protocol. his team insists the monday speech is not meant to be rude to rubio. they say it was well on the books before the scheduled announcement. they say it will be over several hours before the big event. we'll see if any bad blood comes of that. that's it for "inside politics." thanks for sharing your sunday morning. stay with cnn today for hillary clinton's breaking news on the presidential announcement including on "state of the union" which starts right now. it's d day, declare for president day. hillary clinton's announcement is hours away. this is "state of the union." hillary clinton launches another bid for the white house. the democrat who says he may challenge her. republican candidate rand paul on the clinton trust factor and expectations for hillary 2.0. good morning from washington. i'm dana bash. her announcement video is made and hillary clinton's new campaign aids have their finger on the "send" button.

in a few hours she'll make it official her candidacy for president of the united states. it's been going on around her and about her for months. we are covering all angles of this story. we begin with cnn's mark preston who is at the clinton campaign headquarters in new york. mark you're not in a ballroom. this is intentionally low key. explain why. >> reporter: dana no question about that. in fact when hillary clinton ran for president in 2008 they made a tactical mistake. they were upset with the clintons her candidacy, because there was a sense of entitlement that she should have won that is asset. fast forward to where we stand now, hillary clinton realizes she needs to reconnect with the voters. we've heard that from her own husband, bill clinton. he said that in a recent interview. we expect the video to be low key. we expect it in the coming week when she heads to iowa. when she heads to new hampshire

she won't be doing these large events. she'll be doing these events in people's living rooms, small events. once that video is sent in a few hours expect that top campaign officials in the building behind me will start picking up the phone. they will be calling senior democratic officials across the country telling them about the candidacy and telling them why they should support hillary clinton. >> game on. thank you very much mark. hillary clinton's first trip after announcing will be to iowa which of course holds the first presidential contest in 2016. joe johns is in des moines. joe, we all remember iowa was the beginning and end of hillary's 2008 campaign. she got trounced by barack obama and lost to john edwards. it's note worth bring that that's her first stop right? >> reporter: it certainly is. i think talking to clinton supporters dana you get the sense that you learn from your mistakes. no one in hillary clinton

fledgling, if you will campaign is talking about it right now. one of the great mistakes of 2008 was not getting off to a good start. right here in iowa she was outorganized by then senator barack obama and connecting with people means meeting them where they live talking to them on their own level. we've already seen some of that from that mission statement that came out in advance of this expected announcement. the expectation now is that they're going to try to show a more humble hillary clinton willing to fight for every vote. the rollout seen as a soft start, a humble beginning if you will. what to expect on the ground assuming that announcement does come today, democratic strategists telling me they expect an extraordinarily tightly controlled and stage managed campaign with lots of messaged discipline to try to avoid some of the miss steps and in fighting we saw last year. and some of that, of course, you see already in the radio silence coming from her inner circle about today and the coming week

dana. >> it's true. the silence is deafening. thank you so much joe. i want to turn to our senior political correspondent, brianna keeler. bri, what are you hearing from your sources? >> reporter: they are trying the campaign to show that they are aggressively fighting for votes. before this even gets off the ground here dana with hillary clinton's announcement on social media, a sign that this race is really on because you have in a video provided to cnn by jeb bush's camp really he is already taking her on in what's essentially a rebuttal. we know that hillary clinton, we found out through the epilogue to her paper back book that she'll be talking about opportunity to all-americans. guess what jeb bush is talking about in this? that every american should have the right to the american dream. he also tries to tie hillary clinton to president obama. take a listen. >> we must do better than the obama/clinton foreign policy that has damaged relationships with our allies and emboldened

our enemies, better than their failed big government policies that grow our debt and stand in the way of real economic growth and prosperity. >> reporter: as we await in the hours ahead of this announcement you are seeing very much this is game on. jeb bush along with other republicans, taking aim so much at hillary clinton rather than just amongst republicans, dana. >> even more so, i would say. brianna, thanks for that reporting. with me now are two women, both democrats, who served with hillary clinton in the senate. debby stabinau and mary landrieu. i want to start with you, senator stabinau. in michigan if hillary clinton came to you in michigan and said debby, give me some advice what should i do now that i didn't do before what would you tell her? >> well dana it's great to be with you. i have to say in michigan she should keep doing what she's been doing, standing with us in the auto industry fighting for

