mike huckabee is killing it in the presidential polls right now. the latest gallup poll out there, mike huckabee is right up at the top with jeb bush. among people who identify themselves as conservative republicans, he is far and away the leader at 54%. marco rubio is the next closest to him. there's the in you cnn poll that matches republican candidates up with hillary clinton who see who would do the best in a head-to-head matchup. the front-runners are jub bush and scott walker. they aren't formally declared as candidates yet, they're running hard, basking in mainstream press adulation. you know who outperforms them? mike huckabee. kentucky senator rand paul also does well in the cnn poll against hillary clinton. she beats him by less than she beats everybody else. rand paul is now expected to announce his presidential bid very soon on april 7th. we also got the exciting announcement today that an eccentric new york city real estate developer named donald trump is pretending harder than usual that he's going to run for president. he said he tol

huckabee had won that caucus in '08 and in 2012 rick santorum won as well.r ted cruz, can he broaden his appeal beyond those religious conservatives. put together coalition that could win in new hampshire, make him competitive in south carolina and run the table. that is a very, very big challenge for him. >> schieffer: you see him as a factor? >> he will be a factor because he will pull the field to the right. his position himself in unyielding conservative. someone that folks who are trying to vie for that same segmented of voters would have to pay attention to. when he takes a position, it will be interesting to see how the other candidates adjust to that whether they move towards him or move a little bit to his left. >> schieffer: do you agree with the poll, dan that it's wide open on republican? >> oh, yeah. we're going to see a lot of fluidity in these numbers month to month as some people rise and fall. scott walker had a good month at one point, ted cruz makes announcement his poll shows movement. there was movement for rand paul in here. but the str

this is pure clinton, this kay per. >> governor huckabee was right.e clintons do what they have to do and the decision do keep the mail where it was was purposeful, with an eye to the future and retaining control. has there been a political family that has played more cat and mouse over the years with documents, you just ran through a list of some of them with lanny davis. that was in her head as she went influence the confirmation hearing to become second of state. she knew she was trouble going to run for president and wanted control of the e-mails and here is the other thing. she is a lawyer. she talked how she does not break the law and the federal records act and advisory and this is classic. >> we ask you for questions and we got this on facebook: why does she think the rules we live by do not apply to her why couldn't she use the government e-mail address and what didn't she want the public to see? you worked in the clinton white house and worked for senator clinton, how do you answer? >> she doesn't see herself as above the line or different f

in mike huckabee will be here to answer questions. i am kennedy. ♪ it is obvious the hillary controversy will not go way today. the white house the house select committee:benghazi to subpoena her emails. did she use that too high even as? i think so. it is time for "you're crazy, kennedy" posts of the review showed making sense with steve. i will go to you but is the first lady held to a different standard than other government employees? you have to think this is weird. >> is a different standard? it is a double standard. this dort - - this story was reported two years ago almost to the day march 2013 by the smoking gun. this is insanity. if you look up double standard and should be a picture of hillary clinton with the level of scrutiny that the media focuses. kennedy: but "the new york times" are friendly to the clintons but they are going after her and she is not coming down swinging in her own defense and we have not heard a report to these accusations. >> i have a theory why i came out of "the new york times" but i was actually

we'll talk to former arkansas governor mike huckabee who is one of the early leaders. plus a preview of the new edward kennedy institute. and a talk with some of his former colleagues from both sides of the aisle. this is "face the nation." captioning sponsored by cbs good morning, rescue efforts continue at the plane crash site in the french alps we know now that the copilot who apparently crashed the plane on purpose into the mountain was being treated for some kind of illness that should have prevented him from being in the cockpit that day. to talk about this story we're joined by former u.s. air captain and cbs news aviation and safety expert sully sullenberger who join us from san francisco. captain, all news is local i think the question most on the minds of most -- many americans this morning is simply this. could this have happened here on a u.s. carrier? >> well, bob, we must do everything we can to prevent it from happening here. but there is one reason that this particular pilot could not have been an airline pilot in u.s. currently that is that rules now r

mike huckabee. we'll have analysis on the u.s.-israel relationship and panel on politics. it's all ahead on "face the nation." captioning sponsored by cbs good morning, bob is off today we want to welcome the speaker of the house john boehner to the broadcast. mr. speaker, i want to start with the vote on friday night to keep department of homeland security open. when republicans won their big victories in the senate and house in november there was promise that there would be no more of these crises, fiscal fishtailing from crisis to crisis, no more cliff-hanger moment. but there was things were supposed to be different they look the same, why? >> well, because the president took actions with regard to immigration that were far beyond what the law allows him to do. if you remember, john, that the president said 22 times that he couldn't do what he eventually did. i made it clear we're going to do everything we could to block the president's executive over reach. that's the basis of the problem that we're trying to deal with. and senate refused to pass a bill senator mcconn

