the impact on the democratic party of the move for a center democrat.in the first two years of his administration, he moved left which impaired his ability to function. when he moved center with a republican takeover of congress, he became more effective. the story of the conservative movement -- i think steve point set out, but there is that factor that says where are we most comfortable. adrian: i think there has been a search for the center and the democratic party. i think that center has been moving right, where america is comfortable, moving right. there is an extinct parallel between the 1960's with the democrats -- a distinct parallel between the 1960's with the democrats and what is happening with republicans. they moved too far to the left, stirring up a backlash. the question now is whether the republicans have moved too far to the right, stirring up a backlash against policies that will allow for an natural readjustment, back towards the center. where i see the failure of a parallel is the 1960's, uniting around central propositions, traditi

you know, simon and garfunkel democrats are still a force in the party. f democrats. a feeling of lost promise of lost youth, that for anybody who ever experienced the 1960s for instance, it's a powerful ad. but i also think it works for younger people, too. right new, obviously, sanders is very hot and even cool among younger americans. i do think that, you know, the basic point is that these elections really aren't about the past. so for all of the nostalgia that this invokes and these very warm feelings for sanders, people do recognize that the kind of liberalism that he represents is part of america's past more than its future. and that the future is really about making very hard pragmatic decisions. even if they're hard to sell and make romantic and sexy in the middle of a campaign. i think over time hillary will be able to convince people in the democratic parties to use their heads more than their hearts. >> charlie cook, i heard that song since the day it came out more times than i could count. i never thought of it as a campaign ad until it was br

the alabama democratic party as well as many other democratic parties around the country have been written off by the democratic leadership. somebody gets a collect for $5,000. that's crazy stuff. we need to defend working people and we need to defend people of color in 50 states in this country. and one of the points that i made yesterday in alabama if elected president, we are going to have a 50-state strategy. we are going to bring new people, new energy, working people, young people, into the political process. that's what this campaign is doing, and that's what i will do as president. the way republicans win election is when people get demoralized, when people giving up on the political process and when we have low voter turnouts. so yes, the scheduling for the debates has been a disaster. we should be ashamed. as a democratic party that voter turnouts are so low. we have got to reignite energy in this country and get people excited about the political process and when we have large voter turnouts as i think our campaign can bring about, we're not only will we regain the presidency, w

average voter. >> the first president clinton in the '90s, that sort of alliance between the democratic partyung up. on that issue does she have credibility with democrats? >> this is other biggest vulnerable and obviously the sweet spot for bernie sanders. even average democrats use the word glass-steagall as a rallying cry, they know what it is and that her husband killed it. it makes a really good point. she was close to wall street, she is a new york senator and close to the candidate. nobody believes it when she says she will be as tough of a cop as dodd-frank was, in any debate on hillary clinton with this particular issue bernie sanders will win that particular argument. >> that is the exchange of why we thought bernie sanders may win iowa and new hampshire. every time this comes up, she has to talk about the wall street ties. he has not had a super pac. it is like this idea of these complex sort of taxes that sanders wants to put on the banks and the way the trading system works. the voters that come out to sanders rallies really know a lot about the financial system and really don't

i liken the african-american break-in almost to the democratic party particularly in the south where that was the only way you could exercise any power. it was akin to the acquisitions of block busting when black residents moved on to a neighborhood block and white people protested and moved out. these two parties were transformed by the civil rights movement and the second reconstruction and if you look at the election of barack obama as a third reconstruction that too was attended by a vicious backlash. certainly not as violence as the first or second reconstruction but just as deep seated and long-standing. we are in the midst of most of it. and some of the ongoing frustrations of african-american who are waiting if the payoff of 50 years of striving and fighting. i think we have many fractures in the book still. i could have called it fractures with an s because there are many. those between black american and white americans, black americans and the police, and white americans and the democratic party which played a game of pulling in african-americans and pushing them away ofte

