Theres sear crow chance he would join a trump ticket. Still, donald trump insists he will convince republicans to unite behind him but some of the partiest bigs names are not going on board. Former president. Gauche bush and george h. W. Bush will not be endorsing trump. An aide to bush 43 says the former president does not plan to participate or comment on the campaign. A spokesperson for bush 41 says at age 91 he is retired. George h. W. Bush has enforced every republican nominee since he left office. This is the first time the former president has decided to stay quiet. Its seems the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is slowly coming around in a statement he sauce i have committed to supporting the nominee chosen by republican votes and donald trump, the presumptive nominee, is on the verbal of clinching that nomination. Trump is expanding his team to prepare for the general election. Today, camp trump announced he has chosen former Investment Company ceo to be in the National Finance chairman, and New York Times newspaper reports donald trump has also been quietly reaching out to members members of the republican establishment to reassure he can run a successful campaign. Well speak with the journalist who wrote the piece. Rich edson has commends from republicans comments from republicans. Has trump ruled anybody out as running mate . Reporter he has. Sounds like right now the vetting process is a process of elimination, and you hear rumors bat short lift, maybe shares governor nikki hailey is on the lord list but she is not being considered and was never considered contrary to what has been reported on other networks today. That news comes from mr. Trump himself. He just sat down with brett baier. He said he has been having a lot of nice conversations with marco rubio lately, which analysts say is very sport. Marco rubio brings something to the ticket that donald trump doesnt have. He is from a very, very much a battleground state of florida. His latino background is important, and he is a young face in the Republican Party that can really help to unite it. Reporter of course, mtrump doesnt need to pick a running mate until this summer at the convention. We found out this afternoon that only one former nominee or president will be in the house, bob dole. Mitt romney says he is not going. Mr. Trump likes to speak of the size of his crowd and other things. Wonder if theyre still predicting big crowds even though he locked up the nomination . Its pouring rain here in charleston, West Virginia. We have seen a thick stream of Trump Supporters lining up on the other side of this arena in charleston. The campaign is expecting at least 13,500 people and think its going to be a rowdy crowd. The local paper is reporting mass many as 40 or 50 officers are on hand, work with the secret service and state police to make sure the security plan is thorough, and mr. Trump just a few minutes ago tweeted from his desk at trump tower, happy cinco de mayo, the best taco bowls are made in trump tower grill. I love hispanics and theres a picture of him eating a taco bowl, it look us likes. So in West Virginia folks are excited to be the ones to see mr. Trump since his final two republican rivals went home. That was a real trump tweet . Yeah. Your show just sent it to me. The real donald trump. Verified account. Thats him. Right . Fox news can confirm, that is he. Have a great time down there. Some republicans in congress are struggling to accept donald trump as the presumptive nominee. Rich edson is in washington. Now one republican senator is acknowledging trump hurts his reElection Campaign. Shep, senator john mccain says trumps nomination makes this a tough campaign for him. In a voice recording obtained by politico and confirmed by his campaign mccain says, quote, if its donald trumpty top of the ticket here in arizona, with over 30 of the vote being he hispanic vote no doubt that this may be the race of my life. Meanwhile in new hampshire, republican senator Kelly AyottesCampaign Says she is going support the nominee, though as a candidate herself she hasnt and isnt planning to endorse anyone this cycle. That drew a, huh . On twitter from their rival in the last week other, democratic challenges in ohio, illinois, pennsylvania, nevada, and arkansas, have tied their Republican Senate opponents to donald trump. What are republicans saying now about their chances of holding on to the two houses of congress . They have a 58seat lead in the house and say theyre confident they can hold that. In the senate, democrats need to pick up only four seats and hold the white house to reclaim control. Some republicans acknowledge trump makes it difficult for. The to maintain control the senate, they say Hillary Clinton harms democrats. A recent poll shows 49 find her unfavorable. Thats also compared to trumps 56 unfavorability rating. Spokesperson for the National Republican senator toal committee write theres a reason democrats are not lining up to campaign with Hillary Clinton. She is a toxic candidate whose failed leadership put the security of our country at risk. The g. O. P. Campaign source says republican senators in several states all have outperformed trump in their state primary. Thanks. Now more on how trump is reaching out to socalled Establishment Republicans and how some are responding. The New York Times political reporter Ashley Parker is here. She wrote an article. This is kind of mixed. Yes. Responses. Yes, absolutely. But