>> stephen: making friends, john. (laughter) hey! come over to john mccain's barbecue! your kid's ugly! (laughter) (applause) >> stephen: let's talk about some of the things you might have criticism for president obama. i had john kerry on last week. it boils down to the conversation, as far as i could something like what they got, some kind of deal or war with iran, that it was time to start bombing them if we couldn't come up with some sort of deal. >> no. i believe that, if we had had a better deal, that it would have been something we could work with. >> stephen: what would that deal have looked like? more centrifuges are getting closer to a bomb. >> would have had much better verification, inspections procedures, would not have released 100 billions. the iranians keep chanting death to israel, death to america. in the last few days, guess who's putting more and more troops from the iranian revolutionary guard into syria, iran. >> stephen: they have boots on the ground. >> yes, and more coming in. >> stephen: do you think they parts of iraq and syria that are contro

charlie: is the john mccain of that campaign in 2000 the same john mccain today? senator mccain: sure. yeah. charlie, there is no point in changing now. charlie: and this -- senator mccain: that is one of the reasons i'm going to have a tough fight. charlie: because you are a straight talker. there's also this. in a long and distinguish career what are you most proud of? , what is john mccain, beyond the family tradition of service to the country -- what is it? senator mccain: i am most proud of my military service for having the strength of my comrades to refuse an offer to come home early. in public life, i think i have been most effective and can be effective on national security. being chairman of the senate armed services committee has enormous responsibilities and authorities. that is why i am running again. because i see that we are -- and part of the problem is republicans that only care about deficits. we see frustration now. we need to care for the men and women. we need to train them, give them the weapons and benefits they need. we need a strategy. you

his nearest competitor was john mccain down at 12%. and you look at it right now, jeb bush is at about 7%. so we are finally now seeing, it's been a slow-moving train wreck here but you've seen it over the last nine months, the big difference between jeb bush and george w. bush but also between the year 2000 and the year 2016 in the republican party. >> part of that also i think has to do with the degree of power the, quote, establishment has, the degree to which the base was kind of willing to take signals from its leaders, which has really changed in -- >> it's the ultimate undoing. people say oh, it's bush fatigue, it's the iraq war. the ultimate undoing of jeb bush is the legacy of the george w. bush era because george w. bush became -- the reason they were willing to fall into line for george w. bush was republicans in 2000 the mindset was we want our own bill clinton. he beat us in the '96 election. he beat us in impeachment. he keeps beating us, we can't figure it out, let's get our own guy. that's what compassionate conservatis

a lot of people say they speak for john mccain, here is what john mccain really says -- having a nominee who strongly supports helps. there is one misconception. parties weren' t involved, the secretary of state could use state latour adv. but if either party decided they wanted to adopt a rule to get rid of either state -- release date, they can. -- get rid of either early state, they can. you, the candidate, forfeit all of your delegates earned not only in that state, but all of the delegates you would earn nationally. that' s what is the so-called death penalty. that' s the threat. i think people in the country are getting it. i started in 1992 bringing members to the national committee up here. some folks, like the late, great off -- governor greg was involved. he was against new hampshire. he saw how it worked. he was the one who proposed and led the effort to adopt the strengthen chandr -- strengthen new hampshire. when they come here, they see it is good for the party. josh m.: we only have a couple minutes to go. whether you like the caucuses or not, how important is it that the

mccain ofsn in 2 thousand, the same john mccain today? >> oh, yeah, oh, sure, yeah. i don't-- look, charlie-- charlie, there is no point in me changing now. >> rose: and this.when you look. >> that's one of the reasons why i'm going to have a tough fight. >> rose: because are you astrai. >> yes, sir. >> rose: so there is also this,d career, what are you most proud of. what has john mccain, beyond the sense of the family tradition of service to the country, your grandfather and your father, and you, both in war and peace what is it? >> well, one i'm most proud of my military service for having its strength of my come rads to refuse an offer of coming home early. in public life, i think that i have been most effective and can be effective in the future on national security. being chairman of the center for armed services committee has enormous responsibilities and authorities. and that is reason why i'm running again, is because i see that we are, and part of the problem vep kans. that only care about deficits, that we are in is he question

