breaking news next, senator bernie sanders told by u.s. officials that russia is trying to help his presidential campaign as part of its effort to meddle with the upcoming u.s. presidential election. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa so w>>i'm searching for info on options trading, and look, it feels like i'm just wasting time. wasted time is wasted opportunity. >>exactly. that's why td ameritrade designed a first-of-its-kind, personalized education center. see, you just >>oh, this is easy. yeah, and that's >>oh, just what i need. courses on options trading, webcasts, tutorials. yeah. their award-winning content i

not only bernie sanders. and in south carolina, the outcome will tell the story. >> so the same question, i guess, for michael bloomberg, as it pertains to stop and frisk. has he done something to make amends, if that's the right word? and if not, what in the world could he do at this point? >> well, you know, i think step in the right direction has come out and apologize, talk about it was a bad policy. and then from there. what other things has he done since stop and frisk to try to recover from that very bad policy that our organization file add lawsuit against new york city to stop. those are important questions. we have a problem in minneapolis with a young man still serving time for a crime he did not commit, and that was as a result of prosecution by senator klobuchar as a prosecutor. we still are dealing with the question of aggressive policing in south bend, indiana. the crime bill has been a problem for many people who are still incarcerated and as a result of the vote by joe biden and senator berni

but because it is bernie sanders, specifically, and we already know how the dnc feels about bernie sanders, how establishment democrats feel about bernie sanders, i wouldn't be surprised to see them sort of conspiring, trying to do things to take the nomination away from bernie sanders. so i don't think that it is most likely. i think it's more likely than it ever has been in the past. >> neil: let me help you with this. there's another school of thought, it has happened more often that it hasn't that weber has the most number of delegates getting to that convention usually wins on the first ballot, because everyone sort of glamis toward that candidate. but normally that means that candidate has a substantial lead in those delegates. what do you think happens in that event? >> well, i think you're exactly right, i think it depends to the extent that we get there, what percentage of delegates the front runner has. if it is in the 44 alas, that is one sort of conversation, if it is around one-third, that's a very different set of conversation, when two-thirds of the party have chosen another

he also argued that sanders' nomination would hurt down-ballot democrats. >> senator sanders believes in taking away that choice, removing people from having the option of a private plan and replacing it with a public plan whether you want it or not. >> reporter: disappointment for senator elizabeth warren who had a very good debate performance, and that brought her some record fundraising, but it didn't have the kind of impact that she needed to have an outcome in the caucuses yesterday. also a disappointment for senator amy klobuchar and tom steyer who are battling it out for fifth place. and, of course, former mayor michael bloomberg, we have not yet seen how he might shake up the field when he enters the race on super tuesday. leland? leland: noteworthy, warren in her remarks was going after bloomberg rather than bernie for her statement in terms of where the real risks were in the democratic party. jacqui heinrich, early morning in las vegas for you and your team, we appreciate it. gillian: president trump reacted to yesterday's caucuses by congratulating bernie sanders for his w

>> bernie sanders. if joe biden has a stronger second-place finish, he is in a good position going into south carolina. doesn't look like his numbers are moving up so much. >> bernie sanders and latino voters. this is one of the occasions where latino voters are front and center, people are talking about it and thinking how did he do this? that's a win for the community. >> similar. bernie sanders and black voters because all eyes on them going into south carolina. they will be a very important vote not just for bernie sanders potentially, but also joe biden. >> do you think there is a surge for an amounttilternative to san south carolina? >> for the folks i talked to down there, it looks like bloomberg's actually in play, even steyer to some extent, which is very interesting to he moochlt we'll see. >> bernie sanders and possibly texas democrats. when you look at what's happening in texas and you see the size of that crowd, there are people who are salivating, you know, an ongoing effort to turn texas

younger black voters are most familiar or most like sanders, so they will vote for sanders. there is no doubt there will be some turnout. the problem with turnout in 2016 wasn't black voters. black voter turnout dropped from historic highs in 2008, 2012 with the support for the barack obama presidency. to more normal levels. what you would expect. the problem was latino turnout come a group that sanders is particularly strong in has been a lot of effort, millions of dollars into filing will, even in states like iowa, which latino but was only 5%, 6% of the voter or less. i think this will translate very well. with the women question, it is absurd to think donald trump given his record, given his intense saw janine, would be able to credibly run i in a campaign accusing sanders of sexism. that was the weakest part of mr. fum's piece and it makes no sense to me. amy: we're going to go to break and come back to this debate. david, can respond on the others of this break. ,e are speaking with david frum author of "trumpocracy: the corruption of the american republic." and bhaska

