i watched the townhall with michael bennett and i really liked him but michael bennett does not havebiden or elizabeth warren so he is at the bottom of the pole. i think there has to be some sort of middle ground because if you move too far left you will lose those independents and you will lose those people who voted for obama and turned around and voted for trump. rob: when you try to appease the far left wing, that is what they keep saying, that is where the fire is, you lose. >> that is where the headlines are. i'm not sure that is where the fire is but that is what everyone is talking about because they are talking about aoc and the green new deal. that leads the headlines but is it what the american people want? i don't think it is. rob: they should focus on polls and look at biden, more than headlines. thank you so much, appreciate your time. 53 minutes after the hour. this is unbelievable and horrifying. video of a shark circling an unsuspected swimmer, a one off the coast of florida. she has no idea, the video that will make you think twice about going in the water this week

cheryl: michael bennett says i'm a moderate, i know how to work both sides of the aisle.joe biden is coming across in some respects as a centrist, if you compare him to bernie sanders. is that centrist message maybe what we're going to see more and more of on the democrating side. >> it's obviously the lane that is least impacted at this point. if you have every democrat running for the presidency endorsing the green new deal and entertaining medicare for all, that leaves open a wide open lane to try take back the rust belt. i don't think nationalizing the economy will fly that well with coal workers in pennsylvania. cherylpennsylvania.cheryl: thel that says the approval of the economy is actually better than it was before and it says do approve or disapprove of how president trump is handling the economy, this is a cnn poll, 56% say they approve of president trump's handling of the economy. is this the campaign issue that we're going to see? >> this is what trump should be running on. this is what he should have been hammering down on before the midterms. if you look at

if the democrats do what michael bennett said, lit be a losing issue. i can tell you having worked for bill clinton who in 1996 rightfully got credit for a booming economy. there is health care, there is the issue of climate change and the environment. and these are issues that help democrats in the midterms, in 2018, i was involved in a superpac effort led by mayor michael bloomberg that picked up 21 of 24 competitive seats based on the use of health care and the environment principally, but not limited, the issues like guns are also moving for democrats. so this is going to be a tough, competitive election. and while i think the economy will help president trump and help him a great deal, he's not going to win this election i think in a landslide based on that one issue alone. >> in the independent today, the headline says relax, the economy can't actually save trump in 2020. there is no boom and the american people, most of them anyway, are likely to be smart enough to figure that out well before thee ex-will. that's something we've heard the candida
