Theyre trying to figure out if they can raise the money and get on state ballots. First and foremost, they need a candidate, and so far no one has agreed. Its a suicide mission. Reporter Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus issued this warning to fellow republicans working behind the scenes to draft an independent candidate as an alternative to donald trump theyre not only changing and throwing out eight years of the white house, but youre also throwing out potentially generations in the supreme court. Reporter an underground movement led by conservative figures eric crystal, has intensified the last few weeks. I think this is such an exceptional year, it would be worth trying.

Good morning. Good morning. Tell us what you think of the Washington Post story and the New York Times story in terms of damage to donald trump. Well, you know, first on the idea of an independent or thirdwater run, i think thats still a thirdparty run, i think thats still a longshot idea. Will happen or not happen the next couple of weeks, and then it will go away for donald trump. I checked this morning. At this point in 1992 when ross perot mounted a serious independent thirdparty run, he was already in the ballot in four states and was close in 20 more. This is late in havent gotten a lot easier since 1992. I think this either happens quickly or not at all. Then in terms of donald trump, it goes away as an issue entirely. The other stories about women and those things, look, this is going to be kind of a regular feature for the next five or six months. I think we better get buckled up and ready. Do you think it causes any damage to him, back to charlies question . You know, i think theres something to what Reince Priebus said, that basically this is a different kind of candidate. I think the potential for damage is definitely there. Theres also the potential that the kinds of things that used to be disabling for other candidates, things that would have been disqualifying in terms of controversies or, you know, statements that create a furor, i think those things are not disabling for donald trump because he is a different kind of candidate. Well see long run, and this is the issue, is there corrosive effect from these kinds of stories. As we reported, mitt romney is playing a key role in trying to recruit an independent candidate. Doesnt that suggest thae way to stop donald trump . I think thats definitely true. Is he itching to get involved himself as the guy who stops donald trump or does he want to work behind the scenes . I think its more the later. One of the interesting plays this group could make would be to not try this all on their own but to take over the ballot line thats available from third parties out there. Theyre obscure, the libertarian or constitution parties. Their already on the ballot in a lot of states. If they could get a thirdparty candidate on those lines, theyd have ready ballot access. That might be a game changer. I think thats a long shot because those parties dont want to turn themselves over to an outside group. Dont they have to find somebody with a real name . If late in the game if they find somebody with a name that will be there to unite with whatever the partys name is . Yeah. I think so. Youve got to have a name i. D. Because you dont have a lot of time too build that up, and youve got to have ready money. Ross perot brought his own checkbook to the table. Not clear who would do thahi in your paper this morning, you say donald trump doesnt have enough ready money. Where does this leave his campaign . Look, hes going to have to raise money. He said that himself. Our story estimated his annual income at 160 million. He says his net worth is 10 billion. He would have to Sell Properties or take on debt to finance a campaign. Hes moved past that and said im going raise money. Well see how much he can raise. I think the idea of a selffinancing general Election Campaign has passed. Good to see you. Thank you very much. Thanks. In our next hour, well talk with the two New York Times reporters who wrote about Donald Trumps treatment of women. Michael barbaro and megan twohey. Democrats will hold primaries tomorrow in oregon and kentucky. Bernie sanders has won the last two contested primaries and is expected to win at least one more tomorrow. Hillary clinton is now trying to stop this momentum in kentucky. Nancy cordes is in lexington where she will hold a rally tonight. Nancy, good reporter good morning. Hillary clinton made a big lastminute investment here in kentucky, time and money, hoping to pull off a win in at least one of the two states voting tomorrow. She was at a pair of churches yesterday courting the africanamerican vote, held a pair of rallies, shes holding three more rallies today. Now, the reality is that her delegate lead is so large that she could afford to lose all of the primaries from here on out through the primary season. Her campaign is worried that that would send her sort of limping into the Democratic Convention in germany and leave her a in july and leave her a weaker candidate. With upcoming state, the Clinton Campaign knows theyve got tough states ahead. In nevada, a group of sanders supporters over the weekend showed that unity is still going to be a challenge for this party. They disrupted the states Party Convention because they felt that the rules for allotting delegates were unfair. The Clinton Campaign isnt wildly successful confident, rather, that she will be successful here in kentucky tomorrow, even though she won here by 35 points eight years ago. Thanks. Federal officials this morning investigating what caused a deadly bus crash in texas. At least eight people were killed and 44 hurt saturday when a charter bus rolled over. The company was cited for several maintenance violations last year. We have more from laredo where many survivors are recovering. Omar, good morning. Reporter good morning. The bus driver is one of the survivors recovering here at Doctors Hospital in laredo. Now, federal investigators want to talk to him to try to figure out what happened. 51 passengers were on board the charter bus as it was traveling along a rural texas highway and rolled over. Texas investigators say several people were ejected. Seven died at the scene and one at the hospital. It is unknown if wet weather at the time of the crash co we will look at the highway, the vehicle, the driver, and company operations. Reporter san juan, texas, based oga charters has been cited for multiple vehicle maintenance violations in the past. According to the federal motor carrier safety administration, one of the companys two buses was pulled from the road twice last year because of defective brakes. It is unclear if that bus was the same one involved in saturdays crash. Tells me she turned around and saw her best friend she thought she died. Reporter many of the passengers were south Texas School District employees, including 52yearold Frances Guerrero who died. Juan luna worked with guerrero. Thats when it hurts the most. When its someone that you know. Someone that you grew up with. Reporter on saturday morning, the bus left brownsville, texas, for a casino about 340 miles away in eagle pass destination. Investigators say no other vehicles were involved. Its unfortunate. When something hits home like this, it hurts. It makes you think about how precious life is. Reporter oga charters hasnt responded to our request for a comment. The ntsb plans to file a preliminary report on the crash in about two weeks, but the final report could take a year or longer. Gayle . Thank you. Private celebration honored prince for his religious faith. Hundreds of people yesterday packed into a jehovahs witness kingdom hall near minneapolis. The latest tribute comes amid uncertainty about the icons estate nearly a month after his death. Jamie yuccas shows how little is known about princes own wishes. Reporter good morning. Princes sister, tyka nelson, used facebook to say she would not be attending sunday avenues service. Theres been familysanctioned funeral. Many see his lack of a will as leading confusion about how to carry out his wishes. Reporter prince was a practicing jehovahs witness. As many as 500 people including frequent collaborator sheila e. And comedian sinbad said goodbye during a private service. Numerous remembrances have been held since princes death 3. 5 weeks ago.

In a Facebook Post friday, princes sister wrote, i, nor my brothers remains, will be present at any memorial or Funeral Services until the familys funeral. That service is not scheduled until sometime in august. Its star reporter ellen light is a music journalist who wrote a biography on prince. I think all the Memorial Service indicate the degree of ongoing confusion and chaos around this situation. Reporter the same lack of focus seems to extend to princes estate. You know, there isnt a spouse, there isnt a child. You know, there isnt one person who can stand up and say, this is what he would have wanted. Reporter rumors have been swirling of infighting between princes full sister, tyka nelson, and their five half siblings, over the estate. Nelson denied any discord saying, no one in my family has fought about anything, she says, and least of all me.
