and we know donald trump is behind stage. m.j., trump is expected to be there any second. are you expecting him to respond to the criticism about those 9/11 comments? >> well, erin, so far the trump campaign has not commented on trump's remarks that have drawn quite a bit of backlash. i'm in the jazz naz yum in the local high school and he'll take the stage in a few minutes. we know that the campaign is not commenting and we found out that trump will not be gagling with reporters or holding a press conference. so there's not many opportunities to ask for a comment on this. i will tell you, you know, you mentioned that we are very close to where hillary clinton is campaigning tonight. if you actually drive some 15, 20 minutes north, we would be in new hampshire where hillary clinton is. so a bit of a duel of the two campaigns tonight. >> what is the mood there? obviously they're playing the music. how would you describe the mood and the attendance? >> well, there was a very long line that formed starting this afternoon. you can see behind me the gymnasium i can tell you is

donald trump is not going to lose. he is going to double down on all his efforts and do what's necessary, not just to win iowa but win all the states. >> trump has avoided criticizing carson a lot. carson is leading in the polls. he is hitting ben carson on a few areas. one is abofrmgts. >> ben was pro-abortion not so long ago as everybody has told me. i don't know personaly, but that's what i'm told. all of a sudden he's so hard on abortion, under no circumstances virtually no exceptions. >> ben carson is not the only one who would have had a change of heart. here is donald trump. >> would president trump ban partial birth abortion? >> i'm very pro-choice. i hate the concept of abortion. i hate it. i hate everything it stands for. i cringe when i listen to people debating the subject, but still i just believe in choice. >> donald trump says he is pro-life. how is that different from ben carson? >> what mr. trump's policies are as far as abortion or any of the other important social issues that are important to the folk

three of you said this was a good day for donald trump. s take a listen to how the bush campaign is spinning it, at least in terms of this ad. >> who do you talk to for military advice? >> i watch the shows. >> trump says he "always felt i was in the military" despite never serving in the military and draft deferments during vietnam. >> dana, do you still think this was a good day for donald trump? >> yes only because i'm talking about it in the short run. he's at 25% in your poll in south carolina. he's always around there, maybe up to 30%. you don't win the republican nomination with 30%. you need to get that majority. i don't see how he gets that. the reason is because there is a significant majority even within the republican electorate that says this guy is a clown. he just can't be the nominee. i don't know how we get to that point exactly because he's doing as well as anybody else in the next nearest is ben carson. he is holding his own. i just don't see how he grows that enough to get the nomination, whereas you can see one of the e

let me say that again, 100 days donald trump has led the republican race for president. the new poll out today shows trump has 32% of the gop vote. that's a significant lead. it's ten points over number two and more than triple number three. but at the same time, another controversy for donald trump. mark preston is out front ith that. mark, the newest trump controversy is about comments he made about the war in afghanistan. so let's show viewers exactly what happened. first here is donald trump on october 6. >> we made a terrible mistake getting involved there in the first place. we had real brill kraiant think that didn't know what the hell they were doing and it's a mess. at this point you probably have to because that thing will collapse about two seconds after they leave just as i said that iraq would collapse after we leave. >> and then he was asked about his comments about the afghanistan war being a terrible will mistake, which you just heard him say there. he was asked about that yesterday here on cnn. and he said that he didn't say that at all. here he is. >> we

story with the headline "donald trump is not going anywhere". vitz is the chief national correspondent. he got to watch trump watch himself on tv a lot. mark joins us now. i want to read you a favorite quote from your story that has to do with something you seen tonight. you saw donald trump is a match with this political moment. and tonight, we saw donald trump swear on this stuff, throwing bss around and imitating hillary clinton and jeb bush. is that what this moment calls for? >> specifically swearing, i don't think he'll lose any votes because of that but i think that that is a problem of everything that trump does, which is in someways unpredictable but something that flies very much in the face of normal politics. he has been very, very effective with credibility been able to be opposite anyone whose been in politics and he can say that i'm above the false generalness that marco rubio and jeb bush might engage in when they hate each other, let me tell you, they really hate each other this is part of the message resinating and going to a mo

