after nevada, democratic contenders will go next to south carolina which has a democratic electorate that is 55% african-american. after south carolina, democrats will head into the march 1st states, the big super tuesday contests. a number of those states have a similarly heavily african-american demographic in terms of who's going to turn out and vote in the democratic contest. nationally, hillary clinton is viewed as having a huge to the point of prohibitive advantage with minority democratic voters of all kinds and particularly african-americans. the last national polling on this was done between iowa and new hampshire. it showed secretary clinton with a lead of 74 points over bernie sanders among african-american democrats. a 74-point margin between them in terms of african-american democratic support. so you'd think that would make the next few races predictable. but wildcard here is that senator sanders is working triple time to try to close that gap. he has announced a number of endorsements from prominent african-american leaders and elected officials in recent days. and in

democrats, (202) 748-8000. iowa voters and it new hampshire voters, we want to hear from you. .202) 748-8003 let's begin with the closing arguments from the candidate yesterday. one is what the front runner the republican side had to say. [video clip] really get it. one of the things that came out is that by far, the tromp person is the most loyal by far. i should not say this in front of jerry. behave in front of jerry. they say donald trump can do anything and they are still going to vote for him, 67 to just about with them, i get into the 90's. other people are at 9%. my people, i adore you. you are going to make a decision soon. we're going to make america great again. host: he made his closing arguments, as did the other candidates. comments as your well. the front page, caucus as if you were living under a rock. voice be heardur today. who is your candidate and wide. here is a tweet that says it is the beginning of election season. karen says who is my candidate? we will see who when our primaries come up

democratic party. so, really, we have got these first four contest. there is a lot of press. but now we are getting into states that are more representative of the country. and with those with half the delegates are chosen and the two weeks between the first and the 15th. i think by the end of that, it has been a vigorous race. i knew it would be. and the handicap -- you had to get the other side, donald trump wins today in south carolina, i think he is probably well on his way to the nomination. anything could happen. but, listen, we've only had two contest. we have got a long way to go. i chaired hillary's 2008 effort. that went all the way to the end, all the way to south dakota at the end. we went to the last couple primaries. so we are just starting. governor mcauliffe, you skipped over a little bit what is happening in nevada today. was supposed to be the start of hillary clinton's firewall. re representative of the broader national population in terms of demographics. if she does not win in neva

that is helping fund the democratic takeover of congress. so if the people of south carolina think it was a good thing that harry reid and nancy pelosi became majority leader and speaker of the house, you can thank donald trump for helping fund the political effort to make that happened. i would note that donald had been unsuccessful in helping democrats get majorities in both houses, we would have never had obamacare. donald trump is a direct cause of obamacare passing. because if either house had remained in republican control, it never would have passed. and donald helped fund the democratic takeover of both houses of congress. nobody who cares about conservative judges would help fund during the senate over to the democrats. planned parenthood is responsible for the deaths over the years of millions of unborn children. being pro-life and supporting planned parenthood are fundamentally incompatible. nobody who is pro-life one out of the words, planned parenthood does do wonderful things. --ook forward to any lawsuit and let me note, one o

bernie sanders is only a new democrat. he's a democratic socialist from nearby vermont. hillary clinton trying to remind people that she's been a lifelong democratic and in the middle comes the tussle. who is the true progressive? >> we're going to win. >> reporter: that's the question hanging in the air tonight as hillary clinton and bernie sanders try and win over undecided new hampshire voters at the cnn presidential town hall meeting coming off the closest democratic caucus in iowa history. >> it was kind of a low blow when senator sanders said in response to a question, well, you know, maybe she's a progressive on some days. >> reporter: she was responding to sanders who questioned her progressive record. >> some days, yes. except when she announces she is a proud moderate. >> reporter: their sharp exchanges exploded on twitter. she said a 40 year record of progressive results boiled down to some days. >> i get accused of being kind of moderate and center. i plead guilty. >> reporter: sanders sent out a series of tweets and held his ground with cnn's wolf blitzer. >

