why do think he decided to get then, before iowa? john: there were 16.re was no path for him. he came to that conclusion he tried his best to reinvent himself

john: i thought if anybody was going to drop out before iowa it would be him.'t think he is a dumb man. he thinks he has not been able to overcome the legacy of his 2012 race. he is not getting traction. i don't think money will necessarily help him. i think he understood that. the timing is a little -- it is never a good time to get out but i am not shocked. mark: he has been shutting down campaign offices and laying off staff so it was going to be tough going forward. in addition to the no staff was the reality there were so many people ahead of him who are appealing to the same voters. john: the same discussion we often have around this office -- what can stop donald trump? if you ask the same question, what could make rick perry the nominee? what circumstances could have occurred given where he is now? i find it hard to imagine even if i were being the most pro-rick perry person that would elevate him to the top of this large field. mark: he loves his grandkids and i am sure he will spend time with his family. i will be curious to see if he endorses anyone.

i expected that scott walker would quit the race before iowa because there's no trampoline in presidential politics. you don't go to the top and then bounce back up. and so he was in trouble. but my sense was that he would at least hold on for a little longer. he had money. that's not the problem. he was running low. and knew money wasn't coming in. but he had enough to go on for a while longer. what i think happened today was a playout of that poll number you that just mentioned, that 0.0, and the notion that he had actually fallen to a point where it was very likely that he would be the first major contender to be pushed out of the main stage debates down to the kid table. and that -- for a guy with scott walker's ego and his lingering ambition, the fact he still wants to be in politics, the notion of being shuttled off to the kids' table and having to debate bobby jindal i just don't think appealed to him. >> that's fascinating because i just saw some reporting saying that the super pac allied with governor walker still has quite a bit of money of cash on hand. i think i saw the number,

next nominee for president, democrats will have six debates and only four have been scheduled before the iowases and that has led to allegations of a rigged process, most recently articulated by martin o'malley. >> four debates. four debates? four debates, four debates and four debates only, we are told before voters in our earliest states make their decision. this is totally unpress denlth in our party's history. this sort of rigged process has never been attempted before. how does this help us make our case to the american people. one debate in iowa? one debate in new hampshire? that's all we can afford? and get this. the new hampshire debate is cynically wedge into the high point of holiday shopping season so as few people watch it as possible. is this how the democratic party selects its nominee? are we something less? something else? >> o'malley is continuing his crusade, calling for protests outthe dnc next week. bernie sanders has called on the party to add more debates to the schedule and earlier, hillary clinton said she would participate in more party sanctioned debates. meanwhile,

before iowa?arty. >> so governor, let's just say that, you know, you have the opportunity to have more debates. how are you different? what are you bringing to the table that maybe hillary clinton, bernie sanders aren't? >> i have this to offer. i have not only put out bold progressive policy papers on where our country needs to go, but i'm the only candidate in this race with 15 years of executive experience. actually getting these things done. raising the minimum wage in my state. passing comprehensive gun safety legislation, passing the dream act, passing marriage equality, doing the things that actually made college more affordable like freezing college tuition four years in a row. no other state did that. so i get things done. i have an executive's background, and i've laid out bold progressive proposals for how we rebuild the american dream we share so that all of us who work hard are able to actually get ahead in this american economic of opportunity again. >> governor, hillary clinton has

he'll be out before iowa. you read it here first. well, robert costa, national republican reporter with "the washington post," michael steele was rnc chair. robert, you're with the guy all the time. i know from conversations with him he's not exactly in a mood to commit suicide, harry caray, if he see he's going to blow it, i don't think he wants to face it. but that was a while before this whole something started. is he now so caught up with the that he might be president or at least the nominee of the party, that nothing will stop him except the rejection of the voters? >> he wants to win and his friends have always said, if he starts to fall behind in the polls, he may get out. if you look at his moves, this is someone for now who is certainly in it to win it. >> is he spending the money necessary to win in iowa? >> not on ads, not on buys, but when it comes to grassroots infrastructure, he is spending the money. doesn't have many aides around him. spends most of his money on his private plane, but he has a ground game. >> anyway,

