Exasperated republicans, including 2012 nominee mitt romney is actively planning to draft an independent president ial candidate. Among those recruited, another billionaire, Dallas Mavericks owner mark cuban, worth a reported 3 billion. In an email to cnn, cuban said it would have been fun to run against donald but as a third party its too late. And although the Donald Trump Campaign was dogged by new controversies this week, House Speaker paul ryan is renewing his promise to quote, find Common Ground with the candidate. As you know, i had a long meeting with donald trump. We had a long meeting on thursday, thought it was a very productive meeting. First meeting weve really had other than a phone call in march. Were beginning the process of discussing what unity looks like in the Republican Party. As i said before, this takes some time. This isnt done with a couple of meetings. Unclear when or whether ryan will eventually endorse trump but the presumptive nominees top aide tells jake tapper dont expect any major changes from trump going forward. Donald trump was not asked by the leadership to change and theres no reason for him to change. Hes won the primary process with a Record Number of votes. The conversations they had focused on the trump agenda for to make America Great again and paul ryans agenda to return prosperity. There were a lot of overlap on objectives of both of those programs. I want to bring in senior political analyst ron brownstein. A lot of pundits calling this party unity pledge a sham, its not real at all. The task isnt to achieve party unity with trump, but to save a decent party from this years misbe gotten nominee. Is this effort towards unity a genuine . Will it work or is there a big problem here . Well, i think in the end most republicans will end up with donald trump in the highly polarized era were living in. Most Republican Voters given the choice of pliksz will end up there. The fact were having this conversation at all and speaker of the house is struggling to find a way to move towards endorsing his partys nominees and previous nominees all expressing various degrees of unease with the current nominee. This is unprecedented. These are truly unchartered waters we are in and goes to show how much Donald Trumps success was a revolution from within and how much of a challenge it represents to the view of the party of so many of its current leadership. Another third party name thats been tossed around, senator ben sassy, thats been floating around. Any one person that could potentially pull off a third party run at this point . Even spearhead the dialogue. What mark cuban said is correct. Its very late in the process. Michael bloomberg who has a lot of money and ambition and political talent assembled around him and looked and that was too late. It is difficult to any kind of path forward towards winning the election, maybe not towards throwing towards the house of representatives, the only point would be to give people in the Republican Party and conservative moment a point to rally around. Dont forget, fred, there are republicans defending seven seats in november in states that voted both times for president obama. Those are states where donald trump could face the most difficulty and the history is theres less split ticket if he does poorly in those states, high risk of republicans losing the senate. There may be an effort to have something for those candidates to rally around but its going to be tough. The New York Times has a scathing article about trumps treatment of women. These are things hell have to answer for but there are things from many years ago and i think that as christians judging each other, i think is problemat problematic. I think when people live in glass houses and throw stones is when people get in trouble. As Hillary Clinton, a classic clinton operation now suddenly these things are coming out. Its not necessarily that they have regrets or seek forgiveness, its whether the person launching the charge is authentic in their own life and can be pure enough to make such a charge. Thats what most look at when they evaluate peoples character. I dont think donald trump is being judged on his personal life. People are judging donald trump as to whether hes going to go to washington and shake things up. Ron, these character witnesses so to speak, whether they appear in print or whether they are broadcast, how defining might be they for a candidate . Look, i think this is one of the two big challenges donald trump faces in the election. The first one is that if you look at the groups he has offended the most and the way he won the nomination, groups that tend to be growing in the electora electorate. The other big problem he faces maybe even the biggest hurdle is this question of whether he is personally suited and has the temperament and demeanor you want in a president. Theres no question when you look at the polling, the doubts are deepest among women. Only 32 of women said they had a favorable impression of donald trump and that comes from a lot of different things, his style of talking and leadership and part of it are all of these indications of the way he has interacted with women in his orbit over the years and things he has said. The most devastating ads against him was the one by the Republican Group skeptical of him that had women reading his quotes about women. That is an issue he has to deal with. Hillary clinton has problems with men and Paul Manafort talked about that today. Women are a ma jorlt of the electorate. The advantage would be that the candidate weaker among men and not even equivalent because his negatives are higher among women than Hillary Clintons are among men. You talk about the 32 favorable among women. I sat down face to face with one woman who speaks very highly of donald trump and worked alongside him for 15 years, louise sunshine, probably read about her in the art of the deal. She uses words, hes a leader and mentor and helped crack that Glass Ceiling to help her punch through. The impressions are really varied and well have more of her interview later this hour. It was a complex pusher in the New York Times store rip, but no question it is a big hill hell have to climb. Were all on the same page and reporting on that. Rob brownstein, good to see you. On the democratic side, all eyes on kentucky as candidates try to drum up votes. Bernie sanders is expected to hold a rally at any moment in the town of pa duke ka, hoping to extend his current winning streak and youre looking at Hillary Clinton who is addressing voters in louisville. Clinton durcurrently has a 778 delegate lead over sanders. 