we have to run this bunch out of washington, d.c. we have to rid the earth of them, get them out of there. >> on the democratic side, it's even closer when you look at the actual numbers in the polls. hillary clinton with a three-point lead over bernie sanders in the latest des moines register poll. statistically a tie within the poll's margin of error, that's called a dead heat. the candidates are fanned out across the state. making the last-minute pitch to voters and late into tonight. don't want to miss a moment. you don't want to look back with regret come late tomorrow night. we begin with the republican race. phil mattingly is in des moines. our senior white house correspondent jim acosta is in sioux city, iowa where donald trump is about to speak. jim, i'll start with you, how confident is he about winning iowa? it comes down to turnout. does he think in a state where caucus-going seems to be an inherited thing that people are going to show up for him? >> well that's the million-dollar question. we're finally going to get that

they know she will not only be effective in washington, but she's our best chance to make sure that the white house stays in democratic hands. >> the question is do you believe -- that's bernie sanders saying it's very serious today. do you think this is very serious? >> i'll let senator sanders answer for himself. i was out of doors this weekend in iowa. we've been having events all week. this doesn't come up. what the voters care about is affording health care, affording college, affording child care. i'm not hearing about it from the voters. think they take a lot of other issues much more seriously. >> thank you for being on. >>> coming up in the next hour we'll talk to bernie sanders' campaign manager. >>> all three campaigns in overdrive. knocking on doors, making calls, to nail down votes. performance... ...reimagined. style... ...reinvented. sophistication... ...redefined. introducing the all-new lexus rx and rx hybrid. agile handling. available 12.3-inch navigation screen and panorama glass roof. never has luxury been this expressive. this is the pursuit of perfection. checking

this is the china shop, washington, d.c., they want to send the bull in and break everything. >> if you talk to voters, i talk to a woman when i was in iowa, and she said, she felt that donald trump was crazy. might get us into another world war. but she liked him anyway. as john said, he was a disrupter. it's amazing. a lot of these trump advocators, can make sort of a separation, with all of these things that they don't necessarily -- >> i think donald trump is to religion what ben carson is to foreign policy to a certain degree. he kind of tried to study up to say i love evangelicals, i'm like you. i get you, just the way ben carson -- >> let me wiki them. let me do a little google search. somehow it doesn't on that particular front, it doesn't come across as authentic. we saw it in randy kay's piece. before this voter. >> leading the polls. among evangelicals. >>> a lot more to talk about. we're going to look at a number of things. democratic bat until iowa, by the numbers guide coming up next. can a business have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes f

we have to run this bunch out of washington d.c. we have to rid the earth of them. get them out of there. >> all right. on the democratic side it's even closer when you look at the numbers in the polls. hillary clinton with a 3 point lead over bernie sanders and statistically that's a tie because it's in the poll's margin of error so that's called a dead heat. the candidates are fanned out making their last minute pitch to voters at this hour and late into tonight. they don't want to miss a moment. you don't want to look back with regret. phil is here in des moines and that is where ted cruz will be holding a major rally tonight. our senior white house correspondent is in iowa. that's where donald trump is about to speak live at any moment. how confident is he about winning iowa? the polls show him ahead but it all comes down to turn out. does he think in a state where caucus going is an inherited thing that people are going to show up for him? >> that's the million dollar question and we're going to get that answer tomorrow night. i asked the campaign manager for d

the republicans are going after her because they know she will not only be effective in washington but she's our best chance to make sure that the white house stays in democratic hands. >> but that's bernie sanders saying it's very serious today. i know what he said about not caring about the e-mails but today she is saying it's very serious. do you think this is very serious? >> well, i will let senator sanders answer for himself. i was out this weekend here in iowa. we have been having events all week with thousands of people. this doesn't come up. what the voters here care about is affording health care. affording college. affording child care so i'm not hearing about it from the voters here. i think they take a lot of other issues much more seriously. >> i appreciate you being on. thank you very much. coming up in the next hour we'll talk to bernie sanders campaign manager. just ahead how the top republicans spent their day in iowa. all three campaigns in overdrive knocking on doors, making thousands of calls. doing everything they can to nail down votes. we go inside. could protec

