it's similar to the biden situation. i biden situation.influential people in his life is his wife. but he's also hinted at the future. so we don't know. i think that's a fascinating situation. >> how does he look at beto o'rourke? his popularity during the midterm campaign? how does he see him as a potential rival as 2020? >> i spent a lot of time with joe biden. he was one of the most active surrogates. we would talk to his advisers about beto. beto was running his own campaign. but there was some talk on election night with at least one biden adviser about a biden/beto ticket. the strength that biden thinks he brings will obviously his experience, his appeal to working class voters. in beto, that offsets the main liability, which is his age. he just turned 76 this week. obviously the oldest president if he were to win. eyes on wbeto and biden as the biggest wild cards. >> the footage of him walking alongside trying to ask questions. abby, year in texas today. you're often in washington, d.c. what's the lnc, what are the democrat democrat

but joe biden himself said don't do it, this is going to be a wide open field. there is no prototype. there's going to be a knockdown, drag out fight between the progressive and blue collar type candidates. the only thing that may be off the table is the tough guy, kind of like gutter fighter model that a lot of democrats told me right after trump won was what they needed. they would need their own tough guy to go toe to toe. like mark cuban. >> how about cory? i shouldn't say this but i don't think anybody who yells ever wins. dick gephardt was a friend of mine but every time he got to that oration thing, very interesting but he's not the next president. reagan was soft spoken, obama was soft spoken. bill clinton hardly ever yelled. what do you think about cory? who is the guy that's going to go out there and blow the doors off? >> we have a 747 full of candidates coming in. it remains to be seen. as the poll shows, the democratic party is very divided about who they want. undecided is almost as popular as the top candidate as is joe biden who has universal nam

it's where joe biden is going. joe biden was on the next few months deciding if he wants to run. obviously reports he regretted not running in 2016. if he decides to get in there, i think a lot of people are going to clear out and as you saw the number, he's well ahead of bernie sanders, 20 points ahead of him. as a next most serious challenger for the democratic nomination. i think it hinges on joe biden but yeah, 2018 midterms still going on. still picking up seats. i don't know how we are already in this 2020 mass. >> shannon: two biden, beto is getting comparisons to barack obama. politico says bernie and warren have competition. completely changes the game if beto runs. he should. he is barack obama but why did that came from an unnamed democratic fund-raiser. >> that article had an interesting line, noting it hasn't been since abraham lincoln we've had someone who's ascended to the highest office in the land without ever being elected to something in the first place. that's part of the thing i think -- >> shannon: >> he's a congressm. it counts for something. >> he's been w

joe biden's at the top? >> that's right. joe biden. again, this is by total name recognition.ts know. i don't think that's where joe biden ends up in the power rate. i have got a top ten ranking of my own. i have got joe biden kind of in the middle. i think six on that list. he's going to keep falling down. there's some rosy memories of him from the obama administration. but democrats like the new faces, the new voices. he's going to fall by the wayside. >> dana: does it seems time has passed joe biden by? >> i think so. i think he would be older than donald trump. he and bernie sanders would share that distinction. the democratic party is i think hungry for youth and new -- joe biden ran for president in 1988. ran in 2008. i just think third time is probably not the charm. >> dana: jonathan lass all had who he called the rest of the pack. cuomo, mcauliffe, bloomberg, who now said he will be democratic from here on out. i guess avenatti. i'm gonna cross that one off the list. oprah. then unknown. george will wrote over the weekend don't write off john delaney out of maryland.

[laughter] sleep deprivation. mike bloomberg who spent, gosh, what was the total? $100 million. can everything that bloomberg has done on

what about joe biden?dagen: no, joe biden has problems if you talk to democratic fund-raisers, problems with raising money. he was exploring potentially taking on hillary clinton for the nomination. he met with some donors and he has trouble and how many times has he run for the presidency anyway? how many shots as joe biden going to get? what's going happen as they are going to be three dozen people on the debate stage all trying to out-left the next one and they are going to push each other so far to the left it's going to make it really hard for whoever wins the democratic nomination to run against trump. it's not going to be medicare for all. it's going to be what we want the government running the hospitals and paying our doctors and that's not going to fly with the american people. >> dana: i think michael moore is trying to give them really good advice and they will not take it. he knows that the rust belt paf the country very well. trump won those states by a slim margin. michigan, wisconsin, penns

biden or hillary?f you had to pick right now the candidate was going to beat donald trump which one? >> i would pick biden over hillary. hillary will run if she can, but there will be a fresh face because the democrats always want somebody new and different. mark my words. >> laura: new coke, new tide, new, new, new. we have warned you the democrats are going to seek to extend the florida recount by any means necessary they might be getting some help. we are going to take you live to ground zero in broward county next for details. >> trump and scott are attempting to bully the election officials in florida out of doing their jobs. an attempt to win this election. it's just plain wrong. it's un-american. >> in this position, i've been very focused because i want to treat all the voters in broward county the same and i think if you ask the voters, you would find i have that reputation. i don't have a reason to hold anything back. except that i don't want to give out information that is incomplete or inco
