And the party gets into a civil war situation, we have a real disaster. If trump isnt facing a serious challenger, thats a problem for the country and i worry about that happening. Weve come to the top of another hour. Can you pan right and show us the results of the iowa caucus. Might as well talk about 2016 results. Theyre up on the board. These are the last Iowa Democratic caucus numbers we have. Hillary clinton, followed by Bernie Sanders and martin omalley, who leaves iowa on a rocket for New Hampshire.

We are awaiting live remarks from president obama who is due to speak shortly on countering violent extremism, but we begin with the man who is his own man, jeb bush trying to distinguish his views on Foreign Policy. In his speech today to the Chicago Council on global affairs, bush embraced the legacies of his father and brother. Im my own man. My views are shaped by my own thinking. One thing we know is this every president inhertits a changing world. There are newly minted jeb advisers that hail from the land of w. Porter goss and Michael Hayden and steven hadley.
