hope you're enjoying sedona. looks beautiful up there. >> we were just talking about your campaign. >> it is very beautiful. >> it is. we were talking to kasie and talking to a local reporter up in phoenix. and the thing is, as you know, polls show clinton way ahead here. 50 to 24% lead on sanders, that's 26 points. how do you make this state see -- feel the bern? >> let me say that our internal polling shows the race closer than that. i would remind people that it sounds like the polls we were getting out of michigan before senator sanders won up under. so how we will win here in arizona is how we win every place that we win, frankly. which is senator sanders will talk directly to the people of arizona about the issues that are of importance to them. obviously the economy here hit very hard by wall street collapse. certainly going to talk about that. talk about the need for comprehensive immigration reform here. to deal with a broken criminal justice system. we will take the message right to the people. what we

>> okay, kasie hunt up in sedona, thank you so much. i'm joined here in tucson by former astronaut, mark kelly. husband of former congresswoman gabrielle giffords who represented this district in congress. you've been out campaigning with her. >> we're going to do a couple of things here next sunday and monday, the day before the election. >> i want to ask you about the ads we've seen. hillary clinton putting out one that stars your wife. tell me about the issue. we should remind people. the incident with your wife happened here. happened here. >> a couple of miles from here. >> from where we're sitting. it's an issue close to your heart and something you've been working on a lot. do you feel like that's a way hillary clinton can separate herself from the rest? >> it's not only that. i mean, hillary clinton, when you look at all of these candidates, it was very clear to us pretty early on there's only one candidate that has the experience and also the willingness to stand up and fight for what most americans believe in, that we should d

msnbc's kasie hunt joins us from sedona, arizona, not a bad place to be anytime of year. what are you hearing from the sanders folks about their path forward? >> reporter: chris, we are in sedona because bernie sanders has some family here, they took a day and a half or so off the trail to regroup and think about how to go forward. he huddled yesterday with his top advisors here in sedona and jeff weaver and tad divine two of those top people in his campaign said the strategy is to continue sold ring forward exactly the way they had always planned. they do believe that the calendar for the rest of this primary favors them, there are more western states, places where he's stronger and it's a little bit more spread out so he will have the chance to go to one state, campaign hard there, but the reality is this delegate lead that clinton is massing has gotten potentially insurmountable at this point and sanders still has to prove that he's capable of consistently winning these bigger states and not just by a small margin. winning them by a lot. so the next big contest like th

flagstaff, sedona, this is where senator sanders was last night. he also spent time in pima county along the borders as well, both democratic candidates going even to the left of president obama on the immigration issue, trying to win the democratic vote in arizona. obviously the republican vote has a very different view in arizona. i want to show you back to 2014, these are the house districts. you have the democratic disabilities in this part of the state, more conservative part in this part of the state. we'll just watch turnout tonight beep kn . as we wait for the ruesults to come in, if ted cruz can support donald trump tonight -- it's been a while for a win. ted cruz's people early last tuesday were telling his people he thought they were going to get missouri and north carolina, they came up just short in both. arizona will be a win for him if he gets arizona. >> anderson, back to you. >> how important is a win for ted cruz tonight? not just arizona but if anywhere, it's mostly likely to be utah. >> i've been trying to find pockets where don

the owner, david sedona was stunned by what we -- by what he saw on surveillance. she credits her faith for surviving. >> god. there is no explaining it. after i seen the video, i didn't know what it really looks like. i just figured i was in a tornado. i had never seen the sky swirl. it was so pretty but i was scared. i braced myself between the coke machine, and that was just to brace myself. >> what a miraculous moment. that twister badly damaged the store, pulling off a wall, these two, the storm created an unbreakable bond of survival. >>> super tuesday has arrived. voters in 13 states will make their picks for the democratic and republican presidential nominee is. weijia jiang explains how today could cement the front runners. >>reporter: voters are lining up at pull stations on super tuesday in what is expected to be a record turnout. polls show donald trump with a significant lead over his opponents and most of the 12 states holding republican primaries and caucuses. >> treb 49%. >> reporter: but pollster says those may be low. >> some people want to acknow

kasie hunt is in sedona, arizona. what's the sanders campaign reaction to the report about the president? >> reporter: chris, well, they are soldiering forward regardless of this. i was just talking to jeff weaver, bernie sanders' campaign manager, and he said, well, if you want somebody to get out to unify the party, hillary clinton is more than welcome to leave the race and bernie sanders would be happy to be the democratic nominee. so more defiance from this campaign which is planning to soldier on. sanders keeping up a very intense schedule through the western part of the country over the next couple of days. they feel like they are in position to win some western caucus states, utah, idaho are next up. alaska, hawaii, washington state after that. of course, arizona holding a primary on tuesday. public polling shows hillary clinton is in good position here but bernie sanders is spending a lot of time in arizona. by the time we get to those -- that tuesday vote, it likely he will have been here tuesday, thursday, f

msnbc msnbc's kasie hunt is joining us from sedona. >> reporter: jose, the sanders strategy sounds exactly today what it sounded like on monday regardless of the losses. they plan to soldier on. they feel like the second half of this month and into april has contests that savor them. arizona has a primary. probably hillary clinton's best chance to pull out of a win here at the end of march. otherwise, it's caucuses in utah and idaho and washington state, all places where bernie sanders feels like a lot of his supporters are very excited about him and the question, we're still waiting to find out what kind of money they've raised in the hours after those losses if people are still continuing to give them small amounts of money in ways that add up really big. as long as that's happening, you can expect sanders to continue soldiering onward. now, we'll see what the tone of the campaign sounds like going forward. his advisers on a conference call yesterday insisting that the tone was going to stay the same, that he would continue hitting hillary clinton over super pac donations, on issues like

let's go to richard in sedona, arizona, on the line for independents. hi, richard. caller: yes, i would like to say i certainly agree with what joe biden had to say and i felt all along, even for the last several weeks, that the senate should simply go ahead and do their duty. and not delay for reasons that i cannot even understand because what if they really did wait until the next president makes a nomination, what if the next president is in fact hillary clinton who may well be the next president? what kind of a judge can they expect from her? so they should go ahead and vote on judge merrick garland, who by all accounts, is highly qualified, impartial, broad-minded and i think they should -- and who might well make a great supreme court judge for many years. so they should go ahead and take him up. >> all right. thanks for calling, richard. vice president biden at georgetown law school today, and a speech clarifying his position on the supreme court nomination process during a presidential election year and pushing for the confirmation of judge merrick garland t

joining us from now from sedona, arizona, kasie hunt. kasie, you were on that call we mentioned. what's the sanders strategy going forward? >> hey, mika. well, you guys touched on it right there, they think that the back half of this map favors them. they are not wrong in that all these western states, we are in arizona, you've got hide hoe, utah, washington state late next week all voting and those are places where people are really excited by bernie sanders. they also feel like eventually we're going to get to the point where there's basically one contest every week so the next big one like that is wisconsin. so that's a place where they feel like they can basically park bernie sanders, he can hang out there for, you know, full seven days if you listen to what they said about what happened on this past tuesday, it's that, well, we didn't -- if we had given bernie sanders himself a little more time in missouri, a little more time in illinois we would have been able to push those over the edge, but, you're right that the money is what's enabling this and as long as people are con
