Iowa state fair, begins now. Good morning. Organizers say a Million People will visit the iowa state fair, but its just one person who managed to steal the show this weekend. We were with billionaire and gop frontrunner donald trump every step of the way. Trump, front and center from the start. Youre going to love me in terms of immigration and illegal immigration. Were building a wall its going to be a wall that nobodys going through my wall, trump builds walls i build walls. I dont think i have made mistakes. They do the polls and my numbers go up. You want to know what things im going to do different for this country . Almost everything. Because thats what has to happen. Everything we do is wrong. The military, were not taking care of the military. Were not taking care of our veterans. Country. Were not taking care of our finances and our trade deals. When was the last time you saw this country have a victory . We dont have victories. This morning, so many new questions about 2016, can donald trump keep up this momentum . How will his opponents step out of his shadow . Well ask two top contenders shortly. What does all of this mean for a race unlike anything we have seen before . Even before his helicopter the landed donald trump was the Star Attraction at the iowa state fair this weekend. Forget the livestock and fried on the stick delicacies. It was trump, trump, trump. When the billionaire candidate finally descended from the sky, we joined a few lucky kids for a ride better than any roller coaster. This is pretty exciting . Yeah. Its very trumplike. Its me. I am who i am. Its good for the kids. The kids love it. Four years ago, here, the people at the bottom of the polls didnt do so well. Who was here . Who was . Well, you had Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum. But theyre not me. Theyre not me. I have had a lot of fun. I have never run for office before. I love whats happening. His brashness, outspokenness, clearly the draw here. Will President Donald Trump be the same as candidate trump with foreign leaders . Can you imagine yourself i think even better. Because foreign leaders, i have had great relationships over the i have had great relationships with people over the years. I think even better. Im doing well, im leading in im leading in iowa. Make America Great again. Make America Great again. While in the coming months he promises details about how hell solve americas problems, he had few specifics this weekend. Let me ask you a serious Foreign Policy question, what would you do about isis using chemical weapons . I think its disgraceful. You cant allow it to happen. What do you do . Send in Ground Troops . Say that again. What trump wanted to talk about was hillary. Theyre saying hillary didnt draw this kind of crowd. Not even close. After a few pork chops i caught up with trump again to ask about any female opponent what do you think about Carly Fiorina . You had some pretty tough words very nice woman. She got fired. She did a terrible job at hewlett pakard overshadowed by trump juggernaut, it was hard for other republicans to be heard, senator Rick Santorum who won iowa four years ago, thought a direct comparison was the best. Someone with a parade, with all this secret service. Someone flying around in a helicopter. Someone flipping burgers. Who do you want to be president . What you saw or the guy at the grill . Candidates drew large crowds as well. Hillary clinton found plenty of fans but didnt speak at the events famous soapbox. Her challenger, senator Bernie Sanders did. Senator sanders, no helicopters for you today . I left it at home in the garage. Do you think i want Bernie Sanders or i dont want Hillary Clinton . No. I think people are responding to our message, there is a deep frustration, which sometimes, inside the beltway, pundits dont see. Theres a deep frustration with establishment politics and economics. They want the government to for decades the state fair has been a mustdo for president ial wannabes and it has a history of tripping them up. Radio iowas o. Kay henderson has seen it all. You want to be careful what food you eat, you want to be careful about the fashion. In 2011, mitt romneys haunt him. Today, candidates know too well the power of the fair. Ill try not to do anything that will end my political aspirations here today at the soapbox. Reporter trump is the clear frontrunner here in iowa, but another political outsider surged into second place after the first debate. Dr. Ben carson joins us now. Great to see you, dr. Carson. Thank you. Youre running second to trump in the latest poll here in iowa. Neither of you have held elected office, what do you bring to iowa voters that he does not . Well, you know, we all have had different Life Experiences, my Life Experiences have included a lot of very, very complex situations that people have been trying to solve for a long time that we were able to solve. And it wasnt necessarily because i was the smartest person that ever existed, it was because of being able to use the talent pool that existed around me. I think thats a very important factor. And everybodys different. And you know the nice thing about this process that we have, is people will have an opportunity to see what really works for them. I think you would probably say he solved some complex problems as well, but certainly not in surgery. Let me ask you about a tweet from donald trump last november. He wrote, sadly because president obama has done such a poor job as president , you wont see another black president for generations your reaction to that . I have heard a lot of people say things like that, and that would tend to indicate that for them, the color of ones skin was more important than the content of ones