bush speaking out about 2016. he said he hopes that jeb runs for president. fortunately for the bushes, hillary clinton is beating bush in his own home state according to latest poll. which shows florida voters would choose clinton over the former florida governor, 49 to 41% that is just one poll, we'll have a lot more polls before 2016, joining us, a team former member. >> radio talk show host, monica crawl icrowley and judy miller,e start with the dynasty, brad, this creates a awful conflict for you, there it is, how did you feel about dynastys whether they be clintons or bushes? >> i think the both families have served u.s. very well. but i think it is time for new leadership, i served two of the bushes. >> go brad. >> i think the world of jeb bush but i think that america deserves fresh, new faces, and jeb could still be a vital part of a run in 2016, helping the republican get elected, i have one, how about jeb bush as leader of the aren't party, coming -- republican party, powerful. >> how about jeb bush as education at secretary under a republican presi

they are looking at jeb bush and what is going on. er chair of the south carolina republican party, barry wint said, they feel good about jeb. they don't have any questions about his integrity. that's a pretty pointed quote in a story about jeb versus chri y christie. >> the republican party, you talk about the establishment, is the bush people. george h.w. bush became chairman of the rnc. another thing going on here is chairman of the south carolina republican party and the south is going to be difficult for chris christie. i mean, that's going to be tough. >> quickly, do you think chris christie is going to look at jeb warily for the next few months? >> surely. as mitt romney was becoming the nominee, he was getting drafted. now the draft effort is for somebody else and he's not the popular girl at the dance anymore. >> it's a fickle sport, politics is. >>> when you look closely at the math, there's a drawbrak. >>> and later, he's the star of two television shows but there's nothing like cracking jokes about the president to the pres

jeb bush has to come across as the son of bush as opposed to brother of.nce going on around george h.w. bush's presidency. he's now getting the medal from are the kennedy library. the famous friendship he has with clinton. everybody loves george h.w. bush now. >> the irony is the reassessment of george h.w. bush is because of the failures of george bush. george h.w. bush didn't go to talk. >> so jeb bush runs as the god brother, the good son. >> create a realistic separation. i get the idea of linking all three of the bushes and particularly jeb to his brother, jeb is his own man. he was a very successful governor of a very important state. he's done a good job redefining the party or trying to redefine the party for the 21st century whether it's common core, bringing a human face to the story of immigration in this country. despite the types of people who reject that. you're not being realistic. jeb bush will be his own person. >> it's one of my favorites -- >> you can't lock him up with iraq. when asked what type of president he would be -- >> i have tol

poor jeb bush is saddled with the name bush. mike huckabee, people know. i think rubio and ryan are a softer version until you peel back the i don't know i don't know -- onion. the four clips you played they're part of the concentrated campaign. she's going to decide what's best for her and the country, but she's not going to be scared off. the last guy, that rush guy, he is demented. there's no question. with karl rove, there's a little bit of a question. but with rush, there is no question. >> they used to hide heez people in the east wing of the old house. now they're running around. thank you. coming up, yes, he wants to make hillary's health initiative, but he wants something more, he wants to when back the white house by convincing jeb bush the offshore batteries knew are severely badging pillory clinton so he can get in the fight. we'll see if that's true. also, the secretary of veterans affair eric shinseki says he's mad as hell for the long waits to see a doctor. and the efforts to cover it up. plus, which state has the least trusted state governm

can you see jeb bush joining up with the religious right? ally far more conservative than george w. bush was. anticipate he is pro life and he is, you know, he's the one who talks with compassion about immigration, for example. that doesn't really help him much in south carolina and some of the other southern states, but he, you know, he has an ability to, i think reach people in ways that some of these others may not. he may surprise you. even though he may not be quite as well known as some of the other likely candidates in certain ways, but he has the ability to speak, he's very conversational. if you've heard him speak, you know this. i think he can appeal to a broad cross section of people, even in south carolina. i don't think you have to necessarily tote a gun, but you do have to be respectful of people and recognize that it's not -- you know, that the southerners and christians are not people to be sidelines. i would add to that, of course they're going to prefer someone like mike huckabee, but he's not running for president. >> how m

