now to2016. republican front-runner donald trump continues to take aim at some of his rivals.

during a campaign stop in iowa, trump talked about the exit of former texas governor rick perry from the race. trump said he's gone, good luck, he was very nasty to me. trump also set his sights on ben carson who comes behind trump second in most polls. he said he doesn't have the energy to negotiate with world leaders. it's been two monthses since new jersey governor chris christie announced his campaign for president. governor christie will get a chance to sell himself to the nation this morning as a guest on "meet the press." joining us for a preview is moderator chuck todd. good morning. >> good morning. >> hopes were once really high
