cokie roberts said the stakes were high because funding will flow to the top finishers -- >> it's also a measure of how independents are feeling because 40% of the voters in new hampshire are what they call undeclared. >> reporter: undeclareds in new hampshire can vote in either party's primary. that's why we're seeing an unusual situation. some say they're deciding between trump and sanders. >> thank you, kristen. >>> joining us now, with the unseasonably warm weather we've been getting. >> this is from our east bay hills camera. almost looks like a haze settling in. spencer, what have you got? >> temperatures are not quite so high as they were yesterday. here's live doppler 7 hd. a few high clouds around and as we look at a few clouds over the bay from our roof top camera, here's a look at today's record. yesterday, we had ten new record highs and two ties. today, so far, we have three ties and one new record. one new record today of monterey with a high of 85. these are records for this date, of course. not all-time records. 71 at sfo. 71 in san jose. so it's been certainly a milder

npr senior analyst cokie roberts.the "washington post," bob woodward. >> so, rkso, mika, nicolle wal said last night "it's over." it may not be over but let me ask how did this sneak up on everybody so much? there seems to be a sense of shock over the past week, especially since south carolina, because -- what is -- i'll just say, you, willie geist and i have been reading articles since august and laughing at them saying this is the end of donald trump. we even heard it after iowa. he was barraged after iowa. nobody stopped to say wait a second, he got more votes than anybody before him in iowa history other than ted cruz. why has everybody been so blindsided including the media? >> i think people voting in the early states are clear. this is not like razor-thin iowa for the democrats. this is clear. i guess i feel like in various factions of the media that we're off kilter. >> i think people were blindsided because he says things that normally would disqualify someone and -- >> i don't think it's our job to disqualif

let's talk about it with our analyst matt dowd and cokie roberts. let's begin with the comments from the pope.s ambassador to the vatican for several years. the pope injected himself in this way? >> well, i was a ld but he has been very clear on all kinds of issues where he thinks he's following what jesus said which is what it is to be christian. he backed away when peopleou not vote for donald trump, he said, i'm not going to get into that and he did also say i'll give him the benefit of the doubt. but his basicwhat you're going to do is build walls instead of bridges, it's kind of hard to argue with. >> although that wouldhe other candidates, as well, not just donald trump. meanwhile, matthew dowd, what impact do you think it has on the race? >> this whole story makes me t with the pope and a presidential candidate walk into a bar. in the course of this i think it's an amazing week that we've had. you have a candidate, theor the republicans to get in a fight with the pope. get in fight with the popular governor and the popular get in fight with a

. >> cokie roberts with abc news has covered her share of primaries and sees a trend in recent cycleshe old days you'd come up and it was a lone candidate wandering into coffee shops and talking to individuals. now it tends to be a huge staff and cameras following everyone around. >> on the hunt for that perfect primary moment. >> i've never been more worried about the early primary states than i am today. >> coming up the threat to new hampshire's first in the nation status. the alternative primary plans that have been pitched and the effect they might have on the way candidates campaign. >> 100 years after ballots were cast in new hampshire's first presidential primaries the tradition under fire again. despite recognition of its importance from many. >> i like new hampshire. you have to be -- >> and now the duty to protect it is being passed on from the former guardians. >> this is it every four years. you have to work at it. if you don't work at it you're going to lose. >> to the new protectors of the primary. >> in the end elections are about the voters. and new hampshire brings t

cokie roberts, matthew dowd, donna brazile, and bill kristol. let me begin with you, matthew. marco rubio said he wouldn't do anything different. but the worst reviews of t the campaign. every debate coming up until iowa. he lowe's the most important debate in his momentum campaign. that stals any momentum he had. his ability to get second place is now in peril. i think the second thing, more portantly than that, is this kind of thing. is this kind off thing a virus that he can't get rid of? over the course of the campaign. will everybody see him through this lens? they were going after him on, the governors, especially christie were going after him on and that you heard in the sound important one. the truth is, up until 2008, we only elected two sitting senators ever president. and then in 2008, there were two senators running against each other. so you had to pick a senanator. obama's big resesume poi was not the united states senate. for these guys. they don't have accomplishments to point to. you're in the senate, you have to cast votes. and you do on one side and the othe

let's bring in now matt dowd, our plate call analyst along with cokie roberts and bill kristol. matt, let's start with you. this may be one of the biggest surprises yet? >> absolutely. we have talked for almost 4 hours. it throws a huge wrench into the entire system. not just washington, d.c., where they'll have to decide what to do. but the entire presidential campaign pip think the republicans have made a mistake in the reaction to the -- the initial reaction to it. i think a better tack would have a constitutional duty to nominate somebody to the supreme court. and the u.s. senate has a duty to decide if they approve that person. the senate may not approve that person. they shouldn't say the president shouldn't nominate. i think the tack should be, the president has a duty. he should nominate. the republicans have a duty to decide what they want to do. >> does matt have a point? >> not really. it's such terrible news about nino scalia. such a giant of the supreme court. a conservative hero. i knew him reasonablebly y well. a wonderful man. the democrats defeated bob bork. whe
