1
00:00:00,501 --> 00:00:00,901
Absolutely.

2
00:00:00,968 --> 00:00:02,202
This has changed everything.

3
00:00:02,269 --> 00:00:02,936
Just a week ago,

4
00:00:03,003 --> 00:00:03,537
we are talking

5
00:00:03,604 --> 00:00:04,438
about the momentum

6
00:00:04,505 --> 00:00:05,639
that Sara Rodriguez had

7
00:00:05,706 --> 00:00:06,840
with multiple candidates

8
00:00:06,907 --> 00:00:08,542
dropping out endorsing her.

9
00:00:08,609 --> 00:00:09,676
Could she coalesce

10
00:00:09,743 --> 00:00:10,878
as the main rival,

11
00:00:10,944 --> 00:00:12,112
the centrist moderate

12
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:13,113
candidate in this race

13
00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:14,147
that a lot of Democrats

14
00:00:14,214 --> 00:00:14,882
were looking at?

15
00:00:14,948 --> 00:00:15,415
And when

16
00:00:15,482 --> 00:00:16,650
a big part of

17
00:00:16,717 --> 00:00:18,051
your pitch to voters

18
00:00:18,118 --> 00:00:19,319
is that you are

19
00:00:19,386 --> 00:00:20,954
the candidate who can win,

20
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:21,555
you're making

21
00:00:21,622 --> 00:00:23,490
that electability pitch

22
00:00:23,557 --> 00:00:24,291
as you hit

23
00:00:24,358 --> 00:00:25,859
the homestretch here.

24
00:00:25,926 --> 00:00:26,727
Anything that

25
00:00:26,793 --> 00:00:27,561
kind of calls that

26
00:00:27,628 --> 00:00:28,795
into question

27
00:00:28,862 --> 00:00:30,731
hit you harder than you

28
00:00:30,797 --> 00:00:31,832
might hit

29
00:00:31,899 --> 00:00:32,900
if you were just a candidate

30
00:00:32,966 --> 00:00:33,867
who is kind of an issue

31
00:00:33,934 --> 00:00:35,135
candidate, or a candidate

32
00:00:35,202 --> 00:00:37,171
who had really solidified

33
00:00:37,237 --> 00:00:38,672
one section of the party.

34
00:00:38,739 --> 00:00:40,574
It was a Democratic primary

35
00:00:40,641 --> 00:00:42,142
that was starting

36
00:00:42,209 --> 00:00:43,110
to get a little heated

37
00:00:43,177 --> 00:00:44,278
in terms of attacks

38
00:00:44,344 --> 00:00:45,245
between the candidates,

39
00:00:45,312 --> 00:00:47,314
but it was very muted,

40
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:48,515
and then it got

41
00:00:48,582 --> 00:00:49,850
a little hotter.

42
00:00:49,917 --> 00:00:51,885
But this just kind of,

43
00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:53,487
you know,

44
00:00:53,554 --> 00:00:54,388
scattered blood in the water.

45
00:00:54,454 --> 00:00:55,589
And Democrats

46
00:00:55,656 --> 00:00:56,390
like Mandela

47
00:00:56,456 --> 00:00:57,591
Barnes, Joel

48
00:00:57,658 --> 00:00:58,959
Brennan, Kelda Roys,

49
00:00:59,026 --> 00:01:00,460
Francesca Hong, all of them.

50
00:01:00,527 --> 00:01:01,128
Really.

51
00:01:01,195 --> 00:01:03,430
Just went on the attack.

52
00:01:04,231 --> 00:01:06,099
Some of them got very vicious

53
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:08,235
about asking questions.

54
00:01:08,302 --> 00:01:08,836
Why?

55
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:09,536
How could this happen?

56
00:01:09,603 --> 00:01:10,237
Just trying to

57
00:01:10,304 --> 00:01:12,639
keep it in the news cycle.
