[laughter] [cheering] sanders: but the point is, when people at the grassroots start moving, and when they say this is not right, in this country people should have the right to love anyone they want regardless of their gender -- [applause] tremendous changes took place. and now, you go and talk to young people, they shrug their shoulders and say what is the big deal? that is what a revolution is about.

marco rubio ran as young senate candidate with the tea party support, promptly went to washington, d.c. and immediately led the effort, not just supported, led the effort for amnesty with a gang of eight bill. that is being dishonest with the voters and people are sick of it and it's not going to happen up here. >> well, it looks like he's paying off because he's moving up in the polls. >> we'll see. we'll see what the poll is on election day. >> jeff, donald trump posted this video message. >> the great slogan of new hampshire, "live free or die" means so much to so many people. all over the world they use thaethat expression, it means liberty, it means free enterprise it, means borders, strong, strong military where nobody is going to mess with us, it means take caring of our vets. what a great slogan. congratulations, new hampshire. wonderful job. >> does this video make up for him not being this with just a couple days before the primary? >> he was up there. >> this is for jeff. >> he was right there. he's coming right back. the snowstorm hit obviously. over the thing is it's tough

"let's dispense with this notion o once and for all i knew what i was doing when i made my draft picks." her draft pick has come to an end with 5,300

they're both for comprehensive immigration reform but let's get to the political realities of what washington is like. >> maria teresa, you were on the ground in nevada recently talking to caucusgoers including first time caucusgoers. in terms of the depth of policy here, is that going to be the grounds on which people make their decision between these two candidates? is that the grounds on which people decide whether or not to go out, whether they feel there's real mastery and commitment on these issues? >> i think that's part of it. when you look at first time caucusgoers, first time voters in most immigrant communities, i liken them to buying their first car. they ask the tough questions to see how much mileage is a car is going to get. if it works, they bet on you. that's what they're doing. if you saw a lot of questions being asked today, they were quite sophisticated for first time voters. they're getting into the meat and potatoes of it. i want to talk about the whole idea what we're seeing on the ground when it comes to why many of the unions don't want to endorse. it's because there

i know i date myself when i tell you in 1963, i was there in washington for the march on washington, for the march on washington, for jobs and freedom with dr. martin luther king. this has been something i have felt strongly about my entire life. >> i want follow up something you said at last week's debate, you said race relations would be better under a president sanders than a president obama. why do you believe that? >> i believe president obama has made significant progress. we're going to build on that progress. we can always do better. the progress that we can build on is to understand that we should not have 35% of african-american kids in this country living in poverty. we should not have -- we need real police reform. we need to make sure that when people are in jail, often african-american and latino, there's a path back to civil society so we don't have the race of resid vizzism that we do now. right now it turns out that we the african-american community and the white community smoke marijuana at about equal levels. it also turns out that blacks are four times more likely

it's liberal. 43% of iowa democrats told the washington post they are socialists. god bless them. i'm happy to hear it. it wasn't a must win state. i think he did well enough with an almost win to get a little bit of momentum going. it's not the same as if he had won. it's all we would be talking about if she lost and he won is when does she drop out. we would. we heard a bit of that last night. how quickly does she have to drop out if she loses iowa. it's a tough state. she came in third in 2008. it's not just little league or t ball to say you did really well. she does get the trophy going forward. she did win. she also won -- i watched a little caucus in waterloo which is the most diverse city in iowa where john louis visited the other night. she took those ten delegates, waterloo, iowa looks more like the rest of the country than the rest of iowa does. she really does have a lot of advantages going forward. bernie is changing the narrative. i think he did himself a lot of good there. >> ben, charlie just referenced ethanol. to me, if there was was one unambiguous winner was te

as the washington examiner points out 1.2 million people voted in republican primaries and caucuses so far. that's up 24% from 2012. these contrasting trends in voter turn out between democrats and republicans should not concern bernie sanders but could be a warning to the entire democratic party. are democrats suffering from enthusiasm gap and will that haunt them in november. joy, there's a bunch of ways you can read this data. what is your read of this so far? >> there's a couple ways to read it. one way is the shadow reelect phenomenon where democrats already have the white house. they are not motivated to take back the white house. they believe a lot of democratic voters assume hillary clinton will be the nominee, don't feel any urgency to go out and do anything about this. they may come back in the fall. the danger for bernie sanders is in that presumption is whether he has an actual chance of being the nominee meaning there's less nomination thinking he isn't going to win any way. the people northeast motivated to make a change are a small minority of the democrat party who want

