Again, hillary clinton did vote in 2002 when she was a senator to authorize use of force against iraq. bernie sanders was a congressman and voted against it. again, drawing on the barack obama theme from 2008, barack obama was not a senator at the time. he did not vote. but he has made it clear all along and he made it clear in 2008 when he was debating hillary clinton that he was opposed to the iraq war from the word go. and he just pounded on that theme when will he was in debates with hillary...

I dont want to get into that unless people misread that and i havent honestly even studied bernies record. we dont have opposition or research in my back. we have no interest in attacking bernie sanders. i dont want to tease that out. peter makes a good point. ill say this in defense, hes not saying anything now that i cant sell in 2016. in other words, hes not going to the left or calling for example for seal team six to liberate the bored room of goldman sachs and nationalize the banks. this i...

The best interest not to alienate. >> 10 or 20 years ago it would be obvious how to go after bernie sanders, socialist, shes not a socialist. democratic party is not a socialist party but the democratic party moved so far to the left that actually there isnt much space to attack bernie sanders for being too far to the left because on most issues, most democratic base voters agree with him more than they agree with her. so its not clear what her line of attack would be. >> if anything, shes been ...

Flexible enough to change course mid stream? its a different thing to do it now from 2008. but the question is, in the middle of the heat of a campaign, can she freelance and change course. i mean, bill clinton is the most brilliant person at doing in that weve ever seen. and i dont really know the answer to that yet because we havent seen her in that particular circumstance at this point. >> peter, have you seen her being able to sort of change course, learn some lessons? >> only after the mist...

Politically. very idealistic. where shes not as good is as ip pro advising when things are not going according to plan. theres a certain rigidity i think to the way she tends to operate. sometimes that can be very effective if shes moving in the right direction. but when things are not going right as occurred during the health care reform effort and in her presidential run in 2007, 2008, she has trouble shifting course. >> and i guess to his point, gloria, when you look at this, shes in a way sh...
