so we're going to have -- i know so the republicans are upset about the economy, but hillary clinton is running as a candidate of job creation as a candidate of what is the traditional democratic view of public-private partnerships, the bill clinton and barack obama method of combineing governmental action, lean and mean government with private sector job creation. and that is what she will run on. >> find a >> find a candidate who's against job creation or against economic -- i mean, those are just more sort of cliches of the kind she specializes in. is she against minimum wage? what is she going to do to boost unemployment numbers? >> she's for job creation the same way jeb bush and republicans are, but she's for using government and private sector in partnership the way her husband created 23 million jobs and helped balance the budget. you're going to you're going to find hillary clinton as a candidate of the middle class. if she runs, now, i don't know if she's running yet. we're talking about what is her candidacy about because she hasn't declared it yet. but i do know from her t

therefore, a lot easier for hillary clinton if she is the nominee. after all, the republicans wants to run against hillary as the third term of barack obama. she is obviously going to make that challenging jut by running her own independent campaign but if the economic circumstances make it more challenging and then you've got the electoral college and democrats start usually with about 240 of the 270 they need, it's going to be a pretty difficult thing for the republicans to get over and get past f there are more steve king like space minutes and more of the republicans moving the mainstream of the party to the right, it's going to be even more difficult. host: on this weekend, iowa republicans going to the meeting by steve king. long time strategist of purple strategies. a minute or 2 with your phone calls. bob from pawpaw, michigan good morning caller: i am interested if you have any idea of candidates viable candidates that will not be 70 years old by the time they take office with the democratic party. i feel like the vetting process really needs

if you think about the person who is likely to have the most liability issues is hillary clinton and not the republicans seem to be fretting over it. >> you have to wonder what roger clinton and hugh rodham have been doing. george bush said when i was -- george bush successfully put off not just his kids but himself. it is possible to wall off your family. the hardest thing for a first time candidate, the clintons know they have this coming. is to say to your staff and family not only joy have to tell you everything they could, but my parents and siblings and kids. i bet this is the weakest link in the lot of these campaigns and if you're right, one or more of these candidates will go down on family stuff. >> i do not think you can do the george w. bush thing. in this current media environment there are too many , players in the game who were not there. >> you cannot stop the supermarket tabloids and drudge and other websites. if you work it in a disciplined in principle -- and principled way. the candidates will know what they have out there on their families. think of a pushback str

i'm going to vote for hillary clinton because she's a woman.hink people are saying, if you're the right candidate, if we like you, if we like your vision for the future of the country, we're going to vote for you. and i think we are ready for a female president and we'll see it very soon. >> i think that a lot of these characters are based on real people, or composites of several real people. so i don't think hollywood is so far ahead -- >> "the good wife," julianna margulies has been running that show through all its twists and turns. is she hillary with the husband? come on, there is some parallel here. >> she was raised on eliot spitzer's -- >> where a woman was cheated on. >> she's the woman who traditionally has stood there in the pearls, standing by her man. and now she's becoming her husband. the interesting thing to me, many interesting things, i love "the good wife" too, is how she's becoming a politician, and making her faustian bargain pace by pace in a slow-motion kind of way. but the christine baranski character on that show is a v

hillary clinton's greatest strength is that she's hillary clinton.atest weakness is that she's hillary clinton, which is that she's been around a long time. she has a long record to look through. i do not think her secretary of state record has been looked through with the exception possibly of benghazi has been looked through as much as it will be if and when she runs and if and when she's the democratic nominee. and i do think foreign policy is going to be -- i never thought i'd say this. i think foreign policy is going to be a major strain both in the republican primary to differentiate candidates as well as in the general election as we try to in the post-obama presidency figure out what is our right place in the world. we've sort of gone back and forth between george w. bush and barack obama. where are we in this new and evolving world of new and evolving threats? so i think her experience there can be helpful, but her record there, depending on how it plays, can be -- i don't want to say hurtful, but certainly a topic for republicans in that ra

and i definitely think that people are ready for hillary clinton.-- i think one of the big things that she's going to have to worry about is being able to answer questions that she hasn't really specifically answered in the past. number one being monica lewinsky and what happened during that time. monica lewinsky recently came out and joined twitter and that reignited that whole conversation about what was that whole time in the clinton administration like? so i think once hillary clinton is able to get past questions like that, then she can -- you know she's getting this team together and i think she's going to be a real contender. i think we might be ready for another clinton in the white house. >> shira, shawn raised it because the chair of the gop reince priebus said everything is on the table. they are going to bring up bill clinton's personal life. monica lewinsky will certainly be there. that's going to be on the table. >> i think it will be on the table in terms of republican primaries and there's republicans that want to talk about this but