sanders: our agenda is not complicated. it says if you work 40 hours a week, you should not live in poverty. we are going to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. [cheers and applause] sen. sanders: it says to women that we are going to end the absurdity of women making $.80 on the dollar compared to men. equal pay for equal work. [cheers and applause] sen. sanders: it says to the millions of workers who want to join unions to get better wages and working conditions, we are going to make it easier for you to join unions. double union membership in four years. it says to the young people of this country, you should not have to go deeply into debt in order to get a higher education. we have to redefine what public education means in the year 2020 and what it means to me is that we make public colleges and universities tuition free. it means that we cancel all student debt. [cheers and applause]n.anders: t on sen. sanders: when we talk about an agenda that works for working families, it means we are going to end the i

sanders just cleaning up here. go to the other end of the scale, 65 plus, and suddenly sanders is running in fifth place at just 12%. this is where his support is not evenly distributed. it's not widely distributed. it is heavily concentrated on the south side of 45 years old, and it gets tougher. the older you get, it gets tougher and tougher for standers to stand out in this field. that's the question when you get to a ceiling. look at it this way. about half of the democratic electorate is 50 years old. about half is under 50 years old. if there is the making of a stop sanders coalition, we have all this tuck about is it one racial group, one ideological group. i think if there's the makings of a stop sanders group here, it would be older voters, non-white, white, moderate, liberal. it's age. i think there's something about his ideology, about his sort of place in our politics, you can probably discuss it and diagnose it a lot better than me. but he seems to register very differently depending on what generation

people have trying to stop sanders? bernie sanders stands for something. >> it's the reason people ask why is it young people, young people of color flocking to bernie sanders? i think to their mind he puts things in a simple context. he understands something. he has long held views. and he's not willing to back down from them and there's some -- you know, there are people who admire that and you can understand that. i think some of the same thing goes into the trump people. >> you guys tried to -- >> yeah. >> sell the softer version. he is unrealistic. i get you this. >> it doesn't work. look. if joe biden had the zip, mustard on the fastball, you could see a fight. >> probably wins it. >> a restoration versus revolution fight. i can go back to the good old days with barack and the rest of the field splintered, no one makes a compelling narrative against bernie. >> he doesn't have his fastball. >> he doesn't. >> he has junk pitches that make people swing and miss. >> saging that 150 million people die of gun violence i

sanders at 18%. warren down at 13% hoping this was going to be a key strength for her throughout this entire eve of the campaign. let's look at the flip side about noncollege educated white men. and this is going to be the argument sanders makes going forward, his electability argument he can win over some of those trump voters. white noncollege educated men, she he h that he has the appeal as well. you see how these demographic betta battles are going to shape the electability argument going forward. >> well, i think what's stunning to me in looking at these numbers is how much amy klobuchar has really hurt elizabeth warren. she's taken a lot of women from her. she has taken clinton supporters from her. and amy klobuchar is i think the one that maybe elizabeth warren didn't expect to be up there. her -- warren's campaign manager sent out a public memo when they knew they were not going to win tonight and talked about sanders, starts with a ceiling that's lower than what he had in 2016. biden no long

we have peter doocy at sanders campaign headquarters. >> hundreds or more bernie sanders supporters have been either standing or sitting for about three and a half hours now and there were major boos that rang through the entire crowd as a screen showed mayor pete buttigieg speaking. as they continue watching him and the screen continued to show pete buttigieg, the chants turned into "wall street pete," this crowd has also been mixing in other chants, we are the 99%, green new deal, and health care is a right. the senator nor his wife have not been seen, we've seen a few surrogates, the national cochair of the sanders campaign but it sounds like someone else might have come out behind me because people are cheering as loud as they have. we expect to see senator sanders any minute now, i will bring that to you. >> bret: thank you, meantime mayor pete buttigieg putting together another strong showing after his performance in iowa has cropped up gradually throughout the evening. within striking distance of sanders. >> right now pete buttigieg is on the stage behind us thanking his supporter

sanders, 27%. stier, 16%. this is extremely significant going into south carolina because 60% of the democratic voters in south carolina are african-american. , want to thank erika andiola chief advocacy officer for raices action, the advocacy arm for the refugee and immigrant center for education and legal services. and cristina beltran is an associate professor and director of graduate studies in the department of social and cultural analysis at new york university. when we come back, w we hosteted debate on bernie sanders and democratic socialism. we will be joined by richard .olff and paul krugman stay with us. ♪ [music break] amy: frank sinatra. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. as we continue to look at senator bernie sanders' runaway win in nevada, which cemented his position as the frontrunner for the democratic presidential nomination. as sanders' bid for the democratic nomination looks more and more likely, the democratic party establishment and mu

