And the lack of enthusiasm continues to show up in the polls. the latest nbc/"wall street journal" poll from new hampshire has jeb at 11%. that double-digit support is a teensy bit of good news considering the same poll in iowa has him at 7% and the latest pew research national poll has him at 4%. which i think its safe to say is not where the jeb bush campaign thought he would be at this point in the cycle. because going into this election one of jebs biggest strengths was his donor network and...

Donor back seat driving has -- it was your job to get back seat driven by donors for a certain period of your life and clearly youre still not over it. but the thing is on the one side, the up side for the jeb bush thing is weve got this huge donor network, we can raise all this money, we can scare people. the down side is that that many more phone calls from some dude that made a fortune in insurance who thinks he knows exactly how many points of advertising to buy in des moines, that youve got...

Theres one thing i know for sure. he kept us safe. [ cheers and applause ] i dont know if you remember, donald -- you remember the rubble -- >> jeb bush managed to fire up the crowd with that line at the last debate. but moments like that have been relatively few and far between. and the lack of enthusiasm continues to show up in the polls. the latest nbc/"wall street journal" poll from new hampshire has jeb at 11%. that double-digit support is a teensy bit of good news considering the same poll...

Thought he otherwise would have. >> one of the most fascinating dynamics of this election so far has been the way that kind of donor back seat driving has -- it was your job to get back seat driven by donors for a certain period of your life and clearly youre still not over it. but the thing is on the one side, the up side for the jeb bush thing is weve got this huge donor network, we can raise all this money, we can scare people. the down side is that that many more phone calls from some dude t...

Paul ben carson, donald trump hes not up there with mitt romney, but these other guys are. and you know, the reason, all of them want to be with romney is for a couple things. first up, mitt romney is popular in new hampshire. hamp is a very important state. when you look at these people that we just named, new hampshire, the path of victory for them when laying out their path for victory goes right through new hampshire. it makes sense. mitt romney has run twice. he knows a little bit about the...

Trying to create jobs, they would pass a transportation bill. >> all right, congressman emanuel cleaver and joan walsh. thank you both for your time. and well be -- well continue to watch the vote in the senate. and if we get that vote to the house, congressman, you might want to go on the floor given november election as you mentioned. playing another james brown tune called "the big payback." coming up, the year of action on fighting inequality on the minimum wage, on unemployment, on fairne...

Washington. people would write him off as a lame duck. i think if this period of time in this book we report on, he was looking around saying to himself, i dont have a donor network. yo a massive political machine behind me. if im going to run for president in four years time, i need that. the obama peoples attitude toward that was this re-election is only about barack obama. you wont have a political future if we dont win. so you need to focus on, there are no side deals here. you need to focus...

Talk to me about what this is? >> i looked at grover norquists foundation. over 66% of its more than two-thirds of husband budget came from just two billionaire-backed nonprofits. if you peel back the layers, the people giving money and propping up norquist are folks like steve schwartzman and investors that have a lot to gain from not cutting taxes. they pay a shockingly low rate. they dont want to pay a penny more. when he says he is going to retaliate against some of the folks that are deviat...

She not doing the conventional things -- >> greta: neither did president obama. >> great point. clearly technology has allowed candidates to arrive there by different routes. she is not doing things mitt romney is doing, writing books, setting up a donor network, things traditionally people running for president do. she is communicating primarily through facebook that doesnt mean she is not running. i think is the evidence she is running. >> greta: it is one thing to win the nomination another t...
