i saw you talking to your correspondent, katty kay, and it seems as though people can get momentum ifl there. many centres lost last time to hillary clinton, this time he is hoping to win this time he is hoping to win this time. and it is an interesting demographic, older, white, more rural. if you can win there, where they are a little bit more centrist, then perhaps he can do even better when they move into a much more liberal constituency or state. but of course, the other candidates, like joe biden, will expect to do very well there, and particularly elizabeth warren. each of them going for the middle to sort of centre ground, not to hard—core left, like bernie sanders. but i saw his speech about 45 minutes ago, and that man is on something, i would like to have what he is having. because at 77, he doesn't need an autocue, he doesn't need a prescription, he doesn't need a prescription, he is much more comfortable thanjoe he is much more comfortable than joe biden, he is much more comfortable thanjoe biden, the erstwhile front runner. it is interesting because, as a political a nal

i know there are differences, but i always go back to when the show started early 2009, katty kay commented on a "newsweek" color that said we are all socialists now. and katty said you americans make the worst socialists in the world. you define yourself by your work. you define yourself by your job. i still remember it over a decade later katty said, you know, the attitude across europe is, well, that's good enough. that's a day's work, i'm going home. in america for millions of americans that day never ends. they are driven by work, they're driven by success, driven by the belief that they can still do better, but, willie, i'm sorry, i don't see how bernie sanders -- i understand he picks up working class voters in wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. i don't see how democrats do anything but bleed out their new found support in the suburbs when they put a socialist at the top of the ticket. i could be wrong. i don't think i am. >> we will see. i mean, you know, he's done well enough so far, i think there are people who when they look closely will say, i'm not sure i want my private health

katty kay is following the story in new hampshire — i asked her why things have gone so wrong forjoeng at the top of the polls because he managed to persuade voters early on that he was the candidate who was most likely to be able to beat donald trump in november's general election. the problem is, if your argument is i can win, then you've got to win. and he did not win in iowa, he came in fourth and that has been very damaging to him and he's not going to win in new hampshire and that is also going to be damaging to him and are starting to say hold on a second, you're kind of old, the debates have not done that well, we are a little bit nervous that the guy who was looking super safe is no longer super—safe. in fact, i think we better look somewhere else. i was talking to a senior official on the biden campaign at length last night at the biden rally and he was making the point that look, we have not really been tested in the kinds of places the democrats will need to win if the want to unseat donald trump. iowa, predominantly white state, new hampshire, predominantly white state.

i'm katty kay with christian fraser in washington on capitol hill. democrats are red—faced today.rst big test in the election to unseat donald trump ended in spectacular, embarrassing failure. we don't quite know what went wrong in the iowa caucus, but we do know there's still no result. blame it on a complicated system, a new way of counting, a tech meltdown, whatever, it doesn't look good for the party. and for the president, it was all too easy. the democrat caucus is an unmitigated disaster, he tweeted. nothing works, just like they ran the country. the only person that can claim a very big victory in iowa last night is trump. we arejoined now by nick bryant in des moines. he is the only reporter left. they have all departed for new hampshire, haven't they, nick? yeah, they have. you leave town as quickly as you can, head to new hampshire, the next primary state and start campaigning. of course, things didn't go to plan at all here in iowa last night. confusion, a colossal sense of anti—climax, chaos on caucus night is the headline. we had the bizarre spectacle of watching all

katty kay? >> at which won't pe we come back tolt mika doctrine. would he do that?of course, he would do that. there's no limit seems particularly postimpeachment to what the president is prepared to do, and now prepared to say that he did. i think you know, if you operate from the maxim, that in the end everything is about trump for himself, he would say that this was perfectly justified, because he operates in this world in which his own ambitions, his own fortunes are really what he is there for. then sending rudy to ukraine to get dirt on a political opponent would make total sense, and now he has the republican party saying, yeah, you did that and we have accepted that. after this, he's got the green light to do pretty much whatever he wants. the question reverts to the democrats. democrats tried investigations, tried appeals to the republican party. neither worked. the only thing democrats can do stay lasered focused on november and what can they do to try to win the election in november? >> and cast a really wide net here, but there's an overall question i th