it's happening five months before iowa and 16, 17 months before a november election in 2016.nd i predict, andrea, if hillary clinton is the nominee in november of 2016, very few people will go to the polls thinking about e-mails. >> do you think there's any doubt she'll be the nominee? she's so far ahead as you've been point out. >> i don't have any doubts, although you've got to give bernie sandseers an awfully lotf credit. he's hitting a responsive chord on the progressive wing of our party and he's done a great job. do i think he can use that as a springboard to win in states like pennsylvania and florida and ohio? i don't think so. i think whenever you get into a state that has a large amount of african-american and latino voters, hillary clinton does extraordinarily well there. i think it's a different playing field in iowa and new hampshire. but, you know, i've learned a long time ago never to say never in politics. i thought after the first debate, donald trump's numbers were going to go down like a rock. so this is an unusual year. anything can happen. >> you and me b

the last week before iowa and it all came down and they went with boring john kerry as the nominee. >> why? >> because they say voters eventually get serious. right now voters know a poll is a poll. a poll is not a vote. when call my dad and mom and ask who your presence is. someone compared it as you are shopping at the mall and sort of waiting in one space but you are willing to move if there is another store that you can see. so i think that there is some truth to that, though when you see this guy at 30%, and increasingly almost 40% in new hampshire. >> in new hampshire. >> that's starting to get a little scary because these people were saying it would start to november now and -- move now and it hasn't. >> maybe things will go according to past patterns and past elections or maybe donald trump is rewriting. this who knows? what a rock and roll ride this is going to be. a.b., david, thank you both. >> any candidate who expects to win the white house, better win the women's vote. that's a big slice of the electorate. and current frontrunner donald trump has come under fire for comm

we're still over 100 days out before iowa from now to december, it could be a very different ball game republicans and the primary process. >> you've never had ouzers hold history and hold the first, second and third place. >> we have three of them. >> and they're holding. >> this is unprecedented in politics today and there is a reason why, because people are upset with the establishment, with the -- >> okay. hold on. hold on. i've been covering presidential pdz politics for a long time and -- can we pause? boom, right there. sta stay with me, everyone. coming up, marco rubio says he wants no part in what he calls the trump freak show. will that back fire on him? just might be the one. to clean the oceans, to start a movement, or lead a country. it may not be obvious yet, but one of these kids is going to change the world. we just need to make sure she has what she needs. welcome to windows 10. the future starts now for all of us. when you're not confident your company's data is secure, the possibility of a breach can quickly become the only thing you think about. that's where at&t ca

to be fair to him and all the others, there's still plenty of time before iowa voters go to their caucuses. >> that's right. we are still months away. mike, thank you so much. >>> well, all this week donald trump's been taking quite a few hits from his rivals on the campaign trail. one of them not holding back at all is louisiana governor bobby jindal. i had a chance to catch up with him earlier. >> welcome, governor. great to have you on the show today. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> your campaign has taken a very big turn this week with you launching a no-holds-barred attack on donald trump. you call him, quote, a narcissist, egomaniac and questioned his faith say, quote, he had not read the bible. isn't that calling him a phony christian? is that a cheap shot? >> well, a couple things. first, the comment about the bible is when asked his favorite book, he said the bible and said he couldn't name a vipture verse that impacted him. i joked that he had not read the bible because his name is not in it. here's the serious point. we've got a unique opportunit