the middle class. the great thing about hillary clinton is she understands we've not completely come out of recovery unless every american has a fair shot to succeed and she understands that right now we actually have folks working two jobs or three jobs trying to hold their head above water and she wants to make sure it's one good-paying job with benefits where you can really be in the middle class. so from a michigan standpoint i'd say just keep speaking out, keep fighting keep doing what you've been doing. >> that's the message. what about something that she really has to do which is connecting with voters? what would you tell her? >> dana i think she does that beautifully. if hillary would just be hillary and if we will all allow her to be the extraordinary leader that she is her campaign is going to be beautifully done. >> what does that mean? >> well she's smart. she knows the issues. she's probably one of the most experienced people to ever run for the office of president. as debbie said while washington

might be focused on the nuts and bolts of the campaign iowa new hampshire, the ins and outs voteers are focused on the future. they want a leader they can count on to deliver for them to represent them to deliver on their hopes and dreams for the american dream and while the recovery has been very robust under democratic leadership in the white house, we've got to go forward. not everyone has come out of that. >> right. >> important jobs need to be created. i think that secretary clinton, and there's a nice ring to president hillary clinton, can really bring that hope and that aspiration to the american people. >> senator stabenow what senator landrieu said needing a candidate for the future that seems to be part of the problem she's having with the liberal base. they don't see her as the future they see her as the past. they see elizabeth warren as someone who fires them up and stands for liberal ideals. why is that?

why is that not hillary clinton's area that she's doing well in? >>ing well dana first of all, elizabeth is terrific and hillary and elizabeth and i and all of us mary when she was doing a terrific job in the senate all understand it's very much about the future. i have to say, electing the first woman president would certainly be a big step in the future and hillary's also part of a special new club i'm proud to be a part of, mary is as well called the grandma's club. i have to tell you, once you have that first grandchild. i'll never forget 2007 in the middle of an incredibly hectic time she took the time to call me and con grate two late me. i got there before she did. once you hold that baby you are all about the future. i have absolutely no doubt in my mind she's doubling down like i have like mary has.

it's about what's going to be there for our grandkids. >> you know on that point, the grandmother issue, running as a woman as senator stabenow talked about. >> the female issue, she didn't do that. she shied away from it. this time she's not going to shy away from the woman card she's going to play it up and make a point that this would be historic to have the first female president. should she be doing that. >> i think all leaders are well advised to do what they are. she's been a remark annualable leader not just for women in the united states but around the world. she should let that shine. we served with her in the senate debbie and i. she's an amazingly collaborative leader. she's strong when necessary but soft when you have to be to bring people along in a difficult -- we've got some real

challenges in this country. we need a president that's focused on the future like she is and knows what to do to get the economy stronger and real for everyone. and there's some tough issues, sound bites, bumper stickers are not going to help. that's our friends on the other side. they're good at tearing people down but people right now want us to build up america. they want us to build us up and be strong be ger and better and she does that better than anyone. >> senator stabenow i want to ask you about the iraq war. you voted proudly against the iraq war in 2002. as everybody now knows, that was one of the big reasons why she lost the democratic nomination to barack obama who opposed it in 2008. do you think given your differences on that it was a key foreign policy issue, do you think she has the judgment to be the president on foreign policy from your perspective? >> i absolutely do. you know dana that was a very very tough situation, and

watching her now go forward, she was secretary of state, rebuilding alliances that were completely destroyed during the bush presidency bush great recession. everything that hatched around the world, her ability to begin to rebuild that to create a platform for this administration be able to go forward, be able to talk to somebody. i have absolutely no doubt in her judgment and, frankly, there's nobody running for president, man or woman, that knows every leader has relationships, is smarter, tougher, more experienced to walk into what is a very difficult world that we're now in. >> last question for you now senator landrieu. you know firsthand how it is to run as a democrat on the ballot when people are tying you to barack obama. people are doing that for hillary clinton saying she'll be running a third obama term.

