Of announcing a white house bid. Suzanne malveaux, we are going to go to first. No. It is sunlen serfaty. She is live up first in manchester. No. You are in michigan. It is suzanne that is in manchester. Sunlen, tell us whats going on there . Reporter it is interesting. Pope francis, that controversial moment with donald trump. How he is going to react to it. I want to read to you. Donald trump breaking his silence from thursday. Quote, this is the first time in my life that i have caused controversy by not saying something. If someone made a nasty controversial statement about me to the president , do you think he would come to my rescue . This next almost an excuse as to why he didnt interject. If i would have challenged the man, the media would have accused me of interfering with the mans right of speech, a nowin situation and the last one tweeting, christians need support in our country and around the world. The religious liberty is at stake. Obama has been horrible. I will be great. Here, Everyone Wants to know, will he address these controversial comments . We have heard from some of the candidates already. Martin omalley, the Maryland Democratic candidate. As a leader, their goal is to speak out against it. They need to speak out against comments like this. Sunlen serfaty addressing the issue. We are going to go to manchester, New Hampshire, where Hillary Clinton is speaking. She has just taken the podium. Are we going to win this election in 2016 . Yes, we are. Thank you. My heart is just racing. Thank you for everything you and the state have meant to me and to my family. I am honored to have the support of so many proud New Hampshire democrats and specially your terrific governor. Your amazing senator who used to be governor. Megan and jeannie are women who know how to solve problems. They bring common sense and common purpose to everything they do. I also want to thank congresswoman and all the grass roots organizers and specially volunteers that are working their hearts out for this campaign. I have a great idea. I think i can transport all of you everywhere we go around the country together. As fun as this, as exciting as the atmosphere in here is, we have work to do as democrats. I want to be your partner to build our party here in this state and across our nation to keep our progress going. We have come a long way, havent we, these past 6 1 2 years. Thanks to the hard work and sacrifice lets bring in Ron Brownstein and jeffrey lord. You have been speaking to Hillary Clinton speaking at a democratic rally in New Hampshire. You saw Donald Trumps responses this morning . Whats interesting about his tweets, defending himself. He gets to the allegations against the president being a muslim but he doesnt get to the other comment. We were live on the air on thursday night when that question happened. The questioner talked about muslims in america in general being a problem. He doesnt answer that criticism, does he . No, he doesnt address that at all. This whole exchange is a nice crystalization of the challenge and the problem facing donald trump. A lot of his Core Coalition believes this sort of thing. You look at the last cnnorc poll. 54 of the people that said they were supporting donald trump also said they believe the president is a muslim. He has challenges in that his base is pushing at the boundaries of political dialogue. Noern on the other hand, i think it is a mistake to say he is completely immune from the laws of political gravity. You see a big gap with white collar, educated republicans much less than blue color to la. Only 40 of republicans with a College Degree say he has the temperament and personality to succeed as press. You risk alienating your base. Other republicans are listening and this could seed doubts among them. Donald trump said he is not obligated to respond about questions about the president. He is obligated to stand up to a questioner who makes a broader question of muslims in general as this questioner appeared to do . I dont think there is anything. The implication here and all this mediainduced firestorm, is that it is somehow a slur to say that someone is muslim. To be fair, jeffrey, that was not the point. The questioner said, we have a problem in america. You and i know and ron knows that every other day, when we pick up a newspaper or turn on the television, we are seeing that authorities have unraveled some plot by islamic extremists in this country, all of whom are muslims. It is a simple statement of fact. There is no bias or bigotry to it. You can say you have an islamic extremist problem any more than you can say you have a christian crime because of christians . Christians arent committing crimes because of their religion, are they . Can you fairly paint the whole faith with a brush because of what a tiny percentage of members of that faith do . Thats what the question ner er doing. I find this ex as per rating. In general, i think this is the kind of media. Rush limbaugh has a word for this kind of thing. He calls the media the drivebyes. They come into an area, shoot up the whole place in a media firestorm. Then, they move on to the next one. This is a typical driveby situation. Ron, if you think it is the media, we had Chris Christie criticize and donald trump. This is a telling moment. I think it is a lot of people who support donald trump will see nothing wrong with it. They think it is admirable he is not giving into political correctness. It tends to bind his support. The challenge he creates for the Republican Party is that this really is what we saw from his Announcement Statement on mexicanamericans and undocumented immigrants and the risk is that he essentially portraying a party that is uneasy with the diversity that is transforming america. That is a very difficult position to be in. I want to give you a chance to respond. His announcement speech he was talking about illegal immigrants, not immigrants. There is a vast difference. But, jeffrey, he talked about, there are 11 million, roughly 11 million undocumented by all estimates. There is a vast difference within that population itself. He was painting all of them with a very disparaging brush. It is welldocumented there is a very high crime rate with illegals in this country. Governor perry said this about how many illegals he had in jails in texas who had committed all kinds of crimes. That was governor perry, not donald trump. I want to ask you both a question here. The best academic evidence is that there is no higher rate. The broader point. The overall world vision is very ensue lar and defensive. The core idea is that the idea of america is being taken away by the changes that are happening. Ronald reagan in 1980 lost by 5 million votes. It is likely the minority share of the vote will be higher in 2016. The risk of the entire tenor of the Republican Debate he is affecting by a gravitational pull, it is further alienating this which will force the republicans to win an unrealistic part of white votes. That could have implications far beyond his candidacy. Jeffrey, ron, a fascinating discussion. I want to keep this up. This certainly wont be the last day we talk about it. Change you for joining us, both of us. Thanks, ron. This is just into to cnn. Donald trump will appear on state of the union with jake tapper tomorrow at 9 00 a. M. Eastern. Please stay with us.

