now the clinton campaign going all the way. they put out press statements, but she, in her speech, struck a sort of a middle line. so it will be interesting to see as people wake up whether the bernie sanders campaign, as you say, wants to contest this inny way or is riding along with it and wants to move toward new hampshire where they think they have a big lead in the polls. as for that outstanding precinct, i want to make sure our viewers understand, it's basically one precinct left that the state party doesn't have numbers but would not change the outcome, would not account for the five state delegate equivalent. i think we have a little bit of sound from hillary clinton's speech as she talked about taking on senator sanders, someone who we now can say according to the state party she vaz vanquished in iowa. let's hear that. >> i am excited about really getting into the debate with senator sanders about the best way forward to fight for us and america. [ cheers and applause ] >> in the last few weeks, we finally began to ha

is this a bad sign for the clinton campaign? >> well, if it's true, it is a bad sign for the clinton campaign. in 2008 the same thing happened. the clinton campaign and staff, a few people were let go. they changed, as president obama did well, they changed tack. hillary clinton went on the air saying we might do a different direction, but we have no intentions of firing or getting rid of staff. >> one thing to look at with the clintons, is that clinton is in the state. bill clinton took the campaign in a certain direction yesterday, that the campaign was not necessarily comfortable with. he went after bernie sanders, and it reminded people of 2008, when bill clinton was going after president obama. a lot of democrats at that time thought it was distasteful. a lot feel that way now. >> they are getting ready to start the voting. we have live pictures to pull up. where they have the candidates on the wall. we'll see what happens in in an hour. the other big new involves former new york mayor bloomberg. will he or won't he. if he

the math is leaning in hillary clinton's favor. the clinton campaign declared victory. it is a very tiny victory. nevertheless, they just landed and a cheer from the press plane from their section of the press plane. clinton staffers. they think they won. let's get the latest from des moines. that is where senior politics reporter chris moody is reporting from. chris, it seems they have counted all of the votes. >> reporter: almost all of them. what a night in des moines. what a long night here in iowa. the snow has just started falling down on us. we are so close to getting that last precinct. as you have spoken about several times, the math is looking very good for hillary clinton here. there's a lot of victories celebrated. not here, but in new hampshire where all the candidates have already gone long ago. ted cruz declaring victory for getting the most here in iowa on the republican side. marco rubio for exceeding expectations and hillary clinton and the math here and bernie sanders for exceeding expectations. >> chris, bernie sanders on the stump today or on the pl

so this is definitely a good win for the clinton campaign. bernie sanders is going to come out tonight i'm told and say this is going to go on. his message of income inequality is resonating he is going to speak behind me in not too long. this is where he was friday night and he had some 6,000 people here. you can hear people shouting behind me bernie. so this race is going to go on to south carolina tomorrow he will campaign in greenville. then he is going to super tuesday states massachusetts on monday and keeping an eye on caucuses in minnesota, in colorado the oklahoma primary, so wolf this race continues but it's a good afternoon here in nevada for hillary clinton. >> next saturday the race continues with the democrats in south carolina. that's when the democratic presidential primary in south carolina takes place. only moments ago hillary clinton tweeted a picture of herself, there you see with her supporters when she got word that she was projected to be the winner of the nevada democratic caucuses. an important win indeed for hillary

the obama campaign how did the clinton campaign in that area, and the clinton campaign has learned from it this time. that is part of why, as i reported the story, you see a real effort from the clinton folks to go outside of the top population centers in the state. you also see them picking up what both the clintons and the obamas did last time, a focus on a volunteer-centered approach, where you just on have volunteers who come in for a night and make phone calls. you have volunteers take a sense of ownership of a particular group of voters, take ownership of tasks and central responsibilities on caucus day, take ownership of other volunteers, bringing them in and overseeing them, and so a lot of the life and responsibility of the campaign rests with those volunteers, and a lot of work of the staff is about leading and developing those volunteers. carol: josh, thank you for that. we appreciate it. josh: thank you very much. carol: now it is time to take a look at the etc. part of the magazine. for that we bring in brett, who edited the section. david: you have a guy wearing camouflage

