a grueling year on the campaign trail. >> they throw all this stuff at me and i'm still standing. >> we're going to build a wall. >> donald, you won't be able to insult your way to the presidency. 1500 rallies 11 debates and it all comes down to this. >> this is about the men and women of iowa. >> the race closer than ever. donald trump taking the lead back from ted cruz. the billionaire and his family trying to close their biggest deal of all. good result. >> clinton with a slight edge the senator calling it a toss-up. the big date finally here. >> you have 104 temperature, get out of bed and caucus! >> who will be on top at the end of the night? >> we're going to win. their final push. represent all of us and not a handful of billionaires.

the road to the white house starts in iowa on this special edition of "good morning america." and we certainly do say good morning, america, we're live in iowa. we're inside the state capitol in des moines and as you said, here we go. >> here we go. lot of history has been made in this room. outside the candidates in these final hours, take a live look right now at eight of their campaigns. everybody is gearing up for a hard, last push in iowa. we have hillary clinton standing by live. she's one of five candidates joining us right here this morning. also talking to donald trump, bernie sanders, marco rubio and chris christie. >> every vote here counts. the race is so close. you can see the poll numbers as we put them up for you.

five-point lead now on ted cruz in the final poll and hillary clinton's lead over bernie sanders smaller. virtually a dead heat. >> it is so close. jon karl starts us off with voters at the machine shed diner good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. we're finally here, we're with are you guys ready? [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: hey, and i got to tell you, george, we have got quite a race here. in fact, if you look at the democratic and republican races combined, we have never seen an iowa caucus so close. it's finally here. >> i don't care if you're feeling horribly, 104 temperature, get out of bed and caucus. >> let's start a movement. toward the future that we want to make together!

finish in iowa. we caught up with ted cruz. you said if conservatives turn out you're going win. >> i believe we'll win. >> reporter: across the state, my colleague caught up with front-runner donald trump and his wife melania. >> i think we're going to have a good result. i hope we're going to have a good result. iowa is a very special place. >> reporter: the campaigns are pulling out the stops. trump campaign even deployed daughter ivanka to teach people how to caucus. >> it's a secret ballot, write down trump and you're done. >> she joins step mom, taking selfies and signing autographs. crisscrossing the iowa skies trump force one. over at camp cruz. >> we're here to pull him over the finish line. >> reporter: volunteers have been calling out for ted. the democratic race has become a battle for bodies.

>> reporter: bernie sanders has a volunteer army of his own, 15,000 supporters, cruising the streets and knocking on doors. more than 76,000 touched this weekend alone. the clinton campaign says it's knocked on more than 125,000. >> sometimes you'll show up on their door, they're a hillary supporter or a bernie supporter and they switch over to trump and i think -- >> reporter: and the air war. clinton and bush two names from the past. iowa. 17,000 this month alone. after all that, some iowans are you'll definitely caucus? >> we'll be there. >> reporter: you'll be there? when are you going to make that decision? i don't know. >> reporter: 7:00 tomorrow? and george, in that last poll you mentioned at the top of the voters said they could still change their minds.

folks. it's incredible how many are still undecided. of course they only have a few hours left to make up their minds. >> iowa always has a lot of last-minute surprises. jon, we'll check back in with you all morning long. >> we'll be checking in on the caucuses all day long as well. we'll talk about that. you're looking at a middle school, one of the biggest locations voters will gather tonight. it's empty now. okay, but more than 1,000 people evening to cast their votes and the candidates are making a big push right now, tom llamas has been covering the republicans since the beginning. you caught up with donald trump last night. ? no surprise. he told you he's feeling good. what is the strategy in these final hours? >> reporter: robin, good morning. the entire trump family is here. they're splitting up to cover more ground and sarah palin back donald trump. the man who wants to take iowa

he's been living on this bus for this month. this afternoon, he hits his magic number -- visiting all 99 counties in iowa. for them, it's all about the ground games. 12,000 volunteers. the volunteers try to make 20,000 calls a day. this state is so important for him. as for senator marco rubio he's hoping for one of those three tickets out of iowa. he's putting the pressure on cruz out yesterday and today telling everyone he can this is a must-win state for ted cruz. robin and george. >> let's go to cecilia right now. start. se is sill ya, the clinton family out in force all weekend long. and they're planning what they call a victory party tonight. >> reporter: they are. that shows a confidence heading into today. hillary clinton packing in the crowds. i'm telling you, i have never seen her on this campaign trail sounding more confident and more energized.

