of a john kasich or a jeb bush or perhaps even chris christie doesn't look like he's going to be near the qualifying numbers could come out of new hampshire with momentum. but he believes it will be easy work for him. trump has spent a tremendous amount of time going to various southern states with rallies, alabama, mississippi, even oklahoma and texas. he comes out of new hampshire with the win. he believes he has a real hammer lock on the blue collar populist voters. starting tomorrow morning, donald trump thinks he can turn south carolina voters into trump voters. >> when you look at chris christie, who invested a lot here in new hampshire, if he comes in sixth, is there a real conversation going on in the christie campaign whether to get out or fight in south carolina? >> reporter: sure. chris christie says he likes to tell it like it is. so do his aiding and campaign team. he recognizes that money will be tough to raise and without any forward looking organizations on the ground there, it's going to be very tough. so for christie, this is a very serious setback. it will caus

this today. this is what our secretary of state john kerry said about the treatment of our sailors, include thing one. listen. >> i also want to thank the iranian authorities for their cooperation and quick response. all indications suggest or tell us that our sailors were well taken care of, and that is a testament to the critical role that diplomacy plays in keeping our country safe, secure, and strong. >> he thanked them, senator. he thanked >> look, sit disgraceful and it defies words. only barack obama and john kerry would thank iran for capturing and trying to humiliate american sailors. that image of our sailors on their knees will come to encapsulate the failures of the obama-clinton foreign policy. >> now they're trying to humiliate them and the country further apparently after they get the benefits of this deal. >> this is what happens when you have a commander in chief who is spineless. in the middle of this nuclear negotiations, the ayatollah khomeini attended a rally where they burned american and israeli flags and chanted "death to america," and obama and kerry did no

happening in spots 2 through 5. we know john kasich finished second in new hampshire. a week after finding himself 8th in iowa. from there, it's been a nail biter between ted cruz, jeb bush and marco rubio. at this hour, we still do not know the answer. but we're still waiting for the votes to come in. there is the bottom of the screen. you can see the numbers. 83% of the raw vote has been counted now. cruz and bush have 11%. rubio showing at 11 now. it's going to be tight. really tight. on the other side of the aisle, bernie sanders defeating hillary clinton, every demographic voted for bernie. including men, and women. here is a taste of what the candidates had to say to their supporters tonight. >> thank you. >> we have sent the message that we'll echo the wall street to washington from maine to california. >> you're the reason we're here and you are the reason we're going to win the nomination and then, win this election together. thank you all. thank you so very much. >> i thank you for your vote. i thank you for the hours you gave us on the phones and doors you knocked, thank you. yo

have reported and donald trump 35% right now and john kasich at 16% ted cruz at 12% jeb bush at 11% chris christie at 8% and ben carson at 2%. donald trump, big turn out now celebrating a decisive win. >> we are going to make america great again. i am going to be the greatest jobs president that god ever created. remember that. by the way, we're going to knock the hell out of isis. >> the other question was how would the governor's perform this this race, that's governor chris christie of new jersey, governor john kasich of iowa and former florida governor jeb bush. john kasich finishes here behind donald trump, but ahead of the rest of the field and he says he's going to carry that momentum into the next prime areas. >> we'll move through south carolina all across this country and we'll end up in the midwest and you just wait, let me tell you, there's so much going to happen, if you don't have a seat belt, go get one. we're going to shake this country from top to bottom. thank you all very much. >> not all the precincts are in yet. the candidates are already on to south carolina,

, senator marco rubio, governor john kasich, and dr. ben carson, businessman donald trump has a conflicting campaign event, we did offer to let him join us by satellite, but his campaign said his schedule would not allow it. they were very polite and cordial. here is how it will work, i will be joined by each candidate one at a time. we asked the members of the audience to come up with one question to make sure there was nothing untoward in there, and there will be a range of topics, without further delay, joining me first on stage, ted cruz, senator from the great state of texas. hi, there. >> how are you doing? welcome to texas. >> thank you very much for having me there. you feel right at home? >> it is great to be home. >> you said last night you were looking forward to being home. >> last night was the first time i slept in my own bed in a month, i woke up with my daughter catherine coming and jumping on my lap and that is about as good a way to wake up as there is. >> that is perfect, congratulations on that. let's talk about last night. nevada did not work out exactly the