the suspect then taken into custody. >>> senator john mccain blasting the obama administration saying it lacks credibility. even though mccain is in favor of closing gitmo just like obama. >> the law rawas broken when mr bergdahl was swapped for five people. there's a credibility gap that's huge when the president acts in direct violation of the law. >> is it a violation of the law? >> on its face it's a violation of the law. he and i discussed this extensively off air. president obama signed it into law. this is not some ancient law that he would rather overlook. the president's argument is under the constitution i run federal prisons and i can move prisoners in and out. the congressional argument is this is a unique situation constitutionally unheard of in our history and this was negotiated for compromise. you agreed on the compromise and you signed it into law and violated it. is there anybody to complain about there? no. bergdahl's not going to complain because he's out of al qaeda custody. the five terrorists are not going to complain because they're out of gitmo. the complaints

. >> you're modelling your campaign after john mccain. that you're going to launch a furious comeback the way he did. you know how many votes john mccain missed when he was carrying out that furious comeback? i don't remember you ever complaining about john mccain's vote record. the obviously reason you're doing it now is because we're running for the same position. >> that back and fort may have turned some heads, but senator rubio is now playing what happened on the debate stage last night. he was a guest on my radio program earlier today. here's what he told me about that exchange. >> someone's obviously convinced him, if he attacks me it's going to help him in his campaign. it isn't true. i can't control other people's campaigns. they certainly have a right to do it. i'm not going to change who i am. i'm not running against any of these people on the stage. i'm running for president. and i'm running because we can't afford another four years like the last eight years. >> here with reaction, jeb bush. governor welcome back. good to see

my congressman or senator. >> i don't ever remember you complaining about john mccain's vote record. the only reason you're doing it to it now is because we're running for the same position and someone has convinced you that attacking me is going to help you. >> yes, i was fired over a disagreement in the board room. there are politics in the board room as well and yet the man who led my firing, tom tony perkins, an icon of silicon valley, has come out publicly and said you know what, you were wrong. she was right. she was a great ceo. she would be a great president of the united states because the leadership she brought to hp section act lit leadership we need in washington, d.c. >> mr. fiorina, it's interesting that you bring up mr. perkins because he said a lot of very questionable things. last year in an interview he said that he thinks wealthy people should get more votes than poor people. i think his quote was if you pay zero dollars in taxes you should get zero votes. if you pay a million dollars you should get a million votes. is this the kind of person -- >> this is why mr.

senator john mccain will be in to weigh in on that. as well as getting to react to what his buddy lindsey graham said about what the house mess means for the fwop. stay tuned. when a moment spontaneously turns romantic, why pause to take a pill? and why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use, is the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction so you can be ready anytime the moment is right. plus cialis treats the frustrating urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or any symptoms

reid says it takes a hot of chutzpah to compare himself to bob dole, john mccain, john kerry and barack obama. we have two reports on this. one from peter alexander. but we want to begin with nbc's hallie jackson. >> reporter: jeb bush, now forced to answer whether today marks the beginning of the end for his campaign, or the beginning of a comeback. >> it's not on life support. we have the most money. we have the greatest organization. we're doing fine. >> reporter: bush on defense after what many viewed as a dismal debate night defined by this moment, a punch that didn't land against marco rubio and his missed senate votes. >> you can campaign or just resign and let someone else take the job. >> jeb, i don't remember you ever complaining about john mccain's vote record. the only reason why you're doing it now is because we're running for the same position and someone has convinced you that attacking me is going to help you. >> reporter: bush again put his one-time protege on notice. >> i do think people ought to show up and work for crying out loud. >> reporter: sticking with a strate

it would be nearly 3 more months before john mccain will finish first in a poll. of course, he was the eventual nominee and mike huckabee was in first place as late as january 6. the moral of the story, forecasting the you jerk this early is by predicting the world series after three weeks of spring training. it is not a good idea. >> it almost seems like earlier on it is the washington outsider that seems to do very well. are you talking about people >> that tends to be a common occurrence. keep in mind, it has been more than 50 years since a nonmainstream establishment candidate won the nomination, that would've been barry goldwater in 1964. george w. bush was the only nominee since then who hadn't won for president before. outsiders generally don't make it in the republican universe. >> asked why it is so interesting. right now a deal to try to prevent a government shutdown is being pitched to congress. a budget agreement was agreed to today that prevents a spike in medicare part b, and lists the debt ceiling until 2017. that deal is expected to pass. >>> no lo

