5:00 pm
t. pat, your final thought? >> my final thoughts are these. i watched the press go after trump and other republicans. >> pat, i'm going to owe you one next week. forgive me buddy. "fox news" anchored by bret baier baier, next. we are going to make america so great again. maybe greater than ever before. >> the political establishment has been taking a thrashing. >> that is not what democracy is about. that is what oligarchy is about! >> and the voters are taking over. >> you need to make me speak or i will shut it down. get out of my face. >> what i learned about hillary, she's very corrupt and she lies a lot. and that's it. we're done. >> this hour we'll look at how people are speaking out. i'm gay. and i support trump. >> i don't want to have a beer with the president. i want him to go to work fix
5:01 pm
our country. >> and moving this election down paths no one ever expected. >> we have socialism for the rich. we want socialism for everybody. >> white people have to give up something. you have to actually sacrifice yourself. >> announcing to the world that the presidential race is theirs to decide. >> i'm behind donald trump 100% and now donald trump is behind me. >> fox news reporting: voter revolt. ♪ go johnny go ♪ >> not that long ago, the path to the white house seemed pretty straight forward. >> it looked like a regular election year. it looked like you had the dynastic democrats, clinton and bush. >> i've got 40 on jeb, frontrunner for sure. >> hillary clinton is still a substantial favorite for the nomination. >> i think we've had enough of
5:02 pm
the bush family. >> very disillusioned with hillary clinton. >> both had the most money, the most endorsements and for their parties, were considered relative moderates. >> most people thought it was going to be a little bit like the last cycle, where we'd have different people for flavor of the month, rising up and ultimately they would cycle through and the sort of people -- the mitt romneys of the world would ultimately get the nomination. >> on top of that there were a lot of republican governors whose executive experience might play well on the campaign trail. for example, scott walker bobby jindal chris christie. which is perhaps why no one seemed to take donald trump, who had never held office and was best known as a tv celebrity -- >> so long. go. >> too seriously. >> i am officially running for president of the united states. and we are going to make our country great again.
5:03 pm
>> in fact comedians had a field day. >> hillary would be our first female president and trump would be our first mad libs president. i think that's the way it works. what is he saying? >> even when trump polled well at first most figured his popularity was a fad that would soon fade. and each time he said something outrageous, it seemed like the final straw. >> when mexico sends its people they're bringing crime. they're rapists. john mccain. i like people that weren't captured. we're going to build a wall. mexico's going to pay. complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> a serious candidate would not do that. i don't see him going through. i think this is a stunt for attention. >> the republican party is not going to nominate donald trump. >> i will be voting for trump. >> donald trump actually has the ability to win. >> every one of his sort of outrageous statements people would say, this will be the end
5:04 pm
of donald trump. and then he would rise in the polls and he would do something else that was perceived by the political classes as outrageous and people would say, this will be the end of donald trump and he would rise in the polls. >> perhaps it was his take no prisoners approach. perhaps it was his tough stance on immigration. perhaps it was that the voters were fed up with politicians. whatever it was, the political class eventually realized something. to their surprise trump was a serious candidate who had as good a chance of getting the nomination as anyone. >> the rise of trump, and he's now the strongest candidate obviously, is a phenomenon you would not have expected. and it reflects the amount of anger and the desire for a change in the republican the conservative approach to what's going on in washington. >> meanwhile, another anti-establishment candidate, ted cruz who opposed washington
5:05 pm
from inside washington won the iowa caucuses. >> iowa has sent notice that the republican nominee will not be chosen by the washington establishment. >> the way to earn the title of outsider it helps if you call your own majority leader on the floor of the senate a liar but by his own sort of demeanor and actions, place themselves outside what he calls the washington cartel. it's a clabn elaborate way to go about it and we'll see if it pays off for him. >> wow wow, wow. so beautiful. >> and then, of course donald trump easily won new hampshire. and now, after south carolina -- >> we love south carolina. >> it is clear 2016 is not going to be like any other year. on the democrats' side the results had once seemed even more assured. there was hillary, and then
5:06 pm
there was the rest of the field. most people couldn't even name them. >> today i'm formally entering the race for the democratic nomination for president. >> certainly there'd be no competition from the socialist center from vermont, bernie sanders. >> doesn't mean there's going to be a sanders administration. i think that's absurd. >> bernie sanders also will not become president just like donald trump will not become president. >> we really think bernie sanders is the candidate to kind of actually do the things that we care about. >> we want a socialist and we want a socialist government. >> but once again, the voters revolted. suddenly the energy seemed to be in sanders' camp. his rallies had to turn away people at the door while hillary had trouble filling halls. her popularity in the polls started to erode week by week. so much so that sanders did what was once unthinkable. he made socialism seem acceptable at least in
5:07 pm
democratic politics. >> he may win, or if nothing else the platform for the democrats will change. >> and then he essentially tied clinton in iowa and crushed her in new hampshire. >> the people of new hampshire have sent a profound message to the political establishment, to the economicent, and by the way, to the media establishment. >> after new hampshire, he's seen very seriously, as he won virtually all demographic groups. if anything, they're voting for the real deal the authentic candidate bernie sanders, and that explains his 20-point-plus victory in new hampshire. >> new hampshire made clear that hillary clinton couldn't take anything for granted. she'd have to battle bernie sanders in nevada and beyond. and that's why with early winners like cruz trump, and sanders, the clearest loser so far has been conventional wisdom. >> this anti-establishment
5:08 pm
feeling is true i don't deny it. i think there's also a deep anxiety and malaise in the country from where obama has left it. the democrats won't say it. the republicans do. this whole sense of american decline and retreat i think is what's animating a lot of the opposition. >> with super tuesday just over a week away anything seems possible in the year of the voter revolt. when we return we look at how far some people have gone to support donald trump. hey, need fast heartburn relief? try cool mint zantac. it releases a cooling sensation in your mouth and throat. zantac works in as little as 30 minutes. nexium can take 24 hours. try cool mint zantac.

