rendell did -- went on to a big victory.nd we'll have to see about governor wolf, who's been -- >> but isn't it interesting that wolf, on the one hand, jeff, was elected as a reformer, if you will -- sort of an anti-corbett, somebody that's gonna get it done, a businessman? he knows how to make people come together and get that deal signed at the end of the day. and now we sort of, for different reasons, have dissatisfaction with him, as well. >> yeah, and that's amongst democrats as well as republicans. at the end of the day, schools are starving, nonprofit organizations are starving, and they're not gonna say, "well" -- they can say, "we believe what governor wolf wants, but at the end of the day, he's got to come to the table and provide funds, as well." >> but you have to remember, at the same time, the republicans in the house reached 120. >> mm-hmm. >> no par-- i mean, you have to go back to eisenhower to find 120 lawmakers from either chamber. republicans picked up three seats in the senate. so, what was going on was

let's talk first to you, ed rendell, about the democratic debate we experienced here last night. it's really a mark of how close this race has become and how surprising the surge of bernie sanders has been in iowa, in particular, that hillary clinton is really taking off the gloves. >> yeah. no question about it. let me start by saying i thought you and lester did a great job handling the debate. i thought the questions were good and the follow-ups were excellent. the debate tone, although it was contentious, it was contentious over issues. much different than most of the republican debates which have been contentious over personalities. i think it is symbolic of the close nature of the race. i think hillary clinton scored some points on certainly the gun issue to lay out all the litany of things that bernie sanders has supported that were nra supported legislation. on the other hand, i think bernie sanders did a terrific job in taking virtually every question and going back to his basic premise, that it's about income inequality and campaign financing. it almost sounded like a b

. >> i've heard -- in fact, "the new york times" today has this report that they talked to ed rendell, the former governor of pennsylvania and lifelong democrat. he said i would consider voting for him. how would that shake it up? would it hurt democrats or republicans nor? >> i think it depends who the candidate is. if donald trump is running i think michael bloomberg takes away from him. if it's hillary versus donald i think he takes away from both of them. it's difficult to run as a third-party candidate. he doesn't necessarily have a name that people outside of the tri-state area in new york know him one way or another. nobody gets into a presidential race just to prove a point. he would be in it to win it so he would be spending all of that money and try to get on the ballot on all 50 states. >> you don't think it's possible? >> i don't think it's possible. >> we will wait and see. he said is he making a decision in march so don't know if it will happen. donald trump. we were laughing when we saw the sound bite. i'm laughing just because you never know what is going to come out o

governor rendell, what is your take on that debate last night? was there any game-changing moment, or did pretty much we see this as a three-person race going in and three-person race going out with marco rubio now in that third slot? >> i think that's basically correct, tamron. i think donald trump did well. i think it was his best debate performance, and he drl own that new york values moment. i thought he was even a little emotional, and i thought it was in some ways a very touching answer. ted cruz did very well at the front of the debate. then he got in it with rubio, and i think that was less good for him. rubio i thought was okay, but i thought the winner probably was donald trump. and remember, what donald trump those do is win iowa. he doesn't have to win iowa big, but if he wins iowa, he'll win new hampshire big and he'll win south carolina big. and he'll have incredible momentum. someone needs to beat him somewhere in the first four states. >> elise, let me bring you in. you have, for example, joe scarborough saying this morning, if do

if you look back at mayors before him -- you look at ed rendell, ed rendell decided, "i'm gonna build,000 hotel rooms, i'm gonna finish the kimmel center and the constitution center and the visitor center and start the avenue of the arts, and i'm gonna redefine center city and the business district in philadelphia." >> and free parking on wednesday nights. >> and john street said, "i'm gonna get all of the abandoned cars off the streets. i'm gonna take the snow off of every street in the neighborhoods. i'm gonna refocus on neighborhoods." he went to be chairman of the housing authority and redefined public housing and got private investments -- schuylkill falls, brewerytown. northern liberties going on, and so he focused on that and focused his time and energy and resources, and if mayor kenney is going to focus on gentrification and growing african-american businesses and re-entry in education, he's going to have to decide what resources -- what things he's not going to do, 'cause you can't do it all. >> right. >> yeah, i'm concerned that the new mayor is maybe too much of an insider

governor rendell, you are still with me. correct? no. okay.ant to thank them for their time. the issue of donald trump, though, on the campaign trail and the one thing he was teasing is a big endorsement coming up. we've been watching him following him around the country as he has been talking kind of amping up the rhetoric and watched him direct a lot of words at the political rivals but one person or one group that's taken aim out now is apple warning if he's elected president all products manufactured in the u.s. speaking to supporters at liberty university on monday, trump had this to say. >> we're going to get apple to start building their damn computers and things in this country instead of in other countries. >> all right. so get them building back here at home. joining me is executive director at the verge.com. deiter, they're bold words by donald trump and come to anticipate bold language from a candidate like donald trump. is that even possible to legally get them to do their manufacturing all of it in the u.s.? >> i don't know about

former communications director for governor ed rendell of pennsylvania. welcome to all of you. >> good morning. >> thanks. >> mark, first of all, what do you make of these polls? >> national polls are important but not as important as what we're seeing here in iowa right now. all the focus is who can win the state, who can gain the momentum to propel them into the new hampshire. what we're seeing in iowa is the polls are tightening up for bernie sanders. extremely important for him and troublesome for hillary clinton. hillary clinton was hoping to knock bernie sanders out here in iowa and go into new hampshire and perhaps steal a win there and try to close the race out. what we're seeing in iowa is they are neck and neck. and 23 if bernie sanders were to win here and go to new hampshire i think race is entirely different. we have to get over these barriers and obstacles over the next few weeks carol. >> and chris, the town hall, did that change any voters' minds? >> i think what it did was kind of confirmed what people like. i thought they all did well. i
