i'm van jones on the left. >> i'm newt gingrich on the right. in the crossfire tonight, penny lee and john ferry. there's plenty of good news for republicans tonight. the breadth of chris christie's victory in new jersey is very impressive. he won among women, split the latino vote, and even took one fifth of african-americans. what's more, obama care nearly cost terry mcauliffe the virginia governor's race. clearly republicans now have a pattern for winning the white house in 2016 and a new star in the front ranks of possible candidates. >> i know that tonight a dispirited america, angry with their dysfunctional government in washington -- [ cheers ] >> -- looks to new jersey to say, is what i think happening really happening? are people really coming together? >> well, the fact is, new jersey's very impressive. i would say also frankly there are a lot of other impressive republican governors around the country. but i think tonight we can look at this. and i know you don't want to hear it. i think the biggest story of the actual events of today

what he he advite romney to do when it came to newt gingrich. >> newt gingrich trounlsed mitt romney in the south carolina primary, when romney thought he was going to win it a few days out. it threw the romney campaign reeling. apparently, chris christie got on the phone, the book says, with mitt romney, and said you've got to kick the blank out of this guy. newt gingrich is a joke, and he advised the campaign to go after him hard in florida, which they did. they might not have needed chris christie's advice to do that, but they nuked newt gingrich in florida with a bunch of tv ads. it's interesting to go behind the scenes and hear these two very prominent republicans talking to each other about someone else, newt gingrich, our colleague at cn nrk. >> he is our colleague. thank you. speaking of the former house speaker, newt gingrich will be on piers morgan tonight, responding to the insult. watch that tonight, 9:00 eastern. >>> let's tong politics more. more with donna brazile and leslie sanchez. donna is a cnn political commentat commentator, and leslie is a republican strategist.

candidate like newt gingrich and rick santorum would have had to close down earlier had they not support of wealthy people. i think there's no question that heading into 2016, billionaires and millionaires we talked about feel a little bit burned because they feel as though their money wasn't particularly spent in the general election but they feel even more urgently they want to try to find the right person who can fuse the republican establishment with the republican grassroots to take on whoever the democratic nominee is in 2016. >> fascinating stuff. the book is great. thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. >> thanks marimaria. up next "on the money," holiday airfare s soaring to new height. you may be a click away from scoring a cheap flight. find out how. stay with us. at farmers, we make you smarter about insurance.

you meet newt gingrich all of a sudden. his presence might seem odd at first and then you begin to see oh it's because this is the late 70's and early 80s. jeff coddington is about to go to washington and here is nick gingrich to did more than anything to create a toxic political world that we live in. been to go back to one of the characters and so yuan and it takes you 35 years through their life stories and the largest part of america to reach the present. i can't say it's a story of shining success because it's not but i don't think it's depressing in the sense that these people have tremendous energy, humor, creativity, a kind of growing objectivity about themselves which is you know that only benefit to getting older. it is i have to say a kind of a middle-aged story. all of these people come from the period around the late 50's or 60's and i needed that because they needed their lives to carry the weight of all that history that gets in the late 70's and links to the president. so that gives you a brief map of "the u

how will it describe newt gingrich's relationship to mitt romney? >> probably close to non-existe non-existent. we fought a very hard fight. i was clear about what i thought about his tactics. i think in the absence of an enormous financial advantage, he wouldn't have been nominee. he ended up in the end as we said he would. he didn't have personality and the ability to take on a guy of caliber of barack obama and win the campaign. >> not a fan. president obama campaigns with terry mccauliffe in virginia. >> i make you a prediction. if you do what he should, a year from now he'll be so popular half will wonder what in the wide world they were thinking about. with premium service like one of the best on-time delivery records and a low claims ratio, we do whatever it takes to make your business our business. od. helping the world keep promises. just by talking to a helmet. it grabbed the patient's record before we even picked him up. it found out the doctor we needed was at st. anne's. wiggle your toes.

he had michele bachmann and newt gingrich, et cetera fighting for that same piece of pie. that's really what chris christie needs. isn't it? >> yes and he's probably going to get it. he's probably going to have a challenge, i'm guessing a challenge also from his center kind of position. because there's opportunity there. and chris christie has problems besides not being a tea partier. i mean, when you really dig into chris christie's record, he's not the perfect presidential candidate. all of the divisions within the party aside. my guess is going to get a challenge from the center also. but yeah, you're right. the rest of the party's going to be divided between five people on the tea party wing. but they're going to give him a lot of room to see reasonable. >> michael, to ron's point, i've written on this subject noting that which makes him immensely popular in new jersey, those every man characteristics and qualities and outbursts, if you string them together in a two-minute reel, people might start to question his temperance to be commander in chief. >> they absolutely
