neil bush, the brother of jeb bush went tore cruz. he's on the cruz finance committee. i think the establishment is moving to cruz. by the many very interesting that paul ryan being a very savvy political operator understands it very well could be trump and it's time to try to deal with trump rather than just condemn him. harris: john kasich does get crossover votes as well. democrats will say john kasich is not yelling at us and can possibly have crossover appeal. julie: john kasich needs to win more than he's winning now to be competitive. he's not resonating the way cruz is. harris: why did they get behind marco rubio? julie: he's one of them. harris: what does that mean? julie: he's young, he draws a contrast with hillary generationally. harris: he's establishment because it's young? julie: those of us who do campaigns for a living. we do a poll. we see what's the republican party missing? it's missing the youth, the demographics, the latinos. he's part of the senate, he's got same campaign, used to work for romney and bush and go to the same golf outings and eat st

neil: the bush family. >> i can't speak for anybody else. neil: how about mom? t mom, barbara bush. >> definitely not. neil: how about dad? [laughter]. >> i don't really know, i'm not going to speak for my dad. i'm not going to utter anything about my dad. neil: your brother, obviously not a fan, i'm talking george bush, the president. >> yeah, you know. neil: no one in your family likes donald trump. >> the dog maybe. neil: i'm not going to say that. >> i'm not going to speak for anybody in my family but me and my wife who shares my views. neil: all right, the reason why i mentioned it is because back to the thing, i know you got to go, but donald trump can't argue, look the participation in the polls and people voting, that's me. donald trump is saying that's me doing that, that's me bringing this collection of people who never voted, let alone republican, let alone vote at all who are coming to the republican party, and i'm the guy, and not the bushes and not the old establishment guys, you say what? >> read an interesting article, you may have read the same t

that's neil bush. i don't know what his brother, jeb bush is doing.s obviously meeting with any candidate not named trump. so what that ultimately brings an endorsement is anyone's guess or will move the needle. communications specialist lee carter, fox news contributor, author meghan mccain, what do you think? >> do i think it moves the needle? i think neil bush doesn't move the needle but i think carly fiorina could have a major impact. i was a huge huge carly fiorina fan and supporter. i think her most notable moment is when donald trump talked about her face and she responded so eloquently during the debate and i think she has the capacity of young conservative women taking a second look at ted cruz. for me, honestly i've been hesitant about ted cruz and the carly fiorina endorsement swayed my opinion. >> i don't think it does. i think carly's vote went elsewhere, to other candidates, some of them went to cruz and some of them went elsewhere. the percentage of her votes was at the time, 3%, 2%, that she dropped out. yes, do i think she is influent

last night neil bush doing the same on his show. oing it on the dividing lines all the establishment republicans lining. you ahead of that big event. what's at stake? blake? >> hi, there, neil, yeah, you talk about carly fiorina. the timing and location certainly interesting on this one for senator ted cruz today. keep in mind these campaigns can roll out an endorsement the placement and time they're choosing. well, today he announced the endorsement of carly fiorina, and he did so in the backyard of marco rubio. cruz is campaigning in miami today. that is rubio's hometown. and kind of grabbed a little bit of the attention down there in south florida when he unveiled the fiorina endorsement. cruz is trying to make the case that the math simply does not add up for marco rubio and john kasich going forward. of course the two of them are pinning their hoping of going forward next week whatever you want to call it, super tuesday too in their home states of florida and ohio. in that case fiorina trying to circle wagons around cruz. >> it

neil bush is also part of ted cruz's finance team.ry much for joining me. >> kate, it's my pleasure. thanks for having me. >> thank you. this was a big surprise this morning. your brother endorsing ted cruz. pretty amazing after the race that they ran and how they were pretty bitter rivals. he could have endorsed john kasich. he could have endorsed a guy who he was friends with many years before florida and marco rubio but he held out until now to endorse ted cruz. is this about ted cruz or is this more about beat trump? >> i think it's both. i think it's both. it's clearly about wanting to have conservative government. we have a speaker of the house and a senate majority leader ready to make reforms to our system to end the gridlock and ted cruz is a clear-minded, principled conservative leader. and so my brother jeb admires and respects that, i'm sure, and wants to see us make the reforms that will help move this country forward in a great way. but clearly, he along with rubio supporters that have dropped out see that donald trump,

