nevada. and if we can win in those early states, i think we have a path toward victory. >> that was a raspy-voiced democratic candidate senatornders speaking minutes ago at a town hall meeting in knoxville, iowa. that town hall is still in progress. but the senator isn't the only presidential candidate who's on the campaign trail today. and tonight, his campaign says he'll host a new year's eve party in des moines. if you're in the area, this is your invitation to attend, posted on sanders' campaign website. it is open to all, free and open to the public, but you must rsvp on the website. meantime, hillary clinton's campaign is readying for the release of the latest batch of e-mails frommer had private server during her time as secretary of state. the state department is scheduled to release those e-mails this afternoon. >>> joining me live now, democratic strategist, chris cofinas and joe watkins, a former white house aide for president george h.w. bush. gentlemen, happy new year to you. thank you very much for joining us. >> happy new year to you. >> thank you. let's start with you, chris, if i may. do you think the clinton

nevada in the early states. what we know is that jeb bush has the courage and guts to take on donald trump while other candidates like chris christie, senatorubio and senator cruz seem to be avoiding the confrontation. someone needs to step up and jeb bush seems to be the only person willing to do it to tell donald trump that he's not serious, this is not a game. america has real challenges and he is the man who is capable of leading us forward. >> does donald trump need to listen to this in part that he should be seen as a more serious candidate that, yes, you can do all of these things and call someone dumb as a rock but he shouldn't be doing it? >> he is a serious candidate, erin. obviously the polls show it, the american people are reflecting it and, to be perfectly candid, jeb bush is trying to take on donald trump. he's out of the race. governor jindal is out of the race, he tried to take on trump. governor walker tried to take him on, he's out of the race. and jeb bush is now taking him on and he's now at 3%. so i wouldn't think that this is the best approach for him but he's going to do what he's going to do and riding along at 3%,
