you were fooled by donald trump, and i m here to deliver in a way that donald trump couldn t deliver. it s not clear that that actually works and a lot of data actually shows that it won t work, essentially more the desperate the voters get, the more they might cling to donald trump. this is the biden challenge in the primary. doesn t want to the mention his opponents. his case is hillary clinton didn t come here and say she understands you. hillary clinton didn t understand your pain to borrow a bill clinton term. she doesn t understand what it s like. she didn t make her case. won t say that directly but that s his point. the other democrats say, no, that s not it. they don t want someone who can relate to them. they want big, bold, new, different. that s the question. when you look at obama and trump, they are both very charismatic individuals who delivered a personal appeal to people and clinton didn t have that and they are saying i m really different than what you re used to,
the way amy poehler did. she is funny. the content was funny. it was a great script. she executed it well. but here s what is the genius always to saturday night live is that she distilled the essence of something. and the essence that they got here is people will wonder is this going to be the third bill clinton term or the third clinton term. and they were able to encapsulate that. and there s bill lurking in the background. i think one of the questions, one of the things that hillary clinton will have to do because you know we talked about earlier, do you distance herself from obama? and the answer is not too much and not too fast at your own risk. but she can embrace the bill clinton presidency. in a sense she did that during her 08 run, but do it in a way that ends up being productive. there s also a risk there because you do have this anti-wall street populist wave coming. yes. bill clinton is the person who repealed glass-steagall. martin o malley has already
campaign off message saying the clinton foundation has been the most transparent ever when we have secret hillary clinton state department emails we haven t accessed. you make a good point, julie. he is still doing interview. by the way a lot of reason people support hillary clinton they would love a third bill clinton term. a lot of democrats. that is why they sported her eight years ago. not just because of that but a lot of people felt that way. he is a huge asset to her. he needs a little discipline. the problem with bill clinton has been he sometimes lacked discipline at 60 something years old. i understand from your perspective when your wife is attacked that is harder. of course he gets mad. you think he is just saying this take the back seat. let my wife lead to run on the strong woman position but in background he takes money from foreign governments that abuse women? two for the price of one. hey. arthur doesn t want to
i wondered that if the case of bill clinton in 1994. if you looked at the body language for obama and bill clinton in 94. they were similar. they were almost in a kind of shock. it is going to take obama weeks or months to adjust to the new reality. the new reality is he doesn t run the federal government anymore. he really doesn t. he s president. he s still relevant in the bill clinton term. but now, his legislative presidency, the big legislative presidency is over, it s dead. uma: in upcoming 60 minute interview set to air tomorrow judging by the preview it seems that president continues to blame messaging that surrounded the belief in the healthcare initiative and the economic stimulus plan that led to the shellacking democrats endured on election day. what do you think about his postmortem? i love history. i do political science and i love history and i try to
