0:00.0	A bullpitcher attacks on tap with David Axelrod and Mike Murphy.
0:23.9	Well here we are in beautiful Southern California both in the same place in the middle of the
0:28.7	damn night because we love you. Your thinner than I thought. Actually it's the dim light here in the
0:35.4	Axelrod command bunker near CNN where you were part of the team. I was over at MSNBC
0:42.6	Trashing your coverage. And now here we both are to talk about the great the amazing last
0:48.2	debate of the year. Yeah. What do you think? I actually thought it was the best debate.
0:53.8	A lot of things I agree. I mean first of all there's I think we've now proven the fact that

1:57.0	he's seen he was good. The answer on why you know we needed consensus was probably his best moment
2:07.4	not just in the debate maybe this best moment of the campaign. Let's listen to that.
2:13.0	I refuse to accept the notion as some on this stage do that we can never never get to a place

2:24.2	reach consensus and if anyone has reason to be angry with the Republicans and not want to
