joining us now is mark caputo, senior writer for politico who before that was a long-time "miami herald" political writer. mr. caputo, it's really nice to have you here. thanks for being here. >> thanks. i thought my dad is here. he's mr. caputo. >> fair enough. you can call me anything you want. i answer to hey you on a regular occasion. let me ask you that question i guess broadly and also specifically about jeb bush. is perception reality for a candidate like this? is the perception he's dying as good as him being dead? >> well, he's certainly getting there. it's like that scene in monty python's "holy grail" where the old man says "not dead yet" and somebody finally clubs him and kills him. jeb bush is -- he's heading in that territory. there is one group of people who think jeb bush still has a lot of life in him and that's the few people in the jeb bush campaign who are pretty well paid to push that message. but otherwise you're still finding generally across the board this really rare uniform opinion whether it's left, right, or center that he did himself no favors. and there's a
