who beat bill clinton's wife. you had them sitting on the stage saying this is what we need to do. as joe always talks about, you're going to have the stream on both sides, but a lot of people had to pay attention, because if you were a democrat or independent, you had to be one that probably supported clinton or obama, even if you were lukewarm about biden. i think it was a good night for biden last night. >> susan page, what do you think the political impact of this event, having these three presidents on the stage this early in the campaign? >> just to build on something else john said about the fact that donald trump is a well-known figure, it's different than with mitt romney during his campaign, but one of the things the biden campaign wants to do is remind people about what they may have forgotten about donald trump. in our latest usa today suffolk poll we asked do you approve of the job donald trump as president. his approval rating was higher than it ever was during her presidency. i think there are voter

susan page, it's interesting to see bill clinton in this group tonight. bill clinton, for a couple of campaign cycles, was not out on the trail, not by his choice but by the choice of the presidential nominees. specifically, al gore in 2000 and even what you saw in 2008 and 2015 and '16 with hillary clinton. she wanted to be her own person. there was always the overhanging of questions about her marriage. >> yeah. absolutely. what a tableau tonight. look at the contrast with donald trump. george w. bush has not endorsed donald trump. his own vice president, mike pence, hasn't endorsed donald trump. you see a big -- a contrast there, including bill clinton who hasn't been as featured a player in the last couple of elections. you get the sense, i think, of joe biden hitting his stride here on campaign cash, on campaign events. he has got to eight battleground states since super tuesday. after a rough start, he is beginning to find traction here. >> susan, you may recall this. i was at the constitution center in 2004 when john kerry was running. bill clinton

joining them for good measure the former president bill clinton. three american presidents on one stage together in front of thousands of people in a discussion moderated by stephen colbert. leon who worked for both the obama and clinton administrations told the associated press there isering to be gained by joe biden standing next to bill clinton and barack obama. that picture is worth a hell of a lot in politics today. the ap report also note it is display of solidarity is a sharp contrast to donald trump's isolation from other republican leaders. the optics here are clear. democrats are united, and republicans are not. and the biden campaign is leaning into that. the president will be using this fund raising event to keep building on what has become joe biden's massive and for republicans rather worrisome campaign cash lead over donald trump. it is very early in what promises to be a long general election campaign. but if you had to pick for just this one week, would you rather be candidate biden or candidate trump? that is tonight's last word.

it's crazy. >> because bill clinton never made them feel how donald trump makes them feel. donald trump has a connection to people in a way that sort of elicits a permission structure, a sort of brand, an idea, a sentiment that they attach to. >> wait, wait, who? where are they raised? >> doesn't matter. >> they may have gone to the church i went to, but they weren't raised by my parents. >> yeah. >> where were these people raised, that they would like a guy that treats people this way? a guy that -- >> well -- >> -- reveres hitler, xi, putin. i can go down the list. what, they like this guy? he makes them feel good? >> yes! yes, joe. >> who? who feels good doing that? >> i can't wrap any head around it, but they do. you talk to them. you've been in the room with them. you can hear it in their voices a lot of times. you know how these folk -- it's just the thing that connects to them. how do you explain, on the heels of the "access hollywood" tape when donald trump denigrates women, that 52% of white suburban women vote for him in the following election? >> more than denigr

nominated by president bill clinton in 1994, justice breyer was confirmed by an 87 to 9 margin. here's how the senate leaders at the time talked about his confirmation process. >> let me ask you first about the supreme court, the nomination of stephen breyer. senator dole, your reaction? >> good choice. not a conservative, but i think not as liberal as blackman, a man of great intellect. he is respected by republicans or democrats, unless something unforeseen happens, it will be an easy confirmation. >> senator mitchell? >> i think he will be confirmed easily. he has a solid record, good jurist. i don't think the labels conservative liberals mean much when applied to judges. history indicates that it's not particularly predictable as to the issues that would occur during his tenure or what the reaction would be. i think he's a very good judge of sound legal mind, good training, well experienced, and i think an excellent choice by the president. >> a very different time. more from the panel next. ent tie more from the panel next after advil: let's dive in! but...what about your b

bill clinton was fascinating, deconstructing the economic argument that biden needs to be making, while also being a little more direct in challenging donald trump as well. we also heard, of course, from president biden, more than a few personal digs against his predecessor and opponent this year. let's listen to another one of them. >> can voters trust a presidential candidate who has not won a single trump international golf club trophy? have you no chip shot? >> i would be happy to play. i told him once before, when he came into the oval -- when he was being -- before he got sworn in. i said, i will give you three strokes if you carry your own bag. >> reporter: i was speaking with donors who are attending a finance committee meeting of some of the campaign's top donors in new york. the president also just spoke to that audience. he continued his barbs against trump in a more serious way. he called donald trump the most undemocratic president in this country since the civil war. he talked about the stakes globally as well, saying the world looks to this country for stability. an impli
