be the i mean, just in terms of the highest in the polls in the centrist lane. right. i think that i don t see him as being disruptive to this race perhaps as some people do, because it s not like he comes in and gets coronated, right. he would have to be competing with these other people. pete buttigieg is really on the rise and is doing really well in iowa, for example. and so i think the idea that he is going to somehow come in, presumably he would be attacking warren, right, and what does that who does that help? you know, if he s trying to take, you know, trying to take out warren, what he is basically doing, let s assume he even he garners some of those votes. now what he is doing is dividing that moderate vote even more, right? so that actually helps warren. and furthermore, just because you re the person making the attacks doesn t mean that you re the person who even assuming the attacks are successful,
michael bloomberg, the guy is worth roughly $50 billion according to forbes. that may be a conservative estimate. on what level is a michael bloomberg relatable? it s obvious. it s competence. people in this country want a competent president who can get things done for the american people. he served first as a republican, then as an independent. as mayor of the city, he got the city moving forward, particularly after 9/11. i think people trust that. people are very concerned that on the one hand you have elizabeth warren that wants to potentially bankrupt the country with the medicare for all plan. you have another poll being joe biden, occupying the centrist lane. i think a lot of people are concerned that joe biden does not have the wherewithal at this point in his career to be the nominee, let alone beat trump. have you conducted any polling on mayor bloomberg s behalf to test the waters presidentially? i have not. do you know if they ve done polling
behind joe biden in this race. but pete buttigieg is trying more and more i think to try to occupy this centrist lane in the democratic party where joe biden, which joe biden has had almost to himself this whole time. but with voter concerns about biden s age, his ability to fight donald trump toe-to-toe it could be something that does benefit a much, much younger pete buttigieg in the future. bill: nice to see you. good job in washington, d.c. sandra: senator elizabeth warren catching a lot of heat from 2020 opponents over her $52 trillion price tag for her medicare for all plan. so can she really sell that to the american people? it is mondays with maria and she ll be here later this hour. plus an antifa activist gets up to six years behind bars for
okay, welcome back, today all eyes on iowa. the field is now getting smaller, beto o rourke officially dropping out of the race for the white house saying last night that he could not raise enough money to stay competitive, how does his announcement change the dynamic ifs r the others? i think it still remains to be seen how impactful this will be for other campaigns. he was polling pretty low, but he does find himself in that moderate more centrist lane. so you could have a amy klobuchar or pete buttigieg try to coop up some of those
about hope, change, bringing people together, also focusing on beating donald trump in 2020. you re going to be surprised to hear me say this but i still think with 93 days it s still early. but with the recent exit of beto o rourke, i think a lot of those voters are up for grabs now. you ll see mayor pete s campaign make a huge effort to garner their support. bryan, let me ask you about this. the college poll, there s a question that s pretty interesting. of the people who have caucused before in iowa, they were asked if they only caucused with democrats or with democrats and republicans or republicans only. three out of ten choose mayor buttigieg as their first choice have caucused with riepublicans in the past. does that make a bigger threat to the president? if he gets to the general, victor. you re seeing two lanes open up in the primary. you re seeing the left-wing lane that s now being headed by elizabeth warren fairly convincingly. she s really pushed bernie
