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

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

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

nothing to do with donald trump? mary: i do not know enough about donald trump, i know three things about his economic policy. >> if your husband left 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] >> you are never-trump? dan: i will never be for donald trump. >> what separates you from paul ryan? dan: paul thought that the primary would go on for a while, no one expected ted cruz to drop out tuesday night. the notion, on tuesday, it donald trump accuses ted cruz's father of 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. this ques

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

voting for donald trump. i think he will be in the states where he took on bernie sanders and hillary clinton and beat her. >> leaving the republican party today. we haven't seen anything like this. nothing like we have seen on the republican side or on the democratic side. what is the clinton campaign do when they see those kinds of defections. she said she is going to vote libertarian. that is good enough for the democrats. >> it is good enough trying to see, i think they are smart to try to continue to drive the divisions within the republican party, to make it a choice as stevens d between patriotism, and partisanship. >> veterans of the war room. thank you both. i appreciate it. coming up. once donald trump is officially the nominee, when he leave that is convention, he will get an intelligence briefing. that has some intelligence experts -- very worried. former national security advisor to several president, richard clark will join us. constipated? trust number one doctor recommended dulcolax use dulcol

>> i think jan's a better spokesman for donald trump than donald trump is. when jan's the vice presidential nominee the campaign will do moore more to put her out than then. i'm curious to talk to jan after the whole thing's over and after the independent wins for the first time in a couple centuries in america. and that will be exciting and then jan can tell stories about what it was like to be on the trump/brewer ticket. >> appreciate the transition, in today's meetings trump sat down with a few who have been mentioned as vp picks. this is fox news last night, this is what he said about you, govern. >> jan brewer has been fantastic. she has been so fantastic. and i won so big. her territory, and we won so big. and she's a fabulous woman. >> what's your reaction? >> well, certainly, i, you know, appreciate him speaking so nicely about me. but there are a lot of people out there, men and women, who are highly qualified, that would be great candidates. >> who would you like to see. like who? >> i don't, i don't get to make that choice. mr. trump is going to h

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 -

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

busy day for donald trump. he'll be with a few groups of lawmakers and the goal is to try to unite the party. outside, protests going on. as you saw, very raucous protesters. let's go to manu raju and dana bash. manu, let's start with you. how many protesters exactly are there out there? >> reporter: probably about a dozen, maybe a dozen and a half protesters standing right behind me right here. folks actually mostly protesting over the issue of undocumented immigrants. of course, as we know, he wants to build a wall between the u.s. and mexico. he wants mexico to pay for it. and deport 11 million or so undocumented immigrants. what they're chanting is undocumented, unafraid, and you're hearing a pretty raucous, but peaceful protests i may add. a handful of pro trump supporters are here shouting back, creating a big you've raucous scene, which of course is commonplace in trump events these days. but you know, one of the interests things that republicans, one of the reasons why i should say republicans are somew

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.

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

but that wasn't a donald trump video. that was a hit against donald trump. i'll tell you as an elected official myself, the mistake that i think the hillary people are making on that is you have to put -- like you pointed out, the negatives go up for both candidates, the one that gets hit and the one that does the hitting. before you go right for the attack, you have to build up your bank, your positives in the bank and talk about yourself and your positives because anytime you do a hit, you take a negative hit on yourself as well. if you don't have any positives in the bank, that really hurts you. i think for hillary's people to be hitting so early, i think they're driving a bad narrative that's going to hurt their candidate. >> i just think that you said that -- i think speaker paul ryan is in a tough position. he has a vision for the republican party that's more of a jack kemp inclusive, everybody in party. it's the exact opposite of a donald trump. whatever he does tomorrow, i think he gets hurt, but i think for the long term, if he now embraces the kind

