while thegn clinton dynasty stil appears strong, the bush dynasty was fading.fter a series of setbacks and a crushing defeat in the south carolina primary, a state his brother and father both won, in lateerut february, jeb bush called it quits, saying therere was nothing more he could do. >> people of iowa and new hampshire and south carolina have spoken, and i really respect their decision. tonight, i am suspending my campaign. a >> meantime, donald trump continued to press the flesh and the limits, accusing district court judge gonzalo curiel of being hostile to him because of his mexican heritage. he was presiding over lawsuits against trump university by students who claimed they got fleeced. judge curiel was born in indiana. trump's comments, notwithstanding, by super tuesday it appeared that he and hillary clinton were well under way to the general election.y both carving out dominant positions in their party's nominating races, but other candidates were not about to throw in the towel. with trump being reminded by marco rubio that votes and size matter.

an clinton dynasty.onald trump coming up to capitol hill, little more than 40 men's away from becoming the 45th president of the united states. that oath will be administered in 47 minutes. his vice-presidential choice, mike pence will technically be over him for a while, in terms of the status of the job, if you will. sworn in as vice president ten minutes ahead of the president-elect. so for a while maybe some bragging rights briefly, to have higher position before of course donald trump is sworn in. and as stuart was pointing out, looking at the who's-who crowd assembling there, hillary clinton in the role of the former first lady, coming with her husband bill clinton. all the former presidents are there going back to jimmy carter who was inaugurated 40 years ago this day. if you look at history of sitting there, who will be there, united even as protests are ensuing, not too many blocks from where i am right now. the fact of the matter is, this quadrennial event goes on, largely i would say without i

i mean, the clinton dynasty in democratic politics is over. c party is no longer the party of those individuals who may be the generation of chuck schumer, elizabeth warren, hillary clinton, joe biden. instead the democratic party is the party of mitch landrieu, the party of kamala harris and these young up and coming leaders. i think that today is an amazing show of strength and leadership from hillary clinton. it's also the graceful end of a dynasty and a legacy. even more importantly, i think that where she began with her activism, at the children's defense fund, you'll kind of see that go if you recafull circle s out of the arena of politics and back into the arena of activism. >> a third of the democratic members of congress are not attending. david axelrod, when you hear democrats on twitter or elsewhere talk about not wanting to normalize this day, what do you think of that? >> you know, just to encourage twitter outrage, i will say, i find it bewildering. because the fact of the matter is that donald trump will stand on that platform to

a year and a half or so ago, there was a discussion of two dynasties would continue, jeb bush would be the republican nominee, hillary clintoned president and the dynasties would continue. donald trump eliminated the bush dynasty and the republican primary and changed the clinton dynasty in the general election. >> with the help of american voters terry. >> again and again they did not want washington establishment. they didn't want it in 2008. these are the american people saying washington is broken, we need somebody different, new, strong to fix it. that's what they're waiting for. >> mark, we have seen times like this before. i think donald trump not much of a reader of history didn't want to read about that book that was on his desk. >> he's not particularly reflective. martha talked about the sadness in hillary clinton's face. i'm reminded of a story of richard nixon after attending the inauguration of john f kennedy. and he commented on the speech. nixon talked and said i love the speech. he said you mean the part where i said ask not what your country can do for you and nixon said no, the part where you said i do sol

the republican party could throw at him, and then the best of hillary clinton could throw at him, took down essentially two dynasties >> no, ever. you always give him the benefit of the doubt. all through these confirmation hearings, the democrats are coming strong at all of -- all of the folks that donald has appointed. give the guy a chance. did we not give barack obama a long, you know, very early vacation? >> neil: all kidding aside, that we celebrate the presidency, not the president. we celebrate the white house, not who is in the white house. i think we lose sight of that. these institutions are for all of us. >> very true. i'm so proud to be an american more now than ever before. >> neil: still, if you were president, who would your entertainment be? divo. >> i'd do my own entertainment. >> neil: you'd do your own. you have a great are voice. >> ♪ and now, the beginning is here ♪ thank you, ladies and gentlemen. >> neil: joseph, thanks very much. we'll be dealing a lot with him. hearing great things about joe piscopo. that's another show. >> oh, boy. >> neil: this continues as well, our coverage here. just a

the clinton dynasty was sitting there.opulist it was, but how antiestablishment both parties, how it took on parties. and i think we talk about the peaceful transformation of power, transition of power, what is amazing is that this was even more miraculous in a lot of ways. because it's a transition of power, but it's also the overthrow of two party establishment, and now this president has for years to get his policies through. and he is saying it's me and you, him and the american people. i didn't see a lot, enough of reaching out to everybody. he did talk about it, but i would have liked to have seen him try to pull in a little bit more of talking to democrats and others i did not vote for him. >> let's go over to jay and get a historians perspective on today. >> anyway, i thought it was a remarkable moment, and i agree wholeheartedly with what charles said, that this will be remembered as a speech for the forgotten man. you can be sure it didn't have that many echoes of ronald reagan, who talked about government as the
