but endorse marco rubio.o maybe tim scott will be the first domino to fall. >> nearly all the republican candidates plan new hampshire stops between christmas and new year's. in years past it's been quiet in new hampshire. but the new hampshire crowd this year why? in part it's because of the widely held view that ted cruz looks pretty solid in iowa and his rivals are looking for a chance to win elsewhere. there's a sense if donald trump loses iowa and his winning brand is called into question there could be a big and sudden resuccessfuling in new hampshire. marco rubio's team knows its candidates snopt leading anywhere and hoping to generate a surge. and take this one as you wish, two veteran new hampshire operatives working for other campaigns says they are seeing signs it may be premature to write off jeb bush. pre-season is over. time to play. thanks for sharing your sunday morning with us. we'll see you in the new year.

will he go after ted cruz and marco rubio? people don't like him. e other is, i think he might go after them on that metadata thing that bush and rubio got after him on. -- hei think it good could go after him on integration as well. ted cruz, as rubio points out, ted cruz is on record for letting undocumented immigrants have legal status. mark: moving on. john: in that new york times cbs national poll, marco rubio is now the clear establishment frontrunner. jeb bush, chris christie, john kasich, all down in a three-way tie a 3%. mark, given that none of these other establishment candidates have managed to establish a national polling presence, which of those three guys, christie, bush, and-- kssic , which of those three guys has a chance to rise and rival marco rubio in the establishment lane if not win the nomination? mark: they've all got a talking point there. john kasich has nothing in iowa. bush and chris christie are best positioned to stop marco rubio in iowa. that could be a big deal. bush's biggest asset is the super pac. my answer right no

you'll be hearing that particularly from marco rubio.we don't know is how trump will attack him. he may go after him on the other kinds of larger questions, are you really qualified, can you get along with anybody in congress and cite his record of basically having developed very few friendships in the senate the short time he's been in the senate. >> there are qualitative policy differences when it comes to ted cruz and some of his opponents. perhaps the nsa could come up. marco rubio and chris christie have talked about ted cruz on that. there's how much to get involved in the middle east. these should be a factor. >> absolutely. these are tough issues to get involved. president obama does not have a strategy for the middle east so, what's their strategy? how can they convince us the u.s. will be in better hands and safer hands and cut off the kind of threat so many people are anxious about today? so in the past, as you well know, ted cruz and marco rubio have both distinguished themselves as smooth debaters, they know their stuff. ted

marco rubio supports amnesty. i oppose citizenship. marco rubio supports citizenship. i oppose legalization. marco rubio support legalization. i opposed to the gang of eight bill. marco rubio authored and led the unsuccessful fight to pass the gang of eight bill. if you go back to when marco rubio was running for senate in florida, he promised the men and women of lorna, he said, i will leave the fight against amnesty. i promised the minimum women of texas the exact same thing. will leavet me, i the fight against amnesty. , everyone had to choose which side of the line they stood on. senator rubio, unfortunately, made the decision not to honor the promises he made to the minute women who elected him. instead he decided to stand with chuck schumer and barack obama and hillary clinton and the big-money interests in tohington and lead the fight pass amnesty. i made the decision to stand with jeff sessions and steve king and the american people, to lead the fight to defeat the rubio-schumer amnesty bill. >> [indiscernible] that is factually incorrect. that statement is fal

marco rubio talks about foreign policy.ut chris christie has this language and toughness and some , of it will be experienced as a u.s. attorney. he did not dominate the field for the union leader endorsement is what he is looking for. a guy who understands the threat and will respond aggressively but has governing experience. john: in the world of the line lion the one eyed man is , king. he can at least make a plausible claim. in the end of a christie is going to succeed it is the temperamental strength. the brawlers, we are talking about that on the show for a while now, but i do think that all these republicans are going to have the same problem when they go up against hillary clinton. she has to deal with the donald trump foreign policy, but in terms of her resume and qualifications and knowledge of the world she is headed , shoulders above all of them. mark: in the end i think national security will sustain them for a while. but eventually they're going to have to talk about something else. it will be fascinating at t

