-term amnesia. [laughter] sen. sanders: they could go forward with a straight face and talk about the problems we have today while ignoring what world bush left us in when he left office. [applause] sen. sanders: so we are going to make sure that our republican friends do not forget that when president bush left office that we were losing 800,000 jobs a month, unbelievable. our deficit was a record-breaking $1.4 trillion, and by the way, the world's financial system was on the verge of collapse. other than that, we were doing really good. [laughter] sen. sanders: to hear republicans talk about where we are today without putting it into that context is somewhat of an outrage, but here is another truth. yes, we are better today than we were seven years ago. the reality is that for the last 30 years under republican leadership, under democratic leadership, the middle class of this country has been shrinking and almost all new income and wealth has been going to the top 1%. the reason -- the reason i think our campaign has been doing so well, bringing out new crowds. we just came from

as follows. 27 in this room for clinton, 20 for sanders, that's the early count that we're getting here. in terms of the official percentages now, it looks like we have clinton at 57%, sanders at 43%. again, i want to point out this is very early, in the process here. it was interesting to watch how things went down in this particular precinct in this classroom. they did a count at first, they weren't happy with that, there seemed to be some sort of discrepancy between the number of the people in the room so they did a recount. and came up with this final number here for where we are. at one point, one uncommitted caucusgoer. she was in the back of the room, a young woman. she ended up going for sanders. again the final count at this precinct and this classroom here, 27 for hillary, 20 for sanders. >> all right. jason carroll, we're going to get back to you. this is very, very early data, very early. just one caucus site. one precinct. there's a lot more to be had. >> a lot more but we are learning more about how this electorate, the people who are going to caucus feels about the c

allows bernie sanders supporters to come to our events. you have a right to express your time 85%t at the same of the state of nevada is owned by the federal government. that will end if i am president of the united states. [applause] there is no reason on earth the federal government should be the largest landlord in the united states of america. [applause] in texas the federal government owns 2% of the land and we think that is 2% to much -- 2% too much. my commitment as president we will transfer that federal land back to the state and back to the people of nevada. [applause] is anwould note that issue on which mr. trump and i disagree. mr. trump has said he thinks the federal government should continue to control that land, to own that land. i trust the people of nevada more than the bureaucrats in washington. [applause] and in the days that follow, i will go to congress, and we will tax.a simple flat so that every american can fill out our taxes on a postcard. and when we do that, we should abolish the irs. [applause] you know, the media tries to tell us that the obama-clinton

for president will tell you. and that is that no president, not bernie sanders, not anybody else, will be able to bring about the changes that the working families and the middle class of this country, that our children, that the seniors, our seniors deserve. no one president can do it because the powers that be, wall street with their endless supply of money, corporate america, the large campaign donors are so powerful that no president can do what has to be done alone. and that is why -- and that is why what iowa has begun tonight is a political revolution. [ cheers and applause ] a political revolution that says when millions of people come together including those who've given up on the political process, they're so dismayed and so frustrated with what goes on in washington, with young people who before had never been involved in the political process, when young people and working people and seniors begin to stand up and say loudly and clearly, enough is enough, that our government, the government of our great country belongs to all of us and not just a handful of billionair

, hillary from 2008. last night, it seems bernie sanders got dangerously close to making the did he go too far highlight reel? mr. sanders: secretary of state for four years, you have a bit of a streak. that is a low blow. do senators have a right to disagree with the president? have you? i suspect you haven't. mark: given that the clinton campaign recently played the sexism card against sanders, including the time we talked about shouting. why are they playing the sexism card today? john: it is a little tricky. they got hammered the last time they did it and it was bogus. i think they are little gun shy. the truth is i think sanders is cranky, condescending, obama-like. they don't quite get you all the way to sexism. in this instance, there were other attacks. there are so many other things to attack them on last night. mark: i think the madeleine albright comment could come into play. that would have been taking a risk. i have to say, even leaving gender aside, sanders was pretty caustic. i'm not sure over the long-term that is his best bet. he still struggles to smile, seemed gracio

sanders blasted hillary clinton in a series of tweets, challenging her progressive credentials more forcefully than he ever has in this campaign. we will get to that later. on the republican side, over the last 24 hours the explosion has involved people going after ted cruz, sarah palin, ben carson, marco rubio, and donald trump have ganged up on cruz over allegations that his campaign used deceitful tactics leading up to the iowa caucuses. not surprisingly, some of the harshest rhetoric came from donald trump's twitter account, where he charged, quote, ted cruz did not win iowa, he illegally stole it. he later deleted that tweet, but put out a similar one without using the word illegally. ted cruz struck back. senator cruz: i think they are very funny. i wake up every day and laugh at the latest thing donald trump has tweeted, because he's losing it. we need a commander in chief, not a twitterer in chief. we need someone with judgment and the temperament to keep this country safe. i don't know anyone who would be comfortable with someone who behaves this way having his finger on th