and today, some of his donors are running in exodus for jeb bush.conversations that are now seeping into public view, some donors are signalling to tryst christie's camp that should mr. bush enter the race, their first loyalty would be to him, not mr. christie. this is according to interviews with more than two dozen of those fat cats. you, sir, have been the star of the story, so report. is christie off on some cloud nine on this thing? and if so he's the only one there because these other republicans who are very conscious of money and winning. that's what they mean to these big guys. they think he's not their guy right now. they're looking at bush. >> they're smart. they know there's uncertainty. what christie is doing and saying publicly is what he has to do and say. he has to hope there's some kind of exoneration that comes out of this. >> isn't that his problem, he won't get a clearance early. there will be all these traps he has to get through. >> this week is a perfect demonstration. here we are talking about christie in 2016 and here he's s

here are some numbers, jeb bush polled at 21% positive. ul and even the tea party movement itself which had 22%. and also a recent texas tribune poll had jeb in fifth place after rick perry and rand paul and paul ryan. are some of those fringe elements going to be his big achilles' heel? >> it's going to be a problem. zach is right. the problem for jeb bush is not the general election, especially if it's bush versus clinton. his real -- and being attached to his brother which will be something he has to deal with. the real problem is getting out of the republican primary when you have all of these folks. the bush people, people around him, people somewhat close to him who are talking to me say that they believe there's an excellent chance in places like ohio and south carolina and northern florida and elsewhere that the right side of the party, the tea party people on the republican side who would say anybody but jeb are going to divide among themselves will not coalesce around a single candidate and end up nominating somebody just like jeb

jeb bush's father, most importantly, his former president father, would like him to run. r has been more tepid about it. people around her and a spokesman for h.w. bush say in part that's because she doesn't want people to think there's a sense of entitlement that comes with being a bush and he has a prerogative to do this. his wife is also another major concern. >> neil bush, the other brother, told gloria yes, he thinks he should run. george w. bush told jake tapper thinks he should run as well. we'll see what happens. brianna, you've been covering the clinton camp. how do they feel about a possible jeb bush run for the white house? >> i don't know how hillary clinton would feel about this. i think there are a lot of democrats who would actually like this. they feel like it would be more of an issue-based campaign. i also heard from some who wonder if he's really in fighting form. you know, we've been seeing hillary clinton in a way -- she was out of the political spotlight for quite a while. she's getting back into it. maggie and i have talked about this. sort of flexin

a lot of people really like jeb bush. i'm one of them.nk he is a great guy, terrific governor in florida, smart, articulate so i can certainly understand -- >> he is the moderate side -- the is on the -- dare i say the moderate wing of the republican party, the center. >> there's somewhat an irony to that. jeb was considered one of most conservative governors when he was in office, very conservative. as he governed, to cut taxes. of all the people in america he would be the most surprised to hear he is suddenly a moderate. that's one of the things that is an interesting knew nuance how labels are applied. >> he is something of a competitor of yours. i am aware of a poll in arkansas, where a a variety of republicans were matched against hillary clinton and you were the only republican to beat her. any comment? >> i look at jeb bush as a colleague, not a competitor. i would look at hillary clinton a competitor of ideas. whether or not i run or jeb bush runs, our ideas clash, because i really do believe we have way too much government. i thi

