senator john mccain had this to say earlier today.h. >> well again, i think senator rand paul is divorced from the reality of the nature and the magnitude of the adversary we face. it's called radical islamic terrorists who want to kill americans and anybody who believes anything different is terribly naive. >> joining me now with reaction is 2016 republican presidential candidate kentucky senator rand paul. senator, you were one if not the first to call out the nsa and i was one of the outspoken media figures agreeing with you boy, by the way that wasn't pleasant for me. the courts did say the nsa overstepped its legal authority yet john mccain still wants to take swipes at you. why do you think that's the case? >> you know i just don't think we ought to let fear allow us to forget how important the bill of rights are. the right to a trial by jury is one of the things we're talking about. during world war ii i guess john would remember those times. back in world war ii we incarcerated thousands and thousands of japanese-americans wit

john mccain moments away live on talks with iranians. . and threats by isis prompting a heightened alert in the united states as the pentagon says the terror group is now on the defensive in a e key middle eastern country. general petraeus on that and his sentencing for leaking classified information. >>> plus bill clinton on the defensive about contributions to his family's foundation. our panel on that and the new entrance in the 2016 race as we look ahead o on "sunday morning futures" today. >>> it was a rare bipartisan moment the senate voting to give it a voice over any nuclear deal with the iran. the house could pass it by early next wook. the talks have been hugely controversial. iran is negotiating with the united states and five other world powers to remove crippling sanctions off iran in return for restrictions on its nuclear program. with me now is john mccain, chairman of the senate armed services committee. he's had strong words for the talks going so far as to call secretary of state john kerry delusional. good to see you, se

john mccain doesn't get to decide if you're dangerous. the american court system should. should get your day in court. it begs the question are we going to let senator mccain decide who's dangerous and he just ships them off for life? are we going to go to a system which is the bill of rights where everybody gets their day in court? i'm happy to put my argument against his. >> yeah it just seems an attack. he called you divorced from reality on radical islam. do you want to refute that rebutt that? >> the thing is i think we can stop radical islam, and use the constitution at the same time. think of the two boston bombers, the young brothers that were the bombers in boston. we already had some information about them. we weren't pursuing the information. and think about the person from phoenix just recently. that's where i am right now, that traveled over to texas to commit jihad. we knew about one of them but we weren't following them and pursuing their information. i think we made the haystack so big by searching every americans' records that we're not spending enough tim

i want you to listen to what senator john mccain said earlier foed today. >> first to have the president recognize he was incorrect when he said we're not losing we need to have a robust strategy we need more troops on the ground we need air controllers. we're just referring to air strikes. do you know that 75% of those combat missions return to base without having fired a weapon? it's because we don't have somebody on the ground who can identify a static moving target. and we learned in -- you're going to be talking about the vietnam war later on in this we found in vietnam that if you don't have the right strategy, air power is main mall ininimal in its effect. we need to have air controller, special forces, we need to have those kinds of raids that were so successful into syria. we need to have a strategy. there is no strategy. and anybody that says that there

i'm joined by john mccain.y just announced the meeting with the saudi king friday and now he's not coming. >> well andrea i think it's indicator of lack of confidence that the saudis and others have. i understand two of the six countries that were invited are indeed sending their leaders. because they do not see a way to reach to be satisfied with the situation when it's clear that iranian nuclear deal is number one priority. and this administration feels that they can some how make agreements with iran throughout the region when these countries view iran as a direct threat. that certainly is the case when you look at iranian aggression and four different countries that is destabilize them and given the iranians a lead role. >> isn't it more awkward john kerry was just in a meeting with a king. how did the white house miss the signals the king was not coming? >> i have great respect for john kerry but noticed here in tenner of the senate and secretary of state, he sometimes interprets things as he wants them to

much of the credit for that goes to senator john mccain who for five years was a prisoner of war there. yet it was mccain who went back to vietnam to reconcile with those who had brutally tortured him. so doing he opened the way to restore diplomatic relations and showed us that sometimes forgiveness can be as powerful a force for change any weapon we might possess. america learned hard lessons in vietnam, that may have been one of them. we'll talk about that with some of the reporters who covered that war when we come back. the beast was as long as the boat. for seven hours, we did battle. until i said... you will not beat... meeeeee!!! greg. what should i do with your fish? gary. just put it in the cooler. if you're a fisherman, you tell tales. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance you switch to geico. it's what you do. put the fish in the cooler! here's to the explorers. those diagnosed with cancer who explored their treatment options by getting a comprehensive second opinion at cancer treatment centers of america. call today or go online to

but looking at his political interviews whether it was barack obama or john mccain or that tasteless told about one of sarah palin's kids particularly recently he has not done much to hide his liberal views. >> no. i think -- i mean i think that's been clear for a long time. you know which side of the aisle he came down on. and if it wasn't clear, it certainly became clear with that notorious interview with john mccain in the run-up to the election where john mccain canceled because he said he had to get back to washington but then he appeared on a news program and david letterman sort of called him out, and he was really really hard on john mccain. >> i loved his deal with jay leno for example, but was he also damaged -- a lot of people are singing his praises, and understandably he's had a great career but was he also damaged by having sex with women who worked with him on show. he recently told "the new york times," would have been a good reason to fire me. >> yes. and other people probably would have been fired for something like that. i think dave -- the thing that he did a lot

>> well, look, i have a lot of respect for john mccain.e knows this backwards and forward and we often agree on a lot of things. we have to be very careful before we send troops on the ground in any large capacity because quicker than you can blink an eye, we can get sucked into another ground war. we don't want to do that. truth of the matter is that we have to have help from other countries. it can't be the united states doing it alone and getting involved in another ground war. i am in favor of the united states involvement. i think the united states -- we have to stop isis at any cost. they're on the move. no doubt about it. but there are things that we can do. i think we're trying to kind of thread the needle and find that point. it's not easy. you mention ped palmyra. artifacts date back to b.c. isis marches in and destroys all kinds of cultural relics of cultures that preceded islam and we're afraid they're going to do that. >> they are also killing people. >> yes. of course. but it's not an either/or situation. we have to care abou

john mccain says the u.s.ds, quote, boots on the ground. >>> a local veteran wants a permanent memorial that many historians say changed the course of world war ii. they want a memorial for the battle of the bulge. he's getting push back. since this soaks of the city is devoted to the revolutionary war. the project needs federal approval plus $100,000 to fund construction and maintenance. >> they should remember the sacrifices that these guys put up their first baptism of fire going into battle. >> "nbc 10" reached out to stan's congressman bob brady to find out if he would support the project. he's interested to learn more. >>> a proud day for the garden state. many of you know that the "u.s.s. camden" will have a submarine that will bear the same name. this will be the third vessel named "u.s.s. new jersey." . senator bob menendez has been pushing this. >> i suggested that it would be great to finally once again particularly in the submarine class recognize new jersey and its long history. >> the new "u.s.s.

and you know john mccain is the running mate of sarah palin. are aware of that. >> dave was constitutionally incapable of being dishonest on television. to sell something family to sell it. david was dave and could only be dave. like his audit -- idols, he took a step away removed away from everything. there was no character or he was just dave. >> sit down and shut up. >> he was just there, wry knowing, being an actual person in the middle of all the liars haired he was off. he was a bash although liars. he was us. as he grew older, he got a reputation of being mean. but that was it quite right. he just didn't suffer idiots well. you believe dave because you thought dave every night and he never changed. he was always being honest. afterwards he just went home to connecticut and never did any schmoozing. he had nothing in common with those people. this gave him an unexpected gravitas. it allowed him to interrogate politicians in powerful ways. my favorite was when he destroyed rod blagojevich during his bizarre media to her. his disdain is pal

john mccain insists air strikes are not enough we need boots on the ground. ash ton arterkartder disagrees. >> we can give them training and equipment. we obviously can't give them the will to fight. >> reporter: the iraqis have gained ground since isis took ramadi but it's now the size of a small european country. >> we are losing. there is no doubt about it. >> reporter: even democrats worry air strikes alone ant working. >> clearly isis has gained momentum. >> reporter: some worry isis could get a nuclear weapon. >> we don't wait until they get it before we take action. >> reporter: some lawmakers say it's not just a question of military strength. >> we have a lot of work to take the sunni tribes away from isis. >> reporter: complex politics in the middle of a war zone. >> tracie potts in washington thank you. a scare new the pentagon. a tour bus explodes into flames. it happened saturday on i-395. in minutes the back of the bus was fully engulfed in flames but somehow everyone inside the bus made it out safely. no word yet on what caused that fire. today