neil bush signed up with them fo work on the financial newseam. live in the plex. robbin simmons. 7 news. >> belkeys: all right for tonights results and everything you need knowbout the white house stay with you 7 on air and on line on wsvn.com and through our voice your choice app available for down load. >>> >> >> craig: on just one station crews filming a movie on the beach and there ways real life rescue. rosh lowe live for us on miami beach with the exclusive. rosh. >> reporter: boy, we have an interesting one for you this evening. let me step out of way so you can see they are filming baywatch on miami beach and fimming it up in broward county. fiction. not only that but tonight we're talking to the life guard. we have the cell phone video. here it is. >> bay batch wach move the i week. if you know about baywatch, it's all about lifeguards saving people so. what happens when fact and fiction mix, let's introduce to you oliver medina. a real life lifeguard. and wait 'til you hear his story of real life rescue. right near the self baywatchn monday. it was maybe

to endorsement but declined to share their private conversation but it does appear another bush, neil bush has stiend work with the cruz campaign on their national sigh finance team. live in the newsplex. robbin simmons. 7 news. >> belkeys: all right robbin. the democrats set to duke it out in south florida tomorrow night bernie sanders getting a head start. nicole linsalata live in downtown miami where he is hiefght rally night nicole. >> well, belkeys, a lot of very enthusiastic bernie sanders innerring the james night center as we speak. but despite that one of the polls is showing bernie sanders now 26 points behind hillary clinton even among those who call themselves very liberal. we're talking about the state of fla. so it looks like this senator from vermont are will have an up hill battle here. we believe ultimately that w wn millions of people come together political process. there is nothing wick not accomplish. but what maybe difficult if not impossible for bernie sanders to accomplish. overtake former secretary of state hillary clinton in the della great count. each primary or

bush and jeb bush. neil, let me ask you what's your impression of what you're seeing here. 4,000-plus our reporter is saying of protesters, people breaking out and fighting all around this arena. what's your reaction, neil? >> it's shocking to me, erin. i appreciate your having me on. it kind of reminds me of the democrat convention during the vietnam war. chicago has a history of that kind of thing. look, donald trump has used tactics that have raised an army of very ardent fans for sure, but he has locked in a lot of people who just don't like him. i'm not saying the people protesting there in chicago are republican voters by any means, but there are tea a growing coa anti-establishment tea party ted cruz type people and establishment folks that are rallying behind the candidacy of ted cruz to unify our party before the national convention so we can have a positive message. we don't need donald trump to be the head of the ticket for this great country of ours to be represented by a man with such a giant eg

and it doesn't even reflect smart people who were objective said about the bush . neil: look what he said ben carson. along comes bee ben to endorse him today and chris christie. is it all politics in the end? and if that's the case, can you imagine jeb bush -- can you imagine jeb bush endorsing donald trump if he were the nominee? >> i think it's too early. i think it's still raw in what happened to him and what donald trump said about his brother and probably even about the family. neil: yeah. >> so i do there's some lingering angst there and, look, i love jeb. i happen to love the bush family. they're probably the most will noble, political family in the country right now and have been for a long time. so i respect them and very appreciative of the call to noble service that they ring out for everyone to recognize. and this hasn't been the most noble of campaigns. and i think that sometimes it's embarrassing. neil: you know, you're part of the evil establishment. you realize that. >> i plead guilty although i think that i am trying to do it as best for the country. a

earlier this week his brother, neil bush joined senator ted cruz's national finance team. >> the only guy in the race that is left that has these strong principled conservative views that can lay the congressman made our nation through the era of reform that will continue greatness and race us to even greater levels of the country. >> jeb bush dropped out of the race lauren: kirkland and bernie sanders scored off a heated debate in florida. let's show you some highlights. >> it had been done by my businesses. it was admitted. >> at buchanan baghdad -- >> is not going to happen. i'm not even answering that. >> i think that a speech so great that you got paid so much money you would like to share it with the american people. >> senator sanders has talked about free college for everybody. he has talked about universal single-payer health care or everybody and a lot of the answers say that coming up, this is going to be much more expensive than anything senator sanders is admitting to. >> i want you all to think what secretary clinton is saying that the united states should continue to be

