Tom Friedman: ‘What Hobbled Hillary Last Time Is the Same this Time’

TODD: "We also got the financial disclosure. Tom Friedman, do you think this matters? Over the last year, it's a stunning number. 104 speeches that the two Clintons have gave over 16 months, they made over $25 million for these speeches. It seems as if, was that met, you know, do you have to do all of that? It's all paid speak. And here she wants to talk about income inequality. Do you think that's going to lead to sort of a tone-deafness?"
FRIEDMAN: "You know, I don't know Chuck. Money in politics now is big as all outdoors. I don't know how long that lasts. But I would tell you this, I'll go back to what David and Sara said. It's going to last a long time if she doesn't come out there and talk about a real vision that she has for the country and why she is running for president. I've only covered one campaign, it was Bill Clinton's. And I knew why he was running."
TODD: "From the beginning."
FRIEDMAN: "From the beginning. He was a conservative Democratic. He had a take on the world and everything was connected to that. And I think what hobbled Hillary last time is what I see hobbling her again, which is what is your take on the world? What do you really believe? And how is this connected to that? And until she fills that void, money, everything else is going to jump in there."
