FOXNEWSW Shepard Smith Reporting May 23, 2016

Im Harris Faulkner in today for shepard smith. Donald trump is running neck and neck with Hillary Clinton nationally, and its not in just one poll. But in the average of all polls according to real clear politics. It has the likely republican and democrat nominees tied at 43 . A massive leap for donald trump who weeks ago trailed clinton by double digits. Analysts are saying a part of the bump comes from r rallying around their presumptive nominee. And for her part, Hillary Clinton is taking fire from some fellow democrats with the party still split between her and Bernie Sanders. At a rally today she attacked donald trump and the g. O. P. s economic positions. Watch. None of this is fair to families. Donald trump may not care but we do. And so do working families across our country. Donald trump, dismissed the idea that clinton will retake the lead when her primary fight ends and says his numbers are only going to rise. We certainly hope. So otherwise i wouldnt be doing it. Will tell you i think were doing really well. We have had some tremendous rallies, people are in love with what were saying, and i think well do very well. Think well do even better than that. Some perspective on this. Of Course National polling does not decide elections. All comes down to each state and the electoral college. We have live team coverage, dan springer is in seattle but we begin with David Lee Milner new york city outside trump tower. Trump wrapped up a meeting. We were anticipating with a possible vicepresident ial pick, senator. Whats the news on that . Reporter indeed he did. Bottom line here, we will likely not know who trump picks as a running mate until the Republican Convention this summer in cleveland. That said, donald trump met for about an hour and a half today with tennessee senator bob corker. The meeting taking place behind closed doors. Corker is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and that is significant. Republic republic insiders believe corker has a shot at being up for consideration as vicepresident , selected by donald trump. Corker in the past praised trumps Foreign Relations speech, and trump in turn has described corker as, quoting now, fantastic. Corker is one of the wealthiest men in the u. S. Senate, and like donald trump, he made much of his money in real estate and construction. Corker said the meeting today, though, was focused on foreign and domestic policy, and as for all that talk and speculation about vicepresident , he said it did not come up. Listen. I have no reason to believe that im being considered senator, would you consider a role in future Trump Administration . I think every as ive said before, i am doing what im doing because i care deeply about policy. I want to see our country succeed. Want to see us solve the big problems we have as a nation, and i think those types of questions, obviously you want to know what the circumstances were, what the relationship is. Corker would not talk about what he described as conjecture, and, harris, Many Republican insiders do believe that if corker is not selected as vicepresident , his name could be very high on the list for secretary of state in a future Trump Administration if there should be one. Thank you for give us the details of what happened. What about outside . There were people gathered today. Reporter outside trump tower, there were noontime demonstrations about 20 or so veterans were here to protest donald trump. It was not a very large group but they were very vocal. Specifically they say they want trump to be held accountable for money raised at a fundraiser last january that he took place the night he skipped a fox news debate. Trump had said 6 million was raced. The campaign revised the fig downward to 4. 35 million. Published reports say it was 2. 4 million. The veterans want an apology from trump and are demanding to know where the money went. Listen. It is unaccepteddable that he made a commitment and failed to live up to it. He said he would raise 6 million for veterans, and claimed to have done so, and yet theres been no accountability for the money. He has failed to show where the money went and failed to raise as much as he claimed to have raised. Reporter the veterans say a Trump Administration would be reckless and dangerous. Trumps campaign did not respond to the demonstration today. In the past, though, harris, the campaign has said that Illegal Immigrants in the United States are treated better than our veterans. Thank you very much. Ted cruz is still playing the delegate game nearly three weeks after he suspended his campaign. His supporters picked up all but one of washington states 41 delegate slots over the weekem but their allegiance is based on the results in the states primary tomorrow. Donald trump is the only candidate still in the running. How does that work . Team fox coverage continues in seattle. Dan . Reporter when it comes to washington state, donald trump better have enough delegates to win the nomination, otherwise well see a whole lot of defectors. Party activists gathered to vote won gets to attend