Jeb bush start to take him on in any substantial way? he did go down and criticize him. he went to the red state convention that trump was disinvited to and criticized again donald trump for his tone, his comments about megyn kelly. what does jeb bush do? i think the criticism of jeb bush that donald trump is lobbying, that he lacks energy and passion. thats credible criticism and it is criticism that you hear from sort of republican pundits and strategists who say this is a guy, bush, who rolle...

It was a stream of consciousness like this speech but the message was, trust me. because im a success and i want america to succeed and i want you to succeed. and for right now, if you look at the audience and you talk to people who are trump supporters, that seem to be enough. i dont know how long that will last. his opponents will start attack from the right as they started doing today saying hes an imposter. he is not a real republican. he will have to answer them. but no invective as dana wa...

Paul can say a different set of rules. her critics will say she lives by a different set of rules. >> thats right. she decided to use a private server in january 2009, she made the decision for whatever reason. she said it was convenience. thats why this is still being discussed and thats why it will be discussioned for however long. fair or not, it is reality. and they are accepting that by finally handing over the server. >> i worked in the government. i think everybody who works in the govern...

Republicans say theyre less comfortable with donald trumps controversy. 23% say theyre more comfortable. thats a big number. and moving on to new hampshire. 41% say they like some of trumps ideas but they dont think he has the temperament. lacks the temperament to be president of the united states. so thats 70%. 41 plus 29. 70% of new hampshire republicans say i dont support him at all or he doesnt have the temperament to be president. >> back in 2012, we saw it change pretty significantly. has ...

It is early. there are six months until any vote here. donald trump has had saturation media coverage and universal name recognition and this is a large field. that has yielded the result that weve seen. i think it will be important for republicans to confront him sooner rather than later. his brand is toxic for the party. the longer this goes, the more likely he is to pursue the third party candidacy which i think will be the ultimate problem for the party. >> you think the longer he is out on ...

Then i think that worst outcome for republicans becomes less likely. >> do you agree with michael that the idea that republicans have to basically, if they want to try to weaken trump now, or even get him out of the race, they have to start hitting him harder and sooner? >> i dont. michael has written an awfully good column and i think everyone should read it. but i sense, anderson, trump is defying gravity. as you said last night. he is going to come down. if the republicans get, attack him, it...

Theyre worried about my tone. i should be toned down. >> first speech since the gop debate. cnns sara murray is there for us tonight. describe the scene around you that youre seeing. >> reporter: this is a very fired up crowd, anderson, tonight for donald trump. people are stomping on the bleexers. theyre cheering. at one point he got a standing ovation when he was talking about building a wall and securing the border in mexico. people throwing back a couple beers and glasses of wine while they ...

To a person begin putting forward what they believe. what their agendas are. what they would like to see happen in a way john kasich has, that seem to be a much smarter way. let the press beat up on him. there are plenty of commentators who are going after him day after day after day. i think he to an extent enjoys that. the jousting. he likes the attention. i dont think it is the right strategy for all the republican candidates to force him out of the race right now. >> what about that? do you ...

Gop nominee. >> we had roger stern on the program. and i dont want to get into who fired who, who quit. thats irrelevant. he was saying very positive things about donald trump. >> he and mr. trump still remain friends and they probably will post this, whatever happens. >> he said they have a long history. up and down. but one of the things he was saying which i thought was very interesting. he was saying he didnt believe donald trump should get into this sort of, this fight with megyn kelly and ...
