ron brownstein wrote something interesting in "the atlantic" last september. he writes this. "the key question facing the gop is whether obama's 2012 performance represents a structural democratic decline among whites that could deepen further in the years ahead or a floor from which the next democratic nominee is likely to improve. in recent months, a chorus of conservative analysts bet on the first option. they insist by republicans by improving both turnout and already gaping margins among whites can recapture the white house in 2016 without reformulating their agenda to attract more minority voters." do you see any evidence that perhaps the voices in the party saying we don't need to change policy, we just need to get out more white voters, are actually winning the battle? >> they're winning the battle in congress because i think congressional leaders are more focused on the 2014 election and the paradox here is republicans are going to be just fine. they're probably going to do well in the 2014 elections because the electorate there tends to be older, whiter, more male, more conservative, but, you know, and that's why they haven't shifted policies on major issues because that exact electorate
