Stephanopoulos. Tomorrow night we will know. After a season of surprises with unconventional candidates riding a wave of anger, will those first voters in iowa, just a few hundred thousand, will they tell americas establishment were through . In these final hours, the candidates all across iowa. Donald trump rolled into dubuque on his own air force one. Get out and caucus and dont stay back. I dont care. Youre feeling horrible. You have a 104 temperature. The doctor says, you cannot leave. It will be the end of you if you leave bed. You cannot leave. You will not be able to make it. Get out of bed and caucus. All three clintons together in cedar rapids. Thank you, bill. Thank you, chelsea. Thank you guys. I am so proud to be my parents daughter. And you need a worldclass changemaker. She is the best i have ever known. Robertson from duck dynasty. Now trump says hes not showing up for the debate with our man, cruz. So lets call old donald duck and try to get him to do the debate. [ duck calls ] and listen to Bernie Sanders with the indie rockers vampire weekend. This land is your land this land is my land from california to the New York Island and now the pollster who knows iowa the best has weighed in with her final numbers. Ann else issers poll for the Des Moines Register and bloomberg showing donald trump with a slight lead. Cruz in second, rubio at 15 and ben carson at 10 . On the democratic side, Hillary Clinton neck and neck with lets dig in with jon karl. Lets start out with those democrats right there. Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton so close. Theyre drawing on completely different universes. Reporter its incredible, george. Look at the generation gap here. Bernie sanders has a lead of nearly 40 points among Iowa Democrats under 35. But it cuts both ways. If you look at Hillary Clinton, she has an equally huge lead among Iowa Democrats over 65. Remember, traditionally, the older voters are more reliable caucusgoers. That could be an advantage. To her going into this final stretch. The poll shows the strategy of bringing out bill clinton. Reporter hes doing more events than Hillary Clinton in the final stretch. Look at this. Iowa democrats love bill clinton. His favorability rating at 86 . Only 11 unfavorable. The only democrat more popular among democrats here is barack obama. Meanwhile, on the republican side, donald trump with the inside the poll. Reporter yeah, trump has taken a beating over the last couple of weeks. Negative advertising attacks from his opponents. His favorability rating, unfavorability rating is at 47 among Iowa Republicans. That is sky high. Meanwhile, cruz and rubio are both much more higher favorability ratings. Although cruz has taken a beating himself. His rating has gone down 11 points in just a few weeks. And there is some fluidity in the electorate right now . Reporter 71 of trump voters will vote for him. Everybody else . 45 of Iowa Republicans say they could change their mind before tomorrow night. That could help marco rubio. Hes the top second choice among these candidates. More Iowa Republicans say rubio is their second choice than any other candidate. Thank you, jon. Lets bring in the republican thank you for joining us. The Des Moines Register has you in the lead. Are you confident you can turn the supporters into voters . Youre counting on a lot of people who havent caucused before. Well, i am. They say that the more people that get out, the better i do. I think well have a big crowd. The blizzard supposedly is going to be on tuesday, not monday. Or monday night. And hopefully, that will hold. They think record attendance will happen tonight. If that happens, im supposedly, according to the pollsters, in very good shape. We have a great bonding, as you see by the big surge we have had in the poll. In iowa. A very important poll. There is some vulnerability there as well. Half the voters in the polls say theyre less comfortable with you now as the gop nominee, less comfortable with the idea that youre going to be representing america to the world. How do you convince them youre ready to be commander in chief . Well, for one thing, i did well against hillary one on one. Ive beaten her in polls. Hillary, assuming she makes it to the gate, which is questionable. To be honest with you. Well see what happens. And i think thats a very important factor. I think the big factor, if you look at iowa, and this one, how well im doing with evangelicals. Im leading with evangelicals. Im leading with tea party. Im doing great in every aspect throughout the nation. And you know, we look forward to an interesting season. We begin we begin in one day, hard to believe. The votes are finally here. You mentioned Hillary Clinton. Ted cruz is hitting you hard on your relationship with Hillary Clinton. A brandnew ad released overnight. Here it is. I live in new york. She lives in new york. Ive known her and her husband for years. I really like them both a lot. You were at his wedding. I was at his wedding. Thats right. Is it like where you guys all pretend to dislike each other and then youre all pals behind the scenes . He says America Needs a well, you know, you need a dealmaker, too. You