the money is a serious worry for the clinton campaign. they're going to have to continue to have fundraisers in big ways. he is raising his money organically. it's surprising nearly everyone in his campaign. he's raising more money online than barack obama did. that's a challenge going forward for the clinton campaign. for tonight she's not fund raising in boston. >> speaking like he's on the 16 th green. >> he's always like i can't talk to you right now. >> bernie sanders will miss the putt. nobody wants that. >>> this morning, could a revelation tamp down the accusations against clinton. colin powell and members of rice's staff received information now considered classified on their private e-mail accounts. evan perez is live with more on this. oh, evan, what more are you learning? >> reporter: well, you know, i think the clinton campaign certainly wanted to embrace this finding from the state department's inspector general, because what we're talking about are two e-mails that were received on colin powell's private e-mail account whil

so how will the clinton campaign pivot and take him on in new hampshire, or is the clinton campaign going to pivot? tell me, we have a town hall, hillary clinton walks on the stage and says what? >> she says that she hopes that she will earn every vote in new hampshire and she will focus on the message that she has focused on up until now which is how she is the one going to be best prepared and will fight the hardest for middle class voters. for those who have been left out. and that she is the one who has the best experience and knows how to do the job from day one. >> but that is not what she has been saying that brought it to a statistical tie -- >> but it says she has won the majority, and is still ahead by quite a large margin. will that still be the case, after tonight we'll see. but i think what i was talking about earlier, again, she is at her best when she is competing hard for this. it is better for the democratic party when there are two out there with messages that are resonating. and yes, her message is resonating because i think people are responding to the fact that she wa

the clinton campaign needs to focus on job number one. get out there and vote. >> we'll see what the outcome is here tomorrow. that's going to tell us how urgently these changes will be. if it's a big loss, there will be pressure from donors on the outside to do something. the big challenge still is raising money. bernie sanders, average contribution of $27. that is real. they can give and give and give again. >> that's real. >> he talked about it today very passionately as we saw at another rally in manchester. >>> outfront next, we'll show you where donald trump is. he says he's stepped up his ground game. will it deliver, though, the big win that he must have tomorrow? hillary clinton trailing badly among younger women voters. why are they picking sanders over here? we talked to some today. but through good times and bad... ...at t. rowe price... ...we've helped our investors stay confident for over 75 years. call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. but i've managed.e crohn's disease is tough, except that managin

we got very solid news on clinton. the clinton campaign, vis-a-vis the sanders campaign in georgia. it's in that one state. other than that it's a mixed bag. a lot of tooth and nail battlegrounds. not what i expected to hear when we started calling around all these states and working sources in all these states. it's not been easy to get this data. the campaigns have been holding onto this data like it's gold. we expect these numbers, these profiles of the individual states to change as the campaign movers on and super tuesday gets closer. this portrait of what's happening on the ground is not at all the picture you're getting from the beltway press. oh, voting has started. georgia and tennessee started early voting last week. today, early voting started in texas and arkansas. it's on. the future is already here, and we have no idea what's going to happen. buckle your seat belts. >>> today california state attorney general told reporters she's not in the running for the u.s. supreme court seat that was recently made vacant by the death of associate justice antonin scalia. she said s

the obama campaign out to did -- did the clinton campaign in that area, and the clinton campaign has learned from it this time. that is part of why, as i reported the story, you see a real effort from the clinton folks to go outside of the top population centers in the state. you also see them picking up what both the clintons and the obamas did last time, a focus on a volunteer-centered approach, where you just on have volunteers who come in for a night and make phone calls. you have volunteers take a sense of ownership of a particular group of voters, take ownership of tasks and central responsibilities on caucus day, take ownership of other volunteers, bringing them in and overseeing them, and so a lot of the life and responsibility of the campaign rests with those volunteers, and a lot of work of the staff is about leading and developing those volunteers. carol: josh, thank you for that. we appreciate it. >> thank you very much. carol: now it is time to take a look at the etc. part of the magazine. it is the back of the book stories in bloomberg businessweek. for that we bring in

however, the sanders campaign thinks it has some juice. >> yeah, and if you listen to the clinton campaign talk about nevada in particular, you know something's going on there. they're talking about it looking more like iowa and new hampshire and a more diverse state and that to me is a sign they're seeing something happening there. i do think on the wall street point, that continues to be sanders's best line of attack. no matter what hillary clinton says about obama and accepting campaign contributions from wall street executives, it's a lot different than accepting personal speaking fees from wall street. and the more that sanders hits that, the harder it becomes for her to message her way out of that. >> getting back to the nevada point, i sat down with harry reid, democrat, last week and he was absolutely furious as the clinton campaign for suggesting that nevada is 80% white, essentially trying to downplay or make it sound like even if she does not win nevada, it's okay because south carolina really represents the democratic coalition. reid says that's not true. they're looking at my

