california, if you're hillary clinton and bernie sanders, we'll wait for the numbers to start coming in. the votes to start coming in. they'll be coming in shortly. 475, 475 delegates at stake in california. in montana right now, the polls closed an hour ago, 32% of the vote is in, hillary clinton has a slight lead over bernie sanders in montana, 148.6%, 46.7%, about a third of the vote is in in montana. in south dakota, a lot more of the vote is in, 87% of the vote is in, hillary clinton has a lead over bernie sanders in south dakota. 51.4% to 48.6%. 20 delegates at stake in south dakota right now. she earlier we projected was the winner in new jersey as well as new mexico, important wins, good night nor hirnt, but the biggest of all, california right now. we're standing by to start getting those numbers. once those numbers come in. we'll see if bernie sanders can upset hillary clinton in california, if he can do what he said he wanted to do desperately wanted to do. and clearly, we'll see what bernie sanders and hillary clinton could doll in california. so far states won ton

nomination. bernie sanders is making it clear this race is not over and that clinton's camp shouldn't be even thinking about declaring victory before the convention. >> there are 931 pledged delegates at stake in contests between today and june 14th. for secretary clinton to get to the magic number of 2,383, she would have to win two-thirds of the those pledged delegates. frankly, unless i am very, very mistaken, that is absolutely not going to happen. >> msnbc national reporter joins us now from san juan, puerto rico. what are the issues driving voters at the polls in puerto rico? >> well, before i set the stage in terms of the issues, i have to set the stage in terms of the vote itself. they just closed the gate. the polls are officially closed as of 3:00 p.m. if you take a look behind me, the line is extraordinarily long. they are going to be casting ballots for at least another hour here. it stretches around the tables, upstairs, and in an unseen line. there are two reasons for. this one is interest in the presidential election. when it was clinton versus obama, there we

. >> too soon? >> probably. we have live pictures from the white house right now. look at this, bernie sanders set to arrive any second now for a highly anticipated oval office meeting with president obama. the president wants unity. hillary clinton wants unity. the question is what does bernie sanders want? >> regardless of the answer, bernie sanders is still in campaign mode and forging ahead to next week's primary in d.c. he has a rally kescheduled ther tonight but will he come with a new message after today's meeting as we look at the white house. cnn's michelle kosinski is live at the white house. first question is why have they still not cut back those trees, michelle, when it really blocks our shot when we want to see what's going on? >> reporter: a very good question. you can really feel the excitement. it's almost like a state visit or maybe even more than that. there's a crowd of the world's press gathered, all eyes are focused on that western gate. we know he's arriving here any minute, which is quite early for his meeting, but bernie sanders tends to do that. remember he wa

will be our second glimpse inside that oval office between bernie sanders and president obama. just a few moments ago, senator sanders telling reporters that he's stay ing in the race at least until the dc on primary on tuesday and he plans to meet with hillary clinton soon. >> i spoke briefly to secretary clinton on tuesday night and i c congratulated here on her very strong campaign. i look forward to meeting with her in the near future to see how we can work together to defeat donald trump and create a government which represents all of us and not just the 1%. >> right now, the vermont's senator on capitol hill is ready to meet with harry reid. a live look outside the senator's office. today's steps towa-- >> it was a healthy thing for the democratic party to have a contested primary and my hope is that over the next couple of weeks, we are able to pull things together. >> on the republican side, yes, no, maybe? >> republican unity is still hanging on the balance. the presumptive nominee gop nominee, his team holding high stake talks on capitol hill. >> trump came out of nowhere an

democratic primary and they're coming in right now. so far hillary clinton has an early lead over bernie sanders and you see it there. only 3% of the vote is in 69.3% for hillary clinton and 30.2% for bernie sanders and it's campaigning through california. live pictures coming in from the community event in the city of vallejo in california and we're monitoring that and we'll have live coverage of that coming up while puerto rico offers far less delegates than california and just 60 delegates at stake in puerto rico become more important than a lot of people could have predicted because those 60 delegates are all hillary clinton would need to secure the nomination mathematically if she was to get all of those delegates. that's not easy. bernie sanders is vowing to fight all of the way to the convention floor in philadelphia in july. tonight, there could potentially have a major impact on the strategy moving forward, if -- if she were to get all 60 of those delegates. let's go to dania alexandrino. you reported people stood in line for an hour and a half if not longer. the polls have been

