robert zimmerman, john avalon, and will cane. robert, you had the last word as we went into break.e just about to jump in, but will, i want to give you a second to come back first and then i'll let john weigh in. >> let me see if i can tie a ribbon around these two guys' disagreement. on one level, this is a victory for the center that understand you must raise the debt ceiling. that is nonnobodiable. but on the other level, it's a complete failure on substantive issues. this isn't a victory for the center because there's no real substantive move toward deficit reduction, no touch on entitlements. so that was a victory for poll tes politics in general. >> we had the poll numbers that came out in the past 45 minutes or an our saying that more than 70% of americans think our lay makers were acting like spoiled children versus responsible adults. >> and i agree with that. this was a totally dysfunctional process that was directly produced by the hyper party is an ship that the two parties have been playing with for a long time now. the fact that we avoid theis an ship that the two par

once again, democratic national committee member robert zimmerman, good to see you, sir. ureau chief robert trainemin iowa and will cain. all first question. last night the gop contenders really went at it. let's take a listen and the question comes next. >> people are looking for a champion. they want someone who's been fighting. >> she led the effort against obama care. we got obamacare. she says she's got a titanium spine. it's not her spine we're worried about. it's her records of results. if that's your view, please stop because you're killing us. >> i wish you would put aside the gotcha questions. i'd love to see the rest of tonight's debate asking us about what we would do to lead an america whose president has failed to lead instead of playing mickey mouse games. >> i'm not going to eat barack obama's dog food. what he served up is not what i would have done as president of the united states. i would have cut federal spending. >> he sees it the same way as barack obama sees it. we have to go around and apologize for the fact we've exerted our influence to create fr

fire look at the hottest political topics of the day, three questions, 30 seconds on the clock, robert zimmerman. first question, rick perry says if bernanke prints more money before the election it's almost treasonous. >> printing more money to play politics at this particular time in american history is almost treacherous -- treasonous, in my opinion. >> guys, this is kind of rhetoric, presidential, robert? >> you know, keira, that same interview he went on to say if ben bernanke went to texas they would treat him pretty ugly and also went on to challenge whether president obama loves our country. so he doesn't qualify to show presidential stature, even to be a local high school president. but far more important than his punk behavior is the ignorance of the constitution. when he said to "newsweek" and the "daily beast" he didn't think social security and medicare were constitutional. when it's all said and done, he'll just be another caricature for "saturday night live." >> oh, will. >> look, set aside rick perry's rhetoric for a minute. his principles are in the right r place. if the fed pri

democratic national committee member robert zimmerman. good morning to you, sir.d independent john avalon. good to see you. cnn contributor will cain. gentlemen, good to see you all. let's talk about sarah palin, shall we? she is crashing the presidential party. i don't know if you want to call eight crash. she is sarah palin and doesn't need a ticket to party, does she? her bus tour is going to iowa just in time for the ames straw poll this weekend. let me start with you, robert. is this noncampaign working for her? >> well, t.j., it is working in the context we are talking about her. but the bigger question is, is she relevant? the sarah palin reality tv show was canceled earlier this year. her last book didn't move well at all. and, of course, sarah palin, the movie, made the remakes of "arthur" and "then lantern" look successful. i don't know what's left for her except for doing "the housewives of wasilla." >> does it keep her relevant? >> yeah, that's why she is back in it. look, i'm going to beat you over the head with a completely forced metaphor. this is l
