tv   Erin Burnett Out Front  CNN  February 8, 2016 4:00pm-5:01pm PST

4:00 pm
cnn. until then, thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitz eer in "the situation room next, down to the wire just hours before the first votes in new hampshire. it is anybody's race in this state, plus sources telling cnn there's concern in the clinton camp tonight. what bill clinton says is wrong with his wife's campaign. the billionaire breaking his silence tonight. let's go "outfront." good evening, everyone. i'm erin burnett live in manchester, new hampshire tonight. donald trump speaking live to supporters here in manchester. his final pitch to voters before the nation's first primary tomorrow. the first votes cast at midnight
4:01 pm
tonight. with 1/3 of republican voters still undecided, it's still anybody's race. trump leading in the cnn daily tracking poll that came out today at 31%, down just two points from a few days ago. marco rubio second at 17%. ted cruz next with 14. jim acosta is outfront with the trump campaign. we're see a drop in that tracking poll, but i drove by that event where you are and there are already hundreds of people waiting. >> reporter: absolutely. thousands of donald trump supporters packed inside this arena new hampshire. for months, republicans have urged jeb bush to step up his attacks on donald trump. that day has finally come as bush and trump are locked in a
4:02 pm
vicious street fight. >> we have to get rid of the bushes of the world. >> reporter: just one day before the new hampshire primary, the battle for the republican nomination has descended into name calling and taunts between donald trump and his favorite target jeb bush. >> see, i'm the only one taking on donald trump. i'm not afraid of donald trump. he's like a child. he's like a spoiled child. >> reporter: but the former florida governor is no longer ignoring the attacks. >> donald trump, you're the loser. >> reporter: bush is throwing counterpunches in what may be a last-ditch effort to slam the brakes on donald trump's campaign. >> i find it remarkable that as a candidate for president he would think that's evidence he's a strong person. he's not. >> reporter: the two are at war on twitter. trump tweeting everybody is laughing at jeb bush. bush swinging back, reminding
4:03 pm
voters of trump's attacks on john mccain, a former new hampshire winner. bush tweeted you aren't just a loser. you're a liar and a winer. >> he's a sad person who has gone absolutely crazy. this guy is a nervous wreck. >> reporter: their brawl comes as a new poll shows trump still way out in front. one key question heading into the primary is how much damage was done to marco rubio after his shaky debate performance over the weekend. s >> here's the bottom line that barack obama doesn't know what he's doing is untrue. >> there it is, everybody. >> reporter: chris christie says it proves that rubio is not ready for primetime. >> when the lights get that bright, you shine or yomelt. >> why do you keep saying the
4:04 pm
same thing about obama trying to change america? i'm going to keep saying it a million times because i believe it's true. >> reporter: ted cruz also fighting for second place. >> we never viewed any of these states as a must win. we're here in new hampshire competing for the votes. at this point, it's a turnout game. >> reporter: now the trump campaign is sounding much more confident about new hampshire than about iowa. campaign manager tells cnn iowa is about informing voters about the caucus process. you're not hearing ted cruz boast about his ground game here. while it was a disappointing finish for trump in iowa, things are shaping up differently here in new hampshire. outfront, my panel.
4:05 pm
all right. we're in the final hours. you know, it's nice. it's nice when they provide the opportunity that they provided today. i'm talking about jeb bush and donald trump. but why is donald trump spending time saying i'm fighting with jeb bush? donald trump is at 31. jeb bush is at 7. is it worth donald trump's time? >> he thinks it is or he wouldn't do it. i think the issue is he he's never gone after anybody that hasn't gone after him first. he defends himself and he defends himself very well. we're within the time for people to start voting here in just a few hours here in new hampshire. i think the only poll that counts and the only thing that matters is what happens when the polls close tomorrow night and we count the votes. >> here's jeb bush talking to dana bush earlier today as part of this battle was going on.
