kelly is colligan, democrat line. -- calling in, democrat line. caller: i'm a strong hillary familyer, and so has my than. we are tying again. i have been listening to all the shows and comments, and the one thing i don't think that people realize that maybe, because i have been involved in a lot of elections, presidential elections, is that they are a , as far as bernie sanders. he is a good guy. he has a lot of good qualities. great that he is sticking to the message and not getting into dirty politics. what people are not realizing is that the reason why bernie is doing so great is because the republicans are not touching him . they want him to win, because they don't want to run against hillary. hillary is the one who can win, not bernie. immigrants need to remember that. we need a vote for somebody who can win. host: are you worried about hillary's chances? caller: what do i think? i'm concerned because of the dirty politics and the fact that people are not understanding, again. she has been a target for a long time from the republican side.

have been, not of the democratic electorate per se but in looking in trying to bring in democrats from more rural areas because they have been very pro-gun historically. >> this is part of hillary clinton seeking out not just in the primary process but also looking ahead to the general the obama coalition as her path to victory, right? so where she may have taken positions let's say in the 2008 primary she would look ahead to the general and then be afraid of certain -- >> when the president called her annie oakley. >> right. >> she's looking at it the same. >> democratic presidential nominees have not made a big issue about this, wolf. not al gore, not john kerry, and it wasn't until after the shootings in connecticut, sandy hook, which was after he was reelected that president obama started talking about it in a major way. >> right. bernie sanders has a d-minus rating from the nra. not enough but a d-minus on that point. we're only minute as we from the polls closing in south carolina. state officials there have described the turnout as steady. will enough voters turn out to give ber

now for the democrats. >> on the democratic side, we still don't know who's won. they're calling this too close to call. we've had a little bit of an emerging mini story. a little while about 25 minutes ago we got word sometime within the last hour i should say we got word that the sanders campaign was claiming that the iowa democratic party had failed to put party staff at 90 precincts. there's 1,600 something precincts. 90 did not have democratic party staffers at them. they said that the iowa democratic party had asked for the campaigns to help count at those precincts. this would be 90 out of 1,600 plus. it wouldn't be a huge proport n proportion. we have now had a statement from the iowa democratic party absolutely denying this charge from the sanders campaign. this is a statement from the iowa democratic party. we have just got it in. quote, we are currently getting results from our small number of outstanding precincts. the reports of precincts without chairs are inaccurate. these out standings precincts have chairs. we are in the process of contacting to g

janet: what about democrats? david: a home win for bernie sanders but he broke all of the ideological and demographic barriers. david: it did. hillary griffin has a few problems but young women versus older women, she has to figure that out quickly and she has to solve that problem and i' m sure she' s solving that. south carolina she has a 30 point lead, 60 to 30. according to latest averages. that first set of polls today or tomorrow will be probably 20% that puts sanders in striking distance. ed: obviously the larger african-american population in south carolina, although that isn' t necessarily going to bernie sanders. david: i can' t see her losing south carolina. it is a much more significant chunk of the vote. if you are sanders, every african-american voter you see is like 4 because it is a four ed: you said that donald trump despite saying every unkind word, you' re a member george carlin saying the words you cannot say on television. -- you are member george carlin. janet: he feeds into the antiestablis

we kept on hearing democrats, democrats, democrats. and i'm wondering if she was drawing the distinction because bernie sanders is not a registered democratic. why is the cbc drawing that distinction? >> i think that's one point. i think david pointed out in the last segment, look, bernie sanders has been an independent, and has always been an independent. that helped him in new hampshire where a large number of independents were able to participate in the primary a couple of days ago. and now you're moving into states where democrats are the only ones who will be able to participate. i think what you heard congressman meeks sort of pointing out is that now it's going to sort of be in the party, in the family conversation. but j john, i think i want to go back to a larger point i think they're making as well. many of these members have worked with her as first lady, as senator, as secretary of state, and it isn't lost on folks who have followed many of their careers that these are all about relationships and that's the other point i th

she registers as democrat. she put on her blue democratic shirt. heads on into caucus with the other party, nobody is the wiseer. okay. so wendy voted. that's tomorrow. that's the november democratic caucus tomorrow. now, scene change. there we go, whohoo, well done, my people. it's now, tuesday. tuesday february 23rd. you are looking now at a republican caucus site if nevada. note all of the changes, new sign, new sweater, also grasses, very nice republican voting rolls in nevada closed more than a week ago. so you can't show up and register same day like you could as a democrat. only those registered as a republican can caucus with the republicans at this republican caucus. so you see, some of these previously registered nevadaens are here, these folks in the red shirts, they sign in, they're registered republicans. they have been registered since before february 13th. they head into their caucus. hey, look, there is sneaky wendy, as i said, she's a registered republican. while she just registers as a democrat three days ago, you know what, she's

