We move on to the race for president and Hillary Clinton hitting back at donald trump, her Campaign Calls his words disgusting sext slurs as a brandnew Poll Shows Trump Holding on to one of the biggest leads yet in the republican race. Jon karl in washington with all the latest. Good morning, jon. Reporr that new poll from cnn has trump with a 21point lead over his closesest republin rival. But it is his w of words with Hillary Clinton that is now getting ugly. After Donald Trumpps cru commts monday aim at Hillary Clinton. She was going to beat obama. She was favored to win and she gogot [leep ]. E lost. I mean, she lost reporter overnight clinton responded to umps comment inn an interview with the Des Moines Register saying hes i dont know that he has any boundaries at all and his bigotry, his bluster, hisulully have become his campaigngn. Reporter the Clinton Campaign is blasting tmp calling him o out for, quote, degrading language and disgusting sexist slurs. Even clintons democratic rival Bernie Sanders hit back at trump at a rally in iowa. This is a guy who wants to be president of the united states. He mt have a very unusual relationship with women. Reporter and clinton doubled down on her claim that isis is using trump as a recruiting tool saying reports on Arabic Television like these are fueling isis. [ speaking a Foreign Language ] if you go on Arabic Television as we have and you look at what is beieing blasted out with video of mr. Trump is playing into the hands ofhe violent jihadists. Reporter jeb bush joined in to criticize clinton. Shes great at being the victim. Reporter he didnt spare trump either. Its not a sign of strength to use profanities. Were two days befe christmas. Liten up, man. Reporter overnight t trump tweeted the term he used is not vulgar. He said he was just saying that Hillary Clinton had beeneaten badly by obama and that that term is often used in politics. His evidence, george, was unnpr reporters use of that term about four yea ago. Yeah, i saw that. Jon, thanks very much. Lets bring in matthew dowd who has worked in campaigns for both parties, matthew, back to that cnn poll shong donald trump way at the top. One more time, ted cruz in second placece. Now, both cruz and trump are saying its now a twopeon race on the republican side. Well, i think its actually going to be a threeperson race. Its two people dominant. This point, george but i think it will come down to a threeperson race based on what happens in New Hampshire and that will either be marco rubio or Chris Christie if they surprise in New Hampshire so i look for this to be a threeperson race. One thing i w wanted to say is the last time a republican was this domiminant in the primary was in 1999 2000, the last time a republican has been this dominant right before christmas. And that was george w. Bush who you worked for who wentt o to get the nomination, become president of the united d states. So you believe now that donald trump has a legitimate chancnce to be the nominee . I think he has more tha a legitimate chance to be the nononee. I think right n the odds favor him in theourse of this. He has a 20, 21point lead. Everyone else is way down the list. Hes probably going to win New Hampshire. I mean think he is the problem he has, theres one electorate that the republicans like him and the general with him, thats his achilles heel. Matthew dowd, thanks very much.

Some encouraging news for one in eight couples who struggles with infertility. A new report if the journal of themerican medical associion says in vitro or ivf may be better at helping you get pregnant than was previously believed which can why im joined now by dr. Jennifer ashtonnd this is great news. Explain the finding. This is the actual study and this may be the first time that a study l looked at what the estimates are for a successful live birth after sequential ivf topics. If you look at this graphts a very busy curve. Theres a lot going on hereut i want youo may attention to is the shape of the curve and what you see here, bottom line is as a woman or a couple does more ivt cycles the overall success rate g goes up so the likelihood of a live birth goes up, perseverance pays off. I know we don have a ton of can you tell me . I think a lot of couples will drop out of ivf after t three or four cycle because they think ey will not succeed and we know now thats actually not true. Now, we have to remember theres a lot that goes into this on the couples level. This is an individual decision. Theres costs involved. Its expensive. Emotional and physical tolls but if you want to keep tryining the odds are a actualllly in your vor. Its sort of the tried and true, you know, you keep trying you dont give up and this is really good news a so i ask you as an ob gyn what advice are you giving . This will vary based on where they live in the cup and how old she is but for the average recoendation, number one, if yoyou feel you need to see an infertility specialist go to a boardcertified reproductive endocrinologist. If you get work there get copies of all tests and treatments in case you need to bring them to opinion and, again, be realistic, but be optimistic because it oy takes one successful time to go home with a live baby.

Well look at how well they did wrapping oddly shaped items and one o of my favorites maxwell ryan is here to show us how its really done. The first challenge for our teams wasas the soccer ball. I have actually given a soccer ll and it is a unique challenge so, rob, why dont you show us fir how d you fare . Strategy. I felt bad. What boos . Its an art piece. And mara, your soccer ball. Oh, yeah. Sorry, rob. Maxwell. Heres the thing, clearly this is a better job. Yeah. Clearly. But she had to work really hard. There is a trick. The trick is, you take a ball and put it in a bowel and wrap it and tie it up. Why in a bowl. It holds it and then the paper and then the paper is here. Okay, theres no cut. Its just one sheet of paper. Just one sheet of paper. Tomorrow youre up. The next challenge was utensils. You want to give someone a house warming gift. New kitchen, new home. How do you do it . A similar idea. You have a candy theme. Im hormonally p primedor this and nesting like crazy. This isight up my wheelhouse. Let me tell you,his segment got my hormones cranking too and look at that advance that spatula. E shredded the paper itself. You wanted the paper shred shredded . Ye. Thats advanced. Thats artwork. Ill let maxwell break the news to you. I think he put it in a blender as well. So people people. Use the apn. Use the apron, this is call ed a japanese wrapping techniqueue which you use fabric which you had what great thing because kitchen items and an apron. We tricked you. You thought you needed to wearing the apron. Dont reveal the final. The final was candles. I think that the problem with giving candles is obviously candles so, rob, you go ahead first. Ce on, look at that, right . Got to give it up here. Where are the other oneses . Trio, one there and one there. The coup de grace. I did them individually. What do you think . I think you both did a really fine job. Actually, come on. But look at this. Light the paper. Its. Its a party popper. Theyre not going to know its a candle until they open it up. How did you did you tape them together . No, theyre using a couple sheets of wrapping paper. And tissue. Just one piece. And the secret trick is double sided tape theres no just want to makake sure he had the opportunity. I thought it was sticking everywhere. Itas tying me up. Final tip on any oddly shaped gift, one nugget in a nuhell. One nugget or nutshell. Get creative. Dont get gift bags. Theyre a copout. I dont like that one. Next, apartment therapy.