5:11 pm
it's not unusual to see people carrying signs expressing their support for candidates. what is unusual is to see them turn their bodies into billboards. but that's just what some trump fans are doing.
5:12 pm
>> you know everybody's trying to be politically correct, but nobody says anything because you don't want to step on toes or you don't want to hurt somebody's feelings. or you don't want to be called a racist or whatever. i think that he's saying exactly what everybody wants to say. >> i'm the one that brought all the action right? >> bob holmes is a tattoo artist in seabrook new hampshire. he's also a trump supporter who recently started offering free trump tattoos. business has been brisk. how many have you done? >> 35 36 now. >> and varied between "make america great again" and the actual trump head? >> we've done four or five of his face and all the rest are either "we the people" tattoos with "let's make america great again." >> when you're putting on the tattoo and doing it do you talk issues like what drives these people to do it?
5:13 pm
>> yeah. >> and what's the most common thing? >> they're just really supportive and they want to feel like america is great again. they want to feel like they're going to be secure. that they're not going to have to worry about things happening to their kids or them. so they love the fact that donald trump says what he says. and owns it. >> one of those on the receiving end is max crowley, a trump fan who came in from massachusetts to get his free tattoo. >> i got a trump tattoo on the back of my calf. and it's his portrait. >> that's kind of a permanent deal. >> it is. >> you're in. >> i'm in. i'm in 100%. there's no going back on that now. it's there forever. >> let's see it. >> you want to see it? >> and there he is. how about that? >> the donald. >> the donald. >> to crowley, the billionaire businessman represents hope for the working man. >> as a construction worker and a carpenter, work isn't often great. for the past couple of years,

