Us. What do you see. Its interesting when you go beyond the top line, this huge republican field while at times can look chaotic but it does look like its driving enthusiasm among republicans. If you look at how enthusiastic voters are, 68 of republicans say theyre enthusiastic compared to 58 for democrats. Thats a pretty wide gap. It goes up the forthwe get closer to the election. Look back in september, the enthusiasm number for republicans was 65 . It does seem like a big field could ultimately benefit the republicans. I want to dig in on sort of the gender gap weve been looking at amongst some of the republican candidates. We talked for a while about whether trump might struggle with women because of some of the more inflammatory comments hes made about them. Both trump and ben carson are drawing 23 of support for women. Theyre ahead of the pack there. If you look at the men, trump has a wide lead over carson. That certainly seems to be where he has an edge over his most competitiv
Conscience, which is another way of saying dont vote for the candidate. Cruz was met with boos from the convention floor. Lets watch that scene. If you love our country and love your children as much as i know that you do, stand and speak and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust who defend our freedom and to be faithful to the constitution. I appreciate the enthusiasm of the new york delegation. We must make the most of our moment to fight for freedom, to protect our godgiven rights, even with those with whom we dont agree so that when we are old and gray and when our work is done and we give those we love one final kiss goodbye, god bless each and every one of you and god bless the United States of america. Well, there you saw the whole scene, donald trump coming in there, almost look cesar, coming in to defend his position. Donald trump tweeted, wow, ted cruz got booed off the stage. I saw his speech two hours earlier but let him speak anyway
Tariffs on chinese imports, sending the markets plunging yesterday and today and potentially sparking a trade war. He teased he would veto a congressional spending bill only to back down within hours. He reshuffled his legal team with a clear message for robert mueller. And most dire of all, he signalled a major shift on Foreign Policy with the hiring of john bolton, one of the countrys most veirulent war hawks. That coincided with more troubling news about the president. Last night a former playboy model spoke out about what she said was a tenmonth affair with trump. On sunday, well hear from another woman alleging a sexual relationship. Adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Last night, the attorney for daniels sent out this cryptic tweet showing a disc inside a safe. He wrote if a picture is worth a thousand words, how many words is this worth . Later in the show, that lawyer Michael Avenatti will join us here live on hardball. First, about the last 24 hours. Trump removed his National
Fox news motor analysis that we have looking at the questions that we ask voters today and over the past couple of days. And right now doug jones, the democrat is leading in this alabama race. Its too close to call as you just mentioned, but we are seeing kind of a shift that way in the past hour or so. Martha we watched it shift back and forth over the course of the night. And as brett says, we have a raw vote in there, but literally it is a tossup. And if you look at all the different parameters that we are covering, its close to tossup territory or leaning slightly towards jones and a lot of the feedback we are getting, but our numbers show that roy moore is up by a slight amount as we wait for these totals to come in from some of these outstanding counties. Bret i will say there are a few companies were moore underperformed where donald trump performed. He won mike alabama by 28 points over Hillary Clinton and there are a few key counties where moore significantly underperformed. I
Day 432 of the Trump Administration, and President Trump remains uncharacteristically silent over alleged affairs with a porn star and playboy magazine. For a president who normally lacks steely message discipline he is exhibiting steely message discipline through the white house. And officially through the Briefing Room podium. He has denied affairs with Stormy Daniels and karen mcdougal. President trump denies Stormy Daniels allegations and pointed reporters to the president s outside counsel. She was also asked about the president not punching back on this issue. Have you sat down with the president to talk about Stormy Daniels . What has he told you that he wants us to know about on this topic . As i just said, and as weve addressed on a number of times, the president has denied these allegations, i dont have anything further to add you also called him a counter puncher many times. Why has he not punched back on this one. I didnt say he punches back on every single topic. If he did