as it did mike huckabee.ou have a much diverse. >> it sounds like it is pretty open. >> i don't think there is a clear leader. >> this is a big production. you asked the business community to help underwrite it a little bit. it looks like they responded. >> yes, we had great response. i haven't seen the exact numbers. it is important that we have a great venue and that we ask substantive questions. you will see tomorrow, and i hope that we have a chance to represent agricultural well. and that we have a chance to talk about substantive topics. oftentimes, with these discussions, they get held in panels or small groups where the public is not invited. the media is invited. there is going to be 250 folks from the press here tomorrow, so that is terrific. we are glad you are here. >> 250 media folks, and some of these candidates with reporters of their own. but i also want to talk about substance. are you asking people -- do people come in and talk about their stand even if it is different then what i will -- wh

where do you think we are in terms of the race 52% with the latest poll is mike huckabee i think thats extraordinary considering he is not spending or raising a lot of money. are you are pressed? to make absolute the impressive. but i think right now of lots of these polls that walker jobs right to the top after one single speech in iowa and cruise jumped 14 points after injuring but next week we will have rand paul or marco rubio. lou: you are such a cynic. that is an adequate? >> but huckabee has great they reckoned -- recognition from his show on fox. >> what people are angry at all politicians and are suspicious. nobody than that poll is do we well of late his brother particularly in 99 lead the field. nobody is doing particularly well. but instead it would consider voting for them. that is hardly an overwhelming performance. lou: turn to a couple of moves with the senator ted crews moved up from almost very little they recognition are you not impressed? >> i am. the new establishment conventional wisdom we saw after the rollout was ted cruises the underrated candidate in the race

you remember huckabee won in iowa in 2008. he has a skill that is underrated and will be well seen, certainly in the primary season, which is ted cruz is a great debater, he debated david dewhurst in texas, wowing people in the debates, and he'll put his opponents on their heels when it comes to debating. that's what is going for him. against him is a stridensy that americans are tired of now. he is as you heard now in the peace you ran, let's get rid of obama care. let's get rid of the i.r.s. he'll want to be strong on immigration, build the wall type of mentality on immigration. he is not someone that bends easily. that works against you in the politics of - you know presidential campaign politics much the geography will help and hurt him. bringing him to iowa. new hampshire and south carolina is important for him. it's important he start in the south and remind people. >> he's a candidate that in in addition to wanting to repeal obama care is steadfast in opposition to same-sex marriage denying climate change and poll natio

in cruz's lane, huckabee santorum. very few specifics. a blank slate. fascinating to see when he gives major policy goals. today, greatest hits of his rhetoric. mark: if people want to know what a candidate is going to do, ted cruz did not satisfy them. john: george bush and bill clinton announced detailed policy proposals before they announced, and you knew their positions. mark: here is what is wrong. here is what i would do about it. not just, wave my magic wand and get there. john: some degree of specificity about "my policy would be." not seen that from any of the candidates, and particularly ted cruz. mark: clinton, bush, and obama give speeches that told you about their inauguration addresses. this is not a template for ted cruz if he does get elected president. john: coming up, three great tastes that taste great together -- cruz, comedy, and take. -- and cake. be right back. ♪ mark: ted cruz's campaign announcement was a symphony in many movements. we will break it down for you, starting with movement number one, a cover of john lennon's classi

in fact, they propelled the former governor of arkansas mike huckabee to a win in iowa with 34% of the vote in 2008. in 2012, it was former senator rick santorum who ended up winning the iowa caucuses, barely, and success was also largely due to one fact, eat van gel the evangelical vote. neither was able to turn it into a successful nomination campaign, but the difference this time is the primary schedule. this could help ted cruz. iowa is first. looking back at 2012 exit polls, evangelicals made up over a majority of republican voters, 57%. well, two states later, you get to south carolina, third up overall in 2012 evangelicals made up 65% of the gop primary vote. this year success in iowa and south carolina could mean more momentum and more money heading into this election cycle's game changer. what we're calling the s.e.c. primary. here what's happening. for you noncollege football fans out there s.e.c. stands for the southeastern conference. and multiple southern states are in talks to set their primary on the same day resulting in a super evangelical tuesday. georgia, alabama, te

