jon: see you back here in one hour. jenna: "outnumbered" starts now. >> this is a fox news alert. big political news today. mitt romney announcing he will not run for the 2016 republican nomination. this is "outnumbered," i'm andrea tan terrace. here is today, harris faulkner, melissa francis, actress stacey dash and today's #oneluckyguy, actor, producer author and, of course hercules -- [laughter] hollywood's kevin sorbo. he's "outnumbered." >> good to be back, thanks. >> and a big news day. >> it is. >> lots of politics. >> usually. >> and we can't wait to get your thoughts. and since you're hercules you don't care what anyone in

hollywood thinks. [laughter] >> you care a little bit. >> oh, just a little bit. >> not really. >> stacey's like, i could care less. i love it girl. all right. romney had a hefty lead in the latest polls and he admits he could win in his third run at the white house, but he says it's time to give other leaders in the party to become the next nominee. carl cameron is live in washington. carl? >> hi, andrea. it took only three weeks for mitt romney to, in his words, seriously consider a third presidential run and then say he's not going to do it. he did say the fundraising calls indicated he could have earned the money. the latest poll showed him ahead against the field double digits, but last weekend he began to see and hear about a lack of enthusiasm from the grassroots conservative base particularly. romney has said to the base, to republicans that he would really like to lead them and just they

weren't enthusiastic and were, ultimately, some of his supporters were siding with other campaigns. here's what romney told supporters around the country just an hour ago on a conference call. watch. >> i feel that it's critical that america elect a conservative leader to become our next president. you know that i wanted to be that president. but i don't want to make it more difficult for someone else to emerge who-off a better chance -- who may have a better chance of becoming that president. you can't imagine how hard it is for ann and me to step aside especially knowing of your support and the support of so many people across the country. we believe it's for the best of the party and nation. >> so with romney out of the race the latest fox poll shows that it is a wide open contest. the top five candidates are all bunched up within about six points of each other. a lot of romney's biggest donors and even some of his most important former staffers were

already signing up with other campaigns or just not coming back. his 2008 and 2012 iowa guruday kochel -- dave kochel signed up with jeb bush's pac the other day, and it wasn't what pushed romney out, although a lot of people are going to make a one to one correlation. a lot of insiders say he realized with a conservative base there was more animosity than enthusiasm. >> carl, i think that was very honest of romney to admit that there was a lack of enthusiasm. that was pretty candid of him to say, look people just aren't that excited about me. but i'm not really buying that jeb bush isn't really a factor or that the fact that jeb bush is raising so much money and that these key romney aides are defecting to jeb bush. i'm not really buying that wasn't a big reason that he decided not to run. >> yeah. there's been a couple of small instances like this one with mr. kochel going to the bush pac that have been highlighted by the media but there's a real

scramble underway in the early voting states for staffers. there's so many republican candidates, and a finite number of real seasoned pros who can do this sort of stuff. so jeb bush was getting a lot of old mitt romney donors and supporters and volunteers and staffers, people sending him resumés. the romney campaign such as it was, or might have been recognized all that. i watched mitt romney's speech to the republican national committee when they were meeting out in san diego. they were cordial and polite and even some encouragement, but the whispers in the hallways were almost unanimous, people thought it was a little bit crazy. there was an indiana big summit of -- iowa big summit last weekend in des moines, and some of his potential rivals pretty much dissed him, although they didn't call him out by name from the podium, and throughout the entire weekend conservatives in iowa weren't showing any interest for him. and so this all got back to mitt romney. some of his top advisers really wanted him to go for it, and ann is and his family did too but he has always prided himself and

jammed down the throats of reporters that he's a real numbers cruncher a data analyst and a research guru to the point of being a geek. so he had to have heard some of this reluctance, and here you are, he's not running. >> hey campaign carl it's harris. just to reiterate, mitt is a patriot, and i join many in hoping his days of serving our nation and our party are not over. sounds like he's going to need his help. >> oh sure. and one of the things in the sort of individual relationship between jeb bush and mitt romney was the romney camp was complaining jeb bush was slow to endorse mitt in 2012 and wasn't beating the bushes for the romney candidacy. the truth of the matter is all these republicans are very well acquainted they do business various is different/similar people, and it would have been a very very, very bloody primary for mitt romney. it's still going to be for the

rest of them without him but had he gotten in payoff his record and because -- because of his records and because republicans have always been suspicious of him as a former massachusetts governor who changed his position on social positions, it wasn't going to be pretty. they figured that out. he didn't win the nomination in '08. in 2012 he did but the field then is nothing like it is in '16. it's much more combative, a much more full campaign of candidates with bigger resumés, more experience louder voices and mitt romney wasn't powering over the 2016 campaign field the way he was perceived to in 2012. in. >> carl it's fascinating you couldn't even fit all of the names of the republican male, white candidates on that one full screen that you showed. even though we don't have mitt romney in the race there's still plenty of 2016 talk that -- >> it makes the old brady bunch tv show too small. you have got to have 25 people on screen. [laughter] >> campaign carl a busy day for you always.

