CNNW CNN Newsroom With Carol Costello May 25, 2016

He stands just inches from clinching the nomination. Meanwhile, the tone gets even nastier, the warfare appears to be underway. Guests are here to break it all down for us. Lets begin with Jason Carroll and the antitrump violence. Trump said during his speech that he is doing great with hispanics, and going to win them over. Clearly, he has not won over those who protested in the streets last night, nor has he won over new mexicos republican governor. Overnight, police in riot gear, blasting pepper spray. And using smoke grenades to disburse antidonald trump protesters outside his rally in albuquerque, new mexico. Hours after the presumptive gop nominees speech. Dozens of protesters, stomping on police cars. And throwing rocks and bottles at police, injuring several officers. Earlier during trumps speech at the citys convention center, protesters breaking through the metal barriers surrounding the venue, some making their way inside. Only to be dragged out by security. Inside, trump criticizing new mexicos republican governor, susana martinez, who is also hispanic. Martinez has not endorsed trump, and said she was too busy to attend his rally. Since 2000, the number of people on food stamps in new mexico has tripled. We have to get your governor to get going. She has to do a better job, okay. Hey, maybe ill run for governor of new mexico. Ill gaet this place going. But the bulk of attacks, setting on Hillary Clinton. I will never say this. But she screams, it drives me crazy. And using some of his harshest language yet. I see this low life, she puts out an ad. Painting him as a greedy billionaire, this, after comments back in 2006, when he said he hoped to profit when the Housing Market collapse. Got some clip, if it goes down, im a businessman, thats what im supposed to do. Elizabeth warren, going after trump for his past business practices. Donald trump was drooling over the idea of a housing meltdown, because it meant he could buy up more property on the cheap. What kind of a man does that . It is a man who cares about no one but himself. A small, insecure moneygrubber who doesnt care who gets hurt, so long as he makes a profit off it. Trump called warren a, quote, total failure. Also calling her pocahontas, faking her american heritage, a claim she denies. Trumps next rally will be in anaheim, california. Law enforcement there, pamela, already preparing for more unrest. In the wake of what happened there in albuquerque. Jason carroll, thank you for that. Lets bring in the panel this morning. Cnn political analyst and editor in chief of the daily beast, john avalon and wright alerts. Com and donald trump scottie nel hughes, and project action fund and Hillary Clinton emily tish sussman. Scottie, to you first, on the heels of what we just heard from jasons report, Elizabeth Warren going after trump both on social media and the speech we saw. She seems to be getting under his skin. It seems to be working here. This morning, trump tweeted, goofy Elizabeth Warren, sometimes known as pocahontas bought foreclosed housing, total hypocrite. Why does it this line of attack, scottie, seem to be getting under his skin more than other attacks . Because it is actually what he said. Hypocritical. You look at Hillary Clinton going after mr. Trump and saying he was making out demonizing him and thats things that Warren Buffett has said. Thats something that these businessmen do. They make money off of these downturn economies, and seize the opportunity. Elizabeth warren, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, who were in office and voted for things like doddfrank, subprime mortgages that caused this. It is very hypocritical to go after him, who actually used it to, i hear the is that a sigh . Such a sigh. Yes, it was a sigh. Because doddfrank was a correction, you should know that. Really . It did not correct the problem. Yes, doddfrank came after the fiscal problem. Maybe youre thinking about glass steegle. You look at these, these politicians, you cannot sit there and blame people for the crash in 08, the housing crisis in 08, you have to blame the politicians that made the laws, and thats people like Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton, who voted for it. Lets broaden this out dont talk about the great recess. Defend your guy, but at least use logic. Lets broaden this out. Hold on. Lets broaden this out. It does seem like beyond this debate about, you know, the Housing Market and everything, Elizabeth Warren has struck a nerve with donald trump. This is not the first time theyve gone after it over twitter. So what do you think, emily . Do you think this is Hillary Clintons secret weapon, a way for her to basically stay a above the fray while Elizabeth Warren goes after him . The reason warren gets under his skin is because she is smart. She knows her stuff. But whether or not it affects