tv With All Due Respect Bloomberg April 24, 2016 11:00am-12:01pm EDT
11:00 am
john: welcome to the best of "with all due respect" weekend show. donald trump and hillary clinton won the new york primary. bernie sanders went to rome and andrew jackson lost his spot on the $20 bill to harriet tubman. mark: donald trump took an interesting position on a transgender issue and got us thinking whether he is taking positions other principle or for politics. >> the presidential contest speeds on. a democratic fund-raising haul. first, a trump town hall. on the same day that sarah palin came out against espn's firing
11:01 am
of curt schilling over a facebook post about transgender bathroom laws. trump himself was asked to that issue on "today." he called a push for such laws discriminatory and said he believes the transgender individual should be able to use whichever bathroom they choose. mr. trump: there have been very few complaints the way it is cap people go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate. there has been so little trouble. and the problem with what happened in north carolina is the strife and the economic, the economic punishment they are taking. >> do you have any transgender people working in your organization? mr. trump: i don't know. >> if caitlyn jenner were to walk into trump tower and wanted to use the bathroom, you would be fine with her using any bath and she chooses? mr. trump: that is correct.
11:02 am
mark: those comments made it today town hall. drew an immediate reaction from a right-winger of talk radio. senator cruz: donald agreed and attacking the state of north carolina for passing her bathroom ordinates. let me ask you, have we gone stark raving nuts? are there any parent of daughters here? i'm the father of two little girls. here is basic common sense. grown adult men, strangers, should not be all alone in the bathroom with little girls. >> no problem with lg bt bathrooms. if you think you are woman at 2:00 this afternoon, want to use the ladies in, have at it. if you are a woman, go in, no problem. we will see if there is any blowback on that. mark: trump has taken a position that could hurt him in his nomination fight and helpful in the general election.
11:03 am
is trump taking this position out of principle or the sense of the politics of it? john: well, i think the answer is as principal. of course, is suggest something not flattering about trump, which, in my judgment, trump is probably a social liberal. his position on abortion is the real position, what he really things about abortion. today he talks about he is for the three exceptions. i think on this issue he is like most new yorkers. he is basically a social liberal. within his heart, he knows it helps them politically in the general election. these two other gentlemen, they are incredibly crude and how they talk about this issue and have no respect for people who are transgender but trump is begin from his heart. mark: it clearly has potential political benefit. if trump can take the sting out of social issues in a general election, issues of tolerance that a lot of young voters care about, if he is the nominee about economics and about competence, his chances of
11:04 am
winning are a lot greater. i think it is leading with his heart, but helps them politically and he knows it. john: i'm sure he knows it. one of the bigger overarching questions is when trump makes the pivot to the general election as all nominees do, how much, how many positions, whether on the mexican border wall or any other issues that he has stated in very base pleasing ways, throwing red meat to the base, how is he going to walk back? if he walks them back to where he probably may actually be, if you look at his history on these issues, will he get called on that for hypocrisy or will this simply benefit him and the way -- ? mark: even the best political minds disagree over the biggest question -- can donald trump collect the 1237 delegates he needs before the july convention to earn the majority? listen to two of the political guys we respect most.
11:05 am
haley barbour and republican strategist steve schmitt. >> if you generously apportion a couple of western state wins to ted cruz. you look at northeastern states coming. look ahead to california, 170 plus delegates, winner-take-all by congressional district. 20 point lead. very difficult for me to see any scenario where he does not clear 1237. i think the worst he does is he clears it by 60, 70 delegates. he will be right up around 1300 when we wake up on june 8. mark: you are a pretty good vote counter. is donald trump on track to get the majority of delegates? >> he has to get 58% of the remainder. he has been getting in the 40's. his percentage of the vote in new york is the first time he has gotten over 50%. if that repeats itself, it makes
11:06 am
it easier, but it is not a given that he is going to be able to get 1237 through, by the time of the june 7 primaries. mark: do you think it is possible and likely but not definite, is that accurate? >> i think it is more like, it is the most likely outcome. i think it is less than 50%. john: haley barbour pegs it as less than 50%. mark: the question, will he or won't he? one what easy way is to break the contest down this way. there are 15 primaries break them up into groups of 5, 3 of them. first they are the five northeast states that both this coming tuesday. then there is the five, including california. and wind down the race on june 7.
