and it's why comcast spotlight is changing its name to effectv. because being effective means getting results. i won by 4 million votes. i won overwhelmingly in delegates. there was no question about who was going to be the nominee. but unfortunately, you know, his campaign and his principle supporters were just very difficult and really constantly not just attacking me but my supporters. we'd get to the convention, booing, michelle obama, john lewis. it was very distressing. [cheers and applause]

>> good evening! and welcome to this p.m. edition of "a.m. joy." i'm in des moines iowa, where in just two days we will get our first sense of which democratic candidate voters want to see go against donald trump. but the dems are still having aftershocks from the last presidential election. the latest sign that the party's fractures from 2016 have not even close to healed, started with those comments by hillary clinton about defeating bernie sanders in the 2016 primaries. and in an interview where she said nobody likes senator sanders, although china has clarified her comments and said she will vote for whoever the nominee is. that did not stop rashida tlab from hitting back. >> you remember last week when someone by the name of hillary

china sa clinton said -- we're classy here. we're not going to boo. >> no, boo! you know i can't be quiet. i'm going to boo. the haters will shut up on monday when we win. >> there we go. >> yikes, this morning. tlaib walked back her comments. she said she allowed the comments get the best of me. you all, my sisters in service and on stage and our movement deserve better. china statement nick merrill issued this statement, i can't imagine this kind of behavior as something iowans want to see from their candidates and i don't imagine the vast majority of voters in tlaib's district want to see this either. joining me now is msnbc contributor and co-founder of campaign zero.

charlie pierce, writer at large for "esquire." erin haines. and sherry moretis, thank you all for being here. i am going to go to you first, charlie as a neutral party here. it does feel like the 2016 primaries will never end. >> it really is time for the 2016 election to be over. this is reminding me of the episode where one guy was white on one side and black on the other side and the other guy was reversed. and they'd been fighting for 5,000 years over this. that's what this is. everybody just let it go, seriously. >> the thing is the fact that they can't let it go, that this rift in the party is still so raw for both hillary clinton supporters and obviously, the candidate, and for bernie sanders' supporters,

particularly he doesn't talk about it as much. they're taking basically two parties still at war. this is worse than 2008. >> what you are seeing is that this wound has been opened anew. you talk to the sanders campaign, they say look, hillary clinton drew first blood by bringing this back up again. this is not just bad blood lingering over from 2016. these are fresh comments coming out of a documentary. so yeah, you saw representative tlaib and the audience started that boo, and the moderator referred to hillary clinton as a hater. so yes, this rift is still very fresh for a lot of folks, and that, you know, could pour tend badly, especially if senator sanders is the nominee. hillary clinton will rally around him as she said she would in later comments, is that going to hold up once we get to a

general election should he be the nominee. >> it was reopened by the interviews, but if you are on social media at all it has never ended and the supporters of sanders had about the party and the feelings about the dnc never changed. from your point of view, how d that, i am an open fan of the squad. i think they're changing the party in a great way. but the fact that they have that feeling, how would they bring the party together? >> you are seeing an incredibly strong ground game. i think the campaign and what supporters in this state are really focussed on is this incredible momentum.

so these are somewhat of a distraction. what we're really excited about is that senator sanders is surging, and it's on a basic message. his consistent basic message. we need medicare for all. we have people crushed by medical debt. our minimum wage is $7.25. we are so caught up in this incredible ground game. you see it on social media. i'm on twitter, you know. i have a facebook page, but it isn't the kind of thing i'm gravitating to, because we have this ground swell of support. >> you're inside the camp. it's not a distraction to the campaign. there's mechanics, which you're talking about. there's also the message, the messaging of the campaign, the image of the campaign. and outside of people who are already inside sanders aworl' w

the campaign can feel hostile. if this senator, who is an independent, manages to become the standard bearer of the democratic party, he's never been a member of, but he is part of obviously the caucus. if he were to become the standard bearer, how does the k caustic part of the party, how does that attract the rest of the party to feel loyalty to him? >> take for example, i live on the east side of des moines. that's working class. my neighbors are fired up for bernie. >> i mean people who are not. we did a poll behind us. there are a lot of people behind us who like biden, klobuchar or other people. if their candidate doesn't get the nomination, sanders is still going to want them to vote for him. >> his message resonates across

the board. every day people are hurting. this is a rigged economic system crushing people of debt, students crushed with debt. immigration reform that we need desperately. we still have somebody in the white house that is, you know, separating women and children. >> i think all that's true. let me get brittany in here and see what you fwthink about this. social media's not the real world. social media's just social media, but if is part of imaging. there is a bend the knee aspect of the pitch such as it were, to all the other voters. does that work with all the other voters? >> well, first of all, happy plaq black history month, joy. january was a long year, and we made it. this calculus of alienation is frankly quite confusing to me. look, i'm an activist.

