battling it out, something you ve said for a long time. i ve bp sayi ibeen saying it to be a cruz race. trump is kind of plateauing a bit. as jeb bush and kasich and others fall away, a lot will go to rubio and the outsiders will go do cruz. there s a lot of momentum there. it s interest wing where they a hitting each other. i think the immigration attack may have a lot more weight in the republican primary than the national security attack. rubio has had some issues when it comes to immigration. something that people have hit him on before. when it comes to national security, seem like that s a pretty tough sale the make going against ted cruz going on national security. do people consider it just sort of a low blow? among the people paying attention in the electorate right now, it will be a low blow. no one thinks that ted cruz is soft on national defense. if you remember in the fox
you mentioned, it discusses the new immigration attack, that it is too pricey. you will have some who are opposed to immigration reform. and they say they re in a race with proponents to frame the debate around costs, betting they can kill the bill by capitalizing on anxiety over budget deficits. high unemployment, government overreach, obamacare and the staying power of entitlement programs. you re mentioned as being caught flat footed when these arguments had come up prior to but you re ready now. that s right. thanks so much for having me. actually, i don t think it is much of a race. i think the politico story overstated the strength of the, of our opponents side on this issue. they have really just, i think, shown that they are operating from scare tactics and really operating off the old play book. we ve shown convincingly that immigration reform that legalizes the undocumented population, it is going to

right of mitt romney on it, don t you think? that s tough. i don t know. we ll see. romney tried this immigration attack from the right four years ago, and it sort of backfired on him. yeah. you look at whatever primary voters are trying to pick an electable candidate for the general election, it s never quite this. i agree. shameless plug, jamal? i thought moore house college would beat howard university. we lost in the fourth quarter. we did rank number two in washington monthly s best liberal arts college this month. lois? great piece on the daily beast web site from an anonymous professor saying that we are not educating our kids for careers. shocker there. jennifer? i ll go with the football, too, stanford, hey, look at wasn t even close. are you a stanford my husband is a stanford alum. i love him so i ll root for stanford. wow. stanford. i thought florida state-miami. wow. okay. they have luck on their side, pun intended.
