one in scranton and one in wilkes-barre. figure it out yourselves. and they did. lots of transporters bought and design their own yard signs and then distributed them on their own to the friends and family. i'm just telling you in politics, that's a brush fire. that's the kind of enthusiasm you want. twenty-seven ... walked by them to get to my position and i have been i have them say what the candidates themselves said. you've got to get out of your comfort zone or listen to obama supporters tell that to themselves. it's 33 degrees from a pouring rain for never getting out of my comfort zone like senator obama told me. that has validity. these yards signs have validity. in the grand scheme of things what does that mean? that's two presidential campaigns not that far apart with deep reservoirs of enthusiasm, completely different concepts. that in its own way is demonstrative of where we are. i wish i could say exactly where it's going to lead us, but i can say we witness both an inner runways own ways and a functioning democracy they have equal validity. you're in

the democratic party who said maybe somebody to take on president trump is joe biden with skrapt scrantonlvania roots. >> the person who runs against trump should speak to the moment. that's incredibly smart advice. republicans missed this in 2008. mitt -- i'm sorry, 2012. mitt romney was a great candidate, but running a businessman was not running the right person for the moment. democrats are going to have to find that right person for the moment and shouldn't pick him or her today. david axelrod should let democrats campaign. run for president before deciding who should be the nominee two years earlier. the idea that someone will need to speak to those rust belt democrats, those left behind voters, something is very real there. and do they go to kamala harris's or find a candidate who can really recapture those voters that stayed home or voted for donald trump. >> who knows what's going to happen in two years. it's so far down the road. it's fun to talk about. >> my pleasure. have a good one. >> the former head of the cia said the president's pardon of the saudis show that america is f

we're not going to be expected to be in the area of scranton, p.a. have a connection to it. it's a good choice. big enough to not have neighbors around. we cooked together, we ate together, we had conversations. we recovered from the stress of being on the run like we were. and we had a lot of space to roam around in. here we could go off and be by ourself. >> they were traumatized, i think. i mean, they had watched their friends and comrades be murdered. live on television. from my perspective, to take a risk to save lives is a risk worth taking. i can't imagine how i would feel if i didn't do it. >> jack had helped wendy yoshimura leave the bay area when she was wanted. he asked her to come live with us for a while. she hit it off with patty from the beginning. >> in 1974, i was working the san francisco pd cases where somebody had fled across the state line. wendy yoshimura, her boyfriend, a guy named willie brand, who had been arrested and convicted of a bombing in alameda county, she was being charged as an accomplice. and so she took off. when

it's a sweet spot, pro-life, but a sweet spot with so many of the more traditional democrats in scranton, impossible to beat. i'm fascinated with bucks county. if they go knock mike kelly in eerie. >> fitzpatrick and kelly, both republican incumbents. >> yeah, they could knock them off and win the 10th in lancaster. they could pick up bucks county against a well recognized incumbent, they're in business. sweep time. >> how much of a difference does it make if they thad weak candidates, the guy running against tom wolf disappeared, and against bob casey disappeared. >> i know the burbs, the guy at the top of the ticket was on the republican side, donald j. trump. a lot of the women this time, and men, were evolved men, as i said the other night, in the suburbs, i think -- hillary was a complication at the end. i heard from a lot of people you'd be surprised by. comey's report 11 days out didn't help. this time it's all about voting against trump. the american voter tends to be a voter against. there was no -- one thing you can say about the democratic party, so enactive in terms of legisl

political operative all the way back to the 1960s actually working for moderate republicans like bill scranton and hugh scott. he didn't like donald trump. and a lot of republicans are like him. but when the alternative is hillary clinton and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, people can look past an awful lot. one thing very important for us to keep in mind is what is really fueling that a love of authoritarian rule, hatred of the other side. >> i've got two observations in the first is for dr. gary beard i always dismissed then i hear the phrase democratic pollster for republican pollster because i think they must be preaching to their own choir. they have financial interest in skewing the way questions are asked in such. as opposed to more respectable statistical analysis. secondly, none of you have mentioned about the role of the internet.

do you remember being 13 and taking the greyhound bus from scranton to philadelphia every monday morningbe in the olympics and everything, but i think i could take it one step at a time. stayed with so many different families who made you feel like you where are home when you were not it was scary and you missed your own family very much but your motor home mom always told you it wasn't a sacrifice if you get to do what you glove we realiz you loved. you lived in your coach's basement for a while. sometimes you had to choose whether you paid for groc roirs paid f -- groceries or ice team. you worked so hard but you were even harder on yourself. now listen, this part is important. stand up, walk to a mirror, look yourself straight in the eye and tell yourself, you are a winner. you won't see one looking back at you yet, but do every day and you'll start to learn what being a winner is. being a winner sis a mindset. you've come out to your friend and family a few years ago and it made you feel so free, like you've grown wings. do you remember growing up in pennsylvania thinking that being

folks in cleveland and in wilmington, my hometown in scranton understand. middle-class is not a number. economists who work will tell you middle-class means $52000 or $53000. middle-class is a value set. it's being able to own your own home and not rented. being able to send your kid to a safe park knowing they will come home safely. it means they can go to a local high school and if they do well they go on beyond high school. six out of ten jobs in 2020 will require something beyond high school. it's been able to take your geriatric mom home when your dad's eyes and hope you never have to have your children take care of you. folks, -- >> leland: former vice president biden on the stone. you can tell by his voice how much he has been traveling and how much he has been speaking. president obama mentioned yesterday about his voice that he was out of practice. the vice president has a few more stops and so does president obama before election day. there are 25 republican house districts that hillary clinton wanted 2016. something we have heard from obama and b