neil bush, the brother of jeb and george w., is joining the finance team.z is making a big play for florida. not trying to win it outright. certainly trying to peel off enough votes to deny marco rubio a come from behind victory and potentially, knock him out of the race next tuesday. >> thank you. aides to florida senator marco rubio says he knows how to win in florida and will win the sunshine states. 99 delegates. there by upending the dynamics and delicate math of the race. we always knew the first half of march would be a challenging stretch. a chief official told james rosen who is with the campaign adding we are way ahead in the early voting and an sentee ballots. the real clear voting shows trump up by 16 points but team rubio says the most recent surveys shows their man with momentum. >> these polls have been all over the place. i'm not worried about polls. we were 20 points down in virginia. and had we had another day, we would have beat. won there. >> meanwhile the rubio campaign is alleging dirty tricks. in particular you heard this e-mail, team

neil bush is the brother of jeb bush and president george w.also works on the finance team for senator ted cruz. here's what he said to cnn's "new day." >> i don't think he's a uniter. in fact i think he is the most flawed candidate the republican party could put up as its standardbearer, and i would worry very much about containing the control of the house, and i think we have an opportunity to not only retain control, but move forward with a positive agenda of reform if we had a real leader that could unite our party in a reaganesque kind of way, and donald trump is not the guy. i'm not really to go to the donald trump coronation. >> let's talk more about the race with scottie hughes. >> hi. good morning. >> i'm sure you're very happy this morning. what a night for you and your camp. i want to ahead you something that haley barber said. he says of donald trump -- a lot of people just want to send washington the bird, and they think that he is the most perfect giant middle finger that they can imagine. i think that's sort of a funny way of say

the bush donors and neil bush came out for ted cruz yesterday? there is an establish. anti-trump movement. it did not end up on marco rubio when the music stopped. >> there was an op-ed about donald trump and trade, josh. pretty pointed full of facts that are true facts about the trade situation. really poking at john kasich and with an eye toward ohio. let's look at something in the op-ed. one of the first casualties of the tpp, the trade deal, the biggest trade deal in history. the american auto industry the worst victims of the pact. the tpp will send america's remaining jobs to japan. they all promoted the tpp and the threat to american manufacturing. the lead of the piece is the american worker is being crushed. he shows which policies and specific countries. vietnam will crush american workers. he is getting specific on the trade attack. it has been emotional up to now. >> you have covered this, christine. one is the short-term goal of the appeal to the workers in ohio and illinois and north carolina. that makes smart policy political in the primary. if you read

even though ted cruz is a conservative, he is very excited that neil bush has join the campaign and veryat other establishment people perform the establishment people like myself who want to win will come on board. >> at this particular time, politically he was seen like damaged goods. you have to wonder, does he have any machinery left to help him to victory? is this all about money? why would he need him right now? i don't know how he can move the needle sufficiently in florida to offset the calls, this is just him falling into the hands of the establishment. >> no, it's not. i really don't think jeb bush will endorse anyone before fat tuesday, as i'm calling it. first of all, a lot of the electorate has already voted. it won't bring a lot of value but it could help with fundraising. already we have seven members on board with ted cruz. >> ted cruz got his first senate endorsement. his plan senator mike lee in utah. how is that going to impact the run? >> well, it will help. thank goodness he hopped on board the train and hopefully others will fall in before being deer in head dlids. e

carson, ted cruz is actually putting out a press release announcing that he's being endorsed by neil bushs&l cost taxpayers 1.5 billion dollars. this is like being endorsed by bernie madoff. lou: better than that, rodger, neil is the cochairman of the finance arm of the campaign. >> precisely. so i think what this means is the battle lines are drawn. in other words, mitt romney spilled the beans when he said ted cruz is among those acceptable as a nominee. so you have romney waiting in the rings in the bull pen all made up. paul ryan essentially advertising his availability by saying he's not available. have you ted cruz happy to be the -- take a brokered convention. you've got marco rubio who probably doesn't make the finals as a possible nominee because he loses florida. the establishment is playing a many handed game. but the bottom line is stop donald trump short on the first ballot, and then on the subsequent ballot. lou: and left out of the lineup, i will let anyone come up with the nouns that are appropriate, the list that you enunciated. john kasich. >> he would be excited to see

