THIS RACE? NOW THE NUMBERS GO BACK -- HERE
WE GO.
WE GO. [LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER] BRET: FOX NEWS DECISION DESK CAN
NOW PROJECT THAT VERMONT SENATOR
BERNIE SANDERS WILL WIN THE
NEVADA CAUCUSES, FURTHER
CEMENTING HIS LEAD OVER HALF A
DOZEN DEMOCRATIC RIVALS RAISING
THE QUESTION REALLY OF WHETHER
THE SELF-DESCRIBED DEMOCRATIC
SOCIALIST CAN BE STOPPED ON HIS
MARCH TOWARD THE DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION.
PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION. HE’S NOT ONLY GOING TO WIN,
CHRIS.
CHRIS. HE’S GOING TO WIN CONVINCINGLY
IT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE NUMBERS
WE HAVE SEEN AND THE NUMBERS WE
ARE LIKELY TO SEE FROM SOME OF
THESE SITES COMING IN.
BERNIE SANDERS THE WINNER IN
NEVADA.
NEVADA. TALK TO ME ABOUT THE METRICS
WE’RE SEEING
WE’RE SEEING >> SO WE HAD ORIGINALLY BECAUSE
WE ARE FULL OF EXCELLENCE, WE
HAD DATA THAT OTHER OUTLETS DID
NOT HAVE, THE COMPETITION DID
NOT HAVE BECAUSE WE HAD PEOPLE
AT THE POLLS GETTING RAW VOTE SO
THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY KEEP
PEOPLE UPDATED EARLIER.
THEN ONCE THE WORLD CAUGHT UP TO
US, AND WE START TO GET DELEGATE
DATA, THEN WE MAKE THE SWITCH
AND CHANGE TO THE PERCENTAGES.
IT DOESN’T CHANGE THE FACT
THAT -- IN FACT, IT REINFORCES
THE FACT THAT BERNIE SANDERS WAS
JUST STOMPING OUT OF ALL OF
THESE PEOPLE.
THESE PEOPLE. IT IS CRAZY.
BRET: WE’RE EVENTUALLY GOING TO
GET TO A SECOND PLACE.
IT LOOKS LIKE BIDEN’S POSITIONED
TO DO THAT EARLY, BUT IT’S NOT
DEFINITE.
DEFINITE. >> THE QUESTION REALLY BECOMES
FOR BIDEN WHO HAS RUN A VERY
EXPENSIVE CAMPAIGN, BUT HAS
ALWAYS BEEN UNDERFUNDED, THE
QUESTION AT THIS POINT IS WHEN
DO DONORS, WHEN DO LEADERS
INSIDE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,
WHEN DOES BARACK OBAMA GO TO JOE
BIDEN AND SAY THIS HAS TO STOP;
RIGHT?
RIGHT? THIS KIND OF -- THIS KIND OF
FAILURE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE THAT IT’S
GOING TO DO FOR THE REST OF THE
LANE.
LANE. IT’S NOT FAIR THAT MIKE
BLOOMBERG GETS TO BIG FOOT THEM;
RIGHT?
RIGHT? IT IS NOT FAIR, BUT IT IS THE
WAY IT IS.
BIDEN’S TERRIBLE PERFORMANCE IN
CONTEST AFTER CONTEST HAS TO
DEMONSTRATE TO THEM THAT THIS
GUY’S GOT TO GO.
BRET: YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THE
NUMBERS ON THE SCREEN ARE THE
NEW METRICS, 4% IN, BUT IT IS 36
POINTS.
POINTS. WHERE IS THIS POSSIBLY GOING TO
FINISH WHEN WE GET TO THE FINAL
NUMBERS FOR BERNIE SANDERS?
>> WE COULD CERTAINLY SEE BIDEN
DO BETTER.
DO BETTER. WE DON’T KNOW WHERE THIS IS ALL
COMING IN FROM.
THERE COULD BE POCKETS THAT ARE
GOING TO BE GOOD FOR BIDEN.
IT IS NOT GOING -- OBVIOUSLY
HE’S NOT GOING TO BE IN ANYTHING
LIKE CONTENTION.
LIKE CONTENTION. HE MIGHT LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE
MORE SEPARATION FROM TOM STEYER.
HE MIGHT LIKE TO LOOK IN A MORE
RESPECTABLE WAY.
RESPECTABLE WAY. WE’RE LOOKING AT A SCENARIO NOW
THAT COULD END A WEEK FROM TODAY
FOR JOE BIDEN DROPPING OUT OF
THE RACE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
THAT’S LIKE A REAL POSSIBILITY
THAT HE AND HIS CAMPAIGN HAVE TO
STARE DOWN THE BARREL OF RIGHT
NOW.
NOW. BRET: WHY WOULDN’T CONGRESSMAN
GARAMENDI AND ALL THE SURROGATES
SAY HEY, WE CAME IN SECOND,
WE’RE THE HEIR-APPARENT TO THE
MODERATE LANE?
MODERATE LANE? >> BASED ON WHAT I HEARD THE
CONGRESSMAN SAY, I THINK THERE’S
SOME -- MARIE IS QUITE RIGHT.
JOE BIDEN IS THE BEST LIKED
DEMOCRAT.
DEMOCRAT. HE IS THE BEST -- IN A LOT OF
WAYS, THE BEST LIKED ACTIVE
POLITICIAN IN AMERICA TODAY.
PEOPLE REALLY LIKE JOE BIDEN,
BUT JOE BIDEN CANNOT FEED THE
BULLDOG.
BULLDOG. HE CAN’T GET IT DONE.
IT MAY BE A FACT THAT PEOPLE
DIDN’T WANT TO SAY -- THEY WERE
TOO NICE TO SAY HEY YOU’RE PAST
YOUR PRIME.
YOUR PRIME. YOU CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE.
YOU MISSED YOUR WINDOW AT THIS
IN 2016.
IN 2016. MAYBE THEY ARE JUST TOO NICE TO
SAY IT.
SAY IT. WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO VOTING TIME
AND THE REAL THING, THEY SAY WE
CAN’T GO THERE.
BRET: AND FOR THE OTHERS, CHRIS,
QUICKLY, ABOUT ELIZABETH WARREN,
AMY KLOBUCHAR, PETE BUTTIGIEG,
WHAT DO THEY TAKE OUT OF NEVADA
HEADING TO SOUTH CAROLINA?
>> I HOPE THEY DID WELL IN THE
CASINOS.
CASINOS. AMY KLOBUCHAR AND PETE
BUTTIGIEG, PRETTY MUCH DQ’D IN
THAT DEBATE.
THAT DEBATE. IT IS UNFAIR TO THEM THERE’S NO
BOUNCE OUT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
SOMEBODY TELL ME THEIR PATH
FORWARD.
FORWARD. SOMEBODY MAKE THE RATIONALE FOR
WHY THEY SHOULD STAY IN SUPER
TUESDAY AND SOAK UP VOTE SHARE
THAT ENDS UP EMPOWERING BERNIE
SANDERS.
SANDERS. BRET: I THINK WEEKEND STALLWART
