so i would have to say, she's the only person that can challenge her right now. >> angela rye?ely this is where i agree with rand paul. the person she needs to be most concerned about is bill clinton. it's -- making sure he keeps hi powder dry and saying the right things in the right time is really what matters. i know there's a lot of criticism about whether or not there should even be fundraisers happening for 2016 but democrats are right to keep their eyes on the prize and fight you'uture b clinton can't get in the way. sorry, bill. >> we'll end with you. >> there's only one way go and that's down. even though she said she's not running, i would be concerned of an elizabeth warren or somebody else who can run well to the left of her and get all of excitement and hillary clinton can't muster with the democrat liberal base. >> our power panel, have a fantastic weekend, folks. >> thanks, craig. >> we're going to look at the weekend weather forecast, jackie kucinich mentioned, while we wait, we can always count on moments like this. >> if i blindfolded someone and took him to 2:
