dr. krauthammer was saying they know we have challenges and want solutions. voters responded here in iowa. >> what do you make of the fact that looking at the exit polls, or entrance polls, the voter who's decided over the last few days, went and broke for marco rubio, 29%. ted cruz got 24%. donald trump 14%. nobody else put meaningful points on the board. how did he do that? what happened? he just put marco front and center. he tried to meet voters and talked to them and had a fantastic running game on the ground and hundreds and thousands of voter contracts. we knew who voters were and we're the only state, excuse me, the only campaign that is organized in all 50 states. we don't expect this is going to end soon, we're ready for the long haul. we're excited coming out of iowa with a lot of momentum. >> what do you expect is going to happen in new hampshire? trump is up 28 points there. >> well, dr. krauthammer says it's a three person race now. trump, rubio or cruz is going to be the nominee. so when we nominate marco rubio he's going to unite the republica

dr. charles krauthammer, the best selling author of "things that matter." charles, good to see you.f it, trump staying put in new york because of the snowstorm? >> well, it's really the tempest in the snowstorm. there were a lot of criticisms that you can make of trump, and i make just about all of them. but inconsistency on the issue of snow is not one of them. look, if you wanted to be argumentative, you could say look, new hampshire wants retail campaigning. trump wants to campaign from 30,000 feet and airplanes have to land. you can't land in snow, whereas his competitors are down there on the ground, with buses, they're more, if you like, pedestrian form of transport. but look, in the end, trump is still ahead. he has a substantial lead, looks like double digits, as of now. and there is no denying that he's got the best chance. he's likely to win. and what the race is about is all the other candidates are scrambling to come in second and third. >> does it feel a little desperate by some of these other candidates? we got updates on which airports were open and how he could have

dr. charles krauthammer had this observation on "special report" why the former first lady needs to reach effect, this whole sort of the baggage that she carries. on the honesty issue, the spread was 88 points. saddam had a smaller spread than that on honesty and essentially authenticity. and it turns out that it has had a profound effect on democrats, imagine what it would do in the general election. and look, i do think that her advantage on the question of african-american and hispanic constituencies is the only remaining question. if she can hang on to them, she will fend them off. if she -- if that barrier collapses, then she's out. >> some say that there's pressure on president obama now to make it clear like jay carney said on another network, she's his pick and that would help with the african-american community, logic would you lead there. but going back to the republicans what's at stake, south carolina is a different country from new hampshire. steve, you'll back this up. you have a much more conservative community that's going to be the focus of five military bases that are in

dr. charles krauthammer had this observation right here on the channel. >> this is now a three-man race.a cruz campaign, which is sort of austere conservatism. there's the trump campaign, which is a populist, trumpistic because it's idiosyncratic, and you have marco rubio, and establishment and nonestablishment is irrelevant. >> does that accurately depict you, you're the moderate conservative? >> i always reject the labels but i'm as conservative as anyone running for president. but i believe i can grow the conservative movement that's what's important about our candidacy too. i can take the conservative movement to people that are living today the way that i drew -- i grew up. my father and mother lived paycheck to paycheck, i've lived paycheck to paycheck. for us to take our message and convince those who voted for the democrats for 25 years that conservatism is better for them and better for america, that's how we'll grow the conservative movement. and i know i can do that better than anyone else in this race and if we do that, we don't just win this election. i think we win the futu

get some reaction from charles krauthammer, and jeb bush is going to stop by, and we will talk to the rubio he headquarters as well. >>> looking live at the spin room as drg to make his way with the familiar signs following the candidates around. talking with us now is former florida governor jeb bush. governor, thank you for being here. >> thank you, bret. >> your thoughts on tonight. >> well, i was pleased with my performance and the debate. i was only person who went after donald trump the front-running candidate for the republican nomination who is not a conservative and i think that i exposed a lot of flaws in his candidacy. >> you think that you got under his skin? >> and putin -- of course, i did. and that is pretty clear. as i was going to shake his hand, he walked away, and is so i think that i am still under his skin, and that is not the point, but the point is to point out that i was not a serious candidate on the things that you would expect the president to do or to know or to have views on. he is not a conservative for sure, and the more that he talked, the more i think that south carolinians got the sense that he is not a conservative, and

dr. austan goolsbee a democrat. so from the opposing aisle how do you see the debate tonight? do you agree with charles krauthammerggest opportunity and, also, what about the trump factor? let's go with the debate first. >> okay. you know, i think in the debate, when i was in college i use to do debate against ted cruz. he is a very, very good debater. and the world knows that now. so i stilla5x think cruz has got an upside. i thought charles krauthammer was pretty insightful about some of the others and that maybe this is sort of a three way race. the question will be for this debate can these candidates avoid start attacking each other and keep the focus on taking some cheap shots on trump if he is not there to defend himself or will it descend into a scramble. >> i will be shocked with anybody mentioned trump. you said you debated ted cruz. where was that? >> he was at princeton and i was at yale. so we use to do debate pretty much every week. >> did you guys -- so there was an ivy league debate. did you wear short pants and bow ties? >>v% i wish. he sometimes did have a bow tie. >> there you go all right, now
