  1. “To drive television and drive television. That's what I meant. He can do that. Whereas I don't know of a single candidate I could think of. And from the political realm that understands that, I don't think he got that from the apprentice. So I think you're right. It's something in him. He's just that good at figuring it out. And it's probably the skill of getting people in the car. He knows how to do that on Twitter. He knows how to do it.”

  2. “Yeah, and I think that's what he's really good. He is the best candidate I've ever seen at social media and media. In other words, you can get a guy who's good on television or good at, but there are several that have been pretty good. And he knows how to.”

  3. “Absolutely. It reminds me, I mean, because he leaves our exploitation of it in the dust, but it reminds me a lot about in the Dean campaign when we would just, I mean, we'd come up with that crazy idea of running ads against Bush and Crawford, Texas, and we dominated. The news media for a week and getting into some fight with George Bush, but we did it, and it drowned out Edwards and Carrie. I mean, one of the things that happened was one of the things that held everybody down was our ability to just dominate, dominate, dominate the press. And he puts us to shame. I mean, he is just the best, I mean, the best at it. And I don't know. So I agree with you completely. And I don't know if that comes from the apprentice. If it comes from, well, he's always been a self”

  5. “Yeah, they do. You know what? I don't disagree with them. I think Cruz, we all know what Cruz is, we know what we would, you know, what red states are going to be with him, what blue states he automatically just goes. And there's not going to be any.”

  6. “The stones to step on to get to where he wants to get to where he needs to go. He might happen, but I don't see how he does it. What I was saying in terms of All the people I talk to within the Republican Party that I run into is, yeah, I think there's a growing sort of acceptance that it's going to, you know, like they're going to make America great again. Yeah, that it's going to be Trump or Cruz. And I think that's just straight thing is those.”

  7. “I think the likelier outcome right now is Trump or Cruz. It's not that one of the other guys couldn't get by them, but they're all shooting at each other and trying to know you're not going to get by them. I am in the sharp elbows and they each isn't going to let Rubio by. Rubio is not going to let Bush buy. And Kasich, the one guy who got by. I can't just”

  8. “You know Yeah, yeah, exactly. No, I didn't. As soon as he got in, I was saying this is going to be a big problem. People shouldn't underestimate him and that he would be around a lot longer than a lot of the frontrunners that were dissing him back then. At Fox, I know people won't believe this, but they really weren't taking it. There wasn't like walking around taking sides or anything. They really do leave Fox aside for a second. But that's when they didn't see that.”

  9. “Ugly it's gotten when in reality it doesn't really need to be that way. And I can't figure out on air and in that room I try to do what I can to not play into that anywhere, not play into that division, but it happens.”

  10. “It when they, yeah, and you know, 30% of their audience are Democrats, and I've said to you before, we've talked about this. If you got 600,000 Democrats watching Fox and 600,000 Democrats watching MSNBC every night, which Democrats should the Democratic Party be worried about and talking to and making an argument for? So, but no, you know, yeah, I keep running I keep sitting down in the green room with somebody that I think with people that I go, oh my gosh, it's Darth Vader or, you know, my guy, you know, the Dark Force. Promoting the new movie. Yeah, no. No, Darth Vader's dead, I guess, in the new movie. No, and it turns out I'm really enjoying the people. They're nice to me. And I actually, that's one of the things that's really weird about what's going on in politics these days is how...”

  11. “With you. But the one thing I've never, and we've talked about this, I think it's a huge mistake for Democrats to avoid Fox. It's crazy. They have two million people watching that thing.”

  12. “And I'm not really this, I think you've known this, we've known each other a long time, even when we were literally killing each other by day. We'd be at the bar at the Fort Des Moines. Yeah, that was a fun time. Yeah, and so I'm not like this, you know, I can have the argument but not.”

  13. “That's a limitation for him. Yeah, that's one of the things I think holds him back in the African American. In a lot of the communities where you got to have that connection, I think that's what it is. There's something about him. I don't think it's just about her. History in the African American community or with women in those communities or anything like that. I think that's part of it. But I do think there's something, they've got a problem. We can talk about her messaging problems, but I really believe there is something that's holding him back that's not about her. It's him. And I don't know what that is.”

