annexing that territory. we can look at the fact that they re trying to destablize the ukraine because putin has his eyes on that country. but look, you know, i do believe that these exchanges between obama and romney back in 2012 are really a historical footnote at this point. romney is no longer a candidate. obama is a lame duck but it is very much relevant for hillary clinton. because that back then bill: that is interesting do you remember, quickly, the circumstances by which he was going to deliver that comment in that debate? no, you re talking about which comment? bill: how did you arrive, hey, listen he will say al qaeda and we re going to say putin? well, look, this had been an issue going back much earlier in 2012 when the governor first mentioned the fact that russia was our number one geopolitical
polls at this point. we re now in more intense phase. these early states are relatively small states the ground presence matters. see many candidates like jeb bush and marco rubio are focused building strong organizations and obtaining endorsements of local officials because they bring their organizations and networks to bear. you know, we don t have a national primary, bill. people don t get on their cell phone and text their favorite candidate over their cell phone. bill: you re right. it s a state by state battle. bill: ground game matters. it matters. bill: thank you, eric. we ll talk again, out of boston, massachusetts today. thank you, bill. bill: nice to have you back. patti ann. patti ann: some republican candidates are on the cusp of being cut from upcoming debate. why some hopefuls may not make the prime time event and how it could affect their candidacy. bill: what led to very unsportsmanlike behavior by some of the parents of the players.
sitting here this morning we re reporting u.s. drone is struck down or u.s. aircraft shot down. russian response, a mistake. fog of war. we told you we were going to be there. we re sorry but this is accident. really? bill: look at that map, put it up there one more time, rob. as of yesterday where the russian strikes took place, that is not areas where isis exists. correct. bill: there was a news flash moments ago based on, again, syrian television now, that there were airstrikes in raqqa province. we know in that province isis exists. right. bill: let s see whether or not that can be confirmed by the pentagon. the pentagon is going to tell you that, well, i don t know what the pentagon is going to say at this point because they have been in a fetal dog position for last couple weeks and yesterday s reaction secretary of state, white house press spokesman what this dough
we don t know necessarily what ts going on. to marjories point, the culture at large is investing $4 billion a day ,o keep us all confused. couple that with politicians of both parties directly mislead, what i mean by misleading very simple. they promise x. they deliver y. go back and tell the voter they delivered x. doesn t matter what which party you re talking about. that is what you re getting from washington, d.c. there is reason why bernie sanders, donald trump, carly fiorina are the names people are talking about. it is because they don t have anything to do with the names we are associating with traditional politics like hillary and bush. patti ann: yeah. the politicians really refined their spin machines to the point where it us very difficult for the average person at home to figure out where the truth lies. but o reilly, marjorie, says social media, allows people to pretty much only expose themself to views they already agree. both sides become entrenched in
francis s point we need to be okay hearing something different and compassionate why they come with that perspective. the echo chamber. kevin, the back to o reilly s initial premise about biden. we ll look at the latest poll showing biden ahead of any republicans would actually beat them. o reilly said, wait a minute. i thought they were all against the status quo. people feel heading in the wrong direction, why would they vote for the vice president? you could say first of all the vice president doesn t have a lot of power. sure. patti ann: but beyond that point, what do you say to the biden phenomenon? biden is the guy everybody wants to have a beer with but nobody in the last seven years is really soon him do much of anything except, you know be at some public event and so forth. my bigger issue with this right now, is that polls at this stage of game mean absolutely zero. marjorie knows this anybody worked on campaigns this far out, these are meaningless. in many ways biden r