cant have somebody standing on the senate floor and nobody endorses you. Heres a guy with all these senators, not one endorsement for cruz. Hes a nasty guy. Nobody likes him. It will be worse gridlock than you have right now. Right now, you have gridlock. As far as Hillary Clinton is concerned, when i was in business, i was a worldclass businessman. I built one of the great companies. Thats what i intend to do with the country. Bring it back to health. Because its dying with there are 19 trillion in debt and lots of other problems. When i was in business, i got along with everybody. I got along with conservatives and republicans. I happen to have a conservative way of thought. I happen to be a republican. You have to get along with everybody. You cant just say, im going to get along with a small group because you wont be able to function that way. I get along. Even worldwide. I get along with everybody. Ted cruz is saying a vote for and theres a fullpage ad in the Des Moines Register. Saying in the last few months, youre for single payer governmentrun health insurance. Youve called for continued federal funding for planned parenthood. On that obamacare issue, right there, hes saying, because you want the government to pay for everyone to have health care, sthat just like that is just like obamacare. Look, ted cruz is a total liar. Im so against obamacare. Ive been saying it for two years. Im going to repeal and replace obamacare. I dont know where he gets this. He didnt put down on his Financial Disclosure forms that he borrowed money from banks at lowinterest loans. Lower than you or anybody can get. Hes got favorable deals from the banks on wall street. He never put it down. In his Financial Disclosure forms. Ted is a liar. This is why nobody likes him. This is why he doesnt have this is why he doesnt have one endorsement from one senator. Not one. He works with them. He doesnt have one endorsement. Does gusting. Any senators endorsed you yet . They will be very soon. Do you have anyone to announce . We have tremendous endorsements. Jerry fallwell jr. Just endorsed me. From liberty university. Every candidate goes through liberty university. He endorsed me. Thats probably one of the reasons i went so high with evangelicals. Sarah palin just endorsed me. Sheriff joe from arizona. The toughest guy on the border. Sheriff joe. The toughest there is on the border just endorsed me. I have great endorsements. Many more are coming. You say ted cruz is a liar. You have said you want everyone to be covered on health care and the government will pay for it. How is that not obamacare . I want people to thats true. I want people taken care of. I have a heart. I want people taken care of. If people have no money, we have to help people. That doesnt mean single payer. It means we have to help people. If somebody has no money and the street and dying im going to take care of that person how do you do it . And try to get them back to health. Were going to work with our hospitals, doctors, weve got to do something. You cant have a small percentage of our economy have no protection so they end up dying from what you could have a simple procedure or a pill. You cant do that. Well work something out. That doesnt mean single payer. Maybe hes got no heart. And if this means i lose an election, thats fine. Because frankly, we have to take care of the people in our country. We cant let them die on the side walks of new york or iowa or anywhere else. So but thats not single payer. As far as obamacare is concerned. One of the staples of my speech, and you can ask any of my many supporters, is repeal and replace obamacare. The premiums are going up, 25 , whats going on with obamacare is an outrage. It will probably fail on its own unless the republicans renew it like they have been in 17. But by 17, obamacare will fail on its open. A whole staple of my campaign is getting rid of obamacare and replacing it. You and ted cruz going at it. Any concern that marco rubio will sneak up the middle here . You never know. Its an election. I sort of doubt it. I have tremendous support. One of the things im very proud of is the number that you gave that my people are most committed to me. The people i have are far away, double, triple, quadruple committed to me. Theyre not going anywhere. Because they have confidence in me. I built a great company. Some of the greatest assets in the world. Low debt, tremendous cash flow. Im selffunding my campaign. Im putting all my money into my campaign. Im not borrowing from the oil men and from other special interests like ted cruz. This guys borrowing from people. Hes 100 in their pocket. Hes going to do whatever they want him to do. Millions of dollars from people that wanted to support my campaign because i dont want their money. Because once they give me their money, they influence me. I dont want to be influenced. The only one that will have influence on me is the American People. Im going to do whats right for the American People for the first time in many, many years. You know, mr. Trump, i was there at your announcement in june. Did the first interview right after. Tell the truth right now. Did you ever imagine then that on the