CNNW CNN Tonight With Don Lemon February 9, 2016

Restaurant where snow is falling and forecast for tomorrow, but not enough to stop voters here. It was a mini blizzard today, but this is really spring for the girls and boys here. I keep looking at dana bash. Well get to dana in a little bit. The latest polls shows donald trump ahead of his challenger. It is getting nas tier and nastier. Jeb is a lightweight. Donald trump, youre a loser. We ever a lot to get to tonight, and i want to turn right away, as i said, to dana bash, cnns chief political correspondent. Dana, the snow is falling, but thats not stopping the drubidrg or clubbing of republicans. Theyre really going at each other, especially donald trump. Lets look at the tweets they were sending to each other. Donald trump everyone is laughing about the money he spent, a pathetic figure. Donald trump, youre not just a loser, youre a liar. John mccain is a hero. Over and out. So whats going on . These two guys have been going at it for so long, and now theyre finally on the precipece of the actual voting. Jeb bush feels hes the only guy standing up to the guy he says is a bully. You got a chance to ask him about that today, correct in. I did. What i wanted to know from him was given how far he has come and where he started because remember, when he started, he was the frontrunner nationally and here in New Hampshire. I was just looking back at the polls. And he said he would only really run if he ran a joyful campaign. And i was showing him these saying, wow, what a difference there is. Watch this. When you started this campaign, or even before, you said that you really only would like to do it if it could be a joyful campaign. Yeah. Now were a day before the New Hampshire primary, and youre calling an opponent a loser, a whiner and a liar. He is a whiner, and im defending the honor of people i really respect. I think thats more than appropriate. I do this with joy in my heart because i do believe this country is the most extraordinary country on the face of the earth. But im a joyful warrior. There is a difference between just sitting back and watching someone try to hijack a party that i believe will allow people to rise up again. A joyful warrior. A very different kind of campaign that he wanted to run, but he has, again, made it clear that he feels like no one else has really decided to stand up to donald trump, not just in terms of the personality conflicts, but because he doesnt think that donald trump is a real conservative, and hes trying to call him out on it. Theyve been hitting him with that. I have the polls in my hand here. It shows donald trump 31 , marco rubio 17, 14 john kasich. The running is for second, third and fourth. This debate that happened this weekend, is that going to change any of this thats reflected in these numbers, do you think . This is the daily tracking poll that cnn does with wmmr. The reason cnn does this is because things change so fast in New Hampshire, particularly between the time of the Iowa Caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. The numbers havent changed very much, and to answer your question, most importantly for marco rubio, who had the now infamous moment or moments over the weekend he kept saying the same thing. When he kept saying the same thing over and over again. It didnt really change. Hes in second place, a distant second place, but hes in second place. Threequarters was conducted before the debate and the sample was too small to really tell postdebate if he took a hit. It didnt look like he did but were not going to be able to tell the answer to that until the real poll happens, until people actually go and vote tomorrow. None of the polling matters except the poll where people are casting their ballot. Thank you, dana bash. Well see you around. Dana always has some breaking news. I want to bring in hugh at the host of the hugh hewett show. Hugh, donald trump called in to wolf blitzer to respond. Lets listen to that and then well talk. Hes a desperate person. Hes a pathetic person. He doesnt even use his last name in his ads. Hes a sad person who has gone absolutely crazy. I mean, this guy is a nervous wreck. He goes around saying, im the only one to have courage to go after trump. What courage is it . He says nasty things. I put him down and he goes away like a little sheep. Jeb is having a breakdown, i think. Hes an embarrassment to his family. He has to bring his mother out and walk his mother around at 90 years old. So, hugh, who is going to win this feud between the two . Is bush helping himself or hurting trump at all . Well, donald trump is going to win tomorrow night, and i recall that toy thats been on the market for probably 50 years, rock em sock em robots, the red robot and the blue robot. Thats donald trump and jeb bush, and the guy actually benefiting from that is john kasich. Probably the best closing ad, and ive been oding on cnn because im stuck in a hotel room. But john kasichs ad, which is very positive, very uplifting, and he shoots it very wide camera, very smiley, very happy john kasich is in such sharp contrast to everybody else that building on his debate performance saturday night, and i think hes going to come in second, and then i think marco rubio is going to come in third for this reason. When i see David Axelrod and paul and jennifer, and i read Jonathan Shea who are leftist people saying hes bleeding out, then my sense begins to tingle like something is not right with this picture. So marco rubio leaned into it today, so i think hes going to finish stronger. I dont know about tracking polls, don. You said it better. We say the polls are broken, we have no turnout model, lets look at the polls. Lets talk about it. The polls were so wrong to you in iowa. But i was right, i was right. 