moderation. walking back a bit. he is. it s going to be interesting to see how much he actually, you know, sticks with in terms of what he campaigned on. molly, before i let you go i want to talk about the next steps for the democrats. listen to what sanders supporter nina turner told me during this last hour. it really is, alex, about speaking to people s hearts. it wasn t about resumes, it wasn t about the best platform, it really was about people, whether they were black or white, although we know that the majority of white women did vote in that way, it s not people of color, she got 90% of the black woman vote, 80% of the black man vote, the majority of the votes from our hispanic sisters and brothers but it really is about knowing and recognizing that people were suffering in this country and mr. trump, like it or not, spoke to that hurt in a way that got him to be now president elect. did the emotions there, we ve got draths like congressman keith ellis and howard deen
ring for the chairmanship. how important is this step as far as the reconciliation party and future plans? it will show whether democrats learned from what just happened. keith ellis southeast son was one of two or three democrats in the house who supported bernie sanders, he is a progressive. he is also a muslim american, he appeals to a lot of members of the democratic party, then you have somebody like howard dean who already was the dnc chair and it sort of goes back to this issue of are we going to go with the same old thing that we have had before or are we going to try something fresh and new? somebody who speaks to the people, who are supporting one of our candidates. you know, especially after the wikileaks revelations about the dnc s dealings and what they ve said about bernie sanders it s going to be really interesting to see how the democrats regroup and what they ve learned from this election. it sure will. ladies, thank you so much.
history regarding women, he s not going to hold up well but i i think you make a good point that it reinforces for democrats the will to fight. that s what hillary clinton needs to most for the democrats to fight for her. let s look at this latest poll. this is a cnn poll. hillary clinton at 49, donald trump at 47 in a theoretical general election matchup. howard deen, they did not include bernie sanders in a matchup with donald trump in that poll as so many polls ignore bernie sanders when it comes to the one on ones. the last one we saw which included bernie sanders, he had a much bigger lead over donald trump. but that margin, what do you make of that? i don t make much of polls before the primary election. there s going to be a lot of people coming home on both sides after the nominee is decided and there is a ton of people in the
resoluti resolution. i m going to let him live in his alternative reality and i m not going to respond. [ cheers & applause ] joining u us now, howard deen, former government of vermont. he s also an msnbc political and analyst, rick wilson and joy read is here, msnbc national correspondent. the clintons are not going near the latest round of donald trump accusations. it s interesting. the clinton s political pedigree is you hit them once and they deck you like in the face 18 times in response. and that they have this disproportionate response is what people expect. they re employing a different strategy. they re saying let him come at us. we re not going to give him any sound bites that he can use. i think it s the right thing to. and howard deen, i m not sure if we see the full emergence of a clinton campaign
