that was of course sarah palin. talking with us friday night after her speech at eight milwaukee republican party fish fry where she stood in for her candidate, donald trump. joining us is the former and , and therump advisor clintons war on women, roger stone. thank you for coming to join us. what is the biggest mistake donald trump has made as a candidate in the last week? roger: that's a question i'm not going to answer. i don't understand the concept of calling for kasich to get out of the race. i think trump benefits from divided opposition. i don't see delegate votes for kasich moving to trump. i think that would be more likely to go with the establishment candidate, who is now ted cruz. that voters in wisconsin are going forward who are attracted to kasich, who is , theommon core, nafta expansion of medicaid. i don't see them being attracted to trump. want to ask you a question about that clip we just watched with sarah palin. decided to put her in there. smart move or dumb move? roger: she is popular with el

i am a fan of sarah palin, although i'm not sure if that was tina fey or sarah palin. john: she is not sure, either. roger: without polling, it's hard to say. i think donald likes her. she did give him a boost reviously. on the other hand, it's not a state where there is a logical onstituency. he is the master of the eal. if you are 300 votes ahead of everybody else, i can think of a lot of individuals who would like to be vice president and they are not necessarily people who ran previously in the cycle. i still think that puts him in the drivers seat. mark: picking a running mate who's been popular with the delegates and say vote for me on a subsequent ballot. roger: you could break it open before that, depending on your options. trump is a businessman and i think he will keep all options on the table until he decides what is best for him. it is essential to understand that without a reliable hard count, you cannot really know where you are. until the process plays out, we have the rest of the primaries and caucuses and committee meetings. it's impossible to say what

sarah palin certainly didn't help donald trump. but was there something of a metaphor in that for what donald trump is facing statewide? >> yeah. he's not gotten the warmest welcome in wisconsin. he started off the week calling into conservative talk radio and really getting hammered by the hosts who are the never trump crowd and they were very vocal about that. >> and didn't seem to know they were the anti-trump crowd. >> he seemed very taken back and told one host i'm surprised you would take a stance and endorse someone in this race and not try to be impartial. so you would think that somebody would have given him a heads up before he called in maybe that these were not exactly going to be warm arms welcoming him. >> or that republican talk radio doesn't have an opinion. michael, the former house speaker newt gingrich has praised trump in previous weeks but he told "the new york times" yesterday, i'm quoting him, it's almost as though he is so full of himself that he can't slow down and recognize that being president of the unit

let me just say this is quite different than sarah palin. now see i think sarah palin is a model for this kind of push. where you know, 53% of voters in 2012 guess what, they were women. obama won and i think it was plus 11 over romney. so you got to make a move there. now obviously donald trump has a big problem with women. so that's why ted cruz decides, hey, i'm going to bring out a strong, conservative woman with a track record in terms of -- >> the woman that was targeted by him when he deny graded her looks. >> and also on the merits. i think she stands up as a good vice presidential choice. and by all accounts they get along very well. she was a keynote speaker at cpac and talked about the importance of constitutional conservatism. i think she and ted cruz align very well. i don't think it's just the woman part. >> they'll be able to split up in the state because she can get a crowd on her own so they'll be able to cover a lot more ground. i admit it's a last-minute desperation move. but not a bad one to play. >> juan points out john

if in desperate need he would have turned to sarah palin. >> i don't think so, given the way sarah palin turned out since 2008, i don't think ted cruz wanted sarah palin's endorsement this time around, but look, we can call it an act of desperation. i look at it a different way. this is a campaign. the campaign is about strategy. this is a strategic decision. there's nothing traditional about the campaign. ted cruz looked at the situation. donald trump can call himself the presumptive nominee all he wants, but the game is still not over. he has not reached 1237, so he compares himself to ronald reagan all the time. at this point ronald reagan had 70% in 1980. >> for you the strategy is it gives delegates something else to consider. >> gives delegates something to consider, gives them a two fer. yes, ted cruz is low on resources, why not bring in someone. she's an effective surrogate for him. and remember that carly fiorina is one of the only people who ever put donald trump in his place on the debate stage after he went after her. >> that's the key. >> she's effective. >> carly fiorina i

in my life the person the marquee example is sarah palin. how much do you think media played a role in introducing sarah palin to the country and i asked that because i feel that a lot of people's first impression of sarah palin was tina fey on saturday night live and they looked at sarah palin the rest of the election has more of a comical unfit or unintelligent person as was played by tina fey to people's perceptions of the ticket and mccain as a whole. how much do you think video plays a role in shaping the vice president? >> they play a huge role which is one of the reasons you want to get these correct. you can go back and look at public polling. this was a very well received nomination initially and if you look at the coverage for the two weeks after the republican convention the race was never closer than during that period and i can only tell you the obama communications director was getting all these questions he is going to lose the women's vote in your trouble that polls are so close which we didn't think because underlying it was