32 said they would never vote for him. How solid is his lead, do you think . His lead is very solid because hes in every single poll. Thats why i think its very, very solid. I do believe one thing that can take away from these polls is direction, and Donald Trumps direction has stayed very stable throughout. So there is a New Hampshire element thats not going to move. John kasichs direction has been rising a lot in these polls, so i dont think that will change much. We have a bubble, a punditry going on right now. The fact of the matter is that everyone is going to leave here, because were going to have a black swan event of politics, which is an open convention. So if anyone has any delegates, theyve got chips to play with, and theyre all going to South Carolina and theyre all going to the next debate im doing with cnn on the 25th of february. Theyre going to be around on the march 10 debate, because they have nothing to lose and it doesnt cost that much to hang around between the two super tuesdays, don. This is great fun. Were getting ourselves spun up too much. You think that everyone my question to you is, who is out tomorrow and will all those governors go forward, do you think . Do you think everyone is in for the long haul. The only one i have any doubt about is ben carson. I just dont know if dr. Ben will go forward. And i know that Chris Christie has got Hedge Fund People behind him, hes got a record, if he can survive, to michigan. Hes got a great state that plays well to his strengths. Marco rubio and jeb bush got to have it out in florida with donald trump in a great race. South florida will be the antetum of finals. There was a battle called the battle of lane and thats going to be the final in a few days. So this is the greatest show on earth, and its leading to the greatest convention, cleveland, with the greatest sports franchises. Had to put that in. So your prediction is donald trump trump, kasich and rubio. Next is kasich. Now let me say a word about the man we havent mentioned, which is ted cruz. I work with people that work with ted cruz. He won iowa. Now, why is that . I dont have an answer. Why is that, the guy that won yaya, is not being talked about for two hours in the pregame show. Was he hurt by maybe people thinking that he did something underhanded when it comes to ben carson. I think his supporters will go through 8 feet of snow to vote for him tomorrow because they feel hes been dealt an inflatable hand. Its called an ooddle loop. Anything going on, and the democrats are trying to manipulate. We do not see a reporting that Hillary Clintons investigation is real. We do not see the fact that bik is seeing kboirsly. 80 among women. Why is 85 percent ahead of income r of ted cruz tomorrow. Theyre not paternity, either. Uhre not going to have a bad day. New hampshire is different from iowa. There is not a ton of, you know, evangelicals here as much as in iowa. I have to move on. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Okay. I want to bring in now democratic strategist miss donna brazil and mr. Michael smirkonish. Thank you for joining us. You heard him talk about Bernie Sanderss lead. 65 to 51 , only 16 undecided. Do you think that he see numbers will hold . I can tell you this much. Bernie sanders is not just from a neighboring state, but he has really come. Voters like an independent streak. They like someone who is authentic, will tell you like it is. The clintons are 1 for 2 in this state. Theyve loss. She hasnt been able to close the gap, but who knows. There is a gender gap she can close just on one seeked or the, there will be new people who will be voting he egt. New people can register on the day of and just bring some form of i. D. Dont look like don, okay . But you can vote tomorrow here in New Hampshire. What do you mean, dont look like me . Like an old man, what . No, i just dont want an impersonator. Voter fraud. Im worried about that, arent you . The Clinton Campaign has been saying what they think, michael, is that theyre trying to keep it down in single digits. They dont think shes going to win. They think shell close the gap, but what kind of defeet will this be for Hillary Clinton. If its a direct hit, Bernie Sanders. I think it will be a very difficu difficult. In the short term, i see two things happening. The continuation of. And his ability to counter whakt she shes. Michael bloomberg is. That it entices him more so to get into that rate. They could have staged that a little more reverse in terms fd crowd can skroud every. I still believe this race is far from over after tomorrow. Can you talk about politico is reporting theyre nuft if one of nour. Whats the real skinny on that. Onestly, im. Think about it, don. Some of and the staff, have gt to. You read on line, at that joy f of. Give them a chance to go out there and compete tomorrow. And well see what happens on wednesday. Political consultant had something to say about this political report. This is what he treated. When the exact same problems crop up in separate campaigns with different staff, at what point does the principal say, hey, maybe its us . Do you think Hillary Clinton needs to take a look in the mirror . It wouldnt surprise me if this was something created by a political opponent, maybe an opponent within the democratic race, maybe a republican opponent because this is the sort of fodder that only means dr drudge. I cant figure out trump has a very strong lead. Sure. We talked about iowa and were like. This is the state with had. Very reflective of the nation at large. Ive long believed john kasich stand as a tra cast of a strong spup to look at any moment. Its en. I mean, jeff topz sovr some district to sla done. Drnld trump many. Heres one thing i know, don. Despite all the snow thats coming up and how the. Bill got the Longest Service secretary of state a sti. Now wire haj, china. You know what . Zds china. That could have benefited. I im. I think this debate episode with markey rubio. I dont think its go. There would be lingering yeg. I heard someone say he respected ro r ro. I got to run. Youll be back. You know that. Im coming back.