with the traveling clinton campaign. we are just unable to tell you with any specificity or confidence, who won tonight's iowa caucus for the democrats. it should be noted the clinton campaign had their own reasons for declaring victory earlier this evening, another break. we'll be right back after this. oh remotes, you've had it tough. watching tvs get sharper, bigger, smugger. and you? rubbery buttons. enter the x1 voice remote. now when someone says... show me funny movies. watch discovery. record this. voila. remotes, come out from the cushions, you are back. the x1 voice remote is here. >>> this will be the front page of the des moines register in iowa tomorrow morning. cruz prevails semi colin, dems in dead heat. they divided the vertical space. cruz gets two columns but democrats are splitting it 50/50 because going to press time the democrats are splitting it 50/50. that's the front page of the "des moines register" tomorrow. you want to see things from a different angle, check out the front page of "new york dai

it's feeling a lot like 2008 with the clinton campaign up against the ropes. back with the panel joining us right now, let's talk to our political analysts and reporters. >> you introduce us, one voter short of dixville notch. but we're more willing to share our opinion. >> you know, it is -- there are -- it is reminiscent of 2008 and it's not. the reason that it's not is because once you get past new hampshire, those states turn very favorable for hillary clinton. you know, that's why, as i said earlier, i'm sort of shocked that -- it seems to me that they are overreacting to bernie sanders and overreacting to this particular primary and i think it's making them look, frankly, a little more frantic than they should be. >> let me ask you, back in 2008, when you were with the obama campaign, did you know how much hillary clinton was moving up in new hampshire? because she entered 18 points behind, right? >> we quit polling on sunday because we wanted to save a little money and so we probably -- if we had polled one more day, we could have been prepared for the

the president and many of his former supporters appear friendlier to the clinton campaign this time including ex-governor jim hodges---a former obama national co-chair who's helping guide her ssond effort here to become the first woman in the white house. i don't think she's going to take any demographic group or any vote for granted. we're knocking on doors, we are doing outreach in churches and moving around every corner of the state. bill will be here tomorrow. chelsea clinton is coming and dodog rock hill and spartanburg and clemson president clinton will be back later and hillary clinton will be here as well. i don't think there's any particular area. i just think we need to make sure that people get the message and we maximize our turnout. that really is what it's all about. like othehe in the clinton campaign, hodges repeatedly refers to iowa as a win----brushing past the extremely narrow nature of that win. sanders in our interview with him two weeks ago with black voters in south carolina. there's still the nevada vote before south carolina---but clinton has to make a statement in th

the clinton campaign has a new problem. trying to explain away a political report that both hillary and bill clinton are upset with the quality of their campaign operation and they could be planning changes. insiders say bill clinton is complaining of the campaign's lack of imagination and playing it too safe. hillary clinton denied the report saying, quote, we are going to take stock, but i'm confident in the people that i have. cnn's joe johns has the latest. >> reporter: john and christine, hillary clinton's closing argument came here in a high school auditorium in hudson, new hampshire. she's down in the polls, but she was surrounded by a large crowd. also in attendance, former president bill clinton and her daughter chelsea clinton. bill clinton has said he's concerned that the campaign has lacked imagination so far. tonight, hillary clinton called on the people in the audience to imagine the world her campaign is all about. >> i really want you to imagine with me, imagine what we can do together. imagine an economy th

what's clear is that what the clinton campaign once believed was an easy win in the silver state... is now an even money bet... and instead of cashing in their chips... both candidates are now all- in in nevada. a weak, fast moving upper level disturbance rain and snow to areas north of interstate 80 this afternoon and evening. winds will also be breezy this afternoon. snow at the higher passes could cause a few travel headaches early this evening. a ridge of high pressure will begin to develop over the weekend and become more pronounced early next week. only modest changes were made to the previous forecast mainly concerning winds this afternoon. a shortwave will tighten the pressure gradient across northwestern nevada and northeastern california. as a result, winds will increase this afternoon becoming breezy with gusts up to 45 mph. gusts up to 55 mph north a susanville to gerlach line to the are you getting enough sleep. if not, you're not alone. doctor timothy johnson has more on a new study. a good night's sleep? so important for your health, yet so hard for some of us to achi

