Dont try to outdo donald trump. your an ideas guy, a policy guy. thats what people are responding to. if youre on the end of the stage, in that 5%, 4%, 3% rate, you have to do something quick to keep your campaign alive so people, one, will notice you and, two, will give you money. carly fiorina did it. some said she was on the jv stage. now shes on big stage. you have to look at where you are and have a strategy that works for you. >> alex, youve been confounded by this from the beginning. we a...

He has to be the happy warrior, the guy who can make the case for compassion aate conservativ. he has to make that clear. >> heres somebody who has similarities with donald trump in a way, chris christie. >> he has a lot to explain. he has a record that hes trying to run on that includes a disastrous public pension system, that includes a full-blown scandal that burst into the national view in the last week. he has to get into it. he cant go around blaming everybody else. he blames the state sen...

Doesnt have the luxury that trump does. no other candidate does, of being able to flub the policy. he needs to be right on the spot with it because people consider him the policy guy. and so he needs to be able to do both things at the same time. deliver shots and be right on the policy. >> speaking on the policy, alex, i want to ask you, jeb has gone after trump for his attacks on latino immigrants, as you know. and he released a new video today, featuring his wife columba. >> i have lived my l...

Badding, because not only is he sucking up all the oxygen, but hes putting out a face for the party that they dont see, they dont align with. that is also problematic. a lot of people are going to trump because of his personality like the "new york times" wrote. not because of his deep policy ideas where jeb bush is someone who is a policy guy. its not as shiny, its not as exciting, so right now, everyone saul about trump. >> this is a scene, obviously, in mobile alabama, and i really enjoyed re...

Able to do as a junior senator before. >> ana, whats your take? who do you think did well last night? the fact that youre not necessarily singing the praises of the candidate you support, jeb bush makes me wonder why not? >> listen i think jeb had very good answers. i dont think he had very good moments. in a debate when theres ten people you need both in order to stand out. i think -- jeb is a policy guy, a substance guy. hes put a lot of meat into 60 seconds. hes learned how to answer and pivo...
