[ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: bush made his most trump on the issue of eminent domain. >> what donald trump did was to use eminent domain to try to take the property of an elerly woman. >> he wants to be a tough guy. >> how tough is it to take property away from an elderly woman. >> let me talk. quiet. >> how tough is it? [ crowd booing ] >> a lot of times. that's all of his donors and special interests out there. it's what it is. [ crowd booing ] >> reporter: that's right. donald trump went after the audience. i have never seen that in a debate before. he has a solid, double-digit lead here in new hampshire. but remember, george. new hampshire voters are famous for changing their minds and deciding at the very last minute. >> yeah, a third of them have not made up their mind yet. donald trump joins us now. welcome back mr. trump. what did you think about last night? >> i loved it. it was great debate. we had some fun. i had a great time. i'm happy with the results. it's terrific. >> you had the back and forth with jeb bush on eminent domain. side. vera coking. let me explain it first. vera coking. you wanted and the casino development authority of new jersey wanted to take her house casino. >> not a parking lot. you fought it for three years. the state supreme court said benefit from the seizures and the deal was analogous to giving trump a blank check for future development. on the property for casino hotels. >> good. and you know what i did? i let the court stand as opposed to going higher up. >> well, it was the state supreme court. >> we could have gone higher. i decided not to do it. not to pursue it. >> a three-year fight. >> doesn't matter. we could have gone a different way. i offered her a lot of money. she sold the house for much less than what i offered. eminent domain is a very important thing. jeb bush doesn't understand what it means. if you look into the bush family. ago. they used eminent domain for the stadium in texas where they own i guess a piece of the texas rangers. >> that was george w. bush. >> that doesn't matter. it was the bush family. they used private eminent domain. he didn't tell anybody this. he probably doesn't know. i don't think he knows what eminent domain is. i just found that out about five minutes ago. >> so no second thoughts about your position at all? >> eminent domain is important. you wouldn't have highways, roadways, bridges, hospitals. you wouldn't have anything without it. the keystone pipeline. everybody wants that. if you're a conservative, you want the keystone pipeline. they have a whole section of eminent domain. when they write up, the whole thing, on the keystone. they have a whole section. >> the crowd wasn't on your side. >> the crowd was on my side except they were all friends of mine that were donors and special interests and lobbyists. some of them worked for me in the past. actually, it was a very -- it shows how broken the system is. the people in that audience were the people that were supporting all of the candidates. i'm the only candidate not taking money. i'm not taking money. >> you had no supporters in the >> i had supporters. i had 20 tickets. they gave me 20 tickets. all of the people in the crowd, 90% of them were people that gave to the various candidates. and mostly to bush. bush got $128 million he's nowhere. he spent over $100 million on this failed campaign of his. he's nowhere. those people were in the audience. rubio said, he said, why does nobody get response but bush? i just think it's really showing the system. when you have somebody like me, where i don't take money, where i'm a self-funder, people really appreciate that. that's why i brought it out last night. it was a good point, i think. but i brought it out last night. >> waterboarding front and center last night. you said, i would bring back waterboarding and i would brink back a hell of a lot worse than what did you have in mind? living in a world where in the middle east they're cutting people's heads off. they're chopping we talk about foley, james foley, what a wonderful young man. boom, they're chopping heads. i said, yes, i would bring back waterboarding. i would make it a hell of a lot worse. >> what did you have in mind? >> i had in mind going worse than waterboarding. it's enough. we have a country under siege it's under siege from a people. we're like living in medieval times. if i have it to do, if it's up to me, i would absolutely bring back waterboarding. if it's tougher than that, i would bring it back, too. >> so as president, you would authorize torture? >> i would absolutely authorize something beyond waterboarding. it will be effective. if we need information. george, you have our enemy cutting heads off of christians and plenty of others, but the hundreds. by the thousands. >> do we win by being more like them? >> yes, i'm sorry. you have to do it that way. i'm not sure everybody agrees with me. i guess a lot of people don't. we're living in a time that's as evil as any time that has ever been. when i was a young man, i studied medieval times. chopped off heads. >> so we're going to chop off heads? >> we're going to do things beyond waterboarding. i thought ted's answer was very tentative. he gave a tentative answer. if we have to, we're going to have to do more. when you have conditions like that, i would say absolutely i would approve waterboarding. >> the law says they have to