11:07 am
a lot of focus on those two days with five contest each. but let's not talk about a different state contest in may. on that month, you have got five additional contests, totaling 199 delegates spread across the month. contest in indiana, nebraska, west virginia, and then to on the west coast, oregon and washington. after those states vote with 199 delegates, that is more than the northeast states voting this coming tuesday. we are going to have a much clearer picture of whether trump actually can get the delegates it is going to take to gain a majority before the party heads to cleveland. part of the problem, handicapping these five states, is there is almost no polling in any of the five. given how the three candidates stack up in those may contests, indiana, nebraska, west virginia, oregon, washington, what do you think the controversy just about who is more right, haley barbour who says trump has got less than a 50% chance or steve schmitt who says sure thing? john: we did this math exercise in a different way a few days
11:08 am
before steve and haley had their views. i continue to think haley barbour is more right than steve schmitt. i think the numbers are daunting. you look at these primaries in the middle of the month, in may. indiana is an open primary. west virginia is an open primary. the open primaries are good for donald trump. those are states he would probably do well in. but the basket, solar to a lot of states in the plains that ted cruz has done well in. oregon and washington, both states were john kasich should be competitive. it seems to me that if you think about what trump needs to do, the percentage he news to get of delegates, this could not be, may not be a great month for him. the only clear winner of that group is west virginia. all four of the other five could be ones were he finishes second. mark: could be but i will say this. steve schmitt will be right if -- the other new folks and the additional spending are brought to bear.
11:09 am
five contests over the course of the month. they are spread out. you have two of them on may 10 and the others are on their own day. it gives them a chance to go in the states and try to leverage trump's advantages -- big spending, big rallies. i think it is an open question how good these five contest will be for trump, but i think if steve schmitt is right and these new guys are able to up trump's game, i think trump could win all five of them. nebraska is the toughest. i think it is possible trump could win four of the five. john: he could, conceivably, given the outcome so soon after the contest on tuesday, he could be on a little bit of a roll and that could have -- get favorable media coverage if he wins all five next week or four out of five, that is possible. he could continue to build through. the overall, it just, again, the absence of polling they said hard to figure out. i will say the real question to
11:10 am
me is, how hard is june? there is no place where he can come off the gas. he has to do well in may. how will this he have to do in june? you have got winner take all states in june and montana and south dakota and those states are good for cruz. mark: in indiana, oregon and washington, case it could be a player. again, five states spread out over the monster year of to ask yourself what if we seen that. we saw in wisconsin, state by itself. trump did not do well there. but there were a lot of factors working against him. given time, given his ability to campaign and spending money and his new team's ability to work the thing, i just think trump's advantages in a three-way race with these two guys, i think schmid is overstating the case. i think haley barbour is understating it. john: you are being mr. goldilocks. mark: i think if trump performs, i think everybody agrees he is going to perform very well next tuesday. these five in may are key.
11:11 am
if he lives up to 80% of his potential in these five states, i think he will be on the doorstep of winning. and will not need to absolutely kill on those five contest in june. john: i think one of the questions you have to ask -- you think about those states in oregon and washington. john kasich has no money. donald trump has a lot of money. what happens in the pacific northwest, what is your view about that? mark: they are close contest, that makes it tougher for trump. those states have got conservative parts and more moderate parts. i still believe that there is no reason to think they are not decent trump states they are states that are going to be open to different aspects of his message. they are states that tend to care more about free trade, because they are so connected to the pacific. maybe that, less good for trump
11:12 am
11:15 am
mark: joining us now is republican strategist, former senior adviser of john mccain, and msnbc analyst steve schmitt. happy 4/20. john: important day for both of us. let me ask this question. this morning on morning joe you were insistent, emphatic, no question in your mind donald trump is going to get to 1237 by the end of them nominating contest. june 8, we wake up, donald trump will be the nominee. what gives you that level of confidence that you are for sure it is going to happen? steve: i think if you generously
11:16 am
apportion a couple of western state wins to ted cruz. look at the northeastern states, you look ahead to california, 170 plus delegates, winner take all by congressional district. 20 point lead. very difficult for me to see any scenario where he does not clear 1237. i think the worst he does is he clears it by 60, 70 delegates, right up around 1300 when we wake up on june 8. mark: if you took over the cruz campaign tomorrow, what would you do? steve: they have been trying to narrow this to a two-person race and i think there was one point where the great nature for donald trump was that he would be in a position having to fight in a two-way race, to his ideological right. but i think that moment is passed. i think the conservative litmus test is not an ideological one. it is a strength test. and donald trump has trumped ted cruz on that test. ted cruz when he has tried for so long make this a two-person race comes in third place in new york behind john kasich, someone
11:17 am
he called for to get out of the race because he simply a hindrance. mark: i will give your two-person race, buddy. i finished second. steve: i think ted cruz, it was a really bad night for him last night. and so, when you look at cruz coming into these northeastern states, he is going to lose more momentum next week. have a really tough time in this part of the country. john: is mitt romney right, the fact that this is a three-person race? there has been a split in a anti-trump world? steve: we talk about the never trump movement. for a practical effect, it does not seem to be very potent to say the least. i understand there is hashtags and never trump, but there is not an organized effort with any effectiveness aimed at stopping him.
