medicaid, talking about the mental health crisis in our prisons gets him in the door of where a lot of americans are right now which is really anxious about economic and equality. half of americans couldn t pay a $400 bill without going in debt or selling something today. so the republican party spent a few minutes on the economy in the debate and had very little to say for working class americans. that goes to the organizers, which was hugh s point about questions very quickly. i think hillary clinton in some ways, because the e-mail controversy was not explored very adequately by the questioner, and also because of the focus on gender, is one of the beneficiaries of what happened. ironically i could argue with marco rubio and john kasich seen as two strong performser in a general election, that s scary for her. i ll be in new hampshire with her tomorrow. i ll be surprised if at a town hall meeting this doesn t come up. it would be perfect to discuss megyn kelly. general
both. only scott walker brought up hillary clinton s server. i thought what he did was to build the audience, it was enormous. at the same time, i wanted a different issue set talked to. the republican primary voter lost in that. carly fiorina won big time. walker, kasich. rubio. but the loser was the gop. what can damage donald trump though, andrea? potential conventional gravity doesn t apply to him? he has teflon. if not this, what? i mean, gender, what could be more important? 53% of the voters, you drill down on what women care about, what women want. it s insulting. it s rude. he attacks a very popular the most popular star on cable tv. and conservatives love her. this is where this is why some people think this is the straw. he s insulting someone the conservatives have really fallen for. the circus goes on. as hugh says, the real issues
of national decline. if i can tap into that, that can compete with the anti-passion surrounding him. well, it is just it is one of these things, it s fun and frustrating to follow at the same time. is that wrong? it s right. scott walker tapped into what david just talked about when he talked about polling, nato and the need to get more troops on the front line with russia. and rubio does it, too. that s where the party needs to stay. i don t know that donald trump can go there. he doesn t have that background, he doesn t have that factual ability that the others bring to the table. what do you make of carly fiorina? i think she was the standout in the first debate and i think she deserves to be. i think she has great debating skills and a lot of confidence. do i think she s right on policy? do i think she s going to able to really change what is the big achilles heel for the right which is their economic position? is it as easy to attack hillary clinton than the men? we
carly fiorina, john kasich, and my next guest, senator marco rubio of florida. many think hillary clinton should fear the most next year because he s someone who represents a younger, more diverse republican party. i sat down with him yesterday in miami for a meet the candidate interview. here it is. you got a lot of universal praise for the debate. i want to get into one specific issue where there has been some questions about a response you had. it is on abortion. i want to get this clarification. will you support legislation that has exceptions? i have. anti-abortion legislation i have. i ll support any legislation about rape, incest yeah, i ll support any legislation that reduces the number of abortions. that means a 20-week abortion ban. at 5 months a child you ll recognize it as a human being in an ultrasound image and i ll support that. that doesn t obviously cover the whole gamut, but it reduces the number of abortions. i ll support any legislation that redu
i m not persuaded at all with donald trump on the issue of jobs and economy is what you re going to hear because look at the way he describes the bankruptcy law, the way he talks about jobs. no one has really been able to seriously sit down and interview him about what he knows and what he does. david, what you just heard, i mean, he doesn t he seems to have an allergy to apologizing. you know, i think we all think we know what type you know, but it doesn t seem to apply to voters don t it struck me during that interview i m listening to a religious zealot and the god he worshipped is donald trump. anybody one who doesn t believe is a blasphemer. i think he s created a fortress around himself. the 20% of republicans are inside the fortress. inside that fortress the walls get higher with each controversy. but 80% will never go in the fortress. i think he ll be in the race
