now they face the awful conundrum, we don t want her to beat us. but we can t beat her with a right wing guy so we re screwed. and they hate that. but now they re thinking the only way to beat her is to run a guy like christie, and they don t want to beat her with a guy who can beat her. they want to beat her with a guy who can t beat, which is nonsense, that s the problem. i think it is, also, they would like to raise money off the specter of hillary. i think that s part of part of that s what s going on. i think president obama still scares them, but after all, he can t run again. washington s tied up and in gridlock. the president, it s a little hard to get people as worked up and as scared, perhaps, as they were a few years ago, but hillary scares the heck out of them, so they want to raise her profile at a time that hillary really doesn t want to do so. yes. they re trying to draw her in and draw her down. and the clintons have a great sense of timing. they know this is a
hillary is to run a moderate, like christie, and they re darned determined not to do that. now they face the awful conundrum, we don t want her to beat us. but we can t beat her with a right wing guy so we re screwed. and they hate that. but now they re thinking the only way to beat her is to run a guy like christie, and they don t want to beat her with a guy who can beat her. they want to beat her with a guy who can t beat, which is nonsense, that s the problem. i think it is, also, they would like to raise money off the specter of hillary. i think that s part of part of that s what s going on. i think president obama still scares them, but after all, he can t run again. washington s tied up and in gridlock. the president, it s a little hard to get people as worked up and as scared, perhaps, as they were a few years ago, but hillary scares the heck out of them, so they want to raise her profile at a time that hillary really doesn t want to do so. yes. they re trying to draw he
it was not a spontaneous demonstration. is that what you re saying? please proceed, governor. i want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in benghazi an act of terror. get the transcript. he did in fact, sir. let me call it an act of terror. he did call it an act of terror. wow. we re back. that was president obama and mitt romney colliding in an exchange over benghazi in the october 16th second presidential debate. the washington post dean of political reporters is out with his new book about that campaign. called collision 2012, obama versus romney and the future of elections in america. the pendulum is swinging in the republican party now. as the party moves hard right, will they really try another establishment time like romney or dole or mccain or christie or jeb bush? or will the party go for one of its tea party heroes like rand
that s the point. who s the serious canned? santorum is not getting elected to anything ever again as long as he lives. certainly not in pennsylvania. newt gingrich is not going to get elected ever again. they don t count. bush may count. if hillary doesn t run, i think he s a player. there are three top candidates i think. bob mcdonnell of virginia, chris christie of new jersey, and jeb bush. i think they re all governors and fine choices. put your hillary head on for a minute. we do focus on this show more than anything else. we know this. this is your wheel house. in hillary clinton s head and she s been through one loss and a couple wins with her husband. she did well in new york politics. we ll talk about it later in the show. had a great run as secretary of state. what s she thinking about? is she afraid of the unknown or the known established candidate like bush or is she less afraid of him than a guy like christie
is she afraid of the unknown or the known established candidate like bush or is she less afraid of him than a guy like christie who might grab the reagan democrats? my bet is right now she is not worrying about who is going to be the republican nominee. she still has to get into her own head whether or not she s going to run. a good friend of hers told me just a couple weeks ago she d like to be president but she doesn t want to run to be president because it s really going through hell. one of the things you want to think about whether you run against this guy or that guy. i think there is so much for the republican party to work out. they have so many issues. the one candidate she d be most afraid of i think would be a chris christie. he would go after the middle class, the blue collar guys, and also do well in the northeast. i ll tell you one thing. in that election, i m just guessing here.
