enough. this is the moment. expe the 2020 election. my own inititakeaway, iowa and expectancy is going up, the party that built everything hampshire muddled, michael everything is going up. to defeat president trump. this is the first step and botched it. bloomberg. too early to say but you begin yes, talk about the national we're in the 10th year of the anthem again, we will. to wonld sir thder is that the but you've handed the republicans a clutch hold. >> couldn't have been a better obama recovery. he has a lot of good news to can't trust this party to run a night for bloomberg. talk about and work with. caucus, suggest fraud, >> big night for bloomberg. he has a democratic front runner corruption and also incompetence >> if the democratic party that appears to be a socialist. and that's what they're doing. >> people will be talking about wanted to get people organized, it appears that bernie is going the national anthem, because you inspired ready to go, this was can't trust the president of the an unmitigated disaster that united states to show respect to the flag. to come out of these first few i think a lot of people would depresses a ton of voters and find that to be a little more saps confidence and the ability contests looking like a front of the party to organize the searing. >> disturbing. runner. >> and disturbing, but, willie, stuff. two things for the candidates up can bernie sanders actually win top too. think about it. one, bernie supporters will feel in november against donald trump. you had mayor pete. >> i don't know if he would be like this was rigged this was going to be his moment. essentially. favored especially with the and dave wasserman is coming up >> yeah. and make a lot of noise. economy looking the best it is next block. >> and irresponsible and, two, it looked as the night went on right now. but yeah, i mean trump has been like mayor pete may be the guy if mayor pete did in fact win. moving out front and he was there's no indication yet. weak. sanders has been leading him in going have the headline that he won in iowa, which could propel michigan consistently in the we have noiad of the results. that's a historic moment. state head to head polls. him to new hampshire and who you were losing this. i think that just given the knows, propel him to do well first openly gay candidate to unusual popularity of this

super tuesday. win a nominating process and and then bernie, thought this doesn't get that chance to president that any democratic would be his state as well. and on the other side of it we actually celebrate that moment, nor do we? nominee at least has a shot heard a lot of negative reports against him. that's something we shouldn't about joe biden. lose sight of. what a disaster. >> but jonathan, if bernie makes we don't know. of course, they don't know how >> terrible. >> first mayor from south to record votes and report them it to the general election, we in iowa, but we heard he might bend -- >> that's big, too. >> i thought about that, but, be doing better in the country, read the op-ed from new york really -- >> valid point. in the rural districts, but say >> jonathan lemire -- really magazine about bernie sanders he didn't. let's say he got in fourth and his past. valid point -- jonathan lemire, it is a varied -- it is a varied place. or maybe even fifth place. i mean -- it always goes back to the other candidates would say, okay, he deserves to be knocked "star wars." around by that. >> no, please. why? >> there's one. past. not going to get knocked around. >> i'm in. and it was a progressive very >> let's do it. >> you've got the death star in can't get punched. if i'm joe biden i'm going to front of you. well known columnist talking say the whole process was and you're staring at the death rigged. these people don't know how to star for three and a half years. about him paddling around with run an election. guess what? our first election in new soviet leaders and really right? hampshire next week. >> okay. >> and you're like, okay. we're going to get luke and han radical positions he has >> yep. throw out the raumt esult in io. taken -- >> i think they said he would be and we're going to go blow that can't trust. one she's completely different the worst nominee in thing up. result from one poll to another. and luke and han get up and it's >> you can't have campaign data like that. >> not surprising. like, whoo -- and princess leia you mentioned it. generations. saying he would be a disaster the state party went out of its way to say this was not the app. for democrats. nothing's wrong with the app. and the wookie and may the force this is not someone that can win

volunteers on the record inside be with you and, boom, crash in the general nebecause he is t these churches and high schools who said the app didn't work. into each other. don't even get off the ship. >> oh, my god. >> and volunteers on the phone this is a fight -- i'm joking -- of step. two hours trying to get on to bernie sanders did win in the hot line to explain why the and most importantly nobody in democratic primaries in places process wasn't working angd tv land is laughing, but this is couldn't get through because the an incredibly critical moment like michigan and wisconsin. he might have an appeal in some lines were so overloaded. for the democratic party and i i mean, it's a quaint process would say, as somebody who's not of the rust belt states that flip for president trump last that everyone enjoyed for a long time because it speaks to a democrat, for our time. there is certainly a white watching democracy in action. house, this is the candidate constitutional republic. >> quaint? and the democrats have had three time to get rid of it. they want. >> when watching our coverage and we see it not just years to get ready for this, and necessarily from the campaign last night and elections for the they got a bunch of candidates presidency are determined by but the president himself. the process is being rigged coin tosses, and people, that run in the first contest and they don't even get off the against bernie. someone's offering to buy you're trying to steer the launch pad. somebody dinner if he comes and blows up on the launch pad. democrats that way because they votes over here, it's quaint, this is a disaster for feel like she is too far left. that's a polite word at this democrats. point. we can't go on like this. they've got to figure out how to fix quickly. >> so the millennial falcon and >> for every worker that they >> what about a separate ballot? pick up, how many people in the some of these small towns you luke's x wing run into each don't want to be seen. other all the way to the death suburbs did he lose, in for instance, the republican star. yeah. caucus. >> yes. charlotte, in tampa, in orlando, sure donald trump would the have >> an appropriate analogy. won 95%. >> see, mika? say somebody in a small town, a see? >> it worked. small town pharmacist wanted to >> lemire, you're a suck-up. and in atlanta. >> this is why he is going out register a protest vet against keep going. >> i like "star wars." of his way to promote bernie donald trump. just -- you couldn't do that, do rankings of the movies later.