>> because what i believe and what i was just saying, the democratic party needs major reform. >> are democrats ready for a self-avowed socialist to lead their party and would america elect him? electability is one of the questions sanders addressed head on last night. >> as secretary clinton well knows, when this campaign began she was 50 points ahead of me. we were all of 3 percentage points. guess what? in iowa, new hampshire, the race is very, very close. maybe we're ahead in new hampshire. in terms of polling, guess what. we are running ahead of secretary clinton, in terms of taking on my good friend donald trump. beating him by 19 points in new hampshire, 13 points in the last national poll that i saw. >> next i'll speak with one analyst who asked if democrats can afford the risk of nominating bernie sanders. >>> now, when i tell you all of this, i'm telling you because i think we can do it. i don't want to overpromise. i don't want to come out with theories and concepts that may or may not be possible. we don't need any more of that. what we need is a sensible, achievable agend

state democratic party: i think they will talk about nevada. i think they know our economy was the worst in the nation. they know a lot of people lost houses, they know we're still coming back -- we're not there yet. and so i think there's a lot about nevada that they will talk about. )) ((michael stevens)) senator harry reid is the one who brought all of the candidates together for tonight's dinner. he expects 15- hundred people to be in attendance tonight. so far, he has not endorsed a candidate in this years election. and he will also be in take the stage later tonight. brian, kirsten?

got together, the democratic party got together proposed a series of reforms to the process for the changes that was suggested is that if a state held a caucus, it should be a local caucus system. so everybody in the party could get involved. and that year, the iowa democratic party re-formulated their rules for the caucus to create these localized caucuses. now, this is kind of a quirk of history. what happened is as they built this new system of local caucuses. you have the precinct caucus. you'd have the county caucus, you'd have the district caucus and the state caucus. and then, you would elect people to the national convention right? they built in extra time to print delegate lists. to distribute proposed platform planks. things like that. and so they started working backwards from the national convention. and they said, okay, ya know, here's when the state convention needs to be. here's when the district conventions need to be. here's when the the county conventions caucus date then was very, very early. and that was just a logistical question. and so, in 1972, when t

philosophy because that's what it is, you strip it away, and that's at the core and the heart of the democratic partyhem in. is very advantageous to that party politically. all right? because my people came from ireland, and they immediately were enrolled in brooklyn in the democratic side. okay? people. the same thing is in play now. and the power base is in states like colorado, changed, new mexico, other states like that. the democratic party amasses power by the open border philosophy. that's what's really going on here. >> you know, i think it's very important to also emphasize you're the son of immigrants, i am as well. the fact is that he would have the first million draft picks around the world. this is the country everybody wants to come to. when you find somebody on the raft, in the south china sea and they ask where do you want to go? somebody who is escaping it's it always america. we have the choices. and it is utterly irrational to open the border and to not make the choices that we can. because everybody wants to come here. >> okay. but it's politically expedient for one party to do so

you dent didn't get a lot of anger in the democratic party, not a lot of fear. e people who basically think america is okay and on the right track. totally different climate than in the republican party. >> hillary clinton was so strong tonight. there was a whole stretch where chris cuomo just disappeared. chris cuomo is a huge force, and he just disappeared. that's how strong she was. >> don't tell him that. >> but bernie sanders showed america why he's surging. and i think he did a great job tonight. >> miss borger, you get the last word. >> hillary clinton knows she's got to win iowa. it's really important to her because her chances are not so good in new hampshire. if she wins iowa she can really blunt bernie sanders' momentum. and she came tonight with that understanding. and i think it really showed. he did a good job, but she really was out there saying this is my moment. >> win or go home. >> thank you, everyone. i appreciate it. everyone came to play tonight. all the candidates. >> three snaps for don. >> thank you. and a z formation. thank you, guys. or

but just the republican and democratic parties choosing their presidential standard bearers. the rules of that are very flexible. in iowa though there are 3 million people, only about 120,000 is the record for the republican caucus turnout. for the democrats it is considerably higher because barack obama in 2008 shattered records getting up over 300,000. having said that, it's still a state of 3 million people and it is a very, very low turnout because voting in the caucuses doesn't begin in either party until 7:00 at night. in the case of the democrats, any candidate that doesn't get 15% on the first ballot is eliminated and they vote again. in the case of the republicans they do it with a closed ballot, they don't have to do it in public and speak on behalf of the candidates that they support but it is an arduous, lengthy process. it takes place on a monday night, likely to be a very, very cold night next week. if it is snowing all the more arduous to get there. and to organize these folks is very difficult. 65% of the caucus turnout because it is so small happens to be evan