4:06 pm
>> he is a whiner. i'm defending the honor of people i really respect. i'm the only one taking him on. everybody else runs away. >> why do you think that is? >> because they don't want to be attacked by the bully. >> jeb said he would never talk like this. in the final hours, he sounds like donald trump. will it work? >> this is about picking a president of the united states. it's not about sending a message. it's not about responding to frustration. we're also picking a president of the united states. none of the candidates know this better than jeb bush. he knows what it means from having seen his dad serve and his brother serve as president the burdens of being president. you have to have the courage to make tough decisions. you have to be a leader to lead people to do things. >> you don't think it's a bad thing that he's now using the same words that donald trump is using, that he's making it
4:07 pm
personal. >> i think he's afraid for our country. america is in a position where it has to command respect around the world. it had to earn admiration from our allies and the neutrals and it must introduce fear to our e enemies. i think jeb understands that. >> andy is sounding a little bit more like jeb bush has sounded just a couple of weeks ago. donald trump saying jeb bush is a pathetic person who is embarrassing to his family. these are quotes. i'm not making this up. who is right? >> i will say one thing emphatically. we're more than happy to sit back and watch them duke it out, throw insults at each other. ted cruz has never done that. he's not responding insults. he's not going to respond when the two of them are doing it to
4:08 pm
each other. when he was attacked and insults were thrown at him, he never responded in kind. he would respond on policies. when somebody would misrepresent his record on the policies, he would respond in that fashion, but he's never going to do personal attacks on someone, is not going to get down to that level. talk about earning the respect and admiration, andy, ted is out there looking to earn the respect and support of the people of new hampshire. he's out there shaking hands and talking with voters. it's much more than criticizing your opponent. >> you were jumping in there. >> i was going to jump in. i think the issue here -- and i don't want to push back. i have a great deal of respect for the panel. but we're not picking the president. the people of new hampshire are going to pick the president. the people of the unitedstates are going to pick the president.
4:09 pm
it's really up to the people to decide what temperament they want, what they're looking for in a president. not many candidates have tapped into what's happening in this country. it is the establishment of the party that's running scared because of the fact they have an insurgency going on. we have several candidates that are leading that insurgency and we're appealing to the people. what a concept, appeal to the people of the united states rather than what goes on inside the beltway? >> how concerned are you? coming into iowa, you were in the lead in the polls. it didn't turn out that way. are you worried now? you've got a big lead. do you think it's for real? >> i think it's for real here because it's been consistent. we were not a consistent leader in iowa. you have to remember that ben carson led for a while in iowa. ted pulled ahead for a while. i have a great deal of respect for senator cruz, as you know. here we've been a lot more consistent with what's going on. i think what we're going to see is we're going to see who is going to come in second.
4:10 pm
i think that's going to be the fascinating aspect of the race. >> you think ted cruz can come into second? >> we've never been a single state strategy campaign. we have a national strategy. while we're thrilled to have won the support by winning the iowa caucus a week ago this evening, we never expected to place number one here in new hampshire. we expect -- donald trump is faring well, but we have a multistate strategy. we're working out and connecting with the people here in new hampshire, but we're going to hit a plane to south carolina after this. we're going to get his consistent conservative message out there to the people of south carolina. that's been one of the successes of our campaign. people realize he's a consistent conservative in this race. not a washington insider. we have a long-term multistate strategy and the resources to execute that. >> thank you all very much.
4:11 pm
it's going to be an exciting 24 hours as we hear what the voters of new hampshire have to say. hillary clinton trailing bernie sanders by a having big margin. people close to the campaign say bill clinton is not happy. is michael bloomberg jumping into the race? he's speaking about this on the record for the first time tonight. should women vote for hillary clinton because she's a woman? we went to the ground today to talk to them. ♪ with advil, you'll ask what backache? what sore wrist? what headache? what bad shoulder? advil makes pain a distant memory. nothing works faster stronger or longer than advil it's the world's #1 choice.