. >> what about neil bush. the brother of a president, son of a president. he's now on the board of cruz. why did cruz accept him? >> it's very interesting the bush family would someone over to the cruz campaign. i don't have any real inside knowledge of it but having a bush help raise money for cruz ought to tell you somebody. >> why did you bring the guy involved in the snl smell, who is thinking about this stuff? >> you'd have to ask the campaign. >> we've all been fishing around tonight. is there going to be a coalition of the candidates. anything before the convention that can stop trump in terms of a kocombine? >> yeah. if they drop out. >> they drop out and endorse cruz? >> i think that's the only way. >> the that plausible? >> no. >> my question is why do we keep talking about a stop trump movement when there's knnobody the movement? >> if cruz was running against trump, i think he could win. the numbers seem to indicate, but you know this business. >> i do know this business. if you hear of a stop x movement, bet on x because it's always too late. w

fox business was the first to bring you the news that neil bush, brother of a jeb and george w. has joined ted cruz's finance team. do we have a sibling scandal or rivalry on our hands? the primary no one is talking about but should be, the second-biggest primary behind florida isn't winner-take-all like the sunshine state or ohio, blake merriman live in the ignore at your peril state. when it comes to the battle for democratic delegates, the race is tighter than it looks. we break down whether it is a real possibility or a pipe dream that bernie sanders could overtake hillary clinton for the nomination. chilling images from iran testing missiles with running messages against israel written directly on the missile. are these tests just a violation of the new nuclear deal with iran? you may be surprised by the end to attack the seventh anniversary to the u.s. bull market with the major indices down for the year, might not feel like a full environmental but do the bulls have further to run? the clock is ticking, the final hour of trading, anything can happen. let's start the count

carson ted cruz is actually putting out a press release announcing that he is being endorsed by neil bushho is refrauding of an s and l cost u.s. taxpayers $1.5 million. this is like being endorsed by bernie madoff. >> it's better than that, roger, because neil is also the co-chairman of the finance arm of the campaign. >> precisely. so i think what this means is the battle lines are drawn, in other words, mitt romney spilled the beans when he said ted cruz is among those acceptable as the nominee. you have romney waiting in the wings in the bullpen all made up, you have paul ryan essentially advertising his availability by saying he is not available, you have ted cruz who is happy to take a brokered convention, you have marco rubio who probably doesn't make the finals as a possible nominee because he loses florida. the establishment is playing a many-handed game, but the bottom line is stop donald trump short on the first ballot and then uker this nomination away from her on a subsequent ballot. >> and locked out of that lineup -- well, anyone come up with the nouns for that that are app

she was an insider and is an insider but a more important endorse happened yesterday, neil bush the brotherf george bush and g.w. bush. >> let's talk about florida. you know florida well. likely republican voters in florida next tuesday, trump 40%, rubio 24%, cruz 19%. kasich 5%. looking -- you see the other polls too. even with a bigger advantage in florida for trump. any way that rubio can turn it around? if he doesn't win the state everyone agrees it will certainly be over. >> most think he this is the hill he will die on or keep alive longer. depending on the poll. we have a lot of early and absentee ballots. we are looking at 2.3 million republicans voting. how good of a game has rubio had in turning out the voters? we don't know. we know from polls that if people back a love donald trump. there was a chance they voted early and that is bad news for rubio if they did. >> let's talk about bernie sanders for a moment. you have to give him credit. he stunned us all by winning michigan last night. how did he do it? >> it is interesting. something fascinating were the polls. we have some of

endorsement adds to the growing list of establishment figures rallying behind cruz, including his brother neil bushinance committee for senator cruz. leaving little doubt who they want as candidate for president, but donald trump's lead in delegates is formidable, and trump only widened the lead after last night's elections, joining us former republican presidential candidate, retired neurosurgeon, that sounds so funny to me, i will always think of him first and foremost as an incredible neurosurgeon, dr. ben carson, endorsed donald trump earlier this month. and we are delighted to have you with us. >> thank you, lou, always good to be on your show. lou: let's turn to the tone of this debate, whatever you want to call it, presidential dialogue. i was offended by paul ryan trying to play arbiter for the republican party. i thought he was insinuating he was using innuendo, he was being oblique when a man should be straightforward if he's got something to say in my judgment. what's your reaction? >> my reaction in general is this is such an incredibly important election that the candidates should be t

