democrats underscore today. is this a sham? i think it s i think it s a sad day because we made a commitment to the families. the families came in with tears in their eyes literally. they asked they said find out more information about what did happen and then they asked us to do one other thing and that is try to make sure you figure out how this does not happen again. i think we failed at all three. as democrats tried to keep the focus on the politics, gowdy was trying to return the conversation to benghazi and away from the campaign trail ahead of clinton s testimony later this week. poppy? thank you very much. let s talk about this with our political commentators and democratic strategist. tara, let me begin with you. you heard trey gowdy saying to
serfaty. here s this 74-year-old candidate. the oldest of the candidates on the democratic side, and yet he s resonating so well with young voters. reporter: he absolutely is, poppy. if you talk to a lot of the young people that fill up his campaign events, they talk about what is perceived as his authenticity a lot. and they reference that they feel he s not the typical politician standing at the podium, blow-dried poll tested politician. they feel that even though he has been a part of washington for some time, he certainly will do things as he sees fit. one of his biggest supply lines when he touts that he does not have a super pac. certainly his style is very unique. it has let bernie be bernie. this is what s attracting people. i should note there s a trend online going on right now, it s called babies for bernie where
class. they control washington. and why do they chain all their pens to the desk? who s trying to steal a pen from a bank? makes no sense. that s why you got to break up the banks into little pieces and then flush the pieces down the toilet so you can never put the banks back together. then you make the bankers pay for college for everyone and america s fixed. it was truly amazing. it was the one and only comedian larry david spoofing democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders during a surprise appearance last night on saturday night live. sanders apparently told abc news he loved the snl spoof. his sort of style as some put it comparing it to his more polished rivals. let s talk about it with sunlen
one is cocaine-related cardiac event. an intercranial bleed or stroke. the most common, cocaine addicts over a period of time will add in other things, typically opiates. these days, when somebody has a near-death experience or dies, it s pills. let s talk about having a near-death experience. that s clearly what he had. he was in a coma. and the road to recovery. mentally, what does that do to someone when they are so close to losing everything? near-deth experience, they will either completely ignore it and move on and continue using, or they will be someone very workable. when an addict really believes they are going to die many of them just go on. my colleague had nine different near-death experiences, kept right on using. people do that. i know when somebody walks in the door, doctor, i nearly died
that she cease run against. it s certainly a risk for bernie sanders and i think even those who are preparing him or closest to him, they have been talking to reporters in the spin room already. to a certain extent they have their hands up in the air, you know what, we have done our best as far as what little preparation the senator wants to do. and i think all bets are off as far as what we might see. and there s an aspect of it, let bernie be bernie. alex, let s talk about the three wild cards on stage. they re ones that can cause more trouble. o malley, webb and che firefighter, what can you tell me? they have literally nothing to lose. they have literally nothing in the polls here and they need something to be taken off of life support and get to relevance, let alone a path to victory. which is probably out of the question here.
