i am thinking with 20 people in the race for the democratic nomination, what the democratic establishment is doing is essentially take a little piece off of bernie and say indiana with mayor pete, or pick off rural new york with kirsten gillibrand. every piece comes down and then you chip them away so when you get to the convention, there is no way bernie would get the 50%, because right now we are looking at joe biden at 30%. i think bernie would be able to eclipse him if a lot of these other people were not in the race. host: we will get a response. guest: two things i want to say. steve, let me say this to you ed c-span folks, joe the nerd is a smart guy who does a lot of blogging and he wrote this provocative essay a few years ago about the static nature of the size of congress. why, if the country is growing exponentially, are we at 435 it used to be a member of congress would represent 250,000 people, now they are more than 500,000. how long will we let that go? that is food for thought. on the issue of the democratic nomination and where it is all headed vis-a-vis the convention, i

a new poll shows that joe biden has surged ahead in the race for the democratic nomination in two thousand and twenty the poll shows that forty six percent of democrats are backing joe biden as the potential nominee with only fourteen percent backing bernie sanders and despite a lot of other polls telling a very different story the media has jumped on this one voices are now telling us why he's the best choice for the democrats and this is a guy who doesn't hate republicans like you see some of the folks on the website you mean for joe biden is that he's the most electable candidate for democrats to beat donald trump i think joe biden best chance of success is this sudden coronation remind you of anything hillary clinton is the best candidate democrats can put forward a take on donald trump voters in wisconsin think hillary clinton is the best candidate hillary clinton is the best candidate the media tells us that joe biden is the most experienced candidate biden is certainly the most experienced candidate i think hillary clinton is the single most experienced and prepared person who has e

the united states are reporting on the polling surrounding the presidential primary for the democratic nomination now recently of a number of media networks have come forward with polls that they say conclusively show joe biden to be the front runner ahead of bernie sanders however of people are starting to scrutinize some of these polls for example c.n.n. is citing a poll they conducted themselves showing that joe biden is the clear front runner in a far lead ahead of bernie sanders however those who examine this poll have looked into the fact that it seems to under represent the voters under the age of 50 the age group of 18 to 49 which is a rather key voting constituency especially for bernie sanders a number of his supporters are younger people while the age group of 50 and older which tends to not favor bernie sanders a strongly is overrepresented in the result now it's also important to look at a poll put forward by m s n b c saying similar things saying that joe biden was the clear front runner let's take a look at this poll they came forward with a new poll shows just 2 percent of non whi

are so i agree that the anger candidate can be the better chance he or she has to win the democratic nomination well i don't believe it i really don't i and democrats i believe democrats want to unify this nation that's what our party has always been about. it's always been about you. if you care to people want a president to add to our division lead with a clank fish a closed hand hard hard to demonize your opponent to spew hatred they don't read me they got president donald trump. i'm going to go for our country democrats republicans and independents a different bad. not back to a past that never was but to a future that fulfills our true potential as a country now some of the same people are saying you know biden just doesn't get it you can't work with republicans anymore that's not the way it works anymore well folks i'm going to say something outrageous i know how to make government work. because i've talked to pretty divided because i've done it i worked across the aisle to reach consensus make government work in the past i can do that again with your help we're. ok that was vice our form

joe biden and bernie sanders both of them elderly white men are the 2 top candidates for the democratic nomination in the year of $20.20 now regardless of their policies that fact alone has got top democrats crying sexism i think is just gender bias i think people are genuinely biased against women i think. young women do just bias and it's real and it exists but you have to overcome it's a female candidate amy clover shar has been accused of being too harsh stories of her mistreating her former staff members and creating a harsh work environment and found their way into the press now her supporters say that is not a legit concern that sexism and a coalition of women's groups has stepped up to say that the media's coverage of the 2020 race is the latest in sexism and gender bias now it's important to note that hillary clinton made similar arguments back in 2016 i haven't been shouting but sometimes when a woman speaks out some people think it's shouting democrats have been quibbling about the importance of women and minorities to counter trends so-called white identity tropez perfect white i didn'

he formally announced his bid for the democratic nomination in this video released overnight while you were sleeping. the big issue he wants to tackle is getting dark money out of politics. >> we need to defeat donald trump in 2020 and defeat the corrupt system that lets campaign money drown out the people's voice, so we can finally make good on the promise of a fair shot for everyone. >> bullock is pro choice and for marge equality. as governor he is for spending education in montana. bullock believes being a democratic governor in a red state could give him an advantage. he says he has the ability to bring democrats and republicans together, so with bullock now in the race, there are a total of 22 candidates vying for the democratic nomination for president. >> two more, two dozen, wouldn't that be exciting? >> thanks, jessica. >>> new this morning, it took firefighters, around 115 firefighters to put out this massive fire. this is at the blue diamond factory in downtown sacramento. a four-alarm fire broke out around 9:30 last night. when firefighters got there, they found heavy smok

i remember a lot of democrats cheering his nomination, now you've got republicans cheering on bernie ere, thinking maybe he'd been an easy mark, but i'm curious, how much does that strategy of painting the democratic party as the party that wants to bring you socialism, how much of that is dependent on democrats nominating sanders, or is that going to be what you hear from trump and republicans no matter what. >> i think it's fairly likely you're going to hear this no matter what. i mean, to be sure, politico is correct in saying that, you know, sanders and warren, honestly, like the number two most effective candidate when it comes to sticking on that label, just because these are the most vocal liberal progressives. nonetheless, if a harris or a booker is a nominee, you're still going to hear that socialist rhetoric, i predict. >> laura, i'm curious what you make of the polling we've seen recently. we had a brand-new one last night that showed joe biden, he's getting 40% on the democratic side. there was a lot of talk, you could see the poll there, this is the brand-new morning cons
