among those weighing in was hillary clclinton whsaid quote, lepage's racist rants sadly distract from efforts to address one of our nation's most pressing problems. george. >> let's bring imatthew dowd right now. matthew, you see donald trump up in burlington, vermont. what is going on here? it's actually a pretty shrewd move. >> i think it's a really shrewd move. for a couple of reasons. bernie sanders and donald trump both are fishing from a similar pond which is independent voters who are working class whites. that's very similar set of voters. i think the fascinating thing the two anti-establishment outsider candidates the most are drawing the biggest crowds in this race. it's almost as if the visiting team which is the outsiders are drawawing moreans than the home team which is the establishment in this nomination process. but i think fundamentally, george, what we have to figure out with the phenomenon of donald trump and bernie sanders is can they translate rallies into results? >> we first have the first votes in about three weeks. that attttack on bl clinton linking him to bill cosby,
7:08 am
responding but could that blunt e democrats's hope to make this war on women an issue in the genel election? >> well, i think it does two things. first i think it helps donald trump in the republican imary because the republicans don't like bill clton or hillary clinton so i think it helps him there. but i think the second thing it does more than a scandal it reinforces that these are the candidates of the past. that hillary clinton is the candidate of the past and as you know, george, in any election people want to vote future and not the past and if they can do that, the republicans can do that tthe clintons then they're going to be a leg up in the general election next year. >> matthew dowd, thanks very much. a lot more on "this week" including our guest marco rubio. >> we'll be watching. the candidates keeping their eye on wall street after the worst start to the year ever. that trouble in china fueling worldwidide fears. linsey davis is at the new york stock exchange with the latest. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, robin. a tough one here on wall street

7:10 am
into place and would trigger and shut down the markets if there was a precipitous fall. twicthis week the circuit breakers shut everything down to give a pause but guess what, it worked in the complete opposite direction. it incited panic and the markets started to fall so this is -- this is a bizarre behavior and too much heavy-handed intervention on behalf of the chinese. >> a little bit of panic here, especially when it comes to american 401(k)s. the average american 401(k) has dropped $4500. what's your advice? >> well, the advice is don't open your envelopes for this month. it's been an ugly first opening as you just heard. it's the worst opening for the dow for the year that we've ever so, what you want t to do isust sit t tight fothe moment and not worry. now, why should people think that what happens in china affects us? it's not like vegas, what stays in vegas, it's now affecting us as a global market. any companies that have a u.s. standing but global footprint like the starbucks of the year, the young brands, they love
7:11 am
big chinese exposure and you may very well own those stocks, so these are still good comnies going through a slight blip in a tough time. >> fox business network has the next republican debate coming up on thursday. you think the focus will shift from terrorism to the economy. >> absolutely believe it does. how could it not? people vote their wallets in the end. >> great to see you, liz. >> good to see you. >> you can see the fox business network, the next republican george. >> thanks, robin. we turn to tonya couch, the mother of the affluenza teen back in texas this morning in court to face charges that she helped her son skiprobation and hide out in mexico. abc's matt gutman has been on the case from the start and joins us now with the latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, george. that's right, tonya couch will be arraigned this morning charged with helping her son flee to mexico, becoming america's most wanted mom. now, texas authorities taking a special interest in her setting bond at a million dollars, the sheriff even escorting her to jail himself. first time he's done that in 15

7:14 am
control during a town hall meeting in virginia. he denied any suggestion of a conspiracy against gun owners' rights and said he's willing to meet with the nra. >> i've said this repeatedly, i'm happy to meet with them and talk to them but the conversation has to be based on facts and truth and what we're proposing, not some, you know, imaginary fiction in which obama is trying to take away yr guns. >> the president said he will not support any congressional candidate who opposes gun reform. one of america's most powerfulir to ground weapons has ended up in cuba by mistake. "the wall street journrnal" reports an inactive hellllfire missile was shipped to europe for training purposes then disappeared until showing up in cubans may have shared that technology with russia or north korea. and finally, when is the st time you went bowling? why am i asking?

7:17 am
let me explain. you still have to match five white balls and one red ball to win the jackpot but in october the number of white balls in the drum went up from 59 to 69 but the number of red balls went down from 35 to 26. get it? well, all you really need to know changes resulted in your ckpot chances from 1 in 175 million to 1 in 292 million. guys, before the drawing on wednesesday theyere selling tickets at a rate of 500,000 eversingle hour. so we got this big jackpot, 700 million. certainly by next week but probably go up by saturday. pools and you'll give us the dos and don'ts. >> this "gma" family could break up real fast if we win the lottery. >> that's okay. you won't be coming back. thanks, t.j. rob and, boy, this bter blast across the midwest. watcout for the football game in minnesota. nfc wild card happening in minnesota. where they're playing outdoors
