That the voters you know, he won the delegates. He won it fair and square. Its that simple. We came out of our convention and yeah, hes had a strange run since the convention. You think hed want to focus on Hillary Clinton and her deficiencies. Paul ryan and others have been encouraging trump to get back on message and it appears he may have done that at a rally in iowa a few moments ago. Were going to be talking about the queen of corruption. Hillary clinton lacks the judgment, temperament and moral character to lead this country. Shes a dangerous liar. I was the first one i believe to use the word unfit in referring to her. Now they pick it up and they use it on me. I always thought i was extremely fit. In fact, all of my life i have been told you have the greatest temperament. If we dont pull this off, im blaming iowa. If we dont pull this off, im going to say i wasted a lot of money, time and energy. That i can tell you. All right. Lets start with the endorsements. Back and forth with the two of them, ryan and trump. Are we going to finally see a little unity . I dont know. I think that i think what trump did earlier this week either said the instincts was off or the strategy was off or the consultation with pence was off. Something. It was not good. And also this comes after do you remember ryan said this is about two months ago, i dont know if ill be able do. He gets there and he says okay, im in. I want to endorse him and then trump did that to him. Well, okay, my endorsement not a blank check either. It reminded me of when ryan was saying that in the sound bite about how things could change. Remember when todd akin in missouri said the ridiculous thing about rape and almost all republicans including opinion journalists here at the network were like, whoa, were done with that guy. Because things could change and things happen that way. Think about the trump endorsement tonight of ryan, i think it helps trump more than it helps ryan. Trump lost ryans district in wisconsin by 17 points. Paul ryan is up 66 points over his primary challenger in his district. So when trump said he was not quite there yet, quite a dis to ryan. Well, that means you dont want to win paul ryans district in wisconsin. If you want to win wisconsin, you would have to win that district. I think it actually probably at this point trump is trying to help himself more than ryan. Ryan doesnt need his help in his district. David points out that donald trump he used the same words. Didnt he use the same words, im not quite there, which is what paul ryan said about endorsing trump. Is this some unity . I took it as mocking paul ryan. I thought he was playing games. Im the nominee, paul ryan is like a puppet on the string. Youre the establishment guy, i will eric cantor you. Remember what happened to him in virginia and remember what happened to john boehner. If you dont play along with the revolution from the grass roots of the gop you will be out. Guess what . You know, i think this is so clear now. That paul ryan didnt back down. Paul ryan didnt take away his endorsement. But he did say as you played in the tape, eric, its that nothing is a blank check. I dont think it was so much that he was saying i want to pull my endorsement of our gop nominee but he was saying, listen, you are doing some things that are not only damaging to your effort, you are now damaging the Republican Party and down ballot candidates. So danas number about paul nehlen, the guy running against paul ryan, thats not a contest. Not even close. Not like oh, Donald Trumps word going to make a big difference in that race. Thats in Donald Trumps head. Yeah, im not sure that trump thought he was going to endorse nehlen, he would beat paul ryan. I hope not. Thats not realistic. Feels like donald trump is using using a little bit of leverage, playing a little game at the last minute he ends up endorsing him. On message does he get back on message now, attacking Hillary Clinton . He has to. Not only just getting on message and attacking Hillary Clinton, but how he attacks her. This idea that he thinks hes going to win over independent voters by calling Hillary Clinton names, even crooked hillary which is an accurate description of her i dont think is really going to change a lot of peoples minds. Both sides have decided that both are untrustworthy, both somewhat corrupt. Theyre going to say how is donald trump or Hillary Clinton help me or my family. Going back to what juan said about paul ryan the Republican Party for the last probably four years has actually done a lot of hard work, especially in ohio reaching out to the communities they didnt win over in the 2008 and 2012 elections, minorities and women. Paul ryan with his statement about not issuing a blank check isnt pulling his endorsement but hes making it clear to everyone throughout the country that Donald Trumps statements are Donald Trumps statements and not a reflection or statements of the Republican Party. Because he doesnt want the brand to be as damaged as it could be especially if donald trump loses. So dana points out that the donald trump endorsement of paul ryan good for donald trump. Is it good for paul ryan . I dont think it matters. I think its a little bit of silliness. Trump was teasing him. Theyre poking each other. Ryan poked back hes had kind of a strange run. Ryan didnt have to they. I think they like to do this. I think its a macho thing. I think the only problem for trump he shouldnt be talking about ryan. He should be talking about