at this hour live, donald trump at a rally. he'll speak about the democratic debate and new polls today in richmond, virginia. these are live pictures. thousands are gathering to hear trump in just a few moments. he will be coming out and speaking. the republican front-runner seen here arriving just moments ago. taking back the national stage today, panning the democratic debate making it clear that he thinks he could beat hillary clinton in the debate. this is the latest cnn poll that shows trump's dominance growing. double-digit leads in both nevada and south carolina. 16 points ahead of ben carson in nevada and double digits as well in south carolina. the rest of the candidates still in single digits. sara murray is joining us live at the trump rally. donald trump is obviously there and is going to be speaking. i know you had a chance to speak to him as he got out of the car. what are he tell you? >> reporter: that's right. i spoke to donald trump as he was going in. he said he believes he can beat hillary clinton in a debate

this is donald trump's turf. it doesn't work for jeb bush. n't think this is the right thing for him. >> trump is the best trash talker period, especially in politics in the last 20 years. do you want to go there with him? i would tell any candidate before you make that decision, can you -- is there any possibility you can actually beat donald trump up on twitter or trash talking. i'm not sure there's anybody on stage that is a better trash talker than donald trump. >> a lot of people have tried. maria, let me come to you with joe biden. getting crowds potentially key endorsements. we saw the reporting about the international association of firefighters saying likely would support him. his family is reportedly all in. what else does he need to make the decision at this point? >> i think there are two things that are going to matter in terms of coming down to a decision for joe biden. yes, it's late. yes, we're coming upon critical deadlines for filing in key states. there is no outcry from the democratic grassroots for joe biden to run. he's a

back to donald trump. sean, he is playing to peoria to a certain extent, and yet at the same time this is kind of unthinkable thing to say. people rally around president in a time of crisis. people look back and feel very strongly that w did everything he could to keep us safe in that really scary environment. and yet all of sudden donald trump coming out swinging again, and people respond. they like it. what is going on? >> well, i still think, and i differ with playing began a little bit -- meagan a little bit. i still think people are voting for his celebrity. i think his celebrity is still what is happening here. the one thing that hasn't happened here is a real talk about policies. i don't think you can look at where we are with polls people are judging these candidates based on policy they're judging them on likability and entertainment. unfortunately for my friend jeb bush, some of you know i'm in florida, he is not entertaining and nobody is listening to his policies. now agree with meagan that don

this is a vintage donald trump speech.t's this ranting and raving and winging it from one top pick to the next where he just offers not a vision where he wants to take the country but running commentary. look at the polls and at a certain point that's a problem for donald trump should those polls change but if you look at some polls, some of the respond da dents when asked to describe him, arrogant, out of touch, crazy. those are not the type of words people use when they are going to select a nominee. look, this speech again last night shows that we are still in the entertainment portion of our program. this is not -- we're not going through the process of voters selecting a nominee. >> jeffrey, let's pick up on that because kevin brought it up. the polls show him in front but the same poll with the ten-point lead and asked voters the first word they would use to describe donald trump. let me tell you the first words, idiot, jerk, stupid or dumb, apparently a combination. idiot, jerk, stupid or dumb. he's winning but you

donald trump's reaction.d of live by the polls and die by the polls and now we have seen not only in iowa where ben carson is now leading and our first national poll. you know, it will be interesting for a second and third national poll showing the same thing. and then force donald trump to respond because his normal opening act when he's been on the stump and the campaign trail is noting him leading in the polls. what happens when he's no longer leading? >> we'll see what happens tomorrow. >>> coming up, why deputies had to rescue a group of elementary school students of tn way to school? that's a story around the news nation. >>> tonight, the royals take on the mets in game one of the world serial yes, sir. neither team won a world series in 30 years. the cubs hadn't won in 107 but i digress. what are the oddsmakers say? coming up, our favorite sports writer jay buzzby will join us. n car insurance. yeah, everybody knows that. well, did you know that playing cards with kenny rogers gets old pretty fast? ♪ y