diminished his capacity to live. >> so could a phone call with his big brother be enough to lure jeb bushthe race? let's bring in cnn analyst and writer for politico, maggie and also gloria borger. how much sway do you think he holds on jeb's decision? >> he endorsed romney from an elevator as i recall. he does not hold a ton of sway on jeb's decision as i understand it. what he says about people don't believe we don't talk that much, according to everyone involved, they don't really talk that much about this. i think his brother's experience will have some sway on what jeb does. it's impossible to think that it doesn't. i don't think his brother will be doing too many cajoling phone calls. i think he thinks yes, he should run, he would be a good president. >> gloria, in a cnn exclusive interview, brother neil bush told you that george h.w. bush, the dad, wants jeb to run. mom said no last year on the "today" show. is it time for a family meeting here? >> it might be time for a family meeting. you know, neil said to me, you know, flat out, i heard dad say it, he wants him to run. i think

and yes jeb bush is my friend.ink he'd make a great president and i've been nudging him for some time. >>> meanwhile, former new york city mayor michael bloomberg is defending hillary clinton on benghazi in a new interview with politico saying, quote, i think most of the criticisms of hillary are totally unfounded. you can maybe disagree with her policies, but what do you expect her to do in benghazi? it's that type of cheap politics which i don't like. she's very competent. >>> at a vote on chamber of commerce, issued a joke saying this about immigration reform. >> if republicans don't do it, they shouldn't have bought and run a candidate in 2016. >> wow. >> i mean, think about that. think about who the voters are. and i just did that to get everybody's attention, but -- >> republican governor brian sandoval is up for re-election in nevada. he sent out a campaign mailer that would not have attracted much attention except for the fact the mailer spells the state's name wrong. neveda. your morning reminder to always

marco rubio hopes you didn't say jeb bush. rubio is the latest to come out swinging. >> it seems obvious, you're moving closer to running for prds. >> i've openly said in the past it's something i'll consider at the end of this year. >> do you think you're ready to be president? >> i think that's true for multiple other people that would want to run. >> then he lounged for a tiny pot bottle of water -- kidding. he did say hillary clinton has no right to brag about her job in state department. >> if you look at her diplomacy, it failed everywhere in the world. >> harsh. >> and the "washington post" looks at another spanish speaking floridian republican, whether his family is on board. jeb bush has repeatedly said he will decide based on whether he believes he can run in an optimistic campaign. run jointly as he's put it as well as whether a campaign would be the right thing for his family. florida isn't seen this much action since the hanging chad area. i want to bring in bob shrum and robert trayhnum. off the bat, who really h

i'm ready to put on some 45 stocks -- socks and rock them out for jeb bush. i don't think he owes anybody anything. i don't think he should be disqualified by virtue of his last night. we should care about who is the most qualified and who has the heart in the right place to do what's best for the country. >> eric, what do you think? you are not necessarily in bush's corner because he's a little more progressive than you like, i take it. >> let me qualify. i agree he's probably very qualified. he's probably very smart. >> and a good guy. >> and probably a very good guy. my issue with the bush type of candidate is it is a little too down the middle for me. it's a little too far left for me. the comment on immigration being an ak of love, the base hated that and the hate hated his stance on common core. those are some things he's going to have to work around to get the republican nomination. >> i don't know how you do that. >> that's the problem with the republican party. to get pass the primary, you have to appeal to the base and then to get to the presidency,

it has been about foreign policy and her book so far, but meantime, the 2016 potential challenger jeb bushnes after another possible gop contender weighed in. >> i take jeb at the word which is that he has not made a decision about what he wants to do, and that it is intensely personal decision and i agree with that, and it is a decision that will have a huge impact on the family, and he wants to make sure that they are on board if he does it, and i agree with that and he has to determine whether he has the fire in the belly to do this. >> for all things 2016, bring in political an analyst from grio.com christina maxwell and chris wilson, a gop pollster. before we begin, let's listen to karl rove trying to clear things up in fox. >> i did not say brain damage, but a serious health episode, and the point is that hillary clinton wants to run for president, but she would not be human if this did not enter into a consideration. and my other point is that it is an issue in the 2016 race whether she likes it or not. >> and certainly, the health questions, are they fair game? >> well, karl rove k

