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

first in the south -- the democratic primary. good morning and thanks for joining us for this wis special edition of saturday morning, i'm mary king. and i'm len kiese. 9:30 is the time -- and if you haven't already gotten out there yet, voting in the 2016 democratic presidential primary is well under way. polls will be open until 7pm tonight. that's when we'll see those election results start rolling in. on the ballot... former secretary of state hillary clinton. vermont senator bernie sanders. and -- chicago businessman wilson. he's a 3rd candidate on the ballot here in south carolina, but he's stll fighting to be recognized as a candidate in other states. we'll have more on his campaign ahead. nationally -- the battleground is officially set for the two top-polling candidates, clinton political experts and early polling numbers are predicting clinton will be the victor in south carolina's democratic race. likely south carolina democratic voters finds about 58-percent favor hillary clinton. 32-percent favor senator bernie sande

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

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

and that is 28% of iowa democrats. so a lot of iowa democrats are looking for the right experience. that is the split, though. you've got right experience versus honest and trustworthiness. you've got cares about people like me versus can win in november. it's the battle of the heart and the mind. and we see it's totally tied up. >> and anderson, that helps explain why it's a virtual dead heat right now. >> yeah. still is. let's look on the republican side. do you think for donald trump it was a mistake to pass on the last gop debate? >> excuse me. yeah, i think it was. the iowa voters are very fickle in the sense that they want you to make sure you that genuflect toward the caucus process. and also, 90% of politics is just showing up p p so when you don't show up and you don't genuflect toward the process i think those voters would tend to have a harsher judgment for candidates that don't do that. i think it would cost a lot of people. in a race where it's this close, second or third, it might have been enough to cost him that. >> it's interesting because the night of that debate t

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

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

both the democratic establishment. you have bernie sanders, somebody who describes himself as a democratic socialist. basically tying with the ultimate insider figure, hillary clinton, here in iowa. and on the republican side outsider candidates really winning the day in that contest. jeff zeleny is with the sanders campaign and has some news for us. jeff, a powerful speech for bernie sanders. what's next for him? >> jake, it was a powerful speech. of course he said that iowa started the revolution here. so he's going to take that energy on to new hampshire, where he's leading so much in the polls, has so much energy. but i'm told by a senior strategist to the sanders campaign that they do not expect a final result tonight. they have been told by iowa democratic party officials that there are 90 precincts across the state of iowa out of some 1,800 precincts that do not have a result. but never mind that. senator sanders said it's basically a tie, they will split the delegates and go to new hampshire. but jake, i can te

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 everyone says it is in the bag for the democrats. it is to some extent and how margin and how big can the latino electricorate be? >> we have the first in the west. it is relatively new there. are rumblings lately whether we're going to be able to keep that was your opinion? >> i think with harry reid exiting it makes it more difficult to have the key player on the democratic side. and the republican side. the last legislative session a bill to get rid of the caulkus and move to the primary in nevada for the selection and that brought to the fight between the establishment republican party and the tea party who thought it was a move to have input in the process here some that infighting we're seeing across the country. it doesn't really help the case. i think a lot will come down to how well do the caucuses come off in february and it will matter who ends up winning the white house. one side will not have much of a that may quell some of the discussion about reshaping the nomination process. >> does part of it turn out the tie down t

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

democrats that day. wendy gets to the location, registers as a democrat, puts on her blue democratic shirt. she heads onto caucus with the democratic party and nobody is the wiser. wendy just voted in the democratic caucus. that's tomorrow. that's the nevada democratic caucus tomorrow. now, scene change. the there we go. well done, my people. all right. it's now tuesday. tuesday february, 23rd. you're looking now at a republican caucus site in nevada. note all the changes. new signs, new sweater on nick and also glasses. very nice. republican voting roles in nevada closed more than a week ago. you can't show up and register same day like you could as a democrat. you see some of these previously registered in the red shirts sign in. they have been registered before february 13th. they head into their caucus. there's sneaky wendy again. she's a register republican. you can see her red sleeves. while she just registers at the democratic caucus three days ago, she's still on the republican voting roles. even

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

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

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 her 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

