mitt romney comes from royalty back home. so there's very little risk of voter backlash or accountability. he's got the running room of a brand new six-year term in the senate and name recognition off the charts. a lot of people have very high expectations about mitt romney becoming a national figure in this senate. garrett, do you think the indicators are still there or do you see a go along, get along indicator? >> mitt romney set the bar for himself incredibly high with that "washington post" op-ed before his first day as a senator in which he said he'd be willing to break from the president when he felt like it was necessary. so far he hasn't really done that. people have asked me for a long time whether i thought romney would be more like john mccain. i think he's going to ultimately -- he's setting up right now based on what he's done so far to be more like jeff flake, someone who has said he stands up to the president on issues of morality, he'll stand up to him on issues where they disagree but he hasn't proven yet th

mitt romney talks like he's only seen russia by watching rocky iv. >> he had not launched his invasionddling in the 2016 election here but also true, there were some troubling signs already out there in 2012. russia had already invaded the country of georgia. putin had already been implicated in deaths, in disappearances, of journalists, d d d disso dants. few would bat an eye but that was not the case in 2012 and the backdrop for what happened this week in a hearing of the house intelligence committee. testifying before that committee was madilyn albright, former secretary of state and in 2012, albright was one of those democrats who ridiculed romney. featured in an obama campaign video saying mitt romney's claim about russia showed he, quote, had little understanding of what was actually going on in the 21st century. now, albright said she looks at that episode very differently. quote, i think we forget that we forgot we're dealing with a kgb agent and i think he's played a weak hand very well and i personally owe an apology to now senator romney because i think we underestimated wha

. >>> today is mitt romney's 72nd birthday, and he tweeted his office birthday celebration saying, mysed me with a cake made out of my favorite snack, twinkies. which is fitting, like twinkies, romney doesn't age. the weird part, he blew out the candles by picking them up and blowing them out individually. okay, that does it. he's a scroll. there's no way. everything he does is like an alien googled how to do a normal. >> i thought it was weird. it was weird at first, but then i thought he is trying to prevent germsm being spread. >> he's getting his hands, finger germs on it, too. either way, whether you blow and you kind of spit on t way. >> after all we've seen in this country, i'm going to give mitt a pass here. >>> two men in florida gave their dad a birthday present. not like this one. it's different. they turned his phone into a hot line. the sons said they couldn't decide to get him for his 62nd birthday so they got him a giant billboard that sits right outside of atlantic city and includes that photo of their dad, including his phone number with the caption, wish my dad happy

he came out with mitt romney's health care plan and obamacare. mitt romney would not support it.me out with john mccain's global warming control policy with cap and trade. john mccain would not support it. he came out in his attempts to negotiate and entitlements in the budget with george w. bush and yet george w. bush would not open his mouth to say that compromise is to be had. >> every time you think there is a deal to be made with the right, it doesn't happen. >> there is no deal. that is john mccain, george h. w. bush and mitt romney all decided just because they had thought that policies x, y, and z would be good policies for the country, did not mean they were willing to support those policies. if it was turned out to be the tactical political advantagethe oppose them. with that there, practically all you can do if you want to make a better america is to try to find common ground with people who actually would like to do something to drive economic recovery. get more people insured. >> good food for thought. >> try to control global warmer. >> a professor of economics at t

are there more conservatives other than mitt romney that step up and draw a line in the sand here? surprised. you all are surprised the president always needs to have the last word. even when someone has passed away six months ago he still needs to get in the last word. sadly, i think senator romney is probably in the minority when it comes to republicans. i think the republican party has largely become a following of president trump. i know when senator mccain was still alive and battling health issues and battling for his life, at rallies when the president would talk about senator mccain, the crowd was on his side, on the president's side. and so, you know, the tweet that cindy mccain was retweeting and talking about, i think that's almost par for the course. even though that's not -- so, fast-forwarding to next year, sure. i mean, i think we could see cindy mccain at a democratic convention. there are always a couple of people from sort of the other party that join. but i'm not sure it's going to change a lot of minds. >> mccain certainly under the president's skin. that's what

as you heard mitt romney say, this was not about building a border barrier. this was about the constitutionality of who controls the purse strings. so this bill sometime in the next few hour to few days and he will for the very first time use the veto pen. it's not sure if it will go back for a override vote. nancy pelosi has not committed to that. she's probably 40 votes shy of overturns it. based on the senate vote, there's not the 67 votes to kill it or restore it in the senate either. the president meantime plans to keep building miles of new border barrier near the southern border. in the new budget, he's asked for $8.7 billion to build the wall. the president insisting this morn as he sat with ireland's prime minister that a lot of wall is being build now. >> a lot of wall going up. i don't know if you see it or want to see it. there's a lot of wall and a lot of contracts being let out for additional many, many miles of wall. we're going to have hundreds of miles of wall up fairly soon. >> there has been a sharp uptick in the number of people apprehende

