Hes doing? >> i think ali is right in her reporting. you dont necessarily need to focus on the first four states because all of these candidates have been pouring money and resources into the states. hes a big city mayor or was, and i do think theres always been a role for a big city mayor of a debate stage and probably has a better path than bill deblazio did. if you look at later in march, youve got states like california, texas, virginia, michigan and arizona that votes later in the month. st...

Into the progressive versus moderate conversation that were having. i dont think that the solution is winning over trump voters from 2016. only 26% of the country voted for him in the first place, and hillary clinton got 3 million more of the votes that were actually cast. i think at this point what we want to do, the smart strategy is on building on the success that we saw in 2017 and 2018 with dramatic expansion of the electorate. the margin in wisconsin that she lost by was smaller than the n...

Laura has a lot more. >> more insight on the trump administrations approach with iran and whether lasting diplomacy with the islamic republic can be achieved. lets bring in secretary of state for legislative affairs in the obama administration in washington strategy group president joel rubin. nice resume. i was looking at the piece you wrote, donald trump ramped up his rhetoric with words like locked and loaded instead of using tensions with iran so is this a smart strategy, too provocative? >>...

He botching it -- >> he has to get a deal. david: get dean or be tough as hes been? >> you have to do two things, you have to have a plan and outcompete china, theres no way to do this through trade and tariffs and all the nonsense, youve got to outcompete them, i have a plan on how to build electric batteries, build batteries and chief manufacturing officer that will drive this for office, china dominates electric vehicle 50 to 60%, china dominates -- >> that doesnt sound like a smart strategy....

Disappointed with president obama. winning campaigns are about the future and we need to hear these candidates visions for what theyre going to do. >> okay. thats a good point. so whos -- are they listening? because i think all the people that were up there on that stage have some pretty good political instincts, right? and when youre -- when youre running for office, yeah, you should listen to your advisers, but i think you have to go with your gut. do you think theyre listening to their gut or...

Next debate round. but how does this work? >> well, i think that this is -- what youre going to hear soon is why do these candidates want to repeal and replace obamacare, which is what republicans were trying to do for a long time? i dont think its a strategy thats a smart strategy. i think what youre seeing is a division created where if you family is all togetherect... take the bernie sanders, and we switched to geico; elizabeth warren, and even toss saved money on our boat insurance. in kamal...
