he was doing a story on martin o'malley. he said, i'm doing a story on martin o'malley.he can get progressives away from elizabeth warren. he started to laugh. literally laugh. i'm like, you don't know what's going on out there. i think to a certain extent, we saw this with the blogs back in the early 00s. the media that is closest to people, i think, has a better sense on some level of maybe in this populus moment, maybe other moments not so much what is going on on the ground. >> part of it, too, is there is a lot of different publics. for a year there was this thing about oh, you folks who are on twitter are on woke twitter, you understand that real voters out there view themselves as moderate conservatives and they are voting for joe biden. now they're voting for bernie sanders. joe biden, the story of the race so far in some ways is joe biden has the dog that didn't bark, right. if you want to be mad, be mad at joe biden and the people that campaigned. >> but be mad not only at joe biden but at the establishment that decided to get behind him a year ago and were ins

. >> hillary clinton, followed by bernie sanders and martin o'malley, who leaves iowa on a rocket for new hampshire. >> bernie sanders was at 49 four years ago. he's lost somewhere around half of the support he had in iowa four years ago. >> you're turn dg feing defeat victory. >> it's a -- bernie sanders voters are not as attached as people seem to think all they are. because they got another chance four years later and they have split off. like half of them have split off to other candidates. that's a very big deal that he hasn't been able to hold the support he had four years ago. >> isn't that a possibility? >> it shouldn't be if they're attached to you. look, we've seen candidates in large fields get huge amounts of support, like way outside everybody else. it's not happening here. what they're saying is oh, now at the there's more on the menu more than hillary and bernie, i'm interested in elizabeth and pete and these other people. but if you give them -- i think if you once again gave them a hillary/bernie choice, then bernie would have 49 again. >> that's an interesting point

> joining us this morning on our premier edition, the former democratic governor of maryland, martin o'malley, he ran as a presidential candidate in 2016. roland martin, host and managing editor of the roland martin digital show and anna marie cox, with friends like these, her podcast and daily beast columnist and host of sirius xl radio's show. thank you to the four of you for joining me now. i want to start with you, governor, because when you ran in your campaign, this conversation, the first speeches that came out of new hampshire and iowa by these candidates were about being the ones to be able to build the necessary coalition. when you were running for president it was entirely likely that the democratic candidate had a good chance of becoming president. now they are talking about the fact that it can't happen until they can build a coalition and unless they can build a coalition. >> well that's always the name of the game, isn't it? i think this is a very fluid race. i think that people are excited to be able to cast their ballot in the upcoming primaries and i think the fact that mike

hillary clinton will be your victor followed by bernie sanders and martin o'malley, who leaves iowa on a rocket for new hampshire. >> bernie sanders was at 49 four years ago. he's lost somewhere around half of the support that he had in iowa four years ago. >> you're turning defeat into a victory, and that's what -- >> it's kind of the unnoticed number of iowa. what bernie sanders had four years ago, bernie sanders voters are not as attached as people seem to think they are because they got another chance four years later and they have split off. like half of them have split off to other candidates. that's a very big deal, that he hasn't been able to hold the support he had four years ago. >> isn't that an impossibility, though, with such a bigger field? >> it shouldn't be if they're attached to you. look, we have seen candidates in large fields get huge amounts of support, like way outsize everybody else. it happens. it's not happening here. what those voters are saying is, oh, now that there's more on the menu than just hillary and bernie, i'm interested in elizabeth, and i'm interes

in 2016, when hillary clinton and bernie sanders were the main candidates and martin o'malley was a distanthird, 40 percent of people made up their minds in the last month. my own husband is undecided. i think that with a field this large and with a lot of highly capable candidates, generally a lot of i would democrats like more than one candidate -- iowa democrats like more than one candidate and that is holding them back. it is possible to caucus uncommitted, but i do not expect many people to land on uncommitted tomorrow night. will leave phone numbers on the bottom of our screen for our guests. who has impressed you the most in terms of organization in iowa , crowd enthusiasm? tell us what you are seeing. guest: that is a few different things. bernie sanders has drawn the largest crowds, but elizabeth warren and pete buttigieg have had large events this cycle. even joe biden and amy klobuchar have had some large events. if we are just talking about crowd size, howard dean was upwing large crowds leading to the 2004 caucuses were he finished third. i will be hesitant to say somebody has
