look at the way he has treated chris christie. whether it is issues or people, he picks them up and drops them. at the end of the day, he is the commander-in-chief or could be. he has to reassure voters, the country that he has the chops and credentials, the judgment and temperament to be commander-in-chief. i don't believe the running mate changes it. i take donald trump at his word. mark: bob gates were his running mate it would have to affect the review. nicolle: i want to ask you both. was there any part of paul ryan that was dying on the inside/crying on the inside. was there any part of these men that was dying on the inside for both of these men? barry: i don't think so. dan: paul ryan is a political leader of ideas. he has been involved in the ideas debate for a long time. i think watching the conservative movement fold to this guy who is just using it, i think is difficult. he is also the leader of a party and he is trying to strike this balance. mark: dawn trump used paul ryan's name as a last line at his event could wil

trump -- you see a coalescing around him, more people like chris christie saying the party needs unify? stuart: i would expect so. ithink it is regrettable, but think you would see more of an effort to do that. party, those in the party who do not think donald trump should be representative of the party will continue to fight all the way to the convention. he is certainly the most unpredictable candidate that we have had. a guy, who today on election, is father,about ted cruz's and the oswald and kennedy conspiracies. anything can happen. i would fight all the way. john: what would that mean? what are the plausible options for never trump? you actually do between now and the convention to stop him from being the nominee? stuart: there are two levels to that, where the boat accounts are, the delegate counts. and until he gets to a hard 1237 , he does not have the votes to get the nominee. readinge is still a , those whoconvention don't believe that donald trump should be the nominee should continue to oppose them. this is someone who is not even released one year of his taxes, which is

in may 1990, records were beaten at christie's for $82 million. renoir at sotheby's first $78 million. then in june, all japanese buyers had withdrawn from the market. so the sales in june, one month later, were really, really bad. then the market rebuilt very gradually, very slowly. by 1996 and 1997, it really gathered steam again. but then in 2008, the opposite happened. it stopped in october 2008. but then in march 2009, there was the pierre auction at christie's, which was the most successful option at the time ever to take place. they were selling their collection. when people saw that it made amazing results, the confidence came straight back. and so, since 2009, we have seen prices rising until 2016. charlie: how much speculation is there? in other words, people buying pieces of art that they like and love having, but if someone offers them a huge profit, they would easily get rid of it? simon: there are as many motivations for collecting as there are collectors. some are interested by the speculative aspect of it all. but even the mysterio

john: my hunch was it was going to be chris christie. i agree based on what i'm hearing, they do not want someone like that. that is why the talk of newt gingrich confuses me. he does nothing to be in the mold of what they need. bob, thank you. we will talk to you soon. when we come back, we go into the zone. ♪ ♪ mark: joining us now from sunny los angeles, veteran consultant bob shrum. i have been following you over the last few days. a lot of democrats ask -- democrats are panicking about the bulls -- the polls and the degree of disarray and dissension within your party. your message seems to be don't panic. why? >> first, the demographics strongly favored clinton. if you look at trump's ratings among young people, women, hispanics, african-americans, i honestly have a hard time getting him over the hump to 50%-51% of the vote. a lot of people, and it is kind of a democratic characteristic to wring your hands. a lot of people are worried, probably more worried than they should be at this point. >> and i think you would agree do cli

chris christie needs to know, he will call paul ryan, the idea that chris christie is the bridge to paul ryan is amusing. but the idea that people need to actually find it with the problem is -- this guy is a problematic guy, people have concerns. >> so much to talk about. let me take you to this. this question of the bushes. the two presidents bush saying they will say out of it. that seems to me like an extraordinarily big deal. dan: a huge deal. here is the point. >> to be clear george herbert , walker bush has been involved in every presidential election since he was president. endorsed -- dan: i get it. this is donald trump's problems, he has fractured the party and it is his job to figure out how he will win over these people. if it such a big deal theomc fr republican presidents are not going to join him -- >> has anyone else ask you for your advice? mary: i will not comment on that, if he gets to put together a good ground game, i am confident he will win. can i say something? some things trump politics, that is family. when it comes to the bushes, they are famous for their affe