available and taken care of, but also that people realize that they have this treasure right there in washington, d.c. >> all right. now, running the library of congress, the nation's library, seems like a pretty noncontroversial position, right? wrong. librarian of congress oversees the u.s. copyright office and a big proponent of information being free and equally available to everyone. not surprisingly, then, here's how the recording industry association of america responded to the news of her nomination. "it is worth noting the library of congress and the u.s. copyright office have been mutually respectful of each other's area of expertise. we hope new librarian will continue that respect for the co copyright's office expertise and recommendations to congress." in other words, stay in your own lane. her predecessor has been described as a technophobe. hayden was an outspoken opponent of the patriot act. presumably much like president obama's eventual pick for the supreme court, her confirmation will only be the first in a series of battles. we'll talk about that other batt battle, the one to

not only has trump adopted that tactic attacking usual suspects like the new york times and washington post, but he's turning it back on the c conservative media who started it in first place. trump seemed to have undermine the network in the eyes of its core audience with perception of the fox news brand among republican adults hitting its lowest point in three years according to a new survey. after being asked about his tax returns at last night's debate he dodged the question by insultinged to moderator using fox news's favorite method of taunting, ratings. >> a year ago you told me on my radio show, the audio in the transcript are out there on you tube that you would release your tax returns. >> true. >> are you going back on your commitment? >> first of all, very few people listen to your radio show, which happens to be true. check out the ratings. >> david, you've covered roger wo has run f who has run fox news since the inception. no response. no one watches you. your ratings are terrible. stick your finger in your ear. >> you would say the student has become the master but dona

>> joining me now, david weigel who covers national politics for the "washington post." i first met you nine years ago and you were the guy covering rand paul, rlibertarian movemen, ron paul revolution. you covered ron paul and rand paul for nine years. why did this not work out? >> think a place that sells really good sandwiches and tries to sell chinese food and pasta. he's trying to be too many people. he didn't have the interest in carrying that off. he thought he could add to his father's coalition. what he learned very wickly and couldn't really undo, if you try to add or change anything to the pure libertarian message, people bolt and don't trust you anymore. >> right, because ron paul actually did much better. he had his bloc, 15% to 20% of the electrate he superserved. rand came from that world obviously and thought he could give a libertarianism light that didn't work. >> he wasn't the america first alternate right person that ron paul was. every time he ran, had pat buchanan-ish views on race in the past and didn't hurt him when it came to foreign policy. peop

i've been in washington all day. i don't know the answer to that. she also put in a long day on the campaign trail yesterday. she did a number of events around the state and did a town hall meeting last night. >> if you're a democrat, and you include in your coalition, people sort of center, slightly center left, center left and left. then you have somebody comes along who is a bit to left than that and says i'm more progressive than you and you get into an argument, how do you win an argument on the democratic side that you want to be as progressive as the guy calls himself a socialist. how do you do that? >> i think that's the wrong fight. >> it's going on. >> the race isn't about who is the most progressive. hillary is better on some issues and bernie has been, what he would say, is better on some other issues. >> i like the way you said that. hillary is better at some issues and he would say he's better. >> if you look at guns, for example, hillary has been somebody out there on the front lines trying to do something about gun violence. bernie n

, the political grass roots speaking up and speaking out about what we have to try to accomplish in washington, but we also need to have a very clear set of goals that we are going to achieve and we need to level with the american people about what they are, what they will cost, what will be expected of our citizenry. so i see as president having a constant dialogue with americans. here's what we're trying to get done, here's why i need your help, here's why you may think comprehensive immigration reform isn't something you care about, but i'm telling you it will help fix the labor market, it will bring people out of the shadows. you have to make those connections so you have people with you every step of the way. that's what i want to do. >> thank you. before we go, i want to ask secretary clinton you've made it clear when you look at senator sanders you do not see a president. >> i did not say that. >> do you see a vice president? would you unit the party by trying to pick senator sanders as a running mate. >> i'm not getting ahead of myself. if i'm fortunate to be the nominee, the first per