take down the presumed front runner on the democratic side. so he's watching this more closely than anyone and the clinton campaign predicted a win in this state. so we continue to watch that side. >> it is 11:00 p.m. on the east coast. we have a winner on the rin side, ted cruz is the winner and we're awaiting his remarks but the big indecision at this moment is the democratic side. hillary clinton 50% to 49%, perhaps a little ticking up of the vote total. let's try to get a breakdown. >> we're going to go live to our campaign cowboys, space cowboys, it's odd. they know what they're doing and chris wallace is in charge of them. >> in charge? yes. i'm here with my lion whip and ready to try to handle my tigers. joe trippi where are the democratic precincts we haven't heard from yet? >> mostly in the college we call it college counties of johnson county and story county, they're pretty much all in. and bernie sanders is beating hillary clinton in those two counties but not nearly by the margin thought of. >> the precincts are in areas that tend

the democrats. as donald trump said in the art of the deal, he said that good publicist is better than bad publicist but bad publicity is better than no publicist at all. as long as they're explaining that we're trying to help the middle-class through making education more affordable and raising the wages for people who work for a living in america. that's good for the democrats. the problem is if this primary were over in a week or ten days, then the democrats sort of go dark until september and the republicans for better or worse will have all of the news cycle and even bad publicity is better than none >>> i know you call yourself a progressive now that o'malley left the race. why aren't you sanders? >> give me time to grieve would you. please. these are odd times. when you hear the republicans debate one another, what they say is, "i have no experience. i am the outsider", says marco rubio who has been in government his entire professional career ted cruz says "i am the outsider". except he has

he's getting credit from democratic voters for doing that. if you're appealing to the young idealistic kind of voters that he's atracking they want to believe someone is above it all. >> now, let's look at what the state department is looking at. and not look like he's taking -- >> if you haven't done that, and it's working you just won by 21 points, in new hampshire. it's always an option. and he can deal later on. but why now? his strategy might be a good one. >> when we come back, peter doocy on a candidate you may have not considered. and john roberts on republicans in south carolina. america's election headquarters rolls on, right after this. ♪ with an unlimited mileage warranty on your certified pre-owned mercedes-benz, you can drive as far as you want for up to three years and be covered. so no matter where you go, your peace of mind and confidence will be as unlimited... as your mileage. visit the certified pre-owned sales event, now through february 29th. and learn more about our unlimited mileage warranty, only at your authorized

california democratic party or california democratic party v. davis, whichever way it is, that the parties themselves have what's called the first amendment right of association. they get to set up this primary process and that means that if the democratic party wants to allow only left-handed people to vote, then they can do that. why not? supreme court says they can. >> explain the caucusing or the democrats in iowa versus how it works and how they're declared the winner and delegates versus republicans. >> it is a little confusing because the process did not end last night in iowa. the process will continue for literally months down the road until what is it? 40 delegates they send to the convention. until those 40 people are elected at a state convention. you start with the precinct caucuses last night and then the people elected delegates, you know, joe shmoe of bernie sanders delegate and then a county convention at which, you know, all of the delegates from those bring sikts come together and then elect delegates to the next level, the co

on the democratic side. good news for donald trump on the republican side. we are about to get the first indications. this is the cnn key alert based on the early entrance polls that we are getting. it looks like there is a three-man race on the republican side. donald trump, ted cruz and marco rubio. that's on the republican side. we project they are the early leaders based on the snapshot that we are getting people as they were walking in. this is an early snapshot. on the democratic side, a two-other than race based on the cnn entrance polls. hillary clinton and bernie sanders. they are clearly in a close race right now. we are going to get more information as we get more information from the entrance polls. questions we asked individuals and key caucus sites. we are giving the early indications. a two-other than race and that could easily change. i want to walk over to the cnn political director and we have been studying the numbers. >> the key numbers right away, the first time caucus goers and expandin

the democratic caucus is a little different. democrats, you show up in your caucus site and come you know, you hear some speeches from folks that support different candidates, and then you vote with your feet. in a sense, the caucus, the person is moderating the caucus will say, "ok, sanders supporters, you go to the side of the room. clinton supporters, to this out of the room. o'malley, to this out of the room." you physically go to different parts of the room. you're voting. it is public voting. your voting with your feet. and for your candidate to be viable, you need to have, and the democratic caucuses, you need to have 50% of the caucus-goers their supporting your candidate -- 15% of the caucus-goers their supporting your candidate. if there are 100 people, one particular candidate to be viable, they need at least 15 of those 150 people there. if you don't need of high ability test, you either split up and you go to another candidate or you can abstain. that is what it is. with the democratic caucus, he will spend about tw