it is bernie sanders. it is bernie sanders if you look at the polls that are out there who goes into this thing tomorrow as the favorite. there's a lot of uncertainty. it's a caucus state, there hasn't been a ton of polling. the polling isn't the most reliable in nevada so we will see. but certainly just based on the polling that's out there, based on the fact that he just came off that win in new hampshire, bernie sanders goes into this the favorite. one of the reasons sanders goes into this as the favorite is nevada's diverse lecturing. more than a quarter of hispanic or other, that's largely hispanic in this group. also some asian. this is a large hispanic population. this is the first state with a large hispanic population. and we've seen polling that shows bernie sanders running in the lead with hispanic voters. his campaign thinks that's one of their strengths that hasn't got a lot of attention. if that is real, if that's a real thing, we will know tomorrow about bernie sanders. in terms of what to e

there are more candidates in the anti-sanders lane than sanders himself. for now at least, the next eight days are critical and the math is on senator sanders' side. >> they say, you know, bernie can't beat trump. so let's look at some of the polls out today. >> bernie sanders is on a roll. driven by his winning momentum and his campaign movement. >> in the key battleground states, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania -- >> a very trumpian move, calling out his own poll numbers. >> general elections, cbs, sanders, 47. trump, 44. >> it's setting up the most critical stretch of the democratic primary, with rivals scrambling to slow sanders from mounting an insurpassable lead in delegates. joe biden is hoping south carolina voters put the brakes on sanders' rise. telling us the self-described democratic socialist would doom the democratic ticket. >> it's not just can you beat donald trump. can you keep a democratic house of representatives in the congress and bring along a democratic senate? can you help people up and down the line? >> pete buttigieg making the

bernie sanders has a base. you nope, the parallels between the -- you know, the parallels the way trump came to be president and bernie is trying to, are there. joe biden understands he's the jeb bush in the mix. ha what's he going to do. the lack of understanding and knowledge about the 2nd amendment is something that all over the country. bernie sanders is from vermont, they use guns, know guns, they hear someone like joe biden who's the vice president of the united states mislabel it and mispronounce it and misinform about guns, the last thing they want is someone writing policy to take those guns away, because they don't understand >> rachel, i think donald trump has a unique opportunity here, with black and hispanic voters to seismically change politics for the republican policy. if he moves the needle just a little bit with those two blocks of voters, this could change politics forever. think about what he stood for, school choice, criminal justice reform, whether you agree or not, these are things that w

the fact is bernie sanders never considered challenging barack obama, bernie sanders never considered running for president before 2015, and the fact is -- >> then why did he tell senator leahy he did? >> we dispute that. it's not true. >> so you're saying he never had that conversation with senator leahy? >> absolutely. >> okay. well, i certainly appreciate, ari, having you on and hearing your side of this. ari ra ari ribin-havt with the bernie sanders campaign. good luck tonight. >> thank you. >>> it's certainly going to be a big one for all the candidates as well. meanwhile, the president is downplaying the threat of the coronavirus. is he trying to minimize it for his election? >>> in an extraordinary moment, president trump said two liberal supreme court justices should recuse themselves. hear why. if you're staying at holiday inn. we're there. so you can be too. how do you gaveeno® happy 24/7? with prebiotic oat. it hydrates and softens skin. so it looks like this. and you feel like this. aveeno® daily moisturizer get skin healthy™ i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my

and sanders got 53%. look at what happened in the other congressional district where we have satellite caucus results. even more dramatic. sanders got 75%. buttigieg got 5%. so the upshot of this is what? let's go back to those -- and there are two that have not reported. the upshot of this is what? we have the state delegate equivalent total i'm telling you about. the gap is 16. from those two i just showed you sanders was able to make up eight. okay? there are two to come in. if the same exact thing happens in those, that 16 obviously comes down to single digits. but sanders could do even better because the number of state delegate equivalents for those satellite caucuses depends on turnout. we're not going to know the number till they tell us. there's a possibility here the number could be anywhere between 12 and 20 at a very high end that sanders is able to net here. so the possibility exists. sort of an outside possibility. but you can't rule it out looking at those numbers you saw in the first two,