she has the latest for us. >> reporter: good morning, donald trump showed up here in sioux city iowa with more bad news, the polls show he is trailing dr. ben carson 4% nation wide. it comes after a string of polls show trump is behind in iowa. he took the stage here, pressing his supporters to work even harder. he said he is not giving up on victory here. >> from the time aannounced, i have been at the top of the polls, almost at the top. we are doing well. iowa, will you get your numbers up, please? [ cheers ] will you get these numbers up? i promise you, i will do is up a good job. >> reporter: trump also took a couple swipes at carson last night, basicaly saying he couldn't believe this was his competition. all this, of course, is going to come to a head on the debate stage in boulder tonight. this is a debate where trump's campaign feelings like the candidate is in his wheel house. it is focused on economic and policy issues, trump can put a spotlight on his business record, something he believes will shine when he is head-to-head against ben carson. >> sarah, thanks so much. wha

he was very tough on donald trump in that interview. hat he felt that even if trump weren't the nominee, that he may cast a shadow over whoever the nominee is with all this nativism about immigration and some of the other issues that he's raised. but in terms of christie, i think christie is getting traction, particularly in new hampshire where he's spending a lot of time. he still yet hasn't had that scrutiny that comes with beagle excavated into the front ranks. and the new jersey -- the new jersey scandals are still something that hangs over him. it's hard for me to see him projecting himself into the front line of candidates. but i know that mitt romney has a relationship with him. he was the key note speaker at the last democratic convention. so they have a trrelationship. what you really seed are republicans kachting about madly looking for someone who can take on trump, carson and the sort of outsider populist anti-government wing of the party. and they haven't yet lit on the candidate they believe can overcome this outsider movem

today donald trump retorted. >> he was very angry over the week. he said, you know, if this is going to be this nasty, let them have trump as their president. it's going to be nasty. if he doesn't like my tone, how is he going to deal with putin? how is he going to do with these killers in the middle east? >> gene robinson is a pulitzer prize winning columnist for "the washington post." howard fineman globe editorial director at huffington post. i never heard a candidate say i've got better things to do than talk to you people out there i could have fun playing with my toys since i'm rich and well born. what a statement. >> yeah. i never heard a successful say anything like that. i thought one rule of running for president that i really don't think has been broken this year or has dissolved this year, i think it applies, you have to ask people for their votes. you have to be sincere in that. you have to act as if you want the office. if you act, if you say, not just act as if, but say, look, i've got better things to do than be here humoring all you

. >> donald trump. >> why did you like donald trump in the debate?u know what, he's likable. he's personable, even though he's cocky and arrogant he's still personable and i think he can relate to a lot of people. >> are you considering him now for president? >> i would think about it, yes. >> you don't think he's humble though? >> no, no, not even close. >> but you didn't really like him before you came here? >> no, no, he was not even a maybe. >> what i'm going to ask you before we say good-bye, are all of you looking forward to the next debate. >> yes! >> absolutely. >> so you did get something out of this one. >> yes. >> all right. in our world we like to hear that you like to watch debates. >> thank you very much. thanks for letting us in their home. >> are we all looking forward the next debate? >> i want to get quick final thoughts from our panel starting with you, david. >> anderson, we don't know how this is -- what impact this is going to have, don't know what the audience size was up against the world series and if it did have a good audie

donald trump cannot finish the game. donald trump runs out of steam or gasoline. that is the headline. and there's no one he can blame for that but himself. if he was smart, he would have limited himself and said, i'm shocked by this, i'm so happy this is going on. but it's a long campaign and it's going to take a lot of time and it's many months until we vote and we've got a long way to go. but donald trump, because of his arrogance, never went there. >> wes, what about the point, though, that he has made. we see these live events of donald trump giving stump speeches and it doe start with the polls and him listing alled polls he's number one in. that's part of the stock stump speech. you have t admit that's a problem for him. >> i agree. but part of this, erin, is america wants a winner. donald trump is not afraid to be be a winner, and he -- when he does win -- >> you but he's not winning. >> neither is ben carson. is that really something -- >> let wes finish. >> i think what will be fantastic to see for the trump campaign, when they are back on their heels a

a short time ago donald trump went "on the record." you. >> hi, greta. >> donald, if you were with the, when we had another shooting much like we had in oregon how would have you responded to it or what's your sort of plan or strategy to stop these shootings? >> well, greta, i would have