marco rubio. rubio emphasized re-embracing voters. "i like his policy that we are all americans and that we can do anything we want to do just like he is doing if you really want to do it and i agree with that all the way," said former teacher, george c. zeitner. and his lack of criticism towards other candidates took the spotlight. "he spent time talking about what he would do, not how bad the other guys are and i really appreciated that," said financial advisor, dave delapp. rubio answered questions from various topics, but his stance on unifying voters led the rally. "a president of all americans, including the ones that don't vote for me. every single day i will work hard for everyone, even the ones who hate me, even the ones who say nasty things about me on twitter, even the ones who will never vote fo rme no matter what we do because in the end we are all americans," said presidential candidate and florida sen. marco rubio. "senator rubio reminded supporters how critical the caucus is in iowa

there are a lot of establishment people who love marco rubio, who want to put forward theories how marcoo could become the nominee. explain given that map and that math, where does marco rubio win, even if he wins new hampshire? where else could he possibly win? >> i'm not trying to dodge the question, but all republicans don't know what his path is until after iowa or new hampshire. there is expectation if he gets the ticket out of iowa, he moves up to new hampshire. a lot of his fate depends on how long jeb bush wants to stick in this, whether chris christie outperforms in new hampshire. everything i mention is a momentum factor. the trey gowdy endorsement is another one of those. this is somebody who famously and proudly does not get that involved in grassroots machine-building politics, but is behind rubio because his nomination makes the most sense from his perspective rebranding the republican party. rubio needs other people to punch each other out in order for him to fill that role. he is not filling it himself or building the kind of campaign that wins in alabama himself. >> i lo

florida senator marco rubio is in third place.. up four points to 15-percent. and doctor ben carson has fourth place with 11- percent. the republican presidential candidates will face-off in debate this tuesday night in las vegas. cnn has just released the final line-up for the prime-time event. joining the main debate this time.. is new jersey governor chris christie. christie failed to qualify for the fox business debate last month.. but has since seen a resurgence in the polls. kentucky senator rand paul was in danger of not making the cut, but had a stronger showing in a fox news poll released this morning. the other candidates taking the main stage tuesday night -- donald trump, dr. ben carson, texas senator ted cruz., florida senator marco rubio, carly fiorina, former florida governor jeb bush. and ohio governor john kasich. in an interview on "meet the press".. florida senator marco rubio said he thinks donald trump announced his muslim ban proposal in part to re- claim the limelight. rubio said while he thinks it's "offensive and outlandish".. he thinks

john: that is the marco rubio scenario.nderstand why an establishment republican would like marco rubio for that reason. mark: two big questions. how durable are donald trump and ted cruz right now? could one or both of them have a collapse? i don't think so. there are fundamentals in terms of resources, message, following, and delegate strategy is so powerful, i don't think so, but the other question is say that our scenario plays out, could it be at that point that the establishment says, we are betting all on one guy, everybody is getting out, and to heck with momentum. very few delegates have been chosen. we are going to fight on. we will start running favorite sons, if we need to. we will do whatever we need to. i think that is possible, but ted cruz and donald trump are momentum candidates, and they have momentum now, and they know how to take momentum and keep it going. john: they also are two canada's most impervious to turning in debate performances. they are the two most impervious to screwing up in a debate. you

and the contrast of marco rubio, if you're the voter. ant to vote for the rubio guy who is never here. if i have chris christie here saying, i'm here all the time. >> he's our guest just ahead. >> it leads to the question, at least in my mind, what is the strategy here. looking towards the middle of march when you have a bunch of states going off and in two weeks, march 8th. >> waiting for people to leave. >> here's the problem. you have to pick a state. chris christie did that and he picked new hampshire. other people have picked new hampshire, as well. but candidates need to pick a state because you can be everything to everybody or nobody to nobody. and maybe lightning strikes, maybe things go wonderfully for marco. if they do, this is the first time that you don't. again, you know, we talked about this yesterday. i didn't even put up a poll of registered republicans because it doesn't matter because you get red shirt republicans and then you have people who vote in primaries, which is about a third of the registered republicans. and y