john sayic are tied neck and neck. >> we're live in manchester with the latest in the republican race. molly, good morning. >> good morning, leah. as you mentioned, a few of those towns to the north have already cast their ballots, the rest begin early this morning, some polls opening at 6:00 a.m., the republicans like the democrats were out there working very hard yesterday. the final push the get out the vote effort to pull in those supporters. the republicans pulled in all the stops in their final pleas to get out that vote. >> tomorrow, you have to get out and you have to vote no matter what. >> if you are sick, if you are really like, you can't move, you're close to death, your doctor tells you it's not working, your wife is disgusted with you, she says i'm leaving, i don't give a damn, you got to get out to vote, right? >> a little over 24 hours a way. at this point, it's all about one thing, turnout. that's the whole game. turnout. >> i've seen obituaries written about myself and like the guy at the town hall meeting i'm still alive. >> voters have been known to surprise.

senator ted cruz for second place but just barely. on their heels governors john kasich, jeb bush and chris christie all fighting to stay at the top tier. and we are seeing a major shift in political strategy. there are new reports out today that the bush and christie campaigns are actually sharing information through back channels to try to bring down senator rubio. governor christie denied that report on our air earlier tonight but "the new york times" reports that one of his aides confirmed it. but their words do show that the florida senator is certainly in their cross hairs. that of chris christie and bush. watch. >> i'm being attacked by marco rubio's super pac. and i don't feel -- it's so unfair and it's not -- >> marco rubio has not established one thing in his entire career. he's given the same speech for six years. his handlers surround him and coddle him. >> marco rubio is a gifted politician but his whole life has been around his own ambitions an he's gifted. he can turn a phrase really well but what has he done? >> he's not ready to be president of the united states and n

don't want to forget, we don't want to leave out either john kasich or dr. ben carson. ben carson today used the metaphor of the tortoise and the hear. and john kasich hasn't invested very much in nevada. he's more focused on michigan, which votes two weeks from now, and the so-called s.e.c. and super tuesday states a week from now. the nevada caucuses have never really been something that changes the trajectory of a race. the turnout is low, maybe 50,000 to 70,000 votes. so not a big affair. it has been a tremendous battle, an incredible fight for a comparatively small number of voters themselves. >> carl, great to see you. joining us with his expectations, brit hume. good to see you. so nevada hasn't mattered that much historically, so what role does it play tonight? >> well, there are only 30 delegates at stake, that's fewer than iowa, which has often been criticized as too much made about not very much. so you get a sense from that. but at this stage of the proceeding, we only have a few states having held contest, every one of them counts as a token of momentum, and momentum

sure it doesn't happen again. >> big a question in the palmetto state. how will john kasich fare? he has very little. the pledge to resist the famous bare knuckle politics. >> i'm not going to be a pin cushion or a marshmallow but i'm not going to spend my time destroying to trash other people. >> reporter: the latest poll are a couple weeks old but at last count, donald trump led by 60 points. to portionally allocated. >> john rob yigs bouncing around, thanks. >>> please join me freeway night for a premier of a new special. we'll talk about what is driving this unprecedented wave of political insurgency. >> i think faith voters taken or the grant. they assume how they are going to vote. i think that's one of the reason i've taken had effort for this 50-state tour. i want to get christians, evangelical christians to vote. i'm not going to tell them who to vote. >> that debuts friday, 10:00 p.m. eastern. 8:00 eastern saturday and sunday. >>> a political homecoming for president obama. moments ago, he where he got his state start at senator. take the addressing state lawmakers, somethi

to he place obamacare. it was notable and john kasich with a larger resume than anyone else on the stage. ben carson didn't get a lot of time. he was talking about how to pick judges and based upon the fruit salad of life. other times saying could someone please attack me? >> that is striking. and we're watching that and almost like there is a three-person race. and some say it should be. >> looking at what is coming there is a number of do or die situations for these candidates. and in arkansas, alabama, others making up the rest of super tuesday, trump is favored and likely to have a big day. there is a big race on the 8th in michigan. that is a state john kasich will have to do well in in order to get to the 15th. we get the first two winner take all states. and rubio needs to score well on super tuesday, too. >> thank you, carl. just moments ago, i spoke with donald trump from that same spin room in houston. >> well, donald trump big texas shootout, you're in the middle there. tell us, sir, what you think. how did you do tonight? >> i enjoyed it and i knew it was going to happe

