Don t have to do this. i think that s also sort of in play and biden has to realize at some point should he become the nominee, he s going to have to get a full-throated, enthusiastic endorsement from barack obama because that is a part of what he s running for, bringing back the obama era, not something entirely new. this is your life s work. i m just an observer here, but it seems to me this democratic race has enjoyed something like stasis for a good, long time. no huge changes. in your view, are we due for one in six weeks in iowa? i think we are. now, i don t know who that person is going to be. but every single consultant that i have spoken to, people on the ground in iowa, people on the ground in south carolina, people say cory booker and bernie sanders have fantastic ground teams. and joe biden s support is soft among system college educated, long-term caucusers that you
it seems to me this democratic race has enjoyed something like stay tis fsis fod long time. no huge changes. are we due for one in six weeks in iowa? i think we are. now, i don t know who that person is going to be, but every sungal consultant that i have spoken to, people on the ground in iowa, people on the ground in south carolina say corey booker and bernie sanders have fantastic ground teams and that joe biden s support is soft. it s soft amongst african-american voters in south carolina. it is soft amongst college educated long term caucusers in iowa. we could have a very late night in early 2020. we may not find out until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning who ends up winning. how joe biden performs at the end of the day if it s close or heaven forbid if he loses in iowa can change the dynamics. jason, do you promise me to do your level best to have a
