on the republican side, republicans rely less on younger voters. younger voters make up a smaller portion of the republican primary and caucus electorates. we' re talking about iowa and new you' say, hey, it' s time for new leadership. marco rubio, for example, is one of the candidates in the republican -- fernando: well, i want to ask you about that, because he' s made that argument in a very clear way. yet, he has, at least seemingly, very little traction in the polling. what do you think is the disconnect there? steve: well, look, i think that because younger voters make up a very small portion of the that' s not an argument right now that' it comes to taking down ted cruz and donald trump. but once they move to a general election, and it comes to facing the democratic nominee, cutting into the advantage that barack obama has had in the past two elections among younger voters is going to be essential for the republicans if they' re going to compete in the general election. fernando: what would be that argument that would convince millennial vote

while trump still holds his republicans. and now cruz is questioning whether trump has what it takes to win in iowa. >> it's very time intensive. it's labor intensive. you don't do it sitting back in the easy chair. tv studio in manhattan. >> reporter: an issue raised at caucusgoers in iowa conducted by frank luntz and google. abc news got an exclusive first look. >> how many of you say trump is raise your hands. he won't be happy with that. only two. how many say ted cruz will win? if trump is the nominee is there anyone in this room that would not vote for him? wow. >> i do not believe trump would put a good face on the republican party as president. >> so, you'd be prepared to see hillary clinton in the white house? >> unfortunately. >> reporter: but others find a lot to like about him. >> the man knows how to negotiate. he knows how to find the right people. >> reporter: trump's first television ad promoting his muslim ban generated the expected buzz. >> he's spot-on. the things he talked about in that ad is what is affe

republicans win when the our campaign is exciting millions of people. we will have a large voter turnout. i think we cannot only win the white house but we regain the senate and win governor chairs up and down this country. who's exciting the american i think our campaign is, martha. >> senator sanders, you said something to your suppotters yesterday that caught my ear, you quoted with pride a "wall street journal" article calling it appears that we are making wall street a little bit nervous and that's a good thing. the article was quoting the blackstone ceo, who said the markets are unsettled because of you, a slowdown in china and geopolitical risks. you're laughing. but i want to know, why is it a good thing that markets are in turmoil? >> first of all, martha -- >> it's not just wall street. everybody's affected by this. >> the reason that i am laughing is i fully admit to having a big ego, like many other politicians. but the idea that bernie sanders' candidacy, because it has growing support all over this country is unsettling world the point tha

a lot of other republicans jockeying for position. when i talk to other campaigns, they are always like marco rubio did not put enough time in a new hampshire early on. what do you say to respond to that criticism that you were not here as much as other candidates? sen. rubio: candidates are going to say whatever they think gives them the advantage it we have been here basically every other day for the last month and a half. our bus has been here and we are going to be back again repeatedly. we are excited and we are going to continue to work here today, tomorrow,. i feel good about it. i think people in new hampshire understand as the first in the nation they has an important obligation in selecting the right nominee for the party. committed, as i am, to reversing the damage barack obama has done. i am getting rid of everyone of his executive orders. everyone of his illegal and constitutional orders. we are going to re-embraced free enterprise, not government takeover of our economy. we going to deal with immigration, no amnesty, san

the republicans keep trying to repeal it and offer nothing in place of it. so, rather than tear it apart or get rid of it and start all over again in a contentious national debate, let's do what i'm proposing to get costs down, get more support for families who face big medical costs let's deal with the rising costs of prescription drugs. that's the right way for the country to go and certainly it's what i'm advocating. >> you also have your differences over wall street. i was struck this morning, american crossroads, the super pac founded by karl rove has just launched this online ad in iowa. >> hillary clinton has gone 54 times more money from wall street interests than all of iowa. hillary rewarded wall street with the $700 billion bailout. multimillionaire. >> i represented wall street. >> yep, you sure did, hillary. >> that echoes the points being made by bernie sanders and his campaign. are you worried that your ties to wall street are weighing you down? >> well, first, let me say, it shows how desperate the republicans are to prevent from becoming the