fails as well, but they wonder, and i think you know 15%, only 15%, the new economist poll, want jeb bush listeners the most part are, nothing personal, wonderful family. >> then there was the post/abc poll saying 72% of conservatives had a favorable view of the bush family. >> it's not personal. >> but with jub, here's the thing. it's too early in the process. we've got to let him voice his -- >> why is he waiting? he gets a free ride right now. he's waiting because he gets a free ride. a free ride on imigation amnesty, on common core. both flashpoint issues for the republican party. >> i would want to see more of a front runner coming up. it's scary attacking ourselves instead of enemy number one. >> i think a lot of folks believe the establishment is the enemy. >> that's the unfortunate part. >> it's not the unfortunate part. it's the truth. the reason we have barack obama is because we had a failed second bush term. again, i love george w. bush, i love him as a person. >> and you had two weak -- >> who wasn't a establishment candidate. romney, a establishment candidate. >> where will

the younger of the the two former presidents bush is weighing in. i hope jebormer president george w. bush said in an interview this week, adding that he's cheeking his core. jeb may be doing his own gut check or core check but the american people seem pretty much over the whole political dynasty thing. a new nbc/"wall street journal" poll out this week finds 69% of country agree with barbara bush's now famous statement that more than two or three families should run for high office in america. can anybody from outside those two or three families even begin to summon the money and machine necessary to win? joining me now is "times" editor at large and senior political analyst mark halperin and senior political reporter at "the new york times," nick canfostori. you co-authored this latest bit of co-donors in "the new york times." how much teeth nashing is really going on among moderate establishment republican donors at this point? >> i think a whole lot, alex. there's a whole invisible primary at this point. i know it sounds absurdly early. but these guys are

. >> let's talk about jeb bush. a lot of people talking about jeb bush.d doug, he's being call a great thinker by many people. he's actually forming these think sessions with people and he reads all sorts of policy. he's really focused in on how to make america better. >> i think we may have some difference in our group here. i think this is all to the good. the republican party has a really limited number of new ideas. i know jeb bush to be somebody who is thoughtful, who defies the conventions in his party, is willing to consider out of the box solutions on taxes and spending and budgets, and, look, he does have problems, mostly associated with exhaustion with the family name and obviously his brother's presidency, but this is to the good, and hiem here to say i think he is the strongest potential republican opponent to hillary, notwithstanding the problems the party has and jeb bush has because of his name is history. >> even some democrats have indicated he is somebody to watch for. your thoughts. >> well, i've always had great respect for him and i r

jeb bush is appealing because he conceivably could pick the lock on hispanic voters. >> the demographics matter but the electoral college matters more. you bush is i will try to win california, he probably would not regardless but it would not be laughable. jeb bush winning florida, not laughable. winning wisconsin, not laughable. >> he is very impressive in interviews and speeches when he is there with other people. >> i find people like him and respect him and think he would be a good president. >> layer part of the same story. >> great to have you here. back in a moment. stay with us. ♪ >> kiefer sutherland is here. reprising his role in the fox series "24." over eight seasons, "24" was nominated for several awards and he won for outstanding lead actor. here is a teaser for "24: live another day." ♪ >> first time you have seen it. it ran during the super bowl. >> i was in london. i watched part of the super bowl. but it was like at four in the morning and they do not have any commercials. that is only here in the states. that is the first thing i have seen. >> tell me about how this a

when you've got consultants and donors who are going at this like jeb bush and say, you've got to do got to do it, it's easy for them to say, you're winning big or, look, you're poised to do really, really well. look at your numbers here among x group or x group. the case is a little bit harder. >> by the way, speaking of jeb bush, not only is he out raising money, he's out raising money for nikki haley. so choosing those states wisely. >> so let's talk about it in the same cnn poll, democrats are overwhelmingly behind. 64% say the former secretary of state would be their choice for the democratic nominee. it's down from january where it was at 70%. >> what's happened to her, jake? >> but i should say, there's also some news from her past, hillary clinton's presidential candidacy has an effect of causing a i love the '90s feel and monica lewinsky is out with a have the vanity fair" tease that is out, talking about the blue dress and the affair and what she went through. do you think this hurts hillary clinton's candidacy at all? >> no. >> not at all? >> i don't think it has any impac