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 her 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

but the numbers are in from the iowa democratic party. the iowa democratic party chair... doctor andy mcguire released a statement on last night's historically close vote. in it, mcguire outlines that clinton has been awarded 7-hundred state delegate sanders has been awarded 695-state delegates. mcguire says.... "we still have outstanding results in one precinct, which is worth three state delegate equivalents. we'll report that final precinct when we've confirmed those results with the chair." of course....should sanders win the last precinct... it would still not be enough to edge out clinton.... but again... we're still waiting for those final votes to come in this morning. the race was so close last night... that democrats in some precincts had to flip coins to determine how to award an extra county delegate. it's a rare move... but a long-standing procedure. party rules call for a coin flip when support for candidates is even but a precinct has an odd number of delegates to award. clinton won coin tosses at precincts in davenport and des moines. meanwhile... iowa repu

southern democrats have one thing in common northern democrats don't. and interest to expand slavery. this is ominous. this shows the politics of the party through this political culture were becoming increasingly sectional. what year was the kansas nebraska act. ? -- act? >> 1854. prof. balcerski: what year is the civil war? 1865. prof. balcerski: that is when it ends. >> 1861. prof. balcerski: the kansas nebraska act is 1854. the civil war starts 18 61. that's only seven years away. becomes the civilh becomin war. what do you think of this example? go ahead. >> i think it's more politics. you have northerners battling for their views. if they all live in one house, that is how they got their job done. prof. balcerski: well said. the power of the domestic sphere and politics. other thoughts on that? remember these guys. the f street mess made quite a mess. what comes out of the f street mess, but comes out of this is my third category. affairs of honor. this is not to say that affairs of honor did not take place in the earlier time. because they did. t

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

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

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

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 democrats knew that position. when charily christ proposed cap and trade, i was the first person to speak out of it in a full op-ed in the miami herald. right after that there's even more. >> this gets at what sort of i think is the challenge for all of the candidates on both sides is you're basically saying, look, you got to sometimes govern with what you have, not with what you want. >> right. >> but the voters they want more than that. the voters seem angry. they're not satisfied with this idea that, you know, you're doing the you got to work with what you have in washington, not with what you want. >> you know, i don't think that's true. i think voters understand to solve problems it's going to take the ability to work with people you don't agree with on a bunch of other issues. i think people understand my higher education ideas, i think student loan debt in america is a huge problem. we're not going to have free college, but i think there's a bipartisan way to work on helping with student loan. that's why i

between a democrat hillary clinton and bernie sanders. >> what's the difference between being a democrat and being a republican. >> what is the biggest difference between being a democrat and a socialist. >> the relevant debate we'll be having is what is the difference between the democrat and republican. jenna: some are pointing to this and say this is why bernie sanders is doing well in iowa an won't do well in other states. when you have see the head of the dnc struggling to explain the difference, one has to understand what is the, wonder what is the state of the democratic party. >> i think that was not debbie wasserman-schultz's finest hour. socialists believe in big government solutions, tax the rich and soak corporations. democrats believe in a market economy that needs proper regulations and guidance and believes in the market to help solve the problems. the fundamental realities of the electric that show bernie sanders will do well in iowa and new hampshire. but 30% of democrats are not socialists. they tend to be more centrist and pragmatic. democrats want a progressive who ca

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

the democrats. as donald trump said in the art of the deal, he said that good publicist is better than bad publicist but bad publicity is better than no publicist at all. as long as they're explaining that we're trying to help the middle-class through making education more affordable and raising the wages for people who work for a living in america. that's good for the democrats. the problem is if this primary were over in a week or ten days, then the democrats sort of go dark until september and the republicans for better or worse will have all of the news cycle and even bad publicity is better than none >>> i know you call yourself a progressive now that o'malley left the race. why aren't you sanders? >> give me time to grieve would you. please. these are odd times. when you hear the republicans debate one another, what they say is, "i have no experience. i am the outsider", says marco rubio who has been in government his entire professional career ted cruz says "i am the outsider". except he has

it's a bit inside the democratic beltway. a lot of the mainstream viewers joining us for this debate tonight. couldn't be blamed with associating progressive with a nice woman named flo. the fight has been over the definition of who's a progressive. can you supply us some background? >> we have seen over the last 20 to 30 years both parties polarized. the republican party has drifted further to the right and the democratic party to the left. both have sorted in a kind of id i ideological candidate. we are seeing about who is truly progressive. that term was kind of reappropriated by people in the center left in the 1990s in the wake of what they say becoming too toxic to be marshalled. people started talking about progressivism. usually it means people on the left, general spectrum. the real question and it's a question that bernie sanders is pushing is, who gets to carry that label, that mantle. really what we're seeing is a fight over who is further to the left of whom between bernie sanders and hillary clinton and whether

