Episode 482: BOB DOLE 1995 Clintons Comeback (Part 23) : The New Hampshire Republican Presidential Campaign Forum B Inside Politics Analysis Special Edition CNN · BOB DOLE : 1995 Clinton's Comeback

0:53
SPEAKER_00: And then the first opportunity to hear all the Republican candidates in person together.
1:01
SPEAKER_00: And that's why we've included it because I thought it was very important.
1:07
SPEAKER_00: From the 90s who were competing to be president of challenging bonds.
1:11
SPEAKER_00: One of them in particular will emerge more Alexander.
1:15
SPEAKER_00: And he went on to be a U.S.
1:16
SPEAKER_00: Senator who had retired from the U.S.
1:19
SPEAKER_00: Senator.
2:38
SPEAKER_05: For the first time on the same stage, the ten major GOP presidential candidates answered questions and spoke to the nation, although not directly to one another.
2:49
SPEAKER_05: The forum left little room for any real sparks or surprises except for a brief loss of lighting, which lasted about five or six minutes.
2:57
SPEAKER_05: The candidates mostly stuck to the themes that they'd been stressing out on the campaign trail, apparently with a hope that voters in the first presidential primary state across America are starting to get their message.
3:10
SPEAKER_05: First, Lamar Alexander, the former governor of Tennessee, talked about being a different kind of candidate.
3:17
SPEAKER_09: I'm different.
3:19
SPEAKER_09: Most of them are from Washington, D.C.
3:22
SPEAKER_09: I'm from outside Washington.
3:24
SPEAKER_09: The real world.
3:25
SPEAKER_09: Listen carefully tonight.
3:27
SPEAKER_09: For an hour and a half, I don't think you'll hear any of them from Washington talking about term limits, about million-dollar congressional pensions, about cutting their own pay and sending themselves home and having a citizen Congress.
3:39
SPEAKER_05: It's hard to change the culture of Washington if you are shortly thereafter, the former television commentator Pat Buchanan picked up on that theme and talked about being someone who was not a Washington professional politician.
3:55
SPEAKER_08: Let me tell you why I believe you can rely upon me for that new leadership.
3:59
SPEAKER_08: Because I'm not a professional politician, and even my critics in Washington will tell you Pat Buchanan is a man who says what he means and means what he says, a man you can trust.
4:10
SPEAKER_05: The man who's pretty much conceded to be the front runner in the race, Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, came along next and spent much of his time criticizing President Clinton.
4:22
SPEAKER_11: President Clinton stands in the way.
4:25
SPEAKER_11: When we seek to end affirmative action, restore school prayer, return power to the states under the Tenth Amendment, he defends the status quo.
4:34
SPEAKER_11: He uses the presidency to spread fear and divide us one against another.
4:41
SPEAKER_11: What change he has delivered has been for the worse.
4:44
SPEAKER_11: Over regulating your businesses, hollowing out our military, raising your taxes$265 million, and surrendering our interests to the United Nations.
4:56
SPEAKER_05: When it was the turn of Texas Senator Phil Brand in this somewhat unusual format tonight, he hit hard on that, among other things, on the question of racial quotas and affirmative action.
5:07
SPEAKER_10: I am committed to equal opportunity.
5:10
SPEAKER_10: I'm committed to saying that every American has unlimited opportunity in this country.
5:15
SPEAKER_10: I want to reach out to people, but I am opposed to quotas and I am opposed to set asides because they create divisiveness.
5:23
SPEAKER_10: There's only one fair way to decide who gets a job, who gets promoted, and who gets a contract, and that's merit.
5:32
SPEAKER_05: Some other highlights of tonight's candidates' forum.
5:35
SPEAKER_05: Bob Dornan, the congressman from uh California, said that he will be staying at the presidential race.
5:41
SPEAKER_05: He announced tonight that he plans to run for his congressional seat and to continue to run for president.
5:47
SPEAKER_05: Uh Pennsylvania Senator Arlene Spector defended his position as uh pro-abortion rights, pro-choice position.
5:54
SPEAKER_05: He said, in fact, that he's the one true conservative in the race, the one who believes that government should stay out of that decision uh for every woman in the country.
