smart moan was on a hillary clinton/jeb bush general >> reporter: donald trump entered the race for the presidency by making an entrance. that moment provided a clue for what followed. it would not be politics as usual. >> when mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists. >> reporter: language often incendiary became hiv calling card. and shoot somebody and not lose voter. i'd like to punch him in the face. >> reporter: he would not be kowed by parties. >> lyin' ted, little marco. >> reporter: his focus turned to hillary. >> crooked hillary clinton, oh, she's crooked, folks. >> reporter: as modern elections reasonable comparison. thes had their own fight, a fight about ideas and ideals. >> this is one of the biggest differences between senator sander and myself. >> reporter: a fight about the future of the country. >> i do want to see major changes in the democratic party. >> reporter: sanders supporters made clear they were not happy with the choice they were left with. >> can i just say to the bernie or bust

like jeb bush, who trump has hit on the campaign trail and w a couple of minutes ago is now tweeting congratulations to trump, saying he and his wife will pray for him. >> all right, hallie, thank you very much. let's bring in steve schmidt and mark halperin. i think hallie did a good job laying out the promises donald trump made during the campaign. he went into the rust belt and said he's going to bring the jobs back and return them to their glory days, can he do it? >> it's going to be interesting paul ryan's policy proposals, the house republicans have some pretty big specifics on lots of issues. he didn't do that in the campaign. i suspect he may do it now. working with mike pence, who is going to be the capitol hil liaison in chief, they may to the house republicans and senate republicans, show us what you got and i think a lot of things will be signed into law. >> he made a lot of promises, build a wall, make mexico pay for it, he talked about has a republican congress. so he doesn't have the ready-made excuse some presidents have where i wanted to but had these obstacles. it'

, who opposed donald trump's candidacy and people like jeb bush, who trump has hit on the campaign trail and who this morning a couple minutes ago is now will pray for him. >> thank you very much. let's bring in steve schmidt and mark halprin. good morning. i think hallie did a good job laying out the promises made by donald trump in this campaign. mark, he went into the rust belt and told people out there that watched manufacturing go out and jobs go out, he will bring the jobs back and return them to their glory days, can he do it. he,000 republican had lots of specific issues. >> he didn't do it in the campaign, i think he will do it now. working with mike pence, the capitol hill liaison in chief, i think they might say to the house and senate republicans, show us what you've got and a lot of things will be signed into lew. >> he made promises, build a wall and dispatch isis and bringing jobs back to the midwest. he has a republican congress. he doesn't have the r well, i wanted to but i have these obstacles. it's all his to do, but, of course, the devil is in the details. >> so

the videotape and what was in it and not in it. >> jeb and george bush their tactics via video. it's a tactic. there will come a time when you want to speak to the viewers of programs like this and this again will deprive him of access to a lot of americans he's going to want to reach. >> in terms of speaking to americans, we just saw hallie on the gathering of white na natiali a hail trump a hail hitler salute. what does president trump need to say about that right now to stop that in its tracks. >> we can call it the alt-right and white nationalism. i understand those are being used interchangeably. it is one answer to say they're not with me, to denounce it. the same way that pressured candidate obama to give a speech about race when it became very fraught, i think the pressure about white race and what are blurred lines between white supremacy and his support. if he doesn't, if we see some sort of uptick on racial intolerance or racial incidents. this is not really a concern among adults but if you see this kind of speech spreading to schools, this is squarely on his shoulder. >> n