. >> well, you know, we're certainly in a political era now with gridlock in washington where the art of political compromise i think unfortunately has been lost. i do think that the president has to be someone, he or she has to be someone who is an effective negotiator with a good temperament. he or she will have their finger on the nuclear button. and whether or not trump is that person is something not only iowa caucusgoers have to pay attention to but voters in the general election. >> tim o'brien, appreciate you being with us. >> thanks, anderson. >> i want to get the panel's take on this. donald trump has repeatedly said as president, you know, i'll modify myself, i'll change a little bit, i won't be quite so aggressive in my personality. do you think voters believe that? and do you think voters want that? >> sure, i think they believe it. you know, he has built, with all due respect to this gentleman, he has built this enormous business organization, which beyond doubt is successful. can you go through and cher write-pick a failure here or there? sure. of course. you can do tha

the case that she is more electable than bernie sanders and more capable of getting things done in washington. >> if you agree with me that we need to build on the progress we have made, we need to prevent it from being ripped away and undermine by the other party whose views and values are opposed to what i believe, then i hope you will go caucus for me tomorrow night. i hope you will go. i hope you will stand up for me. i hope you will fight for me. i promise you this, i will stand up and fight for you every single day of this campaign and then when we win, i will fight for you in the white house. thank you and god bless you. >> reporter: talking to clinton campaign sources, they feel good about hillary clinton's prosp t prospecting going into caucus day. they are looking at the polls. the consistent few points lead she has in so many of them. that is making them feel good, but they are caucus. they are haunted, many of them in the campaign in 2008, by what happened here in iowa. they went in to caucus and thinking they were going to win and instead, she got a stinging third place defeat. j

>> the calculation is that a lot of people are very upset with washington, d.c. right now. so you are seeing that frustration as it pertains to the votes and what we might see in caucus turnout. we are expecting record numbers. if the weather holds off that is what we are going to get. >> you deserve thanks for your service not in politics but you are a retired iowa national guard. the military matters not just because you serve but you understand it. when you look at your slate who do you think is making the best case for keeping america safe? >> we sought a number of folks. we have friends i serve with in the senate. they have been engaged in those discussions. i think they are great candidates. when i look at our republican ticket and the democratic ticket you will hear republicans talking about issues of foreign policy and keeping our nation safe. i'm not hearing that so much from hillary clinton or bernie sanders. >> it's about who has the best ideas to do something. who is saying something on a gop side different than what we are doing right now. it is easy to say we

and it's not coming right down from washington. i see people lessening up on social issues and other issues as well as immigration. i think it will be interesting to see how young republicans kind of work with this and become the new party. >> the new party. let's pull out how the iowa republican party is trying to cater to you guys. take a look at this. this comes from the website. sort of the front page there. focusing on young voters, young republicans. what do you say to those who argue that focusing on young voters is a wasted effort? they say, look, you guys don't get out to caucus as much. right now you're in college in session. so you're going to caucus in more contained areas rather than all over the state where your homes are. what do you say to them? >> i don't really believe that at all. i think young voters are incredibly important, especially with student loan issues, student debt. there's a ton of issues that pertain to students. the security of the nation and our economy. i think there are going to be a ton at stude

here in washington d.c. 8:00 p.m. in jerusalem. wrer are you watching from around the world, thanks very much for joining us. >> we start in iowa where voters are just hours away from casting the fist votes in the presidential election. the candidates are making a

here in washington d.c. 8:00 p.m. in jerusalem. wrer are you watching from around the world, thanks very much for joining us. >> we start in iowa where voters are just hours away from casting the fist votes in the presidential election. the candidates are making a final push across the state right now with each one trying to get in the last word in their own way. >> hello, iowa. it's great to be here. he will be unbelievable. >> i will always seek to make you proud, that you will always be proud of the fact that you caucused for me. >> i hope you will go. i hope you will stand up for me. i hope you will fight for me. >> together we will win the iowa caucuses. we will win the nomination, and we will win the general election. we will defeat hillary clinton. >> this is a campaign of the people by the people and for the people. >> voter turnout will be the telling statistic today with gatherings in more than 1,600 locations for each party across the state. there's democrats and republicans making the choice. the first choice but not th

