CNN’s Carpenter: Jeb Needs To Quit Trying to Run on His Florida Record

‘He needs to be his own man, quit looking back on his Florida record, trying to run on that, and look forward at the current fights that have happened with the Obama administration and get in the middle of that’

CUOMO: "I can’t trust the other two with this next one, Amanda, so I’ll stay with you."
CARPENTER: "Great."
CUOMO: "After what we saw with Trump and Jeb at the most recent Republican debate, where Trump — I know you’re sick of it, but I’m saying it again, Trump looks at Jeb and says, 'Who’s talking, me or you, Jeb? Me or you?'"
CAMEROTA: "I’m talking."
CUOMO: "And then she gives a little of that action, which is what Jeb Bush did, and I say this is a new Jeb Bush. He has decided to be the anti-Trump, and it is going to give him a boost. Yes or no, Amanda?"
CARPENTER: "Yes. I mean, it’s always good to see Jeb assert himself on the national stage. I think a lot of people are clamoring for that, waiting to see real personality come out. And I think the more — the less guarded Jeb Bush is, the better it is for him. That said, I still think it’s a very bad idea for try — for Jeb Bush to define his candidacy via Trump. He needs to be his own man, quit looking back on his Florida record, trying to run on that, and look forward at the current fights that have happened with the Obama administration and get in the middle of that."
