maybe joe biden will do his entire campaign only using biden memes. might bloomberg try his hand at flozing? >> at some point you're going to die anyway. >> cortez won't be old enough to run for president until right before 2024, but there might be a cortez of its own. >> i'm so [ bleep ] proud of its o -- of you guys. >>> breaking news, "the new york times" now reporting that former vice president joe widen is in the final stages of deciding whether to run for president. and that he remains skeptical that all the other democrats mulling iran could beat trump in 2020. joining me is jonathan martin of the new york times. when will we know if biden is running or not? >> well, thanks for having me. i think we'll know something within the next month. that's according to numerous biden supporters who say that he does recognize the need to make clear his plans this time. they are acutely sensitive to the criticism that he got four years ago when he dragged out his deliberations for some time and then obviously did not run. and i think they want to make a de

i like joe biden. there's a difference between the joe biden at the pulpit out there giving rhetoric and then the joe biden who was the serious legislator. laura, let's be honest. joe biden has been a bridesmaid in the presidential campaigns to more weddings than liz taylor larry king combined. and yet he's never quite made it. he and mitt romney both share the aspiration to be president without the likelihood that it will ever happen. >> laura: juan, going through some old clips of joe, not the gaffe because it is easy to do. something actually interesting, what he said last, i think it was last february if my memory serves me correct, about border enforcement and the wall. this made me almost like him. let's watch. >> if you had a wall that provided the security that wasn't just an absolute waste of money, meaning national technical means to protected and all these kids had a path to citizenship, i would be inclined to do that. >> you would give trump the political victory in order to get the dreamer

biden may be one of the names that ends up being in there. i think as he's hemming and h hawing and trying to decide, he has to make a case for himself, the way elizabeth warren made a case for herself. joe biden, who ran multiple times, who has eight years in the white house, who has a long political history, he'll have to make that strong case to democrats that he is the person who can be the right candidate for the trump era. not for the 1980s or the 1990s. >> being frontrunner is a dangerous place to start, because there is always the candidate who wins the early primary in 2019. it's difficult. that's why i think governor mcauliffe doesn't mind if joe biden gets in. he can't do much about it, for one thing. joe biden starts with high expectations. >> to that point, ask jeb bush and ted cruz. >>> the president walks back what he said about u.s. troops leaving syria immediately. how the president responds, in a moment. about u.s. troops leavin immediately. how the president responds, in a moment. said about u.s. troops l syria immediately.

biden's big selling is i was part of the obama administration.tates wasn't necessarily because the white voters came out. it's because nonwhite voters didn't come out. and the best person to get those people out in the 2012 vote was barack obama being on the ballot. i think joe biden's selling point is not that i'm a tough guy. >> the bottom coalition. >> i'm obama's today. i was in the obama administration. >> does that still fly in four years -- god, two years. four years. >> i don't think it's going to be enough. i think you have to get the essence of what obama was promising which was change and hope. that's what's going to do it, not the person whose name was next to him on the ticket. you need someone, who, again, is going to say i'm willing to shake up the washington establishment. i can't say it more strongly. every single race since the iraq war has been a change campaign. and we're going to have to get that. >> what's the opposite of donald trump? that's the question. what is the opposite of donald trump? i'll let you guys all think abo

obviously, joe biden is a white male. he doesn't fit into either of those camps. >> any reason for him not to jump into the race? are any of those good reasons? >> i think you run. if you think you can win you run. he is ahead in the polls. it's not just that he is up around 30% of the polls. his favorable ratings are high. to me, i would run if he is interested in running. he has to make that determination for himself. >> he is setting the scene to have every reason to run and not have these potential other vulnerabilities get into his side here. let me talk about elizabeth warren. she is going into iowa this weekend. it is the first state to vote for the nominees. and it's interesting that she and bernie sanders kind of come from a little bit of the same role. she is a woman. she has this populist message. do you think it is fair to compare the two and does she have the advantage because she is a woman? >> i think it is fair to compare them in terms of the space that they occupy, the main issues are very much in the sam