she's with donald trump in south carolina at that rally. trump's event just wrapping up, literally seconds ago. how are they reacting to his comments and the controversial comments about george w. bush? >> reporter: well, the folks who brought it up -- some of them brought it up on their own accord. they said they didn't really think that was a fair statement from donald trump. one man even said i don't think george bush could have prevented 9/11 and i don't think donald trump, if he were president, could prevent something like that. but it doesn't seem to be something that's swaying voters one way or another in terms of their feelings. the voters who were undecided who i spoke to were still undecided after those comments, and the folks who were trump supporters were still trump supporters after his remark about 9/11. >> that's interesting. so they don't like it, but it's not changing their vote. did trump try at all to walk back his comments given that voters don't seem to like them? his supporters don't seem to like them. >> trump had a pa

but you saw that mitt romney would not say he would support donald trump. jeb bush is walking away from the idea that he would. a lot of republicans are very scared by the idea of a trump presidency and for good reason. >> have a great week. we'll take a quick break here. a lot more from the political world in the exclusive interview cnn had this morning. ahead, hillary clinton preparing to face a white house or a house, i should say, a house select committee investigating the benghazi attack. >>> and also live from new york, it is bernie sanders. stay with us. i have type 2 diabetes. i started with pills. and now i take a long-acting insulin at night. i take mine in the morning. i was trying to eat right, stay active. but i wasn't reaching my a1c goal anymore. man: my doctor says diabetes changes over time. it gets harder to control blood sugar spikes after i eat and get to goal. my doctor added novolog® at mealtime for additional control. now i know. novolog® is a fast-acting, injectable insulin and it works together with my long-acting insulin. proven eff

don't know if this is a more humble donald trump or trump 2.0, you know this is a long race, and youan't always stay in high gear, i heard him talk about am i am elected -- if i am elected, rather than i will be elected. do you sense, he may have to adjust his fame plan. >> i thought your interview of great, you mentioning that to him he acknowledged that too, he first came out of the gate, he was hit by everyone, he was the a joke, it is not serious, not really running, he was really combating from a whole lot of angles, he is a counter puncher, overtime the summer people have kept him on top, now he realized, you know, i need to be me, there is no need to continue fighting like this, the people for the most part of are on my side. charles: i tell, i found that refreshing thank you. >> stock market had an amazing session, that is one for record book, consider backdrop, with low expectations could doom, gloom, free-fall owl of the gate, dow was down 258, and the board we finished 200 higher, i don't think that the day is a celebration of fed being accommodative, 0% interest rate, 25

for donald trump. ar jeremy, thank you for joining us. >> happy to be with you. >> we should not be surprised by anything that trump says. trump went out of his way to question the religion of dr. ben carson. seventh day adventist, what is going? >> it is clear that this weekend, donald trump decided he will start going after ben carson. this comes after two iowa polls show carson pulling ahead of trump by eight points now. so he is definitely made a serious decision to go after carson. this weekend, that was a bit of a dog whistle to evangelicals. let's remember, carson in september, questioned donald trump's faith. he did so in a much more direct way, although he says that is not what he is doing. he said he realizes where his success comes from. carson calls humility and fear being called into faith. he said trump doesn't have that. carson is pledging not to counter-punch trump. >> the poll shows that you have ben carson in iowa ahead. significantly by ten points. you know, donald trump said he was s

in the latest bloomberg politics survey shows ben carson ahead 28% to donald trump's 19 on top of yesterday'soll with carson ahead by eight. mr. trump is campaigning today in florida where he sat down with the lead's jake tapper. >> surprising news out of iowa where in two polls dr. ben carson pulled ahead, one by eight points and one by nine. what's your message to iowaneni why should they vote for you? >> i was surprised to see it. three nights ago we had 4,000 people and a love fres. i've done well with evangelicals and at the party and everything i don't understand the number. i accept the number. it means i have to work harder in iowa. it's just the same. i'm going to make our country great again and what we have with china, japan, with everybody is just incredible and nobody can do, nobody is going to be able to do what i do in terms of making our country wealthy again so we can do all the things we want to do including the military and vets and taking care of people. i'm going to have to work harder in iowa. i was very surprised to see the numbers. i had a lead that flip-flopped a bit

