those that are african-american -- when are you going to stop killing each other? utica,hat is don in michigan. he mentioned to mitt romney, in the news over the past couple of days, talking in connection with an endorsement of gary johnson. not that this happened, but the et news saying if romney endorsed gary johnson, saying you talk it become a swing state. he has had conversations with mitt romney, but the former massachusetts governor is considering endorsing the libertarian and his running mate in the election. host: off of twitter this

morning, tj adding to the conversation about what they learned from the convention, saying learned at the dnc that they would love living in a north korea/cuba, where the government has all the guns and the government controls every aspect of your life. let's hear from vicki in richmond, kentucky. independent line. how are you? caller: i'm really upset right now about all of this. because the democrats, when i'm seeing -- i was a democrat. and i'm just appalled that they are so gullible to what hillary clinton is doing. and what she's going to do to this country. what people don't realize is that these muslims -- i'm not against muslims, i'm not against mexicans. but we've got muslims infiltrating into our country that are all about control. their whole objective is control. and hillary's big buddies with

these people. and there are people who are coming in that are muslim that are converting to christianity, which are country is supposed to be based on. which i'm ashamed of what is going on in our country. we can't even as christians -- we are dogs and monsters. these people, they are putting them up on pedestals. they are cutting people's heads off. i don't understand it. i really don't. i know muslims personally. i know them. they say that obama is weak. they laugh at the leaders in our country. and i believe the donald trump is going to do something about this. i wash these conventions, i watch these people in the democratic convention crying and weeping. that all looks so sweet. i'm going to tell you what. they're going to really cry if hillary gets in there.

these muslims are going to come in -- host: we got we were saying. that's vicki in richmond, kentucky. about 58 minutes left to go in this program for today. no guests this morning. aboutto hear from you another the republican convention on democratic convention are over, your thoughts on. in this last hour, we're going to change the conversation just a bit. we want to let you tell us what were the best and worst parts of what you saw over the last two weeks. he would talk about the speakers, you talk about the program, you talk about the music, you talk about the balloons, whatever. the best and worst parts of the democratic and public and conventions. again, the numbers stay the same. democrats, call (202) 748-8000. republicans, call (202) 748-8001 . , call (202)

748-8002. hillary clinton filled up you today. the new york times highlighting the donald trump is spending a lot of time in pennsylvania, as far as his campaign strategy, joining us on the phone to talk about pennsylvania, which is a swing state, is john baer of the philadelphia daily news. good morning. guest: good morning, pedro. thanks for having it. host: could you tell us about where pennsylvania stands right now? red, blue, mixed? your viewers may know that it can swing it has not voted for public and candidate for president since 1988. you would think we are a blue state. but polling this year has been a little bit different. polling shows the state for a tight. it was a suffolk university poll out yesterday that shows hillary clinton up nine, but i spoke with a widely respected republican pollster yesterday, he says his polling has it within a couple of points.

he thinks it's going to stay that way. and believes that the state is in play more than any other big state. it's going to be a tough race. i think it is evidenced by both campaigns, hillary clinton today and tomorrow, doing a bus to ur across pennsylvania. donald trump is indefinite. got a lot ofons attention. i think every review talk to says the road to the white house this year goes through pennsylvania. just changingthey the makeup of pennsylvania so you are seeing this reflected in the polling numbers? guest: economics. it's always about the economy in a state as big and diverse and formerly important in manufacturing and mining. there's almost been a reverse, pedro, of the political demographic of the state. in years past, the suburbs of philadelphia tentative over

publican. now, they tend to vote democratic. in years past, the suburbs of pittsburgh, allegheny county, that area in the southwest was always blue-collar, democrat, now they are voting republican. carried mitt romney every democratic county surrounding allegheny county, which is pittsburgh. this year, when people voted in our primary, we have a closed primary. meaning that you can only vote for the party for which you are registered, this year, the county with the most switches from democrat to republican, to vote in the primary back in april was allegheny county, which is pittsburgh. there are some signs that donald trump has more support here then passed republicans in the last six elections. host: is mr. trump taking advantage of this by a ground game at present in the state? how does that compare hillary clinton?

