is jeb bush that guy this time?he the one that if he makes it clear he's running, others will decide not to? >> you know, i still wonder if two words come to mind. too soon. i mean, the george w. bush presidency is still not held in high esteem amongst many voters who still blame bush for the economic downturn at the end of his administration that has carried us to this day. jeb bush has the ability to talk to hispanic, more moderate, but i also wonder if you know, people will be a little tired of the bush dynasty come to 2016. >> well, they're too tired of it now, but 2016 is a few years away. thank you both for joining me tonight. >>> coming up, good news for democrats trying to keep control of the senate in 2014 and one republican whose strategy for dealing with latino voters is to completely give up on them. that's next in the rewrite. want to try to crack it? yeah, that's the way to do it! now we need a little bit more... [ male announcer ] at humana, we understand the value of quality time and personal attenti

one name is jeb bush. that's right. the brother of president george w. bush. the bush political dynasty. maria cardona joins us now along with rion salam. is jeb bush really going to run? >> well, it's not clear right now. but i'll say this. jeb bush is widely regarded as a tremendously effective political operator and having been a successful governor of florida. the truth is, that had his name been smith instead of bush, i think a lot of people would have been wondering why he didn't run this time around. i think he's a formidable competitor. >> you bring up a really good point here. if you're a democrat, you're saying sure, give us another bush to run against because we think the bush name is somewhat poison right now, maria, but, but, jeb bush is fluent in spanish. he's married to a woman who grew up in mexico. he has strong ties in a big state with a big latino vote. this is the kind of guy that could put democrats on the des. >> he would give us a whole lot more competition than mitt romney did, but that's not saying much. jeb bush absolutely i think is

>> jeb bush. >> jeb bush. interesting. you're sort of an establishment republican. >> yeah, of course. i'm not a tea party. i will say though i think the tea party reaction was a reaction not to what bob was saying, but a reaction to big government, much of what -- >> you're -- okay. look, i think jeb is the best of that family in many ways, but let me tell you something. it's not a bad family, but he's certainly the best of them. let me tell you the problem with what you said, feary, and gave away. this is a dangerous thing you have given. one of my little speech notes i give when i talk to groups is just think about the country we're in. from the time i paid attention to politics in 1952 to 2004, the same three names showed up on every republican ticket, nixon, let's see, bush, then filling in the blanks, bob dole and back by popular demand in '96 bob dole. now you're saying the solution to the republican future is bush. it's a legacy. can't you broaden it out beyond the anglo-saxon names bush and dole and nixon. can't y

ton of phone calls made by the cast of thousands thinking about running for president in 2016. >> jeb busho you think of the prospects? wouldn't the democrats love to have another bush to blame? it is getting too late to blame the last one but now another one? >>guest: well, look, eight years is a long time, and it will have been eight years since his brother was in the white house and a heck of a lot longer since his father was in the white house. would that be a problem for him? yes. in one sense it would be. because he would be held to account for the problems that americans associate with his brother's presidency that would be true even if the republican party, but, remember something, the bushes are the republican kennedys. there are so many of them and they have been in public office of all sorts for decades, now. so that is a very significant candidacy if he chooses to run. >> let's talk about another florida favorite, florida senator rubio, he is young, there has been a lot talk he could get the hispanic vote, that is what republicans need. what do you think of his prospects of win

jeb bush is a very likable candidate. but i'd guess that hillary is really -- she works hard at this nomination, she can unify the party big-time and i bet she'll have obama supporting her. chris: and especially if the economy is good the next four years. thanks for the great round table. that's the show. thanks for watching and don't forget that the victims of hurricane sandy are really hurting right now. especially after that new york, new jersey area. these tragedies hurting real families like yours. give them a lift. go to the red cross website. we'll see you back here next week.

[ female announcer ] this is the story of eves. [ eves ] years ago, i hurt my shoulder drag racing. that's when i decided to take it easy, so i took up hang gliding. [ female announcer ] a grandpa who refuses to grow up. [ eves ] the pain was bad, but the thought of not being a hang glider pilot was worse. [ female announcer ] that's when eves turned to sutter health's palo alto medical foundation. [ eves ] the doctors that i dealt with, they

