meeting with donald trump.k they should have met with him? >> well, look, i think the fact that this was a production that was sold initially as donald trump would be endorsed today by hundred hundreds of african-american pastors and suddenly became a thing without a press conference, with a closed door meeting, you know, it really is indicative of the fact that i think the trump people got away ahead of their skis with these folks and i think that, you know, look, i'm all for any candidate talking to groups, no matter what language they speak, no matter what demographic group they come from. the fact of the matter is, though, in cold political terms, i don't think donald trump got out of this today what they expected to get out of and it certainly what they sold on the front end of it. >> so we had two pasters on that said they would personally endorse him. there was another one who was on earlier saying he would endorse donald trump, as well. and these people have -- you know, some of them have big congregati

is it everyone versus donald trump or is it donald trump/ted cruz versus everyone else?ore likely it's going to be everybody against ted cruz. when all these other campaigns look at putting together their strategy for a debate like this, they'll look at the trend line in the polls. so who is going up and are they a threat? i think many of these campaigns will take a look at cruz as their best chance to start to draw contrast. >> hugh, what do you want to hear the candidates answer? >> i want to hear their authentic answers to the coincidence that are posed. i do not want to hear talking points. >> it's the christmas dinner debate. they're going to be talking about that and everyone wants to be the most viral person not named trump. >> i think authenticity is very important in getting people off their talking points. you have to answer the question during a debate and do what donald trump is doing now and that is reaching the people authentically. thank you, gentlemen. >>> coming up, the rise of ted cruz. is he trump's toughest challenger so far and will they go head to h

>> it is a strong rebum of donald trump's policy. lked about the muslim members of the house of representatives. but he's being criticized for not going so far as to say he wouldn't support trump if trump was the nominee. he's got a pretty strong prohibition on that as a member of the official republican convention. he's the head of the presidential trust for republicans. if you remember speaker of the house then nancy pelosi refused to endorse in the democratic primary 2008, even though she was helping barack obama for pretty much the same reason. if you're running the convention and part of the running convention you got to stay neutral. >> that's why tipton had endorsement between carter and ted kennedy. thank you to the roundtable. there's nothing wrong with designer stubble. thank you. >>> when we return, let me finish with this line, this line that trump has clearly crossed now about banning people because of their religion. you're watching "hardball, the place for politics. epic plays! epic comebacks! and now epic meatz! i love

less than 24 hours later, donald trump went the other way. >> we can be politically correct or stupid. it will get worse and worse. >> as dramatic about trump's rhetoric may seem. in this campaign, the ex-ploy takes of fear has been growing. >> i want surveillance of certain mosques, if that's okay. i wants surveillance. >> do you know what, we had this before. we'll have it again. >> i would not advocate that we put a muslim in charge of the that. >> reporter: some point out in the early context the sentiment could be beneficial. >> particularly in states like iowa and south carolina, where you have a lot of white evangelical christians, a lot of those voters are likely to be among the voters suspicious of islam, not just as - you know, not sufficient islamic terrorists, but the religion as a whole. >> after 9/11, the bush administration sold america on a war against iraq by warning of attacks in the u.s. homeland involving weapons of maz destruction. >> we cannot wait tore the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mush video room cloud. >> democrat hillary cl

all right, sara murray there, thank you so much with donald trump. joining me now we have a trump supporter and news director for the tea party news network. scottie, thanks so much for being with us. i know you as a trump supporter have been watching the polls. they're so important to him. he's really taken aim at his former friend, i guess you could say, ted cruz. he says he doesn't think he's qualified to be president because he doesn't have the right temperament or judgment. but is this really a response just to the polls? he's seen ted cruz really creeping up on him in iowa which is such an important place. >> no. because i think if trump wanted to take and really take hard aim at cruz, i think he would hit a little harder than saying just these lines. i don't think we're seeing punches between these two. i think these two are still -- the bromance is still going on, the supporter base is still basically the same. we're going to see that tomorrow night. i'm not expecting to see claws come out after each other. rather i see people like cruz and ru

