robby mook took a community-organized approach that got noticed by the clintons. his elevation to run the whole campaign this time is a vote of confidence in his style, his no-drama style, but also the strategy he approached it with, which now the team that is picking up where he left off in nevada, trying to go the distance against bernie sanders. carol: talk to us about the nuances of nevada and his approach. >> one of the things is that the person running the campaign this time told me that she looked at in 2008 as an area where they lost, and that led to them not winning overall, is that delicate mass being different. the delicate mass in nevada means a vote in one precinct is not worth the same amount as one in another on caucus day. 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 obam

certain questions robby wouldn't answer. i mean, that's sort of robby's mo in general. i think that there are certainly issues like on wall street where they just were trying to stick to being on message when their message is she's not going to be influenced by wall street. that's not answering the question of is she answering these wall street questions, because i don't think anybody that she answered it well last night. who knows how she'll answer what i assume will be more on that from sanders tonight. >> tell me what you think about the bernie bros thing and the fact that brad fallon as the wing man, they raise thing, they seem like they're trying to go there a little bit. >> yeah, it seemed like he sort of maybe fell into it a bit in the conversation over the course of the breakfast and it was toward the end of the breakfast that he -- he got into it. he brought up the term bernie bros and everybody said to him what do you think of the bernie bros. he said bernie bros. and you know, it's clinton in this magazine with "people magazine," i think we're making people o

as you pointed out, robby mook is the campaign chairman for hillary. he ran the state in 2008, and i think he has a real interest in making sure he gets -- well, he hopes to be the first solid win in the cycle. >> the caucuses is a week from tomorrow, a big relationship with new hampshire, campaigned for his wife and she lost big. he has a pretty rich relationship with that state as well, nevada as well. how much do you expect him to see out there and how much of an influence against hispanics, union, et cetera. >> i spoke to harry reid about this and one of the things hillary clinton has going for her is bill clinton. he is out here all the time. he's out on the strip. he plays golf here a lot. so there is some of that. when i went inside, i was out there, i did see bill clinton do an event and there were people lined up for hours waiting to see him. we'll see how much it transfers. something else to remember about nevada. it's very transient state. people keep moving in and out. so the the voter population today is different than it was in 2008 and i

when robbie got trounced by the in south carolina, he didn't pretend that he won. he adjusted and the campaign and they put together a really good conference of plan. is a much easier candidate to beat ben newt gingrich. he response to everything. i have never seen a candidate where was so easy to get inside his head. i don't understand why these campaigns aren't having fun with teams going at donald trump. i can promise you, it is how you will take control of the race and get him responding to you. mark: what stuart says makes a lot of sense to me. henry: i think it is a given that he is going to win tonight. he's probably going to have a very good day on super tuesday as well. stuart and i have worked on some campaigns together. we usually agree. i don't disagree with him here. but i don't think that you have to decapitate donald trump today or tomorrow or next week. he needs to hang in there close enough. where trump is wrong he needs to make a very plain. it would be smart for us to foreshadow what the democrats might do at their national convention. you can im

don't forget, the guy who is the campaign manager overall for hillary clinton, robbie mook, is the guy who ran nevada in 2008. as david plouffe will tell you, the operative they were the most fearful of going up against, when it was obama-clinton, was when robbie mook was running the state. if you came in at a tie, you have to say operationally the clinton team had a slight advantage. what did our entrance poll tell us? essentially it was even steven coming in. organizationally you always gave a pinky on the scale to clinton. they knew this state well, they had already done it, the guy who runs the national campaign ran the state before. that to me is what's playing out here. you know, bernie was able to essentially forge a tie in total turnout. but operationally and on the ground, the clinton advantage is showing. and you see it. it's ever so slight. it could end up flipping, you know, anything's possible. but her lead looks -- while small, it looks durable. >> you know, chuck, you and i know that every election, whether a primary, a caucus, a national election, has two results. one i

