Cenk and John are the hosts. Hispanics frown upon Donald Trump, but are in favor of Hillary Clinton. Jeb Bush answered the question about his use of the term Anchor Babies by blaming Asians instead of Latinos. Video of his explanation. Cenk thinks that Jeb is right about Asians doing it systematically. Donald Trump quickly responded via Twitter, claiming that Jeb is a mess and offends Asians. Ted Cruz and Ellen Page had a heated discussion over LGBT rights at the Iowa State Fair. Videos of the back and forth. Jayar was frustrated by the fact that Cruz avoided her original question and simply pushed his talking points onto her instead. Video of Cruz redirecting the argument again toward gay persecution in Iran. Video of Cruz’s interview on NewsMax where he characterized the conversation with Page as an example of the persecution of Christians via liberal fascism and intolerance. GOP pollster Frank Luntz asked Trump supporters about their love for Donald and the results had frightening results. One supporter said it’s obvious he wants to make America great again, because it's on his hat! After showing video of him disrespecting women and flip flopping on issues, they said it made them like him more. Luntz discovered that they don’t think he can do anything wrong. Cell phone video showed a Philly cop extorting money from a driver that had an unregistered car.