how do you feel given that experience what should she do? should she embrace him or keep her distance? >> first of all, when she and all of us continue to remind the american public the extraordinary work that president obama has done to end the bush recession, save the auto industry in detroit, restore the confidence in our economy and restore millions of jobs you know it's going to be not as far of a walk for people to get that. while the recession is not yet over who do you trust to make it real for everyone? republicans have offered nothing. they really have turned to be a party of personal degradation. they just tear people down instead of building zblup if she came to you and said what do you think, should i have the president campaign? >> absolutely. we are one democratic party. the president has a great deal to be proud of. as you know i don't agree with

him on every policy. i don't agree with president clinton to be hillary clinton, on every policy but we're one party and we are proud we have led this country out of a desperate situation economically. let's keep that going. >> senator landrieu thank you for coming in. great to see you. >> thank you. >> senator stabenow appreciate seeing you as well. the attack lines against hillary clinton are already coming rapid fire from her republican opponents. i'll talk with new gop presidential candidate rand paul about that and more up next. ise financial noise financial noise financial noise

sitting down with me. let's start with the news of the weekend, hillary clinton announcing for president. over the past week you've been really critical of her when it comes to the issue of trust talking about benghazi talking about the donations to the clinton foundation. how far back do you think is fair game? do you think monica? do you think white water? do you think the travel office issues? what should be in the realm of the public debate now? >> you know i'm not sure that i'll get to decide what's in the realm or not, but i do think that there is sort of a history of the clintons sort of feeling like they're above the law. they said they weren't going to take donations from the clinton foundation during the time she was secretary of state and there are questions whether they did. since then there are questions of them taking millions of dollars from saudi arabia from the sultan of brunai. countries that have an abysmal women's record and human rights record. it questions the sin cert of whether or not she would be a

champion of women's rights when she accepts money from a country like brunai when it stones to death people of adultery. the men have the only say in the legal system in brunai. it makes it difficult for her message to appear sincere when she's taking money from these foreign countries. >> you said you don't get to decide but you do get to choose where you criticize her and where you don't. >> right. >> how far back do you think is fair game? >> i think that her public policy and public life will be fair game. >> some of your critics on the republican side -- >> i don't have any critics, do i? >> i know shocking. you do have critics on both sides as you know. some of your republican critics argue that you are actually to the left of hillary clinton on foreign policy that she's more hawkish than you are. >> yeah. here's the interesting thing about this who's aligned with president obama, whose foreign policy is closest to president obama. interestingly, many of the hawks in my party line right up with

president obama. think about the big issues we've had in the last couple of years. the war that hillary prominently promoted in libya. many of the hawks in my party were right there with her. the only difference was in degrees. they wanted to go into libya as well. they wanted boots on the ground. some of the hawks on the party you can't find a place on the globe. >> that's the point, you're to the left of them. >> no. no. my point is that they are actually agreeing with hillary clinton and agreeing with president obama that the war in labor libya was a good idea. i'm over here saying that that war made us less safe that it made radical islam or allowed radical islam to rise nup libup in libya. supplying arms to the islamic rebels in the syrian war. president obama supported this. hillary clinton supported this. so did the hawks in my party. they differed on degrees. i didn't support the arming of

the syrian rebels because i felt like it would make al qaeda and isis worse. i didn't support the bombing of assad. president obama supported that and so did the neocons in my party. they're together in supporting these interventions and i've been the one not supporting the conventions. if you bombed them you would get them stronger. there are 2 million christians in syria, if you asked them who would they choose? they would choose assad over isis because they see the barbe barbarity. these are great foreign policy questions. they'll be great debates and i look forward to having them. >> is there an area where you think hillary clinton was successful as secretary of state? >> i think really that the issue in benghazi is an enormous issue because it's whether or not as commander in chief she would be there for a 3:00 a.m. phone

call. i think benghazi was a 3:00 a.m. phone call she didn't pick up. she didn't provide the security for not just that day, for nine months. dozens and dozens of -- >> the question was was there something that she did that was good? >> that's what i was trying to think. i was trying to get through the things that i remember that aren't so good? trying to think of something good. i'm not so certain of that. i think she took her eye off a very important zone. she was also a big believer in putting arms indiscriminately into the syrian civil war. i think that made isis stronger. >> one last question about hillary clinton. over the past week as you well know there has been some criticism of you and about your interaction with female interviewers questioning whether you have an iesh you with women. you said you get equally annoyed with men and women, i get that. >> that's probably true. >> i get that. but perception is reality sometimes in politics. if you are the republican nominee, you're on the stage with her, are you going to have to pull your punches given your

