pickens comment around 55, one of the things that i think is part of the reason we are having this discussion now and i think you are right on the point here. the 32 to 55, we always intended to go back to expand the arf as we were able to build capacity and staffing but correct underlying performance issues with regard to saytations. in -- citations. in the interim have hummingbird have capacity to take care of the people as we solve for the 55. that is where it is confusing to many because we do think the 55 is where we need to be with the arf. we already have challenges with regard to managing 32 as regard to the citations. this is not about any one person or a judgment, it is just the fact the state has given us a number of citations. the plan was rather than leaving the excess capacity we would turn that into hummingbird. i understand there is disagreement about that. that was the plan. we are holding the idea of hummingbirds and fix to go to 55 for the arf. again, to be really clear from what was that, that is what we put on hold at this point. >> as we are able to work that out and whe

i think paraphrase charles pickens, hillary clinton hillas political career is deader than jacob marleye the dogs to eat the dog food. steve: continuing the animal analogy, put up this quote from david axelrod. you know big figure in democratic party. >> with trump looming there is genuine concern that the horse many have bet on may be pulling up lame and the horse who sprinted up front may not be able to win. >> david axelrod never holds back, he lays it out, he never flowers or embellishes, who can move ahead. >> right now no one. frankly, as we look at the platform of the democrats, they really have none. only platform they have is they hate trump, that it is it. the american people are not going to buy that. we're not going to see president trump lose 2020 based on the platform that democrats hate trump. >> and david axelrod also worked with joe biden. >> a great point. >> this is a lackluster field of light weights, joe biden raised 15 million in third quarter, trump campaign about this in two days. with regard to hillary clinton, do not underestimate the ego of a scorned politicia