that's what we'll see in washington. get everyone together and do things differently. and obamacare's gone with mr. trump. >> i get it, a businessman, not a politician. what we've heard time and time again from team trump. we'll see if it turns into votes at the caucuses tonight in iowa. jeff dewitt, thank you. we're waiting to see donald trump speak to his final pitch to caucusgoers. sarah palin teeing up mr. trump. what are the top three things we should all be watching for this evening? you know what, i have found the best man to answer that. cnn's political director david chaleon is joining meg with that. as we're watching and waiting for trump, let's begin with him, david what are you looking for him tonight? >> this is a question you raised just a couple moments ago. i think it is the question in the last eight months since he got into this race. can he translate huge crowds, leads in the polls, to voters showing up to commit to him when he's not there to be the draw? that to me is a critical question we are going to get answered tonight. i think the answer to it

he wants to change washington. but he never returns it in kind. so i think that speaks to the character of ted cruz. so, look, it's going to be a -- i think it's a two-person race. and i hope to come out on top tonight. we'll see how donald trump reacts to actually losing. we'll see what happens. >> was that the full tyler, rick? >> i guess so. >> all right. the full tyler. rick tyler, thanks very much for joining us. >> appreciate it. >> wolf, the doors open in about 20 minutes for the iowa caucuses. i want to check in with jim sciutto who is at a republican caucus site in greenfield, iowa. what is happening there, jim? >> how you doing, anderson? we're at valley high school, the southwestern corner of iowa. it is rural. it is agricultural. corn is king, they say here there is also a strong evangelical streak here which would seem to break in favor of a ted cruz, perhaps a donald trump with a fallwell endorsement. darrell issa who is a surrogate for marco rubio, he has come down to the southwestern corner of the state to speak tonight to try to p

he's going to come to washington, d.c. and he's going to do that because the national prayer breakfast is on thursday. that's where he got himself on the political map attending that prayer breakfast and giving it to president obama at the time. he became a hero among conservatives and evangelicals especially. >> very unusual. >> very unusual. >> to be announcing you're going to go home to rest for a few days, not going on to the next site. he's going to be coming out and speaking at 9:15 local and 10:15 eastern to go home and get ahead of the storm. >> if you want to be president of the united states, you don't go home to florida. that's bottom line. if you want to signal to your supporters that you want it, that you're hungry for it, you've got to be out there doing it too. he's not doing it. it's very unusual. >> very unusual news that cnn has just learned. chris moody breaking the story. wolf, back to you in washington. >> very significant. we're standing by right at the top of the hour for the first time. we're going

let's go to wolf blitzer in washington. >> we are watching. ted cruz maintaining the lead over donald trump and marco rubio with an impressive 30 and ben carson fourth with 10%. only 7% of the republican caucus sites. 25% of the caucus sites reporting and maintaining her lead. 53% to 47% for bernie sanders. not doing so well. uncommitted the same number. hillary clinton doing well so far. about a quarter of that vote now in on the democratic side. let's go back to jake and dana for more. >> thanks, wolf. >> in our own jeff, he is in des moines at sanders's campaign headquarters. we just spoke with him. what did he have to say? >> weus

let's go back to wolf in washington. >> our political directors, you are looking at all the numbers. who showed up and what they won. >> he asked the voters as they showed up, what are you looking for in a candidate quality. this will help explain to everyone watching why ted cruz is where he is. take a look at this. among the voters that said i am looking for a candidate who shares my values, ted cruz is demolishing the field. 37% for cruz and 21% for rubio and 16% for carson and 7% for paul. that is 41% of the republican electorate. that was an important quality. when we asked about the quality of someone who can win, the electability question. rubio and 25% for trump and 22% for cruz and 2% for carly fiorina. not as many caucus goers looking for electability as for someone who shares their values. this quality, telling it like it is, that is the donald trump thing. that is what he is campaigning on. 67% of voters looking for a candidate who said i want someone who tells it like it is. only 15% of the republican caucus going electorate is looking for that quality. with four oust te

