i want to talk more about this with senior political analyst ron brown, anna nor vavarro, a friend to they call you the dean of demographic analyst. you dig into these numbers. when it comes for support for donald trump, this guy is a billionaire, has a lot of money, yet it's not the money'd folks who love donald trump. >> no, that's right. thank you for that, john. his constituency is very striking. he's competitive with upscale republicans and white-collar republicans but dominant with blue-collar republicans. in this poll today he's 43% of republicans without a college degree. a quinnipiac national poll the other day came out with exactly that 2 to 1 ratio. the cnn poll was a little less, lopsided, but the same divide. you see trump is building a kind of blue collar populist argument. talking about hedge fund managers not paying enough taxes, skepticism about international trade, and above all, deep, deep criticism of immigration and the advocacy of positions on immigration that really no mainstream republican leader has taken. if you take them all in totality. but yet which find s

. >> i think it was at the debate where i decided to steal ron brown stein's notion about who it is.rking in favor of a gop candidate? all this muslim intolerance coming out of some. carly fiorina has been been able to duck some of the scrutiny about her time as the ceo. about this image she points to in planned parenthood as if it must be authentic. some things not coming her way because of this. >> this is allowing carly fiorina really to ride the bump that she got from the cnn debate. she has been able to bat back what ben carson said. that said i think it is temporary. i do think the scrutiny is coming for carly fiorina. and they are going to have to to be prepared for that. your poll numbers go up. people start listening to what you say and people start looking into your background. so if the fiorina campaign is not prepared for that. that is going to be a rude awakeni awakening. >> as i always say. visibility creates vulnerability. >> who said that. >> ron brown stein said that. >> i want to tell you that donald trump is not letting off his carly fiorina criticism. he was on fo