just last night, 2600 people packing into a high school gym for her, a raucous crowd but her campaign is telling me privately, they're approaching today with caution, this race that seemed to be hers for her lose. bernie sanders overnight telling his crowds he's in it for the long haul. bernie sanders wants to stay into this all of the way until the convention. >> all right, cecilia, thank you very much. clinton, good enough to join us day. thank you so much for doing this. do you have the victory party all set for tonight? race, robin. wire. but we feel very good. we worked so hard. i had a great operation here. so many young people organizers who fanned out across the state. the thousands of volunteers, we

past weekend. so, we're very committed, very energized, very enthusiastic. it all depends on who shows up tonight. who comes out to caucus in iowa. i'm urging anyone who interested in caucusing for me, please be there tonight, 6:30. i'll be there in spirit. because if you stand up for me, i will stand up for you during this campaign and into the white house. >> there are so many similarities between what's going on right now and eight years ago, you, again, are unexpected challenge that you are facing, what are the differences and similarities between what you're experiencing now and what happened eight years ago here in iowa? >> well, i think that i have much better organization to be just really clear about it. i think that we built an

lessons learned and we recruited some of the best people that you could find, anywhere in the country, working in democratic politics, i think i'm a better candidate. i think that, in addition to just knowing more about the caucus process and what we needed to do to build toward this night, my experience as secretary of state, really deepened and intensified my understanding about what the next president will have to face. so, all and all, i feel like it's a different, energized effort that is really bringing in people from across the state and indeed across the country who knows what's at stake in this election, understand how really dramatic and drastic it would be if the republicans were to take back the white house, they would rip out the progress. we wouldn't be able get the economy going for everybody, get

college, everything i'm talking about, which is really in response to the concerns and the worries that i hear from people as i crisscross this state. >> all 99 counties you have crisscrossed and we have seen you and your husband and we have seen your daughter as well. >> i haven't gotten all 99. i don't want anybody to think my silence is affirmation, but i covered a lot of ground and i have met many thousands of people. and really have learned so much. that's the best part of this. it's obviously exhausting, it takes a lot of concentration, but what keeps me going are the stories they tell me. it's something so intimidate, at least in my experience. i try to listen to people and hear what's on their minds. when people tell you about the open heart surgery their granddaughter had and they couldn't afford it without affordable health care.

drowning in student debt and needs a way out. it sticks with me. the months i spent here listening to iowans has really made a better candidate and i think it will make me a better president. >> well speaking of listening to iowans, we have jon karl, he's out and about. he's with voters. a third of voters here are undecided and let's hear what one voter has to ask you, jon. >> reporter: hello, robin. hello, secretary clinton. we're with rob from denison. you're undecided between hillary clinton and john kasich. what is your question. >> good morning, secretary clinton. as a liberal republican seems to be a dying breed, are you going to work bipartisanly with a partisan congress. >> that's a really good question.

get asked that a lot. i have a record of working with republicans, when i'm actually in a position to do so when, you know, there's a campaign it's a little bit different. when i was first lady, i worked to achieve the children's health insurance program, working across the aisle with both democrats and republicans. even reformed our foster care and adoption system, teaming up with delay, a very partisan republican in the house. in the senate, i worked hard to get health care for the national guard and reserves. i worked with senator lindsey graham in that case, i don't know if there was a single republican who didn't co-sponsor one of the bills that i worked on. as secretary of state, i had similar efforts to reach common ground to prove successful. i know in a campaign the distinctions have to be drawn. because we have to give voters a real sense of what each of us wants to do and to hold us accountable for the agenda we put forth. but i'm confident that i'm going to work really hard to find that common ground across the aisle

together. >> secretary clinton, thank you very much. we appreciate you joining us on this very busy and important day. thank you. >> thanks so much. great to talk to you. >> you as always. >> hillary clinton on top of the democrats right now. donald trump on top for the republicans. he joins us now by phone. good morning, mr. trump. good to have you again with us this morning. you know, you have never actually faced voters before, are you nervous? >> well, you have to be a little bit nervous. you know i like to win. i want to win for the country. not for myself. this is actually my first election night. i've gone through many election nights but always for someone else, george. this is a little bit different for me. >> i'm sure it is. what worries you most? >> well, i just hope everybody is going to be able to get out and vote. it looks like we're going to skirting the weather the weather will be okay.