perception? >> women have come a long way. women are in positions not because they're women, they're in positions like yours because they're intelligent and they should be equal to their counter parts and treated equally. the interviewers in the last couple of days got it easier than i gave to eliot spitzer probably a year or two ago. the thing is i'm unwilling to let people characterize things unfairly and if someone's going to write an op ed on me in the question that's fair for them to try to do it but it's also fair for me to try to set the record straight that they're editorializing in the question. >> what about if you are on the stage with hillary clinton, will you be cognizant of the fact that she would be a female opponent? >> i'm always polite. even in the interviews where i'm accused of being too aggressive i've never yelled or screamed. i don't get out of control. i do try to be polite. i've always treated it that way. i would treat her with the same respect that i would treat a man but i wouldn't lay down and say

i'm not going to respond. that would be a sexist sort of response to say, oh, my goodness she deserves to be treated as aggressively because she's only a woman. i don't say that about anybody. okay it's a woman versus man interview. i think she has tough questions, he will ask tough questions, i have to be prepared. >> that's good to hear. on those tough questions, let's talk about defense spending. when you first came to the senate you proposed decreasing defense spending by about $164 billion, and then in the past couple of weeks really you've proposed increasing by 190 billion. why the change in. >> i've proposed several five-year budgets and for me the most important thing in the five-year budget has been to balance. all of them have balanced. the last one did increase defense spending above the military sequester. i did it from taking money from

domestic spending. my belief has been national defense is the most important thing we do but we shouldn't borrow to pay for it. there is a division in our party. one of them said i'm going to increase defense spending but i'm going to borrow the money and make the debt worse. i put up what's called a side by side. i believe in putting up a strong defense but i don't believe in borrowing for it. i don't think you should borrow money from china to do it. i said i will only pay for events by cutting spending elsewhere. >> that may be true, but you're also somebody who's trying to prove that you are not weak on national security so by proposing an increase in military spending before you announce for president could look like pandering. >> three or four years ago we did the same thing so we have been proposing increases in military spending but always --

the point isn't really so much how much or what the increase is i believe any increase in spending should be off set by decreases somewhere else. this is a key point because this differentiates me from the rest in the field, many people are spenders for welfare. they get together. washington right and less get together and they spend us into oblivion. the point is i am different. i will not increase spending for anything unless it's offset by corresponding decreases in spending elsewhere in the budget. >> let's talk about a social issue, gay marriage. in new hampshire you said i will fight for your right to be left a lean. i realize that you believe gay marriage is a state issue, but why do you believe as a principal as a libertarian that people should be left alone but not when it comes to their right to marry somebody they love? >> i do believe people ought to be left alone.

i don't care who you are, what you do at home who your friends are, you know where you hang out, what kind of music you listen to. what you do in your home is your own business. i am a leave me alone kind of guy. >> but not when it comes to marriage? >> well no states will end up making decisions on these things. i think that there's a religious connotation to marriage. i believe in the traditional religious connotation to this. i believe people should be treated fairly under law. i see no reason why if marriage conveys certain things if you want to marry another woman, you can do that and have a contract but the thing is the religious connotation of marriage that has been going on for thousands of years, i still want to preserve that. you could probably have both. you could have traditional marriage which i believe in and then you could also have the neutrality of the law that allows people to have contracts with another. >> anything you want to tell me about your first week?

