Mike Barnicle

Following Rep. John Boehner’s (R-OH) resignation as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives last week, Morning Joe’s Mike Barnicle talks with former Congressman and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) about the difficulty of leading in today’s Congress. “As leaders, how do you allow a small handful of rigid ideologues to put all of you in the backseat with a kamikaze pilot and take the whole thing down?,” asks Mike. Listen to Cantor’s response on the complicated nature of compromising with a legislative body that is continuously in campaign mode. On MSNBC.
