you make donald trump supporters mad and anti-donald trump supporters mad. you may as well pick a side. she hasn't done that. look, a lot of candidates are weighing their options. it's hard to predict what's going to happen. donald trump, we know, one thing has negative numbers. he has high negative numbers among women, african-americans, among hispanics, and among young people. unless he can start to turn those around or unless something dramatic happens on the other side, it's going to be difficult to see how he's going to win this election. >> we actually have a bit of news here in last few minutes on this subject of the republican party and whether it will rally around donald trump. house speaker paul ryan, in an interview a few minutes ago on cnn, saying that he cannot support donald trump yet. so susan, that's interesting, leaving open the possibility it is yet to come but he's not there yet. >> that is really interesting. and i haven't seen that interview. for paul ryan, the highest ranking republican in american politics, at the moment, to not embrac

they want donald trump. what i'm so confused about and maybe ryan can answer this, it is strange the party was so quick to embrace mitt romney when he is much more liberal than donald trump. mitt romney ran massachusetts and was like the main author of obama care before obama care was created. this idea that donald trump is not as conservative as previous nominees. i think this takes time. >> i have to be honest with you. i didn't get what paul ryan was saying that donald trump wasn't conservative enough. i think there were other concerns beyond that there. please follow up on this silly elite thing. do you think this is about silly elites or real concerns in the republican party that donald trump's character doesn't fit what the party wants? >> i think there are real concerns. the type of campaign he ran created deep divisions. in the last few days throwing out the accusation that ted cruz's father is involved in the kennedy assassination. donald trump needs to show people he is worthy of their support. i t

donald trump is in the building. presumably, they're in the same room together having that meeting right now. the first of two meetings taking place in that building this morning. we'll sneak a quick break in. vin weber, friend of paul ryan is still with us and will join us again n we'll keep watching that swiituation. an historic day, historic morning in american politics. pick 3 of 9 all-new creations for $15.99. like baked lobster alfredo chimichurri shrimp and crab cakes bursting with crab meat. just hurry in before it ends. ♪ everything your family touches sticks with them. make sure the germs they bring home don't stick around. use clorox disinfecting products. because no one kills germs better than clorox. when a moment turns romantic why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if y

but it's a big day for donald trump. he hasn't had a relationship with these folks in washington at all. he hasn't been a politician. he's been a businessman and been on the other side of the aisle trying to buy influence with them. but now he's got to try to work together and whether or not they find a way to bridge that gap, we're going to have to wait and see. >> we just got something in, a joint statement. we just got a joint statement now from house speaker paul ryan and donald trump. it reads in part, the united states cannot afford another four years of the obama white house, which is what hillary clinton represents. that is why it is critical at a republicans unite around our shared principles and advance a conservative agenda and do all we can to win this fall. with that focus, we had a great conversation this morning while we were honest about our few differences, we recognize that there are many important areas of common ground. we will be having additional discussions but remain confident there's a great oppo

donald trump. [ cheers and applause ] and if you look over the last month or six weeks at every national poll, bernie sanders defeats donald trump by big numbers. [ cheers and applause ] but it is not only national polls where we defeat trump by bigger numbers than secretary clinton. it is state poll after state poll after state poll. [ cheers and applause ] just in the last day, just in the last day, two national polls have us beating trump by bigger margins than secretary clinton. four state-wide polls. in pennsylvania, in pennsylvania, ohio, florida, and new hampshire, and every one of those polls we beat trump or do better against trump than does secretary clinton. [ cheers and applause ] but the reason that our campaign is the strongest campaign against trump is not just the polls, it is that our campaign is generating the energy and the enthusiasm that we need to have a large voter turnout in november. [ cheers and applause ] democrats and progressives win national elections when the voter tu

donald trump's money. >>> and later, a special last word about one of donald trump's new favorite words. pochahantas. >> i'm so honored. >> donald trump has reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the republican nomination. >> unbound, to now bound, i think you're bound, you promise you're bound, everybody. >> i want real party unity. >> i think reince priebus has done a good job. >> president obama talking about how world leaders. >> they're rattled, and for good reason. >> when you rattle someone, that's good. >> this guy is such an [ bleep ]. >> donald trump agreed to debate me and i look forward to that. >> oh, i would love to debate bernie. he is a dream. >> i look forward coming together to unify our party to stop donald trump. >> you have to be wealthy in order to be great. i'm sorry to say it. >> the remarks being made, he is either ignorant of world affairs or a cavalier attitude. >> america first, folks, make america great again. america first, make america great again. >> this is the last word on campaign 2016. >> today, the inevitable became official after the numbe