11:18 am
the argument makes no sense. people say, never trump. well, will you support trump as the republican nominee? i'm going to support the nominee. both cannot be true. and it undermines the argument that no one is saying in public what people say privately. about donald trump and the republican leadership i think that speaks to why that movement is so weak. they say in private he is unfit to be president. he is unfit psychologically, temperamentally, he is unfit ideologically but no one is making that argument publicly. mark: you were reluctant to say what would you do to take over the cruz campaign. if i gave you $100 million and say, stop trump, what would you spend it on? steve: you would try to stop him on temperament issues. you would go back and revisit -- the most powerful political ad in america history was the daisy
11:19 am
ad in 1954 against lbj running against goldwater, using images of the north korean leader, mushroom clouds, the instability of the world and -- trump's late night tweeting. you would make a temperament and character attack. you'd remind people that the president of the united states is the most powerful person in the world, sits atop the national command authority as commander in chief of the most potent military in the world and that possesses the weapons to extinguish life on the planet as we know it. john: i'm going to ask your question about just today. we woke up this morning, donald trump got a lot of praise from a lot of people for his speech last night. different donald trump. and one of the things -- everyone sees it as a stupid thing but a small thing -- he did not say lying ted cruz. now calling him lying ted cruz by the middle of the afternoon. is that a sign that the new
11:20 am
discipline is not effective as we thought it was? what do we make of that? steve: i think there is a distinction between the speech you make where a lot of the country is watching in prime time. you've just won an election. it is not a rally setting. you are talking about the next stage of the campaign. you are articulating a vision why you should be the nominee. why you want to be president of the united states, where you are going to. he started transition into the general election messaging. indiana is a contest he is going to have to compete in. he's going at ted cruz hard. in the light of the day, the day after in the state as we get ready for the next contest, the difference in tone on an election night when we are weeks away from their states -- and everything else around the podium is significant. john: wouldn't it worry if you're one of the forces trying to impose a presidential demeanor on trump? would you not be, my god, he's at it again. steve: i think the issue is not the use of lying ted.
11:21 am
the issue is comportment. can he comport himself the right way at the right times? can he show the appropriate dignity required of the american head of state? mark: less than 30 seconds, one of your older bosses dick cheney said that donald trump should not be our nominee. will that hurt trump's chances? steve: at one moment in time it would have hurt trump's chances. i think dick cheney is a -- inside the republican party. it is late in the day for anyone to make that argument. mitt romney is a person inside the republican party that has a lot of affection, has a lot of respect. he went out, he gave a speech. the effect of that speech was not particularly injurious to donald trump's chances. john: steve schmitt, thanks again for stopping by.
11:25 am
>> a lot of speculation in the press -- the staff changes being made in the campaign. what is your take on those? >> i think it is a natural evolution. you have to transition to the general. that transition is going to be great. mark: are the new people being brought in to take over? >> they are brought in to do specific tasks. i think it is going to be very important to the campaign and the evolution of the campaign. mark: who's running the campaign? >> my father. my father is always running it.
11:26 am
mark: that was donald trump jr., talking over some beeping car horns -- talking earlier about reports of a campaign shakeup and tension in trump land. here to talk more, kim alfano and howard wolfson. and former communications director for hillary clinton's 2008 campaign -- lady, gentleman, thank you for being here. kim, we have not had you on in a while. what is your view? >> last time i had terrible predictions. john: what is your view of donald j trump, billionaire politician? >> i will get roundly abused on twitter and on the internet but i have to say he is masterful. he has done, i think, the last cycle we got into this it was politics of the news cycle. now i think it is politics of the tweet. and no one does it better than him.
