those who do not have college degrees. a much more muddled picture with the half of the party that does have college degrees. finally, there is this, the party establishment, the people on the republican side who say they don t want donald trumps their nominee, they are making an electability argument, warning republicans if you nominate donald trump, we lose seats in the house, we lose to hillary clinton. but if you ask republicans which of all these candidates running, which is the most electable, 52% are saying that donald trump has the best chance of beating the democrats. that electability argument right now is working in donald trump s favor. steve kornacki, thanks for breaking it down. ted cruz is in iowa where he s holding a gun rights rally at a shooting rain. i want to go to casey hunt.
achieved in 71 percent of american voters opposed to a government shut down are not angry at the pro life candidates running. is she wrong when she said a shutdown would be a mistake? i disagree. something very important has changed since the last government shut down. what has changed is the republican party has historic majorities in the house and we control the majority in the senate. a lot of people worked really hard in the nation to make that happen. i was one of them. i think people worked hard because they expected a change based on that majority. i do think that people want to ? what does our party stand for? what do i stand for? i will say, again, president obama can explain to the american people why it is so important to him to continue to
war in iraq. i m the most militaryistic person you ll ever meet. however, you have to know when to go and when to use the military. they use ed it at the wrong point. there will be an imbalance of the middle east, iran will take over iraq. a lot of bad people like isis will take over the oil. that s what happened. i m the only one of the candidates running, i m the only one, the only one that opposed the war. you could call it vision to be honest with you. i m proud of it. donald trump saying what s on his mind. as a fellow democrats no major changes. hillary clinton if the lead in iowa with 50% support. senator bernie sanders is in a distant second place. joe biden is yet to decide whether he will run for president but if he does he has some catching up to do. he s at third place at 12%. donald trump leading the polls is an 0 old story now.
now, senator paul has not been indicted, but mr. trump won t let that stand in the way of a good attack line. and he got in a dig at jeb bush also, who is down to seventh place in iowa. unlike jeb bush, unlike the brother and you know, who got us into the whole war, i was totally opposed to the war. of all the candidates running, i am the absolute only one that opposed the war. so one of those things. you could call that vision. trump hitting bush right where he s weakest. on iraq and his brother s legacy. trump s enjoying it. and a lot of democrats are probably enjoying it too. joining me now are michelle cottle from national journal and amy holmes, host of hot list on the blaze.com. thank you both for being here. thanks, rev. a pleasure, thank you. amy, trump says he s enjoying
where was secretary of state clinton in all of this? like the president himself, she had opposed the surge, then joined in claiming credit for its success. that was jeb bush, and not hillary clinton. i apologize for that, but the democratic it sort of works, and i ll tell you why. unlike jeb bush, unlike the brother who got us into the whole war, i was totally opposed to the war. you look at 2004 in reuters, headline trump opposes war in the iraq. i m the most militaristic person you will ever meet. however you have to know when to go and how to use it. iran will take over iraq, lots of bad people like isis will take over the oil. that s exactly what happened. and i m the only one, of all of the candidates running, i am the only one, the absolute only one that opposed the war.
