MSNBCW The Last Word With Lawrence ODonnell May 6, 2016

Word with lawrence odonnell. Rachel, before you g send nick over here with that drum. We could use that. Yes. It is perfect mode for 10 00. I will remove his sunglasses and wheel him over there. With or without the sunglasses, any way you want to do it. Donald trump never was a self financing candidate. He has taken millions in contributions from the beginning. Now, it looks like he will do what some of us predicted he might do. Raise enough money to pay himself back for the money he loaned the campaign, and become, like all other candidates, completely dependent on other peoples money. What he says corrupts all the other candidates. And the trump versus cruz and kasich is over now, it is donald trump versus paul ryan. Which republican or democrat will choose to be Donald Trumps losing running mate . I vote to support our nominee. I am not there right now. I am out. I am the only one left. He is calling for an independent candidate to run for president. Many wants to see a standard bear that bears our standards. All of the living republican nominees, not a single one today is for donald trump. If it is donald trump at the top 10, this may be the race of my life. Hispanics, i think i will do well with the hispanic vote. He should understand be commanderinchief. I had a major event in russia the Miss Universe contest. Donald trump is saying, it is mine now. Look, it really is mine, look. He needs to do more to unify this party. I will never vote for a guy to ban someone because of a god they worship. We got work to do. This is the last word on campaign 2016. Whenever republican politician says something for or against donald trump t always check how donald trump did in the president ial primary in that politicians state or district. Donald trump got wiped out in wisconsin, 18 points behind ted cruz. We dont know what paul ryan would be saying today, if donald trump came in 18 points ahead in paul ryans Congressional District here is what paul ryan said today. I hope to support his candidacy, but i am not there right now it i think he has to do more, bring all wings of the Republican Party together go forward and appeal to all americans, in every walk of life. I think what a lot of republicans want to see is that we have a standard bearer that bears our standards. All the wings of the Republican Party. It is time to channelling that anger into solutions, it is time to set aside bulling and belittlement and appeal to higher aspirations. If donald trump was serious about winning the presidency, he would have followed the advice that the experienced members of his staff gave him today. I agree with speaker ryan, it is time to ignite the party, and add about how confident he is that republicans will be able to unight. Instead, Donald Trumps response came from the gut. The kind of response that his amateur Campaign Staff never had the wisdom to try to prevent him from saying, in a written statement, donald trump said, i am not ready to support speaker ryans agenda perhaps in the future we can Work Together and come to an agreement for what is best for the american people. They have been treated so badly for so long, it is about time for politicians to put them first. So, he picks a fight with the speaker of the house. If donald trump, the elected president , speaker ryan will control is every move. He no doubt believes that president s are all powerful. Speakers of the house r whenever they choose to be, more powerful than the president on all matters of domestic government all legislation. Donald trump said he wants a big tax cut. Paul ryan wants a big tax cut too, the one he will get is the one that paul ryan decides to give him. It will be written by paul written, every detail in it will come from what paul ryans tax cut is, not the donald trump tax cut. Every other piece of legislation donald trump might want to pass, would have to be part of paul ryans agenda or go no where, wont get a hearing in the house. Donald trump, lashed out today at the man who would have more power over him than anyone else in washington, if donald trump became president. Donald trump treated paul ryan like another candidate in the president ial primary. Someone he could leave behind in the state. That is how political campaigning works that is not the way of politics of governing works of the paul ryans state voted against don ambassador trump. Paul ryan himself, no doubt, voted against him in the wisconsin primary. Paul ryans associates are standing against donald trump tonight. Mitt roamy, who picked paul ryan as his running mate, he will not attend the convention. George bush, and georbob doil s he might attend for a day. And will he not commit to voting for donald trump in november. So, all living former republican nominees, no support for donald trump. For the Presumptive Republican nominee. In a new released recording john mccain said this to his supporters. Former chief strategist for the campaign. And political analyst and a columnist for the daily beast. You know that paul, and the experienced guys in the campaign looked at the ryan statement and said, you just join him on the unity thing, leave it at that. The nuts in the tramp campaign, when frump said, i want to say, i dont care