people of vermont sent me to washington as an independent. that is true. on the other hand, i have -- when i was in the house for 16 years, i caucused with the democrats. in the senate for nine years caucused with the democrats, of course. i was elected by the democrats to be chair of the veterans committee three years ago which i'm very proud of and now in the -- am the ranking member on the budget committee, leaders of the democrats in opposition, the majority republicans. i'm running for president as a democrat. if elected, not only do i hope to bring forth a major change in national priorities but let me be frank, i do want to see major changes in the democratic party. i want to see working people and young people come into the party in a way that does not exist now. i want a 50-stage strategy so it's not just the party of 25 states. >> secretary clinton. >> the person who first put out the idea of a 50-state party strategy is former governor howard dean who is with us tonight. >> that's right. >> i'm very proud and grateful to have the support of so m

i do think there's a benefit to understanding how the process works in washington. much as we all think it needs to change, and i think that, one of the things i hear the most as i travel around new hampshire is why can't you guys just work together to deal with the problems facing the country. we need somebody who understands how to reach across the aisle. i think hillary has that. she has that history. that's what she did in the senate. it's what she ditd in the white house. it's what she did as secretary of state. >> the argument on the other side is we have this structure problem that's grown up in american politics. it's not just you guys. >> in the depths of the worth great depression could barely get more than two or three votes for a stimulus bill. >> when the united states was threatened by hitler in world war ii, one vote is what it took to pass the draft. it was just one vote to make that pass so that we could actually build the resources we needed to go fight to save the free world. i think this idea it's going to be overwhelming and easy is not right. >

from the washington examiner, whether it's successful is missing the point. he's doing so on a platform of the republican party that would now exist in washington. joining me now is michael steele. i want to get your reaction to this amazing moment where trump went adversarial on the room. i've never seen in a debate before. it's a strange choice. take a listen. >> how tough is it take property from an elderly woman. >> let me talk. quiet. >> how tough is it? >> a lot of times. that's all his donors and special interests. the reason they're not loving me is i don't want their money. i don't want their money. i don't need their money. i'm the only one that can say that. >> the rnc claims that only 75 of 1,000 seats went to donors. that was a i welcome their hatred moment to quote fdr from donald trump. >> exactly. you see candidates go after the moderator and score the brownie points there. who would go after the audience? donald trump. particularly, when that audience is not his audience. for him it was a win win. he could go in and smack them around. a lot o

continuing to walk out of the basilica of the national shrine of the immaculate conception here in washington, d.c. a powerful two hour mass of christian burial for antonin scalia, associate justice of the united states supreme court. jake, these were powerful two hours, i must say, especially because father paul scalia, the son, one of nine children of justice scalia delivered such a powerful homily. >> the ability of father paul scalia to conduct that service as the celebrant, offering the homily, with such dignity, i know he would say his faith got him through it, but how difficult to conduct a service like that for one's own father, especially a father who was such a larger than life figure, not only to the nation but according to the sons and family members of justice scalia, to the family as well. such a tribute to him that father scalia was able to do it in such a way, wolf. >> and he did combine personal reflections of his dad, his father, with such powerful meaning and even brought in a little joke here and there. >> he did. there were some moments here and there about the one time h

about records, that record right there means more than any legislation than any type of person up in washington, d.c. or the beltway has tried to pass. >> scottie, you bring up endorsements and how much does it matter? >> it always matters. >> well, in south carolina, look at rubio, he has the best list of endorsements you could get. >> and sarah palin did not bring iowa to donald trump as you know as well. >> mayor nutter. >> as someone who has run for office, you would like to have the endorsement but it is not true that the culinary workers endorsed secretary clinton. >> they did. >> and she addressed them and they were helpful, but by the way of the endorsement, and if you can get it, you would. >> and it stings more when it doesn't go your way. >> and in this day and age with the instant communication, endor endorsements are less important than they used to be, and it is the politics tof past. and we are have seen it frankly on both sides. >> in many instances the rank and file is making the decisions based on the information they are gettingt at wref, and at the risk of ever disagreeing w

