iowa democrat party continues. we have reached out to the campaigns for help in contacting the chairs for outstanding precincts. we are not taking results from the campaigns. we are taking results from the chairs who are in these precincts. >> chair people, less people think they is about ikea. >> chairs of these precincts. what's interesting is this little on the way detail, which is that they have called the campaigns for help in getting in touch with the iowa democratic party precinct chairs. >> yes. >> so that's a little weird. >> in the middle of their top to bottom denial. >> they are suggesting that the campaigns know how to reach their presipt chairs and they do not. but the bottom line is they're saying the way the sanders campaign has characterized this, they deny, they say there is democratic parties staffers who are there and that will be the person responsible for reporting the totals. the sanders campaign casting at least the prospect that some of these unaccounted for precincts might be having their

this according to the iowa democratic party. they have issued a statement making it official. llary clinton has won the iowa democratic caucuses, but the vermont senator, bernie sanders, he still has plenty of momentum heading into new hampshire. he came in second. razor-thin margin. swroe johns is in keen, new hampshire. covering the senator's campaign for us. they're going to be holding an event i'm told later. any official reaction or even unofficial reaction from the sanders campaign to the announcement from the iowa democratic party that hillary clinton narrowly beat sanders and is the winner of the iowa caucuses? >> no official reaction. i have talked to a campaign aide who did point out the closeness of this race and an indication to me that they're still trying to get their words together, if you will. also, pointing out in earlier conversations while this campaign is asking to see paperwork about what happened in iowa, they're not using the word challenging the result in iowa. right now they have made the pivot hard and fast to here in new hampshire. you can see the ev

but the numbers are in from the iowa democratic party. the iowa democratic party chair... doctor andy mcguire released a statement on last night's historically close vote. in it, mcguire outlines that clinton has been awarded 7-hundred state delegate sanders has been awarded 695-state delegates. mcguire says.... "we still have outstanding results in one precinct, which is worth three state delegate equivalents. we'll report that final precinct when we've confirmed those results with the chair." of course....should sanders win the last precinct... it would still not be enough to edge out clinton.... but again... we're still waiting for those final votes to come in this morning. the race was so close last night... that democrats in some precincts had to flip coins to determine how to award an extra county delegate. it's a rare move... but a long-standing procedure. party rules call for a coin flip when support for candidates is even but a precinct has an odd number of delegates to award. clinton won coin tosses at precincts in davenport and des moines. meanwhile... iowa repu

iowa democratic party declaring hillary clinton the winner of the state democratic caucuses.s a very tight race between secretary of state and vermont senator bernie sanders. officials say clinton won by a razor-thin margin. the race now moves to new hampshire where bernie sanders as far ahead. on the gop side donald trump finishing second in the iowa caucuses, ted cruz and passed him strong support from evangelical and conservative voters marco rubio finishing behind donald trump with the lead surgeon hawkeye state. as donald trump comes in second in the iowa caucuses there's a report that is star on hollywood walk of fame was the face. someone drew a swastika overdoes star. los angeles times said soon after the chamber of commerce discovered the vandalism they cleaned up the star. donald trump was inducted into the walk of fame in 2007. >> alphabet unseeded apple to claim the title as the world's most valuable public company things to 4% jump after hours. the parent of google is valued at $565 billion, that is more than apple last $539 billion. of the topping at elected a c

he wants to transform the political system and transform the democratic party. what is so exciting here is, a, you see hillary shifting. you see her becoming more populous and supporting the majority of the issues that the democrats support and the too corporate white republican party have stood in the way of and you see young people getting engaged. wouldn't it be nice if we could not be cynical about politics and be engaged among a young generation. that is a pretty exciting potential. >> he has enthusiasm. >> can she sell it? she had difficulty selling this message which is why she is redefining herself five or six times. now she is a progressive. >> she was a grandmother once. >> a grandmother. a woman. >> she can't be more than one thing at a time? >> stop, stop, stop. i want to talk about the moment right now because the clinton campaign is declaring victory. maria, you are close to the campaign. they may have eeked out a victory. they are leading in the poll by 4/10th percentage point. let's take the clinton perspective. although it is small, how much bett

