The election and it is still all about the economy -- and marches in Boston and she joins is actually often.
From that carry -- always good to have you what is in his my first question I think you know what's coming action.
Don't tell -- That you believe our country would be in this mess the mess that it's in today.
If Hillary Clinton had been elected president in 2000 and and and please don't quibble about whether it's a -- or not you know it is.
8% unemployment sixteen trillion dollar debt one a half percent growth.
Go.
I think she would have faced many the same challenges that President Obama face.
I do believe Hillary Clinton would have done jobs and stimulus program at the same time she -- -- -- form.
But she's still have a tough time.
Getting it through congress remember when President Clinton pass his economic plan in 1993.
It passed would just one vote one democratic vote.
That congresswoman.
Ms.
-- -- from Philadelphia.
Was the deciding vote she lost her -- election went on to become the clintons in law but that's how it passed now we had a great economy after that.
I think she would have had the same challenges and we could well have been in the same situation.
We're in today so I'll occurrence of a -- asked a lot of one or refer to the enthusiasm gap for moment.
Because -- look and most of my friends and colleagues tend to be on the right of the on -- I understand that but I don't know anybody.
Who's really showing enthusiasm.
For four more years with this president -- -- I just don't see people -- we must have.
We need.
Four more years of this administration.
I just don't see it do you.
I think you're starting to see that.
Certainly of the democratic side amongst women amongst African Americans -- amongst Hispanics.
And I think on the right you had a gap a bit until -- lined up put on the ticket so this is really what everyone -- understand about the selection it's a base election on both sides and then they only way you win it's based.
Plus a little bit do you though think -- putting -- As things stand right now.
Do you know that many people who are really saying.
It's -- -- we must have week the country desperately needs four more years of Barack Obama c'mon you don't know but -- I think you're yeah I know you're saying is many people I think you say is that many people in the right load Obama I think many people on the left.
Blow the Romney Ryan and I think that's what's motivating this election it's really and that's why it's more of a base election then of persuasion election at this.
Look at let's get back to the mess that I think were -- not that you probably true.
I can give you twenty seconds on what Romney Ryan plan to do I can give -- twenty seconds very clean cut ever goes exactly what they gonna do.
Can you give me twenty seconds on exactly.
What President Obama is going to do to -- as out of this mess up.
There's no question about just look at Bill Clinton's ad that's just been released recently he's gonna do the Clinton plan it's going to be investments it's going to be tax cuts it's going to be deficit cutting.
All three across the board that's what you're gonna see and of President Obama gets reelected which I still think he does by a small margin.
I think here that the economy will turn the corner he will have the opportunity to implement that plan and I think we'll have the kind of economy that we had during the second Clinton term no doubt about it.
You are Clintonism UYO -- -- Clinton you are on should auction on him.
You know what President Clinton has it is the only credible person in the world who turned around an economy -- gave us the best economy to have plus a surplus.
It be nice to have that again I think we well.
Present Clinton in 2016.
Issue running I think there's no question -- running.
I issued I I believe she's absolutely running gaga marry and we always appreciate your opinion thanks for joining -- -- historic view of the republic.