sanders, he and hillary clinton are locked in a, quote, virtual tie. >> the clinton campaign however declared victory overnight after this upbeat rally that lana alluded to and avoided the worst, a loss like the one she suffered in 2008. abc's political analyst matthew dowd explains what's next for the clinton campaign. >> like donald trump she had an opportunity to basically start to put this race away with a clear victory tonight. she didn't get that, so now she faces a likely loss in new can win is south carolina, so that race is now, which could have been shortened if she had won tonight overwhelmingly, is now going to be a much longer race and go into march for sure. >> well, iowa voters delivered a split decision for the republicans, as well, but ted cruz took the lead away from donald trump to win. >> trump barely ahead of marco rubio whose strong performance was another big headline of the night, wouldn't you say? abc's political director rick klein on the state of that race. >> now there are two viable alternatives to trump that have emerged, one in ted cruz, the surprise ev

and that is what the clinton campaign is counting on. the margin of victory for both sanders and trump was significant in new hampshire, and it certainly is giving the sanders s people he that he can build on the momentum that his campaign is feeling. in one day theyaised the clinton campaign has never raised $6 million in a single day. so people who are e-mail corrpondents with the clinton campaign are, you know, being barraged by e-mail asking for donations. the clinton campaign isoping that minorityoters, which make up the majority of the electorate in south carolina carry the day for thehemhere. >> let's turn to iowa. i want to play a game of winners and losers as we just briefly look back on the iowa caucuses. the fallout from the democratic side, the democratic party viewed winner or loser with the snafus they had? >> they're trying desperately to spin ts as a win, but definitely people are talking about the end of the iowa caucuses, because of the way in which this was managed >> what about andy mcguire, the chair, her name is men

the clinton campaign has acknowledged them directly this week. over the last three or four days or so, she's like, i know you're not with me now, but i'm going to be fighting for you in the end. when you ask young voters why that is, they believe there will be a woman president in their lifetime and they believe she is not necessarily the perfect one. it doesn't mean they're not going to vote for her at the end of the day, but right now they like bernie. >> but the hillary clinton approach makes sense, in the sense that you're not with me now, but i'll still fight for you. she's thinking okay, if i beat bernie sanders, i need to bring them back into the fold. it's strategic, it make sense. but special place in hell? >> that was pretty rough. i don't actually think that that plays well with young women, because when you speak to them out on the campaign trail, they over and over again say, i'm not going to vote for her just because she's a woman. i'm going to vote for the candidate who i think has the best ideals. and i think that there's this int

the clinton campaign happily sided with him. press secretary brian fallon. >> this is an example of overclassification run amok. >> reporter: the state department announced last week that 22 of clinton's e-mails which sat on her private server for years are being reclassified as top secret, one of the highest levels of classification, higher than the secret and confidential designations given to the powell and rice e-mails. more than 1,500 clinton e-mails have already been put in those categories. isn't there a big difference between an e-mail or two being 22 e-mails being classified as top secret. >> these e-mails that have been judged top secret are completely wrong. we want them released. let the public see them. >> reporter: f.b.i. is still looking into clinton's use of a private server, but, scott, the clinton campaign views this as a rare positive development in a year-long controversy. >> pelley: nancy cordes with the clinton campaign. nancy, thank you. today in the water emergency in flint, michigan, the e.p.a. said that

that is why today's rally is so important to the clinton campaign. president bill clinton made his first solo campaign stop in new hampshire. this will be his first visit to cincinnati to rally for his wife.this race is really heating up. every vote counts. the clinton campaign is looking to recapture some support she's lost to bernie sanders especially among minority and younger voters. on your side checked and found jeb bush, ben carson, ted cruz, john kasich and marco rubio will all be in south carolina.donald trump has an evening event in tampa. you can count on 9 oys to have all of the highlights from president clintons appearance here today. the rally starts at 3. doors open at 2. you do need to rsvp on hillary's website. reporting live timyka artist 9 on your side. the former president's visit will likely impact traffic in that area today. today.ally kraemer is on your side with a look at the areas to avoid, and how to get around. south carolina is the next big primary, set for february 20th. tomorrow night the republican presidential candidat