  14. “Yeah, that's what there's no empowerment in the message, which is. I just think one, I think she could have run an empowerment message against Obama and Edwards and done a lot better than what they did last time. There are lots of things they could have done. I think she's got a better campaign this time and a lot better in terms of the nuts and bolts getting things done. Their organization in Iowa was much stronger than it was in 2008. But I definitely think there's this I agree with you. It's like the experience thing makes it about her. Everything is sort of bringing it back to being about her and not about empowering people. Even feel the burn. Who's making you feel the burn? It's not Bernie that's making you feel the burn. I mean, in terms of the way that speeches.”

  15. “Oh yeah, absolutely. I think one of the big mistakes, not big mistakes, but it's just we get, you know, a lot of people are in the, you know, it was like, you know, if you look at Howard Dean, you have the power. You look at Obama. Yes, we can. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes”

  16. “Yeah, I think so. I don't think because I think you're right. It's going to be a grind. I mean, I think she's got big advantages in a lot of these early South Carolina, a lot of the March 1 states. She's going to have the same problem she had against Obama in 2008 and caucus states, like it or not. Those electorates are much more progressive and much more. And the”

  17. “The populace, not Obama. Right. And our Americas being left behind. Both of those things are what Bernie Sanders has been riding on, right? White progressives, young people, and a hot populist message. It should make sense that he would do really well in Iowa. In New Hampshire, she got 39% against Barack and Edward. She got 39% this time.”

  18. “You know, I don't know that here's what I find fascinating about the two contests we've had so far. Barack Obama wins Iowa with 38% of the vote. He wins it by really doing well with white progressives and young people, right? And then the guy who takes second is John Edwards screaming at the top of his lungs, the rich and powerful are robbing us blind. Right.”

  19. “Yeah, I think so. I don't have any, I like Bernie Sanders fine. I mean, I think like his civil rights record, everything that I know about him is stellar record. I just, having been through this and you've been through it, the problems that he faces demographically and otherwise And I think some of it's just stylistic too. I mean, we had this with Dean coming from a state that was 95% white in Vermont. Dean, it took him a while. I mean, he was always very comfortable in the African American community, but it took him a while to get into some rhythm. Do you think there's a possibility?”

  20. “As well. It's insurgents. It's David against Goliath. And I think, look, I think if Hillary Clinton, if she's the nominee, I think we'll be amazed at how well she does do online with Democratic donors against the Republican machine. But right now, I mean, maybe that's when she becomes David. You believe that she will be.”

  21. “Goliath. That's exactly what I think it is. That's why I think that worked effectively for us against Kerry and everybody else in the 2004 race. It worked for Obama against the Goliath, and then he became Goliath. So, I think that's a big piece of it, yeah”

  22. “Well, I think one of the big things is needing it or people believing you need it. And so I think like Donald Trump. Who's obviously doing huge online and can get thousands and thousands of people to retweet him or to respond to him online? I don't know that he can raise a whole lot of money online. But not what Carson has. And I think it's because people perceive Donald Trump doesn't need my money, right? So it's not that they don't like history.”

  24. “Millions, millions of people have been giving online. So when somebody with that same kind of ability to connect with young people or somebody in that, you don't have to connect to all the millions that gave to Obama or the millions that have given to Democrats now from Dean through Obama.”

  25. “Is churning Right. So that's getting stronger. But even when Dean started in 2003, the only way that was possible was because people had bought books on Amazon for all that time, right? And they had to close their eyes, put their credit card out there. And Jeff Bezos and the boys. Delivered a book. Two days later, and nothing happened to their credit card for a guy for a schmuck to go up there and say, hey, I'm running for office, give me money. Right. By the end of the, what I think is one of the things I think is going on is by the end of the Obama campaign, not only is technology moved so far, but the network of people in the Democratic, on the progressive side that have given, you were the Amazon.”