. >> before iowa even? >> i think so. because it's all about whether you can raise the money to continue. some of the candidates on the stage, governor bush and others, have ample resources to move on. and so there's a little less at stake although it's still a very important debate. >> john king, what do you expect? >> i'm most interested in what dr. carson does tonight. because we know donald trump has moved to the head of the pack. we know despite all of us trying to apply the normal rule of politics when he says things we think are outrageous or too much bravado to them, we think it's going to hurt him and only helps him. he's here. we know that. he's going to be a force until we get to the voting. is dr. carson, is this a temporary boom like we saw some of the candidates in 2012? or can he use this debate tonight to build and sustain? he's the kinder gentler trump. republicans are clearly looking for somebody outside of the establishment, somebody without a title like senator or governor. can he sustain it when he wi

our goal has to bed to get those issues on individuals issues. >> endorsing before iowa or new hampshire? >> probably not. probably -- no matter how i say this -- i never can get it right. if i say it is conceivable, the headline will say something different. if it is conceivable -- it is conceivable that it could happen. i would say it is not likely. although conceivable. >> we will go next to michael rose from bloomberg, any whiskey from the globe. -- andy wind ski -- >> canyou talk about labor law reform -- you mentioned -- or use the word archaic fairy -- several times a day. i was wondering if you could talk about in an ideal world how would you like to see labor law changed and are there any prospects for any of that happening, assuming we still have a republican congress or how do you see the fight for that going forward? >> i say archaic for a reason. they were written in 1949. is anybody think the economy is the same as 1949? yeah. if you look at any international agency that lists workers rights, you can see how low we scored because our laws are very bad. bernie sanders is tal

iowa was where scott walker was concentrating most of his efforts. he was down to 5% by the time he dropped out of the race. beforestarted failing in iowa and everywhere - they now feel like when they picked him they chose to throw good money after bad. at the way the whole thing ended up. what happens to all of their folks and their fat wallets. are they going to give money to anybody else. honestly, scott walker's staffer who has gone to some other's campaign so far, as far as you can tell is one of scott walker's co-chairs in new hampshire who wept to marco rubio coup . you realize scott walker is polling at 1% right now. the co-chair isn't going to make much of a difference to anybody else's campaign. >> there is one place that might have the beingest ripples in terms of scott walker getting out of the race. he was down to 5% among republicans in the state of iowa before he dropped out of the race. but before he started failing in iowa and everywhere, scott walker had been a front-runner in iowa for a really long time, a long enough time that it leaves a mark. for example, if you look at the iowa state senate,

not insults. >> it is important to note it is it only september and plenty of campaigning ahead before the iowas go to their caucus us. >> thank you very much. and you can hear more from the presidential field on fox news sunday. ohio governor john kasich will be on with chris wallace and speak with ron johnson and connecticut senator chris murphy and what about the refugee crisis in europe. and what the u.s. should do. and as that debate over the migrant crisis grows here. demonstrators showing support for migrants that are crossing borders to escape war and terrorism in the mideast. european leaders meeting to discuss how to handle the crisis and several countries are hitting the limit on the number of migrants they can accept. john? >> and julie, 28 nation european commission is divided on how to deal with the migrant and refugee crisis in europe as they continue to worsen. today, though, there were rallies in europe including one in london with tens of thousands of people supporting refugees and migrants and the families walked along the wire fences and backed in buses including the man who

. >>> five months before the iowa kcaucuses, six days before the cnn republican debate. donald trump is surging in a cnn poll and he's also slamming his rivals on cnn's airwaves. and before you say anything, wait, it's exciting. it is news. we have the new poll conduct this had week and donald trump becomes the first gop candidate in the very crowded field to cross against the 30% mark. up and over. and by the way,case you're wondering how much upsy, it's an eight-point jump from the poll in august. we also asked the question who republican voters consider most likely to win the nomination and trump's numbers are even bigger, 51% now expect trump to carry the party banner in the general election. and you can just compare that to the midsummer numbers and his rise along with ben carson, i might add, is even more clear. at the apparent expense of, you guessed it, jeb bush and scott walker. wow. that's what the voters think, this week anyway. trump, as you know, has strong opinions particularly about opponents who go after him. this morning on cnn's new day" the front-runne