has endorsed him several sometimes, and he may pick up some of the john mccain infrastructure in southolina, and there was a recent poll that showed 20% were much more likely to vote for lindsay graham in the primary when he gets into this thing. he will be interesting. i don't think he has much of a future in terms of a long hall, but he will add wit. >> we have been tracking water, and california has water shortages, a terrible drought and restrictive measures being imposed by the government, and this is something that gets political and gets to your ideas of how intrusive the government should be in your lives and how much the government should regulate you, and you can touch it in a way you can't touch climate change, necessarily. i am not saying the presidential candidates will debate water policy in 2016, but that may be part of the climate if you will in the next year and a half. >> i bet they do. a big issue out in the west. >> and as poverty becomes major issues in 2016, there's a group called the circle of protection and they are sending a letter to each of the candidates ask

[laughter] and you know john mccain is the running mate of sarah palin.re of that. >> dave was constitutionally incapable of being dishonest on television. to sell something simply to sell it. david was dave and could only be like his idols, he took a step away, removed away from everything. this is why his early career when he was cast in sitcoms looked so ridiculous. there was no character dave could play. he was just dave. >> sit down and shut up. [applause] >> he was just there, wry, knowing, being an actual person in the middle of all the liars and frauds. he was us. he was a shock of actual humanity that exposed the public. as he grew older, he got a reputation of being mean. share famously called him an a-hole on air. -- cher famously called him an a-hole on air. but that was it quite right. he just didn't suffer idiots well. you believe dave because you thought dave every night and he never changed. he was always being honest. afterwards he just went home to connecticut and never did any schmoozing. he had nothing in common with those people. his

. >> no comment from the white house but critics like john mccain are speaking up. >> we need a strategy. there is no strategy. anyone who said there is i would like to see it. >> here is what john bolton had to say: >> i think they are in denial but that is nothing new. they don't want to admit we are in a war. they would rather treat it like a law enforcement matter. their unwillingness to understand the threats we face from isis paralizes them from dealing with this. we are loosing. there is no doubt about it. >> sean i want to get you to draw on your experience and comment on ash carter's words of the iraqis lost their will to fight. >> if they demonstrated they don't have the will to fight, taken off their uniforms and fled. i think it is time to reevaluate the strategy there. >> mccain said there is no strategy but others say we need to change the strategy on the table. what do you think needs to be done? >> that is complicated. but i think john mccain is right. we probably need u.s. advisors arm the kurds and arm the people on the ground.

senator john mccain slammed the president for the city of ramadi failure. he said are we go to light our hair on fire every time there is a setback. preparation for the battle with isis as the gop candidates floating the idea of sending troops into combat into iraq. jeb bush mishandled his questions of his brother's questions in iraq is making the case iraq was better off under his brother. >> isis didn't exist when my brother was president. al qaeda in iraq was wiped out when my brother was president. the surge created a fragile, but stable iraq that the president could have built on. >> reporter: the coast guard graduates yesterday steered clear of the strategy. instead argued that global warming is a threat where isis took root in syria. he will have a chance to answer critics later today. >>> jim, thanks. the most urgent threat posed by isis right now is the ability to recruit fighters online. that assessment from fbi director james comey. isis is now waking up to the idea of malware. >> the threat we faced is morphed. it is invisible to us because the

at least they have -- john mccain was like that. he would do cheap stuff. >> i put them in two categories, the ones who know who they are and are comfortable in it just off camera with you not on camera. they do fear. >> some have an inner voice. is there something in there? a lot of them because they're so business busy, their big problem like a lot of us for a politician it's all about me. it's the big me. >> we're surrounded by me. that's the problem. we talk about parenting. a parent needs to teach humility. people around politicians are afraid to remind them to be humble. >> the nice thing about parenting, like all love you realize your value is in another person, your kids or spouse or whatever it is. the experience can transform people. if you're a politician that's the product. >> david brooks the moral compass of washington. congratulations on the book. good luck with it. that's all for our conversation today. yo

that is john mccain from the denver, colorado area. he found out from some of his friends walking through barnes & noble and he called the publisher and from the publisher he got a hold of me on an e-mail and we had a nice relationship back and forth. he sent me one of his self published books. i also rejuvenated a lot of friendships from vietnam veterans and people from my own battalion after 43 years getting in touch with me. i heard from several people last week. it's really quite interesting. i'm glad my editor talked me into writing the book because it is a book that had to be written. people have to know about it. i think it should be discussed on the high school level to let young men know like henry fleming found out of what war is really like. once you survive it it follows you for the rest of your life for good or bad and for me it is followed me the rest of my life for the good. >> host: in what way? >> guest: i look at life differently. i just came back from cuba on a fulbright insight to learn i got to see what the cuban c