anderson back to you in washington. >> we'll see more people turning out in the last few hours. what do you think -- >> why are you smiling? >> it's not just because i work for ted cruz. i feel like we finally found a conservative who can win. look at what ted cruz faced in this election. not only was he competing with donald trump. on his birther issue, on his evangelical faith. he was being attacked fiercely by the republican party. you had all of these gop king makers of the past saying he could never win. don't he did it. i don't think this is a win for ted cruz, this is a conservative product, they sought a leader who can stand for conservative principal, this may be the beginning of something much bigger, this is a great night for conservatives. >> how concerned were you when you heard there was record turnout on the gop side. all night long, so many people have been saying record turnout is going to break in donald trump's favor. hillary clinton 49.9%. bernie sanders 49.4%. with 84% of the vote now. so that race is tightening, it is still anybody's race. an extraordinary

when the washington lobbyists settled on other lobbyists in this race. when the media in one voice said a conservative cannot win, nationwide over 800,000 contributions poured in to tedcruz.org as courageous conservatives said, yes, we can. 800,000 contributions at tedcruz.org with an average contribution of $67. that is the power of the grassroots. but it's more than that. it's 12,000 volunteers here in the state of iowa. it's over 200,000 volunteers all across this great nation. you know, during the course of this campaign people have asked heidi and me are you tired? and i will admit it is 16, 18 hours a day, 6, 7 days a week. we are not tired at all. ♪ >> to the contrary, we are inspehred by each and every one of you. i leap out of bed every morning amazed that at a time when our country is in crisis, every one of us has the opportunity to stand and lead, that we have been put in a place of leadership. for such a time as this. >> all right, we're going to breakaway from ted cruz. there you see, hillary clinton and her husband and daughter. she's ab

wolf blitzer, back to you in washington. >> it's amazing how close it's been among the democrats. almost all of the votes now in -- what, 49.9% for hillary clinton. 49.6% for bernie sanders. i want to go back to jeff zeleny quickly. jeff, you're there with one of bernie sanders' top advisers. >> wolf, that's right. i'm joined by jeff weaver, the campaign manager for senator sanders. jeff, what do you make of what is still remaining out there? and are you satisfied with all the information you've gotten about this? >> well, look, there's still some of the vote out. it's very, very tight. who knows whether one of us or the other will be a couple delegates up or a couple delegates down? but this is a tremendous victory for our campaign tonight. we started in single digits and fought our way up to a tie and maybe a win. so this is really going to be a springboard for us into new hampshire and the states beyond. >> what do you think is the fund-raising possibility of this night? senator sanders raised $20 million in january online. what's your estimate of what this will do? >> well, it

he went on to bash the establishment in washington, the establishment in the media. this is left up to we the people. how much is he thanking the evangelical vote tonight? >> he opened and closed saying, god bless iowa. that was a big message to evangelicals tonight. they propped him up for his win in iowa. he is looking for this support, going forward. especially looking past new hampshire, when the cruz campaign looks for support in south carolina and the southern states. they're going to lean again on evangelicals, very conservative republicans. they want on their side. it's been a big part of the strategy. they've not tried to really appeal to moderate republicans as much. they're going straightforward to the evangelicals. and that seemed to be the message that cruz was sending tonight. >> now, on to new hampshire. sunlen on the ted cruz campaign plane. a terrific report. literally popping champagne onboard as they get ready to take off to new hampshire. >> where is ours? >> we are on for the next 3 1/2 hours. we're going to hear from her when she lands. >> it is

money and the stamina and the fact that you have ted cruz who is not liked by the establishment in washington. you have donald trump who if you add them both together you have over 50% of the vote. not liked by them. how much money do you think goes to marco rubio after today? >> well, i think that is the big decision that establishment candidates or the establishment part of the republican party, the centrist part, if you will, however you want to call it, they have to make a decision if they really want to put their power behind somebody like marco rubio. because if not, then, you know, we're sitting here talking about scenarios for ted cruz to go on longer. for marco rubio to go on longer. i talked about how donald trump is leading in every single other poll and every single other state outside of iowa. that is why those kinds of scenarios, if people don't start getting out and getting out fast and consolidating behind one or two candidates other than trump, i still think trump can actually trump everybody else moving forward. >> and when we come back we'll talk about much more in a second

