And a period of united government. What we are seeing is Something Different that are coming to power of a new order like ike in 52, kennedy in 60, barack obama in 2008. I dont think so. What i see is not a Movement Forward in our politics to some period of united action, what i see happening in this early stage of our president ial Selection Process is not something that follows in the tracks of our successful political history, getting together after the election and moving forward as a country. What i see is not something that comes from our history but what comes from the crappy useless politics seen in the u. S. Congress. The bills that dont get past, the budgets that never get approved and the immigration problem, infrastructure that rots under us from the Water Systems to bridges to the Old Public School buildings. What we have seen on capitol hill, that single digit approved congress, the bad approval ratings, the treatment of public records as criminal rap sheets this moved like a tsunami into our president ial politics. The noise, the personal insults, the hatred, speeches that sell not results but resolution but more anger. This is just in politics on the congressional level for years now. It just doesnt jump at us on Television Like the newly infected president ial kind. Today we see trump dump on cruz. Cruz a hated man in congress is winning support among haters who send people like him to the congress. Bernie sanders runs on will with idealism and another level of argument and opposition to the existing traffic jam of anger on capitol hill. My question is how selection will add to or subtract from the disaster we face in a Congress Unable to act, a government does not solve problems, only keeps a tally as the problems accumulate. It is bad. And the politics of this president ial election seem to be not a solution to the problem but only as a symptom of the mess that is seeped out of the congress into the light and noise of a president ial campaign. Could it be this entire process in which we are now engaged could lead to a crash of egos and interests that makes the congress of the United States suddenly appear not so bad . Nbcs Hallie Jackson is in concord, New Hampshire at a trump rally. Sarah palin took on the republican establishment. Even today the gop machine, they are attacking their own front runner and his base of dynamic, diverse very patriotic supporters. They are attacking you because they cant afford for the status quo to go otherwise the aggressive train stops and they cant keep slurping from it. The gop machine all of a sudden are saying we are not red enough. We are not conservative enough. And i say what do they know about conservatism. They are telling us we need to just chill. I say they are stomping on our neck and telling us just chill. It is time to drill, baby drill down on what is going on and hold them accountable. That was done near an oil patch so drill baby drill makes sense but what did that statement mean . What is her role going to be besides a couple votes in iowa . Is this a one state stand . Reporter i dont think so, chris. If you are going to look at sarah palins impact on where to help donald trump i think she will hold sway with deserve grass root in the south. I think right now in the short term her biggest asset is helping to continue to drive earned Media Coverage for donald trump. Look what happened today. He gets a lot of attention. He is back in the headlines and so is she. Both of them helping out each other here. She served half a term as governor of alaska and walked away from a job she had taken an oath to serve. You walk away from a job with no clear reason for doing it. To be the Vice President ial nominee. She did this afterwards. Im not sure she helped the ticket. And i just wonder what does she add besides sparkle for a couple of weeks . But it is a key couple of weeks. Playing devils advocate here but we are just away from iowa, is that enough . And latest poll trump leads the field at 36 nationally near his top. 19 points higher than cruz who is not making it nationally. In a brand new poll trump has support of nearly half the republican voters. He leads the field by 32 at 48. That is beyond the ceiling people have put on him. He leads in georgia by ten points and nevada by 13 points. These are margins, in South Carolina by 14. In maryland by 17 and in a brand new poll from New Hampshire today in this new poll trump is up by 20 in that one. This is closer in wyoming where trump is up by two. So you have a sense whether she is going to go back in and campaign a lot in iowa the next week and a half . Look at what she has done so far . She is within 24 hours of endorsing him. Been out on the campaign trail. Her superpack is asking supporters to raise money so palin can travel and do some of this surrogacy for donald trump. So it would be a misfire for him not to deploy her out on the campaign trail over the next couple of weeks. She talked about his standing in New Hampshire. Palin may not sway some of those men and women. Donald trump is still up by about 20 points in the new poll over the second place candidate ted cruz. Thank you. On the today show donald trump was asked if he would consider sarah palin as a running mate. This is got you journalism if there ever was any. Would you consider her as your running mate . I dont think that it would be something she would want to do. She has been through that. To the question, would you consider it . I havent discussed anything with her about what she would do. She is somebody i really like and respect. She could play a position. You wouldnt rule her out as vp . I dont this can she would have to do it. I would have to win before i start thinking about that. There are a lot of good people in the republican party. Certainly there would be a role somewhere on the administration if she wanted. Im not sure that she does want that. There would be a role. Savannah had a way to ask that question. Thank you and republican strategist. Let me ask you this. I think do you agree with me. I will be tougher. I think a lot of people in the suburbs, people that do think and read the papers and keep up with things, sophisticated people who see themselves as middle of the road republicans who would vote republican against hillary in some cases, in most cases, think of trump as a smarter guy than he puts on. They think he has clownish qualities. When you get back to business and he has been in brksz he is serious as hell guy who is a grownup. The language used by her yesterday suggests she can use the same language as he but nobody believes she is a person of accomplishment or achievement like trump is or a person of deep down ability like he is because they think they talk the same way, appeal to the same audience in some cases but sarah palin is no donald trump. Is there a danger in putting her out there as a surrogate . As a surrogate she is going to do exactly what she needs to do. There is always a risk when you take on a surrogate or you take on someone who will speak a message for you and you want to make sure they are consistent with what you are trying to advance. She has a huge support in iowa. Behind all of that support and class background and Regional Support and i understand the whole appeal, the way she takes on the establishment. Peel it all off, is she the person you want to see in the white house as president . In the white house doing what . Being president or Vice President . You are saying would you see her in the white house as president . Clearly i want to see donald trump as president. Under any circumstances would you want to see sarah palin as president . As president . I want to see donald trump as president. I have no opinion. Thats a gotcha. Im asking you. He didnt announce her as Vice President ial running mate but as a surrogate. None have to go through a vet like pr president but have to accomplish what you want them to accomplish. She is going to help him win iowa. It wouldnt be on the table for her as vp . I dont believe so. This is a problem. I consider you a civilian, not a political person. There is a reasonable reaction. What are you crazy . Basically her reaction . Of course she cant be president. That is a problem. I have never said that. I think the bigger problem is saying crazy things which she did yesterday. It was like not even a political speech. Sarah palin is not this big asset. She is a huge liability. It didnt make sense. She is not that great of a surrogate. She dragged mccain down. A cabinet post you trust her in . No. Nothing. Not transportation, nothing. What is the role to be played by sarah palin . You are a great surrogate. What is her plan for the next couple of weeks . What do you see her doing . Helping him win iowa . She will help win iowa and go in with great momentum into New Hampshire. She brings the grass roots and the tea party and enthusiasm. You want to see him roll into iowa with the excitement and enthusiasm that he needs to win. And the media covers everything that she says. He calls it poetry. I call it politically savvy. You think he should bring her to New Hampshire . She will be a disaster in New Hampshire. I said rolling into New Hampshire. I didnt say take him with her. I think she is going to be sequestered in places like oklahoma and iowa. A lot of things they won in 2008. The key states are the ones they lost. Let me tell you the states that matter in america. Ohio, virginia, colorado and sometimes pennsylvania. Those are the states that decide our president ial elections. Thank you. You are a delightful guest and have spoken such truth to us. Coming up, a tale of two inturgants showing Bernie Sanders out with a big lead in New Hampshire. Can the democratic establishment do the bernie with the republicans are trying to do to trump . Can they stop their outsider from winning . And the big story, the water horror out in flint, michigan. The governor apologized and said he will fix it. Today president obama travelled to michigan. Should he do more . Marco rubios allies are cutting down ted cruz. They are playing the canada card. What is canadian about ted cruz . His tax plan. Cruz wants a value added tax like they have in canada and european socialist countries. We have more of the latest and the greatest campaign ads with the hardball round table. I love ads especially the nasty ones. The round table telling us. This is hardball, place for politics. Politics. 5 trump is ahead in florida and more numbers on the race in the sunshine state. Among Florida DemocratsHillary Clinton beats Bernie Sanders by more than two to one. It is clinton 62 , sanders 26 . And the potential general election matchups trump has three point lead over clinton. Trump with 47, clinton 44. And against Bernie Sanders trumps lead grows 47, 42 very close as general election prospects. Well, if i were secretary were always looking for ways to speed up your Car Insurance search.