the convention in cleveland and it was a rout. Almost a shutout win for ted cruz. 40 of the 41 delegate spots up for grabs were won by cruz supporter, even trumps own state Campaign Director failed in his bid to become an national delegate. Ted cruz dropped out of the race the day before he was scheduled to hold a Campaign Event in seattle. He obviously had a tremendous Grassroots Organization on the ground here. Party leaders say the delegate dominance is not about creating chaos in cleveland but having a voice. I think the main reason why the cruz folks remained so organized, knowing that we have already got a presumptive nominee, is they really, really want to affect the platform. Theyre concerned that the platform reflect their conservative values. Reporter Trump Supporters disappointed and say theyre stress that the party will come together. What are we expecting for the primary . Reporter donald trump should win big. Three other republicans are on the ballot because they officially withdrew after ballots were mailed out. But this is essentially as open a primary as you can get there is no Party Registration in washington. Anyone can vote in the primary but voters have to pledge loyalty to one of the parties to have their vote count for the partys primary. Republicans allocate all 44 tellings proportionally based on the results tomorrow. The democrats will ignore the results because they picked delegate in a caucus a few months ago with Bernie Sanders winning big here, getting 73 of the vote. Thank you very much. Here with me now is g. O. P. Strategist tony, good to see you. I want to unpack this. Well start with senator bob corker. You saw he said he met with donald trump today and they talked mainly policy. Some interesting talk, chatter, if you will, what is being called we know from dr. Ben carson that potentially some of the names on the vp list for trump. He would be areassuring and rational choice for trump. Thrown being Foreign Policy is the one area where there is significant concern, even those who support him. As hit capacity to happen the job, having never before really dealt with it. When you have the Senate Chairman of the Foreign Relations committee and joe biden was the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair when barack obama tapped him. He would be a very rational choice but a wise show that trump is taking very seriously the idea that Foreign Policy needs to be much better developed and thought out. On economy, immigration, other issues where trump is strong he doesnt indians a vicepresident at pick. Theyre both businessmen, very successful in that category so they do come together on points. Reporter a little bit of a head fake. Donald trump said i want someone from inside. I dont need a businessman like myself. To there is potential this is just a legitimate policy meeting, certainly good for donald trump to get briefings from people in the know but i think cork were be a wise person to keep on the short list. I like the way you put it, head fake. Lets continue to kind of unpack the news that is being made today. Theres a brand new web ad that donald trump has taken i should say supporters of donald trump have put together. Take a look at it. It really sticks it to bill clinton, which is the person who his wife is really floating out there to lead her economic policy. Lets watch. Very nervous. No woman should be subjected to it. It was an assault. He starts to bite on my top lip and i try to pull away from him. I saw your eyes get wide. What are you thinking . Im an ad maker when you have the voices of bill clintons alleged sexual assaults in an ad i think thats powerful and very hard not to feel the impact. So, look, the clinton cam pain and super pacs came out with ad showing donald trump speaking in the derogatory way bat women. These are women, three of which we know made real serious allegations against bill clinton, based on sexual misconduct, and this is their voices reminding people again in a new environment this is what you get when you get the clintons. A lot of the drama, the salacious scandal, and people make the mistake to think he survived in 1998 so will survive today. Theres much less tolerance even among millenals for men behaving badly against women and the more this rises, the more negative it paints a picture of the clintons in the modern environment. When you have a feminist movement that is part of, if you will, some of the establishment and one of the political parties, its also less tolerated that women on women negatively would be the case. Women arent going to put up with that either. This looks bad for both hillary and bill clinton. Youre absolutely right. Looking at the exit polling from the states in the primary exBernie Sanders in some states is beating human being income certain demographics of women, particularly women under 40. So this is going be a problem hillary carries with her into the election and its their own doing because they picked this fight with donald trump first, suggesting what he says about women disqualify identifies him and he says what bill clinton has done to women could