but you got michael dukakis so how did that happen?n my view that there was wrong -- the theory was wrong to begin with. in 1984 walter mondale, he got a hearing. they had jesse jackson ran that year. john glenn ran that year. but it came down to gary hart and mondale. the moderates had their say, they just cannot win. the primary calendar was not the problem. the other thing was, they lost to ronald reagan. anybody would have lost to ronald reagan. for the democrats to beat ronald reagan, franklin roosevelt would have had to still be alive. he was not. the thing to me was maybe a -- ill considered to begin with. you had a big field. they want a moderate, but jesse jackson and al gore split the southern primaries. the northern states added their states and dukakis won them. dick gephardt and jesse jackson and al gore siphoned off votes in florida that might have gone to a moderate so dukakis one there. in the end it backfired and assured michael dukakis would be the nominee on super tuesday of 1988. the law of unintended consequences.

we are seeing absolute failed leadership from the head down, as michael dukakis said. a great, old greek fisherman's expression. cindy is next in oak island, north carolina. independent, good morning. caller: hi. i saw trump last night. he really has screwed this up. i think it is a little too little and a little too late. hopefully it will help. basically, he should have done this as soon there was an outbreak overseas. they should have been making kits. i think the cdc's numbers will be way off. people can carry it with little to no symptoms for quite a while and still be spreading it. we just don't have enough test kits to know the accurate numbers, yet. >> "washington journal" live every day at 7:00 a.m. eerp and eastern and c-span.org. speaker pelosi: traditional in the capitol so it's pretty exciting time. day job antime, the always goes on, and today we're having to continue

as governor michael dukakis put it unsuccessfully in 1988 running against george bush, this is not about ideology. it's about competence. the country disagreed then. i think in this case we would certainly agree with dukakis principle. >> is it your sense of the feedback the white house has received in the last 24 hours will change anything? >> i think it's -- the president has been impervious to changing data and circumstance. >> yeah. >> right? so he does what he wants to do, and whenever he gets into a corner, he just keeps going in the sense of whatever it -- he carries on as he set out. he's shown no capacity to learn or change, and that's one of the tragedies of the era. >> jon, in the last ten days or so, you are the first person to invoke gouverneur morris, so i appreciate that. thank you for your time. that is our broadcast for tonight. good night from our nbc news bureau in chicago. >>> tonight on all in. >> wow, what a day. >> the worst drop ever in the history of the stock market, a state of emergency declared in new york city, major league baseball suspends declared many new

in the end it backfired and beured michael dukakis would the nominee on super tuesday of 1988. law of unintended consequences. peter: 21 states in 1988. it is 14 states this year. it has been a variety of states every year. they come in and they go out. carl: the party tries to control it. eight years ago they punished these states, michigan, you move up or we will not seek your delegates. come on? how do not see their delegates? the national party really has little control. they have tried to exert control. the national party tries to exert control for the most logical and healthy reason, the parties want to have the best nominee. they feel, should we have original primary? should we get rid of iran new hampshire? why did south carolina jump up? every year you have these. the states decide themselves. essence of the problem. unless you are the nominee. then you thing beauty of the system. cannon, with a case in 1980 and 2020 four massachusetts is art of super tuesday. but they're kind of like the kid in the back of the room raising his hand and nobody is paying attention. carl

super tuesday so it looks like it's working it didn't work in 1908 when massachusetts governor michael dukakis won the nomination but it didn't work for clinton and it may work again and save biden and save the party from going too far to the left with bernie sanders we'll see bloomberg is in the mix spending money some polls show the latest polls showed him actually winning in oklahoma but his half a 1000000000 tough for us in advertising doesn't seem to have bought very much a huge spend what are the chances that off the super tuesday this will become too with race. i think that that's likely to happen many people on t.v. disagree with me they think that we're going to have a brokered convention give you an idea i'm 73 years old all once in my life time has a candidate come to a national convention with the most delegates and not won the nomination that was 1952 s to ski fall for one the 1st ballot and the convention turned stevenson so if we come out of super tuesday bernie sanders has the most delegates if he can sustain that all the way to the convention and not be overtaken by biden he c

and in that election, there was a massive number of swing voters that moved from supporting michael dukakisall. i think bush was down by double digits during the early convention. when cdid we seeing in tiff partisanship. it has an impact in the clinton year. president wins two, years later, the other party wins. two years later, the other party elected. in off-year elections that seems now, what happens more often than not? >> yeah, i'll really glad that you're actually asking me the bigger picture question here because we get bogged down into specific election cycles and forget that we're talking about cyclical things that are embedded in long-term patterns. when we think about the 1980s, that's a really critical time in american politics because that's the full-throated time when the southern realignment was in its whole swing. we really did see reagan democrats who were ideological conservatives move en masse from the democratic to republican party. what we're looking at now what i call the polarized era which begins in the '90s but solidifies in the 2000s where mass polarization starts

because, back in 1988, bernie sanders actually endorsed jesse jackson when he was running against michael d dukakisnsley: i was shocked by that. steve: he said i appreciate it. ainsley: i was surprised by that because usually the african-american community is behind joe biden, not bernie sanders. so, because he is so radical and so different than what many of the church teachings teach and that kind of thing. so i was really shocked by that but jesse jackson won michigan back in 1998 when he ran and got bernie's endorsement. steve: let's see if that happens. brian: kamala harris got an endorsement looks like a hostage video joe biden is my guy despite everything i said when i was actually running for president. meanwhile bernie said when asked what happened on super tuesday? what happened to texas, california firewall? here's what he said. >> the establishment put a great deal of pressure on pete buttigieg, on amy klobuchar, who ran really aggressive campaigns. i know both of them, they work really really hard. suddenly before super tuesday they announced their withdraw. had they not withdrawn from
