some of the campaign adds released by democratic presidential candidates hillary clinton and bernie sappeders within the last 24 hour -- sanders within the last 24 hours. >> one of the areas that i've been particularly interested in is the area of children. >> all of us have a responsibility to ourselves, to our children, to each other. >> we intend to be sure that everybody in this room and every child in this state is somebody. no matter where they're born, no matter to whom they are born, our children's few is shaped both by the values of their parents and the policies of their nation. it's time to protect the next generation. fill the lives of our children with possibility and hope. open up the doors so that every child has a chance to live up to his or her god-given potential. i've spent my life fighting for children, families and our country and i'm not stopping now. [cheers and applause] i'm hillary clinton and i've always approved this message. >> there are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy but i believe we need to lift our vision above

coming up tonight at 5:00, hillary clinton, bernie sappeders. how do choose here in iowa? also, a trump supporter at hillary's rally. never a dull moment here in iowa. >> marco rubio going after hillary clinton today. listen. >> clinton does not want to run against me, but i cannot wait to run against her. >> speaking in a town hall meeting in burlington, iowa. he said he is the only republican candidate that can the front-runner, donald trump is the only candidate not in iowa today. he paid a visit to new hampshire less than 24 hours after nothing -- less than 12 hours after not taking part in the g.o.p. debate. nicole briscoe has more on his message tonight. >> we are coming up on the heels of the primary election here in new hampshire. hundreds of people packing this radisson today to hear donald trump speak. trump was fresh off the plane from iowa. he used his time in front of voters friday afternoon to reiterate why he chose not to participate in the republican primary debate thursday night. this, the point in the campaign where candidates start to lose their voices,

the back and forth with hillary clinton turns out bernie sappeders pretty good at going negative whenses to, so i thought it was probably the winner on sort of a global level like how do awe cess the debates but i also think hillary clinton was trying to communicate on particular issues to particular constituencies especially in the african-american community in south carolina, that's her firewall state, huge percentage of the electorate in the democratic primary in south carolina is african-american. so i think each of them got to do something that they wanted to. overall bernie sanders had the better night. >> we talk about social media and them being the ones to tell you bernie sanders won the debate, picked up the most followers on twitter, blah, blah, blah. how much of a function of him being more popular with younger voters ain the point. older people vote, too. >> some grandmas are on twitter but not as many grandmas are on twitter as kids. it is one measure of popularity, of interest in the candidate but it's certainly not the one only one. the one that matters who is goes out

after all these low wage workers, to bernie sappeders they're my voters and they're going to donald trump. going back to what we are talking about earlier. unenrolled angry voters to vote in my primary secretary clinton is going to beat me in new hampshire despite the polls that show me ahead. host: fred from conquer, new hampshire. caller: my question is does rubio have the wisdom to be the president of the united states? this guy's i look at him like a to, four year congressman who thinks he is qualified to be ppt to the united states. and then my other question is is as new hampshire goes so goes the nation. is that going to happen? host: thank you. guest: very good questions. ertainly senator rubio's relative inexperience compared to this race. certainly what's been a primary. until recently senator rubio's campaign stops here in new hampshire were less robust. but he has stepped up his campaign schedule. he has talented people on the ground. he's got a very good campaign organization. but certainly governor bush, governor casic, governor christie, they would all if you asked them for

the bernie sappeders supporter and donald trump supporter are the same type of a voter that is frustratedwas saying. >> frustrated with the establishment. in the '70s silent majority, in the '80s the reagan democrats and it's the same type of a voter there and what they're drawn to and goes back to my earlier point they're drawn to some type of hope or some type of vision for the country because what they feel is that their current elected establishment is not speaking to them. >> they were drawn to hillary clinton in the last cycle. >> if you remember that's where you saw barack obama's numbers dip, these are americans clinging to guns and religion. those are real people, that feel no one is speaking to them. hillary clinton can speak to the audience because she is a "blue collar" democrat and her cross tabs speak to that demographic. the difference is, is that with a donald trump and bernie sanders, they are anti-establishment although bernie sanders has been in the conference since the 1980s. >> i don't know i agree it was the same as the silent majority. the silent majority was the es

the clinton camp said bernie sappeders i'm positive, rallying people, not going to run a negative campaignut he started running ads attacking hillary clinton over wall street and other issues and so the clinton camp is not going to be outdone here and they say he's the one who is flip-flopping going negative all of a sudden. >> i've been hearing all day within the sanders and this is not unusual if true, within the camp there are one group that thinks they need to go harder on the negative side and others say they need to stick to bernie sanders' word, we'll maintain a straight up campaign. my understanding is they have both kind of ads ready to go. is that true? >> they do. that seems to be true, yes. bernie sanders breakfast, i was out with him, he was asked about that and he acknowledged they have these different ads. he insisted they're only going to go positive and that some people might call it negative ads. he calls it contrasting ads where you say this is what bernie sanders is for, that's what hillary clinton is for. it might be very negative but he says if it's a fact, i'm willin

