and yet mitch mcconnell who has success -- if i have access to that information, mitch mcconnell does, too, endorsed trump today. >> because the republican party is engaged in a group decision that they are trying to change what the united states is. right? i mean, if you want to support the idea of america as a democracy, we are a multiracial plurristic society with lots of different kinds of people and economic freedom, and all of the other civil society things that support us being a big complex society, it's really hard to have for centuries a pluralistic democracy. there are very few of these in the history of the world. and if you don't want that, if you don't want everybody to have a say, for us to decide what we're going to do based on democratically held free and fair elections, then you have a party here. i mean when trump used violence and fraud and intimidation to try to throw out election results and stay in power anyway, the response of the republican party was not to be horrified. for the most part the response of the elected and leading republican party was to figure o

>> look, you know, ask mitch mcconnell what he thinks about donald trump-led candidates. mitch mcconnell would say he would be senate majority leader if it wasn't for donald trump's endorsed candidates. look, in any battleground state you have candidates who need to appeal to the middle swath of voters, the moderates. you can generate base energy, but in the end can he speak to that mom at the kitchen table looking over bills and thinking about how to pay for college? does extremism sell or do you need someone that has a track record of working for people and a track record of getting things done? look, ohio's a tough state for democrats. let's be clear. i'm not going to pull punches on that, but we like our chances more with an extremist candidate. >> charlie, you layer on to that the 20% of republican voters who cast a ballot for someone else. what does that tell you? >> well, this is very interesting. one caveat is that primary voters aren't the same as general election voters. that's a large portion of the republican electorate and it's been consistent across the coun

i know nikki haley said he would endorse and mitch mcconnell has endorsed donald trump. and we've been talking all week about voters looking for permission to not vote for donald trump. they just got a giant, giant, giant one in mike pence. >> a giant one. and any questions about what does mike pence do next, i think mike pence is good for him stepping out and saying he won't endorse, but to suggest the second donald trump administration would be different from the first is a bit of make believe. it would be exactly what the first administration was and the administration that mike pence himself enabled. but set that aside for a moment. i think what does mike pence do next? because i kind of see all of this as three lanes, if you will. you have the lindsey graham lane who said i got beat so i'm going to face plant in front of trump and elise stefanik and tim scott and even mitch mcconnell who said i'll support the nominee. and then you have those who say, like mike pence, i simply can't enforce him. is that the mike pence, jeb bush lane, where they stay out of politics.

you would think he would be a dream candidate in a trump-mitch mcconnell age. but that still is not good enough for him to govern. i think at this point i do miss the good old days, nicolle, where these fights were about policy or even ideology of one side or another. now it just shows that under gop control the house is ungovernable. they cannot govern. they can barely keep the lights on. the infighting and the nonsensical nature of it all is so great. and i think what that says to voters in all -- every single one of these 435 house elections in november is the choice now is between governing and not. you may not like all the policy that comes out of the governing. but not governing at all is the alternative at this point. >> right. at least your checks will continue to show up in the mail because the government will be open. i mean, kim, i have some of former speaker mccarthy's reaction. i'm not going to play it because the reason we're here is because speaker mccarthy dismantled the speakership. i mean, the reason this exists, the reason marjorie taylor gre