. governor john kasich. and dr. ben carson. businessman and front-runner donald trump has a conflicting campaign event tonight in virginia. we did offer to let him join us -- he does. [ laughter ] by satellite, but his campaign said his schedule would not allow it. they were very polite and cordial. [ laughter ] over the next two hours, i will be joined by each candidate, one at a time. we asked the members of our audience to come up with their own questions, which we reviewed to make sure we don't have anything untoward in there and that there was a range of topics to discuss. i'll be asking some questions, as well. so without further delay, joining me first on the stage, ted cruz, presidential contender and senator from the great state of texas. [ applause ] hi there. >> how are you doing? welcome to texas. >> thank you very much for having me here. you feel right at home? >> it is great to be home. >> you said last night you were looking forward to being home. >> last night was the first night i've slept in my own bed in a month. it was wonderful. i woke up with my daught

back in with carl. >> megyn, we have the results. donald trump had two votes and john kasich wins three. you can bet he'll boast his victory. democratic side, bernie sanders versus hillary clinton. sanders blanked hillary clinton four to 0 in the granite state. that is the history of it. the first of the first kicking off the presidential cycle. >> john kasich's visit to dixville notch paying for him tonight. and back to our story with the dust up between governor chris christie and marco rubio. politico writing marco rubio crashed and berned. here now, we talked to him earlier, senator marco rubio. >> you heard about the reaction. >> the people cover politics on a daily basis, i can tell you we raised more money online than any other debate. our crowds have grown every day in iowa afterwards. and at the end of the day i'm going to continue to say what i said. i believe -- >> doesn't the message, the repetition of the message? that is a two-hour debate and we were asked questions on all sorts of things. this is what i deeply believe. i know no other way to describe it other than p

frank luntz focus group. we'll be joined by jeb bush and john kasich is here, as well. but we begin tonight with chris stirewalt, rich lowery, and roger stone. great to see you all. so we're visiting the o'reilly studio, which is why we have you on the set. >> good to be here. >> let's talk about what you expect to happen tomorrow. >> giant trumpness. this should be the best trump yet. i think in a lot of ways, it's an open primary state, so his coalition of democrats, independents, and republicans can come together in south carolina. it should be good for him. and it should cement his status going into the southern primaries come up in march. this should be a great night for donald trump tomorrow. >> i think trump wins. i'm not sure what the margin is. i think marco rubio is on the move. i wouldn't be surprised to see ted cruz third. >> really? what would that do for his candidacy? >> it's problematic going into the rest of the southern states. south carolina is the doorway into the rest of the south. if he can't score there, it's very tough going into the southern states. >> you t

shown nothing in their past would suggest they could make a tough decision. >> john kasich said he is going forward no matter what happens. >> we're going everywhere. it is a national campaign. >> and ben carson's campaign has revealed that it did meet with ted cruz yesterday and in carson's assessment of it, it did not go well. it was supposed to be an opportunity for ted cruz to explain what carson has called the dirty tricks that he suffered in the iowa caucuses. they met, believe it or not mark the broom closet at an event in greenville. carson said it did not go well. the cruz campaign acknowledges there was a meeting but won't comment on the tone of it. we should point out six major candidates on the ballot in south carolina. three of them will go on. the other three could be in big trouble. >> in a broom closet, carl. some of this stuff you cannot make up. carl cameron in columbia. thank you. still ahead, i talked on voters here in south carolina about what issues are driving them this year. and which candidates they're supporting in tomorrow's primary. on the eve of the democr

expected to be around 10% of the state's republicans. john kasich put in little effort in nevada to instead focus on upcoming contests in march. >> in virginia today, discussing his early political campaign for the 1970s, he raised eyebrows talking about women. >> how does i get elected? >> we had an army of people who -- and many women who left their kitchens to go out and go door to door and put yard signs up for me. >> i want to say your comment earlier about the women who came out of the kitchen to support you. i will support you, but i won't come out of the kitchen. >> the candidates are proud of the stay at home moms who supported him, trying to twist his comments into anything else is just desperate politics. >> because the nevada caucuses tend to be low turnout affairs, they seldom affect the overall trajectory of the race. there may be a bitter battle for second place between cruz and rubio tomorrow night, what may turn out to be the most memorable, here in las vegas, the bible is upstaging sin city. brett? >> live in las vegas, carl, thank you. it is now on to south caroli

