it's a very -- mike enzi spent a lot of times over the years shaking those hands.ve to prove her credibility on the ground to those voters. >> susan, to that point -- two things on her that strikes me. number one, talking about marriage equality given that that issue is -- definitely there's a split within republican party. watching the split within this family not helpful to the broader issue of trying to build bridges to the lgbt community, i would assume. secondly, there's got to be just bad feelings. i mean, as manu was saying, people feel like enzi's done a good job. there's not really a reason to challenge him. i no i know she likes to cast herself as part of a new generation. that doesn't seem like an argument. >> even though she's running to the right of him she's really not one of these tea party challengers you talked about in your -- mentioned in your introduction. >> we had to throw her in there. >> you threw her in there. i understand for what reasons. yes, she was able to make news. get into the cable news circuit. when it comes to her particular chal

yet you have mike enzi out there. they can't accept they have won the broader argument about spending. i will bring to everyone's attention this quote in mother jones. the war over austerity is over. kevin drum writes, the ultimate result is a budget below even the pipe dream paul ryan budget of 2011. two years ago ryan's budget was basically at the outer limit of mainstream conservative wish lists. today it looks tame. republicans have massively changed spending conversation since 2010. austerity has won. what do you make of that. >> well, i think the most important moment during this debate was when john boehner stood up to the right wing groups that have really put the republican party on that suicide mission and said he's not going to take it anymore. that could create a path forward for some of the president's bigger priorities like immigration reform. i actually think the attention you mentioned on the botched obama care rollout created a distraction from the budget process and allowed senator murray and congres

mike enzi knew what was going to happen. he put a bill on the floor, and all my colleagues said no, we don't want you to be able to keep your insurance. it doesn't work that way. what about the deceit of this? is it significant? sure it is. it's a matter of trust. the third thing, the promise of president obama that on average your health insurance costs will go down $2,500 a year. i don't know who told him that, dr. emanuel or who, i don't know what wiz bang accountant or financial forecaster told him that, but it's just the opposite of that. probably the average american is going to spend about $2,500 more trying to get equivalent care to what they had, not keeping their same insurance and not keeping their doctor. and then finally, the deceit that is assumed but not spoken is that your doctor is going to get to make decisions with you, for you about your health care, because when the independent payment advisory board gets going, it's not just about medicare. it's about everybody. and if a group of unelected bureaucrats t

she's challenging the incumbent republican senator from wyoming, mike enzi has she has a real uphille ahead of her, doesn't she? >> she does. there's a real suspicion about liz cheney. i think that the cheney name helps her an awful lot in the state of wyoming but there's a real question, wolf, of whether she's a carpetbagger and whether she's just coming back to the state of wyoming to run. she moved back there two years politically, and holding political office, so folks out west don't much like carpet baggers. i yesterday when bob kerrey ran for senate in nebraska having left the state for ten years. they didn't think so much of him returning to the state, either. that's been a huge problem of hers, and she hasn't gotten the support of sort of the state hierarchy out there, alan simpson, another senator from wyoming, now retired, is supporting mike enzi, not her, and that's sort of blown up in the press for her. she's got a lot of problems out there and she's behind in every poll taken. >> sig knltly behind, at least in the polls i have seen from wyoming. gloria, i'll see you late

. >> i have worked with the nrsc who is supporting mike enzie, but that is something that's not as much issue, but it's a character issue. it's a question about why is liliz cheney having a fight that's very public in her public. >> a person will try to block a person's right to marriage equality. >> they all agree. >> they agree on this issue, but it's not a problem for mike enzi, it's a problem for liz because she is fighting about it with her sister. >> thank you very much. up next, new details about the crash that killed paul walker. the future of "the fast and furious" franchise. a lottery ticket lost for nearly a year. ♪ (train horn) vo: wherever our trains go, the economy comes to life. norfolk southern. one line, infinite possibilities. is what makes us different. we take the time to get to know you and your unique health needs. then we help create a personalized healthcare experience that works for you. and you. and you. with 50 years of know-how, and a dedicated network of doctors, health coaches, and wellness experts, we're a partner you can rely on -- today, and tomorrow. we