doors for the clinton campaign. joining me now from iowa city, iowa, is new york city mayor, bill de blasio. mr. mayor, thanks for joining us. >> you're very welcome, jake. >> so, mr. mayor, how is the reception for a big city boy like yourself among the small town folk of iowa? are they greeting you well or eyeing you warily? >> no, it's been a great reception. iowans take the caucuses very, very seriously. they care about people coming to the door talking about the issues. i came out here with a team from new york. we've knocked on 1,800 doors since friday and a lot more today we're going to be doing. the great thing is that people are so focused on the meaning of this state. they understand that they're the first in the nation, they understand they're making a big, big impact. really believe that changes people want, this is a very progressive electorate, as you know, jake. if you're progressive, you want to see greater taxes on the wealthy, higher wages and benefits for people, paid family leave, paid sick leave

the clinton campaign confident they've had the organizational edge here, pulled out all the stops when it comes to surrogates, but with the iowa caucuses, not too far in the rearview mirror, they're worried the caucus format here in nevada favors sanders more than polls indicate and i should tell you, wolf, of all of the cafeterias and all the casinos in las vegas, hillary clinton and bernie sanders almost working into each other working the same one. arrival at the cafeteria was delayed because bernie sanders got there first to talk to employees. >> stand by as well, brianna. and now to reno, nevada. folks are lining up. we see them getting ready to go into the caucus site where you are. tell us what's happening. >> reporter: at this caucus site, the university of nevada-reno. there is a lot of energy, wolf, and i want you to take a look at the end of the line, which we can't even see right now. this is how many people have lined up here an hour before all this opened, and it all just opened a few minutes ago. the people are already lining up out here. i'm going to have you actually w

the hillary clinton campaign was very disciplined. they are learning from the things that are working for bernie. >> when bernie sanders entered this race, we were looking at inevitability. we are witnessing whatever happens. it's still steep for bernie sanders. he's placed on the agenda of this campaign. issues that wouldn't have gotten the intention. inequality, taxing the very rich. climate even. this populist agenda will be driven forward. we didn't think was into a bold and populous agenda. it will transform the democratic party and our politics. >> here's the question. he won by 70 points ai don't think people. one of the lessons is hillary clinton's message is adapting in response to bernie sanders. the other is organization matters. they built a heck of a machine over there. the third lesson to me and the thing people aren't talking about enough is do democrats have an enthusiasm issues. there's a lot of clinton supporters and they both had very good organizations. 2008, 239,000 democrats come out. last night it was 171,000. >

campaign of a revolution versus the message of the clinton campaign, much more pragmatism, which is hey, look, last eight years a tough slog for the obama administration dealing with the republican congress, you know, this isn't about a revolution, this isn't about sweeping transformative change. this is about more progressive, pragmatic incremental change, might be something about that, contrast in messages. other thing i'm looking at in numbers, trying to look at clintons' positioning with a few days to go before new hampshire. i looked, so this poll says 20-point gap. in '08 hillary clinton came in third in iowa. a short window, only five days between iowa and new hampshire in 2008. at this same point, same number of days after iowa, the polling had her down basically seven, eight points this time eight years ago. she was able to come back in the final days, take seven, eight point deficit and win the state by these three. how down by 20 it's tougher to see her reversing that and winning. there is the possibility here that -- if she could eat into this and make it a single-digit

, and he said some of the questions the clinton campaign is confronting are very similar to the questions jeb bush's campaign is, which is about the legacy of the family and how that is impacting voters' perception and how it should be included in the campaign. simon, what about that? it is, you say stand wherever you want on bill clinton, he is the past. he's not necessarily the future. how do they make that argument? >> i don't really see it that way. he's part of the package, right? you can't take him out, you can't make him disappear. he's going to be there, so you might as well get the upside out of his engagement in the campaign and put him to use. he's done a really good job on the turn for them, and -- on the stump for them, and i think there's a pragmatic recognition that he's going to be part of the story, part of the attention no matter what, and you might as well -- jenna: okay. that's a great question for pete. pete, should republicans be afraid of bill clinton because, as you point out, he's one of the most talented, if not the most talented politician of the to generation.