character. I dont believe thats true. And, you know as i travel around the country, north, south, east, west, humongous crowds, very enthusiastic. I dont get any indication that color means that much to them. I think its way overblown. Okay, you made some controversial comments this week about planned parenthood. Saying, one of the reasons you find most of their clinics in a black neighborhoods is so that you can find a way to control that population. Do you think planned. Parenthood is targeting African American communities to control population . Well, again, you have to go back to the beginnings of planned parenthood and margaret singer, who believed that certain people were like weeds that needed to be but were talking today, planned parenthood estimates fewer than 5 of its Health Centers are located in areas where more than onethird where the population is africanamerican. I believe we could find data quite contrary to that. I have seen some of their maps. But you just dont believe that data well, heres whats important. Margaret singer believed that certain people including blacks, were inferior, and that the way you strengthen the society is you get rid of them. Im confused about your stance on abortion, do you believe there should be an exception for incest and rape . I believe that once conception has been achieved, it is a human life and i have spent my entire career you believe life believes at conception. I do believe that. When the heartbeat started no, what i believe is life starts at conception. I said there are a lot of people who think that its at the heartbeat and i think most people can come to the conclusion that once you have a heartbeat, that you clearly have a living organism. So, no exceptions to rape and incest . What i have said is that, i have spent my life trying to save life not trying to destroy it. You also made some comments about the fight against isis this week saying, you would use every resource we have to take the land from them, take the oil from them, how do you do that . Do you send in Ground Troops . Coalitions and enthusiasm generally tends to follow success. If you dont provide leadership, youre never going to get the people over there to join you. Which is what we have been thinking that, somehow theyre going to form a coalition, theyre going to provide the we may have to initially do some things ourselves, but i believe that we will have troops or no Ground Troops . Ground troops may well be necessary. Under a thousand or 10,000 . Well, i dont pretend to be able to know the name without a lot of information and thats one of the reasons that we have generals and people who really are able to figure out what needs to be done. Okay, thanks very much. Have fun here today. Thank you. Turning now to the only woman in the republican field, who is catching fire here in iowa after her Strong Performance in the undercard debate last week. Earlier, you heard donald trump calling her a nice lady. But he had some harsher words for her on friday. Watch. Carly was a little nasty to me. Be careful, carly. Be careful. But i cant say anything to her because shes a woman and i dont want to be accused of being tough on women. I cant do that, right . And Carly Fiorina is here with me. What is your reaction to that . Oh, honestly, you know, i find it sort of amusing. Thinking about or focusing on what donald trump is saying. When his insults are below the belt to someone then i will make a comment just as i did when president obama called anyone who disagreed with his iranian deal equivalent to the hardliners chanting death to america. I just think insults arent helpful to the political process. Weve got a lot of serious issues here. But most of the time i spend my time answering voters questions. Do you think donald trump will alienate female voters . Well, you know, its not clear to me that donald trump is a republican, based upon his willingness to run a thirdparty and some of the positions hes taken. But i think its really important as i go out there and talk, what i hear, what i see, are both men and women who are sick of a professional political class. Theyre sick of the festering problems in the washington, d. C. They agree that its ridiculous in the smartest and the richest country in the world that we cant get basic things done like serve our veterans and hold government accountable for being competent. I want to turn to Hillary Clinton, you said she couldnt play the gender card in this race, but do you believe that you bring anything to this race as a woman that your male counterparts do not . You know, im not running because im a woman, im running because i believe our nation is at a pivotal time, and i think i have a unique experience that in understanding the economy, understanding the players on the world stage, honestly better than anyone else running probably, understanding big bureaucracies. The fact is im a woman, half this nation are women, 54 of voters are women. And ultimately, i think our commanderinchief, the president of the United States has to represent all americans, men and women. Im a conservative, not a progressive like Hillary Clinton because i believe that our policies work better to lift women and men up, regardless of their circumstances. And i want your reaction to Hillary Clinton turning over her server, her email server, and reports of classified emails on that server. Well, you know, in the debate last week, i made the statement that Hillary Clinton has lied. Shes lied about benghazi, shes lied about her server and shes lied about her emails. And there were some in the media that found that language harsh. The more this story goes on, the more it becomes clear that she has lied and its clear that this server was parked in some