in terms of the expectations of the two democratic -- major democratic candidates, you know, i think the reason you're hearing hillary clinton is calling it a victory party, and you're hearing her predict a victory, there's no way she can lose gracefully. there's no way she can lose in iowa and spin it positively. so he has nothing to lose in the way she's spiing it, right? whereas bernie sanders could lose in iowa, he has new hampshire coming up, where he's expected to win, so he can lower expectations. >> it's a bigger blow to hillary clinton, you're saying. >> it's a bigger blow to hillary clinton. so she can -- why not spin it as a victory. >> democracy on live television. enough about this studio. look at what's going on in iowa. we're going to take a break and come back with our live coverage. >> people can't wait. people who have health emergencies can't wait for us to have some theoretical debate about a better idea that will never, ever come to pass. >> what secretary clinton has implied throughout this campaign, that somehow i, who spent my life fighting for universal healt

after nevada, democratic contenders will go next to south carolina which has a democratic electorate that is 55% african-american. after south carolina, democrats will head into the march 1st states, the big super tuesday contests. a number of those states have a similarly heavily african-american demographic in terms of who's going to turn out and vote in the democratic contest. nationally, hillary clinton is viewed as having a huge to the point of prohibitive advantage with minority democratic voters of all kinds and particularly african-americans. the last national polling on this was done between iowa and new hampshire. it showed secretary clinton with a lead of 74 points over bernie sanders among african-american democrats. a 74-point margin between them in terms of african-american democratic support. so you'd think that would make the next few races predictable. but wildcard here is that senator sanders is working triple time to try to close that gap. he has announced a number of endorsements from prominent african-american leaders and elected officials in recent days. and in

that might turn on democratic operatives. that does not turn on the base of democratic voters. and i think you're going to see really low turnout here in south carolina. >> let's not have a heart p palpitation. i can guarantee you when you look at registration right now, democrats are still, you know, going out there, they're registering to vote. republicans have the lyons share of the media attention, the lyons share of the media. but i don't believe what we are seeing in the four states, south carolina, nevada, will give us any evidence of what's going to happen. >> you talk about that -- >> some therapy with the gala because he's not sleeping. >> i'm a huge christie fan. >> i don't think we should panic right now. all i'm saying is when we look at registration, people are still going about registration. >> so the party, how do you -- you talked about trying to fix that enthusiasm. >> i think it will change. i think that especially democratic base voters are getting more excited. i was giving the example i was coming because i knew i was coming on the show with anderson. i ha

the democrats understand that bernie is not a democratic socialist. he is not a democrat. he is an independent and decided to be a socialist. revolution is about all to nothing. those people who are dissatisfied -- the points bernie is talking about, we can agree on those things. when you are going, a revolution, how are you going to have that happen? we've done things are party has wanted and when we've done those things we lost power in congress. democrats did obamacare without republicans. we lost the house. ,ecause those same democrats you cannot come out just during the presidential cycle and vote. you did not vote in the midterms. you did not vote enough in your state and local elections. you have to look at this -- we are going to have a revolution? i know better. you said hillary clinton has to sharpen her edge against bernie sanders. what does it she need to do? caller: she needs to help the democratic party realize bernie wants to be the adopted son of the democratic party. use the nameto when it is a convenience. he is trying to use the democratic apparatus to a

democrats. bernie is trying to win by the biggest margin that he can and hillary is trying to lose by the smallest margin she can. i've never seen a campaign like this. but for the spin, obviously the clinton people say if we can get it down then we've got a big victory. the spin that i've heard from the sanders campaign, which i love, is, look, in iowa she won by 0.25% and they declared it a huge victory. so for us anything other 0.25% is momentum. >> we've got to take a quick break. up next, the first exit polling numbers starting with the key question which did voters settle on the candidate they voted for, how long did they stay undecided. answers to that next if we look at a live picture. some of those voters still waiting to cast their ballots in this first primary of 2016. at safelite, we know how busy your life can be. oh no this mom didn't have time to worry about a cracked windshield. so she scheduled at safelite.com and with safelite's exclusive "on my way text" she knew exactly when