senator john mccain joins us live. then senator elizabeth warren will not run for president this time. it doesn't mean she isn't watching the race. >> bernie puts up fights. >> what is her beef with biden? and the best political team on television will be here with insights from the campaign trail. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >>> i'm jake tapper with breaking news out of south carolina there's a flood of catastrophic proportions under way. 140 people have already been rescued from streets overcome with rain and emergency workers are trying to free more people trapped in vehicles at this hour. officials are asking people to stay indoors as roads and highways are closed across the state. at this moment, the storm is hitting columbia, south carolina very hard. let's get to the fire chief there aubrey jenkins who joins us by phone. this looks like a dangerous situation. what are you seeing in the streets? >> caller: well, right now we're still seeing residue -- we actually have the residences that are being fl

i'll ask senator john mccain. he's standing by live. and when you bundle your home and auto insurance through progressive, you'll save a bundle! [ laughs ] jamie. right. make a bad bundle joke, a buck goes in the jar. i guess that's just how the cookie bundles. now, you're gonna have two bundles of joy! i'm not pregnant. i'm gonna go. [ tapping, cash register dings ] there you go. [ buzzing ] bundle bee coming! it was worth it! saving you a bundle when you bundle -- now, that's progressive. >>> a war crime, the deadly u.s. air strike on a hostel in afghanistan condemned by an aid group as a violation of humanitarian law. >>> and on capitol hill, the commander in charge grilled by lawmakers. i'll talk to the senator who led that hearing, john mccain. >>> alliance of evil? russia's rapid military build-up in syria shines a spotlight on vladimir putin's alliance with that country's ruthless dictator, bashar al assad. why is putin coming to his aid now and what does he hope to get out of their complex relationship? >>> major breaches, multi

that's why the left wanted john mccain. the right wants bernie sanders, because he would be much easier to beat than hillary clinton. let's talk reality. >> and america does not want a hard left socialist. they don't want one. >> the problem is the only good person on that stage was jim webb in terms of like a reasonable set of what we need in america. about national security. i say that based on what he said last night and based on his military service. he didn't pick cumulus clouds as the biggest threat to america. good god. >> the fact that hillary -- >> first lady, elected senator from new york state and secretary of state and we totally discount anything any experience she's ever had. why? because we don't like her. you saw last night an extremely competent person, even though she may not be the most pleasant person in the room, she's going to be a hell of a debater and i submit she would not be that bad of a president. >> you know what was missing from last night? all of the debate, there's not one note of grace or ch

you know how many john mccain missed? >> he wasn't -- >> jeb, i don't remember you ever complaining about john mccain's vote record. the only areason you are doing t now is we are running for the same same position and someone convinced you attacking me is going to help you. here is my bottom line. my campaign is going to be about the future of america, not about stacking anyone else on this stage. i will have tremendous admi admiration for govern bush. i am not running again governor bush, anyone on this stage. i am running for president. >> al jazeera's alan fisher watched the debate in bolder. >> people might thing they are just another debate, but they are important. remember scott walker. he was in the lead in the republican field very early in this race but he had a bad first debate and a terrible second bedate. within a week, he was gone. who is under pressure this time? in the earlier debate, george pataki and bobby jindal because they are polling in single figures. in the main debate, jeb bush who is under pressu

by invoking john mccain the bush has praised. >> don't remember you complaining about john mccain's vote record. the only reason you're doing it now is we're running for the same position and someone convinced u.s. taking the will help you. >> reporter: all the candidates seemed united in their disdain for the moderators and the media in general. >> this is not a cage match. if you look at the question, donald trump are you a comic book value, ben carson, can you do math, john kasich, will you insult to to people over here, marco rubio, why don't you resign, jeb bush, why have your numbers fallen, how about talking about the substantive issues people care about. >> reporter: date later offered olive branches to one of the moderators. >> by you of tequila or even some famous, ronald brownies. >> reporter: chris christie had his own lecture for the questioners after a query on whether the ben: fantasy football should be classified as gambling. people out of work, isis and al qaeda attacking us and we are talking about fantasy football? >> reporter: the candidates did discuss some other iss

