say. Good morning. It is thursday may 5th. It feels like may. Beautiful out there. 36 and rainy. It is 36 and rainy. Weve got managing editor of Bloomberg Politics and cohost on msnbc. Dont you love him . Who doesnt. America loves him. He is americas anchor. I think hes getting there. Some breaking news. Yes. As most of our viewers will remember Mike Barnicle offered a new truck. What a dummy. If donald trump won the nomination. A pickup truck. I was so sure we now have a legal ruling. Theres a website called law news. Com reached out to a new
york city contract attorney to see if the wager between mika and barnicle was, in fact, legally enforceable. Here is what they found. I saw the picture of mika pointing at the camera. We have been gloating. Listen closely. Under new york law a valid contract requires an offer, acceptancish consideration, reliance and capacity to enter into an agreement. Contracts attorney keith stein said, quote, it appears all of those elements were met in this case. Where was he when i needed him. Barnicle made an offer to buy mika a new truck, mika accepted in front of multiple witnesses and television audience. As for the issue of consideration. Although mika did not specifically offer anything in return, barnicle received a great deal of publicity and skplour on his show which led to satisfy the consideration requirement. This is longer than most supreme
court decisions. The last line of the ruling, suspe suspect. Here is the closer. It certainly appears mika and barnicle were of sound mind. Look at the picture. Can we just get mikas picture there. Lawnewz. Com. Respected name in legal analysis. Give me the pickup truck. Thank you. Weve embarrassed our selves again. Then there was one. The Republican Partys president ial race has come to an end. Donald trump is the last
standing. Therefore can say donald trump is the presumptive nominee. It is official. It is official. Everybody take this in. It comes after Ohio Governor john kasich suspended his Campaign Last night making the difficult decision as his plane sat on the runway yesterday waiting to go to d. C. A source tells nbc kasich decided he didnt want to go raise money to simply drop out two weeks later. So before his wife and two daughters, the governor reflected on his path. I have always said the lord has a purpose for me as he has for everyone. As i suspend my campaign, i have renewed faith, deeper faith, that the lord will show me the way forward and fulfill the purpose of my life. Willie, let me first say i
was moved. What are you laughing about . Nothing. I was moved he held the announcement in my basement from upstate new york. Extraordinarily well preserved. I thought it was a beautiful speech. No, it was a beautiful spe h speech. That was the most delicate. I love kasich. I supported him after bush dropped out of the race. It was very moving. He had nowhere to go. I know he had to be frustrated you know when we did the meeting in New Hampshire, all along i said this is a guy that will came off. Were in a parallel universe. Regular universe twoterm governor of the state of ohio lost the most important state,
well respected all those things would be pluses. They turned out to be negative and he went headtohead with this storm called trump. The republican establishment given the choice of kasich twoterm governor, first budget chairman to balance the budget since the 1920s instead of this guy who had been in washington for a very long time, they chose ted cruz. The tabment got behind ted cruz and ended horribly for him. Seems like years ago but he did finish second in New Hampshire. He had a chance to parlay that into becomg the establishment choice but he did not do that. Why not . W why . He lacked defining what he was about. He wasnt a career politician. The establishment. This was a personal thing. For some reason they were more comfortable cozying up to a guy who shattered the brand in 2013 than they were john kasich. A guy who, again, had balanced what everybody called the unbalanceable budget. In the end two main reasons the establishment didnt turn to him. They didnt think he could beat trump. The other thing is, as much as we like him, he did not reach out in a way that made them feel invested and personally. You mean the washington crowd. Washington, members of congress, other governors, they just didnt feel they couldnt see outside themselves. They wanted to be sucked up to and he didnt do it. I heard kasich, mean ive known the guy forever, loved the guy. We were on opposite sides. I was voting against budgets, appropriation bills, battled but i loved him. Serious issues. He was very good. That speech yesterday, he didnt talk about donald trump. He didnt talk about politics. He didnt talk about the race, really, he just talked about his experience over a year or so. Having done town hall with him in ohio and watch the way he interacts with people, talk to a woman worried the American Dream was dead for her. I watched him. They both had tears in their eyes. It was real. It wasnt for the cameras. Its a very smart guy. I think the experience for him was almost spiritual. First of all, still the governor of ohio. Second, donald trump is talking about putting him on the ticket. Smart. Hes the host governor of the convention so hell be visible in cleveland. Ill tell you the most moving moment of the campaign may have been when the kid drove from georgia to ohio and started crying, hugging. Amazing. Talked about it yesterday. Again, it was one of those remarkable moments that