about him. Those are the guys who cheer him on with this stuff. You talk about the implications if he other than to become president. The implications will set in sooner than that. If ryan and trump cant make peace, what would be republican platform be . They would have a huge platform fight. There is a time now and then for what you may call a real republican. Most of them are july, 900,000 sth st signatures, ben sass, a republican senator from nebraska, well respected. He is ready, in 1948 t leave the Democratic Party with an independent. Ben is saying he wants somebody else. I think they will end up with ben sass, there is a chance you will see him run as a real republican, quote, independent candidacy. This is, i am wrong to say that a professional republican president ial operative like Stuart Stevens would have looked at that Statement Today and said to his candidate, take the parts we can agree w talk about that Say Something nice, yes, he is right about party unity and rosy and leave it at that . Sure, you dont want to get in a fight with paul ryan. Earlier tweeted out a photo of him having a taco bowl at Cinco De Mayo talking about how hispanics love him. It is embarrassing, and sort of, just crazy. Listen. You know, republicans have nobody to blame but themselves. You know, it is kind of like, your pal who meets a stripper in rehab, and brings her home. Gets engaged, brings her home to meet mom. It doesnt go well. You were surprised . This is donald trump, this is what it will be like. I hope ben does run. I could spin out a scenario, thrown into the house, and the republicans perfer ben sass. Someone that people can vote for who cant vote for donald trump or Hillary Clinton in good conscious, and feel proud to vote for someone like him. I invite everybody to follow ben on twitter and facebook. It is it extraordinary, what he is doing, he is saying that he would vote for someone and support someone who idelogically was different for him, someone who had good common sense, and could someone you could feel honorable about in the country. Veteran of the bush president ial campaign, basically burned her republican card, said she is joining the libertarian party, good news for it libertarian party, they may get more than 1 of the vote this time. Abraham lincoln told a joke, about the man in the lemonade, he said absolutely not. But if some liquor got in the lemonade unbeknownst to me, it wouldnt do any harm. If Hillary Clinton got elected unbeknownst to me democrats, in 1972, they didnt just lose the election, to richard nixon. They loeft control of the party. They found that new deal party became the new politics party. All of the union guys, all the cold war liberals found themselves banished from the party of truman and roosevelt. That is one of the things that traditionals are facing in the donald trump world. That is almost, less about trump than it is about each individual republican, and his or her conscious. If you believe that donald trump is a con man, as i do. You cant vote as marco rubio does. You cant both believe that, and support him for president and be a patriotic american. It is not patriotic to put a con man in charge of our constitution. People have to decide whether party asks too much. It is fascinating watching the republicans go through what is essentially a moral exercise, to see if they put their Country First or party first. Take another step. If you believe that anything that any one of the republicans running against donald trump said about him, including what Chris Christie said about him in new hampshire, you cant vote for donald trump for president. I hate when you put it that way. I am not going to do it donald trump thing and attack others that disagree with me. It is a personal choice. I know what i am going to do. I am not going to say i am right. I am not going to say i know what feels right to me. I know what i can live with and feel good about. It is not to say that is the right choice. What is that choice . You will get a ballot with i hope Mary Madeline is a libertarian, i will vote for her. Ben sass, a candidate like that that you can be proud of. That would be better for candidates, it, if donald trump is the nominee which appears to be, the white house is really lost, ru talking about saving the set. I think having a candidate like ben sass as a third party, give people to come out and vote, philadelphia or cincinnati, who would not in a millionaire years be seen driving to the polls to vote for donald trump. I have no way to put a number on it. The future of the party, that david is talking about, and i think it is an important point. I dont think sitting around thanksgiving dinner, there will know a lot of trump republicans. I think there will be people who voted for trump. I dont think in any way people will be carrying a torch for donald trump. The libertarian Nomination Convention is memorial day weekend, the race starts then. Thank you all for tonight. And ben carson said he wont be a Vice President ial candidate for donald trump. He has taken himself out of consideration. Donald trump will be Getting National Intelligence Briefings when he gets the republican nomination. That has intelligence officials something close to terrified. Expert, Richard Clark will join us.

