Warren up, i can show you a poll. if you want a poll that shows biden up. if you want a poll that shows bernie coming back, i can show you a poll. and its also if you want to show that a poll that shows peter buttigieg is in the first tier, top tier, i can show you that. and i think thats just kind of where we are. we still have a little bit more ways to go. and i think of polls that really matter are the state polls. a lot of undecided in those polls. people havent made their minds up. and i th...
