this, so this week here in washington, they're taking full advantage. >> with all due respect to hillary clinton, it does make a difference. why they died. >> they're laying the groundwork to put another clinton back in the white house. we will be happy to tell hillary clinton in unmistakable terms we know what difference it makes even if you don't. >> hillary as a person may be electable. hillary as heir to the obama administration's record of failure is something else. >> well, you know, our old friend, our mutual friend zell miller, one of my mentors in life used to say a hit dog barks. the reason they're all barking at hillary is they fear her. >> sometimes the hit dog is right and then the bus is in trouble. we can trade georgisms later. in the "crossfire" tonight, the president of emily's list and hillary clinton supporter and the president of citizens united. since you're the guest host, you get the first opportunity here. >> well, great, thank you. first, thanks for having me. lovely to be co-hosting again, david, happy it's you and not jon stewart sitting opposite from me. >> see how yo

i suspect that hillary clinton would to run, she and bill clinton when confronted by things from the past, you will hear some version of that from the clintons and their supporters. host: this is kelly from oregon. democrats line. go ahead. youer: mr. halperin, thank for defusing the vitriolic collars. you handle them very well. i would like to say, i support hillary clinton 100%. i will be proud to vote for her. i want to say, she is going to be the next president, but also given that black men were given the right to vote 70 years before any women were, i would have liked to have seen a woman get elected before a black person. 70 years is like three generations. before white men give their wives and daughters a chance to vote. i don't know, i think we are way overdue for a woman president. i think hillary would be wonderful. i hope she decides to continue to make the world a better place. i could also see if she did not want to, that would be ok. guest: the caller's monologue is very representative of what a lot of women feel. particularly the issue of history. if you look at the o

the headline, but not very quiet campaign for hillary clinton. give us some background on what this is about. >> well, you know, this is one of the strangest presidential campaigns a potential presidential campaigns we have seen. secretary clinton has not made it clear that she will run, although most of the people around her suspect she will be caught up and the momentum of this and will run. this is a super packaging that has been organized by young supporters of for now being advised by an older supporters that is doing something no super pak has ever done at the presidential level, doing grassroots organizing, not what we think of them as doing normally, which is getting big checks, million dollar checks or more from all the donors to pay for television advertising. this is an attempt to address what was hillary clinton's biggest weakness as a candidate against barack obama in 2008 when she ran for president which is building a grass-roots organization all over the country which has a helps you not just when the nomination but if you can keep

, like these stories are really about hillary clinton and the press. >> this makes hillary clinton look old. she has been around for a long, long time. she has been through many different campaigns. a social media guru said big isn't big anymore. fur a candidate who has all of this experience you probably are not going to hit it with the internet able. >> the idea that politicians get advise on how to deal with press is like what politician doesn't? everyone wants to seem real. >> in 2008 she was aware of the national media and cautious and she will have to deal with that if she runs. another topic i want to squeeze in, bill o'reilly went to the white house in support of the initiative by the president called my brother's keeper to help young black or young minority men dealing with the family of dysfunctional families, an odd couldn't, right, even the president said, o'reilly and al sharpton are in the same room. the lion can lay down with the lamb. who is who? this goes back to the president obama who burst on the national stage of 2004 who appeals to both sides of the aisle. >> talk

here's what you had to say last week about hillary clinton. s important for leadership now to explain to them why they're hurting and how we can grow the middle class. i don't think that is the politics of senator clinton or the democratic establishment. is hillary clinton not the right choice for the democratic party? >> i've known hillary clinton for many years, she's a friend. i like hillary clinton. the issue -- and i think rick touched on this -- >> yeah. >> what we need to do is not attacking people, we need to be analyzing what the problems are in this country and coming up with real solutions. and i have to say the media very often doesn't help us in that. the issue here is the collapse of the middle class and the fact that we have more people living in poverty than ever before. >> right, the goldman sachs walmart candidate hillary clinton -- >> not just hillary clinton. goldman sachs and wall street play an enormous role in terms of both political parties. very little legislation will get through the congress that is not approved by co