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

this is donald trump's rust belt strategy. white working class voters in ohio and pennsylvania, maybe do well in michigan and wisconsin, all four states in 2008 and 2012 and so the path to those electoral votes for next six months. give hillary clinton the emerging, more diverse new south states. that gives 273 electoral votes. donald trump even if you give him iowa and new hampshire, he's at 263. electoral map ends up benefiting the democrats more than the republicans. we'll see how the next six months play out. >> the next six months will be rock 'n' roll. casey hunt, we thought we hadn't seen anything like this yet this is going to be an amazingly brutal campaign. you have two of the most unpopular likely nominees ever to face off against each other in a campaign that will be brutal in the era of social media dominated by donald. >> can you imagine if you're hillary clinton after getting in this, after losing in '08 to obama thinking this is going to be the person that you're running against. it's clear from what we saw in

how did donald trump do this? mark: i have been asking republicans over the last several days of trump could be stopped and i have not heard a single explanation from anybody given the weakness of the field, given how trump match the mood of the party, given the performance the donald trump and his team did i haven't heard , anyone give me a scenario that downs plausible how trump could be stopped. look, once youan take the field as set, and then you take the nature of those individuals, and how they would choose to compete, unstoppable, and inevitable -- i don't think anything is inevitable in politics, ever read and it -- ever. it takes away something from trump's particular genius that got him to where he is today against all odds to say it was somehow inevitable. mark: if mitt romney had run, would he beat him? john: i don't know. to give trump credit, you don't have to like his policies to acknowledge the fact he sees the moment, he understood the ways in which the republican party had changed for it he read

tied with donald trump, shows bernie sanders doing a little better against donald trump, but it is not good news for democrats in that poll. that's next. >>> should the democrats celebrate donald trump's being the republican nominee? or should they fear it? washington post editorial's ed hyatt comes down on the side of fear, saying democrats need to be running scared, smart but scared, now for the next six months. joining us again, our panel. jonathan allen, we've got these new battleground state polls in three states, i think we're go being to get them up on the screen here. pennsylvania, florida, ohio, and what we're seeing there is donald trump, basically tied with hillary clinton in pennsylvania and florida and ohio. we see efficiency thif they put hillary clinton falling behind donald trump. bernie sanders doing better in pennsylvania with a lead over trump and in ohio and florida bernie sanders is essentially tied with donald trump within the margin of error in both of those states. so, if that kind of polling polls, that's a whole new story for the democrats. >> i think a lot of

donald trump. i'm talking about ron johnson of wisconsin, kirk of illinois, kelly in new hampshire. rob portman in ohio. it's fair to say john mccain in arizona could be vulnerable. mitch mcconnell said the meeting was constructive. i had the opportunity to talk to the chairman of the foreign relations committee, bob corker of tennessee, who has been mentioned as a possible trump vp pick about what he understood his colleagues thought of the meeting. take a listen. do you think it's a good step in the right direction? do you think your colleagues are getting to full-on yes with trump? >> i was not in the meeting. i heard comments at lunch. i got the strong sense that everyone who attended really felt good about the meeting. so i -- i would settle and say not only did they -- i've never met him, but -- not only did they say they enjoyed the meeting, but they really liked him. so i think -- from what i can tell, the mean, the reports to us today at lunch were very positive. >> reporter: so looks like

>> i think donald trump is going to be donald trump. and i think his meeting with paul ryan will give you particular clues about how far he's willing to go on republican orthodoxy, as well as the way the platform plays out at the convention. i believe his beliefs, what he says about policy, he will have to flesh out more as the campaign goes along and i think he wants to do that. >> there's a whole bunch of things part of the republican catechism and official policy. those things are repealing obamacare, which he says he's for, but presumably there will have to be more fleshed out health care, the top marginal tax rates, tpp, at some point the guy's got to say yes or no on a bunch of stuff. my question, will that fall in line with what the republican party as a whole believes? >> donald trump has won a lot of votes taking positions that are not part of republican orthodoxy. i don't know why you think that would change. but i would say that his main claim in all of this is he can get stuff done. and that has not been a product of adminis

is it donald trump's? we know they're going to meet next week. >> they're meeting next wednesday and paul ryan said donald trump needs to do more to unify the party. what exactly does he need to do i'm not entirely sure. >> how does he do it? >> we were in west virginia last night and this is just as the paul ryan news was breaking just when he released his own statement saying he doesn't endorse speaker ryan's agenda "donald trump got on stage and instead of going after him he didn't mention paul ryan once. he held his fire on the party and the republicans and focused entirely laser focused on hillary clinton. and is already trying to take her done a notch. he may not want to have to deal with this party fight, but it's coming to him regardless. >> it's a little bit of breaking news for all of us here -- >> we love breaking news. >> as they work to kind of the party works to pull itself together, they're working on this joint fund raising arrangement with the rnc. it looks like lou eisenberg is the chairm

