iowa caucuses on monday night. the first stop on what they hope will be the road to the white house. iowa caucuses are ending a year long campaign without a consensus for who the nominee should be to take on president trump. these candidates are in two distinctive lanes. bernie sanders is ending his campaign there in a position of strength. arguing that it's time for major structural change and, in his words, a revolution. ee liz weather warren is touting herself as a candidate of unity. saying she can bridge the gap between progressives and moderates. of course, joe biden, pete buttiegieg and amy klobuchar making the case a more middle of the road candidate would be a stronger candidate to take on president trump. now, the iowa campaign will not finish the discussion. it will simply begin the discussion. 0 not to new hampshire next week, nevada and south carolina. will mike bloomberg jump into the race on super tuesday? he's already spending hundreds of millions. jeff zeleny, cnn, des moines. >> jeff with the reporting, and now let's bring in jacob with context. jacob, an associate a

. >>> while all eyes were on iowa, the white house expanded trump's travel ban to six more nations. this is america's loss. and i will explain to you why. >>> but first, here is my take. the prospect of bernie sanders becoming the democratic nominee has startled many people who worry that his brand of democratic socialism won't sell and would pave the way for a second trump term. this might well be true, but surely the more important question is not whether his programs would be popular but whether in fact they're good programs. it's time to stop grading bernie sanders on a curve and start asking what the country would look like if he were to become president. let's consider the topic that he argues is the single greatest challenge facing america and a global emergency -- climate change. sanders wants to commit the united states to achieving 100% renewable energy for electricity and transportation by 2030. this is a laudable though ambitious goal. the question is how will he go about meeting it. u.s. carbon emissions fell almost 15% from 2005 to 2016. according to carbon brief, the