she couldn't do that, because certainly, it's such a she is not going to sit alone in self-inflicted wound here. and this is, to underscore the sanders. what are the odds that trump the corner over there and risk point, this has been three-plus years in the making. says what happened in iowa is upsetting everybody inside that small town. democrats since the moment of >> this is when it works. november 8, 2016 when donald very bad. he sees that for every person he >> this doesn't work. trump scored his shocking >> a small town they have to live in after the election. victory democrats said all that matters this can't happen again. >> yes! >> a secret ballot, paper all that matters, marshal might lose. ballot, all of that is important, but as we raise these forces, organize, raise money, >> all right, thank you both for set up a process to beat him. questions, of voter suppression being here this morning. to not let him be re-elected and >> thank you, guys, appreciate and voting suppression and all, now as the starting gun goes off it. still ahead on "morning joe." they stumble out of the box. start the first votes for this iowa, you have shocked the and the results are going to be season in terms of a democratic questioned even when they do primary with this kind of nation. that is for sure if is the catastrophe is devastating for come out later today. all of us, particularly those to sam's point. morning after the iowa caucuses everyone at the table. bernie sanders and pete and we still don't know who won, that consider the right and use buttigieg deprived of a bounce. of the vote to be sacred. should be noted. it's devastating. this would be a historic win for but pete boouttigieg is declari >> as the morning goes on i the former mayor if he were to think we'll be able to get our actually grab this. also sort of gives joe biden arms around this. still ahead on "morning joe," breathing space here where he victory.

suspicion -- >> the trump campaign, already overperforming. we know absolutely nothing. and, of course, that's not that put out a tweet where they different, but the rest of the world knows absolutely nothing suggested the process was rigged this morning either about and now they will say the entire american politics. process by which this nominee is so let's talk about new chosen is rigged because of what hampshire. because -- >> okay. >> what the hell's there to talk happened last night in iowa. about in iowa? >> first of all, that is pure >> not much. you heard joe biden say it's on to new hampshire one week away from that primary. senator bernie sanders leads the democratic presidential field insanity. there. according to the latest boston they should probably keep their globe, wbz-tv poll sanders at mouths shut until they put the president of the united states 24%. six points ahead of former vice president joe biden who has 18. in a room and teach him how to elizabeth warren 13. essentially tied with mayor pete at 11, both candidates sit with act. the poll's margin of error. >> and not good news for like fake conducting, thinking elizabeth warren. good news for bernie, of course, that was a time to point fingers also, joe biden at this point, at people. he'll take a place. why don't you worry about the

he'll take a show. president showing disrespect to you know what? just don't keep me in the barn. the national anthem, showing >> it's good for joe biden disrespect to the american flag, particularly when there's going to be questions about iowa. showing disrespect to america. >> yeah. >> if he comes in second in new back to iowa. >> and that was posted on hampshire, a neighboring state instagram appearing to show the to bernie sanders vermont, president doing all of that. that's good for him. the challenge coming out of the iowa debacle is now can pete consolidate latino votes in it is not just about democrat nevada and the black vote in bathrooms, it is about paper south carolina where he's been having problems. that's where people are going to ballots. people with their crappy little have to watch now. and can we see bernie deal with black votes in south carolina? apps. mitt romney said i have the best >> right. app in the world, he kept saying >> so i think coming out of iowa, if everything remains the way it looks, sanders wins, but i have the best app in the world buttigieg gets a big boost or and it crashed two minutes in. we have to have paper ballots reverse, they've got to prove an expanded field and what they everywhere. you want to rig a process, make ought to think about this sure there is no paper involved. morning, and iowa will hurt candidates, if you're bernie, you needed that win last night. you needed the headline. >> no question what people need to vaelz that the people in iowa >> clarity. >> you needed to send a message to the south carolina older black voters.

>> that's right. >> i can win an election, same with mayor pete who desperately disenfranchise. they came out and said weeks, needs momentum in south carolina. again, taken away from them last some of them. night. another winner last night, it will almost not matter. michael bloomberg. >> in a big way. it will be under a cloud now. >> another poll come out. what about the people of iowa. "morning consult" poll comes i also think it will be the last out. look in bloomberg, third place, iowa caucus. now all of a sudden everybody 14% tied with elizabeth warren, will say move it out of iowa. up two and, dave -- i haven't i have to say this, you to go back to that trump mocking the national anthem. for those of us that stood by had your take on michael bloomberg. yesterday heard a lot of people the right of kaepernick to take on tv when it looked like bernie a need, he did not mock the national anthem. would sweep the first three this was a mockery. states and saying, okay. maybe the democratic this was like it was composed establishment will throw all of its weight behind bloomberg to for me, and i think it was stop sanders from sweeping to the nomination. think that's a possibility? unpatriotic for him to act like >> i think that's a little this was a kopgs suggestion. crazy, and i'm a bit more >> and for him to criticize skeptical than you are, joe, when it comes to bloomberg. kaepernick and to do that shows 15%. the number that will be really the ultimate hypocrisy. important for here on howe out.

