Thank you.

Thank you.

soft electronic music

[McKinnon] Hold on one second.

Where's the volume on this?

soft eerie music

[woman] Whoo!

[woman]

Trump speaks the truth!

Mr. Halperin,

are you miked?

[Heilemann] We haven't really

seen anything like this

in American politics

in this millennium.

Make America great again.

[Heilemann]

This has got the flavor of

- a music festival, right?

- [McKinnon] Yeah.

eilemann] They're fans as much

they are voters, right?

[McKinnon] There's a movement

psychology for sure.

- Yeah.

- [McKinnon] They feel like

they're part of something

special and unique

and they want to be there

to experience it.

[Heilemann] Donald Trump,

love him or hate him,

he said some things that people

think are vile and offensive.

Whatever you think about Trump,

though, ideologically,

he's such a big figure.

There's a lot

of charisma there.

There's a lot of just

confidence.

I understand why that guy's

a front-runner.

You got this huge

Republican field.

You got chaos

in the establishment.

[Fiorina]

Mismanaged going into Iraq.

[Hewitt] Dr. Carson,

is the Middle East--

[Fiorina]

We mismanaged going out.

- [Hewitt] Dr. Carson.

- [Cruz] The question of

- whether we can...

- Hold on, hold on.

- The problem with defeat...

- [Blitzer] Senator. Senator.

We're gonna get to you.

[Fiorina] Hope at some point,

you're gonna ask me my strategy

- for defeating ISIS.

- [Blitzer] We will get--we--

we have a lot of time.

Donald is great

at the, uh, one-liners.

But he's a chaos candidate.

- And he'd be a chaos president.

- [applause]

We need toughness.

Honestly, I think Jeb

is a very nice person.

You said in September 30th

that ISIS was not a, uh...

- Am I talking...

- ...not a factor.

- ...or are you talking, Jeb?

- I'm talking right now.

- You can go back.

- I'm talking right now.

- You can go back.

- I'm talking.

You're not talking.

You interrupted me, Jeb.

- September 30th, you said it.

- Are you gonna apologize, Jeb?

No.

Am I allowed to finish?

[Heilemann] There's no

establishment front-runner.

And there's no sign that

that's gonna change in any way.

Brilliant. Prompter, thank you.

That was fantastic.

- As you wish.

- [McKinnon] Okay, we need

to run through the-the C, D,

E, F, G, H, I, J pages.

[Heilemann] Oh, my God.

Jesus.

Our brand-new Bloomberg Politics

Des Moines Register

Iowa Poll is out today,

shows Ted Cruz and Donald Trump

leading the pack

in the Hawkeye State.

They are basically tied.

We know there are

deep cleavages in the party.

And that's why the party

is in so much trouble.

- This foreshadows--

- Deep and passionate.

This foreshadows

the fight we will see