cnn special coverage from washington, now begins. >>> we're counting down to two crucial contests in two states. >> both the democrats and the republicans have a lot on the line. >> announcer: it's a whole new climate in the presidential campaign with the first contests in the south and the west, the candidates are turning up the heat. >> it's not enough just to be against thing. >> they're throwing everything at me, except the kitchen sink. >> ted cruz, i think he's an unstable person. >> you noticed how rattled donald gets? boy, he really -- he lost. >> he is a liar. >> announcer: right now, in the democratic race, it's nevada's choice. hillary clinton, planning to look like a front-runner again, after her crushing loss to bernie sanders in new hampshire. it's the first battleground where minority voters could decide the winner. will they rally behind clinton and her her rebound? >> it's not whether you get knocked down that matters. it's whether you get back up! >> announcer: or will nevada feel the burn? >> a funny thing happened. the people became involved in the campaign. >> an

he was back in washington actually meeting with african-american leaders. he flew here and did three campaign events. a big difference in how they campaigned. hillary clinton i'm told by one close adviser was scared by what happened in new hampshire. so she clearly is campaigning more aggressively here. and the sanders campaign realizes they have a lot of energy a lot of support a lot of money behind them. this is not going to hurt him in the fundraising but it does show their campaign is not as equipped as her campaign to be as aggressive in these settings. she is the true athlete in this race. bernie sanders knows will have to step it up a little bit. >> impressive win for hillary clinton. she needed it she got it. she is going to be speaking soon. eventually we'll hear from bernie sanders as well. i want to go to brianna keilar right now. we expect to see her. i'm sure she is happy. she got the phone call from bernie sanders. >> we understand very much so wolf she is very happy. she was in her suite here at caesars palace receiving that phone call from b

in the campaign, you've heard a lot about washington and wall street. we all want to get secret, unaccountable money out of politics. that starts with appointing a new justice to the supreme court who will protect the right of every citizen to vote, not every corporation to buy elections. and we also agree that wall street can never be allowed to threaten main street again. no bank can be too big to fail, no executive too powerful to jail. but if we listen to the voices of flint and ferguson, if we open our hearts to the families of coal country and indian country, if we listen to the hopes and heartaches of hardworking people across america, it's clear there is so much more to be done. the truth is, we aren't a single issue country. we need more than a plan for the big banks. the middle class needs a raise! and we need more jobs! we need jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced, jobs that provide dignity and a future. we can do it by unleashing the innovation of our entrepreneurs and small businesses. we can do it with new investments in manufacturin

and if this polling is right, they show he's the one that will come to washington to break washington which people are ready to do. and they're the ones saying he's the one that will get us back to work. that is a powerful message. so all of this other stuff, people aren't identifying with that. and as a matter of fact, you'll even hear him -- i don't like everything he says but i like this. >> we'll continue this conversation in a second. i want to go back to wolf blitzer who has a key race alert. >> thanks. good conversation. this is a key race alert. take a look at this. very early, but donald trump maintaining a steady lead, 34.9%. marco rubio in second place right now 22.6%. ted cruz with 18%. jeb bush 12%. john kasich, 7.7. dr. ben carson, 4.8. less than 3,000 votes cast right now. but trump maintaining his lead, 356 votes right now, ahead of marco rubio. it's obviously dana and david, very early. you guys are working the exit polls and we're getting more indications of what's going on. >> really fascinating stuff. more about what the former congressman, mike rogers is talking a

in the campaign, you've heard a lot about washington and wall street. we all want to get secret, unaccountable money out of politics that starts with appointing a new justice to the supreme court. who will protect the right of every citizen to vote, not every corporation to buy elections. >> bernie sanders may have come in second, but he reminded his supporters where he was in the polls only a few months ago. >> we began in iowa. we were 50 points behind. when we began in new hampshire, we were 30 points behind. and we were way behind here in nevada. but what i think is happening is that as people hear our message -- and it's a tough message, because it speaks to the truth of an american society today that a lot of people just don't want to address. >> ron brownstein, the next big democratic contest is next saturday in south carolina primary. by all accounts, he's doing well there. >> absolutely. you'll see the biggest participation by african-americans where she won about three-quarters of them tonight in nevada as well. there was one bit of i think ve

recognizing that, you know what, we need somebody who is not part of the problem right now which is washington. if you are looking at the results here in south carolina, 43% of the voters went with somebody who has never been elected into the political office. so dr. carson's message of, you know, heal, inspire and revive is something that a lot of the voters are still wanting in their president. >> all right. jay sop osborne with ben carson and he is still in the race, and not going anywhere as he said. thanks for being with us. matt lewis, and also a cnn xhen ta for the, and errol louis, and you are joining us for the first time tonight, and i want to give it to you, ben carson not leaving the race, and lot of the ted cruz supporters saying, he has to get out, because they believe he is pulling directly from him. >> i can see why they think that, and more importantly, they have to convince ben car sson o that if they have any hope for him leaving the race for that reason. there is going to be a certain momentum that is going to be leading towards when we talk about the delegate counts after