follow the army field manual. it prohibits waterboarding. you would try to overturn the law? >> you reclassify. you reclassify. see what happens. i would certainly approve waterboarding. they laugh at us. our enemies laugh at us. they say, waterboarding? they don't view that as real torture. they say waterboarding and they chop off heads. they think we're so stupid. you no idea. the enemy we're fighting. no wonder they're doing so well. with this kind of thinking, that's why they're doing so well. >> there was an issue that came up last night. the iraq war. fact-checkers have gone through and haven't seen any stapletements from you until after the war began. >> in 2003-2004, i was against it. i wasn't a politician. i was a businessman. >> i interviewed you in 1999. you were thinking of running for president then. >> i was, actually. maybe i should have done it. i like this one better. i like this time better. but the fact is, in 2003, 2004, i was very much opposed to the iraq war. i said it would destabilize the middle east. it did. >> let's talk about another issue. a social issue on voters' minds right now. last sunday, on fox news sunday, you said you would strongly consider appointing supreme court justices to overturn the ruling. later this week, you said this to a reporter in new england. >> when president trump is in office, can we look for more forward motion on equality for gays and lesbians? >> you can. we're going to bring people together. other people have their thing. we have to bring all people together. if we don't, we're not going to have a country anymore. >> just last sunday, you said you would consider appointing justices -- >> we're talking about bringing people together. i would appoint justices -- it would take a long time, to be honest. >> but you want them to overturn the supreme court decision. >> i would appoint them and see how they vote. >> how does that move us to equality? >> we'll find out. i mean, we're going to find out. there's a lot of people that want to see that. more important than anything else to me, this country is so divided right now, as per her question, this country is so totally divided. it's probably almost never been as divided. as it is right now. we have to bring it together. >> a majority of americans support the idea of gay marriage. wouldn't it be divisive? >> it's been determined. we're going to look at judges. they have to be great judges. conservative judges who are going to see how they stand depending on their views. that would be my preference. >> where do you want them to stand? >> i would prefer they stand against. we'll see what happens. it depends on the judge. >> how does that move us toward equality for gays and lesbians? >> well, i think what will happen. and look, george. very simple. we're going to bring our country together. we're going the unify our country. we're going to do whatever we have to do. i'll put the absolute best judges in position. we're going to see what their views are. i will make the determination >> what do you say to gays and lesbians that say overturning the country? it's a long way off. >> what is happening here in new hampshire? >> it's going well. we're doing well. our ground forces are good. i had a good debate last night. >> i came in first or second, depending on how you want to count the carson vote. i came in first or second out of >> you came in second. >> well, i'll tell you what. if you add up the thousands of votes that were added on to cruz, you'll see what happens. i think i might have come in better than second. but it doesn't matter. i think second was a very good finish. rubio came in third. everybody said what a great job he did. i came in second, they said, oh he had a bad performance. i said, why is that bad? i came in second, he came this third. he was good and i wasn't. >> marco rub wroe is coming up. what happened with him last night? >> i don't know. he had a rough time. you know, we'll see what happens. we have an interesting two days ahead. i wanted to get by the debate. people said i won the debate. almost everybody said i won the debate. even you said i did well. and we'll see what happens. >> who is standing between you and the nomination right now? >> i don't know. it's a long way to go. i see the poll numbers. they don't mean anything to me. i just don't know about polls. i don't know if they're accurate. they interview 300 people and come up with a brilliant poll. to me, the people of new hampshire have to get out, have going to vote for trump because i'm going to do a good job. >> see you on the trail. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. up next, just getting started. hillary clinton coming up. she had a big comeback four year ago in new hampshire. can she do it again? marco rubio is next, taking on the critics of his tough night. look, the wolf was huffing and puffing. like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe. it can be hard to get air out, which can make it hard to get air in. so i talked to my doctor. she said... symbicort could help you breathe better, starting within 5 minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. symbicort helps provide significant improvement of your lung function. symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort contains formoterol. medicines like formoterol increase the risk of death from asthma problems. symbicort may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, you should tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. symbicort could mean a day with better breathing. watch out, piggies!

