second choice, warren crushes biden 42 to 30. she kills when it comes to that. what does that tell you? is this concerning for joe biden? i think it s concerning for all of the candidates who are not elizabeth warren, right? but i also know that i think in that same poll, only 20% of people have their mind made up. so it s one poll. it s a poll that demonstrates that you have to have a big presence on the ground in iowa. i think you re seeing a lot of these candidates really amp up their commitment to iowa. so we ll see what happens. i just i don t think you can say it s all over, because it s just too far out. but i do think that for those candidates who are getting small numbers, i know we re going to talk about the dnc thresholds in these early states. it is a moment to have yourself really do a gut check. is this where i should be spending my personal time? what do you say, jess? 42 to 30? i totally agree, these are
that we re facing now and as he s thinking about access to health care. he s somebody who will always say what he thinks and believes. that s exactly what he did last night. i don t think any voter what s question about joe biden s authenticity. i think people know him, know who he is, know his values. they know when he s facing a tough decision, tackling a tough personal decision, he s going to speak candidly about how he s thinking about it. let s dive a little deeper, brendan buck with a former top aide to paul ryan. thank you both for joining me. jess, first, to you, this was a rough week for starters for joe biden, in large part because of this major course reversal. do you think that his evolving, let s call it, views on the hyde amendment is what he really believes? or is it politically expedient in a field that is tacking much
biggest achievements, i think that s a debate they ll welcome. jess macintosh, thank you very much for the great discussion. deal reached. crisis averted. president trump s tactics lead to a compromise between the u.s. and mexico. so what s in it for the united states? we will be live from the white house, next. -and we welcome back gary, who s already won three cars, two motorcycles, a boat, and an r.v. i would not want to pay that insurance bill. [ ding ] -oh, i have progressive, so i just bundled everything with my home insurance. saved me a ton of money. -love you, gary! -you don t have to buzz in. it s not a question, gary. on march 1, 1810 [ ding ] -frédéric chopin. -collapsing in 226 [ ding ] -the colossus of rhodes. -[ sighs ] louise dustmann [ ding ] -brahms lullaby, or wiegenlied. -when will it end?

he s out there much less than the rest of the candidates. you get the sense that he s almost playing not to lose rather than to win. and in a field with 23 candidates, i don t think you can do that. you need to provide somebody with a rationale for why you should be president. he s playing it very safe, and i think that s going to end up antagonizing a lot of the base. the points that jess is making, you have to show the rationale for your policies and that you have the energy for it. joe biden is an emergennergetic person, but he hasn t shown that on the campaign. jess, i want to switch gears a little bit to another branch of government. the supreme court, justice ruth bader ginsburg has warned that the court may be sharply divided over some of its big remaining cases in the coming weeks. do you think this is raising an alarm with voters on both sides going into 2020? oh, for sure. and i think for a long time the
republicans, frankly, ate democrats lunch when it came to the courts. they did a very good job of explaining to their voting base why the courts matter so much for their ideology to be imposed on the country. democrats didn t pay a ton of attention to the courts. we certainly are now. but now, as justice bader gainsberg pointed out, we re in a position where the court is dominated by an extreme minority of a minority. they re way out of step with the rest of the country when it comes to abortion, when it comes to gun rights, when it comes to issues of equality and immigration. we re in a really dangerous territory right now where we re about to have laws created and codified by people who simply don t represent the country at all anymore. brendan, how much do you think that will play into the debates on the campaign trail? i think jess is right, this has always been something that animated republicans a lot and democrats have been playing catch-up for a long time. the president wo