guest: is tough to gauge. hillary clinton will have a phenomenal ground game. she won the state of the democratic president for primary back in 2008. she beat barack obama by nine points. her husband won the state twice in president elections. she has always had a presence here. father family roots, her was born in scranton, were donald trump was this week. demographics,re, past history, registration edge, she should win the state. and you know how well organized or campaign will be. donald trump is new to this. we will see. whether or not he can put together something to compete effectively with that. host: john baer, what are you looking for from here on out, as far as campaigns are concerned? you talked about changing instances, what are you most interested in following is a columnist looking at the selection? -- this election?

guest: whether or not robert and can take it manage of the strongest measures they have, which is they represent change, she represents a continuation of policies and practices that have been in place for eight years, in administration she was part of. if the republicans, and particularly trump, personally, can take advantage of that, the state will be very, very competitive. the second thing, pedro, is which campaign can convince pennsylvanians that they actually will provide long-term employment in a state that still is further back in recovery than most other big states. the recovery that many states are saying hasn't come to pennsylvania. the election is going to be driven by economic issues, and the campaign that has the most convincing case will win the state. host: to jump on a little, how do issues such as trade way

amongst handling of voters, or mining of coal play out? host: obviously -- guest: obviously, very strongly. particularly in the northeastern part of the state of the southwestern part of the state, where manufacturing was very heavy. right, thoseutely trade issues are going to be very important. host: john baer of the "philadelphia daily news." how often do you put out a column? guest: normally, twice week. the last two weeks, every day. philly.com foree more vintage from our guest. things for joining us. guest: thanks for having me. host: we hear from barbara, first call. my change of topic, the best and worst part of the convention. you can highlight both of them, or one or the other. .emocrats, call (202) 748-8000 republicans, call (202) 748-8001

. independent, call (202) 748-8002 . barbara, the best and worst. caller: what i wanted to say is clinton, he wanted to privatize social security. i'm on social security. he never wanted to privatize it. it was the bush and administration try to privatize social security. that would ruin social security. it's fine the way it is. also, on trump. i just heard on my news this morning at his convention last week, he had these little girls -- i don't know if they were aerobics are cheerleaders, but they were young. he refused to pay them. they want to be reimbursed for their travel money. host: barbara, best and worst parts of the convention. morgantown, west virginia. independent line. wayne, hello. caller: good morning, c-span. learnedt to say that i

how misinformed some people are about executive what's going on. the republican, democrat. i follow you guys online. some of the comments -- they are just totally untrue. people believe that. they believe what they want to believe. host: let me get from you the best part the conventions you saw over the last two weeks. caller: the best part? i think it would have to be the democrats. timenk hillary, from the -- came out of law school, she worked for the people. heroesarolyn and wendell -- in wendell hills. caller: good morning, think for c-span. i watched c-span through the whole time. one of the best things i loved is that you showed the real thing. every now and then i would

switch to fox or msnbc, and i noticed the value of communication. when they have someone on their they didn't like, they went to a commercial or something. thank you for c-span. the best thing i like about the democratic convention is i saw democracy at its best. initially, when bernie and hillary -- people do not agree, they were not of one accord, as a democrat, so like crying. because of the disunity. but i saw by tuesday evening and wednesday how we all came together. that's exactly what democracy is. we disagree, but we can come together for a purpose. i saw that. host: were you a supporter of bernie sanders? caller: no, i was down the middle. i voted for hillary, but i like the bernie was saying. i'm hoping that hillary listened to the crowd, it will take some of the things that bernie people

was proposing. that again, is democracy. we don't agree on everything, but they are good in both camps. host: do you have a worst part of the convention? caller: the worst part was the communication. they are supposed to be news reporters, but how they really slanted the news, even when away from the news. that is scary. it's scary what communication and how powerful it is. and how we are being disillusioned, dependent on what we are looking at listing two. host: let's hear from carl in hollis, new york. independent line. caller: hey, pedro. host: would you think about the best and worst parts of the convention? caller: the worst part was bernie sanders. his presence and the role he was

there, after running such a great campaign, against everything that the status quo was recommending, for him to now and juste and sellout sit there in support of clinton, the way he has -- i think for me, that was a hard thing to watch. speech,eing him give a seeing him give his support on the floor of mrs. clinton. he justi would rather abstained, it would have been better. i'm disappointed that you politics as usual. wants aernie sanders piece of that. i understand, he's an old man, but we will just have to watch. the best part was the c-span coverage.