4:15 pm
we are back in new hampshire live at the foundry restaurant in new hampshire. several people close to the campaign acknowledge that bill clinton has not been happy with his wife's campaign. this comes before an expected loss in the new hampshire primary tomorrow. the latest poll shows bernie sanders with a commanding lead of 26 points over clinton. that has actually increased. it is three points higher than it was just a few days ago. the frustration from the former president has been visible on the campaign trail. he's attacked bernie sanders calling him the chain of quote, all things small and all things
4:16 pm
big. >> the hotter this election gets, the more i wish i were just a former president and just for a few months not the spouse of the next one because i have to be careful what i say. >> what is going on inside the clinton campaign? >> i thin first and foremost there's a sense they miscalculated the energy behind bernie sanders. months ago they thought he was an interesting candidate who had the energy of the party behind him, but they did not he had the energy of real fundraising dollars behind him. his tank is full of gas in terms of money. he's raising more money online than any candidate ever has. that's making the campaign afraid. they're not quite sure how to deal with him. on the verge of a potential loss
4:17 pm
here, they're wondering what should be done. there's always some things in clinton world, some discontinen and most of it is coming from bill clinton's side. >> he's starting to speak up it seems like. >> he's trying to draw people's attention to bernie sanders. i'm told that he does not believe that enough scrutiny, enough attention has been given to bernie sanders. he thinks he's gotten a free hall pass. he's taken things on himself in trying to slow that yesterday. >> dana bash joins us as well as matthew dowd and donna brazile. how significant is some of this
4:18 pm
reporting about discontent in the clinton campaign? >> it was discussed in 2004 after a bad summer he had. john kerry had had a bad summer, came in september, he was behind. i think there was some changes that they made. i think it's never a good sign when this happens. i remember here in new hampshire in 2000 about the same exact time as we're here now when after george bush lost by 18 points to john mccain, there was all kinds of conversations from the establishment that said he needed to fire his team and change his team. he had just suffered a huge loss. george bush actually at that moment said i'm not going to change the team. they brought me here. they're going to take me there. this is who we are. i think every campaign that has been successful, if you look back at the clintons, at barack obama, at many of the campaigns, they've had a team that's been with them from day one, consistent with them throughout the campaign. this to me -- in 2008, hillary clinton did this in 2008.
4:19 pm
she started shifting her team around in the aftermath of that. it's never a good sign. if you have a flawed campaign, you have a flawed candidate. >> which is a powerful thing to say. >> david axelrod tweeted about something. he said when the exact same problems crop up in separate campaigns with different staff, at what point do the principals say, hey, maybe it's us, referring back to the clinton campaign last time around. is there a larger problem here? >> there could be. there's a saying that you guys know very well because you've been in politics for a long time. fish rot from the head. that's something that i think david axelrod is trying to say. he was a formidable opponent of hillary clinton in 2008. then they, of course, worked together at the white house and the obama white house and so forth. he is referring back to what matthew was just talking about, what happened in 2008 when the clinton campaign had to shake
4:20 pm
things up the last time. it feels different this time. she went into the campaign saying she's not going to have her kind of typical insular inner circle. she did change things up a bit, but there's no question that bill clinton, it's obvious from your reporting and what he's saying, who is still i think republicans and democrats agree the smartest political strategist out there, he thinks that it's gone the wrong direction. so he's taking it into his own hands. bill clinton not happy. a source close to the clintons tells cnn today. >> has not been forward looking enough. that's a pretty damning thing to say. >> i'm a former campaign manager. go out there and bust your
4:21 pm
butts. work hard. forget all these process stories. there's nothing more discouraging than the night before a big primary to see a bunch of pundits, press people, the newspapers telling you you're not doing your damn job. these kids have been working their butts off. they have a strategy to win. they may not be able to come in first place. bernie may come in first place, but for those of us who are grownups to start criticizing them, to start finger pointing, no. i think it's a bad strategy. i hope these stories go away. john podesta has tweeted out also. he said it's not happening. now, whether their strategy needs to change, we have 55 more contests. we've got new hampshire and then south carolina, nevada, super tuesday, and beyond. i hope those kids go out there -- i say kids because i'm a kid, too, at heart. but go out there and knock on doors, drag them out, and get them out to vote. >> donna, it's not the kids. it's not the people who are
4:22 pm
knocking on doors. and it's not us. it's not the point of a circular firing squad, but this is coming within the camp. >> i was managing campaigns and people told me i'm going to get fired, i'm going to get fired. al gore won every contest. people doubted my ability to carry on my work. it's unfair to the people who are doing this. those democratic officials, those campaign officials, they're the ones who should be fired. >> hillary clinton said it herself today. it's time to take stock of things after new hampshire. i'm told no one will be fired, but they're going to add to it. that's normal. that's not that unusual. >> if she wants to take stock, i think the first thing she should do is go buy a mirror and look in it because the problem isn't the campaign officials. the problem isn't all the workers as donna mentions. the problem isn't some tactical
4:23 pm
problem. the problem is they have a candidate that's been a flawed candidate from the very beg beginning. will she ultimately win? probably, but she is a candidate. if you look at the landscape of this, this is a 74-year-old democratic socialist who now looks like he's going to beat hillary clinton in the state she beat barack obama in eight years ago. when you look forward, even if she gets through this problem, she goes into a general election as unpopular as donald trump is. all of these questions we keep asking about, are the republicans going to elect an unelectable candidate, the democrats should be asking the same question in their primary. >> i agree everybody needs to take a look in the mirror every now and then. but i also believe she has not only the experience, but the values to lead. people in line with bernie -- her favorability is still 86,
4:24 pm
87%. i don't see this as being flawed. i see this as a different electorate. they want a fighter. they want someone who can imagine a different future and that's why bernie is so attra attractive to them. the clinton campaign needs to focus on job number one. get out there and vote. >> we'll see what the outcome is here tomorrow. that's going to tell us how urgently these changes will be. if it's a big loss, there will be pressure from donors on the outside to do something. the big challenge still is raising money. bernie sanders, average contribution of $27. that is real. they can give and give and give again. >> that's real. >> he talked about it today very passionately as we saw at another rally in manchester. outfront next, we'll show you where donald trump is. he says he's stepped up his ground game. will it deliver, though, the big
4:25 pm
win that he must have tomorrow? hillary clinton trailing badly among younger women voters. why are they picking sanders over here? we talked to some today. but through good times and bad... ...at t. rowe price... ...we've helped our investors stay confident for over 75 years. call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. but i've managed.e crohn's disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. 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,

serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. i thione second it's there.day. then, woosh, it's gone. i swear i saw it swallow seven people.
