. >> nina turner is former ohio state senator. she previously backed hillary clinton before now supporting senator bernie sanders. thank you for joining me. >> thank you for having me. >> the dn chair you heard right there, debbie wasserman schultz, not mincing words, equating it to a home robbery. sanders's integrity has been a corner stone of his campaign. are you worried about fallout from this? >> well, the only fallout i'm worried about is what is going to affect the dnc. what is outrageous is how the dnc tried to suffocate the sanders's campaign. everybody knows senator sanders is a man of integrity and authenticity. it makes no sense that the dnc would attack him in that way. i agree with david axelrod that says, the dnc actually put their thumbs and tipped the scale. that is what is outrageous. i want to take it a step further. really the dnc attacked democratic voters. think about the voter file itself. you would deny the sanders campaign access to its own voters. you are denying voters the opportunity to interact with se

last month nina turner, a former ohio state senator from cleveland who was both a clinton supporter and a prominent voice on the police killing of 12-year-old tamir rice, surprised many by endorsing bernie sanders instead of hillary clinton. hillary clinton still enjoys a substantial lead in the polls with african-american voters. but as 2016 voting begins in a matter of weeks, can senator sanders offer a meaningful alternative to black voters? joining us now for the interview is democratic candidate for president and vermont senator bernie sanders. he joins us live from las vegas where he is just about to hold a rally. senator, thank you so much for being with us. >> my pleasure. >> i want to ask you first obviously about today's decision out of ohio not to indict the officers involved with the shooting death of tamir rice. do you have a reaction to that? >> well, i do. i've been on the road here all day in nevada. i haven't studied the issue. but obviously it's disconcerting to see a 12-year-old shot because he had a toy gun. it was obviously something that all of us are concerned abo

. >> mark murray and nina turner, we'll have to leave it there for tonight, but we appreciate both ofthank you. >> thanks to all of you joining us here on "msnbc live." i'm erica hill. we'll see you back here tomorrow at 6:00. "hardball" starts right now. >>> donald trump leads and we're not in summer anymore. let's play "hardball." >>> good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. a good while back, i said that donald trump was still in this presidential fight come november, why assume he won't be in the fight come february, when we have the iowa caucuses and the new hampshire primary starting up the whole primary season. well, it's now december, december 1st, in fact, and donald trump is still right where he's been, on top. we're just two months away from the iowa caucuses, the first time republicans will cast ballots in a presidential contest and trump remains in the lead there, in iowa, with ted cruz close behind, but trump has a bigger lead in new hampshire. marco rubio and ben carson are distant runner-ups there. trump also dominates national polls, as trump said at a rally la

everybody in that city and i tell you i give a lot of credit to the mayor, community leaders, senator nina turner, a lot of people, the ministers, todd davidson, a lot of people have said vent your frustration but no violence and we hope and pray that is where it will be but it is obviously a terrible terrible tragedy and we are not going to fix it by committing violence. neil: the county prosecutor had said that this tragedy was a perfect storm of human error but it was not murder. do you agree with that sentiment? >> i don't think i need to be commenting on the case. that is for the people in cleveland. i have asked community and police collaborative to take a look at the issue of the people who communicate with police officers, dispatchers. they have a difficult job and the information that needs to be communicated to officers is sometimes lost and it is important to look at that and we work in terms of being able to get the community to understand the challenges law enforcement have to understand the deep concern the community has and communication and understanding is the key. we have been t

in ohio, state senator nina turner countered a fetal heart break bill with a measure similar to yoursrolina. in virginia, state senator janet howell you sought an amendment that would require a rectal exam. and in new york, kelly cassidy wanted to mandate that men watching graphic video about the potential side effects. and also bills that would restrict men's ability to get vasectomies only if their life depended on it. in all three cases,s measures failed. so what has been the reaction from your colleagues to your proposed legislation? >> the reaction from my colleagues has been interesting. not really strong. i've gotten a much stronger reaction from constituents and others outside of south carolina who see the need for this type of legislation. >> you don't think your legislation will pass, do you? >> in a male dominated legislatu legislature, it's not likely. but i do think that it has ignited a conversation that we certainly need to have. >> there are 231 new laws restricting abortions and the supreme court will hear a challenge to one of those laws passed in texas. how has the