but many of those king makers are now waiting to see what former florida governor jeb bush does. barry winn was a major fundraiser for both presidents bush. >> if jeb bush indicates later on that he wants to run, i think a number of those people probably would break away from governor christie. >> reporter: as head of the republican governors association, christie has been a fundraiser for the party and scored big points at this year's cpac convention. but the bridgegate scandal have republicans wonder how viable he is. >> you have to win the republican nomination. many think christie is too moderate and his love afest with obama antagonized. >> one big donor is 100% with christie. billionaire ken langone said christie has a better chance of connecting with people who vote democrat than bush. wynn disagrees saying in the bright lights, bush will wear better than christie and that the big money will follow the best bet. >> we have had several losing campaig campaigns. everybody wants to win. there's a sense of urgency that we have to win. the country needs us to win. >> wynn who c

>> on saturday, former florida governor jeb bush gave his only commencement address of the year in westernnia at a small christian liberal arts school called grove city college. laura bush, the former first lady gave the commencement address in 2011. it's in the rust belt in western pennsylvania, for him to pick that strategically is an interesting side of what's on his mind. >> leaning in there. julie? >> democrats are starting to feel increasingly optimistic about the marks. this is mark pryor of arkansas and mark begich of alaska. they're starting to show strength in recent polls. pryor appeared with the president in arkansas when obama went down there to see tornado damage. this allows him to push back against critic whose say he's running away with the president but appears in a setting to make it tough for opponents to use it against them. >> those two races, big for the republicans if they lose those. >> battle royale in georgia. tuesday is a critical primary day. we'll see a nine-week runoff. the question is going to be what do the outside groups that have sat out in this race, the

. >>> two other candidates former governor jeb bush and marco rubio are now being encouraged to run by condoleezza rice. >> marco rubio, i have great respect for. i like his immigration stance.

in more new jersey news, chris christie and jeb bush news, first reported on politico you had tom caneunior host a fund-raising for george p. push. tom cain said he found george p. bush wonderful, delightful, couldn't have lauded him more strongly. it was taken very privately by a lot of republicans in new jersey as an attempt to needle chris christie in their on going feud, an attempt to make nice with jeb bush. >> love politics. >> ciersten gillibrand and claire mccaskill who are somewhat at odds over what to do about sexual assault in the military and shed light on sexual assaults on campuses. they'll have a meeting with university administration officials, law enforcement, students who have been victims of sexual assault. i think we're beginning to see what it means to have 20 women in the senate. that will start monday and i think kickoff at some point hearings that look into this issue. >> we all wish them well. let me close with this, marco rubio and rand paul in the republican speaking agenda met in memphis and took some time, surprise, surprise, to have private meetings as the

would be stressful for you. >> well, i responded to a question, the interviewer asked if jeb bush ranand you ran would that be stressful or no problem? i saw given a choice between two, i said, between the two it would be stressful. because i like jeb, i respect him, i consider him a friend. i consider president bush 4 a friend. you don't like running against people who are your friends. rather against people you don't like, easier. it would be stressful but won't determine my decision. i suspect it wouldn't determine his either. i would have fun with jeb on the at pain trail, i think we're very similar in terms of our way of solving problems. i also think he's one of the nicest people i've ever had chance to meet in public life. he's a good guy. >> schieffer: so, who do you not like in the republican field? >> i don't want to -- then turn out not to run. that would be waste. >> schieffer: i'll be right back with the word about legendary barbara walters. >> schieffer: barbara walters said her goodbyes last week to the many well deserved accolades, i'll just add this. she was the best