iowa. four years before that, you had right now huckabee and mccain were in single digits. four years before that howard dean up by a bigger margin than trump. he loses by 20. this is how these things go. that's what makes it fun. if it was easy everybody would do it spent another factor people will raise with you guys that shape the environment in a way that spreads been difficult to do with his it seems with the beheading of james foley a year ago that public opinion really shifted in a more hawkish direction. certainly among republicans and a lot of people think that's made it harder going for brand than you would have thought. one, do you accept the premise if there's a shift in public sentiment, and has it made it tougher for the camping? >> he follows the ronald reagan foreign policy doctrine of peace through strength. that he believes america should have the greatest military in the world, but that also doesn't mean we should be for innovation for the sake of energy to the intervention. he opposed the arming of al-qaeda, isis allies and savored the relatives, is isis

iowa, new hampshire, nevada, four years before that, right now huckabee and mccain in single digits. they win iowa and new hampshire to be the nominee. before that, howard dean up by a bigger margin than trump and this is sort of just this is how they go and that's what makes it a lot of fun. if it was easy, a lot of people do it. >> another factor people will raise with you guys that has shaped the environment in a way that's perhaps been difficult to deal with is it seemed the with beheading of james foley that public opinion shifted in a more hawkish direction. certainly among republicans and a lot of people think that's made it harder going for rand than they would have thought. so, one, do you accept the premise that there's the shift in public sentiment? and, two, has it made the sledding tougher for the campaign? >> well, you know, rand, he follows the ronald reagan foreign policy doctrine of peace through strength. so he believes america should have the greatest military in the world and shouldn't be afraid to protect american interests but that doesn't mean that we should be

in fact i was at 2% two weeks before iowa caucuses and got 26% of the vote in iowa caucuses. >> we'rea caucus exactly when it is. >> you guys are occupied with national polls. martha: it's a legitimate question, senator. >> that doesn't, it is not a legitimate question. martha: why. >> there is no correlation between national polls and who wins elections. it just isn't. four years ago rick perry was 41% in the national polls. he didn't win a single delegate. i understand your occupation. i will be occupied where the votes are. they're counted first in the state of iowa. that is where i will be in this weekend and work hardp to talk about issues that will win votes there. martha: also talked about the minimum wage last night. >> i did. martha: you were on your own in terms of believing that raising minimum wage is the right thing to do. do you feel like you made some headway with that argument. >> i think that was top trending thing on facebook for a long, long time. the reason is, it is very tough when you say you're for working americans, and then you bail out gm and bail out wall st

he returned to iowa, wearing an orange and orange camouflage "make america great again" hat. he mingled with fans beforehe big iowa versus iowa state game. trump also attended a campaign rally in boone, iowa, where he tossed out hats to the crowd and also talked about his nearest opponent, better than carson. >> people don't have energy. i don't think ben has the energy. ben is a nice man, but when you are negotiating against china and you're negotiating against these japanese guys that are going to come at you in waves, and they think we're all a bunch of jerks because our leaders are so stupid and so incompetent and so inept, we need people that are really smart that have tremendous deal-making skills, and that have great, great energy. >> dr. carson reacted to trump's energy comments yesterday. >> that doesn't bother you at all? >> no, it doesn't bother me because i recognize that i have plenty of energy. you know, operating on people for 10, 12, sometimes for greater than 20 hours at a time, making critical decisions after many hours of intense work. >> but dr. carson -- >> unexpected situations com

how do you feel about them endorsing before iowa or new hampshire than? >> probably not. if i say this you're going to read it wrong. i tried this before, i never can get it right. obviously it's conceivable. . it is conceivable that that could happen. make sure you hear what i'm saying. i'm not saying it is going to happen. it is conceivable that it could happen. i'm saying that it is not likely. although conceivable. >> we are going to go next to michael rose from bloomberg, sean from cbs. >> high. i was wondering if you could talk a little bit about labor law, the changes to labor law. i just wased -- wondering if you could talk about in an ideal world how would you like to see labor law changed, and are there any prospects for any of that happening, assuming we still have republican congress or had easy to fight for that going forward? reason. archaic for a it was written in 1949. does anybody here think the economy is the same as it was in 1949? our laws have not changed. you look at any international agency that works on workers rights in industrialized countries, ho