eve of the Iowa Caucuses you would be leading pretty big in every state . The truth is, no. I didnt. I thought, im somebody that knows how to win. I close the deal, you know that about me for a long time. I do close the deal. I do win. But i never thought i would have 24point leads in different states. In florida, im 48. The sitting senator is 11. Bush is in the basement. Much lower than that. This is in the state of florida. I never thought i would have the kinds of leads. In New Hampshire, a 22point lead. Poll just came out. I have a five or sixpoint lead. I think the people of iowa will surprise. They know they know that these phony ads these people put out there, such lies, like obamacare, nobody is more negative on obamacare than donald trump. Nobody knows health care more than donald trump. Anything you could do differently . Any adjustments you need to make Going Forward . You always look back. The answer is no. Im leading in the National Polls by in some cases 22 points. And even more. I think its hard to say that i would have made changes. Certainly, i could have changed a word or two. I would really say, no. Im very happy. I have unbelievable people that will be voting for me. The thing im most proud about is, take a look. By far. You Just Announced it this morning. By far the most loyal people are the people that are going to go out and vote or caucus for trump. Tomorrow night. Thank you very much for joining us this morning. And were just Getting Started here. Bernie sanders coming up. And well be right back with Hillary Clinton. Hey buddy, lets get these dayquil liquid gels and go. But these liquid gels are new. Mucinex fast max. Its the same difference.

Will you be ready when growth presents itself . Speaking is hard for me. But january. Come january, i want to say these two words. Madame president. [ cheers and applause ] Gabby Giffords there with a hug for Hillary Clinton in ames, iowa, yesterday. Thank you for joining us, madame secretary. Thank you, george. Lets talk about the Des Moines Register poll. It has you in the lead. Eight years ago, your hopes were dashed by the surge of new voters for barack obama. Are you confident that wont happen again . Well, george, heres what im confident about. We have run a Terrific Campaign from the grass roots up. The thousands of iowans that have joined this campaign. Were going to keep working until the caucuses conclude tomorrow night. Of course, its close. Its competitive. Thats why i hope everybody who has decided to caucus for me will be sure to come out on monday night. You did have the surprise on friday. The state department saying they will not release 22 emails of yours deemed topsecret. You want them released. Why are you so confident that release would not compromise National Security . What do you know about those emails that we dont . Well, heres what i know. I know that this is i think a continuation of the story that has been playing out for months. There is no classified marked information on those emails. Sent or received by me. Dianne feinstein, the Ranking Member of the intelligence committee, who has had a chance to review them, has said that this email chain did not originate with me and that there were no classification markings. So i do want them released. And of course, i cant be clear about exactly what the reasons government as part of this interagency dispute to make this public. But, i would like to see them disclosed. I think they can and should bedy disclosed. From everything im told about your supporters, including tom vilsack and others, have suggested its political. Is that what you think . Im going to leave that to others experienced in the ways of washington to comment on. I just have to point out that the timing, and some of the leaks that have led up to it, are concerning. I just want this matter resolved. The best way to resolve is to do what i asked months ago. Release these. Let the public see them. Lets move on. You have said many times, the emails were not marked classified. No evidence that thats not true. The nondisclosure agreement you signed as secretary of state said its not that relevant. Classified information is marked all of you are trained to treat all of that sensitively and should know the difference. Of course. Thats exactly what i did. I take classified information very seriously. You know, you cant get information off the classified system. In the state department. To put on to an unclassified system, no matter what that system is. We were very specific about that. And, you when you receive information, of course, there has to be some marking. Some indication that someone down the chain had thought that this was classified. That was not the case. The final thing i would say, because clearly, the best answer to all of this is release and disclose these terribles is that, what im told is that this chain of email very well included a published newspaper report. That seems a little hard to understand. Overclassfying a public newspaper article. Lets get it out. See what it is. Let the American People draw their own conclusions. This is very much like benghazi. The republicans will continue to use it. Beat up on me. I understand