Yourself. however, if you compare these numbers, the moderate vote to past republican primaries, the candidate we think of as the moderate candidate in past republican primaries has always cleaned up. if you went back to 2012, newt gingrich was never doing well with the moderate voters, rick santorum was never doing well with the moderates voters. mitt romney and john mccain were cleaning up with them in 2008. we are letting them define themselves but historically the candidate we think of ars the moderate candidate does well with the moderate voters. do we have numbers regarding the ages, the average age of the trump supporter? i look at that rally where he made this announcement about immigration, there were people it seemed from all age groups. you and i both know when you think very conservative, people often assume older and white. again, yeah. another good point. you think of the donald trump. i think the assumption would be it is an older voter. he has been doing well with o ....
Away from the iowa caucuses. so i don t know if we ll necessarily see another republican drop out. but given all the developments in the past week, of course the shootings in san bernardino, you look at donald trump s rise in the polls, one story that s been kind of forgotten, and that is that ben carson has been coming down. as you mentioned, 5% in that cnn/wmur new hampshire poll. there s also a new national usa today /suffolk poll that had him at 10%. even when he was in the 20s and high teens. it is hard to pinpoint what actually ended up causing carson to come down but i would say it s come after all the focus on the san bernardino shootings as well as the paris terror attacks. this also should be mentioned after trump just went after ben carson s chief narrative about his redemption, about almost trying to stab someone. take all those things together and you end up seeing that donald trump is ben carson is down in the polls. mark, you mentioned 50 days until the iowa caucuse ....
A lot of reaction to this. german chancellor angela merkel named time magazine s person of the year. this is the time cover. merkel is the first woman to be recognized individually in almost 30 years. the fourth, by the way, to ever get that a honor. she beat out the leader of isis, the black lives matter movement and donald trump. many thought trump would be number one for making headlines worldwide since jumping into the race for president this summer. here s time magazine s managing editor on why they passed on trump. this year when a lot of world leaders were tested as never before, no one was tested more than her. over and over and over again she was the one who had to step in and address first the economic crisis that could have brought down the eurozone this summer. then refugee crisis this fall. now the return of terror in europe. there s probably a reason time has never put a presidential candidate as person of the year because we know that in the next ....
Laws, laws that say that once you are on the ballot as a republican or a democrat, you can t change parties if you don t win in that election. it is an interesting time right now. we re just waiting and finding the best time to react, the best time to counter attack some of trump s rhetoric. back to the pledge. we know that it is not a contract, it is not binding, but we also know from watching donald trump in this presidential campaign he knows that optics matter. he does everything with a calculated reasoning behind it. he made such a big fuss over this piece of paper that we know is not a binding or legal document for a reason. so what was the reason? he made the fuss to get the headlines at the time. he knows how to get in the news. i think he believes what he believes at the time that he believes it and if he changes his mind next week, he never believed what he believed in the first place. did that make sense to anybody? you can follow along. but he he signed that pledg ....
It s not the christians. it s not the jewish. it s not the buddhists. it s the muslims. you got that on camera, sport? trump s core supporters have been steadfast giving him about 30% of the republican vote in most polls. so sho are these voters? msnbc s steve kornacki is standing by. people can make assumptions about who his supporters are but you have the data. behind it. yeah, some surprising data here. first, just remind you exactly where he stands right now. this is the latest out of new hampshire. this came out last night. this isn t going to measure any effect from this latest controversy but you have donald trump there more than doubling up his nearest rival, marco rubio. you also have in iowa a little bit of a different story. he has fallen behind, trump has, in one poll to ted cruz, leads in two others recently. key thing to keep in mind there though is cruz is the one republican candidate who really isn t attacking donald trump, really isn t criticizing donald trump. ....