thank you. >> dr. ben carson -- >> yeah, ben carson. >> and i know carly carly fiorina is probably thinking about it. >> i know, but still if you're the democrat, you're looking at that screen going oh, wow how are we going to fit them on the stage? >> the one thing that stuck out and carl caught it too, i believe that one of our next generation of republican leaders who may not be as well known as i am today one who has not yet taken their message across the country, one who is getting started may well emerge as being able to defeat the democrat nominee. >> in fact, i expect and hope that to be the case. wow. what does that say about everybody else on that list? >> it's exciting. >> he's definitely throwing shade jeb bush's way, i would say for sure. you know, i spoke to donors who reached out to me saying they got the call from romney after they had written the check to jeb bush saying can you press pause, can you let me talk to

you one more time, and he was trying to stay in the race and, you know i think finally it seems like he finally faced the music that he didn't have the support out there. just trying to hang in to the end, i appreciate what he said about being a data geek. i love someone who can do math and crunch numbers. i don't think we have anyone in washington who can sit there and crunch numbers and our finances are in disarray as a result. he was just not the guy to get it done. >> and as i told carl cameron i thought it was pretty honest of mitt romney to say, look, people just areping up and down at the thought of me doing this again more a third run. he was very candid about that. >> yeah. i i mean, i met him. i thought he was great. i voted for him the last election because i wanted somebody who was a business guy, and i've told people this many times before, prior to 2008 i don't think any president with the record that president obama had those first four years would have been reelected with what he had. it's like along with carter. you look at that and go wow, this is where we're at right now, this is where the country's at right now, so there's a

change. you know there's a changing in the guard of the way people vote in the country now and it's kind of sad. >> stacey, does it trouble you at all that we could have the same kind of primary we had last time? >> no. and i think the fact that he is a numbers guy makes me believe he's a chess move. i don't believe he's not going to run. >> really? you think i he's going to get back in? >> i do. i think he is the man for the country. i think he is the man -- >> even though he just said he's not going to run. >> like i said he's a numbers guy, and i think it's a chess move. >> but a numbers guy would have to start raising money right now. >> he knows how to raise money. he's proven that. >> well -- >> he knows all about money. [laughter] >> i mean, that's how i feel about elizabeth warren. i say that, and it's not out in left field to me, yeah. >> only in this, when that list starts to thin out, doesn't it maybe -- i don't know -- does it come back to those same two guys? if that happens, then maybe. i i mean, i don't know. >> listen, as someone who's worked on campaigns, you've got

to put in the infrastructure now. and i'll tell you, all the headlines this week were about how key advisers to mitt romney -- which, granted, these are advisers that helped romney lose not once, but twice -- are being scooped up by jeb bush. i don't know how much that helps jeb bush to have a bunch of advisers that failed mitt romney device. >> that's a good point. >> and these advisers have been the story. it hasn't been about jeb bush or mitt romney, it's just been about this guy's going to take position which is never a good thing. >> so i hi this is interesting. and, again, these are twitter accounts. senator rand paul, you know it's probably an aide or somebody tweeting, his first tweet: i hope to work together with mitt to grow our party and lead our country toward. and then another from senator rand paul that goes on about wishing mitt and ann the best and so on and so forth. again, i can't tell exactly -- >> vice presidential potential? >> let's saws they they came been moments of each other. mitt romney potentially, think

about all the candidates he helped in congress on their march in. >> yeah. >> he's got some juice. he may not be able to use it all for himself right now. >> that's a great point. >> maybe he's saying, too, pick me for vp. >> right. >> now that we know romney is out, what does that moon for the democratic side? particularly, hillary clinton. this as a new poll shows her support among democrats is falling. that's up next. ♪ ♪ jack's heart attack didn't come with a warning. today, his doctor has him on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one. if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor before your begin an aspirin regimen. listen up... i'm reworking the menu. veggies you're cool... mayo, corn dogs...you are so out of

unicorn -- [laughter] >> they call themselves blue dogs. >> i i guess -- [laughter] [inaudible conversations] >> i think it depends on how left hillary clinton becomes. is she going to be like her husband bill, or is she going to go really really far left and have to, you know become president obama, basically, to shore up that base and oust -- >> or elizabeth warren -- >> -- threat from, well, from elizabeth warren. she'd have to dart far left. but i think the way that this helps hillary -- or i should say hurts, she wants a clearly identifiable enemy. she wants somebody that she can run against and know exactly who that's going to be. if it's going to be jeb bush, i think hillary's very excited about that because she can say do you want the clinton economy, or do you want a bush economy in and i think it'll be very easy for him -- for her to turn him into w. >> taste see when you -- stacey, when you look at the number why do you think democrats are pulling away from hillary clinton? >> because her numbers are
