rogers, but if she has views like michele bachmann that doesn't work. that didn't stick either. she was a combat veteran, and there was that ad that went viral where she said she grew up on a farm and castrated hogs avenue how to cut the pork in washington. so the ability of her to relate to these people here in iowa was maybe what put her on top. >> iowa is considered to be a bell weather state, what does it mean for 2016? >> well, democrats admit that iowa was critical, and it has been a litmus test as you say for what may happen in 2016. we have seen a slew of candidates come through iowa. and now we see joni earnst will be the power broker when it comes to the iowa caucus us. so iowa, very, very important when it comes to 2016, del. >> thank you very much. >>> we are joined by a prof profez -- professor of campaign management at nyu. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> what kind of gridlock are we expecting to come in the next two years. >> yeah, we have had several years of a do-nothing ko kong -- congress and we could see more of that. but i think there will be bright

rogers if she is voting for michelle bachmann she is wrong for iowa.f republicans said that it would be national news. wall to wall news. in this case he will probably get away with that. remember in 2008 when hillary clinton lost the primary in iowa one of the things she said in talking about her loss is i was very surprised to see that iowa never elected statewide a women to office. now iowa is about to and it will be republican women jody ernst. with landrieu i am surprised she is won statewide elections three times. she is well liked in the south. this is knotted her year. if i were here i would have insisted president obama had a campaign down in new orleans. if the race is that close it could have helped turnout the base to her and it would have been a different story. she is going to change the media environment completely. she will be the only one that did it. >> we have to run, juan. he may still have a chance because it may go to a >> thanks for being with us to look at the runup to the mid terms. so much more to come as america heads to the

rogers, but if she votes like michelle bachmann she is wrong for the state of iowa. >> now, today, harkin said her comments were wrong, a mistake, that he is only human, he didn't want to hurt or found nip but never specifically apologized to ernst, who was a national guard lieutenant in iraq. she, on the other hand, tried to rise above the controversy after taylor swift released her concert schedule for 2015, and, guess where she is going to play? in des moines next october so ernst tweeted out today, excited to see taylor swift in des moines on october 8th next year on her tour. >> must have been mumusic to her ears. peter barnes, thank you very much. amazing what can happen in the final hour0s of the campaign. despite theodicy u dustup democrats are sounding confident they'll hold on to the senate. is governor mitt romney just as confident? governor romney welcome. we're getting indications that the white house is very confident it will keep democrats in charge of the senate. do they know something you don't? >> no, they don't look at any polls different than the ones the people across

the only two votes in the house were both punitive anti-immigration measures endured by michele bachmann and steve king. but let's take a step back. my bottom line despite all the nice rhetoric from leader mcconnell and new majority leader kevin mccarthy, if the--i believe that the take away--if you think that the take away for the republican caucus is that they feel they're going to need to crow mice more, i'm telling you, you're in the wrong business. >> tell me why you feel that way. >> the senate republican caucus, joni ernst. she has a proposal to abolish the department of education. that is so 1994. i didn't know that was still around. the house is still dominated by tea party types, and senator mcconnell has three members, senator rubio, senator paul, and senator cruz, all of which are going to run for president. >> yes, are there any areas kind of natural areas of overlap here of congress who think they can work together? >> yes, as the president indicated earlier, and as senator mcconnell, there is a handful of issues where i think they can reach an agreement. i think there is g

according to a presentation slide that he wrote last year and representative michele bachmann joins us now. representative, good to have you tonight. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> is this just about jonathan gruber? he is unappealing and saying things that upset people and doesn't have effect on underlying law. >> it absolutely has impact on underlying law. that's what the underlying law is it says we are big government. we're going to make the decisions. you go stand in the corner and you pay the bills. you get whatever it is that we say you are going to get. what this really shows, these commence from jonathan gruber is what leftist really think about the american people when they are behind closed doors the mask came down and now they think that senior citizens are stupid. they aren't capable of making their own choices on prescription drugs. again, this gives us more fuel, martha going forward for repeal. the night that obamacare passed i was on the floor of the house of representatives. i went back to my office. the next morning we introduced the repeal of obamacare. that'

you know, victoria, michele bachmann, the congresswoman, this is what she said about the president's plan. the social cost will be profound on the u.s. taxpayer. millions of unskilled, il let rat, foreign nationals coming into the united states who can't speak the english language. how many do comments like this undermine the republicans' efforts to be taken seriously in the debate? >> first of all, she's incorrect. by putting forward this executive action, we'll have increased revenue from back taxes and fines. second, in terms of rhetoric, they're alienating latinos, we get to than but more interestingly, they're alienating the moderate middle. they're even alienating republicans, because don't forget there are sizeable portions of the republican party who support immigration reform. they're saying it makes sense. so by using this rhetoric, you're pushing a lot of people away and endearing yourself to a small tea party extreme. >> when your uncle comes over for thanksgiving, you might hear this. >> the emperor in chief of the united states is going to declare war on the u.s. consti

