Guest it sounds good. Normally donald trump is a very confrontational person theres no shortage but this is something that i think would actually play well. Hes touching on a very emotional subject the San Bernardino shootings and prevent further attacks so 9 times over the 10 donald trump goes over the line and it will sound good and it will play very well in that crowd in South Carolina. Andrea lets talk about marco rubio because i thought this was sort of unusual. He took a moment and they appeal to the evangelical voters here. Guest right, absolutely and, you know, there was some Health Problems involved and it would have been kind of brutal for him to continue without acknowledging it. Andrea yes. Guest he has governor nikki haley behind in the footage and it was a big chance for him and they get out there pedestrian to improvise and if you ask me john kasich and ben carson should be praying. [laughter] guest but it was a wellhandled opportunity for him and it shows in the polls. Andrea how do you hoping hes going to do at the . End of the day justp0 out of curiosity. Guest i think hell be okay in South Carolina if he finishes in the top 3. I do believe South Carolina will and people keep an eye in jeb bush. Where he could possibly be embarrassed in the home state well have to say. Rubio should be okay tonight. Andrea lets talk about this Britney Spears with this photo. How do you think it will help hillary with the young vote. Guest its not really the young vote anymore. You know Britney Spears theres a good chance youre of decent voting age. [laughter] guest as sad as those sounds. Andrea shes looking more matronly in her older in her late 20s, early 30s. Guest and if you like late 90s music that might be your deciding factor there. It looks good and play very well for her. She needs that bump in nevada where its really close for her and Bernie Sanders. Andrea are you surprised its so close between her and sanders and nevada. I was with that. Guest i was shocked with that. Guest its the warmth problem. Andrea very true. Guest theres a problem with of that.