nothing to do with donald trump? know enough about donald trump, i know three things about his economic policy. if your husband that the democratic party, would you think that was a big story? mary: it would be a juicy story for me and contribute mightily to marital tranquility. [laughter] never drop -- donald trump? dan: i will never before donald trump. >> what separates you from paul ryan? thought that the primary would go on for a while, no one expected ted cruz to drop out dues and night. the notion -- to drop out tuesday night. , on tuesday, it donald trump accuses ted cruz's father about being involved with the assassination of john f. kennedy and wednesday, people are outraged that paul ryan has not endorsed the person who has done these things is absurd. chris christie needs to know, he will call paul ryan, the idea that chris christie is the bridge to paul ryan is amusing. the idea that people need to find out what the problem is, this guy is a problematic guy, people have concerns. >> so much to talk about

that intraparty tension between donald trump's policies and d d donald trump's proposals and where the party is from a platform perspective. not just with house leadership but senate leadership as well. broad looks at conservative principles. wanting him to commit to some of these broad conservative principles like limited government and additional talk about bringing republicans together, because of deep divide, on taxes and for example, nato and on foreign policy. there's a number of areas in which trump and some of the base of the party die verge. that is an area we'll need to address, probably starting today. we don't expect that to wrap up as we look for donald trump to come out and speak to folks. as we get ready to chat with speaker ryan set to begin an hour from now. >> hallie jackson on the move there at the capitol as well. hallie, thanks, i want to bring in rick tyler. former spokesman for the ted cruz presidential campaign. again, i apologize in advance if they do decide to have some sort of impromptu news conference, we'll go to that. paul ryan has just as much at stake as

trump yet, his refusal to get behind donald trump. what do you make of it? >> i think this is just sort of a temporary message he's trying to send on behalf of his caucus. i think it's going to be a te tempest in a teapot because in a week or so they'll be linked together arm in arm and the reason is they have to be. paul ryan, if he wants to get any of his agenda passed in the future, he needs a republican president to sign those bills. trump, if he wants his agenda to move forward in congress, he needs someone who can cooperate with him, an ally as speaker. so neither one of them can afford to alienate the other anymore. >> who do you think represents more of the republican party now though? donald trump just finished a very long primary process with more votes than any other candidate. is it him or is it the speaker? >>. >> well, i'd have to say it's donald trump. the speaker represents the republican caucus in congress but he's not running in various states. i like to think of the republican party as a bunch of segments. think of

donald trump saying, the voters have spoken. a number of lawmakers are in that camp as well, rick tyler, saying you have to go with the will of the voters. this is the person they have chosen. how much will that argument -- how important will that argument be with lawmakers and those rank and file republicans? >> well, it's a strong argument and you can certainly see the rationale that donald trump has. so he's going to continue to say that. but, look, the republican party, this capitol behind me under reconstruction is a bit emblemmatic of what's going on in the republican party right now. it was an exciting day here in washington, but not a lot was accomplished. donald trump and paul ryan are literally 180 degrees out of phase. they're out of phase on policy issues like entitlement reform, like social security, and vision -- ryan's rigs is so much different than trump. ryan envisioned bringing the party under an intellectual conservativism for growing the economy, getting us out of debt, having enough money to save and secure

it is donald trump. and the party has to get used to that. >> that would mean as we approach the convention, one of the things you do at the convention is write a platform, the divisions between ryan and trump whether it's medicare, social security, entitlement front, immigration another big divide right there. >> yeah. >> if what you're saying is true, then that means paul ryan has to swallow hard here. >> on some things, yes, but so will donald trump, and that's going to be the -- sort of the mitigated part here is how much each of these gentlemen come to a spot where they can make it a sweet spot. it may be bittersweet, in other words, they give a little bit and get a little bit but that's what paul ryan is talking about today. let me get to know donald trump and he get to know me and then we can begin to talk about and address some of the stickier policy issues. look, you won't have a whole resale rewriting of the platform. that's not what donald trump wants to do but when you get down to tpp or trad

donald trump is our guy. that's what he was doing this week and that's what you saw in john boehner's endorsement. if he becomes the nominee, donald trump will be the candidate of john boehner, of mitch mcconnell, of the republican establishment and deals he makes will undermine everything. you know, if donald trump becomes the nominee, he'll become a totally different candidate tomorrow and a couple months from now all those people will be looking off saying what happened to that wall? >> that was definitely the message that ted cruz was telling those protesters yesterday and that is not a message they were at all open to taking. so we'll see what indiana voters say about that. you said silly, barry. i want to talk about something else i think we can put it maybe into the silly category. donald trump is now pushing a "national enquirer" story, a story that claims cruz's father was with jfk's killer a few months before jfk was assassinated. donald trump himself, he says it's ridiculous that no one is talking