trump mania. >> donald j. trump is calling and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. country's representatives can figure out on. the hell is going don't worry about profiling. i promise, i will defend you profiling! >> are you a bigot? >> not at all. probably the least of anybody you've ever met. >> he steals headlines from other candidates who long for the attention. >> donald trump always plays on everyone's worst instincts and saying we're not going to let a single muslim in this country is a dangerous aboutaction in it's not the blow hards out there just saying stuff. not's not a program, that's a plan. >> he steals headlines from the president in we cannot turn by letting another, this fight be defined as a war islam. america and that too is what groups like isil want. >> and he's thrown his own party into a pre-primary tizzy. >> this is not conservatism. yesterday isosed not what this party stands for. and more importantly, it's not this country stands for. >> but is there more at work

i like donald trump. a lot of our friends here have encouraged me to criticize and attack donald trump. i'm not interested in doing so but i believe we need a plan that is focused on the direct threat and the threat we're facing is radical islamic terrorism. that's why i've introduced legislation focused on suspending for four years, putting on suspension a moratorium, where i.s.i.l. controls territory because that's the challenge we're facing. >> that's not exactly sharp criticism. keep in mind, crufers was ahead of trump 24% to 19. did the poll motivate trump to make his headline grabbing proposal about banning muslims? we should note that trump still is ten points ahead of cruz. but that suffolk university poll was taken and released before trump's statement about muslims. the big question whether trump suffers or benefits from cruz's statements, can cruz capitalize on the outrage that trump ignited. we will look at how ted cruz is trying to walk that fine line in a moment. but no matter what happens,

donald trump stands in his rhetoric against muslims. once again, donald trump is in the news again and this time it's his outrageous comment about a shut down of muslims entering america changing the demmeics rate. if you woke up from a 24 hour nap, this is what he said reading from his own press release >> donald trump is calling for a total and complete shut down of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on >>> now, donald trump's press release says "there is great hatred towards american". few says it cannot identify the report he is researching. our countries did find concern muslims concerned westerners as immoral, but there's no hatred mentioned. 25% of the polls agree that violence against muslims in united states is justified in accordance with jihad. it has been criticised which studies islam aphobia. it called the poll deeply flawed with a history of fear monday angering about islam and muslims. house speaker paul ryan is amongst republicans criticising dona

donald trump is terrific, #deal with it. katy tur joins me now from des moines. o trump's going to attack today, could be you or me, could be ted cruz, could be "the new york times." who knows. i assume cruz doing what he did probably gave a little bit of a heisman to trump today, no? >> maybe. we've heard cruz say in the past he doesn't think donald trump will be president. we've asked him, and he has always said he thinks cruz is a wonderful person. this is as far as we've seen him go against tom cruise -- ted cruz. saying that he needs to say what he says to his bosses out publicly. that was a not so veiled critici criticism. while donald trump is not taking money from donors. but he's adamant when he says he doesn't like to attack first, even though he often does attack first. i do feel like in this instant, he's going to wait for ted cruz to come out firing against him, so he can really unload. and what are those attacks going to be? i imagine they're going to be fund raising. i also think we'll see something about winning and losing, two of donald trump's fa

why can donald trump get away with it that cruz and rubio can't? trump is running as somebody who has no experience. cruz and rubio are running as senators. they have to back that up with specific specific proposals. and they have records. when they say i think this people can check that with the way they have voted. >> as we look at national security, surely this is something that will be in marco rubio's wheelhouse. he's been consistent of over the last couple of years. so why is it that more republican voters trust donald trump on national security than someone like marco rubio? >> there's always been a split inside the republican party between people who ant a assertive, aggressive, mi militaryistic. ted cruz has tried to capture the group of people inside the republican party, less intervention, less wars-now as the war on isis gets worse they're moving back to their previous position, new polls show more republicans than not approve ground troops in the fight against isis for the first time in over a year. is ground is moving toward the marco

and the fact is that what donald trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president, and pfor the republican candidates for president to stand by their pledge to support mr. trump, that in and of itself is disqualifying. >> and white house press secretary josh earnest, and this is what other prominent political figures are saying. democrat hillary clinton says that what trump said is reprehensible and divisive and tweeted love trump's hate. and jeb bush said that he is unhinged and chris christie says that this is something that people say when they have no experience and don't know what they are talking about, but lindsey graham may have gone the furthest with his response. >> and you know how you make america great again? you tell donald trump to go to hell. >> and the highest ranking republican in congress, paul ryan who does not comment on the presidential campaigns broke his silence this morning. >> normally, i do not comment on what is going on in the presidential election, but i will take an exception today. this is not conservativism, and what was proposed yesterd

