Shackles off, that is what his base wants to hear. we should also point out what paul ryans support is worth is questionable. look at wisconsin four years ago. when paul ryan was in fact on the ticket and couldnt pull it off then. so what was he going to do this year that trump really needs? an open question. i should also say i think negative campaigning is not done because it doesnt work. it is done because it does work. it does suppress the vote. it does get people so disgusted. some of those...

270. heres the problem with that, though, wolf. that means he has momentum going behind him and he doesnt have the momentum going behind him. he actually is receding right now. his biggest problem right now is white college-educated voters and women voters. specifically lets look at the one state of pennsylvania, the suburbs of philadelphia right now where he had a shot to pick up some ground there, and quite frankly what he did with bringing the women last night sbut a into the audience, some o...

More democratic. so certainly put the w in the trump/pence column tonight. >> good news for donald trump. he likes these poll numbers i am sure, david. stand by. dana, your reaction to these numbers? >> this is great new for mike pence, but the question is what does it mean for the guy who matters at if top of the ticket and thats donald trump. whether or not people seemed to like mike pence, and more importantly as david pointed out that you exceeded viewers expectations, is it going to transla...

The top of the ticket this is how you prepare for a debate, you do it with, you know, actual mock debates, with somebody playing the opponent, playing the moderator, which is what mike pence did. very aggressively. but the open question is even if that happened, would it matter because donald trump is a very, very different person than mike pence. >> two other quick points. number one, donald trump said he would be live tweeting. there was a lot of anxiety in republican circles when he said he w...

He was more specific with you on lots of things than he had been on the past. >> he was specifically more on the birther issue with ted cruz. less than four week to the iowa caucuses. this is a whole issue. i was looking down here, donald trump just tweeted a few moments ago it was a very wise move that ted cruz renounced his citizenship 18 months ago. senator john mccain is certainly no friend of ted. >> senator mccain is also now saying its an open question whether or not he fits the requireme...

Monday, he was certainly very restrained, not rising to the bait. >> and i think has chris said that thats smart. and i think both sides in the sense are being smart for trump attacking bill and hillary clinton is like loving mom and apple pie in a republican primary. and theres nothing to be gained as chris said from the clintons to seriously respond at this stage. i think that the calculus for both sides changes in a general election. however, the open question is the one that youve suggested,...

Who has numbers like this. >> lets look at it. lets pull up paul ryans favorability, just out four minutes ago. 62% among republicans. republicans only. favorable 14%, unfavorable but what are the chances that these warring facts, these three different facts of republicans as manu raju laid out will come together to support ryan? >> thats the open question. the real question, honestly are the 40 members of the freedom caucus who have gotten themselves a little -- they have power right now. they ...

Attempt to do that in that theyre trying to obviously bring him down several notches on the issue of national security, that he doesnt -- not just that hes not ready for prime time, but also in that op-ed published today compares him to the liberal filmmaker, michael moore, suggesting that he is just, you know, too far to the left on foreign policy. that is the kind of thing that theyre hoping inside the bush campaign appeals to conservatives and you know, again, an open question whether it will...

Theyre not going to do a lot of public jousting with any candidate. that makes sense. but donald trump himself has been threatening to boycott the debate if his demands are not met. and then later he issued an update on twitter, one of his favorite forms of communication. you see it there, saying that he will get the two hours that he says he wanted. so, thats his gloss on this back-and-forth. the open question here, and i havent spoken to folks at cnbc. as i mentioned, theyre not doing a lot of...

Crimes including armed smuggling but thats not been confirmed, neither government speaking openly about who would be involved in any exchange. >> well, the iranians have thrown out, at least they hinted at this possible swap. iranians held in u.s. prison for exchange of americans being held. what are u.s. officials saying? >> they arent saying as you say president rohani mentioned this. we know in the past this happened sometimes quietly, sometimes unawe nosmes unawe nus sometimes unawe nonannou...
