shootings. absolutely. no one doubts the intellectual and emotional sincerity. that is what he s leading with. in his own home town, right? he saw people die. and he had to comfort them. and that kind of gave another boost to his campaign because he let it all go. he called out the media and he was cursing, using very blunt language. and i think that s just the place that he s coming from. and he has to go back into his community and still deal with the folks who are mourning. and so i think that we just have to kind of see where he is coming from. it s incredibly authentic and it s very real and he s using his platform right now in a national way. thank you for using your voice in a national way and helping us out as part of our country tonight. thank you. great to see you as always. thank you. another break for us. we ll come back at the top of the hour, start this all over again. we have candidates to hear from
they going to have to pay overall. so she is on to something there. do you think there are major foreign policy distinctions up on that stage tonight in the way that you and your fellow candidates would approach some of the most pressing questions? i felt like i did not hear a ton. it was sort of everyone condemning the president s rash decision to evacuate northeastern syria with the exception of tulsi gabbard who is in different place. do you feel there is a fairly broad consensus? i think there is a lot of consensus there, especially when it comes to syria. and there is also a consensus that this president just doesn t have a strategy, that he has been completely erratic and ineffective on syria, on iran, on china, on a number of other foreign policy issues. and that s part of the reason that i think it s very clear and there is not much disagreement that hey, we need a different approach. you know, tulsi gabbard, congresswoman gabbard articulated a little bit of a different appro
how many democrats say that is too old? look at that number jumps to 28%. more than 1 out of 4. and then of course bernie sanders is older still. 79 years old on inauguration day. and coming off this heart attack, this poll was conducted after that. how many say that bernie sanders is too old? that number climbs all the way to 43%. again, this is democrats in the early stage. now, here s the interesting thing. if you look at biden and you look at sanders where those numbers are high among democrats and take it a step further and you ask democrats what specifically is it about their age to gives you pause about them? this is somewhat interesting. when it comes to biden the democrats who say they do think he s too old, why is he too snoeld about 36% say because his age would make it too difficult for him to do the job. 54% say his age just makes him out of touch. 10% say he s been in politics too long. how about for bernie sanders? very different, actually. very different reaction. too d
thank you. be good. back to you. chris hayes, thank you. over to steve kornacki at the big board. can you help us out with where this race stands right now perhaps? i think there is two ways of looking at it. one is i do this all the time. we get a new national poll out. warren, maybe she is three points ahead of biden, maybe biden is still ahead of warren and sanders is in third and nobody else is popping. and that is the story we ve been telling nationally in this race. but there is no national primary. we have a series of individual state contests in all the action begins in iowa with those caucuses. and whatever happens in those caucuses, whoever wins, whoever loses has such a big effect from what happen there s. with that in mind, the latest polling out of iowa, this is just a couple of days old, check this out, it looks a little different than what you see nationally. you have biden, warren and sanders, a virtual three-way tie for first place in the lead-off state. by t
renewed presence on that stage tonight, senator klobuchar standing by with chris hayes. senator, good to see you. well, thank you, chris. it s great to be here. let me follow up on that exchange. i heard what you said about a moral equivalency, but is there any way in which you view is there fear that you have about a kind of train track of confrontation, particularly in the post trump era because of all of the ways in which he is seen to have solicited putin, a kind of overcorrection, the dangers of entanglement or escalating in the places president trump shouldn t be in? that s why i think it s so important to have someone from day one who is going to change politics, stop the meme tweets. that s why i put out 100-day plan. my reference there to mr. yang, who i really enjoy a lot, and i m glad he is on that debate stage is simply that he literally was making that moral