so i believe in conflict as long as the conflict is productive. i have great respect for the congresswoman. she knew that that wasn't productive conflict. frankly, i endorsed secretary clinton. there's a way for us to have legitimate disagreements that is restorative and doesn't run the risk of leaving people out and getting people to stay home when it really matters. so i don't think this is the smartest move at all. and i think ultimately, this campaign has to decide if it's going to be a light in the darkness or if it's going to get caught in the same kind of nastiness that we see on the other, in the other party. >> i was up last night, and up until that moment it was a great

moment. i ilhan omar told about seeing movies in the refugee camp when they were trying to get acclimated. and they were all this "leave it to beaver" movies about america. and she talked about getting off the plane and saying this isn't the america that you promised me, dad. and her father said something to the effect of, well, we're going to get to the america. i promise you. i thought that was brilliant, and five minutes later this thing happened and it demolished the mood. and i thought politically it was christmas day yesterday for the bernie campaign because of the bloomberg being allowed into the debate. that is right down the wheel house. and again, it got sidetracked because of the hillary/bernie thing. >> what we are talking about, the candidates as they are making this final push going into the weekend, we've been talking so much about electability and the candidates'

electability. but you hear the candidates really talking about a message of unity. multiple candidates talking about unifying, not just setting that tone coming out of iowa, but through this nomination process and headed to the general election. as much as what the candidates are going to do, what these voters are going to do coming out of this primary is a real question raised by this rift. >> and you want to get beyond this, but let me play jennifer palmieri. and then i want to play what michael moore said. >> part of the problem for ch a clinton was we had every day, 17 people attacking her, two democrats and 16 republicans. so when you got to the general election, there are a lot of senator sanders supporters that were just never going to come

her way. it is really crorrosive. and when donald trump and others are making the same comment it sticks. >> let's hear michael moore. >> people were already booing hillary before rashida said anything. because that's the level of anger amongst people who want to win. hillary's comments about bernie, nobody likes them, can't win. that's, that only exists to help donald trump. maybe hillary doesn't know that. but it was divisive, it was cruel, and it was a lie. >> sherry, here are the numbers. biden and sanders are really neck and neck. right now the latest monmouth poll, biden 23, sanders 21,

buttigieg 16, warren 15 and down from there. anybody could become the nominee. would you be prepared to fully support joe biden as the nominee? >> if he gets the nomination. but, you know, i think this is all reaction to bernie's strength right now. i mean, this is a reaction from the dnc because of bernie's strength. >> what does the dnc have to do? >> when they allow another candidate in people make a big deal about it. >> you mean bloomberg. >> yeah. they're going to make a big deal about an argument or somebody booing. that is just a reaction to bernie's ground swell of support. and it's growing every day. i just left my neighborhood, and i had a bernie knocker, and i already had a bernie sign, you know, in my lawn. they're checking the list, and they're checking it twice. i'm here to tell you. all this stuff really tonigdoes matter. because we know the bernie surge

is real, because he's authentic, consistent, and because he's going to win. >> what if he doesn't? what then? do you believe your friends who are part of, you know, the world of bernie sanders supporters will move on then to general election nominee and be enthusiastic supporters, no matter who it is? >> i can only speak for myself. here's the thing. i will support the democratic nomination because anything's better than what's going on in washington, d.c. we're not focussed on that, because we know right now that bernie is ahead. bernie is ahead, you know, and bernie's going to show up big and strong in the caucuses, and we're going to win this caucus. >> let's round this out. we don't want it to be a candidate just about these two. brittany, as you're talking to people around the world, is this what you're hearing that this is a bernie/biden, two-person race or broader than that? elizabeth warren has had big events. there's buttigieg support, other people, do you get the sense

that anyone else, bloomberg, anybody else has momentum? >> i think it's much bigger than that. polls were telling us one thing in 2016 and we got a very different result. ultima ultimately we won't know who people like until they head into the ballot box. mostly there is energy around saying thank you, next to 2016. we know what happens when people of good conscience who want the same result end up fighting with each other. it leaves a gaping hole for right wing racists to walk through. folks are not trying to relitigate 2016 or repeat 2016. we haven't figured out how to make sure everybody's vote counts when they come to the ballot box in 2020. let's get our priorities together and make sure every voice is heard in this election. >> erin, your news organization is really focussing on what women care about. >> mm-hm.

