tv   Erin Burnett Out Front  CNN  January 20, 2016 4:00pm-5:01pm PST

4:00 pm
thanks very much, gloria borger, reporting for us. that's it for me. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer. tweet me @cnnsitroom. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. next, breaking news. donald trump, new polls showing him beating ted cruz 20 points in a major state. plus, donald trump fighting for every vote in iowa. if he wins it there, is it smooth sailing to the nomination? let's go "outfront." good evening to all of you. i'm erin burnett "outfront" tonight. we begin with donald trump in the lead. donald trump is a whopping 20 points ahead of his nearest rival ted cruz in the state of new hampshire.
4:01 pm
this is the new poll from us here at cnn along with wmur. it adds to the mounting evidence that trump could win an overwhelming victory in new hampshire. that's the first state to hold au a primary. and bob dole saying of ted cruz, "i don't know how he's going to deal with congress. nobody likes him." and then "trump could probably work with congress. he's got the right personality and he's kind of a deal maker." trump began his day in iowa slamming cruz's canadian birth and then saying that cruz covered up loans from big banks. >> they own him. and what he did was wrong because he didn't want you to know that he's dealing with banks because he puts him down, that he's just like all the other guys. okay? it's wrong. it's wrong. it's really wrong. >> trump today also appearing
4:02 pm
with sarah palin, getting a very fiery speech. jim acosta is there and is "outfront." palin and trump seems very comfortable together. >> reporter: yeah. it looks like they've been out on the campaign trail for months. this is only day two. donald trump and sarah palin once again together, less than two weeks to go to the iowa caucuses. both sides seem to be throwing cold water on that idea. palin supporters and palin support just might be exactly what trump needs to get over the top in this campaign. >> ladies and gentlemen, governor sarah palin. >> reporter: going rogue times two. donald trump and sarah palin dishing out the conservative red meat. palin praised trump as the only conservative who can stand up to washington. >> our candidate is ballsy enough to get out there and put those issues on the table.
4:03 pm
>> reporter: trump was eating up every minute. palin's jaw-dropping endorsement lit up the universe of 21st campaigning. >> reporter: iowa is stupid, lady and the trump screamed the new york post. >> she said what you're doing, donald, is amazing. it's a movement and it is a movement. >> reporter: asked how he landed the endorsement, trump said the former alaska governor reached out to him. >> i've always liked her a lot and respected her a lot and she called and sees what is happening with the campaign, she sees what i'm saying and she sees it's become like a movement. >> reporter: but one of trump's sons eric says the connection runs deeper than that. >> she's gotten to know us and his family and his wife and she really likes him and really cares about him and believes that he will do a phenomenal job. >> reporter: trump and palin share more than admiration for
4:04 pm
each other. michael glassner now works for trump and said he doubts palin would want the job. >> i don't think she'd want to do it. i really don't get into it right now. >> reporter: palin already has her eye on another job in the trump administration. >> i think a lot about department of energy and if i were head of that, i'd get rid of it. >> reporter: now, there may also be a palin effect on trump's stump speech. the billionaire tycoon tore into ted cruz's eligibility to be president. when palin was at trump's side in oklahoma, he did not go after cruz. we should mention, he was once endorsed by the former alaska governor nor when he was running for the senate. >> it seems like her endorsement is more pro-trump than anti-cruz. >> reporter: maybe a little bit. >> thank you, jim acosta.