>> any republican senators that the minimum you need in each need any more evidence about this president need to look at caucus and primary. keep in mind, 90% are primaries this video. unfit. give me your report from iowa. to be eligible to win delegates. >> the numbers keep going on. >> what happened last night was not a surprise from political he was at 3%, 5%, 9%, 14%. >> you ang 9%, 10% higher than i reporters. but in 2012 we're on the ground would have expected him to be at in iowa when rick santorum this point. the problem, the only two candidates virtually assured of seemed to lose the iowa caucuses, then he seemed to have being at at least 15% everywhere are joe biden and bernie won. complications in 2016 about sanders. they have a geographic breadth of support that is important whether or not senator sanders when it comes to this nominating or secretary clinton won. process and the rules on the this is the third straight democratic side. the problem i see for bloomberg cycle. we have seen questions about and to an extent buttigieg and warren, their support is likely to be concentrated among whites ohio. with college degrees, nobody dropped out of this race. geographically clustered in this country. that means they could fall short of that threshold on their do we know when they're going to get on the results -- current trajectories in a lot of >> have they lost them? congressional districts. what is going on? >> jonathan lemire, talk about >> does anyone know what actually happened? bloomberg, latest poll has him up to 14% nationally. >> we have vaughn hilliard and

how does last night impact him? get the latest in democrat. >> they'll lean into this idea suggesting they're the moderate alternative. the iowa democratic party says if these results sort of hold and joe biden does put up a their manual validating all of disappointing fourth-place the results. finish, that's certainly they say they took pains to say something that mayor bloomberg this was not election and his team will try to interference as we have come to emphasize. look, he's wounded. understand it. what are you hearing from the we're the best alternative to democratic party this morning donald trump. pete buttigieg, and why last about what happened last night. night hurts mayor pete buttigieg so much. >> that's the issue, you're not he could have come out with a hearing anything from the iowa headline, if he's won a strong democratic party last night. second, he could make that at 2:00 a.m. eastern. attempt to coalesce modern there was a press call that democratic voters say, look, i'm your alternative. lasted 74 seconds. you don't need to turn your eyes there was no opportunity to ask to bloomberg, a billionaire, questions. used to be a republican, maybe there is little that we know. out of step with parts of the democratic party. another candidate, it's just bad 1678 presipcincts around this throughout. joe biden here may be in some ways the luckiest guy here, as state. i was with a couple county chair pointed out, he can suggest results of invalid, say you folks and they were just shouldn't trust these. move on to new hampshire. baffled. they were acknowledging what i'll do better there. this means for iowa and the part if he'd come out with fourth or about this, what you guys and fifth, what we're talking about right now, that's a tough blow

what reverend al just mentioned for him and potentially will was everything that went into slow down his fund-raising, and issue throughout his campaign this moment. for the last year hundreds of and he needs a war chest for staffers have been on the south carolina and super tuesday still a month away. ground. people left school to come be elizabeth warren also part of the process. volunteers were knocking on anecdotally seetmed to be pickig doors in zero degree weather. up days before the caucus, folks that went into campaign another uncertainty pip goes into new hampshire not nearly as events to be part of the popular as a neighboring senator democratic process and now it comes down to the fact that as bernie sanders is, so right folks don't know what to now with momentum being so key, believe. in the democratic party here in no one got any. iowa right now they say they now instead we're, the release the results here at some democratic party is looking at point later today, so that means itself and has to ask potentially some time when the themselves, how did we mess this sun is up, but the biden up again? >> no one got any and, again, campaign is pushing back saying talking about bloomberg, if he's the iowa democratic party they want to review the results trying to fill that gap in the before the democratic party puts middle of the democratic party, them out there. his main competitor is the guy last night they released two who by all accounts is running phone calls that the campaigns out of money fast. took part in with the iowa joe biden. >> and as vice president biden democratic party. goes through a brutal february, there was frustrations and state after state, contest after little answers from the democratic party. as robert just mentioned there, contest trying to fight for his

vote, mayor bloomberg is sitting there ready for early march, this is no surprise. super tuesday, spending millions they talked about the on television advertising. development of the app, and it largely avoiding the fights. was an effort to try to make he's not on television that this a more open process. often. he's taken strategic trips ultimately in the process they around the country, and you see him with his message introducing himself to voter on social media were never able to say they were and television and his numbers wholly ready for the moment. keep rising. >> just to follow up on vaughn's his team is watching. can biden really come out of great reporting the campaign south carolina with a boom and most frustrated on that call say, i'm going to be the last night, senator benny sand standard bearer for the moderate wing? if that's not the case, if it's a muddled result out of south -- bernie sanders campaign. carolina heading into super tuesday, that's where bloomberg believes he has the opportunity. they say maybe the process has because he comes out of super been flawed for decades. >> this result that -- oreffect. tuesday maybe inching up to 20% in polls. 25%, and mayor buttigieg and biden, if they're not there, say joe biden's campaign wants to we are ready to take on sanders for the long haul. remember, sanders committed to going all the way to the review them. convention. >> yes, he will. what are the internal sanders >> so bloomberg's whole argument is i'm the only one in his view, he says, who can do the same. numbers telling that campaign? >> his theory of the case, >> the sanders campaign says based on their own internal

