``>> very little. ``if a newspaper endorsement has ``some influence, it's more in a ``democratic primary than a ``republican one. ``particularly, the "des moines ``register," it's known as a ``left-leaning editorial page. ``not the newspaper itself but the ``editorial page. ``it's more likely there are some ``caucus goers that might be ``influenced about -- on the ``democratic side, less on the ``republican side. ``look, i think what's remarkable ``about this last week in iowa, ``both sides are incredibly close. ``but the republican candidates, ``front runners, cruz and trump, ``it's nasty. ``they're going after each other ``on the air. ``as close as clinton and sanders ``are, the one thing we don't see, ``negative ads. ``>> what was interesting also ``yesterday at trump's rally is ``chuck was there, and i'm ``wondering if you're seeing the ``establishment republicans going ``toward trump, thinking it may be ``cruz. ``>> i think that tells you a lot ``about ted cruz's reputation in

``it is very hard to see -- to ``find a republican senator that ``will say nice things about ted ``cruz. ``the question, jose, is whether ``these establishment republican ``types, are they warming to trump ``only because the alternative is ``cruz, or are they warming to ``trump because they can kill cruz ``and they think, we'll kill trump ``later? ``if i'm trump, i don't assume ``these people are with me. ``i think they're with me because ``he's not ted cruz. ``>> chuck, thanks. ``good to see you. ``>> you got it, brother. ``>> take care, man. `` this morning, you can join, ``press." ``his guests include donald trump, ``bernie sanders and hillary ``clinton. ``lots to talk about there. ``we are keeping an eye on a ``strong earthquake that hit ``alaska. ``7.1 quake striking there early ``this morning, centered in a ``remote area. ``strong shaking was felt more ``than 160 miles away in ``anchorage, sending as you can ``see, items tumbling from ``shelves. ``residents describe it as being