all the behind-the-scenes things you guys cover, that was interesting. that's what i have is a disappointed in bernie. host: all that still available at c-span.org. harold from florida, republican line. go ahead, you are on. i think the best thing was that hillary didn't try to reclaim -- explain the clinton foundation and all the money they got, and how you can relate the money given to things done by the state department. if you read up about that in everything, it's unbelievable. she even made a promise before she went into the sector in state position that they wouldn't take conservations from foreigners while she was in there. and then they did. she can't even count the dollars they got, how many buddies they employed. , i guess, isng just the pie-in-the-sky, were she promises everything, she's

going to legalize the illegals and all this stuff. imagine any't quite of it happening without completely changing us into a banana republic. we are a republic right now, we vote things. you can just give everything away without paying some sort of prize. it would be quite the price. at the start of the democratic convention, we saw the removal of debbie wasserman schultz as the head of the democratic national committee. the story this morning in the papers, taking a look at the process of what happens now, who heads the dnc? talking with leaders in the house and the senate about that, saying the next head shouldn't be in congress, they are quoting nancy pelosi and cinnamon order -- senate minority leader harry reid saying it should be entered on by someone who doesn't have a day job resenting constituents in congress. i never thought it should be elected official.

host: that is in the "washington post," this morning. hill," they "the talk about debbie wasserman schultz and the support she is receiving from democrats since removal of head of the dnc, saying she was long considered a rising star of the party will weather the storm and continue her fight of the leadership ladder. that's jim clyburn, the third raking house democrat. he told the hill on thursday and voted to everything i can to help her rebound from the. the vice chairman of the democrat cap kosice -- caucus says she will be just fine. she will face an early test from the august 30 florida primary, which faces a tough challenge from a liberal law professor who continuously attacked her from the left and built a

considerable warchest doing it. massachusetts, let's hear from albert. independent line, not the best and worst part of the republican and democratic conventions. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i watched both conventions. , my observation of the republicans, no plan. organization. democrats, iom the thought there was structure and there was organization. there was planning. what is interesting on the show this morning, what i'm seeing, -- i may be wrong. but there are a lot of white males calling in. i watch this show a really basis. i have not seen in a long time so many white males calling in. so it must mean that there is a concern with hillary clinton

that maybe they are afraid. there's a fear factor, that possibly donald trump is really going to lose. they are showing their concerns. sayinge calling in and all manner of evil against hillary. i say vote hillary. because this is a situation where the country has changed. it is not a situation of a white male bastion anymore. it's a situation where all of us could possibly be president. i think it's a great time in. i really hope that hillary gets it trade i think that she has a great possibility. i hope it happens. because donald trump does not come off to me as being someone who i would want to have any kind of my safety. my safety cannot depend on someone as volatile as donald trump. it's not going to work. i also would like to say that

the bernie sanders supporters, how they acted on monday night, the first night, was deplorable. it was horrific. i think that it's partly bernie sanders' fault. he never really wishes position. he kept going and kept going, right up to the convention. i felt that that was disrespectful. not so much for hillary clinton, but it was disrespectful of the process. the democratic process. i was very upset about that. but at least i saw that by the end, there was a certain semblance of unity. i'm happy now, i think that hillary is on the road to the white house. host: we got it. from the city that hosted the republican national convention, ted from cleveland, republican line. caller: good morning. i think the best part for me that i saw was in the democratic

convention that proved where their attitude was, was when they had to have a cop stand up and ask for the fallen police officers, they were shouted out by black lives matter. that really saddened me that much more about hillary and what she represents. as far as the republicans at the convention, they honor the men who died in benghazi who died for a cause, and they still blame hillary for it. lgbt ms. hardaway: , whatever they call it, as far as from a sexuality is a sin against god. cheryl, inup is misery. a mcgrath line. -- in missouri. democrats line. caller: what i liked best from the democrat convention was michelle obama, very classy,

very intelligent. i loved her speech. she represents our country the way we should be, as opposed to trump's wife. host: was there a specific part you liked? -- ir: the one was when think i'm quoting this right, when she said when they went low, we went high. they took the low road, they took the high road. i think those are words to live by. i watched it with my grandkids, talk to them about it. and another thing i liked was when he looked out into the audience, you didn't see a bunch of old white men. mentionedbriefly melania trump. what did you get from her speech? she didn't really

