party. during the shutdowns of 1995 and 1996, gingrich was speaker of the house. [ehrlich robert ehrlich jr. former congressman & governor] sot in 2:39 "it's a bad poker hand." trt=02 robert ehrlich junior served in the u.s. house of representatives alongside gingrich. back then the gop kept most baggage sealed behind closed doors. [ehrlich sot] in 1:50 "t punditry at the time said that's it, the crazy republicans are going to lose. guess what, it didn't happen, people tend to forget that." trt=:07 sure, the republicans image suffered from the shutdown fights of the 1990's but as ehrlich underscores it was not a disaster. [frazao standup] in "by comparison, some political analysts see irreprable damage to the g-o-p brand this time around. political infighting is no longer out of sight but on display for all to see." trt=:11 here's republican senators bob corker and ted cruz last week dancing on each other's jugular.

but what the republican tea party did, it would be like if you're playing a game of poker and you knowh all the chips on the table, well, that's just stupid or crazy. neither of which are very good. and i have to tell you, iffer the business community, it was very unsettling to see the tea party overplay the hand so poorly, you know. it's almost incompetent for politicians to negotiate that way. so it was not the finest moment for the republican party. and i think a business is genuinely reflecting on whether there are enablers of this dysfunction and whether we have to be more supportive of the entire center of the spectrum. whether it's democratic or republican. i hear that conversation going on everywhere. and i have to tell you, that's where i am at. >> does auto nation got to prepare for obama care? how would it -- how is it affecting auto nation? >> well, it's a lot of preparation work. first, as far as why it was pushed out a year for employers, i can tell you unequivocally the systems are simply not ready. that it would function and you would have what's going on now for indivi
