Talking about or any of the discussions of healthcare, jobs, guns, anything voters care about is just being diminished. they dont seem as important because whats going on in washington really is sort of a test of the -- of the future of this president. the future of this democracy. >> by the way, it is. >> the future of this party. exactly. >> i mean, i hate to say it is that test. >> well, exactly. so whats going on -- on the campaign trail, by definition, feels smaller. and that means that who...

Colorado and the southern states that vote that day. so this is going to be a very drawn out presidential campaign and process. you have 16 people. i think that i occupy a unique lane right now in the issues that im fighting for and who im speaking up for. often, people who dont have a voice. and, you know, im going to keep working to get support. >> i want to ask you about a -- a comment that rayez wrote in an op-ed about arguing in favor of you staying in the race. he said on a pragmatic level...

Dyson, professor of sociology at georgetown university. you cannot twin nomination without the black vote. you cannot win without the brown vote. yet were seeing almost a difference when we poll black and brown voters and we do other voters. can we see a candidate that can raise the enthusiasm of the whole diversified field for democratic voters, and can we deal with the fact that some of those running seem to have some lack of ability to relate to some in the black and brown communities? >> yes...

Got that special sauce thats going to be able to do something the other 13, 15 candidates havent been able to do? im afraid they dont think that partially because bloomberg is 77 years old. hes not going to be in the debates. its a little hard even if you have all the money in the world to be central to the democratic nomination process. if youre not in those debates. and that he is out of step with the rest of the party. theyre more hopeful for somebody like biden or pete buttigieg. youve seen ...

Biden and not saying hes entorsing patrick, but was there a wink and a nod, lets try it out? >> we asked deval patrick to put pen to paper and he said in his confidences with the president, the president is not taking sides. warning him hes getting in late, but not stopping him and that the president agreed with him, you know, a spirited primary is healthy for the party. and so, i dont think youre going to see this president, this former president backing anybody right now, probably not until th...

Julian castro says its well pastime to shake up how the nation votes, hes calling for new hampshire and iowa to lose their leadoff rolls in this whole nomination process. >> i believe that we do need to change the order of the states, because i dont believe that were the same country we were in 1972. thats when iowa first held its caucus first, at the same time, demographically, its not reflective of the united states as a whole. certainly not reflective of the democratic party. >> castro also t...