he was somebody who people, he had been a star in the democratic party. that speech he gave at that 2004 democratic convention. bernie sanders has none of that. he's known as this 74-year-old kind of curmudgeonly independent, wears bad suits, very little spacious. stop a patience, answer one question, be quickly done and go off. of course, he's been an independent. that is actually something i've heard from a lot of people i've talked to over the course of the last week about why he appeals to them so much. as much as we've were talked about how outsiders are resonating, in many ways that independent label that actually helped him in this democratic primary here, or excuse me, democratic caucus here in iowa, brian. >> all right, kasie hunt as we look at the pictures, we broadcast earlier, of senator sanders. characteristically pacing in front of the television. hoping stevie wonder works wonders keeping that crowd energized for the senator's ultimate appearance. and chris matthews and chuck todd. chris matthews first in des moines. >> you know i think that

the nevada democratic party released a statement today saying, "the nevada state democratic party will work with enforcement to prosecute anyone who falsely registers as a democrat to caucus tomorrow and subsequently participates in the republican caucuses on tuesday." the problem is.. the law the party references applies only to voting... and does not mention party-run caucuses. the one thing you won't see in nevada is this... a coin flip to decide a tied precinct. instead the casino capitol of the world will use a deck of cards. whoever draws the high card is the winner. platte county, mo fire tornado winds will finally die down this evening as a low pressure system to the north continues to slide off to the east. we'll stay mostly clear tonight with lows dropping back into the upper 30s. saturday will be a lot less windy with highs expected to top out in the upper 50s and lower 60s. another cold front will will shift toward the northwest and highs will drop back into the upper 40s and lower 50s..although this is still over 10 above normal for central iowa. besides a light rain/snow

this was not just any party, the democratic party, this coalition. it was a party that held overwhelming congressional majorities for 50 years with very few interruptions. republicans can only get something done by adding their voice to become provisos handed out within -- to the compromises hammered out within the democratic party, or by joining one faction or another. rights bill, or that effort to stop universal health care for instance. between 1960 and 1990, there was a great sorting out of the two parties along ideological lines. republicans became solidly conservative. democratics -- democrats became progressive. that also sorted out into a geographical sorting. republicans were in the sun belt. democrats held the north east coast and west coast. states like ohio and a few others remained up for grabs. none of this would have mattered if the electoral balance between in matters -- parties had not become so competitive. for the first time since the new deal coalition, conservative republicans could at least aspire to capturing the white house as

that is our understanding coming from what the iowa democratic party has told the campaign. , the sanders officials are quite sharp in their language of this. their language saying the state party failed to adequately staff some 90 precincts. and as you know, wolf, there are some 1,800 precincts across the state of iowa that make up the iowa caucuses. >> that's pretty shocking. is it because they had a higher turnout than they anticipated? is that the excuse they're giving for this? >> reporter: certainly that could be one of the reasons. but you know, there were definitely some questions about technology. there was this new microsoft technology actually going to work in some of these places? you know, we don't know if they're urban counties or there are some rural counties. i'm guessing it's a mix. so perhaps that could be playing a role in this as well. it's certainly one question mark hanging over this very, very close, too close to call iowa caucus. >> yeah. it's pretty embarrassing for the democratic party in iowa, that they failed to adequately staff what 90 or so of th