any highlights low lights regrets? >> let me think. it's been just kind of a piece of cake. everybody's been so nice to me. i mean everywhere i go. >> meanwhile, back on planet earth. >> actually the people have been. the media, not always so much. the people have been very nice to me. we've had extraordinary turnouts. couple thousand people in louisville packed rooms in new hampshire. packed audiences in south carolina. we just got off stage in iowa with probably i don't know 700, 800 kids with so much energy all a lot of them saying they want something different, someone who will defend them in criminal justice. people who want a more reasonable and rational foreign policy. >> thank you, senator. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> appreciate your time. and up next, it may look like hillary clinton is the inevitable presidential nominee, but she does have a new potential challenger on the

left. former reed senator lincoln chaffey. we'll join him when we come back. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what's up for the next shift? ah, nothing much. just keeping the lights on. (laugh) nice. doing the big things that move an economy. see you tomorrow, mac. see you tomorrow, sam. just another day at norfolk southern. denver international is one of the busiest airports in the country. we operate just like a city and that takes a lot of energy. we use natural gas throughout the airport - for heating the entire terminal generating electricity on-site and fueling hundreds of vehicles. we're very focused on reducing our environmental impact. and natural gas is a big part of that commitment.

don't you some day want to see a woman president of the united states of america? >> hillary clinton enters the 2016 presidential race as the clear favorite among democrats, but she's still likely to face a primary challenge. in fact the man who joins me

now made a surprise announcement this week that he's launching a presidential exploratory committee. it's lincoln chaffee. thank you for joining me. you have an unusual history when it comes to party affiliation. you were appointed to the senate to replace your father. you lost to a democrat. you are now a democrat considering a run for president. why? >> first of all, this is senator clinton's big day and i congratulate her on her entrance into the race. voters should have choices in races so it's going to be a great debate i hope in the democratic primaries. as far as my evolution, certainly the republican party changed and i never changed. as i became an independent my values never changed whether it's on fiscal responsibility environment or using the government tools to help the

less fortunate, keeping us out of the kwaugquagmires, i've never changed. >> you said you challenged hillary clinton primarily because of her vote for the iraq war. you were the only republican to vote against the iraq war in 2002. do you think there's enough anger left this is a long time ago, to propel your candidacy based on that? >> well i enjoyed working with senator clinton. we overlapped for six years and we served on the environment and public works committee together and we worked on some breast cancer issues endangered species issues i enjoyed that. that vote for the iraq war, that was a moment in time dana where the vietnam war had ended and the berlin wall came down. there was lasting peace if we made good decisions particularly

after september 11th when people were angry and scared. that was a moment in time where the premise for going to iraq was so false that there were weapons of mass destruction, she didn't do her homework. we live with the ramifications. you may say that's 12 years ago. that's a big motivator for me running. if you show lack of judgment lack of doing homework then what can we expect in the future? >> you have called hillary clinton a democratic bush enabler. you said that when you endorsed her opponent in 2008 barack obama. what what about now? do you think that her ideals and goals are appropriate looking at the world now? >> as i said, we're going to have a lot of areas of agreement domestically but i have a lot of areas of disagreement internationally, yes. even her tenure as secretary of state was kind of a muscular top down unilateral too close to the

neocons, too bush like. you could say after her tenure as secretary of state, what kind of accomplishments did you have? there were precious few. >> let's talk about domestic issues. as you well know there's a lot of enthusiasm out there for elizabeth warren because of her populus approach to economic issues. do you consider yourself somebody who wants to fill that void since she's saying she's not running? >> yes, absolutely. there's no doubt that senator warren's absolutely right about what's happening to the middle class. she's just been a prophet about this for a number of years. that's what makes any community, whether it's a state or a city or a country or anywhere around the world strong is having a robust middle class. she's right. i have a great record of voting against the bush tax cuts which widened that disparity of wealth led to the great

recession. i'm proud of my record. i am proud to have senator warren's support and her legion of followers. >> i'm sure you would. when you left the governor's mansion in rhode island you had an approval of 25% and you left after one term. if you have that low standing in your own state, how are you going to get support around the country? >> well i came in in a tough time. rhode islanders had some of the highest foreclosures highest unemployment our cities and towns were going bankrupt. people were stressed out. they were angry. every little thing was difficult as i tried to turn rhode island around and of course any time you're raising taxes you're making people angry. i had to do that raise beach fees. made people angry. but at the end, and that's why i'm running, rhode island is better off. we had the biggest drop of unemployment the rate of unemployment than all but four states. that's a great record of accomplishment and i'm proud of

helping our cities and towns get out of bankruptcy. even our capital city of providence was eligible. that's not true today. >> a little known fact. you went to boarding school, high school with jeb bush back in the day. were you friends? what do you know about him personally? do you think he could make a good president? >> yes, we were friends. we lived in the same dorm together. we've bumped into each other the same time since. we'll see what happens coming down the road. >> do you think he would make a good president? he's not his brother, obviously. he has different views on things. >> now we have three bushes to compare, the father george w. and now jeb. we'll see how it goes down in the campaign. >> lastly you sounded like you were pretty far in this morning in our discussion. are you definitely going to run? >> well the process is to form the exploratory committee but, yes, i want to be there november december january debating these issues. >> okay.