and stewart stephens was the top strategist in mitt romney's question for the republican nomination and then his campaign in 2012. stewart stephens has worked on more republican campaigns possibly than he can remember at this point. so this is a very serious republican player who is going to give us a real insight about what the real possibilities are, what the impacts could be from a challenge to a sitting republican president in presidential primaries. the last time we saw that the republican president did not win his re-election. it was when pat buchanan challenged george h.w. bush in republican primaries. president bush got the nomination. buchanan didn't get the nomination. but president bush could not hold on to the white house after that challenge. we're going to hear from stewart stephens about is this the -- is this a year where we could see something like that happen again? >>> but to begin, we are finally getting closer to a very important number, and it's a big one. it's so big that it makes perfect sense why this number would have been deliberately excluded from attorney ge

you know i've called me a diehard but i'd love to see mitt romney sit in that chair right now i think he's got a lot more judgment and heart and i think that some of that would be the party needs to steer itself back a little bit into the into the center right lane and their work recover some of its principles and some of its underpinnings but there are an awful lot of republicans out there who are uncomfortable with donald trump and they won't say it and we're going to see which ones emerge in the coming months and years to try to reclaim that mantle why won't they see it. they are afraid that donald trump will tweet about them larry that's the bottom line they know that if he does that his mob gets turned loose on them their lives become a living hell they're flooded with death threats they're they're miserable they get nothing done because they get pinned down by this gigantic social media mob that trump owns and operates essentially and it and their lives become very difficult so that's they're afraid of mean tweets what democrat would be ok with in the white house. you know that'

rick santorum, john mccain, mitt won republican primaries. barack obama won the democratic caucus, so it is -- sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. it seems the caucuses, their highest function is winnowing the field, if you can't make it here, you're probably not going to make it somewhere else. we talk about tickets out of iowa, the top three finishers can move on, and that is not always the case. it is kind of a good rule of thumb, if you don't finish strong in iowa, you probably are not going to be able to maintain a campaign, a winning campaign. winning iowa doesn't mean -- rick santorum did not go on to get the nomination. ted cruz did not go on to get the nomination. winning in iowa does not guarantee the nomination, but it is a sign of organizational strength, that you can put together a campaign that delivers people to the caucuses almost in the same way that you would have to deliver people to the voting booth. it is a good test in that way. for an agendad that creates jobs and protects the environment and provides health c

mitt romney has been something on the fence.g that group to go against the president. so is the president about to face an embarrassing rebuke from his own party and be faced with putting forth his first veto? we will soon find

mitt romney condemned it on twitter. what about leadership? do you have any reporting there's an appetite for mcconnell, republican leadership to con dedemn the president on this? >> you look what happened even on the campaign trail where the president said he preferred war heros who weren't captured and lot of the gop was frustrated with that comment. and he still remains incredibly popular with the republican party. a lot of these senators fear rebukes from back home if they clash with the president. we saw this week roy blunt, a missouri republican, was disinvited from a republican dinner back in his state after he clashed with the president on the national emergency, after he voted against the president's decision to do that. a lot of grassroots activists are turning on him back in missouri. you have to understand the cost if you go after a popular president in his own party. that's why you don't see a lot of republican senators doing it just because of sheer numbers. >> from may of 2017 where george conway is turning down an offer to work

. >> reporter: mitt romney is one of at least eight senate republicans expected to oppose president trump saying, quote, i am seriously concerned that overreach by the executive branch is an invitation to further expansion and abuse by future presidents and the senate democratic leader is trying to put pressure on republicans. >> all of a sudden again because president trump simply wants it. they say let's abandon those principles and vote, and vote to change fundamentally the way the balance of power works. shame. >> reporter: again, that vote any time now. we'll be watching to see how many other republicans may cross over and oppose this president this one time, dana. >> dana: mike, on the other side of the capitol, the house voted to make the findings of the mueller report public. >> reporter: that's right. 420-0 with this pitch coming from the house intelligence chairman. >> if the special counsel has indeed uncovered evidence of serious wrongdoing on the president's part, that evidence must be furnished to congress and ultimately to the american people. with holding the full report o