transcended politics. On a human level kasich really connected. Which is why i dont understand why those in washington couldnt see the value of what he presented to the country instead of what they needed for themselves in terms of sucking up. They wanted their own hugs. They have a big one now. The Republican Party reacted yesterday, tweeted. Seriously. What did they tweet . They tweeted this. Thank you to the spire republican field for a hard fought race. The party is better for your efforts. Okay. All right. There you go. Thats it. Its kind of like lets go from not very smart to unself aware. This is bobby stepping out of the shower and saying it was all a dream in dallas. A thorn in the side of trump in the Republican Party. He tweeted that and said is this
a parody account, the senator said. Thats a great response. In an interview with lester holt for nbc nightly news, trump discussed whether he felt the bruising primary race had taken a toll on his numbers. Your negatives are staggering, disapproval 69 , africanamericans 88 , latinos 79. People under 34, 75 disapprove. How much of that is selfinflicted by some of the rhetoric from the primary campaign and how do you heal that while still respecting those that got you here. Came out 49 to 31 with Hillary Clinton and i havent started with Hillary Clinton yet. I think ill do well with women. The last few states i won in landslides i won with women, africanamericans, hispanics, i won at every single level. You discard all these numbers. I dont discard anything. I just started. I just got it not even 24 hours ago. Those are the challenges mark halperin. You look at the percentages. He cant win unless he gets 32, 33 support of hispanics. He cant win without doing much better with women right now. Those are the great challenges in front of him, corey, paul, entire trump win. As a snapshot he cant win where we are today. Lets wait and see. Weve seen president ial races in the country, Michael Dukakis was ahead of bush. Lets not compare. Today as to whether he can come back are making a mistakes. Lets wait and see. Maybe he can. I would say anyone that judges the outcome of this race should look at what happened and ask themselves if they thought any of this would happen state after state after state after
state. With donald trump, people keep saying hillary will get i hope so, but i dont know. I really dont know. Here is the thing, nobody knows. Willie geist, New York Times wrote an article how i missed the trump thing, very forthright. You look what so many said, what nate silver said time and time and time again. Look at the fact he was wrong every single time about trump. Trump started at 1 , 2 , upside down in the polls. I believe demographics is destiny. I believe what works in the primary doesnt work in the general election, that it is back to blocking and tackling. I believe trump has a huge mountain to climb. But we dont know, because everybody was wrong about him before. Who really has i went on twitter last night. I really stopped going on it. My news feed which i always went on, talk about mentions, i stopped doing that in 1943. I always loved the news feed. Last night, seriously nine out of ten, were just vile antitrump, heated rhetoric. Ivities like seriously. Just report the news. Everybody is making the same mistake they made before. Yeah. I mean, this started last june when we said this guy is into something. Hes tapped into a vein. Everybody dismissed it. Here we are with him as republican nominee. I agree this chaos theory this donald trump that anything can happen. I do agree as well those numbers are really tough. I dont know how he makes the case as he tries to pivot to a latino voter that hes for them, hes on their side. The number for mitt romney was 24 latino support. Everybody agreed, every smart person in the Republican Party agreed that theres no way a republican can become president with those numbers and we have to do better next time. I just dont know how donald trump does better than 24. Hes going to have to do an incredible 180 somehow and change everything he said over the last year. On latinos, women. The convention offers him an opportunity, will be the first time a lot of americans have really looked at donald trump the candidate. The Vice President ial selection offers him an opportunity. But he doesnt have many opportunities beyond that. If he goes into august with these numbers, i will say in august, hes going to lose big time. The window, while we have six months, hes got about a twomonth window to start turning this stuff around quickly or he will lose. So if they want to win, they better be all hands on deck right now. This is not going to be a slow du turn. I was surprised that yesterday he stuck to the muslim thing. Thats a loser with the majority of americans. Youve got republicans like me. Im not going to vote for a guy stuck by it. Hes got to make the turn and say this is a system we can put in