it's been hard. especially with a family supporting them. a business class kind of guy. you know he promises a lot of good things for the future. and the future is everything to me and my family. >> now you can look at your leg and get inspired. >> that's it. absolutely correct. i'm behind donald trump 100% and now donald trump is behind me. >> bob holmes says he's never done political tattoos before but then he's never been so politically engaged before. >> do you typically vote republican? >> i don't vote at all. >> ever? >> i've never voted. >> not once? >> no. nope. this will be the first time. and i will be. i will be voting for trump. >> is this a voter revolt do you think? >> i think it's a revolt against the politicians that are running the country now and doing such a
5:15 pm
bang up job. i think it's time, and everybody else thinks it's time to change it. >> we are going to do something that's going to be spectacular. >> trump's message is resonating across america, which is why we went all the way to los angeles to talk with kyle kittleson, another voter who has gone out of his way to publicly express support for trump. >> the republican party just needs to get with the program. they're about three decades behind if not five or six decades. >> kittleson, a small business owner, has gone all in for trump. and got a lot of pushback. >> it was 100% more difficult to come out as a gay donald trump supporter than it was to come out as gay. >> his trump coming out was very public. >> hi my name is kyle kittleson, and after much debate, i've decided that i need to come clean about something. it's something that i've been hiding for a really long time.
5:16 pm
i'm gay. and i support trump. and not in an ironic way either. i really support him. like i'm going to vote for him. >> kittleson put out this pro-trump supporter last october. >> reason number one, infrastructure. reason number two, immigration. reason number three, equality. there are plenty of people i would say the majority of which are part of the lgbtq community, who message me and e-mail me and told me i was terrible who told me i should kill myself who told me my family should be ashamed for what i've done. i've had people tell me they're going to find me and kill me. >> he finds the reaction hypocritical. >> that was really eye opening for me to see how narrow minded people can be and how they will support you 100% until you do not align with them 100%. and that's silly. i have friends, i have family who love bernie sanders, who
5:17 pm
love hillary clinton. not a big deal. >> indeed he often debates politics with his friends. >> donald trump to me is like a joke. it's an embarrassment. >> are you going to judge him on the stupid things he says or on the platform? >> i was going to say they're full of [ bleep ], but i won't say that. no it's true. >> i don't think he means 90% of the outlandish stuff he says. i think he knows that the media will cover it. >> while kittleson gets plenty of disagreement he also finds that there are a lot of people on his side. >> not everybody is public with their support because they're afraid of what other people might think of them. >> though he has voted for republicans in the past he doesn't want any party to think that they can take his vote for granted. >> i'm more interested in who can do the best job. and so if they're a democrat i will vote for them. if they're republican i will vote for them. >> as we've just seen some people are willing to go the extra mile to show how much they support donald trump. but the same can be said for those who feel the bern. that's next.

the mania for bernie sanders has already proven to be one of the biggest shockers of the election season. could he really go all the way. if you look at how far his followers have gotten up to this point with their enthusiasm verging on hysteria let's just say it would be wise not to rule anything out. >> i think it's fair to say the average person does not -- >> pundits dismissed bernie sanders as a joke. >> a lot of the media looked at us and said well this is interesting. but obviously, this is a fringe campaign. >> but if it's a joke hillary
5:22 pm
clinton is no longer laughing. >> we want a socialist and we want a socialist government. >> eric wymer is a senior at columbia university and many of the enthusiastic volunteers for bernie sanders. >> socialism isn't that dangerous a word. we want high waist. we want an army to protect ourselves. we want health care. we want social security. and we want all these common benefits that will make our economy more equal and our government more fair. right now we have socialism already. we have socialism for the rich. we want socialism for everybody. >> sanders is phenomenally popular among young voters. >> my entire generation is not giving up. i'm not guaranteeing rainbows and happiness if he gets elected, but it will be a major step and it will be the kind of election we haven't seen in our country for decades. >> though at one time she was a
5:23 pm
foregone conclusion voters have been fleeing hillary clinton. >> we had bumper stickers and everything but maybe like a year ago -- >> we started educating ourselves more about the issues. there's a number of issues that i think both of us are very passionate about. i'm very passionate about -- >> like women's rights. >> exactly. >> we really think bernie sanders is the candidate to kind of actually do the things that we care about. >> i raised thousands of dollars for hillary. i was ready for hillary before. when bernie announced, i immediately had to switch my allegiances. i had to support bernie, because he isn't taking money from wall street. he isn't doing the things that hillary is doing. >> hillary hoped to be the most contemporary of candidates setting up headquarters in new york's hippest borough, brooklyn. in an office building that
5:24 pm
describes itself with the slogan "modern offices, brooklyn cool." but her message doesn't seem to have reached its target audiences. >> i didn't know that either. >> actually i did hear thae set up an office there. >> apparently bernie doesn't need to try to be hip to get the youth vote. >> i think that bernie is winning on free college tuition. on the boldness of a single payer health care system. bernie has been saying them when they're unpopular and all of a sudden he finds a generation who fits his message. so bernie's been around but he's been an unviable candidate until this new generation came into the mix. >> while bernie is doing well with millennials, one might think hillary's strength would then be found in older middle class women. >> just remember there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other. >> but a lot of those women are deserting as well. >> i wanted to like her because
5:25 pm
of the female thing. the more information i dug up the more i was amazed and disgusted. she's very corrupt. and she lies a lot. and that's it. >> i was a feminist who worked for hillary's campaign in 2008. and now i'm all for bernie sanders. >> i went to new hampshire to speak with jetta, who now finds herself feeling the bern. >> you voted in 2008 for hillary yes. >> since 2008 she has lost her husband, a vietnam veteran, to lung cancer. she's also started caring for her sick grandson alec. >> because of your life experiences, you look at yourself differently than you did perhaps in 2008. >> absolutely. health care needs to be more equitable. everybody deserves the same exact health care in this country. >> but health care costs keep going up. she's convinced sanders is the man to fix things.
5:26 pm
>> it's not just not working for me. it's not working for a lot of people and i think that's got to change and i think that's why bernie sanders is so popular with the middle class, with the low and middle class as well. >> compared to sanders, hillary clinton is not bold enough for jetta. >> very disillusioned with hillary clinton, because she wants to take things in small increments. she doesn't want to go for changing health care to universal health care. that to me is a turnoff. i think her taking big money from big money is also an extreme turnoff to me. nobody does something for nothing. >> so on some level, has the last eight years of government been a disappointment to you? >> i'm disappointed in obama, personally. i don't think is as strong a president as he could be.
5:27 pm
or should be. >> like eric wymer at columbia, she's not bothered that bernie is a socialist. >> he calls himself as a democratic socialist. i see him as a true democrat. he typifies what i think a democrat should be. >> and the socialist part doesn't scare you? >> no we have socialism now. we have medicaid. we have medicare. those are all socialistic programs. >> last june she went to see sanders speak. >> i met him at a campaign event, and we spoke about vietnam veterans that really get the short end of the stick. vietnam veteran caretakers get nothing. i didn't need to explain it to him. he knew exactly what i was talking about. >> and that touched you? >> it touched my heart. he knew my experience. i mean how much more can you want of a candidate? >> and so on tuesday, february 9th, jetta darrow added her vote to the large majority that gave bernie sanders a victory over hillary clinton in new
5:28 pm
hampshire. >> never did i imagine somebody like bernie sanders would come along and say i'm going to do this. >> you light up when you talk about him. >> i do. i just know that he'll be the beginning of change. so how could i not? how can i not? >> for all the attention trump and sanders have been soaking up there's another anti-establishment figure whose success has equally mystified the political class. when we come back we look at the insurgency of ted cruz who has made enemies inside his own party and is winning support from voters because of it. and later, we asked, is this the year both parties realize they can't count on anyone's vote? what makes thermacare different? two words: it heals. how? with heat. unlike creams and rubs that mask the pain, thermacare has patented heat cells that penetrate deep to increase circulation and accelerate healing. let's review: heat, plus relief, plus healing, equals thermacare. the proof that it heals is you.