trump just as much as donald trump needs them. if they leave donald trump alone at the top of the ticket to get destroyed in key states, then that's really going to hurt the down ballot candidates. >> gloria, who moved more here? we haven't heard from donald trump yet so we don't know what kind of language he's going to use, but paul ryan seemed to have moved a lot, frankly. >> what i heard from paul ryan was trying to figure out a way to get to yes, okay? and what he was talking about was core principles. so he went very broad. >> the constitution. >> as in the constitution, as kate says, separation of powers, and pro-life. it's hard to get more broad than that kind of if you're a republican. and if you're conservatives, those are things that if you're pro-life, some aren't, but if you're a conservative, the constitution and separation of powers is pretty easy to say yes to. >> if you're liberal, the constitution is easy to say yes to also. >> and separation of powers because they all object to barack obama's executive actions. s

you know he's talking about donald trump. now, the white house went out of his way to say that president obama was not referring to donald trump specifically. i think we have some sound from the white house, press secretary josh earnest on this front that says it was not singling out one person. >> this is not an argument of one presidential candidate. this is an argument of many leader in a political party that had the evidence because it is inconvenient fo inconvenient to the political argument that they want to make. >> that was discriminatory as well and referencing of building walls are not a solution to america's problem. it was pretty clear he was ta talkital talkital talking about donald trump even if he did not mention his name. >> democrats were elated and they're saying this is a preview of many things to come. they were eager to have president obama to get in the fray and discuss donald trump this way. republicans, of course, did not like it as much but argument you will see from president obama and the months ahe

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

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. man 1: i came as fast as i could. what's up? man 2: this isn't public yet. man 1: what isn't? man 2: we've been attacked. man 1: the network? man 2: shhhh. man 1: when did

there's is no new trump. there is donald trump. correct? >> this is a candidate who embraces conspiracy theories, false information, right-wing memes, et cetera. this latest conspiracy about rafael cruz came from the national enquirer and the fever swamps of the right-wing internet. this is a very strange thing for the nominee of a party. however, he did have a different tone at that press conference. there are multiple flavors of donald trump. his supporters can embrace one and not the other. maybe that's what we'll see going forward. >> dylan? >> i would argue there are nine to ten months of donald trump 1.0. there's a lot of material for the hillary clinton campaign and for the remaining members of the stop trump or never trump movement to use in terms of combatting his general election bid. we're not talking -- historically you've had candidates who pivot toward their base during a primary and pivot back or tact back toward the center in a general election. that's not donald trump. donald trump has said that muslims shouldn't be able to

donald trump can deliver that. it would be nice if guys like rob got on the trump side -- >> i'm going to sku, how is he going to deliver the industrial midwest? >> it's about being tough on x-rayed with china, m mexico. we need better negotiators, if you look at barack obama, hillary clinton, these are people who have never run a business. they don't know what a payroll looks like. they've never signs the front side of a check. donald understands how business works. he understands international business trade negotiations. we need somebody tough with china. one last thing, the chinese middle class has grown by over 70% over the past ten years as far as wages. 70%. the u.s. middle class over the past ten years, income hasn't moved. there's something strange going on, and we're going to figure it out. >> donald trump talked about the barrage of negative ads which were thrown at him during this campaign in indiana. let's listen to this. >> 60,000 negative ads, most of which are absolutely false and disgusting. and i

even for donald trump. zble i thought i'd be going longer. >> reporter: his assent has conservatives scrambling deciding whether to back a billionaire about his disdain for the party. >> the republican system is rigged, but in a much more sophisticated way. >> reporter: both former presidents bush made it clear, they will not support trump, according to close aids, bush 41 is retired from politics and his son does not plan to participate in or comment on the presidential campaign. in an interview with wolf blitzer, trump is looking ahead and hitting his clearest starting, the likely nominee, hillary clinton. falsely accusing her of being the first to speculate on obama's citizenship. >> you know who started? . do you know who questioned his birth certificate? one of the first, hillary clinton. she's the one that started it. she brought it up years before it was brought up by me. and, you know, so she can talk, look, here's a person under investigation by the fbi, she's only going to get the nomination becau

if donald trump wins the state, the u.s. senate candidate and the republican primary is likely to be todd young who is more the establishment candidate, someone when's more pragmatic, doesn't lash out at people the way donald trump does. hoosiers split the tickets and really look at what the candidates are talking about, what issues are important to them. i think coming to ted cruz and this state, he was given a prime opportunity to earn votes. but he failed to do so. he failed to really make the case to hoosier voters, those swing moderate voters that he needed to win indiana, that he's the one to pull the lever for. he had a chance and he blew it. >> healy, you want to jump? >> i think the bottom line is that mr. trump is earning the votes of the american people based on merit. he's not stumping with talking points and typical d.c. rhetoric. he's having conversations at rallies and out while he's campaigning. that people are having behind their closed doors. that's refreshing. he's a winner. his success is proven in his bu

