Frontrunner. >> i had pete buttigieg as the winner with a close second for amy klobuchar. mayor pete directed the conversation and i thought he did very well. >> bill: why is your loser joe biden? >> he is no longer the frontrunner. all the fire was focused on elizabeth warren. she is seen as the frontrunner. this is the thing about joe. it is like he did okay. he didnt stumble terribly but neither did he do anything great. when you are in his position thats a loser debate. >> i add yang down as...

Then. >> emily: no matter what cycle it is, there is always going to be pining for whoever is not there. >> greg: they are wishful for michelle. i call it mich-ful thinking. we have said this. theres a terminal lack of excitement about the big names. meanwhile the most genuine people you are not hearing about. to me marianne williamson is the most genuine person up there. i think yang lost his bang. if they go after joe, i might feel like picking on gramps. they might let him wander off into the...

Buttigieg and gabbard and booker, yang, kamala harris, but none are cracking the top three. not even winning over young voters. the harvard study found the youngest favored the oldest. bernie sanders and joe biden which is evidence that identity politics has its limits. the baby boomers came in promising endless progress and the age of aquarius. they wound up elevating gordon gekko while giving decadence, debt and decline. whatever the age we need vigor in the presidency. people who wont be trig...

Getting ready to prepare for that debate. and just sort of continue. we have a big fundraising numbers last week. so be interesting to see sort of how folks spend that money. >> lets talk about money with shaq. shaq, you bring up the former vice president, the numbers, depending how you view, he was in the middle but poorer than i think a lot of people thought, $15.2 million on the screen and not too far away from folks like harris and yang and very far away from sanders. >> thats right. we were...

Qualified for the debate. elise, is there any path for them anymore? >> i didnt mention marianne williamson. >> she really was a breath of something on the debate stage. fundraising quarter is finished, the other candidates really have -- its surprising that the field is even as wide as it is. its pretty much a five-person field, if were being generous. >> five candidates are in for november, christina, seven more have met the fundraising threshold but only booker, yang, and steyer have qualifie...

Fits into a pattern by the president. >> he told us if i shoot somebody on fifth avenue i will get away with it. he is a lawless president. he literally is. he believes he is above the law and beyond reproach, and he can do anything and get away with anything. >> democrats see potential problems on both sides and believe the bidens could have been more careful with their business overseas. >> it certainly has a bad look to it if a direct family member of a sitting president or vice president on ...

You have to be at 3% in four polls or 5% in two polls in the leadoff states. and yes by the way, you need to have 165,000 donors. so this is for november and beyond. just to give you a sense of what that might look like, the polls so far that have come out, biden, warren, sanders, harris, buttigieg, they have hit all those thresholds in the polls right now that are part of that criteria. more to come, but right now there are five who look like they will be on course to qualify for that new crite...

Theyre going to be on course to qualify for that new criteria. once you get beyond that, booker, orourke, yang, klobuchar, steyer, gabbard, unclear. unclear if theyre going to be able to meet those thresholds. so were going to go from 10 to 11 or 12 in the next debate. but then because of what the dnc announced today, you could be down to single digits, single digits on that debate stage starting in november. new dnc rules announced today. coming up, were going to go live to des moines. that i...

>> yeah, absolutely i agree. i didnt think about in the last debate julian castros one comment why would anybody listen to any of us talking this way? calling out what people think, what they like. again, this is part of what the allure is of donald trump as a candidate. he says what is on his mind. he uses language that is offensive whether you like it or not. that appeals to some people because its authentic. thats what yang is doing, be authentic and own that silicon valley tech approach. i w...
