Inside Jeb News Today

Early card that fell flat very quickly when they tried to play it. the reality of it is not understanding where the base was, where activists were, where even donors in some cases were relative to the rest of the bush narrative i think was a fatal flaw out of the gate. i always thought that jeb should have made it very clear that hes not his father, hes not his brother, and in so many ways he is his own man, and to demonstrate up front and early where he distinguished himself, where he disagreed...

Believe, much like barack obama made liberals feel good about what they believe. you talk about jeb bush. if anyone needs an image consultant, its jeb bush. he looks terrible on tv. he doesnt look presidential. he looks skinny and needs to put pounds on. get better-fitting clothes. needs to get sharper sound bytes. you cant -- these debates are important because they are the only time people get a chance to show how the candidates can do and competition. jeb is looking weak in these debates. tha...

Running for governor of texas. excuse me, governor of florida. i got to know him well unlike the guy who ran for governor for texas george bush who exuded an energy and enjoyment about running. jeb, in this case, betrayed a sense ive always had of him going way back, which is he is doing a duty dance for the family. you ask why hes running? i sometimes feel its more because hes supposed to run. because he was the one that barbara thought should be president. he had the phi beta kappa. hes tall a...

Trump you can tell is not someone who spends time thinking about religion until this campaign. i think it is a mistake to go after trump. he is not going to win the campaign. >> its not the affiliation but the devoutness, the fidelity, whether you are a man of faith. sabrina, is that your thinking it helps to be something in iowa? >> absolutely. what it helps to be is socially conservative. ben carson has proven whether its abortion or same-sex marriage that he is a devout social conservative. i...

>> you take low-key people. bush said i dont like mr. trumps tone. we have people whose heads are being chopped off in the middle east. hes worried about tone. his campaign is a disaster. its because i came along. im proud of it. so hes meeting now with mom and dad. no, its true. he needs council. >> it amazing trump and bernie sanders, very different characters, wave their arms when they want to make a point. welcome back to "hardball." that was donald trump, of course. today bashing a politica...

It had been billed months ago as a celebration, a gathering in houston of jeb bushs big donors where they would have a chance to mingle and take pictures with a pair of former presidents who also just happen to be jebs father and brother. instead, that closed-door conference, which wrapped up today with remarks by george w. bush, is being cast as something more like a funeral for jebs floundering campaign. now, bush still has plenty of advantages in his quest for the gop presidential nomination,...

Support a republican now. >> when "all in" starts right now. good evening from new york. im chris hayes. it had been billed months ago as a celebration. a gathering in houston of jeb bushs big donors where they would have a chance to mingle and take pictures with a pair of former presidents who also just happen to be jebs father and brother. instead, that closed-door conference which wrapped up today with remarks by george w. bush is being cast as something more like a funeral for jebs founder...

On immigration. he did it with jeb with his dynasty with him being an establishment candidate. there is not much where he can go after ben carson. a lot of what they say is the same. a lot of their positioning is similar. he is looking for anything to grasp. in iowa he believes thats ben carsons faith. its unlikely it would be effective. he wouldnt be where he is if faith is a problem. >> its fascinating. trump defended his remark yesterday. >> some conservatives claim seventh day adventists are...

Like president of the united states, head of the armed forces of this country? >> no, he doesnt. he doesnt like his current job. hes acting incredibly entitled the way he is dishing and dissing the senate. people live their whole lives wanting to be senators. he just doesnt like it so he doesnt show up? who thinks that is commander in chief behavior? who is advising this man? hes imploding as fast as jeb is now. i agree with anne in the sense i do think he could cut into hillary clintons, if it ...

Look at it. that was an adroit move. >> i think you think about ben carson, he makes conservatives feel good about what they believe, much like barack obama made liberals feel good about what they believe. you talk about jeb bush. if anyone needs an image consultant, its jeb bush. he looks terrible on tv. he doesnt look presidential. he looks skinny and needs to put pounds on. get better-fitting clothes. needs to get sharper sound bytes. you cant -- these debates are important because they are t...