about the shake-up on the clinton campaign. our political panel is set to weigh in. i think it landed last tuesday. one second it's there. then, woosh, it's gone. i swear i saw it swallow seven people. seven. i just wish one of those people could have been mrs. johnson. [dog bark] trust me, we're dealing with a higher intelligence here. ♪ the all-new audi q7 is here. ♪ i accept i do a shorter i set these days.22. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't play anything less than my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'm going for it. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin... eliquis had both... that's what i wanted to hear. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an art

the actual campaign chairman for hillary clinton ran the state in 2008 for the campaign and has a real interest in making sure that he gets what will be the first solid win for his candid in the cycle. mark: bill clinton has a big relationship with new hampshire. he has a pretty rich relationship with that state. how much do you expect to see him and how much influence will he have over hispanic and union voters? adam: one of the things hillary clinton has going for her is bill clinton. he is out here all the time. he golfs here a lot. when i went inside, i did go and see bill clinton at an event. there were people lined up for hours waiting to see him. there is something else to remember about nevada -- it's a very transient state. people keep moving in and out. the voter population today is a lot different than 2008. i would not assume there is a connection to bill clinton. i think that is really the big question. john: you can vote on the casino floors. does bill clinton have more influence at the bellagio or the las vegas suburbs? adam: the suburbs. there was a big fight about this

several cities, kristen welker is in derry with the clinton campaign. alex seitz-wald is in manchester. hallie jackson is covering ted cruz. gabe gutierrez with marco rubio, and katy tur is right here with me in manchester as well. back to the breaking news i mentioned this morning. the bernie sanders campaign, a lot of headline said there. the senator confirmed on "morning joe" he will take part in the big debate that will be hosted on msnbc tomorrow night, moderated by chuck todd and rachel maddow. listen to what he said. >> are you going to be participating in the debate with hillary clinton tomorrow night? >> the answer is yes. and you know that i have always wanted more debates. and secretary clinton in the beginning was not so interested in more debates. now, suddenly, they're very interested in more debates. >> why are they suddenly interested in more debates. you said that with a sly smile. >> golly gee, i don't know. it may have -- it may have something to do with the fact that the nature of this campaign has changed a little bit. >> and we beg

beginning and i think the hope in the sanders campaign and the fear of the clinton campaign was that after new hampshire, those numbers begin to shift and sanders will make more inroads for the african-american community. that's what happened in 2008. barack obama was actually losing african-american voters to hillary clinton in south carolina up until the day after he won the iowa caucus and those numbers moved dramatically towards obama. that has not happened to date and that gives the clinton campaign, you know, a real sigh of relief, i guess, as they head into this tough period. >> so both bernie sanders and hillary clinton, no doubt, hearing a little bit that barack obama, the current president of the united states said yesterday. he was asked about both candidates at a news conference and he talked about them in ways you don't usually hear a sitting president do. let's listen to what he said. >> i know hillary better than i know bernie because she served in my administration and she was an outstanding secretary of state. and i suspect that on certain issues she agrees with me m

>> i think the hillary clinton campaign gets the hell out of new hampshire. it's a good night for bernie. a bad night for hillary. i think the campaign have seen in for a little while. they managed the expectations of it. telling everyone they're going to lose new hampshire and lose it pretty decisively. if you look at what they're saying tonight, you know, you might think that this is partly truth to this. you look at the nevada campaign, the state where the kay cuss electorate is overwhelmingly hispanic, and she does very well with hispanic voters. then they go to south carolina where 50% of the electorate is african-american. she's doing incredibly well with african-american windows. there is a 50-point spread. that is a good place to start coming into march. and then remember, in marc march--after those first four states are done, about 4% of the total delegates will be awarded. by the middle of march 50-plus% will be awarded. they have their eyes on the long ball. those are states where they've had a head start in terms of organizing. the math seems to f

how serious they are for the clinton campaign. we'll talk with all of you throughout the evening, including after tonight's pbs debate from milwaukee which we're simulcasting right after this broadcast at 9:00 eastern. then a late live extended version of "ac 360." >>> republican ted cruz, donald trump both holding live events right now. it's turning into a real slugfest and more battling for african-american voters. and one is questioning senator sanders' role in the cause. ♪ with advil, you'll ask what backache? what sore wrist? what headache? what bad shoulder? advil makes pain a distant memory. nothing works faster stronger or longer than advil it's the world's #1 choice. what pain? advil. at ally bank, no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like grandkids equals free tech support. oh, look at you, so great to see you! none of this works. come on in. you gein your car. odors you think it smells fine, but your passengers smell this. {ding} eliminate odors you've gone nose blind too, for up to 30 days with the fe