certainly will make it interesting. governor lincoln chafee thank you. great to see you. >> how will hillary clinton navigate that and other rough waters she'll encounter in a second presidential run. how much of this will be a reaction to a failed bid last time around. republican and democratic heavy hitters will weigh in when we come back. well somewhere along the way emily went right on living. but you see, with the help of her raymond james financial advisor, she had planned for every eventuality. ...which meant she continued to have the means to live on... ...even at the ripe old age of 187. life well planned. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you.

although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time thanks to you it's got about 18 million cracks in it. >> joining me around the table now is republican congresswoman marcia blackburn of tennessee, ana navorro jeb bush supporter, paul with a pro hillary super pac and joe lockhart who was the

white house press secretary for bill clinton. thank you all for coming in. joe, let me start with you. a video on a tweet. does that really -- i get they're trying to lower expectations slow roll all of that. does that really rise to the occasion and the event that this is and maybe should be? >> i don't think it's any just one thing. i mean i think by the middle of last week people were aware she was going to do this. people were talking about it. the millions of people who are going to be out organizing helping that have been waiting for this are now building in excitement so i think you'll see a video and you'll see her travel around. there's a long way to election day. i don't think there's any constituency that's dying for this campaign to start earlier. >> i have one political consultant. >> political consultants, we're all against that. >> i was talking to a friend

why don't you go to sen know call falls, women's suffrage if you're in go all in? >> we haven't seen the video. we're talking about something we haven't seen. frankly, it feels so anticlimatic. we've known it's coming. it feels ho hum, low energy. it's safe it's scripted it's controlled which is very hillary. i think, you know it's hard to make a video, sighting. frankly, unless she comes out juggling fire i don't know what she could have done in a video that would make it exciting. i would like her to go to where she gave that final speech in 2008 and say, i am retaking up the torch. i'm here to fight again. but -- and tomorrow we're going to see from marco rubio a spectacle, performance. >> yeah. >> a great background. an awesome speech. >> let's dive into dare we say, substance and issues. congresswoman, i just want to

read the -- a part of the epilogue this new epilogue of her book "hard choices" where she signals where she's going. too few of the children born in the united states and around the world will grow up with the same opportunities as charlotte, talking about her granddaughter. you shouldn't have to be the granddaughter of a president or a secretary of state to receive excellent health care education, enrichment and all of the support and advantage that will one day lead to a good job and a good life. >> but what she is doing is pointing specifically at what has been the failed policies of this administration. 5.5 million more people in poverty. the labor force participation rate lower than it has been since 1978 and she knows that all women want more and better and want the gift of opportunity for their children and

grandchildren, but this administration has on so many different fronts short circuited that and has made the situation worse. they've closed doors for people rather than opening doors. and that is going to be something hillary clinton is going to have to decide is she going to run on the obama record or is she going to change that? because what has happened in the past eight years makes it much more difficult for our children and grandchildren to have a fruitful productive free life. >> what about that paul? you know what's going on in that world. you've been in that world for decades. it is not easy to run as a third democratic term you know and that's certainly what she's going to try to do. there hasn't been a third term of a party since george h.w. bush in 1988. he came off a pretty popular presidency with ronald regan. >> in labor day of this year 1988 ronald regan was at 52%.

barack obama, nbc wall street journal poll 51. so he's right in zone. i think a president can tank you but he can't elect you. so george w. bush god bless him, he was 33 on labor day before that election. so john mccain was toast. >> it's right for her to be running on his policies? >> bush killed mccain. you have to have a record to build on. that's what she's talking about in this clip. gee, barack obama was great, my husband was great going forward. her husband was 102. there are two laws. first is elections are about tomorrow not yesterday. in that little clip she's talking about tomorrow and elections are about you, not me. this is where the republicans are going to make a mistake. they will attack her, you can't help it. you saw senator paul in your interview, they can't help it. they want to personally attack hillary. the way to do it is talk about ideas and issues. >> i think you just hit it.

