taken away from president obama. progressive vote continues to be not taken away from president split among nine, ten other trump. taken away from president obama. people and biden is sitting president obama was not happy there as the only moderate in the field. it shows just it just shows that this happened because it was embarrassing to him, right? it was very embarrassing to him. where the democratic party has gone over the past four to eight and he wanted russia to be out years. yeah. of the what was called the there s no doubt about that. i ll say a couple things real quick. one of which is that the thing g8. and that was his determination. that i think the monmouth he was outsmarted by putin. poll is obviously an outlier and he was outsmarted. president putin outsmarted i agree with steve and adrienne president obama. is how does that work? does it foretell the future or misleading statement that not, but it s a real problem for the biden campaign in this respect. they
weakness is the fact that a lot of democrats wonder if she could actually beat donald trump because of left-wing agenda? yeah, i think and i think it s a fair concern in polls where over 40% say joe biden now is the most electable, the number for her is, i think, somewhere in mid to high-single digits, so i think with her the fervent ideological message is helpful in the primaries but i have trouble seeing when it comes down to the election in the 5 or 6 key swing states whether swing voters will respond to her message absent a severe economic downturn. paul: here is the other issue that i see in political tactual terms, she and bernie sanders are now splitting the left-wing progressive vote, bernie has his fervent partisans even if he s not doing as well in the polls as as he did 4 years ago but
flip side of biden where her weakness is the fact that a lot of democrats wonder if she could actually beat donald trump because of left-wing agenda? yeah, i think and i think it s a fair concern in polls where over 40% say joe biden now is the most electable, the number for her is, i think, somewhere in mid to high-single digits, so i think with her the fervent ideological message is helpful in the primaries but i have trouble seeing when it comes down to the election in the 5 or 6 key swing states whether swing voters will respond to her message absent a severe economic downturn. paul: here is the other issue that i see in political tactual terms, she and bernie sanders are now splitting the left-wing progressive vote, bernie has his fervent partisans even if he s not doing as well in the polls
shannon: she said, she s been pressured by the left to step down and make way under a democratic president. she said getting someone like me confirmed now, she implied, would be nearly impossible. she s a reliable progressive vote. i wish her the best. she s got a lot to do with the collegiality with the court. she s gone out of the way to praise her new colleagues, justice kavanaugh and justice gorsuch. i m not going to engage in morbid speculation of what s going to happen. as far as tearing the country apart, i think we knew whoer to the country apart in the last confirmation battle. do we want to go through that again as a count with the the presidential election coming up? i certainly hope no. i wish her the best. and she s been extraordinary in this effort to keep the court itself as an institution away
poll. and what that says to me is these viral moments that drive twitter attention and fundraising, they re important but don t translate to enduring support. you look at a different candidate like elizabeth warren who has steadily gained voters throughout the primary process, she hasn t really done it with viral moments. to me that s the way to advance for democrats. harris needs to figure out a way to get back into the conversation to get voters excited about her, because clearly this poll shows that their interest level has fallen off. warren in these figures, she had, ron, something of a rise over the last few weeks, steady and playing a long game, all these policies are going to plan for that. this poll leveled off a bit, and as you noted, splitting the progressive vote, if you can call it that, between bernie sanders. can she jump out of that? look, i think the challenge there s no question, as josh said, she is building support i think more
