Trump Focuses on New Hampshire; Nothing Left Unsaid.
VAUSE: Welcome back, everybody. Donald Trump says he's moving on from his second place finish in the Iowa caucuses and he is now focused on New Hampshire. In fact, we're seeing a very different Donald Trump over the past 24 hours, and for more on that joining me now is Andy Dean who is president -- or former president of Trump Productions and obviously a Donald Trump supporter and Ann-Marie Murrell, who is the editor-in-chief of Politichicks, and also a Ted Cruz supporter. Great to have you guys here. It's going to be fun. Andy, we're see ago very different Donald Trump. He's out, he's doing meet and greets, he's doing what's called retail politics --</s>ANDY DEAN, FORMER PRESIDENT, TRUMP PRODUCTIONS: Right.</s>VAUSE: -- and I want to play this for you, too. It's his latest campaign ad. (Trump Advertisement Plays)</s>VAUSE: Okay. That looks like a Benneton ad. Where's Donald Trump? What have you guys done with him because that's not the Donald Trump we've known over the last six months.</s>DEAN: He's keeping it positive. we like the poll results, where they're at right now, with CNN we're up 11 points and then the UMASS/LOWELL poll, which just came out a couple of hours ago, has Donald Trump up 20 points over Marco Rubio so I think he's in a good position a couple of days before the vote. So he's playing it positive and hopefully next week we'll get good results.</s>VAUSE: Obviously he's a smart guy. He learns as he goes. Did he have to make some changes?</s>DEAN: Yes, look, he didn't win Iowa. So when you don't win you make some changes and that will hopefully get a victory in New Hampshire. Then, actually, tomorrow he'll be in New Hampshire and South Carolina. South Carolina votes after that. I think that's a good state for Donald as well.</s>VAUSE: So, Ann Marie, the complaining we heard from Donald Trump after that result in Iowa, it left him open to a lot of attacks, not just from Ted Cruz, but also from Jeb Bush. Let's listen to this. He was piling on as well.</s>GOV. JEB BUSH (R-FL) REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: He lost, and he better get used to it. This is called politics and whatever the Cruz campaign did may not have been completely above board, who knows. I don't -- you know, I'm focused on New Hampshire here; but do over, give me a break. you know, put your big boy pants on, Don, Donald, and get on with it, man.</s>ANN-MARIE MURRELL, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, POLITICHICKS: Wow!</s>VAUSE: Put your big boy pants on. I mean, do you think regardless of whatever your guy did, Ted Cruz, do you think that, you know, Donald Trump play it badly, in complaining about the result sf.</s>MURRELL: Absolutely, he went ballistic. When you look at exactly what happened, there are allegations that the initial report that CNN reported came from Dr. Ben Carson's camp. So then I was watching it live as all the tweets ensued thereafter, and it was coming from both left and right. It was all over the place. It was Rubio's campaign too that was tweeting out the same information. Good for Jeb Bush for sticking up for somebody. The one thing I will say about Donald Trump is I am grateful he's in this, because if it weren't for him we would be - I would be in here probably having to talk about Jeb Bush instead of Ted Cruz.</s>DEAN: Well it's good to see Jeb Bush with a little more energy there, but also, a news flash, he also lost Iowa but lost it very badly and he's going to lose New Hampshire very badly. But, a quick correction on the time line with the Ted Cruz stuff.</s>MURRELL: Mm-hmm.</s>DEAN: So there was a CNN report that Carson was going to go back to Florida to do some laundry, get a change of close. But then the Carson campaign was very clear he was still in this -</s>VAUSE: Exactly, yes.</s>DEAN: But then the Cruz campaign didn't let the precincts know that there was this correction that Carson was still in this. So they took advantage of some news timing. It's politics; they did that. What concerns me though are the mailings that went out with the voter violations. That's some messy stuff, which I think is voter intimidation.