reporter: on capitol hill today, the chairman of the senate armed services committee, republican john mccainas quick to say the fall of ramadi was the result of a flawed strategy. he issued a statement saying, quote: senator graham is calling for more u.s. troops on the ground to train the troops. that's not something right now that the u.s. is considering. tony? >> jamie, what does this say about the fighting ability of these u.s.-trained iraqi forces? and their ability to ultimately retake mosul, which seems six or eight months down the road. >> yeah, quite a ways down the road. so these troops were surrounded for almost a year. the u.s. has been pounding isil positions with air strikes. that's the whole strategy. but if they can't hold ramadi as you said just 70 miles from baghdad it really calls into question the ability to retake mosul. and we're seeing shia militias have moved into the area. they were instrumental in retaking tikrit when that was taken by isil and if it requires that kind of force it really calls into question the 7,000 trained troops already ready to go. >> thank you,

here's what senator john mccain said about it this weekend. >> we need to have a robust strategy we needtroops on the ground we need air controllers. 75% of those combat missions return to base without having fired a weapon. it's because we don't have somebody on the ground who can identify a static moving target. >> juan what about that? pummeling with air strikes is not going to solve the problem but does solving the problem include more americans on the ground there? >> well what senator mccain is talking about would be in addition to the 3,000-plus americans who are now in iraq but they are not being used as forward spotters for air strikes in the way that you've heard him describe just now, shannon. so what he is suggesting is that we put those americans not only in position in terms of the training but to actually get involved in the cot bam and call american air strikes in a more pinpoint manner than is now being done. the problem, i think, with senator mccain's equation is obviously those americans, therefore, would be vulnerable to being attacked injured, killed and the like and

it is his second run after he missed out to john mccain in 2008. john kerry became the first u.s.ecretary of state to visit somalia today. his unannounced visit is a show of support for the government that is trying to defeat al-shabaab militants. secretary kerry says the country is turning around. for more on the significance of the trip i was joined by the deputy director of the africa program at the international crisis group. how significant was it that john stopped in somalia? >> a huge development. it suggests that somalia remains on the u.s. government policy map, and is an indication that secretary kerry recognizes that while al-shabab is on its back foot, it has not been defeated, and they will continue pushing the somali government to push on all military fronts, diplomatic fronts, and etymology good -- and other fronts. katty: the truth of this visit was that john kerry could not leave the airport. that is how insecure somalia is, right? >> al-shabab is a significant threat. the mission in somalia has push them out of most of the urban centers in somalia but they contin

christie is counting on at this point in the 2007-2008 cycle, the consensus was john mccain was deadoke, a spent force. john mccain said i can do the retail politics with town hallno i can do this with town hall meetings. this is exactly chris christie's strength and we're going to see if he can use the smaller states for that. finally, media bore dom should not be counted out of this. there will come a point when they will say wouldn't it be fun to have a story about chris christie's revival? and it may be self-fulfilling. >> we do like to build them up tear them down and then build them up again. there is the republican feel that keeps growing. over the next two days take a look at this. ben carson carla fiora and mike huckabee will make the race. you've still got scott walker you've still got chris christie. we could be well up over a dozen. >> fox news has, i think, the first debate. you'll be busy because i think you'll have a stage filled with more than 10 possibly 12 people. but this is because the republican party right now is fractured, chris, and they're seeking to define t