sanders: and those are his good qualities. our campaign is about more than defeating trump read our campaign is about creating an economy and a government that works for all of us, not just wealthy campaign contributors. families of this country are sick and tired of the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality that exists. they are working longer hours, they are working two or three jobs and almost all new income and wealth goes to the top 1%. the working people of this country ought tired of a corrupt political system in which billionaires think they can body elections. -- think they can buy elections. we say to them today we are a democracy, not an oligarchy. you are not going to buy this election. [applause] the reason we are going to win here in nevada with your help, the reason we are going to win the democratic nomination with your help, the reason we are going to defeat trump is because we have an agenda that speaks for the needs of working families, not the billionaire class. [applause] sen. sanders: our agenda

>> bernie sanders has more contributions. >> is that a no? >> that is a now. >> reporter: donald trump said the dnc is working overtime to take the nomination away from bernie again. watch what happens to the superdelegates in rig convention. for once itself like sanders agrees with the president. >> the democratic establishment. they should be getting nervous. >> reporter: as sanders rallies in las vegas a new wall street journal poll finds double digits over all the other democrats and michael bloomberg fighting online. the president initially accused bloomberg of making a pay off, cash or campaign endorsements in bloomberg asked why someone like bernie -- the president rolled back many know that i would rather run against you. >> is pete buttigieg surgery that new hampshire and i with as many delegates as bernie sanders he is attracting new attention from the far left including lgbt q activists. we look at how buttigieg is handling new challenges as he preps for nevada. >> he has more delegates than any other candidate, it could change dep

that gaff undermining biden's point attacking sanders for previous pro-gun votes with sanders choosing to focus on the future. >> we need to expand background checks and the gun show loophole and do what the american people want, not what the nra - >> reporter: latest polling shows biden and sanders pretty close in the palmetto state, biden at 27%, sanders 23, tom steyer in third place at 15%, the billionaire activist -- bernie continuing his grassroots small dollar donations racking up $1 million while on stage last night. why are we here? we are going to be speaking to the voters about what they thought about last night's debate. will it matter? did somebody stand out and do something to change what is expected in south carolina? we will find out that and we we hear from the voters in a few hours. back to you. >> i want to know what they think of the naked cowboy reference and uncle dick on the deer stand. >> reporter: i liked uncle dick on the deer stand but bloomberg's jokes, he needs a comedy consultant. heather: i don't know, thank you so much. 2020 democrats asking questions on

his name is bernie sanders. he's the delegate leader. he's building momentum and it may be too late to stop him. i'll talk to a senior adviser from the sanders campaign in just a few moments. but first, lets start with our road warriors on the ground in south carolina shaquille brewster with the sanders campaign, mike memoli with the biden campaign, vaughn hillyard with the buttigieg campaign. all three are eating well, in the charleston area, in the low country. mike, i'll start with you, with the biden campaign. the former vice president has pointed to the palmetto state as his firewall. the last few polls have shown bernie sanders gaining crowned on him there. what is the argument that joe biden is making to voters there to try and pull off a win? >> reporter: well, craig, yes, we are eating well here in charleston. we look forward to seeing you here in a couple days. the biden argument here in south carolina is a big picture one nationally and also very much a local argument. i'll start with the local argument. we just heard from the

-- vermont sanders. i'm so nervous. vermont senator bernie sanders. >> shall we dance? >> yes. so you are the front-runner. you've had the results. you clearly have energy, and now along with it you will have the target. a representative of the bloomberg campaign said there's one person who matters on a debate stage tomorrow night

, sanders wins. that said, most democrats win in those head-to-head matchups too. so it speaks to the weakness of the president going into the general election right now. >> let's talk. howard fineman's report. he is referring to sanders and bloomberg and trump. are these three names you expect to dominate the conversation going forward? >> it really speaks to me as to how much trump tore up the playbook of traditional politics in the 2016 election. trump's allegiance has shifted over the years. bloomberg a former republican and spent time to heavily elect republicans in the past. sanders, himself, was not a democrat until relative recently. so it goes to show how, you know, trump tore up the playbook and voters seem to be looking for a new kind of politics. >> clearly what sanders is doing. though, is it, you know, behoofing the democratic party to, you know, or at least establishment people to continue to push back against that instead of just letting the voters have their will? >> well, i think wh

