lincoln chaff, and jim webb hoping to have a break out performance. we'll talk to nicole wallace. let's start with peter alexander. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morningle to you. welcome to las vegas. she is already in a league of her own. tonight the only democrat on stage who's been in a debate before. she's been on debate stages since high school. analysts say a strong showingle could solidify her performance or give more ammunition to the enemies and opponents who say the campaign wheels are come off the bus. tonight she'll debate her fellow democrats. on the ground in las vegas hillary clinton took aim at the republican front-runner, donald trump. showing up unannounced to the union protest outside a trump-owned hotel. >> some people think mr. trump is entertaining. i don't think it is entertaining when somebody insults

immigrants, insults women. >> reporter: clinton's main priority, avoid mistakes that could dominate the headlines. clinton took part in more than 20 debates in 2008. tonight aides hope that will help her deliver a strong performance. then the ongoing e-mail controversy. while partisan sniping hat under cut the house benghazi committee she'll argue it is personal attack with the e-mails being released three days before the iowa caucuses. and clinton will try to deliver a message to joe biden that despite the controversy she's a safe bet. finally can clinton connect with voters? david axelrod said clinton's task is to be real. with clinton facing criticism as a washington insider she'll argue that as a woman she's the true outsider candidate. lately she's used self-deprecation, even mocking

hero bottomic demeanor. >> i was constructed in a garage in palo alto a very long time ago. >> reporter: adviserspeated there is a difference between democrats and republicans than the democrats themselves. over six months hillary clinton has only mentioned bernie sanders's name at most a handful of times. >> we'll see if she sticks with that strategy. >> hillary clinton's biggest rival tonight is bernie sanders who is surging in the polls but never faced this high profile of an event. andrea mitchell also in las vegas with a look at senator sanders's strategy. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. bernie sanders is ahead in new hampshire, raking in millions of dollars and attracting bigger crowds than any other democrat. so far he has avoided personal attacks against hillary clinton.

the question is will that change tonight? the fire it is brand democratic socialist is getting used to huge crowds. but this is a whole new stage. the preparation. her super lawyer playing sanders in debates. surging sanders take on the democratic front runner. >> differences of opinion should be discussed. >> reporter: will sanders get personalle? he said he won't. he will call clinton out for veering left, flip-flopping on the environment, wall street reform and trade. will sanders who raised more than $26 million in small donations in the third quarter sharpen his attack on clinton for being backed by wealthy donors? finally can he show he isn't too far left especially after this comment to chuck todd on "meet the press." >> people will have to contrast

my consistency and willingness to stand up to corporations and wall street with the secretary. >> are you a capitalist? >> no. i'm a democratic socialist. >> reporter: sanders inspired millennials to turn out on college campuses around the country. tonight he'll prove his message can resonate with a wider audience. sanders knows tonight is the big moment. he says while he hasn't changed his principles the democratic party is moving closer to him. savannah? >> andrea mitchell in las vegas, thank you. we are joined by nicole wallace, former director for george w. bush. good morning to you. >> good morning. big night. >> big night. ve gas is the setting. are you expecting a slug guest or do you think it will be sober policy seminar? >> i'm on the other side, but i feel nervous for hillary clinton. she's in the position of being

the democratic party's head candidate but not the heart candidate. once again somebody else has captured the passion of the democratic party. when it happened eight years ago when barack obama captured their imagination and passion you felt bad. if she makes the mistake again of not capturing the passion she only has herself to blame. >> what can you to in a setting like that? >> you know, i think preparing a candidate like hillary clinton is completely different from preparing somebody who hasn't done this before. as you said, she did it in 2008. she knows the policy backward and forward. you have to get her out of her head and almost into the val character from snl last weekend. you have to get her comfortable but she has to avoid a fwaf like the kinds she made on the book tour when she said she was flat broke when she left the white house and said she hasn't driven

herself in 20 years. that's not where the democratic party is. they are more angry than the republican primary voters about a system they view as rigged and corrupt, a system thatle hillary clinton has been in the center of for 25 years. >> bernie sanders exploiting that feeling. let's talk about the elephant in the room -- joe biden. do you assume he 's watching and this is part of his determining calculation whether to get in -- how she does in the debate? >> you know him and you have interviewed enough politicians to know anyone who runs for office watches debate it is same way. they feel the jabs, think i would have done it differently. whether he gets in or not he'll have choice words tonight at the performance of all of them. at the end of the day i believe he's going through an excruciating process of balancing his grief with his desire to continue to serve the

country he loves. there is no doubt he has an opening. >> he's up against the political calendar. we'll see what he decides. good to talk to you, nicole wallace. thank you. >> thanks, savannah. >> a tragic fire in kansas city overnight took the lives of at least two firefighters. natalie? >> such a sad story. a massive fire burned through the night. still smoldering. the firefighters were clearing an area with a partly collapsed roof when the structure came down on top of them. this morning officials in kansas city, missouri, are investigating a two alarm fire at an apartment building that killed two firefighters and injured two others overnight. fire crews dispatched around 7:30 p.m. found the structure damaged by smoke and flames. >> we had two individuals in the structure we had to clear out of the structure. from there we got a chance to do an offensive attack. conditions changed. we had to pull out of the building. >> reporter: two people were rescued from the second floor.

as the firefighters were pulling back from the unstable structure, a wall gave way, the building collapsing instantly, killing the two firefighters. two other firefighters battling the blaze were transported to the hospital with injuries. >> they saved two civilians, carried them out of the second floor on ladders before the wall collapsed. they didn't die in vain. >> so sad. meanwhile the firefighters who were killed haven't yet been identified. we'll continue to report on the story throughout the morning. no known cause of the fire yet either. >> thank you very much. now to a confrontation in south carolina that has some supporters of the confederate flag facing criminal charges. the allegations that they made threats outside a children's birthday party. pete williams is in washington with more. pete, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. the people charged are part of a group called respect the flag that was formed during the controversy over the confederate flag following the murder in

do you know what it is? >> what? >> you don't just take a role. you dive into roles. >> yeah . >> how do you plead? >> absolutely true. to the sadness of my family and friend s. >> is it just the way you learn? >> you know, when you are playing a character you have to defend them and understand them. it's fun playing a character like celia foote from "the help" because you're love and light. playing lucille you have to defend dark actions. that can get tough. >> the other thing i read and i don't know if this is a statement that gets taken out of context but you have a hidden desire to play the villain in a bond movie. >> yeah. it started out at the beginning in 2011 with people saying wouldn't you like to be a bond girl? wouldn't that be fun? yeah, that would be fun but i would rather play a villain. then you are someone to contend with. and how much fun would it be to kick bond's ass once in a while? >> fun, i guess. he's not happy playing bond, mr.

craig. >> really? >> he made disparaging comments but that's for another interview we'll probably never do. this is "crimson peak," lady lucille. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> thank you very much. this movie is from our sister company universal. it opens friday. if you like to be extra spooked it will be available in imax as well. up next, martha stewart getting souped up. first on a tuesday morning this is "today" on nbc.