moines and john roberts. john? >> megyn, good evening to you. donald trump doing whatever he can including wishing his daughter would have her baby here in iowa. donald trump putting a brave face on the result, not saying witnesses a loss but declaring it a victory saying in june he was told by people closest to him don't bother going, they'll never warm up to a person like you. for him, he said it is a victory. but not the outcome he hoped for. he did want to win this. we started picking up signs it was after he skipped the debate thursday that late breakers would probably not going to go his way. we followed a bunch of door knockers around and found people who said i was for trump but now decided to go for cruz or i was for trump but decided to go for rubio. you know, i think rubio's close finish really is an indication that you can have all of the fame and fortune in the world but old fashioned show ledger and hard work counts for a lot. he lost in iowa. he's ahead in new hampshire and south carolina. leads in nevada and florida. he's looking back at history saying 2008, you c

. >> women are showing up to vote. and john kasich revealing when he may drop out as he makes a stunning admission about super tuesday. >> it is critical for thin who is left in the race to be able to win their own home state. if you can't win your own home state you feed to get out. we go to ohio. i will win ohio. if i don't i will call it over. donald trump will probably win all of them but you keep holding your own and we have our campaign plan. >> what is that will set can pain plan? >> for kasich, obviously at the debate while everyone was taking off their gloves he put on a prom dress. i don't know what was going on but he said i will stay out of this, like contribution chris when he took out rubio's legs and then he endorsed donald trump. how weird was that, where trump crossed chris christie out for endormant and tells christie to get on a plane. you can go now, get away, treating him like hired help. >> he did another hour on same after that. it was true. i was like, what happened to christie? and trump goes back, mean joy the crowd for an hour. >> had to watch it live. >> chris

. >> when we come back, peter doocy on a candidate you may have not considered. and john roberts on republicans in south carolina. america's election headquarters rolls on, right after this. >>> welcome back to our post debate special. let's talk about someone not a democrat or a republican but might run for president this year. michaelberg isÑi moving closer toward an independent run for the white house. >> he still hasn't debated, michael bloomberg is still thinking about running for president. the mayor just ordered a second national poll to see how he'd do in a head to head race against leading democrats and republicans. the post cites new york's democratic operative, says, bloomberg has the political infrastructure and sleeper cells ready if he runs. someone who knows a thing or two about independent runs, ralph nayeden welcomes a bloomberg candidacy in an op-ed this week. the outcomes may not be known until march. and one advisor says there is still no real rush. >> we have about 8 or 9 months to election day. he's not running in the primary if he is to run and the fact that

the best campaign messaging so far. but we begin with john roberts in greenville, south carolina. >> reporter: south carolina is famous for its bare knuckle politics. it took senator john mccain years to get past the anger he felt over what bush supporters did to him in the 2000 primary campaign. and there are plenty of bean balls being thrown back and forth by all sides. the sharpest battles at the moment are between donald trump and ted cruz, and trump and jeb bush. the trump campaign made a big point of taking down a negative ad of ted cruz saying they wanted to wage a positive campaign. but on the stump, trump continues to go after his opponents. >> poor jeb. he spent $20 million on negative ads. if he didn't do that, i wouldn't be talking badly about him, you know? and he's so off, all he has to do is stop and i'll leave him alone. bush says, i do not believe he's a true conservative. these people are stupid. cruz today took an ad that's so false. i just hope you don't believe the crap, because it's all crap. >> one of the big dirty tricks of the 2000 campaign was push polli

rubio tied for second with 13%. governors john kasich and jeb bush are neck and neck in third with 10%. and then governor chris christie has 5%. you can see the leader board there. the latest from the campaign trail, senator rubio is not backing down from his critics who are slamming his performance at this weekend's debate in new hampshire. it was the final showdown before voters go to the polls and there was an epic moment between senator rubio and governor christie that drove the political writers nuts. watch. >> let's just start once and for all with the fiction that barack obama doesn't know what he's doing. he knows exactly what he's doing. barack obama is undertaking a systemic effort to change this country to make america more like the rest of the world. when i'm president of the united states, we are going to re-embrace all the things that made america the greatest nation in the world and we are going to leave our children what they deserve. >> you have not been involved in a consequential decision where you had to be held accountable. you just simply haven't. >> i think the