i. T. Firm in new jersey getting cleaned boy, that raise all kinds of issues and its almost hard to believe, its strange credulity to accept that a secretary of state, who handled all of her communications on a home server, information on her device and over that server. Of course, she did. Now, were finding out she did as usual. The coverup is worse than the crime. You also made comments last month on fox that hillary has blood on her hands when it comes to benghazi, are you saying she was responsible somehow responsible for the death of those americans . What im saying is, the night that benghazi attack happened, secretary of state clinton, president obama and others knew that this was a purposeful, preplanned terrorist attack. Nevertheless, the next morning, she addressed the American People from the state department and talked about a video and how it didnt represent the values of the American People and several days later, she stood over the bodies of the fallen and said the same. What she should have said that morning was the truth. This is purposeful terrorist attack and we will seek retribution. Instead, she basically apologized. So what signal did that send . What signal did that send to all the bad guys all over the world . The signal it sent, open season, we can attack embassy, murder four americans and nothing is going to happen. What would you have done differently in libya, would you have carried out air strikes . Well, you know, its interesting. I find the Foreign Policy of secretary of state clinton and president obama entirely inconsistent. At the time, when bombing raids were conducted over libya, the rationale was to prevent bloodshed and horror. You know, we had to step in to save peoples lives, thats a good rationale as far as it goes. But we never used it again. We have done nothing in syria, we really are sitting by when we could be leading a coalition of arab allies to defeat isis. I disagree were at the point where we need to put tens of thousands of boots on the ground. What i think we need to do to provide King Abdullah of jordan with the bombs and materials that we has been requesting for a year and a half. You think he could do that without u. S. Ground troops . I think the jordanians, the saudis, the kuwaitis, the kurds are all fighting isis on the ground. Yes, they need leadership, resolve, support and material from us. We havent provided any of it. Difference. Do you think youll be on the debate stage next month . Well, i certainly hope so, i think we have gathered a lot of good momentum. You know, i prefer to call it the happy hour debate, by the way, but when i went into that debate, less than 40 of Republican Voters had ever heard my name. Im not a professional politician, im not a celebrity. So as more and more people get to know who i am, our support continues to grow. Im looking forward to being at the fair tomorrow, on the soapbox tomorrow. Okay, thanks so much, ms. Fiorina. Next, matthew dowd and Donna Brazile are standing by for full analysis of where this race stands. The donald is dominant, how long will that last . Theyll break it all down. And brandnew details in that Hillary Clinton email firestorm, what shes saying now. Plus, will joe biden really jump into the 2016 race . Announcer this week with George Stephanopoulos brought to you by md anderson cancer center. George stephanopoulos brought to you by md anderson cancer center.

Luckily for all your hardtowash fabrics theres febreze fabric refresher febreze doesnt just mask, it eliminates odors youve gone noseblind to break out the febreze, and breathe happy next, the secret to trumps success, why some voters cant get enough of him here in iowa.

Oh, and your boysenberry apple scones smell about done. Ahh, youre good. I like to bake. Add new Business Services with at t and get up to 500 in total savings. There is no escaping Donald Trumps huge draw at this fair. He is the main attraction, flying in on his helicopter, giving free rides to iowans and his competitors fight to catch up. But with trump short on policy proposals and polarizing voters across the spectrum, why is he still thrilling so many here and can he keep the momentum going all of the way to the voting booth . Our political analyst matt dowd sat down with a group of fairgoers to find out. Yes. Hello, my name is billy wilson. Hi, my name is jan. Im a life long iowan. My name is mark. Im a republican. My name is cierra. Ill be a senior in high school. Who are you going to vote for . Trump. Donald trump. Donald trump. Donald trump. Reporter what is driving your vote for donald trump . Number one hes not a politician. I think his willingness to speak out and speak his mind. I think thats very important. He wont back down. I think hell be an excellent president. I think hell bring jobs back. Reporter what would worry you . In the next six, eight months. His words, maybe. When you say his words, so he pops off and says something . Yeah, i mean, hes not a politician, hes not used having to practice what to say, he speaks his mind like a lot of people do, not like a politician would. Any of the things that have been said about him in the last few weeks cause you concern that, the namecalling, the sort of the bullying that people have said about him . Were so used to hearing that, its a broken record. So, it doesnt bother me one iota. I dont think hes getting a fair rap on a lot of these issues i have been seeing on television. I agree with what he said. I think megyn kelly treated him bad is your reaction in support of donald trump more of a gut reaction to the person he is and how he comes across, less something that has to do with a specific list of issues. Its for me as well. I dont see that political thing that we have been seeing