is the republican party sliding into, essentially a white party, quote unquote? norm: yes, i think what keeps me awake at night as much as anything, we' ve had this partisan tribalism. it' s not just polarization, it' s tribalism. tribalism is where you are not enemy. now, if you layer onto that the other reality, the republican party is becoming a white party, more of a white party and -- and everything going on in this presidential campaign drives non-whites further away. and the democratic party is becoming predominantly a party of minorities. you' re layering race onto partisan tribalism. that' s a very dangerous phenomenon, and donald trump, of course, is throwing a lot of gasoline on that simmering fire fernando: on a realistic basis, maybe this goes beyond realism, we' re a very big country. we cannot have the same government structure we had in the 18th century. we have an empire. we have to govern. how can we do it with people who have never been in government? norm: we can' t. and i think trump does have the self-confidence that he exudes. i run things,

then a choice between a dark republican party or a native republican party. or somebody who wants to open up the company. somebody who said yesterday's candidate wants to take us back to yesterday. you would have a generational -- the video you showed of the clinton rally i thought was so powerful. i thought that rally looked old. it felt old. it felt lifeless. bernie sanders, i agree with matthew. >> we're talking about trump's chances. i think a lot of -- look back, we're going to look back at this one and, again, see a media malpractice. that led our media to tissue he's a right wing -- >> there's no question he is leading. here's the question i have. i have interviewed him 20 times since june. he's been asked every single tough question. come at him. he's done things that would drive other candidates out of the race, in a heart beat, but it hasn't happened to him. why? >> if you want to -- we talk about bernie sanders out of sync with the majority. which i believe he's not. donald trump is in sync with right wing populism. the other day, he said medicare

this was mainstream republican thinking, and i think it still is. but that' s the big story of the year. is it? fernando: let' s talk about the democrats. are you expecting any surprises? on her way to becoming the party nominee? carl: i can answer that question. yes. [laughter] she' s the establishment candidate. 100% name id, she can raise more money than she can spend in a campaign. known quantity, for her faults and her virtues, people kind of know them. the polls come out, show they don' t entirely trust the clintons, but they think they' re tough and competent, their best friends will say that about them. so the public knows these people, and they' re a known quantity. but they have restlessness on their side, too. the occupy wall street wing of the party, turns out it' s not 5%. maybe 40%. bernie sanders is out-polling her in these places, in these key early states. he' s not really in any conventional way even running for president. he won' t attack hillary clinton. remember the first democratic debate where he says, "i don' t want to hear a

the reality is the great majority of them are democrats or republicans, and they vote like republicans or democrats. if you run a campaign that republican issues like kasich has to attract independent voters, you will probably lose. jon huntsman tried that strategy in 2012 and finished in distant third place. in fact, a lot of people refer to john kasich as doing the full huntsman this year. fernando: struggling candidates will have just over two weeks to catch the front-runners before voters go to the polls for the nation' s first primary. >> coming up next, cracking code words on the campaign trail. >> there has definitely been the person who lives here... has to solve problems as big as the world... and as small as your kitchen table. that's the job. everyday. and now, the first lady who helped get healthcare for eight million kids... the senator who helped a city rise again... the secretary of state who stood up for america, and stared down hostile leaders around the world. is the one candidate for president who has every part of the job she'll never let anyone privatize social sec

reporter: in fact, sanders beats every republican in this survey head to head. but the reality is hillary clinton is the national democratic frontrunner, and probably the favorite to win the nomination. how does she do against trump? she also wins, but by only a 9-point margin. clinton also beats ted cruz by six points, just outside the marriage inof error. it's there that things get sticky for clinton. marco rubio beats her by a point, while john kasich is deadlocked in this poll with clinton, each getting 43%. in fact, every republican in this survey has a better shot at beating clinton in november than donald trump does. >> i think the republican candidates, other than donald trump, need to wake up. reporter: but g.o.p. strategist also says time is running out. for those chasing trump to make what could be their strongest argument to date. >> so they need to start talking to republican voters and saying if you want the white house someone else other than donald trump. josh: we did reach out to trumps campaign for reaction to this and we were told that of cour

