Sarah marie, mia malik ka henderson, washington correspondent for new yorker magazine, and time magazine reporter zeke miller. hillary clinton s willingness to attack donald trump, we saw that, does she now see in a general election donald trump as her real competition? no, i mean, i think democrats are sort of hoping and praying that they get donald trump. but i don t think she really thinks that s going to happen. she is having fun, i think, attacking donald trump in those speeches. she called him the flamboyant front-runner. obviously able to make the hair jokes about donald trump in a way she s not able to make them about marco rubio, i guess. so that helps her, i think, to sort of get into the conversation and she s obviously clearly having fun with it. i think the ultimate takeaway is that sentence where she says, it used to be the party of lincoln and now it s the party of trump. they basically want to tar the entire republican brand, which is trying to rebrand itself, ....

He, in your analysis, what was he planning to do? i m not sure, wolf. even analyzing this. because he s still using his cell phone, which he d have to know that can be tracked by the authorities. even when you re not making a call, you re in communication with a cell phone tower. so they can tell pretty closely on the map where he s at, that he was headed eastbound on interstate 66 towards washington. even if he went to a specific location, the cell phone would give up that location to the authority. he did manage to get, what, about 200 miles away from the scene of the crime, right? well, he did. he had the other car. but he had to know that this is not going to last. he s not going to stay on the loose for very long. but they re going to be able to track him down. jeffrey, we also learned today that based on his writings, evidence taken from his apartment, he identified with individuals who had committed mass murder, including at virginia tech university, 32 people were kille ....

With the trump brand. what s your analysis? i think you re exactly right about this. the democrats believe that donald trump is toxic for the republican party and i think you talk to a lot of republicans in washington, they believe that. he is setting back all of the strategic goals of the republican party in this election, which was to reach out to new constituencies, to reach out to younger voters, women, nonwhite voters. he s not doing that. his strategy is very different than what most republican strategists argued at the beginning of this campaign. i think hillary clinton looks at polls and general election matchups where trump gets clbered by her. i think it s great strategy for her to define the republican party with trumpism. most republicans acally that s a big problem. i want to get back to your reporting on donald trump s evolution, shall we say, on going out there and raising money for his campaign. you reported he was going to spend his own money ul are up to $1 bill ....

Massachusetts. at the $1.9 million estate of an auto dealership cut benefit. while the host is calling ate fund-raiser, the candidate dismissing it as no such thing. i ve done meet and greets. reporter: down playing incoming donations we have a small group where people, i guess it s over here, where people can send in one woman sent in seven dollars and 30-odd cents, wrote a beautiful letter. people are sending in $10, $20. i like that kind. it s not a lot of money ultimately. reporter: even though donald trump s campaign is insisting the event is not a fund-raiser, the big sign outside calling for cash or checks upon entry is sending a different message. big checks payable to donald j. trump f president or get some cash ready for entry. thanks very much for that. don t go too far away. hillary clinton is stepping up her attacks on donald trump and his hair as the democratic national committee is meeting in minneapolis. a lot of attention is on someone who s not there. we r ....