henderson, the head of the polk county democratic party. it can't get any closer than this. >> we're going to have to wait until all the votes are counted. it is going to be very close. it is a limit like 2012 with the republicans. cynthia: do you think it could be too close to call even tonight? >> i think they will have the numbers in by the end of the evening. but i can't tell from this board who -- from this board where we are looking for both from. that might dictate who might win. cynthia: how close does it have to be to be too close to call? >> at this point, i think you would want to count all the votes. cynthia: hillary had a very small organization, bernie had the enthusiasm and brought a lot of new caucus-goers. >> having you do something up right there. -- i think you just summed it up right there. enthusiasm to the race and i think it has got a lot of new voters heading to the caucuses. it was always predicted to be a photo finish. cynthia: we heard hillary had to have a resounding win for her to consider a win. >> a win is a w

primary because in the democratic primary, democratic voters like both their choices. they like both candidates. they say they have respect for both candidates. they have a difference of opinion between them as to whether or not one of them is practical or one of them is asking too much. that is why the democratic primary is a constructive thing because these two candidates are not destroying each other. they're not tearing each other down. they are presenting two different ways of approaching the future. >>> there's some tragic breaking news out of kansas. there's multiple deaths after a mass workplace shooting. it happened in hestin, kansas. it's about 40 minutes of wichita.ç the first reports was a man was shooting at people from his vehicle near a manufacturing plant called excel industries. after those first reports came, further reports of gunfire inside that plant itself. turns out those were consecutive reports. there was just one shooter in this incident. witnesses say the gunman worked at the plant. he was carrying a rifle and handgun. moments ago the count

new york was a critical state for democrats. that's going to be a hotly contested primary in new york state. we intend to -- why the clinton campaign seems unwilling to debate in new york city remains a mystery to me. it would be great in they can explain. watching your news this morning, maybe the lynne people can look into it. >> i'll be speaking later this hour with hillary clinton. i'll ask her what's going on with the debate, and we'll get back to you on that. keep watching cnn, jeff, and you'll get an answer directly from hillary clinton. jeff, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. always a pleasure. >> thank you. let's take a quick break. we're standing by to speak live with hillary clinton. she's the winner barely, but she is the winner of the iowa caucuses. >> the iowa democratic party has announce thad 100% of the precincts have reported that hillary clinton is the winner barely, but is the winner of the iowa caucuses. bernie sanders coming in a very, very close second. we're going to have much more on t

but my understanding is from talking to democrats is that even though 39 out of the 44 democrats in the senate have endorsed hillary clinton, elizabeth warren does not plan to endorsing in this primary. but you can bet if this race goes on and sanders and clinton are locked in a fierce battle, there will be enormous pressure on her to change her mind. >> in a word, leverage. jackie? >> so we've been talking a lot about how women especially young women have been voting for bernie sanders. but well before people were feeling the bern, i was talking to pollsters who say after focus group after focus group, young women were not into hillary clinton. this is before the bernie sanders rise. and so you have to think that maybe instead of tearing bernie sanders down, this is a problem with hillary clinton and her appeal to that demographic. >> maybe they should have caught it a little bit earlier? i'll close with this. a big decision in the next 24 to 48 hours for ohio governor john kasich. after placing second in new hampshire, his plan was to just dabble in south carolina, then move on and ge

a democrat. that she hasn't really been, you know, walking the walk. >> he was asked about that tonight. let's listen. >> and it is true. [ applause ] it is true, not to be denied. i am the longest serving independent in the history of the united states congress. people are vermont sent moo to washington as an independent nap is true. but, on the other hand, when i was in the house for 16 years, i caucused can democrats. in the senate for nine years caucused with the democrats of course and i was elected pi the democrats to be chair of the veterans committee three years ago, which viechl proud of and now am i ranking member on. budget committee. i am running for president as a democrat. let me be frank. i do want to see major changes in the democratic party. i want to see working people and young people come into the party in a way that doesn't exist now. and you know what? i want a 50-state strategy so the democratic party is not just the party of 25 states. >> john can i go, is that realistic a

now democrats have it in 2016. and i think this is also a problem that iowa democrats never release, you know, the raw voter data either. that would help clarify maybe in a close race who really did the best job of turning people out. so i think there are some questions moving forward. i understand what the sanders campaign is doing. even though i don't know if it really matters all that much in the sense of, if hillary is the clear winner or sanders is the clear winner, i think they both politically got that what i needeneed -- what they needed. but i think it is smart for the sanders campaign to throw in doubt and make this more of an issue into new hampshire. >> thanks so much. >>> candidates fanning out across new hampshire. why several say this could be the state that makes or breaks their campaign. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults wit

