Out of that list of fourteen so far in the field to Ainsley from Washington State just declared on Friday traditionally governors are done pretty well in democratic primaries and Republican primary so that's a little surprising. The second is he is a raging moderate he calls himself a radical moderate is a matter of fact and in a field with a whole lot of progress is a whole lot of liberals John Hickenlooper is hope. Is that his pitch will be. Well I can get things done I can work the Republicans like to work with Democrats not clear that's where the bases but at least it's a different message a different sort of mess is that yields will breakthrough.

Good enough you have to start with John Bellini Andrew Yang Marianne Williamson those who want. Most people won't Jack also with those three whether that's the order or not I'm gonna go with the was with Waring and Bernie Sanders Kirsten Gillibrand. A quarry bull her baby Klobuchar. Told C diver of course. Now of course Ainsley and Hickenlooper I just just mention two of them. Man I'm on pins stuck now we're always Cory Booker that I get him yeah you did Corey.

We're we're all good. We did trustee and it wasn't big it was a big weekend for a lot of these candidates a lot of them spending a lot of time in Alabama and an and and it is solemn remembrance of the but the march there. Yes Selma Alabama would of course is hallowed ground for the civil rights movement. It was an intriguing event in addition to a march there was a breakfast. Celebration of Hillary Clinton she was she was celebrated opera for work on civil rights she gave a blistering speech. About president trump eating calling calling him a racist and one point. Any treating to see all leased when he twenty years there including Bernie Sanders a very curt little handshake of course Bernie just on Friday. Told the views that he did not have any plans to seek out Hillary Clinton's advice that that started a little bit of a tussle with some of her staffers so. Memories of 2016 or so pretty raw. Absolutely and Rick I want question for EI. I've sounded really interesting that over the last couple weeks is all of these Democrats are declaring the running for president a lot of them especially the women. Holding off on. Giving any kudos to Hillary Clinton who we know was the first woman to run for president we know. Amy Klobuchar I think I mentioned it recently but do you think there's this. Just awareness. Of kind of distancing themselves from hilly Clinton even though she was the first woman to run. She was the first nominee that's right the first it's a win a nomination in either party for president. I think. All of those women and many of the men as well oh their politically distances that Hillary Clinton answer the clintons but it is a double edged sword right now the memories of Bill Clinton or not uniquely positive nor are they positive about Hillary Clinton who lost the president trump. They are gonna have to be careful with this I think most of them are gonna show a little more deference than Bernie Sanders and soliciting advice but. I there's none of the candidates that he's fourteen. That I that I about that I've rattle off so we believe today said it could not added that that would say I am the Clinton camp that I am that the the bill and Hillary Clinton candidate none of them want that label. Now capsule and they're being very careful with that. All right ABC's political director recline in Washington Rick thank you so much.