sure to cause trouble for his wife who is running for senate in wyoming against incumbent senator mike enzi well that's nice the real story here is that republicans finally have proof of voter fraud is real and the guilty person is one of their own a federal or a fellow republican. savior this one for one. and the. very ugly bryan fischer phil robertson the star of a nice hit reality show duck dynasty was suspended today in the wake of almost phobic comments he made in an interview with g.q. robertson told reporters that he thought homosexuals sex was unnatural and not once or are obvious and has been rightly criticized for his comments not everyone thinks he's such a bad guy and fischer of the american family association let him know on twitter how he feels about robinson he said phil robertson is a new american hero he said exactly what the great majority of americans believe. whether or not a majority of americans actually do agree with robertson is beside the point what he said was ignorant and hateful fact that anyone could find homophobia worthy hero worship is just fear for. republic

and, you know, a senator from wyoming, the other senator, the senior senator, mike enzi. he was one who was also sounding the alarm during this entire debate. you know, he -- he saw the impacts beforehand. and it was interesting, there was a letter to the editor in the "powell tribune," a newspaper in wyoming, that talked about what we saw coming with this health care law. it was written by someone from gillette, a marion scott. and the headline is, "enzi saw a.c.a. impacts beforehand." it says, "dear editor, fox news," they say, "had a very interesting and informative program tuesday, november 6, on the kelly files with megan kelly. as anyone who watches fox news knows, they are covering the beginning effects of the affordable care act, also known as obamacare, and it is being implemented. megan kelly began her program stating she had a special guest who had predicted three and a half years ago almost exactly what will happen when the obamacare law goes into effect this october. her special guest was our own wyoming senior senator, mike enzi, and he had made his predicti

challenging a popular senator, i might add, mike enzi in wyoming's republican primary next year. >> if the day, senator enzi's going to win. senator enzi's up by double digits. liz cheney has done everything wrong in a primary race. she's labeled as a carpetbagger, lived lived in virginia majority of her life. there's a hunting license and fishing license incident. she's not really in line with her family's thinking when it comes to gay marriage. wyoming, she appears to be flip-flopping back and forth. i think she's going to lose the primary. i think she's going to lose big. >> richard, what about this overall, the republican family feud? is this going to hurt the party? >> you know, dick cheney, liz cheney's dad, was discredited towards the end of the bush/cheney administration nationally. i think he's not helping himself even in wyoming. he seem to be calling in chip his just doesn't have. he's kind of alienating a lot of people on his daughter's behalf. she's certainly trying to run roughshod in a place where she's not getting traction at all. it's not just double digit, it's 20, 3

she is challenging mike enzi. cheney's father will be the key note speaker here in d.c.s negative one. newly minted democrat charlie crist is down a campaign manager in the bid for florida governor. he left abruptly one month into the official campaign. he simply wanted to move back to new york. he was the campaign manager for bill deblazio. 21 is the number of years passed since bill clinton made the remark about not inhaling and smoking pot. it came up in an interview this week that he did with fusion. take a listen. >> have you denied it? >> i never denied they used marijuana. i told the truth. i thought it was funny. the only journalist who was there said i told the truth. everyone else had to cover that up because that's not the story they wanted to tell. >> he said he never tried to hide experimenting with marijuana and doesn't think legalizing pot would end violent in latin american countries. the next number is $153 million, the mind-boggling seven-year deal they inked for out fielder jacoby ellsbury. he's the third highest paid in major league history. more impo

in wyoming, mike enzi faces a nasty challenge from liz cheney. senior senator pat roberts also elected in '96 is being primaried by a tea party backed radiologist. in tennessee, facing a tea party backed opponent. in kentucky mitch mcconnell has to first tango with a republican opponent before taking on a democratic one who's up by two points. and in mississippi as i mentioned, senator thad cochran has got to fight his own party. in georgia there's at least eight republicans vying to replace the retiring senator saxby chambliss. lindsey graham faces a crowded field of republicans to unseat him. these are the faces of powerful republican senators who are forced to defend their seats against their own party. michael steele's an expert. he's a former chair of rnc and political analyst. michelle goldberg writes for the nation. let's be sophisticated about this. some of these states are so conservative that probably the most conservative will win no matter what. south carolina, mississippi. i'm trying to think of the other one. maybe wyoming. there's

she needs to build a case for why mike enzi, who's been elected and re-elected in the state, why he should be fired and replaced by her. none of this, which is basically all we've talked about as it relates to the cheney family in this race for the last couple weeks if not months, none of this goes to building that case. >> and speaking of all the problems that the white house has had and building the case, peter, one of the reasons why democrats are so nervous is they're nervous about losing the senate. and it could turn on mark pryor in arkansas. take a look at his new ad. >> i'm not ashamed to say that i believe in god and i believe in his work. the bible teaches us no one has all the answers, only god does. and neither political party is always right. this is my compass, my north star. it gives me comfort and guidance to do what's best for arkansas. i'm mark pryor, and i approved this message because this is -- >> that's pretty remarkable. one of the most endangered democrats in a red state. actually being targeted by mike bloomberg's mayors against guns campaign to the distress now of

