going to be don t engage in the mud slinging, don t engage in the games, just focus on telling the truth with a smile, focusing on my positive, optimistic, conservative vision. we can turn america around if we get back to the free market principles and constitutional liberties that built this country. you know, there s even the new york times interesting because they weren t attacking you early in the race, but as your poll numbers have gone up, specifically in iowa, now they re saying that your tax plan is a radical plan because it relies a lot on a value-added tax or national sales tax. and i wanted to give you a chance to explain that because i don t think a lot of people understand it because most americans have been indoctrinated into only understanding an income tax. well, sure. and you re right. from the new york times perspective, if you re a big government guy that wants power in washington, then you better believe the cruz flat tax is a radical plan from their perspe
that his best state is west virginia. his second best state are upstate new york. so i think in the primary he probably will win new york. yeah. what advice here in 28 days you ve been through the process and you ve been through a lot of elections. why are you laughing? look, this is the kind of year, sean, you know this, you and i talk about it privately. this is the kind of year when who knows? i don t even have to finish the question. what advice would you give any of these candidates at this late hour heading into iowa? look, iowa may not be the biggest predictor of who is going to be the nominee but it s important in terms of establishing momentum. it matters if you win, it matters if you win new hampshire. my first advice is very simple. don t plan to sleep very much until after this is over. get out there on the road. i like what again, notice the total difference in styles.

it was the right thing to do. but we ought to follow a simple rule. leave the kids out of it. don t pick on my kids, don t pick on marco s kids, don t pick on hillary s daughter or her grandchildren. leave our kids out of it. focus on the candidates. one of the things i have always said about barack obama, he seems to be a good father and his daughters seem lovely. i think that is the lowest of low. thanks for being with us, senator. have fun in iowa. we ll catch up with you on the campaign trail. thank you. great, thank you, sean, god bless. coming up, is going after bill clinton fair game? that s later tonight. but first donald trump calls it radical islamic terrorism, that s why he s calling for a temporary shutdown of muslims entering the united states until we can figure out what s going on. donald trump releases his first television ad. former speaker of the house newt gingrich. he is here with reaction. that s coming up later. president obama plans to go around congr
something else? last question. politics can be ugly. the washington post cartoon going after your daughters was one of the ugliest things in this campaign cycle. did you get the proper apology? and where do you stand with that? well, look, now, the post hasn t apologized, you re right. they had a cartoonist who did a cartoon making fun of my two little girls. caroline is 7 and catherine is 5. that wasn t fun. attacking 7 and 5-year-old girls, that s disgusting. that s despicable. it really was. it wasn t fun over christmas sitting down with my daughters and explaining to them that they had been drawn in a newspaper as dancing monkeys. and you know, all of us were taught when we were in kindergarten don t pick on 5-year-old little girls, yet somehow the washington post can t figure that out. you know what it did, sean? it revealed their true colors, which is they re willing to attack children because they hate conservatives so much. i was glad the post pulled the cartoon.
