NightSide - Taking The Political Pulse

BOSTON (CBS) - With the Iowa caucus less than a week away, there is plenty to talk about in the political realm! In a reversal of position on the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton is now pushing for an extra debate between Iowa and New Hampshire, presumably to try to make up some of the ground she has lost to a surging Bernie Sanders. But Bernie, who was wanted more debates from the beginning, says he won't agree to it unless Clinton agrees to more debates after New Hampshire as well. Meanwhile, on the GOP side, Trump says he will most likely skip tomorrow's Republican debate despite Ted Cruz showing strength in Iowa. We'll talk about both races and what to watch for over the final few days leading up to the official start of the primary season.

Originally broadcast January 27th, 2016.