>> 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

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

trump -- attacks on donald trump could have a different impact. we know they are both dealing with different electorates. mark: among many remarkable quotes is this one from a longtime supporter of hillary clinton. she is horrible at running but fantastic at governing. that has been out there for people observing from a distance . to hear from the inside is stunning. dan: i think it is a way that people say we think she would make a perfect -- terrific president if that hillary clinton we know could be seen by the rest of the country, this would not be a close race. people believe that who are around her, inner circle or whether they are in one of the various outer circles of clinton world. they also recognized she has not been a strong candidate, and they know donald trump has been unusual as a candidate. he has an ability to control the dialogue, the conversation. if she has to be responding to him, which she doesn't want to do, that will make it more difficult. so they are looking for some spark, something she can do to reassure them she can na

>> i hope it is donald trump. he's getting the nomination. >> he's wrapping up the nomination, good lord, i hope it is, the person that's getting the nomination of our party is the person to lead our party. >> donald trump just hired his own gop pollster. donald trump said this to chuck todd back in august. >> i don't have pollsters, i don't want to waste money with pollsters. i don't want to be unreal, i have to be me. we have enough of that in washington with pollsters telling everybody what to say. >> this afternoon, trump threats

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 -- donald trump in an interview with sean hannity. here is more about what trump did and said today at our story at bloomberg politics.com. i did not expect the day to be successful. i hear about dan senor about how ryan did not go all the way to heelys with personal ties. with personal ties. nicolle: we keep watching the ryan dynamic but the thing that has political consequences are whether trump can get his legs under him on serious issues of national security. the biggest good but voters he has to win over are women. he seems to shoot from the hip on matters of national security and that finds some of them. i think he has the most to gain from the conversations with lindsey graham at baker. mark: if he reigns in his rhetoric and convinces republican seeking win and raise money and keep his outsider edge while making personal ties, that makes him a much more potential candidate than the democrats into thinking he is. nicolle: republicans have gone -- you talking privately about how we could likely win. except dan. oldier.e's a japan

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 back at 1%. it wasn't just because that's 1%, republicans looked at trump and said we like the guy but just don't know if he's serious. we asked them would you even be willing to consider voteding for donald trump and two-thirds said, no, won't even consider it. donald trump when you look at the numbers when he entered the race, you said the guy has no chance. we've never seen negative numbers that high for somebody running for a major party's nomination and he turned them around and has become the presumptive republican nominee. took about a month after he entered the rosace. took him about a month to move into first base and survived a number of controversies. or will be the nominee. now what will happen against hillary clinton? clearly, clearly the numbers are terrible for donald trump. this is the newest national poll. trump trailing hillary clinton by 13 points. clearly donald trump goes into the general election as an underdog. it's possible all the skeptics who say donald trump has no chan

donald trump? >> i think each person will make their own decision. i've said that i'm going to vote for our republican nominee, but i don't intend to endorse anyone in this race. >> all right. so either you're for him or not. i guess the problem is they're trying to figure out what is going to happen still. are people hedging their bet to the bitter end? >> she is hedging her bet. she's in tough race against the governor who is also popular. she believes, correctly, that her fatd of keeping her job or not could depend exclusive or near exclusively how donald trump performs. she wants to be able to win even if he crashes or burns. or if he does well, she wants to grab his coat tails. >> roy blunt, paul ryan, all the people he's going to be meeting with want to be convinced his conservative principles. what could he say in a 15 or 30-minute conversation to undo his record of not having conservative principles? >> i really have no idea. and nothing he's been doing in the last week or so as he shifted

