he does relate to a lot of working-class voters and western pennsylvania and wisconsin and michigan. voters. >> that is an asset. he can speak to those people, at the same time the democrats want fresh blood. democrats always do better when they run young inspiring candidates like the young bill clinton of the 90s. barack obama, when they try the nostalgia thing, doesn't add up. >> speaking of young, inspired candidates. he was a young republican congressman who ended up getting booted out of his division. he used congressional money to decorate his office on the hill in the downtown abbey theme. he has a grand notion of himself at 37 that he wanted to be like a lord. >> he is like the paul manafort of congress with these lavish things. you remember the movie goodfellas? the guy comes out and he starts buying coats for his wife. >> martha: he is mad because everyone's wife and girlfriend is looking at them. >> you don't want to show off and decorate your office in kashmir. what related him and was the cover photo shoot with six pack abs. that is the only reason i'm here. that got eve

them were in swing states, those states democrats did well in including the mid western states and wisconsin and pennsylvaniates like north carolina. arizona, so i think that's the right question. biden is an obvious candidate to win those voter support. i think some of the younger and more moderate, honestly, i think they avoid scaring a lot of voters. the policy difference are not that great between i don't think. joe biden and buttegieg and beto. donald trump reminds us character matters a lot and for democrats, it matters a lot. it is something we cannot no ahead of time so that's why we have campaigns. with that small dollar donation for the most part, a couple hundred thousands of people went online and gave money to beto, that'spretty impressive. >> thank you very much gentlemen. next up, remembering those loss in new zealand. i'm really into this car, but how do i know if i'm getting a good deal? i tell truecar my zip and which car i want and truecar shows the range of prices people in my area actually paid for the same car so i know if i'm getting a great price. this is how car buying was always mea