susan, let's start with jeb bush. he's in the news today.popu popular ex-governor of a very important swing state, obviously. plus there's the belief that he could help them somewhat reconnect with latino voters. this such a tough decision for jeb bush? >> it's way too early to make the decion first. for four years running for governor. you're going to have to take every hit. look what happened with marco rubio just this last all of a sudden he didn't answer a question right and gh that especiallyhave the midterm elections for congress coming up where you have people tend to run to their right or left no presidential contender wants to be out there until at least after that. although they'll try to raise some money here. >> when you go to iowa like marco rubio did last week you don't just show up in iowa to visit a friend. >> no, you don't. >> you show up -- >> he suffered the consequences of it. >> i think the republican party has a way bigger problem than, you know, whether jeb bush or marco rubio will be the frontrunner right now. i think

some interesting comments from jeb bush jr., the son of jeb bush, former governor of florida, and rand paul. let's play this and we'll get you on the other side. >> your dad going to run for president? >> i don't know. no comment. i certainly hope so, but -- >> which is it? >> i don't know or no comment. >> i hope so. >> is there going be to be another paul for president campaign? is. >> that's classified. i can't tell you that. you don't have clearance to hear that. i want to be part of the national debate. i think it's a little too soon to talk about who is going to run and who is not going to run. to tell you the truth, i don't know what will come. am i interested in thinking about that? yes. >> talk about a soul for the fight for the gop, rand paul versus jeb bush not to mention others trying to get in but we're starting to see two very different wings of the gop staking out ground. >> and i would say three, marco rubio out there, jeb bush who swatted down marco rubio's comments about the age of the earth, not knowing how old it was. and rand paul, he's running. let's just put it o

i'm talking about some real life marco rubio or jeb bush. leaders liked -- i am talking about someone like marco rubio or jeb bush. leaders like that, it is possible with a different leader. >> central ways of understanding with the tea party is evolving. republicans in the republican coalition are many voters that are not comfortable. we asked if the growing number of newcomers is a good thing? it was put exactly in half. how much leeway do you think party leaders have to realign their position on these issues? their position on these issues?

the question is can jeb bush win the primaries? tavis: that is funny. >> can he be a strong candidate? absolutely. that would be a hell of race. tavis: you think hillary should run? >> if i were an adviser i would hope she would run. i -- we are ready for a woman president on either take it. we have had a certain point where the clintons, clinton helped elect obama. obama called him immediately. if obama can adopt a clinton's second term, they will be very strong because clinton finished with an enormous plurality in the economic side of things. he had a tremendous run as president. most people say if bill clinton were running this time, he would have run bigger than obama won. the public likes him and the like hillary. she has been a great secretary of state. even the opponents like her. she would be a very strong candidate i think. i would encourage her to run and i do not think she would have any opposition. i know that governor cuomo of new york and the governor of maryland -- tavis: will biden run? how long do you think -- she

jeb bush, maybe one of his -- >> craig fugate a republican would not work for george w.h after katrina. but when obama called him he said yes because they were serious about professionalizing -- >> there's the door. >> two guys, governor bush and governor christie, both could run for flpresident in 2016, taking different approaches to the image they're putting forward in the last few days of the campaign. you know they both of them have been not totally sole on the notion that romney was going to win for most of the time. privately both -- >> is that what's happening? >> i think both of them are looking, to some extent, what comes next. i'm not saying they don't want governor romney to win this election but both skap ceptical his chances for a year and a half. governor christie, not taking anything away from -- i think he was genuinely star struck to be on marine one, but he needs to get re-elected. he has a tough re-election battle. you can't be on the wrong side of president obama in the disaster situation if you're going to win re-election in a blue state in a year fr

>the most fascinating figure in republican politics has to be jeb bush. he has predicted that texas will be a blue states by 2020 if republicans fail to address the immigration problem. >> i think all he needs is a name change. >> i have a suggestion, jeb of tracinda -- jeb ochocinco. that way he covers all of the pertinent of voters of the same time. >> he gave a very competitive speech. mr. chris christie, the last person to tell him he should join a gyn, but watching him get out of a limousine is like watching the russians get out of afghanistan. >> more ahead. >> and joe kelly was the best kind of a friend, a friend that would keep a secret from my friend that you could trust. >> feddis don phillips talking to abc news about his friend. the what ms. kelly decided not to keep secret is that mr. patraeus's mistress was sending her threatening e-mails. she called a friend of the ca, who tipped off a couple of congressmen, including minority leader eric cantor. david petraeus lost his job as the head of the cia. analysts it was all caught up in what has b

itself. >> if, in fact hillary clinton decides to seek the nomination and gets the nomination and jeb bush gets the republican nomination it's bush/clinton all over again. >> we like familiarity in our politics. if we could just get a jefferson or hamilton to run again, we would all -- >> how about a lincoln? >> never too soon to start talking about politics. john dickerson, thanks so much. >> thanks, norah. >>> to the growing instability in the middle east. egypt's capital this morning, opponents rallied against mohamed morsi, he met with the senior judges monday trying to quiet the dispute over his effort to assume near absolute power. holly williams is in cairo. good morning holly. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. he met with several senior judges and told them that one of his new powers immuneity from the court would only apply to sovereign matters. the problem is that we don't know exactly what that means. it certainly won't satisfy his opponents. they're holding a large demonstration today in tahrir square, right behind me. you'll remember the square from last year's egy