he knows he has to reach out to republicans and theyve been quietly doing that behind the scenes, and now that he is sort of kind of unexpectedly basically has the nomination wrapped up. Youll see that totally ramping up, reaching out to think tank people and consultants, operatives from rival tam pains, members of Congress Campaigns and members of congress and then talking about internal strategy, how to ramp up fromming this lean operation to become a general election candidate. I read that the amount of money being raised this time in the last cycle by mitt romney, an enormous amount of money. Sounds like theyre behind. They are. Thats a story im working on now. If you look at romney, one reason i he was governor of massachusetts hat a Donor Network from that. Ran in 2008, built a network there. In 2012 he did not selffund in the primary so donald trump is not only starting from zero, literally from scratch, but about to true to woo donors who he has been saying i dont need them, i dont like you, you make people dishonest. So going to be a tough pitch to turn to these people and say, but come give me some money. You wonder how his base, this donald trump crowd thats dish mean, theyre all in. And they dont like the establishment, and they dont the big money, and you wonder hough thats going to play with them. Yeah. It will be interesting to see if that turns them off at all or if donald trump can make the pitch, which i heard him saying before, i dont want to have to sell off a hotel to run a campaign, if compelling pitch. Or maybe youll see them pitching in more. In and trying to help you. Might see donald trump using social media not just as a megaphone to tweet out photos and messages but to actually reach smallish donors and see if he can bring them in. Youre right about how he comes to the establishment and said, get it, theres some norms i have to follow. But as you also mention he is roning a nonideological campaignment wonder how theyll work that out. Who do you talk to on the establishment side . They its an interesting question bus on the one hand they are reassured when he comes to them and says, i recognize i need your help, whether an ground game or data or delegates are institutional know howe. Only been a politician for less than a year. They like that. Some of them not all but some are confused. One thing about his pitch, its an antiwashington, populist, antitrade pitch but not a typical republican pitch, and there are some people who are just not going to be able to sign on with hem for that with him for that reason, and we sad that. Republicans always its an old trite thing now that for democrats fall in love, republicans fall in line. Usually they manage. To there was a lot of consternation about reagan in the beginning but everybody came together. I wonder if it will happen this time. I sort of wonder, too. You have people saying can, im with her, not going to follow in line, but as donald trump knows winning begets winning so if he can show he has a compelling path to boat hilary. Nothing unifies the party more than defeating Hillary Clinton you. Might get a slow begrudging falling in lined. Nose holding. Exactly, rice. Ashley parker from the New York Times. Thank you. Thank you. More on trumps next step as he gears up for the general. Hillary clintons rival who wont quit. Bernie sanders promising to stick around no matter what the odds. Thats next. This is brad. His day of coaching begins with knee pain, when. Hey brad, wanna trade the all day relief of two aleve for six tylenol . Whats the catch . Theres no catch. You want me to give up my two aleve for six tylenol . No. For my knee pain, nothing beats my aleve. Now the nomination race that has not wrapped up. Democrats. Voters in West Virginia hid the polls next week, Analysts Expect sanders to win there. Sanders says he will stick around despite he is trailing by hundreds of delegates. Hillary clinton is setting the stage for her potential knockout punch, campaigning in california, the biggest prize on the table. Reporter good afternoon to you, and Hillary Clinton promised just moments ago to spend more time listening than talking, a direct swipe at donald trump. Clinton is working to fire up key constituencies in california because Bernie Sanders is pledging to stay in until every state votes. So clinton doing events with local congress members, Maxine Waters and karen bass here in the l. A. Area, also fundraising events here and online by telling people to help her stop donald trump. The Clinton Campaign released a new web video going after trump. I am a unifier. Well be a unified party. He is a con artist. A phony. Donald trump is a nonothing candidate. Donald is a bully. This is an individual you can expect plenty more of that after what has been a bruising primary campaign on the republican side. A lot of ferrell well sunny general election ads. West virginia, we mentioned senator sanders, appears to be winning and winning big there is that coal . Reporter i think theres no question about that. They seem to be really responding quite well to senator sanders message in terms of income inequality. He has been working it on the ground in West Virginia, talking be in difficult economy that so many folks are dealing with, noting that only 54 of working age people in West Virginia actually have a job. Sanders is talking about his ideas to help rebuild the economy in appalachia, which has been hard hit. This is not a poor country. That this country is the