joe biden versus barack obama. once best buddies, we will explain how the 2020 nomination fight could lead to a bitter breakup over the future of the democratic party. first, the crisis of crisis denial. that is the focus on tonight angle.e. getting back from christmas break, hannity is teasing me, i torture myself by reading and watching some of the usual suspects in the media. fake news populated by fake thinkers. there are basically two movements in the coverage. first, the manufactured outrage about what is a partial, and obviously temporary government shutdown.or >> the nations third national park they are also having huge problemsro with garbage, toilet field to capacity. >> park visitors in some places taking care of business along half ways or in the woods. >> the people who are making th are still getting paid , but we have to not get paid and still do her job. >> it's going to come to a poin where you say, but to every ga in my car or do i feed my family . >> they haven't missed a paycheck yet. but by the

host: what is the likelihood of joe biden being part of this field? guest: it sounds like it of 50-50 and he is mulling it over as we speak. someone like biden doesn't get need to get in as early because he has the name i.d. he will probably be able to build up an organization. in fact, he kind of has an organization right now in the post vice presidential life. so we are still waiting to see, but you look at all these democrats, there is no one in the field who is the clearly dominant figure, and therefore i think that would lead to more candidates getting in as opposed to fewer candidates. we are hearing about house members getting in, traditionally house members do not do a lot in presidential contest. house members, senators, governors, people who might not be in government, like michael bloomberg, the former mayor of new york city. some other folks may decide to get in. i do think it will be a pretty big field. you mentioned michael bloomberg. he made a comment on one of the sunday shows about his ambitions and what he would like to. let's hear f

someone like biden doesn't get as early because he has the name i.d. he will probably be able to build up organization. in fact, he kind of has an organization right now in the life.ice president so we are still waiting to see. but gain, you lack at all the is no within in the field who is clearly therefore,gure, and i would think that would lead to more candidates getting in as opposed to fewer. about houseg getting in, you know, generally house members don't do that much in presidential's contest and house members, senators, governors, perhaps people who are not in government someone like michael bloomberg who is former mayor of otherrk city, and some folks may decide to get in and so you know, i do think it is a pretty big field. >> host: you mentioned michael bloomberg them? a comment about what he would like to see you see. that.hear from >>> um, there is no rush to do it. everybody wants to know what you the bottomo do and in line is, i am not sure yet. issues.bout a bunch of care for my kids. i care for this conly that has been so good to me and

>>> joe biden is back in the arena. no clues on his 2020 decision but gaffe and his bipartisan stin instinc instincts. >> nobody doubts that i mean what i say, the problem is i often say what i mean. nobody has accused me of being coy. i read in the "new york times" that one of my problems is if i were to ever run for president, i like republicans. bless me, father, for i have sinned. >> back to politics in a moment, but we begin with a big and important new marker from the senate intelligence committee. a source close to the former trump attorney michael cohen telling cnn the intelligence committee has now subpoenaed cohen to appear in mid-february and to testify about what he knows about the president. the questions no doubt will include this: what did the president say to you, if anything, when you discussed your testimony to congress, and what you knew in that testimony to be lies? cohen just canceled on the house oversight committee, pulling out of testimony. he talked about unspecified threats to his family. the s

joe biden leads in the polling for the democratic nominee among likely democratic caucus goers, joe bidenat 32%, bernie sanders in second at 19 and beto o'rourke is at 11%. that to me, harry, is the story of this poll. is that beto, a guy who has never campaigned in iowa, you know, a few weeks off of losing for a race in texas is the only other guy in double digits. >> you look at the name recognition numbers in that particular poll and joe biden and bernie sanders pretty much everybody knows who they are, but very few people or there are many people who don't know who beto o'rourke is. the fact that he has broken into double digits to me is just another example that he has a lot of energy in the democratic base, but of course, remember, he just ran in texas. let's see him actually get out on the national campaign trail and see if he can keep that momentum going. let's see him get actually tested by other democrats about his record because, for example, if you look at his record it's not exactly the most progressive among democrats nationwide and if he actually gets attacked from the left

