he's said from the start that he doesn't want a super pac and doens't have one. one.his rationale is that he wants to raise his money from individual and small contributions.it would make him beholden to no one if he gets elected.

these super pacs are not going after that. they are going after the middling part of the pack. he's spending money against rubio and kasich. could it mean that none of these guys are able to break out? >> yeah. i think jeb bush has a good record in florida. he still could break out. but if he only succeeds, if he doesn't break out and only succeeds in having a super pac destroy the other potential contenders to trump, i think it would be a great disservice to the country. i agree. john kasich is better than his rhetoric and you might see that going forward. he actually has a very good story to say to conservative voters. he hasn't spent a lot of time telling it yet. >> what about governor christie taking offense on the attacks, claiming that they are common core attacks and that he wrote a check to planned parenthood. those attacks do begin to hit christie a little bit. >> i guess it's a mixed story. on the planned parenthood thing, christie -- this is not an easy political decision for a poll significance in new jersey. he vetoed it again and again and got legislators to uphol

of bernie sanders and most recently donald trump are running with the support of super pacs this timend that's changed everything. that's changed the way they've gotten in the race, raised money and the way money is being spent. through mid-december, we saw more than 40% more ads on tv than at the last cycle and eight out of ten were by outside groups. >> ifill: as lisa pointed out, it's not biographical. it's not let me tell you who i am anymore. >> one of the things i think we're seeing in the republican contest is because it is so incredibly competitive and it's really been focused on issues about terrorism and i.s.i.s. that these issues have really come to the foreign advertising much sooner than you see at this point in a campaign. >> ifill: so who benefits so far, especially in the crowded republican field for this approach? for whom is this approach res resonating? >> i think there is a big question about whether the super pac is going to be the panacea some thought in this election. we already saw scott walker and rick perry forced out even though they had millions of dollars

particularly donors to jeb bush's super pac, right to rise.se raised more than $100 million last year on the belief that a jeb bush candidacy was a safe bet. but as both "the new york times" and politico report today, as bush continues to flounder on the campaign trail, backers are placing some of the blame on right to rise and its inability to sell their candidate. at issue, concern over spending. things like this, a video mailer that plays a 50-minute jeb bush documentary sent to supporters and potential donors. and as politico reports, multiple advisers to the right to rise super pac concede privately that the $40 million spent on positive ads aimed at telling bush's story yielded no tangible dividends. tens of millions of dollars spent, all meant to get jeb bush elected president. he currently is polling on average at around 5%. as one bush supporter told politico, you might as well light all of this money on fire. meanwhile, in michigan lawmakers have approved tens of millions of dollars in emergency funds to help address the crisis in fl

and the truth is, my democratic and almost all republican components -- opponents set up a super pac. to my mind, someone that does not represent the billionaire class, does not represent corporate america, i decided that i was not going to establish a super pac. i was not going to ask them for millions of dollars in money. but then, that is a very lovely statement but it doesn't bring in any money. how do you do it? the old-fashioned way. we reached out to the working class and middle class families of this country. i would not have dreamed we could do this. in the last nine months, we have received 2.5 million individual contributions. that is more than any candidate in the history of the united states of america up to this point in a campaign. and at a time when candidates having nightmares come out with $5 million or $10 million. our average contribution is $27. but what all of that means is that we have already accomplished something. we have shown the american people that despite this disastrous citizens united supreme court decision and despite all of the super pac's, one can s

bush, rubio, and kasich super pacs all hitting christie.s honing in on what many republicans seem to think will be the issue for them, terror and fear of another terror attack. >> serious times require serious leadership. the last seven years under president obama have taught us that problems do not take care of themselves. in the absence of american leadership. the united states should not delay leading a global coalition to take out isis with overwhelming force. >> so that's jeb reading the polls, knowing that terrorism is now the number one issue among republicans. of course his super pac is hitting the other governors in new hampshire. and there's the front-runner. this is the first tv ad everybody heard about this morning. donald trump who has a rally tonight in massachusetts, in lowell. he didn't spend a single dollar on tv ads in 2016. but now he's doing $2 million a week in iowa and new hampshire. he released his first ad today and the terror theme and front and center. >> the politicians can pretend it's something else, but donald

to get up to what jeb bush has spent, you have to combine the campaign spending and super pac spending from hillary clinton, includes bernie sanders, plus chris christie, plus john kasich, plus ted cruz plus donald trump before you get up to the stratosphere where jeb bush is alone. look at jeb bush. the only person spending anywhere near what jeb bush has spent and he's not really anywhere near it is marco rubio. combined, they have spent $91 million on ads so far. contrast that with what ted cruz and donald trump have spent combined, which is about $8 million all together, i mean, jeb bush and marco rubio are considerably behind ted cruz and donald trump in the polls. but they are outspending ted cruz and donald trump by an 11-1 ratio. which is nuts. that is absolutely nuts. and the people are winning -- spend $8 million collectively. that's not even what hillary clinton has spent. anyway. it's yet further evidence that money just doesn't work the way it used to in this year's presidential campaigning. at least on the republican side it doesn't. and at least it doesn't work the way i

trump call esuper pac money, dirty money. why are you starting up a trump super pac? >> we just started this super pac. went up on the air this week. the fact if you look at all of the other candidates, they all have super pacs spending millions of dollars and we want to level the playing field. this is grassroots, donors coming together. donald trump hasn't told us to shut it down and eventually going into the general election, we don't want to give hillary clinton that advantage. we want it to be a level playing field and we are going to get behind him and support him. we're independent -- completely free and independent of the campaign anyway. so -- we're not operating with the campaign. we're doing this on our own. >> how would you respond to charges that donald trump says things that are racist, and he frightens many minority groups? ho would you defend donald trump? >> carol, listen, i don't know everything donald trump has said. what i do know is that he has the business sense we need in washington right now, and that people are lining up across the country. th

rubio attacking chris christie, a super pac for him.s super pac attacking rubio from the democratic side. what do you think of it? >> first of all, i want to disagree with s.e. cupp on one thing. this is not a small group of people anymore. if you add up donald trump, carly fiorina, ted cruz, the anti-establishment group of candidates running right now, they're over 60%. 60% of the republican party wants them, right? so i would argue this is no longer a small portion. and the rest of the field, the establishment field is really fighting for second or third place. and it doesn't bode well for them at all. so i don't know, s.e., i hate to argue with you, but i think given the poll numbers -- >> let me just answer that. the thing -- the thing we don't talk about enough is the thing people are talking about is registered republican voters who answer phone calls from pollsters on land lines. it's a very self-selecting group of people that we have decided are determining the front-runners of these elections. and i just don't think it's an acc