>> what are you hearing back as you are talking to people out there on the campaign trail? what are women telling you that they want to see happen? >> women are very concerned about who they feel is going to be the best candidate to beat president trump. >> do they care whether it's a woman? >> no. i mean, not necessarily. but that is not to say that they are, they are very adamant, the women i'm talking to, that a woman can win. but there are certainly some that have some concerns about that. >> yeah. >> and so that is the electability argument that you've heard from amy klobuchar and senator warren who has an ad out saying she can win, trying to reassure those women who may like candidates like warren or cho klobuchar but need convincing on the lengthbilielectability argu. but their top priority seems to be beating this president. >> the influence of bloomberg, what impact do you think's

having on all this. >> i don't think it's having any impact here except for antis pa tory dread. what will the iowa caucus mean when he is really in the race instead of a tv commercial? the overwhelming feeling i get on all the other issues is dread. uncertainty. what's going to happen next with my health care? what's the next lunacy to come down the pipe? what's the next bunch of e-mails going to show about who he's selling the country to? nobody's got their feet under them right now. and i think you're going to wind up because of that seeing a lot of people throwing punches in the dark because it makes them feel safe. >> the thing about this is the opposite of 2008 in that in 2008 when out on the campaign trail, there was excitement and anticipation and people believed they were going to win. all i hear around this country right now is dread right now,

dread and fear. thank you for being here. thank you so much for being here. brittany, thank you, of charlie pierce and erin haynes stick around. up next, the political sage who predict predicted 2017's big blue wave tells us what to expect. t to exp smoking at first and ease into quitting so when the day arrives, you'll be more ready to kiss cigarettes goodbye. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. stop chantix and get help right away if you have changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts or actions, seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking, or life-threatening allergic and skin reactions. decrease alcohol use. use caution driving or operating machinery. tell your doctor if you've had mental health problems. the most common side effect is nausea. talk to your doctor about chantix.

joining me now to read the tea leaves, an election whisperer who called the 2018 elections months before voters went to the polls. with the wassen center for public policy. i can't take it anymore. i have high anxiety. i'm drinking all this coffee, this caffeine is really bad for me. i need to know who's going to win the iowa caucuses. i need to know now. >> it's one of the hardest things to predict, and especially this cycle. one of the things i've been anticipating for many months now, i let my 2020 forecast out in july, but i have been long anticipating to see the turnout in iowa, because i'm expecting historic turnout, something that exceeds the really high turnout of 2008's cycle, and because of that. >> mm-hm. >> and i am pretty sure that's what we'll see. we really, it's very hard to anticipate what's going to happen.

because we're going to be looking at a very different electorate than what we're used to in that iowa caucus electorate. >> let me go through the polls at this point. i'm not sure how meaningful they are at this point. but you have the iowa monmouth university poll that shows joe biden a skosh ahead. and amy klobuchar, those are the only people in double digits. then tom steyer. then you have the monmouth university poll, which is what's the most important to likely caucus goers. they're firmly decided, open to changing their top choice, don't know or no first choice. only 47% say they are firmly decided on who they're going to pick. so a lot of people are open to changing. then we go to the poll with bernie sanders on top of that one by one percentage point, literally the margin of error, then they go down, joe biden, elizabeth warren, mike bloomberg

is fourth. then we go to the nbc "wall street journal" poll, priorities in choosing a candidate. best chance to beat donald trump overwhelmingly is what people care about. proposes large scale policy changes. will continue president obama's policies and agendas, is there a way with all of this data to figure out that it's the priorities people care about the most, if your priority is beating donald trump you're just a pundit. how does anyone decide who to vote for? >> especially when you consider this. if you ask a bernie sanders supporter, they're going to tell you a sanders type candidate, a warren candidate, that's kind of candidate that has the best chance of beating trump. and on the other side, you're going to hear that it's a biden type, maybe a buttigieg or klobuchar type, somebody who might be more attractive to those more moderate voters.