presidential elections in recent years. so if democrats don't turn out minority voters at the same rate that they did with president obama, i think it makes it a lot harder for them to win, to keep the presidency. >> but there were signs this time around that african-americans aren't happy and might not vote like they've been voting. the black lives matter movement started in response to a number of alleged cases of police abuse against african-americans. >> the law rebukes you, you evil people. >> and they've been making their presence known from the beginning of this political campaign. before he dropped out of the presidential race former maryland governor martin o'malley got a taste of their tactics last july. >> i want to hear an action plan. >> black lives matter white lives matter, all lives matter. >> saying all lives matter was

communities in terms of their relationship with the police. >> at this point they're forced to do something. the democrats have always been reliant on the black vote. part of what we're doing is waking black voters up to their power in the voting block within the democratic party. >> has the democratic party taken african-american voters for granted? >> consistently always. always and forever. >> johnson feels it will take a lot more than is being offered so far to heal the racial divide. >> what it's going to take to dismantle white supremacy is white folks actually got to give up something. you have to actually sacrifice yourself. you have to be willing to give up the things that you currently benefit from. >> the question for a candidate like hillary clinton who is relying upon minority voters in her battle against sanders may be how much is she willing to sacrifice politically? >> you can get lip service from as many white people as you can pack into yankees stadium and a million more like it who are going to say oh we get it
5:45 pm
we're going to be nicer. okay? that's not enough at least in my book. now what do we do next? and that's what i'm trying to figure out in my campaign. >> black lives matter i think reflects heartfelt concerns about police brutality. but some of its leaders are not necessarily people that i would advise a candidate of either party to associate themselves with in a campaign that seeks to be inclusive and forward looking. >> but leading up to south carolina, both democrats were sounding themes that seemed targeted to the activist movement. >> we are sick and tired of seeing videos on television of unarmed people, often african-americans, shot by police officers. >> i would also add this. there are other racial discrepancies, really systemic racism in this state as in others. we have to restore policing that will actually protect the communities that police officers are sworn to protect.
5:46 pm
>> definitely in a tough spot. i think to a certain extent labor unions other elements of the democratic party are not quite as enthralled with black lives matter as some obviously black leaders are. so it's a very delicate balance to walk. we want to go full bore on that issue. just understand that there's a backlash and others on the other side that won't like it. >> do you think the obama coalition will come out for any of the democratic candidates the way they did for president obama in 2008 and 2012? >> i don't think either one of them have shown evidence of being able to do that. people had a lot of hope back in 2008 that we could create a certain kind of world via the presidential election and now they know that that's gone. >> taking votes for granted? republicans may face a similar problem. coming up next. 7 days ago, phil wasn't thinking about dancing. he was thinking about his joints. but now he's taking osteo bi-flex,
5:47 pm
and noticing a real difference in his joint comfort. the feeling originates in this area... spreads throughout the body... to here, inducing hilariously high levels of embarrassment in his son. he knows it's working by that look of abject humiliation on his son's face. you were made to dance, phil. so dance. shows improved joint comfort in just 7 days. osteo bi-flex. made to move.