the campaign, they did get symbolic boost today announcing the support of neil bush, jeb bush's younger brother, he will join their finance team. of course rolling out the announcement on election day, coming as ted cruz, of course, trying to make the case out on the campaign trail that he is the republican candidate that can consolidate the republican vote more so than marco rubio. >> a lot of pressure on marco rubio. he's in florida tonight, looking ahead to next tuesday, at his home state there where his campaign thinks that he can rack up a big win. rubio's focus, very clear today. >> here in florida, if you vote for john kasich or ted cruz, you are voting for donald trump. i am the only one that can beat them in florida. i'm the only one that can stop them here. >> jason carroll traveling with the rubio campaign in florida. what are the expectations from the rubio campaign tonight? are they doing expectations management, even? >> reporter: yeah, that's probably the way to put, managed expectations. they're not looking for wins tonight. what they're looking to do is pick up delegate

interesting thing people are getting dirty, the clean guys, establishment so-called, now you have neil bush signing on to the bush campaign -- cruz campaign for the bush family. the establishment lost on jeb. that is fair to say. now they lost on rubio. will they lose on cruz? >> cruz will being one the finalists. i don't care whether he is establishment candidate or not. he cares about their money. david: could it be albatross around his neck the way it seemed for rubio? >> it was more than that for rubio. rubio ran a different kind of campaign. he didn't have conventional campaign with ground game and all the rest of it. more his personality on free tv. trump took all the air out of that oxygen. cruz has a good campaign team and they have won every time there is closed, meaning republicans only. he wins those races. wins caucuses. they will go all the way, basically very competitive. they need to get kasich out of the race and rubio on out of the race and make it one-on-one which is what their desire is. david: cruz is going all the way. you think trump will not have all delegates, 1237,

charles: reports out today, neil bush's brother has joined the cruz team.t looks like anyone but trump team is circling the wagons. >> it's starting to look that way when he had a great night, outperforms expectations. not only am i looking at michigan, i'm looking at mississippi. i would say the state is more populist than conservative. so it should be going to trump tonight. cruz has tightened the race there and nationally. and i do think that the republican party is looking hard at do we want trump or do we want cruz. people like lyndsey graham and others are saying we want cruz. charles: many would argue the national review has been in attack mode for a long time. >> we started it. charles: now you are getting cocky. >> no, michigan as a lot of working class reagan-style democrats. i would be shocked if kasich could beat him there. i imagine trump's economic message anti-china, anti-trade, will have a lot of resonance. i think it will be like super saturday where trump wins the biggest states. does cruz sweep iowa. charles: rich lowry made the argument

be happy to have it but de claind to share their privateonversation ooze but it appears another bush neil has signed up to work with team. in the newsplex. 7 news. >> robbin: and the presidential candidates compete for every vote. team 7 coverage continues in downtown miamimi where nicole linsalata is covering the big rally. >> >> we believe ultimately when people come together and get involved there, is nothing we can't accomplish. >> reporter: buthat maybe difficult if not impossible for bern sanders to accomplish overtake hillary clinton in the della gate count. each primary or caucus win means delegates. and despite wintz senator from vermont is falling short. despite link clinton to big wall street donors. >> and secretary clinton on a number of c cndications have given speeches to goldman sax behind closed doors and got paid $225,000 per speech. >> reporter: right now hillary clinton can count 1134 delegates. sanders 439. 2383 are needed to nominate. tuesday the democrats are facing off in michigan and mississippi. but the beat for five other states louding florida happens next week

neil bush, whose brother jeb, says trump is incapable of leading the party, let alone the country. >> have raised an army of very ardent fans, for sure, but he's also locked in a lot of people that don't like him. i'm not saying the people protesting in chicago are republican voters, by any means, but there's a growing tea party, ted cruz type folks, establishment type folks, rallying behind the presidency of ted cruz to unify our party before the national convention so we can have a positive message. we don't need donald trump to be the head of the ticket, you know, for this great country of ours to be represented by a man with such a giant ego and such few solutions to the problems would be tragic. it's not in the nature of a reagan or of jack kemp or a george bush sr. or george w. bush to have someone who's got this kind of behavioral challenge. so, i think it's tragic. i think he brought it on because of his tactics he's used to show he's the tough guy that's going to be able to, you know, keep us safe from these threats. we are still the greatest country on the face of the earth

not former candidate jeb, not former president george w., talking about neil bush, their younger brother he had plenty to say about donald trump. >> do you think donald trump is a uniter? is that what last night proves? >> no, i don't think he's a uniter. in fact i think he is the most flawed candidate the republican party could put up as its standard bearer, and i would worry very much about retaining control of the house of representatives. i think we've got an opportunity to not only retain control, but to actually move forward with a positive agenda of reform if we had a real leader that could unite our party in a reaganesque kind of way. donald trump is not the guy. i'm not ready to go to the donald trump coronation at this point. the fat lady hasn't sung. there's still a lot of contest to be played out, out there. the more this becomes a two-man race, good for john kasich for winning his first state of the election process, but he hasn't won anything up until now. ted cruz has won nine contests and he's not -- he's not my first choice, i've made that pretty clear in other -- in an

