MOVE. >> SHE HAS.
WE’VE GOT AMY KLOBUCHAR ON THE
SHOW THIS MORNING.
LOOK AT THAT LATEST "BOSTON
GLOBE" TRACKING POLL SHOWING
BERNIE SANDERS PUPPING INGPULLIN
FROM DEMOCRATIC RIVALS AND PETE
BUTTIGIEG AND AMY KLOBUCHAR
MAKING A MOVE UP FIVE POINTS AS
JOE SAID AFTER A STRONG DEBATE
PERFORMANCE FRIDAY.
PERFORMANCE FRIDAY. AT 14% WITH JOE BIDEN AND
ELIZABETH WARREN TIED AT 12%.
>> YOU WENT TO AN AMY EVENT LAST
NIGHT, JOHN HEILEMANN.
SAID IT WAS OVER 1,000 PEOPLE.
THE MOST INTENSE THAT SHE HAD
AND I’M HAVING PEOPLE COME UP TO
ME, SEVERAL SINCE WE’VE GOTTEN
HERE SAYING, WATCH OUT FOR AMY.
WATCH OUT FOR AMY.
>> THEY’RE HEARING IT.
>> IF YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THIS
WEEKEND HERE, THE CANDIDATES
THAT REALLY HAVE BEEN ON THE
MOVE HAVE BEEN PETE BUTTIGIEG
AND AMY KLOBUCHAR AND BOTH HAVE,
ALL OVER THE STATE, DRAWING BIG
CROWDS.
CROWDS. KLOBUCHAR LAST NIGHT, THIS EVENT
IN NASHUA, BIGGEST CROWD SHE’S
HAD AT ANY CAMPAIGN EVENT THE
ENTIRE CYCLE.
ENTIRE CYCLE. 1,100 IN NASHUA AND IT WAS A
HIGH-ENERGY AFFAIR.
HIGH-ENERGY AFFAIR. SHE FEELS IT.
UP KNOW?
UP KNOW? SHE SAID, I TALKED TO HER AFTER.
WHAT’S DIFFERENT BETWEEN NOW AND
NEW HAMPSHIRE?
NEW HAMPSHIRE? SHE SAID, I’M HERE.
IN IOWA, I WAS --
>> WELL, ALSO, THEY COUNT VOTES.
>> WELL, THAT’S TRUE.
>> IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
>> THIS IS NICE.
>> THAT’S TRUE.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> I LIKE IT WHEN THEY DO THAT.
>> BUT SHE’S, YOU KNOW, RETAIL
POLITICIAN WHO REALLY FELT THE
PAIN OF BEING STUCK IN D.C. FOR
THE IMPEACHMENT THING.
NOW IS HERE ON THE GROUND WITH A
REAL FINGERTIP FEEL THINGS ARE
GOING HER WAY AND THEN PETE
BUTTIGIEG IN NASHUA THAT MORNING
TURNED OUT 1,800 PEOPLE, BIGGEST
CROWD IN ENTIRE NEW HAMPSHIRE.
THE TWO RUNNING AROUND THE STATE
WITH A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM AND
MOVING UP.
MOVING UP. BERNIE SANDERS STILL IN THE LEAD
BUT JUST SORT OF SITTING THERE
AT THE TOP.
AND THEN YOU GOT JOE BIDEN ON
THE WAY DOWN.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON’T KNOW WHY
PEOPLE ARE YELLING IN HERE BUT I
GUARANTEE YOU, I DO HAVE TEN
NIGHTTENITIS
NIGHTTENITIS IN BOTH EARS, SO -- AND SITTING
HERE SINCE 1972.
IN FACT, TRYING TO KICK THIS GUY
OUT AND IT’S NOT WORKING.
SO, MIKE, YOU’VE BEEN -- HERE --
AT EVERY PRIMARY SINCE ’72.
FRIENDS WITH JOE BIDEN FOR ABOUT
AS LONG.
