President ial debate. Lets go to David Axelrod first. Youre a former Senior Adviser to president obama. What do you think did Hillary Clinton, some pundits are suggesting, did she miss an opportunity tonight to stand out given her experience as a secretary of state . You know, it was interesting to me, normally shes being attacked for being too political. I think in this moment she was really thinking like a person who might become president of the United States. She was very tempered in her answers because of that. It may have been in the short run not to her political benefit, but it may be to her credit in the long run that she took that posture. She was a member of this administrati administration, as you know. She was walking a fine line trying to distance herself to a certain degree from president obama saying that, using the line that isis cannot be contained. It must be defeated. Thats a direct reference to the president. Saying that isis was contained. And also pointing out th
This evening. President obama weighed in on the gop race today. Lets listen. I continue to believe mr. Trump will not be president. And the reason is because i have a lot of faith in the american people. And i think they recognize that being president is a serious job. Its not hosting a talk show or reality show. Its not promotion. Its not marketing. Its hard. And a lot of people count on us getting it right. Gloria, not surprising he would say it shouldnt happen, but hes saying its not going to happen. Right. He didnt say, don, that donald trump wouldnt get the nomination from the Republican Party. He just said like a good democratic partisan that he did not think donald trump would be president. Look, the president doesnt like donald trump. I mean, you remember way back, what, a year or two years ago when donald trump was the birther issue about barack obama and where he was born and show me your birth certificate. He doesnt like the guy. But i truly believe what we heard him say is,
Of fraud, of stealing the election in iowa. You talk about wanting a new election there. Have you spoken to Republican Party officials about that . Im into New Hampshire now. Its one of those things. Sort of a lot of strange things. I like ben carson very much. And he got pretty roughed up, frankly. Although it affected me maybe more than ben. But im so much because ive been here now for two days, im so much into this, into New Hampshire, that i just dont knair that anymore. One more on ted cruz. He did say that you had a trumpertantrum. Have you ever heard that phrase . I havent actually. I love that phrase. I think thats great. I love that phrase. You can trademark that phrase. I actually like that. I may have to. Im going to trademark it before he can. Youll hear a lot from donald trump. He took questions from people in that restaurant on a wide variety of subjects. Well play that extensive interview in this hour. First, we want to get new polling just out. We go to tom foreman for
Thank a vet and know that the United States military deserves a commander in chief who loves our country passionately and will never apologize for this country. A new commander in chief who will never leave our men behind. A new commander in chief, one who will never lie to the families of the fallen. Im in it because just last week suffer and be hue mill appreciated on a world stage in the hands of the iranians because of a weak need and chief has decided that america will lead from behind and he who would negotiate deals, kind of like with the skills of a community organizer, maybe organizing a neighborhood tea, well, he deciding that no america would apologize and as part of the deal, as the enemy sends a message to the rest of the world that they capture and we cow tail and apologize and we bend over and say thank you, enemy. We are ready for a change. We are ready and our troops deserve the best. A new commander in chief whose track record of success has proven he is the master at
Its also been a day for fox news, which used to be a gop gatekeeper to scramble to fix things for trump and for trump not to care. He unveiled what hell be doing tomorrow night. Our jim acosta is traveling with the Trump Campaign. He joins us now. So what about this event he says hes going to have tomorrow night . Well, i understand the Trump Campaign made it official earlier this evening, putting out a press release, announcing that donald trump will essentially be holding a counter programming rival event across town in des moines, at drake university. And its going to be benefitting veterans organizations, according to the Trump Campaign. Now we should point out, were at this event with donald trump behind me in south carolina. He has not really addressed this debate controversy at all. He has only touched on it a couple times, saying he refuses to talk about it. He noted the fact there have been a number of debates so far, and that he feels like he was treated unfairly in that deba