>> i think jan is a better spokesperson for donald trump than donald trump. i think the trump campaign would do well to put her out more than him. it would be tough to be donald trump's nominee. i'm curious to talk to jan after the whole thing is over and after i think -- after there's an independent republican president and an independent wins for the first time in a couple centuries in america and then jan can tell stories what it was like to be on the trump/brewer ticket. >> in today's meetings, trump sat down with a few congressional republicans who had been mentioned on vp picks. this was last night what he said about you as a possible vp pick, governor. here it is. >> jan brewer's been fantastic. she has been so fantastic. i won so big her territory, we won so big. she's a fabulous woman. >> what's your reaction? >> well, certainly i appreciate him speaking so nicely about me, but there are a lot of people out, there men and women, that are high live qualified that would be great candidates. >> who would you like to see? like who? >> i have no inside in

. >> white men hate donald trump. that is what you're talking bg. >> white men, he is crushing it with white men. >> he is. and i think the thing that is interesting is listen, i do think hillary has i a little bit of a likability gap. you get into the election, again, i think the support for donald trump is a lot more enthusiastic. there is a lot more on his side than hillary's side. he is doing very well with white men. >> you know what it is? i'll give you this, bernard. he needs to do a little better with hispanics. >> a little better? >> not much. no. no. he doesn't need that much. >> he is in the high teens. if he gets in the mid-20s, he has it down. >> the next thing is let's put up a mosquito net and ban zika. >>> bernie sanders refusing to drop out of the presidential race and he could be the greatest gift donald trump could have asked for. we're back with this with this special edition of the o'reilly factor. ritin. with the #1 prescribed ingredient. and nothing is more effective at relieving your sneezing,

and donald trump moved on. and so i think we're seeing -- i know we always say this -- a different donald trump than the one that would have taken to twitter, because he's not running against anybody anymore. >> no twitter tirade but a statement that a traditional politician, but what about the rest of the campaign? how are they reacting? >> i think tonight at a rally our sarah murray reported that while trump didn't say anything, corey lewandowski was gaggling to reporters off-camera, and reporters were asking him whether this was a slap in the face to donald trump, and he said, look, there's the leader of the republican party. and he pointed to donald trump. it's not paul ryan. it's donald trump. >> who is it? who is it? >> that's a big question. it depends on which vision you embrace, and i don't think this is an argument that republicans really want to be having right now. but i do think at some point, and i was speaking to somebody this evening who's a friend of paul ryan's, and he said that he believes ev

do not go to donald trump. it is a sign, sanders once he is out of the race, he is going to be a firm anti-trump. >> david, you realize, all of us realize, hillary clinton lately barely even mentions bernie sanders. she's really railing against, devoting all attention to donald trump. she has a delicate line to walk, she needs the enthusiastic, young bernie sanders supporters to get elected. >> clinton wants to send a message that this thing is over, if not quite mathematically over, and she's the general election candidate going ahead. for sanders, like we were talking about, sanders wants to say look, i'm the better candidate the candidates can put up against trump. either way, i think they had their fill of going after each other, but at the same time clinton. >> the super delegates are here to stay. 15% of all democratic delegates are superdelegates. do you think down the road they might revise that? >> i interviewed nancy pelosi today. she said to me flat out unsolicited that she can't stand the idea of su

donald trump is saying the truth. i am watching how the party is reacting to what he is saying, or bernie sanders. nobody wants to listen. accept theear them fact that the people are not policies that their are taking our country in the wrong direction. said the truth. bernie sanders has been saying the truth. them are listening. they are assessed with maintaining power and money that they are a dig did too. there is where the problem is. is joe from florida. discussing whether the party can unite in november. up next, barney, washington, d.c.. you oppose donald trump. do you think unity as possible? will have a divided united party. people are going to unite, but not going to agree with anything with donald trump. let's not mince words. he is a biggest -- eight big it and a racist. he has no policy. he makes it up as he goes. on the fear of the people and he gives the people what they want. host: what would you like to see speaker ryan do? he is stressing the need for real unity. what role would you like to see him t

donald trump is deceiving. he is playing you for a trump. >> and you see there a classic encounter with trump supporters. when he points out donald trump's own history of employing undocumented workers, he doesn't even try to defend, the trump supporter simply changes it to donald trump being a self-funding candidate and ted cruz didn't bother then to correct that false hood. he has collected $12 million in campaign contributions. the ted cruz campaign, apparently set a record yesterday for youngest person ejected from a political rally. apparently, all donald trump supporters sound like donald trump, including the 10-year-olds. a 10-year-old boy that ted cruz event last night yelled out something that the microphones couldn't pick up but the audience could hear and we will now show you that moment using subtitles. >> apparently there's a young man who's having some problems. thank you, son. you know, i appreciate you sharing your views. one of the things that hopefully someone has told you is that children sho

