Paul B News Today

Race and bussing issues. i think it would be concerned if i was on his team that he just didnt seem ready to respond to that. i find it hard to believe that his team didnt prepare him for it and i think that he cant be caught flat footed that way in the future. >> david, paul was referencing bidens traditional support among black voters, 36% i think to kamala harris 24% should -- i mean, thats not something that he can take for granted. >> oh, no, not at all. and that -- listen, what we saw reme...

President and has a reservoir of goodwill with the african american community inside the democratic party, anderson, but if this notion that hes the one that could beat trump starts getting chipped away and if kamala harris specifically continues to rise here and she can show african american voters shes winning overall kinds of support, that could be very, very dangerous situation for bidens candidacy. >> paul, the ability to beat president trump, is that your number one issue? most democrats t...

I guess im probably more aligned to the left side in terms of the policy issues, maybe not as in touch with america as paul is, i guess. but i think that the interesting thing about this to me in terms of looking at this poll is that the democrats are sort of struggling with the idea of what makes somebody the best person to beat trump, and i think that the conventional wisdom kind of was its a white guy. its a joe biden kind of white guy who can connect with people in pennsylvania, and i think ...

Them on every issue. the voters in my party are screaming at their candidates, be practical, prague mat timati practical. so many of them are chasing a purity, some extreme position they dont need to do. the voters, democrats are telling them pay attention to us and show us how to beat trump with a more, i think, moderate increakre increate mental change, they seem to be chasing over educated, over caffeinated, over opinion ated liberals on twitter. im one of them. they are saying be more pack k...

Gaining. its a tremendous concern. he does have bull work with african american voters. he has to earn that. hes got to fight hard for those voters and i think his hold on them could be tenuous. democrats dont like a front runner. ask my friend hillary clinton. they like to take out the front runner and they have a lot of options this time. this is a snapshot as he says. hes right. the snapshot is one guy going down and two women going up. i think it will continue. >> paul references, you know, ...

Anderson. nearly 6 in 10, more than 6 in 10 democrats say they want somebody thats a candidate with a strong chance of beating trump versus only 30% of democrats that say somebody who shares my position on the issues. so if somebody can pierce this notion that biden is the best position to beat trump, they would go a long way to really perhaps severely damage joe biden. >> stay with us. i want to bring in the rest of the team tonight, kirsten powers and cnn political commentator paul b paul. wha...

She would never reveal. >> six men died. theres a little bit of head in the sand here. kevin, how does it help you -- i wasnt crazy about the deal, i had real doubts about this deal. how does that help your cause? >> i dont know if it helps the cause. i mean, i think its, if anything, its a window into hillary clinton. i mean, 48 hours before she was sort of touting the administration line about this and now she is the ever conventional, ever calculating politician trying to drive a contrast wit...

Within the administration. now shes a free actor. she should be saying what she really thinks instead of only touting the party. i will point out, as kevin knows very well, it was a senator of new york when this city was attacked. and it does make your blood boil. sergeant bergdahl liberated, it makes your blood boil to see five guys, some of them connected to that attack, walk free. >> paul b >>. lets take a break on "new day." when we come back, the 12-year-old girls in wisconsin, allegedly ...
