Back in 1992, Michigan State University hosted one of the Clinton-Bush-Perot Presidential debates, and you were here for that debate. What I most remember about that morning is how terribly sick you were, and yet you sounded great on the air! You had a bad cold, but every time the microphone was on, you sounded great. SP: People are hearing you these days on the "Morning Edition" "Ask Cokie" segments. The fact that a Democrat took the state and the Governor's mansion is something that was very much on the top of the political radar screen. CR: I think that one of the things that people are unaware of is when they talk about the suburban vote, how much of the suburban vote is a minority vote. SP: Names are already starting to emerge as possible Presidential candidates in 2020. I wanted to ask you if you have any thoughts at this very early stage, maybe names we're not hearing yet, maybe even Republicans who might challenge President Trump? CR: Republicans are talking about it. We know that if somebody does run, that it very much damages the President.
