Soft on immigration. hes changed on that. hes admitted hes changed and said he learned his lesson. this is enclosurely lyclearly a speech about old and new. this is not just to clinton in 92 or obama in 08, this is to kennedy in 1960. in his inaugural address he said the torch has been passed to a new generation. this is generational. he said it openly. basically hes saying do you want old or do you want new. hes also implying versus jeb bush, do you want privileged or unprivileged. and im the o...

Everywhere. >> hillary would make a great president. i would make an even greater first dude. this election is about you. i dont want to hog your limelight. i am leaving. look at me go. bye. im gone. >> arent we such a fun, approachable dynasty? >> nice to see him back to do that. look, it did hurt hillary clinton back in 07, 08 a little bit. he seems to know it. it does look like theyre trying to give him the same role that president obama did, which is use him as little as possible until you r...

States lands her here in iowa, and shes trying to do these small one on one conversations. the campaign is definitely a lot more intimate this time less focused on the hillary personality and more about reintroducing, as was said in the package by andrea mitchell earning the trust of iowa voters. >> how do you reintroduce someone who pretty much is well well known throughout the united states? >> yeah i know and iowa is a little bit different, jose because this is a state that takes its politics...

Stacked in favor of those at the top the. >> reporter: the video is in stark contrast to her online announcement in 08. instead of and on camera speech this message is about the voter. clinton doesnt appear until about halfway through the video. the emphasis is on sharing the stories of americans of different ages races and sexual orientation orientations. >> im getting married this summer to someone i really care about. >> willie, what do you think? >> i think the message is the right one which...

To run because they just arent jazzed about hillary clinton. right? >> i think shes -- the way she does that is by going in and putting in the tile. i think the sense is when you that uk to those close to hillary clinton, especially those who worked on the 2008 campaign they were very surprised on caucus night because the turnout was so much more than expected. then the turnout went so much for then-senator obama. but i think she goes in and she puts the time in. but if you talk to people close ...

She needs barack obama as much as any other democrat would need a barack obama running for president at this point. theyre going to be intertwined in this regard simply because -- not just because she was his secretary of state, but because of where the president has positioned the democrats on issues in the middle east, on our relations with governments like cuba. so shes not going to break that pact so far. as far as republicans are concerned, i think if they lead with benghazi, people will la...

Doing here. i think certainly disruptive to the neighborhood in some respects. >> one of the funny things about this this is a backdrop because theres no campaign rally like gop candidates so far. shes doing this low key with a video. again, she did do a video last time as well didnt she. >> she did. goes to show you power of social media, power of facebook twitter and what have you. she can reach more people that way. its really a strategy brian, that clintons are putting into place. they saw m...

Democratic party. of course, democrats were hurt by their association with president obama in the 2014 midterms. of course, 2014 midterms was a different playing field. president obamas poll numbers were in the low 40s. now theyre in the mid to high 40s. a little bit of a different situation. as we saw in 2014 when the democrats decided to distance themselves from the presidency, really created a negative feedback loop that didnt help anybody at all. what youre seeing now is hillary clinton and ...

And she would be silly not to. hes such a tremendous surrogate that at some points -- >> why not? hes such a great communicator. at some point. >> he is a good fund-raiser, a good communicator. the question is when she gets attacked by republicans, thats when it became an issue in 08. when she was being attacked by barack obama and others and the media. thats when he finds it very difficult to not defend her. >> you cannot underestimate the impact of attacks on family members that kind of forget...