strawn says the democratic party should not go through the same thing. 10:05-10:19 one thing that i thought was helpful when the party went through worked right, what didn't and lets have an honest assessment of what needs to be improved, that would be my recommendation to doctor mcquire and the idp. again... the democratic party says it will review its caucus procedures. on the republican side... congressman steve king is defending a pair of tweets he sent as the caucuses were getting underway... they were both in reference to "skipping new hampshire and south carolina is the equivalent of suspending." the second sent one minute later read, "carson looks like he is out." king says the tweets were based on a c-n-n article... however the article didn't say carson was suspending his campaign or dropping out. king met with carson earlier this week to clear to the air... 45:41-46:04 we talked to eachother man to man, i told him that i regret that this happened and i'm sorry especially that it happened to him and his campaign, if i had it to do over knowing knowing what i knew though at the time

that's the closest vote in iowa democratic party history. so close, as many as six caucus sites, decided delegates by coin toss... according to the rules for democratic precincts-- ties between two or more candidates can be broken by a coin toss. presidential candidate "well, as you recall, my luck was not that good last time around and it was wonderful to win the caucus and to have that experience of all the hard work, the grassroots organizing pay off the way it did." clinton came in third in 20-08...behind barack obama and john edwards. the sanders campaign says it doesn't have a problem with the coin toss tiebreaker. 14:47: 13 folks that don't follow it as closely can get a little jumpy - oh there was a coin toss here or a coin toss there- you know, it's part of before it starts 23 but since first and second place were so close, the campaign is asking the democratic party to check its count. it wants to look at all the paper reports to make sure that the results from each precinct matches what was reported. the sanders camp says isn't qu

both in the republican and in the democratic parties. trump got 36% of the republican vote. sanders got 60%. sanders got 60% of the vote. granted there were two candidates on the ballot and trump had to slice -- there were more people slicing at the pie. this notion that they are doing something unprecedented is challenged by the fact that a guy who is a -- describes himself as a socialist who is a member -- was not a member of the democratic party until a year ago and a jew from brooklyn was a mayor of a small communist town in vermont through the mid80s and early 90s and gets 60% of the vote against the supposedly walking to cor nation queen of the democratic party. the democratic party is in more complex and questionable shape than the republicans. >> maybe the clintons are the ones who put it in that shape, right, devore? >> i think if bernie is the nominee more will lineup behind him than will lineup than if trump is the nominee. i think they are more broken than the dialogue that is currently happening with the democrats. >> i have been saying this all along. he laughe

it's irrelevant because the ohio democratic party has already censored him. he's completely barred to use benefits like bulk mailing. so when the top state party, the ohio democratic party decides and takes such a serious step against a fellow democrat, so i'm nobody to further that, i guess. we respect the chairman and if that's the decision that's come down, that's the we respect the decision. >> this was a paper he wrote in law school and ultimately the people decide. i say pundits, parties and prognosticators and polls likely don't decide things. the public really decides it and that's what's important. it's up to ben and all of us to win public faith and to win public confidence and put our story out there and to tell them what we want to do for them and ultimately the voters decide. >> i have about a minute left. real quickly for both of you. at the core of that issue is the question of the role of unions and the democratic party, and are you -- how do you feel about unions and the democratic party, >> well, the democratic party unions, and everybody els

>> right now we're seeing a democratic party that is as divided and as evolving as the soublican party has been, explosively over the last couple of years. the reason is democratic sort ofn has been masked, i think, in recent years, is because they have one party inhead of the president obama. but now that he's a lame duck, we're seeing the fight over the progressism. bernie sanders is trying to cast himself as the only true progressive in the race. hillary is trying to cast pragmatic more of a progressive. a lot of this is a debate over whether or not president obama done enough for liberals. under the surface, there is a growing feeling among liberal groups especially that president obama hasn't done enough, a lot causes, whether it's partnership,fic immigration reform. >> and this fight is kind of a proxy for that argument that's the democratic party. >> i think it would have been even more explosive if someone say, elizabeth warren got in the race. >> lisa lerer and doyle mcmanus in chilly manchester, new hampshire. but lisa, i want to ask you these democratic fireworks we saw last

