our political analysts, jeanne zaino, political science professor at iona college and nyu, and hank sheinkopf, democratic political consultant and strategist. critical mass? critical mess? both? either? neither? >> it could be both. i think it's a great -- you know, i think he has probably tipped out at about 22%, 24%. i don't see him going that much higher. i also don't see him going that much lower, so i think he is gonna hover around there for the foreseeable future. i think if he does make a real concerted effort to talk about policy, he could inch up a little bit. but i don't see him still capturing the nomination, and i think he's gonna stay around that. >> he's got a lot of unfavorable numbers, as well. in fact, twice as much -- more than twice as much unfavorable. how can he ever get the nomination with so many republicans against him? >> not likely he gets the nomination. what's important to note is that he is doing in the mid 20s and bernie sanders is doing in the mid 20s. it tells you something about the political system at writ large. people are just angry. they're looking for out

professor at iona college and nyu, and political scientist -- scientist -- political analyst hank sheinkopf. but you are sort of a scientist. >> i'm a phd. >> there you go. that's sort of a science. let's talk about what's coming up this week with the gop candidates. it's sort of bifurcated, right? you have 10 candidates and then another panel of b-league. christie almost not gonna make it. >> yeah, christie is on the cusp, as they say, and john kasich on the cusp, so we're gonna have to see -- i think fox has announced that by the 4th of august, they're gonna announce who's in the top 10 and who has to sit at the kid's table for the debate, and those will be the six, maybe seven, if you count the former virginia governor who are gonna be there. it's gonna be interesting if kasich doesn't make it. it's taking place in ohio, so hopefully, you know, kasich may sit. it's gonna be a big embarrassment. >> do they really have a choice, though, hank? because at 17 people or 16 people, it's unyielding. it's impossible. >> well, they don't have a choice, number one. number two, all this is going to

joining us is jedediah bila and fox news political analyst analyst ed rollins and hank sheinkopf. it's good to have you with us. so what do you think. >> no surprises for me there. he doesn't want to have to answer to anyone. he doesn't want to explain to anyone and many in the gop establishments don't like him. he wants to say if you don't like me, i could do this or that. did that play well at the with the audience? no. because they see that as a third party run. but he doesn't care. that's the bottom line. he is there to say i'm going to do what i want to do no matter what and you can love it or hate it. >> first of all, i agree this is one of the best debates that i've ever seen and i think that you deserve great credit, anyone that says this, hank and i do what we call where you take a candidate and you put them in the toughest environment possible. and it's a standard that they have to meet. i think they reinforce what they want. i think that the other person performing extremely well with marco rubio. showing how thoughtful he is. the others are okay. i think that we had a

bush, and hank sheinkopf, a democratic strategist., listen, we keep the business in fox business. this country wants to hear ideas about the economy and ideas about jobs, but something tells me viewers and potential voters want to hear just a little bit of theatrical persuasion, right? >> no question about it. and, of course, the big elephant in the room tonight on the main stage is going to be donald trump. does donald trump look presidential? does he look like he's a reality talk show host? does he look like he has substance? i think the other nine candidates up there, liz, are going to be saying to themselves really for a 90-minute debate, i'm only going to get about seven minutes of air time. how can i introduce myself to the american people, get my message out? it's going to be very interesting to see how those other candidates maneuver against the biggest elephant in the room. liz: hank, you're looking at a lot of sizzle. do americans want steak tonight or more fizzle? >> americans love reality television, and there's no differe
