like name a world leader if you re running for president of the united states. briefly. but i thought your back and forth with bernie was really revealing. of course how funny a guy that s been in washington, d.c. for a quarter of a century or more is calling you a washington insider. that s funny. but, you know, whether it s donald trump saying mexico s going to pay for the wall or bernie saying that he s going to get 60 votes for free college or we have elizabeth warren it seems like every four years people make promises that just aren t realistic. how important is it that you ve been there and again it s not what you re for or against. it s what you know is possible. politics is the art of the possible. and you learn that at the shoulder of one of the greats in congressional history, tip o neil. joe, you know the whole thing. you served in the house. you know how it works. the senate is the cooling dish, the cooling saucer.