>> because what i believe and what i was just saying, the democratic party needs major reform. >> are party and would america elect him? electability is one of the questions sanders addressed head on last night. >> as secretary clinton well knows, when this campaign began she was 50 points ahead of me. we were all of three percentage points. guess what? in iowa, new hampshire, the race is very, very close. maybe we're ahead in new hampshire. in terms of polling, guess what. we are running ahead of secretary clinton in terms of taking on my good friend donald taking on my good friend donald trump. beating him by 19 points in new hampshire, 13 points in the last national poll that i saw. >> next i'll speak with one analyst who asked if democrats can afford the risk of nominating bernie sanders. be good. text mom. boys have been really good today. send. let's get mark his own cell phone. nice. send. brad could use a new bike. send.

buckley: all the candidates have nothing but praise for the democratic party. we run a fair operation in new hampshire and that is what we will continue to do. dnc is there is such an effort from the national level two control what voters have access to. the point you just made that so many have made, just a handful of debates and airing them when nobody turned the television on. what we do in new hampshire is not just about what happens on the ground. the whole idea is access to the candidates, that voters can have the opportunity to do the vetting. the dnc, it is not just they are trying to keep folks from seeing the debates, they have chosen to push her forward. clinton and the coronation process executed not just by debbie wasserman schultz but all the officers at the dnc, hampshire. mr. buckley: i am 100% in favor the answer primary has been that meetings and shaking peoples hands on main streets. democrats voting in the republicans. josh: let' trump, you cannot avoid him, especially when we talk about energy. people say he brings a new kind of it. given y

democratic candidates. we take a look into health care, foreign policy and tuition policies. sheila? just five days left until the iowa caucuses. and if you've never caucused before, it can get confusing. the party you belong to determines how you'll caucus. ktiv's tommie clark spoke with a democratic caucus expert. tommie, can you break down the process for us? the democratic caucus process is pretty simple. anyone can pararcipate as long as t ty're eligible to vovo by election day in november and if you've neverer voted bebere, just show up earar to register on the spot. the expert i spoke with today says it's worth the process because it's an an iowan and an american. << less than a week away from the iowa caucuses... democratic presidential candidates hillary clinton and bernie sanders are in a tight race for the democratic bid. crowd cheering. but, no matter who you vote for...you first have to know how the democratic caucus works in the hawkeye state.

democratic debate. more visible for this debate than his own party's. ting are they going to ask the democrats tons of questions about donald trump or is that just for us? interestingly, trump was not a factor during this particular debate for the democrats. remember the last democratic debate hillary clinton largely looked past her rivals on stage to talk about trump. that was certainly not the case this time. and trump himself was quiet on social media and really didn't tweet about this at all. jeb bush did, taking aim at hillary clinton. that was another theme we saw from the republicans tonight trying to hit who they believe could be their potential general election contender. chuck. >> hallie, you were right about summing it up. there is one focus the democratic candidates are having and it is a discussion on a lot of domestic issues. and the republican side has really become all about national security and immigration. and everything else seems to be down a notch. hallie, we'll check back in a little bit later, thank you. another big issue tonight

and i am my colleagues urge you to come home to the democratic party, the party that cares about you and your family. everyone is welcome here. good night, god bless you and your family, and god bless the state of south carolina. >> ghettos democratic state provides preventative many >> she also said while the state economy has improved over the last few years she believes is part of a national trend, not wanting to give the governor a lot of credit for that. given what the governor has laid out in the space, can she get it done teaching we are joined by political science professor doctor brent nelson. doctor nelson the governor has said no tax increase for our roads, reformed the dot, cut income taxes or sheil veto it. can we see rohs legislation passed this year? >> i think it's all up to the senate. if they can find a solution that satisfied all of those criteria plus fixes the roads, we might have something. it will be difficult for some senators to vote for any raising of taxes of any sort. >> it's an election year. >> the governor know that and she is playing this very carefully

