do the iowa republican caucuses have a bribery problem? about a year later in february 2013, a former staffer for michele bachmann filed a complaint with the federal election commission. while michele bachmann claimed the only reason she lost was because ron paul was paying money to that guy to get his endorsement, what her former staffer claimed is that michele bachmann was paying too. she also had that guy on the payroll for his endorsement. that complaint was filed february 2013. later that year, october 2013 the iowa state ethics commission concluded an investigation into those allegations and on that specific complaint that the michele bachmann campaign paid the selected official, the ethics commission found that claim to be substantiated. the same day the report came out, the michele bachmann campaign manager resigned his seat in the iowa state senate and declined in an e-mail to his supporters that he had done nothing wrong, that it was a political witch hunt and the whole thing was probably because he was so verbally against gay mar

during that campaign, six days before the iowa caucuses, kent sorenson rocked the political world by publicly switching teams. kent sorenson had been the iowa state chair for the michele bachmann for president campaign, but sort of out of nowhere just six days before the caucuses kent sorenson publicly flipped. spent the afternoon campaigning with michele bachmann as campaign chair, that night appeared on stage at a ron paul event and changed his allegiance to the ron paul campaign. yesterday kent sorenson announced that switch was the result of a $73,000 bribe paid to him by the ron paul for president campaign. he pled guilty in federal court on two counts yesterday. pled guilty to working with the ron paul campaign to lie about the bribe money that was paid to him when the campaign exposed expenditures in federal documents and pled guilty about lying and was an obstruction of justice charge. one way to get in trouble for bribery is get caught taking the bribe. the other way to get caught for bribery is to be caught paying the bribe. in kent sorenson's case, what he pled guilty to an

he's obviously spending a lot of time in iowa for the fact that the iowa caucuses are so influential. and steve king's one of the guys in iowa. so that's kind of who he's got. now, i don't think he looked particularly presidential, backing out and running away. and actually, i think this is one thing that rand paul has been doing pretty well, is that standing up in his caucus, trying to reach out to different constituencies other than the old, white male voters that they're used to. this wasn't exactly his time to shine, so to speak. >> manu, four house republicans like steve king who have basically made it their mission to block immigration reform, and most recently this border bill, they've now headed home. how are they being received by the voters? is it, you know, a sense of praise? are they treated like heroes, or is there a sense of embarrassment? >> no, i think in these conservative districts, they think they've done what those voters wanted. in fact, in a lot of those races when i was talking to a republican congressman last week, the feeling was that they didn't really want t

the iowa caucuses are contest number one. so paul and everyone else have to sfri king's favor which exposes them to the kind of alterations they would rather avoid ahead of the general election. sticking up for the dreamer in the video would plus ably doom paul's primary campaign. so rand paul does what he had to to. aligning yourself with extremists and then trying to run away with them before anyone notices. how is that strategy working out for the gop? apparently not well. according to a poll, just 35% of registered voters have a favorable view of the republican party. among women, those numbers stand at 33%. and among latinos, they are in the basement. a mere 29% of the hispanic population in the united states which by the way is a lot of people, only 29% hold the republican party in a favorable light. so what is the latest strategy? drive the knife in every further. not contend to leave it with the assertion the democratic party is waging a, quote, war on whites. alabama congressman mo brooks is now claiming that dreamers

do you see rapped paul winning the iowa caucuses. >> i doubt it. i have an opinion of rand paul. ut we had an inexperienced senator for the last six years who has been the president. i think you'll see the republican party go back to a governor, someone tested and has executive experience. that is what this nation needs. >> the issue - i agree with you in some respects. my thing about the republican party is they may do to red what they do to mitt romney, which is take someone that is moderate, would can do well that he becomes u.n. electable rand, to some extent. if he can change the conversation, which i think he can do. i don't think jed cap, but i think rand has the capability. so the primary is a different type of election. if he does that, he could become their guy. >> what do you mean different? >> less vitriol, less extreme language from the far right. he has to bring the party a little more moderate so they are not a congressional regional party. what is interesting is that if you take the far - if you take the conversation happening on the left right now, there's some mi
