And asking for an explanation on medicare for all, so maybe she needs to come up with a plan for losing. if you look at the iowa caucus. jessica: i feel if that will just come naturally. lisa: one thing that s really interesting if you look at votes in iowa and new hampshire, voters are still wide open to changing their opinion. this whole thing for the democrat nomination is really anyone s game. melissa: it was like that for republicans, too, it was a flavor of the week. especially in the early days somebody was always surging and somebody was always falling and you have the sense that everyone was going to have their day and it was just, could you keep it going? lisa: what about the question of authenticity. elizabeth warren caught on tape saying her kids went to public school, that s not true, questions of her getting fired over her maternity leave, questions about her 1/1,024th ....
