hindrance but will win this 2016. this is a long road for jeb bush and a positive campaign and one of 11 candidates vying for his party nomination andy gallagher, miami, florida. >> all there at al jazeera.com. today florida's former governor officially entered the presidential race, a guy named john e bush. he's comfortable using his nickname jeb. over night. a big flashy presidential appearance was made in new york, her name is hillary, she's with respect known, with virtually 100% name recognition.

a lot of others announced they'd too like to be president. what two big names mean in the race for the white house. it's tonight's "inside story". welcome to "inside story". i'm ray suarez. some 20 people have officially declared their intentions or are preparing to run for president in 2016. two names dominated the coverage and the national conversation about fundraising, family connections, and the establishment picks of the two main political policies. >> jed bush and hillary clinton give strength and baggage to the work of running for president. i looked at them and the larger ray of opponents that say they want to be the next president.

we looked at the governor, putting his hat into the ring. >> the joys is taking shape. the party in the white house is planning the primary, changing election, holding on to power, slog on with the same agenda under another name. that's the opponents call for action this time around. that's all they've got left. as our nation learnt since 2008, executive experience is another term and there is no substitute for that we are not going to clean up the mess in washington by electing the people that helped create it or have proven incapable of fixing it. with their phone it in foreign policy, the obama, clinton, terry team is leading a legacy

of crisis uncontained. violence unopposed, friends undefended and alliances unralelling. i use my veto power to protect the taxpayers from needless spending. if elected president i'll show congress how that is done. >> joining us for this look at two big names in the race for president are democratic strategist mercer. republican strategist routed hayne, and al jazeera's political correspondent michael shure. bruce haines - looking slim, a little more silver haired. jed bush made, what, nobody doubted that he would do weeks ago official. good day for him? >> i think it was a good day for jeb. i think he exceeded expectations. i don't think anyone accused jed

bush of being a leading candidate. what we saw, was a campaign that could put on a good event. this was not a primary style roll out. it was presidential quality. exciting people in the hall. a lot of enthusiasm, and he gave a great speech. he flew a few elbows, and defined his differences and talked about the future. and seemed like a candidate that could have fun. just as ms clinton didn't do bad last week, jed did good today. >> michael shure, there's a lot of republicans running for president. is it tough to stand out. to stand head and shoulders one. >> that's where name recognition helps. it helps jed bush that he's from a dine aftic family, it helps in that it elevates him nab not in political stature or ideas, but in name recognition.

when you have a huge field like the republicans have. that will probably help a lot. >> a huge field means he'll have argument, disputes, live and on tv, with people who some republicans don't think belong on the same stage as him. >> i agree, it's a matter of eeny, mooepy, miny, mow. i don't think bush, with some. stumbles he had leading up to the speech, that he has the leadership to distinguish himself from the other nine to 11 candidates that are getting in the race. it would be telling. i would say to michael's point that the bush name could work against you. as larry said, he is not doing well, or as well as - he's in a worse position now than his dad was back when he first ran against clinton or when bush ran

against gore or kerry. he has some fine-tune toing do if he will. especially now that he's shuffled his campaign staff - senior or otherwise. >> is it reasonable if you are going to game plan a bush candidacy, that you have gone over in exhaustive detail how to answer questions about the george w. bush administration. preparations. >> if you are talking about the iraq war question, i have worked for a governor. he is the guy that has to call the family of a national guardsman that died in combat, and has to tell them that your son or daughter has been lost in action. i'm sorry about that. it was tough to turn around and say you know, the war was not worth fighting. that's the kind of person he is. he doesn't want to denning rate what he told the families. going forward.

he'll handle it a lot better. it's a tough thing to come to terms with, the way the war is. >> to be honest. he's been asked in several ways, about several big issues, the residue of his brother's time as resident. is this a time where he'll have answers. >> i don't think he can come up answers. we saw the beginning of that today. we'll focus on talking about his own record. he saw himself as the fix-it guy who could get things down. he created a million jobs and reforms. he talked about conservation and how to keep america strong in a world where our enemies don't fear us or trust us. again, he's going to answer the

questions and will spend most of the time on where he should. can you overestimate or underestimate the drag that the george w. bush years represent for jed bush. >> you can't. you can look at whether or not he's able to separate himself. whether he's able to be his father's son or brother's brother. that will be the task at hand. jed has another issue, which is he cannot decide what he wants to talk about. america, the voters are going to stay "you have to talk about your brother." gentlemen, stay with us, we'll talk about hillary clinton prospects and problems. after a video launched. the former secretary of state gathered a big state in new york. to big names like tonight's "inside story".

