debater and quoting college professors who say that she was the best student they ever taught. that several new national polls. and, a new straw poll from moveon.org puts her as number one above progressive voters. along with former aides senator chuck schumer and chris hahn. welcome gentlemen, great to have both of you with us. chris, let me start with you. what do you make of that thesis? i read it and it s not completely wrong. hillary didn t not have a really hard time being bernie sanders, it might have appeared that way but she beat him easily. if joe biden runs a same race and becomes the democratic nominee and campaigns in wisconsin, michigan and
last night, an independent, had this warning to the democrats running for president. the reason trump is president in my opinion is because of his competition. hillary was just worse. y all were talking about trump. the fact of the matter he is an egotistical self-centered human being that happened to have a worse competitor. i want some good options. i want some good options and i haven t really seen them. i thought the rest of his comment is he is angry because he feels that people are stealing from him. he said that a u.s. senator there, sherrod brown, tell your buddies and you to stop stealing from me. to be honest, if what you really want is if you really kind of resent having to pay taxes and pay the taxes that support all the social programs that people in polls also say they want, it s true that sort of neither party is offering you anything. i think that man said that he was thinking about voting libertarian. but he said he was in a boot.
races on a razor s edge. but i agree with jonathan. it s too early. i think even though it s too early to predict whether or not he is going to win, it s not too early to identify what he needs to talk about and what he is going to have difficulty talking about. the economy and health care. and the health care keeps polling strongly with voters. you know from talking to voters in ohio. 2018. it had a lot to do with 18. it had a lot to do with 18. on the economy, some of the numbers are starting to look cloudy there. i think the economy, if you have rae session, that s going to be a big headwind for trump to struggle against. let me go to charlie sykes on this. do you think the democrats have learned their lesson? one of the lessons we learned last night, it didn t take much effort, people don t like being overlooked. there are people living in aaa, aa baseball towns, middle sized towns 100,000. they felt that hillary well, they re right. hillary didn t come there. it s as bas
it s going to be fascinating. and so much of the energy on stage is going to be sort of directed from the outside toward the middle. because i think these other candidates are all going to be trying to get their moment in the limelight. we were looking back at past debate moments. here is one you may remember. hillary clinton back in 2008, remember the driver s license question that tripped her up? remember who instigated that moment? it was chris dodd, one of the candidates who was kind of on the periphery, wasn t really registering, but he was on stage and had the chance, and in that moment he really made things uncomfortable for hillary clinton. that s one of the question advice for some of these other candidates on the outside here. do they pursue something like that. yeah, i thought that was sort of a doubling up on her an basketball, like two-manning her. i thought that was interesting. taken by the fact that biden who is technically still running, and he still wanted to win
that applause tells me something. you are a progressive. hillary didn t. why couldn t she win the state and you did. you won the state by eight points. i wanted to start with something else. i m not avoiding your question, but i was just at the county offices meeting with first responders and with the red cross and the mayor and county commissioners. this county three weeks ago tonight had a level four tornado. two things. i was here after the tornado the next day. it amazed me that very few people were injury and no one died in miami valley. that was because everybody from