. >> neil bush george w. bush's brother, so cereal, you are going to see a lot of people who want to stop trump, finding that cruz is real only alternative to do so -- >> can cruz win general election? >> well look if you believe in national polls i don't believe this early to be very candid with you he is well positioned certainly could, on flip of that is hillary clinton, you know you see what happened last might to her, in michigan, blue collar state, where she lost working class whites, she lost people who cared about the economy, cared about trade, and jobs. maria: yeah. >> she lost people cared about empathy honesty problem not in primary but well beyond when you look at general election matchup against anyone on right with hillary you have to a see total of her character weak he isses possibly fluffing out youcom. >> if you put logs in front of the trump train to have you stop him from winning florida kasich didn't have past showing in michigan to have you stop him from winning ohio. what do you think o

bush but neil bush joining the cruise campaign -- cruz campaign. question is whether the former florida governor jeb bush stayendorse marco rubio or out of the race was a right now, poll showing senator rubio in second and most of the national polls. democrats line, good evening. guest: i am definitely a trump fan. host: why? guest: i think this managed definitely interested in our country. he is not there to travel, and play golf, he's interested in the people. i think he is a very honest person. he can get our country back what belongs. host: ok, thank you very much for the call. republican line, go ahead. guest: good evening, how are you today? i want to congratulate donald trump on his win tonight, he is going to be a great president. it is about time we had someone that really cares about this country. host: i'm interested to learn more about you, why donald trump this year? guest: we voted for ron the last last time.ney we would never vote for him now because he is very naughty. he is going to tear the republicans apart if he keeps on. we are

i thought it was interesting yesterday that neil bush signed on to ted cruz's finance team. >> the other thing, john, and i was talking to becky about this earlier, you know how polarizing ted cruz has been in his career with the filibuster. but that shows how crazy this race is. he's ahead of her in some national polling in the general electi election. ted cruz. just shows you this is topsy turvy insanity. you would think at this point she's a more known political figu figure. >> she's parts of the establish. >> and no one likes the establishment this time around. >> becky just put her finger on it. the more known you are in politics, the less liked you are by voters. the average voter, that's just a name. he's going to do better. >> okay, john. we got to spend time on politics, but we also cover the markets. so we got to go. >> actually, we're talking more about politics. for more on the race to the white house, we're joined by peter wallison. you probably heard a lot of this conversation. first of all, i've heard reported again this morning that rubio is considering dropping out from

neil: jeb bush was stunned that his protege would dare.the question becomes who in the gop will get behind cruz. we have to see where jeb puts his vote. i wonder if in the next couple days we see jeb bush come out and get behind cruz. neil: trish, the stop trump effort, if they were doing this a few weeks ago, maybe. trish: all after sudden they have come out of the woodwork in a way you heard newt gingrich say he thought the super pac was going after rubio in florida. they didn't understand and recognize the threat donald trump was early on. neil: lou, we were talking about what was going on in ohio where john kasich has the lead. it's look so far good for him. you equitable with the notion that mitt romney could take a bow. lou: i brought up the idea it's my fantasy he will stand before the cameras and say i saved john kasich and the republican establishment. that's my fantasy. i don't know that that will happen. but given what has happened to mitt romney i wouldn't be surprised about it in the least. maria: the gop says trains prebults

. >> so here to discuss the landscape this morning and the fight for the gop nomination is neil bush.her of george w. bush and jeb bush. mr. bush thank you for being here. >> thank you alisyn. just heard from donald trump.- do you think donald trump is a uniter? is that what last night proves? >> no. i don't think he's a uniter. in fact i think he's the most flawed candidate the republican party could put up as its standard bearer. and i would worry very much about retaining control of the house of representatives and. think we've got an opportunity to not only retain control but to actually move forward with the positive agenda of reform if we had a real leader that could unite our party in a reaganesque kind of way. and donald trump is not the guy. i'm not ready to go to the donald trump coronation at this point. the fat lady hasn't sung. there is still a lot of contests to be played out out there. and the more this becomes a two man race, good for john kasich for winning his first state of the election process. but he hasn't won anything up until now. ted cruz has won nine contests