trust trump. they point out his mocking of a war hero, john mccain at the very beginning of his campaign t how everyone so easily has gotten over that and forgotten e that. hat >> what it was is john mccain is a senator in the state where we had the worst v.a. scandal in history and nothing was done. >> john mccain was there, he fought for it. >> call it a talking point, whatever you want. nothing got done. nobody got fired. you've been on tv yourself saying that.of to one more point also, the it people who think that the military is not as strong as it was are absolutely wrong. the fact of the matter is the u.s. military is strong because of the people in it right now. >> like this guy. >> to pete's point, we're strong because of the people in it. you can downsize us 10%, whatever, we're just as strong as we were. >> what does a military, a u.s. military look like under donald trump as president? >> i think we see isis gone in ngs years, put 250,000 boots on> the ground. that's not a popular comment. set the threshold, if you do this, we'll do this. the red line in the sand oba

mistake. for somebody like john kasich, he could make a strong stand in new hampshire. then there's this question where do you go from there? marco rubio, i heard from a congressman that's supporting him that said, marco rubio almost surprised himself last night, and so if he can now do that step change into being one of the leaders of that pack that you just talked about, kasich, christie, jeb, he might do very well. but these next two days are critical because people haven't made up their minds. >> half the electorate up for grabs. thank you both so much. >>> and breaking tonight, fresh off his better than expected results in iowa, senator marco rubio is here to talk about his chances for new hampshire. plus, new details on the secret to how senator ted cruz scored his big victory. tony perkins will join us on that. and how hillary clinton pushed some sanders' supporters a little too far, when we come back. >> i'll look back over the years of my involvement in the very first job i had, and i know -- i know -- i thought i married an italian. my lineage was the vecchios and zuccolis. thr

-man race. you look at new hampshire and john kasich actually does have a groundswell in that state. so we're going into new hampshire soon. there is still a lot of work to do, although ted cruz was victorious tonight. we have to keep in mind that iowa is not necessarily a determinant of what we're going see in the future. but on the hillary clinton side, look, she is in big trouble, sean. this is her second time around in iowa. she is barely going to squeak out a win possibly. it's still too close to call. and here we are with her pan anybodying about not being able to beat bernie sanders in the state where she was supposed to have all the structure in place, all the voters coming out for her. she is going to lose new hampshire. and then she is going into the southern states with two losses already on the board. i mean, it's a real problem for her when the general election comes all right. >> let me ask you this. if kasich is in fact surging, and some polls have shown him in double digits, buzz that cause a problem for marco rubio coming out of iowa with good numbers in terms of the es

correspondent john roberts starts us off today. >> reporter: good evening. from bob jones university, and even at a forum on faith and family, the candidates didn't let up on their attacks against their opponents, taking every opportunity they could to get advantage in this ever so important state. evangelicals are a huge voting bloc here. some 60% of the electorate. jeb bush wants to make sure they don't vote for donald trump. >> is anyone here worried about the front running candidate shouting out obscenities in front of children? i can't imagine my dad. it just -- it is just like -- not going to do it. or you know, my brother who always wore a suit into the oval office. >> though bush is running fourth here in the most recent polls, he has drawn renewed fire from donald trump. a reflection that the bush name still carries a lot of weight in south carolina. with george w. bush coming to campaign next week, trump felt compelled to fire a preemptive strike. >> especially getting us in that quick sand. we got in quick sand. i was against the war in iraq. >> reporter: out front by 15 p

to think about what i'm leaving for my kids. that's important for me. >> john leavitt said the land of opportunity, the american dream where you can work hard, come up and pull yourself up, like you did from, you know, your dad was killed at a young age. you know, be successful. do the best in your field. then when you finally make it, the response is -- you. give it all to us. you're not paying for fair share. get out. you suck. i got to go. tim, great to see you. >> okay. thanks for having me. i was going to say, really quickl pet moments are beautiful, unless you have allergies. then your eyes may see it differently. only flonase is approved to relieve both your itchy, watery eyes and congestion. no other nasal allergy spray can say that. complete allergy relief or incomplete. let your eyes decide. flonase changes everything. "w"well you don't want to live with mom and dad forever do you?" "breakfast noogie!" (laughs) "how do i check my credit score?" "credit karma, it's free." "credit karma. give yourself some credit." go on a first date. my passion is puppetry. here? i think we