trump is actually really not the real question here. Its what he represents. It is who he is talking to. Who hell bring people together. Right now, republicans are doing everything they can to say i guess this is our nominee. Reluctantly coalesce behind him. But the reason these are important, unlike the attacks before this, the attacks before this showed that he is rich, okay. So fine, we know that he is rich. But what we didnt know directly from his own quotes, i think we indicated it, was that he was willing to profit off the workers for his own selfdealing. Thats exactly what this shows. The difference between him and every other businessman that the fact that they would make money off the downturn, he wants to be president. When he files for bankruptcy, he is protected, but the small construction workers that get screwed. The casino workers that get screwed. Now he says he has their interest at heart and representing them. That rings very, very false. Okay, so john, then why is he doing so well amongst millions of americans . Well, i think donald trump has been a very effective tapping into kcultural resentment, the game is rigged, special interests, a message he shares with Bernie Sanders. Hillary clinton is not well positioned to answer. But the reason these attacks are getting under his skin because theyre going at a core strength. His business practices. There is nothing wrong with buying low and selling high. The difference is cheerleading for a crisis which a lot of people get hurt. The people who have been squeezed for decades. As an independent, we have to use equal standards on both sides. The protests last night, that is a bad move for the Democratic Party and trump opponents. Because if they degenerate into violence, imagine what would have happened if the folks on the right had danced on police cars. There would be a totally different tone today. Look, it is the tone set by trump. I think we already have a turning point. Are we going to seriously consider a president ial candidate when this is the tone he sets. He encourages violence at his rallies and people are responding to it. Weve seen acts violence all over the country and saying it is because theyre inspired by trumps message. We are at a turning point. It is incredibly dangerous. You cannot sit there and blame last night on mr. Trump the the only place actually to serve correctly is naturevada, Bernie Sanders supporters there. The only place weve seen violence by the actual supporters are on the democratic side. Not the republican. Im not going to let you smear last night to be mr. Trump. The only people sitting there hold on. My turn to respond. There were people chanting, they were proud that they were illegal, and proud of it. They were sitting there waiving the mexican flag. They may have grievances with what mr. Trump has said, but ill be honest with you, this is not the way to get your point across and it only em boldens the American People to know that we have a real issue that they deserve to be here and that we should just give them everything they want. Our economy cannot pay for it any more. We are 19 trillion in debt. We need to turn off the spigot. Pam larks were not doing dog whistle any more. I condemn the protests, but when all of a sudden, we start saying that, you know, that the real issue is it shows how unlawful illegals are, thats dangerous demagogue stuff that reflects the rhetoric, and thats where it gets tricky and difficult, and something we need to confront directly. Let me ask you something too. Consistent theme, the conspiracy th theories, talking about it with the clintons as well in an ad he had on social media weve heard this before, but millennials are new to this fight. Do you think clinton needs to come out and answer to this point . I dont think so. I think what trump is doing is just looking for what he does best. Creates media narratives. Bringing things up that have been litted, triigatelitigated. I dont think thats what people want to see, forward looking president. Someone who will set an agenda that will help their lives. He was talking about the downturn in the housing crisis and rooting for it, thats real people. Thats real people being thrown out of their homes. If she can decide whether shell respond to 20yearold scandals of people that have been put to bed and totally tried or talk about moving the country forward, and getting people back in those homes and getting them jobs, i dont think they should waste any time responding to him. Mr. Trump is just simply responding to 136 million of a Hillary Clinton mignon, her super pac, that has gone after mr. Trump. It wasnt just one victim, 17 victims, one even ended in an 850,000 settlement that bill clinton settled with it. Super pac youre referring to is the republican super pac. No, thats actually Hillary Clinton super pac. Its his own words. There are other issues that theyre doing this