4:05 pm
sunlen serfaty is at a trump campaign in new hampshire tonight. the iowa governor slammed cruz saying don't vote for i am had. how is ted cruz handling the pile-on? >> reporter: it's interesting, erin. we've seen ted cruz spin this to try to capitalize on these hits against him. specifically, with bob dole and the iowa governor. we really see ted cruz almost shift into his comfort zone where he is as a candidate and really try to hold this up as a badge of honor, proof, basically, in essence, that he thinks he's the anti-establishment candidate of this gop cycle. touting tonight that they've raised a lot of money, $700,000 since the iowa governor's attack yesterday, holding it up as the establishment wing of the party being in panic mode. here's what he said moments ago here in hollis. >> and we're seeing something
4:06 pm
remarkable happening here in this republican primary. right now, the washington establishment is abandoning marco rubio. they've made the assessment that marco can't run this race and the washington establishment is rushing over to support donald trump. we're seeing that happen every day and mr. trump is welcoming the support of the washington establishment. indeed, mr. trump said that they should support him because he said ted wouldn't go along to get along. he won't make deals with the democrats. well, i don't think there are a whole lot of republicans that think the problem with republican leadership is that they are unwilling to make deals with the democrats. the problem with republican leadership is that they make deals on everything they surrender at the outset. they stand for nothing. >> speaker of the house. >> reporter: and that was interesting because what we saw from ted cruz, tieing them both to the establishment party. this is a very good position that he likes to be in, erin, touting that he's the
4:07 pm
anti-establishment among all of them. erin? >> sunlen, thank you very much. standing in the back room while ted cruz is talking to the rally. "outfront" now, amanda carpenter and donald trump's campaign spokesperson katrina pierson. tonight it's bob dole saying that a cruz victory would be t catacylsmic. >> he's shown really bad judgment. bob dole opposed ronald reagan and now he's going in for donald trump. i don't see how this logically makes sense. there's a big, fat target on his back. donald trump has a big lead in the polls but i think it's been donald trump's deliberate strategy to play the media. the palin endorsement is designed to keep him in the
4:08 pm
headlines until the iowa caucus. as long as cruz doesn't get caught up on fighting the media war and having those conversations with the media, explaining his position on ethanol, i think he's going to perform well. >> katrina, bob dole is an establishment republican, right? the iowa governor, the longest-serving governor in american history, not just longest serving living governor, coming out against ted cruz. are you glad or are you worried that the establishment, which donald trump also professes to dismiss, might be coming around to support him? >> well, it hasn't worried me at all because we all know it's going to take a coalition to win in the general, anyway. amanda knows there really is no method to these types of things when it comes to governor palin. if she wants to support you, she will reach out to you and support you. there was no secret media sou e
4:09 pm
sourcery going on there. we're seeing articles in "the hill" and "politico" saying that they are warming up to the idea. he's ahead by so much, they would be fools to not ged ahead of their own nominee, which looks like it's going to be donald trump. >> this is a tough one for ted cruz. without her endorsement, he wouldn't have one his senate seat. >> endorsements are good. it's better to have endorsements than not have endorsements. but i want to pick up on something that katrina said, there's no method. palin rose to national prominence in the aftermath of the bank bailout. it really gave birth to the tea party. donald trump is for the bailouts, conservatives opposed to stimulus. there's big issues, like eminent domain. i have a hard time seeing what made sarah palin to lead that
4:10 pm
endorsement. maybe she maybe the decision that polls and personality is more important than principles. i don't think many voters agree with that assessment. i would like to hear more about the policy reasons she got behind donald trump. because as a conservative who has been a big fan of hers for a long time, i'm having a hard time following the logic. >> it would be one thing if donald trump had cast votes for them or made policies. as a businessman, he wasn't in any of these meetings or briefed on any of these topics so any of the bills that amanda is talking about. what donald trump was concerned about is saving jobs. he employs tens and thousands of people. and when the whole government is saying, we have to do these things or the economy is going to collapse and it's going to fail, of course he was like, well, if the whole government is going to collapse, maybe we should move forward with this. it was a business decision. not something that he was in a room with politicians being briefed on or even reading the legislation. we can look back, even to ronald reagan, who was a democrat, who
4:11 pm
campaigned for democrats and supported liberal policies. this is exactly the same thing. so if the cruz campaign wants to keep promoting reagan, then they are promoting donald trump. >> i really hope that someone who is campaigning to be president would take an interest in the bank bailouts. donald trump is on record supporting it in statements and this is an issue that you didn't have to be a senator or member of congress to understand that republicans in washington were working with democrats to get $700 billion to wall street that is coming out of the -- >> including goldman sachs. >> i will say, just for the record, they did pay back every dollar with interest. >> my point is, this is the issue that really divided republicans and conservatives at that time. this is the reason we have a term like the establishment. because that was such a divisive issue. and donald trump stood with wall street and not with regularity party people at that time. >> so -- >> today. that's the question. >> well, he did very well for himself.