11:27 am
he can say something outrageous one day and look you in the eyes and say, i never said that. or say something more salacious and get you moved off it. john: are you impressed by donald trump as a new york politician? >> very much so. i think both of the candidates who will win today are going to win because they are real new yorkers. whatever you think of them. and because they have real familiarity with the news cycle and the press corps here. they both look like they are very much in their element these past couple weeks. mark: you've seen campaigns in disarray up close. how does the trump campaign seem to be handling the personnel changes from afar? howard: so, every campaign at some stage does go through some additions. and the question is whether they are real additions or whether they are additions by subtraction. i think that remains to be seen.
11:28 am
if the campaign manager can coexist with the new people they have brought on, maybe they can create a better environment for chance of success. but it also has the possibility of being a huge flame out. mark: how would you appraise ted cruz's chances? kim: i would say 50-50. like i said, uncharted territory. it is about the mastery of the process. ted cruz is doing a brilliant job of talking to delegates and going out in the traditional ground game, on steroids. but i don't underestimate trump's ability to say, you changed full forty or something to hijack it back. i don't underestimate from ability to say, you changed a whole 40 or something to hijack it back? -- hijacked it back. john: what do you think is the biggest, two part question, what do you think is the biggest mistake sanders made in the last two weeks? and what would you do next? howard: i think the biggest mistake he made was not setting expectations a little lower. i just did not think he was ever going to win new york.
11:29 am
i think she was very much on her home turf. she is very comfortable in this environment. and he was not going to win. i'm not sure i would've had him as aggressively contest the contest as they did. i might've suggested harder that he was not likely to win because this is her home state. and i think people would have bought that. but it seems as if he sort of went all in, other than the trip to rome. it will be seen as something of a loss. john: what next? howard: i think at some point they are going to have to start reassuring democrats that he is not going to continue to bash hillary clinton on a daily basis. at some point you have to worry about unifying the party and you need to take your foot off the gas a little bit. you can compete to the end, raise all kinds of money but if you're going to be calling her criminal, that she has violated campaign-finance laws, that is not helpful.
11:30 am
i think you will begin to see a lot of people in the party say, you can contest this fiercely on ideas, but cool it with the ethics and personal attacks. mark: how do you feel about the effectiveness of trump attacking the republican national committee? kim: i think he has done a great job because simultaneously he is doing the same thing everyone else is doing -- he got his guys out there. if you do not think they are doing the same type of operations -- mark: what does he get out of messaging that way? kim: he gets to take it either way it comes. he gets to be an charge of what -- be in charge of what happens to matter what happens. he gets to 1237 he gets to take, unify the party. he doesn't, and they switch something or there is a second ballot scuffle or third ballot, he gets to say it was rate, it -- it was rigged it is crazy. , and he gets to explode and try to win over by pressure his people pressuring them. mark: what is your most optimist -- optimistic scenario of the
11:31 am
party coming out of cleveland united and strong with a strong nominee? kim: john kasich takes the v.p. would -- mark: would the party be united if that happens? kim: understand, this is all for geeks like us. as outrageous as it has been by , the end of august, and when the actual campaign starts, it is all a memory. nobody will have gone through this delegate mess like you guys did. nobody will even remember all of this, in my opinion. yeah, the party unites because they want to win. john: kim, howard thank you. mark: we will talk to tad devine when we come back. ♪
11:35 am
may be feeling a little sunburned from yesterday's massive bernie sanders rally in prospect park, brooklyn. tad, i want to talk about the news today. you guys are complaining, upset, unhappy, filing complaints against the clinton campaign for its coordinated fundraising in hollywood. tad: we have concerns. there has been a lot of reporting about the way these joint fundraising committees are operating. the clinton campaign appears to be holding out to the public they are doing this great service, raising an enormous amount of money. it appears what is happening is just the opposite. they are funneling it back into their campaign. they're paying overhead costs, spending millions of dollars for low dollar donors. there is one statistic, they spent $4 million to raise $3.2 million and low dollar contributions. it should be looked into, there should be transparency. john: are you suggesting they are violating the fund-raising limits?