however, as it currentlyver ber sanders. -- slight lead over bernie sanders. elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar with a good night for sitting at seven. joe biden at six. real questions about the money, the organization going forward. no question about it from joe biden. he believes south carolina is his firewall. so much so that he was there on new hampshire primary night. >> yep. remarkable you have to scroll up to find biden on the results. that's just really remarkable. thank you, phil. >>> it's going to be a long 17 days for joe biden before the south carolina primary. the former v.p. led the democratic polls for the best part of a year, but he left new hampshire before most people even voted. >> we just heard from the first two of 50 states, two of them. i all the nation, not half the nation, not a quarter of the nation, not 10%, 2%, 2%. where i come from, that's the opening bell. we need to hear from nevada and south carolina and super tuesday states and beyond. >> jessica dean covers the the s in manchester, new hampshire. jessica, how does he leave bef

let's start with bernie sanders. what do you think sanders has done differently this time around that's given him some black support. he really struggled with this in 2016. >> again, i think some of them have seen what we have been doing on the ground here in south carolina in terms of going into these communities, addressing the issues on b a personal level. >> have you seen bernie sanders' campaign doing that? >> i have seen all the campaigns do that. that's the important part. >> pete buttigieg is the not getting any support in the african-american community. some of their efforts are clearly being better received than others. >> listen, i can't get into who is doing better than others as it relates to the campaigns, but i have seen campaigns go into these communities, go to where the folks are and talk about the things that they really care about. here in south carolina, we have an area called the corridor of shame. an area made up of a number of counties and many of them are in jim clyburn's district. the rural

he and bernie sanders. and i think he needs and expects and wants a big night because he really does need that push. >> robert gibbs, we have had the experience of people loving the candidates some the most and saying them on cable news. her's what jim clyburn said about the biden campaign. joe biden is such a good guy. he hates to say no to the good friends. if we are we feel tonight in the campaign he has to relaunch. i think we will have to sit down an get serious about how we retool this campaign. how we retool the fund raising, how we do the get out the vote. and at that point many of us around the country will be able to join with him and get it right. why is this happening today? >> well i think this is that moment of relaunch. they need it. if they didn't win tonight it was impossible to see this going forward. but even a big night tonight still puts structural pressure on this campaign. they have one office in california. one. >> wow. >> you have campaigns that have dozens of offices. does he have

>> sanders: we do. i mean, you know, and-- and-- the price tag is-- it will be substantially less than letting the current system go. i think it's about $30 trillion. >> cooper: that's just for medicare for all, you're talking about? >> sanders: that's just medicare for all, yes. >> cooper: do you have-- a price tag for all of these things? >> sanders: no, i don't. we try to-- no, you mene making public colleges and universities tuition free and canceling all student debt, that's correct. that's what i want to do. we pay for that through a modest tax on wall street speculation. >> cooper: but you say you don't know what the total price is, but you know how it's going to be paid for. how do you know it's going to be paid for if you don't know how much the price is? >> sanders: well, i can't-- you know, i can't rattle off to you ever nickel and every dime. but we have accounted for-- you-- you talked about medicare for all. we have options out there that will pay for it. >> cooper: taxes on corporations a

i think bernie sanders is about to ta ke i think bernie sanders is about to take the stage. his campaign is getting ready for him to ta ke is getting ready for him to take the stage and we will... there is, you can see the people there covering and waiting for bernie. you can never quite know when they're going to talk. we're going to try one more time to speak to zach who is at elizabeth warren's campaign. it was interesting watching warren, to the stage, how are her supporters feeling as i? you know, i think she rolled them up know, i think she rolled them up with her speech but there is no question that this is a dull, kind of sad night for elizabeth warren. suddenly in new hampshire, she is not on track to get a single delegate was obviously boring state in massachusetts for a place she gets huge crowds coming in from boston, the place where the media covers her arguably more than anyone else. this finisher is low expectations and i think, supporters are hopeful for the future but feeling pretty down tonight. do you think she peaked too early because there were a, a few

there's no doubt this is good sign for bernie sanders. we're at an event that's set to take place at the university of new hampshire. a massive line of folks waiting to go in and see the senator speak and also take in the popular band of strokes that will perform here as well. this all taking place on the eve of the big primary in new hampshire. the sprint is on in new hampshire. >> we're going to have to bring our party together in order to beat donald trump. >> reporter: the democratic candidates in a mad dash across the state. making their final pitch to voters in opening new lines of takes on their rooifrarrivals. >> he's a good guy. he was a great mayor. >> reporter: down playing the experience of pete buttigieg. >> come on, man. this guy is not a barack obama. >> reporter: buttigieg quickly firing back on cnn state of the union. >> he's right. i'm not. neither is he. >> reporter: it's not just biden. >> the message of this campaign is us. >> reporter: senator bernie sanders is attempting to hold off a buttigieg surge by knocking the