and he is going to battle mike huckabee ben carson scott walker, rand paul. he has to win that battle. secondly the money battle. big test is how much money can he raise, can he raise enough to be in there for the long haul. the third question is can he convince republican voters even some conservatives who might like what he says who might like the way he delivers a message, but are worried about winability. can you campaign the way ted cruz is campaigning now and win a general election i would submit the answer to that is absolutely not. >> that was the question asked throughout the republican primary as well the last go around. ted, let me read what you wrote about the money. over the course of the campaign cruz will aim to race between 40 and $50 million and dominate with the same tea party voters that supported his underdog senate campaign in 2012. but the keep to victory cruz advicers believe is to be second choice of enough voters in the libertarian to could be together a coalition it defeat the establishment. what happens beyond if he can cobble toget

we wants to stake claim to the evangelical movement here in the united states, trying to get huckabeeut of the water, santorum and make his space here. he didn't announce in texas, but reverend, there are a ton of texans at liberty university so it was almost like he was doing it in texas. he had one foot in texas. but what i think is so interesting is with ted cruz announcing, all of the focus when it comes to texas is going to be on him. rick perry's going to announce pretty soon i would bet, but he is going to be in the shadow of ted cruz because he's really going to embody that texas tea party mentality in the republican party. >> let me go back to something you said about the evangelical vote, because senator cruz made a serious pitch for the evangelical vote. watch this. >> today, roughly half of born-again christians aren't voting. they're staying home. imagine, instead, millions of people of faith all across america coming out to the polls and voting our values. >> now, "bloomberg" reports, "the implicit promise to evangelicals was that he'd give them something to vote for. in

neil: well holy hola lay withed to cruz, and mike huckabee and carson striking up the christian votes, are you starting to think that santorum does not have a prayer? he is here to say you don't have a -- clue. and what the tech? what do we do whether tech turns on us? neil: who needs a ar tech -- architect if a 3-d printer can do what they do in a shorter amount of time? i warned you america. what is going on? what can prin trip ires do? >> they are cool in a lot of ways they have capability of building a building. they can -- they are stackable. if you have a job in construction industry that involves hitting a hammer over and over against you should be scared chances are that the printers will take that over. but when it comes to strategically building something you still need human minds we have heard that technology is replacing humans. neil: i saw 2001, a space odyssey. i remember how a certain pod bay door would not open, i know how this ends. >> we will see homes becoming cheaper in many ways, i would appreciate that. neil: if you had a job to buy the home. >> but in places wh

in 2008, mike huckabee won the campaign. this past cycle, rick santorum winning the caucus, and his campaign -- though he won 10 or 11 primaries, lost traction. do you worry that iowa is putting candidates on the center stage, and yet not really giving the voters the candidate that ultimately becomes either the nominee or a key player in the nomination process? jeff: i don't. here's the reason why. first of all, i would separate the straw poll from the caucus. four years ago, rick santorum did win the caucuses and one several other primaries. mitt romney was just a few votes behind and became the nominee. don't forget, both bush is one iowa. iowa is the beginning. it is a snapshot at that time. i don't think we want iowa to continually named the winner. if i'm a chair of one of the 49 other states, that would be game over. i think it is healthy that i would does not necessarily pick the winner every time. i think the strength of iowa -- and why i would argue our first face the nation status is so important is because we did

mike huckabee's won it before, rick santorum has won it before. ted cruz is trying to say to people, it's time for somebody new and it's time for me. >> john, that's what makes this obamacare argument so difficult. he has spent his career in the senate hard charging against the policy that now people can say, oh, wait, he's sign being up from obamacare? i've heard from a lot of folks who are kind of puzzled, even not those. wait, ted cruz is signing up for obamacare? what? that has the potential to do some damage because it's short, it's catchy. one he hopes won't be a problem. >> what you said that nailed it to me, this is an inspirational battle in the republican field. ted cruz is in his 40s. marco rubio is in his 40s. rand paul is more youth full. this is what cruz wants to do. set himself up as a new face for a new generation of conservatives. they may not care for scott walker. >> he's a senator, as is marco rubio, rand paul, a bit older. three of those four, lindsey graham, that means you have to vote. that means you have to vote a lot. one

like when huckabee ran last time and winning iowa helped him.g him. >> on the democratic side martin o'malley speaking up over the weekend and here is what he had to say: >> let's go honest. the presidency of the united states is not some crown to be passed between two families. it is a sacred trust to be earned and exercised on behalf of the american people. >> what do you think ed? >> it is nice for the governor to say that but the bushes have a lot of resources to get in and hilary clinton is leading overwhelming any democrat including him. it as a nice thought but not reality. >> in the early stages it might be the case because they are well known. but does he have a significant point about how americans feel about somebody new? >> it as a point he has to make. there is only one way for him to position himself and it is not hilary clinton and also from the outside. and i think ed is right here. you look at it jeb bush and hilary clinton are ahead. if you are going to chip away with that you have to start making it case -- there are people in

huckabee has proven it. >> absolutely it feels we're in a game of thrones sort of.s feels very shrewd on the part of cruz. rich is right. >> not only that jerry brown just handed him his first fundraising material to the right anyway there. >> our emails are in our inbox. >> i have more president ideal politics coming up. next i'll take a look at just how different the primary electorates are between the race democrats and who shows up to these primaries for 2016. we'll be right back.