that vacuum is powerful and sucking jeb bush back into it. he is the person they want, he is the one they think who has the best chance to win because it's a one-sentence job description for the party, who can beat hillary clinton. right now jeb is filling that vacuum because of christie's political troubles, transportation issues, because paul ryan doesn't seem like he wants to run and there is literally no one else close to the stature of those three for the establishment to say who can we get on board with now, prop up, get in the race and get ready for hillary clinton. >> charlie: so it's bush versus clinton. >> the country is looking for fundamental change. (laughter) >> at a time when the country is looking for change. you know, to bring the conversation full circle, part of the reason why jeb bush is attractive and why chris christie was attractive for a time, republicans need to pick the lock and get themselves out of. this they lost the last five of six presidential votes. the presidential electorate year, the year in the presidentia

if you have the bush name attached to you and i think that jeb bush is a smart individual, and no questiong the bush name, and how that is his brother's presidency was is a negative. now, if you are a clinton and she is accomplished person, and wildly respected and given president clinton's tenure as president which was successful, and the people across the board have a favorable opinion of it, it is more of a positive, but at the end of the day, running for president is an incredibly hard and brutal business. so i blame her for not running? no. she is going tick ma the calculation that is best for her and her family, and what she can offer the country, and see what happens. >> thank you, chris and alice. >>> coming up, it is not all business in washington, d.c. nope. outfits packed and the bars stocked and the jokes written, and we have the preview washington, d.c. style. the performance review. that corporate trial by fire when every slacker gets his due. and yet, there's someone around the office who hasn't had a performance review in a while. someone whose poor performance is slowing d

a weak tea party tuesday may have jeb bush and chris christie packing a sunny 2016 disposition as they both hit the sunshine state today. the sunshine state say that many times fast. good morning. i'm chris jansing. this morning there is new movement on a lot of fronts on the growing va hospital scandal. just moments ago the house veterans affairs committee voted unanimously to subpoena three top va officials to testify at a may 30th hearing if they don't voluntarily attend a hearing two days earlier. next hour one of president obama's closest advisers deputy chief of staff rob nabors will visit the phoenix va which is ground zero for the scandal. 40 vets may have died while waiting for care there. at 12:30 a embattled eric shinseki will return to capitol hill to meet with dick durbin. >> i'm going to put him on the spot to tell me what he's done in these six years and where we are. it is unacceptable if we have waiting lists for veterans in any facility that endanger their health. if we find that that has been the case, we have to make dramatic changes and these changes can go all of

>> jeb bush. jeb bush if he runs. but the party is so far and away from dealing with this.can do to improve your standing with hispanic voters on which they have done virtually nothing since the election when they realized they had to do it and then there's comprehensive immigration reform on which they're still standing in the way. the party is committing suicide. like i said, if people like the chamber and faith community want this to happen, they must act now and they're not. they're giving remarks like that, but that's not how it changes. >> it's amazing, donny, in the world of big business and small business the amount of intellectual property that is leaving this property after being educated here. the waste right in front of our eyes as people come and go to premiere schools, universities around the country, and then leave -- forced to leave, to go back to their own country. >> what about revenues like pfizer buying foreign companies to not pay taxes here. so the money is going, the people is going and that's no good. very quickly before we go, every time i hear jeb