>> i was not at the meeting. >> that's not the question. >> i think that the democratic party and labor have a relationship where, you know, if we can't count on democrats to stand up for collective bargaining, then who can? we've seen party line votes in west virginia on right to work. in ohio, on right to work and i think we need somebody who will stand up and fight unequivocally for the people who work hard every day. >> brian, what do you think of ben's position and have you read the paper? >> let me first say thanks for having us. and i think that what's important for me is my history justice, activism within the party and on the streets of cincinnati. with relation to ben's situation. i couldn't vote. i'm not on the hand picked executive board. were i on the executive board, i would've vote to sensure ben. i would've voted for the amendment for the motion that the aflcifo put forward. >> and why? >> because teach for america, of which he is executive director, regional director, is antiunion. and is therefore for the privatization of public schools. obviously, public schools need

it is one of the great accomplishments, not only of this president but of the democratic party going back to harry truman. the republicans are -- [ applause ] you know, the republicans are determined to repeal it and they tried 62 times just to turn it back to the insurance companies. senator sanders and i share the same goal. we want to get to universal health care coverage. before it was called obama care it was called hillary care, as you remember. >> i remember. >> i fought really hard, the insurance companies and drug companies spent millions against me. i know what it's like to go up against the status quo and special interests. so when president obama succeeded, i was thrilled. i don't agree with senator sanders that we should start over, that we should throw our country into a contentious national debate about health care again. we're at 90% coverage. i'm going to fix what needs to be fixed, we're going to move from 90 to 100, which is a lot easier to get to than starting at zero to get to 100. so we have a difference. i think that is important. [ applause ] >> i want you to

system and the two andrea brought up the fact that bernd isn't even a registered member of the democratic party and donald trump hasn't voted in the republican primacy since the '80s. that's how frustrated members of both parties are and victories for sanders and trump here, this is an earthquake that i don't think we've quite comprehended yet. lester. >> all right, chuck and andrea, thanks. we'll be hearing from both of you tonight in our coverage. for all the importance placed here in iowa, it's very difficult to understand what the process is inside the caucus room. it's much different than a primary, and there are different republicans. nbc news national correspondent peter alexander explains it all for us. >> reporter: as the sun sets on iowa tonight from downtown des moines to the sprawling farms across this state, iowans gather for the first in the nation votes. here caucus day is more like caucus hour. be there by 7:00 p.m. or get left out. more than 1,600 precincts in all, churches, schools, even a gun shop and a grain elevator. simple. sides and then write your candidates's name on a

>>pat: you know, one of the big debates i think that the democratic party hasn't had that it needs to have is was barack obama a good president? because there are a lot of democrats who aren't, who aren't happy with the lack of progress made under his administration especially when and the house during, during his first two years. and that's not something a lot of people voice in public because it's just too easy to go after him and say oh, you're saying bad things about barack obama. and apparently that's just sacrilege now to say anything like that. but there are a lot of democrats, a lot of progressives who have looked at the past 6 years and just seen a whole lot of gridlock and yeah, we had a democrat and yeah, they like obama. but he just didn't get it done. so do we need a new approach to get more done? >>amanda: alright. let's talk about super delegates. and about a minute before we head to break here. you had a blog out this week entitled dear clinton backers, for the love of god don't talk about super delegates.

so, kate, why isn't this -- there's a generation gap among women voters in the democratic party.y isn't the first woman president pitch working with young voters? >> okay, well, i think two things are going on here. the first is that when hillary graduated from yale law school, her class was about 10% women. today that number is almost even at 45%. young women have just lived a different experience and the facts on the ground have changed. and so i think they see that hillary is not their only option to represent them. but the second thing is that the threat of internal damnation is just not a -- >> you don't think that carries you over the finish line? >> i think that's pretty insulting. >> how much is it that younger women are just further to the left than the older generation and the democratic party, and therefore, bernie is more sim patco with their idealism? >> i think that's also at play and there's also a certain artificialness about hillary, and people think she's not necessarily sincere about supporting feminists. there's all this background with her. >> and dorothy, ma

