we want to welcome back charlie cook. tonight's debate is the final debate before democrats vote in iowa and new hampshire. howou look at this race does this stack up? charlie cook: they say gosh isn't this exciting. not really. if you believe that the biblical process is important and you believe that the presidency is , some of thething aspects of this campaign are not pleasant. you are seeing some folks running who are necessarily qualified for the job. odyis something of a par of the presidential race. but you have to deal with what you got. advisors to hillary clinton believes that her campaign made some serious miscalculations when it was challenged by bernie sanders. tonight in south carolina along with martin o'malley. cook: perhaps the clinton folks didn't take sanders as seriously as they should have. it would be a horrible mistake for him to them to go after him very hard right now. youthfulng to need his supporters in a general election. going to-old is not naturally get the enthusiasm that barack obama got in

our guest is charlie cook of the cook political report. let's go to william joining us from arizona, democrats line. good morning. caller: good morning. i would like to ask charlie cook theestion concerning contestants and their comments sailors on their knees with their hands behind their heads. i am a navy brat. i know what you do -- i know that you do what you are told to do. calabrois it -- the uss 1868 iss captured in being used as a tourist attraction in north korea? that's the question i would like to ask. i have sent e-mails to john mccain's office and lindsey graham's office and i have not received a response. thank you. the video of those sailors, their hands behind their backs. chris matthews said that is going to show up in a campaign ad pretty soon. guest: i think it will. if you are an american, you winced at what you saw. but the outcome turned out to be as good as it could possibly be. so i doubt if it has a huge impact on the trajectory of this race. i think what's important is that the american sailors were not harmed, or

back with us, charlie cook, tom davis, joy reid and jonathan altar.gmatism. which one of those campaigns do you want to run? >> you know what, the thing is when your party has the white house, you're not necessarily looking for a changed candidate. that's the challenge that bernie sanders really faces in this psych. obama democrats aren't looking to rip up his affordable care act. they don't necessarily believe bernie sanders' version of health care, this sort of complete socialized health care he's proposing is practical. bernie sanders definitely represents those liberal democrats who see great unfinished work in the obama era. he was disappointed there wasn't enough retribution against wall street. they would love to see the banks broken up in those kinds of things. voters of color are really more obama democrats than they are changed democrats. that's a real uphill challenge. i think hillary holds the stronger hand going into these caucuses and early primaries, except for new hampshire, of course. >> jonathan altar, it seems to me the hillary camp

opens, charlie cook editor and publisher of the cook report, a colleague of mine, sam feist was senior vp of cnn who can entertain us with stories about organizing debates. , jim lindsay who is chair of the council. his long time partner. we'll have an initial period where i lead a conversation but we will have ample time for you to ask your questions and make comments. i will get you out of here at 930 a.m., as promised. i would remind you this is on the record, we'll simulcast of my casting this. this is not a typical cf our event where it is on what we call house rules. let me start off by asking charlie cook, the research survey in december found that national security rather than the domestic economy was the leading concern of the public, this was in the wake of paris and san bernadino. specifically terrorism was the issue that people were most concerned about it. gallup came out with the survey in january that said concern about terrorism was down a bit. the economy was the number one issue. my leadoff question to you is, do we anticipate, or do do you anticipate that this will b

world war two vet charlie cook has dozens of stories under his belt. this past weekend, he added another one to his list. after having dinner at a neighbors home saturday cook tried to walk home through the snow storm... and nobody knew.... shelby/vo ray kunze--a retired navy medic and his family--literally stumbled across across virginia there have been five hypothermia- related deaths.. cook realizes ---had it not been for the kunze family, things could have taken a tragic turn. he says he owes his storm heroes a debt of gratitude --and thanks other neighbors who have also checked on him since the storm.. we )re less than a week away from the iowa caucus. the latest polls show donald trump and senator ted cruz are the republican front-runners. meanwhile, the democrats held a town hall to try and convince voters to choose them next week. dianne gallagher has the latest on the race for iowa- in their final stop on the national stage before iowans go to caucus - the democrats didn )t come face to face with each other in monday night s cnn town hall but