i love joe biden.t challenge for him will be that a campaign in 2020 is dramatically different than it was in 2012 just in terms of the mechanics of how you run, how you raise money, how you work with voters. so in addition to all of the other questions he has to ask himself is most guys want to be the president. they don't want to do the campaigning. i think it will be pretty brutal. >> i think we should ask how come he doesn't know yet? if there is anybody that should know it should be joe biden. you have been vice president. you run for president before. you know what it's like. the fact that they are doing this routine is silly. the person that i think can get voters that joe biden can get that has already signalled that he will make a decision independent of joe biden's running is mccl. saying that he is going to consider it. i think he is a democrat that has potential to get republican voters. he has been the governor of a purple state. he sort of talks about pushing back against the fringe left.

where is the biden case for biden? his biggest appeal is that he was vice president to barack obama. president obama's legacy lives on in the democratic party. he remains very popular. as does his wife, or former first lady, michelle obama. biden's association with obama and that whole brand is powerful. but the joe biden brand solo has had difficulties in the past. he ran for president in 1988. he tried 10 years ago. he tried multiple times over the last few decades. never really caught on. it was only as a vice presidential candidate he struck gold and caught fire with president obama on the campaign trail. he is seen as someone who can connect with voters. working-class voters, like where he grew up in scranton, pennsylvania, the industrial midwest. that is a place where the democrats need to come back and win michigan, ohio, pennsylvania. but he's not the only person out there. sherrod brown. senator klobuchar of minnesota. these are all people talking about those voters. even the senate democrat from pennsylvania

. >>> plus, the new headline haunting joe biden. why did he get paid $200,000 to do a speech and right before election day and why did it help elect a republican? he's hitting back this morning. we're talking about all of that with our team set up and ready to go. but we start here in washington where the senate is expected to do its latest kabuki dance today voting on two bills that look to have a zero percent chance of passing. here's how the president's former economic adviser gary cohn reacted to the shutdown a couple of minutes ago in a conversation with our stephanie ruhle. >> the government should be open. to put 800,000 government employees out of work, if you fight over a wall and immigration, we need immigration in the united states. we need legal immigration in the united states. the united states has been built on immigration and that's how we've grown our economy. that's how we continue to create jobs. >> to provide for them, it's making -- it's just making fee feel like i'm breaking my promise. and i'm not trying to br

i think it's too easy to say biden.hey think cory booker is going to run, right? i don't think that's certain. >> you think it's less certain than people think? >> less certain than people think. it is hard to run for president and she just came in the senate. it's a hard thing to do. >> i'm going to reverse the question. you get three tickets. if you could have three tickets, you know, say one of the three will be the nominee. if you could give three candidates to pick, who would it be? i'll give you three. go first. quickly. i'm trying to wrap up a show here. pick a trio. >> brian, kamla harris and brown. >> sherrod brown. >> i think o'rourke, harris an klobuchar. >> i'll say brown and i would love there to be a woman, but i'm skeptical. i'll say harry. >> my three tickets, i already said this on another show. betto, warren and harris. let me go to other predictions here. i asked you, of three candidates, biden, sanders and warren, who will be an active candidate on december 31st, 2019 when we do the show again? >> el

and then hunter biden gave a statement to vanity fair talking about hunter biden had his own personalues. he sort of alludes to it, and he doesn't say this, but let me put up part of what he says. i'm going to read part. you ask me whether my father might not run for president because of reports about me in the news. what you fail to realize in asking such a question is my father has always been proud of me, whether i was volunteering for the jesuits or working as a lawyer. he's proud of me today and loves me. it doesn't say anything other than it's sending a signal, we're ready for the campaign. >> i think that's right and they're smart enough to know that no questions about the crime bill and about his past statements and past record are going to come up so you might as well get ahead of it. >> thirs is the first day i assumed maybe he will run. this looks like they're preparing for it. >> the second thing today was "the new york times" story about south carolina as the gateway to super tuesday and talking about the great respect and affection and loyalty that a lot of elected offic

