Hello, everyone. Im kate bolduan. And im john berman. In a few hours Hillary Clinton will fire a trumpseeking missile, maybe a few, in fact. The Clinton Campaign is billing this as a major speech in san diego designed to hammer the Presumptive Republican nominee on Foreign Policy. Her Senior Adviser tells cnn she will explain why she believes trump has dangerous ideas, and she believes hes unfit to be president. So one way shes going to counter that is clinton is expected to trumpet her record as secretary of state, but trump isnt waiting around. Already firing a preemptive strike slamming clintons Foreign Policy record and saying she has no actual talent. Cnns Jason Carroll is in california where the two candidates are squaring off. Jason, team clinton is building this speech up quite a bit. What are you learning about it . Reporter yeah, yeah. A lot of namecalling sort of going back and forth ahead of this speech. Jake sullivan, Hillary Clintons senior policy adviser, is the one who
Conversations are part and parcel of the russian collusion investigation, and that takes precedence. Stay with me. Gloria borger, and let me bring you in this and we can comment on the bizarre nature of the briefing here in a second, but to hear sean spicer refer any question on, you know, the next weeks testimony with mr. Comey and the investigation, and referring to outside counsel, and this the beginning of the new norm . Yes. I think it is. And mark casowitz is someone who has long remitted donald trump, and he is going to have a supervisory role, and other lawyers hired, and he is going to be the one who communicates with the president most frequently. Clearly, there is a Comfort Level there, and this is clearly a very different world, because i think that what you are going to be finding in this white house as you have found in the clin ton white house is that you have to kind of wall people off from this investigation. Sean spicer doing his job, and not answering questions that
cycles, the ground zero for a whole lot of retail campaigning. 2011 was an unusual year in the sense that that phase didn t begin till very late in the year. debates drove this process. now division ads to a considerable degree. we have candidates all over the state, town hall with santorum, mitt romney is coming back today and everybody will be blan eting for the last minute turnout push. i think as peter said a moment ago, the fact thaw might have the potential for a decent turnout because the weather is going to be so mild is good for a candidate whose support is broad but not particularly deep. david, let s go ahead and bring you in here. what are your thoughts on all this? which candidates do you feel are most buzzed about at this point and maybe the least? well, certainly lots of attention paid to mitt romney and ron paul because they re duking it out at the head of the polls. i would say the buzziest candidate is rick santorum
primary competition as hillary clinton was in hers. i don t think the parallel works completely. however, i think it does help candidates when they show some emotion, show the real dimensions of their personality, of their life stories, what s the complaint so many people have about politics is that it s all fake, it s all canned, people are reading polls and delivering lines they think voters want them to hear. when you have somebody talking about his mother, talking about difficulty and illness with his family, i think it s all too the good for that candidate. you think it plays out well. david, how do you think potential caucus-goers are reacting to this? i was surprised how low down in the local newscasts around here that gingrich moment received. which was right. i don t think it was a huge, defining moment. i agree with john with his placement in the race and that hillary clinton moment injected a moment into the race in new hampshire at the time she was trying to come back f
for his part. so i think he s going to respond to the pressure and do what that dictates in the moment. he doesn t have to do it. and i don t think until he feels like he has to do it, he won t do it. but i will add that the obama campaign is going to make this an issue every day from now until mitt romney decides what to do. all right. david chalin and john harwood, nice to see both you. happy new year s. have a good party tonight. and now to new hampshire, just ten days left before first votes are cast in that primary. mitt romney has a commanding lead in the polls in new hampshire and campaigning the granite state. ron mott is in ham deden, new hampshire. good morning. reporter: good morning to you. mitt romney enjoys a sizeable lead here in new hampshire. he has a rapt audience waiting to meet him. last night he spoke to merrimack