he's running last and i will tell you last time a two weeks to go before iowa he was in last place and won the pole in iowa. the only reason that was notable was because he was behind john huntsman too pulled out of iowa and even said i'm pulling out because in iowa all they do is think -- two weeks later rick santorum and supporting iowa and to refresh everyone's memory he won 11 out of 30 states and tied to others as far as delegates. probably the belief was if he would have won michigan out right a lot of people believe romney would have gotten out of the race to us understanding the understanding the fluidity of these types of races understanding, you look at the "cnn" poll yesterday scott walker's under 1%. i remember having questions three months ago when people asked me how are you going to stop scott walker? if you go back four years ago in the league was herman cain, michele bachmann. romney was there, gingrich was there. a lot of people and perry and most of them didn't get past iowa. you really have to take a look and understand the way these races are. the first thing you h

iowa, new hampshire, nevada, four years before that, right now huckabee and mccain in single digits. they win iowa and new hampshire to be the nominee. before that, howard dean up by a bigger margin than trump and this is sort of just this is how they go and that's what makes it a lot of fun. if it was easy, a lot of people do it. >> another factor people will raise with you guys that has shaped the environment in a way that's perhaps been difficult to deal with is it seemed the with beheading of james foley that public opinion shifted in a more hawkish direction. certainly among republicans and a lot of people think that's made it harder going for rand than they would have thought. so, one, do you accept the premise that there's the shift in public sentiment? and, two, has it made the sledding tougher for the campaign? >> well, you know, rand, he follows the ronald reagan foreign policy doctrine of peace through strength. so he believes america should have the greatest military in the world and shouldn't be afraid to protect american interests but that doesn't mean that we should be

but come january 1, you've got a month before iowa and there will be $100 million dumped on his head,oing to knock him down. >> we could do a little more on this, because if you're just joining us, of breaking news, of donald trump issuing a response on the birther issue. in michigan, a big event for all of the republicans, a fight for the party's nomination reportedly has led to some actual fist fighting. the gop leadership conference in mackinac island, what's going on there? >> reporter: there was a small little scuffle downtown on mackinac island between rand paul and a ben carson staffer. six candidates were expected to attend this conference, that's now down to five, governor scott walker had to cancel because of inclement weather. but 2,200 people registered for this event. that's the highest she's ever seen. and there was excitement over the 2016 presidential candidates. later today, it will be fiorina, tom cruise, and senator rand paul. there will be a straw poll about 10:00 p.m. tonight. and it will be interesting to watch that because the front runners, donald trump and ben

i will tell you, last time, with two weeks to go before iowa, he was in last place and one and i went. the only reason that was so notable is because he was behind jon huntsman, who had pulled out of iowa and said, in iowa all pickig is corn -- all they is corn, and in new hampshire, they pick presidents. states11 out of the 30 and tied to others. probably the belief was that he wonld have one michigan -- michigan outright. to us, understanding the youidity of these races -- look at cnn yesterday, scott walker is under 1%. , remember having question people asking me, how are you going to stop scott walker. if you go back four years ago, in the lead was herman cain, michele bachmann. romney was there. . lot of people -- perry most of them did not get past iowa. you really have to take a look and understand the way these races are of your the first thing you have to understand is there is not one primary right now, or one caucus. different people are running against different people. in other words, sure, santorum , orunning against huckabee whatever it is. there are multiple primaries