and we'll also talk about the democrats. we don't know who won the iowa caucuses and may not know until wednesday night when hillary clinton and bernie sanders take the stage for a cnn town hall event moderated by anderson cooper. what timing. how important could this be? with this race now just locked in a virtual tie. that is wednesday night 8:00 p.m. only on cnn. >>> also ted cruz takes iowa, marco rubio could be the next story line as you just heard. what is his success in iowa due to trump and due to the others moving forward? also donald trump is not used to playing second fiddle. we have been seeing him tweet all night, folks, what one of his top iowa supporters has to say, what they have to say may surprise you. i was really surprised that i wasn't finding all of these germans in my tree. i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna. the big surprise was we're not german at all. 52% of my dna comes from scotland and ireland. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt. ancestry has many paths to discovering your

the 1976 republican, the 1980 democrats and the need to 72 democrat. in each of those, the person who won in the primaries won the nomination because the delegate stopped. however, this does not mean that conventions are completely gone because it all depends what happens in the primaries. it's entirely possible that someone, particularly in a field, it's entirely possible that nobody walks into their convention with a majority of delegate. it is entirely possible that it is split, better. if there is no first ballot, then you have a convention. in the old days, that used to happen quite frequently, although the 1924 convention which went something like 118 ballot was unusual. but in the old days, it pays to have been quite regularly. it doesn't now because the primary voters kind of sort this out and that is why it doesn't happen anymore. so finally, i asked often, isn't there a more rational way of doing this? this doesn't make ends. why don't we have a national primary? why don't we have regional primaries? there's a ton of smart ideas about their a

i am a democrat. for anybody out there who does not know what a yellow dog democrat is, it is a democrat who would rather vote for a yellow dog than a republican. i him listening to the various definitions of progressive and i think it is obvious. there are many different definitions of progressive as are of any other category. i just want to say a couple things. i know bernie sanders was foricizing hillary clinton having members of congress support her. but we elected these people and we sent them there. they are our representatives. wonder why after 20 years in congress he doesn't have anybody supporting him. host: that was liz from massachusetts. carly fiorina mrs. the debate stage. she will not be on the debate stage. she will miss out entirely on the national spotlight. she had petitioned the rnc to step in and force her inclusion. they did not do so. carly fiorina noted she finished higher than caskasich. she pointed out she has more cash on hand than chris christie and john kasich. in newcurren

democrat,e of a new moderate to conservative democrat. today, hillary clinton is saying he's a progressive and she's fighting bernie over that definition. wow! love it! keep the fight up! you know, that's really so interesting, that now this is a can embrace,y where before they would run away from progressive. they would run away from liberal. that mean? that means we're running away from a lot of opportunities to look at new ideas. >> let's go to a democrat. elizabeth, go ahead. >> yes. sir.morning, i don't call often. i listen quite a bit. call that often. it gets frustrating and confusing a lot. lady, she is very sensible. said! love what she just as i listen, i'm hearing realism.vs. bernie sanders is idealistic. that's fine and good. we wish the world was like that. the world isn't that way. live in, ae realistic world. now who is presenting the issues?c hillary clinton. so give me a minute, please. don't cut me off. don't call often. now, do you know what? the republicans, i've heard them a couple ofump and go againstt to bernie. you

thats the same day as the democratic caucus here in nevada. and the republican caucus follows on tuesday february 23rd. voters will be getting information in the mail on where you need to go. only registered republicans and democrats can take part in the caucuses. republicans must register by this saturday. democrats have until the day of their caucus to register... and they can do that with less than two weeks to go until the first in the west caucuses begin in the silver state... there is a bit controversy some locals say they wont be able to take part because of the date and their faith. fox five's elizabeth watts spoke with local religous leaders. reporter intro: the democrats are hosting six caucus sites on the strip to accomodate the casino workers who work on caucus day.. but some local faith populations says they're being left out as the caucus is being held on a religious holiday. reporter pkg: if youre really sabbath observant you can't drive even if you could walk not in the spirit rabbi shia harlig says he's surprised and disappoin