sitting here waiting if there is chaos. haven't made up your mind i'm sitting here waiting. pump all of this money in states numbers from nobody even has staff yet. what we have this morning so far precincts they say they're is chaos. i'd say one for one for victorious. and their own internal numbers bloomberg and see what goes from here. >> quickly. got to go. can't let you go before we talk from boouttigiegbuttigieg's cam about the house races and the senate races. where do they sit right now with impeachment about to end? >> well, for the 30 democrats their own internal numbers say sitting in trump districts they can't wait to get it over with. democrats look pretty good in they're victorious. terms of their odds in the house of keeping the house first. he didn't take the stage until they've got a number of republican retirements. 11:30 last night and after every they can pick up i think four or other candidate went up and five seats in republican suggested they were leaving iowa districts. doing well. so it was a missed opportunity new north carolina map gives two districts for free. more than that, democrats are for the buttigieg campaign. clobbering republicans in the they took a plain and they're money chase. >> are they really? >> we haven't seen impeachment give republicans the energy boost in terms of recruitment sh showing up in new hampshire, but and fund-raising i thought they they not able to declare might get out of it. in the senate, uphill climb for democrats.

key is really going to be, can they put those two seats in themselves the surprising winner georgia in play? >> you know, mika, everybody claiming that impeachment is such a nightmare, all of the trumpists online and, you know, writing columns and on cable of the iowa cause discucuses. cu. news saying that impeachment is so bad for democrats. have laser drilled holes. they may want to pass that word they release medicine fast, along to the republican senators for fast pain relief. who are begging donald trump to tylenol®. not talk about impeachment tonight. please, mr. trump, just talk about the economy. >> oh, my lord. >> or maybe how you hold your hand over your heart when they play the "star-spangled banner". >> we'll see. dave wasserman, thank you so much. still ahead, we don't know who won iowa but we learned a lot about the voters and the issues that matter most to them. steve kornacki joins us from the big board next on "morning joe." ♪

welcome back to "morning joe." former mayor pete buttigieg of south bend, indiana. do we congratulate you? >> you're a winner, everybody's a winner. >> it does seem by the early results that you deserve more than a precipitation trophy, you're cutting across all types i'd say he has a reason to of voters, it seemed very

be ang gris thry this morning. successful for you and your >> who's that? team. >> i think we were able to >> kcorkornacki. demonstrate the winning message and the winning organization and rb we all? and political reporter and aunger of "the red and the blue" what was so important. steve kornacki. steve what can you tell us about iowa? >> not at much as i thought i'd we voted democratic in the past be able to 24 hours ago coming and we do d well, this is really into today. the first proof point for the there you go. looks exactly like it did yesterday. >> what? >> yeah. campaign putly going on to we thought it might actually be a relatively quick night turned into the longest night ever in defeat trump. iowa caucus history. no results in yet across the and fighting people and not state. shutting people out, and i think hopefully we will get some of that approach served us very those today. we do have, the only thing to go on basically two things. number one, isolated precinct well. media folks observing going through the process and saw what i don't think there is anyone happened in those few precincts. the other thing we have, the more eager than i am to get the entrance poll. a look at the iowa caucus electorate as it entered the numbers certified. but we did have the numbers we caucuses last night. we can show awe few findings had and those numbers are just from that one. talked about it so much in the

polling going into the caucus. phenomenal. >> what is the campaign being the divide when it came to age. told about what exactly went what we saw in the polls very much what we saw in the results wrong? what happened? last night. look at this. >> so i have not heard much of first you see about 55% of an explanation about what the caucusgoers over age 45, 45% technicals are. were told there is a paper trail under age 45. start with older voters, 45-plus and a back up system and that is what that picture looked like. biden and buttigieg basically very important giving that plan battling for the lead there. a did not work out. we need to see those numbers and klobuchar, warren, guess who's name you continue to see here? i'm glad there is that way back, buried in low single verification process. but i'm frustrated and impatient digits here among voters like everybody. and here we are in new hampshire 45-plus, bernie sanders. so buttigieg, biden leading where of course a week from today we're going to have the there. sanders not registering. next test, the next opportunity, what you're seeing at that end and i'm convinced here, too, of the hd. go to the other end. 45 and under. that our effort, our message, completely different story. and our organizing approach will here is where you see bernie sanders running away with it. serve us well. >> mr. mayor, tell me about your 41% for sanders, in single decision last night to go out digits over 45. at 41% under 45. and declare victory. that is doubling up pete

buttigieg, warren, look that. andrew yang double digits and >> we were looking at the guess who's name you continue to see here? the former vice president joe internal numbers that we had and biden. he's buried in single digits on beginning to realize that something extraordinary happened this question of age. so that the divide we've been last night pap cap pain that was seeing in the polls. very much the divide we saw in the entrance poll. obviously, i'm sure folks at really talk about reaching the home can do the math. what you're seeing, when you flatten those things out perhaps a bit of advantage, suggesting position that we did, and it was a clear victory for this possibly for buttigieg and campaign. >> not based on anything you sanders with the others a little heard from the state democratic behind them. that's the entrance poll. party, for example? >> no, we don't have anything always take that with a grain of salt and start measuring against from the party. nothing that you wouldn't have the actual results. heard as well. we saw that early trickle, but quickly on ideology, the nix mi the thing about this, unlike a primary where there is a secret the iowa caucus. somewhat liberal voters, larger ballot, this is folks standing in the room for all to see, with group, take you through what that looked like. why was the presser right there and with our own observers right there. this group, largest among so it made it possible for us to democrats. see him leading there. get a very clear sense of just also the smallest group here how extraordinary of a night it is and that's what i want today ideologic share with our reporters who are ideologically, liberal and no surprise here.

