>> this was a claim made by charlie chris. it was a charge. >> to clear that up. >> all right? >> it wasn'tclure what it was. >> mani-ped. the problem with that, you know he paid back these thousands of dollars of charges. but the problem was that he had created this narrative, this narrative that he was a small government fiscally responsible, spend in a responsible way kind of guy with the government and then in his own spending, he wasn't operating that way. it served to sort of crack that foundation a bit he is somebody are has risen quickly among the ranges and when that happens, you do engender a lot of jealousy. what do republicans feel about him now? do they feel like he has jumped over them, that he doesn't merit all of this attention so soon? >> he is a tantalizing and at the same time terrifying figure within the republican party. he has great assets, a big following. he is a dynamic speaker. his power base is outside of the senate. in some, it transcends the senate. he is popular on social media, on the blogs. he is popular with not only people in florida but, also