that is more electable. so electability is in the eyes of the voter. you have to keep that in mind. everyone wants to beat trump. but everyone solves that equation quite differently. and usually depending on what their own preferences are. one other thing i would say about the polling. we do know that it is basically a statistical tie. that has been a very reliable conclusion from all of the reliable quality polls. we're going to get our final se seltzer poll. maybe biden will be a little ahead or maybe sanders will be a little ahead, but what we're going to see is that 50% undecided vote going in. we've got one of the wonderful, i'm so excited to be on-site tomorrow night at the iowa caucus to watch the, you know, the first quorum happen and then the realignment process, but i

think that realignment process is going to be extremely crucial this time. it always is. but think about the fact that we have these six or seven candidates that have been polling a pretty good chunk of people, right? and we know that four of them are probably not going to make the 50% quorum, and they are going to have to go somewhere else, and the rules change this year has put an additional amount of intensity and pressure on them to realine quickly to somebody else, right? that first ballot they have to change and lock in. and that's why i think you see the sanders campaign pushing back with rashida tlaib today putting out the apology. nobody wants to make that last-minute mistake that pushes the undecided, unaligned voters away from your coalition. you combine that with a new electorate, more moderate type people, you know, when you have a high turnout primary or caucus, you're getting

let-committed partisans than you normally have, which are usually the more ideologically-driven people who participate in primaries, and this one could be a little different. so we really don't know what's going to happen. and my advice to all the campaigns and surrogates out there is to keep your expectations low, and that way you'll always beat'em. >> there you go. i have a question. i want to let you in on some of the things we're constantly talking about. what happens if it's a split decision? let's say the same person wince iowa, new hampshire, and a different person wins nevada and a different person wins south carolina. is there anything in the statistical sort of probabilities that says that if it's muddle going into super tuesday, does that make the ultimate nominee weaker? or can a nominee that comes out of a very muddled process, do they still have the same chance of ultimately beating the incumbent president? >> yeah, so, in terms of the general election, i think, like

that is set in stone, i think the democrat has an advantage in that general lebelection, even it's a sanders type candidate. but where we do run into trouble with your hypothetical is if we have, you know, say sanders wins iowa and new hampshire, he's not going to get a lot of momentum from those victories, they're expected and also new hampshire's like a home state contest, then we get to nevada and south carolina and biden starts picking up steam, there is a strong potential we're going to go through super tuesday and see multiple candidates clearing that 15% delegate threshold, picking up delegates, and that is extraordinarily unusual for these primaries. usually you come into super tuesday. it's two, maybe a third distant pulling delegates, and it is, there's just a really strong potential this time around to see four or even perhaps five,

because of bloomberg, candidates, you know, viable at that point. and that would be, you know, frankly speaking, an abject disaster for the democrats and certainly not something that they should covet happening. another potential thing i'd put on people's radar is that we come out with a biden/sanders like head to head coming out of south carolina and super tuesday and then bloomberg, who kind of put help self into the race as a safety valve in case sanders beat biden. has actually put himself in a position where he may very well cause the very thing that he says he's trying to prevent. he is, you know, really, his strategy has exceeded, i think, his expectations but certainly not mine. i knew name identification and advertising is extremely powerful in the electorate. and bloomberg's hitting that 10% mark. if he keeps going, there is a potential that we're going to see the moderate vote with two

well-financed campaigns, a lot of money in advertising and sanders, right, going down that final stretch, and that would be, you know, for sanders, a great thing, because it would give him all of that progressive wing to himself, but for the moderate wing of the party, it would be a disaster. >> oh, my god. and then, if bloomberg were to win that, what happens with the sanders vote then if it's bloomberg? it's not even biden. okay. now i have a headache. rachel, thank you very much. always appreciate you. and i'll see you in iowa. you're heading this way, thank you very much. and up next, why michael bloomberg, who we just mention thmentioned is at the center of a new controversy engulfing the dnc. f controversy engulfing the dnc.

when i left than it was when i got there. [cheers and applause] >> while democratic candidates are making final pitches in iowa, one 2020 contender is noticeably absent, and that is former new york city mayor michael bloomberg. he is skipping all four early voting states to focus on super tuesday and using his huge personal fortune to saturate the air waves. michael bloomberg at down with my friend and pal, the reverend al sharpton and president of the national action network. big brother al sharpton, thank you for being here. >> good to be with you always, joy. >> you ran for president, so you are familiar with this whole process. what did you make of, and did you ask michael bloomberg about the fact that he's skipping the

traditional route to get to the nomination? >> i did ask him about that. the interview was before the rules was changed, so we didn't talk about that. but he did explain that his strategy was that he came in late, he couldn't get his campaign up in time for the four states, so he's coming in on super tuesday because of that. many are raising the issue of he and styieyer coming in with big money, and certainly, that is an issue he's got to deal with, and i think steyer is also going to have to deal with it. bloomberg said he would put big money whoever the eventual nominee was if he was not the nominee, and i also asked him point blank would he do that if he ended up with the nominee being bernie sanders, who has been really the opposite of him on many of the issues, and he,