"this week" is live in manchester, new hampshire. we'll be right back with the man in the spotlight, he's right here, marco rubio.new hampshire. we'll be right back with the man in the spot light, he's right here, marco rubio.tore anything but simple. so finally, i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your dermatologist about humira. and let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that barack obama doesn't know what he's doing. we're not facing a president that doesn't know what he's doing. [ bell dings ] let's dispel with the fiction that barack obama doesn't know what he's doing. he knows exactly what he's doing. ( [ bell dings ] anybody that believes barack obama is not doing what he's doing on purpose doesn't believe what they're dealing with. >> democrats circulating that video overnight. what went wrong? >> actually, i would pay them to keep running that clip. that's what i believe. passionately. it's one of the reasons i'm not running for re-election to the senate and i'm running for president. this notion and this idea that somehow, oh this was an accident. obamacare was not an accident. dodd frank was not an accident. the deal with iran is not an accident. >> you're getting pounded for repeating that speech. >> well, look, we raised more money in the first hour of that debate last night than any other debate. as far as that message, i hope they keep running it. i'm going the keep saying it. it's true. has he hired incompetent people? absolutely. when it comes to what he's trying to do to america it's part of a plan. he said he's wanted to change he's doing it in a way that is robbing us of everything that makes us special. i'm going to keep saying that. it's the truth. it's at the core of our campaign. >> after chris christie called you out for 25-second canned speeches, you repeated it again. he said, there you go again. it was not a good moment for you, was it? >> it's what i believe. it's what i'll continue to say. this is the greatest country in the history of mankind because of a set of principles. barack obama wants us to abandon them. he's undermining the constitution. undermining our standing in the world. weakening america. apologizing for us on the global stage. if we elect someone like that for the next four years, think it may be too late for america to turn around. >> lindsey graham, supporting jeb bush now, said the case for marco rubio being able to be commander in chief took a hit last night. >> he's supporting jeb bush. had more experience or a better understanding of the national security issues of this country than i do. and that is the most important thing that the president does. the president doesn't run the economy. the president has the to be commander in chief. >> even though you have never been in an executive position? >> no one on that stage has a better understanding of foreign policy and that i have. period. i think i demonstrated that last night. and throughout the campaign. >> you just heard donald trump on the issue of waterboarding and torture, he would authorize something even worse. that sometimes we do have to mirror our enemies. what do you make of that? >> i don't know what it means so i can't make much of it. we shouldn't be discussing specific tactics. it allows a terrorist, literally, to plan for how they'll be interrogated to avoid -- >> you would reserve the right to order waterboarding? >> we're not interrogating terrorists right now. there is no one being sent to guantanamo. beyond that, i would tell you, we have to understand. enforcement investigation. a law enforcement investigation is about collecting evidence for prosecution. a terrorism investigation is about finding out information to prevent something from happening. to prevent an attack or to target others involved in actively plotting. so you have to use different tactics. we're not going to discuss those. suffice it to say, we're going to comply with whatever a civilized nation would do. you have to treat terrorists differently than a street criminal. >> you got called out on the issue of abortion. you don't support exceptions for rape and incest. jeb bush said it's a tough sell to tell a pro-life mother, whose daughter had been raped, that she would just have to accept that as a sad fact. what do you say to that? >> abortion is not a political issue to me. if jeb wants to make it a political issue, that's his right. i have supported laws with exceptions. the 20-week abortion ban. >> but it's not what you believe. >> i do require an exception for life of the mother. because i'm pro life. number two as i have said, if they pass a law in congress with exceptions, i'll sign it. i want to save lives. broader point i've made is i believe all human life is worthy of the protection of our laws. i deeply and personally believe that. i'm not going to change my position on something that is so deep in me in order to win an election. >> what do you say to that mom? what do you tell her? >> it's a terrible situation. a crisis pregnancy as a result of something as horrifying as that. i'm not saying it's easy. it's a horrifying thing. it's unimaginable, quite frankly. i get it. i really do. that's why the issue is so difficult. i believe a human being, an unborn child has a right to