. >> i want to start by talking about the battle for the heart of the democratic party. you support hillary clinton, many said she is running a pragmatic campaign. bernie sanders is rising in the polls and a lot of voters respond to his idealism, if you will. where do you stand on the divide between idealism and pragmatism in your party? >> i have been listening to most of the debates. i think hillary clinton has been on fire. she articulated her positions, she has been strong on her issues, domestic issues. she's running an energetic campaign, as she pointed out herself. she's been fighting the fight and has great credibility and experience to deal with the changes faced. she's been energetic. bernie sanders is a friend. i've known him for a long time, clearly has a lot more energy at the campaign. that may have not been involved in the past. that's good news. credited the situation now, we hope both well for november. we have more people out voting for the democratic nominee. >> you said it there that bernie sanders is getting a lot of youthful energy. i wonder why isn

there are very wealthy individuals who kind of represent where the democratic party, the official democraticnd to some extent still is. >> and what about these groups? i mean, the controversy over these comments, which as we noted senator sanders has walked back, he's been attacked over them by hillary clinton, the context was planned parenthood and human rights campaign, which i think a lot of people feel those are progressive organizations. they're not the establishment. what do you think about that? >> well, they're not really the establishment. and i can't obviously speak for senator sanders or about planned parenthood. but what we do see, and we've seen for years in america, is that the establishment, that is, the big banks and the executives and the wealthy do support a lot of non-profits and make the non-profits basically walk to the tune of the establishment. so there's sort of a chilling effect on non-profits and the media and a lot of other places because the establishment is so powerful. that's where the money is. >> yeah, having been a political reporter in washington, d.c., you

i don't know that the democratic party is going to send them to the back of the bus again. >> so if youoth can agree on her being the nominee, which maybe, david, you didn't expect alex to give you. but the polls do not know that she will then win the white house. only against ted cruz would she win in a match-up now. >> who's the one candidate who can stop them? hillary clinton, tested and tough to stop them, stand with her. >> the problem is, the polls don't show that she can stop them. a fox poll last month, clinton was beating trump by 11 percentage points. 11. that same poll was done again this month and he's not beating her by three percentage points. that's a stunning turnaround. >> you go back to this time in the 2012 race and you had ron paul in the statistical dead heat with barack obama. so we are 300 days out at least. when people focus in a head-to-head matchup when it really counts, she's clearly the strongest nominee that the democrats can put up. take the national security issue. she's got a very tough plan on destroying isis. tougher than this administration's. and peop

it is a vigorous debate happening in the democratic party. it could not come at a very interesting time as we are getting ready to head to the polls in a few weeks. >> alex, hillary clinton was supposed to run away with the race, and from the republican side, are you relishing the sight of some internal battle here as we get closer to iowa and new hampshire. >> oh, it is a sad day to see the democratic front rrunner struggle like this, but i will get over it. and no, she could lose iowa and new hampshire and still win. a lot of the bernie sanders' voters are not voting for bernie sanders. the last time a clipton ran for president, it was a new democrat, and said that the era of big government is over, and bill clinton did. the demt kratic party has moved left since then, and this is bernie sanders' party as far as the soul it believes and elizabeth warren's party, and the most powerful thing that a democratic party voter can do, and caucus voter is to not only ratify the hillary clinton nomination, but to pull her to the message. i think that

to the social democratic party?ld that help improve the definitions for everybody? >> i think we're happy with our present name. >> you've told me so much, senator chuck schumer. >>> up next, amy klobuchar is coming here with a laook at the president's legacy. this is "hardball," the place for politics. ♪ i built my business with passion. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪ and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... that's huge for my bottom line. what's in your wallet? why blend in with the crowd? why shy away from the extraordinary? why fit in, when you were born to stand out? the 2016 nissan altima has arrived. trust number one doctor recommended dulcolax constipated? use dulcolax tablets for gentle overnight relief suppositories for relief in minutes and stool softeners for comfortable relief of hard stools.

