I think detroit is actually a much stronger showing for the former vice president, particularly that one exchange he had with senator gillibrand. i think other folks that have the potential to continue to have that breakout moment are including gillibrand minus the exchange she had with senator biden. i think you also saw the likes of mario williamson make her points very well. but it's all about senator elizabeth warren and senator bernie sanders. i put this question, this is the second point i'll make quickly, i put this question in detroit to democratic national committee chairman tom perez...

Forward to the next debate in houston. we know at least one more person will be there because the threshold has gotten a lot harder for some of these candidates. what have you learned about who else is joining that stage, ali? >> well you mentioned the threshold. when you put it up to at least 2% polling and 130,000 donors you're effectively doubling the things these candidates need in order to make the debate stage. it threatens to have the number of people who make the stage and can make their pitch to a national audience. we reported first this morning amy klobuchar has met the 130,000 dono...

Constituency that important, would you have to get votes there. >> do we suspect after the second debate we'll see one or two more candidates drop out of this thing? >> i think we'll see a lot more than one or two drop out. i can quickly show you, anybody who's sitting here, bennet, gillibrand, de blasio, williamson, riley, hickenlooper, all of them are in grave danger of not hitting the polling threshold for the fall debates. if they don't make a move off this debate, they may all be gone. >> thank you, my friend. enjoy the weekend. i want to bring in eugene scott and also a former adviser ...