live, irrespective of the circumstances they were conceived in. a majority of americans don't agree with me on that. that's why any law that limits exceptions. and i'll sign them with exceptions. i personally believe all human life is worthy of the protection of our laws. >> immigration the most talked about issue online last night. you're getting a hit for beinon immigration and for running away from it. was it a mistake to forge the original deal? >> i went to washington to solve problems. immigration is a huge problem in florida. i saw the opportunity to do the best we could in the hopes that the house would take it up and make it even better. happened in the senate. did not happen in the house. that's not the way we're going to do it when i'm president. we have a majority of republicans in the house and the senate, we're going to do it differently. the way i want to do it. >> if that's the best you could do, you would sign it? >> i don't think that law, the way it was constructed, could have ever passed. i think, most certainly, you look at the house and the people don't want to move on immigration until you can prove to them that illegal immigration is under control. we are not going to be able to do this comprehensively. as president, we will not. the first thing we're going to do is secure our border. until the border is secure, nothing else is going to happen on immigration. anyone who believes otherwise is delusional or not being honest. >> no regrets on being part of the gang of eight? >> i went up there to solve problems. immigration is a big problem. it's harder today, worse today, than three years ago. >> your opponents had no trouble last night saying you're not ready to be commander in chief. straight question. do you think donald trump is ready to be commander in chief? >> i think for him to pass that threshold, he'll have to show in-depth knowledge of the foreign policy issues before us. up to now, he's not done that. >> he's not ready right now? >> he's new to politics. i think he has time to learn about these things. he's running out of time. about north korea. this is a huge threat. the leader of north korea is a lunatic. he possesses long-range missiles that are probably already capable of reaches the united states. most likely able to reach guam, hawaii. and this is not an emergent issue. but it's a dangerous one. he better have an in-depth understanding of that. on your first day in office, you cannot predict what issue will confront you. i know this. of all the people on the stage last night still running for president, none of them has more experience or a better understanding or has proven better judgment on these issues than i have. >> right now, donald trump doesn't have that readiness? >> i don't think donald trump has answered questions. he didn't know what the nuclear triad was a few weeks ago. in one of our other debates. and even last night, the most he could say about north korea was something about china and leverage. i'm not here to pick on other republicans. i'll let the voters make that if you want to be commander in chief, whether it's donald or anybody else running, you better show you understand these issues in depth. and you have good knowledge. >> people writing that you have a three, two, one, strategy. >> you have never heard anybody in my campaign say that. we want as many votes and delegates as we can. third. we had as many delegates as the second place finisher. and one less delegate than the first place finisher. same strategy in new hampshire. we want to get as many people to vote for me as well. we created a campaign that will i feel optimistic where we're going to be once the delegates are tallied. once and especially once the race is narrowed to two or three >> and nothing from last night >> absolutely not. in the first hour than any other debate. >> thank you for joining us. that's it for the republicans. "the roundtable" on last night's winners and losers. and where things are headed in this wild race.rs. and where we are in the race. i thought activia wasn't for me. until i realized how much our digestive systems handle during winter. 90 stressful days juggling hectic schedules. over 40 meals of heavy comfort foods like baked mac & cheese. no wonder after all that our digestive systems can act up. so try the activia two week challenge! enjoying activia twice a day for two weeks may help reduce the frequency of bloating, gas, discomfort or rumbling. try it! it works in two weeks or it's free. and we're going to be right back with hillary clinton. can she repeat history here in new hampshire with a comeback? 20 points back right now. here in new hampshire with a comeback? 20 points back right now. enough pressure in here for ya? i'm gonna take mucinex sinus-max. too late, we're about to take off. these dissolve fast. they're new liquid gels. you realize i have gold status? mucinex sinus-max liquid gels. dissolves fast to unleash max strength medicine. let's end this. the future belongs to the fast. and to help you accelerate, we've created a new company... one totally focused on what's next for your business. the true partnership where people,technology and ideas push everyone forward. accelerating innovation. accelerating transformation. accelerating next. hewlett packard enterprise.

