in the group, let me put it that way. you don t see joe biden as the new winston churchill? no, i think that would be a big upset if he was. that would be a big surprise to a lot of people. no, there is nobody that i see that should be able to win. as of today, by the way, we re inside 18 months until the election. there is a new poll from cnn that has joe biden maintaining his lead among democrats. former vice president is at 32% followed by bernie sanders at 18, kamala harris at 8, elizabeth warren at 7, and so on. on this network tonight at a town hall host bid chris hayes, senator warren was asked about taking on trump in a general election. what do you say to people that say, i like you on the substance but i m worried about your electability as nominee for the democratic party? i remember when people said barack obama couldn t be elected. i remember when people said donald trump couldn t be elected.

donald trump couldn t be elected president ought to be reflective about the fact that there are things we don t know about this political moment. on those polls specifically though think about the fact that a guy who had almost no name recognition just two weeks ago, suddenly over 50% of americans know he s running for president. one in five americans think it would be a good idea if he were. that means four in five bill, that means four in five we are two weeks in. four in five thinks he wouldn t. again, would howard schultz prefer a second trump term to an elizabeth warren or kamala harris presidency? would he rather have trump again? howard schultz will do everything he can to stop donald trump. except for not run for president. it looks like your own polling would re-elect trump. joy, we are two weeks in. i don t think you can look at the poll and say this is what it looks like in november 2020. you have to look at the poll and
stop putting wire in our community and making us look like a prison. there is physical demonstration being made of this fiction that donald trump is paying tax money. you written donald trump is hated at this point. the state of union left trump stoked and some of his staff are miserable. white house communications director bill shine has tol told what is going on? is anyone explaining to him that he s turning red states purple with this fiction? the problem is no one can get through to this president at this point. as i and others have reported, this is a family-run business. donald trump is running the west wing very much he did like the
company that has over 3 million people who worked there that he s qualified to be president. he does think he has an understanding of the global community, of the issues people are facing and has been able to act on them aggressively. every time he had a chance to make a good decision, he did. starbucks spends more money on health care for employees than on coffee. he was committed to making sure part-time employees had health care even through the tough times for the company. he knows that running a government is different from running a company. you ve got to make different decisions. the ones he made in a company were the right ones. if he were to run for president he would work on behalf of the american people making tough decisions to get the economy on the right track for all americans. let s talk about the economy for a second. one of the things howard schultz made clear is he thinks the idea of universal health care is somehow un-american though medicare is universal health c