. >> maybe you heard the big news, john mccain, senator john mccain, republican candidate for president on the program tonight. were you aware of that? yep. but he had to cancel the show because he is suspending his campaign because the economy is exploding. >> so at the last minute, he calls and he says, oh, i can't make it. >> i can't make it. >> i can't make it. and i said, what -- what is the problem? and he said, well, the economy, he said, the economy is about to crater. so we find out today he didn't really leave until this morning. >> didn't go until this morning. >> thank you. >> can i give you an answer? >> please. >> i screwed up. >> i've been away for a while. while i was gone, i had quin up theel bypass surgery on my heart! plus, i got a haircut. ladies and gentlemen, after what i have been through, i am just happy to be wearing clothing that opens in the front. so keep this in mind. you're talking to a dumb guy. so i'm just going to ask you dumb guy questions. >> okay. >> what happened to al qaeda and why does isis seem to hate us more than al qaeda and why does al qaeda h

neil: what do you make of rand paul's argument, he was making a slap at john mccain. >> going at it. neil: right. and then more or less saying, john mccain and others were keen on arming assad's enemies and insurgents. whatever you want to call them. that would have been helping isis in retrospect. >> i believe that's the case. in beginning had, we done it in the beginning who we knew who assad's enemies really were which we did the people in that country didn't like him and wanted to overthrow him. that would have been different. it's morphed into we don't know who the heck's over there. i don't disagree later in the game. we were calling for intervention when they killed 10,000 of theirs. what are they now? 250,000? foreign policy is huge. that void that the president and hillary clinton have left where they've ostracized us and embolden our enemies and i believe and others believe it started in syria when they drew the red line and the president did nothing. you see what's happening with a lot of our allies putin in ukraine and crimea everyone is waiting, and i think what's happen

karen: senator john mccain has called for putting thousands of troops on the ground in iraq. president obama said he will not put troops back in combat there. jummy: a truck company's safety record is under scrutiny after a massive tanker fire in michigan. there it is right there. this massive tanker shut down i- 75. 9000 gallons of unleaded gas burnt after that crash. the company has seven maintenance violations since 2009. the nation's capital is one of the worst cities for drivers. boston takes the top spot according to nerd wallet. the company analyzed the cities. the district comes in second. drivers waste the most time in delays. los angeles, miami, and chicago round out the top five. a weekend drowning is drawing attention to dangerous rip currents. there were more than 130 rescues and one florida county alone. one swimmer drowned at daytona beach in front of an unguarded lifeguard tower. look for a change in watercolor or a line of foam or seaweed to spot a rip current. the best thing to do a swim along with it. alex: you cannot fight it. you just after let it take yo

when you speak to his political confidants, they often bring up the john mccain model from 2008. mccain's campaign was collapsed and revived because of all the town hall meetings where he got his energy back and really convinced some of the flinty voters up there. it is a crowded field and a tough field. as christie continues forward, he'll have the indictment of his former allies looming him and their trials. >> i wonder i mean to that end, nick you could not have more of a sort of dichotomy. more of an opposite feel. hillary clinton basically, much respect to bernie sanders, but in terms of genuine national momentum hillary clinton candidate on the democratic side an then like 5,000 people on the republican side. and i guess i wonder do you think that is a good thing for the republican field? is there not the concern about, you know, the social conservatives are going to have to battle it out with each other, the fiscal conservatives battle it out with each other. on foreign policy there will be a splitting of votes. i wonder if it marginalizes people that have more momentum. >

john mccain said i can do retail politics, particularly in new hampshire with town hall meetings.is is exactly christie's strength and we'll seal if he can use the smaller states for that. media boredom hasn't come out of there. >> we do like to build them up and then tear them down and then build them up again. a republican field is growing. ben carson carly fiorina and mike huckabee will all join the race. juan, what do you make of this field? that's going to make it six. you've still good kasich out there, you've still got jeb bush walker, chris christie -- we could be well up over a dozen. >> i think that's rate. fox news has the first debate. you'll be there. i think you'll have the stage filled with more than 10, possibly 12 people. but this is because the republican party right now is fractured, chris. they're seeking to define themselves. you get people who are libertarian, tea party social conservative evangelical, especially as you go into iowa as the gateway and people from the establishment wall street low taxes. all of that is in play. look when we have these discussi

but he's trying to do something like what john mccain did in 2008 after he was written off for dead.to new hampshire, do a million town hall meetings make the voters of new hampshire, the republicans and independents there, convinced that you are candid you have leadership that the others don't, and bring it back to life. and he is attempting to do that obviously slightly different circumstances than senator john mccain, but the same basic template. >> all right. tapper, we'll look for it and see you at the top of the hour my friend. thank you very much. >>> next the first lady opening up about race. michelle obama telling tuskegee university graduates that she was held to a different standard during the first presidential election. dear stranger, when i booked this trip, my friends said i was crazy. why would i stay in someone else's house? but this morning a city i've never been to felt like one i already knew. i just wanted to thank you for sharing your world with me. it felt like home. airbnb. belong anywhere. you're driving along, having a perfectly nice day, when out of nowhere

