very well in the state, and so, they re hoping that senator whateveren s policy stance is on some of these issues will sort of resonate with those vowers as opposed to some of her stances on the president s energy policy. so, i mean, the conventional wisdom about this race has been this is the senate seat that jay rockefeller, long-serving democrat, he s retiring this year. basically the assumption in washington is that republicans, shelley moore capito, the assumption is, she s going to win the race because west virginia at the federal level has become such a republican state. do you see it that way? that s certainly what you ll hear state-level republicans in the capito campaign talk about. the charleston daily mail commissioned a poll in may that showed congresswoman capito was up 11 points on secretary of state tennant and there was a consistent message that west virginia is slowly but surely turning into a republican-controlled state.
i think jeb is trying to disqualify himself to say something he knows is not going to be accepted. if you don t want to run, just say so. so is this a deal breaker for a jeb bush presidential run? hey, chris, is it? nothing is a deal breaker. this policy stance would be unpalpable to the republican base. republicans won t accept any deals on immigration. why is jeb bush going this route? number one, he believes it. people actually saw it this time. it created more of an effect and
trying to disqualify himself right now because he done want to run and he done want all these people to grab him so he says something that he knows will not be accepted. my answer to that if you don t want to run just say so. so, is this a deal babier for jeb bush presidential run? is it? well, nothing is a deal breaker. now this policy stance, if he doesn t change it would be totally unpalatable to the republican base which we know insists on one thing. before any deal on immigration what has to happen first? enforcement. they won t do any deals, republicans won t accept any deals on immigration why is jeb bush going this route? well, look, number one he believes it. it just so happens he said think it time on the fox news channel which mean that people actually saw it this time. and so it created more of an effect and people heard it more