but if she votes like michele bachmann, she's wrong in the state of iowa. >> reporter: joni ernst heardse comments late last night. she said she was offended by harkin's comments. she says that if she were a man, he wouldn't have said that. she said she's going to shake it off like taylor swift does. >> all right. we'll be in iowa. pamela brown, thanks. >>> still ahead, we're going to live to kentucky where a challenger is not giving up her fight against senate ma snort leader. we'll take you live to georgia as well where famous southern political families are fighting to establish their own legacies. we asked people a question how much money do you think you'll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to like, pull it a little further got me to 70 years old i'm going to have to rethink this thing it's hard to imagine how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. so maybe we need to approach things differently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪ don't put off checking out y

michele bachmann saying the social cost of this dpektive action will be profound on the u.s. taxpayer, millions of unskilled, illiterate foreign nationals coming into the u.s. that can't speak the english language. for the community that had a lot to do to make up with the immigrant community in the united states, that is not helpful. >> not at all. and i think that's what boehner and mitch mcconnell is afraid of. their message is so off when they are talking to the tea party that is not going to welcome the latino community into their camp. but at is same time saying we missed the boat on this. how do we provide permanent relief or the president will own a generation. >> stick with me. it is good to see you. thank you for your time. >>> after the break we will look at the numbers and see who is now comped. plus, ferguson waits. a grand jury decision about the michael brown killing is expected in coming days. we'll go live to ferguson just ahead on "now." celebrate what's new, the bigger, better menu at red lobster! with more of what you love! try our newest wood-grilled comb

. >> if she votes like michele bachmann, she's wrong for the state of iowa. >> i was very offended thatator harkin would say that, i think it's unfortunate that he and many of their party believe that you can't be a real woman if you're contest and you're female. >> i want to make it very clear. that i hope that senator every, ever intended anybody, but i'm only human. i make mistakes. >> i'm only human, i make mistakes. >> look, in terms of what he actually said, i don't think this is, you know, if you're going to talk about outrageous comments, he shouldn't have said what he said, but is this to the kind of thing that would decide an election? i don't think so. but what i think has republicans particularly exercised about this is the double standard. if the republican candidate stumping for his success sorry had said something like this, every republican across the country would have had to answer the question, do you agree with what senator harkin said or not, the fact that republicans haven't been asked that demonstrates a clear double standard. and ah, so you can see like right her

but if she votes like michele bachmann she's wrong for the state of iowa. [ cheers and applause ] >>now that was hard to hear but in essence he says i don't care if she's as good looking as taylor swift or nice as apple pie. so, margaret -- >> nice as mr. rogers. he threw a guy in there. >> he threw a guy in there. >> it's unfortunate senator harken would say when joni ernst would be the first female combat veteran elected to the u.s. senate and the first woman elected statewide in iowa's history. it's unfortunate. you hear about the war on women but i think the headline here is that the war on women has failed to solidify a lead for democrats in women in this election cycle and you see mitch mcconnell is leading alison grimes, a woman, by four points in kentucky. you have the republican senate candidates in arkansas, in alaska, and in colorado leading by women. so you -- what you actually see is republicans have done pretty well by all standards, especially against the backdrop of a failed 2012 this time around. partly because we have good candidates. >> another example of that, hil

congressman gardener voted against the proposal that michele bachmann and others presented before they went on break saying they would defund any and all future actions. congressman gardener was one of the handful that voted against that. let's talk about the keystone pipeline, what is a time table and what's the impact on, we'll, let's talk about louisiana. >> it's all about lasouisiana. the senate plans to vote early next week. the house votes today. it came suddenly to the forefront as mary landrieu the senator from louisiana tries to hang on as the last vulnerable democrat standing. you saw mary landrieu decide she was going to push forward. the republicans in the senate were irked by it. they don't want to give her an opportunity to declare a big win on the keystone. she staked her job on the idea she's the energy chairwoman. she can get things done. she's been criticized for not able to get a vote on keystone. democrats are not entirely happy either. there are many environmentalists on the left wing of the democratic party who don't really want have to stand up and take vote. and

i think the michele bachmann's of the world, i don't know what they want to do, chop off new york andois and end it to another company or something. but the john boehners don't want that to happen. they won't fund a shutdown. the republican party is a much more establishment party, the leadership is back in control. but they will have to do something and they will have to change their posture and their confrontation with the president over the budget issues the to come will just be more hostile because the for fat of hostility has increased. >> woodruff: meanwhile they're suing the president over healthcare, the lawsuit threatened months ago which is finally underway. >> my attitude is fine, go ahead and sue. it's not going anywhere, i'm sorry to say. there's a lot of rules that courts say that basically we don't want to get involved in refereeing disputes between the two branches, but if that drains off some of the energy, go ahead, not only sue him over healthcare but this, too. >> lawyers are always for suits. (laughter) >> woodruff: all right, 2016. we want to show everybody at le
