tuesday, the last competitive democratic primary, clinton and obama were neck and neck. 1988, al gore and jesse jackson were neck and neck. this is a little different dynamic with regards to hillary clinton. >> clinton does seem to be widening her lead over the bernie sanders, in south carolina winning by double digits. he has continued to raise a lot of money from individual donors. he raised as much money last month as he that during his whole campaign. what is the must ore win for sanders today? he's going to win vermont, what about massachusetts, colorado. >> what is the delegate count that he needs, i'm putting that at 45%. if he gets 45%, he's in fine shape, less than 40, i think he says kind of out of it. minnesota, massachusetts and colorado, now he needs to win at least one of those. of those three, the most important by far is massachusetts. it's a neighboring state, so should be the easiest, although elizabeth warren who is a kindred spirit that stayed out of the race and hillary clinton has been working hard there. if she beats him there, that is not good for bernie sanders, but min

jesse venture what was a popular governor for a little while. times have changed. a whole bunch of things have happened. he was pretty popular. i remember back in 2000, i was covering al gore'smpaign and he was appearing with jesse ventura because he thought it would help him. you know, it sort of -- as i said, any chance and any opportunity marco rubio is getting at taking a whack at donald trump, it seems as though the kind of personal insults and the you know vulgar jokes, that's one thing. maybe it's his way of getting attention. it's the specifics that he's hitting trump on. the way he unloaded his campaign's opposition research book starting last thursday at our debate and continuing. that is probably going to have the most effect, if any. i underline if any. >> right, but didn't this whole notion of, hey, you'd be electing a celebrity argument, didn't john mccain, david, didn't john mccain use that against obama in '08? >> i think it was literally one of the names of his ads was called celebrity. he tried very hard to take all the huge crowds that barack obama was getting when he went on his europe trip to berlin. >> yes. >> that added to this notion of celebrity and

the southern governors hung their hopes on al gore, but he split votes with jesse jackson, but that led michael dukakis to first place finishes in texas and florida, and he became the nominee. >> the unintended consequences of reform. their plan didn't work, pure and simple. i think they were surprised that gore didn't do better than he did, and that weren't too keen on michael dukakis, who was boosted at least as much by super tuesday as any other candidate. >> brangham: since then, super tuesday and the momentum that comes with it has been a good predictor of eventual party nominees. >> i think the only tuesday more super than this tuesday will be tuesday november 5. that's going to be super. >> brangham: in 1996, then- republican senator bob dole swept the field and forced his then-rival businessman steve forbes to withdraw two days after their super tuesday matchup. and in 2000, then-vice president gore did the same, with 81% of democratic delegates up for grabs on super tuesday, he effectively locked up the nomination. >> ifill: gore's victory was a sweet one. he swept all 11 prima

al gore had run that year, he was the good looking candidate and jesse jackson.key business with the girl friend on the boat and everything. and then he was painted as the liberal, the willy horton ad that got used against him. >> do you remember the "i am somebody" speech from jesse jackson? we should play that at some point. one of the most inspiring and memorable speeches ever. >> the fact is we don't give jesse jackson i think enough credit. everyone talks about the bridge in selma paving the way for barack obama, but jesse jackson had the chutzpah in 1988 to run and do well, a serious contender. >> mike dukakis spoke to wolf blitzer today. here's what he had to say about donald trump. >> look, he's the grandson of german immigrants. he ought to be ashamed of himself. i'm very proud of my background and i'm sure you are and as others of us are. this is a guy who is a grandson of somebody who came over from germany and i don't know what he's talking about. >> i can't imagine donald trump cares much about at that. >> no. the problem is he abandoned the world li

al gore and jesse jackson basically split the super tuesday southern vote, and a new england liberal,ists to this super tuesday. on the left, candidates are struggling to look more and more progress, in juxtaposition to the point for a democratic super tuesday. and on the right, it was the republicans who wanted to shorten the calendar of delegate selections sob the front-runner could clinch things a tad earlier. and it was southern conservatives who got together to try to bound and have one day where they could influence the conservative tilt of the nomination process. but, of course, nobody saw donald trump coming. and if he wins the lion's share of delegates tonight, well, like they say in the soaps, to be continued. most new wealth flows it's called a rigged economy, and this is how it works. to the top 1%. it's a system held in place by corrupt politics where wall street banks and billionaires buy elections. my campaign is powered by millions of small contributions. people like you who want to fight back. the truth is you can't change a corrupt system by taking its money. i'm ber