that. Thats the way they are. After 11 hours of testimony, answering every single question in politics, which i had requested for months, its clear that theyre grasping at straws. This will turn out the same way. You told my colleague, david muir awhile back, that it was a mistake to set up the private server. This monday, you said there was no error in judgment. How you to square those two statements . It was permitted. My predecessor engaged in a similar practice. It was not the best choice or i would be talking about what the people in iowa are talking to me about. The concerns on their minds. And be really able to answer their questions, as i have been now for so many months. You and senator sanders going here was he was on the stump yesterday. Saying this about your attacks. Dont tell me that im defending or protecting the gun lobby. Dont tell me im attacking planned parenthood. Those are inaccuracies. And we can do better than that. Hes calling you out. He said hes got a dminus rating from the nra and a 100 record with planned parenthood. Well, let me tell you what the people who work on these issues every day have said. Theyve said im the leader. The lead who are has taken on tough issues. Issues like planned parenthood, the gun lobby for years. They concluded to endorse me by the planned parenthood action fund. I was very honored to have that. Thats not saying others havent voted with them. They were looking for a leader and they found it with me. Ive been endorsed by the brady campaign. Event at ames, iowa, i was endorsed by Gabby Giffords and her husband, mark kelly. They believe im the leader they want to stand up to the gun lobby. The same with the human rights campaign. They concluded i was the leader to protect and advance the cause and the rights of the lgbt community. Now, that is just the facts. People who know us, who know what they want in the next president have sided with me. And im very proud of that. You just mentioned theyre going to be hitting you with the email issue. The republicans are clearly going to hit Bernie Sanders with the fact that hes a democratic socialist if he gets the nomination. Some of your supporters concerned about that. Senator Claire Mccaskill said they cant wait to run an ad with a hammer and a sickle. Steny hoyer. Congressman hoyer saying, he calls himself a socialist. I dont think that is a good title to have to run for the president of the United States. Is that what you think . Will the fact that hes a democratic socialist make it harder for democrats to win in november . Well, that certainly is what a lot of Democratic Leaders are saying. And i take them at their word. They know the country. They know we have to take back the senate. They want to make advances in the house as well as at governor and legislature levels across the country. Heres what i think. I think i have been subjected, as you know so well, to years of scrutiny, and i still standing. Talking to you. In the lead here in iowa. For the caucuses. And going on after that. And, its a very tough gauntlet to run. And if there are issues that republicans and their allies on the right believe they can use to bring down a democrat, theyre going to use it. I feel vetted. I feel ready. I feel strong. And i think im the best person to be the nominee and defeat whoever they nominate in november. Finally, i wonder what your response is to this quote from your old friend, robert reich. He said, youre the most qualified candidate for the political system we now have. But Bernie Sanders is the most qualified candidate to create have. How do you respond to that . Well, look. Im a progressive who thinks its important to make progress. Thats what ive done my entire life. Thats what i will do as president. Obviously, i have big goals. I want to get to universal coverage. I want to get the economy working for everybody. Not just those at the top. Get incomes rising. Get women equal pay. Raise the minimum wage. A renaissance in manufacturing. Move toward clean renewable energy. I have big goals. I tell you how im going to get there and how im going to pay for them. I think that is what americans want. Im got going to sit here and overpromise and underdeliver. Im going to tell you what i know we can achieve. And that will take the political system we have right now. I intend to bring in more people, as i always have. When i ran for senate the first time, people didnt give me much of a chance. I won. When i was reelected, i won with a bigger percentage. Secretary of state, the i understand politics. I understand a campaign. Im focused on my mission to make sure this country works for everybody, particularly hardworking, middle class families who rightly feel theyve been left out and left behind. I think i know how to do that. And i think the voters know that i know how to do that. Secretary clinton, thank you for joining us. Great to talk to you. Thank you. Well be right back with Bernie Sanders. Thank you. Well be right back with Bernie Sanders. Seriously . Where do you think youre going . To work, with you. Its taco tuesday. Youre not coming.

