not for calling mexicans crossing the border rapists. not for calling on russia to interfere in the 2016 election. not for calling his political opponent to be locked up. not for denigrating a gold star family or hocking his families for campaigning. and he hasn t faced any political koconsequences since office. not for undermining american intelligence or revealing classified intelligence to russians in the oval office, not for separating families and traumatizing children. not for profiting off the presidency. not for filling his cabinet with people who abuse taxpayer money. not for lying about dumb things like crowd sizes or big things like obama wiretapping him. not for anything, until now. now for asking a foreign power to investigate a 2020 political
very much, peter doocy. let s bring in the panel now, matt morris, a former trump director for new hampshire, and governor for chris christie, and the ceo of squared communications and former senior adviser to maria cantwell. matt, let me start with you. first of all, that exchange was beyond awkward, but peter doocy points out that the vice president does not take lightly to certain questions but he does not meet tough questions with a graceful hand. no, he doesn t. joe biden is a little bit rusty at this political game, and he has some thin skin. he is also reading the polls. he is seeing the fact that his crowd sizes continue to dwindle compared to his rival spread he sees that his liberal rivals are raising more money than him. moments i have been on presidential campaigns before. i live in new hampshire. you see presidential campaigns every four years come through here.
african-american vote and very far ahead in south carolina. so when i say it s the experiment, this is my question. what happens if biden takes a bath in iowa and new hampshire? what happens if he doesn t just lose? what happens if he loses badly? does that firewall in south carolina hold? do we see something we haven t seen before? a candidate who s basically able to jump start it in south carolina? or does it go away? and the other thing is what if somebody else, buttigieg, warren, sanders, anybody, wins iowa and new hampshire? that s been an unbeatable combination. four for four candidates who have done that on the democratic side. does that work this time with biden still leading in south carolina at this point? so would you be looking at the polls? or would you be looking at crowd size as an indicator of enthusiasm? we were talking about enthusiasm during the break. donald trump had so much enthusiasm in 2016. and maybe that wasn t represented in the polls but it was certainly r
romney where i was absolutely positive that pennsylvania was going to be in play with such a great rally. and absolutely fell flat. so crowd sizes, i don t look at. polling, i do. we were talking in the break about what makes one of these campaigns really great. and there s this new york times profile on kamala harris s campaign from staffers about how the candidate was a little too twitter driven. focused on the room and by playing to the room, she wasn t playing to the folks at home. it skews left. it s much more educated and affluent. it s not representative of the electorate broadly. you know who s not playing to twitter? joe biden. remember we had early on in his campaign, we had people in his campaign saying, listen, he won t listen to us. he just runs his mouth. says whatever he wants and look where he is now and look where she is now. there s a lesson in that. let s talk about elizabeth warren. she s taken a bit of a nose dive in the polls and people are attributing it to her
up on? i saw the same thing i saw with barack obama. large crowd sizes, people dedicated to a mission. but barack obama, it was hope and change. for donald trump, it s that the country is messed up right now, and a lot of corruption going on, that the rich, powerful, the elite play by different rules and we want to send someone with a bulldozer does tear it down. two different missions about the same energy but haven t seen them from any other candidate, from the republican side, from the democrat side right now. if you combine all the crowds together, it wouldn t equal a donald trump rally. ed: in michael dubke the three words. drain the swamp. it s what he did over and over. right now he s the guy to do it. ed: i hate to do this. what happened to your dallas cowboys? fire jerry. ed: next, swing state voters have a clear message on
