tom brokaw, jennifer jacobs, joy-ann reed and david brody. start a little bit, i also talked to a bunch of democrats at various clinton and sanders events. let me give you a taste of giving their case for why they're passionate or pragmatic. take a listen. >> i like a lot of what bernie says, but i think it's more realistic to go with hillary. >> reporter: did you caucus eight years ago? >> yes. >> reporter: who did you caucus for then? >> barack. i felt the charisma of obama much more so than hillary at the time. >> reporter: what about hillary this time makes you feel better? >> going to start for o'malley, if he's not viable then we will probably go to bernie. >> reporter: what takes you from clintons? >> probably too much establishment or something. >> bernie talks about the big banks. and she's taking money from them. >> i think that at the end of the day when he's sitting down thinking about what he's going to do, he genuinely cares about me. >> i like what sanders says because with the gun laws make sense. >> yes, you didn't mishear. t

we have tom brokaw, jennifer jacobs, msnbc national correspondent joy-ann and david brody. you because, look, ted cruz is make or break depending if he pulls -- but it's uniting evangelicals. >> it is. you touched on it in that interview. ted cruz goes around in all of these campaign stops and says we need if you're going to vote for ben carson, nice guy, but please don't. it goes on, mike huckabee and all these folks. if you actually add the numbers up, ted cruz runs away here in iowa with it. the problem is is thatot only does he have to contend with the fact others will vote for carson a huckabee and others, donald trump is taking 19% as we see in the latest poll of evangelicals which i know is shocking for folks an excedrin moment for fol. >> we're trying to get a feel of who the trump people are, cruz people, we've put a compilation torgt together of the voters i've spoken to. >> i'm for ted cruz because our and the constitution. >> if we ged ted cruz in there, they're going to start getting to get done. >> my second choice would be marco rubio. about donald trump? >>

dana bash, jennifer jacobs.'s a big difference between clinton/sanders and clinton/obama. that is new hampshire was still up for grabs with obama so she could go there and beat obama so it was level playing field. bernie sanders, who's from neighboring vermont, is double digits ahead of her in new hampshire. >> it would be shocking if clinton would use any momentum that she got from here, assuming that she wins the iowa caucuses, to be able to beat bernie sanders in new hampshire. the difference is that large. that's why if you're looking forward, it's south carolina that the clinton campaign is looking towards. that's the place that they hope to really stop any potential momentum that sanders has from new hampshire. they feel like south carolina democratic voters are more her kind of voters, it's more urban, less white, frankly, than iowa and new hampshire. >> and more moderate democrats. >> yes. >> so democrats in the state are very liberal. did i see a state -- tell me if i'm getting this wrong -- where the d