want to be there. she really didn't know what she was talking about. that i think she would be a very -- not a very good first lady. trump fan i'm not a at all. i don't think she would represent the country. she is nowhere near having enough class or integrity, or intelligence that michelle obama has. thing was the crazy benghazi. everybody is sick to death of hearing about that. they investigated it to death, hillary clinton -- she was not held responsible for it. host: i want to go too far from where we are going. -- independent

line. caller: the best part to my convention is comparing to conventions. on the democratic side, you can clearly see the difference in a wider society participating. all the past presidents participating. on the other side, there were boycotts. we haveelling me that these past presidents living for the republicans, we are the last two people to run for the election for president. and they weren't there. the governor's work there. remember looking at these people and saying these are people we voted for to be president. we can't choose their judgment to say that donald trump is not fit to president? it's clear from these high we are to bee that able to respect their views and

see that they must be saying something good. person who ran for the republican is intending to vote for the independent person. we have to respect that. the worst thing i see is the media outlets. i normally don't listen to fox, because i think they are trying to create zombies. i noticed when hillary was being introduced on a video, i was curious, because it was going so nice. fox wasn't carrying it. andarted switching from fox cnn and msnbc. whenn very critical times, the democrats would be very good , the gentleman who was talking --ut this was

[indiscernible] during the whole of hillary's that powerful introduction, the didn't show it. host: got it. speaking of donald trump, he was responding to the statement he made towards russia concerning e-mails, saying on fox, that these were in terms sarcastic, saying that the president of nominees said thursday, comments to russians which caused an uproar for much of the security committee weren't meant to be taken literally.

host: that's the u.s. director of james clapper speaking at a security conference in aspen, colorado. we have been talking during the last couple of hours to reporters and the people who work for media in the swing states, without brown states as we might call them, to get a sense of what's going on on the ground. kevin o'brien joining us from the "cleveland plain dealer." you have the republican convention in ohio. stemming from that, how does ohio look for donald trump? preface this by everything i said about donald trump's chances all the way through this conventions idle has been wrong. you are talking to the wrong guy, but you chose me, so here i am. ohioans view how

their own circumstances. i think he will do very well in the parts of the state that clearly have not rebounded from the recession. in talking about a triangle between cleveland, youngstown, and akron. that area. i think there is fertile ground for him. there may be fertile ground for him in the southern part of the state, which has been viewed as more conservative, the cincinnati area, hamilton, butler counties, for example. those of the places where i think he can make headway. he has an very well in all of the states where there are large populous of people on disability. what that tells me is that people who feel like they have gotten a raw deal, either in the economy, war in life, are looking at donald trump as a possible way out of their bad circumstances. as a lot of that going on in ohio. less than in other states, but i think ohioans view themselves in general as put upon by the economy. host: we've been talking to

other reporters about the ground game and the infrastructure. does mr. trump have that in order to capitalize on these areas of the state? guest: the ground game is lacking for him. my think the clinton ground game is going to be strongly, especially in the urban counties. i think that is what to be ground that he will have to make up. i'm not sure that structure exists for him here. primaries, obviously, ohio was the state that was being counted upon to stop trump. even the ted cruz campaign was telling republican voters to vote for john kasich, the governor here. that worked out, the vote for john kasich came in fairly strong. he ended up winning the state. the only state he got during the primary cycle. but that tells you i think that trump was under structured here. i think that remains true today. clinton,far as hillary

what areas of the state will should focus on, do you think? how is the state receptive to her in her message? guest: she's going to do well in the columbus area, franklin county, which is where columbus is the county seat has essentially become a government company town. it has trended blue in greater i think she can expect to do well there. she has to do well in cuyahoga county. that has always been the anchor for democrats in ohio. if they do poorly there they generally lose the state. it's a heavily democrat area. hope to cutcan only into democrat success there as

much as they can. they are never going to win the county but if they can come close, then they have a shot at winning ohio. democrats understand well if -- don't win ohio host: what does polling suggested that the sentiment of the state towards these two candidates. i don't think i'm up on pulling at this point. you are going to see convention bounces. i think it is too early for us to figure anything out. thecan't count of libertarian and green party.

