Cokie Roberts: Hillary Knows ‘Everything About Every Issue’

‘Any time you’re with her in a setting with actual people she wows them’

You sort of see Donald Trump’s numbers going up — (Laughs) – and same time it’s Hillary Clinton’s numbers are going up. That is sort of a political circle of life where everybody does better there. But, what does Hillary do when she’s actually up on the podium tonight? She’s obviously doing well in some of the states we previewed.

BRZEZINSKI: “I doubt it.”

They need to make people — they all look at Carly Fiorina and think while she did well with the debates, it’s my turn now. We’ll see if that happens.”