and marco rubio just comes across more likeable in his exchanges.smoother, seems to understand when to counterpunch. ted cruz always counterpunches. always aggressive. and i don't think that comes off very well for voters. >> it's interesting, talking about cruz and likability. in past republican debates it's been somewhat popular. >> yeah. >> to perhaps go after the moderator. it's been somewhat popular occasionally to just seize time and take over the moment on stage no matter what the rules. ted cruz tried it last night, and it didn't seem to go over as well. let's play that. >> senator, senator, we're going to get to you. wait your turn. we have two hours to debate. we'll have plenty of time. let hugh ask his question. >> let me explain. >> senator, please. senator, you'll have plenty of opportunity. >> because iran -- >> go ahead, hugh. >> -- has declared war on us. but we shouldn't be toppling regimes that are fighting radical islamic terrorists. >> these are the rules all of you agreed to. hugh, go ahead with your question. >> they were booin

that applies to marco rubio or whoever is the nominee, doesn't it, joe?> there's going to be plenty of that going both ways between whoever the nominees are. both parties are going to be doing that to the nominee on the other side. so i don't think -- you're right that whoever opposes her is going to get hit hard, but the other side of that is whoever's the republican nominee will be hitting hillary just as hard. so i don't think that matters. i do think right now in terms of the primary, though, both of them are being helped by this feud. it's not just trump that's made a little stronger necessarily with gop voters as he goes into these primaries and caucuses, but obviously hillary clinton, the "des moines register," that's in iowa talking to democratic voters there. that's who she's trying to reach right now. and being in a fight with trump helps her as well. so right now it's a win-win for both of them. >> david, wouldn't the argument for trump then be that if you're going to -- the media are going to be all-in for hillary and there's going to be a bar

ben carson and marco rubio are tied at 10%. with escalating verbal attacks on hillary clinton. now, hillary is fighting right back. >> i really deplore the tone of his campaign

marco rubio's rise.eople -- host: trump does not drop. >> i think you'll see him starting to spread his supporters to others in the race. host: is he hurting the party? >> i think when you present a message of hate, you'll have an impact. i think the democrat party wants somebody with fresh ideas, but those ideas cannot make it look like you are opposed to good people. and blanket policies that are based on bad policy, like he has proposed, can make it look like you are against people and that is not good for any party. host: during your campaign in 2014, you reached out to latinos and he talked to me in january saying we need to do something constructive on immigration. it looks like this environment, part due to trump and other factors, it looks like something needs to change. but now it seems like it has vanished. >> it has changed dramatically. you have this coming from different candidates. it has changed dramatically because of global developments, whether that is central america and the crisis of

so it's a very important night, i think, for marco rubio. >> and you're friends with marco rubio. imagining this is what you're expecting out of him. can he deliver? and if he doesn't how much is at stake for him? >> first of all, i think he will deliver. we have not seen one debate debate from marco rubio let. let us not underestimate his debating skills. he's very skillful, he's talented, knows how to connect with an audience. he's witty, humorous, quick, poetic in his rhetoric whereas we see from ted cruz a, you know, kind of a strange dramatic flare. what i see from marco rubio is a, you know, poetic rhetoric. he needs to show that he can land a punch and take a punch, because i think we expect there to be fireworks between the two rookie senators tomorrow on that stage. i also think marco needs to somehow define where he fits in this entire spectrum. i think he's trying to thread the needle. and, you know, not be establishment and also not -- you know, not just be base. he wants to be mr. congeniality, that can get along with everybody. and what he brings to the table, i thin

what has he done in the senate since he's been there and what has marco rubio done? key battle happened in 2013 on immigration, where rubio joined barack obama and chuck schumer and ted cruz fought the amnesty bill and won. >> but there have been inconsistent statements that senator cruz has made on that, and whether it's history, as he said. but i understand where you're coming from. what i want to know is what others in the party are telling you once you came out with this decision? >> well, just to be clear, i'm endorsing rubio as a private individual. >> you said -- >> i'm sorry, i'm endorsing ted cruz. >> i thought you were changing your mind on this show. >> no, i wouldn't change my mind. if the people want an outsider, someone who is consistently conservative and they're ready for -- to break the washington cartel, you can't have a moderate candidate. there's been a lot of backlash since my endorsement, neil. i think that's because i went with the conservative and not the two moderates. >> this happens in a lot of states where someone comes out from a party cap