you know how many points he missed. >> i don't member you ever complaining about john mccain's foot record. someone is convincing you that attacking me is going to help you. >> i don't know how many votes to john mccain missed either. someone convinced you, which is like, you are so desperate you will shoot at me with this. therefore it doesn't matter whether or not your shot lands because you look at a for even trying to come after me. >> style counts. what i noticed about rubio, what it was that answer or so many others, he was exceptionally glib. he was able to deflect uncomfortable questions away. we saw that time and again in his answers tonight. there was the moment for bush beyond that. i don't know what the final number was, but the debate clock near the end, he was at the very bottom of that list. >> "the new york times" published their list of time up up session. carly spoke for the most time. jeb bush was the least i just over six minutes, then ben carson, the guys that didn't make any impression. >> this -- we may look back at the campaign as a very big turning point because je

i don't remember you complaining about john mccain's vote record. the reason you are doing it now is because we are running for the same position. >> reporter: the immediate reaction is the attack may have back feared on jeb bush. marco rubio may have capitalized on that moment. although donald trump and ben carson are the frontrunners. you had to look at senator ted cruz. he is looking to pull support from trump and carson. he did that by going after the media. >> the questions asked so far in the debate illustrate why the american people don't trust the media. this is not a cage match and you look at the questions. donald trump, are you a comic book villain? ben carson, can you do math. john kasich, will you insult two people here. jeb bush, why have your numbers fallen? how about talking about the substantive issues that people care about? >> reporter: and republican national convention chairman reince priebus came to the spin room after saying he is disappointed with cnbc. back to you. >> thank you, sara. let's talk about the winners and losers.

you know how many votes john mccain missed? >> he wasn't my senator. >> i don't remember you complaining about john mccain's voting record. the only reason you're doing it now because we're running for the same position and someone convinced you attacking me is going to help me. >> it's a classic. let the other guys jump you and look like it's a gang attack and then come back. lawrence o'donnell, a classic maneuver by mr. rubio. >> yeah. and i agree with chuck, that was a moment where we had the first look at what is turning out to be the winner of this debate. that is a winning moment. i think we have a second and third place so far, too, for ted cruz and chris christie. for chris christie, though, it's academic. but cruz lit up that stage with the first really powerful attack on the moderators, which has been the most successful debate tactic used by anybody up there on the stage. and based on expectation, based on what everyone said he needed to do, it seems we do have a loser tonight. it seems jeb bush is losing this debate

john mccain wanted it to be equal. this lying.t's stop i'm sick and tired of the general media protecting hillary clinton when she is lying through her teeth. they proved she is lying through her teeth, yet the national media is making it like it doesn't matter, or something. i'm tired of this. host: who is your candidate as a republican? kasich, i think, has the message, the message that can pull this nation together. he is a very, very capable person. unfortunately, it is not registering with people. i honestly don't think the american voter knows how to think. host: thank you for the call from fort lauderdale. ben carson is 64. donald trump is 69. donald trump is wrapping up attacks against ben carson. anita,t caller is joining us from san antonio, texas, democrat line. seeer: i honestly do not what republican will be able to stand up to hillary clinton. she just met over 11 hours at that hearing being paraded -- berated by these republicans, who really did not seem to have anything to ask her. they really just want

but recall what john mccain did in 2008 when a woman was similarly offensive. ms. jarrett: what senator mccain did was really excellent. get sent a really important message. it is ok to disagree with somebody. name-calling -- it is something you are supposed to stop when you are much, much younger. [applause] again, i am being serious. i am not trying to avoid the question. we are a country that should celebrate diversity. we are a country that believes in religious freedom and expression. we should be embracing that. ultimately, the reason why i am not bothering to comment on one particular thing a candidate says is i ultimately have confidence in the american people and their wisdom. host: and the president, in this last year, what he is trying to accomplish, in his speech to the general assembly, he laid out a anniversarye 70th of the u.n. where he sounded frustrated. contrast that to the speech in cairo in 2009, one was filled with hope and change, if you will, and the speech this week seemed frustrated. obviously, six years later, he has an experience enriched