know anything about the shadow campaign for hillary clinton when you were chairman? >> but mcauliffe did not want to talk about that either. >> reporter: governor, did you know anything about the shadow campaign? >> prosecutors say there is no evidence that hillary clinton knew anything about thompson's shadow campaign, but that may not end it for mcauliffe. >> he better watch himself because if this issue gets bigger, people will look to terry mcauliffe who is the clinton's fund raising guy and if he didn't know, why didn't he know? >> again the u.s. attorney says there's no evidence hillary clinton who he does not name knew about thompson's shadow campaign, but that doesn't mean that want u.s. attorney's investigation of that presidential -- that that u.s. attorney's investigation of that presidential campaign is over. he spent three years going after mayor vincent gray and there's certainly the possibility he'll release more information about hillary clinton's campaign just as she is gearing up to run again in 2016. >> are you sure mcauliffe heard you? he walked a

biden ticket and i think that could significantly hurt senator biden if he decides to run whether hillary clinton not and the other thing i would add is i sort of disagree with governor rendell that if mrs. clinton decides not to run that joe biden steps right in as number one. i think that the country looking for something different. i think senator gillibrand out of new york has done a phenomenal job as a senator and i think that there is room for her to do what barack obama did in 2016, come from nowhere. she has taken a huge leadership role in talking about military sexual assault and other issues. >> yeah, i don't think those are contradictory. i agree with both of you. i agree that a lot of people who know joe biden would support him up front but i believe gillibrand is ready to go. absolutely ready to go. >> she is, but, chris, she won't get the vice presidential one on one which will be a problem. there will be four or five candidates in there. the vice president would have a tremendous advantage. i agree with michelle, he has the burden of carrying some of the obama biden policies but in

hillary clinton said russia's actions are like what putin did. 60% say yes, 30% say no. ssman engel last night i asked governor howard dean if the failed russian reset that hillary helped oversea is going to come back to haunt her if she runs in 2016. he said that that was a question that was out of bounds. are we going to be allowed to bring up her record if she runs or is that off limits, too. >> i hope you bring up her record because i think she was one of the most outstanding secretaries of state in our lifetime. >> fair enough. i think her record is unlimits. >> and the american public also agrees. incredibly popular. i want to thank our guests. the debate will continue on cnn.com/crossfire. from the left i'm dan jones. >> and from the right i'm s.e. cup. erin burnett "out front" starts erin burnett "out front" starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> next, u.s. intelligence caught off guard by the crisis in ukraine. serious new questions tonight about when the united states knew about a russian invasion. >>> plus, a mother drives a van with three

in "time,"ent piece the not very quiet campaign for hillary clinton. give us some background. this is one of the strangest potential presidential campaigns we have seen. secretary clinton has not made it clear she is going to run. most people suspect she will be caught up in the momentum of this and will run. this is a super pac that has been organized by young supporters of her, now being advised by older supporters. doing something no super pac has ever done at the presidential level. doing grassroots organizing. not what we think of sewer facts as doing normally, which is from wealthyhecks donors to pay for television advertising. this is an attempt to address was hillary clinton's biggest weakness as a candidate against barack obama in 2008. which is building a grassroots organization all over the country. as president obama showed in 2008, this helps you win the nomination. if you can keep those activists engage, you can more directly from the nomination, primaries, and caucuses, into the general election. what i found in reporting this story is that hillary clinton, she

i know generally it's hillary clinton, generally the administration. actually trying to get the voter out there to believe secretary clinton did or did not the night of this tragedy in realtime? what are they saying she did or didn't do? >> chris, first, thanks for having me on. what i would say, as you said, it's a two-prong target. first off they're going after hillary clinton because they correctly recognize that republicans, this is the only thing they have that touched her. and they want to go after the administration because when you're the party out of power it helps to have a scandal to charge the white house with. what they're suggesting here, though, what chairman issa is suggesting, again, he is not really asserting things because he didn't have the evidence for it. so he is saying things like i suspect hillary clinton did this or my suspicion is that hillary clinton did this. >> what? >> one of the things he is saying is that hillary clinton ordered leon panetta, the secretary of defense at the time to stand down and not help the americans