4:27 pm
seven. i just wish one of those people could have been mrs. johnson. [dog bark] trust me, we're dealing with a higher intelligence here. ♪ the all-new audi q7 is here. ♪
4:28 pm
4:29 pm
we're back live in manchester, new hampshire. you're looking at live pictures where donald trump will be speaking to supporters at a rally not far from here. we drove by two hours ago and saw a line of at least 100 people waiting to get in and it was snowing heavily and it is cold here, frigid. on the eve of the primary tonight, trump is making a major effort trying to improve his ground game. will it be enough to get him his first win, because it needs to be a win and it needs to be a e resounding one. >> reporter: in donald trump lands his first victory in new hampshire on tuesday, even he says it won't be because of his ground game. >> the new hampshire like you. they're going to go out and they're going to vote. there's not so much of a ground game.
4:30 pm
>> reporter: that's not stopping trump's team from putting it on display. after barring reporters from campaign offices in iowa -- >> we have no comment on any matter. >> reporter: -- trump shifted stances in the wake of his second place finish, allowing reporters to take along with volunteers. >> by far, we have the most organized, the most passionate team. the fire is lit in our bellies, and we're going for it every day. >> reporter: the team is led by campaign manager corey. his efforts to ramp up trump's ground game appear to rest on a flimsy foundation. according to campaign finance reports, trump has spent little on data or voter targeting, a cornerstone of rival campaigns. for eight months, marco rubio's camp has been knocking on doors
4:31 pm
and making phone calls, laying the ground work for late breaking voters. >> new hampshire listens and they wait and wait to make up their mind. >> reporter: is it driving you crazy the number of people still undecide e undecided? >> not really because i'm used to it. >> reporter: trump was still soliciting volunteers. john kasich's campaign brought in several out of state volunteers. >> by the end of the day, i was really tired. >> reporter: all to persuade new hampshire's independents to vote for john kasich. trump is still betting on celebrity, adding the kinds of retail stops he regularly skipped in iowa and pressing voters to show up for him or not at all. >> a lot of these politicians say, it's not important who you vote for, but you have to go through the process. i feel differently. if you're not going to vote for me, do not vote.
4:32 pm
>> reporter: now despite donald trump's ground game challenges, the new hampshire primary process and the independent voters here could still work to his advantage. they still expect donald trump to win here in new hampshire on primary night, even if his ground game is not as strong as his competitors. >> back with me now matthew dowd and dana bash. dana, this whole question of ground game, he got slammed for that in iowa and he paid a price for that. by the time he got to new hampshire, it is hard to put in place a deep ground game, so he is still going to be able to win? >> that's the big question, right? i talked to donald trump yesterday backstage before his big rally in plymouth, new hampshire, and talked to him about the ground game and where things are. i thought he had a very interesting answer. take a listen. >> i've given them the product, the product is me in a sense.