the democratic caucus is on saturday february 20th. and the republican caucus follows on tuesday february 23rd. you'll get information in the mail on where you need to go. only registered republicans and democrats can caucus. republicans must register by this saturday if they want to take part. democrats have until the day of their caucus to on site. hillary clinton and bernie sanders will be in las vegas a few days early before the democratic caucus... to speak to local voters at a town hall event. the town hall is set for february 18th. a time and location hasn't been announced yet. democratic party officials say questions will focus on issues affecting nevada and the latino community. now fox5 weather 24..7. with chief meteorologist ted pretty we'll have mid-70s through the workweek with a slight drop in highs for the weekend. we expect a high of 74 on wednesday and that would match a high temperature record set in 2014. then 70 on sunday. highs stay around 70 degrees with a few more clouds as workweek on monday and tuesday. average

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

a lot of democratic supporters. i also think the hispanic community and i think african-americans have witnessed over the last seven years the most gratuitous, vile attacks on the president challenging his birth certificate, putting what i call barriers every day before his path, holding up his nominations and not even this week allow him to present his budget. i think black voters look at these candidates and say where are you in terms of president obama? and tonight hillary clinton made it clear she's going to stand with the president. and i think bernie sanders to his credit, because try to be fair and neutral, bernie sanders has also pointed out that he stood with the president on many issues. but this is a big issue, a big litmus test. >> you also said up thought or you hoped someone would talk about unions. hillary clinton definitely gave a nod to that in wisconsin and it played certainly very well in that room. >> absolutely. thank you, you know i'm going to read your book at some point. union democrats, espe

>> 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

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

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

it's another democrat. you'll have two democrats running and splitting their vote. look, he's been fighting and pounding away at republicans for how long now? you know, to take all the guns away. he wants a tax slurpees and sodas. the guy's a liberal democrat. so great. >> so what's your reaction to a possible bloomberg run? >> well, my reaction is the same that you and i have talked about several times on this topic. and that is that when michael bloomberg takes a very close look at the two cloiss that ultimately voters will have, he'll see that issues that he is concerned about and that he's fought for are really well cared for in the democratic party. look what's happened on the other side, wolf. you have donald trump, who has, you know, won the new hampshire primary. ted cruz who won the iowa primary, and you know, at the end of the day, the most extreme conservative out of touch candidates have been the front runners winning the most delegates in their party's primary. and so, clearly, when americans go and make their choice in the general election, i'm confid

democrats. my colleague bill has been watching the results and we'll update from him. >> susan, the results have been quickly given y by all reports it's been a very, very busy night across the state of iowa. take a quick look at the des moines register. has gone esults page down and may be a reflection of how busy things are. ago, 62.3% of 228.2% and at donald trump 42.9 and marco rubio 21.8%. to bring that map up. we have a similar map for democrats as well. here's a look at that. iowa democratic was 79% reporting let's look. on the y, very close democratic side. hillary clinton with 50.4%. bernie sanders 49% and for our iewers of radio i apologize this is a map that is quilt of red or maroon and gold here. if you take a quick look at a couple of those strong spots for clinton here in clinton ounty in eastern iowa, she is winning that precinct -- winning that county rather. and so they're nearly done on the democratic side. 79%&hillary clinton with 50.4% of the note and bernie sanders 49%. mar

i'm running for president as a democrat. if elected, not only do i hope to bring forth a major change in national priorities but 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 way that doesn't exist now. i want a 50-stage strategy so it's not just the party of 25 states. >> the person who first put out the idea of a 50-state party strategy is former governor howard dean who is with us tonight. >> that's right. >> i'm very proud and grateful to have the support of so many elected vermonters and former officials. two former governors, the current governor, the current other senator. i really appreciate that. i think it's because they've worked with me, they've seen what i do. they want me as their partner in the white house. that's exactly what i'll do. we'll get things together. democrats, republicans, inspe s independents, we're going to make progress together when i'm president. >> to this point, secretary clinton is raising the i

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.

>> why are democrats begging the republicans to come to the table? and, banning terrorists from using twitter. >> i would never characterize us as being in the lead in countering this. >> plus, how beyonce and donald 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 it' s a fight with fellow 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 rep. van hollen: it' 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, 2016, and with the new speaker who expressed an interest in more openness and debate, that we would see a different kind of