on their incredible achievement on the book "hrc: state secrets and the rebirth of hillary clinton". jonathen allen and amie parnes are appreciative of your support. thank you for coming out. jonathen allen and amie parnes, make a few comments, probably nobody more interesting in american political life than hillary clinton. she has inspired a great deal of curiosity. presidential candidate, secretary of state. jonathen allen and amie parnes have it all. i don't know how many of you knows this but "hrc: state secrets and the rebirth of hillary clinton" hit the best-seller list, number 6 spot for nonfiction. [applause] >> big hand for that. the book is absolutely terrific. just a few words on jonathen allen and then we will talk about amie parnes. many of you know bloomberg news hired john a couple weeks before the book came out. it was my fastest and perhaps my smartest tire ever. not many reporters you hired immediately went on the best-seller list. it was easy to fall in love with jonathen allen. he is warm and funny, i asked him why he decided to write a book about hillary. he tol

hillary? i haven't seen this for a nonsitting vice president you know this far out. is your goal to clear the field for hill tri-clinton that she will not face primary opposition? >> our goal is to show her the support that she will have if she decides to run. we don't know. we don't know what hillary will do. we don't know what the vice president will do. we can sit and speculate but we want to encourage hillary to run and be ready in the event that she does to support her with now 2 million supporter ps. last time i sat on your show wer were at 100,000 np now at nearly 2 million.

david brock came to prominence as the right wing enemy of bill and hillary clinton. n life seemed to be destroy the clintons. last night he returned to little rock, arkansas delivering an address called countering the culture of clinton hating. let's watch. >> i was part of what hillary clinton would later call the vast right wing conspiracy. when plus clinton made that remark back in the late 1990s insiders scoffed but she was right. the people i was working with them, they were after the clintons. we were and i was. >> in a twist of fate brock runs a well-funded empire whose mission is to shield the clinton's. he tried to bring the clintons back but is working to return them to the white house. david brock is chairman and founder of american bridge. i have always wondered at you. i wonder this. hillary clinton, both of us were young libitarians in our teens and because of civil rights and profound events moved to the center left. how did you do it so dam rr fast to go from a clinton hater to a clinton lover. what happened so quickly to you that made you change? >> i

all these stories were really about hillary clinton and hillary and the press. >> there is another point to this, which says this makes hillary clinton look old. she has been around for a long, long time as this points out. she has been through many different campaigns. and nico mallet wrote a book, he's a social media guru, in which he said that big isn't big any more and that if you are a candidate who has all of this experience, then you probably aren't going hit it with the internet age. >> well, i just think that the idea that politicians get advice from their aides on how to deal with the press, what politician doesn't do that? and everybody wants to seem real. >> but she seems to struggle with it a bit more according to her own campaign. >> well, in the 2008 campaign, that's something she dealt with. i want to squeeze in one more topic and that is bill o'reiley went to the white house this week. he went there in support of an initiative by the president to want something called my brother's keepers, aimed at helping young black men dealing with the problem of dysfunctional familie

we may be seeing hillary clinton's real campaign beginning to emerge. while the republican race remains a jungleal for 2016 the democrat side has a campaign consolidating nearly the entire party around one likely candidate. hillary supporters, donors have united with barack obama's to develop a rare and unmatched campaign apparatus. already clinton loyalist told mark halpern our goal is to build a ferrari. and reports hillary clinton is the best choice to defend the obama legacy. great people to have on right now. mark, it's great to see this reporting already. tell us what is different now and what you have been able to report here about the people who want hillary clinton to be president and who are working on it. what is developing here that wasn't before? >> there is a lot of things involving personality and process. this superpack is the first in the history to not have the model of million dollar fat cat checks for television ads, mostly negative ads. this is a different model, mostly grass roots. some say come on, it is all for show, full employm

it does get to a bigger issue for hillary clinton. this is how she performed as secretary of state. articular, in regards to russia. the headline says, does hillary have a ukraine problem. hillary clinton did the famous reset button with russia her first year as secretary of state. how does what's going on right now in ukraine, in crimea, how might this impact her if she decides to run for president in 2016? >> that's really part of the question. if you see the u.s./russian relationship deteriorating so much under the watch of president obama, hillary clinton's critics were going to say, this was something she made a priority. it didn't work out. from the perspective of the obama administration, from the perspective of those close to hillary clinton, this has much to do about putin's leadership as they see it and not necessarily hers or president obama's. i think another interesting point, john, is that when you look at the comments here that she made yesterday and again we are waiting to see if they clarifies any of this when she speaks here at ucla in a few hours. they sort of crea

