mark: with all due respect to manhattan, staten island and brooklyn -- ♪ we are finally here at the top of the political world. welcome to hillary clinton's headquarters here in brooklyn heights. they have it all here. computers, telephones, partial wall dividers. they let us in to show us their system and that makes us a little nervous.

there are a lot of ways to raise money. hillary clinton raised a large sum of money, mostly from women. only 17% of the funds were from small grassroots donors. 76% of bernie sanders' donors were those grassroots folks. fewer than 100,000 of the 2.5 million addresses on her list. margaret: she is in a really strong position when it comes to classic core fundraising.

there are two kind of unproven territories. one is how she is going to play in the super pac world. especially compared to jeb bush. the other is on the small donor front. we see she is really good in terms of women fund-raising. small donors, you could even argue will be more important. mark: she needs to prove she can excite the grassroots the way sanders is. i think the super pac thing is the one that may be harder to solve because wealthy democrats don't feel threatened by this republican field and they don't believe in soft money. i think her numbers are perfectly good. she has raised a lot of hard money. she is going to have to figure out how to do the other two ends of the barbell. another way to slice and dice the numbers is geographically.

on the republican side, we looked very hard at the dollars raised by some of their leading candidates and found that ted cruz's money came from all across the country for a total of $14.3 million. that's a lot more than a lot of people thought. jeb bush taken 11.4 million dollars. a lot of his was concentrated in florida and the northeast. marco rubio has a very healthy presence in florida and does well here in the northeast. scattered support elsewhere although he took in less than both rubio -- bush and crews. -- cruz. margaret: the ted cruz numbers are fascinating. it says he has staying power into the primary season. it is a problem for bush. it validates what the concern is mark:. bush -- is.

mark: bush is a relationship candidate. his problem is that for a lot of people elsewhere in the country, he is a bush. he's either to establishment or too boring. it hurts with the hard dollars and the grassroots. margaret: with rubio i am going to be interested to see in terms of a hispanic pocket across the united date whether he is able to be drawing consistencies -- constituencies of support. mark: it's a very data oriented campaign. if huckabee santorum harry -- perry if cruz can become the grassroots donor winner, that

would be huge. his fundraising is the story of this quarter. is there anybody else out there who you think could have a stronger third quarter? margaret: rand paul. whether or not that materializes , we will have to think about that going forward. mark: another way to slice and dice the fund-raising disclosures is simply by what is interesting. we will now reveal our top three most interesting campaign expenditures in the federal election commission filings. special thanks to our callings -- colleagues for getting these things out. let's run them down. number three, jeb bush's campaign spent $1396 on it overrides. -- uber rides.

ted cruz spent money on to one 800 flowers.com. the number one most interesting thing we found in all the financial disclosure expenditure reports filed with the sec is donald trump's campaign spent $458 at mcdonald's. he raised about $92,000 from individual donors. he spent $63,000 or so on his own office and hotels. margaret: i love that he's spent so much of the money on his own hotels and off. -- and his staff. -- and stuff. mark: he said he doesn't need to spend money in advertising because he is getting so much news coverage.

george h w bush is in a hospital in maine where a spokesman says he is stable and in fair condition. we wish him a speedy recovery. coming up, we will start to introduce you to some of the members of team hillary in this building after this. ♪

mark: welcome back to brooklyn. we are here at hillary clinton's headquarters. we will not talk to two of her senior advisers about the campaign and the headquarters. joining us now amanda and marlene. not everybody who is watching knows you have a big title but

political director is a huge thing. tell us a little bit about your political background. amanda: i grew up in a small town. i ended up becoming the first person to see hillary clinton in the senate. i love the idea of a female president. this is the first presidential campaign i have worked on. margaret: so marlon, you worked for the president obama campaign. >> yes. we wanted to make sure we were always fighting for education. i got involved in campaigns, got

a chance to work for the secretary during her first run. mark: what is director of states? margaret: -- marlon: i have a support role. my job is to make sure people get what they need to run distinct state programs. we are building a volunteer infrastructure in iowa. we want to make sure we are successful in the primary. mark: one of the reasons we are excited to be here is because this headquarters hasn't been opened to the press very much but we were able to walk around all day. everybody seems to be in a good mood. even though it is a young campaign and a lot of people are just working for the first time the spirit seems pretty good. i wonder how you would characterize the egos of this -- ethos of this particular