how does mike huckabee get into the race now? how does rick santorum? the fact he was able to compel the liberty crowd. he gave a speech conservatives could love though most of it was disingenuous. >> everything he said was a direct slam to the face of jeb bush. a slam. i mean, the whole thing about immigration, of course. jeb bush is married to the immigration issue basically. he's totally for hispanic opportunity in this country. he's for common core. this guy is just saying, smack all that. >> that's where i think jeb bush is going to be dangerous and have an impact in the republican field. >> jeb bush? >> i'm sorry, ted cruz. i doubt he's going to get the support from republican elites and big donors that's necessary to win the primary, but he will force them to respond to his very, very conservative -- >> give me a picture of the debate. >> he says one of these things in front of jeb bush. what does jeb bush say? >> talks about immigration, say we need to prevent a path to citizenship and jeb bush has to respond to that. the conservative base agree

>> no, no, i'm talking like the people about huckabee. they're not nuts. they see a political ambition there. they look at that as a political opportunity. >> they also see that israel is, you know, we need to be their ally. we need to support them in what they do. >> we are. >> i was relieved to hear our u.n. ambassador samantha power earlier today talking at aipac about the fact that is an eternal relationship that's not going to be muddled by current politics. >> connie, let me bring you in. get in here. go ahead. >> the word relieved. of course, we know we're going to protect israel. this is not going to damage the long-term relationship between the united states and israel and i don't think it -- it's so political, so heated right now and such a distraction from what we should be focused on right now which is negotiations are iran. >> let me just say, i'm relieved for the public to hear this. you understand? >> any one of you three recognized geniuses -- sarcasm, sarcasm alert here -- believe that any president, left, right, or center, could leave wit

huckabee has proven it. >> absolutely it feels we're in a game of thrones sort of. this feels very shrewd on the part of cruz. rich is right. >> not only that jerry brown just handed him his first fundraising material to the right anyway there. >> our emails are in our inbox. >> i have more president ideal politics coming up. next i'll take a look at just how different the primary electorates are between the race democrats and who shows up to these primaries for 2016. we'll be right back. you know i tried one of those bargain paper towels but the roll just disappeared. bounty is 2x more absorbent so one roll lasts longer. bounty. the long lasting picker upper d colourists know roots take colour one way, and previously coloured hair another. new vidal sassoon salonist. first, brush roots then, blend through lengths. our most advanced system outside the salon. it's more than colour. it's a work of art. >>> nerd screen time while we wait to see which candidates decide to run, might have one tomorrow this sunday i want to take a look at the democratic and republican pre

huckabee huckabee's 52% jeb bush is 49%. the interesting thing is the not support part.pport piece. whereas huckabee and bush have a large, 40 and 42%. >> the dyed in the wool a neocot. marco rubio has tried to represent the hawkish side. the upside is scott walker because there is such antipathy for unions. >> i do think there's some of that is that they don't know the candidates. i mean bush everybody knows bush so they can have strong opinions about them. they mostly don't know scott walker or even rubio. so polling numbers at this stage of the presidential campaign are incredibly hard to interpret. >> that's the most generous thing you've ever said about them. you usually say forget it ignore these idiotic polls. that's the most diplomatic way you've ever put it. >> and i'm not diplomatic. >> we're going to leave on your diplomatic high point right there. thank you all for joining me tonight. >> thank you. >>> coming up next never before seen evidence in the case against the accused boston marathon bomber. re you deserve. at humana, we believe the gap will close when

the strength of israel he resents very much the strength of benjamin netanyahu. >> clearly mike huckabee on the din eshesh d'souza train. does it seem to you that folks here in the united states in which bibi netanyahu was their leader? >> i think the problem that netanyahu has politically in the united states and around the world is this -- i don't think anybody would begrudge israelis their sense of concern about the rhetoric coming out of iran about iran's talk of wanting to destroy israel. the israelis have every right to be skeptical and so do we. but netanyahu has undercut his broad bipartisan appeal by number one, making common cause with the hard right of the republican party by turning himself into a wedge issue here in the united states in an attempt to divide the democratic party. and by saying in the last couple of days of the election that he would reject the idea of a two-state solution in israel and palestine and also raising alarms about the number of arab israeli arab voters who would take part in the election. those kinds of things get in the way of the israelis being h