story", i'm ray suarez. at the close of the last presidential campaign, hillary clinton conceded defeat, and says her supporters put 18 million cracks in the glass seal, standing between

women and the oval office. clinton held the first major rally of a run for the white house. paul beban covered the rally on new york's roosevelt island. >> that is why i'm running for president of the united states. >> reporter: in front of a cheering, flag-waving crowd, hillary clinton made her case for winning the white house. throughout the 45 minute speech, the former first lady, secretary of state balanced popular promises to build a fairer america with personal history. >> my mother taut me that everyone needs a chance and a champion. she knew what it was like, not to have either one. her own parents provided her, by 14 she was out on her own working as a house made. >>

again and again clinton returned to stories of strength and pride from her family. >> she would remind me why they keep fighting. even while the odds are long and opposition fears. i can hear her saying life is not about what happened to you, it's about what you do with what happens to you. so get back out there. >> reporter: it's part of her campaign's plan to reframe her personae, a hard walking woman, and less of a cold-heart woman. she vowed to tackle climate change and financial reform. >> while republicans have been taking shots at her age, clinton embraced it. >> i may not be the youngest candidate in this case, but i will be the youngest woman president in the

history of the united states. >> reporter: few in saturday's crowd needed convincing that hillary's time has cox. >> thrilled to see her return for president. the idea of hillary as history maker was one with cross generational appeal. >> are you excited to see a woman running for president? >> yes. >> do you think it's important. >> yes. >> do you think it's important house. >> it's important, if a man can can. >> that park dedicated to franklin roosevelt's enduring vision of america. a nation we wanted to be, in a ceilings. >> clinton's move to invoke fdr's social and economic programs may have won her a few more supporters.

>> i came into the rally undecided on who to vote for. i find that hillary was running the campaign, and should have been running in 2008. to drive home the theme of family, hillary was joined on stage by the people that would be the famous first family history david mercy, michael shure and bruce haips are with me. she talked a lot about her mother, less about her famous husband. is there a delicate walk that has to be made for the next 15 months or so by the secretary of state. >> i think the of state wants to connect with the american people, and in doing so will let them know who she is, what she stands for, her before.

we've had two terms, eight years getting to know bill clinton, it's time for her to set history and become the first woman nominee, to become the first woman president of the united states. i think that she is well on her way to doing so. i think that she will continue what the obama administration had to do when we talk about the message that jed bush was referring to. that was a mess that his brother created that had to up. we have to continue that, and do so where all americans can enjoy the recovery, and for standing by through the hardship they had to go through before. that's what you are looking for hillary clinton to do. we'll watch her do that in the coming months. >> no candidate had to talk to a spouse's time as president.

not the easiest assignment to figure out how to do that. bill clinton left office popular but not universal by be-loed. >> i think as much as jed bush wants to be his own man, hillary clinton wants to be her own woman, also, she's in the same bucket as jed. she'll have to answer questions about her past, ties with the government. when it comes - she has her on baggage independent of family. she talks about fighting. a lot of rub want to know what she's -- republicans want to know what is she fighting for, the rivers of money flowing to the banks and hedge fund, or the emails secret, which was a pattern and behaviour. people in my party will try to drag forward. she'll have to answer a lot of those questions. these candidates are different. there's a lot of similarities

that they'll have to come to grips with. >> when you run to succeed a president of your own party, who primaries. >> it's a challenge, obviously, because you have to find a divide between yourself and the previous president. but at the same time you have to adopt that because he's the president of the party that you are trig to get the nomination for. that's a challenge. george h w bush had problems with it. and hillary clinton, a different problem. everywhere has an opinion. there are now voters that she can wow or win over. it's a matter of holding on to some, getting some to come out. i think it's different to the challenge that jed bush has. his challenge is to separate himself and get people to like him in a bigger field. that's what is going to be the clinton.

>> i'll say this, she's coming to this race with having had 18 million people voting. it was hers to claim. no one got that many votes. convinced that many people that they'll be on the side. i think that she's going to go ahead and do that. she's not going to address speculation about emails, this, that and the others, jed bush turned in a tenth of the emails. she is concerned with are they going to raise the minimum wage. making $12.6 million, compared $36,000. will we be on the side of the working class. that's what you'll hear from secretary clinton. >> it's an advantage to hillary clinton that she has a smaller, less fractured field. two declared opponents. >> it will be if she distances

herself from her deponents. you look at what is happening, 41% of the voters voted for bernie sanders. it's an advantage she can distance herself. she is yet to prove she can do that. there's some concern within the basis of the party. does she idea logically align base. she's been in different places. people are not sure. could she win a big race. she got $18 million bucks. her big race in the senate that they run. giuliani was bulling ahead. she is yet to prove. i don't know if i use that - gentlemen, stay with us. there are a lot of candidates that see a future president

looking back at them when i look at the mirror in the morning. delusional. we look at the two fields vying with the two big names for attention, ink and money, and how the other candidates could challenge the race. you are watching "inside story".

