CNN’s Jeff Zeleny: ‘Not Every Democrat Is Ready for Hillary’

CUOMO: "I heard, Jeff, that they're wrestling with a little something of the same thing they did last time, which is that then and now, Hillary felt, their team felt like, we don't know what the upside is to our announcement that everybody knows we're going to run, we're the biggest person in the race, we don't want to match momentum with these lesser players. So, you know, what do we get out of this? How do we limit it from just a bad thing to what it is opposed to everybody else, which is like a boon to the candidacy?"
ZELENY: "No question about it. I mean, the biggest boon of an announcement is just finally getting in. The reality is we've seen in polls this week, she needs to get in and she needs to start reintroducing herself to voters. The email controversy and everything else has taken a toll on her in battleground states. Her soon-to-be advisers have taken focus groups in Iowa and New Hampshire, and perhaps elsewhere, and they know that she has some work to do with voters. Not every Democrat is ready for Hillary. So, that is the biggest reason to get in, to start this conversation, start going on offense a little bit."