what campaign would he run against hillary clinton? you say you know her well. we'll kind of weaknesses would you exploit if you were the republican nominee? guest:i can't tell you all of what i do and then i would be giving it all away. let me say i think hillary i think hillary clinton's challenges she is going to be tied in this next election to the policies of barack obama then she will to the policies of her husband bill clinton. she was first lady. she didn't have an official policy role in the white house. giving up on the white house she ran the state department. she was secretary of state. she set the table for our relationships with other countries and i would ask my close democratic friends and i actually have a few i would ask him this question. i would say name a country on this planet would we have a better relationship now than we did when the obama administration took office in 2009? guess what? nobody can give me the name of one country. none. i think that's going to be a problem for her. even though the left when you mention things like benghaz

it would be who's close to hillary clinton, what does it mean. it was a political event that she avoided. >> she did it on purpose. >> do you buy his take or do you have a different one. >> a few things are happening here, you can see that speculation fueled that is this the became administration taking every opportunity to basically insult hillary. or is this hillary in making a calculated strategy not to associate herself too much with the obama administration's foreign policy. either way it's obviously something that's so brig and glaring, that she's not -- she was ultimately the secretary of state. it begs a lot of questions whether or not that was the intention. >> >>> terrifying discovery on a san francisco sidewalk. police there opening a suitcase and finding human remains, parent parts of a dismembered body. >> reporter: it was a roller bag suitcase found near a pile of garbage in the mission district in san francisco where the twitter offices are now located. the call came in first as a suspicious package, which happens all the time. and

hillary clinton cannot ignore them now. joining me now is secretary of housing and urban development. thanks for joining me on a big postgame day. >> thanks a lot, alex. it's great to be with you. the president did an excellent job last night of laying out, as you said his agenda for middle-class economics with a series of values that we stand for in the united states and also policy proposals that the congress ought to consider. >> let me ask you, is this the 2016 democratic playbook? >> i certainly believe that in 2016 whoever runs republican or democrat they're going to be running on a stronger economy, an obama economy that has picked up momentum and these proposals are going to be part of the conversation, whether it is free community college or ensuring that women get paid for the same work that they do as men. these policy proposals strike at the heart of creating opportunity for americans who work hard and play by the rules to enter and stay in the middle class. in that sense, yeah i think they'll be a part of the c

hillary clinton is also one. most people don't know about her real record because on college campuses she is portrayed as the ultimate female figure to provide a glowing example to women everywhere but she doesn't enter under reported legacy is to support sexual predators' in races and not just her husband bill clinton. [laughter] so to give you some evidence last month audio of hillary clinton gleefully defending a child rapist was published and to give you some back story in 1975 as an attorney she took on the case of thomas taylor a matter brutally raped a total crew at the age of 41. clinton said she thought taylor was guilty but her issue in the defense even the worst of the worst get their day in court and a title -- and title to an attorney instead after getting him out of a lengthy sentence when she thought he was guilty he served less than one year in prison callback describing the actions of decca better she had a cool attitude i had him take up polygraph which he passed which forever destroyed my faith

they see her as the best chance to weaken hillary clinton and push hillary clinton to the left, maybe uncomfortable place that could get her off message and turn off independent voters in a general election. >> in fact though hillary clinton some would argue needs some competition, she's better when she's tested. elizabeth warren isn't going to be that competition in name because whatever she is doing is kind of circling but not declaring. but even though she says she's not running, just her celebrity and her prominence is pushing hillary clinton to the left. >> sure and what i would say to amy is very interesting story about the republicans in their dreams is elizabeth warren running. you're totally correct, she's not going to do that. she's in a very strong position especially because there is no real clinton alternative that's emerged from the democratic presidential race to be the lone star to which hillary clinton's views are measured. and so she has a lot of power by not running. maybe even more than she would have in the longer term by running because if she were to run when sh

