Afternoon, forgive and forget. Forget about it. Donald trumps onetime rivals are back in the headlines and its not to throw their support behind the Presumptive Republican nominee. Far from it. Ted cruz and marco rubio making their first big appearances since their campaigns imploded and ted cruz is now suggesting he could get back in the race one week after he called it quits. It all hinges on the primaries today, specifically nebraska. Ted cruz says hes not holding his breath for a win there but if he does pull off a victory, he says he wont rule out anything. If there is a path to victory, we launched this campaign to win. The reason we suspended the campaign, i didnt see a viable path to victory. If that changes, we will certainly respond accordingly. It might add a little suspense to todays primary. The results out of West Virginia and nebraska didnt matter, right . Now you can bet people will be watching the polls closely. So even though theres virtually no chance of stopping ted cruz, it sound like ted cruz is still stinging from the loss. And we also heard from marco rubio today. He spoke at a Foreign Policy think tank in washington today and took a few swipes at the gops new standard bear erbeare. Its its a lot easier to say why do we give all this money to nato . A reference there for trumps controversial call to cut funding for nato. Its one of the reasons donald trump is headed to capitol hill on thursday, the day after tomorrow, to meet with republican lawmakers, including the house speaker, paul ryan, who says that right now hes not ready to support donald trump. That meeting is likely the most important but dont tell that to speaker ryan. Today hes trying to downplay the whole thing sending reporters this email, subject ryan trump. No, not really. You should know that thursdays ryan trump meeting is not the most important thing happening in washington, d. C. This week. Quinnipiac university polled three swing states likely critical in winning the gop election, it found that donald trump is running neck and neck with Hillary Clinton. In florida clinton leads 43 to 42 and in ohio donald trump beats Hillary Clinton 43 to 39 . Its way to early for headtohead matchups. But one thing the polling does suggest, were in for a brutal and bumpy road to november. So buckle up. John roberts is here in new york city for us this afternoon. Hey, john. Good afternoon, do you, shep. As you said, those polls dont mean that much in far out from the general election. Heck, a lot can change between now and next week. What they may be is a very powerful signal to a lot of the big republican donors sitting on the sidelines thinking independent not going to go in with donald trump because hes going to get blown out in historic proportions. He may entice some of them to come on board. Its also power to rankandfile republicans to say maybe the time is now to get behind trump. Tease what rick perry is thinking. This morning on fox news, he said that he believes that people will begin to rally around donald trump but that it may just take some time. Heres perry. I think you will see a very Strong Coalition and coalescing behind donald trump as we go along. Everybody needs their time to have the conversations. I admire speaker ryan for reaching out and saying, hey, we need to talk to each other. Theres nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that and also speaker ryan has not said never trump. A lot of people are looking for a cu coom bayah movement. It looks like trump is trying to say im carrying the torch for the american cause. He was on the Glen Beck Program when he said it. He does have a block with which he can yield a lot of leverage. If he goes in with that many delegates, he has a lot of influence to say i want people on these committees and i want to make a big speech at the convention. Marco rubio still has 160 something delegates and john kasich has a whole lot of delegates, too. I think youre going to see them playing as well. I dont expect he would get back in. Lets bring in jackie, the politics editor for the daily beast. Looks like youre in new york, right, jackie . No, im in d. C. Well, they fixed their background. Ted cruz back in it. Really . I have a time believing hes going to do it. Yesterday ted cruz and his folks with blaming marco rubio and john kasich for the fact that cruz couldnt win. If he does decide to get back in, i think it would be a tough climb back to prominence. Did you see this quinnipiac poll . Public policy polling. Did you see that . I didnt see the Public Policy poll. The quinnipiac poll basically tells us its closer than all the pundits have been saying. The pundits been acting like theres no way donald trump can win this. Look, this is florida, pennsylvania and ohio. If these numbers hold up, anybody can win this. You know, the thing that struck me about those polls is that Hillary Clintons weakness with white men. That was something you saw in each of those states. Shes winning with women and minorities but when it comes to white men, shes so outpaced by donald trump. They need to figure out how to bring some of those guys into the fold. Right now that weakness is affecting her across the board. What do you mean shes being outpac outpaced . White men dont like Hillary Clinton and dont want to vote for her. He seems to feel he can do better with women yet he keeps having women problems. What should his strategy be . Im not a strategist but it doesnt look like the needle is moving yet. Hes in the hole Something Like 75 in the general electorate with women. You have to think maybe not talking about women for a while would help donald trump. He said hes been selffunding but thats not entirely true. And now he needs another billion. How are they planning to do that . You know, youre right. Donald trump actually has been taking contributions, even though he says hes selffunding, he was raising even over this whole primary. That said, he does need to make peace with some of these republican donors that have been a little squeamish about him because he does need to raise, as you mentioned, quite a bit of money to beat clinton machine as we refer to it so much because everyone is going to be kind of out for blood and youre going to need money to defend yourself. When we first heard about this donald trump and paul ryan meeting, that sounded to me like this is the part where they come together, paul ryan explains to other conservatives, more establishment types, heres how and why you back donald trump. Then theres been all this friction in the meantime. That part i dont understand. Does any of your reporting suggest what that is . The friction between ryan and trump . Yeah. Paul ryan said come meet, and instead of having a lull period between then and then, paul ryan comes out and says ill back down and donald trump says we may not need to be united. Whats that rhetoric about . It seems like both are trying to posture. Paul ryan was giving some of his moderates maybe some cover, that they dont have to go and back donald trump. When it comes to the actual meeting that theyre sitting down, donald trump has this way of being very blustery in public but then when he gets face to face when the person hes squaring off with, he gets very civil. Have you seen the civil side . The civil side of donald trump . Yeah, i have actually. Tell me about it. What is a conversation like . Its not full of bluster, you just suggested . I interviewed him actually was when i was at usa today. We always had a civil conversation. We were usually talking about his books or his role in the last republican race. But it wasnt going after the media or anything like that. And weve seen that in other places throughout this contest where there is a softer side of trump. Interesting. Jackie, thank you.