campaign? amanda: it's interesting and creative. we are trying to push the envelope. i think what you see is really a creative energy. we are also working for a candidate who has worked for a long time on fighting the issues that a lot of folks here have cared about. you can feel that in the fight every day when people wake up. what do we do differently? how do we make it work? across the different organizations, we all work together, that's fun. marlon: we are very delivered about culture. -- deliberate about culture. that comes from hillary, making sure we have a good time and that we are all working together. you can feel it as you walk around. mark: there is a crazy emphasis on health food here. [laughter]

amanda: it's because we have pizza so much that seeing the healthy stuff makes you feel like you are learning something even if you aren't eating it. marlon: you walk around and see bananas but if you walk into my office you don't see that. amanda: i saw jalapeno chips in your office. mark: there are a ton of people here working on their first campaign. what is the thing you tell people about how to do this for the people who have never done this before? marlon: just being realistic about what you are getting into and make sure you are doing it for the right reasons. you have to dig into why someone would want to work here what values do they have, to those values match the values of the campaign and the candidate. everyone here feel that way.

they always remind themselves of their own personal story because that is the only thing that will keep you going every day. i call or text my mom every other day to tell her what's going on. she's the one that keeps me going. mark: you are not going to impress a lot of moms by saying that you text or every other day. what's one political rule you tell the younger people here? amanda: i say don't forget the wire here. and remember on this roller coaster, on the one hand, we are doing something really big for our country. on the other hand, don't forget to enjoy the moment every single day. after the campaign is over, a lot of people forget. there are moments on the campaign trail that will change people's lives forever.

remember the seriousness of what we are doing and also look around and breathe in. marlon: i met my wife on the campaign in 2004 of john kerry. be in the moment. margaret: talking about family and texting your mom i am curious to know a little bit more about your father and his role in terms of helping you in the way that you think about the campaigns. your father did emigrate from mexico in the 1960's. i'm wondering if immigration which has become a big issue in this campaign -- what impact do you think some of trump's remarks have had so far?

amanda: the impact on my life in general when you come from parents -- my dad was from mexico and my mom was from california but they both worked in the field. when you realize that somebody works so hard for you to have an opportunity in life, it is at your core. for me to be as blessed as i have been, it's never lost on me that there is some kid, whether it's my dad wanting to make a better life for somebody else or how to make my parents proud growing up. when you hear something like what trump said, it really gets at the core of what i believe this country is great for and why i am working on this campaign. what i said about it is that it used to be an honor to be a national political director because we are trying to hold -- build a country that is

welcoming for everyone. it has become more of a responsibility for me. i want everyone to feel like our campaign, the democratic party we are here and we welcome you and we give you honor and want you to succeed in life. my dad taught all of us girls how to punch. you can imagine. we are ready to fight. i think it's a little bit hurtful. i think my dad probably views it from our perspective and how we feel about growing up mexican. it has been interesting to see the reaction. i think they understand what i am doing and why it is important. mark: senator sanders is doing

pretty well. can he beat hillary clinton in either iowa, new hampshire, or both? marlo: i think we have the staff out there. they are building a fantastic organization. i think we are going to be successful in iowa and new hampshire. i think we are going to be successful and win the primary campaign. mark: as you go around the country you will see democrats and republicans, people like this who care about their candidates and their country and are working really hard. thank you both so much. we'll be right back with another look around this headquarters right after this. ♪

to start early? >> there is a lot of stuff to do and i do like to start early. mark: how late do you work? >> i tried to leave around 7:00 or 8:00. mark: what are you teaching the younger people about how politics work? >> i think it is a rollover so they are teaching me, just like the digital team. they are all in their early 20's. i just turned 35 about a week ago. it's a learning process. >> social media is my area of focus. facebook, twitter, instagram, linkedin. we are always expanding, writing content with new ideas to get

people involved. if you look right there i uploaded that to instagram as a precursor to a website i made with ideas that i had for the digital team whether it was social media or things they can do to raise money and get people involved. i sent that through twitter to a recruiter here. right away, he connected me with the digital team. about a week later, i was packing my bags to come to brooklyn. mark: why berries? >> i thought it was a beautiful way to make the logo. it was right before memorial day. my mom was making some pies. and i would like, before you make those, can i arrange them in the h logo outside?
