He is essentially ignoring iowa and new hampshire. He thinks super tuesday will be good for him in california and that is because he has 52 billion. He spends that money on advertisement. We talked about those and he said he is spending that money to try to hurt donald trump. I have more on his conversation coming up. I also talked to kevin mccarthy. He is making the argument that joe biden should sit out the campaign trail for the next few weeks during the impeachment trial because many of his impoundments will have to sit out to be part of that as jurors of the senate. The only thing that has changed are the four senators that are running for senate are now being denied the ability to run their campaigns. So as long as the campaign is on others should not campaign either because of the advantage. Bernie sanders has been through this many times. If you are a supporter of Bernie Sanders you understand it. You believe that joe biden should not campaign . A lot of the others are not allowed to because it is a disadvantage to them. You think the president can campaign . He is a defendant in this. Yes the president can because right now we are in the primary process.

It is very interesting when you asked him about the president and he said that he could campaign. Right. Essentially one could argue that if you are getting an unfair advantage, it would be an unfair advantage for all the democrats to not be on the campaign trail while the president is doing campaign rallies.