meeting set up for bernie sanders, sitting down moments from now with president obama as democrats look to close out the primary season and unify their party behind their standardbearer, hillary clinton. donald trump is also meeting with top gop fundraisers, looking to map out his general election strategy. welcome to the first hour of "happening now". today, i'm jon scott. heather: and i'm heather childers in for jenna lee. lots of meetings going on the one we love to be a fly on the wall? heather: yes i would. sources say president obama will not ask senator sanders in his campaign. the senator has earned the right to make his own decision on that, still sources say the president's endorsement of secretary clinton is imminent. jon: garrett penny live white house for us with the latest there. derek's? reporter: heather and john, good morning. bernie sanders spent last night home in vermont and flew down this morning, got here a little early so we are told on his way to the white house he stopped to get coffee but he is expected to show up here any minute now. at today's meeting there i

the agenda right now, the big meeting. president obama set to sit down with bernie sanders just over two hours from now. this as the democratic party tries to move on from its primary season. >> it was a healthy thing for the democratic party to have a contested primary. i thought that bernie sanders brought enormous energy and new ideas. he pushed the party and challenged them. i thought it made hillary a better candidate. >> what are they going to talk about in that meeting today? could it be the beginning of the end of sanders' bid and the start of democratic unity or something else. sanders on board the plane now to washington. chris jansing was with him and with his campaign last night. brand-new information from her on how the sanders campaign is reacting to what obama said on the "tonight show" last night and what they're expecting out of that meeting just two hours from now. >>> also on the agend areports that elizabeth warren is ready to get off the sidelines and endorse hillary clinton. warren has been one of the sharpest critics of donald trump so far. >> a small, insecure

clinton and bernie sanders together that, is one of the reasons why he has tried to stay out of the race as much as possible, not tipping the scales for either clinton or sanders. he sees himself as somebody who sanders supporters will listen to and sanders supporters will -- they like him. they're young, independent and they might appreciate him. and they will listen to him when he says time to rally around hillary clinton. as you and i have talked about a number of times, president obama is so eager to get involved in this presidential race. he is so eager to go after donald trump and try to discredit donald trump. >> no question. i thought it was interesting the way the white house phrased the idea that president obama and bernie sanders are going to meet on thursday saying specifically at senator sanders' request. you were making fun of me that i might know something that i'm not saying. i didn't. i just suspected this thing was going to start to rollout when we heard that bernie sanders is coming back to d.c. and to me, that statement from the white house signals that they're hoping

president. >> and while she may have secured the nomination bernie sanders told his supporters he is not glg anywhere. >> i am pretty good in arithmetics and i know the fight in front of us is a very, very steep fight, but we will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate. >> so while sanders says he's staying in the race until the end half of his staff will be laid off. >> garrett tenney. thank you. >> can donald trump's strategy of going to less laning states be a game changer heading to november? here now for the republican political panel fox news contributor and gop strategist mercedes flap. thank you for sticking around for us. you just heard there bernie sanders is staying in the race. he says all of the way to philadelphia but he did make a point of saying that they should not allow donald trump to get into the white house, so does that mean that donald trump will not be able to get any of his followers to cross over? >> i think if you listen to bernie sanders he usually breaks down his themes into four buckets of justices the economic justice, social justice and en

trump and hillary clinton but bernie sanders says he is staying in the race. >> clinton declaring victory in at least three out of six races. the critical primary in california not yet called, but clinton is in the lead. >> no surprises for trump with a clean sweep across all five states. >> i'm going to be your champion. i'm going to be america's champion. >> it's clear that donald trump doesn't believe we are stronger together. >> we will not allow donald trump to become president of the united states. >> to all of those bernie sanders voters who have been left out in the cold by a rixist of sutch err delegates, we welcome you with open arms. >> we're going to take a moment later tonight and the days ahead to fully absorb the history we've made here. >> next tuesday we continue the fight in the last primary in washington, d.c. >> the deal sealed for clinton with 2,497 delegates and for trump as well with 1,536 delegates. >> we'll go live to washington with a complete wrapup of the final states. garrett, good morning. >> heather and abby, good morning. hillary clinton made histor

