Relationship. the last four or five years they could work together. the last couple they cant and seek to do as much damage as possible. the key about wrestling, when the show is over, everybody goes home. theres no place for us to go. the show is never over in washington. every day, even the fourth of july we were seeking a political gain. thats not the way it should be. ill tell you from the focus groups, its a poison, its toxic. i can no longer have a discussion in a set like this without 25 ...

Lexi mackanin spent time with voters in warren, michigan. she was there with a focus group and again and again, voters said we may not like the presidents behavior, but it would be hard to turn away from him because of the economy. now, these focus groups are useful and tell you what voters are thinking about and talking about. its not a statistical snapshot like a poll, but people will say i dont like what the president -- how hes saying it. we hear the same thing from business. this is another...

So afraid of a trump re-election that this is not a psych toll have what they want but what they need. thats why biden continues to prevail in every single poll in the lead position. that can change as we get closer to voting in february. there is evidence that most of the coalition, including women, tell focus groups, reporters, party chairs, i dont think we can risk it. what if the men in the rust belt arent ready to elect a woman? thats whats going against these women candidates. >> madam pre...

Positions. at the same time he was a stark contrast to someone like mayor pete who just embraced accountability and responsibility and it was pretty refreshing at least according to some of the focus groups that i was listening to throughout the night. but, again, its difficult to make predictions right now. but it seems that joe biden really does seem to lack a vision. he spent the day talking about bussing, not talking about a criminal justice reform platform or his vision for what he wants th...

He looked last night. insecure and overwhelmed. >> beautifully said. jackie, you wrote beautifully about what we witnessed last night. that senator harris not only took the torch from joe biden. show stole his thunder right there on the stage as we watched. can he succeed if he doesnt come at a new way of owning the past? i suppose he runs the risk of running out of ways to say you had to be there. >> yeah. hes in a tough position. he doesnt want to be constantly apologizing for all his past pos...

Hostility every day. >> i want to give her some more credit, which is when i was watching last night, i thought to myself that line from "the wire," famous line people use a lot. when you come from the king, you bet not miss, and she didnt miss. she went for biden and she went in. the way that she did it was so masterful, was so surgical. and what she did was she used something thats incredibly important to him, which is his 40-year record and then she leaned in on an issue thats really importan...

You are actually misleading. the point is not how many women there are versus men. the point is what type of opportunities are the women getting, how much airtime are they getting? what were claiming is that our five clients because of their gender and because of their age have been treated differently than older men and younger women. >> new york one is not without senior women in prominent slots on the air. according to management their daily line-up includes 14 women over the age of 40. >> ou...

Barack obama was really tough on border security. >> yep. >> border security was at a 50-year low when barack obama left office. now, its out of control again. >> yeah. you know what? i think on the first thing, we interviewed a lot of the people for my show. we went to pennsylvania and ohio and philadelphia and places like that. >> missouri. >> we interviewed union guys that were two-time obama voters who when we left the little focus groups we knew five out of six of the guys were going to vot...

Think, in both polling and even im told in private focus groups that bernie sanders campaign did in 2016 the public by and large believe some people should have skin in the game and the thought of absolute tuition free public education or completely eliminating student debt is something, i think, that does face resistance not just on cost but equity. only a third of the country has a college degree. while bernie sanders and elizabeth warren want to portrays this as being paid for solely by the w...

Battles with trump, not in its democratic agenda. according to those briefed on the focus groups, which were conducted earlier this year, voters are largely unaware of political developments that dont involve the president. >> the democrats that ive talked to said they learned this lesson in 2018. they didnt focus so much on trump but on the economy and health care and they were able to flip the house. do you think that informs the strategy? >> absolutely. i think they are nervous about the fact...
