marco rubio and bobby jindal trying to find a place in this. today is the first real day of the republican primary campaign. >> robert i'm just surprised there was legitimate suggestion that romney would throw his hat in for the third time because it was hard to find a republican who publicly said this was a good idea. romney has a closed door four-hour staff meeting in which advisers relayed a sobering reality. they supported romney and thought he would be the best president, but did not necessarily think he should run for president for the third time. did you hear of anybody who thought this was a good idea? >> if you looked at a lot of the outward signs, mitt romney's name was always at the top of those lists. granted, some of that has to do with name recognition. there was some outward facing signs that there were probably enough straws to grasp to do this. my sense is what really happened was, as you said behind closed doors, on telephone conversations, mitt romney just simply decided it wasn't there for him to do this time. i have no doubt he wanted to serve again. i have no doubt someone as highly successful as mitt romney is probably vex

robert, presidential elections are about the future, never about the past. in 2007, hillary clinton and mitt romney running for president. here is what other presidential candidates were doing. marcoida house speaker. ted cruz the solicitor general of the state of texas. scott walker, the county executive in milwaukee. elizabeth warren, simply a harvard professor. rand paul, an ophthalmologist. it is eight years away, and it is like, you know, fresh face. >> yeah. and elections as you said, are about the future and when you have a lineup that includes the bush/clinton/romney, it is like -- >> even a paul. i mean, let's not forget paul. >> back to the future. you have this clamoring on both sides frankly on either end for something new. and probably not going to get that on the democratic side but certainly on -- >> you guys successfully prosecuted the we're fresh in 2007 clintons are part of the past. hillary clinton has a -- how does she not get sucked into this vortex. romney created this story line now of oh my god it is romney huckabee, bush it is clinton. like she gets sucked into that vortex. how does she avoid it? >> i don't think democrats believe the nostalgia for clinton

marco rubio, rand paul. let's bring in lisa booth and robert zimmerman. lease sarks i want to start with you. an important list of big names here. who benefits the most from this retreat from romney? >> well if you look at just a donor perspective, it's jeb bush and chris christie they're looking at a lot of the same donors and probably a lot of the same staff that would potentially want to go work for romney, would also be interested in working for jeb bush and chris psychiatrist stay. here is what i think is good for the republican party. as much as i like mitt romney i think he's a great guy, he loves his country. the problem is he wasn't relatable to americans in 2012. what i think is we need a candidate, more relatable to americans. here is the problem that democrats are going to have. i think hillary clinton has the same problem that mitt romney had with americans just not seeing them as relatable. hillary clinton is someone who has lived in a rarified world since she was first lady of arkansas. this is someone who told the car dealers association she hasn't driven a car in 18 years. th