host: if hillary clinton wins she is the first female president of the second clinton. talk about what her advantages are and realistically, when do you think she would go for it, if in fact she does? guest: i think she probably will, sometime early next year she even -- i think she will start sending the stronger is the most. her advantage is, 18 of the last 21 years, she is the most admired woman in america. she has got her detractors, a diva -- a decent approval rating but, you know, a lot of people in the country do not like her, but more do. she can make inroads into the independent vote. and she did as a candidate in new york. on the downside, you know, as bill was saying, i watched him on the segment before me, the younger candidate usually does when. she will have to come up with ways to compensate for that. she will need to come out with some policies and ideas that appeal to younger voters. >> suggest maybe she comes out early. my question is, by waiting so long and everyone is watching her every move, though she heard her party by not going ahead and saying l

hillary clinton, the thing to watch is i think hillary will get into it like two scorpions and a bottle. they hate bill clinton and hillary clinton but they have nowhere else to go. i saw her signing a blood oath to follow the democrats agenda and i don't think elizabeth warren is going to trust her. i think it's a real dark horse, california derry born other than elizabeth james. >> i think she's a threat and i kind of think the opportunity will be too much for her to pass up. these windows don't come along very often and i've been thinking for a while given how president barack oh obama moved that to the left. you've seen hillary -- >> so hillary then needs to adopt to policies. >> we have already done that when she sunlighted businesses don't create any jobs. i think this will be a very tough challenge for her in the clinton '90s. >> let's turn to the republicans briefly and talk about this during the course of the year, no doubt about it. but the question in my mind, can anyone break up from the pact? because there's no real front-runner on the republicans side right now. >> i don't

when it comes to hillary, i have to say, the clintons are, if nothing, opportunistic and practical inortunism. and i don't think that hillary is going she may do that in the primary if she were elected or move on to the general. i think she would be pragmatic to move to the middle. >> outside of a tweet did we hear from her this week? is it considered, what is the protocol if you think the president has gotten paint on you in a paint ball game? >> i think she will stay quiet and she should. this was a very aggressive state of the union speech. one way it helps her, president obama clearly defined who the enemy is. it set that up nicely for her as far as being republicans but she is in a really tough spot. analysts said that speech last night took her to the very far left. this is place idealogically and politically hillary clinton has been before, i do think she is very comfortable there. she sort of needs to be there right now because of the prospect of elizabeth warren running. think about it harris does she support what president obama says and risks alienating moderate middle and

for the democrats, it's hillary clinton all the way. she's miles ahead of vice president biden and senator elizabeth warren. we have pieces on both front runners tonight. first, clinton may wait a while before confirming that she is running for president. chief political correspondent carl cameron tells us the rationale behind the delay. >> hillary clinton's originally planned april target date could be extended three months. aides say she feels no time pressure, polls make it abundantly clear she has no serious oppositions for the democratic nomination. >> she frankly does not need to put herself subjecting herself to typical attacks, slow the pace down. >> reporter: political aides suggesting she might accelerate our timetable to jump in as soon as this or next month. for months, groups having doing opposition research on republicans who attack her and raising and spending millions organizing her supporters. clinton's latest timetable tease features the option of filing with the federal election commission to begin her own fund raisin

bill: does that fall to hillary clinton or president obama or both? >> the president had his responsibilities, the secretary had his responsibility. this is -- what the newspaper story is talking about is the secretary took a leadership role for pushing for a war and it wasn't supported by the facts and the intel community and it wasn't supported with any degree of unanimity within the pentagon. bill: what he position proliferation. extensive in libya after the war. islamic radicalism. we have read stories how isis has a beachhead and they are bragging about it in libya. that's a big deal. >> it's very big deal which is why when you intervene, you have to have an idea what the end game is. as soon as benghazi fell the al qaeda flag went up over a municipal building there. this was not well thought out. it wasn't well planned it should not have happened. we should not have gone into libya. qaddafi reached an accommodation with the bush administration. what was this war all about? i think those are questions that congress and the american people will co

>> hillary clinton will be covered by the press they will cover for her. >> they --. >> look, hillary clinton will get an easy ride and general will get a fairly easy ride until he is the nominee. if he is. he is the nominee then the president, well, what about the we connections here? >> let me contradict you. she did not get an easy ride on dead broke. >> campaign is about to start. >> in 2020 it was an easy ride. thank you is different you had a charismatic young african-american historic figure would was antiwar and connected with the antiwar sentiment at the time, and this will be entirely different game and the republicans are going to have to bring up their game to defeat the clintons, bill clinton and hillary clinton who are powerful and adept the politics. >> first having covered her since mid-1980's she has never gotten an easy ride. second her biggest challenge is she is the establishment. she is politics as usual. she is the in knews and this is an election where people people want transformational train and unless she can show she can run a different campaign. >> if it is

