and chris christie and jeb bush is last. that's sort of the problem. if his name was jeb cillizza, i think we would say that guy is way too moderate to get elected. he's a bush and so we say, oh, well he's the front runner. if you look at his positioning -- it's not the whole republican party but it's not 2% of the republican party either. on things like common core and immigration, he's not close to where a ted cruz, for example, is and he's not even all that close to where scott walker frankly is. >> or marco rubio. much more conservative. >>> i'm going to throw this out there and it's sad that i'm going to say this. bob corker admitted what u.s. senator hasn't thought about running for president. i'm sorry, every four years there to be should be a tennessee republican thinking about it. it's always been that way. isn't there always a tennessee republican. and yet just with his description just now about the way primary politics works in the republican party, bob corker, is he too much of a guy who tries to get stuff done i

and jeb bush is a veryfr÷exampl. establishment candidate right now is jeb bush and yet his poll numbers are terrible in the republican party. he's not a terribly popular figure in his party. and there's obvious there isn't as great a gap where the establishment thinks is mow electable and who we might agree is electable and might make a good president but the republican electorate right now not rallying around jeb bush at all. >> rose: because. >> i think part of it goes to some of this. >> well i think for most they don't know who he is and they just know his name is bush. >> rose: y identify him that way. >> and that says among other things establishment which is not where a big part of the republican party reflected in this race is not loving the establishment of the republican party. >> rose: mitch mcconnell won his primary and lindsay graham won his primary. >> lindsay graham did a lot of work to try to deestablishment defy himself and make him something. he was the opposite of eric cantor. he saw the problem co

jeb bush is a good example of this. the establishment candidate now is jeb bush. yet his poll numbers are terrible. he is not a popular figure in his party. there is never been as great a gap between the establishment who thinks is most electable, might make a good president, but the republican electorate has not rallied around jeb bush at all. >> is it because he's a moderate. >> it goes to this. >> they think he knows who he is. his name is bush. >> that is his establishment. it is not loving an establishment republican. >> lindsey graham won his primary. >> by attending to these problems. lindsey graham does a lot of work to try to re-establishmentify himself. >> when you look at the republican party today, what they are going through right now, is it like bill clinton in 1992? >> he was for the death penalty, right to work, talk about restrictions on abortion. he had issue positions that were so much more out of step with democratic party, no one could imagine that he could be nominated. >> what did he do? >> he found a way to convince most of the people in th

is it jeb bush? >> jeb bush appeals to a lot of people. he has been talking more about immigration. he has been more moderate on some issues. previs -- republicans are saying there isn't any division or trying to spin. you have rand paul who is a lot less hawkish on foreign policy than many members in the policy. you have somebody like jeb bush who promoted the common core that are u upsetting. republican strug alling not only to find the candidate but find out where they are. democrats are more organized when usually they're not. >> there is, of course, the leadership election. what good for the republican party could come out of that? >> that's a great question. i mean, he was saying there aren't any in the party. a top leader in the party was tossed out of congress for trying to straddle the line of immigration. which is the one issue that matters most to the voters. that's a big problem. i'm not sure a lot of good comes out if a tea party member wins the position on thursday. >> one of the stories i continue -- the story i think was lost in the whole cantor thing. the polling. n

one probably who may have been particularly startled by cantor's loss on tuesday is jeb bush.rnor is right now mulling a presidential bid in 2016 but will the grassroots revolt that took cantor down give bush pause about going through with it. not just that bush supports comprehensive immigration reform he's also one of the most vocal republican champions of the common core education standards which the conservative base is now rebelling against. in many ways bush represents s establishment the same way that cantor does, are voters sending a message to jeb bush about what he might face if he runs in 2016. in the late '90s there was this mood it seemed in the republican party in the late '90s of, you know, bill clinton has sort of outcompassioned us, we need to move to the middle and co-op and working for clinton. >> we'll have compassionate conservatives. there was an appetite in the party for what he represented at that time. i'm not seeing that right now when i look at jeb bush and where the republican party is. >> i'm seeing it in the establishment. i'm seeing an appetite n

one of the most interesting speeches i've seen recently, a speech by jeb bush in new york city a few ago, he spoke about the fact there's a large number of people stuck at the bottom and he's trying to figure out how to address that. the question is, how do you address that in a republican way that republicans can accept in a primary. >> marco rubio tried to touch on this, rick santorum talked about the blue collar approach. listen to the president, he's out in minneapolis at the end of the week, he spent two days out there, in part to raise money but good for him to get out of the bubble and talk to some real people. the president is walking a delicate line. to amy's point, people don't buy it. he's trying to convince people things aren't as bad as you think. >> what we do is stay focused on what matters, and chip away at it and try to make progress. people have health care. the economy has gotten a lot better. what i do worry about is that right now, we've got a republican party that seems to only care about saying no to me. >> there are so many things in that, that are delicious i

