Here with you. You have an amazing Career And Reputation as somebody that people can trust. Iowa is such an important place. What do you think about the Turnout Tonight with the weather . This is unpredictable and we failed to include any questions about whether the weather would be determinative in terms of whether people show up. Your you are own intuition. Well see. Bill you have seen a lot of these caucuses, Ronna Mcdaniel spoke with us yesterday and talked about you have to be organized. Here is the point she makes. I think trumps Ground Game is better than it was in 2016. Desantis has a good Ground Game and nicki has a good Ground Game. Organization will be key tomorrow. Bill you dont poll on that or do you to try to figure out who is best at it . We have some clues about it. Thats in terms of people having their minds made up and
Record would be amazing. Dana it is interesting with the Biden Campaign they didnt think President Trump would be on the scene and trounce anybody on the issue of abortion. But the Obama Team Theyve picked up on this and theyre worried and what they said to politico. This is the real reason for the Obama Camp Divide with biden. Even as the Biden Campaign takes step to build out its team there remains anxiety amongst democrats. The president has never had to run a Ground Game of this magnitude. I read that article. Before Christmas Obama was in the White House having lunch with Joe Biden and was trying to lay out for him what he did in 2012. Thats his reelect year. They feel he has no organization here. I dont think they understand the magnitude of what they did to iowa and New Hampshire to bypass them and go straight to
I will say our campaign understands the urgency. We are rising to the occasion to meet the moment. Doing what we need to do to make sure well win in november. Thats not dictated by one poll or any given moment in time. Thats dictated by putting down a plan and building an infrastructure to make sure were competitive and victorious in november of 2024. Bill we mentioned poll numbers. They arent good. You wonder put a democratic brain on for a second and who do you want to compete against . Donald trump or Ron Desantis or Nikki Haley . I think Joe Biden they think if you look at their campaign, it is very predictable where it is going. Well see democracy in peril. January 6th, donald trump. Abortion. Republicans need to be careful on this issue. It hurt them in 2022 and explained that in detail on my show. And then theyll go to the old
Support for President Trump . When we had the Town Hall the other night the first questioner had tears in his eyes at the opportunity to talk to mr. President. There is power for Trumps Base and clearly the case that despite all the talk of chaos last night, Nikki Haley saying, you know, if you go with trump you are going really backwards. We need to go to the future. None of that seems to be arguing sufficiently that it is a powerful message for iowa voters or i think this is one of the key differences i see in iowa this year is that its the national message. Trump is dominating nationally and it is impacting on iowa in a way that maybe wouldnt have been before. The people came here, spent time here and visited. Desantis visited the 99 counties. Everybody has been here and the national message has been all about donald trump. He is the king of republican media and i think it has had a
Desantis but vivek has done this junior Maga Thing and now trump at the last minute is saying he is not maga and if he can pull off peel off one or 2 it could be the difference in terms of a Narrative Maker or breaker for donald trump and why you saw that attack. Dana Ron Desantis will go to South Carolina after iowa. Things are not going as he had hoped. It is extraordinary to look where Ron Desantis is today compared to where he was when he started out. He had an interesting clip from last week where he complained about the media. He had a lot of support from conservative media from the very beginning. Iowa is uniquely fashioned for kind of a nerdy guy like him. He likes to talk about policy and sit in small rooms and talk to people. He has not done it. I think that explains his collapse but also the surge of nikki haley. I would argue if he is going to