certainly, the democratic party cannot, given super tuesday. karen: so the first in the nation status is kind of set in stone, is there an opportunity in future years to change the order of the primaries? >> in new hampshire, it is the law. most have been unwilling to >> they did move it forward, but it forward. we could have new hampshire two are not careful. karen: so do these victories in iowa and new hampshire mean anything, in terms of the final voter turnout? next is south carolina which has a large black population and we see the conversation shifting two different issues, which may be more representative of the kinds of conversations they are happening around the nation. >> the conversation is taking place in a different context. as we move toward super tuesday, it is now a national conversation, no longer a retail conversation, like you saw in iowa, south carolina. to the extent it is a national conversation, it will lose some of the flavor that you saw. hopefully, that national whole range of issues we are talking about that are of in

he's getting credit from democratic voters for doing that. if you're appealing to the young idealistic kind of voters that he's atracking they want to believe someone is above it all. >> now, let's look at what the state department is looking at. and not look like he's taking -- >> if you haven't done that, and it's working you just won by 21 points, in new hampshire. it's always an option. and he can deal later on. but why now? his strategy might be a good one. >> when we come back, peter doocy on a candidate you may have not considered. and john roberts on republicans in south carolina. america's election headquarters rolls on, right after this. >>> welcome back to our post debate special. let's talk about someone not a democrat or a republican but might run for president this year. michaelberg isÑi moving closer toward an independent run for the white house. >> he still hasn't debated, michael bloomberg is still thinking about running for president. the mayor just ordered a second national poll to see how he'd do in a head to head race ag

and on the democratic side, a tie. but it's not over former secretary of state hillary vermont senator bernie sanders. meanwhile former governor of maryland martin o'malley announce just a little over an hour he suspended his campaign also republican mike huckabee is suspending his campaign. what settled in iowa right now gop race. again texas senator ted cruz the projected winner there. this is huge for the cruz campaign. and here's the breakdown of the numbers for you. senator cruz won with a 28 percent of the vote. donald trump coming in second with 24 percent. and florida senator marco rubio with a late surge coming in just behind trump with 23 percent. dr. ben carson 9 percent, senator paul rand 5 percent jeb bush coming in 3 percent. everyone got two percent or less. again, mike huckabee announcing justing moments ago on twitter he's suspending his campaign. let's give you better look what's happen with democrats tonight a very close race there. in fact tied with 90 percent of the vote in. sanders split 50/50. th

tomorrow democrats in nevada.. and republicans in south carolina will make their picks for president. mary moloney has the story. the clinton campaign hopes this endorsement from south carolina congressman jim clyburn gives hillary the edge. south carolina: "the future of the democratic party and the united states of america will be best served with the experiences and know-how of hillary clinton as our 45th president."but eight years ago -- clinton didn't have the same support. in clyburn's 2014 memoir -- he said angry bill clinton called him in the middle of the night and promised a fight. clyburn says he's endorsing the former secretary of state now because he fears a long democratic fight. the contest between clinton and sanders has become contentious. presidential candidate: "maybe it's that senator sanders wasn't really a democrat until he decided to run for president. he doesn't even know.. well it's true. it's true."sanders -- a lifelong independent -- insists he is the candidate for change. presidential ca

great considering respecting the democratic r rults to come in more slowly. on the republican side, we've got 20 percent of the present reporting now ted cruz still holding that narrow lead over donald trump 30 percent to 27 percent marco rubio right in the 18 or 19 percent zone all night long ben carson now at 10 percent rand paul four percent jeb bush at two percent mike huckabee is going to be up next onon the extra page at two rcent john casey quan percent these numbers haven't really changed much brought the evening and we get to the bottom three chris christie one percent accent on one percent and still rounding down the 04 gilmore. we've been getng reports of pretty good tnout are then expected a l lot of plas and one y was saying that something we needed was bernie sanders.in the high tutuout britney hibbs s t his camp whwhh is at the holiday inn airport in desesmoines and what some would le there britney? >> good evening guys were here the burning headquarters we are all sort of have her eyes glued to the tv bulgur phones looking at the numbers as ar

if you look at just registered democrats who voted in the democratic primary, he actually ties hillary clinton. it's 49/49. eric, you've been covering the sanders campaign going forward. we have 20 seconds left. does bernie sanders know he's got a problem here? he's got to start winning more democrats if he's going to win. >> he does. he's spending his entire campaign on the idea of ee panneding the electorate, bringing new people in. if you go to his events they look like the future of the democratic party, perhaps not the coalition of voters that wins a primary or wins an election. he's definitely making an effort to make inroads with those democratic voters but he's also telling people point-blank that if he doesn't get big voter turnout, if he doesn't expand the electorate, bring young people in, the people he's winning five to one he can't win elections. his campaign is going to be targeting caucus and primary states where independents, new voters, can register on caucus day, on primary day and he's going to try to rack up delegates in those states. >> a lot more to discuss here.

