time. good to see you, senator. >> chris, always good to be on. thank you for having me. >> so first let me just deal with your campaign, and then we will get into these politics. message comes from the campaign like this is it, either get on board with us right now or the campaign is going on end. is that a reality? are you thinking about dropping out? >> well, look. we built a campaign. we told people this is not an ego exercise or a vanity experiment. we wanted to win, and we were building a campaign till now that is really a winning campaign. remember, the polls this far out have never predicted from our party who would become president of the united states. what predicts it is the strength on the ground. we have inarguably according to the des moines register and others we have the strongest team on the ground, us and elizabeth warren. and we just knew that if we were to stay competitive that had the most endorsements that we had to continue to grow and we didn't have the resources to do that. and so we've been very honest.