i don't get the theory that marco rubio has. if i were him i would be going for the establishment vote. mark: it mystifies me, too, particularly because he is scuffing up his brand of being a good guy. let's go on to chris christie. i gave him a b+ last night. i thought he did a good job, as he does in the previous debates. same question given his , performance in the message he is driving now, what is his current theory about how he gets into the finals with trump and cruz? john: he has a very clear geographic theory. it is, do well in new hampshire and do well enough that coming out of new hampshire there are two establishment candidates left. if you has cruz and trump, they can win from that place going forward. i don't know if i think they are right, but that is the theory. that is the theory within christ ie-world. mark: there is another thing with christie. strength is the key thing. christie is coming off, as he has in the past, trying to be the strong guy on national security, to stand up to all these others. i know chri

florida senator marco rubio held a rally also a few hours ago here in las vegas. or mr. trump. rubio in third place behind donald trump. and texas senator ted cruz. trump's lead in the national polls is sure to shape tuesday night's debate. for more on that i spoke to our senior political analyst a hort time ago. either druch is leading by a lot or leading by a little but still leading and continuing his lead nationally. does that change this debate because clearly trump isn't going to soeelf i'mplode. >> i think it's more and more clear, everyone in the republican establishment who thought donald trump was going to implode is looking for plrks plan b. i think plan b is not so much as taking him down as it is invel low pressuring. blue collar, not exclusively but particularly blue collar republicans is not going to go away. the question is though is whether that is a majority and whether someone can consolidate a larger portion of the party against him. that gets more complicated baz we're seeing the potential for the first time in a modern primary era of three-way

marco rubio's feeling on immigration is very clear. republican primary-and-caucus votersing take it into the ballot box in a couple of short months. marco rubio started this fight by locking arms with chuck schumer. there's endless footage of him standing at podiums -- >> now, wait -- >> it's important for us to know that a poison pill in legislation. it means you offer amendments to a bill, trying to expose what you don't like about the bill. and also, to kill it. we don't have marco rubio, chuck schumer, barack obama's law on amnesty, because people like ted cruz stood up against it. mike lee, senator mike lee said -- >> you load up the bill with amendments so that it fails -- >> you want it -- you want it to fail, because you don't want the democrats to have 12 million new voters. >> ruben, here's an important question. i think the voters who are watching right now, hispanic voters and non-hispanics want to know. on one side of the debate you have donald trump, very strong against illegal immigration, reform, whatever. on the other

erin, look at four polls from four early voting states and you can see the challenge in front of marco rubio. it starts in iowa. here, you have trump and cruz duking it out for the lead. rubio is a distant third. go over to new hampshire. similar situation. rubio is still in a distant third. come down to south carolina and he drops in to fourth place. same thing over here in nevada. he's got some family ties that might help him out here but, still, this is kind of a mess of a first month. and yet he has to try to fashion a winning campaign out of this. how does he do it? first of all, he's going to have to pick up another delegates because, remember, this is proportional to see how he does in the race. his campaign seems to be moving forward, not falling further behind and needs interference with trump. by that i mean, if trump and cruz start duking it out for all of the voters that want an outsider to win, rubio has to appeal to the republican base, which is weary of outsiders like this and seem to be a unifier for the party. if that is the case, if that's his reputation coming out of that

(marco rubio/(r) presidential candidate): "we must lead. and be the most powerful nation in the world. we need to begin to act like it, again." there were 13 presidential candidates on stage tonight. but one continues to steal the spotlight. fox5's kevin bolinger joins us now with more on the donald trump closed captioning will resume shortly closed captioning will resume shortly closed captioning closed captioning will resume shortly closed captioning will resume shortly democrats throughout the valley keeping a closed captioning closed captioning throughout the close eye on the republican tonight the democratic party party at the junior senior center. that's where fox five's rachel moore is live with democrats' reaction to the debate. about three dozen voters watched inside -- and throughout the debate you could tell when they paid close attention to whenever a candidate mentioned hillary clinton -- as well as when they talked about national security -- a major issue on the minds of voters right now. neal matzkin, democratic voter: "i thi