everything is over. we just made it. that was a biggie. i hope everybody gets out and votes. we have had the biggest crowds of anybody, including sanders who's second. i will say that. we have the most enthusiasm. they're like love fests. i believe they're going to go out and vote. the theme is, make america great again. this is the chance. i'm self-funding my campaign. i'm the only one doing that, george. i'm putting up my money. nobody else is doing that. i think that's a big difference. lot of people like that. but there's great enthusiasm in those rooms and all over the state and all over every state. you know, when you look at new hampshire, you saw the polls where there's i guess a 25-point lead. in iowa, i think we're going to

to find out soon. >> your staying power has surprised so many people so far, i was wondering what your response is to chris christie and he said donald will take himself down over time. i think we might have lost mr. trump. >> yes, i have you. did you get that? >> i hear your fine. >> what is your response to chris christie who said you're going to take yourself down over time. >> well, people said i wasn't going to run. then, they said, if i ran, he would have fun and leave. now i'm in first place. chris took his down with the bridge. new jersey is the 50th worse state. meaning it's the last. he shouldn't be talking like that. i'm surprised he would talk like that. because i know him.

until this all happened. no, i think it's been just the opposite. i would be very surprised. he's got enough problems and he's doing very poorly in the polls. i'm surprised that he would have said that. my life has been a life of success, it's been a life of winning, it's been a life of making great deals. it's been a life -- i have achieved tremendous success in so many different ways. for somebody to say that, obviously, isn't doing really well right now is pretty unusual, i think. for the first time tonight. we'll be talking to your sons in the next half-hour. thank you for joining us this morning. well. >> thank you very much. donna brazile. and matthew dowd and when we see what's going on here, it's like an electric-type atmosphere. and it's something that we haven't witnessed in quite some time -- such uncertainty.

the campaigns. they're friends and family. donald trump talked about it. the voters are now in charge as of today. and it brings tremendous anxiety because everything you thought was going to happen may not happen. we'll look at tonight i think and we're going to be surprised in the course of this. there's an expectation there could be some big political earthquake depending on what happens on the republican or the democratic side. right now the voters have taken control. >> donna, what you're seeing on both sides, donald trump on the republican side. bernie sanders on the democratic side. just harnessing this outsider power up against the organizations of hillary clinton and ted cruz. >> the big challenge tonight, george is to take all of that passion and enthusiasm that you saw on the campaign trail and translate it into votes. the good thing about the hawkeye state, voters can turn up tonight and register to vote. this is a same-day registration.

to the race and it may be an advantage to mr. trump and mr. sanders. let's go to rob for the weather. >> hey, george, we're watching this massive storm traverse its way across the country. it will impact iowa but not until midnight tonight. all right, that's the latest forecast for the polls. right now, your select cities brought to you by carmax.we are starting off with some morning fog that may deposit a light layer of frost or ice on area roads. the fog should lift around mid to late

make a political revolution. >> reporter: he's the democratic hopeful behind that revolution, taking on income and wealth inequality. i caught up with bernie sanders and his wife just hours before the big day backstage after a rally in des moines. i think you said that today, no matter what happens with the caucus you're in it for the long haul. >> absolutely. i think our message is resonating throughout the country. people want our government to represent us all and not a handful of billionaires. i got to tell you, robin, all over the country, when i talk about that, people say absolutely. >> reporter: people will finally be able to speak. what are your thoughts? >> i think we will win if there's a large voter turnout.

numbers we'll win. if they don't we won't. >> we want to see an enlivening of the democracy, here in new hampshire, everywhere else, we want to see people vote. no matter with who they're voting for. we want to see them caucus and vote. >> hillary clinton's chief strategist said you have run the most negative campaign in a democratic primary, ever. >> my god, going back 500 years. i have tried my best, never making personal attacks against hillary clinton, debating the issues. when we talk about me running a negative campaign, that's absurd. i've never run in my entire political life a negative ad. not too many people can say that. >> i heard that you went to the white house and there are only two people who were not wearing a tux you and nelson mandela, was that true? >> yes. >> if there's an inaugural ball

