tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> back to our panel. last night you were saying donald trump you saw was one you would like to see more of. do you think he has abandoned it for good? are you disappointed? is this just the way he runs. >> not disappointed, we will see more of what we saw last night. the thing is it has to be a meaningful, understandable transition. he can't go from being someone who is organic, spontaneous, fun, lively, people like to watch to someone that's poll tested, focus group tested politician. that would be inauthentic. it would be like when marco rubio went from being the politician to doing a standup comedy act. the thing that has gotten donald trump, he is the guy that says something on the campaign trail, that he says at the dinner table. same guy with his family he is on stage. people like that, believe it, find it honest, trustworthy. for him to change and be a different person, it wouldn't be believable. >> tara, you look like you've gone to a special place. >> i sit here and listen to this, i think of all

also with us, "washington post" opinion columnist and form speechwriter for president george w. bush, michael gersten. here we are talking about these e-mails. this drip, drip continues. >> and even if several months from now hillary clinton is completely exonerated, the issue is what does an iowa voter do on monday? and lester holt asked exactly the right question. hillary clinton started as the formidable front-runner. one reason bernie sanders has been able to get competitive. and he's run a good campaign. if you are an iowa voter looking for change, something new and thinking about electability, this is another clinton with a cloud over the head. so it raises a doubt. and the last thing you need in a tight race three days before the election is a doubt. >> and it raises tweets from donald trump. this one just tweeted, the new e-mail release is a disaster for hillary clinton. at a minimum how can someone with such bad judgment be our next president? >> certainly that's not surprising coming from donald trump. but, look, certainly the timing is not ideal. but i think what the

call that visit to washington a win for him. there's also other major distractions, david duke or this episode today, tax returns earlier this week. for somebody like paul ryan that wants to give the nominee benefit of the doubt up to a point, don't want to handcuff to a guy with a giant surprise on hand. >> we have to take a break. some worries conservatives have, the way his positions have changed over time. real is touching a ray. amazing is moving like one. real is making new friends. amazing is getting this close. real is an animal rescue. amazing is over twenty-seven thousand of them. there is only one place where real and amazing live. seaworld. real. amazing when a moment turns romantic why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you

the last "the washington post" poll had 13% rating for trump voters. that's saying i don't detest you. >> we will talk more about this race, particularly the women's issue. hillary clinton is talking about donald trump's attacks, what she had to say about the name calling and what they both call the woman card when 360 continues. ♪ i like it. wait, you shot that? your sister shot this? she calls it, "onions." it's beautiful. and it's just an onion. put this on our homepage now. people need to see this. the rules of cinema have changed. this is the work of a major artist. i heard she shot the whole thing on an iphone. i'm gonna make a movie about snap peas. who's gonna watch a movie about snap peas? can i have three tickets for "onions" please? this was like seeing the onion on a molecular level. this is talent. why are we not representing it? now i know the truth.

he has the kind of record that you want in washington. and that's why i'm convinced you'll do the right thing tomorrow. agreed? >> i spoke with governor kasich just a short time ago. governor, how do you feel heading into tomorrow? all along you've said ohio is still a mufts-win for you. is it still that way? >> oh, yeah. we're going to win ohio. i feel very good. i think it's going to happen because we've had a good record here of job growth and economic gains. and i think when people take a look at some of the nonsense they're seeing on the campaign trail, the negativity, name calling, i think they are becoming really recognizing that the positive campaign really makes a difference. >> donald trump has been going after you attacking you in the way he attacked chris christie before christie endorsed him. hitting you for supporting nafta. could this make the difference for him? >> he's not going to win here. all this negative campaigning. when you live in ohio and you are the governor of ohio, you take a pounding from people. and they dis

huge crowd at the washington square in greenwich. big turnout with a lot of celebrity support for senator sanders. what's it been like, chris? >> you know, these bernie sanders rallies are something to behold. as you're well aware, thousands and thousands of people here. they've been here for a long time and waiting for the man speaking behind us right now, senator bernie sanders. he's standing under the famous arch in washington square park in new york city. the saying on it is significant. this spot was picked for a reason by the sanders campaign. it says "let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair." and the senator has been talking about what that means about incremental change is not enough. he's naming out his opponents and the crowd is going wild when he's saying people cannot divide. inkremtsal change is not enough talking about clinton, talking about trump. yes, rosario dawson was here. yes, spike lee was here. spike lee, referencing the famous line from malcolm x about are you tired of being bamboozled,

she joins us from washington. what are the latest details? >> reporter: we know justice scalia went to texas on friday for a hunting trip at a secluded rezorts. he had dinner on friday night. the ranch owner had been speaking to reporters and said scalia was entertaining and engaged throughout the dinner. around 9:00 p.m. he said he had a long week and wanted to get a good sleep. a separate source tells evan perez that scalia said he wasn't feeling well on friday. the next day the range owner checked on scalia because he didn't show up for breakfast and lunch and found him in bed lying in repose. the sheets weren't wrinkled, no signs of foul play. it appears he died in his sleep of natural causes and the family has reportedly requested for him not to have an autopsy. >> in terms of political fallout, a fight brewing over the successor between the white house and republicans. any timetable as to how it could play out? >> likely it will be within the next month we'll hear about a nomination based on previous nominations coming from president ob

