by jeb bush. now, one thing you would expect for something like that in this day and age is that people would start photoshopping that because it's really easy to photoshop something that has no pictures, no background, it's just plain white text on a colored background. you're basically begging for people to photoshop it. that's why you might have seen these anti-jeb bush pranks messing with the billboard. instead of saying donald trump is unhinged one person changed the jeb bush quote to "has anyone seen my turtle?" somebody else changed -- i'm sorry about this one. somebody else changed it to this. uh -- yeah. and you might expect people sort of profanely pranking a candidate like that for having put up a billboard like this. what you would not expect is for jeb bush's own donors, the people who are not just supporting him but who are putting money where their mouths are and who are trying to pay for him to become president, their donors would also do this sort of thing. apparently, the way jeb

in this case, jeb bush.hink that there's some truth to that, but there's also a line -- there's an argument to be made that if from the very beginning right to rise had been running what they call contrast ads, essentially attack ads, against donald trump, if from the very beginning jeb bush had been contrasting himself, taking on donald trump, you could see at this point the race being a two-way race. you could see it being jeb versus trump already. right? because you would see it as he's the establishment standard bearer and trump is the other guy. instead u have the establishment standard bearer, the guy who thinks he's supposed to be, you know, taking on every other establishment candidate including his former protege, including people who the donors who gave money to his superpac really like as a second choice. >> mckay -- >> this is kind of the argument. >> but it's business. you know what i mean? like, who -- like, you don't -- his former protege. we're in a campaign here. there's no -- >> okay. >> al

and if i'm the jeb bush campaign, what really worries me is marco rubio. e bush might be holding out for his performance in south carolina, if rubio's ahead of him in south carolina or new hampshire, he'll be placed in a top or a more solid position than jeb bush. and i think that's the real big danger of waiting out to south carolina. and as steve also mentioned, south carolina is going to this place where the establishment would always end up winning, that it's the decider of the race. that was all thrown out when newt gingrich won the contest four years ago. you might say that was due to some of mitt romney's flaws in south. still, that has to give people pause that this is really the firewall to be able to win a republican presidential nomination. >> thank you, mark. by the way, katy, you look great on this conversation. i want to come back to you in a second, but i want to go quickly to chris jansing. chris, what are we hearing from the trump campaign with iowa and new hampshire just around the corner? >> reporter: they think that they won the debate l

today the jeb bush campaign started handing out these glossy 47-page books about jeb bush. they're titled "jeb's plan for america." it's like a full-on book, glossy magazine all about jeb bush. meet jeb. it's like a big biography and his whole campaign plan. this is an expensive thing to make. that said, nothing compared to this, which the jeb bush campaign sent out earlier this week. these apparently arrived in people's mailboxes in new hampshire by fedex overnight mail, which itself is a great way to burn money on shipping. and what these fedex overnight packages contained is a jeb bush video. and, now he, in campaigns past, it used to be a big deal -- it used to be a big spending showoff expense for a campaign to send out a video to voters in the early states. but what that meant when people used to send out a video, they would send out dvds, disks. what jeb bush has actually done is he's mailed out not copies of videos that people can play on their home machines or computers. they haven't mailed out dvds or disks. they have actually mailed out the machine. what jeb bush

at this point, it doesn't hurt jeb bush. pite of the establishment victory, the bush brand has some loyalty. if the establishment panics and thinks we can't have donald trump or ted cruz, it might be chamber of commerce types who are looking for a safe place to go. the bush plan and the backing of barbara bush and 43 may help them close strong. john: at this point, and negatives of the bush name are firmly baked into the cake, right? if people are not going to vote because they don't like that he is a bush, those people are not voting for bush ever. those still available to him, that might not be a bad thing. mark: i want to see 43 all in taking down donald trump. john: 43 and his mom. coming up, a prisoner's dilemma for the establishment candidates. we will talk to about that and show you some video after this. ♪ ♪ mark: in game theory, it is called the prisoner's dilemma, in which individuals are torn between the greater good and trying to save themselves individually. that is the exact situation the four establishment pres

but jeb bush, once again make way for jeb bush. jeb bush in iowa right now is minus 23 in terms of his favorable versus his unfavorable numbers. minus 23. one of these kids is not like the others. the gallup organization has stepped away from straight up horse-race polling this year. but even the gallup organization was so shocked about what has been happening to jeb bush and his numbers that they did basically a sort of special report, a special polling report on how bad jeb bush's campaign is, how jeb bush's campaign appears to be working backwards. these are jeb bush's favorable and unfavorable numbers over of the course of the campaign. this is basically since he started running this past summer. the line up at the top that's vaguely going down that's his favorable numbers. the line at the bottom that is going up that's his unfavorable numbers. and you will notice as we get close to now that they have recently crossed, which means his unfavorables are higher than his favorables, and that is a fatal disease for politicians. and

jeb bush last night, he said he was missing donald trump as a joke. at some point, it seemed like he was. he did not have trump to spar with to be at the center of attention. i think he was almost poorly served by that fact. marco rubio did well as he usually does. a smooth talker and command of foreign policy issues. he did not have a standout moment like he could have given donald trump's absence. >> jeremy, you mentioned jeb bush. he said he missed trump, but he seemed energized. trump labelled him and low energy. he seemed more relaxed. he was joking. is it too little too late to see this passion for his campaign? >> that's the question, of course, right? i think that donald trump has kind of been able to define jeb bush very early in the campaign as low energy. you know, it is interesting, it is not what voters come away with when they meet jeb bush in person for the first time. a lot of voters who attend jeb bush town hall meetings where he has 150 or 200 people in the room. a lot of times people come away saying i didn't expect so much out of h

jeb bush. and i think for jeb bush, this was his wonderful life moment, a chance to see what it would be like without jeb bush. we saw an emergence of jeb bush and a stronger performance that we have not seen in prior debates in the absence of donald trump and with, this i think jeb bush may score a couple of points, not necessarily in iowa where he hasn't concentrated as much of his energy but more so in the state of new hampshire, and with this, it may be may be points that bush scored tonight, it may keep him in the game a little longer. >> i think you're right. i think perhaps we lost some theatrics tonight's, and i think the iowa voters gained, the other candidates and could make an informed opinion. rhetta, carl, and my friend craig patrick, we appreciate you so much. >> thank you, bob. >> thank you. >> we do have breaking news from orange county. the search is on after a machine is shot in his home. it happened this evening on 48th and hanes circle. suspected shooter walked up to the hom

jeb bush and marco rubio have to win their own state. it makes it an iron cage competition between them. if donald trump, ted cruz or some other candidate is still strong, that candidate winning florida would be a devastating blow to either jeb bush or marco rubio. john kasich's ohio can basically be something he has. he sees the convention coming and he might want to just hang in there, when the state, the delegates in ohio and become a broker at the convention. host: does governor john kasich have access to the leverage in hio? guest: he does. he is on a very tight state party. his people run the state party. it is a good state organization, he won reelection in 2014 with more than 60% of the vote, so he controls ohio nd the levers in ways that neither jeb bush nor marco rubio can control florida, for example. host: under this scenario, is there a broker convention? guest: they will never be a broker convention because there are no brokers left in the republican party. truth is, the way structures have evolved is that this will not be