amanda according to the iowa democratic party - 6 precincts that reported results with the app said there was a coin flip between sanders and clinton for the final delegate. and sanders won five of those. the party doesn't know how many coin flips happened in precincts that reported results by calling them them on a touch tone phone. amanda/3dtl bam jack: he won the iowa caucuses, but ted cruz is also having to issue an apology he won the iowa caucuses, but having to issue an apology tonight for his campaign falsely telling iowa caucusgoers that rival ben carson had quit the race. even cruz congressman steve king was spreading the message-- telling other cruz supporters on convince carson caucus-ers to swing their way. cruz said in a statement today that his campaign staff sent the email to supporters after seeing a cnn report that carson was going home to florida after the caucuses. jack: from the hawkeye state to the granite state. the battleground shifts east now as democrats and republicans take their message to new hampshire ahead of next week's primary. and we could see a lower-tier

we have to wait for the iowa democratic party. we don't know what is left. >> far too close. >> let's get a report from chris moody. he's in des moines with the latest. what are you hearing? >> nearing 3:00 a.m. in the morning. most of the campaigns have left town. as you said, no result on the democratic side. there's a clear winner on the democratic side. the popping of champagne. the democrats watching the results. no matter what the campaigns say, we cannot call it. we're waiting for the democratic party. as of the last update, there's nothing. however, we have spoken to the hillary clinton campaign on her bus. and they're saying that they believe that they have won. that they will win. but only by a hair. they said they had a large turnout, second only to 2008. and they argue that actually helped them. but by winning, remember, iowa is an expectation game. and hillary clinton was said to be this inevitable nominee with this huge ground game. and if she wins by just a hair, is that really winning, given how well bernie sanders

that's the closest vote in iowa democratic party history. their only other opponent.. martin o'malley... also dropped out of the race last night.. the party says 171-thousand democrats turned out to caucus. to secure her victory hillary clinton had to revert to the luck of a coin toss ... six times! clinton reportedly won coin tosses at six caucus sites to break ers. the sanders camp says it doesn't have a problem with the coin toss tiebreaker. those are the rules and they knew them going in. but since the race was so close, the campaign is asking the democratic party to double check its numbers. the sanders folks are asking to look at the hard copy of the results from each precinct. the iowa democratic party says because it isn't a straw poll or primary. in fact, most precincts didn't use paper forms... the results came in on says members of all three campaigns were there in person to be part of the verification process... 18:15:43 most of what was going on last night is we were flagging results that either our app caught that didn't quite seem right or the campaigns w

and have their chance the nevada state democratic party gave us a statement saying saturday at eleven a-m is the best time to increase access as much as possible for democrats across participate in our first in the west caucuses. keeping this date is critical to preserving our early-state status in the presidential nominating calendar. the rabbi says he doesn't think they're intentionally trying to leave anyone out- but doesn't understand why they didn't just change the day altogether after what happened last time around. today is new hampshire is also on a tuesday i dont know why they can't do it on a tuesday on a weekday like the general elections. we spoke with the state democratic party again tonight... who wanted to add... "unfortunately it is not logistically caucus. we have worked to make the caucus process as inclusive as possible by adding strip locations for shift workers, and hosting a tele-caucus for military members and registered nevada voters living overseas." reporting live ew ffn llv. a man was shot and killed right outside his home. and now police are trying to figur

let me define the democratic party. the democratic party that bernie sanders hopes he can create will include millions of people that do not participate in the democratic process. that's the democratic party we want to create. >> isn't it the case that the voter has a positive feeling about the democratic party and the person who sits atop the establishment, which is the most powerful person in the free world, barack obama. >> bernie sanders has been part of that as a member of the caucus house and senate for the past 25 years. >> is he part of the establishment? he's a sitting senator. >> he said no. he's fighting against what he perceives a rigged economy. >> this remembers me of definition of rich, someone who has more money than you. >> thank you. >> all right. >> it's wonderful to have you here. >> good to see you in person. >> i want to talk about criminal justice. that's something the clinton campaign is running. it's about the racial double standard. ben jealous was on the program on friday. he was talking about

