Pete interviewed in Las Vegas (by Ali Velsher and Stephanie Ruhle) [View all]
In a way, you could say this is just another off-the-cuff interview, no biggie, just a series of answers to rapid-fire questions on Bernie's health, Trump's instability, impeachment, Trump on border issues, and the economy . But to my mind that's exactly what's so remarkable: he nails each and every question, even on the fly. As usual.
No teleprompter here, no way to prepare in advance for the questions. But each answer is spot-on, and often with truly fresh insights (for instance, he noted that we measure the wrong aspects of the economy - a better measure of economic growth is income growth for the 90%).
He just never gets it wrong. I can't think of a single statement that he's had to "explain" or walk back. And in his interviews and speeches, he always, always connects the dots to larger, deeper issues, conveying wisdom far beyond his years that, IMO, is a cut above any of his competitors.
This is, simply, a president.
