Thanks for being an inspiration every day of the year. Thats your morning dish of scrambled politics. Im joined by lauren french. Good morning, happy monday to you. Good morning. Well a new cbs news poll shows most americans really want to see Hillary Clinton and mitt romney won in 2016. Does that surprise you because they ran before and lost . It does not surprise me there isnt a wide berth of name recognition among the other candidates. Jeb bush obviously from florida, former governor, from a famous family. He has some name recognition, but some in the senate dont have nationwide appeal yet. So those numbers for mitt romney and Hillary Clinton 59 of republicans say they want to see mitt romney get in the race, arent surprising given theyre the only two nationwide candidates in the mix. Do you think its frustrating for the americans to see theres no new stars emerging . Thats going to be a big issue for both candidates in 2016. If they do choose to run. Fatigue of what happened previous. Mitt romney is an establishment republican. He would obviously not served in the white house, hasnt been in Public Office in years but hes a familiar face for republicans and many republicans would want to see something new. Hillary clinton, very popular among democrats. More than 80 of democrats want her to get into the race. But it would be a throwback to the clinton years which not all democrats are ready for. So that fatigue could hamper them if they get into the race. Anyone getting a whole lot of momentum . You mentioned jeb bush. Anyone we need to keep our eye on . A cbs poll found that mike huckabee, former arkansas governor, actually had a strong showing at 40 . That was thats a strong showing for him. Chris christie is in the mix. Then you have some of the senate the senate wouldbe candidates, ted cruz rand paul. Those all those republicans could Gain Momentum as time goes by and more americans get learn who they are and learn about them. Yeah, we have some time to see all this play out. In the meantime theres not much time for this. Thats the state of the union address. That is tomorrow in fact. How will the president try to break through the opposition that he faces in that crowd of Republican Led Congress . Hes going to announce a full slate of middle class or economic tax breaks targeted to the middle class. So that is going to be his hail mary if you will. He wants to put republicans on defense. And make them say no to tax breaks for the middle class. Theres also a really big appetite in the republicans to do tax reform so that could be one area of agreement. All right. Well well be watching very closely as you can imagine. Lauren french thank you for joining us today. Thank you for having me. Just ahead, well look at the legacy of dr. Martin luther king, jr.