obama and bernie sanders at the white house. these are live pictures. we're told that senator sanders should be emerging from his vehicle and walking in any minute now. we were looking at the parking lot or a parking lot not very far from the white house at this meeting. president obama is expected to call for party unity and give senator sanders what has been described as a gentle nudge to get behind hillary clinton after that grueling primary fight. in an interview that will actually air tonight on the tonight show with jimmy fallon, the president praised senator sanders and gave a preview of the meeting today. >> sanders brought enormous energy and new ideas and he pushed the party and challenged them. i thought it made hillary a better candidate and the main role i'm going to be playing in this process is to remind the american people that this is a serious job. you know, this is not reality tv. >> the president also gave a rough timeline for unifying the party. >> my hope is is that over the next couple of weeks we're able to pull things together and what happens during primary i

historic speech by hillary clinton and donald trump and bernie sanders as well. >> tonight, clinton is playing the title of presumptive democratic nominee even as she and bernie sanders fight to the last vote. >> announcer: right now from the california coast to the jersey shore it's the final super tuesday battle to the america's choice. >> we are going to unify the democratic party and stop donald trump. >> and voters in six states weigh in, the democratic front-runner has finally locked up the nomination, and is ready to spar with her republican rival, full time. >> donald trump is a fraud. >> lying hillary, she is a liar. >> tonight, in the democratic race, hillary clinton eager to put the bruising primaries behind her, hitting the presumptive gop nominee harder than ever. >> donald trump's ideas aren't just different, they are dangerously incoherent. >> bernie sanders, hoping to upset clinton in california. looking for momentum, as he vows to keep making his case all the way to the convention. >> i want you as super delegates to take a hard look at which candidate and which cam

dakota. but her challenger bernie sanders is vowing to keep fighting until the democratic convention. >> we're going to figight hard o win the primary and washington, d.c. and then we take our fight for social, economic, racial and environment all justice to philadelphia, pennsylvania. amy: we will speak with clinton backer and longtime labor organizer dolores huerta as well as bernie sanders delegate norman solomon. then to stanford law professor who has launched a recall campaign against a judge who sentenced a former stanford university swimmer to six months in jail for sexual assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster. all that and more, coming up. welclcome to d democracyow!,!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. hillary clinton has claimed the democratic presidentiall nomination. with clinton wins in california new jersey, new mexico, and south dakota, she said to be the first woman ever nominated by major party to run for the white house. with only one primary to go in the district of columbia, she has an insurmountable lead in pledged delegates

bernie sanders to take his complaints about the party's super delegates system to the convention floor in philadelphia in july. the stakes clearly incredibly high right now, and what happens tonight could change potentially the very course of the race. let's go straight to cnn's donny in san juan, puerto rico for us. did you talk to people as they left the polls? we're getting an initial trickle of votes coming in. hillary clinton is ahead, at least very early with about 2 % of the vote. what are you hearing and seeing? >> caller: good afternoon, wolf. i spoke to some of the people. surprisingly most of the people who actually voted did not want to share who they notvoted for. those who did share, it was in the majority, a lot of bernie sanders supporters. however, i do have to say that there were a lot of hillary clinton supporters, mainly older people. people who actually lived on the island and were already adults when bill clinton was president in the nie90s. they remember his administration and both president clinton and hillary clinton visiting the island on numerous occasi

. that's bernie sanders. he is not conceding, not dropping out. we have projected that bernie sanders will win the montana democratic presidential primary. that's his second win of the night. he also won north dakota. hillary clinton had three big wins tonight as well. we're still waiting for california. that's the big prize. the biggest prize of the night. that's the biggest state. of course the biggest prize of this primary season. right now hillary clinton still has a significant lead in california. you just heard bernie sanders say it would get closer. let's get a key race alert on california right now. 39% of the vote is in. her lead still approaching 400,000. hillary clinton with 1,111,000 votes. bernie sanders, 713,000 votes. 60.2%, bernie sanders. 38.7%. you heard handerson cooper, bernie sanders say he's not giving ip. he wants to continue this race not only next week in washington, d.c., the last contest with its 20 delegates, but all the way to philadelphia. that's what he said even though he knows it's a steep, very steep climb. >> the struggle continues he said. so does our pa