and if it's even found in government, it's at the state level, not in washington, d.c. for the first time in eight years, you're going to have a president that follows the constitution. that means on my first day in office, in my first moments in office, i will cancel every sing. one of barack obama's unconstitutional executive orders. every one of them. when you make me president, when you make me president, we are going to have a president that embraces a free economy. free enterprise works, i know it, because my parents, we're not rich people. my father was a bartender and my mother was a maid. the reason they had a job is because free enterprise works. because someone who had access to money risked that money to open up a hotel and hire them. free enterprise works because it is the only economic model in the world where you can make poor people richer, and you don't have to make rich people poorer. we are going to save free enterprise. we're going to fix our tax code. i have a plan out there to do that we are going to roll back these crazy regulations that come out

it is the election, the primary for the democrats, ryan is with me, cnn commentator and washington correspondent at the new yorker. it's interesting, joe johns told us from one of the polling sites that it looked like to him, this is anecdotal, that voter turnout is very light. >> yeah. >> who does that help, hurt? granted, we don't have the numbers. >> look, so the conventional wisdom which has been wrong in this campaign, but i think it's right in this case, is lower turnout hurts bernie sanders. so, in a lower turnout election you have this core of the democratic party. people that vote in every election, and those voters so far in the first three states have been hillary clinton supporters. in iowa, the sanders campaign predicted that they would lose the campaign under a low turnout scenario. they would tie it under a little higher. and they would win it higher than that. >> this was iowa. >> iowa. and it was obviously in the middle. it was tied of it they nailed that. their projections have been more voters better for sanders, his two core constituencies are young people, millennials, and i

ryan, former senior communicationings to mike huckabee is hogan gidley and in washington commentator van jones. thank you all for being here. hogan, let me begin with you. i want to read you something from a "new york times" piece. talks about mitch mcconnell. it said while he's begun preparing senators for the possibility of a trump nomination if it threatened to harm them in the general election they could run negative ads about mr. trump. let's step back and think about that. that is you know, the highest ranking mitch mcconnell saying that his fellow senators can run negative ads against the party's nominee. >> right. also make the comment that we drop him like a hot rock, i think is what he said. i want to know who the we is. the establishment? they have already gut punched the american worker time and time again. they hurt the republican party time and time again, so i'm not exactly sure where he's going. i understand he is trying to protect the senate but that's what makes donald trump so popular is that he's going against what they stand for. >> hurts them more. >> absolutely

maybe massachusetts, washington, oregon, where there's hotbeds of progressivism. she might start to point out that more. >> van, then we have to go. >> i just think there are areas, is he barack obama -- no. frankly, that's not the point. the point is that there are key differences and on the question of peace, on the question of war and peace, where he gets closer to the president and to the base than hillary clinton, he never made it an issue. >> you think bernie sanders is closer to barack obama than hillary clinton? >> on syria. on peace. >> in life. in the real world. >> on real soldiers dying? yes. on stupid wars? yes. >> on life. >> why is hillary clinton opposing our president? >> this is the game we're having. >> we'll get van a cool cloth for the break. standing by, polls are closing in south carolina. cnn could be on the verge of making a major projection right after this. nobody move! get on the floor! do something! oh i'm not a security guard, i'm a security monitor. i only notify people if there is a robbery. there's a robbery. why monitor a problem

they want something different to happen in washington, d.c. they are tired of the same old business being led by the same old people. and bernie represents something new. he represents a revolution that's going to adjust how business is being done in washington, d.c. and you can see that revolution taking place even in some of the remarks that hillary clinton is talking about. now she's beginning to talk about those issues that bernie has been talking about everywhere. not only in a black state of south carolina, not in harlem, but bernie sanders has been talking about that in iowa, in new hampshire. so he's been talking about those issues that are relative to the african-american community from the very beginning. >> we'll see if the young voters show up at the polls today. maria, let me come to you. does this expectation that hillary clinton will win by a large margin hurt her potentially, maybe some of the voters who were -- might have been excite philadelphia this were a much tight erase might stay home and this margin will be narrower? >>