4:12 pm
i'm not sure everyone else has done as well as donald trump. >> thank you both very much. this is going to be, i guess there will be a part two and three on this one. next, donald trump with a laser focus on iowa voters. if trump wins there, is he all but certain to be the nominee? it's a question many people thought would never be asked. plus, clinton supporters calling sanders a socialist and not in a complementary fashion. will that stop sanders or not? and 65 million americans in the path of a major, epic snowstorm. warnings that the numbers here could be historic. the latest forecast is coming at this hour "outfront." i have asthma...
4:13 pm
...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents.
4:14 pm
breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. and ca"super food?" is that recommend sya real thing?cedar? it's a great school, but is it the right one for her? is this really any better than the one you got last year? if we consolidate suppliers, what's the savings there? so should we go with the 467 horsepower? ...or is a 423 enough? good question. you ask a lot of good questions... i think we should move you into our new fund.
4:15 pm
sure... ok. but are you asking enough about how your wealth is managed? wealth management at charles schwab. what's that, broheim? i switched to geico and got more. more savings on car insurance? yeah bro-fessor, and more. like renters insurance. more ways to save. nice, bro-tato chip. that's not all, bro-tein shake. geico has motorcycle and rv insurance, too. oh, that's a lot more. oh yeah, i'm all about more, teddy brosevelt. geico. expect great savings and a whole lot more.
4:16 pm
tonight, a brand-new poll out of new hampshire, a very strong poll for donald trump, a 20-point lead for the businessman, the gop front-runner. ted cruz at 14 and jeb bush and marco rubio tied at 10. that's new hampshire. that means iowa becomes crucial. if trump could win them both, some think this could be over. the latest poll in iowa showing cruz with a three-point edge over trump. it's within the margin of error but it is advantage cruz. sara murray is "outfront." >> don't forget, iowa hasn't picked that winner for 16 years. if they pick somebody other than
4:17 pm
me, they are going to pick another loser. >> reporter: donald trump barrels into iowa for boisterous rallies. >> thank you. it's a hell of a crowd. >> reporter: leaving behind a sleepy campaign office and a tight-lipped team to nontraditional voters into a big night on caucus night all while his biggest competitor ted cruz barn storms by bus. >> i believe the only way to win and compete in the state of iowa is to come and spend the time asking the voters for their support. and if a candidate is not doing that, that out to be an indication. >> reporter: an army of volunteers working the fronts while cruz works to hit every one of iowa's 99 counties. >> ted cruz. >> reporter: cruz has held nearly three times as many events in iowa as trump has since 2012. but, like all things trump, his playbook is unconventional,
4:18 pm
leading his iowa effort, the man who engineered rick santorum's last-minute victory in 2012. >> if he doesn't do good, chuck, you're fired. >> reporter: predicting his ground game will surprise on caucus night. >> i know we go radio silent on those things but there's nothing about this campaign that's like all the rest or any of those in the past. >> reporter: some iowa voters aren't sure what to make of trump's unorthodox campaign. >> do you think that donald trump can win in a place like iowa? >> reporter: well, it's going to be chance. >> reporter: others can't blame a billionaire with a jet for rarely overnighting in iowa. >> i think he has his own world and i think we knew that before he arrives in a jet and leaves in a jet. it's okay. >> reporter: just over a week from the iowa caucuses, trump may be second guessing his go-big strategy. last week, he made a rare app r
4:19 pm