sounds a lot like donald trump. so where does he stop short? is it temperament? is it maybe he'll say things that are kind of controversial but doesn't go over the line like donald trump has? >> cuban said to "the washington post" that he believes he could outtrump donald trump. but he said like so many other people we spoke to, it's too late. the deadlines are fast approaching. texas, its deadline to get on the ballot has already passed. >> is there anybody realistic that you would see when it comes to these names, anybody out there they would go to and that they would say, okay, let's do this, let's make this a reality? >> some retired military figures, like general mcchrystal and general jim mattis. who's realistic? probably a former senator, someone like ben sasse or john kasich. but the person behind all these talks who's most intriguing is former governor mitt romney. he's the one who's make get overtouove overtures to sasse and to kasich. >> some of these are commissioning private polling, trying to line up s

absolutely not donald trump. >> thank you all very much. >>> outfront next, how does donald trump get to the white house? election expert larry sabado on why it may be out of trump's control. wait until you see this electoral map. >>> and among those supporting donald trump, the butler. we'll have more on that and whether that will hurt him with voters. that's coming up after this. i'm terrible at golf. he is. people say i'm getting better. no one's ever said that. but i'd like to keep being terrible at golf for as long as i can. he's just happier when he's playing. but he's terrible. for the strength and energy to keep doing what you love, try new ensure enlive. only patented ensure enlive has hmb, plus 20 grams of protein to help rebuild muscle. and its clinically proven formula helps you stay you. oh. nice shot. new ensure enlive. always be you. we're out ink.nk. not ink. getting ink doesn't have to be painful. staples just cut ink and toner prices. add in our 110% price match guarantee and our prices are unbeatable. staples. make more happen. the call just came in. she's about to

jack kemp is the great min mentor for paul ryan donald trump is donald trump. you have no idea where he will go. the whole alliance could be gloun up by one tweet. as i said before, you will be hositage to everything that donald trump says. you played the cuts earlier. you can agree, come up with a tax plan or something like that what are you going to do with the 10 million illegal immigrants he is going to deport. the muslim ban, or vaccines or conspiracy? this will be the most complicated relationship we have seen in politics. >> thank you for joining us. appreciate it. coming up. in the first 100 days of a possible trump presidency, what would happen with the trump wall that mexico is supposed to pay for. what would happen with the muslim ban? what would it mean for race relations in america? up next, someone who is on everyone's list for a possible democratic vice presidential nomination. hey! this is lloyd. to prove to you that the better choice f him is aleve. he's agreed to give it up. ok, but i have 30 acres to cover by sundown. we'll be with him all da

they weren't donald trump's secrets. trump never had anything to do with writing the curriculum. >> it's admitted in a 2012 deposition, portions of which were released by cnn. the president of trump university michael sexton, stated under oath none of our instructors at the live events were handpicked by donald trump. sexton was asked did anybody at trump organization work on the curriculum, his answer, they did not. as for trump's secrets of success that were supposed to be taught, sexton said that we cover investing with foreclosures. bob is suing donald trump for his $35,000 paid in tuition says there were other so-called secrets that really weren't. >> for example, they would put up a slide and say if you want to know about your tax deductions as a business, go to irs.gov. >> that was the tip. >> yes. if you want to find property go to trulia.com. >> another great tip. >> another website like that. and i just was shaking my head all the time. i kept hoping that the next retreat i would take that i would get some know

here's donald trump again. here's donald trump again, put it up. 2% true. 9% mostly true. 43% false. all right, so that's trump. and here's clinton. secretary clinton is 23% true. 27% mostly true. 11% false. that was a number of statements that they have fact checked. but this is the overall one that we have. thank you very much, producer, which is maria. thank you very much. the voice in my head every night. >> and would, i'll ask you, do you think we could do that in real time in the presidential debates? is that possible? >> i'm sorry, anything's possible, it's technology. finish your state. how do you respond to those numbers? and to kayleigh's point, it depends on oversampli oversampling. >> i'm one of those people, i like to think i'm not that cynic cynical, but we know all politicians lie, but no politician has lied more than trump as you pointed out in the modern age. i think the truth is important. we play these beltway games, who's up, who endorsed who. but truth is important, policies are important.