4:33 pm
but you can have all of that in the world. if you don't have the right person, it's not going to matter. up here, we've done well. >> are you like the ceo of your campaign? >> yes. i still believe the most important thing is the person doing the talking and the message. i think that's more important than people knocking on doors. >> so it's kind of an extension of what we were talking about in the last segment about it all stemming from the candidate. that is true, but matthew, you know. i remember covering the campaign that you helped run in 2004, the bush campaign. it is also very, very much a science. you do need an organization to really do it for the long haul. >> yeah. >> in a place like new hampshire where he does apparently have passion and excitement and enthusiasm for him, it might not matter. he does have a campaign manager who knows new hampshire. he's from here. he gets it.
4:34 pm
he's worked here before in politics. that also matters. >> how big does the margin need to be for everyone to once again say, it's trump's race? >> well, i agree with donald trump in what he said, which is it's the candidate and the message that's more important. i would add momentum is another important thing in ground game. but i think the ground game is going to matter in who finishes second, third, fourth, and fi h fifth. if he loses here, it's not going to be because of ground game. it's because there was a three-mile island incident and there was a nuclear incident and it all fell apart. >> the undecideds seem to be even greater than his support. could that swing dramatically against him? >> undecideds split all over or they go with the one who has
4:35 pm
more momentum. i think they're going to go with john kasich than anybody else. it causes a convergence of the path beneath donald trump. i think that's where the ground game will be determinative. >> how many people come out of new hampshire viable, able to win the nomination? that's just not how well you place here and the ground becga in the next state and money. >> those are two really different questions because there are certainly some candidates who will limp out of new hampshire and limp south to south carolina without dropping out, but may be dead men walking. >> there's three tickets already punched out of new hampshire. those three tickets are donald trump, ted cruz, and marco rubio. they're going to go on and they're viable in the remaining states going forward. there's either one more ticket
4:36 pm
punched or two more ticket punched. i think it's at most five, but probably four. >> of the three governors you were just talking about, kasich, christie, and bush, one gets out. it will be clear. the writing will be on the wall. >> three are coming out. i agree with that. >> all right. thank you both very much. outfront next, hillary clinton with feminist icons from gloria steinham to katy perry. michael bloomberg, is he running for president? today he breaks his silence. we'll tell you what he said. a heart attack doesn't care if you run everyday,

4:41 pm
we were at the bernie sanders sa rally. there's a little emergency light that flashes above the lights when the say the city of manchester is a snow emergency. it is flashing everywhere and yet the streets are packed. they are used to it here, but the weather is tough right now with the snow. the hillary clinton campaign is pushing the historic nature of their campaign. they've been doing it here in new hampshire and around the country on the campaign. little girls should grow up in an america where they can be anything they want to be, including president of the united states. but is that really a reason? is the message getting through to women voters or not? brianna keilar is outfront. >> let's imagine that women finally get equal pay for equal work in america. >> reporter: hillary clinton fighting for every vote on the last day before the crucial new hampshire primary, including a
4:42 pm
crucial voting block, young women. >> there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other. >> reporte >> my response is there's a special place in hell for women who vote for women just because they are women. >> reporter: and feminist icon gloria steinem tried to explain why polls showed young women going heavily for bernie sanders. >> women get more radical as we get older. when you're young, you're thinking where are the boys. the boys are with bernie. >> reporter: 64% of democratic women under 45 support sanders. sunday clinton addressed the issue, reminding voters that the playing field isn't level for women. >> we are still living with a double standard. i don't know anything other than to do than to just keep forging
4:43 pm
through it and just take the slings and arrows that come with being a woman in the arena. >> reporter: bill clinton has been making the case for online attacks against his wife. >> she and other people who have gone online to defend hillary and explain why they supported her have been subject to vicious trolling and attacks that are literally too profane often not to mention sexist to repeat. >> reporter: sanders has rejected that tactic. >> anybody who is supporting me as doing sexist things, we don't want them. i don't want them. that's not what this campaign is about. >> reporter: but in a state that she won in 2008, clinton has acknowledged that this time around a comeback in new hampshire may not be in the cards. >> i know i've got an uphill climb. >> and this issue really erupting onto the campaign trail
4:44 pm
here today, erin. behind me is a bernie sanders surrogate. she's a model and actress. she riled up this crowd a short time ago asking why am i here? i'm not here for the boys. she said what many young women who are bernie sanders supporters have been feeling. they look up to gloria steinem, but they felt her comments were off base. >> you need women to win. you can't win without them. jennifer granholm joins me. i went to a bernie sanders rally today. there were a lot of young people there, young women. emily johnson is one of them. she's voting for bernie sanders because of his energy policy. i asked her about madeleine albright and that line about

