just a quick thought on that from you, doug collins. is this a sign that the field will winnow now to 1 or 2 against trump? >> oh yeah, it is going to and you expect it to at a certain point as the odds are just -- the polls are showing that donald trump is in the lead. he is staying in the lead not going down anywhere. the movement that is spoke of by pundits saying desantis and haley are moving are marginal. you'll think these fall away. after iowa and new hampshire it will fall down even further. >> harris: there were plans a, b, c, d, e, f on the republican side but not on the left. why is that? why is it still, patrick, anybody but biden when they can't even use the name bidenomics not because they don't work. that would be a good reason. because his name is in it and they poll so poorly. would they call it neutralomics? >> let's make the country great again is the new slogan. >> that will work. then you could call it trump on mix. >> i was in congress where we had affordable healthcare. a lot of folks called in obamacare. it wasn'

doug, to you first. should voters be jazzed about this economy?, i think there is much good news about the economy but they are sure not feeling it. the problem is people are having problems paying for their gasoline, paying for their groceries, and even if inflation is coming down, as it is, they are not feeling it and the white house is doing the right thing to abandon or play down bidenomics as a phrase because if it doesn't work, i can tell you in politics, you have to cut your losses and move on and that's what the white house and certainly the house democrats are doing. >> sandra: matt, i guess there is also a risk with continuing to attach yourself so directly to the economy if things should sour further as we get closer to election day. so should they be ditching bidenomics? >> some already have. i love what they are trying to do there. a story at nbc. 18 of the 19 democratic targets never utter bidenomics. dccc doesn't use it. at the end of the day it is not the tactics, it's the strategy. doug alludes to it. they are going around the cou

david: and then, doug, we have the problem of security.oth national security and international security. everybody thought the focus was going to be on the economy, but the world seems to be falling apart right now and our border is certainly falling apart. how much of a concern is that for democrats? >> it's a real concern, particularly now at the southern border. with unfettered and seemingly unlimited immigration, the sex trafficking, drug trafficking, and the enormous cost to our economy and even liberal cities like new york are being overrun financially by illegal immigrants who are unable to stay in their countries and we don't have unlimited compassion or resources to provide for everyone. indeed, the war in ukraine is at best for the ukrainian stalemated, and in the middle east we're all hoping against hope that a wider conflict does not emerge as we see the houthi rebels in yemen attacking u.s. ships. i think over 100 times without a meaningful u.s. response and that leaves iran, hamas, and indeed all the terrorists as targets for

is this just a question, doug, of a lag in people's feelings from the way the numbers are moving? >> no, i don't think so, and look, you can talk about economic indicators, that's higher level talk than the people on main street who are actually paying bills and stuff like food, clothing, bacon, eggs, milk, those things. when inflation went up those prices stayed up, and the energy costs went up. they are still higher than when joe biden came in and the reality for people seeing the economy and interesting enough to discount polls, to discount reporting, but it is becoming evident even among mainstream media that does cover the president very well and credit to most everything he does, they are acknowledging the fact most americans are not happy with the way the economy is for them. here is the issue. you can cite statistics on all you want but the perception is the reality and the reality for most, they are paying more and they feel it every time they go out. >> kaivan, do you see the numbers shifting significantly over the next few months? this is becoming critical for president

doug, i didn't know you're so old.ou look so young going back to '72. >> thank you, neil, you look longer, too. neil: and i covered the 1872. >> we've talked about the lincoln race. neil: have a wonderful holiday. good seeing the both of you. if you're flying out anywhere, they say pack your patience, between the storm and the delays and the very few airports that have cinnamons, it's not going to go well. ♪ hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage so we don't have to worry about it" conversation. so you're calling about the $9.95 a month plan -from colonial penn? -i am. we put it off long enough. we are getting that $9.95 plan, today. (jonathan) is it time for you to call about the $9.95 plan? i'm jonathan from colonial penn life insurance company. sometimes we

doug, what are you expecting from this debate?it appears -- as the only other candidate to qualify for this stage so far. >> i think sparks will fly, but every time they do in these republican debates, the policy and ideas fall flat. and i think that's what you'll see again. one of the things i really hope in this debate, since they are in alabama, i really hope these moderators will ask each one of them the question about whether or not they support tommy tuberville and his assault on the american military, or if they would push to get these over 400 generals confirmed, and flag officers. that is an important piece of national security, it's an important piece, and it's alabama centric. i'm hoping to see that as well. but i kind of doubt it, to be honest with you. >> now, trump is expected to skip the debate yet again. this weekend, he's an iowa, claiming he's gonna repeal and replace obamacare, a promise he made in his first term and never delivered on. take a listen. >> we're also going to fight to give much better health care

>> i tend to agree with doug. if dame trump were to run the tables in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina i really do not see a path. i do think that if donald trump is convicted in one of these trials, that could perhaps change the calculation a little bit. i still would like to think that republican voters might, at some point, say donald trump is too great of a risk. we really want to throw a presidential election on a guy who is a convicted felon. that is the only thing there. nikki haley, i believe, if she can make a strong run in new hampshire, it looks like she's surging. if the iowa voters go trump, sometimes new hampshire, they like to zig when the other states zag. i can think nikki haley might have a path here in new hampshire. it could, perhaps, change the trajectory of the race a little bit. but it all hangs in new hampshire for her. >> the force has to be with her a little bit, at least in iowa. she cannot sink and iowa and rely all in new hampshire. how does she have to do in iowa if she does well i
