let's get the read from phil wegman, "washington examiner" writer. there is another school of thought on the shut down, sad did i, depending on your view or not, we kind ever gotten used to it. with this president, it would be 11th technically in times and varying degrees of impact. so is that working to the president's advantage that the shock effect is off? >> i think that the shock effect definitely is off here because at this point, shutdown dramas are like bad b list movies. it is a type of melodrama we know what to expect. someone in the white house will make a threat. someone on capitol hill will hold a press conference. at the end of the day they will have a deal or come up with a short term deal. what makes this one different the secs are significantly lower -- stakes. you and chad talked about this the at infiguring. important to note this will be a partial government shut down. 75% of government spending is guaranteed through september of 2019. things like the pentagon and hhs. it would be a limited shutdown, of the yes there would be poli

we are asking mattie toffler, kathy leroux and phil wegman.d to see you all lose your money on kathy. so i've heard a lot of talk about him. i think he is actually probably looking at this fairly seriously. i know he's looked at it seriously in the past but in this case he would be running in the democratic field. the president himself told me that he does not think, president trump that is, that mike bloomberg would be able to make it through the field because a party has gone so aggressively lacks left. >> the party is everywhere but the party is energized, we do know that. so with the energy comes a little bit of this and a little bit of that and you don't know what's going to appeal to the voters. republicans like him, democrats like him. he's a little bit more down the middle and when you have a party that is fascinated by the likes of alexandria alexandria ocasid sanders, how do someone more down the middle play in that field? >> that's a really good question. democrats have a really good challenge they have to keep the government open a
