Transcript for Van Jones Thinks Bernie Sanders is 'Going to Win Iowa'

And we're back with the powerhouse roundtable. Let's get right into Donald Trump's escalating attacks on bill Clinton. Alice, you live in Little Rock, Arkansas, you know a lot about bill Clinton, is it fair to go after him that way? Well, here's the question -- I live across town from the Clinton library, filled with volumes of his history as a great economic leader of this country but also there's part of his record which is the very reason why "The Wall Street journal" this week referred to him as no one in American politics betters personifies a war on women. Than Mrs. Clinton's husband. The New Hampshire leader referred to him as a serial philander. So for Hillary Clinton to claim she's out there for fighting for women, that takes that issue off the table. In terms of that issue out on the campaign table she cannot discuss that. Do you agree with that, van. Bill Clinton is very, very popular. Gallup in may had him at 59% likability. The one thing that you can do to make Hillary Clinton more likable among independents is to attack her on this very issue. Trump in the short term, he's firing up his base. Hillary Clinton is firing up her base. But this is going to come down to the middle and the middle when you look at it over and over again, people don't like you going after a woman because of her husband. It's going to backfire. That's not what the issue. The issue is, Hillary Clinton has said, women like bill Cosby's accusers is, quote, they have the right to believe. Is not what she said with her husband. It was in her court. In the white house, she went and orchestrated this assault on these women who challenged bill Clinton on this very same issue. Can I just say, if this truly dominating the democratic race as we go into 2016, shame on us, because this is Donald Trump is the best manipulator of media and conversation since P.T. Barnum. We do this every week, he finds something outrageous to say, somebody new to pick on -- attention is his prime directive and I don't think voters really care about this. She's going to fire up her base and he's going to fire up his. I don't think this is a big issue. Let me move on to the next few months, "The New York times" this week looked back through old polls and it turned out that candidates who led in Iowa or New Hampshire with just one month to go have lost as often as they have won. So, any predictions of a shakeup, I want to start with you, Matt, just look at the races and what you think we'll see in the next couple of months. I would never make a prediction here. We'd never expect that of you. No, I wouldn't at this point. Don't predict the outcome. Tell us what's going to happen. I was there in Iowa this week, I can tell you it's cold and I predict it will stay that way. This is a fluid race to me. One of the key Numbers here, no matter how you divide it up, 60%-plus of the republican electorate has identified with an extreme outsider like a Ted Cruz, or a Donald Trump, or a Ben Carson. The governing wing of the party, even if they can congeal around a candidate, might not have the support. Marco Rubio still doing quite well. You know, I don't think Jeb bush and John kasich are dead in new Hampshire, and I think we're going to see surprise -- That's interesting. And you're talking Ted Cruz. You encouraged me. The winner -- I think Ted Cruz does win Iowa. There's a chance Donald Trump slightly underperforms because he's doing worst in early states than he's nationally. As you get closer to picking a real president, yeah, maybe he's not the guy you want in the big chair. So, he underperforms. We go to New Hampshire, what happens there? New Hampshire looks to validate an alternative, who is that? Well, right now, it's probably trump again. But that's the opening for an establishment candidate. I think Rubio is capped by Christie, what does that mean? Christie's got a lane, if Christie can gel in new Hampshire, that could be the three-way race. Rubio had a lot of media energy this week, emerging as the establishment candidate to beat. But some reality checks to, David Axelrod tweeting, where does he win? So -- The key is, Iowa is so important, but as you said, at least two cycles, the winner of Iowa did not go on to win the nomination. The key is, having a strong organization and ground game in Iowa, but executing the same plan in New Hampshire, south Carolina, Nevada, through the early states and racking up that magic 1237 delegates needed in order to become the nominee. And I see that happening with the candidate who has strong ground game in Iowa, new Hampshire, all through the S.E.C. States, and showing that they're able to be in this for the long haul, which means organization on the ground and the money to maintain as well an air campaign. Let's hit the democrats. Bernie sanders, martin O'Malley. You talked about the person we always talk about, Donald Trump. Let's talk about the person we never talk about but we just heard from, Bernie sanders has incredible momentum. An almost media blackout. He's almost never the subject of the main conversation, but out in the country, you see a lot of Bernie sanders support, he got more contributions, individual donors, than any other in America history. I think he's going to win Iowa, he may win New Hampshire -- This man is not afraid to make -- Listen, I love Hillary Clinton, she'll be our nominee. But there is something happening in our party. The authenticity of Bernie sanders and the popularity of his agenda. Okay, we'll have a bit more