I guess its christmas, because everything is going to be wrapped up in a big bow by tomorrow when it comes to who is going to win the New Hampshire primary. New hampshire voters getting ready to cast their ballots in the snow. Donald trump leads his gop rival in the latest poll. Here with me to discuss, columnist for the daily beast, public columnist, anna navaro who is supporting jeb bush, and columnist caylee mcilnany. The latest cnn poll shows New Hampshire, donald trump leading the pack, 31 , followed by marco rubio. Hes at 17 , ted cruz at 14 , john kasich at 10 , jeb bush at 7. Are the pollsters going to get it right this time . Oh nor, no, not even close. I do trihink trump is going to start out large. A trump rally started with someone talking about things that cant possibly be done, and with trump, he just goes to things that cant possibly be done. Forget the how. So its not going to happen. No. I think all were really going to see from this election tomorrow is how deeply dissatisfied americans not just people in New Hampshire but americans are with the status quo. They are so deeply dissatisfied that theyre willing to go with a ca mrk comi nut and this douc with the hair. Say how you really feel. I get in the car and the driver has been driving different political people around and hes got all kinds of signs and paraphernalia in the trunk of the car, she does. I get to the hotel and i see the signs. You see them on every street corner. Ive been inundated with ads. How do voters cut through this noise . Obviously they dont. Well end up with trump and sanders as the noise from New Hampshire. This is the country of loud noises. If loud noises solved problems, our problems would be solved. I want you guys to Pay Attention to this. Take a look at this. This is a moment that happened tonight. It was at a trump rally. A voter shouted out a vulgar word for a womans anatomy to ted cruz and trump repeated it for the audience. You heard the other night at the debate, they asked ted cruz a serious question, what do you think of waterboarding . Is it okay . And honestly, i thought he would say absolutely, and he didnt. He said, well, hes concerned about the answer because some people she just said a terrible thing. You know what she said . Shout it out because i dont want to say it. Okay. Youre not allowed to say and i never expect to hear that from you again. She said i never expect to hear that from you again. She said, hes [ bleep ]. Thats terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Thats terrible. Has anyone ever heard that word being used in a campaign before . Were you there . Heres my take. I was not there, but heres my take on this. Im not a prude, but i think this is culture degradation. I think this is an example why donald trump is surging. I dont think you could get away with this even 10 years ago, and i think this is an example of, really i dont want to say the dumbing down but the lowering of our standards for what is president ial. This should not be acceptable. Nobody else can get away with it, either. This was very unique to donald trump. He has been able to say, really, the most outrageous, Amazing Things one after the other, time after time, and weve seen his poll numbers go up. Tomorrow hes going to come on tv and hell tell us he was talking about a baby cat. Youre probably right. There is a misunderstanding of whats happening right now in america. Everyone is talking about Donald Trumps rhetoric, but thats not why hes resonating with onethird of the republican party. Hes resonating because Americans Care about isis. They care that 63 members of isis were in america. He said that word. He didnt say that word. He repeated that word and said you should never say that. I was with my 15yearold daughter, my intern daughter. There were a lot of kids in the crowd. I just thought it was one of those was