story". i'm ray suarez. vermont senator and presidential senator bernie sanders is hammering hillary clintoned for not stating her views. various are whacking away at jed bush for liberality on common core standards. and a bath for citizenship.

deep ties for long and established networks. the primary season for secretary clinton and george w. bush is more than formalities. michael shure, david mercer and bruce hans is with us. one of the other campaigns is on the phone. they want your valuable advice, and are willing to pay for it, about how to run for jed bush. these are the 16 or so candidates. >> jed bush knows how people will run against him. i'd try to position jed bush like you position hillary clinton as a candidate of the past. the party and the country moved beyond the days of bush and clinton. and there are more in the days of younger candidates like marco rubio or a scott walker or other

can date, that's the positioning. he is different. he is different from his family and he has his own ideas, he's his own man. future. >> david mercer, the phone is ringing, you pick it up. it's martin o'mallee, bernie sanders, and they want your advice on how to run against hillary clinton. what do you tell them? >> i say good luck and appreciate them raising the issues that they are. and may the best person win. >> give me the real advice. >> that is what - that's no other - there's no other way. and you have to think of an infrastructure campaign and otherwise, fielding people in different states, it's an uphill bit of for martin o'mallee or

bernie sanders to fill the staff or outreem efforts. it's raising a lot of money so you can enable yourself to do that and get the message up. i don't see as has been mentioned that there's a gap in there on the issues. she just came out today advising the president that he should take the direction of the minority leader nancy pelosi on trade. to try to bring that on the table in congress. she has her views and her thoughts on the way things should be. i don't think there's much golf between her and other candidates, which makes it tougher for the candidates to extinguish themselves. candidates. >> no one is calling me. >> you heard the prescription for the democrats. is it that hard to run against hillary clinton, who has some skeletons, some baggage, a drag

shoot behind her of some other people's creation, in many cases, but it is still there. >> i think there's a segment of democrats that don't want to hear about it. each if they support bernie sanders, he'll have an issue with you for getting chaffey in this discussion. there's a segment that don't want to hear it. they are keeping the powder warm and try for when the general election happens, if she's the candidate, then you go after her for the same thing. >> on the republican side some other candidates are trying to paint jed bush as a moderate. does that work? >> he was the ted cruz in his party in 1994, when she was running for governor, he was conservative, strident conservative. they, though, don't get a lot of currency out of changing his conserve tix. they come at it from a

conservative place, their problem is doing that. >> is this that much difference between cruz, rubio, two men that ran with tea party support, for their first terms, and one like jed bush, a conservative governor of florida. >> i would say the differences are in priorities than policies. with 30 seconds to go, are the two big names beatable for the nomination? >> my answer to that is hillary clinton is probably in the beatable. consideration. . >> no hands. there's a long campaign to come back and weigh in during the middle of the race. political strategist david

mercer. al jazeera michael shure will rack up the frequent flyer miles for the next 17 months thank you all. in a moment we have dynasties, big names, and the idea that anyone can be president. >> protestors are gathering... >> there's an air of tension right now... >> the crowd chanting for democracy... >> this is another significant development...

>> we have an exclusive story tonight, and we go live... >> my name is imran garda the show is called third rail, when you watch this show you're gonna find us being un-afraid. the topics will fascinate you, intrigue you... >> they take this seriously... >> let me quote you... >> there's a double standard... >>...could be a hypocrite >> you're also gonna get a show that's really fair bold... never predictable... >> the should be worried about heart disease, not terrorism... >> i wouldn't say that at all... >> you'll see a show that has an impact on the conventional wisdom that goes where nobody else goes... >> my name is imran garda i am the host of third rail and you can find it on al jazeera america knowing too much, or at least remembering too much. maybe you remember an old v h1 show called pop up videos, pop up music videos played and throughout the song from duran duran animated balloons popped up with context. back story, and sometimes

obscure facts. i thought about popped up videos during the hillary clinton speech, and today watching jed bush toss his hat into the ring in 2016. when hillary clinton talks about the first race of the century, there'll be a lot more to know and ask about her public opinions, and what happened between the bush v gore and the economic collapse, and when president bush talks about the collapse of the economy, the of math of the iraq war - call it the yes, but, problem. let's hold off on the coronation, there's a lot of yes, but question to be asked, answered or to pop up. i'm luis suarez, thank you for joining us on "inside story".