neil: but you are very integral to mitt romney, with jeb bush. t walker. 0-3. keep rubbing it in. neil: i always think of donald trump, should he become the nominee, that he is going to need, unless he cashes out a lot of stuff, he has the money, i don't know how much cash flow is issue, you need about a billion dollars to run for president, once you get the nomination, right? >> 500 to 700 million. i think you could get done for that. because of his media status he will be on lower end of that range. neil: but he looks to guys like you? >> i'm not sure about that. but my guess is he is hoping rnc will join forces with him. then the finance area of the rnc and presidential trust will galvanize around him and raise money. neil: do you think that might happen? >> it might happen if he finds into a different gear in his gearbox. if he switches to a presidential gear out of sort of the experime right now, then i think the republican party would probably galvanize behind him. they're waiting for that. neil: there is also, something in your tone, i caug

it was unimaginable to meet donald trump would enter the race and if he did -- neil: what you know now, jeb bush and the backers. >> wasn't donald trump. in politics -- neil: a lot of money going in and out giving pause that the donors were running -- >> i will correct the record again. i look at the race and said hillary clinton will be hard to be. another bad prediction because she turned out a lot weaker than i thought. she would be hard to be, it will take someone new, it will take a new phase, a new generation of political leader. neil: an old and familiar face, trying to destroy the party, you say what? >> donald trump is having an effect on the party which is serious and negative and i am trying to make people understand while we still have a chance the republican party stands for something. neil: bringing new people into the party? >> and understand what he stands for. that is something people have to respect. i disagree with what he stands for. and what people have in mind. what he stands for and what he has done in his life and saying during this campaign, quote george w. bush is a lia

bush. they thought he was. neil: we jumped in leap ahead of ourselves on expectations. the same group that dismiss donald trump would be that far. >> i sent to democrats every day including people in the hillary campaign. they fear the marker reveals that the world. they don't fear of donald trump. women hate us, minorities see them. >> you underestimate donald trump at your own peril. >> every poll, every study. women, minorities. neil: he led a 28-point -- by 28 points. >> ronald reagan didn't have this negative. >> charlie is right. neil: republicans. you notice the second? >> hillary. neil: the negatives have come down more dramatically than hillary's? not donald trump. they keep going up, my friend. >> i read the same journal editorial as charlie today. neil: i'm telling you, and it's way down. i've heard this consensus or mapper one when donald trump first got to the race. >> you know you sound like? you sound like neil caputo -- the facts are the facts. neil: at an offense comparable. >> that is their opposition right now. >> if you are stuck at 35% got a longil:

bush. no, not jeb or george, but brother neil who is joining cruz's national finance team.silverado? trump has the support and endorsement of a new york baseball legend. >> he did a special job. we have another special man -- paul o'neill of the yankees. stand up, paul. paul. in fact, paul, you come -- you originally come from ohio, right? oh, wow. do you endorse me? i love you. thank you, paul. thank you. wow. that's a great endorsement from ohio. >> paul o'neill is a big trump supporter and a they later shared some one-on-one time. >>> and just take a look at this. a bern baby bern supporter took an enormous sanders puppet to msnbc's live location in detroit last night. and the crowd loved every bit of it. well, we do apologize if you have any nightmares from it. and that is your morning dish of "scrambled politics." political analyst and best selling author ellis henican is here this morning. >> good morning. that's a little scary, i have to say. >> it is. but sander has a huge upset in michigan. both "the new york times" and "the new york post" leading with sanders upse

neil: destroying the brand. >> no. what the hal is the plan. jeb bush. he would be the brand. $110 million a year ago. spent in new hampshire. 19,000 tv ads in new hampshire. guess what. he paid $1400 had to drop out. it is not about money anymore. this is what people are missing. stop listening to the people. the so-called experts and leaders. the leaders used to be the american people. >> i think that john kasich is my guy. >> i think that you are in denial. >> do i need a hug? i give you one every time i see you. neil: thank you very much. we will see how this works out. that is the state of the republican party. ♪ . . [vet] two yearly physicals down. martha and mildred are good to go. here's your invoice, ladies. a few stops later, and it looks like big ollie is on the mend. it might not seem that glamorous having an old pickup truck for an office... or filling your days looking down the south end of a heifer, but...i wouldn't have it any other way. look at that, i had my best month ever. and earned a shiny new office upgrade. i run on quickbooks. th