i'm proud to be jewish and proud of my heritage. >> thank you. senator bernie sanders. thank you all at the university of chicago for having us here. join me at 11:00 for a live post game analysis of the republican debate. >>> that was great. that was the hardball college "t!rass band onset.lete with a chris matthews with democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders, live from the university of chicago's institute of politics. this is a live shot right now with that event having just wrapped up. i'm rachel maddow back in new york. we do not have a brass band. that was a remarkable event. there's a lot going on in news and politics tonight. on the political side, bryan sandoval has taken his name out of contention for the supreme court nominee. a whole new raft of polling has come out. donald trump continues to dominate the field. the rest of the republican field has now started amongst themselves in earnest as to who ought the quit. on the democratic side of the race we did have this remarkable, long forum town hall with bernie sanders who is safeç to say back to being the u

the economic issues, as david was saying, i think bernie sanders really sort of cuts through. but on foreign policy, i think hillary clinton does. so i don't think it changed much. >> someone before the debate, john king, was saying that she was going to wrap herself in president obama. she certainly did that tonight, particularly at the end. >> and he has incredibly high ratings, among democrats across the country, and among african-americans. she played the obama card and she played it hard. he played the kissinger card. we'll see how that plays out. >> that's going to get the millennials. >> all the young voters for bernie sanders googling who is henry kissinger, saying he doesn't take advice from henry kissinger. the conversation among democrats is still making the point she had a very strong case on the policy issues. some of her friends and advisers who want her to get better as a candidate still think she's focuses too much on experience and past accomplishment and not as much on a narrative to look forward to the future. >> bill, your book, read the blurb that sanders actuall

being with us. we turn to south carolina where hillary clinton and bernie sanders are out searching for votes outof tomorrow's crucial democratic primary. john terret is there at the hillary clinton rally in the state capital columbia. john. >> that's right, paul good evening to you from columbia. and i can tell you there's somewhat of a twofer going on here. not only is this large crowd in the center of columbia going to be treated by what they say is the 45th president of the united states, they're going to be treated to the 42nd as well. bill and hillary clinton are on the stage behind me in a very short time. the clintons don't want to happen what happened in 2008 when she was ahead in the polls, but she still lost the primary here. they're making every effort to prevent that from happening with rallies like there one right up to the point the voting gets underway tomorrow. bernie sanders of course well behind in the polls here in south carolina. he abandoned the state for the last couple of days but he's been back today campaigning among other things with killer mike, a rapper and

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. >> announcer: later tonight in the republican race -- it's south carolina's choice. donald trump resurgent after his landslide victory in new hampshire. >> all of these characters are going to give it up and we will make america great again. >> announcer: ted cruz hoping to thump trump as the race moves into the bible belt. >> if conservatives stand together, we will win the republican nomination. >> announcer: marco rubio, john kasich and jeb bush, all battling to be the mainstream alternative in a diverse state known for its military might, and political brawls. >> donald trump. he has no clue. >> jeb bush has no foreign policy experience, period. >> i don't take crap from anybody. >> now, it's time for voters

bernie sanders who is proving to be her strong, if slightly improbable opponent. and once again, even though secretary clinton was expected to have an unassailable financial advantage in this fight for the democratic nomination, once again her opponent is proving to be really, really good, like record setting really good at raising money. last night after senator sanders scored his massive win in new hampshire, his 22-point victory, the largest margin of victory in any new hampshire primary in, like, half a century, last night, overnight, through the morning, through today, the sanders campaign has been taking a shock and awe approach to displaying the fund raising response they got to their victory last night in new hampshire. at one point last night the sanders campaign uploaded his gif, this little online video clip which they said showed the pace at which donations were flooding into their website as senator sanders declared victory in new hampshire. by midnight last night, they said they had raised more than $2.5 million. by this evening, less than 24 hours after the polls closed

race between former secretary of state hillary clinton and vermont senator bernie sanders. some, hang on as we say, good day, good afternoon, i'm bill hemmer, special edition of america's newsroom. >> great to be here on a saturday afternoon. it's a really exciting day. and we've got a live look for you at las vegas. where they are caucusing as they can do only in las vegas. cesar's palace, folks, and the big question, and this is a very big question for hillary clinton today. will her firewall hold up in the face of what bernie sanders is calling a political revolution that is clearly catching fire? we should have an answer some time in the next couple of hours. on the republican side, let's go over to columbia, south carolina, where the polls are open, analysises saying that the state is trump's race to lose. as the rest of the field is jockeying for a second or third place finish, most likely. >> so we have live team fox coverage, and here we go, carl cameron covering the trump campaign, he's live in south carolina. ed henry watches the democratic race in nevada. we have anal

