bob mcdonald wants to rewrite history. he's attempting to modify his very anti-choice record to make it look less extreme. he's so out of touch with america's value and priority. as you said, this is a guy that was not on the sidelines of thi debate. he was the quarterback as a legislature, and the attorney general and now as governor to pass the mandatory ultrasound, to take on abortion providers in the state of virginia. his ambitions are trumping his values here in trying to modify this position. the american public will not be fooled. >> are his ambitiouses opening up a window for the rest of us into seeing how far is too far for republicans? when we saw rick perry who has always been very anti-abortion. he's been anti-abortion legislature and governor, to see him go through his public conversion tearing up on the stump in iowa talking about how he no longer believes in exemptions to the criminalization of abortion, to see that, i felt like there was no going back. i thought if that's what you need to do in order to co

bob mcdonald decides whether you're getting an abortion. that has always been his position for two decades. except now he's trying to say it's not anymore. the washington post reporting that he would allow you to have an abortion if your pregnancy was the result of rape or incest. this is new. this is a whole new position for him. he's never said this before. he's never said this to appear he was going to be vice president. asked to explain, his spokesman said there's been no flip-flop. there's been no change. it's just that bob mcdonald's issue has been misunderstood for two decades. it's been misreported and he's never complained about it before which is an amazing political contention. but does also raise a really interesting, and i think, open question, which is whether the conservative movement and the anti-abortion movement has been so successful in swinging republican politics so far to the right on the issue of abortion that republicans have now scared themtselves. how we reach the limit of republican radicalism on abortion and the