AS LONG. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> I KNOW WE’RE ALL TALKING
ABOUT WHO’S GOING TO WIN THIS
THING.
THING. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> BUT, I MEAN FOR ME
PERSONALLY, LOOK AT THE LONG RUN
OF THE CAMPAIGN, THE QUESTION
IS, WHETHER NEW HAMPSHIRE IS
GOING TO FINISH JOE BIDEN’S
POLITICAL CAREER.
POLITICAL CAREER. HE MAY STUMBLE ON TO SOUTH
CAROLINA BUT IF HE FINISHES
FIFTH, FOURTH, OR FIFTH, BOY,
IT’S GOING TO BE HARD.
EVEN IF HE WINS SOUTH CAROLINA,
HE’S NOT GOING TO HAVE THE MONEY
TO GO ON AFTER THAT.
HE’S GOT TO STILL FINISH FIRST
OR SECOND, DOESN’T HE?
>> HERE?
>> HERE? >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> WELL, THAT’S NOT GOING TO
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. >> SO MY NECESSARY QUESTION --
THANK YOU FOR WALKING RIGHT INTO
THE THAT.
THE THAT. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> SO HOW DOES HE SURVIVE?
>> TOUGH, BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. >> HOW DOES HE SURVIVE?
ABSOLUTELY HE HAS TO RAISE
MONEY.
MONEY. >> HE CAN’T DO IT.
>> GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT.
>> WHY -- MIKE, WHY IS THERE --
THIS GUY, YOU KNOW, I’LL ASK
Y’ALL AS WELL.
>> ASK ADRIENNE, TOO.
>> WHY CAN’T HE RAISE MONEY?
WHY A GUY IN THE GAME SINCE ’74
OR SO, WHY IS HE SO INCAPABLE OF
RAISING MONEY?
RAISING MONEY? >> HE’S NOT INCAPABLE OF RAISING
MONEY.
MONEY. HE JUST CAN’T RAISE THE AMOUNTS
OF MONEY ONLINE THAT PEOPLE LIKE
BERNIE AND ELIZABETH WARREN HAVE
RAISED AND NOW AMY KLOBUCHAR IS
RAISING.
RAISING. I THINK PART OF IT IS BECAUSE OF
HIS LONG YEARS OF INCUMBENCY.
VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
STATES. YOU SORT OF LOSE TOUCH WITH THE
EVERYDAY REALITY HOW POLITICS
AND FUND-RAISING HAS CHANGED.
I THINK THAT’S HURT HIM A
LITTLE.
LITTLE. HURT HIS CAMPAIGN A LOT.
GOING ON TO SOUTH CAROLINA HE’LL
HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO COMPETE IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.
SOUTH CAROLINA. THE ODDS ARE HE WILL WIN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
CAROLINA. THE ODDS ARE THEY WILL DO FAIRLY
WELL IN NEVADA ALTHOUGH NOT AT
WELL IF HELD A MONTH AGO.
HE’S BEEN DAMAGED BY IOWA AND
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
NEW HAMPSHIRE. NOT SO MUCH BY IOWA, GIVEN THE
FACT THEY STILL HAVEN’T FIGURED
OUT HOW TO COUNT VOTES.
THIS IS DIFFERENT.
NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS FINALLY
SEPARATED FROM THE IOWA CAUCUS
WHICH IS A WONDERFUL THING,
BECAUSE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE PEOPLE
ACTUALLY PERFORM DEMOCRACY.
THEY GET OUT OF THEIR HOMES OUT
OF THEIR CARS AND GO AND VOTE.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. >> UNLIKE IOWA, WHERE YOU SIT
THERE AND SOMEONE OFFERS YOU A
SNICKER BAR AND YOU MOVE TO SOME
OTHER CANDIDATE.
