is benghazi really behind her? >> i think so. the moments that you noticed with the e-mail to her family and with the call to the egyptian prime minister, and i was working for president obama at the time of benghazi. those first few days afterwards, it was very confusing. there was literally the fog of war and we had intelligence coming in that said conflicting things. so what you saw in her public statements at the time, what you saw in her private correspondents with her family and in phone conversations is the best information we had then. and the situation kept changing until, eventually, a still relatively muddled picture emerged of a lot of factors that contributed to this. it was partly the video. you know, there was terrorist activity behind this. the man who was eventually arrested said the video had inspired him. so, but what is revealed when you are able to see how these pieces, what happens behind the scenes is what it's really like to be there, which is conflicting information, and that's what that was reflected on,

satisfied with clinton's benghazi response? only 27%. benghazi investigation fair or partisan? which is the flip side question. they say kind of the same way, same breakdown of she wasn't forthcoming enough, they're not fair enough. then clinton's private server a factor in the 2016 vote. is important, not important, don't know? the democrats and the faithful can say as much as they want. this is a nonissue. obviously these people who are being asked this question. >> it's almost divided in terms of is it important, is it not important? zeke? >> certainly this is going to be an issue for her. she has to set some of the concerns aside. she did a really good job in testifying into 2013 when she testified on capitol hill. but for those ten seconds. she needs to be fairly -- when she says what difference does it make? she needs to be pretty darn perfect tomorrow. otherwise there will be concerns in the democratic party that she's not teflon like we saw in the debate last week. maybe there are flaws that republicans and maybe other democrats can exploit. >> thank you for previewing