he is very hawkish, unlike donald trump. and he actually says in this statement, lindsey graham, that he gave trump his assessment of the fight against isis and that he believes that donald trump asked him good questions. so you want evidence of the thaw among republicans when it comes to donald trump and reality setting in, the shock wearing off, that's it. >> that is it. for him to say good question. it is a stunning development for sure. thank you very much. truly when you consider what lindsey graham has said about donald trump. "outfront" now republican -- you said you'd never vote for grown up. you said we actually need a grown up in the white house not a 3-year-old. you heard what lindsey graham had to say. did you change your mind today? >> i think that donald trump is trying as hard as he can to unify as many people as he can in the republican party. he's got a lot of work to do with many of us because his language has been so incendiary and flat out childish. i can say certainly he's not going to be able to get me

donald trump knows how to win. now it's going to be donald trump against, i presume hillary clinton, although neil, watch that california primary. if that california primary goes. >> some of those who have raised issues on trump, they have raised character and that kind of stuff. do you mr. vice president, despite your support, have those same reservations, those same concerns? >> i'm looking for a candidate in the general election and donald trump is going to now run a general election campaign, and it will be different than the primary. he figured out how to win the primary, and he did it without an open convention, you and everybody else was predicting he was going to have this open convention. and you and everybody else was wrong, we're not going to have an open convention. he's looking at hillary clinton, or bernie sanders, he's figuring out how to win that election, don't count him out. >> people are calling attention to his pivots, they need more explanation, but he's in the changing his mind, whether or not

their standard bearer at the moment is donald trump. >> reporter: but the divide over donald trump inside the republican party is growing. earlier today, dick cheney, the former vice president, announced he will support donald trump but jeb bush at just the last hour released a statement saying he won't vote for trump. as for what's happening with house speaker paul ryan, trump did schedule a meeting with the speaker later on next thursday, wolf, and as i heard from a trump aide earlier today, and the view of this one aide, he feels that trump and paul ryan will be old friends as he put it, by the end of next week. that's a pretty optimistic view. we'll wait and see. >> we will. jim acosta reporting for us, thank you. donald trump is about to speak at a rally in omaha, nebraska. there you see him over there, cnn's jeff zeleny is on the scene. what type is tone likely to take in the middle of this major feud with the party establishment? >> reporter: wolf, that is something everyone is watching here. he has been slightly more diplomatic, more presidential but we got him in a tweet he sent

donald trump. and we're going to have to see, will he say okay i'm going to limit those contributions to $100? i'm going to make them $27 like bernie sanders. will they be $1,000? he still has to be able to make the case he is not bought and sold. that's the case he was making against his opponents. he has been making it against hillary clinton. >> individual contributions can go up to $2700, something like that. >> will he limit that? will he make it lower? i mean we're going to have to wait and see. because they are going to need the money to compete with hillary clinton. >> do you want to weigh in on that? >> i think that's right. if you look at $2012, a billion a piece, mitt romney and barack obama in terms of running for the white house. donald trump is in i think a bit of a pickle here, not only in term of the branding and what it means now for his brand that he is going to raise money. but he is also behind because you have had hillary clinton and the democrats really shaking the money for -

he's okay with donald trump's plans. he trusts donald trump. we talked to bill cross tokrist. he says there's a 50/50 chance there's a viability third-party candidate in the general election. that's pretty high. as a trump supporter, what's your level of concern right now that that could really happen? >> i don't think that's going to happen at all. you know, what's fascinating to me is if you go back to that first debate when they were pushing donald trump very hard to take the pledge, and he was very honest an his reservations, and then he ended up skcoming around, signing the pledge to support whoever the republican nominee is and that was the establishment's way to try to force him into a box when the establishment thought there's no way but an establishment candidate can win, and now that that's not the case, you have the establishment running around and trying to find these third parties. jeb bush, who has proven to not be a man of his word who always had said he would support the nominee is now out there saying he's looking for a third-party option. he won't support the

yes, donald trump was asked about this. why is this a topic or line of attack that donald trump feels is effective against ted cruz? >> i don't think it was really a line of attack. as you heard in mr. trump's comments he was talking about the ridiculousness and absurd y absurdities. we didn't hear the actual comments that came from senator cruz's father. this was enlikened to the earth is going to fall apart and destruction of america if you support don't trump. this is on the cusp of senator cruz himself saying yesterday there was evil and he wanted the voters of indiana to stop the evil, calling trump voters evil for crying out loud not to mention the other reports, senator cruz was anointed by god to lead the country and would fulfill a mormon prophesy and mr. trump was repeating things hovering over the cruz campaign. >> you're saying he's pointing out radical statements because there's also this separate issue of the conspiracy issue from the "national enquirer." >> again, he was being asked about senator cruz's fathe

listen to donald trump. this plays into the message he's been using all along, which is the system is rigged, and this would not happen to a normal person. a normal person would not get off. i think you'll hear various versions of that, as we go through. say, okay, yeah. so they cleared hillary clinton. well, that's because the system is rigged. >> and it loses some of its punch if, in fact, the fbi publicly comes out and says we found no inkaformation she willfully broke the law. something definitive could work? >> for the clinton team, good news. the notion they'll actually get past it. for genuinely undecided voters, open to facts, this is probably also good to let them have some information to make a disbased on, but in the kangaroo courts of right-wing talk radio, for donald trump, for the republican party, i don't think it make as difference whatsoever. they have already convicted her, decided schae done something criminal and i don't think they're talking points will change one bit based on whatever f