hillary. He was talking about ryan the other day when he said im not there yet, that was a story. You know, i think he should just say, yeah, im endorsing him and now ill attack hillary. The less he talks about ryan the better. The ryan thing is different. I think because ryan is so far ahead in his district. Hes won that district up every term since i dont know. 1994 or something. Its been a long time. So he always wins that district. Thats his. He would never lose it. But senators ayotte and mccain and a few others are actually in a lot of trouble in their district. In their state. So New Hampshire being one of them where i thought that donald trump would actually perform a lot better there. But the recent polls are that hes down by nine or 11 points. Guess who else is down by nine or 11 points . Kelly ayotte. If you really care about the future of conservatism and you want to make sure you care about the Supreme Court you have to have republican majority in the senate. And if all of these senators are going to go down as the ticket continues to go down, then youre not going to have any of that. Maybe ryan doesnt matter, but not supporting the other candidates is a problem. Can we talk about this a little . I know they want to move on to the next sound bite. This is what i keep hearing, if donald trump loses badly, it will be horrible down ticket. But not a lot of proof of that. There is a stat that someone pointed out to me yesterday or the day before yesterday that two times a party has won 49 out of 50 states. Both of those times thats a land slide in the president ial election. Both of those times the senate only moved by two seats. Yeah. That could be that would be a good outcome for the republicans at this point. But i think that the way that it was described to me for the last three months or so the National RepublicanSenatorial Committee has said, well, looks pretty good actually. Like everything around us is saying you know we should change our course and direction, but our senators are doing well. That includes portman in ohio. Toomey in pennsylvania and even ayotte until recently. The numbers are troubling for them. He if donald trump wants to be the head of the Republican Party he cant just run for himself. Thats why i just said that the instinct or the strategy to not endorse ryan or to play like the word games and mock and make fun of him, its silliness, but its having real world impact. I dont think its silliness. What were having this week is a debate among republicans. So as an outsider let me say what you see in the poll numbers the republicans are buying off donald trump. So lets say youre a republican who wants to vote for the republican nominee. I think in some cases you might say, im uncomfortable with trump so maybe i dont go to vote. Again, i have a big old fight with a congressman from pennsylvania last night on that issue. He said i cant endorse donald trump. I turned to him on air and i said, but pennsylvania went every single district in pennsylvania went donald trump. He won every single one. In a primary. Of course. But this guy represents the district. Right . Also won in New Hampshire. This is a bad precedent that republicans are saying i dont agree with donald trump fighting with mccain or ryan. Therefore or ayotte who might lose a senate seat. I mean n a state that he won the primary in. Katie, the next president going to put at least one, maybe up to three Supreme Court justices. I know. Federal and and dana said you cant do it without the gop controlled senate. Well see what happens. Just vote for the republican again. You have to. Or youre going to get a hillary. Let me just say, what is the paragon of conservatism, mr. Cruz said, vote your conscience. Hes another one. Some people, eric, are thinking, you know what, my conscience cant abide someone who behaves i cant trust my conscience. I told you to you know the buckley rule . Yes. Yes. But this guy cant win if you look at the polls. The most conservative candidate is the one youre supposed to vote for. Is that what we did . The most conservative. Is that what we did . I dont know. Is that what we did . This is the most conservative candidate that can win . You have two. You have a choice of two. Either Hillary Clinton or trump. The buckley rule is about supportering the republican. Thats what we have. If thats the case, you might have had john kasich or jeb bush. You have to weigh this, katie, ill throw it to you. Yes, federal judges and Supreme Court justices on the one hand. Or i just dont like the way he talks to other people. Its not about not just about the way he talks to other people, but the fact his policies actually dont line one a lot of the conservative principles that have been exwhite housed for espoused for generations thats brought people out of freedom. I think whats the choice here . When donald trump won the primary, i wrote a column about how this is not a race about republicans versus democrats. Not republican nominee versus democrat nominee. This is a democrat primary 2. 