and he was glad of that even though it was pointed out that 11,000 people were laid off and people lost billions of dollars of investments. love him or hate him. he tries to double down. if you re nasty to women, but it s rosy o donnell. and he says i left people out of work, but they weren t good guys. i liked it. i liked kasich when he talks about compassion. it has a bit of bobby kennedy but tough about physical stuff. they are poor or near poor and want health care. he says are you going to deny them health care? i wonder if there s an audience for that kind of compassion. i think there is. he s talking about lifting everybody up. the republican party has to be a party that s policies can lift everyone up. john kasich has given voice to
party at this point. one woman was leaning between the trump and questioning whether she could support him. he said he needs to standby the party. but for the rest of the people here, this is a donald trump campaign. they are taking names, signing people up. all right, you re in a donald trump room, thank you for checking in with us. we re going to the political editor for the boston globe. i want to go to a question that chuck referred to already, which was the question to donald trump about things he has said about women in the past. public statements he s made about them calling some women individuals, fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals and trump s response to that was only rosy o donnell, which some trump supporters seem to accept as an answer.
this time. the trump show is only get. ing started there. he went after megyn kelly on the issue of women s issues. you have called women you don t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals. only rosy o donnell. it was well beyond o donnell. your twitter account has comments about women s looks. you once told a contestant it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. does that sound to you like at temperament of the man who is running our country. i think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. and i don t frankly have time for total political correctness. what i say is what i say. and honestly, if you don t like it, i m sorry. i ve been very nice to you,
that is what you need. access access access is what he is saying. thank you both for being with me. appreciate your time this morning. now to atlanta where ten republican candidates gather for a weekend summit a little over an hour from now governor chris christie will be up for his remarks. you were with the group of supporters at a watch party last night. based on their reactions what did you get out of it? now, to be clear this is not an exactly cross section of the republican party. the red state audience is very conservative and active and very engaged. this was their immediate reaction to donald trump, wild cheers as he took the stage. he went over extremely well in the first hour. there were hallers especially when he denounced political correctness. when he made a joke about rosy o donnell it got big laughs. things did get quieter a little
pro choice a few years ago. u but he clearly wasn t. is that going to bother them? i think it depends on the issue. when you look at abortion, it s fairly mitt romney was able to change his position on abortion and bring the base around on that. it depends on how this gets interpreted. the conservative media, the media outlets that republican voters read, listen to, watch, they take their cues from. is the point of emp siz over the next few days that donald trump said nice things about single payer health care. that he refused to rule out the third party campaign. is that the emphasis of the coverage or more donald trump said something funny about rosy o donnell. it s a a wild card right now. i m curious how conservative media spins this in the next few
