i think i've actually seen that part of the problem overcome. i think you've got to be a realist about this. i wasn't in this primarily for myself anyway i was in it to accomplish the objective of getting foreign defense policy the first job of the presidency to be the center of the debate. >> as you say you would have run as a national security hawk now that you're out of the race are there any people that are currently and likely to be in who you are comfortable with on those issues and any that you're very much uncomfortable with on those issues? i'm talking on the republican side. >> i don't think for this point any way the s&p rating service for the other republican candidates my aim is to push all of them to talk more how they feel about national security. that is the president's top job. it's not enough to read a speech and not enough -- the kapd dates have to demonstrate in their guts that they understand protecting the country is job one. most of the candidates are moving in the right direction.