a democrat. hello. caller: the morning. may i say that i agree with the previous color, you do have a beautiful smile. you do an excellent job. host: thank you. glad that hillary one. -- was the winner. it was a close election. sanders, after new hampshire, he will probably abate. i hope hillary gets in, that is because she will continue the good policies of president obama. thrilled to death got a trumpingmp last night. the elections in november will totally do away party which isa the worst thing that ever happened to our country. host: thank you. victor, georgia. daniel and pennsylvania, hello. hello. yes i'm for donald trump. what he did for the service people i think is great. he would benk that a good president, that is because he is not a quitter. that this of the way government is being run by obama. she has ruined our military. he has ruined our country. that is as far as our debt. people cannot see this. they need to look and see about other people. republican of pennsylvania, mark, ind

myself democrat. host: all right. wast: my favorite teacher from that part of california. sorry, j, but that point that you raise about the labels that we all use, bernie sanders called himself a democratic socialist. it is not likely invented the title. when bernie sanders ran for his first office in for a model in 1980, he ran as a socialist. he was not democrat or republican but a socialist. title that using the they give us. host: in tennessee, independent. caller: hi, folks. host: morning. caller: thank you for your talk. it is really great and i have learned a lot. i wanted -- i am a bernie supporter -- i wanted to make a point about the similarities and bernieald trump sanders, from what i can see. it is interesting that bernie sanders, both independent types, and when you showed that map of mountainsome of those areas, it is interesting that geographically, the mountain areas are going for trump and sanders. one of the big dynamics of this election is the independents. you talk about bernie ge

that's not the democratic party. that's what i saw tonight. >> and charles, you've been pretty much a strong supporter of donald trump. i've got to believe now, especially after new hampshire, that a lot of these candidates are going to begin to drop out. it seems to me that the establishment will coalesce around marco rubio. it's interesting to me because he was a tea party favorite back in 2010. but for comprehensive immigration reform, i think he would have had a lot more support from conservatives. but that's been a big obstacle for him. >> of course, that's also going to be a very big problem for ted cruz going forward. if the establishment does start pressuring some of the other candidates to get out, that money and that support can go behind some establishment person, i think that that -- it's not going to hurt just donald trump, it's going hurt ted cruz as well. but going back to something you were talking about how so many people got everything wrong here. one of my favorite things that got wrong that we saw

just the democratic race. not the republican race that will happen in the same state three days later. weird, right? so we called the polling company today to ask them when we could be expecting the nevada polling results for the republican field. surely, they must have done that, too. they told us we can expect those results the 15ing of nevuary. they didn't conduct republican polling their client the washington free beacon with the website with the selling the tactical vests and the hillary clinton walkers, the free beacon they told us did not request a republican poll. they didn't want it. they only wanted democratic numbers, which is interesting. so why on earth would a far right conservative website have a republican firm hold nevada's democrats in a race seen as impossible to poll. they couldn't possibly be trying to influence that race, could they? they're trying to influence perceptions of that race. i don't know. but that's exactly what i'm going to ask nevada's best political reporter next. for the n

she let in new orleans, a democrat. in new -- sheila orleans, a democrat. caller: hello. my comment is that i have listened to bernie sanders since he started, and i never hear him really give a serious plan about things. he is always talking about going after wall street. het i did hear him say was was going to raise taxes on the middle class. someone asked him a question and he stated, yes, he was going to have to raise the taxes on the middle class. i like hillary. hillary was in there with her husband. she helped a lot of people. she did a lot of things. up does not have to stand there -- a lot of first ladies did not do that, but she did. she helped a lot of minorities, as well as all people. and i just find that they are using these e-mails against her right now because they do not want her in office. they do not want a woman in office, with for one thing. and it is not just because she .ights against them she does not let them run over her. my question is, why is it that the media only looks at certain things? we are looking at donald trump. donald trump is a real