philosophical difference, without taking sides, between hillary clinton regular democratic, clinton democratic and bernie sanders who is also ran as a socialist, who now calls himself a democratic socialist. >> i think the difference between the two candidates really boils down to that they're both supportive as is our entire party continuing to built on the progress we've made under president obama and democrats and congress and they might have differences of opinion on how to get to the same goals, continuing to create jobs, continuing to help people reach the middle class, but when contrasted with the republicans, who obviously want to take us back to what they define as the glory days from president bush's era. >> that's a good point. i agree a big contrast. how important is it to pick someone that can win against the republicans? >> of course it's important to pick someone who can win. we have two strong candidates remaining in the race. >> either can win. >> they'll be elected -- >> you believe both of them -- >> it's not my job to handicap this primary. >> you believe both can win. >> i

i'm a democrat. i've been a democrat my entire life. i've never voted outside the democratic party to be honest. that is probably going to happen. it just depends. andillary is the nominee, let's say it's hillary and trump, i will vote for trump. and one of the establishment candidates, then i will vote for jill stein. if it is bernie -- host: what party is jill stein running for? caller: the green party. i said a moment ago i hadn't voted outside the democratic party but i guess that's not true. i voted for her the last time. if it's bernie sanders against anybody else on the right, i will vote for bernie. i really only have one issue i'm looking at. and that is kind of on for me -- odd for me. andhe social safety net social security. i've been on your working my entire life. i drive a truck. i have been working my entire life out here. i've been paying into social security like all these baby boomers and donald trump has, out and said he will not touch social security. that got my vote right there. bernie sanders, i think he's a littl

and the democratic primary will higdon, wis news 10. a new poll shows bernie sanders and donald trump are way ahead of the pack in primary races in new hampshire. that's according to cnn and w-m-u-r. the poll shows sanders with 54 percent support among likely voters, compared to 34 percent for hillary clinton. on the republican side, trump leads with 30 percent support. ted cruz is second with 12 percent, followed by marco rubio at 11 percent. they are closely followed by john kasich, chris christie and jeb bush. new hampshire holds its primaries on february the nbc today show will be broadcasting live from iowa this morning ahead of the caucuses. matt lauer is behind the scenes with the bernie sanders campaign and savannah guthrie talks with caucus-goers supporting donald trump. and sarah palin will also be with the nbc crew in iowa for an exclusive interview. it all starts at 7am this morning right afer sunrise. the town of lexington will turn their eyes to mayor steve macdougall today for the "state of the town" address tonight. mayo

a democratic socialist. voters want that? i guess they don't know what socialism means. bernie says it mines all kinds of good things like fairness, equality, kindness. his supporters say democratic socialism is what countries like denmark have. people there have comfortable lives. i'm starting to talk myself into this. but thinking this way is dumb. i liked what regina posted on my facebook page. she says people don't understand it means for the good of the group over the individual. still lots of americans say that would be good. let's take care of the group, not just selfish rich individuals. that's what democracy for america, million-member progressive group for howard dean believes. they endorsed bernie sanders. neil soroka speaks for the group. you must be happy. >> when someone is aggressive think speak up to the fact that we all do better when we all do better to win in such a big way is good for democrats and good for the country. john: socialism generally means the government owns the means of prod

i used to be a democrat. when the democrats put abortion on their national platform i had not likeecause i am one of your callers that said he was looking for everything for himself. i am concerned about innocent babies being killed in the womb before they even begin -- before i even begin to think about my own finances. host: why not marco rubio? caller: he is against abortion too but i just feel like he is young and upcoming and maybe later. right now i am more interested in somebody that would go in and change washington. host: isn't he the same age as ted cruz? caller: yes ma'am, but ted cruz has more experience than he does and he has proven to me to stand up. carson i think has gobs of experience as far as life is concerned. jersey.b, somerset new you are supporting donald trump. caller: i am supporting him in a way. i think washington has lost perspective on what is going on. thousands and thousands of people living from paycheck to paycheck and washington is really out of touch with that. i think this