as for donald trump, donald trump's got plenty of things he's got to answer for that haven't been put before him yet and when they are we'll see whether he'll answer. >> let's talk to the issue of trust dennis is talking about. the issue of trust and transparency. bob, according to the report, clinton and several staff members declined to be interviewed. why would she decline? does s that to limit liability and just talk to the fbi because she would have to talk to them? she doesn't have to talk to the ig? >> i can't answer that for you. i would assume there were two parallel investigations going on and she didn't want to say one thing in one and then at least on the edge of another. i think she wanted to let the fbi go forward. she's talked to the inspector general's office and filed an answer to a series of questions in writing but look it's still not an issue that will knock her out of the race unless she gets indicted. even if she is she could beat donald trump. trump is at the best of times right now. the only good time he'll have after this is when he accepts his party's nominat

trump puede ganarle, no veo, pero me ha sorprendido el apoyo que tiene donald trump. >> piensa usted que puede ganar donald trump en una contienda contra hillary clinton? >> te voy a de segu decir en lo Últimos meses he aprendido a no subestimar a donald trump y no sobre estimar a hillary clinton es uno candidata muy dÉbil, vulnerable y Él ha sacado a todo un universo nuevo de votantes a la calle. >> ana navarro y gobernador bill richarson, siempre es un placer hablar con ustedes, muchas gracias por estar conmigo este domingo en enfoque. >> gracias. >> momento de una breve pausa, al regresar centros de detenciÓn para niÑos inmigrantes se convierten en grado rÍas. >> uno de los gigantes products. un momento... gaby, amor, es para ti.

donald trump about to leave trump tower. what do you think of donald trump? >> a strange man. >> where are you from? >> sweden. >> well there you have it. and that's it for us on street justice. i'm not your normal street. >>> and don't forget if you're looking for a great read or a gift for you mom, think of my book "he killed them off" my quest for justice. the book is on sell now. friend me on fas bike follow me on twitter and instagram. thanks so much for watching. the greg gutfeld show is next. happy mother's day! >>> hi i'm greg gutfeld now. here's what's coming up. one presumptive nominee down one to go. it's like musical chairs without the music or the chairs. my god it's nothing like musical chairs. who is hillary's biggest challenge, is it bernie or donald. don't ask me. i'm heavy medicated. >>> let's get started, america. i won 11 bucks on the berdy and it's burning a hole in my pocket.

charles: you haven't been a donald trump fan. having some evangelical on the ticket would help way your thought and opinions? >> i'm agnostic when it come to donald trump. i think what's important is he's got to have a good vp pick i think will ahour social conservatives. that's not just evangelicals. it's conservative catholics. we are not sure what he's going to do because he doesn't have a track record in government. how he will vet his judicial nominees, one way would be to select ted and say i'll let him vet my judicial nominees. and what he does on the platform in cleveland will be an indicator of whether he want to build that platform including conservatives. charles: on the democratic side do you think hillary clinton and elizabeth warren would be a good ticket or would it be a risky move. >> i think it would be good for women and trump has been turning off people like crazy. charles: she will go into battle with hip at 2:00 in the morning. >> she is pushing bernie sanders father left. it might push moderates over to trum

person after person said donald trump. donald trump. donald trump. that's change. i was here last week. i wasn't hearing that as much. in the momentum from last tuesday to today, it seems like something has consolidated. the gop seems to be coming together and donald trump is the man they are choosing. >> just over 45 minutes to go until we have polls closed. with that our first characterizations of the night. much more ahead when we continue. we're always looking for ways to speed up your car insurance search. here's the latest. problem is, we haven't figured out how to reverse it. for now, just log on to compare.com... plug in some simple info and get up to 50 free quotes. choose the lowest and hit purchase. now...if you'll excuse me, i'm late for an important function. compare.com. saving humanity from high insurance rates. >>> this man is a pathological liar. he doesn't know the difference between truth and lies. he lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth. the man cannot tell the truth but he combines it with being a narcissist. a narcissist at

i'm talking about donald trump. he says this on the day he gets the delegates he needs to clinch the gop nomination. >> we had a big day today today was the day where we hit 1237, right? [ cheers and applause ] 1237. >>> hillary clinton inching to turn her attention to the general takes aim at trump. >> there is absolutely no way that we can let donald trump get anywhere near the white house! >> meanwhile, bernie sanders promises this. >> if i am the democratic nomin nominee, donald trump is toast. [ cheers and applause ] >> let's begin with donald trump celebrating as he reaches his magic number to clinch the republican nomination. >> we had a big day today. tday was the day where we hit the 1237, right? 1237. [ cheers and applause ] and you know, you had our president saying "he will not be the nominee of his party." oh really? he's been right that like he's right about everything else which is never. and yet a lot of the pundits, you see the guys back here, the people back here, some of the most dishonest people