host: charlie cook, you have often said the right candidate with the right message and at the right time wins elections, is this the right time -- is this the wrong time? guest: i think jeb bush would have been better off if he had started to run a few months ago, estate within real location, it is timing with politics. the bush name is sort of consistent with establishing normal and traditional republican politics and service, and this is a time when none of those are being held in high regards among a lot of republicans. could say fairly that may be jeb bush is not quite as gregarious as his brother, george w, and may not be the natural campaigner, and that is probably true, but at the same time, a lot of these problems are really related to the last name and the brand and not really to him specifically. also, to help the parties change. host: let's go to chris from jamaica, new york, republican line. caller: good morning. you are for taking my call. mr. cook, my question concerns iran deal leading to nuclear weapon for iran. if one of the republican nominees were elected president, wh

. >> robert costa, charlie cook has been insisting that this is ultimately going to be a three-lane race it is not just trump and cruz, that the third lane would emerge and kasich could be the guy, someone else could be the guy. if john kasich -- let's just entertain the possibility here that this poll we've just seen from the "boston herald" raises the possibility john kasich comes in second in new hampshire. if john kasich rushes up there and comes in second in new hampshire, the next day is there tremendous pressure within republican world to solidify around kasich? >> especially if you have trump coming out of iowa with a big win and trump coming out of new hampshire with the same. i think you see establishment donors and party officials now warming to the idea of a trump nomination. but they're still hoping privately in conversations i've had with them to see someone like kasich emerge, and new hampshire's the place to do it. there's a lot of trust in kasich, too, lawrence. there's a sense he's a two-term ohio governor, knows how to speak to swing voters, has a blue-collar backgroun

things he said that he would represent as president of the united states, as much as i represent charlie cook there aren't three lanes of the republican party any more, there are four pieces. money, establishment, elite wing, evangelical wing, blue collar populist wing, they have to decide at this point if they're even able to be compatible with the same party and movement conservative wing, left them out, national review wing that includes the entertainment complex, they have to decide if they have enough common interest to unite around one candidate. if they don't, the leader of the largest piece, the largest one of those fourths will win. right now, the person who's leading the largest quadrant of the party is donald trump, he has the most excited part of the party, the most fervent part of the party and the simplest message, he is going to stop illegal immigration, and that's it. that's all he needs for that wing. the establishment wing is defungt. they lost touch with the base of the party, don't understand the party, don't understand nobody is listening any more. it is over. >> joy, i j

[applause] >> thank you sub four and now we are going to hear from a different perspective from simon lazarus who is a senior counsel at the constitutional accountability center. before joining the center he was in public policy counsel to the national citizen law center. he served as associate director of president jimmy carter's white house domestic policy staff and his partner and powell goldstein frazer and murphy from 1981 to 2002. he was senior counsel to sidley austin in 2002 to 2006 and he is a trustee of the center for law and social policy in the member of the misrata conference of the united states. his articles have appeared in the atlantic, the "washington post," america

but, let me start it off by pewing charlie cook, the research center's survey in december found that for the first time in years, national security rather than the domestic economy was the leading concern of the public. this was in the wake of paris and in the wake of san bernardino, and specifically terrorism was the issue that people were most concerned about. gallup came out with a survey in january that said concern about terrorism was down a bit. a was back up as the number one issue. do you anticipate that this will be an american election where foreign policy plays if not the most important role, a disproportionate role, or will it be domestic issues that drive the electorate? answer is no. i do not think this will be a foreign policy driven election unless some event in the 60 days or so leading into the election trade richard asked us to announce that anybody here this morning, it is a 25% discount on year.cfr dues for next americans rarely vote on foreign policy issues, and it has to be a dramatic and immediate event happening leading into the election. bernardino certainly