where sanders was running away just so charged up and excited with it. about this campaign. buttigieg buried biden further behind with that. >> i know you're certainly those were divides we saw in pleased with the results or your polling leading up to uit. sense of how last night went, but there is certainly a sense of dismay about the process that surprise in the entrance polls we don't have conclusive buttigieg stronger than expectations. see how that actually plays out in the individual precincts and counties. hopefully infew hours results. there has been whispers from other campaigns suggesting that. days, weeks? we'll see. that perhaps iowa should be >> and it's willie. watching saying thank god we have steve kornacki on our team. tossed out. so let me just ask you that, he is so good even with no should americans, should information to work with, but tell me about your interactions last night with the iowa state americans feel confident later democratic party? today, if we get those results you did read a statement about two hours in at least an hour should we believe them? >> that is why that paper trail after you thought we'd have some results, that was sort of the is so important. first red flag to a lot of people they didn't have what they needed. it wasn't forthcoming. the entire thing takes place out what type of panic, what did you in the open. pick up from them as you spoke the frustration is the timing. to them over the course of the the results will come in and i night? >> what we picked up was not very much. will trust the results but we i can tell you, look at the past wanted to see those results last

four democratic iowa caucuses before last night. night to we could support them. 2000, 2004, 2008, 2016, in all of those cases by about 8:30, that's why we're waiting for the 8:45, you started to have a official numbers to come through, and at the same time we fairly significant amount of vote that was in that you could know for the road ahead that we start to look at. are arriving with the 8:50 last night, 8-5-0, we have extraordinary momentum. we have beaten other expectation zero. at that point, 8:50 p.m. eastern and this is why i was about to time, iowa democratic party told say with confidence when we got us it's coming soon. on that plane that we were the word they used, "soon." and used the word soon victorious. repeatedly over the next couple >> just to pick up on jonathan's of hours and soon became 9:30 point, why should any democratic and 10:00. then when you start, got a statement there saying that, hey, they were having some, quality control issues. party under take an iowa caucus >> right. >> what exactly that means? basically got a couple without a mass i confusing statements out of them revealing result in the end. quality control concerns left a >> well, i think one question is lot of questions and then at about how do you put together a 2:00 a.m. eastern time said they technical system to move out e would do a conference call with reporters. got on that 2:00 a.m. eastern time. precinct numbers. chairmanning of state party came another is the future of the on read a very brief statement

american public. saying the results would be out i see a gathering majority of sometime today trying to make it americans that are united in sound like they had been wanting to make sure we turn the prepared for this all along. there were no questions. page on this presidency. there were no specifics. there was no sense of what the timing would be today. we saw democrats, we saw is it 8:00 a.m.? independents who walked away from the process in the past, we 8:00 p.m. today? ended the call. saw a lot of republicans, took no questions. that was the last communication disaffected republicans that we were with them. will not agree with me on >> the exit poll suggests everything but are just tired of obviously that only pete buttigieg seems to do well in trying to look their kids in the almost all of the demographic eye to explain this to them. groups. probably if those exit polls end while there is certainly up being accurate that's good frustration about the reporting news for him. but based on the -- the reports numbers coming out, this is about the american people that you got from the media, the choosing our future in a way media reports you got from some of the caucuses, just what's that will will what all things are about. we need a surge of support and i have to ask anybody who is your thumbnail sketch of what you're looking at, what you're following this campaign that believes in that approach to expecting when the results are politics to go to finally made public? >> yeah. peteforamerica.com to chip in here what i'm looking for. take you back to the map here. and lend us a hand.

>> i know we have four daughters see. go to this one. so what you're describing there between us, mayor pete you're in terms of -- the sanders support, if the entrance poll is number one from my girls and right and sanders is blowing everybody out with the youngest voters, but isn't registering joe's daughters are waiting for even with the oldest voters, it your campaign texts as we speak. raises the question to me again, is hi support concentrated in the college counties around the >> someone made a snide remark state? iowa state, you know, luther and they said joe and mika will colleges, grinnell college over here. is his support going to be win iowa because of their concentrated in a few big daughters. >> if is a good start, if we can college student dense young voter dense county where is he just count the votes, just runs up the score and congratulations. potentially is able to win that from everything you're saying it first preference? seems like you had a heck of a you know the people who night last night. initially show up popular vote >> thanks for having me on. essentially. able to do that for him? >> just -- i have to say, how whereas, again, entrance polls frustrating. >> the work they have done -- are right and buttigieg >> this is after all of that supporters are more spread out work. agewise, potentially spread out i feel like this is the first geographically, is buttigieg doing a little better significantly better than sanders in the more rural areas, "lord of the rings." in the older areas of the state? i watch it'd for 3 1/2 hours because there is an imbalance in with my kids and at the end of

the iowa state democratic it i'm like okay, how will it party's formula in terms ever awarding actual state delegates end, right? in this thing and the imbalance >> i sure do like walking with favorses the rural parts of the you, frodo. state. we showed it yesterday. go west of des moines basically, >> i like walking with you, sam. take this part of the state, and i'm like that's it? this is probably about 10% or "star wars," "lord of the 11% of the turnout in the democratic caucus is. rings" -- >> but you get into the second it's more like 14% or 15% of one. >> i could do "potter" all day. delegate strength. >> "two and three in lord of the bonus delegate wise in the rural rings." areas and looking at that >> you can tell he feels like he entrance poll and extrapolate did great last night. it, an if, if it happens, it it was an extraordinary night. those are internal campaign raises the possibility. look for it today. numbers, but the reason he is on hopefully today, of a split tv, they think they did well verdict. >> thank you so much, steve. last night. i know you're exhausted. go back into your "star wars" we'll find out if the actual numbers match internal numbers cryogenic pod and they'll unfreeze you in an hour or two. today. >> but pop cultural references we greatly appreciate it. what a mess. aside, but what stood out the >> he won't sleep whamplts. most is you had joe biden doing >> what a mess. the entire purpose of iowa and