</s>VAUSE: Yes, it's politics. It's -- sometimes it gets a little nasty. Andy, not a whole lot of high profile endorsements for Donald Trump, but we do have one tonight. Let's listen to this endorsement, sort of.</s>DEAN: Okay, very good.</s>PRES. JIMMY CARTER: If I had a choice between Cruz and Trump, I think I would choose Trump. The reason is that Trump has proven already that he's completely malleable.</s>VAUSE: Okay, this -</s>DEAN: It's the endorsement nobody wants.</s>VAUSE: Yeah.</s>DEAN: We'll ignore that one.</s>VAUSE: You guys jumped on this one.</s>MURRELL: The word malleable, I don't think anyone on either side of the fence wants their candidate to be called malleable.</s>VAUSE: Especially by Jimmy Carter -</s>DEAN: Yes.</s>MURRELL: Yes.</s>VAUSE: -- for the Republicans.</s>DEAN: You don't want Jimmy Carter in the same sentence with your candidate; yes.</s>MURRELL: No.</s>VAUSE: Okay; we've talked about Jeb Bush. He has a new ad out and it's actually not from him. It's by his Super PAC. Let's play a little bit of that, because I thought this was interesting.</s>DEAN: Okay. (Jeb Bush Commercial Plays)</s>VAUSE: You're sighing, Ann-Marie. Why are you sighing?</s>MURRELL: Well, it seems like the only endorsements he's really getting are from his family members. It's a little sad.</s>DEAN: It's depressing.</s>MURRELL: I'm going to tell you this.</s>VAUSE: But George Bush, has he remained popular in the republican party? Does he carry weight still because a lot of people outside of the republican party may say really?</s>DEAN: Look, I think Barbara Bush is the most popular member of the Bush family and she six months ago was telling Jeb not to run. He should have listened to mom because she's the smart one.</s>VAUSE: (Inaudible) Bush never carried New Hampshire in 2000. He lost it to Kerry in 2000 -</s>DEAN: McCain in 2000. That's right.</s>VAUSE: But he lost it in the general to John Kerry.</s>DEAN: Right.</s>VAUSE: So why would you roll out George W. Bush, the man responsible for the Iraq War and the economic collapse?</s>MURRELL: Before the 2012 elections, a deep insider in the Republican Party told me that 2016 was going to be Jeb Bush's. And, again, if it hadn't been for Donald Trump, it would be Jeb Bush. He would have been McCain/Romney/Bush. At the time I remember laughing at this very nice gentleman saying there's no way that America would accept another Bush. especially after George</s>W., -- VAUSE: Absolutely.</s>MURRELL: -- and unfortunate -- I think he's still expecting both Cruz and Trump to fall and then he's still going to get to sweep in there and scoop up the remains.</s>VAUSE: Steven Bradbury, the great Australian ice skater who made the finals because three other people got knocked out for drug tests --</s>MURRELL: There you go.</s>VAUSE: -- and then everyone fell in the finals and he won a gold medal.</s>DEAN: Right.</s>VAUSE: The polls though, very quickly for Ted Cruz. Do you think Ted Cruz has taken a hit because of all the stuff out of Iowa and because essentially New Hampshire is not his kind of electorate?</s>MURRELL: Well New Hampshire, he probably wouldn't have won New Hampshire no matter what. No, I think he's going to do really, really well. He's got this amazing grass roots campaign. He's going directly to the people. He's not spending a fortune on hiring people to speak for him. He's just -- he's just really doing this -- the way I'm looking at this, no disrespect, this is kind of a tortoise and hare race -</s>VAUSE: Yes.</s>MURRELL: -- and Senator Cruz is the tortoise, slow and steady, and I think he's going to do really well.</s>VAUSE: Last word, okay. Thank you both for coming in.</s>DEAN: You've got it. Thank you very much.</s>VAUSE: Appreciate it. We'll take a quick break. A public health emergency has been declared in Florida. When we come back, that's happened after a spike in the cases of the Zika virus. Could this be the tip of the iceberg? Also, we'll talk with a family living with the neurological disorder linked to the Zika virus. Find out how their embracing life.
