as we got past the first debate, many suggested that mark rubio was the winning. but mark rubio isn't the person most are talking about. what defines a win in a debate? >> i think there are two things that define a win in a debate. first, the public judges the winners and losers on who is the most aggressive in the debate. who can get their message out, make sure it is communicated clearly and who has a moment of competitive advantage on stage. it was -- i believe the debate will feature more back-to-back arguments can donald trump and carly fiorina or maybe chris christie and rand paul trying to get into it with donald trump. whoever wins those usually is judged to do better in the debate. so you know again mark rubio did have a great debate last time but while he did a great job of pushing his message he needs to get into the fray with the other candidates because debates are a place where audiences have to have a chance to make head-to-head comparisons between the candidates and those come through the exchanges they have with each other. >> interesting. we shou

mark rubio is here with us from the campaign trail.deal looks like a done deal. >> they don't have the vote to pass it but the votes to sustain a veto. i am confidant the majority of house and senate will vote to reject this. this is not a treaty. nothing on this is binding. if i am the president of the united states, we will lift what the president is doing and reimpose sanction and ask congress to increase them with a backed up credible force. >> the votes to override a veto are not there. so in essence this is a done deal, senator. >> it is a done deal with the next 18 months. this is the president deciding to use the national security waiver of the current sanctions on the book and use that to lift sanction on iran. when i am president of the united states, we will reimpose the sanctions and i will ask congress to increase them more and back it up with a creditable military force. donald trump, you are hitting back at him with this comment from trump first: >> a couple people saw me make a speech and got a standing ovation after us

ben carson with 18% in second place and former hewlett-packard ceo carly fiorina tied with mark rubio for third at 9%. they cover the support of half of the gop primary voters. two thirds of those voters, 66%, say they are frustrated with the majority of republicans threatening to block or reverse president obama's agenda. if you listen to talk radio or go on social media, the base is angry at the establishment. >> the establish was going to go away but it will continue. it relates to people not getting ahead or have better things for their children. if the republicans want to win they need to talk about that more. that wasn't an issue, it should have been, wages and economic advances, if the republican party takes that on and they take this angry and frustration and dissatisfaction we are seeing with trump and fiorina and others. >> you hear them talking about the economy but it is not breaking through because they are baited like they were at the last debate with questions about you know code names, silly stuff. >> i don't know why it is. there is nothing to talk about than i am goi

i think the big surprise tomorrow night is you will see zingers against trump from mark rubio. >> on illegal immigration? >> on everything. >> i think everybody at this po somebody who could handle herself. >> i don't know anybody is treating her special or the woman on the stage. >> is he going to insult her again? is he going to say them to that face? >> she said i don't need an apology from the guy. >> she will wait for him to stumble and come in and cleanup >> there is not one person that got trump to back track off a bad statement but she is. i put out a tweet saying you are an entertainer or candidate for president of the united states, make up your mind. the guy is so skin thin and insecure he cannot get it go. >> i actually don't think -- i think he is overconfident. >> because of the insecurity. >> i don't think anybody cares what he says, you know why? because they don't care about carly fiorina's. they get carly in the headlines this way. >> i want to bring up your dark horse. >> kasich! >> only 14 more to go. >> kasich of ohio and how he handled donald trump on the last d

with mark rubio, it is probably a benefit. if you are a marco rubio supporter you don't likely have affinity to donald trump. and where it is difficult with is ted cruz and rand paul. by bashing one or the other it may turn off supporters and make you not want to donate. ted cruz and rand paul can never go wrong bashing boehner or mcconnell but bashing each other could be a problem. >> you say say donald trump is in a space of his own on this. >> i think it is true. if you look at the list of candidates he is targeted with the rhetoric and has a good record for damaging targets. look at jeb bush, he was the frontrunner for a while and his poll numbers have sagged. a number of reports are out saying this donors are worried. rick perry was in the cross hairs of trump and now he is toast. so a question is how well rubio does with fundraising this quarter, if he goes up or becomes the next victim of the trump attack train. >> that is really interesting because trump is self-funding. does that give him more license to say what he wa

if i may so contracts -- crass, as we watch the pope leave -- whether mark cow rubio is turn -- marco rubio is turning the good will from the debates, via what he said about his immigrant condition, into better presidential buzz for him. what do you think? >> sure thing. absolutely not going hurt him. no one is going be to troubled by get something pope magic, and in fact some of the hill papers reported that in the leadup to the pope's coming to capitol hill, they had to actually tell members of congress they weren't supposed to touch the pope or mob him or get in his face because he is so popular and so well loved. so in rubio's case, the fact he had this very -- i don't know -- restrained but seemingly, at least seemed to me, authentic display of emotion, that helps him out. >> how is he doing these days? i know he picked up a little bit in the polls but one thing i learned is that we're seeing the pope take off. i'm told much like the president's plane, even if it's not formally air force one, any plane with the plane with the president is air for one, any plane with the pope it s

beneficiary, carly fiorina, mark cow rubio up from 3% to 11% and trump went down and ben carson went 14%. let's take a closer look at why donald trump is in decline at the moment. here is a big number. 41% tea party support before the debate. just 29% after. that's a big part of the republican base. 32% of white evangelicals, 28% after. something to keep an eye on. support among republican women, carly fiorina surged and had a strong showing and a little among republican men. this is a test in any political campaign, newcomers, politics get adversity and donald trump testing time. we'll see if he can turn it around. >> dr. carson surged to second. why is he slipping to third? >> slip income third place because the other outsider carly fiorina took not only from donald trump the businessman and dr. ben carson, the physician. support fell in half 28% before the debate and many 15% post debate. tea party supporters again cut in half from 21% before to 10% after and slip aid among republican women. you see the consistency. carly fiorina picking up and ben carson and mr. trump going down.

mark: and a lot of the candidates in iowa were down the polls on the public and side and are saying, look at our favorability. the rubiopaign or the walker campaign. is that something they can cling to and say, people like us in iowa? a good you do not have likability factor, you're going to be in trouble. the fact that there are several candidates with very high likability factors, they have to y into out how to parla actual votes. why choose this person that you are not is ginned up about even though you like them. there is a difference between who do you date and who do you marry. right now there are a lot of people you would date.

rubio, 11%. fiorina, also at 11%. she was at hash marks in july.r a lot of republican rivals. that could be what's pushing donald trump to delve into more specifics. that's been a criticism in his campaign, he makes promises but doesn't explain how he will accomplish those things. >> provocative question. let's see if it's answered at the news press conference later this morning. we have ben carson's close friend, armstrong williams, and former reagan white house political director who seems to have a positive perspective when it comes to donald trump. we have good dallas here. i'll start with you, how do you explain dr. ben carson's immedia meteoric rise? now neck and neck with trump? >> i would suggest it's the rise of the outsiders. this is directly related to what's going on with speaker boehner in congress. the american people have had it. they look at donald trump, ben carson, to some degree, looking at carly fiorina, and they want somebody outside of washington and want them there pronto. >> why less trump and more carson in the polls, mr. w

mark: it worked stylistically because he was comfortable. he wasn't a deer in the headlights, he wasn't backpedaling or trying to evade. there are those like walker, rubioush who can learn from him. when they are pressed, they look less comfortable than he did. john: you have to be less sheepish. "yeah man, i did that thing. here is why i did it, let's agree to disagree." that is the only way to go, i think. finally, it wasn't all fireworks in cleveland. here's how one of the most soft-spoken candidates, ben carson, now on the rise in every poll, made it work. ben carson: the most important thing is having a brain and to be able to figure things out and learn them very rapidly.