sending a message to bernie sanders. >> i really believe a lot of senator sanders supporters will join us in making sure donald trump doesn't get anywhere near the white house. >> donald trump, of course, giving as good as he gets. >> i am going to give a major speech on probably monday of next week, and we're going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the clintons. >> meanwhile, bernie sanders sitting down with president barack obama behind closed doors at the white house tomorrow morning. that should be interesting. the campaigner in chief telling nbc's jimmy fallon this. >> my hope is, is that over the next couple of weeks, we're able to pull things together, and what happens during primaries, you get a little ouchie. everybody does. >> a little ouchie. who better to talk about getting a little ouchie and other things than cnn's mark preston and dana bash. good evening to both of you. we miss you here in washington, d.c., mark preston. but i'm going to start with you since you're the odd man out. you're not in studio with dana and me here. let's talk ab

poll is closing, even before voting in california would be complete. and i was covering bernie sanders, he had expressed concern that the media might do its own calculation by contacting delegates, of course doing the math on voting that is already taking place and making this kind of call. for hillary clinton's campaign, it is a bit premature because secretary clinton has been wanting to drive up as much as possible voter inertest in turning out on tuesday in order, from her campaign's perspective, to get a bigger win, if in fact she is going to win california or the other states involved and wanting to show strength going into the fall season. and for the sanders' campaign, there has been concern that any call for secretary clinton might in fact encourage some voters, be there clinton or sanders voters simply to not participate. and so the campaigns have not really wanted to see this happen, even though the math has been clear for some time. certainly bernie sanders has been make an argument vigorously to re porters and to some degree supporters that he wants to see this proc

stronger together. let's go out and make that case to america. >> clinton tonight acknowledged bernie sanders for running a strong came pain and made a pitch for unity. and she slammed donald trump once more, calling him unfit to be president. clinton tonight won new jersey, new mexico, and south dakota. bernie sand erdz won north dakota. and voters are being counted in montana. and the hotly contest the state of california. let's look at the numbers right now in montana. bernie sanders is slightly ahead, 49.4% to 46% for hillary clinton. he's up by 3100 plus votes. 45,700 to 42,500. 62% of the vote in montana is in. in california, 34% of the vote is in. hillary clinton maintains very impressive lead by 400,000 votes. she has 61.8% to bernie sanders 37.1%. 475 delegates at stake in california. more than a third of the vote is n hillary clinton maintaining an impressive lead there. we're waiting for bernie sanders to speak moment airly. will he stick to his combative tone and take his fight to the convention in philadelphia or start uniting democrats against donald trump? the white hou

house briefing. this is press secretary josh earnest on this day that saw bernie sanders meeting with the president, on this day that saw the president endorse hillary clinton. let's listen in. >> -- showing him respect by inviting him to the white house and sitting down for an hour-long conversation with him. and -- and giving him the time and space that's necessary for senator sanders to make some important decisions about the future of his campaign and the future of the the movement that he's built. >> time and space, it was not much later that the actual endorsement came out. that's not much time and space. >> well, senator sanders is going to make his own decisions. when i'm referring to time and space, i'm referring to senator sanders making his own decisions about the future of his campaign based on his own preferences and based on his own schedule. president obama did the same thing. and the good news is is that both men have a strong commitment to a core set of values and principles, particularly as it relates to the importance of investing in the middle class. both men

another, bernie sander, by the way, made a little news there, something we could not interrupt and announce, that he has indeed won montana according to our projection. but bernie sanders leaving a big door open despite what we know to be the prevailing math. >> senator sanders saying tonight, that he can do the arithmetic and he recognizes that it's a steep climb, but they will fight for his -- his campaign will fight for every vote and every delegate. they will compete in washington, d.c. this time next week and they will compete and take the fight beyond washington, d.c. all the way to philadelphia, pennsylvania, as he put it. that is the same plan that he's been making all along through the second half of the primary. it takes on a very different meaning, or maybe lack thereof, now that hillary clinton has secured the democratic nomination for the president. she's the presumptive nominee. she has not only the majority of pledged delegates, but she has the support of delegates and superzel gatts combined she needs to clinch the nominations. senator sanders not conceding that at

waiting for details for the meeting happening behind me between bernie sanders and president obama. we are keeping our eye out for sn senate ersor sanders. kat katy tur and peter is with us. chris, i want to start with you, what are you anticipating coming out of this critical meeting. >> that's a good question and nobody knows. they want into this with one area of glecomplete agreement. they want to see donald trump defeated. it starts with that and the idea of bernie sanders settles along, i am going to do everything i can to defeat donald trump. having said that on the other side, there are things he wants. he wants democratic party standing for the progressive ideas that he stands for. when we arrived in burlington, don't expect him to give a lot of details about it. he's someone when he has meetings with the president, it is a private conversation. we already know from the white house and you're reporting, kristin, that we are not expecting to hear from the president today. i think if we can get a sense of his mood how he feels that meeting went if he feels the positive about