OTHER CANDIDATE. >> I DON’T THINK IT’S QUITE THAT
WAY, MIKE, EVEN THOUGH THAT
WORKED FOR YOU THE ONE YEAR YOU
BECAME AN IOWA RESIDENT.
>> ONE OF THOSE BIG ONES.
>> LIKE DONALD TRUMP, PERFECTION
OR REJECTION.
OR REJECTION. JUST DON’T DO ANY OF THAT.
>> AT AN EVENT FOR MAYOR
BUTTIGIEG LAST NIGHT, AND HE’S
GOT BIG CROWDS, INCREDIBLE
PERFORMANCE.
PERFORMANCE. VIRTUAL WHYTIE IN IOWA.
GAG TO OUR POINT, THE EXTENT
PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT JOE
BIDEN.
BIDEN. THERE TO SUPPORT BUTTIGIEG.
PEOPLE THERE TO SEE HIM MEMBERS
OF THE PRESS, JOE BIDEN WHERE IS
HE GOING TO FINISH?
IN THIRD, IN FOURTH, IN FIFTH
PLACE POTENTIALLY AND WHAT DOES
THAT MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF HIS
CAMPAIGN?
CAMPAIGN? THIS PLACE IS ABOUT PETE
BUTTIGIEG, BERNIE SANDERS, AMY
KLOBUCHAR AND ELIZABETH WARREN,
YES, BUT JOE BIDEN IS THE
BACKDROP OF ALL THIS.
>> TO HIS CREDIT, HE’S MANAGED
EXPECTATIONS A LITTLE MORE IN
NEW HAMPSHIRE THAN IN IOWA.
MAKING IT CLEAR THIS IS NOT A
STATE HE PLANS TO PERFORM WELL
IN.
IN. BUT I THINK THE BIG QUESTION TO
PA WHAT MIKE SAID, CAN HE RAISE
THE FUNDS NECESSARY TO STAY IN
THE RACE?
THE RACE? AND HE’S NOT BEEN ABLE TO
SUCCESSFULLY RAISE THAT GRASS
ROOTS DONATIONS NEARLY ALL OTHER
FRONT-RUNNERS HAS BEEN ABLE TO
RAISE.
RAISE. THE QUESTION, CAN HE MAKE IT TO
SOUTH CAROLINA WITH THE FUNDS
RAISED SO FAR?
IF HE CAN, HE CAN WIN SOUTH
CAROLINA THEN GO INTO SUPER
TUESDAY WITH MOMENTUM.
THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WILL BE
CRUCIAL FOR JOE BIDEN, BUT HIS
CAMPAIGN HAS PRETTY MUCH ALL BUT
SAID THEY DON’T PLAN TO DO WELL
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, EXPECTING A
FOURTH OR FIFTH PLACE FINISH AND
WANT TO MOVE ON.
>> THE TOUGH THING ABOUT JOE
BIDEN, JOE, IS THAT THIS STATE
IS UNIQUELY IN A WAY UNIQUELY
MADE FOR HIM TO CAMPAIGN IN.
IT’S CAMPAIGNING IN THE PALM OF
YOUR HAND.
YOUR HAND. >> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. >> YOU CAN HIT THREE, FOUR
CITIES IN FIVE OR SIX HOURS
TRAVELING.
TRAVELING. AND YOU GO TO THESE EVENTS.
I WAS AT AN EVENT EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING ON THE WEST SIDE OF
MANCHESTER.
MANCHESTER. TERRIFIC EVENT.
TERRIFIC EVENT. SCHOLARSHIP BREAKFAST FOR A
BELOVED LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
ENGLISH TEACHER, JOE SULLIVAN,
AND THE PLACE WAS PACKED WITH
TEACHERS, RETIRED TEACHERS,
COPS, FIREFIGHTERS.
COPS, FIREFIGHTERS. >> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. >> IT’S AMAZING THE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE WHO NOT ONLY LIKE JOE
BIDEN BUT WANT TO LIKE JOE