how do you spin it if you're hillary clinton? ary has to be careful because last time she darted to the middle way too soon. that created an opening for barack obama to rise. hillary clinton even though she fells pressure from elizabeth warren, she is sitting back while listening to barack obama messages, very progressive messages that is what she agrees with. she is more progressive builds as a moderate. republicans to all costs tie hillary to president obama. she which want to put distance between herself and president obama. republicans need to watch very closely. they need to tie hillary to things like obamacare and not to bill clinton because of that legacy that she will try to say, look you get my husband two for the price of one. two for the price of one. >> we saw him do interviews on his own on late-night television when talking about how he would deal with extremism and radicals within the muslim community. he used those words, words we haven't necessarily heard as much from the white house. so it is interesting. >> yeah

even he is commenting what hillary clinton is floating out there. it is really really interesting.this goes on and timing. so now we segue to this. hillary clinton is reportedly hmmm, considering putting off the formal launch her presidential campaign until july. you think there is connection? that is three months later than originally planned. a top democrat familiar with the clintons thinking tells "politico" she is not feeling any pressure and sees no primary challenge on the horizon. waiting until july gives her time to develop her message. sound a little bit like talking points i will keep talking without chaos and spotlight of a public campaign. stacy, interesting timing again. >> you know, i wish i cared but, you know, i don't. i don't see anyone else who is running against her as a possible candidate. you know, we're going to win. we're going to have a republican president. >> this goes to something we talked about before when the details of her writer came out, these speeches she was giving and what she wanted on stage and how much she was getting paid. too much informatio

there's a lot of talk about how hillary clinton will have to distance herself. she may want to be the third term by the time the second term is through. it's good for democrats, good for the president, also good for the country, because because it is around the issue of economic recovery. it hasn't gone far enough but things are bert. >> as jan kennedy said victory has 100 fathers, defeat is an orphan. anyway thank you, john. >> wait until you see -- >> thank you, joan as always. >>> up next the republican governor of indiana is catching heat from both the left and the right. he's not that bad, but what he did is really awful. this is "hardball," the place for politics. the country talking to people who made the switch to ford. i loved the look of the fusion... we test drove it...i was like "this is my car". all-wheel drive is amazing... i felt so secure. you can do it, emmie! ecoboost is when you can take a four cylinder and make it feel like a six cylinder... i was really surprised... i drove the fusion... and i never went back. make the switch to america's fa

for the valid criticisms he'll offer on hillary clinton, he's going to be a candidate in 2016. >> i wasing this in politico. but mike allen has interesting report that the clinton campaign some suggestion they're not going to announce her candidacy in july. that's months later than originally anticipated. why is that decision that might be feeding into what she dealt with the last time around it's a coronation campaign rather than a real serious go at it. >> i khan confirm or deny. >> i'm not asking you to confirm or deny. what do you think of it? >> as an analyst, she's in a totally opposite position from the republicans. the later she gets in the better. >> why? >> because she's got a 75% favorable among democrats right now. >> the moment you run it goes down. >> exactly. that's exactly right. the moment she gets in you go down. also it's hard to dance in that spotlight for month after month after month. right now because she's hanging back the spotlight quite rightly is turned to the republicans. they have the clown car gathering at the steve king forum in iowa where sarah palin toss

new like scott walker, for example that might present the formidable challenge to someone like hillary clintonu're right, it is interesting to have hillary out and alone on the democratic side but ten again, that's very seasoned politician. and it gives her a chance to build her war chest and really take a more center point party line in the primaries. >> let's do a little word association. one word tammy, you're going to go first. then marjorie. here we go. mitt. >> winner. >> dog on top of the car. >> that's not one word. >> i know. let's go on. tammy, jeb? >> loser. >> family name. >> i'm not doing one word well. >> i don't know about this. tammy, rand? >> boy opportunist. >> marjorie? >> son. >> okay. tammy, cruz? >> potential. >> extreme. >> all right tammy. christie? >> boy. obama hug. that's one word. >> yeah, a dash in there. a hyphen, i swear. >> okay. go ahead marjorie. >> unpolished. >> and tammy, finally we'll go with walker? >> remarkable. >> unknown. >> okay. by the way, i just threw that on the ladies. they were not expecting that. so thank you for going with that. very good. >>