jeb bush is a want, serious policy guy, position the party well forethe republican nomination.ther on immigration and common core some other issues are disqualifying republican primary. i hope he tests it. >> schieffer: you probably know more about this, my sense is even those within the bush family don't know if he's going to run or not. >> his mother has an opinion on that. >> i just see so many guys, exactly as ike earl said, full field of people -- you haven't fully -- including some in creaking guys like rand paul who showing up at berkeley getting young people who are not republicans to come in, he talks to them about national security and feeling about foreign policy. somebody told me that republican talker that he's the only -- rand paul is only guy he's seen who is actually growing the base a bit. i don't know if that is true. it's anecdotally correct. the republicans will have great war, i must say i agree with michael the republicans in debate are ten guys, maybe some women up there, plus chris christie. autos going to make sure you enjoy that debate. it's going to b

jeb bush, i hear, is seriously considering it. he's got a lot of reasons not to do it, too.e idea that was once the deep bench of the republican party for 2016, they are now going to have to are reare krut people who may be reluctant or may have lost says something about the structure of the party now. >> we don't know where investigations go. >> right. >> this has had to be a big blow to the republican party. >> i don't know what the party is right now. there are factions that like people. these moderate people in the middle or statewide candidates to go down. there are parts of the republican party that are just happy to see these people in trouble. here is the problem. even while it's unresolveded it allowses your likely opponents to start scripting out attack ads, unanswered questions. the attack ads may start out being something obscure in a republican party. they rapidly become things that democrats pick up and say, well, even the republicans are saying this is a bad thing. >> right. >> you may want to move on and think it's nothing to do with me. while it's unresolved

if you're jeb bush, there's parts of me thinking jeb bush, he may say, you know what, i'm willing to have the fight and take the arrows because i want to rip the band-aid off and have this massive debate. there's part of jeb that i think would think about going in that direction. but it certainly makes 2016 more complicated. >> and briefly, tom davis, what about lindsay graham? he supports immigration reform. he won his primary in south carolina last night. >> this is more complex than just immigration reform. lindsay went back to south carolina every weekend. people would see him at picnics and at the fairs. eric's around the country helping other republicans. and he's viewed as part of the leadership, and leadership today is the establishment. and people are mad at the establishment. >> tom davis, jackie, luke, chuck, thank you all so much. chuck's morning interview on "the daily rundown" with david brat, brat learned a lesson for the rest of his political career, all policy issues, domestic and foreign, are now on the table. >> let me ask you about something, a foreign policy quest

kiki, someone else who wants to expand the republican party maybe to his peril is jeb bush.w you probably appreciate his position on immigration, but as a hillary supporter, aren't republicans like him who are open to immigration reform and pushing it, kind of your worst nightmare? >> well, not necessarily. now, i'm from south texas, so live looked at immigration and heard about immigration issues my entire life. and the fact of the matter is that as the map moves forward from the cycle of '14 to '16, to'18, the makeup, 2, 3, 4 cycles into redistricting of these districts will change dramatically. the fact you may have a republican running for president that believes in immigration, i say bring that on. that's good for the country because there's also going to be a right way and a wrong way to do immigration and that's going to be what the debate is. i'd love to have immigration in the debate. >> but, tim, jeb bush may never make it through the republican primary. and there are many republicans who are actually concerned about what happened last night. listen to congressman

isn't it the case that there is still a place for them in potentially a jeb bush administration? well, i've said before, it's like watching a zombie movie. you just can't get rid of these people. and there's war in the air and they come rushing back out to that smell of blood and they want more. they're like vampires. they cannot be dispatched. and the media, i think, you know, our network, everybody putting them on as experts and doesn't really hold them accountable for some of the things they've said in the past. they made statements that were either lies or just flat-out false assertions for years about iraq. so what they have to say now should bear no credibility. and you're right. i think some republicans would, you know, whether it's marco rubio or jeb bush or others who might run for president, would embrace some of these people. certainly the neo-cons are like parasites who would try to find a warm body like a leech to hook on to and start drawing blood out of that person. so i think this is a problem for the republican party. they had a hard time in 2008 shaking the iraq

jeb bush, marco rubio and rand paul, scott walker and chris kroift. and john ka sek.ike huckabee and bobby ginnedal and ted cruz and paul ryan. you say three counted out altogether. >> in that he mentions mitt romney thrown around. why don't you give it a third try. with him and jeb bush and mike huckabee they haven't been in elected politics and not indicated they want to run. older guys who have been around for a while. dismiss them out of hand unless they actively say i am interested in the issues that are coming up in the late obama term. >> generally two races is enough for most candidates. you think mitt romney has a third race in him. >> he hasn't indicated and there are younger and newer folks in the republican who are viable. and you can so a comprehensive list. governors and i didn't see rick perry on the list and he may run again and you have rand paul and paul ryan and rubio. rubio is making the best of the most affirmative steps for running for president. >> you say though, that it might be early to pick candidates. the party has a bigger job. >> instead

