scott: had hillary clinton had a poor performance, they think it would have been an opportunity for him to declare the candidacy. if you are rooting for him to run and declare, you might be deterred or dismayed because clinton's performance by most media critics seen by strong, sharm. many people believe it will keep joe biden on the sidelines. we have yet to see that he is making a normal statements. he said he thought everyone performed well and said he was proud of everyone. jonathan: time is running out for that decision. thanks. we will see you when you get back. jonathan: a football feud brewing that you want to check out. a battle that you want to see.