Theyre not going to come out to participate in the caucus. [ crowd booing ] so how would you like to make the pundits look dumb on Election Night . [ cheers and applause ] Bernie Sanders in iowa yesterday. The senator joins us now. Smiling at your own line. Is that whats going to happen . Are the pundits going to look dumb . I surely hope so, george. The state. We have had town meetings and rallies that have brought out almost 70,000 people in the state of iowa. I think if working people and lower income people and young people come out to vote in significant numbers tomorrow night, were going to win this thing and pull off one of the great political upsets in recent history. You know, george, when we began this campaign, as you well know, we were trailing Hillary Clinton by 50 or 60 points. Some of the polls have us a little bit behind. Some of the polls have us a little bit ahead. You led me to it. Your announcement in may was one of the most lowkey president ial announcements i have ever seen. Im going to ask you the same question i asked donald trump at the begin of course the program. When you were making that announcement on may 6th, did you really believe you would be in the position youre in today . This is what i thought, to be honest with you. I thought the message that we is rigged in the sense that working people are working longer hours for lower wages and almost all new income is going to the top 1 . I thought that would resonate. And i thought that the idea that the Campaign Finance system is corrupt. George, you cannot appreciate how disgusted people are, whether theyre conservatives or progressives, with the idea that billionaires now are able to buy elections. So, i think that issue, those issues of the decline of the middle class. Of billionaires being able to buy elections while kids cant afford to go to college, while people are just sinking further and further into poverty, i thought that that message would resonate. I didnt believe it would resonate quite as fast as it has. You clearly have struck a chord. We heard secretary clinton make her case. Is, that line about your candidacy. Shes not going to overpromise and underdeliver. That was an argument picked up by the New York Times saying she has the breadth of experience and your proposals are not realistic. How do you respond . I respond to it by saying that every proposal that im bringing forth, is, in fact, supported by the vast that majority of the American People. The problem is is that congress is so dominated by bigmoney interests, theyre much more concerned about Campaign Contributions than the needs of working families. The United States should join the rest of the industrialized world, guarantee health care for all people. Make public colleges and universities free. Create jobs by rebuilding the infrastructure. These are not radical ideas, george. Paying taxes. Break up the wall street conglomerates. These are not radical ideas. This is what the American People want. The real question is, can we effectively take on the Drug Companies . And the Insurance Companies . And wall street . And Corporate America . Thats a fair question. I believe the American People are ready for that fight. I give you one example, george. We have received 3 million individual Campaign Contributions averaging 27 a piece. That is more than any candidate in the history of america up to this point. Secretary clinton relies on superpacs and wealthy people to contribute to her campaign. Thats the difference. The American People want us to move in a very different direction. They want government to represent all of us not just the wealthy. Thats why our campaign is doing well. Thats why i think we can win the general election. Thats the other key question. Can you win the general election . You heard what secretary o clinton had to say about the concerned, that you, a democratic socialist, will get slapped with that label and cant win in a general election. In terms of what people are beginning to get slapped with, look at the front pages. With what secretary clinton is getting slapped with. What is it . It has to do with emails. Our campaign is generating an enormous amount of excitement and enthusiasm all over the country. Were bringing large numbers of people into the political process. Democrats win elections when large numbers of people come out and vote. Thats what obama did in 2008. Thats what we can do right now. Republicans win elections when people are demoralized and voter turnout is low. I think there is no question but that we have the excitement. Second of all, george, look at some of the polls that are out there. Look at the polls from battleground states. In terms of wisconsin, New Hampshire, iowa. Sanders versus trump. Clinton does against trump. National polls, were doing better against trump. Will they throw the kitchen sink at me . They sure will. We have a lot to throw at them. The American People dont want to vote for republicans who want to cut social security, medicaid, and give money to billionaires. Republicans who refuse to acknowledge climate change, let alone do something about it. Republicans who are bought and sold by billionaires and Corporate America. You just if we run against trump, well beat him. Im absolutely confident that we can win