i think about chris christie versus jeb bush in a matchup. he is going to be put on the spot about every decision his brother made. many of which are unpopular to this day. chris christie came after john mccain for his temper and how it related. there is going to be a lot of questions about do you want chris christie's hand. this is a fascinating debate. >> it's a defining issue in 2015. it will be the economic news that we continue to see and the major disagreements. to susan's point, i think he is giving the signals that i very well could run and him boning up on foreign policy and that's another sign. if you are a possibility, you want to keep your options open. even if you don't end up doing it, this is another sign. saying guys, do not forget about me. i can still do this. maybe i don't do it, but don't forget about me. >> the playing field being sort of determined to some degree in the primary sense, he is right. you will have rand paul trying to develop this new brand. more libertarian brand that is different. retreating back. you will

"the wall street journal" is reporting that the game is on for him to get his donors in line. it will be interesting in new jersey around christmas time. the on the questions of should i run, should i not run, what are the other factors with jeb bush and donors that chris christie has to think about? >> the biggest thing chris christie wants from santa claus is a note from federal prosecutor saying you are not being indicted in the bridge scandal. in terms of things he can actually control, he needs to go out and gauge how nervous are my donors, are they going to flock to jeb bush now that it looks like he is getting in the race, or do i need to assert myself assert my primacy, watch some kind of leadership to keep pace with jeb bush and let people know no you don't have to vote for another bus

it is really chris christie's fault that jeb bush is in this. >> how so? >> because i don't think he's looking hard at this race until pardon the pun, based on christie's verbal skills and personal attitude so we can call it the bully pull pit problem, literally, i think until you reach the problem area he had a number of months back i don't think bush was looking at that. when he saw the faltering from the gentleman in new jersey he began looking at it harder and donors began to say it's a maybe. i still think because governor bush stalktalked about getting the race with joy, which i believe. but i think because of marco rubio from florida acting up or acting out so to speak it pushed jeb to make a decision faster. i think chris christie has done himself harm and if i'm one of those tea party candidates i would want to coalesce behind one. >> everyone knows christie is a tough guy in new jersey, he talked last night about how he would change his demeanor if he ran for president. this is what he said. >> do you have any intention of doing anything to tone

i think chris christie could be one of those guys. he did very well in the last election with african american voters. someone like jeb bushl who has this understanding of deeper issues and how to appeal to different communities, i think he could do that. i think that rand paul has showed he could do it. and i think marco rubio can do it. we have a deep bench of candidates who are willing to have bigger discussions. we have a problem in this country and we got to fix it. >> jonathan you wrote today that we're past the yufrorria of having a black president. are we past this issue? >> democrats are more comfortable talking about race and the issues surrounding race than the republican party. i would say chairman steele when you were the head of the republican party, you tried to do something that the party needs to do by taking the party to places where the party hadn't been before. to african americans, to latinos, to asians broadening the reach of the party. but you're no longer chairman. and ever since then, the party has seemed to r

chris christie 2016 contender and we have rand paul agreeing with each other see. chris christie wants to get the republican nomination probably smart not to weigh in. >> jeb bush said we have to have somebody who is willing to lose the nomination to win the general, in order to get the nomination you have to be so far in the corner you have to back pedal to get the general. >> with all due respect he did weigh in and did say i'm not going to second guess the grand jurors and on that audiotape he said he doesn't understand politicians who are criticizing the grand jury. >> if he wants to win the nomination, why should he not weigh in? >> i think the very far right will say what you said. if you think the other way you're not pro cop. >> no. you're calling me far right. >> you said -- i didn't call you far right, you said a few moments ago these people are not pro cop. >> there are people i think who are anti-cop who don't like this grand jury decision. this was a good day for chris christie to come out in support of the police and in support of a grand jury system

christie is the guy -- chris christie is the guy who has to be most nervous now. whatever time table he is on they are competing for the same backers. same wall street people. a guy like rand paul, he can raise all of the money he wants. a guy like ted cruz, he will raise his money with the tea party crowd. my cup be can go with -- mike huckabee can go with social conservatives. >> it is great for hillary for one reason because all of the attention will go to jeb bush in terms of scrutiny. great for her because if jeb bush is the nominee, that takes the pressure off of the dynasty and that means an elevated policy discussion. >> and she does not look like the future, but he does not like the future either. >> it is bad for her because the populist wing of the democratic party is going to say -- >> they are more comfortable with warren. the ruble, the currency of russia, is in a freefall due to the following oil prices. the decline was so steep that car dealerships like ball though suspended business in russia. this is when you know things are really bad. even appl