6:02
SPEAKER_05: Steve Forbes, the uh millionaire publisher of uh and uh owner of Forbes magazine, he this was really the first chance that many voters in New Hampshire and across the country have had a chance to look at this uh businessman.
6:15
SPEAKER_05: He hit heart, among other things, on the flat tax that he's been talking about, uh, and on his support for term limits.
6:22
SPEAKER_05: And finally, businessman Maury Taylor, who has not uh been uh someone who's been very visible, at least out on the campaign trail, uh talked about uh he really reached out to Perot supporters and said that uh he doesn't see any need for a third party, believes that those those uh people who support Ross Perot ought to be in the Republican Party.
6:41
SPEAKER_05: Now let's go to my colleague Bernard Shaw, who was there, uh who's there in the auditorium uh in Manchester, New Hampshire.
6:48
SPEAKER_05: Bernie, you were there at the very beginning of the evening to introduce this forum, and it turned out to be a pretty unusual evening, didn't it?
6:56
SPEAKER_02: It certainly did, uh Judy.
6:57
SPEAKER_02: Uh at one point when the lights went out, the state Republican Party chairman said, quote, only in New Hampshire, and he looked at me and rolled his eyes like that.
7:07
SPEAKER_02: Our national political analyst Bill Schneider is here.
7:10
SPEAKER_02: Uh, Bill, let's go down this candidates list and take a look uh at uh your impressions.
7:16
SPEAKER_02: Bob Dole just walked past here and he yelled, Bernie, get it right.
7:20
SPEAKER_02: And if you have to coach Snyder, go ahead and do so.
7:23
SPEAKER_02: I won't coach Bill, but I'll just go down the list.
7:25
SPEAKER_02: Lamar Alexander.
7:27
SPEAKER_07: He's the outsider.
7:28
SPEAKER_07: Each candidate used this opportunity as a kind of advertisement.
7:31
SPEAKER_07: Here's the gist of my campaign message.
7:33
SPEAKER_07: Alexander, I'm an outsider.
7:35
SPEAKER_02: Matt Buchanan.
7:37
SPEAKER_07: Anger, anger over the lack of political reform, over people's economic insurity.
7:41
SPEAKER_07: He expresses that anger very strongly.
7:43
SPEAKER_02: And we might tell you, Judy and our viewers, this cacophony of noise behind us is coming from all these candidates who are hugging their supporters and posing for pictures.
7:54
SPEAKER_02: And as uh Dick Luger said, some of the journalists are talking to him.
7:59
SPEAKER_02: Bob Doe.
8:00
SPEAKER_07: Maturity.
8:01
SPEAKER_07: He appealed to the sense that people want someone who's mature, stable, um, different from Bill Clinton, and perhaps even Newt Gingrich.
8:08
SPEAKER_07: Maturity is his strong suit.
8:10
SPEAKER_07: He played to it.
8:11
SPEAKER_02: Dorny of California.
8:12
SPEAKER_07: He praised his own consistency.
8:14
SPEAKER_07: He's been there a long time.
8:15
SPEAKER_07: He's the most consistent, conservative ideologue.
8:18
SPEAKER_02: The publisher, Steve Forbes.
8:20
SPEAKER_07: Optimism.
8:21
SPEAKER_07: He said he was the one who believes if we remove obstacles from the country, we can achieve growth and have a great American future.
8:27
SPEAKER_07: He was the most optimistic of the candidates.
8:30
SPEAKER_02: And the man who called one of the moderators uh questions stupid, Alan Keyes.
8:36
SPEAKER_07: Alan Keyes' issue is the family.
8:38
SPEAKER_07: I mean, he said that the basic problem in this country is to restore the integrity of the marriage-based two-parent family.
8:44
SPEAKER_07: That's at the core of our problems, not economics.
8:46
SPEAKER_07: That's the issue he's insistent on putting on the agenda.
8:49
SPEAKER_02: By the way, as a debate moderator, I was sensitive to being uh uh having colleague called uh Stupid for asking a question.
8:56
SPEAKER_02: He had asked the question about legislating morality.
8:59
SPEAKER_02: Uh Dick Luger.
9:01
SPEAKER_07: I think he appealed to a sense of dignity.