>> i don't think so. mill wife disagrees. you know, a tux is kind of symbol of class privilege. that says i'm really important and i'm fancy and you're something else. >> senator sanders joins me now. >> you told my colleague recently, martha raddatz, tongue in cheek, you got a big ego like most politicians, how do you stay grounded? >> it's a humbling and scary experience because people are putting so much faith into you. it's divot. you know, you don't want to let people down. in fact, one of the hesitancies that i had about running in the first place that i didn't want to let people down. >> mrs. sanders, you said that's one of the reasons you fell in love. his ideas. >> is that why you fell in love or my good looks? >> his wife jane of more than 25 years who he proposed at a friendly's parking lot after being on break. >> enough, enough. it's national television. >> he wanted to go out again and i said, no, i want to get

so, and i love you and we're best friends now. let's not mess it up. he had to ask me a couple of times. he said, no, will you marry me? i said, fine. >> reporter: saw the big hug that you gave a veteran on the way out and i know mrs. sanders you said a veteran stopped you all, when you were on the fence on whether or not your husband should run, that sealed it for you. >> yes. people were counting on him. when people are counting on you have to deliver. >> reporter: you're not used to this underdog-type position. >> they always say, he can't win. he can't be a senator. he can't be a congressman. each time he's proven them wrong. >> i'll take you out to dinner. >> okay. >> last night was his 100th stop here in the state of iowa.

brings out another side of the candidate. >> she taps into his core strength, persistence. i remember, i was working in congress 25 years ago when he first got to congress. one of the most striking thing about bernie sanders, his message has been consistent all these 25 years. >> when he ran for mayor, he won by ten votes. he has that tenacity, you're right, he stays on message and he believes in what he believes in and he's been consistent throughout. >> we'll see what happens tonight, no question. david muir and "world news" will be here tonight. also, you're going to be here as well or latest as it happens. don't forget next saturday the big republican debate live from new hampshire at 8:00 p.m. eastern. right here on abc. we'll have complete wrap-up coverage tonight. >> as the results come in. that's exactly right. lot more coming up from iowa this morning and we're covering

there it is only three candidates have gone on to win iowa and then go on the white house. will it be donald trump? ahead in the polls right now. but who knows what will happen tonight. we'll talk to two people who know him best, eric and donald trump jr. thank you for joining us. let me start by asking you the question, how worried are you? how nervous are you this morning? >> we have been going around the state, the energy is amazing. the love we felt is incredible. people have to get out to vote. there's a tremendous amount of support. we're incredibly proud of our father and he's doing a great job. >> new territory for your father before, you said this is new for

the people have embraced as so well. we want to thank them with all the incredible words. it means so much when you see game. being a nonpolitician coming into this world and doing so well with this. i want to thank them for all their messages. >> lot of positive messages. ahead in most of the big states now. lot of criticism as well. how do you guys take that? >> it's hardest as kids. you want to defend your father. he's our best friend. we love him to death and worked with him every day for the last ten years. if you're running for commander in chief, you better have thick skin. you're going to get hit while you're in the white house and the oval office. we're proud of him again. you have to get used to that. that's the nature of politics. we're proud of him. again, you have to have that thick coat, otherwise you won't do well in this process. >> running for commander in chief, it seems like since the '80s about your father possibly running for the president of the united states.

back then. but what is the earliest memory that you had that your father was possibly going to run for president. >> i think we have seen it throughout our lives. in 2012 was the first time we thought he's going to do it. he's employed tens of thousands of people and created thousands of businesses. we were very young in the organization, he wouldn't jeopardize their careers, livelihood to stick away if he didn't think the company had good stewards. that's a great testament to myself, my brother, my sister that he believes these guys can probably do it. he's way too loyal of a y to jeopardize all that they have given him over the years. it means too much to him. now he's ready and doing it and doing it well. >> reality check time, your dad wrote in the book, if you want to know when i'm wrong ask my kids. give us something real. >> oh, no. i would say never, george. actually -- i don't even know what you're talking about. we don't understand that word. i think over the years, he knows.

my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis made a simple trip to the grocery store anything but simple. so finally, i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. 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.

we're live in iowa all morning long. talking to the candidates and that's marco rubio right now. he'll join us live coming up. >> was he checking out the calories in that? >> i think he was. we're behind the scenes with all the candidates this morning. i am a lot of things. i am his sunshine. i am his advocate. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to his current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. vo: namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, ororho's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients.