ahead considerably from bernie sanders. now, privately, wolf, this is the more interesting part. sources with the campaign not so cautious. one of them, in fact, saying that they think that this race is going to be over mid march, march 15th. there's another series of contests on that day. that's just two weeks from wednesday. that tells you something. they have a lot of work to put in. but they think ultimately by mid march hillary clinton will have pulled far ahead of bernie sanders. almost 60% of the dell gegates l have been awarded. >>> jeff zeleny is over at bernie sanders headquarters in rechst rochester tonight. is he there on the ground getting ready to address the crowd behind you? >> reporter: he has landed just moments ago at the rochester airport. you can see the crowd behind me is gathered, several hundred people are here, are clearly true bernie sanders supporters. they have been waiting for a couple hours for him to come address the crowd. he was here just yesterday in the state as well in the minneapolis area. he is clearly focusing on minnesota as one of the sta

hillary clinton if she wins or bernie sanders if he were to win in iowa. that would be significant. clearly an embarrassment for the democratic party right now. let's take a closer look at what has happened so far tonight in the iowa caucuses. first on the republican side, cnn projected a while ago ted cruz, the texas senator, he is the winner in the iowa republican caucuses with 28%. trump with 24%. marco rubio in a very impressive third place with 23%. ben carson with 9%. but cruz did win. he beat trump by 6,233 votes. a big win for ted cruz. he now goes on to the next contest. all of them go on to the next contest. clearly a disappointment for donald trump. he was hoping to win the most recent polls in iowa showed he would win. but he did not win tonight. impressive night, though, for marco rubio. on the democratic side, hillary clinton and bernie sanders about as close as you possibly can see with 98% of the vote now in. 49.8% for hillary clinton. bernie sanders 49.6%. martin o'malley, he's down. he's now suspended his campaign for all practical purposes he is now out. technica

talking points memo. trump and sanders win. polls were correct as voters sent a signal loud and clear. we don't want establishment politicians. a whopping 90% of republican voters are angry about the political environment. on the republican front, here as it stands now, this could change a little bit. donald trump wins 35%. governor john kasich, second, 16. ted cruz, 12, jeb bush 11 followed by christie and fiorina. kasich emerges as the moderate candidate to beat. cruz and rubio still viable candidates as is jeb bush. just like christie, fiorina and carson are done in realistic terms. hillary clinton likely to clock them in south carolina and beyond. a memo from the clinton campaign, says, quote, it will be very difficult, if not impossible for a democrat to win the nomination without strong levels of support among after i cannin american and hispanic voters. we believe that is how it should be. and that is true sanders is meeting with al sharpton, a hopeless cause, because sharpton is about as far away from a socialist as you can get. he will support hillary, no question. sum

bernie sanders was also in orangeburg, south carolina on friday. his stop at the university includes introductory remarks from killer mike. this is 50 minutes. [cheering] killer mike: hello. hello. hello. you really judge a person by how they treat people when they do not have to treat them well and when it is in their best interest not to treat them well. i am going to repeat that. you should judge people by how they treat people. but people who they do not have to treat well. or people that they could benefit from treating bad. bernie sanders is a white man in america. he does not have to care about anyone in this room, but himself. bernie sanders is a fantastic person in america. he can say that he worries about me. as a teenager and a young adult, he has fought for the rights of people who do not look like him, who are not from where he is from and who are not from his socioeconomic background. he stood on his integrity and his convictions and depended on americans to be intelligent enough. he did not take the opportunity to separate himself. i respect that more than a grand intr

and bernie sanders one on one, a debate you'll see right here on cnn tonight. plus, donald trump says he's going to positive. is he taking a page from john kasich's playbook? and when bill clinton attacks, could he actually hurt his wife's campaign? let's go "outfront." >>> good evening, i'm erin burnett. outfront tonight, showdown in milwaukee. hillary clinton and bernie sanders about to face off in the pbs news hour presidential debate which will air right here on cnn at 9:00 eastern. two podiums tonight. the stakes could not be higher for both candidates. they will meet on this stage at the university of wisconsin. it has been just 48 hours since sanders landslide victory over clinton in the new hampshire primary, beating her by 22 points. for clinton, not long ago considered the presumptive democratic nominee, she's locked in a battle for every vote as she looks ahead to nevada and south carolina, states that she expects to win. the african-american vote will be crucial. bernie sanders cannot win without some of that. today the congressional black caucus pac throwing its support t

you want. the fall of bush, the rise of sanders, the rise, the appearance of donald trump. in a business, you've been around politics a long time, that thrives on predictions, pays a ton of money to people to go on cable tv and make predictions. what a hit the conventional wisdom has taken. >> well, let's start with citizens united. we thought that the koch brothers and others would run this campaign. all the money they've spent out here, all the big money, pac money, $15 million in iowa for george bush -- i mean, jeb bush, george's son, and brother. nothing, it's not happening. he's running 2% out here. bernie sanders on the other hand, who's running against citizens united as an issue, is really, really scoring on it. it's not just -- there he is. the fact is he's been able to say billionaires are not just buying goods and services with their wealth, they're buying our elections, a powerful message we didn't expect. i want to go to steve schmidt and andrea here. the big story tomorrow, we already know from the polling, is the republican party is not the republican party it was

