we have a smarter round table here than they are. white house correspondent for the wall street journal and fran ses cuchambers. david, it reminds me of the best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter. i don t know how much thought those people put into it. all politics is relative. you don t get to make a choice in a vacuum. you compare between candidates. if you asked what they thought about hillary clinton or bernie sanders maybe they would be lukewarm about those choices. maybe waiting for barack obama from 2008 in iowa. the standard is pretty high for an iowa democrat to be excited. it doesn t tell you much to add to the decision making tree. if people said give me joe that might have been pretty extraordinary. i wouldn t have counted on that

an iowa democrat to be excited. it doesn t tell you much to add to the decision making tree. if people said give me joe that might have been pretty extraordinary. i wouldn t have counted on that happening. you can ask the republicans on the same side how many are excited about jeb bush? that clashes with what we are talking about tonight. i think about roosevelt, truman, kennedy, johnson, nixon. and then clinton and obama it is a high average of people. pretty impressive. people when they think of president do they think ben carson? really? really fiorina? do they think they are presidential material? and then look at the polls. they don t look picky to me. you said that they are not jumping up and down for joy about joe biden. i have been in iowa and on the campaign trail this time and i am seeing something completely different. i have been surprised how
decision-making tree in your mind as you watched this happen. if there even was one. oh, yeah. i saw it go down. my first reaction is i wanted to help. but i was thinking, i was on company hours, i got the company track, but i thought they would be okay with me helping. as i arrived i started thinking about the dangers. the broken glass, fire, explosions. the only thing i was really worried about was explosions happening. and that would have made it a lot more difficult. but once i arrived, i just saw smoke. hadn t seen any explosions. i did not see where the plane actually was. i don t know i guess it hit on the top of the building or somewhere not in my view from where i was in that part of the building. and just i disregarded anything else. it seemed like it wasn t a total, you know, craziness. i felt okay going up there. i wasn t concerned at that point of trying to help those people.