how those precincts ended up. << democrats caucus sioux city :10 ben nesselhuf woodbury county democratic party :24 "there's 13 different locations for democrats to vote in woodbury county, but here at west middle school they saw turnout in the hundeds." through the front doors... nat pop down the hall... from one side of the room... to the other... democratic caucus-goers busseled around west middle school for the first in the nationonaucus. t's really interesting to see the differert kind of activistt that you h he here in iowa compared to other r states. these folks s ey know the candidates, they k kw the issues. thehetake their job vetting thoseseandidates and winnowii down the field very seriously," said woodbury county democratic party organizer, ben nesselhuf. after the final head count the numbers are in... precinct one, hillary clinton got 4 delegates, bernie sanders landed at 3 delegates. precinct six, sanders had 5, clinton trailed at 3. precinct seven, it was a tie between the two candidates, 4-4. in sioux city, tommie clark, ktiv news 4." >> because of the weather the iowa secretar

both sides of the democratic party will be enthusiastic about whoever they said. >> let's talk about in a second. sanders wins big among very liberal democrats. clinton wins with somewhat liberal and moderate voters. that means sanders is appealing to only one branch of the party, the very liberal -- he's only appealing to very liberal democrats at the moment. doesn't he need more than that to continue to be successful? >> of course he does. not only in the democratic primaries but in the general election. look, reality check here. only 11% of americans identify as very liberal. that's nowhere near enough to run anything resembling a credible presidential campaign. you need to reach out and win over new voters. that's how bill clinton rose after the democrats lost three elections in 40 states. he expanded the coalition. bernie sanders has a lot of work to do because hillary clinton has an edge of him. he can't simply be promoting democratic socialist policies to be a credible nominee for the democratic party. that's the reality. while it has been a civil debate inside the democratic p

the iowa democratic party saying it was a close contact with robust turnout. what does that tell you about engagement in this campaign? >> it is fascinating since the republicans had a turnout vote of 125,000. this time up to 185,000 or so. people thought if there was more turnout, trump would win resoundi resoundingly. it goes back to the point that organization matters. ted cruz had 12,000 volunteers to get the cruz crew. they were organized on the ground. that matters in iowa. the fact that the donald trump campaign had virtually no organization on the ground. it is reported they did not pay for the infrastructure. volunteers did not know where to go or what to tell the supporters which precincts to go. that did not help donald trump. i think it is another part of the story here that it was ted cruz who benefitted. possibly marco rubio. ted cruz benefitted from the record turnout. >> no one can take away that trump can fill a room or stadium. that doesn't mean though that you have any type of actual ground game in the states moving forward. if what we know,

party. his 21% that a republican, 29% are democrat. why don't we include the other parties in this discussion? to my mind, this is the problem with the political system that really shuts down the voices that are true competitors. they are only allowing people squeeze themselves in to the pigeonholes of the democratic and republican parties. there is a much greater diversity of agendas and policy platforms that i think would resonate in or mislead. in fact, -- resonate enormously. i wast, the one time allowed into a televised debate, in massachusetts in 2002 when i was running against mitt romney for governor -- we fought our way into a debate. it took place in a tv studio, and i gave voice to the kinds of issues i was talking about earlier. they were completely marginalized inside of that little tv studio. when we walked out, i was mobbed by the press he told me i had won the debate on the instant online viewer poll. which said to me oh my gosh, this will political thing as a scam. the system is quaking in their boots that people should