if they're a democrat, i will vote for them. if they're a republican, i will vote for them. >> some people are willing to go the extra mile to show how much they support donald trump. but the same can be said for those who feel the bern. that's next. those who feel the they represent blood cells. and if you have afib-an irregular heartbeat that may put you at five times greater risk of stroke they can pool together in the heart, forming a clot that can break free and travel upstream to the brain, where it can block blood flow and cause a stroke. but if you have afib that's not caused by a heart valve problem, pradaxa can help stop clots from forming. pradaxa was even proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke, in a clinical trial without the need for regular blood tests. and, in the rare event of an emergency, pradaxa is the only oral blood thinner other than warfarin with a specific reversal treatment to help your body clot normally again. pradaxa is not for people who have had a heart valve replacement. don't s

came from a democrat. we're supposed to be representing the people in this country. democrat or republican. but they're not looking at it that way. donald trump, say what you want about him, you know, he's not one of my favorite people, but i vote on issues, not people who i like, okay? and i believe his issues are cool because here's a businessman that became successful by hard work and his own two hands, okay? he does -- he is not going to take a presidential salary. he's not owned by anybody in the establishment. and i believe he says he'll do what he says he does. he works with world leaders. he works with a lot of people that none of these politicians ever could work with. and he has a team second to none and if you don't do what he wants you to do, you're fired as he says -- >> john, thank you for calling, john. i want to squeeze in another caller before we wrap up. that call mentioning donald trump, this headline on cnn, its website, donald trump and sanders using anger. we've seen that for a while.

the democrats knew that position. when charily christ proposed cap and trade, i was the first person to speak out of it in a full op-ed in the miami herald. right after that there's even more. >> this gets at what sort of i think is the challenge for all of the candidates on both sides is you're basically saying, look, you got to sometimes govern with what you have, not with what you want. >> right. >> but the voters they want more than that. they're not satisfied with this idea that, you know, you're doing the you got to work with what you have in washington, not with what you want. >> you know, i don't think that's true. i think voters understand to solve problems it's going to take the ability to work with people you don't agree with on a bunch of other issues. i think people understand my higher education ideas, i think student loan debt in america is a huge problem. we're not going to have free college, but i think there's a bipartisan way to work on helping with student loan. that's why i work with mark warner o

but on the democratic side, not so clear cut. hillary clinton was declared the winner, but only by a couple tenths of a percent, amid some allegations of some possible counting eors. many bernie sanders supporters aren't satisfied at this point. they say they fought hard to win support for their candidate and they've heard that there might be some discrepancies out there. tim seman from our this week in iowa team in sioux city talked to some witnesses in 2 democratic precincts in woodbury county. they say their delegate was won by sanders, but somehow was credited to the hillary clinton campaign. >> patrick: this system, like i said, it's 200 years outdated. we need to change it. >> tim: on monday, patrick west served as a captain in woodbury county precinct 40, held in and like some others in iowa, he's questioning the way final democratic caucus results are posted. >> patrick: our precinct went for sanders. oto's precinct, the paper work was filled out showing that they went for sanders. and yet, s sehow, the democraticic party

democrats on monday night? with my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations. with humira, control is possible. we brought you here today to

so i think there are pluses and minuses for democrats. i hear what you are saying that having a primary opponent to focus on is an upside for democrats, but it's a bad thing for republicans that they are spinning all of this time attacking each other, and no one is gaining momentum. one other thing that i would say to respectfully disagree, i do think that rubio came out as a winner. i think that's the surprise of the night, right? the fact that he is third and so close to trump, and trump, i think did come out as a loser, because going into last night, there was this expectation that trump could win and win by a wide margin. i think cruz winning by a significant margin was a really good thing for him, but the person coming out of iowa with momentum is rubio. whereas on the republican side there was less news there. we knew it was going to be an extremely close race. i think secretary clinton comes out with some momentum from winning. the other thing is iowa we need to keep in mind is iowa is not really representative of the country, so w

strong democratic precincts. those locations had a combined total of roughly 600 people who came out to vote. >> i'm voting for bernie sanders because he understands the real issues with the black community especially. >> i've heard all of the comments and everything and i think she's best suited for the job. she will try to finish what president obama has started. >> lots of views from voters between the two candidates. election officials say they dealt with the usual issues. people who didn't register on time, or had wrong addresses. myra: our commitment 2016 coverage continues on the wyff 4 moblie app you can look back on the primaries in south carolina. be sure to download our mobile app. coming up, we'll have more on the republican candidates as both parties now turn their attention to super tuesday. tuesday here. we will take a look at that. a gorgeous afternoon. lots of sunshine. myra: a busy time for the republicans as well, after a fiery debate in texas earlier this week. ted cruz and marco rubio went af

