she has shown she s got at the defensive game. in terms of breaking new ground and going forward that s the challenge. her lead in the primary looks large enough that it s entirely possible she can keep playing a defensive game until february and be okay. even if she becomes the nominee she faces a challenge of, you know, how does she present herself? how does she shape it on her terms. the likability factor and stuff. my 11-year-old who is my sometimes barometer for the stuff said wait now she likes katy perry and chipolte. there s instability factor kind of the natural on the fly do people like you. it is important in campaigns. even in the evolution of the speech she began very strong and likable calm demeanor but by the end of the speech there was more of an insistence, you know, in her tone. her finding the right pace the right mood to present herself on her terms the way she wants to continues to be a challenge. i want to talk about, then,
speaking of social security, you have said in the past it is a ponzi scheme. i like to take a look at the best moments in previous debates, learn from my colleagues, see how they went and handled it and i think that is just a useful experience. and a lot of that stuff is changed the last second or even during the debate. the ebb and flow you can never quite predict and that is what makes it exciting. the goal is to help make the voter out there a little smarter on where these candidates stand. the preparations should include almost memorization of big moments. you have said there are good earmarks and bad earmarks. so prepare but don t become hostage to your preparations. there is a sizable portion of doubt out there about hillary clinton s likability factor.
lisa, there was another key moment, they had over 20 debates between each other back in 2007-2008. watch this one and we ll react on the other side. what can you say to the voters of new hampshire on this stage tonight who see your resume and like it, but are hesitating on the likability issue, where they seem to like barack obama more. well, that hurts my feelings. i don t think i m that bad. you re likable enough, hillary. no doubt. thank you. there s a couple ways to break that down. it s still brutal to watch. on one hand i think it kind of showed, to be fair to hillary clinton, the arrogance of then-senator obama by saying you re likable enough actually helped hillary clinton in that moment. but how did she do? because she s going to get that same question here almost eight years later. people don t like you. well, ed, you re absolutely right. and this underscores a big problem that hillary clinton has had for quite some time now and it s the likability factor. you s
just asking what he would do. and then they take that out of context and try to turn it into something else. it s ridiculous. when you take it out of context and you see it as insensitive, you really look at the entire story and see and read really what he said. it is a different story. not a lot of people, obviously, today, take the time to do. is that being said, dr. carson ranked over 17% of the volt. i will point out that he s still doing very well as far as the likability factor is huge for dr. carson. most of this was done along with recent focus groups.
you re not saying this e-mail thing is a good thing for her? oh, no, no, i m saying we re going to take it off the table because the justice department said it s not off the table. hold on. can i just say something here? the deletion of the e-mail was appropriate. there s five months of off the table. david, did you hear today that there s five months secondly, once that s off the table, hillary clinton has been out there laying out concrete plans to move the country forward, but that s been blocked to a certain extent by the coverage of the e-mail. three, we re going to see a democratic debate and we re going to see hillary clinton testify on capitol hill and those are going to be game changers because people are going to see on that stage a contrast and they re going to see somebody they want to see as president. mercedes, go ahead. i think first of all, i do believe for the clinton campaign, the biden factor is important. because of the fact that there is a