tell their doctor if they have, or ever had, a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine, liver, kidney or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body and may increase side effects. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. he's always been my everything. now i am giving back. ask their doctor about once-daily namenda xr and learn about a free trial offer at namendaxr.com. when you make a pb&j with smker's, that's s e difference betwtwn ordinary everyday and exquisitely delicious in an everyday sort of way. because with a name like smucker's, it has to be good. if you misplace your discover card, you can use freeze it

in "grease live." the amazing thing was, it was just hours after her father passed away. a battle she shared with her fans. we'll tell you how they rallied around the star when she need it the most. but right now, back to iowa and george. >> thank you, guys. but right now, let's go back to jon karl, surrounded by those voters out in urbandale. hey, john. >> reporter: hey, george, we got supporters here at the machine shed restaurant of all the candidates. what blows me away about this crowd here is how many still are undecided. so, in thihiroom, how many still haven't made up your minds? look at it. you got people here still hours away that still haven't made up their minds. george, what we love about this race, it's sti too close to call on both sideses after weeks of pounding the pavement, more than 1500 rallies and over 60,000 television ads, costing $33 million combined,

this morning, hillary clinton telling robin -- >> i think that the months i have spent here, listening to iowans has really made me a better candidate and i think it will make me a better president. >> reporter: and it's a tight race for the front-runners. donald trump speaking with george earlier. >> i want to win for the country, not for myself. >> reporter: overnight, we caught up with the ted cruz. are you going to win? >> listen, that's up to the people of iowa. >> reporter: donald trump and hillary clinton making their finana p phes for both a family affair. >> everything she ever touched she made better. >> he will be unbelievable. >> repter: ivanka trump giving tutorials on how to caucus. >> it't'a secret ballot and you just write down the name trump. and you are done. >> it sounds like you want to make a political revolution. >> reporter: bernie sanders has an army of his own, 15,000 supporters on the streets and

more than 76,000 touched this weekend alone. the clinton campaign said it's knocked on more than 125,000. senator marco rubio is casting senator ted cruz as the front-runner. >> reporter: a a t tt's left i i getting their supporters to the caucuses. >> i don't care if you're feeling horribly, a 104 temperature, get out of bed and caucus! >> reporter: so, now, the big question is, how many of these people actually get out to caucus? so, let's do a quick survey here -- tonight at 7:00? [ cheers and applause ] >> and georgrg as you know, that's the name of the game right now. bernie sanders said that he wants his people to beg, borrow, or if necessary, kidnap, to get people to go to the caucus tonight. so, we'll see what happens. hopefully no felonies here tonight. >> a little poetic license right >r that sounds like him. we'll bring our roundtable the candidates went a little longer in the first half.

we're back with matthew dowd and donna brazile. so close between hillary clinton and bernie sanders, should she lose, what kind of impact would that have on her campaigig >> well, first of all, you gain a lot of momentum. there are three tickets out of iowa. for democrcrs, we have three candidates. state tonight. momentum is very important. when she lost back eight years ago, she was down 13 points, she made it up in new hampshire. if she loses tonight, then she'll have to rebound like she did in 2008 and hopefully, this time, she'll have a little more momentum going into what i call the big super tuesday states on march 1st. >> matt dowd, on the other side, ted cruz is now saying that donald trump will be unstoppable if he wins here in iowa. he's way ahead in new hampshire right t w.

has ever won the first two. i think that if donald trump were to pull it out tonight, he'll win overwhelming in new hampshire. he'll win south carolina. it's very difficult to stop. it is not impossible to stop. it will be very difficult to slow him. the other thing is how close if he wins, donald trump, how close is second and third. consolidate a big part of the establishment. >> what have you both learned in the last six months? >> this is an unpredictable year. attacks in both political parties. i'm excited about the prospects of new people especially will they show up? will young people make a difference? >> yeah, i think two things -- learned. one, the establishment is fractured on both sides. we know now that for sure. it's been coming.

chand. everybody did the high jump one way and it's now being done another way. based on this year. >> my sports analogy. you gaga it. you swswched from football. >> i went to track and field. >> a better metaphor is boxing this year. we begin with a developing winter storm as many as 15 inches of snow falling in the southwest as that storm moves into the central rockies and plains today. the heaviest snow won't hit iowa until after midnight. in southern california heavy rains flooded highways. well, the justice department will now investigate san francisco's police department after the shooting death of a man which has inflamed racial tensions there. police responding to a report of a stabbing back in december, saying woods refused to drop the knife he was holding.