the poll asked the same question about hillary clinton and nine republican potential nominees. itely vote for or consider voting for that candidate? well, for secretary clinton, two-thirds of america say yes. 66%. that's the ceiling that she could get. it's that many people might vote for her. it dwarfs everyone else on the republican side. the ceiling for republicans should definitely vote for or consider voting for the poll's top tier of republicans is 47%, less than a majority. that's delivered by rand paul and chris christie. they get 47% possible votes. and filling out the republican field in the lower tiers marco rubio, jeb bush, rick kerry, ted cruz and final all with lower possibilities. as "the washington post" characterizes it, the contest is wide open as any in the modern era. mike halperin, both msnbc political analysts and co-authors of "double down." since you guys think so big about all this, what does it mean when you see a spread like this when hillary has a potential vote. i guess this is a lot of moderate suburban women included. up to 66% of people say when a

but we did get some insight into how the clintons operated and how hillary clinton's aides saw her andthe pluck. 199 a from one of her p.r. aides to mrs. clinton's chief of staff maggie williams. it urged her to do more outreach with the local media it says because hillary is comfortable with the local reporters and enjoys speaking with them. this will help us get us around her aversion to the national washington media and serve to counter the tone of the national media so, if you remember the national media like me, now you are on notice that hillary clinton has had an aversion to you for almost 20 years. continuing: this is a memo from mandy green wawld who is very well place powerful democratic operative to hillary clinton directly. this was sent to her in 1999. in advance of an important meeting she was about to have with daniel patrick moynahan then senator from new york. it said be careful to be real. don't be defensive. look for opportunities for humor. it's opportunity that people see more sides of you and often see you only in very stern situations. i'm not sure but, bill, but

another high-profile week for hillary clinton including a few gentle steps away from president obama but to me even more interesting the decision was by some close clinton friends and other senior democrats to go public with their reservations about a hilary 2016 campaign. listen to what tom daschle told the "wall street journal". there's a fatigue and physical demand she has to consider. she's much older than 20 years ago when her husband first started. there's a lot of personal considerations to take into account. everybody in washington talks about this privately. why would senator daschle, hillary clinton friends and confidants allow to be quoted some by name raising questions whether she should run. >> they don't want her to be target. i talked to one of hilary's advisors and they said the moment she becomes a candidate, even in an exploratory phase her numbers will drop by 20 points. they don't want that. they want to delay this as long as possible. they will play this game with the press for the next year, poking doubts about whether she will run or not. it's good for her and l

whether that was something hillary clinton can do as effectively as the obama handlers did in terms of using bill clinton in ways that were positive and helpful or not ways that were negative and he hasn't been on the campaign trail for himself in many years so it is hard when you are not doing that all the time. i think that will be a challenge for her. >> hillary values loyalty so they are very loyal to her. she is writing her own book about the presidential campaign, pretty much a given. i was wondering if you had encountered any opposition or difficulties getting people to talk freely even though you offered anonymity or gave anonymity. and if so what that was like if you could talk about that. >> it is very tricky because we are dealing with the clintons and they are very insular people within seller aids and staff. so i think that was a really difficult book to report because of that. what we did was we bombarded people, they had no choice but to participate. we spent hundreds of e-mails to people say we are writing this book can you participate and the secretary of clinton--secr

hillary? i haven't seen this for a nonsitting vice president you know this far out. is your goal to clear the field for hill tri-clintonon? >> our goal is to show her the support that she will have if she decides to run. we don't know. we don't know what hillary will do. we don't know what the vice president will do. we can sit and speculate but we want to encourage hillary to run and be ready in the event that she does to support her with now 2 million supporter ps. last time i sat on your show wer were at 100,000 np now at nearly 2 million. one of the reasons that hillary stands in a class of her own is not just the poll numbers that you mentioned but also the enthusiastic grass roots support behind her. so many supporters who were with her in 2008, some so some of obama supporters, so many people who were too young to be part of the process then are enthusiastic. and cutting across the demographics of the democrat par pity. >> here's my problem with this. i'm a huge hillary clinton fan. i supported her over barack obama in 2008 as a democrat. and but we've seen this movie before. i mean everything that i hear today