9:03
SPEAKER_07: He said a president has to command respect.
9:05
SPEAKER_07: He's been very dignified in his campaign, he was dignified in his answer.
9:09
SPEAKER_07: Uh he has a kind of stature in this race, and I think he called attention to it tonight.
9:13
SPEAKER_02: And something Judy Keyday, an Arl Inspector with a bit graphic showing the flat tax.
9:17
SPEAKER_02: Uh that kind of thing resonates in New Hampshire.
9:20
SPEAKER_07: Of course it does.
9:21
SPEAKER_07: But I think what's distinctive about Arl Inspector is he described himself tonight as a libertarian, and his strongest message is let's get social issues off the agenda, government out of the bedroom.
9:30
SPEAKER_07: Phil Graham.
9:32
SPEAKER_07: Pardon me?
9:32
SPEAKER_07: Phil Graham.
9:33
SPEAKER_07: Phil Graham.
9:34
SPEAKER_07: You forgot him.
9:35
SPEAKER_07: Tough.
9:36
SPEAKER_07: Bill Graham said, I'm the tough guy.
9:37
SPEAKER_07: I've made the tough decisions, made them all my life.
9:39
SPEAKER_07: I was a foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution.
9:41
SPEAKER_07: He's tough, he's dogged, he's persistent.
9:44
SPEAKER_02: Okay, and finally, the businessman Maury Taylor, who said some curious things about the United States troops should not be in Bosnia.
9:51
SPEAKER_07: No, he says we have no business there, but his main message is management.
9:55
SPEAKER_07: I'm a businessman.
9:56
SPEAKER_07: I founded a company, I've made my own way in the world.
9:58
SPEAKER_07: He said management skills are needed, I've got them.
10:01
SPEAKER_07: That's their message.
10:02
SPEAKER_02: Well, as Judy mentioned, the way things started out tonight did not look very promising.
10:08
SPEAKER_02: About 19 years ago, something similar happened in Philadelphia.
10:12
SPEAKER_02: The candidates, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford.
10:19
SPEAKER_12: And Harry, it appears that the sound is back.
10:22
SPEAKER_12: Sounds like it back, yeah.
10:24
SPEAKER_12: Jimmy Carter sitting with hands folded, President Ford uh wiping his brow, and both of them uh getting a little warm under those lights.
10:31
SPEAKER_12: And now it's a case of uh just waiting until they get the technical go ahead.
10:39
SPEAKER_02: We're certainly hearing full sound from uh very interesting.
10:44
SPEAKER_02: Lots of highlights tonight, and as you respond to the question, I'm gonna quickly search my notes because a few things struck me.
10:50
SPEAKER_02: Highlights for you.
10:51
SPEAKER_07: I think the major highlight was Bob Dole dealing, I think, very skillfully with the age issue.
10:57
SPEAKER_07: It's one of the most interesting questions about his race.
11:00
SPEAKER_07: He looked around, he made a bit of a joke about it.
11:02
SPEAKER_07: The same way Ronald Reagan did.
11:03
SPEAKER_07: He said, All these other guys look all right to me.
11:05
SPEAKER_07: Remember Reagan, when asked about the age issue uh when he was running against Walter Mondale, uh, defused the issue by making a joke about his opponent's age.
11:12
SPEAKER_07: In fact, he said, I'm not gonna make healthcare an issue with respect to the other candidates.
11:16
SPEAKER_07: And then he imitated a little bit of Gary Hart.
11:17
SPEAKER_07: When Hart got in trouble, he invited the press to follow me around, and then Reagan uh Dole echoed that sentiment and said, Follow me around, you'll find I'm very hearty and robust.
11:26
SPEAKER_07: Then he turned it to his advantage in his closing statement when he said, The coming generation of Americans deserve an America like the America I have known.
11:34
SPEAKER_07: That was a way of playing his strong suit, which is his generational appeal as an older American.
11:40
SPEAKER_07: And he even accused the Clinton administration of undermining values they don't even understand.
11:45
SPEAKER_07: Very interesting statement.
11:47
SPEAKER_07: In many ways, I thought that was the highlight of this debate.
11:49
SPEAKER_07: A few other points came across very interesting.