>> donald trump is being donald trump. his supporters are saying -- he's saying what they're thinking. there is a bias in the press in many cases. people like yourself, wolf, you're fair, you're honest. he's not referring to you. there is a bias. i've been attacked myself. i've been in politics six, seven years now. so i let it just come off my shoulders. donald is new to this. he's taking it personally. what we do know, if you throw a punch at donald, he's going to punch back. when the country is focused on going in the wrong direction, hillary is not a change agent. donald is the change agent we need. with trump supporters, he is saying what they are thinking. the silent majority is saying it's about time somebody called it out for what it is. he may be blun or even more than a little blunt in what he's saying but i actually think america, where 80% know we're going in the wrong direction, are in fact applauding donald trump for calling it out like it is. >> don't you think if reporters are doing their jobs with they're

donald trump has the same problem. the difference is, he's playing right to it. >> bill -- >> except when he wins. then everything's all right. >> please, please, i think he very much understands where he's driving the car, if you will. he wants a party that is much more open, that is back to its roots, that reflects the working class and middle class americans, and he believes, as i believe, that the democratic party today does not, it's lost -- >> where has he been? >> that he's lost his way. but bernie is in no way -- i keep coming back to this. you know, inciting violence. he just wants to get them involved in politics. that's why 86% of young people support him. they're not out there throwing rocks. they're not out there burning buildings. they're involved in the political process. they're voting. this is good for the party. >> let me bring some of the people in this conversation. john? >> i think we started this question a long time ago. what does bernie want. i don't think he knows. if you talk to people in his

donald trump tweeted this out. he said, i look very much forward to meeting with paul ryan and the kbgop party leadership thursday in d.c. together we'll meet the dems at all levels. do you think these big donors are waiting to see what happens with trump's thursday meetings? are you waiting as well? does this change anything for you? will it? >> not really. in 2012, we lost eight out of nine of the swing states. this time around, you know, i think we have a great chance to win in certain states and i think you're actually going to see this become a wave election. on the other side, you know, the winner tonight of the democratic primary is bernie sanders. the energy is with him, but he won't be the nominee. on our side, the energy is with dr donald trump. i think you'll see some coattails of an effect of his being the nominee. >> eric beach, thank you very much. i would watch the tv, because these guys here have a lot to say, have a big reaction to what you said, so i would stick around for it. i appreciate it. lot

>> i don't think the iranians fear donald trump at all. donald trump is full of bluster. there is nothing to back up. you can disagree with the agreement with iran and there are strong reasons to disagree with it. but so far, it has been effective. and iran has complied with the agreement. and iran has denuclearized. >> adam, we just heard this week that rhodes, the senior adviser to president obama, said guess what, all that stuff about the iran deal that we told you, we were just saying that. >> i can't believe i'm hearing this from david. here is a country, iran, that says death to america and we give them cash in return. this isn't a policy of strength. this is a policy of capitulation and retreat. i think americans by and large have had it. they want a leader to stand up and make america feel something again. and the nra, by the way, donald trump got this endorsement today, almost six months after the election that took mitt romney took all the way to the election to get this blessing. there is something going on. he is commanding the conversation. >> we'll leave it

donald trump is spot-on. we don't want to have taxpayer money to go to puerto rico to bail them out. i don't want wisconsin taxpayers to spend my money there. this is a bill we're going to put down tomorrow. we're going to put in a control board to get the finances under control but number two, they have no mechanism for restructuring so we're going to allow a forum for which the bondholders on the island can negotiate their debt. if they can't come to a joint resolution, they can access the courts and have the courts help them resolve the debt. it's true, they have too much debt. what you see is when you have massive debt, it creates a lack of investment on the island, which creates poverty. there's 45% poverty rates on the island of puerto rico. if we don't act right now, that is going to only get worse. more people are going to flee the island and come to the mainland. and so i'm hopeful that we're going to get a bipartisan bill that comes out of the committee and out of the house that will go to the senat

but donald trump to win a general election, in the republican primary, donald trump got 10 million votes. that's a small microcosm of what he needs to be president of the united states. barack obama got 66 million votes to be the president. so this fly by night, fly by the seat of his pants, in interviews, that's not going to work in a general election. there is going to have to be some there there. he'll have to have a ground game. and he'll have to focus on data. >> the thing i'll be watching is how long is she a disciplined candidate trying to keep him in that frame of being a loose cannon. the other part of it is, she can -- she tends to look programmatic when she's saying it, where as donald trump looks like a master brander when he's putting his opponents -- that is the dynamic i want to watch first few steps around the ring with these two. >> it is worth noting too, bakari had a good point, donald trump doing a fly by night, television shows, basically running a communications presidential campaign. basically media. however, he's now plugging into the republican national committee