you have the people speaking up to say they don't want washington to pick their candidates. they want a say. on the democratic side, bernie sanders has shown the people matter and the people can speak up and change the democratic establishment. hopefully that change is going forward and republicans elect someone sane. >> marco rubio won expectations. big win for ted cruz. can he keep that momentum in new hampshire? i'm not sure. hillary clinton may have won, but it would have been groundhog day all over for her in iowa although she won a tiny bit. donald trump is a loser today. >> maria. >> hillary clinton wins becoming the first woman to ever win an iowa caucus. bernie sanders did great. also a win. the democratic party wins. they are focusing on the issues that all americans care about. compared to republicans who will nominate somebody who is anti-woman or anti-latino. >> all right. ben. go. >> i'll say this. donald trump proves arrogance and cockiness does not win you the white house. ted cruz did better than anyone thought. marco rubio is a guy that has a little mo comi

who has the ability to do that kind of work in washington? ted cruz is letting everybody know he by design is not that guy. he's not there to get things done. he's there to stand on principle. and i think that message starts to hurt. but he can certainly occupy that very conservative wing for a while. >> is this a new field today, maeve. is it a more open field? >> it is. i think the race was completely reordered last night in the sense that donald trump has been such the dominant force the entire time. and look how little we've talked about him this morning and somehow he's going to have to come back and prove that he wasn't the loser last night. you have such an opportunity for marco rubio here. ted cruz has a lot to prove. it just once again feels like it is anyone's game. >> great. maeve, mark, david. thanks so much. >> and it could all happen again. in new hampshire you have a new set of players who may bubble up and become relevant, certainly on the gop side. >> getting more and more interesting. >> right? and on the democratic side you

sanders said his strong showing should make people believe that they could send a message to washington. >> it is asking working people and middle class people to stand up and fight for their rights, help us take on a class that who's agreed is doing so much damage to our economy. and 80% of young people didn't vote last election. i'm very proud that we're bringing young people into the process and ree vitalizing american democracy and iffer wire going to change america that is what we got to do. >> more on the sanders campaign. good morning. >> good morning, carol. bernie sanders did get started quite early today here in new hampshire as well. with that stop in beau, new hampshire around 3:00 eastern time. here in keen she's expected to see supporters. this is very much seen as bernie sanders country. in part because of geographically he's from vermont which is a neighboring state. also politically because the state has such a large number of independent voters who are really expected to buy into his arguments of economic inequality, as well as campaign finance reform. my colleague chr

have given up on the political process, they're so dismayed and so frustrated with what goes on in washington with young people before who had never been involved in the political process, when young people and working people and seniors begin to stand up and say loudly and clearly, enough is a enough, when that happens -- >> so this, of course, will determine how this race goes forward. his call for a revolution and her call for democratic activist and regular. the new hampshire primary one week away. so many contests ahead. the clinton campaign is stronger in the contest going forward. south carolina and nevada. before we get to that, we're looking toward iowa to see who won and of course, what happens here in new hampshire. the first clue comes tomorrow at cnn's town meeting then rivals share the same event space. they'll finally start drawing more distinctions with one another for that final week at the new hampshire primary. >> i have to say that town meeting tomorrow night, what about the timing? that will be fascinating. both of them have a lot of work they want to do. when hillary cli

. >> pretty fascinating dynamic in washington. republican strategist alex cost lawn wroe joins us to talk about that. a democratic strategist. she's coming to us live from iowa. scottie, first to you. were you watching that last night? did you see brian todd talking about all those people lining up at the party affiliation switch table and they each had a reason either so that they could thwart donald trump or support donald trump? while you're at it, how does that look for new hampshire? >> well, think with how powerful the statement that is. they're already thinking of strategy for the general election. basically it tells you who they're planning on going up against. i give them credit right now for thinking, okay, we're fwog make sure that donald trump is not the one that goes up against whoever our nominee might be because that's a person that we're scared of. now, new hampshire is a completely different state. they always say, you know, iowa picks corn and new hampshire picks candidates. that's kind of what we have seen in th