[ cheers and applause ] this preferential treatment. [ cheers and applause ] enough is enough! >> bernie sanders on "saturday night live" last night. we're joined by his opponent, former secretary of state hillary clinton. she joins us from manchester. madame secretary, thank you for joining us this morning. you had your own turn on "saturday night live," how did he do? >> i didn't get to see it. it's always a fun experien. i'm sure he did great. it's a wonderful forum. it's a crash course in trying to figure out how to do live tv and, i had a great time doing it. >> we also had, of course, the republican debate last night here at st. anselm's. marndco rubio called you out on the issue of abortion. take a look. >> why doesn't the media ask hillary clinton why she believes that all abortions should be legal, even on the due date of why don't they ask hillary clinton why she believes that partial-birth abortion, a gruesome procedure outlawed in the country, she thinks that's a fundamental right. they're the extremists. i can't wait to expose them in a general election. >> going to get exposed in a general election? >> you know, george, um -- i -- it's really -- quite -- sad. to see what senator rubio is becoming in this campaign. everybody understands that he is diving as far right as he possibly can. you know, i've been on record for many years about where i stand on abortion. how it should be safe and legal. and i have the same position that i've had for a very long time. but what's really going on here is an effort by the republicans, to keep pushing as far as they can to overturn roe v. wade. to defund planned parenthood. attacks that are really extreme. >> are there any situations you would accept on late-term abortions? >> i have been on the record for this a long time. life and health of the mother, rape and incest have to be taken into account. when he raises the, you know, very, very difficult issue of late-term abortion, he conveniently overlooks the fact that there are medical reasons. there are health-related reasons. i've met women who have had to face this excruciating choice. this is not something that anyone that i've ever met with enters into without the deepest thought, the most careful consideration. and, i remember an event back in the '90s where we sat and talked with some of the women who -- had to make a very hard decision. you know, it's just so like senator rubio are trying to politicize these kinds of very difficult concerns. and i don't think he should be allowed to get away with that. >> you had your own debate this week with bernie sanders as well. you challenged him to come up with evidence that contributions from wall street every changed your position. he circulated something from senator warren. here's what senator warren had to say. >> one of the first bills that came up after she was senator clinton was the bankruptcy bill. >> and. >> she voted in favor. she has taken money from the groups and more to the point, she worries about them as a constituency. >> how do you respond to that charge? >> well, i'm glad you asked me about it. because this is one of these innuendo insinuation charges that the sanders campaign is engaging in. >> that was senator warren, though. but if you had played the entire quote, what you would have heard her say. she and i worked together in 2000 to stop a bankruptcy bill that we both believed was very harmful. when i got to the senate in 2001, one of the first big votes there was on a version of the bankruptcy bill. i was deluged by women's groups and children's advocate groups to do everything i could to make sure that child support and women's precarious financial situation in case of divorce or not being able to get the kind of funding they needed from a partner or a spouse in bankruptcy would not be endangered. and it was. the current -- that bill was making it a very low priority. so i did go to work on behalf of all of these women's groups and children's groups, because they needed a champion. i got that bill changed. in return, it had nothing to do and i resent deeply any effort by the sanders campaign to so imply. it had to do with trying to get a deal that would protect women. let me finish, george. this has been bandied about. i want to set the record straight. so then, three years later, part of what senator warren said, you played, you didn't play the whole thing, because we have been allies. i faced a tough decision. and i stood up for women and children. i went to the senate floor, said that was exactly what i was doing. the bill didn't pass. it never became law. when the next bill came up, 2005, women's issues were taken care of, because i had made that a point back in 2001. and so, then, i was against that bill. i didn't get a chance to actually vote against it because bill was in the hospital having a heart procedure. but i put a statement out i was against it. i'm happy to set this record straight. i want to once again call out the sanders campaign, which positive campaign. they've been quite artful in raising questions and trying to cast doubts about my record. and i really am not going to sit and take it anymore. i have a public record, i have never ever been influenced in a view or a vote by anyone who has given me any kind of funding. and -- so, i'm just going to keep setting the record straight. >> in her book, senator warren said the bill was essentially the same but hillary rodham clinton was not. big banks were part of her constituency. she wanted their support, they wanted hers. including the part -- >> george, look. i