Helene Cooper: ‘Perplexing’ Hillary’s Making the Same Mistakes as in 2008

CHUCK TODD:

You know, Helene, I know you're a national security reporter, you're not a political reporter. So you covered her as a national security leader. But do you feel like you got a sense of what her vision is for the world?

HELENE COOPER:

I don't think I have as good a sense as I could have. And I'm really perplexed, because she's been through this before. And the weird thing for me is that I see her making a lot of the same mistakes as she did in 2008. And I find that a little perplexing.

We've seen a lot of, you know, Hillary Clinton on the defensive. We haven't seen her on the front foot going forward. And I'm very perplexed as to why we have not seen that. I do agree that she should be coming out a whole lot more, and particular so that it's not as big a new event.