a democrat and socialist in this country. we're looking at polls where many democrats define themselves as socialists. we're looking at a sea change in the party no longer a pejorative in the minds of democrats to self-identify as a socialist. what does that mean for what looks like a clash between -- i won't decide here this early who will probably be facing off, it looks at this point it's going to be between a reasonably conservative republican and a very liberal democrat no matter whether it's hillary clinton or bernie sanders or whomever. >> i think the issue of taxes is a good litmus test. it used to be everyone said i won't raise taxes and walter mondale -- >> bernie sanders said the hell with all that. >> barack obama actually started it. he said in both campaigns i will raise taxes and he did. and clinton and sanders talking about taxes. and democrats are openly and clearly the party of tax hikes. >> with $19 trillion in debt in this country are you telling me any republican can walk out in front of the american peop

have been, not of the democratic electorate per se but in looking in trying to bring in democrats from more rural areas because they have been very pro-gun historically. >> this is part of hillary clinton seeking out not just in the primary process but also looking ahead to the general the obama coalition as her path to victory, right? so where she may have taken positions let's say in the 2008 primary she would look ahead to the general and then be afraid of certain -- >> when the president called her annie oakley. >> right. >> she's looking at it the same. >> democratic presidential nominees have not made a big issue about this, wolf. not al gore, not john kerry, and it wasn't until after the shootings in connecticut, sandy hook, which was after he was reelected that president obama started talking about it in a major way. >> right. bernie sanders has a d-minus rating from the nra. not enough but a d-minus on that point. we're only minute as we from the polls closing in south carolina. state officials there have described the turnout as steady. will enough voters turn out to give ber

what does the term "democratic socialism" mean? >> reporter: heather, what is it not is soviet socialism where the government took the factory and farms from the rich to the working poor. but bernie's message is not that different from the socialist pitch decades ago. >> i ask you to join in the political revolution. >> reporter: a revolution to redistribute america's health. it is immoral and wrong that the top one percent own 90 percent. >> reporter: two right the wrong sanderses want upon washington to take more than half of what the wealthy earn and give it to others. >> look at denmark and sweden. >> reporter: denmark is the most equal. and everyone gets a parent at leave and check for child care and five weeks vacation and worker ares five and half-hours a day. >> and i can hear the republican attack ad. >> what is wrong with that? >> the middle-class tax rate of 60 percent. but they get college education and free medical care and students receive $900 a month to cover. >> they are appealing and seductive and don't work and h

but democrats are allowing same-day registration on site, tomorrow. so, a republican already registered with their party could show up at a democratic caucus site, switch to the democratic party, vote and then still participate on tuesday because the party switch would not show up on the gop caucus rolls. adam khan, washoe county republican party: "that's the rules that we were given. if you're registered by february 13th, as a republican, you're going to be on our rolls." chairman of the washoe county republican party, adam khan says the voter records collected on february 13th will be the only ones used at the gop caucus locations in nevada. adam khan, washoe county make sure we maintain integrity in the elections. we don't have same day registration for that reason. we don't want people just changing back and forth." republicans participating in the democratic caucus could intentionally affect the results of a nominee for the party. and khan says that's morally wrong and against what their republican party stands for. adam khan, washoe county repub

>> there is a progressive feeling among iowa democrats, and you see it in the same kind of democrats in vermont and new hampshire. that's why senator sanders does have a base in these early contests. whether that's reflective in the other 48 contests that are still a part of this race, that's yet to be seen, and he'll have to prove it state after state that that's the new democratic party. >> but hillary clinton's argument is that it's not. >> i don't think she's making a total counterargument. >> let me correct myself. she says she would be a better general election candidate with all the voters voting. >> she's leaned a little left in this iowa race. she's saying i'm a mainstream democrat, i'm electable in november, but she also says, i'm one of you, i've been in the trenches with you, and she's tried to remind them each and every day. >> does that work? >> i think it's worked in that she has organizational strength here and she has leaned left. she learned a lot in 2008. if you talk to clinton people, they say, we've learned a lot since 2008. we're not flying a lot in the air, we'