. onto the democratic side. if you wanted to know how the caucuses work, if bernie sanders had done better, and he lost around five points, he would be inging his back to south carolina, but instead, sanders and his campaign staff are downplaying the loss in south carolina. now he is headed off to new england to lay some super groundwork for super tuesday. on the other hand, rather than rushing to south carolina, clinton heads to southern california to hobnob with some rich people there. we asked about from and why did one caucus victory here so changed dramatically the perception that clinton is now, it is inevitable, in a commanding position? that one poll, that cnn poll, that showed in nevada that it was a tossup. ratherised expectations than lowering them. hillary clinton came in by winning the popular vote and she also won the delegate count. strength with african-american voters and latino voters and even though sanders made a slight dent on side, we think, he didn't do enough to rob her of that coalition but to big delegate leads on march 1 and the way the democratic process

are gathering the attention. in his speech bernie sanders called it a virtual tie. hillary clinton used no such wording. and now late tonight, we have something of a protest from the sanders campaign. our correspondent traveling with the sanders campaign with us by telephone. explain what's going on? >> reporter: good evening. we just got off the bus. we're about to board the sanders charter to new hampshire, but there's some concern bubbling about 90 precincts the iowa democratic party did not staff 90 of these precincts. this is on background from campaign aides that they are being asked to help with the count. of course, it's not clear exactly what that means. the sanders campaign is not clear on what they're being expected to contribute, whether or not this count will be done fairly and of course with the margin what it is i think we might be able to show our viewers just how close the number of delegates that we're talking about here. these represent about 5% of the precincts still outstanding and that number has not moved over the course of the last hour or so. of course with

bernie sanders and neck with 45% and 42%. from all across the country, who is your candidate and why. republicans, (202) 748-8001. 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

memo. trump and sanders win. polls were correct as voters sent a signal loud and clear. we don't want establishment politicians. a whopping 90% of republican voters are angry about the political environment. on the republican front, here as it stands now, this could change a little bit. donald trump wins 35%. governor john kasich, second, 16. ted cruz, 12, jeb bush 11 followed by christie and fiorina. kasich emerges as the moderate candidate to beat. cruz and rubio still viable candidates as is jeb bush. just like christie, fiorina and carson are done in realistic terms. hillary clinton likely to clock them in south carolina and beyond. a memo from the clinton campaign, says, quote, it will be very difficult, if not impossible for a democrat to win the nomination without strong levels of support among after i cannin american and hispanic voters. we believe that is how it should be. and that is true sanders is meeting with al sharpton, a hopeless cause, because sharpton is about as far away from a socialist as you can get. he will support hillary, no question. sum it up, new hampshire,

the legacy. with bernie sanders taking offense to the latest line of clinton attacks. >> i think we have been an ally. have you ever disagreed with a president? i suspect you may have. >> calling the president weak, calling him a disappointment and calling several times that he should have a primary opponent when he ran for reelection in 2012, you know, i think further than saying we have our disagreements. >> one of us ran against barack obama. i was not that candidate. >> alex seitz-wald joins me now. you've been covering hillary clinton going back. what do you make of the debate? >> a new tone to her. it's been striking, much hotter and calmer this time around, and i think that reflect it is larger message. she's the adult. she's the realistic one in the room and lets sanders be hotter and more passionate, but i think that bit you played, it's an issue that was brewing for a while and had it out in a big way. especially important into south caroli carolina, where we expect 50% to 60%. obama is a 90% approval rating and bernie sanders doesn't have a great answer on this. he did ta

said about the debate. >> who do you think won the debate? how many would say senator sanders? >> my interviews with clinton supporter, senator barbara boxer and harry belafonte. >>> the south carolina swamp fight gets higher. >> we win iowa and every day he comes out with a new attack. >> donald trump threatening to sue ted cruz over his citizenship. >> when life imitates a stump speech. >> to move production from our facility in indianapolis to monterey, mexico. >> when "all in" starts right now. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. as the democratic primary heads to nevada and south carolina, hillary clinton seems to have found an effective tool to bludgeon bernie sanders, barack obama. the president remains popular with democratic voters and voters of color, specifically who make up a large portion of the democratic electorate in the two upcoming states. his approval rating stands at 73% among non-white americans. as she did earlier today in denmark, south carolina addressing largely african-american audience. >> he has called the president weak, a disappointme
