effort to appeal to them after this really, really bad gaffe that she did in the beginning of the campaign. looking at the democratic field, incredibly diverse both politically and ethnically. what do the republicans, who do the republicans fear most? joe biden? i think the republicans will fear the candidate most, i don t want to predict who that is, but it s the one who will bring out the base that can also attract the middle and some republicans who just can t vote for donald trump. i raise elizabeth warren in this regard because her from file, her popularity profile is similar to that in donald trump in that she electrifies the base, the progressive base. they like her a lot in the same way that donald trump is well liked by the republicans, but she doesn t her polling numbers for the middle aren t so good and she s probably not going to attract as many republicans. so you want someone who can bring out the base of the party and attract the independents and
reflects donald trump s popularity profile. he is popular with his republican base, but he hasn t been able to persuade or reach out to anyone in the middle. elizabeth warren has a similar popularity profile, not comparing the two, but she is very popular among her progressive base but has doesn t reach out the the middle. one thing about amy klobuchar has an advantage over most of the candidates that i ve seen, and i m not assessed them all, i just know watching her personally is she is really terrific at retail politics. and that s going to make a difference in places like iowa. retail politics. you see elizabeth warren, who is there and there are a lot of o people saying she is key with that, she has a populist message, launched her campaign yesterday. here is a look back and she spoke today. what donald trump does everyday, everyday, there is a racist tweet, a hateful tweet, something really dark and ugly, but here is how i see it.
free advice, someone who has the same popularity profile as donald trump. that is widely popular with the base but not anybody else and can t gain anybody from, you know, from the other party or their side. what the democrats seems to need is someone to hold their base and i believe amy klobuchar to do that and attract the center and some republicans who just won t vote for donald trump. i think she s very good at retail politics. the one-on-one that is necessary in the early primary states, particularly iowa. contrast that with california where it will be very difficult for retail politics to win. you have to have a lot of money to get on television. so we ll see. i think she s a formidable candidate, could be. and probably not quite first tier yet but has a chance to break out. that, indeed, and danielle talk about cory booker. do you consider him to it be first tier after a week being out there on the campaign trail? yeah.