talk to these campaigns every well with older voters, but day. you talk to the candidates. i've sat down with them. really pour with younger voters. more than a year of their life, bernie sanders doing great with oh, on the ground, des moines, younger voters and poorly with sioux city. iowa city. >> all wonderful city. older voters, and mayor pete >> great city. doing well with both sets of i love iowa. i love the people in des moines. voters. that means something. not just in iowa. java joe's. great people. that is a transferable skill however, these people, these candidates, these aides spent months, years, for this one night. >> yeah. every place he goes. >> tireless, regardless of which campaign you're on, tireless work. >> and i will say that he was -- reporters go in there. we're not the story but we're there covering it, taking it he dismissed the idea that you should be worried about this but serious seriously. and then on the night where it turnout was not up that much matters, we're just looking for an accurate result for the iowa last night. if i were a democratic looking at this, it is not just the democratic party, to not have it ready, it raises serious missteps, but where was the questions about iowa's role, because iowa beyond just the problems last night, 90% white. entuesde >> yeah. enthusiasm to beat trump was not >> many older voters. quite there last night either. it's not representative of the >> do you feel robbed? democratic party. and why has this process

continued after all of these challenges in previous cycles? >>. >> i dropped a dumb and dumber because people want the bounce. reference earlier this morning. >> time and again. so you're saying he has a unbelievable, jonathan lemire. again, the backdrop to this is chance. wouldn't you say? >> i had ricky bobby, if you're even more remarkable where you have the director of the fbi, not first you're last. when i'm throwing i stay this director of the cia, the ndi, you name it. the military intel community. weekend, it was on. everybody saying that the >> it was awful. greatest threat to american >> she would sit back there democracy is the sanctity of our going oh, it's awful, and then election process, that it is the father would show up to the under attack and we have a president who ignores their career day and she is dieing laughing in the back of the warnings. >> right. room. >> how about the dinner table >> and so we come to the scene with the prayer, he thanks democrats first chance to show all of the sponsors and little that they know how to return an election, and it is just baby jesus. >> coming up on "morning joe" botched. >> right. the president, of course, downplayed the election the impeachment vote is a day interference in 2016. taken a few steps to safeguard elections this nime 20time in 2. away. we'll talk more about that and to bob's point, taken coming up on "morning joe." coming up on "morning joe.

seriously and dealt disservice by the state party the results can't be counted in a timely fashion all for democrats now this unknown, just going to feed into intraparty tensions and given life to conspiracy theories. the other concern, talk in the days before this iowa caucus about record turnout. a statement the state party put out earlier in the evening, how bout no? no. turnout along the lines of 2016. uh uh, no way. ♪ not a record. seems turnout might be down from come on. no. where the party hoped it would no. be. a question of enthusiasm? n... ni ni, no no! a question about the candidates? only discover has no annual fee on any card. adds to the utter mess for democrats coming out of iowa. >> we have to be careful talking the best of pressure cooking and air frying about this because we, again now in one pot, and with tendercrisp technology, have no idea what happened last night. candidates are putting out their you can cook foods that are crispy on the outside own internal polls used and juicy on the inside. the ninja foodi pressure cooker, beneficial to them, but if you're joe biden and not likely the pressure cooker that crisps. to finish one, two or three and consternation about your candidacy coming out of iowa, can you not just leap ahead, plant your feet in new hampshire and say, we got to throw out

his own supporters. what happened last night because he has a remarkable political skill at sort of skating through of the technology vote, do you things that would seem to be inconsistent, seem to be think the iowa caucus is a good way to elect a presidential inappropriate or outrageous, and his own people just cheer him on and think that, that show as nominee. >> i spent a lot of time real person in their view. campaigning for them over the >> and the super bowl link. remember many people expressed years, they're wonderful people and they're a great bunch. moral outrage about the halftime having said that i think that show. franklin graham and others who the democratic caucus in iowa is support donald trump looked a kwauquarky tradition that sho other way for someone who cheated on his wife with a porn wife and paid her off to keep it quiet. >> illegally, we might add. come to an end. top story of the morning, the iowa caucus is the most painful situation we face for voting. people that work all day, do you david ignatius, intread it think they're going to the reporter. tell us, what happened? caucus next? >> an extraordinary story we of course not. we have to have a means for feel just don't know. >> how's that possible? >> well, we're going to find out. it's going to be one of the express themselves and the better tick tock as we say in caucus is not it. our business reconstruction stories. just how did this happen? >> you're the second most why was there such poor powerful democratic in the communication by the iowa