0. Donald trump has policies that line up with Bernie Sanders and who has supported people like Hillary Clinton your only other choice is Hillary Clinton. Their politics are similar. It is somewhat interesting to look at the conundrum that people are in. If you warned early on about the possibility of trump not being able to win in general election now youre being blamed for the result of showing that oh, you were right. Thats not what im saying. Maybe not you, but but im saying if youre a republican, you dont vote for the republican because you dont like the way his attitude, you dont vote, youre in essence electing hillary. Can i make one but if if he cant this is his to lose. Thats what i said last night on the Oreilly Factor to you. Hes making this bad stuff to him. He the change. Well have chance to talk about what else could he do, how could he get back on offense and put hillary back on her heels . There are ways you can do it, but its been a tough three weeks since the convention. No doubt. Heres what it looks like to me. Hes running for himself. Hes running against the Republican Party. And sticking his finger in their eye at every opportunity. That may be at the case, but at this point in the game but you have no choice . You dont. You just dont. In other words, to hell with the republicans who have been laboring you dont have them. Theyre theyre gone. Not one of the choices. It is up to trump to unify the party and its very clear at this point that hes now endorsing paul ryan because its beneficial to him and because it made him look as juan said hes in it for himself. Its up to him to negotiate in a way that gets people on to his team. He has made it impossible for many republicans in these tough districts, in these tough states to do that because they cannot afford to be tied to things he said and the poll they dont get a pass. Gets a pass, sometimes what he says is so hilarious. Its funny in the press. But if youre kelly ayotte in New Hampshire and you if you said Something Like that, you would be buried. Like hes unique. He wants to lead a party of politicians who theyre like regular people. Okay. I think theyre wrapping me but i cant hear a thing in my ear right now. Later this hour well take your questions on the president ial race. Please go to our facebook page. Post them now. But up next, brace yourself, Hillary Clinton actually took some questions from the press today. 241 days its been and then this happened. Everything else that i think theyre owed here in america.

She was at a joint convention for black and hispanic journalists and took the questions. She was asked about her claim on Fox News Sunday that the fbi director backs up her email story. I was pointing out on in both of those instances that the director comey had said that my answers in my fbi interview were truthful. Thats really the bottom line here. I may have short circuited it and for that, i you know, ill try to clarify. Because i think Chris Wallace and i were probably talking past each other. Because of course he could only talk to what i had told the fbi and i appreciated that. She went on the defensive when asked about her honesty. Every time i have done a job people have counted on me and trusted me. I recognize that i have work to do. But when i started running for the senate in new york, a lot of the same things were said. I won. I worked hard for the people of new york. And i was reelected with 67 of the vote. I served as secretary of state and when i left i had a 66 approval rating. So ask yourselves were 66 of the people in new york wrong . Were 66 of the American Public wrong . Katie, she got four pinocchios from the Washington Post on her answer to Chris Wallace. She did. Now she comes back and says, well, actually, chris and i are talking past each other. What im saying is that the fbi director, jim comey, said that my answers to the fbi were true. Does this satisfy you . Well, actually, what i saw reported was that fbi didnt actually do an investigation of whether Hillary Clinton told the truth in her interview with the fbi and my understanding that it wasnt recorded. So she continues to lie about this issue. But this is the problem. Hillary will never admit that she is wrong. She will never admit that she has sent or received classified information. If she were to do so she would be admitting to crime. So she has no choice than to double, triple down this. Shes going to be continually about it. Donald trumps numbers on trustworthy are actually above Hillary Clinton, meaning theyre worse. I dont know how that happened but it did. So shes not going to have is a lot to lose on the issue moving forward. So her honest and trustworthy numbers are upside down and Chris Wallace interview didnt help out at all. What did she say . I short circuited my answer. What in the world does that mean . Well, what it means shes saying she was responding to the idea that she told the truth to the fbi and the director confirmed that. But in fact, chris was talking about public states that she statements that she made. How convenient. Five days later, shes cleaning up that mess. But i think so her honest and trustworthy numbers have been upside down for more than a year and a half now. Doesnt seem to matter. Shes still leading in the votes. So the public is still willing to vote for her. Both candidates are in the tank when it comes to trustworthy numbers. So i think that the republica republicans they can continue to press on this if they want. Im glad she was asked the question, i thought the applause by the group is unsavory. Another reason that a lot of people in america dont trust the media. Because theyre applauding a president ial candidate whos talking about how shes trustworthy when they asked her a question about how she was not in a recent interview. I think the Republican Party im not saying move on, but you have to figure out a way to get on offense. You have to change the story line. I would start with a really conc