Some republicans in the stop Trump Campaign are not giving up in finding a Third Party Candidate. They may be running out of time. They just missed the deadline to get on the ballot in texas and they still dont have a contender. So who could be running . Peter barnes is on this today. Peter shep, youre right. Theres more buzz about them launching a Third Party Candidate. And ted cruz just said in a radio interview he would not be a Third Party Candidate for president. And some never trump conservatives say it is too late to launch a Third Party Candidate anyway, it would miss important deadlines this month and texas and North Carolina and any competitive president ial campaign would likely cost more than a billion dollars, a high bar for fundraising at this point, shep. Who do analysts say has a realistic shot at this . And how realistic is even the whole concept . Well, conservative leader bill kristol, editor of the weekly standard, hes continuing to push this Third Party Campaign against trump and Hillary Clinton. In the latest issue of his magazine he writes, it is not too late to give republican voters, a majority of whom have not supported donald trump in the primaries an alternative, an independent republican candidate can help prevent the con flags of the republican party. And another trump conservative told me today in this age of Trump Television and social media, all free, you may not need a billion dollars to run anymore. Well, trump might not. I dont know about anybody else. Peter barnes, thank you. A lot more politics ahead in this hour. In nebraska, ted cruz is closely watching.

As i reported, ted cruz has suggested he might jump back into the race if he beats donald trump there. Political analysts say trump is on the way to clinching the nomination now that all of his republican rivals have dropped out. Team fox coverage now douglas in charleston, West Virginia, where voters are head together polls. First lets go to jonathan live in omaha. Reporter if senator ted cruz is considering unsuspending his campaign, hes leaving it until very late in the day to let people know. Its a novel Campaign Strategy to announce that youre out and then that you might get back in. I suspect that if senator cruz had thought he was going to win nebraska, he might have stuck it out another week. On the other hand, the gop hierarchy here reflects the National Republican party split on donald trump. The governor has endorsed him while senator ben sapp has been one of trumps most outspoken critics. Cruz was fancied to win here before he suspended his campaign and early voting, theres been a lot of that before that suspension could help half his numbers. Polls close at 8 central, 9 00 eastern. Jonathan, thanks. Donald trump is telling supporters to go out and vote in todays other contest in West Virginia, even though hes also said he doesnt need to win there. We go to charleston, West Virginia. Hello, doug. Reporter hey, shep. Turnout at this polling place has been light to moderate from what were hearing. Weve heard turnout at other places have been very high, to the point where theyve had to bring in extra machines. 106,000 votes were pulled in. Marie cast her ballot for donald trump and did so, she says, reluctantly. I voted for trump because its sort of the lesser between two evils, the criminal or the wild man. Ill take the wild man. Even that remark that trump made last week saying people need to show up for the primary, people are showing up and the reason is fairly obvious. He wants everybody to be working and hes not going to do anything against the coal mines. And without coal West Virginia is truly nothing. I grew up at a time when coal was king, and now the coal miners are out of work, they say theyll retrain them but to do what . Reporter that woman told us she is a nurse and she has seen a dramatic increase in overdose visits to the emergency room and increase in people suffering from anxiety, depression, stress, all attributable to the devastation in the economy from the loss of coal here. Thanks very much. What makes a food healthy . The food and Drug Administration vor reports it may change the definition of the world healthy.