polili gun fire. well, there are new concerns about the spread of the zika virus as the w.h.o. holds an emergency meeting. the mosquito-b-bed virus has been linked to birth defects. dr. richard besser with that report. >> repepter: right now genevev a very special meeting is taking place at the world health organization, and they're going to determine whether to call the ka epidemic spreading around the globe a public health emergency y concern. it's important. in 2014, they were slow to respond to the ebola virus. while they're meeting, the virus continues to spread around the globe. indonesia has reported its first case. colombia has reported more than 2,000 pregegnt women infected with the virus. in the united states, four pregnant women with zika are being monitored. here in brazil, they're not waiting for the results of that meeting. they're sending soldiers and public heaeath workers door to

place the virus can be breeding. sflrt, rich besser with the latest from brazilthank you. a new study suggesting that a high-fiber diet may help lower the risk for breast cancer. researchers found that teenagers who ate foods high in fiber had a 24% lower risk of developing breast cancer before menopause. compared to women who didn't eat as much fiber as teens. and finally the players have arrived in style for sunday's super bowl. some more stylish than others. take, for example, quarterback cam newton, whose $850 versace yellow zebra pants were turning heads. they were apparently very comfortable for that cross-country flight to california. lara, next trip to l.a., what do you think? >> absolutely. just a thought. anyway, here's'shat's coming up -- lolomore from robin and george, of course, live in iowa. we'll take a closer look at the candidates from their longtime

perspective. and then, senator marco rubio and governor chris christie both will be live with us. from right here in times square and in iowa.

going to get a big raise for this interview. i mean, who says that except donald trump? >> donald trump. >> making the deal. liz, you're with hillary clinton and you said@it's a little bit different. yeah, i don't think i'm going to getetunched by hillary clinton. i don't think that's happening. she's a much more traditional candidate. access can be difficult with her. you know, i spend most of my days yelling questions on the rope lines and hopes she responds. she spends most of her time on the rope line interacting with voters. those are the times when i have seen the intimate, candid, fun moments. >> didn't you see her dance? >> yes, she broke down to j-lo and every single day, she's taking so many selfies at it. she's become superskilled at it. nice little arm movement. >> we got to get to chris christie.

starting line. i don't t ink that's it. i think iowa and new hampshire will be seen as an exacta. they'll be read together. that will help to cull the field down. probably four, five when we leave new hampshire next >> you said last night donald trump is going to bring himself down. i asked mr. trump about that this morning. it seemed to hurt his feelings. he said you gugu used to be friends. >> we are friends. but we are running against each other. if i'm asked a question about him i'm going to give an honest estion. i know donald trump for a long time. his feelings don't get hurt that easily. >> how do you explain though what has been happeng all year long, at least in the polls, no one has voted yeye you talked about the governors, you had a lot of experienced governors here in this republican's race, but it's the outsiders that seem

>> well, first off, george, i'm a little offended calling ted cruz an outsider, he went to princeto harvard, he worked the united states s sreme court. he worked for the federal government and then had a hardly an outsider. les stop calling ted cbuz an outsiders. and donald trump -- but no one has voted yet. let's see what happens when people vote. anybody who's been in this business for any period of time will be fascinated to see what happens. so, let's wait and nototraw conclusiononbased off polling. i remember back in 2004, everybody was getting ready to crown howard dean the next president of t united states and i don't think that happened, either. >> sounds like you're expecting a surprise tonight? >> not that i'm expecting a surprise but i just don't think, you know, looking at these polls all year and the fact how obsessed everybody gets s out polls, it matters when people

voting, yeah, i'll wait for the vote before i start reacting. >> governor, good luck today, good luck tonight. we'll see out out on the trail. >> george, look forward seng you in new hampshire. thanks for being in iowa today. thanks for havg me on. >> okay, take care. let's go back to rob in new york. from politics to the muppets. kerr mingmit the frog joining me. >> thank you. >> good morning to you, sir. >> talking about the blizzard. the severe weather across the south. help me out with the weather a little bit. >> i understananwe're going to have a rainy period over the mississippi valley. >> that's how you stay looking young, the moisture of the rainfall? >> that and being frozen. >> it is chilly out here. some of that rainfall is going to head up toward the snow zone. they're worried about melting snow across the virginias and in through washington, d.c. >> the big)melt is on, ladies and ntlemen. spring temperatures continue across the northeast. that's a quick check on your
