david lewis is the president and ceo and founder of operations ink, a human resources consulting form. the rules are pretty clear and yet still people are miscategorizing employees as independent contractors left and right. >> i don't know, it's not that they are so clear, it's that they are so subjective right now. that's the difficulty is that i think the irs and the department of labor feel like they put clear rules out there, but then the business owner, the average person looks and says well, i think i have more discretion than i do. and that's not necessarily the case. >> so let's go through the check list you have to think about. number one, how they are paid. hourly versus project. >> so, the idea here is that if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it's probably a duck, and the duck in this case is employee. so the more the independent contractor looks like an employee, the bigger risk you have. so if you can pay them on a project basis, if you have a document that shows that they are doing a project for a fixed fee, much easier to classify them as independent contracto

we want to bring in david chalen, and matt lewis, also a conservative commentator. to see you. david, let me start with you. pundits got it wrong. first they said 20% was his ceiling, he'd never get 20%, then he hit 25%. that would be his ceiling. then 30%. he won't get any more. last week it was 32%. today it's 36%. what's going on? >> what's going on is total donald trump dominance over the republican field. alisyn, inside this poll where you're right, this lead is larger than we have seen all cycle long, he's dominating on every issue. right? on commander in chief, on the economy, on how to deal with isis. you name the issue, especially an issue like immigration, he is the dominant force inside the field right now. yes, it bears out in these horse race numbers but it's even almost more impressive when you look under the hood at all those issues driving it. >> let's do that. let's look at some of the issues. isis, this is the issue we're dealing with today as we have been for weeks and months. who would be the best choice to handle isis the poll asked? in august,

bring in cnn political commentator and anchor at time warner cable news, errol lewis, brian stelter as well as bruce hanes and david, let me start with you. this is not just trump winning. he has seen, if you look -- let me throw up this one poll about his handling of things. candidates handling of things. he's seen as far and away the most capable candidate in fighting illegal immigration and the fight against isis. it's not just his brand. they like his policies, too. doesn't that spell even bigger trouble for the other republicans in the field? >> well, it does, kate. and look at those numbers. they all exceed his actual level of support in the horse race. so he is winning over, some republicans who say they're with cruz or rubio or some other candidate, but they still think trump is best equipped to handle isis or immigration and certainly the economy. and this is clearly part of the fuel behind his dominance in the polls, as is this notion that republicans are growing more and more -- they are coming around to the idea that maybe they're best positioned in the general position with trump as their nominee. that

we are joining now by cnn political director david callahan an senior contributor for the daily caller, matt lewis, author of the new book too dumb to fail." let's put it up one more time. this is interesting to see the progress or lack thereof. the candidates have made. donald trump far and away again the leader. he is up since, hmm, this is no. >> so donald trump is 39%. he had been at 36% in november. he is more than twice his closest competitor. >> you can't look at the numbers and say that donald trump closes out 2015 in the most dominant position he's been in and probably a more dominant position than any of us ever expected when we got to the place that we would be just a month away from the voting. but the other thing that is as stroundi i astounding in these numbers is that you can't find a bad number for donald trump here. across the issues, he does better than his overall support which means that there are republicans who are choosing other candidates to vote for in this poll who still believe donald trump would be the best on economy, the best on immigration, the best on isis. he has r

david corn, washington bureau chief for mother jones and an msnbc political analyst. also with is, josh bare row, correspondent for "the new york times" and msnbc contributor and matt lewis, contributor for the daily column. why would vladimir putin want donald trump to be the next president of the united states? >> you know, this would be really entertaining if it was just a netflix series, but it may well be one day. i'm sure trump is selling the rights. but for trump, not to quite recognize that being complimented by putin is not actually a compliment. it's pretty stunning for the guy who wrote the best business book ever called "the art of the deal." have you heard of it, lawrence? it was just a couple of nights ago he didn't know what the nuclear triad was, which must have been great news to putin. he says yeah, i want somebody in charge of the nuclear arsenal of the u.s. who doesn't really understand it. that will probably help us somehow. it is gobsmacking, both sides. but you've got to believe that putin is a little more wiley at this than donald trump. but yet, trump is the greatest, he's the smartest, the most intelligent person who has ever run for president.