and maybe focusing more on new hampshire where his candor his straight talk as john mccain called it,ht endear him to the independent republican voters. he said that's not the case. he's traveling all over. and i do think there is something to be said about him having a good chance of -- at least the best chance of making waves in new hampshire. and there really isn't an airheir in the republican party to the statement. mitt romney not running, he's from neighboring massachusetts. there isn't anybody who's a natural republican fit for new hampshire. in could be a place where he brings his candidacy back. >> what about candor straight talk or people, definitely critic have called him a bully. we talked yesterday about doing the town halls, he'd be doing town halls which, yes, he can excel, but also critics again saying bullyish. how will that persona how would that play outside of the northeast? >> reporter: i don't know how well he'll play outside of the northeast. i have seen him doing town halls. and for most part there isn't that kind of bully thing that you're talking about unless

. >>> the rhetorical sparks flying as john mccain calling josh earnest and idiot discussing the gains. >> the white house reacting to the release of the nearly 300 hillary clinton e-mails during the time she was secretary of state, including documents on the terror attack in benghazi. kevin corke live at a busy day at white house. there was classified information sent to hillary clinton's personal server. is the white house concerned about that? >> honestly it's one of those stories where you listen carefully to what exactly is being said. you are not going to hear them come out and say we are deeply concerned about this. that doesn't play to the political leaning of the current occupant of the white house. here is what they did say. no not yet or no not really. what they did say, they start of described what happened then and why they are not concerned now in broad terms. listen carefully to josh earnest talk about it. >> so it's not uncommon for information previously unclassified to upon later review and based on changing events in the world, be deemed classified. >> reporter: so w

all of this drew the ire of security hawks, including john mccain who said of the filibuster, i'm sures a great revenue raiser. the e-mails are out now and they were out in the 11-hour performance a couple days ago. paul's filibuster also elicited this eye-roll from senator lindsey graham. this morning, senator paul defended himself. >> i think that's an unfair characterization. i think most people who know me and have watched my career would say that if anything i'm very sincere about this issue. i'm proud of the fight and so i think there will always be naysayer and people who want to snatch at you for different reasons. >> so it's not about selling books? >> no i think it's really about to me the bill of rights. >> joining me now is editor-in-chief of "reason" matt welch, eric bates, and david corn. okay matt. so is this in some way shady or unethical to be fundraising off of a filibuster as rand paul did? >> hell, no. if this is the result of cynical fundraising, can we have more of that in washington right now? the vote on the patriot act extension of 215 and the other provisions

christie is counting on because at this point john mccain was dead at this point he was dead, a spent force and john mccain said, no, no, no, i can do retail politics in new hampshire where down hall meetings and this is exactly chris christie's strength and we are going to see if he can use the christie's strength and we're going to see if he can use the smaller stakes for that. finally, there will come a point when they will say, won't it be fun to have a story about chris christie'sst survival and it would be so fulfilling. >> we do like to build them up and then tear them down again and then build them up again. take a look at this. ben carson carly fiorina will all join the race. that's going to make it six and you've got kasich out there and jeb bushak scott walker chris christie. i mean we could be be up to well over a dozen. >> i f think that's right. i think you'll have a stage filled with more than ten, possiblyn 12 people. they are seeking to define themselves so youou get people who are libertarian, socially conservative evangelical, especially as you go into iowa. . >> al

huckabee did win the iowa caucuses in 2008 and was the overall delegate runner-up to john mccain.et's say he has a chance to win the nomination. what is the path? mark: new hampshire becomes a contest in a different lane. win south carolina and as one of the pure southern candidates cleans up and wins a lot of southern primaries. john: it all starts in iowa for him more than any other candidate. if he does not win iowa, he is done. mark: i disagree. the winner of iowa might win with 21%. i don't think he needs to win iowa. if he is alive in the southern primaries, he could win the nomination. john: with a record number of votes eight years ago and then to fill this time, it would gut him. mark: the early states will not matter as much necessarily. how much money you need? 16 candidates buying television time. i don't think television time will matter as much as campaigns go. -- campaign skills. he will star in the debates again. john: you need the money to play the longer. if you don't have the money in the beginning, if he does not win iowa, i don't know where the money would com