host: what do you think the role of governor kasich is right now? role has been -- certainly was true on election primary. he was running his own show for sure. anyn't know if he has intention of endorsing donald trump. some heat from the republican hierarchy for having failed to do that so far. i'm not sure what he will end up doing. i think the party structure will be for him. -- but the person at the top of the structures pretty agnostic.

he likes to cite himself as a maverick. if it is more advantageous for and be ach to sit out, voice from the sideline that is what he will do. host: we have asking our caller to talk to the convention should do you have a best and -- to talk about the convention. do you have a best and worst part of the convention? guest: on the cleveland area person. to holdt job city did

them any demonstrations from getting out of hand. also i'm a conservative so i'm a little biased on this. my favorite part of the democratic convention was the figure part of both convention. the delegates showed a little bit of spirit and weren't going to let themselves be heard. maybe the parties did like it but it was kind of a fun thing. the editorial page editor for the cleveland plain dealer, talking about a month's other things what is going on in the swing state. thank you for your time. we talked to him about the best and worst parts of the convention. what about you?

independence, -- thank you for waiting, go ahead. i just want to know the democratic convention was just about everybody. the united states of america is not the united states of trump. we have widows, they love their husbands. when it comes to republicans convention, it was everything about trump. his plans are like empty talk. no substance. he doesn't have respect for anybody. sixs watching for my -year-old grandson and he was asking why he was so -- why he

was saying some things about people that i had to turn off the tv. he's a bully. he judges people. that is what we want our children and grandchildren to learn? i think he doesn't even worse self in many ways. i didn't learn anything from him. just he is the best of the best, he is acting like a god. -- host: republican line, you are on. >> the worst part was hillary and bill acting like they are so. she don't know what she was talking about. i may return sergeant major.

i'm appalled it didn't call about the current policies in .he military that is putting women in combat. december 2, i'm a proud father of a young man that declined at the last minute to go in the navy. him think was i told , the u.s. military by way of our females in congress 25,000 sexual-harassment charges last year. you definitely don't want to be in that mess. i go on fort gordon here.

and there's not one office you can walk into or one newspaper that doesn't have numerous articles about preventing sexual abuse. host: eddie from oklahoma, democrats line. caller been -- caller: i have seen total turmoil. it was a divided party. i have seen more that the time than i have ever seen in my life. from start to finish i enjoyed every bit of it. athought it was amazing with world of the military four-star marine general to speak his

piece. he did very well. there is only one perfect person on this earth and they crucified him, so no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. host: what was the best part of the democratic convention -- best part of the convention? do you remember something that sticks out in your mind? caller: it is orientated to opinion, every speaker that came , you showed itge on your program. different people, different races, different creeds and colors. everyone one of them are american citizens. here is what we are covering today. the campaign gets fully underway now at noon today in philadelphia you heard our previous guests talk about how

both hillary clinton and tim kaine will be hosting an event in philadelphia and going to other parts of pennsylvania. you can see the philadelphia event. watch for that on c-span. when it comes to donald trump he is in denver colorado. 9:00 tonight is where you will see that. also listen for it on c-span radio. previous caller mentioned about the ability to watch gavel to gavel coverage of these conventions. you are still able to do so. you can watch it on our website at c-span.org. we have archived all that video. see what parts you really like. you can tell us about the best and worst parts right now for the 20 minutes we have left in this program.

and -- for independence best and worst part of the convention. independent line. >> thank you very much for c-span. i'm not sure if he was trying to say they are making the military worse. i do want to apologize to all the females out there. it's what makes the military so diverse. women can basically do anything men can do just as long as we give them the opportunity to. both the republican and democratic convention. the loudest cheer from the crowd was when they were demonizing hillock -- even rising hillary.

it was the message that america was still great and this was still the land of opportunity. i'm not sure if they really know -- their republican [indiscernible] that is just what i noced. host: the connection was getting iffy there. this is ed, hello. i watched both of them and i thought the worst part was paul simon's rendition of bridge over troubled water, i felt really bad for the guy. and the best part of it for me i can't vote for .ueen hillary or king donald

rather than abstain of going to vote libertarian. did you come to that conclusion about not voting for donald trump or hillary clinton, did you come to that by watching the conventions or had you already kind of thought that? caller: i was undecided. the host: what changed your mind, give examples of what you saw or didn't see that changed your mind. i think he's gone. sterling, virginia, republican line. caller: i watched both conventions, i'm a republican, -- ihe only republican voted for bush and obama. he i am trying to figure this out.

