be today, if she can t do both, president and grandmother. if you ask her, i think she would say grand mother. but i have found it best not to discuss that issue. joining us now is joe concho who to the website media it. she says she s undecided on running. here s some anonymous quotes to prove it. why would she announce now? be a media perspective, she doesn t need branding. she s not going to have any trouble raising money. the news can t seem to stop talking about the former secretary or state. it is 37 months until the election and it already feels oik- time s awasting. it s an easy story to tell, we re checking off boxes right now. first an african-american president, check, first female president, check. then the first latino president, next to the first gay president as well.
according to a new poll, the president and the front -20% of the people are you re saying that ted cruz is, he wants this coverage, he s making it about him. and he says it s not about me, it s about the issue. was it almost 20, 21 hours, standing there, does he have a family i would not, could not sam i am. yes, he has a family and he s hitting all of the sunday shows, and he is out there, wants to be out there. and as kirsten pointed out, is the face, is becoming the face of this. what did ted cruz say during that filibuster. oh, green eggs and ham. he was reading the story to his kids watching at home. he talked for 21 more hours, with very strong criticism of obamacare. but we re going to skip over all that because it sounds kind of
sta disastrous politically, dart rouse practically and doesn t have any upside for him. jim garrity, contributing editor at national view, and kirsten powers, a fox contributor. much of the coverage is focused on this belt way media circus and ted cruz. the impact on premiums, subsidies, jobs, the federal poverty level all have been eclipsed by ted cruz on the floor reading dr. seuss s green eggs and ham and the tenor of the coverage this week has been much lighter. take this gq october issue for example, ted cruz, the distinguished whacko bird from texas.
silly. the reason that got so much skeptical coverage is not so much what he said during the 21 hours, because it was seen as a stunt because in the end, he was not going to stop the bill and he got only 18 other republicans. there is this disconnect between cruz saying i don t want this to be about me i want it to be about the issue. he wants this to be about him, he is raising his profile. he s tearing a page out of rand paul s book and trying to get the same type of attention. i don t think that he did as good a job as rand paul did in that filibuster. i think that was a good filibuster and worth why would, he s raising his profile, he wants to be a leader in the face of the republican party. a lot of this is not exactly comparable, a lot of this has to do with the fact that the republican party is so split
media source here. 10% said they trusted fox, 2% said they trusted msnbc. let s see if we re talking about ted cruz like many other shows on television. rush limbaugh took issue with the press coverage. what is utterly maddening about all of these reports, is what do they write about all day long, they write about the horserace, they write about this person, they write like they re hollywood gossip columnists. a r a lot of the attacks have been anonymous, which i think is not necessary. he said it distrablcts from wha really matters. i don t think it s accidental that ted cruz is going in that direction. i think we also have to keep in mind that this is someone who will be running for president in 2016.