republican debate stage that republican establishment would like to see to be the nominee it's marco rubio, who is a sitting senator. if there's one guy they don't want to see other than donald trump it's ted cruz. and now you have an interesting sort of quiet coalescing around rubio, but there is the tacit acknowledgment that nobody can come out and say outright deeply critical things of ted cruz precisely because he's so strong. and come 2016 as johnny isaacson says, they may be on the same ballot. >> i suppose. also ted cruz has a very robust and well-funded super pac sitting in his corner that who knows, they could just go completely nuclear on marco rubio. this is a difficult one. but if he's not going to be a presidential candidate marco rubio should be a pundit because his analysis of what ted cruz is trying to do was spot on. the inclusion of that word "intend to" was very -- or those two words is very, very telling. i mean, ted cruz is no dummy. he realizes that he needs, if he wins this thing in the primary to shift his focus on immigration in the general election. and that's the

marco rubio let's talk about marco rubio. how long can he wait to win? >> what is his pathway?t's a big question you've heard from donors in states like iowa and new hampshire and south carolina. what is the map going forward? i think one of the most interesting things happening is marco rubio locked up the biggest prominent donors you can get. he's telling them something about the pathway forward. if you look at the polling and look where delegates are coming from there's no clear pathway forward. it stay under the radar and when people hear his personal story they'll come to him. if you finish in the top two or three in iowa or new hampshire you can maybe parlay that into sticking going forward. that said again you talk to people on the ground in new hampshire and saying what is the strategy here? where does he go? there's a real chance he's not top two or three in new hampshire. >> very possible. one important fact to keep in mind. the modern history of the gop nominee process. no nominee has gotten the nomination in iowa or new hampshire. can rubio change history and go ove

if marco rubio can convince some of the republican base that ted cruz no different than the washington politicians he claims to hate more than anyone else in the race, then rubio feels that he's getting somewhere. but i would go back -- this is to add on to something david was saying. the worry that you're rubio that you're everyone fall-back date. he can be extraordinarily popular coming second or third everywhere. i think that is my sense talking to people over the last week is that the rubio campaign now seized by this concern. >> dickerson: what is rubio's path? i spent some time this week talking to folks in iowa they thought, it's not happening here, at the time cruz is on the for marco rubio. >> it is hard to find. iowa is not his best state by far. now. donald trump stands above everybody else but that stage is in flux, you can see from the new polling numbers that you all have this morning. how much dynamism there is in that race. particularly good for rubio. there some are rubio people who think it ultimately could be. as we've talked before of the first four states nevada is

what are two issue differences between you and marco rubio? mr. : it is the way you actually get things done. let's look at the spending bill that got passed in congress. senator rubio said he was opposed to it, yet he did not show up. mark: i'm asking about position differences you think are significant, rather than process things. mr. christie: this is an important position. you say you oppose spending but you do nothing about it. mark: almost nobody is hitting cruz or trump at this point, so the question is why is the guy in third place -- why is he in the proverbial barrel and is there any way this is good for rubio? megan: first of all, that poll ran video is pretty funny. i think it is clear because he has the path to the nomination outside of the early states. if you are a chris christie or jeb bush, you want to knock down the establishment choice right now because you see if he can put in a credible showing in iowa and teeter along, once we get to florida, he may be able to lock up the states others have left behind. he is being able to do

show non, cruz has reservations in going after his fellow senator. >> i like marco rubio, he is a friendf mine, he is a good the new his campaign, york times just reported that the campaign is nervous because polling came out this week, that has the rubio campaign very concerned. what they are doing is, number one, launching false attack ads, and two, they want to change the subject. marco rubio joined with chuck schumer and barack obama in proposing a massive amnesty plan that included giving barack obama more of already to allow in -- more authority to allow in syrian refugees with no background checks. that is a real problem given the threat of isis, so of course they will try to attack. john: mark, we have talked about the importance of this cruz /rubio rivalry in the past. who has the upper hand? mark: rubio no doubt has upper hand, but if you look at fundraising and electoral support, position in the polls, cruz has more momentum right now, and he is putting himself on the national security stuff. rubio picks up support of a big republican -- but i think right now cruz has the uppe