campaign as well as donald trump individually. we do not know where donald trump is heading from here. but, he's leaving this law firm and he left that meeting over in rnc and he met with top gop senators and before that the big meeting at the rnc. and on first street here with the meeting with paul ryan. halie jackson is still standing by, halie, did he say anything? >> reporter: he waved at me standing outside here but that was about it. he has done that all morning. it is interesting. we heard as our colleagues pointed out, we heard from chairman priebusnd paul ryan but have not heard of donald trump. you can see secret service just kind of dispersing it at this point. he was with his aids, all walking down this building. trump's legal team he's meeting with his lawyer apparently. we are working to find out what happened inside this building. trump is uncharacteristically is quiet how this went. he's somebody that often likes to speak to the media. i would not be surprise at some point of the next 24 or 48 hours that we hear so

embrace donald trump. here's what paul ryan said today when asked about tomorrow's meeting. >> to pretend we're unified without unifying, we go into the fall at half strength. there's plenty of room for different policy disputes within this party. we come can from different wings of the party. the goal is to unify the various wings of the party along common principles. we have an obligation to merge around our common principles to offer this country a choice and better way forward. that's going to take some party unification. >> donald trump told "the new york times" he has no plans to change anything about his campaign. he said, quote, you pin the pennant and now you're in the world series. you going to change? people like the way i'm doing. those are his words. i think i have a mandate from the people. paul ryan met today with what might be the smallest caucus in congress, the trump caucus, a group of only 13 members of the house of representatives. joining us now, someone who was in that meeting today.

she covers the donald trump campaign. what would you say was the highlight and lowlight of the trump campaign? you guys areek, talking about the taco bowl. that can be considered in many corners the lowlight of the campaign this week. if you're going to play devil's advocate, the highlight could potentially be his response to paul ryan, and in the campaign manager's response to paul ryan. donald trump said that he would endorse paul ryan, embracing his outsider status. i spoke with corey lewandowski last night. and i asked him what he thought of the speaker's words and his lack of coming out to endorse him, and he pointed to his boss standing under the stage on these bright lights, captivating the attention of about 10,000 people who were at the west virginia rally last night, and he pointed and said, that's the leader of the republican party. and in some ways, that can be considered -- i know it is not a popular opinion in washington -- but can be considered by the voters, a highlight of this campaign, that he has embrac

how will they support donald trump? will they support donald trump? how much will they support donald trump and there are already divisions some in the u.s. senate who have come out and said they oppose donald trump through this process. will they change their minds because again, if you're not supporting donald trump in the general election, you're supporting a democrat as a republican so what will the critique be? will it be a critique on policy or all of donald trump? these are the questions republicans have been going through for some time now but now that it's clear donald trump is going to be the nominee, it's one they have to reckon with. >> it's also interesting rich, when you consider john kasich's words that nobody gets to the white house from the republicans who didn't take the state of. oh. you need that to get the nomination so on and so forth and he had on his own state . the one state that he did win and now you have to question would he want to throw his support behind somebody that that person could kind of claim ohio in a way? >> tha

many are feeling abandoned by donald trump. a twitter war between donald trump and a prominent evangelical today. charles: donald trump getting some pushback from some evangelicals -- he said the gop was not the party conservatives. i want to bring back trump spokesperson katrina pierson. donald trump saying russell moore is a terrible representative evangelicals saying a nasty guy with no heart. but there is a coalition of 0 christian leaders asking people to reject donald trump because of racial and religious demagoguery. >> the he are gel cals i know make an astounding case on why evangelicals should support trump. when looking across the world. we are not look for a sunday school teacher. we are look for a commander. someone who is not hostile to christians in this country, and there is a clear option for that. charles: donald trump won the overwhelming majority of evangelicals in the southern state and other state as well. he was able to capture a large lion's share of that vote. and there are prominent leaders til resisti

has donald trump been properly vetted? >> he is in the process of being vetted and he's only been a politician for the last ten to 11 months. this is going to be a clear contrast in vision, in philosophy for the future of the american people. and i'm sorry, tamron, but the average person, even women, they're not okay with isis infiltrated syrian refugees posting up in their neighborhoods. they're not okay with pushing away the american dream for their children to illegal aliens. they are not okay with their social security benefits going to people who should not be in this country. there will be a contrast and those numbers will go down for donald trump. >> part of the -- just quickly here, one of the things regarding vetting of donald trump has been the audit that he says he's experiencing and that's why he's not released his taxes at this point. is he prepared now that he is the presumptive nominee, likely nominee, to at least allow that vetting part of the process to move forward since he is able to release his tax info