he had a new attack on donald trump. he sat down with the editorial board of the general review newspaper. bush said trump exploits voters disgust with washington for his own political advantage. >> he is not a serious person. he is a masterful politician. he, as i described it, he uses dog whistle language to divide the country. i cannot imagine donald trump becoming president because he would never win. he would never win. hillary clinton would clean him. >> all right. what about carly fiorina? she had some strong debate performances early on. she, too, has slipped in polling. she has a couple of events here in nevada around this debate. then she heads to another swing through iowa this weekend. that makes the eighth weekend in a row she campaigned in iowa. she is polling 2% there. all of the action is tonight. i'm looking at the screen. 13 hours, 22 minutes and 4 seconds in the venetian theater. undercard at 6:00 p.m. the main stage action at 8:30 eastern time. it is only here on cnn. as we said, this is the final repu

this is "mtp daily" and it starts right now. >> and we start with donald trump saying that it's time to block all muslims from entering the united states. in a statement within the last hour, trump justified this severe proposal, saying, quote, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in jihad. but the extreme rhetoric that servesas trump's hallmark may be wearing on voters. he just tweeted. just put out a very important policy statement on the extraordinary influx of hatred and danger coming into our country. our new msnbc telemundo maris poll said that 58% of americans say they think donald trump is hurting the republican party's image. only 24% believe that he's helping it. and when matched up against democratic front-runner hillary clinton, trump loses to her in our poll by 11 points. however, trump does get high marks from republican leaning voters who believe that he is the best candidate to handle terror. but also, according to our new poll and we should note, this was taken after the paris attack and during the colorado shooting, but

trump: donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. fernando: donald trump's recent shutdown of muslims entering the u.s." drew swift condemnation from both sides of the aisle. the question is, what impact will his comments have on the election? will they have long-term implications for the republican party? the democratic response is largely predictable, so i asked republican strategist john feehery. fernando: tell me a little bit about the state of the race right now. donald trump is leading in most polls. it looks like his lead is solid at least for the last few months. how do you see the race? john: well, trump has got the simplest messages. he's the best at responding to news events of the day. there's about 20-30% of the republican base that really liked him. no other candidate has been able to consolidate that different base. and i think that trump right now is lead

he dismissed donald trump and then made a case for donald trump. the republicans and democrats have all screwed this up. that is the attitude that is fueling a lot of this. there is this crisis and idea that the elite don't know what they are doing. that isis is running rampant in the middle east and you are at and here at home and in europe. and president obama isn't doing anything. that is why when donald trump calls for a ban on muslims, he can gain ground and some people are willing to air on the side of doing too much. there is this contradiction. there are plenty of people he turns off. the reason he is doing well is there is a lack of confidence in other people. even though this caller doesn't by the donald trump sales pitch, buyoes, in fact, by into -- --o the disbelief that the politicians are doing anything. host: alvin is next on the republican line. what i wanted to talk that the man said he little bit ago that ted cruz got would ban welfare. if they had listened eight years ago, they were going to cut it all out. , he was just like rea

trump: donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country' s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. fernando: donald trump' s recent call for, in his words, "a total shutdown of muslims entering the u.s." drew swift condemnation from both sides of the aisle. the question is, what impact will his comments have on the election? will they have long-term implications for the republican party? largely predictable, so i asked republican strategist john feehery. fernando: tell me a little bit about the state of the race right now. donald trump is leading in most polls. it looks like his lead is solid at least for the last few months. how do you see the race? john: well, trump has got the simplest messages. he' s the best at responding to news events of the day. there' s about 20-30% of the republican base that really liked him. no other candidate has been able to consolidate that different base. and i think that trump right n

cruz is doing well with voters in a lot of cases who also like donald trump. in terms of who these trump supporters are, this is probably the most important divide to look at within the republican party. the college, non-college divide. this splits the republican party in half. half of republicans have college degrees, half of republicans do not have college degrees. look at the different between those two groups. the non-college republican group, trump is absolutely dominating. 46% of the vote. that's nearly 50% in a field of more than ten candidates. that's how strong donald trump is with non-college educated republicans. those are college degrees, a completely different story. a bit of a muddled picture here but donald trump in fourth place with those voters. so that's the big divide but here's the other surprising thing when you ask who donald trump supporters are. think about some of those clips you just played of those trump supporters. we often think of language like that, rhetoric like that and we say, that is the rhetoric of the far right of the republ