it's been a topsy-turvy day for governor chris christie. this morning news of an interim report from new jersey lawmakers. it shows no conclusive evidence the governor was in involved in the lane-closing plan. let's be clear. this was the committee going hard after the governor. this is an unofficial and interim report, but if that panel's final report shows the same thing, this is big for the governor, big for governor christie who maintained the whole time he didn't know about the lane closures beforehand. but, important questions remain, and right before we went on the air, more breaking news. and it's big. wnbc's brian thompson reporting that indictments in the federal probe could come as soon as january. multiple sources familiar with the investigation into last year's traffic jams near the george washington bridge say at least half a dozen potential federal indictments in connection with the scandal may be handed down as early as january. the source is telling wnbc's brian thompson, potential targets of indictment could include former

chris christie had a little bit of a bounce there. carson fell a little bit. i would still say when you're jeb bush, when you're being touted as this front runner who can unite the whole party, you e who can bring the money together, 23% may not be that overwhelming, that commanding the start off with. but i think it was a big thing that was missed here. and the big thing, we'll show you the next one, it's mitt romney. let's take a look here. cnn last month, this poll that jeb bush is surging from, last month, they also included mitt romney. look at this. match mitt romney up against jeb bush. mitt romney was doubling him up a month ago. bush was running in third place. the defeated candidate from 2012 running way ahead of jeb bush. this new poll this week, they didn't even include romney. i don't know if romney is going to run. i doubt it. did you i would love to see how romney is zoing right now. these are all the national polls in the last few months that match up mitt romney, jeb bush, chris christie, sort of the three big hitters on the republican side. l

that would be new jersey governor chris christie. christie is a long time dallas fan much to the dismay of birds fans. many chimed in on facebook. jim writes yes it bothers me very much so. i will nerve vote for him if he does run for president but steve didn't seem to mind. he wrote why would it bother anyone yes? last i heard new jersey doesn't have a pro football team unless you counts the giants and jets. a lot of people are talking about what philadelphia city councilman jim kinney said. he tweet: >>> kinney is not backing down from those comments. this morning he told our sister station kyw news radio "i have a big nose he's got a flat blank. it's what life dials. when you're across from philadelphia as a neighbor you should have a little more common sense and a little more respect for the rest of us. so we'll see how that plays out. >>> in the meantime philadelphia police investigating a deadly shooting by an officer after a traffic stop in mayfair. investigator its tell us two officers pulled over brandon tate brown on frankf

you mentioned chris christie, governor of new jersey and question six is, can christie get his outbursts under control? >> i, you know, i don't know chris christie well enough to say whether he can. i would say that, while i said a couple seconds ago that hillary clinton i think has done more than most politicians have to reinvent herself several times, and this is going to be a campaign of reinvention we'll probably have to see rand paul reinventing himself. if christie wants to make it serious he will have to get is his outburst under control. so far there are not too many sipes he is doing. that he seems to be prepared to run as chris christie that he has sold himself as as the guy who speaks his mind, speaks the truth all the time. it is unvarnished. that seams to be the way he will market himself. i'm not sure he will try to get his outbursts under control. arthel: it worked for him thus far. people in new jersey love him for that. >> right they do and that's the way we roll here. i grew up, for a time in new jersey and that really works. you know whether obviously not almost certai

chris christie would have been another establishment. a fellow and marco rubio lives a few miles from him. does that push him out? >> in a game i would say bush trumps rubio, when you talk about political prowess, ability to raise money, this would speak trouble to a less ebb known candidate from the same state. that being said, there's two things to keep in mind this extraordinarily early, we'll have a strong slate of republican candidates economic, conservative, constitutional conservative, throwing their hat in. more moderate voices like with jed bush and governor christy, it will shake out. you may see the dark horse candidate. it will make it a vibrant race. the point of this part of the primary, this used to be invisible primary was about money and grassroots, is to see who was the lasts power to be prepared and tested to go forward against the democratic nominee. that's what it's about. it puts a big foot imprint on the race. >> michael lesley brings up the issue of the conservatives and democratic party. jed bush said to win the
