The squad really do represent kind of much of the visible leadership of the progressive left. and so, yes to her age, but also to what she represents for a very, very growing element within the democratic party. and given the fact that elizabeth warren has really competed for, in many cases has been able to move a good deal of that support her way, the senator is probably right to want to create the opportunity for a little bit of a pull there. i would also say very quickly, karen made a very go...

Necessarily see her as electable. i dont know. if he were to jump into this race i dont know how long bloomberg would latinst in this. hes another billionaire and a foil for saner and warren in their economically progress iiv policy. it will much more working class people hes out of touch with. with this poll its a national poll. we need to look at state polls. >> josh, why do you think bloomberg as a white billionaire can disrupt this race. is it about electability or his legacy? what is it? >>...

Ambassador to the eu. at the very least shouldnt the president know the nsa office officials? how familiar should he be with vindman and other nsa people? >> in a perfect world, of course he should know anybody. especially if we just look at the clip that we just saw, what trump is doing is creating a distinction with no difference. just in the part when he says he doesnt know these people. on the other hand some of them are never trumpers, which would seem to mean he would know them. but he doe...

Change, but on stop and frisk, not so liberal. i wonder what you make of the idea that he would be seen as somebody who can the even get the democratic nomination. >> well, i think its laughable. as you mentioned, this is a mayor that provided over an administration that stop and frisked every black, la ttino a poor person they could. this is mayor that resided over a city from neighborhoods and culture to glass. who clear ed the park and stood up against occupy wall street and so really i think...

Who would bloombergs candidacy potentially hurt? >> well -- lets put aside the logic of his candidacy a second and assume he can get in and bypasses the first four states and basically waiting for super tuesday to use your monies, have some kind of air campaign to mobilize and move voters. putting all of that aside whether thats possible and we can talk about that how unlikely that is. who does he hurt? well, i want to pin it a little differently. who does he help? clearly helps warren and sande...

Big billionaires here and thats why hes stepping in now? >> right. its perfect timing. elizabeth warren releases this calculator on her website -- if youre a billionaire, put in your amount of money and this is what you will pay in taxes. hours later, mike bloomberg jumps in the race. he provides a foil that elizabeth warren and sanders hasnt had, that the argument, that politics and the democratic party has been captured by wealthy people, and corporate interests. and michael bloomberg provides...

Question. i would disagree. dont think there is a voter path to cut into bidens lead. his lead is among african-americans and doesnt mean hell have that forever and noneducated white voters and a clear path to cut into the buttigieg movement and hes a once in a generation smart guy who people are really excited about. that is not -- they wont turn to bloomberg. i do think the place where -- i dont know what bloombergs voter path is and he isnt cutting into warren or bernie sanders lead and in fa...

And klobuchar tonight. >> without a doubt. youll see it across the nation. people will say the problem is income inequality. the problem is the richest of the rich and mike bloomberg without a doubt demonstrates what the richest of the rich do. hell argue he does more than that. he might argue and you saw it in the interview from august, his number one goal isnt to be president of the united states. he feels like his number one goal is to ensure that donald trump gets defeated. you can see mike ...

Tangible as far as support. but hes going to be a great foil to run against when your argument is that the wealthy have too much influence. >> all right. i -- i think -- does he at all get credit for being an elected official for as long as he has? because you -- to me, theres a difference between steyer and bloomberg. right? where bloomberg is -- is -- been an elected official and a billionaire. steyer, he hadnt really done anything since then. im just curious if you at all are concerned about ...