earn it. he is going to have to do what chris christie and john kasich and i do and other candidates do. go to the voters and directly make their case. >> 62nd memorized speeches all of which we have heard over and over and over again for the last six years are getting a little stale and a little tired. and senator rubio needs to come up with new material and needs to start answering questions. it sounds like he is in the witness protection program. >> brit hume is our fox news senior political analyst. brit, good to see you. how does the race change today? santorum is out. rand paul is out. and now it's bush, kasich, and christie. fighting rubio for this so-called establishment lane. >> well, i think, megyn, that the number of supporters of santorum and huckabee got out were probably not enough to make a difference. not clear to me in what direction they will go. endorsements don't really matter very much anymore. and santorum doesn't hurt rubio by endorsing him but i don't think it'] makes much difference. i don't know that rand paul supporters like his father's supporters may nott

marco rubio in florida, that would effectively end his candidacy. but rubio and john kasich are both in a war of words, their campaigns spanned out across the country arguing each opposite side should drop out. kasich said rubio is so far back in n he's not viable. but the governor of ohio is also trailing donald trump in ohio, a winner take all contest for both of them. so we have this five-person race, this is the 10th debate tonight, and if ted cruz is right, the most important state to watch and the biggest delegate purse of the entire election will be coming this tuesday. megyn? >> as you just heard from carl cameron, the latest florida poll shows some trouble for senator rubio in his home state. today, governor john kasich's campaign piled on. the top kasich spokesperson tweeting out, john kasich is the only person that can beat donald trump. marco rubio needs to do the right thing and suspend thing. marco rubio's campaign tweeting out, the media needs to chill, we are going to win florida. period. take it to the bank. we recently put together a focus group and brought in

. >> john kasich got out there and had some fun, american-style in the snow today. the snowball fight with the presidential candidate, good idea? look at him, no gloves. that's how you do it ohio style, no gloves. he's going for it. does it have an impact in the race? i don't know. >> no, i think -- i hate to say this, but i think that snowstorms or snowball fights are not really at the center of a presidential election. now, that's a guess, so we'll see if my prediction turns out to be right. i've been wrong a lot this year. >> i'm going to tip my hat to him. charles, great to see you. >> my pleasure. >>> also tonight, a moderator is in the news for a remarkable moment at the end of last night's democratic debate. howie curts is next on why the critics are piling on rachel maddow. >>> plus, an atheist group forced a small town to take down a tribute to the victims of september 11. >>> and tonight, brian has a report on the town's inspiring response. don't miss this. whatcha doin? just prepping for my boss' party in a couple weeks. what are those? crest whitestrips. they whiten way be

the bank than jeb bush plus marco rubio plus john kasich plus chris christie all combined together. that's remarkable. >> cruz' victory speech went nearly 45 minutes. >> tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives across iowa and all across this great nation. >> he took a swim at trump's media dominance. >> iowa has sent notice that the republican nominee and the next president of the united states will not be chosen by the media. >> and rubio as the darling of gop insiders. >> will not be chosen by the washington establishment. >> today christie mocked marco rubio for what he says is an overly polished scripted candidacy. >> so i hope you guys -- >> he's been very disappointed over the last couple days by his performance in iowa. sometime when people don't perform well, they're under duress. i chock a lot of it up to that. >> trump who said anything less than a victory would be a waist of time was gracious in defeat. >> we finished second and i'm honored. i want to congratulate ted. >> rubio was a close third and his acceptance speech got reviews. >> to not in iowa the peopl

here which is my point. >> aconsiders -- across town at the headquarters of john kasich, they're trying to win hearts and minds, too. >> they're receptive. >> the key for cruz is to identify supporters bringing in more people. data mining techniques showed where to look. >> a lot of people contacted would often say i've been waiting for you to call or what took you so long to get here? >> cruz's ground game helped lift him five points. donald trump's lack of one saw him sink by a similar number. most campaigns are looking to cruz as an example of what to do in new hampshire. >> reaching out to people and made sure the people expressed support for him made it to vote. that is going to be a important thing during the coming weeks. >> important for marco rubio, too. a good showing here could cement his status as the candidate for the part yes to rally around. so his volunteers work the phones and walk the neighborhoods but not everything works out as you hope it would. >> who do you think you're voting for? >> trump. >> why is that? >> well, i'll tell you. because he's a square shoo