>> i what i think important for your viewers to know, neil, as somebody that served president bush during local people on the ground are the ones who are insuring that we have maximum levels of security for our hard targets from california to new york city and i believe having worked with all of them they're doing everything that needs to be done to secure our soft targets and to insure maximum levels of security for all all-americans. i would be more interested in having a question whether or not president obama would put on twitter the list of foreign, of political prisoners that raul castro says doesn't exist and whether or not he should go to baseball game. >> neil, picture speaks a thousand words. we'll have photo of obama in baseball game in cuba while belgium, brussels, is reeling from terrorist attack. again it is outrage just. neil: guys, thank you both very much. you express your views eloquently and strongly. speaking of belgium, the prime minister will take additional security measures at its borders. keep in mind the belgians were very, very strict about this wouldn't allow a

bush from florida. we've had very contested primary. . neil: but that's not what i'm saying. leads. in 1860 i mention that one just as an example to your party where others had big delegate leads and this guy lik lincoln was nowhere in that bunch. and then they all kind of eventually settled on him as a consensus. and i'm not saying that's going to happen. but what stopped the guy who led from happening is he didn't get to the required delegates. there's a reason why they're required. half the convention delegates plus one. >> my belief is donald trump has shown that he's brought so many new people into the party, he's winning, way ahead in the delegate count, he's going to be way ahead at the convention. it's going to be a big mistake if we want to win in november. i want -- nominee's going to win. . neil: okay., governor, thank you very, very much. we'll see what happens. all right. we'll have a lot more after this here's the plan. you're a financial company that cares, but your logo is old and a little pointy. so you evolve. you simplify. you haven't changed. you still hel

bush last month hit the trail for jeb in a last-ditch effort to keep the family in the race. and now brother neilce team. but this is the year of the outsider in presidential politics. and among trump's many advantages is the fact he's the only outsider in either party. and all the polls show that he will do very well tomorrow. he's in position, depending on the turnout of the trump forces, to sweep another super tuesday. what many of the political gurus have failed to note is that trump, a political novice, has set the republican primary agenda from the very day he entered the race. and that isn't likely to change even if he were not to do as well tomorrow as most of us expect. i would hope all elements of the gop, particularly the establishment, would set aside their differences and come together with all the candidates and unite behind donald trump. trump has been stronger, smarter, shrewder, and more energic than all of otherwise opponents. trump aligned himself with middle class americans, working men and women, he did so consciously and quickly. and as uncomfortable as the establishment may

neil: here we go, morgan. david. kennedy, dagen. morgan good to see you. >> thank you. >> how does this night look? >> i think like most former jeb bushthis night is depressing as ever. i have been talking with ted cruz people. saying take me to the math, tell me how you get to 1237, they take me through each state, there is a lot of match but when you have night like arizona, each of the delegation contest now, there is this next week, a few next week, it gets slimmer and slimmer, it is hard to have momentum. i most surprised, i thought over past two weeks, i thought trump would do something to throw the rest of us a bone in the republican party. in washington, maybe i am a bit cynical, but i think that people are dying to go toward nominee, they want a blum spot in the administration, i think they would lineup behind trump because they want power and access. i am surprised i have not seen that, he has done out reach this week. but he has not done what i thought -- thought. neil: filled with republican leaders. >> quite a guess. >> i am most surprised about what he did romney did 4 years ago, and mccain did, and anyone who would win,

neil, i think your dad, 41, is the gold standard, a class act. when people say establishment, i think in a good way of george herbert walker bush as he ran in '80 aresident we won't have to train. cruz seems totally at odds with that vision of the gop. that's why i'm questioning how you could be be supportive of him. >> well, i would put it differently. i'll say if you look at my dad as the gold standard, in my mind he was the gold standard because he put service above self and he was all in for helping the american people and reaching out and working with the other side to make things happen in a positive protective way domestically and in foreign policy. donald trump is self before service and would be the worst standard bearer our party could even put up. i would put cruz more in the reagan camp. reagan came in with a compass clear and set. he was conservative to the core. yet when ronald reagan got to washington, he threatened to be the outside looking in. he worked with the congress and we have a historic opportunity, michael. we'll bring you back into the republican party. you pronounced you became independent. we're going to have a histori