donald trump 48. big win statewide and this gives ted cruz nine still there is no evidence at the moment he's going to get those. i'm being conservative to keep the numbers. we'll watch as this plays out. you see donald trump at 1005 you might add nine more a. pattern is developing. let's assume the pattern persists and start with senator cruz and say he continues to win nebraska next week and continues to win in the west. we'll stop there for now. is there -- anybody wants to argue donald trump on the last day to win new jersey? that's winner take all. this is technical because they are unbound. i'll come back to that. you come out here, there is a poll that has donald trump leading in oregon at 1107. let's say he wins new mexico. maybe john kasich has the last stand there and he's running out of money. in this case here, let's say ted cruz -- let me come back here. there we go. let's give ted cruz washington state and come down to the final state, california under this scenario that gave donald trum

donald trump is relatively new. when you look at both of them, they both have very high infavorables. we know we don't like hillary clinton, but we just kind of met donald trump on the political side. he's new to us. he's different. >> have you sized him up, so to speak? i have this exclusive interview with louise sunshine. she talks about her perspective, her working experience with hem, that in her words, he respects women that he wanted to see a trajectory for women. he helped her in her ascension. he was a mentor. he was a leader. flip side to that, you hear from other reports from women who've had experience with him who say that, you know, he was classless in many ways and that he was less than a gentleman and he wasn't respectful. have you sized him up or made an assessment about the presumptive republican nominee donald trump and whether you like him as a woman? >> i think i'm waiting to see more of donald trump. as we see more and more of him -- he obviously has had women in his company with very high posit

donald trump comes out swinging, at key republican leaders. his message to speaker paul ryan, the day after ryan snubbed him. >>> plus, trump getting a big boost from former vice president dick cheney. why cheney is going against his two former bosses. >>> and president obama taking on trump tonight. he says this election is not a reality show. let's go "outfront." >>> good evening, everyone. i'm kate bolduan. donald trump taking on the growing list of republicans saying they will not back the presumptive nominee. and just tonight, that list now includes trump's former rivals, jeb bush and lindsey graham. listen. >> no, but i won't talk about jeb bush. i will not say -- i will not say he's low energy. i will not say it. i will not say it! and i won't talk about lindsey graham. he fails with his campaign horribly. he then endorses somebody else. and then he endorses bush. and then he endorses everybody. he's like bad luck. >> but one person not forgotten but also not exactly in the same line of fire, house speaker, paul ryan, who says he cannot

now they've got donald trump. why am i for donald trump? for two decades plus my job has been to listen to voters. they've spoken loudly and clearly. i don't know who i am to rebuff the will of over 10 million people who voted for this man in the primaries. in some cases he scooped up all the delegates in states where he polled at 1% one short year ago. you have hillary clinton for whom the field was completely cleared. she can't vanquish bernie sanders. he's going to beat her again in two very different states tomorrow. donald trump the 17th choice out of 17 candidates, at 1% when he started, and now is the nominee. you have to give people their hard. i've swallowed hard on a lot of candidates. i didn't like removing the number one issue that helped republicans win in 2010 and 2014 and 2012 because we nominated the guy that gave us the political blueprint for obamacare through romneycare. and i have to give it to the voters here. i'm with dick cheney, bob dole, newt gingrich and bob bennett and growing people in the house and senate. >> th

he was donald trump and hat is what the republicans wanted. >> this is a huge day for donald trump and a big day to reflect on disruption in american politics. defined by tea party and by voters who said cut spending, say no to obama. now they have picked as their nominee two mid term elections defined by ridged anti-obama, anti-taxes strict conservatism. they picked a man who says economy has done better under democrats and has been in favor of single payer health care. donald trump is the nominee of the party of lincoln and reagan especially after what we have seen in the last five years tells you there is something remarkable, different and big going on. >> now comes the big test because throughout all of that time this last decade of the republican party i think it started in the george w. bush administration. what we saw the party bucking the establishment on immigration, certainly on the bailout in the end of the george w. bush administration and then the obama era and tea party is defining thing where all that energy is and whole conversation inside the republican party is how d

trump and donald trump alone. the next question is we'll watch for the results to see if there is buyers' remorse or a protest vote. donald trump looks for a big win and looks to advance his march. on the democratic side, bernie sanders expecting a win. the question is how big because if it's a close win, it won't do much to erase hillary clinton's lead. bernie sanders can claim he's closing the gap and remember the 2008 democratic primary. almost eight years ago to the day look what senator clinton did against senator obama. he went on to be the nominee. most expected at this point he would be the nominee but this was a late season victory, if you will, for hillary clinton and allowed her to say hey, i can stay in this race. this is what senator sanders was looking for, something like that and something like this to win the entire state to say sure, my math is hard but i'll stay in. let's get to that and assume senator sanders has a big night tonight. the question is as he makes the argument, i'll continue on to
