like chris sununu, like a south hutchinson are just thinking about running in order to, i'm not being cynical about this as a cable news host, but maybe just to try and get a cable news contributor deal? or a book deal, or some sort of love from centrists. that they are not really serious candidate. >> i mean, certainly that's a good percentage. and again, chris crunchy may or may not run again, i don't know who that's a candidate for. even mike pence, who is a candidate for? i think, it's very unlikely that any of these people will get any traction, and certainly there is a ponded industrial complex that is waiting for them with book deals, and cable news -- and maybe they will join that complex. >> yeah, i mean chris christie is a classic example of that. he's going to run against trump having tried to get trump elected in 2016 in 2020. what credibility chris christie has. stuart, it was reported this week that milliner larry ellison spends plant spent tens of million dollars on tim scott's presidential campaign. scott has a miniscule chance of winning, so in practice, isn't this ju

also know there are a host of other personalities reportedly waiting in the wings like pants, chris sununu youngkin to name a few. all of this begs the question, how republicans learn nothing, nothing at all since 2016? as jonathan martin writes in politico, if trump does emerge of the gop standard bearer next year, we will look back on this week to grasp why, just like in 2016 he was able to take advantage of a divided opposition. indeed, with each additional candidate to enter the race the former presidents of the become the republican standard bearer, yet again, shoot up. what's more, it will be one thing if any of the former contenders were actually prosecuting the case against trump, but no if anything they are all running against each other. as knock off bargain bin copies of teflon don. consider florida man ron desantis who, he has had a deeply embarrassing campaign rollout on twitter this week. but also more significantly, and shockingly announced in 30 that he would be aggressive in issuing pardons, yes, pardons for january 6th insurrectionists. forgive me if i am mistaken, but i

tests, but i don't think she will find the traction in a field growing more crowded by the day, chris sununu seems nice and tough, great, but the later the long shots wait to declare, the less ink and oxygen awaits them when they enter the race here, met with desantis last week, in live for your die state, i would love to know the contents of that powwow, he won't win but he will boost his profile, maybe get a sick ass cabinet post, and our 45 president donald j trump, i don't disagree with desantis he probably can't win general but precovid economic record is untouchable. candidates would be smart to pick apart his covid response, and all other deficits that drive independents away from him, he may not be discipline enough to talk about anything but his on i on going legal woes, we're lucky to live in the most interesting political age, so much could ha happen between now and next fall, until then i demand liberty from anyone seeking higher office, those crazy enough who want to be president and that is the memo. phew . >> senator scott bringing the fire to his announcement this morning. >>

but he could be competing with guys like chris sununu, like chris christie for that lane, adding up,eople want to see from a third or fourth candidate. >> yeah, susan, conventional wisdom says the larger field helps trump. you were telling me something interesting in the break. you think the key here for a real challenge to trump might be chris christie, not necessarily that he would win, right, but? >> he's the one who takes on trump. he's the one who lodges all the attacks, so, for example, someone like tim scott looks good with his forward-looking message, his inspirational message, and he doesn't have to get down in the gutter. and trump can't help himself. if you attack him, he is going to focus on you with a laser. and christie knows the president pretty bell, better, for example, than ron desantis, he knows how to get to the former president. add to ron desantis, how much incoming can trump take, keep everything that he has, which i argue is not the numbers that the trump people have. i don't think he's at 35, 40%. i think he's probably at a solid built in 25%. and could all t

yesterday the governor of north dakota is thinking of getting in, chris sununu and glenn youngkin is suggesting he might get in. which tells me a little something. perhaps the governors that are republicans that are not ron desantis aren't fully on board with ron desantis because they think they might be a better president. >> bill: all this conversation feels like 2016. we'll see what pans out. the virginia governor who can only serve one term, four years. glenn youngkin ran this spot yesterday and caught our attention. watch here. >> we can usher in a new era of american values. president ronald reagan changed lives and now it's our turn. >> bill: part of the clip he ran. the feature at the reagan library a couple months ago. what we see in reuters. trump 49%. doubling up on desantis, pence single digits as haley and ramaswamy at 4%. you mentioned tim scott. starting today he will run $6 million in tv ads in iowa and new hampshire. he has a good, positive message for a conservative republican. that's going to be his pitch. an interesting personal story. the ultimate question is thi

chris sununu, the governor of new hampshire, weighed in on his overall take on republicans and this nominationin november. i tell every republican on the side, you can't given if you don't win. it's got to be somebody other than trump. there's no -- he wouldn't win georgia. that's a fact. if you're a republican ant can't win georgia, you have to move on. >> do you agree with the republican from new hampshire? >> long way to go. the candidate that has the right candidate for 2024. it's a long way off. let's see how the candidates do. it's imperative that president biden not be re-elected. >> martha: a long way to go. thank you very much. >> a long way to go. have a wonderful weekend. >> martha: thank you for your service. >> thank you, ma'am. as we head into memorial day. we want to thank everybody that served this country. secretary pompeo is among them. president biden taking a big hit in favor ability among independent voters, this is an important number in this poll. in fact, jake tapper called it a horrible number. >> when it comes to how voters see joe biden and another presidential term,