wealthiest con triin the history of the country in the history of the world and one family worth 149 billion. More wealth than the bottom 40 of the american people. The top one tenth of one percent own almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 . Reporter as you have been reporting, shep, of course, Hillary Clinton has a huge lead in terms of pledged delegates and bottom line she seems to be on her way the democratic nomination for president , bus does not want to risk an empire wasment at an open primary in california. Thank you, sir. Mike emanuel. Donald trump is promising a convention weve never seep before. The plan is to brig in some show biz to cleveland. An enormous email attack involving hundreds of millions of accounts. And criminals are reportedly trading the information right now. Real is touching a ray. Amazing is moving like one. Real is making new friends. Amazing is getting this close. Real is an animal rescue. Amazing is over twentyseven thousand of them. There is only one place where real and amazing live. Seaworld. Real. Amazing donald trump says he wants to add more show biz to this years Republican Convention and as the presumptive nominee he has the power to do it. He tells the New York Times the last g. O. P. Was, well, extraordinarily boring, to use his words. And he may use a Hollywood Talent Agency to up the party game cleveland. Lets bring in rebecca berg. A talent agency. Going to have a circus in there . What is he doing . Its anybodys guess at this point. Of course, donald trump is in the early stages of working with the Republican National committee now to plan the convention program. I for one hope there will be trump vodka and trump steaks available but well have to wait and see. The last convention was pretty entertaining. We had Clint Eastwood and an empty chair. What well have fewer in this convention are the sort of traditional Republican Leaders that were used to. So, mitt romney not planning to attend the convention. John mccain not planning to attend the convention, and then the two living run president s, george w. Bush, and george h. W. Bush, not attending. So going to be a very different program. Think we hall have dancers . Its possible. Anything is possible. Usually there are musical acts so thats not a huge departure from the past, although maybe different types of artists than we have seen. Got some good news on my way in here actually. Jim gillmor, the former governor of virginia who was a president ial candidate, told me in the fox news green room he is planning to attend and says, who knows, maybe ill be nominated on the floor. That be a fun surprise for us. He did get a handful of votes. No delegates a handful. The last one on the list. Everybody cant be a winner like donald trump. He does need money, though. Theyre working on that. Right . Yes. So, he needs money for his general Election Campaign. Theres a separate fund that goes to the convention, and hes been raising money for months already. Theyre 10 million from reaching the goal of funding the convention fully, and theres no federal funding for the convention so hey have head an added challenge. Donald trump is working with the Republican National committee to figure out how to raise money for his general Election Campaign and the republican nominee and on the democratic side as well at the president ial level raises money for the party, the national committee, and for state parties. So, theres a trickle down effect when you talk about president ial fundraising that is important for the party and its candidates in this cycle and moving forward. So its not just about donald trump and his campaign. He also is responsible now for bringing in money for the party. Its going to be a very hard sell for him to make to many donors and theres this organizational challenge that he faces as well. Having really not fundracees substantially during the primary. He brought in finance chairman steve unminimum u much who i think is from mortgage began stanley. Yes. He comes from the finance world, which is similar to mitt romney. He brought in his but from the finance community. Mitt romney one railing on wall street at the same time. This is as big wall treat bank as you get. A hard case to make. Exactly. And dont forget that donald trump throughout this entire primary process has railed against his competitors for accepting donations, accepting my from big donors he said they were bought and paid for by the donors and now donald trump will be asking the same donors for money, and going to have to explain that to his supporters and people he would like to be his supporters. Theyre trying to raise a billion dollars. Right. Thats not unusual for a president ial campaign. By this point in the election cycle in 2012 mitt romney was raising 100 million a month. To give you a sense of how much catching up donald trump has to do at this point. I guess you have to have it to be come pet tonight. Right . We know the Clinton Campaign has been raising money since fluff was a kitten and she is a full grown cat now. She has been thinking about her fundraising strategy, creating this Large Network of big donors for months now. This is something she has been working on for a very long time and also worked on this process in 2008. Donald trump has no experience in fundraising. He knows plenty of rich people for sure but building up that apparatus is a whole new challenge for him. Rebecca berg, from real clear politics. Com. Thank you. Thank you.
