maybe jim gilmore who ran one time before is one of them but i just don't see it.ow else to put a nicer bow on that one. you have to raise money. george pataki last won a race in 1998. jeb bush only won a race four years after that but he has a name and fundraising. people now run for president not to win, but they run to sort of promote themselves in a cause or a voice. i think that's what a lot of these people are doing. >> he's running for a cabinet position basely.ically. >> awesome to see you guys. thank you for your time. >>> coming up, which international mover and shaker is currently on trial for aggravated pimping? i'll tell you next. oh yea, that's coming down let's get some rocks, man. health can change in a minute. so cvs health is changing healthcare. making it more accessible and affordable with walk-in medical care, no appointments needed and most insurance accepted. minuteclinic. another innovation from cvs health. because health is everything.
