public testimony, this decision by mueller was a forgone conclusion. the evidence of obstruction of justice was so significant, i mean of but certainly you saw it that way. i was you were clear about that. yeah. and i m not saying trump is guilty of it but certainly it merits investigation. here you have someone the head of the united states government saying to his subordinate, stop investigating my friend and then when he doesn t stop investigating his friend, he fires that person, he fires comey and now we have this potential evidence of other people in the government. right. rogers, coats, rogers deputy, who all may have evidence that trump said, look, let s back off this investigation. that s worth investigating for obstruction of justice. coats and rogers when they went before congress, rights, to testify about this, david. they were asked specifically
physical numerical vote was not changed, but the way is the reality is the russians were successful. whether they threw shade or doubt, it clearly must have had an impact. i m not a political analyst, but clearly, i think it seems pretty much a forgone conclusion that some of that wikileaks stuff that came out clearly impacted on you people voted. it seems like we can t get to that point. was this an intelligence failure? where would it rank in your opinion among threats that they ve had to deal with? look, this is from the counter-intelligence world this is clearly at the level of a 9/11 intelligence failure.
tread water. adolfo, i know you want to jump in and talk about the fact melania commented today. they re trying to neutralize this ahead of tomorrow. sure. i have a lot of respect for my friend vicky but this is beyond trump. yes, what trump will do. he s already said he s not going to quit. i want to emphasize as a republican, i am concerned about my party in the future. it s now beyond donald trump and there are mechanisms to deal with this. we are going to lose this election in 2016. before this incident it was uphill. now it s a forgone conclusion. why you see republican officeholders denouncing him and distances themselves from him very, very quickly. it s taking more than that. far more if we salvages house and senate in this cycle and in the future. that s donald trump s strategy but a question whether the republican party will acquiesce or say, no. unguarded dhaumt mirrors the soul. this isn t an incident, a clip
one. it s not like trump is going to concede iowa. i think he can come back in iowa. i don t think it s a forgone conclusion. oh, yeah. and if he wins iowa, think think he thinks and a lot of us think he wins if all. the wall street journal shows donald trump back in the country. but ted cruz is just 5 points behind at 22% after gaining 12 points since late october. marco rubio is in third at 15% and another major droveoff for ben carson, falling 18 points after leading just section weeks ago. can you believe that? yes, i can. be what s the campaign saying? national security. that s j he took that quick trip to jordan. he s going to have to find a way
people. you are not saying that trump actually invited all these people to come to this town hall. it s a town hall this come and ask their questions. scottie, i only have about 30 sects, was that a plant the questioner? i can t determine that. whether it was or wasn t weather it wasn t. i guarantee mr. trump handled this beautifully. he he will handle diplomatic relations just the same way, better than we currently have. woomplet he will leave it right there. scottie and david thank you very much. directly ahead, carly fiorina received rave reviews for g.o.p. debate. a rival says that was a forgone conclusion conclusion. i m going to it will you all about this as this o reilly factor special continues. bring us your aching.