i was very impressed with the democratic side first how positive the message was. i understand they tried to show a stark contrast, i understand why you would want to create a burning platform for change. all the doom and gloom and show we need to be great again. i'm worried about that. positivity ofhe the democrat side. wasn'ts i wondered if it disingenuous. especially a lot of the hollywood part of it. me a little or ease

bit paid i like the substance talking about social issues, how we need to short things up. i wish it was more substance bringing both sides together. were so focused on the platform. they lost the opportunity to really help create this and for otherseeds republicans to come on board. feel as close to the republican party at this moment. host: you identified as a how do youbut -- square those two things?

caller: i had to make the best decision. bush in 2000 for because i felt we needed that change from the clintons. we did have a great 90's. afghanistan,aq and i just wanted to vote for bush. i couldn't. i had to vote in another way. i had to vote out of the republican side because i watched too many of my brothers and sisters. i questioned myself. in being fiscally conservative. i do believe we have social issues we have to deal with.

up or go write a check toward -- go to war without the backhand. obama had a really good job addressing the social issues. i really appreciate that. struck -- voter for -- i'm struggling. the veterans that come up, unfortunately those two conventions made the decision harder for me. twitter --

you can comment on the best and worst part about these conventions. on the line, david from colorado. caller: good morning, i'm glad to get through c-span. first i will start with the worst, the negative tone for the republicans. i did not like the mother of that then ghazi victim -- of victim blaming hillary for the death of her son. i thought that was in poor taste. what i didn't like about the democratic convention, i didn't like the democrats bringing out

the victim from trump university and having her blame trump. was just negative and overblown. the trump university is being litigated in the court. host: were the best parts of the convention -- i thought her presentation, i cut -- i could republicanthat at a convention or democratic convention. convention,cratic so many highlights. it was an outstanding presentation. can i say one more thing.

i spent the week of the writingan convention through southwestern colorado, utah, and mexico. hold out parts of the country. i definitely felt the voters and the people and parts of the country like that, americans donald trump is talking to them, those americans. i really hold hope that hillary and tim kaine can talk to those americans as well. thinking about wisconsin, ohio, indiana, and michigan. if those republicans can hear what hillary and tim kaine are talking about, that will produce a better outcome for those -- and a better outcome for those americans.

host: talking about the best and worst parts of the convention. writeups is at speech by william barber of north carolina. the reverend william barber dropped the mic. about the most engaging person -- what he delivered eight years after this brand of liberation, evidence of a long liberal religious patriotism. >> the heart of democracy is on the line this november and beyond. my friends, they tell me that when the heart is in danger somebody has to call an

code.ncy and somebody with a good heart will bring a defibrillator. it is possible to shock a bad heart. season, one some work there hardest to stop the heart of democracy, we are being called to be the moral defibrillator of our time. we must shock this nation with the power of love. we must shock this nation with the power of mercy and fight for justice for all.

we cannot give up on the heart of our democracy, not now, not ever. host: veronica in pennsylvania, republican line. caller: i would like to say the worst was when president obama got up and talked about trumps bankruptcies and his business he himselfne invested in 34 green energy 19 of which went bankrupt. taxpayers money cost 3.8 9 another 6.3 2 billion. he invested in 34 green energy companies. the next thing was michelle

when she said how great america was eight years ago. this was the first time when obama became president. that doesn't sit well with me. either you are a great american or not a great american, you just don't change. i have a lot of respect for the go out and didn't protest -- you didn't see any of the trump supporters go out and protest. a lot of respect to their. mary from pittsburgh pennsylvania. democrats line. it included bernie in

her conversation, what she said about what he is going to do and how they are going to join together. hello? and that she is going to listen to his policies and get along with his policies. their -- look at the expression on bernie's face, he's not a sit back and pretend like politicians do whenever they are talking. he showed determination, he showed honesty. have a position with her. given our things -- that e-mail idea and russia being included and everybody is thinking he's being sarcastic.

he has said so many bad things about us. understand why hispanics are backing someone who does not like skin of color. we need to keep our country strong. sending our jobs and companies over to other countries. said, go toey atlantic city and see how different that is. we used to go up there all the time. they are taking the jobs overseas. she can't say everything. you cannot doubt the former president or presidents.