disqualify you. You saw the real claire average of all the polling and its putting them neck and neck as presumptive nominees of their parties, donald trump and Hillary Clinton. How do you explain how much tighter that is now and its only may . We typically dont even look at that time that until its closer. Trajectory is what im looking for this direction of the polls. What were seeing is donald trump gains the more he campaigns and Hillary Clinton loses the more she is exposed. So, this always very big problem for her going forward. Consolidation between trump ice big part. 57 of republicans are now Backing Trump for the reason that hillary is the democratic nominee, but hillary had Bernie Sanders in the race when she was beating donald trump. And the 0 reason she is dropping is her up favorability goes up the longer she has obviously this fight to take on. Not only with bernie but picking one with donald trump now and losing. And donald trump wins when it comes to men in polling. Overwhelmingly. And starts to lose the women based on the ad were seeing, like this brutal one today. The language of using the actual women who alleged these things happened from her husband, that starts to tick away at the other category, women. Also independent voters. Donald trump, believe it or not, is absolutely racking up double digit leads whoa due say believe it or not. The wisdom has been he is such an unacceptable candidate he plays to a narrow part of the republican primary base and can he is disproving it. The problem for hillary is donald trump started the race with very high negatives and won the nomination. Hillary clinton started the race with high positives among democrats and now injured wasnt even among Bernie Sanders voters. Trajectory going in the wrong direction for her. Good to see you. Hillary clinton says she will be the democratic nominee despite the things that tony just said, but Bernie Sanders insists he still has a shot, for all the things continue things tony said. Now he is pressuring her to show up for a debate raith right here on Fox News Channel, fnc. Venezuela senator Bernie Sanders is campaigning in california, the largest primary prize of all and he says a big win there will help make his case he is the best candidate to take on donald trump in november. Hillary clinton says theres no way sanders can win the nomination but is promising to keep fighting until the con reigns this summer and also agreed to a debate right here on Fox News Channel before california. Clinton had said shell consider it. Mike emanuel its at a sanders rally in east los angeles. Got your email on democratic sources confirming sanders will get five slots on them democrats platform writing committee. Whats the news . Reporter Democratic Leaders are trying appease Bernie Sanders and his supporters by giving them that influence in the critical Party Platform committee, and theyre hoping its a step towards unity. Bernie sanders is competing for every last delegate, expected to spend the entire week in california trying to make a difference on june 7th. Sanders is aggressively going after Democratic Party chair debby wasserman schultz, endorsing her primary opponent and is not stopping there. Clearly i favor her opponent. His views are much closer to mine than than wassermanshuts, and let me say this in all due respect to the current chairperson, if elected president she would not be reaopinioned to be chair of the dnc. Reporter in response Debbie Wasserman schultz said she will remain neutral in the democratic president ial primaries. Hillary clinton not the only person feeling the bern, apparently. Bernie sanders, that is. Hillary clinton, i understand, is headed to california shortly, and she is also telling supporters that the contest on then democrat side is over. Wife is she going to all these different places . She clearly does not want to be embarrassed in california is so going to spend a good amount of time here this week, but she is also taking direct aim at donald trump every chance she gets. I do sort of wish that the Presumptive Republican nominee [booing] could have been around to hear the stories i heard, maybe then he wouldnt say that wages are too high in this country. Maybe he would finally open his ears and listen to what working people everywhere are saying, that America Needs a raise. Reporter a popular line there before a union group in detroit, before clinton gets on the plan to come out here to california. Finally the debate over the debate. The next debate. Bernie sanders says hell do it on the fnc. What about Hillary Clinton . Reporter youre absolutely right. Bernie sanders says he is in. Hillary clinton says she would consider it but the internet reminds us that she was very eager to debate back in the 2008 cycle. Honestly, i can believe that this is the most important job in the world, its the toughest job in the world, you should be willing to campaign for every vote and willing to debate anytime, anywhere. Reporter well see if anytime anywhere means a debate on fox news before the june 7th primary. Good to see you, thank you. The mystery of egyptair flight 804.