the general election. You just mentioned the emails. You said in the first debate, youre sick and tired of hearing about them. The republicans are clearly not. Are you now saying that is an issue in november . This will harm her electability . I think you know, well, what you just said is true. Republicans are talking about. What i have said is there is a Legal Process under way right now. Im not going to politicize that issue. Clinton on that issue. I stand by what i said in the first debate. Republicans, needless to say, have a different point of view on that. Im going to, and i think the reason our campaign is doing well, were treating the American People with intelligence. Were talking about a corrupt Campaign Finance system, a rigged economy, a broken justice system. The need for people who have given up on american democracy to come back in. And demand that our government represents all of us and not just the top 1 . Thats why were winning. Were running an issueoriented campaign. Thats why i think we can win in november. In that Des Moines Register poll, president obama, theio right now. You met with the president this week. You have had something of an uneven relationship with him. A new book out by bill press. Called buyers remorse. How obama let progressives message from you. A more nuanced, lengthy endorsement from you on the back. Is that what you believe . President obama let progressives down . George, what i believe i wrote a blurb. It said that the next president has got to be very active in bringing people into the political process. Democracy is not about 63 of the people not voting, which was the case in the last election. Thats what the next president has got to do. I happen to believe that president obama has done an excellent job taking on the incredible obstructionism of the republicans. Where we are today is a lot, lot better place than we were when bush left office and we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. President obama, Vice President biden have done a great job. Theyre my friends. I work with them. So i think what we have got to do is build on that record and go forward and address the needs of the american middle class. Thank you, senator sanders, thank you. Youve heard from the candidates. Expert analysis and insight on roundtable is next. Tonight marks the first Election Night of the new millennium. And tonight also marks the beginning of the end of the clinton era. [ cheers and applause ] tonihaering victory is the victory of a message. That is conservative. And is compassionate. They said this country was too divided. Too disillusioned to ever come together around a common purpose. But on this january night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldnt do. [ cheers and applause ] the last two president s who rode wins in iowa to the white house. Lets talk about it with the roundtable. Donna brazile, matthew dowd, and democrats. Alex castellanos and katrina vanden heuvel. Editor and publisher of the nation. Lets begin with the republican side right now. Donald trump in front. Well see if he can pull it out. I remember when Ronald Reagan took on an incumbent president. And littleknown governor won the democratic race. Its as fascinating and impressive as that. I think right now, donald trump is the odds on favorite to win iowa. It totally depends, we have talked about before, what the turnout ratio is between old and new caucusgoers. T it looks like hell have enough new caucusgoers that are very enthused that i think he pulls out a victory. When he does, there will be a sonic boom around the country. A lot of people think, oh, the republicans will deal with that. Republicans will deal with that. When he wins, it will be a big night. Unstoppable. Several weeks ago, several months ago, you tried to get republicans to organize and take him on. Its not happened. Yeah, how are we doing with that . Not so well. I think matthew is right. I think trump is probably going to win iowa. Cruz is running as the candidate of moral purity. Right . The guy on the white horse. You cant get mud on your white horse. Hes had a problem with that with integrity. Hes heading the wrong way and hes got someone behind him who is growing. Marco rubio. Cruz has a great organization. This may be a trump and rubio race down the road. Thats actually the a tougher race. That is the hope of the republican establishment. Yes, it is. What lessons should democrats take from the rise of donald trump . Theres no question in a very antiestablishment year, when anger came to the forefront, i think Bernie Sanders has captured that. Very well on the democratic side. The insecurities of the american world. Bernie has really given voice to that. Amplified. On the republican side, look, im an old, traditional, grass roots type of person. I dont run ads. Cruz has a great ground operation. He may get the votes out. I may not be enough if donald trump can storm the caucuses with new voters. On the other hand. Bernie sanders. Hillary clinton has the traditional people. The people that will come out rain, sleet, or snow. But bernie has the momentum in terms of the grass roots people. The people who are trying to make a