for one, donald trump is right. >> so we're in first place. everywher everywhere. >> i'm amazed at how he has not resonat resonated. >> i'm not going to scream at people. >> trump is far ahead of the field. >> ben carson is his immediate threat, i don't think he has found that weak spot in carson or he would go after it. >> he is making outrageous comments every day, stop stealing my campaign strategy! >> it would be way funnier if trump won. >> it would be far better for the health of the country if bernie sanders is the next president. >> we have raised $2 million. >> i actually am aroused by him. i like an old jewish guy who is a socialist. that is my type of guy. >> who has better hair? you or donald trump? >> that goes without saying. >> yeah. >> it looks like a map that is finally ready for an old white president again. >> donald trump is tired. he is tired of being made tired by being forced to stand on debate stage just for more than two hours, many observers thought trump looked tired during the last republican debate which lasted thre

donald trump isn't. and i think there was a natural ceiling on donald trump's support.ng the angriest voters out there in the republican party. and there was a lot of real affection for ben carson and his personal story. that's what i kept hearing over and over again. it's his personal story, it's his personal story. i like where he stands on the issues. and i don't think he hurt himself with his "meet the press" interview in talking about abortion in the way he did. because it resonated with those evangelical voters out there. but the other part of it, or the flip side of it was his own personal bearing and character. >> the way that this was i think being described broadly when people saw donald trump's lead slip and saw ben carson starting to move up, first it was just one poll. now it's been four in a row. i think the sort of bottom line that everybody assumed on this was oh, this must be religious voters, this must be a lead that is entirely driven, it must be religious voters like ben carson, donald trump doesn't seem religious enough, and therefore he can't win i

they have to rise above it and marco and ted did. >> dana is going to talk to donald trump i believe. let's see if he talks to reporters. >> mr. trump. mr. trump. >> looks like he's going to talk a little bit down there. see if he comes closer to the microphones a little further down here. john, i mean, this is -- for those who are watching. i mean, all the candidates come to the spin room for a short period of time just to kind of get their point across and get themselves in front of the cameras before taking off. >> they come in and said one or two things to say. some candidates doesn't come and send their senior staff in. >> mr. trump, we're live on cnn. >> what was it like to have a target on you tonight? >> let's listen in. >> i thought it was a really exciting debate. >> mr. trump. >> much better than the hillary debate but i had a good time. >> was it tough not to be the star tonight? >> i don't know what you mean by the star. >> like the focus, like all the questions weren't at you. >> well, it's become very unfair. i think that i did very well. according to all of the online

fiorina, bush, the rest, more good news for donald trump, 36%. at's what he has right now doubling carson support at 18. again, everyone in the rest of the field is in single digits. sarah murray was at the trump event that just ended and joins me now. what's the latest on the ground there? >> reporter: anderson, this is a big room and it's nearly filled. it fits about 5,000. a crowd fired up and when he talked about building a wall around mexico. this turned tense. a crowd of protesters were chanting calling to dub trump and there was a physical altercation between members of the crowd and between some of the protesters. at one point, one of the trump supporters spit in the face of one of the protesters. now, of course, it's not rare to see protesters at campaign vents. we've seen this before. the level of animosity, the level of aggression we saw tonight is a little bit out of the ordinary for an event like this, anderson. >> i understand you caught up with donald trump before the rally to talk about some of the comments he made about russia ear

when hillary clinton landed there she went after the front-runner, donald trump. >> she should be coming here to come up with a contrast with bernie sanders but she immediately went to the trump hotel across from the wynn vegas where the debate will be. she jumped in because she's trying to get labor support. she immediately tried to show i'm the front-runner. i'm going after the republican front-runner. listen. >> some people think mr. trump is entertaining. i don't think it's entertaining when somebody insults immigrant, insults women. it's just unacceptable. when we're here together in solidarity to organize, want to send a message to mr. trump that if you are going to run for president, then you should represent all the people of the united states. >> we have a fox poll hot off the presses that shows if she was matched up with donald trump she would lose badly by double digits. vice president joe biden would actually beat many of these republicans. he's still not in. the white house just told us a moment ago that he is at the white house right now. he's not on plane headed to vegas.

