the second tier is a crowded field including ted cruz ben carson rand paul chris christie, mike huckabee and several others. by announcing first ted cruz is making a ploy both for media attention and for campaign donations, and that seems to be successful. what's interesting about the announcement is he's decided to make it at liberty university an evangelical college started by the late jerry falwell. it shows his intention to promote the fundamentalist christian vote. to cobble together what he considers to be a coalition of fiscal conservatives, evangelicals and libertarians. >> he's making it clear i guess what his base as much as we muff forward in this election, after they get the party nomination, he's going to have to broaden himself at some point. you mentioned the tea party of whom cruz is a favorite. that group has been at odds at times over the past few years with establishment gop candidates. are these two factions getting along better these days or could we see some public clashes in this next year? >> ted santa cruz taking a risk trying to establish himself as the anti-est

one of the untold stories of jeb bush's probable run for president as well as chris christie's probable run for president, ted to run for president, marco rubio probably run for president, of all these players there is one candidate with an infrastructure, campaign financing infrastructure campaign infrastructure that is really good and that is jeb bush. i will tell you is this. this is usual leaving case. this is why mitt romney has an analyst jeb bush, what i hear from people. when he did his little study about whether to get into this race he looked back and said i can't beat this. he came out said he might run, established is network which is already in place like the clintons 7 network in place and he is likely likely to run the table i think. barring a midwestern governor coming up and seizing some sort of attraction, getting some money i don't know how you beat this type of juggernaut. jeb bush could do something stupid say something dumb. 49% of the people won't vote for me because they are on food stamps or whatever. when you have that, people forget infrastructure matters. barack obama had an amazin

carson or especially chris christie. marco rubio, tedspecially marco rubio and chris christie. it's a pretty small number across the country. early, it shows room for growth. the jeb bush number was smaller than i thought it would be as well. people should know him. >> that's a good point that jeff raises sort of not to say that we live in a bubble. in political journalism. but we talk so much -- >> okay. i am saying that sorry. we talk so much about scott walker walker. and you look at the numbers and most americans have no idea who scott walker is. >> which is good and bad for him, he can define himself. >> let's dig deeper we asked favorable and unfavorable opinion of the republican candidates. most americans say they don't know enough to form an opinion. look as you go down 55 marco rubio, 40 rand paul 35. you get down into the 29%, a little bit lower. but it shows number one, they still have a lot of time to introduce themselves. and number two, to your point about hillary clinton. about 99% of people think they know who she is her

we have jeb bush, marco rubio, scott walker, chris christie, rick perry bobby jindal, carly fiorina, john kasich, mike huckabee, ted cruz rand paul, mike pence, rick santorum, ben carson. and probably a handful of others who may be watching right now saying, i'm thinking about doing that, too. it's what i love about the political process. we just don't know who it will be and why politics are so complicated but really so simple, too. about the only thing we can say for sure right now is we just don't know. and that's what keeps me so, so interested. you can find my take every day on my facebook page and at foxnews.com foxnews.com. >>> coming up on "the real story" today tragic, tragic news about that little boy, the death of that boy shot and killed by a cleveland police officer. but guess what? who the city says is to blame for tamaritamir rice's death. >>> and more about jihadii john more on his past ties to alleged jihadists. we'll ask the family of steven sotloff, one of the american beheaded by isis, what they think we need to do to actually finally catch that guy. huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen p
