It's CPAC week and Kristin and Shane are joined by guest host Alex Roarty, The Hotline's chief political correspondent, to discuss the significance of the conference, Jeb Bush's place in the crowd, and Rand Paul's increasing isolation from his own party. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has been stressing her motherly instincts, Scott Walker may be the candidate to beat, and Marco Rubio is under pressure to stay in the Senate.
