but some people in the jeb camp are arguing that he blamed george w. bush for 9/11. i did not hear him say that in the original interview. i heard him make a statement saying that george w. bush was president when 9/11 happened. he said, it came down on his watch. i think the follow-up is responsible for 9/11, i doubt he thinks that. that would probably be the end of his campaign if that s what he thinks. there was a respectable serious debate focusing on al qaeda and terrorism in the run-up to 9/11. and if that s the debate he s trying to spark, i don t think that s out of bounds. let me say this because one of the tweets we didn t show you what i think is important for
okay so strong response pretty quick coming out from the jeb camp saying jeb bush has a record of cracking down on violent criminals as governor of florida while trrp trmp has up until it was convenient supported liberals soft on crime. his would violate the constitution and cost hundreds of billions of dollars. s.e. could you say what the bush campaign thinks about that ad from their gut, we couldn t even probably put that on air and when i listened to it one of the first things that it evoked for me and i think some other people was, it was sort of a willy horton-esque ad famously below the bad political ad. what do you think of this kind of debate going on? you know that s an ugly ad but i have to say pretty effective. totally, definitely. and jeb needed to be prepared for this kind of line of attack if not that dirty, but he has to be prepared to answer questions
is now the center of republican debate, it s catastrophic. laura. 57% of likely republican voters, which is the key metric, today told rasmussen that they think donald trump is going to be the nominee of the party. now, it s a long way to the nomination. we ve got a year. and as we heard from the jeb camp today in their piece that was clearly encouraged in politico, they re prepared to do whatever is necessary to terminate any problem that comes to the fore. and donald trump is a problem. and so i think we can expect to see with a huge bush largesse, they have money to blow and can raise a lot more if necessary, they re going to do exactly what charles laid out. you said this and now you say this. what s the real donald trump? is it the maniacal policy or something else.
how do these other candidates prepare for trump and what is trump hoping to accomplish on thursday? i think each of them has to have a strategy. i think jeb bush or scott walker hoping that one of the other guys takes him on in a full frontal way and see if they get under donald trump s skin undermine the points. but, you know, i don t think it s a collective response. i think ideally for republicans, donald trump will show himself to be less appealing to republican voters than been so far. john, we heard from the jeb camp over the weekend that they love donald trump staying in the news because it allows them they say to not have to deal with the rise of a challenger like a scott walker or perhaps marco rubio going to challenge from the right. now, there s another side the walker people say, look donald trump is good for us showing that there s an angry conservative part of our primary electorate that we are in much better position to take than jeb bush is. who do you think he bene
