senator sanders on issues like health care. she is sending out her surrogates like chelseaand her husband, bill clinton. >> you have to decide what is best for america. it is not close who is best commander in chief or the best change agent with economic andcial progress. >> reporter: now chelsea and bill clinton will hold their first joint event in iowa later today. meanwhile, all of the democratic face-off at the dinner party here in charleston. it will be a prelude ofreworks we will see here tomorrow night. craig. >> thank you, kristen. >> joining us is the political analyst and recently served as senior policy paul's campaign. good to have you with us. >> thanks>> let's start with the republican side.

shows nationally, i want to get the numbers correct. cruz stands at 20%. at 33%. looking at these numbers, and as we hear about the republican party preparing for donald trump as the potential nominee, whatt mean behind the scenes? >> for so long, i think everyone thought the donald trump phenomena was going away. two weeks until iowa, he is hereple are adjusting to is it better to have trump or better to have cruz? who is the lesser of two evils of the that is what is going through the minds of establishment republicans. trump feels threatened by cruz and does not want the lead to go away. at 7:00 a.m., he has beeneeting about cruz's canadian citizenship and the bank loans. >> it was revealed he had taken the first loan from his ployer, goldman sachs. now the times reporting this

2008. you look at just this week. makes an entrance on the campaign trail and goes the attack in a huge way. so much so that the clinton campaign tries to talk down what the clintons are personally threatened and frankly, it is going to make for interesting television if bill clinton gets going the way he did back in 2008. been subdued. how long can that last? i don't really count on it. >> it will be interesting. bernie sanders wins in new hampshire, they can write that favorite son. if he wins in iowa, it is '08 all over again. elise, good to see you. >> you can catch the action. we are going to see it in the democratic debate here on nbc tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m. if you are worried about your 401(k) this morning, you are not alone. it has been the worst two-week