for joe biden and be loud and proud about it.hink biden with a vp ticket with beto makes the best chance for the democrats no matter what. i know it's two white dudes, but i think it's the best paths. i know democrat who is would not vote for elizabeth warren. they need to do the brave thing. >> what do you think about joe biden? also hearing the folks chime in and throw their support behind him even though officially he is not running and still considering at least officially at this point what to do. >> if i were a senior senator from california, i happened to think the democratic voters are looking for the next generation of leadership like beto o'rourke, cory booker and maybe senator gillibrand. i don't think they will go with anything generic. i think they want something fresh and new. i don't see it. i think elizabeth warren is a total gift to donald trump. a lot of republicans who are leery and looking for an alternative, but elizabeth warren can't do that. i think they want something new and fresh. >> it's not just whethe

biden. our panel is back.bviously president obama is going to say i'm going to turn my back on biden again. i'm disloyal to a man who has been a friend to me and would maintain my legacy. and you had a soft spot for biden in 2014. >> i did have a soft spot. it requires some context obviously. no, look. the president was talking about other things in a different context. it's likely he wasn't referring to the presidential election here at home. even still, the 2020 race already has me just this perpetual migraine. i'm contemplating move to new zealand and it's not just because there are 30 people running for office and i have no idea what they want. it's because i actually know what they want. and for the most part my expectation is i'll hear an echo chamber of everyone saying the same stuff all over again and quite frankly it's the same stuff that the president was saying. it's all about what the corporations are doing and how they're against us and how these people have all of the answers. elizabeth warren is

i would vote for joe biden today.nds thousand govern but it is nothing what we are suffering right now with a president that was challenged and ideals. the problem is that democrat, there is going to be an internal struggle when you this side that wants a fresh progressive very left wing ideas. first is someone like biden who understands how to govern and how to win and has access to the money you need to win and raise it but how is he going to breakthrough when you have 20 plus people running? >> yes. dozens of democrats. us a ready but not always paid apparently. blasting the federal government as american service members are being forced to go to food pantries. stay with us. hi i'm joan lunden. today's senior living communities have never been better, with amazing amenities like movie theaters, exercise rooms and swimming pools, public cafes, bars and bistros even pet care services. and there's never been an easier way to get great advice. a place for mom is a free service that pairs you with a local advisor to hel

vice president joe biden. [applause] biden: i have an announcement to make.not one of the famous flames. those of you know james brown. good morning, everyone. thank you for the introduction. folks, the one title i can claim is i am mr. amtrak. you, people the press will tell you, they keep the records of how many miles you are flying in an air force plane. about x .5 years in, the headlines of the paper was biden travels over one million miles an air force two. i try to go home and see my mom every friday and i didn't want to take that. cost too much money. secret service did not like the train to a they thought it was more dangerous. i'm getting on the train and one of the senior guys on the road i had been writing since 1973 came up and grabbed me and said jelly, jelly. the secret service was going to shoot him. he said a million miles, big deal. the boys and i figured out how many miles you travel on average. i said you did and he said yes. the average is 119 days a for 36 years and as vice president, we figured it thousand 210 roundtrips. 259 miles a day

biden.uotes the former vp as saying this, if you can persuade me there is somebody better who can win i'm happy not to do it, but i don't see a candidate who can clearly do what has to be done to win. christina grier is associate professor, and kurt man dalla, is a republican turned democrat for the house oversight committee. we'll start with you, professor. what do you make of that statement by an ally of mr. biden. >> so many gender cuts in that statement, as well. i think democrats definitely want someone who can beat trump, but that's not the only qualification. someone is going to have to put forward some ideas. you can't just be i'm the candidate against trump. what are we doing about flint? what are we doing about puerto rico and the border and the caravan crisis? we want a candidate who has a substantive policy agenda and not just -- >> do we want ideas? >> i mean, hopefully so. >> have we not become a culture that is obsessed with personality? >> there are sort of two things and a l

