that ruling upholds a tallahassee federal judges preliminary injunction against the measure improvedrwhelmingly by voters in 2018. judges say the rule amounts to an unfair poll tax that would disenfranchise many of those felons. there are growing concerns among democrats tonight about the possibility that none of their presidential candidates will have enough delegates to secure the party's nomination outright at their convention this summer. that opens up the prospect of a contested convention, a brokered convention, whatever you want to call it, it's potentially a mess. it's much more of a reality tonight than it ever has been before. correspondent david splunk tells us what this means. >> we are on a path to win the democratic nomination. >> it ain't over, we are just getting started. >> with bernie sanders rising, joe biden falling, and mike bloomberg making a splash, this may be the year that no candidate has enough votes to seal the deal in milwaukee. >> i think we can survive a brokered convention but i sure don't want one. >> when the convention begins and no candidate has th

we would still have a carefree summer in tallahassee, spent our time apart marking down the days untilur next reunion. we would've committed our lives to one another. anyone streams can be changed in an instant. believe me it hurts like hell, i will not pretend it doesn't dream anyway the anticipation it brings you outweighs the pain it leaves behind. anticipation is half the fun. [applause] >> thank you for that heather. >> you talk about dreaming anyway. can you speak a little bit more about the process for you being your own personal journey and how you went about being able to dream again and look forward to things as you started to take the first steps forward. >> i think part of finding anticipation and life again and things to look forward to was trying to find a way to find a purpose in having lost rob. i don't know if there is ever something that you say was it worth it to a lost rob. but finding a meaning and what can i do to continue to move forward purposefully and part of that was the travis foundation, that's how i first crossed paths with my co-authors. i met both of the

so tallahassee possibility that anything can happen.e sanders has the advant e home-field advantage. so he's the favorite. he would have to pull off a major upset to win. this is a state that also demographically would work well for buttigieg given the fact he has better support among white voters and not minor ities. joe biden is just trying to survive to new hampshire to nevada and south carolina. >> elizabeth warren from neighboring massachusetts. she also could do well there. but she's polling not so great. she stands at third in iowa. she's pulled down tv ads in an effort to conserve cash. she has potential to make a comeback, but it doesn't look great right now. >> that's the thing. looking a at this field, he might win new hampshire. but what's his path after that? elizabeth warren has to answer the same question. she comes in third. where's her state? i don't know the answer to that. i don't know what her path is. >> everyone stick around. you'll hear more from the democratic candidates in round two of the cnn town halls in new

us now to explain what any of this means is andrew gillum, cnn political commentator and former tallahasseeand karen finney, cnn political commentator and former senior spokesperson for hillary clinton's 2016 campaign. great to see both of you. mayor gillum, bernie sanders -- i heard you last night saying that the voters keep trying to tell us something and they need to listen to the message. what is the message? >> good morning, yes, the truth is is we're one of i think the last sort of windows to break through which are those of us who are commentators and those in the media keep quickly moving over the victory of bernie sanders, and the voters told us something in iowa -- it wasn't as decisive. they told us something again in new hampshire. again, maybe not as decisively, but i believe we need to listen to what they're saying. one thing came clear last night is, one, they want change, but what also became clear is they want to a candidate who can beat donald trump. and i think you'll find that democrats will unite around that by and large. if you're klobuchar who had a good night, if you

governor, to republican senators, republican legislature controlled the house and the senate in tallahasseemore and more, florida decides a republican state. a swing state one of the most highly fought after state every election cycle second tuesday ohio, pennsylvania and michigan. it could make or break your campaign. political analysts have said for months that if trump does not win florida in november, he may have a very adult likelihood of being reelected. the money will be pouring again. all the candidates i expect will be coming into florida right after super tuesday. leland: we have seen the president and his team show up in states right before the primary of that state. obviously, he was in iowa and sent a huge group of republican surrogates out there for the caucus. in new hampshire a couple days before the new hampshire primary we will keep an eye on the door of air force one. a little better shot of air force one flying over at about 800 feet flying over the speedway. this coming from the pool. we've seen the president do this with air force one a couple times. the army navy game

have visited it , breaks 100 once in a while, but it is a state park down in florida down near tallahassee, and it has one big gettysburg connection. the union commander was that -- the court commander in gettysburg we always forget about, john newton. i would go back and tell that story if i had not done any of these other ones. gary: well, poor john newton doesn't get much love. we all know that. there is an essay in the book that does deal with culp's hill, and we could have another person who i know is in the building up here with us, and that is peter carmichael, who is right over there against the wall. peter wrote about a very small, on federal burial site to gethill that you used at in your recent book. i have heard you do it. i know they can't hear you if you talk. i am saying you are welcome to come up and talk. >> [laughter] gary: my point was that culp's hill is represented and represented by peter. a very modest site that almost no one would go see, and if peter was not with you, you would not know what you were looking at when you were there. peter: that is right, and it was

loopholes so it's important that we still continue to lobby our legislatures, i actually was in tallahasseee's more work to do but we've seen a good progression in florida that we were able to pass red flag laws. >> we've seen it not just the students but also the parents of parkland, fred guttenberg was at the state of the union, walked out of it, made a statement. your parents, how do they feel about you continuing to devote so much time to this effort? are they concerned this has sort of taken over your lives and you have not been allowed to sort of move on? >> it's definitely frustrating having to go through a shooting at such a young age. it overshadowed a lot of my high school experience and feeling like a kid, but at the same time after going through such a tragedy, i've seen how important it is that -- i feel like i have a sense of responsibility to keep fighting for gun violence prevention so it doesn't happen to other schools and really to honor the victims and my friends and classmates who passed away in the shooting. >> absolutely. i have to ask a question about you, how are you

are we going to see the great mayor of tallahassee out there?his panel who are democrats. the problem is is we're not -- there is a base of democrats who are going to vote, yes, because they're animated, they are angry about trump. but the issue is we're not there yet. >> is that what you're saying? >> it's not just that we're not there yet. there are people who are pretty down on politics. 4 million folks who checked out between '12 and '16. they have not seen the results that they have been promised. and they have chosen to refrain from participation. so we're not in -- guess, what we resulted in an electoral victory for donald trump. so the question for me is are you adding more to the table that gets you over that hurdle than what it is that you're losing? i'm interested in the candidate who is actually going to demonstrate that they can bring more folks into this process than we are going to -- >> if you use that metric, real quick, you look at the lense of the 2018 midterm elections and you look for a more moderate type candidate that can
