say i'm not a socialist, i'm a capitalist. >> how is this going to play out? who has the upper hand here? >> on the labeling, republicans have the,pper hahowever, you have to temper that with the idea that if you look at this poll, 55% of americans say they want government to do more to help them well, that's another way of describing what republicansre calling socialism. people like things like social security and medicare and the desire for more government assistance is why democrats go out on tmp s and talk about free college and medicare for all and more infrastructure. people want some. assistan >> on that note, john harwood in washington. thanks, john. >>ou bet. y'> time to take a look at some of toda upgrades and downgrades. kraft heinz was upgraded. they cite the reasonable oa19 profit following the recent stock plunge.