obviously it was one that both candidates that bernie sappeders and senator clinton sought i think theis meaningful is it because it directly considers the arguments both are putting forward before the iowa caucuses. it chooses to stand with the argument that secretary clinton has put forward in terms of putting a premium on the experience and the detailed plans to achieve real results on behalf of americans given the high stakes we're facing. it directly considers the argument senator sanders is putting forward and puts together that his ability to deliver is questionable. so i think it focuses and clarifies the decisions iowa caucusgoers will face in the coming days. >> i wanted to talk about the latest poll that came out this week specifically on the issue of economy. democratic voters have consistently said the economy is issue number one in this election over the fear of terrorism. and when you look at the economy question, 58% of those polled say senator sanders would have a better handle and be better at handling the economy compared with 36% for clinton. that is a dramatic shif

i appreciate it, senior adviser to bernie sappeders. >> good to be with you. >>> we planned on having speaking for the clinton campaign as well and we'll try do that later in the program if we can. i bring in chicago sun times lynn sweet and joe watkins and distinguished senior fellow bob herbert. great to have you here. you heard tad saying those are national polls. we look at politics average and they're looking at iowa within the margin of error really close, neck and neck here. how much will this get at each other tonight? remember ted cruz and donald trump they sharpened their elbows. how sharp will the elbows get tonight? >> both are excellent debaters. elbows will be sharp tonight. i don't know whether or not it will move the chains. i don't know how many more voters are actually out there for them to get in iowa and new hampshire. i think a lot of people already set and really ground game will matter when we get to iowa and new hampshire. they both have really strong ground games as well. they're great debaters. this will be a good show. >> do you see here, lynn, because of th

>> if bernie sappeders wins iowa and new hampshire, we're going to be talking a lot about the democratsampaign. it's quite possible that he could do so. i think he will amass some delegates in some liberal states, and you're going to see him being a factor all the way through, this especially with younger democrats who really, really like him, and so she can't take anything for granted. she's very likely to be the nominee, but she's going to have to continue to work for it. i think it's good for her to have this competition, if it was just a coronation, she would be rustier when it came to the general election so it's ultimately a good thing but could be a painful thing for a while. >> the problem is even with the democratic primary, you have bill clinton being the story of the day when it comes to trump's attacks. that's what we heard the last couple of days. it's not going to go away because trump will not stop this line of attack. it reminds a lot of people they don't like the clinton baggage, while hillary clinton's very popular, if he remains the story on this kind of, you know, bi

autoit said, in part, bernie sanders -- while sappeders has raised important issues, he does not haveolicy ideas that mrs. clinton offers. >> establishment forces, including the "new york times", they're going to wind up behind secretary clinton. that's not a big surprise. the endorsement we're looking for is the endorsement of caucus goers in the state of iowa who increasingly are coming to senator sanders in the final days of this campaign. >> and to your point, what are your expectations in iowa come monday? >> well, look, it is a very, very tight race here. i think all the polls show that. i think both candidates have enough supporters in iowa to win the caucuses. the question is who brings their people out? we're working very, very hard to bring out the tens and tens of thousands of people who support senator sanders. >> what do you need to call iowa a success? >> now the race is essentially tied. i think we've really shocked the country in terms of how well we've done. now we're reeg to push it over the edge. even if we don't push it over the edge, i think people will be a succe

bernie sanders, he actually is outperforming hillary clinton in every hypothetical matchup that nbc news has tested including in iowa, sanders ahead of trump by 13 points, clinton is up over trump by eight. sappedersints, clinton trails cruz by four. new hampshire sand ersz has a 19-point lead over trump, clinton leads by just one. sanders beats rubio by nine, while clinton trails rubio by 12. does that surprise you? >> fascinating. in the words of donald trump, this is huge that bernie sanders is doing so well, and remember he's actually an independent who caucuses with democrats. he is a self-described socialist, and that he is doing so well in those national matchups i think is extraordinary. we know from reports that the clinton camp is getting nervous, and what if he does pull it off, that he wins iowa and then new hampshire? of course the big question is could he win the south as a socialist from vermont, you would expect him to have that affinity with new hampshire, but the clintons of course do very well in the south, and i think that's what they're hoping on. >> i think the head-to-head matchups are ridiculous. quadruple hypothetical. if the vote were held today who would you vote for, fo