appearance at a campaign stop, a pizza ranch. >> thank you, everybody. >> reporter: donald trump may feel like he has more wriggle room than some of his competitors. he can turn out thousands where his gop rivals would be thrilled to just have hundreds of supporters. it's clear that donald trump is not taking any chances. he told his supporters in iowa today that he's spending more money on the airwaves, that he's going to be here next week. he told them they need to show up on february 1st, even if it's the worst day of their life, saying he wants to win iowa. otherwise, this has been a waste of time. >> sara murray, thank you very much, "outfront" from iowa. "outfront" next, corey, good to have you with me. the governor of iowa opposes ted cruz. said don't vote for him. but there are a thousand precinct chairs, a dormitory for out of state people to come in
4:20 pm
and campaign while they get people to caucus. is your ground game good enough to overcome all of that and get the few extra points you need? >> well, let's wait in 12 days and see. if ted cruz wins iowa, we'll be sd disappointed. we want to win iowa and we want to win in new hampshire and in south carolina and nevada and right down the line. we'll find out in 12 days. i think what you'll find, from the beginning of this campaign in june until today, many pundits and political operatives continue to underestimate donald trump, many at their own peril. >> the magic number that you're looking for for turnout in iowa is 38,000. that will be the highest in history for a republican, the highest that we could find was mike huckabee at 41,000 votes. so 48,000 would be a record. are you shooting for a record? >> well, again, i don't want to
4:21 pm
say that we're taking our advice from "the new york times." donald trump has said many times that "the new york times" has been inaccurate and that's not a number that they've gotten from this campaign. if that's what they are reporting, i hope they are willing to stand by it because that's not the number that we are reporting. >> you want to win it but year not predicting a record? >> we're not predicting anything. we're hoping for a great night. we want to win iowa. mr. trump was here yesterday and today and back here again in a few days and we're going to compete very competitively in the state of iowa. it's a lot easier to say, look, second place is a great finish, too, but that's not the case. we want to win and that's what the american people want. they want a winner. >> when you say american people want a winner, you want to win, that's everything donald trump talks about, right? he talks about being a winner and that the united states will win more if he's president. but in terms of the polls and winning, let me play for you how he said it. >> i'm winning with the smart
4:22 pm
people. i'm winning with the not so smart people, too. i'm winning with everything. >> i do believe we're winning iowa and if you pick me, you're going to pick a winner. >> we want to see winning. we want to see win, win, win. >> you know, he says it in a very compelling way. but corey, you talk about coming in number two. obviously that doesn't mean you're going to lose the nomination. it often doesn't mean that when it comes to iowa. but for donald trump, would a it lose his brand of being the best, being the winner? >> why would you want to compete for number two when you want to be number one? i don't fundamentally understand it. candidates say maybe i'll finish second or third or fourth and be happy for that? absolutely not. we want to win over single primary and caucus available to us. we want to go on and win the nomination, if we're fortunate to do that, go on and ultimately win the general election. we're going to compete for first place everywhere because that's the type of thinking that the
4:23 pm
country needs for once. >> so sarah palin has appeared with donald trump, obviously the big endorsement. he said that palin reached out to him about the endorsement. what can you tell us about it, corey? how long was the process? >> well, governor palin and donald trump have had a long-standing relationship. i think she understands that donald trump is the only candidate in this race that can change our country fundamentally. to go to washington and truly make our country great again. she understands how desperate our country is right now, the desir to have better trade deals, to get our debt under control and leave our country better tomorrow than it is left to our children today. something has to fundamentally change and i think sarah palin understands that. >> she also, of course, helps him, hopefully, from your point of view, dramatically from evangelicals, a view that cruz is trying to hang onto as well. he was at a campaign stop