there is a jerk factor with donald trump here. to beat up as you pointed out people with zero in the polls and to mock them and belittle them, i think in the end, trump is insulting american intelligence. >> bob, hillary clinton talked about donald trump today in an exclusive interview with our jake tapper. here it is. >> he has brought his oversized personality and his reality television experience to the highest level of american politics and seems to be getting a very positive response among a large part of the republican electret. so that's up to the republicans. they have to decide if that will be their nominee or not. i have called him out and some of the things he said which i thought were uncalled for, some insults and attacks that he's made on immigrants, women and it's just unacceptable what he let be said about the president. so i'm going to continue to criticize him for going beyond the bounds of what i think is appropriate for anybody running for president. >> bob, how do you think hillary clinton would handle donald t

donald trump is not herman cain. donald trump is not rick santorum.his year donald trump has held the lead for the republican nomination longer than all of those 2012 candidates i just mentioned combined. donald trump has held the lead in every national poll, every single one, dating back to almost the 4th of july, more than 30 straight national polls over a period of more than three months have donald trump holding the lead. donald trump has "sustained a lead for longer than there are days left before voting begins in iowa." that quote from msnbc contributor steve schmidt, who of course ran the john mccain-sarah palin campaign in 2008. steve is quoted making this observation in a new front-page freakout in the conservative "national review" magazine that's titled "the establishment thinks the unthinkable: donald trump could win the nomination." this is the lead of that piece. this is amazing. it started as whispers in hushed corners. could it ever happen? "and now just three months from the iowa caucuses members of the republican establishment are st

if you're donald trump, be donald trump. that's who he is. ben carson we are seeing, not responding and not taking the bait on the personal attacks, is who the man is. the bernie sanders you're seeing is who he is. if you try to play roles, if you try to do acting jobs on the american people, sooner or later, it'll catch up to you. >> i want to stick with you. go ahead, ben. >> it looks awkward when you try to be something you're not. one of the big differences here is bernie sanders sees vulnerabilities in clinton's records and policies. therefore, he attacks the policies. when you see donald trump attack carson on style, i think it's because he realizes, we're very close on policies. i can't attack him per se on direct issues with policy because we are very, very close. i have to remind people that he's boring and dull. i think voters ultimately though, when they go in to vote for somebody, they don't care if you're boring and dull if you have good ideas. >> i want to play what jeb bush said over the weekend about really how unpleasant he f

donald trump or ben carson. here are the results. 60% say donald trump. 40% say dr. ben carson. check this out. this is the best tweeted picture of the day. we have a theme this week. today it is a bunny dressed up as a jack lantern. and never miss my favorite tweeted pic of the day set vr to record "on the record" so you never miss our best tweeted pic of the day we play every night. you can do it like 11:01 each night. but thank you for being with us. see you again tomorrow night right here at 7:00 p.m. eastern. up next the o'reilly factor. do not miss a special late live lineup starting with sean hannity at 10:00 p.m. donald trump and senator ted cruz. good night from new york. ♪ ♪ >>> hi, i'm bill o'reilly. welcome to a fox news political special. for this hour we will replay some of our most compelling interviews with powerful politicians in addition, we will analyze the what the republican con tenders for president must do to win the nomination. so, we begin the special with the guy who knows the field perhaps as well as anyone in the country. bret baier the anchor of "spe

behind and donald trump remains the frontrunner with the backing of 25% of republican primary voters, trump, this is actually his highest level of support in the polls since he entered this 2016 race. carson now gets 22% of the republican vote and marco rubio in third place getting support from 13% of the gop, ted cruz is at 9 pest, up 4% from last month, jeb bush is at 8%, hanging in there. up 1 point from last month and carly fiorina that bounce she had has completely faded, and joining me now, campaign depreciating george hw bush, and spokeswoman for george w bush. mercedes, i want to go to you first. on this poll, it looks like, you know, the notion that donald trump peeked certainly was premature, what are you seeing? >> well, the donald trump has definitely not deflated his support, what you start to see in the poll is that now 59% of republican voters actually see themselves that they can vote from trump and that's up from last month. so definitely having an impact from just continuing his sort of straight forward message, no nonsense talk that he has and i think for carly tha

