now here's your first look at this morning's dish of scrambled politics. during a public q & a question,

john boehner weighed in on jeb bush's presidency. he said historically the best candidates have come from the ranks of former governors. and yes jeb bush is my friend. i think he'd make a great president and i've been nudging him for some time. meanwhile, former new york city mayor michael bloomberg is defending hillary clinton on benghazi in a new interview with politico saying, quote, i think most of the criticisms of hillary are totally unfounded. you can maybe disagree with her policies, but what do you expect her to do in benghazi? it's that type of cheap politics which i don't like. she's very competent. at a vote on chamber of commerce, issued a joke saying this about immigration reform. >> if republicans don't do it, they shouldn't have bought and run a candidate in 2016. >> wow. >> i mean, think about that. think about who the voters are.

>> well, the local party officials will make a decision by thursday confirms that clay aiken will be the democratic candidate. i think that's highly likely to happen at this point. then he still has a rough race. i think probably the republican has the easier chance to win in november. but clay is going to fight hard. he's hoping he's going to be more than the runner up this time. that's what he was in "american idol." >> i got you there. that was good, ellis. i want to move on to presidential politics. republicans really had a lot of criticism of candidate barack obama, you know, back in the day saying he was too green, he lacked executive experience. but if you really look at the top three potential republican contenders, couldn't you say something similar about them? >> well, yeah. there's some first-term senators in the group just like barack obama. ted cruz, rand paul, marco

rubio. all of those not a lot of deep executive experience. people with ideas and enthusiasm and some supporters. but one of the toughest republican raps on barack obama was he didn't have enough experience. you know who this is good for? someone like jeb bush. >> john boehner is all for him. >> yeah. you know, you could imagine paul ryan and some others trying to make that case, but it really, i think, is the jeb bush people saying these newbies might be fine, these enthusiastic young people, but you know republicans in the end often like to go with the tried and the true and the guy who's been around awhile. >> thanks for waiting around this morning and speaking with us. we appreciate it. coming up, bill kairns and craig melvin will be back for first buzz and we'll tell you what caught our eyes today.
