More on that in a moment. First lets bring in harry enten. 71 of the results now in. What are we learning from iowa . The way they do it in iowa is rather confusing. A first vote, a final vote. This is what i want to concentrate on. The statewide delegate equivalents. We do see that Pete Buttigieg has that advantage over Bernie Sanders right now. 27 to 25 . But its very, very, very close, jim. The other thing ill point out here. Joe biden not doing all that well in the moderate lane. And in that very liberal lane, Bernie Sanders is beating out elizabeth warren. If we look back, because iowa has been a good predictor of the eventual democratic nominee going back to 2000. If we look back to 2016, what can we expect to learn from this . This is rather interesting to me and gives you an idea how the gr

The most contentious debate yet. Voters will be making their final decisions. The make or break primary in South Carolina is this weekend. And tonight the person with the biggest target on his back, Bernie Sanders, will be in the center of the stage after his decisive win in the nevada. He is now the indisputable front runner. One line of attack likely to be about sanders doubling down on his comments about fidel castro. When fidel castro first came to power which was when . 59 . 59, 60. Okay. Do you know what he did . He initiated a major literacy program. I think teaching people to read and write is a good thing. And it isnt just castro back in 1985. Sanders sat down with Daniel Ortega whos accused of widespread human rights abuses. Here is what sanders said. Ortega is an impressive guy. Sanders opponents of course are seizing on those remarks. Here they are today. Why are we spotlighting the literacy programs of a brutal dictator instead of being unambiguous in our condemnation abou

And the third is north korea, which President Trump today threatened to wipe off the map while speaking at the United Nations.
Stark battle lines accusing and defending the white house. This is a very simple straight forward act. The president broke the law. So i think that whatever happens now, there will be taint to this onesided impartisan approach to impeachment. Shock reaction that some believe that President Trump is not going to be on the ballot in 2020 and the reasons why. And crashing the party, Michael Bloomberg may bring the wallet to the 2020 contest, and it is rubbing some contenders the wrong way. This hour, dramatic and stark divisions over the impending new hearings on the impeachment inquiry and day 48 of the investigation into this president. In just about 72 hours, the probe enters a new phase, and the first public testimony and a spectacle expected to be watched closely by millions as well as the white house.
