bennet: i am. i have tried to support it in my creating an example of a legislator who works with people on the other side. that has been my machiavellian approach. whether it is rewriting no child left behind or rewriting the fda regulations with richard burr, a republican from north carolina, spending nine months as part of the gang of eta that wrote the immigration bill, for democrats, for republicans, who sat there and passed immigration reform with 60 votes, and to this day, that work continues. that is a way i have tried to support the work. i had my own individual issues with that particular organization that are not important to the group here. it had to do with their endorsing my treasured senior senator -- the opponent against my treasured senior senator, mark udall who lost his race. we have had some bumps in the road. we need to idea that find opportunities to work together i strongly believe in. having said that, i want to point out again that there is this group of people down there w

but that is what happened to michael bennet.t was a yale educated lawyer, at the justice department under president clinton, became managing director at an investment firm run by a really conservative politically active billionaire. bennet was not conservative and not a republican, but he thrived there. made a bunch of money. he did end up becoming managing director. but the public service bug really bit him and when his friend became the mayor of denver, a man by the name of john hickenlooper, you might have heard of him, bennet said yes when the new denver mayor asked him to become his chief of staff at city hall. went on to run the public schools despite not having a background in education. if you need a barometer of how he did, he was the runner-up to be the education secretary for the whole country under president obama. so, yes, mike the bennet may have been a mystery senator when he was appointed in 2009 but he was an impressive mystery, right? what was challenging in terms of the politics is that bennet was only appoint

senator michael bennet, who, by the way, is your guest this morning.you have a new poll out on the race. how are the democrats feeling about all these candidates? >> what's interesting is you see, it's fair to say when you look at the poll that we did, we have been asking not a straight-up horse race question yet because there's too many candidates and it's not fair yet. but how enthusiastic are you about the candidacy of x, y, or z. for instance, joe biden, while he has the highest number calling him enthusiastic about his candidacy, it is a couple points ahead of five or six other candidates. democrats in general are satisfied with the choices they have and yet to fall in one. that is the best way to describe it. biden has a good start but a long way to go. there is enough to choose from. since we will get new york city jumping in, and michael bennet is the 18th. if you can't find a candidate out of 23 flavors, the ice cream to have, you shouldn't eat ice cream. >> it is similar to the republican field just last election. it was so large. >> that is

senator bennet, thank you for being with us. how do you differentiate yourself?ing in the more moderate lane but you voted with president trump too much on judicial picks and not progressive enough supporting medicare for all. do you want to win them over and how do you do that? >> of course i want to win them over and i don't accept that i'm running in a moderate lane. no one has worked harder to create opportunity in america than i have in this race. i spent years before i was in this job working as superintendent at denver public schools and spending every day of my life with teachers and kids and principals in their classrooms trying to take the system that was reinforcing the economic inequality we have in this country and make it better. so, i am, i am actually willing to contend that we need to change what the definition of progressism is in that race. i think it's part of what we need to do as democrats and as americans to make sure we're not the first generation of americans to leave less opportunity to people coming after us. and i think that's a pretty

joining me now is presidential candidate senator michael bennet from colorado.he believes the start of the impeachment process now could mean that democrats would lose in 2020. we will get to that in a moment, senator, but i want to ask you about what we just heard from the attorney general. it's fairly remarkable. he is saying that in the issue of norms it is those who are questioning what happened, investigating the russian attack on the united states in the 2016 election, they are the ones that have been breaking the norms. what's your response? >> i think he's totally wrong about that. i mean, this is a perfect example of why the separation of powers that the founders set up for our country is to important. congress has a very important job to provide oversight here. his observation is that the president is not destroying our institutions falls in the face of half of a term of attacking the free press, attacking the independent judiciary, attacking the department of justice, attacking our intelligence agency. we never have seen this in a president before. >>

colorado senator michael bennet believes congress should be a bit more cautious.enator bennett joins me now from atlanta, georgia. senator, welcome. explain to us why you're not joining this growing list of candidates who call for impeachment proceedings? >> stephanie, thanks for having me. just listening to what bernie said, i think if i had a difference with him, it's only semantic and not important and he's absolutely right to say we should begin an inquiry and take this first step. my only point is if you impeach trump tomorrow, that's a get out of jail card for donald trump and his dream come true. and, frankly, maybe i wouldn't call it an impeachment inquiry, the impeachment committee called the watergate committee because what trump is looking to do here is to say that he was railroaded. the rule of law, it's ironic, because he doesn't believe in the rule of law himself. but he was railroaded for political purposes and he knows his backstop is mitch mcconnell and the republicans in the sena senate. so, by all means, i agree with what bernie said on your pro

and a number of economic issues but if democrats do it michael bennet said it will be a losing issue. can tell you that having works for bill clinton who in 1996 rightfully got credit for a booming economy. there is healthcare, the issue of climate change and the environment and these are issues that help democrats in the midterms in 2018. i was involved in a superpack effort led by mayor michael bloomberg that picked up 24 competitive seats based on the use of healthcare and the environment principally but not limited, issues like guns are also moving for democrats so this is going to be a tough, competitive election and i think the economy will help donald trump and help him a great deal, he's not going to win this election in a landslide based on that one issue alone. shannon: the headline says the economy can't actually save trump by tim mullaney. there is no boom in the american people, most of them are likely to be smart enough to figure that out before the election. we had a number of candidates say that, these things look good on paper but that does not mean it is translating
