5:06 am
elizabeth warren told see gathered in some cases where any amy klobuchar she just doesn't have their by refocusing completely on the pandemic by making this a referendum on the president's role with the pandemic and that's why i was a little as i was texting david during the debate why is pence going back to the pandemic this is not where he should be just from a pure strategy point of view. this is this this actually was i think a little bit of up. it's going more know and i think for what it did not do than what it did do now if you've got to run a simple debate if you're going to run a safe debate you're going to present your talking points. that's not enough to upset this race and this dynamic is changing that we are not certain that we have another debate on the 15th we probably have a debate on the 22nd, but all of that revolves around. >>the pandemic and the condition and that's for most voters that's why they tune out of politics because they're seen this and it's not