The most important place to be in any campaign, decisions about what states the candidates will focus on, how to answer various attacks, how to watch attacks against other candidates, the situation they are facing now on the republican side is who should be, one of the issues they are facing, a lot of interest going into that. Ben carson, said he doesnt want the position of Vice President. In the trump administration. Ben carson said i am not interested in doing that for a number of reasons. I dont want to be a distraction, how crazy the media was about me. It is too important a time in our life. Ben carson said that democrats may be among those considered for a running mate, donald trump denied he would consider a domcrat. He said, i am sure ben is speaking from the standpoint that republicans have not made it easy on me. I am a republican, and 100 pick an outstanding republican to run with me as Vice President. The latest Electoral College from the cook projects, 304 votes for the nominee. And 190 for the republican nom nee, donald trump, with 44 electoral votes remaining too close to call at this point. In no scenario there, could donald trump win the necessary 2 sechblt electoral votes to become the president of the you said. With 187 days left for the campain, joining us tonight, steve, a veteran of three campaigns, howard deans 2004 campaign, and killian conway, a veteran of Newt Gingrichs 2012 campaign. You were running part of the Ted Cruz Super pack, you could never be in the war room, you cannot cooperate like that. The trump war room, 180 days, what did they do today . What did it Trump Campaign do today to attract voters they dont already v. Several things i would say. He got another news cycle from Hillary Clinton. He is out in west virginia, a state that bill clinton carried that Hillary Clinton has not. When you say that he already has that. You hear gloom and doom. It is over. Throw my hands up in the air. There are Competitive Senate races as well. He did there, he did what donald trump usually does. He took his opponents words and used them against them three weeks later. He said, i will put the coal industry out of business, he said he will put them back to work. Short list for Vice President. Prominent republicans coming out against donald trump, that they wont vote for him. You never heard them say, i will never serve as his Vice President. All people at the top of the list. Maybe. Chris christie is open for vp, ne newt i believe chris christ ow has an ad out for that. And marshall blackburn, she is a conservative female from tennessee, who would be a great re i dont believe it will be a blowout. I think you put nonresilient nonnimble Hillary Clinton against wow factor donald trump, we dont know what it will produce. A big switch for donald trump, doing it publicly now. He is getting someone to run his fundraising, formerly with goldmansacks. The claim to self financing will disappear. This has been a central pillar of trump integrity. What do it clinton war room do with that . They see that move, financing the campaign with wall street money just like everybody else. I mean, what Clinton Campaign will be doing and thinking about today is you know, trying to continue to drive a wedge between main stream republicans like paul ryan and others, who are deeply conflicted about Donald Trumps candidacy, and the take over of the business man from wall street and the Republican Party. Theyll cement will incident that you see. There is not there donald trump was in west virginia, a state he shouldnt have to visit in order to carry. He is running backward. I think that Clinton Campaign right now, understands that in their war room, in this war room, i would be currentlying them to continue to drive the Division Within the party. To continue to highlight the statements of people like paul ryan, and continue to promote the candidacy of the man where i am from. I dont need to vote for him. I have a candidate i think will being a great president. Nominee this one i am not giving you advice, i am analyzing, if donald trump is analyzing in west virginia. The rally was scheduled. They have a primary. He showed up to tell the voters thank you. Okay. He needs to be going to the purple states, you know this as well as anybody. He needs to be in ohio, florida. He has plenlty of time to do that. Decide, well, nis numbers are so bad. Just like hillary, he is not yet the nominee. What does he need to do to attract new voters. Hillary clinton in los angeles saying, donald trump is doubling down on his attacks and talking about deporting 11 million people, which he said again last night on nbc news, he would deport 11 million people. The Law Enforcement resources dont exist to do it. It is impossible. He locked himself on to an impossible idea that alienates massive numbers of voters. What he will do to attract voters, in the primaries and caucuses, reach in to the workers, many of them voted for democrats before. You see the people turning over in the voter roles in pennsylvania, where thousands renounced their
