VOICES OUT OF SOME OF THE
DEBATES BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING
FOR --
>> Melissa: CAN I JUST JUMP IN
IN?
YOU TALKED ABOUT THE NUMBERS FOR
BERNIE SANDERS AND HOW THEY
COMPARE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO
PULLED IN AND THE FOURTH QUARTER
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE NUMBER
RIGHT HERE.
BUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT HE
HAS 105 MILLION ON HAND THAT IS
READY TO BE SPENT.
THE ONLY OTHER PERSON WHO HAS
THAT MUCH POWDER LEFT TO BURN IS
BLOOMBERG.
I MEAN, IT COULD JUST BE
MONEY --
>> Gillian: THE PRESIDENT HAS
A WHOLE LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY
THAN THE DEMOCRATS AT THIS POINT
IN TIME.
HE HAS A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY IN
TERMS OF TIMING.
HE CAN SPEND IT NOW, HE CAN
SPEND IT LATER.
THEY DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY.
THEY HAVE GOT TO SPEND A LOT OF
THE CASH ON HAND.
THE PRESIDENT, THIS IS REALLY
LIKE THE ADVANTAGE OF --
>> Kennedy: THAT IS A REALLY
GOOD POINT.
WE SAW SOME OF THE CANDIDATES
GET INTO THE 2020 RACE WITH CASH
ON HAND FROM -- BUT THE
PRESIDENT, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN,

SIDELINES, THEY ARE NOW A LITTLE
BIT MORE EXCITED THAN THEY WERE
A COUPLE MONTHS AGO.
>> Jessica: $10 MILLION OFF OF
IMPEACHMENT --
>> Melissa: $42 MILLION SINCE
THE IMPEACHMENT.
>> Jessica: YES.
THEY ARE RAISING OFF OF IT, AND
CERTAINLY AMONGST INDEPENDENT
VOTERS AGAINST IMPEACHMENT.
I'M NOT GOING TO BE DISHONEST
AND SAY THAT IT IS A SLAM-DUNK
FOR THEM A PRETZEL LIKE CHARLIE,
BUT I DO THINK THAT THE STRENGTH
OF THESE FUND-RAISING NUMBERS
FOR CERTAIN CANDIDATES
MATTER, BUT THE UNEQUIVOCAL
FRONT RUNNER, WHO IS JOE BIDEN.
HE IS NOT LOSING SUPPORT OF ANY
TERM.
HE IS CONSOLIDATING ACTUALLY
FROM PEOPLE WHO LEFT
KAMALA HARRIS.
I DON'T THINK IT IS ANYTHING --
WHEN TALKING ABOUT HOW THE RACE
IS GOING, AND SAYING IT IS ALL
BERNIE SANDERS, HE STILL DOESN'T
HAVE AFRICAN-AMERICAN SUPPORT.
YOU CANNOT WIN WITHOUT BLACK
SUPPORTERS.
>> Pete: THEY WOULD HAVE LEAD
WITH IT ON MINUTE ONE --
'S BEFORE THEY SURPRISED
EVERYONE.
ACTUALLY, THERE WAS A BIG
SURPRISE THAT THEY HELD BACK.
EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO
BE A BAD NUMBER, AND IT TURNED