55 are at stake in tuesdays contest. And Scott Mcclain is following developments from washington for us. Scott, even though clinton has more delegates, another loss well, that would make it that it would be tightening the gap between she and sanders. Yeah, thats right. Optics are important here. Hillary clinton has lost two straight contests now and doesnt want kentucky to be number three. Its not going to be easy. Parts of the state are coal country which can be hostile because of comments she made in march at the cnn town hall. That she was going to put a lot of coal mineers and companies out of business. She did later apologize but got a frosty reception in parts of virginias territory. And her husband faced protesters at a recent event in kentucky. She is putting a lot of time and effort into the blue glass state. Visited two predominantly black churches and one youre seeing there in louisville. Her campaign ignored Bernie Sanders but moments ago she seemed to buck that trend going after him and repeating a claim that Bernie Sanders disputes saying that he didnt support the auto bailout while she did. Bernie sanders also in kentucky in pa duke ka. Hes also taken a similar tact with Hillary Clinton opting to not go after her and instead going straight after donald trump. And he criticized him over trumps new found support from billionaire sheld onaddleson. Oregon the other big state voting on tuesday. It is a state Bernie Sanders is expected to do very well in. But Hillary Clinton has a huge delegate lead. Bernie sanders would need to win all of delegates at stake right now and also win over a couple of superdelegates, those unpledged Party Officials in order to actually clinch the nomination. Its a pretty narrow path for Bernie Sanders. Quite the horse rate in kentucky, thanks so much. Appreciate it in oregon. President obama also taking the podium today but in a different fashion. He delivered his second commencement speech of the season at Rutgers University using the opportunity to go after donald trump. Isolating or disparaging muslims and suggesting they should be treated differently when it comes to entering that country, that is not just a wetray all of our values. Thats not just a betrayal of who we are. It would alien ate the very communities at home and abroad who are most important pasht partners against violent extremism. Live from the white house with more on the message from the white house, ryan . Reporter fred, really interesting speech by president obama today. Using his bulk of the address to systemically go after the core of the Trump Campaign. He even went after trumps main message that he gives to his supporters that hes going to make America Great again. Obama arguing the good old days werent all that good. President obama told the graduates by virtually every measure, america is much better than it was when he graduated from college and argued the graduates need to take advantage of the fut or and tackle those problems and they dont do that by shutting people out. He finished with a plea to get involved political my and at the very least vote. He warned the graduates, apthy has a consequence. Kind of a golden thread in his second commencement address. The first one at Howard University with a similar message. Still ahead, my exclusive conversation with one of Donald Trumps most prominent pro to gs de and supporters. He was never a boss. He was a leading. Its a lot different to have the boss and then a leader. He was a leader. He taught me. Mentored me and showed me the way.

Isis claiming its militants attacked a gas plant killing ten people, including seven police officers. Three gas storage tanks also exploded. It started with two suicide bombs and six militants tried to storm the plant. I will bring in Global Affairs analyst kimberly dosier and francona. The isis attacks killed 100 people in iraq, including a car bomb today. Why does it seem there is this renewed focus on iraq and in baghdad in particular, colonel . The isis has suffered quite a few battlefield setbacks as of late and they are striking out the only way they feel they can right now. Its probably a good tactic for them. If you look at the Iraqi Security forces which includes the police, they are spread pretty thin and trying to fight battles resting control of the cities in the uphrates valley, so they have a real problem trying to keep security all over the place. Were seeing isis going after these second spots all over the place. Quite effectively kill ag lot of people and calling questions in the government, if you cant keep us safe. The people in baghdad are more concerned about their own security than their vul liberation of mosul. It has been reported that isis declared a state of emergency. But what does that mean . Is that to be believed . Well, what u. S. Officials believe this shows is that isis is beginning to feel the strain to ricks point. And that they are taking their page out of their old 2006 playbook when they started as an earlier organization, al qaeda in iraq, attacking the Shiite Community and trying to spur repriceal attacks by shiites on sunnis and thereby drive more sunnis into their ranks. Right now they are having a real problem recruiting according to u. S. Officials. Its hard to independently verify that. But they think that they are now having trouble replacing the people that theyve killed. That have been killed either in iraq or syria. What you do, they say, is you stage these high profile attacks and it makes you look like its till relevant and try to convince sunnis because of the attacks of revenge that the only way to keep them safe is to join isis. Heres National Security adviser susan rice talking about the fight against isis with fareed zakaria. Weve always taken the view and had the expectation this was going to be a longterm challenge. This was a fight to be measured in years, not months, it was not going to be a linear progression, weve had progress and setbacks and over the last several months by any number of metrics, i would say things have progressed quite well. Lieutenant colonel, you agree . Yes and no. I think we have made progress and its good but were not fighting a geographic battle right now. If you look at the progress now measured on how much land weve taken back and how many of them weve killed. But what were trying to do is stop an idealogy here and were seeing isis morph into this worldwide organization. Libya is becoming a hot bed of activity and springing up all over the middle east and going as far as south asia. Its not just going to be won on the ground in syria and iraq. Although thats important. Its going to be a longer term effort and hard to put efforts on the degraphic areas. The u. S. And Coalition Fighting isis have taken out several of the top leaders and does it seem it is making a Significant Impact . They have but u. S. Officials concede in some places where the battle is raging, some towns inside syria change hands almost daily. Its this back aend forth. When you stand back and look at the historical pattern, in iraq back in 2007, 2008, when the u. S. Would push one part of the bubble, it would push the fighters to another part of iraq. Now when they defeat them in one area, say inside one part of iraq or inside one part of syria, were seeing that bubble push to places like libya, other parts of africa, ungoverned spaces. That is the terrifying thing looking ahead and reason Counter TerrorismOfficials Say they are going to be fighting this battle for decades to come. Thanks to both of you, appreciate it. Thank you. Still ahead, its not every day you see a president ial frontrunner and the Vice President sharing the same arena, but thats the case for trump and biden as they watch their loved ones collect their diplomas.
