Brzezinski: Clinton’s Crowds ‘Like Crickets’ When Compared to Sanders

Geist: ‘These are rallies, these are not events where people are staged and roped in’

SCARBOROUGH: “Today! As Larry David. Today!” (Laughter)
BRZEZINSKI: “People were saying that to me as a bad thing.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Willie— no, that’s a good thing. Who would not want Larry David as president.”
BRZEZINSKI: “I know.”
SCARBOROUGH: “The contrast between Bernie’s crowds and —“
BRZEZINSKI: “It was like crickets in there.”
SCARBOROUGH: “And Hillary’s crowds. Amazing.”
GEIST: “We have one candidate on the each side whose events looked totally unconventional from other things we have seen in American presidential politics. Barack Obama had big crowds too, so we have seen it there too But Bernie Sanders these are rallies, these are not events where people are staged and roped in. Those are people dying to be in the room with him by the thousands. And we all know how these things work. If he wins Iowa, if wins New Hampshire, then all bets are off. She still has a big 25-point national lead. She has advantages in certain demographics. But if he does those two first states watch out.”
HALPERIN: “Confidence in politics matters as much as it does in sports."
BRZEZINSKI: "You see him believing it."
HALPERIN: “He’s so confident. I ran into him yesterday in the Hilton in Columbia and I say this advisedly he was in a good mood.”(Laughter)
SCARABOROUGH: “Bernie Sanders good mood or good mood for normal people?”
HALPERIN: “He’s confident. His operation is confident that they still that have momentum--"
BRZEZINSKI: "It's amazing."
HALPERIN: "They left that debate and they both spoke at the same Martin Luther King event at the state house in Columbia, and he’s not intimidated by her and he’s confident that his message has resonance. She has tons of advantages and we shouldn’t think of this as Sanders as the favorite. He’s still the underdog but confidence is so important and he has it now.”