secretary of state hillary clinton, foreign relations.s on foreign relations committee in the senate. i mean, they're two highly qualified people. so i don't think, zerlina, there's going to be any split of any base. i think at the end of the day they're going to say when you look at qualifications, when you look at experience, when you look at level-headedness, either one of them. what do you think? >> right. i think this a great place to be if you're a democrat. i think the focus should be on the midterm selections. 2016 is a long way away. anybody who runs in 2016 is going to need a democratic majority in the house and senate in order to be effective. we saw this under president obama. if you don't have that, then you can't get much done. so i think that hillary and joe biden both need to focus on the midterm elections. i think the super pacs need to, as well. all hands on deck here. >> yeah. >> all right, holland cooke, you told me months ago that you thought that ted cruz wanted to be the next big talker, that this was all, you know,

roger stone was the founder of an anti-hillary clinton political report.i report. it is basically a synopsis of the intel report? >> yeah, basically this is not a bipartisan report, this is a year endeavor under chairwoman feinstein who we saw earlier this evening. and it definitely shows that hillary clinton and the state department and the obama administration have dissembled if not lied about what happened in benghazi, everybody needs to read the report. >> why do we have the report? >> well, a lot of people don't read the report so what i have tried to do is walk you through the cliffnote version so that you can see our ambassador asked repeatedly for increased security, they didn't ignore it. they denied it. hillary clinton herself was in the meeting with patrick kennedy, the number three man in the department when the decision was made to deny that request. and then most importantly this proves without any question that the idea that the attack on our mission was caused by an anti-islamic video is a fabricati fabrication, it is completely false. >> t

the crisis in ukraine setting up a tricky situation now for hillary clinton as she grapples with a possible white house run. secretary of state clinton was the face of the obama administration's so-called reset policy with russia. in 2009 she even presented the russian foreign minister with that infamious y ouinfamous res. fox news contributor and larry o'connor host of morning on the mall and drive at 5:00 in washington, d.c. great to see both of you. >> hi, gretchen. >> kirsten, is this a problem for hillary clinton, especially the image of the reset button with the russian foreign minister? >> i don't think so. i don't think it really has that much to do with president obama, so i don't know how it could have anything to do with hillary clinton. >> in what way? >> that was about the relationship between the united states and russia, not about russia and the ukraine. what's going on between russia and ukraine was really nothing to do with the united states. putin wasn't going to stand by and do nothing regardless of who the president of the united states was. we're seen other confliblgts

two, peter acknowledges some of my points and agrees with my positive portrait of hillary clinton. d. president clinton never asked anybody to lie. that was one of the counts dismissed, so there's nothing to that. at the end of the day, we are on the side of fact-based journalists. and in my speech, that's what i was getting at. and there's a certain kind of denial of the fact that conservative forces have in the past and may still in the future be successful in manipulating the mainstream media and if democrats want to be in a state of denial about that, well, that's why they've lost in the past. look at what happened to john kerry. >> very quickly, though, if there's this organized sort of predefense or defense of hillary clinton, do you want there to be a democratic nomination or do you want the party now to get behind hillary clinton and start defending her against the republicans? >> it's really not up to me to decide that. i think there will be a small democratic process in the democratic party. my own view is if mrs. clinton runs the party will be united behind her. >> my tha

information, getting inside the clinton operations -- and i say operations because there's a hillary clinton operation and a bill clinton operation and even when they agree on the sort of overall, you know, goal that they're aiming for, sometimes there's conflict on tactics, or, you know, sets of people doing one thing, other sets of people doing another. so this is really a sort of an interesting set of dynamics to get inside. i hope that we achieved that. in terms of foreign policy, we talk a fair amount about foreign policy, but it's always through the lens of what it says about her decision making, what it says about how government in washington works, what it says about how the united states perceives itself and attempts to be perceived in the rest of the world. you know, this is not a, you know, a treatise on foreign policy by any stretch of the imagination. it is a political book, and the you're into politics, i think you'll, i think you'll like it whether you like her or you don't like her -- >> there's something in there for everyone.