Eastern. He will be greeted by cuban president , raul castro. Both are expected to deliver speeches there. Cnn correspondent, Patrick Oppmann is live in havana. So much anticipation. The two previous popes visited cuba. This visit, particular excitement, isnt there . Reporter absolutely, j im. Look behind me. We have an altar set up in havanas revolution square, the center of this communistrun government. Something thats ha only happened twice with the visits of john paul ii and pope benedict. In front of me, a huge billboard of jesus christ. A lot haveof contradictions in t of us. We are seeing some tourists getting everything ready for this. It is expected to be the popes largest mass while in cuba. Hundreds offer thousands coming across from the island to be here. There is particular excitement. Two reasons, really. One, of course, this pope being ar jen tin argentine, a native spanish speaker and he wont have an accent many cubans cant understand him. They have already heard him speak in a message televised two nights ago. This is a pope who played a crucial role in reestablishing u. S. cuban relations. We know the pope is coming here with, we expect, requests of this government to keep pushing open cuba and push for more religious freedoms. That is something he will speak to. Raul castro, we expect. He will be there today in just a few hours when the pope, for the first time, touches down in cuba. Patrick, i have to tell you, im a little jealous. A moment in history for the church and country. Thanks very much for joining us. The visit to havana was scheduled after the u. S. And cuba reestablished diplomatic relations. The pope, himself, played an active role in the super secret diplomacy that led up to that historic breakthrough. The father joined me now and is the head of the u. S. Bishops latinamerican office. Thanks for joining us today. Last year, father, you will remember pope francis personal lobbied president obama to reach a deal to swap prisoners and the next step to end decades of cold war animosity.

As we wait for that, a reminder that Cnns Chris Cuomo will take a look at how pope francis became a rock star around the world. The cnn special report. The peoples pope is this tuesday at 9 00 p. M.

I am joined by father, juan molina. We had a little technical difficulty earlier. Can you hear me now . Fantastic. You are head of the u. S. Bishops latinamerican conference. Last year, the pope personal lobbied the president to reach a deal to swat miprisoners of endg decades of animosity. Can you describe his efforts . Sure. This effort really is new for him since the time when he accompanied Pope John Paul ii to cuba in 1998. Right afterwards, he also wrote a book and talked about the need for reproachment between the two countries. This has taken quite a while for the pope and then archbishop and now coming to this point of him really talking to both parties about the need for dialogue, sitting down together and try to work out the differences that they have had. So this is not a new effort by the pope in many ways since he has been involved for several years. He sees the need for it. He cease that most of latin america looks at the United States through the lens of cuba. That is, in seeing how the United States relates to cuba and also, cuba relates to the world specially to the United States. Tomorrow, as you know, pope francis is going to celebrate mass at revolution square at havana within sight of a sculpture honoring the atheist tucheg hrivera . How do they celebrate that . They celebrated in the same square. I happened to be there. I think the cuban people see the images and relate to both. I think also the very fact that the pope is there also means that faith is being accepted by the cuban people. It was never left by the cuban people. It seems to me being agent to put both together and create a story in a way of reconciliation and moving forward, i think it is important to look at that. No question. The other issue is personal. Raul castro is going to be greeting the pope later today. He, himself, is a longtime atheist. The pope has made him consider praying again. Do you think we will witness a religious shift in cuba because of the pope. I think in a way that religious shift has already started. It is not only a religious shift but also of the entire society. There are many, many, many reasons to believe that and many steps have been taken by both the people and the government and also those of us who have been walking along the cuban people, along with them, can see that there are changes. Thats why the pope, i think, one of the themes that he is going to be talking about, is his accompaniment. He mentioned that word in his speech to the people of cuba. Thats a big thing for the church, to accompany these people on a journey that hasnt ended, that had a start but it really hasnt ended. So i think there is hope for a change in mentality. That is part of his message to appeal to people beyond the church and part of his personality. Father molina, thanks so much for joining us. We appreciate having you. Just a reminder to our viewers, Cnns Chris Cuomo is going to take a look at how pope francis became a rock star around the world. The cnn special, the peoples pope airs this tuesday at 9 00 p. M.