for the first time i know said to me yes, although he does not like to say he would support whoever wins. he feels donald trump is so bad he would support bernie sanders. which i thought was interesting. >> yeah, that's actually news, because there are a lot of people who believe he got into the race as a stop-sanders candidate. that's interesting. rules changed before, and the dnc overhauling the debate rules which would allow bloomberg, who's self-financing, to come in. a lot of the controversy over that is because michael bloomberg is not just a republican turned independent turned democrat. he's also a big donor. michael bloomberg, i don't have it, but he's donated like $800,000 i think is the estimate in the last cycle to give to the democratic national committee.

did he respond to you on this occasion of his influence with the dnc as a donor and whether he has an unfair advantage because he's such a big donor? >> no, he didn't, i think the donor issue he's going to have to address, particularly since after our interview, two or three days later that came out with the donor point, but i also think that what is interesting here is they raised the bar in terms of polling. and i think it's four states you have to have 10% or you have to have a delegate out of new hampshire or iowa. where you have to have 15% to get to that. so really, it's the polling question that is going to determine their new level of, of where the bar is to be in the debates, and that's not going to be up to what happens with the dnc. that's going to be up to voters, even new hampshire, iowa or in

the national polls, and we will see where they are. i do not know whether all of them will be able to reach that 10% mark or more or if they end up getting a delegate, because they will have to get at least 15% of the vote in iowa to even get one delegate. >> right, yeah. and the poll, on that polling question, michael bloomberg is actually doing surprisingly well, for somebody who hasn't been in the process that long. 2020 democratic primary, this is the nbc news national poll, bloomberg is already at 9%. he's above buttigieg, but he's still up now in the top five. if you look at national polls of black voters, and we'll put that up. he's even polling in the, you know, not that far down. biden first then sanders, then warren, yang, bloomberg. he's ahead of steyer, gabbard and klobuchar.

black people, the beef they've had with him when he was mayor of new york city, how does he expect to deal with black voters if in fact he is somehow the nominee? >> well, as you know, i was one of those that fought him over stop and frisk, led marches and other rallies against him and other groups we definitely fought on that. he has said before he entered the race about a week before, he apologized for that. he regretted it, and i said it's going to take more than one speech to wipe out the effects of stop and frisk, which we still are dealing with. but at the same time, we're going to raise the same issues of the crime bill with joe biden and bernie sanders voted for it. so i think all of the candidates are going to have to deal with what they bring to the table in their background that can be questioned by black voters, or for that matter all voters. and we're going to have to decide what we believe to be so or not. but i think that we can't give any of them a ride just because

they're running, but at the same time, when they're running against donald trump, a lot of us are saying, at the end of the day, are you going to throw your weight behind whoever the nominee s even if the voters and all of us may favor another nominee who may not have the same kinds of questions that we raise about their candidacy. can.

$188 million i hear it a lot because as you know i do a daily radio talk show and i get a lot of feedback. and you are hearing that. but i think that we also must realize money is one thing. the way donald trump is going to be defeated as if there is the

galvanizing of voters to come out and if we fight voter suppression and we fight the gerrymandering. but more importantly in a presidential race how they're purging voters. 300,000 voters purged in georgia. we're seeing the same attempts in north carolina and other places. the question is not who can buy the most ads. the question is how you drive out the most amount of people and protect their right to vote because if you get them out and they're purged from the roles, they can't vote. and i think we need to see much more focus on the fact that there is a concerted effort by the right wing to purge voters and to get them off the books to move voting sites like they did in georgia which i think cost stacy abrams from being the governor. we need to deal with those fundamentals. the people movement from the ground isls needed but the peop must have their right to vote protected so they can vote in november. >> and i in your interview with

michael i bloomberg, did he indicate that that's something he's willing to spend money or that he is spending money on? >> he says he's going to spend money regardless of whether he's a nominee and a lot of it will have to be for voter protection. he's talked about that. we'll see what happens when we see what the nominee is. that's what he said. i think we ought to raise the same thing to steyer who is a billionaire and to every other one that is running. at the end of the day, everythingf that we have fough for in the civil rights movement even before i was involved -- and i've been involved since i was a teenager -- is at stake in november. and we've got to really play this hand that has been dealt with us particularly by the u.s. senate now like we know that blacks and latinos and women reallyat have a real stake in wt happens to the future of this country because donald trump has made no bones about he is going