4:24 pm
moments ago and was responding to bob dole who said he'd prefer donald trump than ted cruz. ted cruz talked about the order of his values. i want to play for you exactly what he said. >> reporter: well, listen, it's exactly right that in terms of who i am, i am a christian first, an american second, a conservative third and a republican fourth and i'll tell you, there are a whole lot of people in this country that feel exactly the same way, that are fed up with republican leadership. >> corey, how would mr. trump rank his values? would he do the same thing as ted cruz and quit being a republican or american or conservative? >> i don't want to speak for mr. trump because i don't do that. what i do think is that people think that just because you're a christian or evangelical, that you don't care about the other issues. i don't think that's true at l all. so being an evangelical is not a
4:25 pm
single bucket person. mr. trump has talked about this the whole campaign, the notion that just because you're a self-described evangelical, doesn't mean you don't care about having a job or our national debt is preposterous. it's support is wide, deep and wide across the board and people are very conservative supporting donald trump the most. the people moderately conservative. right across the board. his broad base is so wide, that's why he's done so well in these poll ace cross the country, including up 32 points in florida today, up 20 points in your poll in new hampshire. i mean, he's the clear front-runner in this race and we're going to know in 12 days what the people of iowa decide. >> corey, thank you very much. >> "outfront" next, the "s" word, bernie sanders proudly calling himself socialist. a massive blizzard is about

4:30 pm
hillary clinton is about to take the stage in burlington, iowa. her race is bernie sanders is too close to call. as hillary clinton's national lead shrinks, bernie sanders is trying out the "s" word on his opponent. >> reporter: bernie sanders is a proud democratic socialist. >> let me continue. you call yourself a democratic socialist? >> i do. >> reporter: and now hillary clinton's allies want to turn the label against him. with sanders on the rise in the democratic primary fight, some clinton supporters are increasingly throwing out the "s" word, saying the socialist could spell doom for the party. >> he's not electable in a general election and that's because of the elephant in the room. he's a socialist. >> reporter: while clinton hasn't said the word "socialist"
4:31 pm
tonight she's running a television ad saying she's the most electable. senator claire mccaskill said republicans can't wait to run an ad with the hand hammer and sickle. >> they are helping him in every way that they can and i think it tells everybody all they need to know. >> reporter: today in oklahoma, donald trump seemed happy to do just that. >> can you imagine, this socialist communist is doing well? no, he's beating hillary clinton. can you believe this? i would really love to run against bernie sanders. >> reporter: sanders gave a speech at georgetown last year defining socialism. >> i'm not coming before the american peopling saying, look, i'm this radical, wide-eyed socialist. crazy ideas. but listen to me. we want to raise the minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour. raising the minimum wage widely
4:32 pm
popular. i want to create 13 million jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. wildly popular. >> reporter: but the line between socialism and communism is a fine one. opened to being misinterpreted by voters or exploited by rivals. this week, nettleton is alarmed at how many republicans would define him. >> i think it would be political suicide. >> for the party? >> yes, i do. in my view. >> reporter: and that is the challenge for sanders to show that he can keep socialism from becoming the kryptonite for the democratic party that could cripple this democratic party. in the final days of this campaign, the closing arguments are shaping up. it's revolutionary for bernie sanders and results for hillary clinton but some appear to be in the mood for a revolution. >> well said. thank you, jeff zeleny.