. >> reporter: he never mentioned the president by name, but governor jeb bush did, claiming mr. obama's making excuses for his failures. >> it's almost as though the dog ate my homework is the reason why we're going through tough times. >> reporter: early voting reopened in maryland with some long lines. >> three hours. >> yeah, yeah, but it's worth it. >> reporter: in areas where flooding destroyed some polling places, they're considering putting up tents to make sure residents can vote tuesday. more polls, quinnipiac gives the president a five-point edge in ohio, but they say things are so close, it's such a small lead in virginia and florida, they're calling it a tie. lynn? >> all right, tracie potts for us in washington. tracie, thanks. so, as we mentioned, the obama/christie meeting has been an extraordinary coming together of two political polar opposites, men who have very recently delivered some extremely biting comments about the other, but now put iting citizens above politics. it is interesting because just a few hours before their meeting former florida governor and

governor jeb bush did. claiming mr. obama is making excuses for his failures. >> it's almost as though the dog ate my home work is the reason why we're going through tough times. >> reporter: early voting reopened in maryland with long lines. >> three hours? >> yeah. it's worth it. >> reporter: in areas where flooding destroyed some polling places, they're considering putting up tents to make sure that residents can vote. more polls have the president up five points in ohio. they say things are so close and such a small lead in virginia and florida, they're calling it a tie. lynn? >> thank you. >>> we mentioned the obama-christie meeting is an extraordinarily coming together of two people that are polar opposites politically. men who have very recently delivered some extremely biting comments about the other. but now putting citizens above politics. it's very interesting. a few hours before their meeting, former florida governor and romney supporter jeb bush had this to say on the stump. >> do you honestly think this pr

damage on wednesday governor mitt romney campaigned in florida with the state's former governor jeb bushorm florida had to face in 2004 and 2005 alone. governor bush joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. charlie can you hear me >> yes i can. you've been through this. tell me what your experiences teach you about this kind of devastation and how to respond? >> well, it requires public leadership and governors and mayors appear to me to be stepping up in a very important way. it requires having a coordinated response, not getting impatient, communicating well to the people, giving them some confidence that the information you give is truthful and it is accurate. it requires more than anything else getting power back up because as you can see without power life just doesn't work really well in the united states particularly in densely-populated areas. and then there's going some real conflicts in the weeks to come about insurance and about reimbursement but right now i think the focus is how do you get power back on as quickly as possible so moms can drop their kids off at child care

because now the atmosphere is right for him to run jeb bush for president come twenty six i don't disagree with you and i appreciate your perspective and and i personally expect jeb bush is going to be the twenty sixteen republican presidential candidate george in greenville south carolina george we have thirty seconds left it's yours. ok tom and i'm going to bring up with the fact that i've been on lifetime republican and i would not support either john mccain and mitt romney because they simply wanted to extend these useless wars in the mideast here like the fact that even get into the mideast and just fight just least senseless wars. x x x a lot or any of the major parties excellent point. thank you very much i appreciate the call my dad was a republican his whole entire life he was a good and decent man to eisenhower was a republican and he was one of the greatest advocates for peace this country's ever seen because he saw how horrible war was and i just i'm mourning the loss of a rational republican party that's it for your take my take it live thank you for all your calls but don't g

jeb bush in 2016? it's not too early for chatter. former florida governor and son and brother of two presidents is said to be weighing finances before deciding whether or not he will make a run for himself. i want to bring in a former strategist. also the chief political correspondent and a democratic strategist. hello, guys. good to have you all. what's the deal with you, chip? too much tryptophan? couldn't get to the studio? >> too much turkey. they would have had to wheel me. they decided the phone is better. >> "the new york times" is calling jeb bush the man for the moment. he's a conservative. but he's writing a book on immigrati immigration. his wife was born in mexico. speaks spanish. he does speak spanish. would jeb bush largely solve the gop's problems with hispanics? >> well, i think he's part of the solving of the puzzle. i think really this is obviously too he will. what's more interesting is the stories are being written but then you had his son on tv in flo florida and said he hoped he would run. obviously the bush mac

