remember, joe biden isn t like a candidate who can fly coach to western iowa or new hampshire. he would be traveling in air force 2 with a big security footprint. that s a very expensive proposition and he would have to raise that money. the big question for joe biden right now is whether there s space for a democratic electorate for him right now it s big question whether he could occupy that same space as bernie sanders is occupying right now or as a space as a potential successor to barack obama that hillary clinton is occupying right now. in between those it s very unclear if there s a significant portion that says i m looking at hillary clinton, i m looking at bernie sanders, but joe biden is my guy. yeah, the biggest endorsement yet to come is from president obama if he were to throw his hat into the ring. and we know the lunch goes on between the two men right now. carrie dann, thank you very
material nor received anything marked classified. two sources familiar with the investigation into her private server tell nbc news that analysts are optimistic they can recover some of the data wiped clean. earlier this week court documents indicated the intelligence community has flagged more than 300 e-mails to determine whether they contain classified information. two other e-mails already have been cited as possibly containing top secret information. the state department, however, has said it is uncertain whether this information was labeled as such when the e-mails were sent and received. nbc news political editor carrie dann joins me. this is the second time clinton has made a joke about the e-mail controversy. take a listen to what democratic strategist james carville said just last hour. doesn t amount to a hill of beans just like all of the other stuff i ve been through. it doesn t amount to a hill of bean. it s just a bunch of people talking to each oerther, spinni
clearly a dip she has taken since this controversy broke. do you think it s hurting her even more when she throws her hands up in the air when kristen welker asks and she responds back nobody is asking me about this except for you guys, referring to the press, and when she makes light of it with her jokes. is that the way that you should go about it, especially knowing those numbers? it s certainly nothing new for the clintons to address controversy by blaming it both on partisan reasons and targeting the media, saying this is not something regular voters are asking about. this is nothing new at all. i think what may be new and what may have democratic insiders worried about is exactly what we were referencing, her tone appearing perhaps flippant and like she s not taking this controversy as seriously as some of these democratic donors who are very interested in seeing her in the white house after next november would like her to take this. all right, thanks, carrie dann. we re as
damaged hillary clinton s campaign. carrie dann, as always, thank you very much. now, in another milestone for the pentagon, a navy admiral says that for the first time women will be able to become navy s.e.a.l.s. the elite group is considered the military s most selective and physically demanding unit. it comes on the heels of the announcement that two female soldiers will graduate from the army rangers on friday. the washington post has named them at captain kristen grist and also lieutenant shea haver, an apache helicopter pilot from texas. their families say they are just like all the soldiers in class 8-15, happy, relieved and ready for some good food and sleep. like everyone who will pin the tab on friday, they are exceptional soldiers and strong teammates. joining me now from honolulu is congresswoman tul see gabbard. she has served two tours in iraq and serves as a captain in the
campaign is catching on. i think we are resonating all over this country and here in iowa because we re talking about issues that are life and death issues to the american people. and that is, the collapse of the american middle class, the massive and grotesque level of income inequality in this country. joining me from washington, nbc news political editor carrie dann. bernie sanders a real threat to hillary clinton now? he is a threat in that his success is underscoring weaknesses hillary clinton has. supporters of bernie sanders are democrats that like where he is on policy, income inequality, wall street reform and find him to be an authentic politician and he s somebody that doesn t have the problems with honest and trustworthy numbers we see for hillary clinton. recent polling seen sanders having a steady gain over the summer, gaining on hillary clinton. but i think it is also worth