i'm checking as i'm talking to you, iowa democratic party and it's closer than we're saying. portant to note, i just spoke to a democratic official who said there is no recount if this ends up being this tight because this is a party run system. it's not a state run system like you'd have in a general election. so the final result as certified will be the final result. bottom line is that there is going to be a race. a race to see who can claim victory. the clinton camp is telling me they believe they've won. the sanders camp, undoubtedly going to say if it's this close this, is a moral viblthry for sanders and on to new hampshire. bret? >> and no recount possible? >> no recount possible. in a general election, something this tight might trigger a recount. it's not going to be counted. >> ed, what is the hold up? why don't we know what the final tally is? >> well, i am checking into the iowa democratic website as we talk. i've been told by some officials here part of what they're waiting on is the counties, caucus sites are likely to have new registrants, new voters. if that i

joining us now is the chairman of the south carolina democratic party.g on with us tonight. >> of course. it's great seeing you. >> so when i last saw you in south carolina you told me that you were pretty sure that bernie sanders was trying as hard as he could in south carolina but you felt like with how far behind he was starting with the african-american electorate in south carolina he didn't have much of a chance of closing the gap that black voters didn't know enough about him. has that changed over the last couple of months? >> i can say that senator sanders has put together a very good and strong grass roots operation in the state. they are attracting young people. the challenge still remains, south carolina is going to be a very tough nut for him to crack. it's not impossible but it's going to be very tough and you can look at the numbers from 2008 to get a glimpse of what his challenge is. >> in terms of what moves voters in south carolina we've received word today that the congressal pack is going to endorse hillary clinton. we've heard that th

upcoming democratic party events or candidate events. assuming there is no other business, will you adjourn the caucus. so hearing no further business, the caucus is now adjourned. hank you-all for coming. [applause] josie: we are not done yet, ou guys. ok. we are almost done, i promise. final caucus duties. complete all the paperwork. make sure all the new orleans that ask for the county and precinct are on there, documents are signed, and forms are legible. you are not going to mail the envelopes. ham letter have them drop you off to her on caucus night. we'll talk just briefly about what goes in each envelope. we have envelope a that will go back to the iowa democratic party, it's a white envelope. it has all the materials listed on it. it should be really clear what goes where. you'll put in the white copies of all caucus registration forms and the math work sheet, your surveys, i.d.p. finance envelope, and nomination papers for the state legislature and above. envelope b to the county party, it's a yellow envelope. you'll put yellow

[cheers and applause] at our rights to not come from the democratic party where the republican party or even from the tea party. our rights come from our creator . and the federal government responsibility is to defend those fundamental rights commit to to defend us. and all americans will continue to suffer under a preston who has set an agenda causing millions to hurt across this country come promise of scripture, weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. [cheers and applause] tonight, iowa has proclaimed to the world morning is coming. morning is coming from day one his campaign has been a movement for millions of america's across -- america across the country to organize, to rally in to come together whatever washington people down. and tonight is a testament to the people's commitment to court commitment free market principles, constitutional liberties and judeo-christian values that built this great nation. . [cheers and applause] when the washington lobbyist settle on other candidates in the race, when the media in one place set a conservative cannot when,

the delegate issue and the superdelegate issue was a huge controversy in the democratic party in that fight between barack obama and hillary clinton in 2008. it may yet be again between bernie sanders and hillary clinton and if that race -- if that makes this race feel even more unpredictable to you than it has already felt, well, don't worry, there's more to add to that feeling because today we also got news that jim webb might be getting back in the race. remember him? jim webb ran in the democratic race for a hot minute alongside linc chafee. lincoln chafee. i have to tell you that jim webb had basically zero impact on the democratic race for the short time he was in it, but tonight his spokesperson says that jim webb will be holding a press conference tomorrow at the world affairs council in dallas to announce something. jim webb ever since he dropped out basically has been hinting that he might get back into the presidential race, not as a democrat, but as an independent. and maybe that will have no impact on the race, but in a year like this, do you really want to predict that?