you know how many votes john mccain missed? i don't remember you ever complaining about mccain's vote record. the reason you are doing it now is because we are running for the same position. >> reporter: the immediate reaction from the moment is fired on have back fired on jeb . marco rubio may have best capitalized on that moment. even though donald trump and ben carson are the frontrunners in the republican field right now, the fireworks did not come from them. you had to look at senator ted cruz. he is running in the conservative land at the party and looking for support from trump and carson. he did that by going after the media. >> the questions so far asked in the debate illustrate why the american people don't trust the media. this is not a cage match and you look at the questions. donald trump, are you a comic book villain. marco rubio, why don't you resign? how about talking about the substantive issues people care about. >> reporter: cruz wasn't the only candidate unhappy with the debate last night. republican nationa

all the john mccains better be scared right now, as he's up for re-election. every house seat better be scared especially if they're sitting here trying to debate mccarthy who's going to be the new speaker. these guys have to realize the impact. it's not just the white house. if trump gets in, it will be the trickle-down effect of conservatives down to the janitor of the house. >> yesterday we were discussing, we were discussing donald trump sending marco rubio the water. i don't know if you remember that. hillary clinton sent gop candidates a copy of her book "hard choices" so they could read up on her accomplishments. do you think this is a play autoof taut out of the trump playbook? >> is that actually a book? >> no, i don't think it's a play out of the trump playbook. look, you know, trump was cute in sending the water to marco rubio. it's a nice little very trump-esque jab. i don't know that it accomplishes anything other than get him a headline. but, you know, hillary sending this book i think it does send a -- you know, it reinforces the accomplishments

you know how many votes john mccain missed? >> jeb, i don't remember you ever complaining about john mccain's vote record. the only reason you're doing it is that someone has convinced you, attacking me is going to help you. my campaign is going to be about the future of america. it's not going to be about attacking anyone else on this stage. i will continue to have tremendous respect for governor bush. i'm running for president because there's no way we can elect hillary clinton. >> let's talk about what happened. joining us now is the bush communications director tim miller. great to have you on the program. when marco rubio said that, he clearly got a response from the audience. is that in fact true, is this something that you guys had worked on governor bush turning to marco rubio and using kind of a french line, the french work hours line? >> you know, that's not true at all. this is about public service and that's what marco doesn't get and i think that over the long haul this comparison is going to be one that accrues to

he reminded me of newt gingrich. >> when he went after john mccain. >> i think we have that too. >> okay. yeah. >> let me say something at the onset. the questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the american people don't trust the media. [ applause ] >> this is not a cage match, and you look at the questions. donald trump, are you a common a villain. ben carson, can you do math? john k sick, insult two people over here. marco rubio, why don't you resign? guide bush, why have your numbers fall and expect talk about the substantive issues that people care about. >> the prepackaged, let's attack the media and the moderators, or was there something going on that made this such -- >> i'm pretty sure that was prepackaged in some way. at the same time this was an unusually chaotic debate. five people asking questions of ten candidates in a two-hour format. a lot of crosstalk in moments where it candidates trying to get in, moderators cutting him off. a lot more chaos in this one than we have seen in the other ones. >> steve, you're the person i most want to know about

we know you have snairyou have john mccain elizabeth warren. >> we have a lot to talk about. we have mark kelly, gabby giffords' husband talking about gun laws and how to stop gun violence like this. we'll talk about to john mccain about the horrific incident in afghanistan as well as syria. what to do next in syria. and senator elizabeth warren on all things having to do with politics and the economy and bernie versus hillary. it should be an exciting show. >> looking forward to it, jake tapper. thank you. "state of the union" with jake tapper starts at the top of the hour right here on cnn. we'll be back. did you know that good nutrition is critical for brain health? brain food, hmmm. ensure has b vitamins that help support brain health - now that's smart nutrition. ensure's complete balanced nutrition has 26 vitamins and minerals and 9 grams of protein. ensure. take life in. when you're not confident your company's data is secure, the possibility of a breach can quickly become the only thing you think about. that's where at&t can help. at at&t we monitor our network traffi

john mccain refers to russia as a gas station with a country attached. it would have produced jobs and economic growth here at home. it was a no-brainer. the president did not want to do it. we can stand up and show strength to russia. we can defeat isis. in respect to the severe -- syrian civil war, we do not have a dog in that fight. the job of our military is to defend america and not nation build. personalouple of questions. what time did your day begin this morning and when will it end tonight? began at: the day about 8:00 and i've been on the and i have done six or seven town halls, visiting coffee shops in traveling from town to town to town. andve done radio interviews a few meetings. tonight, i have three hours to drive and i will crash and get a few hours sleep and get up in the morning and keep traveling across iowa. host: how are you preparing for the debate on wednesday? sen. cruz: i have a great team of people who i really like and trust. we have done a number of mocks and we go through questions and do some back and forth. approaches, i tr

