here to discuss where the democrats go next and former indiana governor evan bayh. senator, i think all of these candidates that we saw on thursday are talented and any one of them should be able to beat trump, but it feels like many of the candidates think this primary is happening in a vacuum, and it's not moderates and independents and even reps are tuning in, too. do they need to focus less on scoring points on the far left and more on making the case they could beat trump. >> i thought your lead-in was very accurate. it's always a challenge for the candidates who are below the top three, byron, sanders and warren who are better known and it's always a challenge for them to break through and the temptation is to take extreme conditions or attack one of the top three to attempt to do that, but as you point out that takes the spotlight out of donald trump who is the ultimate objective defeating him and it also runs the risk of making you look a little petty and that sort of thing, but for those who aren't the top three it's a little bit like getting down to the en