that said, the biden people caution, they say this is not final until biden himself says it. his family concerns are still central. so this is not a done deal. he has not told his advisers that he's going to run, but from people who did speak directly themselves to biden, that we talked to, he does sound like someone who wants to make what will be his third campaign for president of the united states. >> josh, you have some reporting on elizabeth warren. >> i spent the weekend with warren in iowa on her inaugural trip as a likely presidential candidate. i think the fact that warren got in the race so early is putting pressure on people like biden and other contenders to jump in. the 2020 race has started. warren had five campaign stops over three days. drew huge crowds. got a rapturous reception. things are under way and off and running. right now warren is the standard bearer for the liberal, populist wing of the country. that message was out there. biden will probably be the front-runner, at least initially, but he'll represent a more moderate throwback style democratic cen

joe biden apparently does not like democrats in 2020 unless the nominee is joe biden.f you can persuade me there is somebody who can win, i'm happy not to do it but i don't see a candidate who can clearly do what has to be done to win. donors and other democratic potentials are waiting to see what biden is going to do including sherrod brown, believing to appeal to the same rust belt voters a biden campaign would depend on. biden's wife told cnn a decision might be a ways away. >> i think we're going to know within the next two months. i mean, we have to. >> reporter: billionaire tom steyer is coming to iowa. blanketing air waves this weekend during nfl playoff games with a strong anti-trump ad. >> the kweu isn't whether she should be impeached. he's the most corrupt president in history and we know it. >> reporter: senator elizabeth warren drew big crowds during her three day trip to iowa and found some likely caucus goers are still wrong because they don't think bernie sanders got a fair shake in the 2016 caucuses. >> i'm not relitigating 2016. but, i think right now

terry mcauliffe has not been shy and they're all waiting on what will joe biden do because joe bidensuck a lot of energy from that centrist white male constituency >> i think the former vice president from what i understand is thinking long and hard about this from what i understand he really wants to do it, but it's one of those things where do you actually jump in this would be, what? his third run for the presidency i think there are people -- a lot of people who love and admire the vice president, some who are trying to advise him who would love for him to hang back and play the role of statesman and kingmaker. imagine if joe biden didn't get into the race and said to people i know why you wanted me to run because i am the one who can talk to the midwest and talk to white working class voters, but i'm not getting in this race, but let me tell you something i am going to talk to every candidate and i want them to pr prove to me that they is your interest at heart. a joe biden stamp of approval as statesman could be pretty powerful thing to have both domestic, but let's not forget,

senator biden was twisting arms to get the bankruptcy bill through congress. warren stopped brlogging in 200. >>> joining us from washington is coauthor of the politico play book. let's talk about this "new york times" latest reporting on president trump's campaign promise of a wall, which was originally proposed it seems as a memory trick to talk more about immigration than the wall. how is now this idea spun out, daniel, to create the third longest shut down in u.s. history? >> trump has gotten boxed in by building the wall, and it was an easy thing for him to say during the campaigns. he started saying it in 2014. sam nunberg would remind him to mention it. he would sometimes forget to talk about immigration, and he

a close biden ally tells cnn that the former v.p. indicated that he is leaning toward a run and hoped to reach a decision with family over the holidays. so far no word. but the ale lally says biden be that he could beat trump. some worry his uncertainty about running may be a sign that the 76-year-old doesn't have passion to mount another campaign. biden says even if he decides in january, he would wait to announce it. >>> elizabeth warren looking to gain early momentum for a possible white house run in 2020. the massachusetts senator canvassing the state of iowa over the weekend. and she was confronted by a voter in sioux city who criticized her decision to take a dna test to prove her claims of native american ancestry. >> i am not a person of color. i am not a citizen of a tribe. when i first ran for public office, the first time was in 2012 and the republicans honed in on this part of my history and thought that he this could make a lot of hay out of it. a lot of racial slurs and a lot of ugly stuff that went on. and so my divisi

