leadership skills to do it. governor bush, it s willie geist. good to see you. there was an interesting account of the last six or seven months of the campaign in the the washington post. one of the news worthy parts is mitt romney visited you and talked about the prospect of you becoming nominee and perhaps president of the united states pep said he liked you a lot, thinks you ll be a great president but thought you were severely burdened by the george w. bush presidency particularly the legacy of iraq. as you look at your poll standing do you feel your brother has weighed on you in the last seven months as you run? absolutely not. smirm a great guy and i do consider him a friend. in that private conversation we talked about the campaign because he was thinking about running. i went out the see him. i wanted him to know i was all in and i had a plan to win this. i still do. my brother if you did the polling and looked at it he s the most popular president amongst republicans in
america great again. so this ad if you haven t seen it it s everything we ve come to expect from donald. it s understated, thoughtful. it says trump will cut the head off isis, it doubles down on his plan to ban muslims from coming in to the country. trump is still the front-runner among republicans. we re finally in the election year. things are still very much up for grabs. only thing we know at this point about the republican nomination is that we shouldn t let steve harvey announce the winner. he had a great idea. these guys are in front of me. hold on a second. these guys that feel like they can go take over federal buildings, we have a great idea. why don t we send the chicago police department out there. right? see how they handle them. just send them out. again, like i said i m wondering, i m sorry if you re a black guy, right,
35% to senator ted cruz 18%. marco rubio 13%. ben carson at 9 and jeb bush at 6. nearly 80% of republicans who have decided say they are absolutely certain or likely to stay with their current choice of candidate. the poll finds trump supporters are more set in their choice than the average republican voter, 51% saying they will not change their minds. that number is better than his top rivals, loin 36% of cruz voters say they are certain. 26% of rubio supporters say they are certain. trump leads across all demographics including with white evangelical voters 33% to 21% for cruz. trump s advantage over cruz narrows a bit with self-described very conservative voters, 35% to 30%. so a lot of people were wondering chris, you ve been
words between marco rubio and ted cruz heats up as well. here s rubio yesterday. we have isolationist candidates who apparently more passionate about weakening our military and intelligence capabilities than they are about destroying our enemies. they talk tough. yet they would strip us of the ability to keep our people safe. words and political stunts can t ensure our security. isis cannot be filibustered. while some claim they would destroy isis make the sands of the middle east glow-in-the-dark my question is with what? because they can t do it with the oldest and smallest air force we ever had. if isis had lobbyists in washington they would hatch spent millions to support the anti-intelligence law that was just passed with the help of some republicans now running for president. when i m president, we re not is going to violate the civil lie
were republicans in the past. the question becomes i was a nay sayer earlier. he s now 25, 26, 27 days away from pulling this off. if he wins the primary can he pull enough votes to beat hillary clinton. do you think he s smart enough to pivot a little bit and play to the different audiences he needs to play to. he s clearly smart. he wouldn t be where he is now. the question becomes can his persona survive that kind of broadening you re suggesting and hold on the kind of support he s been able to create and sustain up to this point is the question. if you look at the last three days and how the clintons have tied themselves up. yesterday they laid down like lambs. you know why? i know i m going to catch grief. they are scared to death.
