this permanent damage to his campaign? is he going to get out any time soon, or does he stay in it and push through this? what do you think? i think he s going to stay in and push through. i don t know that it s done permanent damage. susan s right. there are some over the course of the two debates that seemed really presidential and some weren t. what do you think, david, what does this do among the democratic field? well, i think talking about buttigieg, i think he was probably apologizing to some extent to the black community, trying to appear conciliatory. if he stays in it, maybe it hurts him down the road. coming out of the debates, you know, i think for castro it was really crucial for him to do well. he needed to raise money, and we ve seen that he s done that. it will be interesting to see what he reports in two weeks when we re able to see the numbers. for o rourke, i don t know that it was killer that he didn t do well. but definitely was a pretty big

states in the country, following alabama s near total abortion ban, which was signed into law late thursday. meanwhile, in louisiana, a similar bill banning abortions as early as six weeks let me just stop right here. susan del percio, this so energizes not only the democratic base but those suburban women who stood in the line in the pouring rain to elect governors from all across the country who stood in line for hours to challenge donald trump s people. i m just saying as a former republican, this is a nightmare for republicans in the suburbs.
tel aviv. i think it s now been moved to jerusalem and i don t think the united states got much out of it. but we ve got to get back to working toward a two-state solution. willie geist will now ask you lightning round questions about 80s pop songs. eddie s got one and susan s got one as well. i want to return to something that mike asked you. when i hear the language i want to win the states that we lost, i can speak to that part of america that the party hasn t spoken to, it hear it sounds to me as if you re not going to speak to black and brown constituents and many people argue that the path way to the nomination will be through black communities and particularly through black women. and it will be. as you pivot to south carolina, what specifically specifically will you say to black voters as we you know, some ways we re living in a