advertising campaign. He is just responding to that. He is on the look, this is it is donald trump doing deflection because of his own vulnerabilities on this issue. Smart politics to play offense anticipated attacks on your own personal life. The selfinflicted sex scandals, thats out there. When he starts dipping his toe and digfying the crazy, then it becomes unc doesnt by going after clinton in the past controversies pamela, what do you mean by colorful, pamela . Ill leave that to the imagine na imagination. He admitted he had affairs. He fully admitted it. Yes, and brags about it. All of his exwives, all of the women that were supposedly against him in the nrk post article have come out and endorsed him. When the 17 women supposedly victims of bill clinton and when they endorse Hillary Clinton and we can stop this conversation. Scottie scottie, your guy was defending bill clinton to the hilt, because thats when he was telling the truth. This is an act of political deflection, and thats the reality of the situation. John, emily, scottie, thank you for that colorful discussion. I do appreciate it. Great to have you on. Thanks, pam larks bye. Meantime, looking toward july. Unneeded baggage, the dnc chair, Bernie Sanders campaign accuses Debbie Wasserman schultz of a pro clinton, and joe johns is in washington with the very latest. Joe. Reporter pamela, the head of the Democratic Party again coming into focus after Bernie Sanders went after her over the weekend in the middle of a pitched Campaign Battle for california, the biggest prize in the primary season. No indication that any Democratic Senators have launched a formal effort to get rid of Debbie Wasserman schultz, but the Sanders Campaign can claim credit for starting a conversation about it. On capitol hill, Democratic Senators discussing removing Debbie Wasserman schultz as the head of the party, one source saying many feel it would be a good idea. The source telling cnn there is fears she has become, quote, too toxic in the ongoing Democratic Civil war. The feud between the dnc chair and the Sanders Campaign reaching a fever pitch, after chaos erupted at the Nevada Democratic convention. She has been throwing shade on the Sanders Campaign since the very beginning. Reporter accusing the head of the dnc of supporting Hillary Clinton before the primaries even began. Something she vehemently denies. San bernardino, thank you. Delegate rich primary in california, clinton 100 delegates away, looking toward the general election. I need your help in this upcoming primary, because we want to finish strong. And pledging to stop trump. Why on earth would we elect somebody president who actually rooted for the collapse of a Mortgage Market . But sanders believes he would be the best challenger against the Presumptive Republican nominee. If we get the democratic nomination, donald trump is toast. And in the fight to gain traction, the Sanders Campaign calling into question the results of last weeks con tuke primary. Theyre requesting a full and complete recanvas of the voting machines. He lost to clinton by a razor thin margin of roughly 1,900 votes. A clinton aide, a kusziaccusing issue to raise more money for his campaign. The tem po poe is picking ups morning. He has added stops his Campaign Schedule there. The Hillary Clinton campaign expected to continue to attack donald trump today, for his comments and Business Activities around the time the housing bub burst. Thanks, joe. With me now, dana bash. Good morning. Good morning. What are you hearing about the possibility of a shakeup . Well, you know, it is talk at this point. Thats my understanding. You know, those of whous have spent sometime on capitol hill, particularly at times of inter or intra party crisis know that when we hear about a lot of discussion, it means that senators in particular, when theyre gathering for a vote on the senate floor or at a lunch or in the cloakrooms off the senate floor, theyre chattering, and theyre basically having discussions informally about whether or not it would be the right thing to do for Debbie Wasserman you schulz to step aside before the convention. The context of this is that the senators, all except one, those who have endorsed, have endorsed Hillary Clinton. So these are not people who are kind of on the Bernie Sanders side who have really butted heads with Debbie Wasserman schultz. These are people looking ahead to philadelphia, to the democratic convention, concerned about chaos, frankly. And talking about whether or not it would be it would alleviate chaos for her not to be there. I should say, as i toss it back to you, pam, that the democratic leader in the house, nancy pelo pelosi, put out a statement strongly supporting Debbie Wasserman schultz. There were others that did the same. She in particular, through a spokesman said ive got my head down, doing my job and trying not to Pay Attention to this stuff.