joe biden. is he in or out? to 2020 and the democrats now and some brand new cnn reporting on joe biden's deliberation. cnn spoke to more than two dozen aide and supporters of the former vice president. they detail family concerns, biden's painful memories of his two failed presidential runs and his assessment of the 2020 race. strongly leading in is the big takeaway. one supporter of biden saying, quote, his thinking is centered around one thought. there has to be a new president. that's what his campaign would be about. jeff zeleny a big part of that reporting and he joins me in the conversation. you read it, you give an impression of everybody around him and your instinct is this is for me, but -- >> we know he wants to be president. that's been true for a very long time. we know his team is in place should he make that decision. but we're told talking to a variety of people he has not yet made that decision. but his aides and operatives are talking to people in iowa, in new hampshire, in south carolina to ge

what do you think of biden's approach?ery candidate will try -- >> biden supported the iraq war. >> every candidate will make the argument they're the one most electable. coming out there, having your message out there before you are, it is more advance than "new york times," he is talking victory rather than vision. that's not what you want to talk about now. voters in the democratic primary are tired of being told who is the most electable candidate. every four years they're told who is most electable. >> nobody has any idea. >> anybody can beat trump, anybody can lose to trump. pick the one you think is best. >> biden can make the case on electability. probably among the best to stop the bleeding with noncollege educated white voters, reconstitute the obama coalition. his problem is he has a 36 year record in the senate, lot of votes that look bad to democratic voters if you bring them up. not just the iraq war, crime bill, anita hill hearings. he pushed a bankruptcy bill. there will there will be economic populists tha

but biden has a lot going for him this time. argument he's going to make -- and i talked to a democrat who thinks he's going to announce in the next two or three weeks, leaning towards yes. the case he can make the democratic voters desperate to win this election and be president trump is "i can hold to give the people who voted for hillary, and i could peel off a few of the people who voted for trump." some of the democrats feel -- >> harris: can he get to burning people? that was a growing -- >> guy: hillary got a number of them, but -- >> guy: but the bernie lane is split amongst millions of people. he's going to be singularly on his own in this lane unless somebody like sherrod brown runs from ohio. he was younger than joe biden and offers the same kind of thing. >> harris: let's take a look at this polling from abc. donald trump wins the republican nomination, 28% would vote for the current president. 14% would consider it. 56% won't vote for trump. what do you make of it? >> melissa: 56% of republicans in that pole? >> har

i tied with joe biden. he got one vote. it's fun to watch. it was more fun to watch the democrat side because they had fractures over there that you are starting to see. some of their members who are to the left of nancy pelosi, if you can imagine that, they were fracturing away from her. she was able to hang on in the speaker vote and that's where all the drama was. >> shannon: more drama tonight. you were on the hill voting on measures to get the government reopened. obviously the democrats are in control. what they offer up is not going to be the ideal package. this goes to the senate now. the president has said he will not sign it without wall funding. nancy pelosi said you get $0 for the wall. how do you resolve it? 800,000 federal government workers wait for a solution. >> i think we forget the cartoon we watched, schoolhouse rock. when the senate passes a bill in the house passes a bill dealing with the same topic in their differences, they both appoint members to a conference committee will go together and negotiate a compromise bill

let's take the biden question. would biden be a good person to run against? it would be for trump and many in the democratic party are looking to the left. they are looking for someone like rocco, two stand out there and someone who engages them on the issues they care about. >> or as much as the right grew to hate barack obama and his policies, it was a relatively centrist message and in fact most of what he taught about wasn't really specific aggressive policy. some unlike beto o'rourke who allows others to paint his policies on his message. >> we will watch what happens with beto o'rourke. he will have an interview in early february. >> he's doing it. >> he's doing that, getting out there without. the democrats are looking for someone like bernie sanders. a lot of people ask is he going to run again. he was the one who came across and took things. i have a friend who's a professor and he said all of a sudden he saw these stickers. >> 2016 as we covered the race, we used to look for what we thought was the impossible interview, which was going to be a berni