there will be a lot of republican and democratic candidates. gop contenders include rubio, kasich, paul, christie, and fiorina. bernie sanders and bill clinton will be here today. hillary clinton was among four presidential candidates who hosted their first new hampshire town halls of 2016 on sunday. former secretary of state, hillary clinton, held three town halls across the state on sunday. in derry, she talked about how she would fight for equal pay for women, something she says sets her apart from republican candidate. not everyone was a clinton supporter. republican state representative catherine o'brien spoke without being called on saying she was trying to ask clinton about her husband's sexual impropriority years ago. >> wait a minute. >> you are very rude. call on you. ray: bernie sanders held two town halls and a round table. he says his message is raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires. >> i want to make the point for the umpteenth time. this is the richest state in the world. millions of people should not be living in povert

we as republicans need to own that truth. we need to recognize our contributions to the erosion of the public trust in america's leadership. we need to accept that we've played a role in how and why our government is broken. and then, we need to fix it. the foundation that has made america that last best hope on earth hasn't gone anywhere, it still exists. it's up to us to return to it. for me, that starts right where it always has. i am the proud daughter of my brothers, my sister and me every day how blessed we were to live in this country. growing up in the rural south, my family didn't look like our neighbors and we didn't have much. there were times that were tough, but we had each other and we had the opportunity to do anything, to be anything, as long as we were willing to work for it. my story is really not much different from millions of other americans. immigrants have been coming to our shores for generations, to live the dream that is america. they wanted better for their children than for themselves. that remains

republicans have a different take on the government's role. aixa diaz breaks it down. >> among the major issues debated on the campaign trail, climate change is one of the most polarizing. change and reducing the amount of carbon is an issue. >> unveiling a plan for power plants and three months later he rejected the keystone pipeline. >> that can lead to sea level rise and weather events. the time for action is now. >> there are solutions and they are available today, if policy makers will embrace them. >> these policies really look at temperatures. >> nicholas of the mayor taj foundation say more regulations do little for the environment and end up hurting the economy. >> it's for everything we make and do, you'll be hit when you go to the grocery store and the home depot. >> a candidate's position on climate change could be at that double-edged sword. >> the risk, you get too far to on the environment over the economy, it could be vulnerability over the election and republicans talking about science, not dealing with the issue in an em -- e

let's hear from the next group of republican candidates. >> for years i would watch democrats, republicans go out to lunch, go out to dinner, they were friends, they'd talk, they'd work deals. i guess the best example is tip o'neil and ronald reagan. now they don't even talk to each other. deals that could easily make, for instance bringing trillions of dollars back into this country, everybody wants to do it, everybody agrees it should be done, democrats and republicans. for three years they haven't they can't even make a deal if everybody agrees, which is also a bad leadership in terms of the president. but we will get people working together again, i'm friendlier on both side. i've gotten along with both side, if anything i've been criticized because i'm able to get along with everybody. people say oh, you shouldn't be able to get along. i'm a conservative republican, but i get along with democrats, i get along with everybody. and we will get them working together again. it has never been so divided. washington d.c. is gridlock. >> i'm running for president to fix a few really big compl

say that we need to be considering or is it reality on the republican side? ms. fiorina: people are fed up and now they are afraid. we' ve had two major terrorist attacks in this country since 9/11. hillary clinton is talking about climate change and gun control. yes, people are frustrated and set up. lecturing us about those fears does not help. we need to present solutions. i am the only leader who knows how to solve these. cut our government and hold it accountable. i will lead in the world as we need to restore possibilities in this nation. we can do all these things. it' s silly to say that people don' t have a right to be angry and frustrated, we are angry and frustrated, i am. but it' s unproductive to serve provide a solution. a leader provides solutions and that is why i rolled out my blueprint to take the country hampshire about. josh: let' s talk about guns. from your standpoint, gun violence is a problem. everybody can agree with that. it is what to do about it. what is reasonable as far as what the federal government can do, background checks, me
