running for office since 1973 and says he s never run a negative ad. it s worked for him. he went from a really small state to now leading solidly in new hampshire. so no chance that he abandoned that strategy. i view bernie like the beatles when they were coming to america. they had a huge fan base, but a lot of americans hadn t seen them yet. so they came over here and played i want to hold your hand and people loved it. people are antagonistic to someone who is a self subscribed social list. the one negative are those who say i could never vote for someone who is a slfr described social list and i ll say here is the way he describes the term. they don t want to hear that. he has explain to go do if he wants to go more mainstream. hillary should not attack bernie at all. but that s a valued lid point. why can t she point it out? because she needs to establish her connection with herself, her issue and her
to conflate the two. two issues, benghazi issue, because of the kevin mccarthy situation has lost a lot of its steam, at least among nonpart accidents. these are two differently dink things. michael smerconish, donald trump, hovering over this debate tonight though he s not here in las vegas, he does have a big hotel here in las vegas. he tweeted this, he said at the request of many, though i expect it to be a very boring two hours, i will be covering the democratic debate live on twitter to which hillary clinton tweeted, glad you ll be watching. it s going to be huge! am i the only one willing to admit i m thrilled he s tweeting about this? it adds a new dynamic to it. he is the elephant in the room. the question for me is whether anderson cooper will be following the twitter feed of donald trump and feel comfortable in tossing in a question that is prompted by the donald. he won t be the elephant, he ll be a questioner. true. could be. donald trump has a presence here, ev
this article that ryan liza just published, how to beat hillary clinton, he got his hands for the first time on that memo that barack obama staffers put together in 2007, how to beat hillary clinton and the most vulnerable part of her was her credit ability credibility, her krakcharacter. and that could be a vulnerability she still has. it s a totally different race. 08, i thought it was well within the bounds. there was a lot of shots back and forth between hillary and barack obama and both emerged stronger. so i don t think we ll have attacks tonight. certainly not going to have attacks on character at least if these candidates are smart. today s washington post poll, hillary s favorable is 79% among democrats. that s higher than canned beer. for democrats, like chardonnay. what does martin o malley have to lose, lincoln chafee,
jim webb ? they could go after here. this is a city built on the question what have i got to lose and found out a lot. martin o malley is a terrific governor and a terrific sense of humor. show your personality, show your that s a ever pretty risky still to use humor because it takes a lot of chutzpah as we say in the catholic church. but he has a good sense of lum humor and that s a better way to create buzz. i think he hasn t shied away from being critical of secretary clinton and he has nothing to show for it. so if i m martin owe mal malley lincoln chafee, i m saying maybe that s not the mode to get to the top of the pack. bernie sanders is not a shy guy. he is not, but he has been
clinton is doing a lot better than in the polls than donald trump is with with democratic voters. donald trump is way ahead in the republican no, she s way ahead. she s doing far better on the democratic polls than donald trump is in the republican polls. in a head to head match-up? no, if you look at how hillary clinton is doing in the polls of democratic voter versus how donald trump is doing, you know, they re both the frontrunners, but she has a far bigger lead. her lead is in the double digits. she has many more democrats supporting her than donald trump has supporting him. that s fair enough. should there be more debates? there will be six. should there be more? well, we re excited to do this one. if the did cnc adds more, she l happy to do them. does she want more debates? she likes to debate. she did over 20 of them in 2008. so she s good at it and she likes it.