have the greatest -- i have the greatest respect for senator warren. as i said, we did work together. i faced a choice. i could have said to the women who have been my advocates for 30 year, i'm sorry. i'm now in the senate. but you know, i can't help you. nobody else was helping them. they were desperate to get help. they were afraid child support would be below credit card debt. damaged. i could have said, i can't do that. because somebody in ten years might say that something else was going on. that's not the way i work. they came to me. i said this isout rajs. i went to the floor. i lobbied to get it changed. and, as part of getting the change from both democrats and republicans, who were leading that legislation, they said if we change the bill at the last minute to take account of the issues you're raising, about women and children, which they clearly had not made a priority before i showed up, then, you know, you have to say you'll vote for it. it was, look, that's what you have to do. i swallowed hard. i said okay. it was also the case, it didn't get passed. i got what i needed into the bill. it stayed in the bill, even in a bad version that i posed in 2005. thank you for the opportunity to set the record straight. >> in the debate the other night, you said you would look into whether or not to release the transcripts of your speeches to financial groups. have you made up your mind? want to say. let everybody who has ever given a speech to any private group under any circumstances release everything. we'll release them at the same time. i don't mind being the subject in republican debates, the democratic primary. it goes with the territory. i've been around long enough. at some point, you know, these rules need to apply to everybody. and there are a bunch of folks, including my opponent who has given, you know, speeches to groups. people on the other side who have given speeches to groups. if this is now going to be a new standard, then it should apply to everybody. then i'll be happy to look into it further. >> madame secretary. thank you for your time this morning. >> great to talk to you, george. thanks. we'll be back with "the roundtable." what do they make of last here?om here? i'm proud of my record. by the way, i like kasich's record, too. he's a good governor. >> i trust kasich and christie to build the infrastructure. the roads of their states than washington, d.c. >> jeb is right. if you delay and you wait, the washington operators will take you down. >> there's so much that could be done. but i don't trust washington to do it. i trust the state capitals to be the source of innovation and >> best night yet for the governors on the stage last night. across the country. let's talk about the debate. where the campaign goes from here on our "roundtable." joined by -- cokie roberts, matthew dowd, donna brazile, and bill kristol. let me begin with you, matthew. night. you saw marco rubio handing it this morning. he said he wouldn't do anything different. >> i think he went in winning every debate coming up until iowa. and he lost the most important debate in his momentum campaign. that stalls any momentum he had. in in. >> that serious? >> yes. his ability to get second place is now in peril. i think the second thing, more importantly than that, is this kind of thing -- is this kind of thing a virus that he can't get rid of? over the course of the campaign. snow will everybody see him through this lens, and is he prepared? and is he only a canned speech man? >> and, you know, the point that they were going after him on, the governors, especially christie were going after him on and that you heard in the sound bite from jeb bush is a very important one. the truth is, up until 2008, we only elected two sitting senators ever president. and then in 2008, there were two senators running against each other. so you had to pick a senator. the united states senate. so this is -- always a problem for these guys. they don't have accomplishments to point to. you're in the senate, you have to cast votes. and you do cast votes often on one side and the other of something because of the way legislation works. and so, the combination of the fact that he has that senate around his neck, and the first term senate around his neck, and that he keeps saying the same thing over and over again, people are saying, what are you good at? >> is that what voters see? he said he raised a lot of money last night. he has people that want to watch him take on barack obama. is this something he just can come back from easily or is it like rick perry in the oops moment in 2008? >> david french had a good piece. rick perry with the horrible moment in 2012, too. will it linger forever, sort of like a virus. on the other hand, mitt romney had a horrible debate in south carolina. wasn't releasing his income tax forms. he lost south carolina to newt gingrich. then he came back. the race will go on. i think if you're christie, certainly kasich or bush. i think kasich will do well here in new hampshire, incidentally. you don't think, i'm not getting out after two debates. >> all three of them can stay? >> they can. maybe whichever runs the lowest will get out. i think in the last week -- one week ago in iowa, trump was supposed to win iowa. cruz wins it. no bump. maybe he's another huckabee or santorum. wins iowa but can't keep going. rubio has momentum. oops, he stumbled. all thee of