i think democrats are inherently pragmatic. the more trump looks like he's going to win, the more they'll say we'll support hillary. might be while bernie, he has to stop this sort of attacking hillary for taking on his positions and say that is the success of his campaign. his campaigns wants to have a movement. it's moving hillary clinton, and that's a victory. >> john, town hall first. >> i think one of the bernie's great strength has been his authenticity and civility. that's one of the ways he contrasts with hillary clinton. what hillary needs to do is take the risk of intimacy, not to retreat to policy, but show the person she is, and show empathy for the people asking the questions, not retreating to talking points. the only big thing is what david said. is the subpoenas bring back memory of rough patches. the history is riddled with self-inflicted wounds, and if it comes down today by a judge, she's going to have to answer it tonight in a way that's decisive appeared not simply say it's the result of a right-wing conspi

these are former democrats, secretary clinton, that have decided, the democratic party let them down, now the republican party is letting them down, and they're gravitating toward trump. what have you done? what is the democratic party done to alienate these folks, do you think? >> you know, chuck, i think it's too soon to make any real judgments about this. i'm going to wait and let the republican process play itself out. you know, i noticed that there were only about 70,000 people participating in the nevada caucuses. in fact, we had more than that around 80,000 on the democratic side. so i don't think that we yet know where people will finally decide their interests, why, who's going to be there for them, who they can count on. i'll wait until they pick a nominee. i hope to be the nominee on the democratic side and then we'll, you know, start the conversation. >> but this phenomenon is sort of, many of necessary folks are sanders say that their second choice is bernie sanders. so there seems to be an appetite for this radical change. >> well, look, i think people are disappointed.

they want to see a democrat when the white house. clinton's people have been talking to these folks were very, very long time, so she has a huge advantage over us in that respect. i think after our campaigns -- as people see us do better and better, you will see a lot of superdelegates [indiscernible] say, well, you swayed me, i want our side now. i think you will see that. it is one thing for people to say, well, -- we will see were people will be. amy: the democratic party implemented the superdelegate system in the early 1980's to try to balance the wishes of rank-and-file voters with the party's need to nominate electable candidates. the critics of the superdelegates' role in the nominating process say that it works against insurgent candidates, well, like bernie sanders and only serves to ensure that establishment candidates stay in power. and sanders supporters worry that despite his early success at the polls, the election might be decided in the back room rather than the voting booth. well, for more, we are joined by two gues

in the democratic primary. those people are pulling hillary clinton to the left. they want to see more of that and in some ways they want to make a point. i talked to a voter the other day who said, we don't really care what iowa did. they have a caucus. it's a crazy system. here in new hampshire, we vote in a primary. and i think new hampshire voters are going to be eager to do that. that's why neither the sanders campaign or hillary clinton campaign want to set the bar too high here. >> tonight, what does hillary clinton need to do on the stage to win some of the undecided voters? >> you know, not just undecided voters but younger voters. her gap is not sustainable. she needs to talk more about the future and less about the past. her answer last night was interesting about younger voters. well, i'll work for them no matter what even if they don't support me. i'm not sure it was the most winning pitch to younger voters. >> i wonder if she'd have something more compelling to say to that and the wall street ques

now for the democrats. >> on the democratic side, we still don't know who's won. they're calling this too close to call. we've had a little bit of an emerging mini story. a little while about 25 minutes ago we got word sometime within the last hour i should say we got word that the sanders campaign was claiming that the iowa democratic party had failed to put party staff at 90 precincts. there's 1,600 something precincts. 90 did not have democratic party staffers at them. they said that the iowa democratic party had asked for the campaigns to help count at those precincts. this would be 90 out of 1,600 plus. it wouldn't be a huge proport n proportion. we have now had a statement from the iowa democratic party absolutely denying this charge from the sanders campaign. this is a statement from the iowa democratic party. we have just got it in. quote, we are currently getting results from our small number of outstanding precincts. the reports of precincts without chairs are inaccurate. these out standings precincts have chairs. we are in the process of contacting to g

for the democrats. the candidates's surrogates give speeches, so that will take at least 90 minutes, and then they all move around the room. iowa is not a winner-take-all state. even ted cruz comes in second to democratic strategist donnie fowler -- donald trump, the closest thing to the establishment is marco rubio. for the democrats this is a more serious issue, because hillary clinton is ahead, according to the latest polling, but well within the margin of error. we know she is 20 points behind in new hampshire, so if bernie sanders because particularly well, this gives you momentum. david is right in saying that the outcome of iowa is only right about half of the time, but it is about momentum. we have spoken to mike huckabee who said if he doesn't do well, he may be out of the race. rick santorum who won the last time around, even though it was declared to be mitt romney, if he doesn't do well, he will have to rethink his chances, as will carly fiorina. let's go to michael shure. tell us where you

