personality, the country is moving forward economically so that takes an argument away and the theme of telling it like it is driving all his positions to compete nationally that doesn t tell a lot, either. bob, let s talk about some of what people see, or certainly inconsistencies that he will need to acknowledge and clear up. climate change? he was for the corporate world before he was against it. immigration reform. immigration, and he would talk in new jersey about having to cut the funding for women s health clinics, and he said it was because of the money. then he would go out on the road and say, well i cut planned parenthood funds. so he can take both sides of the same story depending on where he s talking. john let me bring you in this conversation. as we mentioned, this is the 14th candidate in the gop field. can he have kelly o donnell said something
kelly o donnell, also with me john piric, and bob engle, senior political columnist, and he s also author of chris christie the in star rise to power. a lot is being made that chris christie will speak off the cuff having this kind of town hall feel. we know that s his strategy the guy he wants to present to the country. reporter: he is going to try to talk about his story and introduce the country to the chris christie that livingston new jersey knew first. so expect some of the biography, expect some of the family nostalgia, expect some of the stories that are familiar to those of us who have traveled around the country with him, but maybe less familiar to a wider audience today. trying to define the influences that developed that big personality that has become the brash political figure that some people like and some people don t. so by using his skills to speak more ex temp raintemporaneously in a broad field. how do you stand out? part of it is making the best of th
facts that it gives so long for the republicans to be building and looking at her record. building a case against her and that s a lot of why we see the constant conversation of why we bring up benghazi which is to try to keep a negative frame around her moving forward. there are democrats weighing in on a possible hillary run. let me play for you. i m behind hillary if she run, and i think she will, but that s up to her. if she run, i m in. she would be one of the best prepared people and she will win, i believe, if she runs. she ll be one of the best-prepared people to enter the price when a long time. if you take a rook at someone taking a beating in the poll. here s hillary clinton, she s no longer there and typically john, being out of office can be a challenge because people forget you or you re not in that position to have the profile, but in this climate, is this a plus for her? i think not being attached to
again, you have to wonder if her timing wasn t just about perfect. no. it definitely makes sense that she would want to take a little bit of time and regroup. she s been in the public eye for so long and one of the most interesting things that will be a game changer is just this morning, the dn, kr, tc, they r bringing on amy daisy who has worked to elect so many female candidates. the dnc whose main mission is to lkt a democratic president is gearing up and ready to go. debbie wasserman schultz. john, there is always some intrigue. senator kay hagan s endorse am of clinton will make it awkward when vice president biden visits north carolina and some of the female democratic senators
democrats in the senate. they accidentally spilled the beans while expressing her enthusiasm for the letter at an event in new york. the letter encourages hillary clinton to run for president in 2016 even though some of the signers may have presidential aspirations of their own. let me bring in democratic strategist and campaign director for the center of american progress action. amelie tisch, and republican strategist john thierry is with us this morning. good morning. we don t have the exact contents of the letter or how it was delivered, but it does lead to the inevitability question which didn t work out well for hillary clinton the last time. is this whole aura a good thing or a bad thing? there are negatives and positives to it. i think generally people think if there is inevitability to it it is clearer. there are deaf fitly some people that want to get in. the negatives to it are the