sanders won the votes. he and buttigieg are both going to walk away with nine national convention delegates. klobuchar with six. what does that mean in terms of the national situation? after two initial contests. buttigieg 23. sanders 21, warren 8, klobuchar 7, joe biden from iowa getting 6. and you can see for them a long way to g for them. anyway, you have to get to 1,991. >> all right. amazing work tonight as always. joining me now national cochair for senator sanders 2020. campaign. do you and the campaign consider sanders a front runner now. >> yes. he is the front runner. we won the popular vote in iowa and the popular vote here in new hampshire. we're moving strong into nevada and south carolina. >> one thing that's interesting to me. there's a theory of the campaign with sanders. organizing and mobilizing. i think a lot of people felt a gut punch by the iowa turn out numbers. tonight you have higher turn out. do you feel like the theory is presenting itself? >> i do. in iowa if i may go back there f

. >> is bernie sanders your winter? >> bernie sanders went into this debate with all the momentum, the lead in the polls and i don't think he got thrown off track so i would say he was my winner. elizabeth war and was stronger than i expected and i have to call michael bloomberg. doesn't mean he can't come back but it wasn't an impressive debut on the national stage. >> thanks for your time and your analysis. have a great night. we will have more analysis straight ahead of the president's keep america great rally and congressman mark meadows of the great state of north carolina is on deck. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa through the at&t network, edge-to-edge intelligence gives you the power to see every

senator sanders hired latinos. almost 34% of his staff in nevada is latino representative of the community in the state. he has been buying ads in spanish. it is not rocket science. we have been saying this to all of the different campaigns. historically we have been taken for granted and when it comes to issues sanders has been talking about a lot of the issues so critical for the community in a working-class families, free college for all, medicare for all which by the way falls at 80% support in the latino community and the green deal which is the environmental issues are so central and critical for our community. this is a message for all of the candidates. pay attention to our community. don't take us for granted because the latino vote is the way to the white house and we are go to see that in super tuesday. super tuesday. four states are very, very important for the latino community. texas, california, virginia and colorado. you put those four states together almost 800 delegates out of 1,300. that would be

joe biden and bernie sanders were in a tight race. 22% for biden. 20% for sanders. and south carolina, joe biden was well out in front. 32%. bernie sanders back at 16%. the big question, mr. berman is how much does that change after the results in iowa and new hampshire after joe biden to be perfectly frank fell flat on his face. >> what do we know about bounces coming out of iowa and new hampshire heading into those contests? >> exactly. let's take a look back at 2008, right? before iowa and new hampshire voted in 2008 in nevada, look at this large lead that hillary clinton had. obama came in a close second in new hampshire. look at what happened afterwards. that 18-point margin dropped to just a 4-point margin which is similar to what happened in the actual caucuses in nevada. then look at this. look at south carolina in 2008. before iowa and new hampshire voted, look. it was a one-point lead for hillary clinton. look what happened after obama won those iowa caucuses. obama opened up a double digit advantage and ended up winning the state by nearly 30 points. we h

sanders really is the true democratic party. he represents all the big government ideas, all the radicalism, all the weird foreign policy. at the heart of the democratic party, and i think the contrast between president trump and his record to particularly on the economy, just in general, figure out the trump judges and can sanders give us a list of people he'd dominate to the supreme court? they would. be all radicals. it could be" one of the greatest historic campaigns and american history. >> dan: going back to the candidacy ends up by way, an error we went to have fox news or alternative media , it did not happen. where facts actually matter, and i just can't envision a candidacy like sanders and surviving the fact that it's going to get out there that his name is on the bill that would quite literally canceled people's insurance plan. as we saw with the culinary union fight in the viaduct, this is not even popular with union democrats who can't stand bernie sanders ideas. this is got to be a problem for him if he were to wi

the sanders campaign. what are you seeing? >> let's start with the news out of iowa. the sanders campaign. it was previewed on friday saying he didn't want a total recount or recanvas of the results in iowa but he wants the party to look into irregularities in certain precincts. that's what they are doing today with the letter officially asking that in about 25 precincts and three satellite caucus locations for the party to look through the results. for senator sanders here in new hampshire, his message has not been on iowa. he said he had a popular vote win there. he's asking for the voters of new hampshire to give him the victory this time around. he feels good in the position he's coming in at. you talked about the poll numbers and he's been staying on message saying that he is different because he is about the working people compared to other candidates with billionaires and millionaires. listen to a little bit of that message right now. >> why do we end up in a nation where so few have so much? why do