neil: i got you. >> frankly i, frankly i like joe biden a lot. it is up to him obviously whether he runs or not but frankly if he does, i'm a joe biden man. think he would be a very good president. neil: it will veck crowded field though, isn't it? >> it could be. it is crowded right now. when things get started there will be several who will drop off. a lot will drop like flies i think after several months. neil: we forget that. sometimes you have to have a very crowded contest, but within months, not so crowded. we'll watch it closely. ambassador, thank you very, happy new year. >> thank you very much. happy new year. neil: a lot of issues are going along for the ride, including financials. a lot of those exposed to a deal with china if that were materialize, the bowings, caterpillars, et cetera. so hope springs eternal. more after this. neil: 17 days in, are you ready for a record? only days from one that would bring the 1995 record that bedeviled republicans and democrats when bill clinton was president and republicans forced the issue under

joe biden is publicly considering it. up to maybe twenty other democrats here when i see happening over the next two years is a form of cannibalization and balkanization of the democratic party essentially identity politics on acid and it's going to be a real ride what are your thoughts at this very very early point alex. well i think that elizabeth warren definitely like speer. thought i was there at that. she has no understanding of social media she has no understanding how it's used i think she saw what. cortez did by using social media to really propellor self into the spotlight and in a very failed attempt to use instagram war it failed tremendously she has no chance peter i think you're exactly right we don't have a front runner right now for the democrats i don't think biden can be trouble that the only person that could be trump at this moment is trump and it goes back to our first segment which is if he doesn't follow through on his campaign promises he is going to be in trouble at this moment in time the only pe

joe biden, the former vice president. to share with you times reporting and then what nbc learned about the plans. "the times" says he'll make a decision in the next two weeks. and that he sees himself as the democrat's best hope in beating president trump. if you watch this show, you'll know there are other high profile democrats who agree with that sentiment. debate around mr. biden's possible candidacy illustrates the dueling visions in the party. some democrats think a candidate like biden would have a message of unity and national healing rather than uncompromising brand of of -- biden style will be a losing style of politics was another view. >> i think what's interesting is biden is basically -- it's not a compelling argument. i guess i'll run because nobody else can do it. i'm the only one. >> wouldn't that be the most compelling argument? >> i mean, i guess so. if you're out there -- >> depending on how you look at it. if you're trying to get activists fired up. he's not saying i'm ready and here, this is the rea

that they know joe biden.ffe coming that may surprise them, but joe biden, they feel like they know. they feel like they know president trump. >> morgan: i'm going to go out on a limb, here. i don't think there's any way that joe biden is the democratic nominee. it doesn't mean i don't think he's qualified pretty clearly he is, he is certainly qualified. he's very likable. i like them, personally. i just don't think this is where the energy of the democratic party is at all. let's just wait and see until he announces. what bernie sanders and the bernie brose do, what elizabeth warren does dan. trumbull get near him, because i think warren and sanders are going to go after him. anybody else who is -- >> brian: guess who else agrees with your customer and president obama. he's going to endorse him and pass. you know what he said in hawaii? they need fresh blood. he also -- he said "you can't beat hillary clinton." now you know something about joe biden that nobody else knows. they are friends come up the media k

here is why i think people are under estimating joe biden. i'm not saying he's the right candidate for 2020. but i think he's got a serious legitimate shot, not because of former vice president and not because he's got the highest name i.d. but because i think the paradox has shifted a bit in our politics. i don't think most americans are arguing and i think you would agree with this, i don't think most americans sitting around the kitchen table who is the most left or the most right. the paradigm has shifted over the past decade or so two inverses out. people feel alienated, not just washington but wall street and from silicon valley and from the media and higher education in just about every major institution. they are looking for someone to come -- code >> that's that's where i disagree. >> let me finish, authentic champion for you. joe biden gets that and he understands the paradigm ship but will he be the right messenger? he knows the right match and i think he would go into these places like wisconsin, the places donald trump one becaus
