and george clooney than donald trump. >> a major difference.n you look at george clooney, you're looking at someone who is clearly, although there is clearly politics involved, he is a political person. at the same time, they don't see him necessarily as someone running for office. someone who is an elected official or someone who is a political bent even though he is. he is a hollywood celebrity. he is on the "a" list. when you look at donald trump, not only are you looking at a celebrity, you're looking at a politician, or a political wannabe. if you're associating with him. someone who has views to say the least, and i'm being very charitable, can be considered very controversial, if not outright kooky and za zinni, there is a huge risk. mitt romney has been challenged time and time again. why are you going in that direction? is there some connection we need to know about? in that sense, it could back fire how many. >> real quickly, i want to get to this. a lot of eyes will be on this. president obama has voiced his support for democrat stev
