Anderson Cooper 360

and we had a poll up about the enthusiasm of various candidates with trump is 88% enthusiasm and 32% for nikki haley. some had pointed to what they believe to be the late surge of momentum by nikki haley. it seems that a lot of these people may be independents or people who may not necessarily vote for either desantis or trump if nikki haley is not in the race. what do you think of her support? >> i see her as the modern-day mitt romney. she may galvanized the support but the key thing is they would turn around tomorrow night. with the des moines register poll i saw the enthusiasm of her supporters low and a lot of them are democrats and independents. i'm not so sure they want to got on a cold and icy and snowy night for someone who will not win the iowa caucuses and most likely not play second either. >> and they made the case that the stronger supporters and

they have not gained enough momentum to put a dent in trump's lead. if the gap is 20 is it really a win? for most voters, the win is the win coming close to 50%. with a double-digit margin they will come together. >> and responding to criticism that she is not tough enough and play what they said. >> he is saying this because now he knows he is in trouble and it's becoming a two person race. i know he knows the truth and it does not bother me at all. >> the fact that he is spending time attacking her. >> trump is going to attack everybody. he is still in the race. so i would not put too much and it. and to the point that the lead was continuing to grow, there's a lot of academic research. but people want to be with the winner and you see the polls at 60 or 65 and they see their

even voters that feel incredibly motivated to go and vote for him would reasonably look at the 30 point lead and say, do i have to stand in the gym with 30 degree weather when he will clearly run away with this? we will see. in the end it's most likely to hurt haley and desantis but you could certainly see that argument the other way. >> nikki haley has the lowest numbers and perhaps the worst ground game. >> but she has momentum and if anyone in the race has one thing that is somewhat of an intangible , nikki haley has that. which is momentum riding into iowa. she's we want to be outside of any other candidate outside of donald trump of the 30 point lead over whatever. at the end of the day, iowa has done the job. they have called the field and you no longer have chris christie or mike pence. and if there is any hope there cannot not be three tickets out of iowa but really only two.

underdog. that's how i have done every race that i have ever been in. >> so we are waiting for the governor on the stage right now. she has been out with some of the other candidates and you can see it is a pretty packed room here. one of the reason they're optimistic is they believe that their supporters are enthusiastic. even with this weather, that they can count on them to turn out. when there is this unpredictable factor of extremely cold weather, that it could make a battle for them if you trust that holes, likely for second place. >> so what is the desantis plan? >> it's a combination of that and i am told by super pac that they have knocked on 940,000 doors here in iowa alone over the last several months. never back down.

i think he has been there and flooded the market and flooded the zone. the only problem with vivek ramaswamy as he has galvanized young voters but i don't think young voters will show up tomorrow night and that weather and some good football and a lot of variables. we will see what happens but it i got fact checked on tv the other night. but you cannot have a president and vice president from the same state. so there is no way for ron desantis to have a future as donald trump's vice president so he needs to figure out quickly. for ron desantis the race is probably over for him if he underperforms. >> more to come on iowa tonight with the i important block of voters andnd evangelicicals sid with the f former president t r desantis a and nikki h haley. joining g us next.t.

candidate trailing away. the des moines register had in this category if you could be persuaded to vote for somebody else. and they were almost 40% persuaded to vote for somebody else. it's superstrong but trump is crushing it and will run up the numbers. >> with the weather, who benefits? >> there are two schools of thought. you look at the enthusiasm between trump and the other candidates. it's hard to believe that someone fulfills this only 20% level of enthusiasm for the candidate nikki haley, that the person will go out and negative 24 degree weather and stand in the gym and go through it all. conversely, trump has had such a massive lead throughout the race that i think there's a risk of complacency.

on it and it's tomorrow. 115 it expires because on one 16 at 4% in iowa, he's done. today he has as much power as he will ever have and i realize i will not win and i urge my followers to support donald trump. and then he's a big hero and he goes and runs for governor in ohio and a very successful story. on the 16th he's just going to be better and he wasted all the time. >> that requires self-awareness. >> i wonder if that's not what ron desantis ultimately does a couple of days from now. if things don't go as hoped in iowa, he's very young and could easily run for the republican nomination in 2028 if he plays his cards right. if this is not the or for him but if he exits the race gracefully and make smart choices then that would be a. >> first of all i think will over perform by 8%.

The Journal Editorial Report

south carolina but the fact is she's up to 25% in the polls, new hampshire polls, independents can vote in those primaries and if she put in a stronger showing of an independents and comes close to trump this is going to suggest that haley would be able to pool in independent votes as the nominee. this is the argument people have been making about her candidacy, that she could pool in more votes than trump in a general election so people are going to have their eyes on that result. recall when jean mccarthy challenged lbj in the 1960s, didn't defeat lbj in new hampshire but came close enough to suggest lbj was in political trouble and johnson pulled out of the race when he was president. paul: of she can get trump 1-on-1 after new hampshire the race goes to south carolina and could be an interesting thing. what do you make of the desantis strategy. you heard the attack on haley
