mr. bush: there are few that can tell that story the way i can. i advocated my views on moral issues. this will all sort out. in order for a conservative to win we have to unite the conservative cause not divide ourselves in spare parts, and persuade people that aren't as conservative. we have to get to 50. winning should be what this is about. john: that is jeff answering the new york times story on evangelicals. here is the question that arises out of these things. is -- is his biggest opponent some republicans, or is he beaten by his own self? mark: given his strength and fund-raising as a former conservative governor of florida, if he performs if people like his product, if you sells it well he can't be beat. i think right now it is his to lose if he performs. it is possible. i keep hearing it is possible republicans won't buy what he is saying. it is possible that dog won't even dog food. john: and the fish jump out of the tank. you and i were struck by those focus groups in new hampshire. they are unscientific. a dozen republicans in the ram

bush administration. mr. president, under ordinary circumstances this would have been an easy ask for the president to bring a person of this quality to the senate for confirmation. she had three votes supporting her in the judiciary committee from the republican side. i don't understand the objections of the others, but i respect whatever their reasoning. all that i am asking for, all the president is asking for, all the senate is asking for is a vote. a vote. bring her off the pages of the calendar before the senate for a vote. don't make it contingent on some bill or some political agreement in the future. let this woman who has led such an extraordinary life, have her chance to continue to serve the united states of america. that to me, is only fair and only just and would be in keeping with the traditions of

obama has been fighting mr. bush from day one. the reaction gets more and more negative with the passage of time. i think the sense in the country that things are going wrong overseas means that unlike in the 2012 election when generally, mr. romney did not focus much on foreign-policy here you will see national security as a major issue. probably as major as the 1980 election. who knows what will happen in the next 18 months, but i do not think it will be good. that will be a major issue. the question will be what do we do. either candidate, republican or democrat will have to come up with a viable answer. i don't think claiming credit for climate change as a security issue, which by the way is a major element of the current national security strategy. climate change and the environment. that will resonate with the american people when you see what is going on in the middle east and elsewhere. it just won't wash. i hope a democrat will oka's on that. >> the next question is from wayne mary. wayne: i am struck with the panel discu

and it might be hillary clinton or mr. bush in the future. but they are the folks who are really in charge of foreign policy. so netanyahu, i think, can always win points in congress. he was rl received here by -- he was well received here by congress. but the dynamic in which he has accelerated is one of division and you are already seeing in polls some erosion of the traditional support in this country for israel because there is a sense that netanyahu is meddling. >> congress and champion tweeter peter welch. thank you for your time. >>> and another hot story that has washington buzzing, the revelation thathillk may have -- hillary clinton may have broken the rules by using her private e-mail while secretary of state. she has released 55,000 pages of e-mails. but there are more we have not seen. she said she operated by quote, the letter and spirit of the rules. for more on this oh, so developing story, we have brian boyler senior editor at the new republican. brian, is this a big story? is this something that media should spend a lot of t

mr. bush is going to have to deal with that. we have had tremendous turnout for some new faces. came here over the summer and out of the 400 people that weren't there more than half had never been to a political event before in their lives. their were young people african-americans, hispanics folks who were democrats looking for something new. i think the republicans have something more to offers and things that were retread in the past. stuart: i am told you were not happy about our discussion about members of congress flying or not flying first class. what upset you? >> there are enough reasons not to like us that are real. that is not one of them. it is already against the rules. we can't do that. i have no idea what congressman gramm is trying to do other than grandstand and prepare for next election but it is already against the rules. if you see it is in first is for the same reason most people are which is we fly every single week and get bumped up like all business travelers do but it is against the rules already for us to spend taxpayer money on first class. stuart: wha

mr. bush has been criticized for his immigration position who think he supports amnesty.n for undocumented immigrants in the country now to find a way to keep them here. here's how he explaining standing tr for that position. >> don't abandon your core beliefs. you go persuade people as i've tried to do now about why i'm for higher standards and those that have been implementing them and have had a hard time dealing with this because there is political heat around it they'll have their chance to sort it out. the way i've sorted it out is i think you need to be genuine, i think you need to have a backbone. >> mr. bush says it's not that he thinks common core as it's con figured by the obama administration is the best way to go about good standards and argues because the president has attached grant money to local schools to get involved that has to be stopped. he was asked if he thought scott walker is a flip-flopper and he said yesterday well, he has acknowledged that he too, has changed his position on immigration. he said he supported a plan that would allow a path to c

. >> what about bush mr. bartlett? what about jeb bush? thought that he gave probably the most intelligent answer on immigration when he was being interviewed the other day on the platform because he connected to economics and he just seemed much more reasonable and open to it. your thoughts? >> i think jeb is looking ahead to the general election and doesn't want to lose if he gets the nomination, by being saddled with far right unpopular positions that are only popular among the tiny minority of people who control the republican party and control the tea party. and so he's trying to make electability his issue for the party, but unfortunately i think most of the members of the party don't care about that at all. they only care about purity and standing for principle no matter what. >> what do you make of the political news that hillary clinton has told her close advisers and they're saying to democratic donors she will enter the presidential race sooner than expected likely in april? your reaction? >> i think hillary is the inevitable ca
