AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
PICKS UP POST-LABOR DAY, DONALD
TRUMP IS NOT THE ONLY POLITICAL
SURPRISE.
SOME POLLS HAVE BERNIE SANDERS
LEADING HILLARY CLINTON.
YOUR THOUGHTS?
DO YOU THINK
THE SANDERS OF
PHENOMENON HAS LEGS?
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
INTERESTED IN THE GUY.
HE IS A SENATOR, HE SEEMS LIKE A
SMART GUY.
I DON'T THINK HE HAS A
CHANCE, BUT I WISH HE DID.
I AM FOR HIM.
IF I THOUGHT HE COULD WHEN I
WOULD VOTE FOR HIM.
IF HE WINS NEW HAMPSHIRE,
WILL YOUR PERCEPTION IF HE CAN
WIN CHANGE?
SURE.
I DO NOT REPRESENT
THE
INTERESTS OF MILLIONAIRES AND
BILLIONAIRES.
I DO NOT WANT OR NEED THEIR
MONEY.
HE IS A GOOD LOCAL
POLITICIAN, BUT I CANNOT FATHOM
HIM ON THE NATIONAL SCENE.
HE HAS MY VOTE ALREADY.
♪
ED: AS YOU
KNOW, JANET WU HAS
JOINED US AT THE TABLE.
LET ME APOLOGIZE,
I SOUND A GUY
HAVE A BAG OF NAILS IN MY
THROAT.
IT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAVE.
JANET:
A LOT OF CLINTON
SUPPORTERS THOUGHT THAT BERNIE
SANDERS WOULD BE A QUICK FLING,
BUT HE IS BECOMING A REAL
THREAT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
THE GREAT POLITICAL ALLEGORY
IS ALL ABOUT POPULISM, AND THAT
IS WHAT IS DRIVING THE ELECTION.
A POPULIST STREAK THAT WILL STAY
THROUGH THE ELECTION.
THAT IS WHY THE COMMON
DENOMINATOR IS THAT PEOPLE WHO
HATE WASHINGTON AND WALL STREET,
THAT IS WHY BERNIE SANDERS AND
DONALD TRUMP ARE SURGING.
JANET: GINNY?
GINNY: WHEN I WAS
IN COLLEGE,
THERE WAS A FALL FLING AND A
SUMMER FLING.
UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE OFFERS
THEMSELVES, I THINK THAT BERNIE
WILL BE A FACTOR.
ED: HILLARY CLINTON USED THE
WORDS "I'M SORRY."
SHE USED THEM ON ELLEN AND ABC
WORLD NEWS WITH DAVID MUIR.
IS IT EVEN WORTH THE WORDS I'M
SORRY?
THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE
DEBATING HOW WELL SHE SAID I'M
SORRY IS RIDICULOUS.
IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE
APOLOGY, IF THAT HIRES ON THOSE
WHO DID NOT ACCEPT IT.
INCLUDING THE MEDIA.
SHE DID IT, SHE SHOULD HAVE
DONE IT EARLIER.
SHE WILL CONTINUE TO PERFORM
WELL.
GINNY: THE QUESTION IS
CONTINUING, THE E-MAILS WILL BE
DRIPPING OUT AND IT IS NOT GOING
AWAY.
JANET: WEDNESDAY IS THE
NEXT BIG
REPUBLICAN DEBATE.
THIS TIME CARLY FIORINA WILL BE
ON THE STAGE FOR THE PRIMETIME
DEBATE AND DONALD TRUMP MIGHT BE
WORRIED ABOUT HER AND INSULTED
HER LOOKS IN A ROLLING STONE
INTERVIEW.
FIORINA SAYS THE COMMENTS SPEAK
FOR THEMSELVES.
I WILL NOT SPEND A SINGLE
CYCLE WONDERING WHAT DONALD
TRUMP MEANS.
MAYBE I'M GETTING UNDER HIS SKIN
BECAUSE I AM CLIMBING IN THE
POLLS.
JANET: ISSUE RIGHT?
GINNY: I WISH
SHE WOULD SAY,
HAVE YOU LOOKED IN THE MIRROR
LATELY?
[LAUGHTER]
GINNY: SHE HAS FACED DOWN BOYS
IN THE BOARDROOM BEFORE AND IS A
SUCCESSFUL CEO, SHE IS NOT
AFRAID OF DONALD TRUMP.
JANET: ARE YOU CURIOUS
AS TO HOW
THE DEBATE WILL GO MARIANNE?
I THINK
TRUMP WILL TREAT THEM
LIKE A 40 TWO THE -- LIKE A FLEA
TO BE
FLICKED AND CONTINUE TO
RISE.
I THINK THEY WILL GETTING UP ON
HIM, HE WILL HANDLE THEM, AND HE
WILL CONTINUE TO RISE.
ED: THAT WAS SKILLFUL, A FLEA
TO
BE FLICKED.
THE FIRST YEAR MAYOR IS OPEN TO
A HIGHER OFFICE.
DOES WALSH'S APPEAL EXTEND
PAST
20 EIGHT?
MARY
ANNE
: I THINK SO.
THOSE ELEMENTS EXIST ACROSS THE
STATE IN A CROWDED PRIMARY,
WHICH WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT
BEFORE.
OR PEOPLE IF IT IS A
SENATE
RACE.
DOES THE COALITION -- THAT IS
THE COALITION HAS PUT TOGETHER.
GINNY: I DO NOT
THINK VOTERS
WANT A BOSTON MAYOR TO BE
REPRESENTING SUBURBAN INTERESTS.
JANET: WAS IT A MISTAKE AS FAR
AS POLITICS WERE CONCERNED TO
PUT THIS OUT THERE SO SOON?
GIN
NY: MAYBE HE WANTS TO FREEZE
EVERYONE ELSE OUT IN-PLACE
MONEYWISE?
MARY ANNE: IT
PUTS PEOPLE ON
NOTICE AND LETS THEM KNOW YOU
MIGHT WANT TO DO SOMETHING ELSE
TOO.
THAT GIVES HIM MORE CLOUT.
HE WILL USE IT AND USE IT WELL.
ED: YOU KNOW HOW POWERFUL THE
MAYOR OF THE CITY OF BOSTON CAN
BE, CITY AND STATE WHY.
MARY
ANNE: HE HAS ENGAGED
NATIONWIDE ON GUNS AND A HOST OF
OTHER THINGS.
WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU'RE NOT
JUST LOOKING TO BE THE MAYOR OF
BOSTON.
JANET:
WE WILL SEE IF THERE IS A
