Chuck Todd: ‘Matters Could Hardly Be Worse Right Now for Democrats’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TODD: “And a good Sunday morning from Manchester, New Hampshire. We are back again at our better than ever headquarters in new Hampshire where two days from now voters will either untangle the mess created in Iowa or more likely further complicate the Democrats’ path to the white House. One thing we did learn this week, Iowa may not be able to count, but it still counts. Pete buttigieg’s strong showing and Joe Biden’s fourth place Iowa finish have sent their candidacies in opposite trajectories. The latest WBZ Boston Globe suffolk tracking poll shows Bernie Sanders with just a two-point lead over buttigieg, who has surged this week, 24-22 with Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden and Amy klobuchar trailing. Klobuchar picked up the most overnight. Perhaps seeing a bump from the debate. Since Tuesday buttigieg has gained 7 points overall and Biden has lost 5 overall in that poll. The other thing we learned is that matters could hardly be worse right now for Democrats. The Iowa vote count fiasco is a national impairment. The Democratic Party is divided against itself, left versus center left.”
