For you, 2008, a horror film in iowa. he finished third there. if this feels like 2008 here, its bad. >> im not going to dispute her numbers at all. her analysis feels like 08, i equate it with this. we are 156 days out. 156 days. barack obama came up and slingshot around hillary and the rest of the field late in the race. i think it did catch hillary and her campaign by surprise. i said from the beginning, this is going to be a race, a tough race. bernie sanders is within striking distance in i...

Bush cheney left the region unstable. >> i think hes wrong. look at the record. we had a situation in which by the time we got through the surge in 07 and 08, president bush made a courageous decision and correct decision that iraq was in good shape when we left office. barack obama said as much. what happened basically was they failed to follow through. they withdrew as quickly as possible and left no stay behind force there. they created a vacuum and the vacuum was filled by isis. >> how dange...

Look at the record. we had a situation in which by the time we got through the surge in 07 and 08, president bush made a courageous decision that iraq was in good shape when we left office. what happened basically was they failed to follow through. they withdrew as quickly as possible and left no stay behind force there. they created a vacuum. the vacuum was filled by isis. >> reporter: how dangerous do you really think isis is now to homeland security american soil? >> i think extraordinarily d...

Because you look at iowa and new hampshire, very few african-american voters, very few hispanic voters. shes strong among those groups. getting punched twice in the face in the first two contests would cause panic in the party. >> and al hunt, the one headline out of this poll really is that this is a competitive race. were not saying hillarys ship is going down. were not saying bernie sanders is the next nominee, but the headline as we move into the fall is this starts as a competitive race. >>...

Republicans over iraq for instance played out i think in this interview with the former vice president. he said he refuted this idea that the invasion of iraq by the bush administration created instability in the region that gave isis and al qaeda a toehold there. what was your reaction to that? >> i agree with the vice president. obviously it was instability in 04, 05 and 06. with the surge in 07 and 08, by the time president obama came to office he himself said that iraq was stable and secure ...

Prefer to do, to make the gop look like terrorists. some have said making the holocaust slurs towards them as well. >> yeah. thats striking a cord that bernie sanders is talking about the issues touching the democratic base. poll numbers 37-30, 5% margin of error. it could be a 2% race there between bernie sanders and hillary clinton. >> if you think how impressive bernie sanders -- just my analysis. hes not obama 08. hes still getting this traction. >> hes a socialist. >> people have said if hi...

Just four questions from ed henry before she left. she, i think, does not think she did anything wrong. and we dont actually know what happened. so i mean it is too early to say whether she did or doesnt. a lot of her critics want to say she did. the problem is to the point she said in that earlier answer, there are legitimate questions about this. there are reasons people have questions about this. and as jonathan said you have to feel for her staff. because they are in a really tough position ...

Hillary clinton lost a third of her percent. you were with obama. is this the same thing going on? >> i dont think so. we ought to see whether this poll, the "des moines register" and this is an outliar. every poll she has been in is about 50. sanders is about 25. no question she will have to work hard to win iowa. she has taken water on because of it. she needs to take bernie sanders seriously as an opponent and if she is our nominee and i suspect in the current field she will be, she has to un...

Cops were told to stand down. >> president obama is not at fault, but will he step in as a leader and drive a real conversation about this. >> black lives matter calls for the murder of police. we want to give you a quick political update now. the landscaped is pretty much the same but change a little bit. weve got new poll numbers from the state of iowa and bernie sanders on the ascent. hes up 7 points. this is the first contest in the nominating process. >> youve got iowa 37, hillary clinton...

In 08. >> i want to ask you about this fascinating part of the quinnipiac poll they asked voters around the country whats the first word that comes to mind when you think of blank candidate. for hillary clinton there are a lot of words, including woman, experience and strong. but the number one word was liar. the number two word was dishonest and the number three word was untrustworthy. at the end of the day if donald trump is the nominee, will that matter? >> oh, wow. well, look, they both brin...
