Paul Begala on Hillary: Dems ‘Will Never Allow a Coronation’

‘This is not gonna be coronation’

CUOMO: “But sometime there's motivation within the party that doesn't wind up being manifested by the party. Let me ask you one quick thing, Paul. If somebody were going to come into the field to challenge Hillary Clinton, who do you think poses more of a threat, John Kerry or Joe Biden?” 
BEGALA: “Well, they're both phenomenal and to –“
CUOMO: “Got to pick it. Pick it, Begala. Don't hedge on me.” 
BEGALA: “No, I honestly don't know. You'd have to put them on the track. You know, I don't think either of them has ever said that they're running. I guess the vice president has kept that option open. The secretary of state is a little busy right now. But, fundamentally, there's going to be a contest in my party. And Tara's right, Bernie has moved -- he's in the double digits nationally. That's not what's most important. What's most important is what Tara said, look at those early states, Iowa, Nebraska. You're going to have a tough, tough primary battle. You -- I've been saying this for months. This is going to be very close. Hillary will win. I really believe she will. Of course you know I work for a super PAC that supports her. But this is not going to be a coronation. Democrats will never allow a coronation.”