in iowa donald trump and dr. carson continue to separate themselves from the rest of the field with 24 and 19%. carly fiorina is in third place with 8% followed by jeb bush, ted cruz and marco rubio. as for new hampshire, things are a little tighter in that state. trump still has the top spot with 21%, then carly fiorina continues to gain momentum with 16%. jeb bush has 1 1% followed by marco rubio and ben carson with 10% and clhris christie has 7. it shows dr. ben carson leading donald trump 24 to 17%. a very good sign for dr. carson, but we're going to have to wait until all these other polls come out to see if the trend continues, of course. also tonight hillary clinton's ongoing scandal as they continue to drag her down in the polls. it is starting to show in a potential head-to-head matchup with notable gop candidates. this is where it gets interesting. in new hampshire, hillary clinton would fall to jeb bush by 7 points if they were to square off in a general election. sean, carly fiorina would top clinton

but donald trump is wrong.ichael moore, and it's no wonder that so many democrats are jumping on board, because really, donald trump is sounding more like a very liberal democrat than a republican, and he's really distorting history. i think it's all because jeb bush got so much applause at the last debate when he said that his brother had kept the country safe. >> but congressman king, with all due respect, some analysts who are not michael moore, like our peter bergen, says trump has a point. they say trump in this case -- they both say they don't agree with him on a lot of other stuff, but they say he's right and refer to the presidential daily briefing of august 6th, 2001. the headline was "bin laden determined to strike in the u.s.," then said "fbi information since 1998 indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in new york," in new york. >> right. >> and at the time, ri

donald trump down 12%. this is the reason the republican party is in flux. >> i'm sure the people waiting for donald trump to fade are going to herald this as the beginning of the end. is there any time this is actually the case, though? >> not so much. certainly he's slipping. he's plateaued. he's down in some polls. he still has considerable strength. if you look at the real clear politics average of the polls in iowa, carson has a nine-point lead in iowa, votes first in 96 days. that's good for carson. iowa's history is it picks somebody but then new hampshire and south carolina tend to actually pick the republican nominee. in those states, anderson, trump is plus-16, in new hampshire plus-13. the question is as he drops in the national polls and iowa, will there be an effect in south carolina? we don't see it yet because of carson's strength. to look at the iowa poll, if you look quickly, a new iowa poll has carson at 32%. trump has to make a strategic choice. he's in iowa today. does he keep fighting i

and a new south carolina poll shows donald trump's lead shrinking there. donald trump is at 23%. ben carson right behind him at 19%. now, with the four-point margin of error in that poll, that means they might actually be tied there now. marco rubio is at 9% in that south carolina poll. ted cruz at 8, jeb bush at 7. in iowa tonight, donald trump begged, i mean begged his audience to get his poll numbers up. the rudest candidate in the campaign actually said please. >> a little shake-up in iowa. i don't know what's going on. we fell a little behind in iowa, and some people are saying how can it be? iowa, will you get your numbers up, please? [ applause ] will you get these numbers up? by the way, before i forget, will you get the numbers up, iowa, please? this is ridiculous. i mean, what is my competition? in all fairness, what is my competition? do you think these guys -- i'm not going to say carson. i'm not going to say rubio, who really is way down. i mean, i am second, it's not, like, terrible. but i don't like being second. second is terrible to me. >> iowa, what the hell are

part of ma has changed is helping donald trump and the celebrity-ness of politics is helping donald trump fact we cover news as entertainment and the fact that people used to value things like humility and now we like the braggart. >> keli, it is fine to criticize donald trump and question his policies and how were he has changed which he has acknowledged but so many sundays i have had someone here and they said clearly he is done, he said this, he will implode and it does not happen. >> no, it doesn't. look, the reality is setting in that donald trump is more of a viable candidate than many predicted. i don't think a lot of people are predicting he will win. the prediction where it has shifted is that he is now going to be the pat buchanan of the election cycle which as you recall occupied a significant place in both of the campaigns he ran in 1992 and 1996. that is where the conversation should start shifting which is the mainstream candidate, no republican candidate has won without the support of that family voters, but the conversation has to shift in terms of the voters he is tapping