an r-n-c spokesman said in a statement "the hypocrisy in the democrat party while democrats tell latinos one thing and do another republicans have been building relationships with hispanics across the country for years.. and someone should remind harry reid that governor sandoval won the latino vote" i asked who senator reid considered the biggest threats to the democrats in the upcoming election... to which he chuckled and said... i dont know everybody kept saying four months ago that trump would be gone he's doubling down on everything and becoming more popular everyday so we'll see. hillary clinton... bernie sanders and martin o'malley all here wednesday for the event. reid says he's not endorsing any candidates before the caucus.. but will after. reporting live ew ffn llv. there will be more than 200 democratic caucus locations in nevada - which takes place saturday february 20th. the republican caucus follows 23-rd. senator reid... also shared his thoughts on the takeover of a federal building in oregon. how it involves members of the cliven bundy family here in nevada... and what's

o'malley: of traveling democratic party in, in various states at the annual dinners whether it was here in iowa or new hampshire or nebraska. and the two phrases i heard everywhere i went were the phrases new leadership and getting things done. we can't be this dissatisfied with an economy where 70% of us are working harder than we ever have and yet earning the same or less than we were 12 years ago. and we can't be this dissatisfied with the, our nation's politics where it seems like congress is ready to shut down our government every 3 months and believe that somehow a resort to old names is going to pull us forward. so i believe that our nation is actually, people are scanning the horizon, looking for a new leader who can pull us together and get things done. that's what i've demonstrated time and time again whether it was comprehensive gun safety legislation or passing the, the dream act or marriage equality. i mean, none of these things were easy, but i'm clear about my principles and together to do things that give our children a better future, that give our kids the skills they n

the democratic party think?hink what you are seeing in the polls, in fact, those people coming to bernie sanders. i will also point out to you, steve, that just yesterday senator -- former u.s. senator paul kirk, former head of the dnc, came out and endorsed bernie sanders because he said it's imperative to address the issue of the corrupt political system and supporting bernie sanders. and as to the issue of electability, what the polls showing us, steve, not conjecture and showing us that in head to head matchups of republicans, bernie sanders does better against those republicans than does secretary clinton. for a few reasons and one very important reason is that he is extremely strong with independents. if democrats are going to keep the white house, if they're going to take back the senate, win in state legislatures across the country, they have -- the democratic party has to have the support of independents. bernie sanders brings the support to democrats. up and down the ballot. not just to himself and how

so the nevada democratic party very important. it will give all three candidates the chance to talk about the issues our state faces. ((((roberta lange // chairwoman, nevada state democratic party: i think they will talk about nevada. i think they know our economy was the worst in the nation. they know a lot of people lost houses, they know we're still coming back -- we're not there yet. and so i think there's a lot about nevada that they will talk about. )) senator harry reid expects 15 hundred people to attend tonight's dinner. but you get your chance to impact which democrat makes it to the final ballot... by taking part in caucuses on february 20th./// ((brian loftus)) > all three democratic candidates plan to attend campaign events.. outside of the dinner. hillary clinton will hold a anthem center in henderson. she'll also tour the culinary academy.//// ((brian loftus)) > former maryland governor martin o'malley is set to speak to the economic club of las vegas tomorrow. their holding an event at caesars./// > and bernie sand

the reason why, to report the results of the caucuses in 2016 the democratic party -- republican party for that matter as well are going to be relying on a new app, an app that was developed in conjunction with microsoft. what's bernie upset about? microsoft employees for hillary clinton's failed 2008 presidential bid gave a total of $200,000. sanders and his campaign are worried that because microsoft has been friendly to hillary clinton in the past during her presidential campaign, maybe they'll be friendly to her as those results are recorded on caucus night. i've talked to democratic officials about this and did a big story on the republican app again designed by microsoft. there's a lot of checks and balance here and i'm not sure that bernie sanders' concerns are that legitimate. one of the big reasons is that when the democrats caucus, unlike the republicans who have a secret ballot, the democrats do it in the open. they gather in groups. if you're for bernie sanders you're in this group, hillary clinton you're in this group. if you're for martin o'malley you're in this group. ev