and if you believe that lane has got to consolidate, ted cruz has to deal with donald trump read marco rubioight now is running roughshod. mark: rubio and his team are showing a toughness and discipline on staying on cruz. why go after cruz? it is tough this and trying to do the contrast. alright. when we come back, we will break down the demographics and other info from that new poll on obama on donald trump's proposal. what they reveal about trump, after this. ♪ mark: more now on our new poll on donald trump. joining us from washington, the managing partner at purple strategies. doug, the headline we talked about at the beginning of the show, 2/3 of republicans approve of what he is proposing. what strikes you as a significant? doug: what strikes me is that not only did 2/3 support it, but when we give them both sides you find that the support is robust, meeting that deep down there are a lot of people who favor this on republican side. john: doug, when you look at the cross-tasks, educational breakdowns, age breakdowns, was there anything that popped out that you want to talk about? doug:

it's absolutely marco rubio. e reason i say he's playing short and long, rubio is staking a position on immigration that is palatable. strong on border security -- >> you just said something that i think -- nobody wants to be the gop establishment candidate right now. you just said the gop -- >> real quick, the gop wants marco rubio. if i'm marco rubio -- >> no, i did not say that. i didn't say that. i didn't say that. i said the original tea party candidate. >> you said they want to win the white house, right? >> i said they want to -- no. listen. the base still wants to win. while they have concerns they want to deal with in the primary, they are still looking ahead to the primary. who is more electable? rubio's position of tough on border security, reforming immigration but also dealing with the -- no. but ted cruz is changing his position on legalization. >> that's the biggest difference between rubio and cruz. that's his biggest vulnerability. you're the guy that was weak on immigration and the gang of eight.

senator marco rubio and retired neurosurgeon ben carson tied for 12% each.enator posting a new tweet with another maniac video clip, this time is from 1995 movie tommy boy. >> i'm a maniac, maniac. and i'm dancing like i've never danced before. >> cheryl: okay, that was chris farley, so funny. this comes after tweet. make sure to tune in for the second box business republican debate on the fox business network all maniacs are welcome to watch. >> nicole: homeland security department applying to scrutinize social media postas part of visa application process. the wall street journal says it's part of new focus on the use of social media followed the san bernardino massacre. malik passed three backgrounds despite social media post. republican marco rubio criticizing the government. >> it's not an issue of pr ceses. it's an issue of information. there's just not enough information about people coming from syria. there was information available and we didn't look at it because of some policy to be politically incollect. that's unacceptable in the time of war. >>

we have senator marco rubio appearing with republican congressman from south carolina, trey gowdy whoced his endorsement of rubio's campaign. joining me on the campaign and whether gowdy can give rubio any kind of boost he needs, former sweep writer and democratic strategist for vice president joe biden is. matthew shipman. they're considered on sort of the outside-inside fringes of elite of d.c. does this matter from your sort of democratic sort -- point of view and prism you look? >> it matters for rubio. he has to figure out how to win one of these first few states. south carolina and nevada are his chances not iowa or new hampshire. any help he can get in south carolina is beneficial. the problem for rubio he may not win any of those states. if he doesn't win any and doesn't have momentum and momentum is with trump or cruz he may already be dead in the water. the momentum is with trump, cruz and rubio, has to figure out a way to blunt the momentum. liz: seems like rubio, you say he has to win one of these two is the guy to beat up on at the moment. jeb bush is coming out with an a

marco rubio sports amnesty. i oppose scitizenship. marco rubio supports it. i opposed the gang of eight bill. marco rubio supported the bill. marco rubio promised the men and women in florida if you elect me i would lead the fight against amnesty. in texas, i promised the men and women in texas the same thing. i said if you elect me i would lead the fight against amnesty. in 2008, everyone had to chose the line they stood on. senator rubio made the decision not to stand by the promise he made to the men and women that elected him. instead he stood by barack obama and the big money in washington and lead the fight to amnesty. i made a different decision. i made the decision to stand with jeff sessions, steve king, and lead the fight to defeat the bill. >> at the time you said you supported what you were pushing because it would legalize -- >> that is factually incorrect. that statement is false. back in 2013, the rubio campaign believed it would benefit them politically if they broke their promises to the florida voters and pushed amnesty. it was because they