. >> jeb bush. get closer to the campaign be engaged in it has not been but it will be in the coming months and certainly in november. the vacuum -- the fundraisers and the chattering class, they are the ones who pay attention from now through the end of next year, over a year from now. those people have by now every four years since ronald reagan had their favorite choice and that person has become the republican nominee every four years. that in a vacuum is powerful and it is sucking jim bush back into it. even if he becomes disinclined to run, until he says that, he is the person they want. he is the one they think has the best chance to win. it is the one sentence job description. who can beat hillary clinton and he looks to them to be the strongest. iny may be wrong but jeb is that vacuum. paul ryan does not seem like he wants to run. there is literally no one else close to the stature of those three for the establishment to say, who can we get on board with now and prop up yet -- and get in th

jeb bush, romney sported huppor. here in north carolina the tea party rebellion has been put down and the next six weeks will tell if that continues in georgia and mississippi. >> american cross roads supported tillis in this race. do you agree with joe's assessment? has the tea party been put down? >> i have a different view of it. there was a poll before the election by a think tank in north carolina and it showed tillis was winning social, economic and tea party conservatives. his approval was 56 approve and 26 unfavorable. among tea party members it was 59 approve and 24 disapprove. so what happened here was a candidate who could unite the party won. d tillis received support from my group and the commerce but harry reid's super pack spent $4 million beating them up and egg hagan's campaign sent $2 million on her campaign. and $6 million was wasted because the guy they tried to suppress cruised to a victory. >> he is running neck-and-neck with hagan now. this is a threat for democrats it would seem. >> money did

bush says he wants jeb to run and george w. ush says he wants his brother to run as well. >> i hope jeb would run. i think he would be a great president. i have no clue what's on his mind and we'll talk when he's ready. >> staying in the lone star state. another high profile american is thinking of entering the campaign. rick perry is considering. and just got the equivalent of a walk off home run. toyota just announced it's moving its hawr headquarters frm california to suburban dallas. texas is already number 1 on job creation in the nation. >>> in the 2014 congressional mid term elections house speaker john boehner made the enormous that many of his rank and file campaigners were hoping for it will a new select committee to investigate the terrorist attack in benghazi. four americans were killed. conflicting accounts about what it knew at the time, several congressional committees have already conducted investigations, boehner insists there are now more questions than other. earlier this week house minority leaderness nanclea

that article was titled "why jeb bush's turn may not come." think he is not going to be the next bush and perhaps the final bush in the white house? >> well, we never know about the final bush. there is a whole other generation of bushes to come. and i'm not an anti-bush guy in that sense, but there is something fundamentally weird, almost game of thrones-y about having for a quarter of a century every republican president come from one nuclear family. and i think there are a lot of people who rebel against that just for the dynasty reasons. but i think the real reason why as the quote from my column suggests, the real reason why jeb would have real trouble is that historically the republican party tends to nominate more centrist, moderate republicans. really only reagan and goldwater were true blue conservatives. and the reason for that is that the moderate sort of establishment republicans who come in second in any given presidential year in the primaries, they tend to go around trying to win over enough of the conservative base to get a win

a guy like jeb bush, who i believe would be a very strong general election candidate, he's got to getnd be a little less ambivalent about whether or not he wants to run. >> i don't think he does yet. there is plenty of time for him to mount a campaign. he can actually wait longer than anyone else. >> i will leave it there. that is what we don't want. stop waiting! forget it, everyone wants to skip the mid terms anyway, start now. up next, more of that completely unforgettable governor's debate for idaho. our final tdr 50 soup of the day from georgia comes from atlanta where they're serving lobster bisque at bones restaurant. considering what i said about atlanta, i have a feeling i'll have a hard time getting a meal in atlanta. hungry for the best? it's eb. want to give your family the very best in taste, freshness, and nutrition? it's eb. want to give them more vitamins, omega 3s, and less saturated fat? it's eb. eggland's best eggs. eb's. the only eggs that make better taste and better nutrition... easy. eggland's best eggs. better taste. better nutrition. better eggs. it's eb. bett