the ball is really in the clinton campaign's court. all they have to do is say march 6, flint, michigan, and then we'll do a debate in new york, preferably new york city prior to the new york primary the week before. if they say that, we're good to go and will be there in new hampshire. we're not going to let the clinton campaign determine when and where we have debates. this is going to be something that the campaigns work out. >> if hillary clinton's campaign agrees, has debbie wasserman-schultz and the democratic committee authorize the the additional debates? >> thets not clear to me. the msnbc debate was put on the table without dnc sanction initially, so i'm want sure that that's really the controlling factor at this point. >> okay. jeff weaver, good luck to you. give our best to the senator as well. we'll be watching the content tonight and what happens on all of this. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. thank you. >> when iowa ends tonight, by the way, the race moves to new hampshire, cnn will have a very special

that's what the clinton campaign was looking for. that's what they were looking for, a wow number. >> and that's a wow number and that shows you the payoff of hugging president obama, right? and i think the struggle that bernie sanders has had, you know, i think the toughest hit the clinton campaign put on bernie sanders was on hitting him for trying to primary barack obama. the whole point of trying to surface that issue, that radio interview that bernie sanders gave back in 2011 saying, you know, maybe it would be a good idea if president obama were primaried, surfacing it was exactly for this moment. to send that message to african-american voters, hey, wait a minute, as bernie sanders says he's trying to be more like obama, just look at this. and you have to look at these numbers and say, wow, that is -- to me, anything -- i would have been impressed with 70, 75%. the fact that sanders couldn't get in the 20s, i thought he had a shot to get 30 to 35% of the african-american vote. but i go back to something i said earlier, rachel

with the clinton campaign. rough night for the campaign, but as they rightly point out, this is going to be a long, long campaign and one night of bad news is not -- does not end the campaign. and now, of course, the big challenge for bernie sanders to turn his campaign even more into a credible national operation. let's bring in cnn's mark preston for that. how are they going to do it? because as you know, clinton so far has had commanding leads among especially minority voters in states such as south carolina and nevada which are the next two up. >> well, what's going on right now, jake, is they're no longer looking at this as a singular geographical contest. we had iowa, we had new hampshire. there's a lot of talk about us going straight to south carolina then nevada. now they're opening it all up. they see this as a national campaign. they're looking at states such as colorado, massachusetts, minnesota, oklahoma. they're putting ad dollars into these states. they're also noting that in march, a majority of

not only do we see hillary clinton wrapping herself in barack obama, but we see the clinton campaign trying to drive a wedge between barack obama and bernie sanders. that he was thinking, perhaps, of maybe primarying him or encourages others to do so, that he called the president weak. the whole litany of stuff that the clinton campaign has been pushing about bernie sanders distancing himself in some way from barack obama being the liber liberal critic of barack obama. this shows why. remaining larger than the universe of voters who want a more liberal direction. we'll see when final numbers come in. that's what they're trying to drive up. >> interesting considering the fact barack obama and hillary clinton were adversaries eight years ago and talking to people at clinton events back in new hampshire and iowa, that a lot of people said that they were going for her because they supported barack obama, and they did agree with the idea that she was going to continue doing what he's doing. >> never thought you'd say hillary clinton is the barack obama candidate, but that's what it is her

the clinton campaign did a good job of peeling off? of the members so we didn't do as well down here. john: but as i recall you guys won the delegates. more important than winning 9 popular vote. >> that's interesting. it's the very first time the media turned that are tonings delegate -- delegates. so why am i so confident she's going to win? remember the last election on super tuesday in march, february of 2008. we win idaho by like 60 pints -- points. do get a delegate you need to win landslides. where is bernie going to have a land slirde? vermont. she's going to be close. she's going to win a bunch of these southern states by big margins and thren have a delegate lead. john: we just did a bloomberg pool of south carolina for republicans and democrats. the numbers out today, the interesting thing is clinton way ahead, not unexpectedly but sanders still beats here -- her with light voters in south carolina. she wins among african-americans, 59-20. a huge deal in a state where 50% of the voters are going to be african-american but wh