Well, if i were secretary clinton and i had seen the campaign as inevitable i would be i would be nervous. Hillary clintons chance to become the first woman president is somewhat in danger as Bernie Sanders surges. A new poll shows sanders leading clinton by 27 points among democratic primary voters. She won the primary against barack obama. The numbers have National Democrats panicking and sounding alarm bills about the possibility of the self described socialist. Senator Claire Mccaskill said the republicans wont touch him because they cant wait to run an ad with hammer and sickle. Jay nixon said we like our politicians in the mainstream and he is not. It would be a melt down all the way down the ballot. Jacamar cell says candidates in purple states would face Serious Problems with him on top of the ticket. The clintons know the heart of political comeback and bill clinton was back in New Hampshire making the case for his wife. Here he is. This has turned into an interesting election and took longer than i thought. Im just telling you you can discount what i say, but you have been good to me. You have been good to our family. I trust you. And three weeks is an eternity in politics. And New Hampshire it is an eternity. Kasie hunt and the former governor of pennsylvania. I want to start with you on reporting. What is this word panic . Can we say that . This guy is a socialist, he will kill us . It is more to poison the well, i would say. Im not sure it is a panic attack but definitely sound thug larm. I think it sends the signal that the clintons are in a place that they didnt use to be and they are taking a risk by going this route. If they anger too many supporters a lot of whom are very excited and the clinton supporters saying he is a socialist they risk alienating people and potentially causing more of a problem for themselves. It is clear they have decided that risk is worth it which is definitely a change over the course of the last couple of weeks. Like in a basketball game you have to foul the other side to get the ball back. If you dont get the ball back by fouling you lose. You spoke to senator mccaskill about her comments earlier today. Lets watch that. One of my colleagues said the republican attack machine has chainsaws for hands. And i think the point i was trying to make is bernie has not felt those chainsaws and they would come out with avengeance. Do you think a self declared socialist could win the presidency . I can only think for my state. I think it would be absolutely impossible. You have to win states like missouri, states like indiana, like ohio, pennsylvania. It is very hard, i think, for most americans to see how socialism would cure the problems that we are facing right now. Did you get a lead on her that she would say this or were you just good at reporting and she adjust came out with this. It is interesting that people speaking out are both from missouri which is a tough state for democrats, of course. It always has been. I think that we have been more used to republicans sounding the alarm in places where they need to win. That has been the trend in the latest president ial elections. It wasnt that long ago that the flip side was true and democrats were afraid of the liberal label and there are echoes of that here. After the comments were made to the New York Times it seemed as though this was the argument she was trying to make. She went hard after it. She has been one of the most aggressive so far. I think it is interesting to see if she keeps this lineup or back lash against this attack against Bernie Sanders and some of these people who are being noisy start to back off. Congratulations on getting an interview. I dont know how you did that. That was impressive. Thank you very much. You are a pro. Let me go to governor. You have been to a lot of these races. The feeling seems to be this weird slippage to the left and seems like it is happen like sand out of an hour glass. And i dont know how you stop sand from coming out of an hour glass. What do you do if you are hillary or bill clinton helping her . No panic and no jitters. The poll in New Hampshire that you cited is an outliar. All the rest of the polls have it within seven and three points. There was a poll in iowa last week that had hillary up 21 points. Everybody discredited that poll because it was an outliar. We also know that New Hampshireites make up their minds a couple of days after iowa votes. After barack obama won in iowa the next poll he was up 20 points in New Hampshire and he wound up losing by four points to hillary. I dont think there is reason for panic. If you look at the numbers you quoted florida. If you look at the numbers in florida and South Carolina and nevada and places like that secretary clinton is showing no significant slippage. You have two very liberal states that happen to come first. I agree with kasie, panic and attacks on Bernie Sanders comes with risks. Bernie sanders performed a service for the nation and brought the issues front and center and will stay front and center through november. I think we should appreciate what bernie has done. Suppose one of your successful races for governor of pennsylvania and you go in and announced a week before the election i have to admit this i never told this to anybody but im a socialist . What would happen . What would have happened . I would have picked up about 20 votes and lost about 10,000. That is what i thought. Thank you. Simple as that. Socialism and bernie is going to explain it, he is a democratic socialist. That will be the effort. Will it be successful . I doubt it. Ooeng we are a nation that these days as you said liberal is considered a bad label in a president ial election. Socialist, my gosh. I think you are right. Thank you so much. And thank you for seizing the wisdom. Up next michigan Governor Rick Snyder says he is sorry and he will fix the flint water crisis. Doesnt even look good. His apology a little too late . This is hardball, place for politics. This just got interesting. Why pause to take a pill . Or stop to find a bathroom .