, especially right here in california. [ applause ] >> the bernie sanders campaign issued a statement saying it is unfortunate that that media in a rush to judgment are ignoring the democratic national committee's clear statement that it is wrong to count the vote of super delegates before they actually vote at the convention this summer. secretary clinton does not have and will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates. she'll be dependent on super delegates that can change their minds between now and then. kelly o'donnell has been following the democratic race for president. she's in santa monica this e evening. anymore word from the clinton or sanders campaign at this moment? >> reporter: there is a sense of anticipation but the day is wrong, if you will. both campaigns knew that it was likely this sort of a delegate math would be done but a bit of a surprise it's on the eve of the primary and not on tuesday, perhaps after new jersey is closed and i was covering bernie sanders over the last several days in california. he had expressed concern that the media might do its own calcu

for the very first time. and a lot of that is thanks to bernie sanders. who has run an incredible campaign. i had a great meeting with him this week and i thanked him for shining a spotlight on issues like economic inequality and the outsized influence of money in our politics and bringing young people into the process. embracing that message is going to help us win in november. >> and a short time later, hillary clinton tweeted the following. she wrote honored to have you with me potus. i'm fired up and ready to go. president obama and hillary clinton expected to hold their first joint campaign event this coming wednesday, it will take place in green bay, wisconsin. in the meantime it was a very busy day as well for bernie sanders here in washington, d.c. it's not over yet. now in this hour expected to meet with vice president joe biden. it will take place at the vice president's residence, naval observatory. earlier today, sanders met with president obama at the white house. the two were behind closed doors for more than an hour. and according to a sanders spokesperson, it was a

-- she's sitting by our estimate with a comfortable -- that includes the sppd factored in. bernie sanders has 1,547. that's with his super delegates factored in as well. while he's vowing to fight all the way to the democratic convention in philadelphia. what happens in the next few minutes potentially could change the race rather dramatically. let's go straight to san juan, puerto rico. do the people there, are they talking as they left the polls, are they able to give us a sense of how this vote might turn out? >> reporter: well, good afternoon, wolf. we still have not heard anything from the state electoral commission. that means we still do not have a preliminary count. it's obviously because of the visits we've done to some of the voting centers. we were inquiring and asking people who they voted for, if they wanted to share with us. and i want to tell you that demographically speaking, most of the older people, the people who were actually working during bill clinton's administration here on the island, are more inclined to voting for secretary hillary clinton. the younger g

support. to all of those bernie sanders voters who have been left out in the cold by a rigged system of super delegates, we welcome you with open arms. [cheers and applause] believe me. and by the way, the terrible trade deals that bernie was so against and he was right on that, will be taken care far better than anyone ever thought possible and that's what i do. we are going to have fantastic trade deals. we're going to start making money and bringing in jobs. [cheers and applause] now i know some people say i'm too much of a fighter. my preference is always peace, however. and i've shown that. i've shown that for a long time. i've built an extraordinary business on relationships and deals that benefit all parties involved always. my goal is always again to bring people together. but if i'm forced to fight for something i really care about, i will never ever back down and our country will never ever back down. [cheers and applause] thank you. i've fought for my family, i've fought for my business, i've fought for my employees and now i'm going to fight for you, the american people, lik

senator bernie sanders to speak. tuesday evening in west. >> welcome to america's election headquarters, hillary clinton basked in the cheers of her supporters as she became the first female nominee, a historic night, the first one have a major political party. this as fox news can project that after multiple wins tuesday night clinton will have enough pledged delegates to secure the democratic nomination. >> we've reached a milestone. first time in our nation's history that a woman will be a major party nominee. >> so now she has pledged and the super delegates as well. mrs. clinton faced a tough fight in california from senator sanders. he is expected to speak from santa monica any moment now. president obama called the senator earlier in the night to thank him for energizing the voters and we're told the two will meet on thursday. donald trump has already clinched his party's nomination and he won five more primaries and donald trump has enough bound delegates to guarantee him the republican nomination. >> he spoke earlier this evening. a different type of speech from mr

