How to enroll. Now decision 2016. The countdown is on to tomorrows caucus in iowa. Nbcs chuck today joins us live from the Hawkeye State with a preview. Good morning, chuck. Good morning, gus. Its great to be here in iowa. Turnout. Donald trump and Bernie Sanders dont have a lot in common but they both want big turnout it sounds like. You got that right. Both of them are being powered by firsttime caucusgoers. I think its a little harder for trump even though hes ahead. The first time caucusgoers, hes looking for people that i ran into some of them who havent voted in any election in 20 years. Hes counting on people that have never been engaged in this process to show up. Theres still people, despite the people that wait out in line in the cold, theyre skeptical theyll show up. Sanders wants the Younger Voters to show up. Statistically, gus, weve not seen evidence that well see this massive rise in turnout like in 2008. So well find out tomorrow night. But right now it looks like its not there. If its not, thats good news for Hillary Clinton on the republican side. If history is a guide, the field of candidates starts to whittle down a little bit. On the gop front in particular, who might not move on from the Hawkeye State do you think . Well, i think you got to look at the folks that are trying to vie for sort of the evangelical, the Christian Conservative lane. Youve got ted cruz, ben carson, rick santorum. Huckabee and santorum, theyve won here before. Theyre in low Single Digits in this poll. Ben carson, at one time he led in iowa for a short period of time. If cruz looks like hes the candidate, evangelicals, i think thats the first place you look. But i think for most of the other candidates, they all want to have this, let me see how daye in New Hampshire as well iowa could eliminate the Christian Conservative candidates and then New Hampshire could win out the rest of the field. Tracking with the latest Hillary Clinton email controversy. It really depends. Republican voters are more fired up about it than democratic voters. Thats one of the questions about monday night. If youre already with Hillary Clinton, did anything that happened shake your confidence in her explanation and as far as any of the anecdotal, the polling, it seems to say no. But you never know if just small hesitation, the race is close enough. If she loses 2 or 3 points based on this, which is not a lot, it could put sanders over the top. Thanks, chuck.
