talk about this nasty turn in the gop race with bob cussack, editor and chief of "the hill" and ari fleischer. ari, have you ever seen a day like today in politics before? these guys are trying to be president of the greatest country of the world. >> you really miss george w. bush now, don't you? i don't know whether to laugh or cry. the laugh part of me says look at the surge and turn out on the republican side in all four contests so far. >> there's a massive outpouring of people interested in this republican race maybe because they're not talking about political issues. the cry part is -- >> you said like normal -- i don't conduct myself. i don't know any of my co-workers conduct themselves at work. we thought we had seen it all in this campaign. everything sort of ramped up so much in this debate last night and then today. why is that, ari? >> don, here's the thing that you have to look at if you are a republican. there's a reason so many people are participating in the republican primaries. it's because finally you're getting a lot of folks that gave up on politics pouring into the arena

ari fleischer -- the former white house press secretary after new hampshire -- it looks like cruz -- trump and one other candidate will be in the race for ththlong haul -- but right now it's not clear who that third candidate will be.after iowa it looked like rubio -- but now john kasich and jeb bush are both back in the mix. following the pack, new jersey governor chris christie was banking on a strong showing in new hampshire, but will likely finish in sixth place..last night he said he's heading home to new jersey to wait for the official results.he said sometime this morning or later this afternoon, he will make a decision about how to move forward in the race.some suggest he's preparing to exit the race. now we are taking a look at where the race will go from here.a week from saturday -- republicans will square off in a primary vote in south carolina.a few days later on the 23-rd -- they will be in vada for caucus nigig. ninit.those states are flipped for democrats.they will first head to nevada for caucuses on saturday the 20-th.and the will head to south @arolina for a primary

bush, ari fleischer is with us. >> thank you. >> did you sleep at all? >> you know what?about midnight, i thought, just going to take a four hour break and then get back to it. you saw the numbers from the entrance polls. you're a student of all of this. ted cruz does really well in a state that has a lot of evangelical voters. i guess the big question, what happens in new hampshire? >> well, new hampshire is mauuc more moderate, liberal, republican state. 40% call them moderates or liberals in the 2012 primary. it's much more difficult for ted to repeat in new hampshire but here's the marco rubio factor, so interesting. does it create a divide in conflict for ted cruz? this republican race remains an absolute fluid dynamic race with multiple actors. it's going to be very hard to predict. >> so interesting. when you talk about marco rubio, are you hearing from establishment types today and shift because of last night yet or anyone saying, you know, i'm going to move from jeb bush to mar marco? >> i think that shift starts two or three months ago during the debates. people