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

this is where not having friends in washington -- you know, john mccain. >> who was born in the panama canal zone could have come out and defended cruz and didn't. >> right. >> here is the thing, this is the brilliance of donald trump. he is a brilliant marketer, brilliant when it comes to messaging and he knows that social reputation creates reality. repeat it, repeat it. repeat it. if he's created a perception now that people 24% of people don't know, this wasn't even on the radar a couple months ago. trump himself in september said it wasn't an issue until it was. >> people listen, people distrust and who you put on to tell them that's not true. something else really interesting and this is one of the things in the bob dole from the establishment to the extent that such a thing kpiexists. they prefer it. >> can we talk about how remarkable it was. the party has so given up hope in the traditional candidates people are talking about whether they prefer trump over cruz? >> in the is the conversation in the republican party since the bail j bailouts in 2008. what do we stand for? if we

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

tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> let's talk with our panel. ross, it is interesting. we've all done interviews with trump and challenged him on facts. >> i haven't, but -- >> i have. it's -- i've never really interviewed anyone quite like him. he's a brilliant marketer. in real estate, i guess it's normal to inflate numbers and trumpet things, no pun intended. in the world of politics you rarely see someone do it as regularly as donald trump. >> in defense of donald trump, i'd say about 50% of what we just saw in that clip is actually normal politician speak. like nafta destroying ohio. economists debate but politicians say things like that all the time. same with the attack on rubio being amnesty. the other 50% is a mix of what you are describing. it's that's art of the deal, say something big and work out the details later. and a kind of people have compared it to like chain e-mails on the internet where he's telling a story he's heard somewhere, the guy being in isis. he tells the story about the american general in the philippines using -- and that's, i think, tha

also cnn political commentator and washington correspondent for the new yorker, ryan lizza. this idea trump could be unstoppable based on not only momentum but math. how much stock do you put in there? >> a lot. we've been grading marco rubio on a curve since iowa, right? he has to consolidate the anti-trump vote and he has to consolidate the republican establishment around him and the donor class and do it basically yesterday. time is running out. in between now and super tuesday is likely to be another trump victory in nevada. bottom line as john pointed out. if you aren't winning, you aren't winning. the most important thing is if cruz can pick up florida and ohio, then he has a shot. then the momentum can change. it's going to be hard for him to pick up ohio if kasich is in the race. frankly, rubio's path is through john kasich. with kasich in the race, it's very, very hard to see how he catches trump. >> maggie, as long as -- to ryan's point, as long as kasich is in the race but also cruz is in the race. the vote is divided. >> the vote is divided although i've been ske

bush also vowed to change washington. but he's also putting the blame on republicans especially with this supreme court nomination. a question of will you give this nominee a hearing? that's going to put republicans on the defensive. but at the same time, don, i don't see the republicans caving. now, will the democrats say, well, the president won't sign spending bills unless you give him this nominee. that, will they raise the stakes to that degree? we'll see later this year, but i don't see republicans caving any time soon and i think republicans might say, listen, we might lose the senate over this, but this is more important to prevent obama from shifting this court. >> i appreciate all of you coming on tonight. gloria borger working hard in the field. all the guys, lazy in the studio sucking up the air-conditioning or the heat. gloria, thank you very much. >> come on down. it's fun. >> thank you, guys. see you soon. >>> when we come right back, hillary clinton on the trail in harlem. will african-american voters be t

my vote in washington, d.c. or someone else's vote in montana does not equal the same number of delegates. but the person that has benefitted more from the system than anyone so far is donald trump. so 37% of the popular vote, won 45% of the delegates. so it's unfair for everyone in the same way. >> to be fair to those people who are cruz supporters, they are the republicans who show up for the meetings. they show up talking about electing the county commission. they are republicans in their community. the challenge for donald trump is the good part is he's bringing in all these new voters. the bad part is the voters are not parking lot of the process. they are not the familiar faces. they earned because they have done all the trenchwork. >> a lot more ahead. we'll dig into the democratic race. bernie sanders speaking at a rally in queens, new york u. also new polling on what voters think of sanders and hillary clinton as both turn up the heat on the eve of the new york primary. ♪ ♪ it's easy to love your la

