Is voters get to ask questions of these candidates opini. we saw that today with jeb bush. the soap box, he laid out his ideas on policy issues and takes questions from voters. in the meet and greet, he spent about four hours here right out here in the summer heat, talking with people adds theyre going about enjoying their family time here. at the fair. so it is up close access. there was no big security detail. no big -- except the crowd of media you had to get by. bush shook hands and interact...

Of donald trump kind of mania during the debate, which is something that marco rubio is going to have to answer very carefully that scott wakeer already pressed on carefully on the issue of whether he supports any exceptions to abortion. this debate is not over. its been overshadowed unfortunately by all the attention paid to done aldz trump. i think at some point, donald trump, you tried to press him on issues yesterday on the program on iran on womens issues, steve did it on the economy. he ha...

Saying its around 27,000 in los angeles yesterday. so hillary clinton is trying to stay relevant in setting a policy agenda for the democratic party. so she announced her huge student loan policy proposal yesterday, which would basically provide no loan tuition at state public universities and colleges. now that stops short of what sanders and even martin omalley have offered in terms of free debt free higher education across the board. but there is a substantive policy debate happening there. s...

Catty kay, this is, obviously, a real hot button issue, especially for women within it comes to the republican party. did marco rubio do enough to deflect what hillary clinton said, which i thought was 100%. everyone was looking at the shiny candy and werent listening to the real story on stage. >> reporter: its interesting, my car, we are amidst all the distraction caused by donald trump, there is actually a substantive debate going on, on issues like abortion, like college loan payments betwee...

>> i think donald trump is the only hope this country has. the countrys in bad shape. its upside down. >> in america were too used to the political class, he brings that edge where he doesnt appeal to donors. he can be his own donor. >> and what were hearing from them is that some of them at least would like to hear more from the policy issues. i spoke to a couple of young guys, 19-year-old guys saying theyre looking to come here tonight and to hear him say some specifics on what he plans to do,...

Good will in new hampshire. he won before. rick perry has none of. that he came into this race in some ways better prepared than he was in 2012 also with the huge cloud of 2012 hanging over him when he so badly under performed expectations. he in a race where a lot of people have raised extraordinary amounts of money. he has not been so skechl. so far his performance more competent than some of the worst graering mistakes he made in 2012. hes not exciting for voters very far. he did not break th...

Going to be able to specify and articulate details about poms policies that make a difference, not just a broad-based emotional response to them? >> absolutely. he is going to have to really show where he stands on very key issues. and i know for a fact that his campaign is hiring some of the best policy analysts out there. and hes going to be able to hone his message. but there are a lot of campaigns that havent done that. i went to jindals website and bushs website. i didnt see very clear posi...

Earlier kind of stealthily under the radar, they are going way right on abortion in a way its going to have to pay for i think in the general election. i think its going there on imdprax with the exception of jeb bush and on health care, on a voter of issues on the iran deal. its gone there. and you know the thing that fascinates me is how well the protest candidates are doing in the republican race. donald trump, ben carson, carly fiorina, who is not a politician. i would include ted cruz, who ...

Although i agree with joe when he said this morning that he didnt think that trump did a very good job on the debate stage. but i thought it was amazing this morning that after 72 hours of being pummeled for his remarks regarding women, megyn kelly and others, that when hes finally given the opportunity to address womens issues in a substantive policy driven way he said, eh, ill talk about it later. well, no, this was your opportunity to change the topic and shift it more towards positives inste...

He didnt seem to acknowledge him. he seemed to focus more on the policy issues at hand. that made him seem more statesman like. early reaction seems to imply marco rubio gained a lot from the first debate. >> i want to quote when rand paul said. he jumped in there in the middle of donald trumps first answer about this pledge to fidelity to the republican party. rand paul didnt wait for anyone to invite him in. and what he said was hes already hedging his bet on the clintons. he was playing on ...
