Then those people who were loyal to the tough guy will then be loyal to you. >> but stuart, i think that this is where we have to actually have a conversation on race. cruz cant do that to trump because the majority of his supporters are not necessarily embracing cruz as an hispanic, but as a tea partier. if he were to do that, folks would all of a sudden see him as being defensive to the very core of what a lot of the trump supporters are. and if we dont actually discuss that dynamic between cr...

The advantage of taking him on frontal, but they may want to wait to see how iowa and new hampshire shake out before they switch the strategy. >> and one thing is that is interesting is that it is not an all-out attack, but in the debate they did not say mr. t m trump, but they said donald or th that, and we are going to be bringing down the respectability factor a a little bit. you are one of your tears sfwlcht and donald trump is larger than life, a nd he has brought something to the race that...

Todd. were now just seven weeks away from the iowa caucuses. while its never been the friendliest turf for the republican party establishment, this time around is turning out to be an even tougher haul than usual. four separate polls show trump and cruz as the solid front-runners in the hawkeye state. the latest poll from quinnipiac university shows them neck and neck at 27%. they both leave rubio by double-digits. and in new hampshire, the plot gets thicker. a divided establishment in the grani...

Cruz a boost? >> one, youre seeing dr. ben carson drop in both of these polls. nationally and in iowa by double digits. secondly, i think that voters see ted cruz as a credible candidate who is also anti-establishment. hes someone who is not afraid to take on his party. weve seen him do it a number much times in d.c., particularly during the budget battles. when you look at iowa, he is clearly resonating with evangelicals. a number of factors working in his favor. thats why were seeing donald tr...

Trump take credit about the national conversation about the refugee crisis. because he brought it up. >> yes, trump is the most uniquely positioned candidate on immigration, a border and the syrian refugees who a month ago he said there are a disproportionate number of men coming. he would send them back and is way ahead on the curve. >> and it is the incompetence of the government. he talks about a government getting nothing done on this and he contrasts himself as a can-do person. and all of t...

But if you break it down among independents, ben carson is actually beating her by double-digits, 37-43%. that struggle with independent voters, we talked about the great october that hillary clinton had. its certainly true with democratic voters. shes expanded her lead there, but still some work to do with independents. >> and i think what we have to look for here is she has a trust gap. this has been something that has come up repeatedly in numerous polls. hillary clinton had to do more than j...

That. this is still a very fluid campaign. >> theres no doubt. very quickly, only six candidates, bill, got double-digit support when you combine first and second choice. trump and carson. cruz and rubio, bush and fiorina. safe to say those are the six, its only one of those six to be the nominee? if you havent broken into double-digits now, when will you? >> ive been through iowa, new hampshire, and south carolina. we have three early campaigns. thats why we do them in the small states. we alwa...
