We have msnbc political l alyst ninile wallace with us i i studio. Chuck, i w wl start with you. Donald trump accusing ted cruz of stealing the election in iowa. The substance of it . I am shocked that political campaigns try to win elections. Did they take advantage of the situation with carson. Yes. A lot of stuff goeoeon behind the scenes there. Its donald trump playing a little bit of politics. That said, i have to say the more they fight, the more this helps one candidate. Not ted cruz, not donald trump but marco rubio. The private polling i have been hearing about over the past two days postiowa indicates that cruz hasnt gotten a bump partly because trump has been beating him up. There is only one guy on the rise. Marco rubio. Nicole, we know the voter base in New Hampshire is different than iowa. Are the New Hampshire voters emotional voters or are they pragmatic voters . In other words, are they going to go for cruz or trump or look for someone, the best person to the democratic nominee is . Historically and i feel like i need to give that caveat becaususnothing has been historic r two reasons they are practical voters. In New Hampshire independents can participate in each partys primary. You will read people not just choosing between rubio and kasich. Kasich is also doing well in private and public polling. And marco rubio. They are making a completely itoves at the edges. And the knife fight between cruz and trump runs a risk of n n just each man destroying the other but alienating voters to bring to the camp. Knife fight but maybe label fight. Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton and who is the most progressive person in the race. Who is getting the better of that one . I think it really depends on electorate right now. What you are seeing is sanders ideas saying take it to washington and do those things. That is appealing to the younger generation. One to work well for Hillary Clinton here in New Hampshire particularly on the democratic side. Democratic primary voters for years in New Hampshire have been idealistic it should play well here. It hasnt so far. Far in deciding. G. Bernie sanders heads to newew hampshire. Big lead in the polls. Hillary clinton has faced this before and done well in New Hampshire. Amount of resources into the state. If she closes the gap substantially is the momentum victory . This is where each candidate is judged on how successfully they manage the expectations game. Peek at what marco rubio did in iowa. He let the expectations stand that he has to win by a whopper of double digit figure, he will lose if he wins. In 1992 nobody remembered that.