. >> i'm wolf blitzer in washington. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. we have breaking news right now. a cnn key race alert. cnn can now report that hillary clinton has won. hillary clinton has won the democratic caucuses in iowa narrowly. very narrowly defeating bernie sanders. bernie sanders comes in second place. an extremely close race. i want to bring in jeff, who is our correspondent. he is covering this. you see what the results there are. these are the results now by the iowa, by the iowa democrats. >> there hadn't been an official announcement in iowa. now there's an official announcement. the iowa democrats, swref, say hillary received 700.59 estate delegate ekwifl i wants. those are representatives that will go to the iowa democratic convention. bernie sanders 696.82 state delegate ekwifl ebt with where's. it's official now. hillary clinton camp can properly declare she won the iowa caucuses. >> she, in fact, did declare a victory. i'm here in in as away, new hampshire,

let's go straight to our chief political analyst gloria borger in washington. so it is officially official, you know, from the scene of iowa, hillary clinton got it, closest of all calls there. your response in terms of how she takes it moves forward? >> she's happier to win than not win, no matter by how small a margin. however, there's a lot of concerns you have to have if you're in the clinton campaign coming out of this small margin of victory. you know, when you look at entrance polls ewere talking about into wee hours last night a few things pop out at me. one is the fact that bernie sanders continued to get those younger voters, including younger women voters. the questions of trust that seem to plague her, and most importantly, i think, this question of who is the candidate that best understands my needs, right? and bernie sanders, by 3-1 margin, beats her on that. and so, i think as you look towards new hampshire, i think she's got to warm herself up a little bit that way in order to compete with him on those issues that really go go to your kind of co

our senior washington correspondent, joe johns, is following the democratic campaign joining us from new hampshire right now. joe, a lot of people say it's all about the expectations game. what's the latest? >> reporter: well, wolf, it was a very, very narrow victory for hillary clinton just a photo finish, but a far cry from the disappointing loss she suffered in the iowa caucuses eight years ago. the bernie sanders campaign was very quick to point out that this victory for the former secretary of state was anything was decisive. >> i am so thrilled that i'm coming to new hampshire after winning iowa. >> reporter: hillary clinton riding high tonight after narrowly edging out bernie sanders by fractions of a percent in the iowa caucuses. >> as i stand here tonight breathing a big sigh of relief, thank you, iowa. >> reporter: the contest was the cosest in iowa democratic caucus history. a race with a margin so razor thin the winner could not be determined until hours ago when the iowa democratic party released final numbers. tonight, when asked if he was prepared to concede the iowa c

i'm saying to myself, what is the biggest problem right now in washington? well, it's clearly the dysfunction in washington, the fact that they don't talk, they don't work together. very rarely does anything get done. the one person who has the independence and can be the change agent to actually get washington working again, it was very clear to me that that was donald trump. >> jeff, an endorsement like that actually moving the needle for him at all in new hampshire at this point? >> no, i don't believe so. i listened to senator smith, whom i met back in the reagan days and have enormous respect for. i'm sure he's going to disagree, but i just think that when you are involved, i mean, he was the -- scott brown was the nominee for the united states senate the last time around, surely he's got some folks in new hampshire that like him. so, yes, i would think. but the more important thing is, like president reagan, who brought in conservatives and moderates together in the party, donald trump, when you've got sarah palin on the one hand and scott brown on the

they would never even consider voting for ted cruz because they want somebody who is going to go to washington and make deals. that is the opposite of the appeal that ted cruz has with the more conservative electorate that is maybe more in south carolina and elsewhere but maybe not so much here in new hampshire. >> by the way, you are in new hampshire, in manchester, so stay there. just wait for a moment, i'm going to bring in a man who might have a crystal ball, the best crystal ball in this business and that's hugh hewitt. it pains me to say this, hugh hewitt -- i'm just kidding. you called it. here's your prediction on sunday. >> ted wins the republicans, trump comes in second but marco rubio is a very close third. >> the polls had trump in the lead. why didn't he win? why were you right? >> i think i was right because of jeb, josh and john, three operative, jeff row, josh perry, john droguan who work for ted cruz who basically owned the internet and owned iowa. i told donald trump two weeks ago i thought ted cruz was going to win iowa and trump will win new hampshire. he has corey, his cam