senator john mccain joins us live. >>> then senator elizabeth warren. she will not run for president this time, but that doesn't mean she isn't watching the race. plus, what's her beef with biden and the best political team on television will be here with insights from the campaign trail. >>> hello i'm jake tapper in washington with some breaking news out of south carolina where there ask a flood of catastrophic proportions underway. at least 140 people have already been rescued from streets overcome with rain. and emergency workers are trying to free more people trapped in videos. roads and highways are closed across the street. let's get to the cnn weather center for the latest on this life-threatening storm. >> we're looking at some pretty incredible numbers out here. mt. pleasant, south carolina, 24 inches of rain. we're talking 2 feet just in the last couple of days from this storm. columbia picking up 18 inches of rain. and the charleston airport, 16 inches. also keep in mind, that downtown charleston area has officially had its wettest october on

senator john mccain yesterday saying that the administration has failed miserably. corker said this morning, the administration has sat on its hands during the most atrocities and the highest amount of people that have been killed. the biggest refugee crisis, the most women and children being killed. the greatest torturers, and in essence, they've done nothing. >> look, i don't think those kind of create goategorical condemnations help right now. if you're a hebb of the house, you have to have specific ideas you can suggest to the administration. i've done that. i've done that in the past. i haven't always agreed with the administration, but just tough talk and broad pronouncements don't help here. we have to come together in a bipartisan fashion to have a strategy to implement in syria to get this right. because as long as assad is in control, and as long as this policy doesn't seem to be getting to any kind of strategic end, it's only helping isis which has to be the area where we can actually work with the russians, work with others to defeat isis. so we've got t

john mccain was critical of his party sunday. the former gop presidential nominee argued 2 candidates who used insulting rhetoric will ultimately end up helping the democrats. >> i think we're hurting ourselves and our chances to win the general election if we disparage each other and impugn character of each other, then after the primary is over, then obviously there's a trust and support deficit amongst the american people. >> vice president joe biden spoke in front of 3,500 lgbt activists this weekend at the annual human rights campaign dinner. he praised the work that activists have made but he also made this quip. >> the american people are already with you. look at the numbers. there's homophobes still left. most of them are running for president, and i think -- >> during this speech, biden made no mention of whether or not he'd be joining the 2016 presidential race. >>> republican congressman jason chaffetz announced that he is running for speaker of the house. the chairman of the house oversight committee will be challeng

you complaining about john mccain's to the record. the only reason you're doing and now someone -- convinced you that attacking me is the way to do it. >> they seemed united in their disdain for a moderate is and the media in general. >> if you look at the question, donald trump, are you a comic book villain, ben carson, can you do that, john case and william insults we did people over here, marco rubio, why don't you resign, jeb bush, what have your numbers fallen, how about talking about substantive issues? >> reporter: crews layer of olive branchs to one of the moderators. >> some could tequila or color on a brownies. >> reporter: chris christie had his election for the questions after a query on whether daly fantasy football should be classified as gambling. >> wait a second. we had $18 trillion in debt, people lot of work, isis and al qaeda attacking us and we're talking about fantasy football? >> reporter: the candidates did discuss some other issues like ben carson's plan for a flat tax. carson, the new front runner in this rac

you know how many votes that john mccain missed? he doesn't remember you complaining about john mccain's record. the only reason you're doing it now is that we're running for the same position and someone said attacking me will help you. >> today the two took a softer tone. >> a lot of people are frustrated with their jobs. all across this country. but continue to show up to work. a lot of people that can't take time off, unless they get a deduction in their pay. that's the real world. >> this is not personal. i'm not attacking his character. i'm saying people need to show up to work to vote. >> i haven't said a disparaging word about him and i won't. i have admiration for him, he's considered my friend, i have personal affection towards him. i'm not running against jeb bush, nor am i running against any of the other republicans in this race. i'm running for president. >> that's a smart approach. a lost people supportive of both jeb and marco rubio and marco rubio was helped to where he is by endorsements and help from jeb bush and