people feel like who live off washington, who to get the big consulting contracts and keep things propped up like the export/import bank, they can get donald trump to do that. it's weird because donald trump is saying, oh, the establishment doesn't like me while laying out the case for his candidacy based on why they would like him. so it's just really confusing to hear him explain it that way. >> jeff, to trump supporters, they'd say that ultimately, if you are president, to actually get anything done in washington, there does have to be some compromise. there does have to be some give and take. >> the difference -- ronald raugraug reagan was a dealmaker. which direction do you make the deals in? ronald reagan steered the country right and it took the country in a conservative direction. making deals in and of itself, there's nothing wrong with it. trump critics are saying he's authoritarian. on the other hand they are saying he wants to make deals. there's nothing wrong with making deals. deals get made all the time. the question is what direction do you take the country when you make t

on the march in washington. but his activity was in the north clearly so it's not surprising in a movement with hundreds of thousands, millions of people involved that two individuals did not meet one another. >> what do you expect to happen at tonight's debate? it was increasingly tense between sanders and clinton. there's obviously tension between the campaigns. stakes are getting higher by the day. secretary clinton took a drubbing in new hampshire. how do you expect things to play out tonight? >> i think senator sanders is going to keep doing what he has to do. obviously the voters in new hampshire responded as did the voters in iowa. we have a rigged economy held up by a corrupt system of campaign finance. that has to change. >> we'll not see a new bernie sanders on the stage tonight. bill press was saying senator sanders has been saying the same stuff for 40-plus years. we're going to hear that tonight, you think? >> senator sanders has consistently stood up against injustice, whether it's economic or raci

this is one way washington elected officials can say, you know what, we're not betraying you because we're not going to let anyone other than a conservative on this supreme court. we're going to do everything we can to block the president. so they believe they've got the politics on their side. >> peter, do you think this is really an issue that will drive people one way or another? >> if donald trump is on the ballot, i think that's going to overshadow everything. but gloria just encapsulated what the republican problem is in a nutshell. in order to show that they are not betraying them, they have to do something, which we know from polls, is unpopular with americans as a whole. so you have a situation where republican senators are still more worried about getting primary challenges, from ted cruz clones than they are about the fact that they could lose their seats in november because the country as a whole doesn't like the idea that someone doesn't even get a vote. >> jeffrey lord, let me start with you on donald trump and sort of this warning that he said on "new day" about riots

they don't trust people in washington. and you need to overcome that, you need a track record. ted's track record goes back to when he was a teenager memorizing the constitution and making his way around texas teaching people about it through being the solicitor general, winning awards as the texas solicitor general that democrats supported him for what a good job he did defending the constitution. and then moving on to the senate and continuing that as the only consistent conservative in this race. >> if your candidate doesn't win texas, is that it for him? >> obviously, a home state is absolutely critical. we're not going to make any bones about that. you have to win your home state. really to have a viable path forward. and right now, with ted's popularity in texas, we see him heading to -- cruzing, in his case, to a victory. he's visited more time than any other candidate in the super tuesday states. we have more cash on hand than all the other campaigns combined. so we're prepared for that next week's worth of battles in all of these states as the race goes from one state

today he was in washington, d.c. and so that is a newsworthy story -- >> actually, i was on the air -- right, i was actually on the air, and what we reported is that he was going down to florida, and then actually, we followed up with a statement from his campaign saying he was going down to florida because he needed a change of clothes. that might sound ridiculous, but that's what we reported. >> yeah, okay, well, i don't -- a change of clothes, i don't -- well, chris moody had also said r&r, which i took to mean rest and relaxation. we never disputed the cnn reporting -- >> we also reported that he was going to speak at the national prayer breakfast. >> right, and we -- right. so he went to the national prayer breakfast. the whole point is, in the political world, this is playoffs. this is it. nothing else. skipping the playoffs and expecting to go to the super bowl is just -- it doesn't make sense. so that -- so dr. carson made a strategic decision that he wanted to go to florida instead of new hampshire. that tel

-- articulating the contrast between ted cruz and donald trump and what ted cruz oh -- he's gone to washington, did what he said he's going to do. and donald trump, everybody is now learning, that he was -- he was pro partial birth abortion, pro gay marriage, pro t.a.r.p., pro stimulus. donald trump has a horrific for someone who wants to win the nomination. he can probably win the democratic nomination and now people are discovering he's not -- he has never been one of us, certainly not a movement conservative and barely could qualify as a republican. >> rick, your candidate just talked about this on the stage. i want to play that for our viewers. >> apparently, mr. trump considers megyn kelly very, very scary. and, you know, donald is a fragile soul. i mean, she might ask a mean question, and who knows what could happen. i mean, his hair could stand on end. and imagine someone called you and said, you know what, i'd like that job. but i ain't showing up for the interview. what would you say? you're fired! and i'm going to propose a venue, western iowa tech, saturday night in sioux city. we a