evangelicals have been a mainstay of the republican party since the reagan era. any serious desertion could be disastrous desertion could be disastrous for the party. there are signs of unhappiness. what will that mean for the election? >> we have got secular i am that is running our country running our government. >> it is a bitterly cold day in concorde, new hampshire. hundreds of supporters have descended upon the capitol building to hear reverend franklin graham son of evangelist billy graham speak. >> this may be the last opportunity we will have as a nation. >> graham president and ceo of the billy graham evangelistic

gop saying quote i have no hope in the republican party, the democratic party or tea party to do what is best for america. this is the same reverend graham who led the benediction at the 2000 republican convention. >> ladies and gentlemen, may we pray. pray? >> the breaking point for graham was despite republican control of the house and senate congress passed a spending bill that funded planned parenthood. >> when it comes to planned parenthood funding, what did you expect from the gop? >> i would have expected that the gop would have pushed back tried to find some kind of compromise. i was disappointed right before christmas they didn't want to fight didn't want to argue just go ahead and give up everything they want and go home and enjoy the holidays.

>> do you think faith voters have been abandoned by the republicans? >> i think faith voters are taken for granted, in a the republican establishment assumes the faith voters are going to go for them. it is the wrong assumption. that's one of the reasons i have taken this effort for this 50 state tour. i want to get christians to vote. i am not going to tell them to vote for. i want them to vote for people they see are people of faith and li out that faith in their life. >> that's our hope. >> his message to social conserveties is to get active and hold politicians accountable for the support given to them by faith voters. >> politicians will tell you everything. i am a christian i love god. as soon as they get into office so many of them vote differently
5:54 pm
than what they were sent there to vote. >> might it hurt republicans? >> no question some places it might. republicans don't take our vote for granted. it is not coming your way. u to earn it. >> don't take our vote for granted echos what we heard from the black lives matter group. both have constituencies they rely on. democrats expect high percentages of african americans to vote for them. while the gop expects socially conservative evangelicals to be in their corner. if any of this support starts to seriously fray it would be a political earthquake a fact that hasn't escaped the notice of franklin graham. >> i am not leading a campaign against the republican party. i have resigned from the republican party because i can't stand on all 50 state capitol

steps and lead a prayer rally in this nation and ask people to consider whato they are voting for saying you are doing this for the republican party. i am not doing it for the republican party. i am doing it for the country. >> it is safe to say the results of the political season so far put the republican establishment on notice religious voters need to be heard. >> do you see this election as more important than others? >> no question. i believe there are people in washington that have the intent of changing our constitution and i think the ball game will be over with when this happens. it may be the last opportunity we have if we don't take it and speak out. >> speak out he has. it seems people are listening. >> i have never voted a day in my life. i am going to register to vote this year. >> we have lost hope for

humanity. the way things are going it is doom or gloom. >> do you see more anger towards government than ever before? >> no question. people are frustrated with washington. they are frustrated with both parties. i agree with them. i am frustrated. >> do you sense when you are training around that people are going to revolt this time against government this election? >> i think this is going to be one of the most unusual elections in our history. women are upset. people are mad. i am not sure how they are going to take that out. >> it has been a wild ride. it is likely to get wilder. at donald trump's new hampshire victory party one of the songs played was the beatle's "revolution." it was fitting. make no mistake, what we are witnessing are the scenes at least of a political revolution. a revolution that could mean come november we will be voting
