He was a birther and this idea that barack obama was the other and not truly american and therefore, didnt deserve to be the president of the united states. that is how he came to prominence most recently in 2011. he floated a run and ran in 2016 and won. you have millions of americans who are fine with what he says and what he does and the ways he stokes a racial division. it benefits him. this is -- so far we have seen this to be a winning strategy for donald trump. >> what about the party? yo...

Been. in terms of new hampshire voters overall favorable views toward him, he ranks at or near the top. so the question is, will the "union leader" in an effort to help governor christie, who has turned around his own favorable numbers to his credit and hard work, will they go after marco rubio and try to tamp him down in an effort to help governor christie? because i agree with shira, its all about finishing in the money for an establishment candidate in new hampshire. and even if donald trump ...

Up? >> and i thought this was interesting that afterwards he was fine with the debate. part of the frustration i think is like okay, you want to talk policy then lets talk policy. but that is not what has been essentially valued thus far in the republican party. >> there was a hilarious thing, though, about kasich as truth teller which is that he has his own tax plan which he has his own projections for. he says im going to cut taxes massively and by 2025 tax revenues will be 250 billion higher ...

So theyre spending a lot of time watching. its frustrating. here he is on carson and trumps tax fantasy. take a listen. >> these plans would put us trillions and trillions of dollars in debt. i actually have a plan. im the only one on this stage that has a plan that would create jobs, cut taxes, balance the budget, and can get it done because im realistic. you just dont make promises like this. why dont we just give a chicken in every pot while were coming up with these fantasy tax schemes? just...

Six days a week so there is a certain kind of talent there for finding peoples sweet spot. >> yes, bullies tend to be talented at that. heres the thing, youve got a situation though and i think if youre making a smart tactical decision by jeb bush, i think there are people that love the idea of people thinking of this race as donald trump and jeb bush. if those are the two alternatives, if thats the choice thats forced on a republican primary electorate, they think they get the bigger half of th...

With obama care. i agree. thats why if youre asking me personally i would say i wouldnt vote for him as the nominee as a gop nominee. but i would like to see him on a ticket to bring ohio. you want to win. you have to put some of your ideology aside. >> he delivers. you need ohio you need florida. what kind of matrix can you put together? thats why theres been a lot of talk about kasich and rubio together in some combination. guys what do you have to add to this? >> there are now 16 candidates. ...

Identifies with voters. one person put it, there is a midwestern bluntness without a northeastern edge about kasich. some people say he can be prickly at times. well see you who he sells to voters in new hampshire iowa, and nevada. jon: i remember being assigned covering him working for another network before fox news even launched, he was traveling the country as budget committee looking for everyday solutions to help balance the budget. lo and behold he and other members of congress managed to...