11:51
SPEAKER_07: I think Buchanan's argument uh appealing to the parole voters, we don't want to uh replace our set of uh professional politicians instead of their set of professional politicians.
12:02
SPEAKER_07: It was an interesting line.
12:03
SPEAKER_02: Also, Maury Taylor urging parole, don't form a third party.
12:07
SPEAKER_02: Right, come to the Republicans and help us, the Republicans, to be President Clinton.
12:12
SPEAKER_07: And a very revealing statement by Arlen Spector, who said the Clarence Thomas hearings, where he had been more or less the prosecutor who had grilled Anita Hill, he said that was a learning experience for him, and he had profoundly changed his view of the seriousness of sexual harassment in this country.
12:26
SPEAKER_02: Bill Schneider, two things that struck me.
12:29
SPEAKER_02: One was the uh natural sense of humor shown by Indiana's Dick Luger.
12:34
SPEAKER_02: You recall at one point Cameron, Carl Cameron, asked him, How do you break away from obscurity?
12:40
SPEAKER_02: He said that um that he needs to spend more time talking to reporters to be interviewed by reporters.
12:46
SPEAKER_02: I thought that was interesting.
12:47
SPEAKER_02: He showed good humor there.
12:49
SPEAKER_02: The other thing was we all know that the United States is on the verge of sending American men and women to Bosnia as peacekeepers.
12:58
SPEAKER_02: And I was struck by the response not only from Maury Taylor, the businessman, but also from Steve Forbes.
13:04
SPEAKER_02: Quote, I would absolutely oppose putting troops in Bosnia.
13:08
SPEAKER_02: Um, another debacle, as he called it.
13:11
SPEAKER_02: Do these candidates think that the American people are not interested in Bosnia?
13:15
SPEAKER_02: I submit that Bosnia is going to become a major campaign issue as we get closer to election day 76 or 96.
13:22
SPEAKER_07: It's going to be a major campaign issue, primarily because the president has committed the United States to sending troops there to enforce a ceasefire.
13:29
SPEAKER_07: The polls show that if a ceasefire is in place, Americans don't oppose that idea.
13:34
SPEAKER_07: Every single candidate endorsed the idea of America's world leadership, but they all said they draw the line at sending troops to Bosnia because they didn't think the United States has a role there, and several of them said we don't have an interest there.
13:45
SPEAKER_07: So you we're seeing a partisan differentiation on this issue.
13:48
SPEAKER_07: Democrats now the more internationalist party.
13:51
SPEAKER_07: Uh Republicans claim they're not an isolationist party, but the Democrats have too much misguided interventionism.
13:57
SPEAKER_07: Well, we're going to see the Bosnia issue heat up and become a defining issue, I think, for the two parties in this race.
14:02
SPEAKER_02: Absolutely, I quite agree.
14:04
SPEAKER_02: Well, for Bill Schneider, I'm Bernard Shaw here in Manchester.
14:06
SPEAKER_02: We're not done yet.
14:08
SPEAKER_02: It's very active here tonight, Judy, here on the banks of the Merrimack River.
14:12
SPEAKER_02: Uh the candidates are very excited.
14:14
SPEAKER_02: It's all over.
14:15
SPEAKER_02: There are ten parties planned around downtown Manchester.
14:18
SPEAKER_02: It's warm in here in this former textile meal.
14:22
SPEAKER_02: Mill, we'll throw it back to you.
14:23
SPEAKER_02: And I know you have two guests coming up very shortly, and later on we'll hear from our man Bruce Morton.
14:29
SPEAKER_05: Right, Bernie, that's right.
14:30
SPEAKER_05: It looks like there is a lot of commotion there.
14:32
SPEAKER_05: And just picking up on that last point you made, it was striking, I thought, that there was so little said tonight about international policy.
14:38
SPEAKER_05: Coming up next from New Hampshire, we'll get some homegrown perspective on the GOP Presidential Candidate Forum.
14:44
SPEAKER_05: We'll talk with a local pollster and the news director of WMUR TV.
15:07
SPEAKER_05: What will the voters in the Granite State make of it?
15:09
SPEAKER_05: Who helped or hurt their cause?