does anyone who goes to that sarah palin wall rah sarah palin rally walk away going "i'm voting for trump"? i think he lost votes. he walks away from that and goes "i'm going to vote for that guy, i just learned something new." >> all you can do is base it on the reaction of the room. there was a fish fry of 1500 people. both kasich and cruz were warmly received and she was not so i don't know what's going on in their minds but she did not seem to sway a lot of people in the room. >>> after a difficult week handling questions on abortions and nuclear arms, donald trump continued to open up this weekend. nbc's katy tur learned a trump ally advised him to lay low and be patient for the news cycle to pass but despite that advice, trump kept up with a spate of interviews, one with maureen dowd of the "new york times" where he admitted tweeted unann unflattering photo of heidi cruz was a mistake, one with bob costa where he said the u.s. is headed for a national recession and trump gave three interviews that aired yesterday including one with cbs that led to another clarification on his aborti

another endorsement, of course, is that of sarah palin. sarah palin is expected to be traveling here with donald trump at all three stops in the state today, and she was there at the fish fry, which is a big political event in wisconsin, on friday. and this is what she had to say. >> i felt a lot of seriousness, which is really good, you know, in a presidential race at this stage. that seriousness is, for me, it's appreciated. i respect that. >> did they respond well, i think? >> well, i think so. i didn't get booed, you know. >> reporter: so, what we have here today is not so much of a rally as we have a town hall. you can see the folks have actual chairs to sit in. they can take in with a little less of the fervor, perhaps, that you see when people are crowded into a location where they're just standing and cheering. but we may also have the opportunity to hear some folks from the crowd here ask donald trump some questions. and i suspect based on just some of the casual conversations i've had with folks here, one of the questions will be

but i would like to say i find it quite fascinating when sarah palin is accused of being a moron and idiot and every liberal feels free to mock her wardrobe, this, that and everything about her, liberals doing this. nobody says a peep. the moment donald trump says something about the woman card, then hillary is just a god. such a double standard. >> this is a charge trump leveled at hillary clinton more than once. today he tweeted crooked hillary clinton, perhaps the most dishonest person to have ever run for the presidency is one of the all time great enablers, as i said, he used this word before, said she is not a victim. bill clinton's past is fair game. what do you say? >> couple of things. one, i want to go back to the hillary clinton interview, erin, part of it is because my dad called me earlier really upset about the term off the reservation, and i think he is right. i want to quickly address it. sometimes we allow things to slip into the vernacular without being challenged, there's a group of people that are founders of this country, native americans, and we need to be caref

sarah palin was appealing with core conservatives. people who listen to conservative talk radio, are part of not all of them tea party folks but folks who think of themselves on the right wing of the party and the right wing of american politics and she received a pretty tepid response as she spoke for donald trump it's very interesting what's happening in wisconsin. we've had a lot of rough and tumble politics over the last decade. regular elections, recall elections, protests. what you've seen develop in wisconsin is a new conservative establishment that is pretty edgy, pretty strong but also very seriously connected to the republican part yy and i think this is a place where folks who in many other states might have been interested in trump have been very much turned against him so he has a rough race. he's coming in strong, doing six appearances to win people back. >> but winning people back is the operative statement here john. what would a wisconsin loss mean in terms of his trying to get to 1237? >> it's a very serious blow. it

sarah palin was there. she tallied donald trump's business acumen as he's the man for the job in terms of president of the united states. john kasich talked about returning the spirit to the american family. while ted cruz amidst all the discord in the party talked about unifying the gop. but let's take a listen to hear their own words from last night. >> ted cruz, without a doubt, is the candidate who can both win the nomination of this party, bring the party together at the convention, and defeat hillary clinton this fall. >> this state, the men and women here, you have a platform, you have a megaphone where you are spoking not just for this state but for the entire country. >> i will put us on a path to a balanced budget, as i have in the past, with no third rails, no problems with dealing with entitlements. >> in order to work and to produce and to strive and to thrive and to really be alive, the greatest country on earth. i thank god that donald trump gets it because he lives it. >> i tell you what, al

why is he sending sarah palin. he said it would be a little bit like him coming into the lion's den. >> very interesting. on that delegate math, the way it works, it's very possible kasich could finish third statewide, but win delegates and trump gets shut out, right? >> that is possible. it's proportional, by congressional district. and this guy has been in politics, on the ground, working campaigns before going over to the other side, if you want to call it that, a few years ago, he's used to crunching these kind of numbers. his best estimate is that it ends up, trump, 3, kasich, 3, and the rest go to ted cruz. that's the way it's looking right now. >> that would be quite the sweep there for ted cruz and quite the statement against trump. chris, thanks very much. let's turn now to the democratic side. sanders looks to be heading for some victory in wisconsin. the question is, how big. which has the clinton campaign focusing, deciding to shift some of their attention away from trump in the general election and bac