but jeb bush carries a lot of other baggage.ing to have to see how he conducts himself, what happens with the christie investigation. i twha this does is makes the establishment kind of hold back a little bit more to see how this all plays out rather than committing early. >> but not us. we're talking about it and there's 798 days to go. >> having clinton back there is like old times. >> it's all right. fun to watch. >> yep. >> thank you very much. thanks for being with us. when we come back, we have a miracle baby and hero cat and sisters that actually like each other. passion... became your business. at&t can help simplify how you manage it. so you can focus on what you love most. when everyone and everything works together, business just sings. >>> there are times in the news cycle where i need a little palate cleanse. three stories crossed today that made me go what? really? yay. and as a dog lover, i have to start with the one because i rarely give props to the felines of the world. after what happened in bakersfield, calif

jeb bush picking up a not-so-surprising endorsement thursday on cnn.hope jeb runs. i think he would be a great president. i have no clue what's on his mind. we'll talk when he's ready. i notice he's moving around the country quite a bit. >> i love him. >> i love it. george w. bush should have his own show. >> are you thinking what i'm thinking? cnn could have really caused an uproar at saying, i have no clue. >> hey, hey. that was my old boss. >> i like it. i think that's exactly right. here's the thing, though. we like to talk about 2016 a lot here. the public doesn't seem to be very interested at all in a clinton/bush race. this is an nbc news "wall street journal" poll. more than two-thirds of those questioned in the poll think that more than two families should be in contention for the presidency. that seems like the no brainer. what is our obsession with, you know, the clintons, the bushes? >> here's the thing. the question i think that we should be asking is where's the bench, right? if there are only the clintons and bushes, then clearly in our

bush used in his election campaign was authored by none other than jeb bush.eferring to illegal immigration as an act of love in a way to maybe triangulate it and win back the support or at least make hispanics give the republican party a second look. if there's one figure in the republican party that can do that with credibility, it is jeb bush. someone who feels completely at home and comfortable with hispanics in the hispanic community. you see his tilt back towards the middle on immigration particularly in this area where he knows in florida and especially nationally the republicans need to make grounds with hispanic votes if they ever hope to capture the white house again. very astute politics on his behalf. he's the one republican in america which has the credibility with which to do so. >> i want to ask you a bigger picture pollster hat, if you put that hat on for a second. the most interesting number is really this number about the income gap. people were asked do you believe that the widening income gap prevents you from rising, prevents you from havi

clinton would win her nomination and then in the general election, respectively, she would beat jeb bush 53% to 41%. so we see they hate dynasties, but we love clintons and bushes and kennedys and maybe one day soon obamas. or maybe just maybe we make way too much out of poll results. time now for a few of your thoughts. we have a special surprise for the authors of today's e-mails, tweets and face book posts. you will see one of the first copies of my new book, the thriller border war. it is high firmy first figures . written with a former dea agent and law enforcement officer. and now for your thoughts. rita tweeting us, hey, lou, you always look through all the crap and ask the right questions. thank you. dorothy tweeted about last night's poll question. no one believes boehner any more than they do president obama. all in-countnsume wents voted o. e-mail us and follow us on twitter. go to our facebook page. links to everything at lou dobbs.com. that's it for us tonight. thanks for being with us. ♪ ♪ know. >> i am banning mr. sterling for life. >> the ceo, brendan eich, has been force

republican fund raisers even some in the new jersey area with considering jumping ship from christie for jeb bush as the former florida governor looks at a bid. jeb is also getting some support from his brother. >> i hope jeb runs. and i think he would be a great president. i have no clue what's on his mind. we'll talk when he's ready. i notice he's moving around the country quite a bit. >> doing well in polls. >> yeah. that's fine. they don't mean anything. for him i can guarantee he's not looking at a poll to decide whether or not he wants to run. it's internal. he's checking his core. as he said publicly, i'm thinking about my family. and he knows full well what a run for the presidency can do on family. after all, he's seen his dad and brother run for president. so jeb, if you need advice, give me a call. >> okay. it is worth noting according to a new quinnipiac university poll, jeb easily leads the rest of the 2016 pack in his home state. that includes marco rubio who i think people are talking about as well. >> people are talking about marco as well. it's going to be interesting to see what