difference. Heres one thing i heard. Im not on the ground yet. I hear that bernie, unlike obama, in january 3, 2008. President obama had to depend on the college towns. But, the college kids were at home. Not at school. This year, theyre at school. And what bernie is trying to do is to get them to go back home. Hes got to get them to go back home. Thats right. Sanders. Yes, they did. I was on the show when Bernie SandersJust Announced. He has upended all rules. Hes shown that a different kind of politics is possible. Theres a reason 68 of caucusgoers believe a rigged system in the country that benefits only the rich and powerful is the preeminent issue of our time. Hes electrified the young people. Hes leading in iowa, i think, 74 among young people. Hes shown that the media has done some malpractice. Last summer, obsessive coverage of donald trump. Bernie sanders was bringing young people in to rallies. There was so little coverage. He brought in millions of contributions. Small dollars. Taking on the biggest fund raszing operation we have seen with the clinton people. You 2kiddid endorse hillary, right . Im just checking. One of the things bernie said is his ideas are not radical. I think a lot of the media has tried to marginalize him. And police the parameters of what is possible. These issues, if people can look beyond the label. Hes a new dealer. Lets test it. Run the Republican Campaign against sanders. Bernie is woodstock. Hes running a 60s fantasy camp for liberals. Medicare for all. To run bac oh, my god. Social security. Affordable college. Decent pensions. Dignity. Dignity. A company bankrupted by those ideas. Thats hillarys problem. By the way. The hard part for hillary is shes trying to murder the 60s. Shes running the Richard Nixon campaign against the democratic she has learned the lessons of the last campaign. Clearly in iowa, this time around, much more organized than in 2008. She saw the loss. It caught up with her in a surprise at the end. I still think Hillary Clinton is a status quo politician in the course of this. Thats why i think Bernie Sanders may be a stronger general election candidate than Hillary Clinton. Campaign, just like jeb bushs campaign, not doing well at all, but she still hasnt let go of the status quo, im going to do everything i can, not saying anything that will offend anybody. Not at a time when people want passion. They want aspiration. Bernie sanders right now is the only one on the democratic side who is aspirational. Donald trump right now is the only one of the republican side that basically says, im going im fascinated. 20 years. Well, bernie has served in washington for 25 years. Thats not the point. I think she has brought in the kind of campaign the democrats are comfortable with. Theyre comfortable with a candidate who can put out bold opportunity to pass congress. She knows how to do it. Look, again, this is a nontraditional year. Nobody, im not betting my lunch money on the watching Hillary Clinton run candidate is like watching Charles Barkley swing a golf club. It does not come naturally to her. She is what the Democratic Party is. Thats why Bernie Sanders s a come our way. And she cant. The nation is not a monolith. We did endorse Bernie Sanders. I support Hillary Clinton. Shes responded to the populace temper of the time. Bernie sanders has forced issues on to the agenda of the debate that might not have otherwise been there. I agree with that. And Hillary Clinton has responded. Shes been a great defender of womens rights. And shes moved. I do think we need to step back. Bernie sanders, all the policing, ive seen by liberal commentators in the last week or two about how hes not electable, i think matthew dowd just put that to rest. But i also think we need to step back. This is a country of a rising american i believe it. I would rather be Bernie Sanders running again donald trump than Hillary Clinton running. Look at your party. The Republican Party. Im an independent. The Republican Party is engaged in a suicide pact with its own party. If it doesnt reach out to the rising ma american majority of young people, latinos, young women, its going to i want to get back to donald trump. We talked a lot about Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. This is an unbelievable story. On the eve of the Iowa Caucuses, hes in front. Lets look ahead. Matthew dowd, he wins. Is ted cruz right that he cant be stopped . I think he can be stopped. But its a very outside shot. Lets just roll out. Lets just roll this out. Donald trump, lets say he wins iowa. Hell then win in New Hampshire overwhelmingly. He goes into south carolina, probably wins that overwhelmingly. Then you get to the a national primary. 