speak for everybody in the white house. i didn t know. i suspect most of my colleagues didn t know either. let s move on and talk about this new monmouth university poll. hillary clinton, take a look at this, she s dropped from 52% to 42%. that s her lowest number so far. joe biden went from 12% to 22%, and bernie sand irs went from 16% to 22%. how much trouble is she in? i don t think she s in a crisis situation, a flee fall. i think her numbers were artificially high to start with. they re coming back to earth. and i would say this i don t think there s a candidate on either side of the aisle that wouldn t trade places with her. she will be because of the demographic images that occur to the democratic candidate if she is the nominee. she clearly has problems. she has problems primarily
favorites. cherry cola rib ss. good to have you with us tonight, folks. you can t argue with the numbers. bernie sand irs is on a roll and the folks are showing up. he s drawing huge crowds. last night i was in madison, wisconsin, i wanted to see it firsthand. 10,000 people packed the facility. this is something the press can t ignore if jeb bush marco rubio were to pack the facility the talk would be different. when he comes to town he s not meeting with the mayor of any city or the city council, he s not trying to schmooze anybody.
you think. bernie says he can win it. do you think bernie sanders can win the nomination? go to pulse.msnbc.com/ed to cast your vote. we ll bring you the results later in the show. for more let me bring in john nichols who introduced fwernbernie sanders last night. larry cohen who is endorsing and supporting and working for as a volunteer for bernie sanders. good to have you with us tonight. this crowd last night that i saw in madison, they are flat out bernie believers. i mean what he is selling they are buying. they are enthusiastic. he was on message for what these folks want there is no doubt that he has struck a nerve. john nichols, what does this mean? what is this crowd, these crowds around the country mean? what s happening here? i think it s a big deal this early in a presidential race where a candidate is attracting 10,000 people in madison, but
this guy is coming to a town with a message for the people about the people. and guess, what they re buying it. that s what i saw. bernie sanders is telling people what they want to hear what they re thinking there s somebody out there on the national scene that thinks the way they do. now, there is a major level of authenticity and believability that is attracting these crowds. that s the early analysis. bernie isn t bought and paid for. people want to grab on to something that is politically pure, and bernie s message is resonating. let me just say a few words to my friends in the republican party about extremism. when you deny the right of workers to come together in collective bargaining that s extreme ism extremism. when you tell a woman she cannot control her own body that s
also 5,000 out in denver something relatively close to that in minneapolis. and even in small towns in iowa attracting more people than live in the town that s a big deal indication of enthusiasm. i think it s pent up demand in a sense for an economic populous message. there s something else here ed person bernie sanders says he wants to spark a political revolution. to have a political revolution, you need tens of thousands of committed people ready to go out and campaign. and i think that s really what these big rallies are about what these big events are about, getting people charged up to go out and kind of be if you will the foot soldiers for that political revolution. no question about it. if he can turn these folks into small donors it s going to be a heck of a battle. you heard what those union guys said that i talked to in madison, they re loving what they re hearing right now. you re throwing your support behind bernie sanders. why are you doing that? bernie offers us the