>> well, you want to start with the -- >> democrats. >> we'll start with the democrats. what stands out to me is the independent voters, that david was just talking about. because sanders is grabbing a large chunk of those independent voters, almost 3-1? >> in iowa he won by 73%. >> and here it looks to be about the same. could be. about the same. >> we can't say for sure how they're voting. >> exactly. >> in terms of turnout, we're seeing a large number. >> we know he has a propensity to take a lot of the independent voters. the fact that so many of the voters are independent is great news for him. >> right. >> on the republican side, the fact that there's such an anti-establishment mood among the republicans. >> a lot of republicans feeling betrayed by the gop. >> about half of them. that is a real playground for donald trump. you know he's going to do well with those voters. the front-runners going in would look at these exit poll numbers and say there's a lot to feel good about right now. >> i think voters on both sides feel betrayed by the establishment to a degree.

the democrat side but the primary difference between the republican and the democrats is that there is not the same kind of element of suspense. yes at some point we had martin o'malley in the mix and we had willson who was here yesterday but every poll shows that it's a two person race for the democrats and 59 delegates at stake and they have been consistent at this point, secretary clinton is winning by a wide margin in support from the african american demographic. black voters make up 55% of the demographic and black women voters are likely to turn out here as previously like in all presidential cycles. clinton has a powerful hold on them, especially older african american women and while she got democrats flocked to obama, right now her opponent sounds nothing like him. clinton has scored endorsements from some of the most in influential black leaders. she is known for the black democrats and cliber would have backed her last year if not for the chance to back up the first black president. her popularity has never gone away. senator sanders has a well financed campaign here and

i see him as a true democrat is what a democrat, he typifies as what i think a democrat should be. >> and the socialist part doesn't scare you? >> no. we have socialism now. we have medicaid. we have medicare. those are socialistic programs. >> last june she went to see sanders speak. >> i met him at a campaign even and spoke about vietnam veterans getting the short end of the stick. caretakers get nothing and i didn't need to explain it to him. he knew exactly what i was talking about. >> that touched you? >> it touched my heart. he knew my experience. and how much more can you want of a candidate? >> and so, on tuesday february 9th, jetta car row added vote to the victory for bernie sanders over hillary clinton in new hampshire. >> never did i imagine that somebody like bernie sanders would come along and say i'll do this. >> you light up when you talk about him. >> i do. i know he will be the beginning of change so how could i not? how can i snot. >> for all the attention trump and sanders have been soaking up, there's another anti-establishment figure whose success has equally mys

weekend is the nevada democratic caucuses. thursday, c-span's road to the white house coverage continues with presidential candidate hillary clinton. she is speaking to voters at a caucus rally in east las vegas, hosted by a local labor union. that is live at 11:30 p.m. eastern on c-span. >> c-span's coverage of the presidential candidates continues this week with campaign events in south carolina and nevada. leading up to the south carolina gop primary and nevada democratic caucuses on saturday, every 20th. live coverage starts saturday, 7:30 p.m. eastern with candidates speeches and your reaction on c-span, c-span radio, and c-span.org. >> senator ted cruz spoke at a news conference in seneca south carolina, to address his ongoing legal feud with fellow republican president candidate donald trump. this is 35 minutes. donald's lawyer sent our campaign a cease-and-desist letter. this letter, i will say, having practiced law for many years, this letter is one of the most remarkable i have ever read. mr. trump's lawyers contend

if you're a democrat and you're a registered democrat or republican and you're a registered republican, then you have to vote in that primary. if you're an independent, and 40% of people registered to vote in the state are independents, you can choose to be a republican or democrat for a day, or as it were, a couple of minutes here. as for getting to the ballots, you cross to the voting booths. boom, two minutes later, you have voted. you walk out, come here, near the exit. you see a woman standing over by a podium. you fill out a little slip of paper, and just like that, you can turn yourself back into an independent. it's an interesting process in the state. it's certainly -- it promotes increased voting. and i can tell you that's one of the reasons why there's so much unpredictablity in the state of new hampshire for the primary. >> they can do it to thwart someone on the other side that they don't like. interesting when you think about the magic of it all. joe johns, keep an eye on it for us. appreciate it. new hampshire deputy secretary of state david scanlon is live with me on th

a record number of democrats turned out to vote in 2008. 240,000 democrats in iowa. this year in iowa, it was 172,000. in new hampshire in 2008, again, huge numbers. a record set on a democratic side. 288,000 people turned out on the democratic side in new hampshire. that year it was 288,000. this year it was 247,000. these numbers for democrat turn out this year are not bad numbers. they're not record breaking numbers. they are lower than the last competitive democratic contest in 2008. that is a particularly cold splash of water when you consider that the republicans in both iowa and new hampshire this year, they have had record turn out while the democrats have not. that's not good for democrats broadly looking ahead to the general election. that's not good for senator sanders who has not just been claiming that he can generate record voter turn out, he's put the claim at the very center of why and how he's running for president. why he could win and how he would govern if elected. if it's not true, if the record turn out isn't coming then the sanders campaign wil