democrats have something delegate. those fancy delegates are not bound by the popular vote...they can vote for whichever candidate they want.let's show you new hampshire to explain. bernie sanders crushed it with 60% to clinton's 38.new 24 democratic delegates. sanders got 15 based on the popular vote and clinton racked up 9.but also has 8 super delegates. six of whom have already pledged their clinton...bumping her number to 15. so new hampshire is if you're still keeping count--the other two super haven't announced who they will support yet. but so many delegates in states that haven't even voted yet have backing hillary clinton...that it makes it virtually grabbing the popular again...those fancy delegates have the right to change their mind...so to berra...it ain't over til it's over. 3 in south carolina there in south 3 will need to thousand 382 out of 4763 delegates to become the delicate nominee. you probably think bernie sanders is ahead but it's not so. check it out. hilary clinton washing the game. this is th

she did better with democratic voters who call themselves moderate. she did well with non-white voters. non-white voters don't make up a huge portion of the electorate in iowa. bernie sanders did well with democratic voters who consider themselves to be very liberal. he did well with voters who do not consider themselves to be democrats at all. the group with whom bernie sanders hit it out of the park was the youngest voters at iowa democratic caucuses last night. voters between the ages of 17 and 29. he won them by a 70-point margin. a 70-point margin, which is a bigger gap than any other demographic group. the reason that huge gap with young voters didn't translate into a win is because not that many of those young voters who like him so much turned out. compared to 2008, the portion of the democratic electorte that turned out that young was only 18% of the overall turn out. that was down from 2008. that young proportion was down about four points. maybe that is what made the difference. bernie sanders, bottom line, absolutely lucked up the young vo

fernando: democrats can switch, republicans can -- carl: democrats. there' s nobody in iowa who' s a democrat that went to the republican caucus. you just don' t do that. but plenty of democrats vote, although sanders may keep them. you know, we keep, reporters keep running into these people, fernando, and they' ll tell you at these rallies, i' m either voting for trump or sanders. now, in washington, we go what? this a very confused person. maybe not. it' s the opposite side of populism, but it' s populism, things are broken, the little man' s getting screwed. sanders has it identified that it' s wall street, big government. trump has these other bogeymen, but same sort of emotional re going to have cross over votes in new hampshire. fernando: and, very quickly as we wrap up, when you look at trump' s performance in iowa, can you extrapolate anything toward new hampshire? in other words, he' s ahead in the polls, obviously there' s a different mechanism as you pointed out. do you think he has a chance of winning? carl: i do. he was leading narrowly i

ed henry has the latest on a tightening democratic race. ed? >> chris, hillary clinton may be looking past new hampshire to the south. but bernie sanders is not going away easily. >> hillary clinton making history as the first female president is no longer a slam dunk. friends like madeleine albright are getting anxious. >> there's a special place in hel he lchlt hel l for women who don't help each other. >> clinton is spending most of this sunday over 700 miles from manchester in flint, michigan trying to look presidential about the water crisis. >> it is totally unacceptable. and in the united states of america to have allowed this to happen. >> except the once inevitable that road to the oval office. namely, bernie sanders. >> being part of the establishment is in the last quarter having a super pac that raised $15 million from wall street street. >>> plus, there is the e-mail investigation and plunging poll numbers. sanders surged into a dead heat nationally which in december gave clinton a 31 point lead. her aides believe whether they get

democratic and republican? here to discuss, college republican national committee chairwoman, alexandria smith, and harvard crimson columnist, molly roberts. thank you both for joining me, ladies. molly, i want to start with you, you had a piece published on the 12th of this month. and you said, i want to be a part of history. i want a woman in the white house in 2016, but you said, most other liberal millennials don't feel the same way, why? >> well, i think there's one simple, basic reason. which is that millennials want anti-establishment candidates, both on the left, and the right. that's something that bernie sanders is offering. he's preaching radical change of political revolution, in his words. and it's not something that hillary clinton is offering. in fact, to me, she represents the establishment. yes, she's a woman, but she's also a wealthy white woman, and she's one who's been at the forefront of mainstream democratic politics for decades, as part of the system that sanders is campaigning against. i