  26. “No, that's true. But I think, look, I think... There's an overthinking about all this because one of the things that happened between Dean and Obama, I mean between the period, is Data analysis became possible. The iPhone actually existed. YouTube existed. The Will I Am thing couldn't have happened for Howard so that.”

  27. “And a lot of it was unfair. The scream was not a scream. And we all know that now, but at the time it, you know. You and probably others were running that thing into the ground with us as much as you could. You look like a scream.”

  28. “Once he would go through the experience, he would come out the other side growing from it. But you're growing. I mean, we were putting the wings on the plane. You've been there. You're putting the whole thing together and you're just trying to pray that when it takes off, it holds together. And you know what? It didn't. The wings fell off. The propeller went.”

  29. “Yeah, and he was, you know, he's doing a great job, but every once in a while he whiffs. And I mean, that's just what would normally happen to some guy running for the house, you know? Or for Obama when he ran for the state senate.”

  31. “When he was lieutenant governor, he becomes governor because the governor died and he gives up his medical practice and now you're trying to get re-elected is really tough in Vermont to get re-elected to governor when you're the sitting Democratic governor. I mean, but you don't have any of the, you know. So in a lot of ways.”

  32. “Not the pressure so much, it's even worse than what you're saying because reality is he ran for LG with a governor who was running for re-election. He won, but it's a Democratic governor running for re-election. It's not like the toughest general election you have, then the governor died. While he was cleaning his pool and Howard was still a practicing doctor, so he becomes governor not by winning the governorship in an election, but by the governor dying. So he's still practicing practicing practice.”

  33. “Yeah, it was one of the few the other way. But that's what I mean. That's a tough thing to do, to have somebody have that courage. He did. I think, though, that he suffered from not having any experience running for anything.”

  34. “Right. It really started falling apart two or three weeks before Iowa. One of the things I tell people about Howard is he was probably the most or one of the most courageous candidates I ever worked for. I mean back then when we started out 80% of the American people were for the war in Iraq, only 20% against it. You can't get very many politicians.”

  35. “Yes, that's right. Yeah. And so that, and then, yeah, I mean, that's when we knew, I mean, we knew that last week in June that we were going to be a problem for a long time and that maybe just maybe we could get the nomination.”

  36. “All the front runners were out there convinced that fad weird thing is now done and doomed. We actually got stronger because of it. And in that week, actually, that was the week, I'm pretty sure that was the week where we went on to beat Bill Clinton's record at the time of raising $10 million and a quarter. All online.”

  37. “The Great Late. You had to do meet the press with Tim Russell. And you either pass the rest of the primary or you didn't Howard bombed horribly. I mean, by all establishment, or established political metrics in terms of his answers, and everybody proclaimed us immediately, like the second it got dead. We had the blog going and the machinery online and we sent out an email immediately saying they're trying to snuff us out. We need your help now more than ever. And it was the biggest fundraising day we had ever had in the campaign.”

  41. “Absolutely. So, yeah, and that, yeah, the sparks were flying. And it was, but to get to the whole. Internet thing was a mess. I mean, you couldn't back then, the lawyers in the campaign, the FEC lawyers would not let me put a link to another website on our website because they were convinced that that would be an in-kind contribution of over $5,000. I mean, these were the early. It took me two weeks. I wanted to do a link to meetup.com to get people to use meetup.com to organize and organize for Dean.”

It was just, there was just this moment where we were both out of, I mean, it's sort of like everybody desperation in the room. What the hell are we going to do downstairs?

What the hell are we doing supporting George Bush's war in Iraq? And he looked at me and he said, well, I can't say what the hell happened to the Democratic Party. No, not literally. You know, we got to sit down. And I'll never forget he took out an envelope. In a pen out of his breast pocket, his suit jacket, and he kneeled down at the coffee table in the hotel room, and he put a little star. He said, okay, so what's the first question? And Scott, don't have hell or any other question. That's where we came up with what I want to know is.”