what about bernie sanders? pete buttigieg's plans are very similar and the moderates, klobuchar moving up. >> the president said we will never be a socialist country and when you talk about what they are offering, more taxpayer dollars to create more government programs with more control over your life the people will say no especially with the president has been doing. something none of these democrats have, when you are in the campaign trail and policies are not resonating or not build infrastructure to get you over the finish line. donald trump has brought in a record number of new donors and dollars and we are using that to get our grassroots army trained and ready to go. something democrats continuing to battle it out to contend with as well. >> reporter: nevada coming up quickly, great to have you with us this morning, we will be right back. to even more rea l people than me: jd power. 448,134 to be exact. they answered 410 questions in 8 categories about vehicle quality. and when they were done, chevy ea

russia is now trying to help bernie sanders. u.s. officials have told the vermont senator that the government is trying to assist his campaign. that briefing with sanders said to have taken place last month. sanders revealed that to reporters tonight. watch here. >> let me tell mr. putin, the american people whether you're republicans, democrats, and independents are sick and tired of seeing russia and other countries interfering in our elections. the intelligence community has been very clear about it whether trump recognizes it or not or acknowledges it or not they did interfere in 2016. the intelligence community is telling us they are interfering in this campaign right now in 2020, and what i say to mr. putin, if elected president, trust me, you are not going to be interfering in american elections. >> evan perez is out front live in washington for us tonight. evan, what more are you learning about the briefing for sanders? >> the russians never stopped doing some of this activity, kate. it turns out that the fbi and the intellig

jane sanders. she says his run this time feels different than in 2016 because he has so much name recognition because those policies that were once seen as very radical have now come into the mainstream. she used the $15 an hour minimum wage is an example. also because they came so close to winning in 2016, they only lost to hillary clinton in the caucuses by .3 percentage point. they've been able to draw on that existing support especially well he's been sidelined in washington during impeachment and really call on those volunteers that his campaign said volunteers knocked on half a million doors. has the most grass-roots donors of any of his rivals. they are hoping this people come out in force tonight. >> tucker: we are going to find out very, very soon. i will be interested to hear what the reaction is. jackie, thank you for that. the numbers from the state of iowa starting to come in. stay with us throughout the night to find out the winner. we will tell you as soon as we hear. >> tucker: as w

he said bernie sanders is plenty healthy. he'll be around for a few years, but he is not going to be around in 25 years. he is not doing this for himself. he wants to save the education system and rewire the economy and change the way we do student debt for other people. and it was a really interesting way to flip this age thing that's been used against him, flip it around. what do you think of that kind of argument? >> well, i think that the under 30 generation is particularly progressive because they've been hammered by the economy in ways that my generation, for example, wasn't, that i grew up, i came of age in a pretty good economy. a lot of inflation in the '70s, but strong economy. these folks either students or nonstudents who talk a lot about college grads, but let's look also at folks who aren't college grads who entered this economy where blue collar work, well paid, has started to disappear. among the students you have mountains of debt. i think bernie sanders' appeal is very, very clear to them when you look at tw

sanders instead of bloomberg tonight? >> many of the folks that are on the stage are on the moderate bent and want to basically hurt bloomberg so they can pick up the voters to naturally come to them but by doing that you leave the field completely open to bernie sanders and i think that the only other person who would have been able to hobble him is elizabeth warren. >> i would love nothing to see a financial services debate between elizabeth warren and michael bloomberg. >> that's some great television. >> that's saying a lot about -- >> absolutely like i implore both of them. let's go do it. that would be a lot of fun. that isn't going to happen tonight but she is in this interesting spot. bloomberg's a great foil more her in many ways and who she is thinking about writing half of her financial regulation policy. on the other hand bernie sanders is in the way. >> she is trying to do both. she is trying to say hitting bloomberg on corruption, that this is what i'm talking about talking about a corrupt government that's

sanders won. african-americans, biden edged him out a little bit amongst older voters, believe it or not, biden edged him out. but he won in almost every other category. most times it was biden or buttigieg. in one or two cases warren who were next up. but the consolidation argument, the vote for me, because i can be the big tent the party needs to be. right now the democrat party is too tense. and bernie sanders won in both of those tents. so people who think they want to vote for the person most aligned with them, bernie sanders got the most votes, and for people who said they want somebody who can beat trump, bernie sanders got the most votes. >> hook hlook how far he's actu come. in 2016 he was the candidate of young, white voters. hillary clinton was able to pull off the nomination. he learned some really key lessons in 2016, and he went directly back to those latino voters who he was not able to win in 2016 and worked them hard. and look, that gives them really strong evidence moving forward