campaign manager robby mook is putting out this memo saying the rest is yet to come and saying this nomination will be won in march and they lay out in very detailed strategy how they can win this nomination in march because it's a delegate fight and they are right in saying that some 56% of the delegates will be awarded in march, but this is a moral blow to their campaign. this is a reset for their campaign. it is hard to overestimate the changes and just the structural decisions they will make going forward, but they are getting out in front of this and they will be conceding tonight as soon as the clintons get here, as soon as all their supporters get into this arena tonight, jake. >> and jeff, you know, we have, of course, heard all of the spin, all the expectations in the days and weeks leading up to this that, of course, this is going to happen because it's bernie sanders, practically his home turf because he's from the state next door. as you said, there's a lot in politics to be said about kind of a moral or psychological blow. but beyond that, just looking forward after this, bernie s

stuart: how about robbie. i saw him admitting that hillary would lose in new hampshire i >> he is not saying, hey, you are a loser. my candidate may not finish first. there is a difference. >> second place is the first loser. stuart: i want you to respond to bill clinton. on the campaign trail. roll that tape, please. >> defendant hillary and explaining why they supported her. subject to vicious trolling. attacks. they repeat. >> we know. we know that. you know, i think it is hard. they are really struggling. he is not doing that well. you guys are sexist. >> it is his wife's campaign. i think it is trying to find the proper balance. are you political advisor? you do not know their relationship. their relationship is more professional. it is more of a marriage type relationship. maybe he should step out completely. i don't know if he is helping her. stuart: a picture. it shows what looks like a hub between chris christie and hillary clinton. who is the loser in that? is that hillary or chris christie? >> i thi

the robbie mook hillary clinton campaign manager memo that we saw last nighttimed to be released at poll closing time was a map for a different kind of clinton approach. that was a map saying, we are not going to waiver, we are not going to change, we know where we're going. we're going to march, we're going to win by the end of march. don't expect anything different from us. we know who we are and where we're going this time. we'll see. the campaign manager plans on not running this the way they ran it in 2008 where they kept taking all these 45-degree turns. they're planning on making it more straight ahead. it's not how they've run so far, but we'll see. >> rachel maddow, thank you. get some rest. >> you know, i can't. that's the problem. >> i understand. back to kelly o'donnell, there in trenton, new jersey, to cover what may be the end of the formal christie campaign, but it was in the course of that kelly came on the air and told us about the carly fiorina campaign being suspended. do you have anything to add to either, kelly? >> reporter: i think on the carly fiorina story, brian,

guest: we take that after robbie in florida. caller: bernie sanders was asked about which country was the most dangerous to our safety and he said north korea because of his destabilize a really important region of the world, what do you think of that? guest: japan is preparing interceptors as well as ship destroyers in order to shoot down any kind of incoming rocket from the north. what is dangerous is under the current prime minister, who is -- also could be very destabilizing, the chinese do what -- do not want to see and the south koreans do not want to see a japan with a stronger military because of japan's colonial era actions in the --ion that are still so causing so much pain in historical memory. as far as presidential candidates go, i think the u.s. in general has made a mistake in -- weking north korea have had so many issues that we had to manage, but we need to make north korea much more of a haveity because while we had our eyes on other hotspots, especially in the middle east, north korea has been increasing more,

. >> well, let's turn now to clinton campaign manager, robby mook. happy new hampshire primary. >> thank you. >> it's worth noting that eight years ago, a lot of us with writing off the clinton campaign, at this point in time, at about two hours before polls closed, you guys pulled a surprise. do you feel like you have that going today, or should we be following these polls and assuming they're more correct than you think? >> well, anything could happen, but senator sanders has some special built-in advantages. he's from a border state, since 1980, border states have always won the new hampshire primary. this is an uphill climb, but hillary wanted to come in here, compete, give everything it has, and we'll let the voters decide tonight. >> new hampshire has been pretty good to the clintons, too. this is a state that, you know, in some ways, not only was it the comeback state for bill clinton, but he helped start putting new hampshire in the blue column, starting in '92. this has been a -- and obviously, it saved a hillary clinton campaign. so why sho