jeb bush engaging donald trump on the issue of 9/11 and his brother. eve it or not, there's a strategy behind this. people close to jeb as he reported on bloomberg today, they believe that by highlighting trump's lack of credibility as a commander in chief and lack of sort of experience on foreign policy that they can damage him. will it work? doubtful. because he's also associating himself more closely with his brother and relitigating the aftermath of it which is the very unpopular iraq war. >> here's a tidbit that i think will make you look at donald trump a little bit differently. at his rally in richmond, virginia last week he had campaign volunteers on the way in and the way out grabbing people, collecting signatures to get him on the ballot in virginia. that event alone drew about 5,000 people, which is the number you need to get on the ballot. only mitt romney and ron paul did it in 2012 because they were the only campaigns who were organized enough to get them on the ballot. donald trump taking -- >> so he's got a ground game. thank you so much

coming up, donald trump's daughter ivanka, will she campaign for her father. s about growing up trump in an exclusive interview with our very own poppy harlow. can a business have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit? can a business have a soul? can a business be...alive? romantic moments can happen spontaneously, so why pause to take a pill? and why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom? with cialis for daily use, you don't have to plan around either. it's the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction so you can be ready anytime the moment is right. plus cialis treats the frustrating urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach,

the best thing would be if donald trump challenged me. , it's too late, trump has this whole thing in the bag. he doesn't. trump is going to lose. at the end of the day. stuart: donald trump wants joe biden to run. >> right. stuart: to beat up on each other at the run of the election. >> correct. but it doesn't matter what trump wants. the democrats want him to run . stuart: how many people said it doesn't matter about trump and really lost it. >> you just have that smile because you interviewed him right now. that's all this is about. stuart: it was great. >> he's a great interview. stuart: he's entertaining, the man, you're gripped, you listened to it. >> right. but i don't want a clown in the office. stuart: stop it. don't call names. >> i'm not calling him a clow. stuart: you can't call the man a clown. he's leading in all the polls for the last 99 days, won every single national poll. you can't call the man a clown. >> okay. i'll take that back then. he's won every national poll but then you can't say thather y winning if she is, you

and the nhla had praised nbc universal when it severed its ties with donald trump. re appalled that you would enable trump's hateful speech for nothing less than ratings, a ratings ploy, and we ask that you rescind your snl invitation. trump responded earlier today when he was on "fox & friends." >> i'm leading in the polls with hispanics. you look at polls in nevada. i'm leading in the polls with hispanics because i produce jobs, and they know it. i have thousands of hispanics that work for me. my relationship with hispanics is better than those groups. those groups are looking to fund raise. i know all about those groups. >> here with reaction from the washington times charles hurt and the chairman and co-founder of the national hispanic foundation pour the arts, mr. felix sanchez. thanks for being with us. what specifically caused you to write a letter such as this when you say anti-latino comments, what specifically are you referring to? >> well, i think, you know, as we all know trump in his announcement speech referred to mexican immigrants as, you know, rapist

should it be a wake-up call for donald trump campaign? let's ask his policy adviser sam clovis joining us from sioux city. thank you for joining us. we really appreciate it. you take a look at these two polls in 24 hours putting trump down now in second place. some say that's a trend. what does it tell you? >> well, i think if you take a look at the fact we've been leading for more days than there are days to go to the caucus, we've had -- we've came in second in three polls so far in that entire time in the state of iowa. and i've got to commend dr. carson's super pac for all the work they've done on the ground out here. they mounted a very good ground game. they've been at it for two years. this is probably bearing the fruits of that labor. img one of the things, in all due respect to ms. seltzer and her polls, and she does a marvelous job, is that there's still some thought that -- take a look at the sample size. the other thing is, all the people that come to our rallies and the people we're going to turn out for the caucuses are not r