4:33 pm
let's go to tom foreman. iowa and new hampshire do not a nomination make. so, tom, let's start with how senator sanders has shaken up the race. certainly nobody has expected him to be where he is right now. >> reporter: yeah. he's up into the early numbers for the clinton campaign. look at the early voting states, erin. if you look at iowa, we know the numbers there right now are in a dead heat. very tight there. we know that in new hampshire he's stomping her. she's doing very well in south carolina and in nevada but in that first month, if it comes out this way, he gets rid of the whole argument about her inreceii inevitably and then look at these other states and it become as long slog, not a dash to the nomination. yes, hillary clinton could do very well, for example, in the southeast where there are a lot of minority voters. polls show that they like her a lot. bernie sanders shows that in many places he could do well with white voters and younger
4:34 pm
voters and the polls say they like him, too, erin. >> some of the red states that sanders is eyeing, it's a caucus state. why would that possibly make the difference for him? >> the caucus states could be really important. let's bring them up here. they could be important for several reasons. first of all, passion. caucus is requiring you to come out for the whole evening to talk about voting. you're involved for a while. who does that? passionate voters. right now, senator has a lot of passion followers. add a caucus as people change their votes and discuss them, it gives a chance for the passioned voters to sway others to the sanders cause. and the caucus matters for bernie sanders because every state matters in this broad attack. look, go back to 2008. look at what barack obama did. all of his winning states here are in the dark blue. hillary clinton's in the light blue. look at this and see, he did not go into democratic strong holds
4:35 pm
and get some door-closing deals here. he had a lot of grindy little winds that went on for weeks and weeks and weeks. he forced hillary clinton's campaign into a marathon when it was built for a sprint. and you can bet that bernie sanders is strapping on his racing shoes right now hoping he can do the same thing. erin? >> tom, thank you very much. let's go to bernie sanders' campaign. thanks for being with me, tad. obviously, momentum right now, the polls look strong in iowa and new hampshire. but the reality is, he is still in a deep hole, trailing by 15 points in the newest monday moth university poll. 52-37. that's still a really tough lead to make up. how can you do that? >> well, we moved 18 points in that poll in the last month. so i think there's plenty of room to grow. this process begins in iowa and goes to new hampshire.
4:36 pm
we've built great campaigns on the ground in both of those states if you come out of those early states with victory, you can get incredible momentum and that's always been our plan. we'll go out to nevada and south carolina. we have people in place in all of the march 1st states. the democratic voters are looking for someone to take on an economy that sends the wealth to the top. bernie's message is resonating and we'll deliver that message and if we do, i think he's going to win. >> you heard jeff zeleny say that he's looking for a revolution. but the argument was made last night on the show, republicans are dying to run against sanders, in part because of comments like this one, a light-hearted comment he made with larry. here he is. >> do you think america is ready for the first socialist president? >> yeah, i do. i do. >> all right. they are eating fried chicken there. >> yes, i noticed that.
4:37 pm
>> today, claire mccaskill a, a clinton supporter, says that is a problem because they can't wait to run an ad with a hammer and a sickle. do you think it would be suicide because of the socialist issue? >> no, i'm not. i can't think of two people who have been more attacked for being a socialist than franklin roosevelt and barack obama. what bernie sanders is proposing is to take on a rigged economy in america, to break up the big bags, to fight for health care for every citizen, to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, to demand for equal work for women. this is an agenda which i think is the mainstream agenda of american politics. people understand that's what he wants to do as president. they also understand he's prepared to take on a powerful interest on behalf of people. >> a poll we found says that americans are resistant to voting to are a socialist.
4:38 pm
50% said they won't vote for a socialist candidate. you can get left with 50 and still win the whole thing. however, half the country writing off senator sanders before he even gets going, that's tough. >> i don't think you can take one question from a poll months ago and say this is going to predict the elect that happens this november. the american people have begun to learn about bernie sanders he's someone willing to stand up to powerful interests, someone who cares about the issues. he's someone who tells the truth as he sees it. he's someone willing to speak truth to power. i think that's resonates with them. i don't think this label is going to get in the way of bernie sanders and his victory. particularly in iowa and new hampshire. if they look at the poll you just put out, he's beating donald trump 23 points in new hampshire. he's beating the republicans by massive margin. hillary clinton is barely beating them and losing some of
4:39 pm
them. >> tad devine, thank you. all three democratic candidates are going to take part in a town hall monday night at 9:00 here on cnn. "outfront" next, winter is finally here and it's coming in with a bang. 65 million americans are going to find out what is about to hit you. sarah palin and what happened after her election loss and tv career? with my moderato severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems,
4:40 pm