there's a special place in hell for women who don't vote for other women. here's her response to that. >> i think that's pretty ridiculous. being a feminist is about just seeing everyone as equal. i'm going to vote for the candidate, man or woman, who aligns with my views. >> what do you have to say to that? there was another young woman who said the same thing. men and women are equal. why does it matter that i vote for a woman? >> this is such a profound generational issue. madeline and albright and gloria steinem are people who i have pictures on my wall. i worked my whole life to be able to get to this moment where i can pull the lever for the most qualified person who shares my values and she happens to be a woman, which is like the
4:46 pm
trifecta for me. that is so awesome. hillary clinton would say we don't want anybody to vote for this campaign because i'm a woman. vote because i have policies that i have been working on and care about and can get done that will better your life. we understand young women don't want to vote for a symbol. they want to vote for policies and somebody they believe in and you have to respect where they are. these young women who see they believe choosing because of gender is wrong. i think choosing because of somebody who has prioritized your issues is a really good thing and she has. universal pre-k and paid maternity live. >> what about one of the reasons to vote for her is so your daughter can be anything she wants? maybe we're already there. >> we're not there yet. they are only 5% of the
4:47 pm
corporate ceos. only 10% of the governors are women. we are not there. we've got a long way to go. but what's on the website is it's a reason. she doesn't want people to vote for her for that being the sole reason. vote for somebody who shares your values, who can get plans done, which is what she is saying, and who can prioritize what's important for you. she's going to work really hard to earn these women's vote. she's going to work really hard to try to win them back. even if she doesn't, she's still prioritizing those issues. i'm a mother of millennials, two millennial daughters. for those of us women like me who have fought and who broke a lot of glass ceilings, i'm still brushing the shards of glass from my hair, we've done this so that our daughters can say, oh, my god, anything is possible for
4:48 pm
me. and for us, we just hope that our daughters see this as an opportunity to pull the lever for somebody who shares their values and who happens to be a woman. >> thank you very much. >> yeah. next, will the former new york city mayor michael bloomberg run for president? there's been speculation about it. then the republicans less than grand entrance. om and with safelite's exclusive "on my way text" she knew exactly when i'd be there. hi, steve with safelite. thanks for your text! i replaced her windshield... and she didn't miss a single shot giving you more time for what matters most. how'd ya do? we won! nice! that' another safelite advantage. thank you so much!

breaking news. former new york mayor michael bloomberg has said in an interview that he was, quote, looking at all of the options and he finds with both republicans and democrats, "the level of discourse now at an outrage and insult to the voters." phil mattingly has been covering the stories and this is the first time he's weighed in about it which takes it to a whole new level. >> that's right, erin. what he has said is essentially he's said on the record what he's been saying behind closed doors for the last couple of weeks, erin. the dynamics of this race are still very intriguing to him and he still believes there's a possibility of an open door. right now he's waiting to get back some polling and wants to see what happens here in new

hampshire over the next 24 hours. that could play a huge role into whether or not he decides to make that jump. erin? >> and a few weeks ago there was this math that he had done, that's the way it had to be in order for it to make sense for him to run. we don't know if that's going to be the case but he's indicating that he's serious about this possibility. has his thinking shifted that he might get in under any scenario? >> reporter: i think the timeline is shifting. what he said on the record in that interview is what i have heard from a number of people from behind the scenes. he has to make the decision by early march to get on the ballot. one of the key components in new hampshire is watching what happens with the republican race where donald trump has a double-digit lead and the democratic race where bernie sanders has the double-digit lead. those are the two candidates he's been pointing to that will help move that decision along, depending on how they do. and if they succeed, like

polling looks like it will, it's the timeline that's the biggest issue right now. he only has until early march, likely. >> all right. phil mattingly, thank you. that would just make this race even more exciting which is, of course, hard to imagine for all of us.

one takeaway from the most recent gop debate is this one. even the best-laid plans often go astray. here's jeanne moos. >> reporter: the desperate gestures of a backstage handler called a chain reaction of cringe. sure, it could have been worse. no one fell like miss america. no one got a concussion like conan did or trip over a red carpet while signing "the national anthem" on skates. no, the debate was just incredibly awkward starting when ben carson didn't respond to his name. for the obvious reason. >> i couldn't hear. >> reporter: and just when carson is seen ready to