>> look, i've known hillary clinton for many years. i like hillary. i respect hillary clinton.t know if she is going to run, and if she does run, i don't know what her agenda is going to be. but what i do know is we need people. and it's certainly not just me, ed. we need people to say there is a war going on against working families. we've got to stand up. we've got to fight back, or we're not going to have much of a country left. >> you are prepared to be that candidate. how would this work? you're an independent. you caucus with the democrats. how does this work? >> well, that's a good question, and i don't know the answer to that. there are advantages and disadvantages about running independently or running within the democratic structure in contesting the primaries. obviously, there is so much profound disgust with the two-party system that being an independent works well. >> yeah. >> on the other hand, you have to build an entire political infrastructure that is very, very difficult to do. but the bottom line now, the working class, the middle class in this country needs

, i think you've gone wrong somewhere, because jeb bush is not a new candidate. >> neither is hillary clinton think that's true, but the difference is hillary has established support and grassroots support. jeb bush is the favorite of the establishment, not the grassroots, which he'll need to win the primary. >> the decision has to be made, okay, we're talking about sort of the timeline here, so here's what she said, again, side stepping the question at a clinton global initiative event a couple of days ago. >> if you don't represent women in politics and america as a future president, who will? >> look, i am -- i am very much concerned about the direction of our country. give me your name and number. obviously, thinking about all kinds of decisions. >> so, i guess the question then becomes when you're hillary clinton and there is no doubt she's the one. to be fair, if she's not going to run, when does she have to let the rest of the field know? >> i think by the end of the year. that's largely the indicators all point to the end of the year. but i think the money and the super pac money in p

the guy right now who at least before bridge gate was the principle, the principle threat to hillary clinton a threat to hillary? >> i think hillary is most threatened by him because he is the governor of a very important low state. he has shown that he can work with both sides. also saw the man who everybody adores because he will will sit there and not put up with nonsense. is he a strong, affirmative leader too strong but most people will really react positively and have poll after poll after poll. >> the problem christie has say he does get the come back and against hillary clinton his tendency is to attack. the governor is aggressive. he is going to call out what he thinks is hypocrisy. he is going to call out what he thinks is inefficiency. as soon as he does that hillary clinton is going to go he is a bully. he is a bully. he is attacking women. the war on women. that strategy against christie. >> i think it is exactly the correct strategy against christie. because even men who are strong, they are not -- don't want to avoid confrontation at all say christie is a little too much here.

. >> the question is populism and should hillary clinton be worried? pat buchanan. pay period i don't think she should be worried but there's no doubt the populist rhetoric should be appealed. the reason it's not going anywhere is not because hillary clinton knew of the centerleft candidate. three reasons, one reason is basically obama care which is the great liberal enterprise that big government has turned into eight total debacle and basically discredited the idea of liberalism. secondly if you look at the entire western world, all of themave reached the limits of the massive welfare state, how much you contacts and how much you can spend and it's affecting growth. so these are two of the reasons for the fact that it's not going anywhere. >> you think hillary clinton is more properly described as they centrist? >> the energy in the democratic party is around pism. i think only clinton is fairly portrayed as the centrist, but if you look at the preschool education, raising the minimum wage, she's not going to have any difficulty crafting of vision that will appeal

hillary clinton was speaking at a private fund-raiser in california.ording to the long beach press telegraph, she said this, and i'm quoting. now, if this sounds familiar, it's what hitler did back in the '30s. all the germans, the ethnic germans in places like czech low slovakia. hitler kept saying they're not being treated right, i must go and protect my people. and that's what's gotten everybody so nervous. our senior is political correspondent, brianna keilar, watching this. she hasn't clarified those comments yet, because there is a lot of buzz out there. why putin may be bad, but he's not hitler. >> well, and i think what she was trying to do was add some context and talk about how this was something that nazi germany, sort of did or draw similarity. not in the totality of hitler. i have talked with some democrats and republicans who say, you know, she may have some sort of point, but you invoke hitler, you invoke nazi germany and you're really sort of stepping on the third rail of rhetoric. her representatives have not addressed this. they're no