to do but we turn first to the democratic deal. clinton andlary bernie sanders on the stump today. >> i want the people here in state to know what i think you saw in the debate again last night. only one candidate who is prepared to do all aspects of one.ob on day >> sanders, however, at the debate last night argued that more to the choice than that. concede thatully secretary clinton, who was fourtary of state for years, has more experience. that is not arguable. but experience is not the only point. judgment is. >> it was a different kind of debate, with only two contenders stage. and days after a whisker-thin hillary, the gloves came out. what does it tell us about the threats and opportunities that the sandersand folks are facing, reid? >> right now we're seeing a democratic party that is as divided and as evolving as the soublican party has been, explosively over the last couple of years. the reason is democratic sort ofn has been masked, i think, in recent years, is because they have one party inhead of the president obama. b

>>sabrina: and iowa democrats do some new caucus counting. after that our attention turns back to local. a statehouse rep straight ahead. (music) >>sabrina: thanks for joining us for this week in iowa. happy valentine's day everyone. i'm sabrina ahmed. >>amanda: happy valentine's down, plenty to go. iowa and new hampshire's first in the nation caucus, some primary are now in the books. and this is how it all shook out on tuesday. donald trump the winner of the night on the republican side with 35% of the vote. rounding out the top 5, john kasich followed by ted cruz, jeb sh, and marco rubio who all basically tied when it comes to the amount of delegates awarded. and then on the democratic side of things a much wider margin of victory for bernie sanders. he got 60% of the vote over clinton. >>sabrina: two completely different winners than what came out of iowa. on the republican side that was ted cruz, and a squeaker of a victory for hillary clinton in iowa, only a couple tenths of a percent. and that led actually, that lead, excuse me, actual

juan: democrats will also go to the polls on super tuesday am a but before that, the south carolina democratic primary takes place tomorrow. presidential candidates bernie sanders and hillary clinton have been campaigning in the state, and on wednesday, a black lives matter activist interrupted democratic presidential candidate clinton during a private fundraiser in charleston. during the event, ashley williams held a banner reading, "we have to bring them to heel" -- a reference to controversial statements clinton made in 1996 about some youth, whom she called, "super-predators." williams then confronted clinton, saying, "i am not a super predator." >> i'm not a predator. >> can i talk and then maybe you can listen to what i say? issues ina lot of this campaign -- >> i know you called black people super predators in 1994. please explain it to us. you owe black people an apology. [inaudible] >> if you'll give me a chance to talk. nobody has ever asked me before. you're the first person to ask me and i'm happy to address it, be your the first person to ask me. ok, back to the issues. juan: that

i think that the president, democrats feel as though they are on solid ground here. the president was not elected to a second three year term. he is the president of the united states through this year and on to january 20 of next year. it is his right and perhaps his responsibility as he put it on saturday to nominate someone. i think that you're going to crib to hear that and get traction if they stick with that reasoning and that logic. >> we're going to keep you around and take a quick break. we'll ask mike about 2016 politics, some of the most extensive views that the president offered about the democratic race between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. we'll play a little sound of what the president said, get mike's reaction. we'll continue after this. >> welcome back. this is video have president obama at a news conference that just wrapped up, offering some of his most intriguing remarks to date on the 2016 presidential campaign. he also spoke extensively about nominating someone to replace now deceased supreme court justice antonin scalia. the president was

>> why are democrats begging the republicans to come to the table? using twitter. >> i would never characterize us as being in the lead in countering this. trump challenge the status quo. rep. ryan: the way we hold the obama administration accountable is controlling their budget. fernando: house speaker paul ryan has an uphill battle on his hands. and it's not just a fight with the white house. it's a fight with fellow republicans who say the president's four trillion dollar budget is dead on arrival. congressman chris van hollen of maryland is the ranking democratic member of the house budget committee. congressman, welcome to the program rep. van hollen: it's great to be with you, thanks. fernando: thank you so much. the president has presented his budget. the majority in the house is saying they will not even have a hearing on it. does this play into the concept of dysfunction and immobility in our congress? rep. van hollen: this is a really sad episode here. we had hoped with the new year, who expressed an interest in more openness and debate, th