20 states are held the first eight days of march. Its almost unstoppable. I mean, almost completely unstoppable. Republicans can figure out a way is if somehow, rubio surprises. And then he becomes the quick alternative. Then its a rubiotrump race starting in New Hampshire. So hes got to beat expectations . George bush, 43, said nobody ever bem feel worse. Thats ted cruz. Marco rubio is t f Republican Party. A different Republican Party. A great contrast with Hillary Clinton and a Democratic Party that wants to preserve the past and trap it in amber. If theres a little shot that if this is a trumprubio race, we could see the beginning of a better Republican Party. Thats the future. Marco rubios youthful exuberance masks regressive, old ideas. He wants to open the economy. Democrats want to keep it close. The only thing we dont know, donald trump has not hes left marco rubio alone. He left ted cruz alone. He decided to leave him alone he left ted cruz alone until the last three weeks. And in the last three weeks, donald trump has system atatically taken down ted cruz in iowa. He peaked too soon. At 31 in december, hes going down. There are three tickets. An old cliche. Three tickets out of a iowa on the republican side. Donald trump will get a free pass. He has his own plane. Ted cruz will likely come out. Marco rubio will likely become the establishment candidate. Theyll all consolidate. Come to him. And then 50 are chosen in march. Will the others drop out . Theres not much reason to unless they want a cabinet post in say a trump administration. Which some might. But as you go, what republicans are looking for now is who will be the alternative to trump, should he win in iowa . Which he probably will. Is that cruz . Then a choice between a dark Republican Party. Or somebody who wants to open up the company. Somebody who said yesterdays candidate wants to take us back to yesterday. You would have a generational the video you showed of the clinton rally i thought was so powerful. I thought that rally looked old. It felt old. It felt lifeless. Bernie sanders, i agree with matthew. Were talking about trumps chances. I think a lot of look back, were going to look back at this one and, again, see a media malpractice. That led our media to give him obsessive coverage, click, ratings, and look at tissue hes a right wing theres no question he is leading. Heres the question i have. I have interviewed him 20 times since june. Hes been asked every single tough question. Hes had every single attack come at him. Hes done things that would drive other candidates out of the race, in a heart beat, but why . If you want to we talk about Bernie Sanders out of sync with the majority. Which i believe hes not. Donald trump is in sync with right wing populism. The other day, he said medicare should negotiate with Drug Companies. Hes against corporations leaving this country. But his attacks on muslims and immigrants. Hes tough on immigrants. But hes also tough on but its not about issues with trump. Its not. Its about dominance politics. Should trump have skipped the fox debate . One of the things we teach candidates, moments of strength. Theyre gladitorial contests. We put you in a pit for a reason. Are you tough enough to do this job . Other candidates debated within the debate. Trump debated with the debate. Fox news is the most powerful organ in the Republican Party. He took them on. And it wouldnt have worked for anybody else. You know the basic bargain of america is if you work hard, and you do your part, thats not the way america is supposed to operate. I want to go to bat for them every single day. Get incomes rising. Get equal pay for women. Cut the cost of health care and child care so people can actually get ahead. Hillary clinton, she has what it takes to get things done. Im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. So look. Get out on monday, caucus. I think the storm is on tuesday. I hope. And you know what . Supposing its on monday, so you go through some snow, okay . Youre from iowa. Are you afraid of snow . Are you afraid of snow . Donald trump, weather forecaster as well. Lets go back to iowa with jon ka its a cliche. It happens to be true. It all comes down to turnout. They have out there . Okay, well im going to channel my own ginger zee. The forecast for tomorrow night. For tomorrow night, we expect passing snow showers. Temperatures at about 32 degrees. The heavy snow is not expected to come until after midnight. But, boy, is it going to come. Take a look at this. We have a blizzard bearing down on iowa. Were expecting about a foot of snow it is not expected to come untile. Whic turn outat all. It could well affect the ability of the canditeto get out and get to New Hampshire. For the New Hampshire primary. Lets talk about turnout. Eight years ago, barack obama had 240,000 people show up. It drove him to victory. About 120,000 for the democrats in 2004. The closer it is to that, the better Hillary Clinton does. On the republican side, above 120,000, all trump . Thats right. The republicans will have a record turnout. Sanders believes they need to get close to that 200,000 mark. Maybe 180,000 or more and hell be in good shape. Under that, hell be in real trouble. Thank you all for sharing part of your sunday with us. Stay with us for all the first votes tomorrow night. David muir will be live from iowa. Ill be standing by with our whole team to bring you the results as they come in. Next saturday night, the final gop debate before the inspect. Primary, right here on abc. That begins at 8 00 eastern. Ill see you live tomorrow moines. Rachel on this edition of the wildlife docs, there is no doubt about it
