primaries start, people start going to the polls, you know, marco rubio, jeb bush, john kasich, chris kristyy're -- chris christie, if they're all whacking up delegates, that creates more of an opportunity for an alternative from the conservative end. now on the flip side of that, if they're able to narrow the field down amongst the establishment, then if you still have trump, carson, fiorina, cruz and they're all whacking up candidates, that might provide that opportunity for that establishment candidate. so the real question is, what exactly does this field look like when people start heading to the polls? liz: yeah. it's a little clearer on the democratic side, congressman garamendi, tomorrow night we've got a democratic debate on cbs. hillary clinton, when you poll democrats, a huge percentage are behind her. i believe more than 80%. but also people who look favorably, at least on the democratic side, and i believe bernie sanders has about 50 or some odd percent. but then when you talk about the unfavorable part of it, there is a tinge that seems to be surrounding hillary clinton whether

>> i think, chris, in his discussion with kristi, i think underlined the real issue here, which let'sdubai airport and you take an american flight home to the united states, you are going to get already a very kind of serious, every passenger will be given an extra level of screening and all the hands likely will be looked at. there is a great deal of scrutiny what there isn't is scrutiny of the people that work at the airport. the people that work in the baggage handling. the people that work in the concession stands. as far as i'm aware, that is not something done in any systematic way at middle eastern airports. that's really the issue here, the insider threat. it's not giving extra levels of security screening to passengers who are getting on the plane. that's a good thing. but at the end of the day, if the theories are true about the metro jet, it's somebody inside the airport, itself, who managed to get this bomb on the plane in some manner. that's really, you know, that's a big issue that need to be looked at. i don't think that the measures that we got to be discussed at least

kristi needed this performance. the early debate was a great move for chris christie. that stage where you have only four candidates on the stage, plenty of time to talk which he has not been able to do yet which is be the straight talker on stage. chris christie gets to be the straight talker that everyone always thought that he was. a lot of time to convey his message. knowing directly after hillary. he can seem like a top-tier candidate. somebody who has that optimistic vision of i will make it. i will become the nominee. neil: i definitely understand what you are saying. moving your way up to the first stage. obviously carly fiorina benefited from that. can you go up to the first stage? a great question. i think that it is entirely possible. neil: i don't think you understand what i just said. >> yeah, right. you cannot underestimate how important i think some of these candidates believed their blue state supported. it is not just national polling among republicans. itemized contributions since 1992. you get a lot of support. paying attention to this particular cam