today, by the way, at arizona state university, all the clintons -- hillary, bill, and chelsea -- willck off the clinton global initiative university for young leaders. the guy, by the way, supposed to be clinton's most formidable republican opponent, new jersey chris christie, was asked about the bridge scandal for the first time at a new jersey town hall. he was quizzed about the firing of bridget ann kelly, and he said if she had told the truth, she would have been fired anyway. the question was, what was she fired for? lying to you or the act itself? and christie for the first time made it clear it was the act itself, as well. back at home in wisconsin for a week of town hall meetings, congressman paul ryan seemed to be challenged from the right on foreign aid and immigration, and from the left on his comments last week that a, quote, tailspin of culture in our inner cities means generations of men are not even thinking about working. >> -- understand how you guys can't take care of our country, and yet they've always got plenty of money for everyone else. our foreign aid has to ha

it is hillary clinton.ke many of us in this town do, that it's not a 100% guarantee that hillary clinton runs so why should he be sitting on the sidelines right now? >> there's no reason for him to sit on the sidelines but the reality is that the only way that he would possibly beat hillary clinton in a democratic primary is if he personally climbs in a fighter jet in the next couple hours, flies to the crimea, punches several russian soldiers in the face, and then does it 15 more times between now and the election. it's just -- i think we went through this with hillary in 2008 where people talked about her inevitability and then she turned out not to be inevitable after all. but two realities i think make this landscape different. one is that actually her poll numbers are much better now going into 2016 than they ever were going into 2008. her lead over potential challengers, biden included -- and he's obviously the one with the most name recognition is immei immen immense. that leads to an assumption in d

and hillary clinton has very good numbers. compared to the bushes, do the bushes have a positive net in terms of public recognition? as a family? >> listen, i think bill clinton got lucky with it an economy expanding because of the dotcom leave losing. he left a lot of issues that george bush had to clean up, including a very diminished national security state. and i think hillary clinton is vastly overrated as secretary of state. i think john kerry is actually showing how overrated she was. >> i'm saying, come on. >> those viewing the program have -- i understand your party. here to you the question is clinton is a positive. >> yeah. >> and the bushes? >> and the bushes i think -- >> positive for what? >> compared to the clintons in terms of running on record, putting the families' records up against each other, i think the clintons come out better because the people who are going to be going to the polls are the people who are going to remember or grew up. >> who else can beat hillary clinton? i think she is going to be formi

mixes that up for them. >> you can't have a conversation about women voters without mentioning hillary clintonher clinton has frozen the democratic field by taking all the attention away from other potential 2016 candidates or whether she's acting as a human shield, essentially protecting other contenders from months of scrutiny and attacks because she's the focus. lynn, what do you think? >> well, i think both are true. it's not as if hillary clinton made a calculated choice to do this, to either be a shield or an arrow on this one. so the reality is in campaigns, people have to put themselves out there. and if a cuomo or an o'malley, new york, and the maryland governors or whoever is out there thinks they want to be the stand-by candidate, it is really up to them to create the situation, the environment. and the reality is, yeah, hillary clinton is out there taking most of the attention. that's what campaigns and strategy is about. >> if she decides not to run, that's valuable time that's been lost by the other folks to line up staff, to line up donors. >> exactly. i don't buy the supporters

country be tilting right the way it seems to be now, at the same time, tilting toward electing hillary clintonoward collision government? >> a lot of the vote -- to 2010 is a different electorate, older, whiter, more conservative. >> it's for hillary. hillary wins every up and down. >> always did well with conservatives. remember how well she did in the primaries in the larger states back in 2008? and she did very well in west virginia. obama did not. these are the kind of differences that you're dealing with. even right now, bill clinton is out helping democrats in states where obama is not popular. >> how do you make that together, how do you put it together? hillary clinton winning every matchup yet the tilt of the country seems rightward the next direction. >> the one phrase i hear from people more than any other, i consider myself conservative on economic issues, but, and the leaders say moderate, tolerate, whatever, on social cultural issues. that's a sweet spot in american politics right now. it's somewhat to the right of where democrats are on economic issues, but it's a lot farther ov
