obama was not so keen on the idea that mr. biden run in the first place, but also that he recognizes that vice president biden is, in fact, still the front-runner here and that it's a possibility that vice president biden will, in fact, be the democratic nominee, and that's still kind of playing both sides of this. president obama did not set up vice president biden to be his success or. when hillary clinton wanted to move forward and run in 2016, vice president biden did not have president obama's support. it's important to remember even after president obama had twice told the nation that joe biden was the next best person to be president, gone out and campaigned with him that way, he wasn't ready to endorse him back then. so i don't think it's shocking that president obama didn't think biden should run this time in the first place and suggested that to him, maybe not in so many words. but there is a reality here, and i think that president obama would like to be influential with whoever the democratic nominee is going to be

in 2008, that was barack obama. do you have a sense elizabeth warren is that candidate and do you think donald trump watching this has a sense he sees from elizabeth warren and recognizes from his own run in 2016? >> i think donald trump and donald trump jr. with the pocohantas smear a week ago, that was a recognition both of them and the father in particular is worried about elizabeth warren. i think you will see donald trump targeting joe biden and elizabeth warren going forward. they represent threats to him in a different way. he sees joe biden he thinks wisconsin and michigan and swing states. he sees elizabeth warren, he sees someone smarter than him and more disciplined in him, on a debate stage could slice him up a bit. he was afraid of that with hillary clinton. the difference between hillary clinton and elizabeth warren, she's a much more effective messenger and brings real passion to this voters are starting to pick up on. >> we talked about biden in the last block and elizabeth warren. you have bernie sa
