tim pawlenty, seriously, tim pawlenty? none of these people are running. and neither are like a half dozen more people who they put on there. nikki haley is on there, allen west is on there. but the republican national committee is promoting them all as potential presidential candidates anyway. it's very strange. we have posted the screen shots of this direct mail at maddowblog.com and posted a link to the republican party's online version of it, gop.com/primaryballot. it's not really a primary ballot. but it's strange. it's surprising to me that the republican party is pushing even more candidates than the zillions of candidates who they already really have running. and speaking of those zillions, get ready for zillion and one. new jersey governor chris christie has reportedly now set a date. multiple reports today saying that chris christie will be announcing on tuesday in livingston, new jersey, that he's running for president. although, weirdly, tonight on his monthly ask the governor radio show, he denied having made any final decision, despite those

tim pawlenty was a republican governor and vetoed it. that was 2009. was blue state oregon, which had a democratic legislator and governor kicked up staring having been a democratic secretary of state that liked the idea of automatically registering everybody in the state to vote. kate brown enacted this first in the nation law to register everybody to vote. she signed it in march. they think it will add 300,000 people to the roles in oregon, people eligible to vote but weren't signed up, 300,000 people in one swoop and now former secretary of state is putting that model for the whole nation, the whole model the whole nation should follow. i will be as mazing to hear why they that is such a terrible idea everybody would be registered to vote but given a huge shot in the arm to people who want the that oregon model to be in place around the country, in particular giving a shot in the arm to another state that wants to do it, the most populous state in the nation, oregon added 300,000 people to the rolls when they did this. if california does it, if cali

mitt romney didn't attend last time and michelle bachman didn't attend followed by tim pawlenty.happenedful have vowed to skip the straw pole this year and now it has been voted to cancel it altogether. this doesn't mean there aren't straw polls it just means they will happen behind closed door with a different set of voters. half a dozen are attending one such event. the e-2 summit hosted by mitt romney at the swanky stein ericson lodge in utah. it stands for experts and enthusiasts and they have cookouts and sing alongs including pilates with anromney and flag football are marco rubio and tomorrow morning skeet shooting with lindsey graham. and in the interview with kasie hunt, graham explained the summit's performance. >> the people in this room could effect the campaign. it takes millions and millions of dollars to run a campaign. you need two things a good campaign team to make sure that you are effective and you need investment, you need financial resources, to go out and win a rrt -- retail political contest but the good thing is all of the people in that room they don't h

tim pawlenty was a republican governor and vetoed it.s when the democrats in the legislature sent him that. that was 2009. this year, it was blue state oregon, which had a democratic legislature and a democratic governor who had just been kicked upstairs having been a democratic secretary of state that liked the idea of automatically registering everybody in the state to vote. kate brown enacted this first in the nation law to register everybody to vote. you have to try not to be registered. she signed it in march. they think it will add 300,000 people to the roles in oregon, people eligible to vote but weren't signed up, 300,000 people in one swoop and now former secretary of state hillary clinton is putting that forward as the model for the whole nation, the model the whole nation should follow. it's going to be amazing to hear all the republican candidates try to explain why that's a terrible idea, that everybody would be registered to vote. but she's also just given a huge shot in the arm to people who want that oregon model to be in

and walker -- john: remember tim pawlenty? mark: and also tommy thompson.alker is from a neighboring state. he grew up in iowa. not only do people like that fact, but they are comfortable with him culturally and know his record in wisconsin not just from hearing about it across the border, but because he has been there enough that it is starting to burn through. we heard that in our focus group. i think walker right there is in a stronger position than our poll indicates, in the sense that he has not been there much. john: there is two things to say additionally. the geography thing, if you look deep in these numbers -- a lot of his strength comes from the northwest corner of the state, which is familiar because they get wisconsin media. the second thing is, he is making himself into an iowa candidate. his positions on immigration are popular with the iowa base. he is running as an evangelical candidate, not the establishment scott walker. he is running as the base pleasing grassroots version. that is part of the appeal. he is running straight to the heart

and that is not what happened with tim pawlenty.e saw him bow out after he lost in the iowa straw poll. it looks like a lot of the top tier candidates won't participate in a straw poll so we're not sure what the situation will be. and what gloria just said what mccain said he said the first six months saying how on earth did i get here and then saying how on earth did the rest of these guys get here. and if i can do this job, i can do that one. >> thank you to you both. >> michelle and jim bob duggars speaking out about how they tried to deal with it in house as parents and how they think they are the targets of what they call an unprecedented attack. okay guys, we've got two cars here. we're going to start watching a movie in the chevy malibu. ♪ (kids laughing) he's flying ok guys, pause the movie we're going to watch the rest in the toyota camry. hit play again ehhh. what happened? you can't watch the movie. ugh... no network connection. who wants to go back in the chevy malibu? me! let's go! peace out! chevrolet. the first and on

