john f. kennedy after george bush after the 9-11 attacks. they think they can run and win by running against trump. the interesting thing, if you look at the polls, the majority of democrats don't want biden to be their nominee. the majority of republicans want somebody else other than trump. looks like we're heading having another trump biden rematch. if you took them both out of the picture, huge advantage to the republicans. the republicans have an embarrassment of riches in terms of potential candidates. tim scott, ron desantis. mike pence, mike pompeo, nikki haley, glenn youngkin. the bench is a deep. the reason joe biden is president is because they couldn't find anybody else. they tried for an entire running searees. who is going to take his place? kamala harris? she's less popular than him. pete buttigieg that can't manage a train derailment? the future is bright for the republicans if we can get past this trump-biden battle. >> martha: neither side seems to want. may be what we're going to get. this is the independents wanting trump

they did not like john mccain, chris christie, jeb bush. republicans are weak because for the last 20 years the base believed barack obama and other democrats want to destroy the nation, and these other republicans did not say that, did not see that, did not believe that muslims were a terrorist threats, all the things they heard on fox. anything they could do to signal to the base that he was different, they saw that as an asset. it was this dance between him appealing to the base's fears and prejudices and encouraging them, giving them permission, and benefiting from it. all the people are totally flummoxed. they have never seen this before. they don't know what to do about it. >> absolutely. it is all true. ultimately, i think trump -- people just liked, whether they approved or disapproved of what he said about mccain, they just wanted trump to upset all the people who were already upset. he had done his job already. >> donald trump became an avatar for them. the avatar i give is tribal chief. he earned his way there. what is fascinatin

john mccain and george w. bush never got over the amoss city. barack obama and hillary clinton got extremely personal and they have never been close since even though they worked together for a short period of time. this is not unusual. a usual attack on ron desantis would be i respect him for what he has done but i'm the one with international experience. i'm the one that did the abraham accords. i'm the one that made nato pay i up to 10%. i'm the one that made sure nato wasn't invaded. i gave them weapons to defend themselves not mres. >> ainsley: energy independence. >> brian: ron at # 4 years old has done a lot. buff look at what i have done in four years and these are the same players. i would like to go back and finish the job. and he has been very nice to nikki haley. i think he has been deferential to mike pompeo and tim scott i can't imagine saying something bad about tim scott. with ron desantis, he sees a threat but i think his best offense as the frontrunner would be don't punch down. >> steve: here's the thing, brian, he has been hi