you're saying people are tired of political correctness and of washington insiders, but do you think they want a candidate who is more traditional and would appear more serious when it comes time to actually go to the poll and voting? >> i don't think that's on anyone as radar. i think every one of those candidates that you just put on the screen could win simply by virtue of the fact they're competed by somebody who might be indicted by the fbi and someone who might be a socialist. i don't think there are serious contenders on the democratic side for them to beat. you saw rubio people saw the most electable and donald trump a lot. donald trump does very, very well among moderate democrats, among union members. this is striking for a republican candidate. i think he would be a formidable general election contender contrary to what some may say. >> we know that donald trump loves to emphasize he is self-funding his campaign. all of us know that. here's what he said tonight. >> i'm probably $40 million under budget because of the fact that frankly i haven't had to spend very much, alth

typical politician. 70% of voters voted for an outsider candidate or someone who has never been in washington. they're tired of politicians. jeb bush says he's tired of politics too, but he's the stereotypical politician, so it's a confusing ad. >> do you think that was effective? >> i think it was very effective. one of the very best i've seen. this has nothing to do with political correctness. what donald trump said about john mccain and p.o.w.s, that's what turned me at that moment. i think this man is unfit. i think he's going to win new hampshire because there isn't enough time to cut into his lead. they're all fighting for second place. but frankly, that stuff isn't going to sell anymore now that voters are looking at these candidates more carefully and more closely. i think the ad is very effective and could cause some problems for donald trump. >> i'm wondering if you're looking at the outcome of iowa -- you saw that ad with jeb bush. the other candidates are saying hey, maybe we can slay the dragon. is it going to make a dent in donald trump's armor? >> the reason the result in iowa

and i don't think the judges and washington can just make law. that is not what they do but they have done as it relates to same-sex manch. in almost every case where same-sex marriage was put to a vote here in north carolina and other places and voted down by the people and it was individualed that overturned the will of the people. i noo a nationwide referendum and let's see what if people say. >> the constitution is often construed to protect the minority even when in the face of majority. appreciate it. there is a lot of coverage going on with our big town hall debate tonight in new hampshire. newsroom with carol costello right after the break. ♪ (vo) making the most out of every mile. that's why i got a subaru impreza. love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. boy: once upon a time, there was a nice house that lived with a family. one day, it started to rain and rain. water got inside and ruined everybody's everythings. the house thought she let the family down. but the family just didn't think a flood could ever happen. the reality is, fl

this is significant because anything this goes through washington has to go through congress. and if democrats are able to take back senate and republican is elected then that republican is going to control the congress. rand spaul one of the key building blocks for republicans to maintain control of the senate. so yes the likes of mitch mcconnell who is the senate republican leader i'm sure is breathing a sigh of relief that rand paul has decided to run again in kentucky. >> when rand paul entered the race a lot of people were excited. he brought this libertarian message. he thought twauld translate to his campaign but it never did. >> right carol. and i think part is the donald trump effect. it's been very hard for anyone to get attention. and when you look at these libertarian folks, especially in a place like new hampshire, these are the kinds of people who could also be attracted to donald trump's message. but i think the prodder thing here is the only thing harder than running one campaign is running two at the same time. and that is essentially what rand paul was trying

>> voters won't change in washington. they know this is the election between those power brokers in washington who want to maintain the status quo and all of those americans who believe the government should work for the people rather than the other way around. that's the competition you're seeing. people are tired of political correctness and those really focused on favoritism for a few here in washington rather than opportunity for all. >> well, you want change in washington to be clear, to be sure, and the question is, who is most likely to get that change? it's the issue of, you know, electability versus purity, really. when voters in iowa were asked about who the most electable was, it was marco rubio at 43%, donald trump at 25%, cruz 22. you have a record and heritage has a record of being on the side of purity sometimes instead of electability. what do you think in this case? >> well, there's really no purity in politics. what we want to do is move things in a positive direction. americans know we haven't been doin
