people, blacks, latinos, gays would not come out. and they said that a lot of experts, including democratic experts, were going back to the drawing board. they were counting on them not showing up. and they will never do that again. they will never make that mistake of thinking that those groups would just stay home and not raise their voices. now, we ve mentioned other people throughout the night on this award, you know, everyone has been president and others. what about bill clinton? nobody s brought his name up? well, bill clinton has been a winner for a while. but i think what he did for the president particularly in that dnc speech, which was just unbelievable, laying out the case, you know, saying that here are some of the attacks on this president. here s why they re completely
time person of the year. if it s got to be one person, chris christie for having the guts to not just look after new jersey, but, literally, hug a democratic president in the face of everything that he knew his party would reign down on his head. helped him, helped the president, helped new jersey. so despite the fact that you were going to give it to the ground candidate of the obl campaign, you cross parties and go to chris christie. it seemed like goodwill to all people. victoria, are you going to be as bipartisan as richard is? i m not. and i m going to roll it back. i think when president obl rolled out his contraception mandate, that was absolute genius. because what he did, he forsaw that republicans and the catholic church was going to come out against it. that, in turn, helped mobilize women and kick off that women s movement for the 2012 election. and, yet, he stepped back.
he s in a tight position because he would not make it statewide in texas. he doesn t have a jumping off point and he s term-limited as mayor. but he s going to have to bide his time and come back. i give him ten years. although, if you have to say, if you did have a democrat from texas, who could win texas statewide, what an incredible force they would be on the national level. if you could, in the future it s going to be george p. if we re going to see a latino in texas, it s going to be george p. bush. as someone who has been in the revvie awards since their inception last year i feel it s a cop out. i respected your argmentes. these are big things. big trends. but this is the rising star award. it s to one person. and you re a vet ere ran. so go ahead. elizabeth warren?
in your book. and i m looking forward here. i m looking in the krystal ball. i m looking for who going forward stood out this year that gives us where we re going in the future because the next presidential election, there will be no incumbent. we are going to see both parties have an open shadow. who gets that revvie? who s the person we ought to be watching. she already had a pretty large star. but i think hillary clinton has just continued to grow in stature. is the front runner. i mean, hands down, not only for the democratic nomination, but even republicans are admitting that they re pretty scared of her in 2016. and partly, it s because republicans use this device of saying the clintons were the good and reasonable democrats that we could work with. they actually elevated the clintons themselves. now, hillary is stepping down as secretary of state.
richard, who made the best political move omt year? can i be the simon cowell of this panel? i i i m tempted to say the woel obama campaign. but i don t want to be, like, time person of the year, it s you. if it had to be one person, chris christie. for having the guts to not just look after new jersey, but, literally, hug a democratic president in the face of everything that he knew his party would reign down on his head. help the president. help new jersey. so despite the fact you were techt tempted to give it to the ground game, you crossed parties? seeing goodwill to all people. all right, victoria, are you going to be as bipartisan as richard? i m not. and i m going to roll it back. i m going to go back to february because i think when president