and think about those two compared to jeb bush and -- >> but for jeb bush, that's the challenge. you have to beat those guys. >> what do you think about that? we've heard people go back and forth about whether they think jeb bush will run. what do you think the odds are at this point? >> you know, i think the -- i think politics is a vacuum and there is a vacuum of the kind of leadership that jeb bush is talking about. there's a vacuum in the electability space of the republican party. i think a lot of people know that. so there's going to be a lot of pressure on him to get in. i don't know if he really wants to. >> it seems like he wants to. >> if i had to -- >> what about another bush? >> if i had to bet, i would say he gets in, but i'm in the minority of people that -- >> bush versus clinton? >> very good. >> do you think chris christie runs, too? >> he'll run, if he can. >> i think if jeb bush gets in, that narrows the window for christie. i think he's well along on attemptsing i think a realistic look at what's happened to him tells you that he's taken on a lot of water beca

nearly half of registered voters think jeb bush and hillary clinton would represent return to policies of the past if they were president. 30% disagree saying jeb bush would provide new ideas, hillary clinton did better with 42% saying she has the right new ideas for america. >>> existing home sales posted their biggest gain in almost three years last month. sales of previously owned homes jumped in may, the largest monthly increase since august of 2011. even so, sales are still down from may of last year. prices are up. the median price of a home sold in may was about $213,000. the rise many boomerang buy serz under way. a new program is fuelling that movement. these are the homeowners who lost their homes to foreclosure during the recession but are looking to buy now that the economy is turning around. one realtor says 20% of his clients fall into that category. many are using a government-sponsored fha program to do it. the back to work program is for borrowers who lost money but they have now recovered. it gives them a loan with 3.5% down and a competitive rate. >> it's mine. i can

thinking jeb bush may not run. ristie think it is the donors are his path to the nomination. romney is coy on the sidelines, chuckling, waiting and watching the scene. if jeb doesn't run and chris christie doesn't run, romney gets encouragement to do so. >> let's talk money and reality here. romney has all the money he'll need to run for president. he has the mormon coalition, the network. he has the assessment banker crowd. he knows the equity people. he can raise all the money he needs. he can run a long campaign once he gets in it. he can win late, have little guys challenge him. he can be gulliver and they can be little pugss. in the long run he can outspend them. isn't it in his interest to let it play out for six months? joy, let it play out until it's desperate, until jeb doesn't run, chris christie doesn't get out of the p.r. problems and legal messes. the party will beg him to come or the elements with the money will. >> first of all, he'll be disappointed. everything i hear is that jeb is likely or gearing

if jeb bush gets in or christie, somebody will claim the right of center mantal. it will be an establishment track and a more conservative track. >> thank you so much for being with us. when we return, we will talk to former u.s. ambassador john negroponte. we will be right back. ♪ >> welcome back. as radical islamist militant surge in iraq, president obama says no options are off the table. we are joined by john negroponte. thank you for being with us, mr. ambassador. you have said we should consider all requests malaki might make. should some sort of air attack be imminent? >> some help should be provided. airstrikes or drone attacks would be appropriate. and soon. as quickly as possible. every hour, every day, time is lost. hopefully that decision will be forthcoming. as far as the threat to baghdad, this force is going to meet push back from the iraq he armed forces. they will come up against better troops and a less friendly environment. i don't think baghdad is under imminent threat. still, it is an alarming situation. >> your colleague says no amount of u.s

most candidates are against it but jeb bush is a staunch advocate. who is right?both sides are right and neither side is right. this is not a terrible curriculum but not revolutionary. >> governor jindal's rejecting common core this week is an indication he is running for president. such breathtaking hypocrisy in that he was one of the driving forces among other governors to get the common core. so, he backs out of it just because once obama favored the common core, then republicans had to flee it in order to pander to the ultra right wing of the party. >> some of the standards don't work but the idea of having common standards, isn't that a good idea? wasn't that part of the problem before? >> it was a good conservative idea at one time. >> there was an idea a few years ago that the real problem with the school systems with that we needed tough accountability and really high standards. when you look at what has happened with education reform, a lot of those ideas haven't panned out. it is culturally fine to try to get a common set of ideas. given a diverse countr

so a candidate who might be able it's a good jeb bush he might not be able to win the primaries and i do think that in this year i was at the republican leadership conference of speak in a couple of months ago and i noticed a new awareness pick if you will the most conservative candidate who can win so not pick the most conservative candidate period where pick the most conservative candidate when you implies that those electable i don't know because i think hillary would be a very formidable candidate she's the historic first woman running bomb and the democrats in my book and film the conservative side of the issues. barack so i think a lot of america as a whole she's more like bill so they're going to get bill or e but if you from agree build an america did very well in the ninety's i think that being said hillary ideologically is probably closer to obama than she is to the bill you think she was an effect of secretary of state i think that she was an effective secretary of state but she was an effective sekret of state under a bad leader so in other words other words as an effectiv
