ron reagan remembers he saw fdr in the back of the train somewhere in iowa. think it was des moines. he said a german event as i mentioned before. everyone has creation stories. clinton never meant lbj. he told us he thought as all presidents or their successors, history will be kinder to him. that is what they hoped for. right over here. >> said the implications of the president's cloud is are there similar models and prime ministers of written? >> i think what is amazing about the presidents cup -- let me answer it this way. i read a story in "the new york times" that it was inevitable this circus would be defeated because he wasn't a typically french president. the french like their presidents grandfatherly and cool in anti-american. [laughter] and sarkozy was none of those things. and that reminds me when they go back to this picture, i mean, go back to these. there is nothing in common about any of these guys. they're all different. we elect presidents who don't begin to sit in the same. if you have back to be just as you can if you added nixon and johns

i think he'll be very close in wisconsin but a republican hasn't won it since ronald reagan ron 49 out of 50 states. when that happens, he'll win one of the following states if not more. he'll win either new mexico, nevada, iowa and that will put him into the 280 range and like i said, starting it off by definition, mitt romney will be the next president of the united states.

he can't even say development romney, but you can certainly say that margaret thatcher, and ron -- ronald reagan, until they got involved in politics from almost everyone was liberal. liberal in the classical sense. in the 1920s and 1930s, it became apparent that classical liberalism wasn't the only thing. you had the right to a own your own life and decide what she wanted to do, but there were forces out there that we're going to stop you from doing it. there were combinations of big business and other powerful forces that made it impossible for people to live out their lives according to the philosophical precept, even though technically they have the right. basically you had the right to start. so, you know, beginning with the new deal, liberals led by franklin roosevelt, whose proud to call himself a militant liberal, they reformed liberalism to bring in the idea that in order for classical liberalism to make any sense, you needed a strong central government on the side of the individual, on the side of poor people and of working people. so that they could have -- so there could be some fair

. >>> 1984, ron altd reagan won re-election by such a huge margin, he won 49 states.ald reagan that year even won wisconsin as a republican, which is almost statistically impossible. democrats always win wisconsin in presidential elections. since democrats lost that one year in 1984, when they lost everything, they have won wisconsin ever year since. when the democrats lost the next election in 1988, they still won wisconsin. michael dukakis won in 1988. in 1992, bill clinton and the democrats won wisconsin. in 1996, same again, democrats won wisconsin wi. when the democrats lost and bush beat al gore. al gore nevertheless won wisconsin. in 2004 when president george w. bush beat john kerry, kerry won in wisconsin. for the last 24 years, democrats have won wisconsin in presidential elections every single time. this year, however, republicans say they are going to win it. at least so said mitt romney today. >> we're going to win wisconsin and we're going to get the white house. >> reporter: the implicit case that republicans are making this year about them having good

host: let's talk about ronned -- ronald reagan for a minute. guest: i don't see constitutional problems with ronald reagan but with richard nixon. you have to call it straight. when a republican president messes around with the constitution, you have to say so and when the democratic president does as obama does now, you have to see that happen. host: fred barns, the real reagan out this morning from "the weekly standard" and inside, he points out this. reagan's own writings, the four elements of the conventional profile that he was uninformed, detached, dependent on advisors and lazy and in his piece, fred barnes points out not only his personal experience in interviews with ronald reagan in the 1980's but a number of books including the reagan diaries. guest: no, i knew reagan pretty well and i sometimes smile when i see these caricatures of him. he was very well informed. a lot of intellectuals think is that if you are smart and well informed, you have to be agonistic. you have to be restless with ideas and sweating and so forth. reagan was

i'm sure that's offensive to you, and saying ron paul is the second coming of reagan. can't look it to those folks and say, okay, he help us elect mitt romney. how do they win nevada? >> i think they have to have a thick skin about it. it appears that they have. i think you have to appreciate in a democracy, and we don't live in a dictatorship where everyone falls in line. >> the party is a dictatorship. >> four years ago the most dramatic convention i'd seen in a long time, and i've been doing a lot and i've been to both parties' national conventions for the last two-cycles, the hillary people. there was a lot of drama there and what do you do at the convention. >> there were no hillary clinton coups in the states, right? there was no hillary clinton -- >> they didn't take over the state parties. it opportunity or appetite to take over ate state party is glorious. how great. they cared the most and worked the hardest and took over a few state parties. we'll see if it has the consequences of derailing mitt romney's chances in the states. the fact that we can still do t

county republican party, where george bush begat mitt romney, question mark, and ronal reagan gave the world the ronl exclamation point. when this freedom of expression from republicans in the populated part of swing stated nevada made national headlines this month, the clark county republican party decided to try to distance itself from the anti-mitt romney billboard, saying the billboard was not the party's per se, it belongs to a member of the party's executive board. they said they're not even that concerned with federal elections even if they don't like mitt romney much. they presumably include the presidential one this fall that the national republican party is trying to win in part using nevada's electoral votes. the question is whether or not clark county republicans in nevada have been taken over by the ron paul movement, the answer is yes. does that matter to national republicans who really sorely, truly would like to elect mitt romney and who would like nevada's help in doing that? you would ask that question about iowa, too. ron paul won the majority of iowa's delegates at the convention
