care are all looming large and no one seems to be paying too much attention to them except for david walker, former u.s. comptroller general. you've been talking about this for years. the disability trust fund, part of social security, that is looking like it could run out of money next year. what does that mean? >> the trustees, it's supposed to go to zero. in reality what they'll do is what they did last time, reallocate the payroll tax revenues from the retirement portion to the disability portion rather than solve the problem. you know, washington has a tendency to put band-aids on open wounds rather than trying to actually do what needs to be done. >> tell me again how bad is the situation right now and how would you fix it, when it comes to social security? >> first, government uses word that is don't mean the same thing as websteres dictionary. trust funds. you can't trust them. they're not funded. what's in the trust fund is government debt. there's enough government debt we can pay timely benefits on a combined basis until 2023. >> we have a situation where the retirement age is be

i think you saw two very different styles and approaches from walker and bush over the weekend. >> davide voters get in their head you're a flip-flopper, it's hard to change that perception. how's walker doing on that? >> well he didn't really answer all of the questions that were thrown at him, as kasie said he didn't do an open-style public event. but reporters got around him after it, and basically that was the whole topic. did you change your position on immigration? did you change your position on common corps? what about abortion? what about ethanol? you can see the glare that the front-runner is now attracting starting to impact scott walker but lie say this. in talking to voters on the ground there, seems to me he does have a bigger growth potential for support than governor bush at this time. i ran into several voters in new hampshire that said you know, in no way could they support jeb bush, because he's the past. because of his last name. because of his brother. you know the second question that was posed to governor walker, at the new hampshire gop event was, how do you eradi

walker has persistent problems. but i'm just talking about the approach. davidgen went to the white house having worked for president reagan bush and ford to work for the president. whitewater was the big thing. david said put out all the information, just let out the information. they basically ignored him and did not take his advice and that's sort of a measure of loyalty. >> woodruff: michael, does she get beyond this? >> i don't think this is fatal by any stretch of the imagination. in fact, the strategy may well have worked, if the e-mails are destroyed, you know, members of congress, they demand to seize the server we'll see how that happens, but it may well have worked. but i do think hillary clinton has no rivals in the party no serious rivals no second-tier rivals. you know, this is a case where an overwhelming favorite is now causing serious concerns among democrats bout the quality of their candidate. there are some democrats even talking and writing now saying she might benefit from a challenge. it might sharpen her skills. it right reintroduce her t

david. >> i tell you, there's not really much of a surprise there, judge, after all, rand paul has gotten that, you know, strong libertarian grasp through cpac base. the surprise story tonight, though, governor scott walker who didn't put much into it and still comes in second and i would say that a third part of this would be jeb bush who came there, got a lot of boos in the beginning, but turned the audience around as he got a little deeper into issues including immigration and started getting applause. so rand paul not a surprise win, but i think the surprise there is that governor walker did well and jeb bush coming in at number five but still turning the crowd around. >> let me ask you a question. you said something interesting that scott walker didn't put much into it. what did you mean by that? >> well, he didn't have this notably large group coming in and saying, okay, we're all here, we're going to push for him in kind of the way ron paul and rand paul would do it, you know, that group that would come in and go out, they'd make a lot of noise. the rand paul supporters were there. the ben carson supporters were there. certainly governor walker had his, but he didn't have obvious support. and it s

walker is not attending. one day after he signed the right to work law. joining me to talk about this is senior politics writer at u.s. news, good to see you. >> good morning. >> davide need to say today to end this e-mail controversy? >> well, i don't know if it's going to end. she's going to have to say why she chose to only use a private e-mail. i think she will talk about precedent on that point. she will say that former secretary of state colin paul did it this way, she was instructed other secretary of states handled e-mail this way so that's the reason she did it. i think the tougher question for her to address is will she turn over the rest of the e-mails and the server that reportedly operated out of her own private home, will she turn that over to a third party. she said she is going to release e-mails back to the state department, but i gather that republicans and other outside critics are going to want to see more now. they are going to be suspect of anything she chooses to release on her own decision making. so will she turn it over to a third party or republicans i think that's going to be the question. the question is going to be what does she have to