15:12
SPEAKER_05: So let's get some reaction.
15:13
SPEAKER_05: Now we go back to Manchester.
15:15
SPEAKER_05: WNUR TV News Director Jack Heath and Linda Fowler, a professor of government at Dartmouth College, who conducted a recent poll in the state.
15:25
SPEAKER_05: Thank you both for joining us.
15:26
SPEAKER_05: Thank you.
15:27
SPEAKER_05: Jack, to you first, just a quick question about that technical problem at the beginning.
15:31
SPEAKER_05: What happened when all the lights went out?
15:34
SPEAKER_06: Well, I don't know if any Democrats were on the premises, but I appeared to be a classic live TV problem with a power surge.
15:40
SPEAKER_06: It was quickly restored and uh the lights came back on, and so did the dialogue.
15:45
SPEAKER_05: Well, that's right.
15:46
SPEAKER_05: Jack, you said before this debate tonight that the key question tonight was how would Bob Dole do?
15:51
SPEAKER_05: Let me ask you, how how did he do from your perspective?
15:55
SPEAKER_06: I think Bob Dole did what he had to do.
15:57
SPEAKER_06: He acted uh he played the role of fr front runner.
16:00
SPEAKER_06: He uh uh I thought he expressed why he's running, uh, he addressed the age question.
16:05
SPEAKER_06: I was frankly surprised at the rest of the field um that they did not target him more in their dialogue, but it was a civil discussion.
16:12
SPEAKER_06: They talked more about the White House, they chose to talk individually about themselves, and I think in this day and age of politics getting a bad name for name-calling, the entire field perhaps deserves to be praised for a civil discussion on the issues.
16:26
SPEAKER_05: Linda Fowler, a civil discussion, therefore nothing remarkable or very memorable from this uh gathering.
16:34
SPEAKER_01: I um I think the candidates were intent on taking advantage of the uh coverage that they had tonight, and particularly since so many of them are not very well known, it was more important for them to focus on their own positions and their own credentials and why they would be good for the job.
16:52
SPEAKER_05: Well, who did the best job of that?
16:54
SPEAKER_05: Who was the most effective at telling about themselves?
16:56
SPEAKER_05: What about Steve Forbes, for example?
16:59
SPEAKER_06: I I I thought Steve Forbes did a very good job.
17:02
SPEAKER_06: Uh, even when Carl asked him a question about something he probably wasn't prepared to answer about crime since he's talking the economy, he had some answers.
17:09
SPEAKER_06: Uh, he's a classic example, someone who could benefit from the airtime that Linda Fowler just expressed.
17:14
SPEAKER_06: Uh uh Bob Dole had to just not slip.
17:17
SPEAKER_06: Someone like Steve Forbes and some of the lesser knowns had to shine.
17:20
SPEAKER_06: I thought Forbes did a good job.
17:22
SPEAKER_05: Linda Fowler, did anyone in particular hurt himself tonight with the voters?
17:27
SPEAKER_05: What do you think?
17:29
SPEAKER_01: I um I didn't see any major gaps.
17:32
SPEAKER_01: I think there were some candidates who um needed a little more punch than they uh than they showed on this, and actually I think Joel was one of them.
17:42
SPEAKER_01: Um I think the the the caution that goes with the front runner um is always a handicap as well, and I think um the fact that he's been running so long as front runner and still has so long to go with really showing on him tonight.
17:56
SPEAKER_05: What do you mean?
17:57
SPEAKER_05: You said he needed more punch.
17:58
SPEAKER_05: What do you mean by that?
18:00
SPEAKER_01: Well, I think at the end of his speech when he was summarizing his remarks, he was uh attempting to show some conviction about why he would be a good president.
18:10
SPEAKER_01: Um, but it it sounded scripted to me.
18:14
SPEAKER_06: I I thought um Dole did what he had to, but I was surprised that Senator Graham, who's been such a vocal critic of the front runner and the Senate Majority Leader, did not target him more.
18:22
SPEAKER_06: I thought Graham was uh uh quite polite, if you will.
18:26
SPEAKER_06: The one thing that surprised me is the field as a whole did not counter the recent White House Clinton attacks, that their budget cuts are an attack on the average American family, attacks on the American family, and that they're a party of the wealthy.