bernie sanders and donald trump. we examine the fallout tonight on "washington week." >> thanks to you, we've reached a milestone. the first time in our nation's history that a woman will be a major party nominee. [cheering] hillary clinton seizes the gold ring. she collects big endorsements. >> i don't think there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office. >> i am ready to get in this fight and work my heart out for hillary clinton to become the next president of the united states. >> and she immediately sets her sights on her fall competition. >> donald trump is temperamentally unfit to be president. [cheering] >> while donald trump works to calm nervous republicans. >> he know some people say i'm too much of a fighter. my preference is always peace. >> but can he shake questions about his statements that a judge of even mexican or muslim heritage cannot treat him fairly? >> it's sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. >> left on the sidelines, bernie sanders. >> well, here we are in mid june. >> covering the week, gene cummings political editor for "

all of those bernie sanders voters who have been left out in the cold by a rigged system of superdelegates, we welcome you with open arms. [applaus [applause] >> and by the way, the terrible trade deals that bernie was so vehemently against and he's right on that, will be taken care of far better than anyone ever thought possible and that's what i do. we are going to have fantastic trade deals. we're going to start making money and bringing in jobs. [applaus [applause] >> now, i know some people say i'm too much of a fighter. my preference is always peace, however. and i've shown that. i've shown that for a long time. i've built an extraordinary business on relationships and deals that benefit all parties involved, always. my goal is always, again, to bring people together. but if i'm forced to fight for something he really care about, i will never ever back down and our country will never ever back down. [applaus [applause] >> i fought for my family, i fought for my business. i fought for my employees. and now, i'm going to fight for you, the american people, like nobody ha

major political party. her challenge unified the party and bring bernie sanders supporters aboard. he will soon speak to support ers and reporters, we're told. last night, sanders promised to fight on to the philadelphia convention. that said, at least he didn't take any digs at hillary clinton personally last night. tomorrow, sanders will meet privately with president obama at the white house. also with senator harry reid. several of his backers talked about party unity and offered praise for secretary clinton. this comes as many republican leaders are in open revolt against their nominee, donald trump. earlier today, clinton spoke to lester holt about how she will run against trump. let's watch. >> it may be hard to see tonight, but we are all standing under a glass ceiling right now. thanks to you, we've reached a milestone. the first time in our nation's history that a woman will be a major party's nominee. yes, there are still ceilings to break for women and men, for all of us. don't let anyone tell you that great things can't happen in america. barriers can come down. justice an

start" continues now. >>> in hours, bernie sanders meets with president obama at the white house. >>> donald trump hours from meeting with top republican fund-raisers. his job now not just to get money, but to get unity. this after days of controversy comments. >>> good morning. welcome to "early start." i'm john berman. >> i'm christine romans. it is 5:00 a.m. in the east. the sanders summit is upon us. he flies from vermont to washington for a closed-door meeting with president obama at the white house. he is still a candidate for president despite the fact that hillary clinton is the presumed nominee. having amassed the number needed to secure the nomination. she has a majority of pledged delegates. white house insiders have made clear that the president is itching to endorse hillary clinton and soon. today is more about body language. more of a listening situation with bernie sanders than any direct call to drop out. michelle kosinski has the inside scoop from the white house. >> reporter: john and christies, the white house is being careful about this. it almost makes me say

. clinton, we have learned, expected to call her opponent bernie sanders after the returns come in in tonight's big final contest. and that is the key question for democrats right now. what will bernie sanders do? a defiant statement from him last night. a real chance for him to win california. maybe even a few other states today. is he just trying to buy enough time to get through the final primaries, or is he trying to fight all the way to the convention. >> let's assess where we are tomorrow before we make statements based on speculation. >> and rounding out the agenda this morning, trump's mess. this morning the head of the party having a conversation with the presumptive republican nominee over those comments he will not back down from about the federal judge hearing the trump university lawsuit. reince priebus, the rnc chairman, we are learning putting a call in to donald trump as fellow republicans continue to slam him. even marco rubio saying essentially, i told you so. trump reiterating his comments have nothing to do with the judge's race. >> mexican or not mexican, i want h
