outfront now, van jones and michael nutter, former mayor of philadelphia and a hillary clinton supporter. van, joe is speaking to this. the conventional wisdom is hillary clinton will do very well with black voters in the upcoming contest, but this doesn't necessarily bear out. bernie sanders has a history of supporting causes that are important to the african-american community as well. can he get enough of the black vote to win? >> well, we will see. obviously, hillary clinton has a formidable lead because she has put in the work. she has long standing relationships in the black community and particularly in south carolina. at the same time, there's a foot race on over race right now. it's not like hillary clinton has only strengths and no weaknesses and sanders only has weaknesses and no strengths. bernie sanders was a civil rights fighter. he marched. it was a strong supporter of reverend jesse jackson in the 1980s. his voice is now appealing to a lot of young african-americans. he has a shot here. i think the mythology that the black community is a monolith and going to march behind

also clinton supporter, michael nutter. welcome to you both. gloria borger and david gergen are here as well. amanda carpenter. with us as well cnn national security commentator mike rogers and last but not least jeff ery lower. let me start with you. donald trump's ground game. how confident are you as a trump supporter about his ground game? >> i'm confidence in chuck laudner who put this together for rick santorum. he knows his stuff and insists they have got their act together. we will see. this as donald trump's campaign manager said this is the super bowl for chuck laudner so i'm sure he's prepared. >> chairman rogers what are you watching for? >> i think if the snow can push back the newer voters, that would, you know, give one to ted cruz going into the effort. but what we found is and we talked to some folks on the ground today, they have never had so many calls in an election year for new voters trying to figure out how to get to the rip polls. i would argue if that continues and they actually show up, it's going to be a trump night.

turning to cnn political contradicter michael nutter, formerer mayor of philadelphia and ben hickler,t to have you both here. >> great to be here with you. >> thank you, alisyn. >> mayor nutter, begin with you. do you agree with hillary clinton's characterization last night that bernie sanders is engaging in an artful smear when he's bringing up the payments she took for speaking fees from banks? >> well, it's certainly clear senator sanders is trying to imply something, and then kind of leave it to the voters to fill in the blank, and that's been going on for some period of time. quite frankly, appropriate for secretary clinton to at least shine a light on that. what are you trying to imply, senator? i think basically is what she was saying. she's been very open and straightforward about how she conducted herself as a private citizen, and whether making speeches to a company or a group or an organization or whatever the case may be, let's talk about what americans really care about. they care about jobs. they care about poverty. they care about education. we care about our children a

michael nutter, supporter of hillary clinton. good to have you with us. >>.ed to hillary clinton last night? >> well, i think we have known for a long time that senator sanders, a, of course next door state senator has had a lead in new hampshire for some time. let me put this straightforward. he is to be congratulated and commended for his win. it was significant in new hampshire and at the same time senator clinton never gave up, kept fighting for every vote. we move on to nevada, to south carolina. so i look at this. we just had the super bowl the other day. in that context, this is the first part of the first quarter. we'll get through nevada and south carolina. that pretty much rounds that out. and then you go into a significant second quarter in this election cycle, which is the month of march. the end of march, more than 50% of the delegates will have been accumulated by the various candidates. so there is a race within the race, which is about the citizens coming out either in caucusing or in voting in primaries. and then there is the delegate award p
