. >> host: okay, jim janet antle s pushing back on the criticism from ted cruz. but it poll that shows that he's making headway is, or those attacks working against donald trump? >> guest: we saw when he is actually attacked and treated like a normal candidate, it does have an effect on his numbers and certainly on his favorables even if it doesn't seem to end his core base vote. being good disciples of atoms become as republicans often are, that we are each looking at their comparative advantage. ted cruz is a checklist conservative. he can check all the boxes on the issues and say i have taken conservative positions and vote for the conservative way on those issues. donald trump is more of an attitudinal conservative. he's not a movement conservative come as he is comes he is appealing to sort of an attitude and anger come and so cruz is attacking him on whether he's been consistent on the issues and seeing if he can get some traction. >> host: and then you have jeb bush who's put all his chips in new hampshire and south carolina. according to the polls that we

jim antle. >> yeah, there's no question that his family ties are why he is so well-funded.the question is, you talk to republican primary voters all the time who say, you know, i kind of like jeb, but one, i don't think the country needs another bush. and two, i'm tired of there being so many bushes. so the politics maybe a benefit to him as he got out of the gate have really been more of a stumbling block as we head into the primaries. >> kathy, good morning to you. independent caller. >> caller: good morning. how are you? >> good morning. who are you going to vote for? >> caller: we're trump supporters. >> okay. >> caller: just about my whole family is a trump supporter, even my sisters, her husbands. and we don't have land lines. and the thing that i like about -- >>> all right. good afternoon everybody. nice to see a good crowd here today. i have joining me at the briefing the deputy national security adviser ben rhodes. as many of you know and have covered ben was instrumental in implementing the president's vision for advancing our cuba policy. and made a pretty histo

host: jim antle? would be on asich lot of people's short list for vice president. he has done some things as governor that have alienated conservatives. the medicare expansion, the rhetoric used in arguing with opponents of that expansion. solid conservative record in the governor of ohio, he must win state for republicans if they are going to win in november. it is hard to see john kasich's path forward after new hampshire. but i could see him on a lot of people's short list for vice president. host: south carolina and the newspaper down there. guest: a lot of editorial boards really like john kasich. host: a democrat. caller: i have got a comment. i want to say i'm kind of with theted republicans and their party. they do nots like care what happens to america. everything is obama's fault. i have a quick story. i did not agree with anything george bush had to say, but when he got us through -- a shoe thrown at him, i was so angry they have the nerve to do that to my president, even though i do not agree with him. i feel like republicans do not care what happens to