authorities? why was the system so vulnerable united states senate. we talk about this all of the after so many months of preparation? but it is one of the big time. the democratic party doesn't anti-climaxes i can remember in look to two of the whitest states in america to pick the primary history. >> you know, david, you remember presidential nominee from -- for back at the 2000 recount. republicans and democrats alike a very diverse party. got together and a lot of us were talking after that about how does this -- it has to stop, having a more unified, national everybody says it has to stop. system to stop butterfly ballots in florida from happening to stop this sort of thing from happening. i know we want to allow the the same thing happens. states to have some deference, why not start with florida, but should there be a minimum illinois, jazz even. standard? >> so, that's one of the questions we're going to look these two very white states. at. the vulnerability that's been >> i love my neighbors in iowa demonstrated in the system, the and i have campaigned with them fear is the demonstration effect. and i respect them very much for here in this primary we've been their commitment to the party, waiting for a whole year, it's but the state of iowa does not reflect our party and the fact obvious to anyone who looks at that we're putting so many chips home or abroad that the system on the table in iowa. here we are the morning after in some ways that we still don't with the iowa caucus to be one understand can be interfered with, and i just worry that that

demonstration effect will encourage other people to play games down the road. big political asterisk. i just was talking last week i would like to see a more diverse beginning. with secretary of state from a key swing state and he had been >> all right, senator dick meeting with other secretaries of state and they are pulling durbin, thank you very much. out their hair thinking how do >> david, iowa and new hampshire we, without having federal make sense for the republican rules, which saints don't want. they want to run elections on party. i would guess about 90% of their own, have severe republicans are white. elections? i don't have the exact number, just the rumor of what happened iowa could happen in your state but we're saying this is nothing will be the destabilizing factor. they've got to figure it out. against iowa. >> and yamiche, not like iowa and new hampshire work. but if you have a party that is tornadoes were racing through more diverse, you have to go to there. wasn't even apparently a record turnout which we heard about. states like florida or arizona in fact, in many of the precincts heard the turnout was or georgia or illinois. >> yeah, i think that message about the same as 2016. will be clear that this was a they weren't overwhelmed. muddy tuesday morning where we're just trying to think how they knew what to expect for four years and still botched it. to parse all of this, but one how long did you say the call? 74-second call report but you

said actually shorter than that? clear conclusion this being the >> the call, yeah. iowa state democratic party had a call between 53 seconds and 74 seconds to say basically we will starting gate, that has to end, give you more information when we have it. and if the democrats want to be that obviously means they are the start of the minority being defensive, because it's embarrassing for them. iowa, this is something that majority -- they talk about all year. >> the idea of pushing iowa something that was so out -- >> they could make the first anticipated and then when the actual big night comes there are contest a battleground state. no results. i think if you're someone like there is diversity where they amy klobuchar or joe biden this is a gift for you, that you can could capitalize on them. say, well, you know, just stick >> michigan would be a great with me in new hampshire. stick with me in south carolina, state. michigan would be a great state and super tuesday. for democrats. of course, the president and the you have diversity. you have cities, you have rural trump campaign has already seized on this making fun of areas, you have working class democrats saying how in the world can you fix health care, democrats, you have union -- a redesign the health care system strong union. if you can't deal with item wa you have all of the elements that make the democratic party strong and made it strong over caucuses? also a big question whether or the past century all in the not iowa should be first to get it. i'm not sure they'll change it state of michigan, why not start because of this one thing but look at demographics of iowa and there. >> iowa seems like the wrong a state like florida or texas or place to start and this morning other places more we don't even have results which demographically look like the makes it worse.

rest of the state, you have to there is a lot of history being wonder whether or not democrats will say, is this the day or the made in politics lately. year we really rethink our nominating system? >> well, and a textbook example we'll be back on "morning joe." . of a winner. here are the candidates. >> so we don't know all the results. but -- we know -- by the time it's all said and done, iowa, you have shocked the nation.

we are shocked, iowa. it's how i led a complex, we are shocked. diverse city and it's how i'll you know, willie, the sanders unite and lead this country. supporters right there from time i'm mike bloomberg and to time are described as angry i approve this message. people. i will tell you if i were a sanders supporter or if i were bernie sanders, man, and there's not a word for what i would be. he worked his ass off for years survived a heart attack, like -- like -- outperformed everybody on the ground. >> supporters. >> 500,000 doors -- and the victory, either -- he or mayor pete won last night. we don't know. but if i'm bernie, man, or if i'm mayor pete, i am really angry right now. >> yeah. >> this is inexcusable. >> all that work, all of those volunteers, all of those door knocks, those tens of millions of dollars in advertising were all pushed into iowa for this morning. and this morning is when we go on the air and announce the winner. bernie sanders believed it would have been him.

pete buttigieg thought it would have been him and then you're off to the races. right? you go into new hampshire. >> pat buchanan said got $100 million of earned media from an iowa win. >> yes. >> they got nothing. >> got nothing. so they all did last night what they should do. with no result go up on the stage and say you won. why the hell not? pete buttigieg got out early said we won. they've all turned the corner. going to new hampshire. mayor buttigieg on the show notw joining us now, susan a page hampshire. they're walking away from this. and author on nbc news news we'll get a result later in the day. peter, i think to the question presidential historian michael about what the democratic party in iowa has said or hasn't said in that lack of communication beshlov. >> can you think of anything like what you have seen tonight? that yamiche talked about. >> bike we see tonight, on the the last communication, they said the ad did not go down. not a hack or intrusion trying heels of the caucus. to put to rest the speculation in terms of news, no. about foreign intrusion or 21 years ago, you all remember everything we know russia has been up to over the last few that when bill clinton gave his years but those in the precinct state of the union in the middle of his impeachment trial he was said the app didn't work. saying we were on hold two hours

