hillary clinton is in the white house now. let's start with her relationship with the hill which has been one of the most disappointing aspects of the obama years, not through his own fault that through the deadlock between congress and the white house. can we expect hillary to do better than obama? >> i vote for -- perhaps her greatest strength both because of the experience she had in that second administration working with opponents and passing a lot of domestic legislation and her full term in the senate which from the get-go she reached out across the aisle. click she is one of them and had a pretty successful turn. >> there are too many moving parts. it is hard to know what the composition of congress will be in 2017. will the democrats get control of the senate, that is an open question. the house is locked in for 10 years to republican control because of gerrymandering and those guys are pretty immune to hillary clinton's charms. she was popular in private with republicans but then they would go home and bash her to th

-- president clinton? and i said, sir, i have known him for a long, long time. he was up at west point, he said, and he said you are one of his friends. i just wanted to know. so he had a long shadow. i had actually met bill clinton when he was, i went to georgetown university for the conference on atlantic discussions, and i was a first glassman at west point, and i had gone down there, and it was the last -- first glassman -- classman at west point, and i had gone down there, and it was the last thing is going to do before becoming a rhodes scholar, and this girl said our you from arkansas, and i said yes, and she said there is somebody here from arkansas, and he is bill clinton. and i sit idle think he is from arkansas, and she said he is from arkansas because he talks about watermelons and stuff like this.

arkansas, the home of the clintons. office anymore on a statewide level. just not one. >> and look at the guy who just won the senate seat in arkansas who's a guy who represents the whole -- i mean, he's jim weshbb on the republican side. that's exactly the kind of constituency that republicans appeal to now. and that's why jim webb is such an odd man out on the democratic side. it's not only that the obama party is constructive of other constituencies, it's also a matter of policy. you've got the urban elites on the coast who determine the policy of the party. who dominated in congress and who dominated in the think tanks, who dominate in ideas. one example, when obama, kerry, and others talk about the biggest challenge to america as being climate change or on the matter of policy, the vetoing of the keystone pipeline in and of itself, a very small issue but it's a stark representation of the extreme left on the environment against unions workers, real infrastructure exactly the kind of things democrats used to actuall

hillary clinton is in the white house now. let's start with her relationship with the hill which has been one of the most disappointing aspects of the obama years, not through his own fault that through the deadlock between congress and the white house. can we expect hillary to do better than obama? >> i vote for -- perhaps her greatest strength both because of the experience she had in that second administration working with opponents and passing a lot of domestic legislation and her full term in the senate which from the get-go she reached out across the aisle. >> she is one of them and had a pretty successful turn. >> there are too many moving parts. it is hard to know what the composition of congress will be in 2017. will the democrats get control of the senate, that is an open question. the house is locked in for 10 years to republican control because of gerrymandering and those guys are pretty immune to hillary clinton's charms. she was popular in private with republicans but then they would go home and bash her to their