mike enzi, for example. a lot of conservatives. >> mitch mcconnell has a primary, potentially. >> he hasn't exactly said how he's going to vote on this. >> think he will vote no? >> probably. >> so you have senate republicans who are running scared of members of their own party. >> i think that's right. the politics have changed but it's about who has ownership over the deal. a year ago when mcdonnell and biden had a handshake and a deal the senate was this august institution where the republicans and democrats got together and joined hands. now this isn't mcconnell's deal. it's murray who negotiated with the house republicans and consummated this, and add to that when you just talked about -- >> mitch mcconnell didn't want this to be his deal, by the way. he stayed as far away as he could. >> because he's dealing with a primary challenge. >> the other dynamic among democrats is that i mentioned mark pryor, who is probably one of the most endangered democrats. >> from arkansas. >> from arkansas, very tough r

19th in wyoming, of course, is the big showdown the within we have already talked about between mike enzi a family feud when you consider senator enzi hasn't done anything to offend conservatives. he has been close to the cheney family until now. so far enzi, polls show a 50% edge, a lot of time between now and then. >> that is eight incumbent senators up for re-election if 2014 and who are facing republican primary challenges. in a different time, we'd assume that most of these are mostly new sans challenges and we would just ignore them. if we have learned anything in the tea party era, it's that the right is happy to go to war with its own and if you end up on its hit list, it can take you out with literally anyone. just ask mike castle and richard lugger. that's how it worked if 2010. that's how it worked in 2012. we are going to find out if it's going to be the same in 2014. asw stapler purchase in three years. but then i saw the new windows tablet, . ask me what it's like to get your best night's sleep every night.

a very, very thoughtful united states senator, a guy by the name of mike enzi, put in a resolution of disapproval of which would have canceled that regulation. back then, he was able to get it to a vote. now, you would think that if you want to support the president of your party in his promise -- his pledge to the american people, if you like your plan, you're going to get to keep it, period, you'd vote with your president. you would think that would be 100-0. i don't know how republicans could be against that. i don't know how democrats could be against that. after all, that's what this person in authority promised the american people. if you like your plan, you get to keep it, period, he said, over and over and over again. it was like a broken record. you know how that vote went here? let me remind us. it failed on a party-line vote. democrats voted no on the resolution, if you like your plan, you get to keep it. my goodness, is that an embarrassment or what? what was the message that day? were they trying to say no, if you like your plan, you don't get to keep it? the president is

also liz cheney, who is running in the republican primary against long time wyoming senator mike enzingress, but she has long made her home in virginia. just outside of washington, d.c. so with all of the pitfalls of running for office in another state, not the state you're identified with, we have come up with five easy steps to succeeding as a carpetbagger. to go through them with us, at the table, we have msnbc.com political reporter benjy sarlin, ann lewis, ana marie cox of the guardian and sahil kapur of talking points memo.com rejoins us. so, scott brown in new hampshire, the liz cheney in wyoming, i hear that campaign is not going very well. we'll talk about that a little bit in a minute and maybe diagnose it. maybe offer her some friendly advice on how to fix things. let's start going through the rules. i'll put the first one up there. our first rule of successful political carpetbagging is do have a famous name. we think here of an example in new york, 13 years ago, new york state, where hillary clinton, first lady, who was born in illinois, went to school in massachusetts, a

my colleague from wyoming, senator mike enzi, saw this coming. and that's why he came to the floor years ago and said, people are going to lose their coverage. people are going to lose t he brought a resolution to the floor because he actually reads the "federal register," senator enzi does, and he saw the regulations that came out. and he came to this floor with legislation to say, wait a second. if you really believe that people can keep their coverage, you got to adopt this piece of legislation so people really can keep their coverage. and yet we saw republicans vote with senator enzi saying, let people keep their coverage. we saw democrats say, forget it, senator enzi. we don't bheeiv believe you're . the president was wrong. senator enzi was right. there was an article in pow, wyoming, with the headline, "enzi saw a.c.a. impacts beforehafnltdz" shows the value of senator enzi.
