just let me say this.we look at the fiscal cliff drama, i think that democrats are strategically in a very good position as long as we don't panic and pander and give in to the bullying we have seen on the republican side. those poll results, exit poll results after the election showed that americans were fully willing to see those folk who is make over $250,000 a year pay. that's going to bring $83 billion in one year. >> absolutely. >> that's no small change. >> when you refer to with bullying and pandering by those on the other side of the aisle, i have to bring you back to the obvious question. where's the compromise, particularly with entitlement programs? is there compromise there. >> we have already enacted a trillion dollars in cuts. the president has opposed making more cuts. but i think we have seen through our experience in europe that austerity can send us into a deep recession. if there's any hysteria that we ought to be concerned about, that is taking the payroll tax away right away from low

republican governors are saying no. a nonpartisan study said in a state like arizona that arizona could gain 20,000 jobs and $1 billion in revenue, states like florida could gain $100 million in revenue because of monies they don't have to put into their own health care system and increased economic activity this would bring to the state, this is absurd and irrational position. there's only one reason republican governors are doing this. it is because they don't want to be primaried. this goes to the central issue for republicans. are they going to tell the crazy in the primary, the extreme right that have created a minority status for this party, that the positions they want the party to hold are ungovernable, they cannot win elections? are they going to stand up to them the way they didn't stand up to rush limbaugh, the way they didn't stand up to donald trump, stay rational positions or let the inmates be in charge of the asylum -- >> hoeld on -- >> hold on -- >> i'll let you respond in a moment. the other point i wa

for saying that.some point you have to realize the data's not lying. >> let me just say, i want to sort of unravel that a bit. we know gallup certainly didn't do too well all throughout, but cnn certainly got it right. i think you can say nate silver got it right. so there were some people out there who actually got it. >> oh, absolutely. >> so it wasn't everybody. but in some corners. paul, what do you say? >> well, it was mostly corners of the far right. erick was a lonely voice of the reality based conservative movement. this country has changed. you know, back when i worked for bill clinton in 1992, 20 years ago, it was the modern era, we had electricity and jet travel. 88%, 88 of the electorate that voted for bill clinton that voted in the bush election was 88%. that's dropped to 72%. and the republicans are going to have to adapt. we covered all those primaries, erick, joe, you and i we were all over them. and 90, 94%, 95% of the republican electorate in those key primaries was white. they cann