not running for reelection. trying to work out the kinks and clinton was so disciplined with our app or report results. he tried to keep what he with this is an unmitigated disaster. no other way to put it. the question now is, will iowa impeachment, and these long speeches, they felt longer the remain the first in the nation when we do this four years from better, people would hear a proposal that would make clinton now? and more immediately, was does more popular, but didn't mention it mean for this race, today? >> that's right. impeachment. look, if you're message is we do you think donald trump will have the same inclination don't need the russians to screw tonight? >> i remember those speeches, i things up because we do it was sitting in the chamber. ourselves, it's not a good message. right? it went on and on. >> oh, my god. >> for years what's looked like a quirky, charming relic of i would wander to the cloak room, lie down on the couch, watch tv, wander back out. american democracy today looks i always thought this is going dangerous, reckless, to bomb. no. people loved it. incompetent, embarrassing, dysfunctional, pick your the numbers went up. adjective. >> susan, somebody whose numbers you heard last night even former didn't go up, joe biden's. dnc chairman terry mcauliffe saying it's over. looked like joe may have dodged we can't keep iowa as first in the nation. for all sorts of reasons long a very bad result. before this issue started in >> the luckiest man in america terms of representation, in today is joe biden because we terms of why them? to test our kwn best state in know from what indications we have, he was not doing well in

iowa, enabled him to dodge the bullet. if pete buttigieg does as well as it seems he has done in iowa, it prevents him getting that banner headline going into new hampshire today. >> so what is the soonest we would get results if they hand count and everything? does it matter? how are the results impacted by the catastrophic delay? >> i think they still matter, but they don't have the impact they would have had if they had come out as they usually do last night. >> it is beyond unbelievable. >> you're the presidential historian, let's talk competence. we have a president talking tonight, we have mitch mcconnell, nothing happening in the senate, nothing happening from the white house other than nasty tweets and a lot of back and forth. you think back, look at the field. i ask in the field who has the competence, who has the understanding how to make washington work again. you think about lbj. he inherits the presidency from

a martyred president who though wildly popular didn't know how to get things passed. lbj breaks the log jam, passes civil rights. same thing with tr. he had the working knowledge to use the bully pulpit to pass some remarkable -- break up the trusts, give working class americans rights. who's out there that knows how to run washington in. >> you're making an argument for experience. richard nixon's slogan in 1960 was it is experience that counts. i wouldn't suggest that be a great slogan for people to use nowadays, but what you're saying is strong presidents who hr effective had been ones with a history of knowing how to deal with congress and knowing how to talk to the american people. it is not something that's really very much valued in a lot of early contests. >> lbj wasn't popular. i remember reading about how the

congress who had their way with kennedy tee siddecided they wer stopping him sending grain to russia. he said in his subtle texas way i'm going to kill that bill. and he did. and he did it in such a way that suddenly the power went back. >> from the days after kennedy's death with this life force, this passion, famous moment where he said what the hell is the presidency for if not to make a difference. and people picked up on that. there's one person that will have a pretty interesting argument today, michael bloomberg, the guy that sort of invented modern data crunching, who was a competent mayor. interesting to see how he plays this. say after the mess of iowa,

personal positions move into the post iowa, post new hampshire, post south carolina world, maybe michael bloomberg. >> wasn't that his plan? his plan is sanders will be doing well, he is leading in new hampshire, biden will stumble, there will be an opening for someone more centrist than bernie sanders. we never had a super tuesday like march 3rd, one so early and big, a third of delegates to be nominated elected on that single day. that's the michael bloomberg dream. >> michael, on the question of competence, the president and republicans are already saying they're drawing a straight line from what the iowa democratic party did to say bernie sanders being president, the line is they can't run a caucus in iowa but they want to run the national health care system. does that strike you as an effective argument? >> it might actually work in certain ways with certain voters just as in 1968, for instance, when richard nixon was running for president, he said the democrats could not run a

convention in chicago, do they have the competence to lead america. >> i want to show you guys as we end, "miami herald" showed the president of the united states clowning around, acting mockingly, mockingly conducting an orchestra during the super bowl star-spangled banner. can we run the clip real quick? >> yeah. >> michael, i would ask you for precedent to this. i'm pretty certain -- >> i think we would be waiting a long time to find one, joe. >> you know of none. do you guys have it? >> it is coming. >> have you seen the clip? >> i have seen the clip. >> here is donald trump, everybody else, hand over heart, his son, hand over heart, his wife, hand over heart, lock at him mockingly conducting, pointing at people that are all hand over hearts.

thoughts, susan? >> i think it is distressing and it probably will not have any impact on president trump's supporters giving what we have seen happen in the past. i agree with susan. people think they know him, it is not a huge surprise he would do something like this, i think they'll cut him slack. >> that does it for us this morning. stephanie ruhle picks up coverage after a quick final break. as parents of six, this network is one less thing i have to worry about.

hi there. i'm stephanie ruhle. it is tuesday, february 4th. here's what's happening this morning. absolute chaos and confusion in the state of iowa as technical issues overshadow the first votes of the presidential election. by this time this morning, we were supposed to have a clear winner and delegate count. one or more democratic candidates were supposed to be riding a wave of momentum and iowa was supposed to be boasting a new transparent reporting process. instead, front pages of newspapers across this nation are telling a very different story of a party in self inflicted disarray. the iowa democratic party says