they finished in a relative tie with bernie sanders in iowa, in a lot of the polls sanders is leading buttigieg by a few points. we have seen him on the trail talking about senator sanders and whether or not he can pay for the plan that he proposed. he talks a lot about whether there is a choice between revolution or the status quo or whether there is a middle ground and i think buttigieg has been arguing that he can be that middle ground. i think we're seeing in this campaign not so much of a focus on joe biden, but a focus on the candidate who appears to be ahead of him here in the state of new hampshire, which is bernie sanders. i think the buttigieg argument to voters here is essentially that you have another choice, you do not have to go all the way to either extreme. >> good to see you, abby, thank you very much. jessica dean is covering joe biden today, in the town of gilford, new hampshire. jessica, biden's facing tough questions, you heard that with what jeff zeleny was asking, about his standing in the race. what is he saying? >> reporter: yeah, that's been the line of quest

those went to bernie sanders. there was still like an over 20-point lead of bernie sanders among young people. when it comes to a lot of folks like myself that have come in new fresh into the party, they are still showing they're with bernie sanders. >> it does worry me about -- not just with sanders but overall why was it at 201 levels when there seems to be such an impetus to vote trump out of office that you would have thought a greater number of people -- >> it doesn't go with the national trend. since trump was elected, we have seen massive voter turnout. it could be you can't hold it for that many hours on a monday night. >> one thing people are going to look at is what impact has impeachment had in deflating that -- this whole impeachment investigation happened, there was a trial, tomorrow the president will be acquitted, his approval rating is up. there is a sense of exhaustion but peopexhaustia iaion can go way. one other thing on impeachment, how did it affect joe biden in iowa? there was a thought that

i would agree with that with bernie sanders. he is -- he is representing, no question, the extreme of the democratic party. he says he's a socialist. and he's angry. i agree. donald trump is not representing the extreme of the republican party. he has crafted a new republican party, but i wouldn't say it's an ultra conservative -- >> let me say i actually agree with rick. >> hold on, he's not. >> which is rare. >> this guy is not for social security reform. he's not for medicare. he's not for reducing -- if you want to look at the, quote, extreme hard-right, that's not donald trump. >> call the rultural issues he representing the extreme. >> he's divisive. >> with all due respect, this is donald trump's republican party and it's going to be donald trump's republican party for the next two decades. i mean, he has completely transformed conservatism in the united states of america. >> i would make the case rick santorum's republican party. i was the guy writing about blue collar conservatives and working with middle income people,

bernie sanders wins the new hampshire primary. former south bend mayor pete buttigieg finishes a strong second. sanders was expected to do well. he is from a neighboring state. though this time he won with a smaller margin than the employeeout victory he posted in 2016. sanders and buttigieg each won nine delegates last night. and amy klobuchar is getting a lot of props for her big third place finish which was a surprise. the minnesota senator is riding a wave of support off her strong debate performance last week. >> elizabeth warren finished fourth. despite the fact she lives next door in massachusetts. and joe biden the former vice president of the united states finished a stadistant fifth and wasn't in new hampshire last night. he moved onto south carolina hoping that once non-white voters actually make up a significant part of those voting, it might turn his campaign around. he's going to need it. joining us now is david gregory? >> a win is a win is a win. i don't have a preference, but if i work for bernie i'm happy i won.

what the sanders campaign and sander himself pointed to, first preference. folks, they never released this number in the past. showing up at caucus sites, who's the first choice for president, bernie sanders, see the advantage is basically 6,000 votes, sanders over buttigieg. on the first preference, sanders four points ahead of buttigieg and then by the way the process in these caucus sites without 15, the second choice and do that, it's tighter but sanders leads there, as well. see the margin, 2,500 votes. both on the measures, closest thing you have ever had to a popular vote in iowa. on both of the measures with 97% in, bernie sanders has leads there over pete buttigieg an he's saying, bottom line, more people came out to support me, sanders said, than to support buttigieg. >> a question, might not be fair, is the bernie sanders argument if this is a primary he would have won? >> they won't say they have the will of the people behind them but they have to say if it's a primary almost certainly the turnout would be much higher. caucus unlike a primary, yo