18:39
SPEAKER_06: Uh they did not address some of the recent White House attacks, but in general it was a civil discussion, and as I say, I think it was a good chance for New Hampshire and the nation to see this field sit together as a whole.
18:50
SPEAKER_05: Let me ask you about one or two of the others who are considered uh sort of leading the pack up there, if you will.
18:54
SPEAKER_05: What about uh Lamar Alexander?
18:56
SPEAKER_05: How did he do, Linda Fowler?
18:58
SPEAKER_01: I thought he did an excellent job.
19:00
SPEAKER_01: Um he came across as approachable, uh he made his outsider message sound convincing, even though some of the press are skeptical about it.
19:08
SPEAKER_01: Um and he um I think he helped himself tonight.
19:12
SPEAKER_06: And go ahead.
19:14
SPEAKER_06: He had a good line, Judy was talking about uh the outsider insider about how he stayed long enough just not to get infected and uh vaccination or something like that and left so he showed a little bit of humor.
19:24
SPEAKER_05: And finally, Pat Buchanan, how did he do?
19:27
SPEAKER_06: Um I thought I thought I thought Pat could have done a little better.
19:31
SPEAKER_06: He's such a good uh speaker.
19:33
SPEAKER_06: Uh in fact, he's an excellent speaker.
19:35
SPEAKER_06: He he did a good job.
19:36
SPEAKER_06: Uh, you know, his base up here probably wouldn't be affected either way.
19:39
SPEAKER_06: It was the other types of candidates you just mentioned, Lamar Alexander, who probably had more to gain or lose.
19:43
SPEAKER_06: And but I thought Pat was uh what he had to do.
19:46
SPEAKER_06: I thought he might have been a little louder.
19:50
SPEAKER_05: All right, uh Linda Fowler, we're gonna have to we're gonna have to leave it at that.
19:54
SPEAKER_05: Linda Fowler, Jack Heath, thank you for that uh quick perspective on on tonight's forum.
20:00
SPEAKER_05: Coming up next, how do the candidates' campaigns feel about how their men did at tonight's forum?
20:05
SPEAKER_05: Our Bruce Morton will join us with the latest spin.
20:31
SPEAKER_02: All the uh candidates, uh their spokespeople are spinning, spinning, spinning on how they think their candidate did, and there are other things going on here.
20:40
SPEAKER_03: Well, one of the things, Bernie, was uh question before whether Phil Graham during this forum would invite uh majority leader Bob Dole to sign this pledge, which is a pledge to stick by the 245 billion figure for the tax cut that was promised in the contract with America.
20:55
SPEAKER_03: Graham signed it earlier this evening at a rally, a big blown-up version.
20:59
SPEAKER_03: And his handlers say that if it had come up in the questioning, we might have done it here, but uh we really wanted the senator to tell the people who he is, and uh this will be an ongoing issue, they say, between Graham and Dole.
21:11
SPEAKER_03: What were you able to hear from all of the spendmeisters in this cavernous second floor room?
21:16
SPEAKER_03: Well, uh, the first thing is that Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment did really well.
21:20
SPEAKER_03: Uh nobody did anything mean about anybody.
21:23
SPEAKER_03: Partly, I think, because of the format, there was no chance for one candidate to look at another and say you're wrong.
21:28
SPEAKER_03: And I suppose if we're gonna do pluses and minuses, that's uh that adds up to a good evening for Bob Dole.
21:35
SPEAKER_03: Nobody dented the front runner because nobody tried to.
21:39
SPEAKER_02: They seem to be trying to look collectively presidential.
21:42
SPEAKER_03: Presidential, and I think one other thing.
21:44
SPEAKER_03: You can point to specific disagreements, flat tax versus sales tax, but this is a party that's very united on issues: less government, more personal responsibility.
21:54
SPEAKER_03: There's a big area where they agree with each other.
21:57
SPEAKER_03: I don't know that the Democrats could say that right now.
22:00
SPEAKER_02: Bruce, let's get personal for a moment.
22:03
SPEAKER_02: Uh few political reporters have covered presidential campaigns as often as you, and certainly not this leg of it, the New Hampshire primary.
22:10
