electability thing, i just wonder about because i look at polling. it s february. i look at polling about the general election. by and large, biden runs the best across the same number of states, but it s not as though bernie sanders most of the data i see he is ahead or competitive. is he exactly where biden is, no. so the electability thing, donald trump was if we were all here, if you asked me who is more likeable, the governor of ohio with a proven voting record of winning in a swing state in the general election or donald trump, donald trump would have been 16th on the most likeable list. let s not forget that bernie is leading the q poll, and joe biden cut his support among african americans. michael bloomberg cut the support from joe biden among that, and to your point wasn t most electable until votes are cast and actually you may not be. exactly. what i started to say, the
why? because if you look inside this poll, support for medicare for all plummeting down to 36% support. yeah, it s pretty simple. this country, you can t tell 160 million people you re going to take something away they already have. and i also think the electability thing. i ve said this all along. i do not think she is electable. i think she would get trounced in a landslide with trump. i also think she has a likability issue. this is not a gender thing, this is tone and manner thing, i think the american public, the more they see the more they re going this is not the answer. actually, she was doing well on her performance out on the campaign trail. it was when she put forth a policy that they said whoa, whoa, whoa, i don t want 160 million people to lose their hundreds. i would respectfully slightly disagree. i think she s run a formidable cam campaign. as a person, the 70,000 selfies, she s a natural, and it s
i don t think it s a lie. most people believe that politicians lie. i do think there is something going on with biden. he lost a step. it s one thing to gaffe. he could not remember president obama s name the other day. just called him his boss. what makes this such a big thing going into the next debate is that these young people are going to start to frame it if they take off the gloves they can make the argument that biden is too old and you see he is too old. it s not about new ideas. can the president remember intelligence when he has to make a decision if he goes to the oval office? i think democrats will have to have a conversation about this electability thing. if you candidate can t remember things, i don t think he can go on debate stage and defeat donald trump. let s not attribute this gaffe to age.

well at the debates. he appellahasn t put out a poli that s ben received so well. what if he loses after iowa? does that change the entire calculus? the entire race changes after iowa. at that point, voters in other states start to parrot what they re seeing. we re talking about the electability thing. really, it s what are my neighbors going to do? what are the people who live around me going to decide based on the veavailable pool of candidates? i think other states will follow suit. to that point, speaking of iowa, cory booker who has not held back his punches against joe biden saying our next candidate should not be somebody who is a safe bet. he caught up with my colleague garrett haake, take a listen to this. most competent to beat donald trump, is that a miss? because this far out in every election since before carter we
