but there's a strong challenge from senator robert taft. eader, senior conservative and a president's son. >> taft and dewey were natural lifelong and enthusiastic enemies. they were profoundly different men in vision. they were put on the planet to piss each other off. >> dewey has 350 delegate votes in the bag. but he still needs 200 more. >> preparation was dewey's middle name. dewey made sure that he had a card file on every delegate, who their friends were. who might be in a position to influence them. >> dewey's campaign manager is herbert brownell, a man who will go farther than most to get what he wants. >> he operated to get things done and he had his own style and knew what he was doing. >> brownell's mission, to get delegates to vote for dewey. easy when you know their darkest secrets. >> the taft people, with a touch of paranoia believe that the vaunted eastern establishment knew your bank accounts. probably who you slept with. all sorts of things with which to compel you to vote against your interests and your philosophical incl

discretionary review, initiated by the judiciary act of 1925, which was a reform that taft himself had championed. as dean robert post of yale argued, the act of 1925 presented a fundamental transformation of the role of the supreme court. before the act, the court was primarily tribunal, it was the highest and last source of appellate review, whose chief function was prickly to discern -- correctly to discern and protect the rights of litigants. constriction rp completely overrode this obstinate conception of the court was to be the vindicator of all federal rights, and acts extrude enlargement of the courts discretionary appellate jurisdiction express the profound recharacterization of the court's function. marshall died in 1835, having outlived jefferson by nine years. according to justice story, his final words were a prayer for the union. his strength in death, his cover , story wrote in marshals eulogy, it would be difficult to name his superior. even the gimlet-eyed justice holmes remarked of american law -- remarked that if american law were to be represented by a -- by a single alone, it could be one jo

robert taft's idea. so that doesn't exactly answer the question. part of it was simply that reagan had become althy man and was making a lot of money at the time when the top marginal rate on income tacks was 90%, and you don't to be a consecutive to think that 90% is highy you want to support people who will bring it down. another part, this is really important. reagan's political evolution development was that he got a job as a spokesman for the management of the general electric company, and they were paying his way for eight years of his life between his hollywood career and political career, and this was a time when they were writing the check for him, and reagan was used to basically playing the roles of whoever the screen writers were, and now he is writing his own script but understands where the money is coming from. i didn't -- he didn't ask to -- have to lose a strongly held belief to gradually think that the private enterprise system works pretty well and one of his jobs was to convince the workers, the ge workers, from strongly unionizing against manage. and there's some telling mo

this move to name a running mate before the convention in hopes of winning the convention, it hasn't worked before. three other times, 1952, robert taftaid he would pick mcarthur and reagan said i'll pick richard schweiker and lost to ford and jerry brown said i'll bring jesse jackson, caused him to lose in new york. it doesn't work, no reason to believe in this case it will work because already the math is working against cruz. >> let's talk a little bit about trump which ed says has been overshadowed by the fiorina pick. he's being criticized for lack of specifics and mixed messages. let's talk about what his message was successful in doing yesterday. fran francesca? >> yesterday he was successful at showing he could have a different side and be more presidential as the campaign has been saying he would do if he was the republican nominee. now, there are plenty of his critics saying that they don't like what he had to say yesterday about being more unpredictable. madeleine albright said when she finally did hear what donald trump had to say on foreign policy when he was reading off a teleprompter and tim cain as well said the same t

a direct democracy, where whoever gets the most votes wins. go back to the days, the other way, of eisenhower having sort of the party loyalists choose him over robert tafthis year. and that's where he's having trouble getting the delegates. >> bob costa, do we kbpt trump insiders in trump's camp and also in cruz and kasich's camp, they're starting to believe it's more likely looking at these polls where he's even ahead in indiana that donald trump reaches the 1,237 he needs to get the nomination on the first ballot? >> there's a sense that trump is barreling towards that number. and that's why this deal is so significant, because cruz, according to many of his associates, needs to win indiana. and trying to get kasich out of that equation puts cruz at least on the map to try to come back in those polls. >>> gene robinson, do you think this collusion actually could pay off? >> you know, i think it has paid off in the sense that it is dominating the news cycle right now. we're talking about it. >> but isn't that just giving dru donald trump more material? >> and we're not talking about the fact that these two guys are going to get creamed tomorrow and he'