place where we can get muslims allow muslims to come into america, maybe not from syria if they dont have the proper hes got to start making turns like that. Ill tell you, im not im never going to vote for a guy who says they are going to ban somebody because of the god they worship. Hes going to have to make that turn fast. Maybe he does it over the next couple of weeks. On the trump side, those wrong about him are the ones most definitive he has no chance. He and his team have a million things to get done. There are not enough hours in the day to get them done, start to improve, thinking through policy, et cetera. I agree. He doesnt have a lot of time to change the perceptions here with the voters. Hes got to do it fast. The problem is clinton people are up and running. They have a war room, opposition research, a plan of how they are going to dismantle trump. The trump people are just learning how to do this. On that Hillary Clinton has set her sights firmly on donald trump tweeting a web video full of republicans slamming the presumptive nominee. Here is a part of it. I am a unifier. Were going to be a unified party. Wbr id wbr9851 a con artist. A phony. Donald trump is the know nothing candidate. Donald is a bully. This is an individual who mocked a disabled reporter. I dont remember. Who attributed a reporters questions to her menstrual cycle. Blood coming out of her wherever the most vulgar person ever to aspire to the presidency. A man trying to feel big by making others look small. Dont worry little marco. The bullying, the greed, the showing off. Im really rich. The misogyny, absurd third b
grade they at rex. Count to ten, donald. Hes racebaiting, kpeno phobic narcissistic bigot. A level i dont think this country has seen. He would not be the commander in chief we need to keep our country safe. This guy so unfit to be commander in chief. His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies in america would make the world less safe. What do you think, willie. I think as the Republican Campaign was going on, Clinton Campaign was sitting there hitting record every time a republican said something about him. The message there, even his party wbrid wbr10631 finds him unpalatable, how could you even consider voting for donald trump. Theres a lot more to come. Thats an opening salvo in what will be a relentless against trump. As you said, this is not something he can wait until the
convention. They are ready to attack him. Hes a oneman operation. This is not going to work the way its stacking up. He needs help. He does. Manafort is coming on board. You see corey and manafort. You see more on board. President bush saying were not endorsing donald trump. Were sitting out the campaign. George Herbert Walker bush supported every nominee, his sitting out is a symbol for prominent republicans, dont be for trump. Thats a problem for him. Its not insurmountable but its a problem. I do think, willie, on the other side there are a lot of republicans that did come out, including Mitch Mcconnell, john mccain, going down the list saying, hey, were going to support presumptive nominee, Mitch Mcconnell, richard bird,
mike huckabee, other republicans. They will all get in line. Most will get in line. Of course ben sass and others will never do that. Again, he i guess thats the message of the day. If hes going to turn this battleship around, hes got to turn it around fast and hes got to start turning it around now. Yeah. The question is how he does that. Given all the things he said over the last year, how do you undo the things you said about the wall, mexicans, muslims, all those things. On the other side, Hillary Clinton has to figure out with the attacks coming her way. Does she want to be jeb bush and fly high above him or be marco rubio and fly high with him. Shell have to find her sweetspot. A lot of people dont like a career politician when a lot of the country doesnt want that. He has to make it as much about
her as him. He has a big opening. Her disapproval in the mid50s. I know his is in the 60s. See if he can bring his down. Its not brain surgery. If he wants to turn the ship around, he can. Its a made up story. Can he do this . He can do it. Whats a made up story. I think its a made up controversy, can he turn it around, after everything that happened in the primary. Have you seen what the clintons have done . Have you seen what all politicians have done . They can turn it around any time they want, and they do. People are getting kind of tired of people being dishonest about it. I think its going to be really hard for him to turn it around, specifically with hispanics. I think even with women he may be able to turn that around a bit. I think the biggest challenge right now is turning it around with hispanic voters. I have to say, along with what willie is saying, thats an area where im just going to wait and
see how he does that. If he doesnt, he loses. Show that one web video, wait until you see what democrats, Clinton Campaign and allies do with hispanic language advertising against trump. Its going to be extraordinary. Still ahead on morning joe, republican Governor Rick Snyder of michigan joins us for an exclusive interview on tthe s of president obamas blister comments.