all anyone wants to talk about is donald trump. >> donald trump?e one that's like you all losers? >> now hillary clinton and some gop establishment say it has been crossed. >> what he is saying now snaut only shameful and wrong, isrr dangerous. in his latest demand that we not let muslims into our country really plays right into the hands of the terrorist. he is giving them a great propaganda tool. >> joining me now is nbc white house correspondent who covers the clinton campaign. thank you. this seems to be a little late hit here. everybody has attacked trump for what he said about excluding people of the islamic faith from our borders, from airports, by boat. they can't get off. >> clinton campaign would argue that she has been attacking him since he first announced his candidacy. recall the controversial comments about immigrants. she came out with a strong attack back then. we are seeing her really train her sights on him. we saw this almost all hands on approach this week. she attacked him. one of her top aides attacked him. she is a muslim am

we're wait for donald trump's campaign rally to begin in las vegas. we will go to it if it gets interesting. later we're going to have a little trump talk where i try to explain to trump supporters something that their hero is wrong about. ♪ ♪ how else do you think he gets around so fast? take the reins this holiday and get the mercedes-benz you've always wanted during the winter event. hurry, offers end january 4th! >>> donald trump will be speaking to an audience in las vegas soon. we will bring you some of that if he seems to be on the verge of bringing you something newsworthy. but first, my favorite tweets of the weekend. i'm on the other side of almost every kind of issue that smug socialist lawrence takes. he's right on this one. and that same person tweeted, tis the season to buy a desk. the best thing that smug socialist lawrence does. smug socialist, well, he's at least half right about that. those tweets of course are talking about the k.i.n.d. fund, our partnership with unicef, kids in need of desks, and the fact that i've been using this p

ted cruz likes donald trump. and it appears donald trump likes ted cruz. i think they have a rapport but they are in competition for the presidency of the united states. so they're both looking at distinguishing, many ways this could be down to a two-person race. >> here's the trick. is that he can't just look in front of him anymore. i thought one of the things that anderson did brilliantly in the democrat debate, there was a balance who each of the people wheth weren 0 the stage relative to their position. he's going to have trump in front of him, rubio and carson, not necessarily behind but next to him. they're going to come at him. how does he handle that in a way that shows him at his best? he can be nasty? he's smart, intellectual, pressing his points. >> he's a great debater. >> you keep saying -- we're hear from everybody -- he's not going to get into, he's going to be good, he's going to be his best self. >> if it's an attack on substance, we'll participate and clarify the substance andic maing people clear of policy. one of the thing that senator

donald trump: donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.

you'll hear from one of donald trump's top rivals who is telling mr. trump in his own words, go to hell. >>> also, developing a killer couple's dry run. the san bernardino terrorists holding target practice before their rampage. this as we learn much more about when they became radicalized. >>> and a city on edge. a new video surfaces of a man in chicago being tasered inside his jail cell. he later dies in the hospital. the mayor of chicago is now demanding answers from his own police department. ugh! heartburn! no one burns on my watch! try alka-seltzer heartburn reliefchews. they work fast and don't taste chalky. mmm...amazing. i have heartburn. alka-seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. iand quit a lot,t but ended up nowhere. now i use this. the nicoderm cq patch, with unique extended release technology, helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. i want this time to be my last time. that's why i choose nicoderm cq. oh no...

to be more forthright in criticizing and calling out donald trump. you know, if the other republicans running against him will not take him on, hillary clinton will. last week jeb bush was suggesting he would be finally standing up to donald trump and what do we see today? today he's standing with them defending hateful rhetoric against muslim americans. she's not -- hillary clinton is not wired the same way as we pub cans. he thinks he's used to getting away with bullying debate moderators and fellow republican candidates and hillary clinton is not going to back down in the face of his bullying. >> because as you know, he was widely criticized when he suggested he saw on television after 9/11, thousands and thousands of muslims in new jersey cheering and applauding. we went back and looked for the video and couldn't find anything. there were some people applauding. we couldn't find video. he was held accountable for his words and the argument is hillary clinton as you know should be held accountable for her precise words, as well. to that you say? >
