DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): Campaigns deal in fantasy and governing is reality. And it was one of the things that Nikki Haley talked about yesterday, especially on abortion rights, right? She said, "Well that's fine, like, you could say that you're going to end all abortions and they'll never happen again," but she's just being realistic about how many votes are there in the Senate.

So, part of the thing is I don't know any Republican who has run for president in my lifetime who hasn't said they're going to abolish the Department of Education. And if that were true, then that would've happened. It's just, it's a difficult thing to do. It's a great goal. Maybe that can be something that happens.