them have shown enough in the way of flaws, bush or maybe christie, i would say, why not stay in? isn't there another debate saturday? >> marco rubio was supposed to be the rock star to transcend all of this, what i call messiness of the republican party. he came out with a prerecorded stump speech in his head. he couldn't hit pause to respond to chris christie. chris christie prosecuted marco rubio. and he kept coming back with the stump speech. and his stump speech was -- unlike obama, and then he stalled. i think it was bad night. >> he had ads on exactly the same. that same clip is on tv over and over. >> donald trump showed a lot of different sides of himself last night. he had to be helped with the fact that besides the exception nobody else took him on. >> i think it was a perfect storm with donald trump and john kasich. trump came in with a lead. he wanted to recover from the iowa loss. he gets the guy coming up close to him gets battered around in the course of the debate. he had a few shots. he basically stayed on even keel in the course of this. if we go into election night on tuesday, we may announce that new hampshire picks presidents and they're going to pick a democratic socialist on one side if that happens, and a reality tv star on the other side. but new hampshire may be picking those two people as who they think is president. >> right now, they're both ahead. as well. no one touched him after the >> i guess it was a lot of reagan last night. reagan's 11th commandment. but cruz may not be a -- >> i don't think marco rubio feels that way. >> no, nobody turned the other cheek on rubio. cruz didn't want to perform. he wanted to get out of the way. kasich, you know, we get asked all the time on the democratic side, who do you most fear? i don't fear anybody. but, kasich last night, he talked as if he was looking past new hampshire into the fall. he talked to i think -- the fears of republicans, but the hopes of many americans. so i think he's one to watch leaving this state. >> more people stay in, bill kristol. the more people that stay in, the better it is for trump, isn't it? >> maybe. but trump lost iowa. the late deciders went against trump in a big way. i think he'll underperform his poll number. in new hampshire. i don't think it's out of the question that john kasich could make it a close race. i think he'll become, of the governors, the one with the best chance here. >> what does that mean? he doesn't have a lot of money. he has to build an organization. if you put all his chepsips here in this state? >> i think we feel this field has to get narrowed. i'm not sure the voters believe i don't think each of the candidates believes that. i think cruz could do well here. and be pretty strong. maybe this year's different. seems like it's been different from previous years. here's a couple of facts. every time since the modern primary system, '72, republicans have nominated someone who won either iowa or new hampshire. you have to be first or second in both parties to win the nomination. trump is a weird wild card. cruz is sitting well. that is not nothing. coming in first or second in new hampshire would be big. >> and he goes into much more fertile territory for him as we go south. >> march 1st. >> right. the other thing is the rules have made it easier for people to stay in. you don't get to a winner-take-all primary until the middle of march. and you can have these superpacs to make it easier for people to stay in. because they don't have to raise the money. >> march 15th, florida and ohio. both on the same day, both if rubio, kasich, bush stay in, and split those states, this could go straight to the convention. >> i think this goes for sure into april. even if jeb bush finishes fourth or fifth, he's going to go on. because he basically says, look, this guy didn't perform well. through the course of this race, he's not going to perform well. i'm the guy that can step up and do that. even if kasich finishes second here, i don't think he has the resources to have a full impact by march 1st. maybe later on. both sides of this, democratic and republican, is going to go long into the spring and maybe early summer. >> -- agreed to debates through may. >> and right now in the latest poll here in new hampshire. has 58. bernie sanders, 35. hillary clinton, 23-point lead for bernie sanders. hard to see how she can come back. >> the clintons are 1 for 2 in terms of winning new hampshire. but they're 2 for 2 in terms of spinning new hampshire. close the generation gap. clearly, she has to expand the gender gap. if she can do that, i think it will be a ten-point defeat. they have a ground game here. they're going to continue to move those voters who are undecided along the massachusetts border. they'll give bernie sanders the western, the northern part. they're going to make this part of the state their battle ground. >> if you had said six months ago, i think hillary clinton can spin a 10-point defeat to a 74-year-old socialist bernie sanders here in new hampshire, it's amazing. >> it's real, it's real. >> i don't know why everybody assumes, well, once we get through the first two states, where sanders has been 50-50 with clinton, suddenly it will all change. >> oh, it's not. it's not. bernie sanders could be the democratic nominee. it's a fact. >> and you're inviting. >> george and donna -- sanders are the nominees in the major parties, welcome michael