we are now joined by a victim of that last iowa republican straw poll former minnesota governor tim pawlenty. you bet it all, bet the ranch on iowa and it was that straw poll that knocked you out. so this is this is an improvement, i imagine, in your view about how to conduct campaigns in iowa? ? lawrence, long time no see. good to be with you. and yes, as to the iowa straw poll i say good riddance. there's a little more as it relates to my campaign. the fact of the matter is we were running out of money, in fact out of money in advance of the straw poll. we hoping to do well there to gain momentum and get traction back. weigh we were just out of money. i didn't even know what a super pac is. now it's a prerequisite to run. it was a poor redibter of anything. so again, i say good riddance to you. >> have you chosen your candidate out of this field? >> i have not, lawrence, no. >> kasie hunt has a question for you, governor. >> governor nice to see you. one of the other things that happened to you in the 2012 race was that punch that you pulled against mitt romney in one of those early debate

but it hasn't helped with people like governor tim pawlenty of minnesota. he's a governor.overnor. he can talk about what he did with the union and he's an evangelical so he works nicely with people in that state. boxes in iowa and he's got a good team there. >> is he the front-runner so far? >> he's the front-runner in iowa. he's in the top tier of candidates sort of nationally. but the question is how does he go from iowa to new hampshire. when he gets to iowa he'll run into jeb bush and chris christie. >> hillary clinton, how is her campaign changing? >> it's shifting more into a policy mode. the question is will it be overarching or quit shots. that matters because people are looking at the overarching idea. >> economic ins. >> economic issue, college, affordable, women's issues. >> all right john. he continues his coverage of the 2016 sunday morning "face the nation" right here on krps. >>> republican's lindsey graham is reaching out to caitlyn jenner. he told cnn he -- >> if caitlyn jenner wants to be safe and have a prosperous economy, vote for me but i'm running to

so tim pawlenty million people are currently overall but 85% received subsidies. the average subsidy is $272 per month, which is what results in the affordability. >> and just quickly tell us, how many people have received additional care through expansion of medicaid? >> the question of the total number, because of the our people in terms of the expansion itself about 10 million people are the estimates in terms of those states that have expanded. >> so add those two together and we're talking about individuals with families, and the republicans come here and castigate you and this president. this you should really be on the other foot. i yield back. >> mr. johnson? >> thank you, mr. chairman. i hardly know how to follow that. i guess i'm supposed to thank you for being here but i have to tell you i'm not in agreement with much of what you are saying. let me just ask you. you know we are trying to to get the health care back in shape, and it sounds like to me that you want to go your way and not try to work with us. and let me just ask you if there are any propos

but regional hasn't helped with pim like governor tim pawlenty of minnesota.ernor mood. he has accomplishments as governor. he can talk about what he did with the union. and also he's an evangelical, that works with conservatives in that state. he kind of as they say in the horrible cliche of politics checks a lot of boxes in iowa. and he's got a good team there. he's spent some time there. >> is he the front-runner so far? >> he's the front-runner in iowa. certainly in the top tier of candidates, sort of nationally. but the question is, how does he go from iowa to new hampshire? in new hampshire he's going to run into jeb bush chris christie, and they're building strongholds this. >> hillary clinton has a big speech on saturday. >> i think her campaign is trying to shift into policy mode. is there an over arching message or a quick shot and that matters because people are looking for that overarching idea behind her campaign. >> on economic issues? >> economic issues, college, affordability, women's issues. >> thanks john. john continues coverage of the 2016

last election tim pawlenty caught flack talking about 5% growth. 4% is reasonable.'t want to echo jeb's point, but 4% is an achievable level. to counter ethan, sorry, we can do it probably without double digit growth. >> there is an underlying reason this debate is going on if you look at deutsche bank some of the research saying we probably already hit the inflection point, reaching full employment capacity in this economy and seeing wages start to pick up. you could argue if the economy -- if the speed limit is much lower and we've already hit that, if we want 4% growth that's why we would see more inflation. >> to be clear, btig is in the pro-inflation camp. i wouldn't go so far to say the threat of deflation is over. clearly the bias to up side in wages and inflation with the worst of energy decline behind us. >> let's bring tim seymour into this conversation. >> herb was talking about single stock shorts versus indices. that is a sign where investors are more fearful. if you look at fund manager surveys we are at almost 5% cash. you see portfolio managers looki

tim pawlenty in 2011 dropped out because he throws michele bachmann.s is one of those -- now we have -- bell get to it later in the show i guess the debates going to do the same thing the iowa straw poll is doing. a picture. this is jill biden.just yesterday, vice president joe biden's wife making her first public appearance since the death of their sop. she was helping to crisp the "uss gabrielle giffords requests "named after the former congresswoman from arizona, part of the ceremony, secondly, smashing a champagne bottle over the boat's bow. see there. giffords and her husband, retired captain kelly own hand. this was held in alabama yesterday. obviously, nice to see jill biden.back out in public. see what else we have here. from the because post. headline, rich californians balk at water restrictions. we are not all equal when it comes to water. the ultrawealthy southern california enclave of champ cho santa fe uses five times more water per capita than the state average. starting in july the group lit have its water rationed for the first time in