we're going to go to jeb bush. >> you know where i was going. >> governor bush, can you hear us now,. >> okay, great. first thing i said and i'll tell you, it was kind of funny because you couldn't hear, i was saying out of all the swing states it looks like florida is one that the romney campaign feels pretty good about and you were going like that, that you couldn't hear and i was saying oh, my god, i don't think he can hear so that was not a no. florida, how do you handicap it right now, governor? >> i think it's close but i do believe that the intensity is on governor romney's side. it will be a close election but i think romney will prevail. >> you have seen what the east coast is dealing with, and i remember katrina but i also remember andrew and the power that that packed. you weren't governor way back then but florida has seen its share of this activity. what can you tell us, make us feel better or to know that sooner or later they will come back from this? >> well we had eight hurricanes and four tropical storms in 14 months, over $100 billion of damage, and i have powerful

. >> and as the party begins to move on, we hear about jeb bush from his son, the fact that jeb bush may be running and jeb bush actually chastising marco rubio for some of the comments that he made in iowa. >> don't you feel like 2016 started on november 5th? i mean you've got marco rubio in iowa, campaigning with the governor. i mean celebrating the governor's birthday. what do we think that meant? gorjts p. bush, maybe running for 2020 or 2024, running for land commissioner texas. you know, you really get the sense that there is a big field for the gop in four years and it's some of the people who for whatever reason didn't run this time but might be formidable characters, nominees next time like chris christie, for instance. >> or some of the other governors as well. thank you very much, susan page, mark, thank you very much. >> happy holidays, be andrea. >> same to you and yours. we are following breaking developments out of the middle east. a cease-fire is set to begin in less than an hour from now. about a half hour. we're expecting to hear from israel's prime minister, benjam

by the way, jeb bush could not have a more toxic name. >> he could if his name was jeb cancer for everyone the holocaust didn't happen junk ill. he is correct by the way. >> is that dutch? >> interesting last name. >> it is on his mother's side. >>> terry you said people don't care and it is something the left hung on them. but the thing is sphalings -- as long as the republicans give them the chance, the media will hang it on them in 2016. there is a reason george steph knop plus came out, the thing that bathers me -- why do the right have to move? >> i think it is because they lost. >> the right has to say, we don't want that. >> i know a lot of conservative people. we don't want to be in your bedroom. you keep dragging me in there because you want me to pay for stuff. i don't care what you do. >> that would have been more con sowfable if i didn't find you in my bedroom. >> we had an agreement. it was to not talk about this. i am done with you now. >> terry, i don't mind you are in there of it is the ma poke craw see. >> he came down via a zip line. >> he was wedged in the corner. >> if

. >> rose: people like jeb bush? >> and you can't do that in the primaries and i think they thought president obama was ripe for the picketing, they lost the race and that battle is going to be -- it's going to play out in a very open, public, very bitter way. >> rose: i have to excuse you, matt dowd. mother abc is calling. >> the day before the super bowl it will be fun. (laughter) >> rose: go ahead. >> i think the republicans will be -- if governor romney loses in a situation annal us go to the democrats after the '88 election when there was a real question of what is our party going to be to win a presidential election again? they had bill clinton to lead that. ron brown as the chairman of the party. >> rose: in '88? >> from '88 to '92. it's not clear who that would be for the republicans. people talk about jeb bush, i'm not sure he's ready to take that on. there's no other obvious candidate to me right now the big issue now before we get to the elections starting in earnest-- though i agree it starts to some exte

after the remarks here's joined by jeb bush for a question and answer session. it's thirty five minutes. [applause] thank you for that. it's a pleasure to be here. thank you governor bush and the foundation for excellence. it will probably come as no shock to anyone in the room that we don't agree on everything. notwithstanding his relationship to my -- one thing i think we both agree on is the importance of having strong voices on championing the cause of education as a critical element of our nation's agenda and building a strong coalition in the center to demand reform of the public education system. the system that quite tankly, is still not working for too many of our students. governor, i really admire that building on your success as governor spent so much time in keeping the nation's focus on the -- [inaudible] for education reform through the foundation. this summit for passion this morning the amazing speech you gave this morning are testament to that. i really applaud you and -- [inaudible] it's also, i think, a pleasure to be here with reformed leader