none of those folks finished in the top two in iowa, new hampshire, and nevada. four years before that you had -- right now huckabee and mccain were in single digits, you had howard dean up by a bigger margin than trump. a week out from iowa he loses by 20. so this is how these things go and that's what makes it fun. if it was easy, everybody would do it. >> another factor people will raise with you guys that has shaped the environment in a way that's perhaps been difficult to deal with is it seemed the with beheading of james foley that public opinion shifted in a more hawkish direction. certainly among republicans and a lot of people think that's made it harder going for rand than they would have thought. so, one, do you accept the premise that there's the shift in public sentiment and, two, has it made the sledding tougher for the campaign? >> well, you know is, rand, he follows the ronald reagan foreign policy doctrine of peace through strength. so he believes america should have the greatest military in the world and shouldn't be afraid to protect american interests but that

." >> it's still september before the iowa caucuses. things are still very fluid.on't -- i think if the clinton people within the campaign are taking seriously all the noise from outside of the campaign she's in desperate trouble, then they have a really big problem and it has nothing to do we mail. >> see, this is an excellent point. and one of the most fascinating point. you feel these sort of pressures build and this storm will build. you have to do x, you have to do y. and one of the things i think distinguish the obama campaign as a campaign, independent in some respects from the candidate himself and his qualifications and vision. was their sort of institutional resistance to being bullied by these sort of calls that come from outside about what you have to do. and that ended up sort of working very well for them. and there was a lot of talk about this time around the clinton campaign being similarly focused. >> that's the classic, don't worry, i've got this, internet meme, which has been the president's, you know, the hallmark of the president's -- of this p

if i say it is conceivable, the headline will say they can endorse before iowa. i am not saying that. it is conceivable that could happen. make sure you hear what i am saying. i'm not saying it is going to happen, it is conceivable it could happen. i would say it is not likely. >> ok. to michael rose from bloomberg, shawn from cbs and linda feldman. >> i wonder if you could talk about labor law reform. usedentioned, you the word archaic and i'm wondering if you could talk about in an ideal world how would you like to see labor law changed and are there any prospects for any of that happening, assuming we still have republican congress, or how do you see the fight for that going forward? >> i say archaic for a reason. they were written in 1949. does anybody here think the economy is the same way as it was in 1949? laws have gotten worse and worse. if you look at any international agency that looks at the workers rights in industrialized countries, you see the laws are very bad. bernie sanders is talking about labor law reform baird -- labor law reform. remediesill

the dnc's debate schedule, which allows for six democratic debates, four of which will be held before the iowaaucuses in february. this is martin o'malley last -- martin o'malley also criticized the schedule last month at the democratic national committee summer meeting in minneapolis. >> four debates. what are debates? four debates. four debates and four debates only we're told for voters to make their decision. this is totally unprecedented in our party's history. this sort of rate process has never been attempted before. where did it come from? to what end, for what purpose, what national or party interest does this decree serve? how does this help us tell the story of the last eight years of democratic progress? how does this promote our democratic ideas for making wages go up and household incomes go up again instead of down? amy: it's not the first time the former governor of maryland has expressed concern about the political process. in may, when he announced his bid for the democratic presidential nomination, martin o'malley voiced indirect criticism of fellow candidates hillary clinto

look, polls 4 1/2 months before the iowa caucuses are absolutely ludicrous. this time in 2011 michele bachmann was ahead in the polls in the iowa caucuses and she almost came in last. i know we have to have something to talk about and i'm an nbc contributor as well but it's ludicrous to follow the polls like this. look, bernie sanders is attra attracting a lot of attention from the progressive wing of our party if real good news for hillary clinton in all of these polls is when you look at the sanders voters they all say they would have absolutely no problem supporting hillary clinton in the fall. and that's a big difference. >> this is what bernie sanders had to say when talking on capitol hill today. >> what we are now going to be doing is starting to put some resources into states beyond iowa, beyond new hampshire, states that will be coming up on super tuesday and all i can tell you at this point is we're feeling pretty good. >> do you think sanders has the ability to go outside of the early states, you know, new hampshire, iowa, can he start creating the
