concise they re going on about his record and it should be painfully clear that nobody in the party cares, whether they should or not. the question is when you asked ask them what you re goal? what s your plan? that s a policy objective, not a rationale for running for president and i heard him in that interview i think grappling with that issue saying i m going reset, give people an idea of where i want to take this country. that would help him immensely. i d like to step back because i think what s going on that s interesting is it s so accelerated. we re at a very crunch period. these are the two guys marco rubio and jeb bush who have the best shot of winning a general election. and this sort of this fight wasn t supposed to happen for a couple of months, particularly if you re marco rubio. he feels like he s peaking too early. but that s what s interesting in what will go on in the next few weeks. this talk about it s time for him to retire his candidacy is premature but
the field as the party of no. you brought up syria, let s transition to the big announcement from president obama and i guess the question is, is it a big announcement? we re putting boots on the ground, not many, about 50 but that s a change from a promise the president made numerous times. take a look. in no event are we considering any kind of military action that would involve boots on the ground i will not put american boots on the ground in syria. the notion that the united states should be putting boots on the ground would be a profound mistake and and i want to be very clear and explicit. it s clear the president never wanted to do this. that s crystal clear. what are we doing? i get so frustrated when i hear them saying no boots on the ground but the reality is we ve had boots on the ground before we announced this on friday. we ve sent in special operators, delta commandos to retrieve isis

later you have jeb bush talking about a new surge, defending the legacy, you have to obama administration entwined in these wars. hillary clinton carrying the mantle on of this situation. it s an interplay of character, families and storylines, the upshot of which is we are entwined in a long-term ideological struggle and it s not going away. no president will get rid of it. won t can t just excise it from our foreign policy. and helene, quickly, with hillary clinton and whoever the nominee is if it ends up rubio or bush or somebody from that wing of the party, both advocating more intervention. absolutely. at the end of the day, so is obama now. fair enough. we have a quick programming note. lester holt at nbc nightly news has a two part interview with president obama tomorrow on the nbc nightly news. they ll talk about criminal justice reform and plenty on the news of the day. when we come back in 45 seconds, we have our end game. and this question which
