hour ahead, cnn's nia-malika henderson, ron fournier, peter baker of "the new york times" and jackie kucinich of "the daily beast." it is rare, we look at both races and we speak the three least-spoken words in washington, i don't know. so you look at this as a classic case in both races. and let's start with the republicans. passion versus organization. that's a cliche that's often used, but i think it's very true in this case. if you're in iowa on the ground, there's no question trump gets the big crowds. trump is intriguing people. democrats are at his rallies, independents, people never voted in a caucus. ted cruz has the traditional iowa evangelicals, the home-schoolers, a huge and sophisticated organization. who's going to win? >> you know, when you talk to trump supporters, they'll even tell you if they don't know if people are going to show up. there are people volunteering for phone banking or volunteering to take lists and they're not getting any lists. you're absolutely right. it is nontraditional, and trump may be relying on his celebrity to get people out. when you look at some o

abc news political director rick klein and from the daily beast jackie kucinich. y, jackie, this was issued from the white house tonight. immediate release what's going on. it says new executive actions, not orders. do you want to tell us the difference? >> the executive order is more of a directive and my understanding is, it can be overturned by the courts. executive actions cannot. >> so, in other words, an executive action a, rick, as i would say is executive order-light? >> a little bit lighter a little less binding. about enforcing the laws and interpreting the laws. what he is saying in these actions is he is going to have his atf, his alcohol, tobacco and firearms department say that gun shows are going to be subject to the same kind of regulation are as regular gun sales. so closing the gun show loophole in essence. taking over a very small thing. he has acknowledged there is very sharp limits what he can do. he has been scouring federal legislation anything can he do to find power, talking to his lawyers about it. this is just around the margins. these ar

henderson, ron fournier, ron baker and jackie kucinich. let's start there. bernie sanders needs the high turnout. even the president said, peter, in his interview with politico, bernie sanders is not barack obama. then he had to have a meeting with bernie sanders. >> just to confirm that he wasn't barack obama. >> they put his thumb on the scale, and he is not. >> but he kind of put his thumb on the scale for hillary clinton, and then he pulled it off and had a meeting with bernie sanders. to sanders' point, if you look at any data -- some people don't trust polling. this is in every single poll. if you have a younger crowd, if he turns out younger people like obama did, if he turns out independents like obama did, if he gets an influx of a lot of new voters who have never caucused before like obama did, that's the recipe. >> well, and how unlikely that this accept tseptogenarian from would suddenly be obama who was this rock star young guy and came out of nowhere. it's a very different profile and he's targeting the same constituencies. every democratic --

. >> the "on the record" political panel is here from the daily beast, jackie kucinich and from the hillb. stoddard. a.b., for the life of me, i don't understand why secretary hillary clinton doesn't go after bernie sanders for what has done. he is the big promiser in chief. this issue in the "new york times" about the women. >> well, she is going after bernie sanders. and she is saying that his promises are unrealrealistic and that the prospect for them in washington are near impossible. >> but even that's ridiculous. you know, if he could do all these things, what's he been doing since 1988? that's the thing. if i were the defense lawyer on, this i think i had hit the jackpot. >> it's not bernie sanders going after her on bill clinton's indiscretions. it's donald trump and other critics. and so it's still fills the space. and she is trying to attract millennial women. bernie sanders is beating her with young women by 21 points. beating her with voters under 45 under 299 point. those are disastrous numbers for her what they portend for the general election. she is running around trying

the "on the record" political panel is here from the callly beast jackie kucinich and "fortune magazineenior editor nina easton. secretary clinton drop seven points in one month in iowa. >> senator sander(&x> is winning the enthusiasm contest there. people are really turning out for him. this is happening more in new hampshire than iowa more women are going for him. that's interesting. she is very much in a position where now new hampshire is next to bernie sanders' state. that's a home state for him. but now she is potentially going to lose in iowa. she is in a position where she could lose both iowa and new hampshire. at the end of the day though, i don't think it matters because right fast on the heels of that comes nevada where she is 20 points up. south carolina where she is 40 points up and a slew of southern states where she will do very well. >> jackie, what i don't get a lot of the voters for senator bernie sanders and i don't mean to pick on him but they like the fact that he wants to go after big banks and do all these grand things and the first thing i think of well, bernie,

. >> joining us now, mark preston, cnn politics executive editor and jackie kucinich, senior politics editor for the daily beast. simply put, what is different this morning than yesterday? did anyone change the game? >> bernie sanders finally learned how to debate, it seems like. he got there, he wasn't going to take the attacks that hill are was waging at him as we've done in the previous debates. his answer on gun control as an example, in these other debates he's had, he's had trouble coming back at hillary clinton and this time he had an answer and he sort of made it a nonissue which is a huge improvement in his skills, just that issue alone. >> mark, do you think aside from the tonal shift anybody was able to move the needle? >> no. if you were to step back and say who won or lost, i think bernie sanders won last night. he was able to effectively deal with the gun issue. he felt back against the criticisms of health care and delivered this populous message that's extremely important in this democratic primary. hillary clinton didn't necessarily have a bad night but she didn't win