you said elections are about tomorrow not yesterday. frankly, it's hard to look at hillary clinton, it's hard to look at this table and not think about yesterday. we have been talking about the clintons now for decades. they were people that were -- >> they've been running for president for ten years. >> you can make the same argument about who you're supporting. >> before we have to take a quick break, to your point about how people are attacking her on the republican side. the issue of trustworthiness. there was a poll out this week in some of the key swing states that shows that she has a problem with that. colorado 38% say yes. iowa 43% say yes. virginia 40% say yes. so perhaps you don't think it's the right strategy but it seems to be working because that's all republicans thing, whether impeachment

and all the stories around president clinton, benghazi brought this up to hillary clinton. there's one thing to go enand raise issues but it's never enough. they never get back to issues that matter to voters. those are the things hillary clinton is talking about in her ep log, the ability to get good education, health care. i expect they won't be able to help themselves. there will be a dozen people jumping all over trying to get attention going after it. it has never worked and never will work. >> hold that thought. we're pog to take a quick break and come back and talk a lot more about hillary clinton. because we have two people who know him well bill clinton, asset or liability this time around. stay with us. so why pause to take a pill? and why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom? with cialis for daily use, you don't have to plan around either. it's the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction so you can be ready anytime the moment is right.

>> i get it. this election is about you. i don't want to hog your limelight. i'm leaving. look at me gone. bye. i'm gone. >> aren't we such a fun, approachable dynasty. >> "saturday night live" wasting no opportunity to poke fun at the clintons. we are awaiting hillary clinton's official announcement for presidential bid. back around me around the table marsha blackburn, anna nafro and paul lockhart. all right. both of you know bill clinton very, very well. has he said i'll start with you, paul he's going to be more of a back stage adviser this time. do you believe it knowing clinton? >> sure. the thing is it's going to be about hillary, not him. that's right. this is my problem with smart people. they think too much. >> clinton? >> does lebron james help cleveland cavaliers, gee, i don't know. don't overthink it. my party has at its disposal the

two missouri talented bill clinton and barack obama, should she use them? >> that's not the question. that's a no-brainer. the question is whether he should be out giving speeches and interviews that got her in trouble in 2008 joe. >> i have to agree somewhat with paul. there was a survey out recently by the most respected people in the world. bill clinton came in just short of the pope and hillary clinton was the -- >> public role. >> campaigns where you really learn something are not the campaigns you win. campaigns where you learn something are the ones you lose. you have a lot of time to think about it. i think both hillary and president clinton have looked at that. i think he will be different this time. i think it's a huge asset. i think you will see him publicly but i think he's learned over time that his value is to go out and sort of, you know ref the base up and go out

but not to make the case for her and not to make the case every time to defend her. >> bill clinton is both an asset and liability. he's an asset because he's terrific he can raise funds, he's an asset because he has been there and can give advice. does hillary clinton wan to follow a bill clinton speech on the stage? >> hold that thought because i do want to talk about your party, marco rubio, he's announcing tomorrow he's going to run for president. quickly get to you but starting with you, congressman, do you believe he is the kind of future for your party? >> i think people are excited to see all of the candidates that are running on the republican side. we've got a team full and a deep bench that are out there running. here is the difference. hillary clinton with obama and bill clinton reminds people of the things they don't like.

the clinton scandals, obama care which people want to see repealed. keystone pipeline which they want to see passed. those are the reminders out there every time you have bill clinton and obama out there. when they look at our bench, they see people that are new faces, very diverse that have big ten ideas. >> thank you very much. i'm going to get you, we're going to be back live at noon eastern, get marco rubio and more. thank you very much all of you. we appreciate it and we'll be right back. stay with us. being the exact thing we have to do. cross that ocean. walk on that moon. fly. none of this makes rational sense. it only makes american sense. here, the hard things show us who we are. leaving your job to start your own thing. having a kid, when you still feel like a kid. signing a 30-year mortgage on a home.