donald trump needs paul ryan. he will need paul ryan to shepherd through tax reform and entitlement reform if president trump pushes through those , paul. ryan will need him, too. economic growth that you started his segment with is absolutely right. donald trump is smart enough to know jobs and the economy are the number one issue for voters across the board. they are living this obama economy on the ground every day and have been for the last seven-plus years. donald trump understands and the rest of the gop establishment should get on board with this as well. if they are going to win in the fall they need the economic issue they hit every year. martha: the underlying theme is yes they would like paul ryan to be on board. but if he doesn't, they feel they are winners and they have been winning all along and paul ryan represents a guy who was not able to close the deal when he ran for vice president and they have the stronger position. >> i don't think donald trump has bench more conciliatory. you have comments f

trump is about exactly one thing -- donald trump. >> tom brady loves trump. >> it is time for some accountability. the free ride is over. >> and donald trump is a terrible person. >>> this is "the last word on campaign 2016." >>> so here's what happens when rumors start flying around washington, that paul ryan is just about ready to endorse donald trump. paul ryan says -- i don't know where all of this got from. i haven't made a decision. i don't have a time line in my mind. i haven't made a decision. nothing has changed in my perspective, and we're still having productive conversations. so you can add paul ryan to the very small undecided group in the most recent nbc news poll shows hillary clinton at 46%, donald trump at 43, someone else, anyone else at 9%, not sure is only 2%. paul ryan remains in that increasingly exclusive club of 2% undecideds. nbc news confirms that donald trump and paul ryan had a phone call scheduled for tonight. a spokesman for paul ryan said this about the call -- the purpose of the call tonight is for the two of them to continue their conversation about unifying the p

trump, to put a dent in his momentum unless you're playing donald trump's game. and that game, of course, is as mark was saying, calling ted cruz lying ted, calling marco rubio little marco, come up with all of these nicknames for his rivals and i think ted cruz thought he could get away with not playing that game but the voters just don't care that trump kbruses that rhetoric and fact, they love it. if ted cruz has decided that that's a strategy that he can use now, then he might learn tonight it's already too late. >> i mean, why not just say no? i won't. that's how strongly i feel. i think i'm being clear by saying these things, but why not? if you could stay quick. i have other questions i want to ask you and it has to do with what ted cruz is going for here. he knows he has a big part of this state and it's the evangelicals of indiana. but this whole other part of the state. the manufacturing belt that does not like him and does like donald trump. so it's a battle within indiana. a lot of what he says about god and country and the morals of donald trump an e

donald trump has said so much. he's gone out so far of john miller -- i don't know the difference anymore -- donald trump has gone so far to praise and kiss up to the clintons that now that he wants to go back and destroy them, fine, that's the donald trump play book. bill clinton, not only supported violence against women act, family medical leave act, appointed women to the justice department, to top positions. so, he has a good record on women's issues. will these so-called women come out and readjudicate their criticism of the clintons? fine. >> they're not so-called. they're actually women. >> of course they are. all i'm saying is that there are issues here that donald trump would like to talk about because he done want to talk about releasing tax return. >> is clinton ready to battle that kind of battle? she was asked about this last week i guess on the campaign trail. she said essentially i'm not going to talk about that. i'm focused on the issues. is that good enough on debate stage with donald trump. >> wh

that's going to be donald trump. so is there a role for him moving forward and make sure they get elected and that donald trump's campaign in whatever kind of way it is run doesn't affect the down ballot races that ryan is going to be looking after. and so i think that this meeting is a situation where you have two guys who both actually have a good amount of leverage and i think that ryan can use that to his advantage. he's taking a very cautious approach to donald trump and he is making it clear that there will be some negotiation here over what's going to be best for the party and how candidates should respond to donald trump. if donald trump gets out there and says things that could potentially hurt their campaign. so it's going to be a fascinating thing to watch over the next couple of months. but paul ryan standing by his guns seems like a good place for him to be. >> david, you just heard armstrong williams is an advisor and spoke with paul ryan last night night. he doesn't think he will fully endorse donald t
