george w. bush jeb bush has been treated for his flexible attitude against visiting people in this country. what is the temper now? >> it is a divisive issue, several candidates have said things about integration and things that crick their prior positions. interestingly, google is one of the co-sponsors of last year's debate, and the most googled word is amnesty, one of his best moments last night was senator rand paul's accusation of senator cruz that senator cruz was using the issue of amnesty. none of them are truly pure, there's a lot of division within the republican party because it is the party of free markets and some republicans believe there alt to be a free market in labor via immigration reform. other republicans are concerned about national security, in the context of this year there's been concerns about migration crises across the world and how that might affect our national security at home. these two values, two issues are in conflict and it shows up a lot in the divisions between these candidates. >> ted cruz is traveling iowa with steve king who is not mealy mouthed on t

george w bush saying miss we yet. there's a lot of people that will have a fondness for george w. bush. it's about time and will be a shot in the arm for jeblate in. >> i'm asked that a lot, which is good news. people seem to be interested. i'm hopeful he will. the details haven't been worked out. he's a popular republican. >> south carolina is on the 20th of february. will it happen before then? >> i don't know yet. there are people thinking about it and working on it. my expectation is he will be out there with me. i'd love to have him sdplp what's the wait? the details haven't been worked out. if he's still so popular and he is, why isn't he out there helping his brother? >> jeb should be doing anything he can to get any votes. if sarah palin endorsing trump is a benefit to trump, i'd have to think that george w. bush endorsing his brother is a benefit for him on the campaign trail. this has been over for jeb bush for a long time. it is too late. it was late a few months ago. he started out talking about the iraq war and how he would do the same thing with the evidence. now about the iraq that was a mess that took a week. he's been tryi

george w bush's campaign. >> reporter: they accused each other on changing positions on the status of undocumented immigrants. jeb bush got in on the debate. >> he led the charge to finally fix this immigration problem that has existed for 30 years. and then he cut and run because it wasn't popular amongst conservatives. >> reporter: bush trailed rand paul, ben carson and chris christie in the discussions last night. last in the facebook discussions rick santorum, who "usa today" says appeared to give a farewell speech. all of this happening without candidates couldn't be happier he wasn't on stage. >> not at all. man, that was the best debate we have had of all the debates easily. >> reporter: now, according to the latest -- last nbc news poll before the debate, donald trump led with 32% of the likely vote. cruise 25%. we will see the next round in the polls if the trump-free debate made a difference. >> the republicans seemed to believe they would be facing democrat hilary clinton. they have little faith that vermont senator bernie sanders would overtake clinton. he came up once when florida senator marco rubio call

bushes, jeb and george w. mitt romney, here's ben bush campaigns and the scott walker campaign. the panel is here but let me start with you, alex. the week began with alex castellanos, famed republican consultant is briefing donors looking for people to start -- to buy into your anti-trump ad campaign and yet you found no takers. >> no takers. it's too confusing this year for the establishment. it's getting late in the game. if you disqualify trump, you could help ted cruz. the establishment doesn't want that. if you disqualify cruz, you could help trump. so a lot of the establishment is just sitting on the sidelines and i think the moment to go after either has passed. >> it's too late? >> it's too late. and it just -- it -- two-thirds of the party is in one of those guy's pocket. one-third is in the establishment lane. that doesn't auger well for the establishment going forward beyond new hampshire. >> ben, here's what i don't understand. the week by beating each other, laying off cruz and trump. maybe now they'll find out trump wants to take cruz on and that might make them h

trump talks about low energy campaign and he is quite right, in many ways the campaign of jeb bush is like george w bush92 when people wondered if president bush at that point was sick with perhaps a thyroid problem. he is no george w. bush, he was a very embolden candidate when he ran for presidency. >> when people tune in on monday night or tuesday morning and they see the results and perhaps they say actually mrs. clinton has not done very well in iowa is that an indication of where it goes from here? because i mean they put her in south carolina at 64% and new hampshire one other state where bernie sanders is ahead. >> i have to be honest when we look back at this on tuesday we will look at hillary clinton victory in iowa. i think the polls are all over the place and we can look at the polling we had in the uk as well as in the u.s. over the last couple years and they are out by a long shot. polls conducted in iowa over the last nine days, five put hillary and four bernie sanders ahead and the poll of polls you may win by 6%, she is going to loose new hampshire and move into south carolina and we ha

george w. bush. to me, his brother, jeb bush, has been somewhat consistent, and unites the most people. >> i was goingthat i'm sure he can even maintain this, but without trump on the stage, for the first time, it felt like o, that's why he thought he could run. i mean, again, i still think -- it's fascinating. not from which in terms of support for the policies, but you could see what a strong campaigner george w. is relative to jeb, just in watching jeb run this time. but for the first time, when trump wasn't on the stage, you kind of saw jeb straighten up a little bit, right? >> and i think rand paul did really well. i thought all of them -- suddenly it was this is the campaign that would have been. >> right. >> and focusing on policy instead of these petty insults that we're letting -- i just feel like the republican field in general with this -- with the exception of a few candidates like rand paul, like jeb, who have really gone after trump, have let trump get away with just being this misogynistic jerk. >> so this is -- i want to talk about my favorite beef of the night, which is megyn kelly, a

george w. bush. tying himself to the bush legacy for good or for bad doesn't bode well for him. it doesn't look good for jeb. >> this could be a big game changer for any of the political candidates. thank you so much. >> thank you andrea. >> here's what's on tap over the next week plus. monday night the democrats will have a form in drake university in des moines. thursday the debate on the fox news channel. then the all-important iowa cabbing us on monday. >> it will be denver versus carolina. football take central stage in kissimmee. contest. >> a cold night tonight.