11:36 am
tad: i think that is a question that needs to be investigated. there is a limit of $2700 for individual contributions. we need transparency. we certainly, i tell you this, our campaign is not going to be involved in a system that is not be in full accordance with the law and also, too, bernie's concern that many of the things, the reforms that president obama tried to implement with party fundraising, not taking money from lobbyists, that we are moving away from that. he feels should we be moving in the opposite direction. towards a kind of system he has developed himself and implemented in this campaign which is to move away from super pacs and for people to fund the campaign. john: let's talk about the race. jeff said he had a secret document showing the path to nomination for bernie sanders. assuming you do not win 60-40 tomorrow, is there still a mathematical path? tad: there is. i see the skepticism of this
11:37 am
among the ranks. we follow it very closely. i've spent a lot of time county -- counting delegates through the years. just in the last couple weeks, we have made ground. we picked up a few delegates over the weekend in colorado. a lot of our people showed up even though there was a blizzard in denver. i believe we can get there by the end. by get there, i believe we can have more pledged delegates than hillary clinton. john: give us some example of some states where you will make big amounts of delegates. [all talking at once] tad: there are 1675 pledged delegates left to be selected. we have to make less than 200. in places like oregon where i think we will have a very strong victory. like we've had our west in other
11:38 am
-- out west in other places. there's 807 pledged delegates on the seventh of june, including california. we could be in a position to win across the board and california. win a substantial victory and make up a lot of ground there. and caucus states. the caucus process is a living delegate calendar. it is as backloaded as the delegate allocation calendar is frontloaded. we are going to continue to win delegates in those processes. three or four there. u.n. four delegates in -- you win four delegates in a state convention and your opponent, that is 8 delegates. that is how we are going to do it. in some places, a little at a time. and a couple of the days of voting, a lot of the time. john: answer the question -- every state i have seen so far when bernie sanders had time on the ground, he has closed the gap and won those states. here, he has not moved the needle in new york.
11:39 am
why has the needle not moved more? tad: we will see how far the needle moves tomorrow. the real clear politics average of michigan was down 21 the day we won. let's give him one more day. but i agree with you. we have not seen the kind of public poll movement we have seen elsewhere. i think that is due to a couple things. one, independents cannot vote in new york. two, the restriction -- was many months ago when you could change parties before we began to grow. three, this is hillary clinton's home state. and she is well known and well liked here. she has real standing with voters here. four, the electorate is likely to be 58-42 female-male. there are a lot of places where she has real advantage. if you were out there yesterday with 30,000 people, and hopefully tonight we will have another, in washington square. you can feel it. bernie really does get things going. we hope to have a good day tomorrow.
11:40 am
and next week we have got five contests and we want to win all across the states as well. john: you are not predicting a win tomorrow? tad: no, i'm not. you caught me saying we're going to win wisconsin. and i did, i felt that we could win there. even the clinton poling said we were 25 down in nevada month out. after nevada we decided we were going to take a long and difficult road to the nomination. i believe we will get there and by the way, we are beginning to see senator bennett at the colorado convention -- senator leahy said the same thing -- senators endorsing hillary clinton saying, i'm going to take a look at who has the most pledged delegates when this is over. i think the more people who start saying that and doing that the more it is going to be apparent that there is a road for us to begin to pick up more. mark: back and forth on the role of super delegates. totally fine from your point of view to win this by having superdelegates put you over the
11:41 am
top? tad: both candidates will need superdelegates. mark: if she has more pledged delegates, you think it is totally fine to reverse the lead by winning more superdelegates? tad: i do, because i think those superdelegates have an obligation to do what is right for the party. john: up next, barry bennett from the trump campaign after this. ♪
11:44 am
john: what bb king is to the blues, this bb is to trump politics. barry bennett, senior adviser to donald trump's campaign joins us on set. explain to me how it is that the assertion your campaign is making 1400 pledged delegates. explain how that is actually plausible. barry: once you get to 1238, you probably have 1600. the parade starts and people start jumping on board.
11:45 am
this phenomenon -- we see now with an explosion in the polling the last few days. ted cruz is now finishing last in all of the northeast states. john: that would suggest you're going to get to 1237 before june 7. when is that going to happen? what day do we get there? barry: i think it is in june. john: what contests are there? barry: we have these unpledged folks. mark: does mr. trump's tweet represent the position of the campaign, that you think that ted cruz and john kasich should quit the race? barry: he admitted yesterday there is no way for him to get to 1237. he's been disbelieving the laws of math for a while. i mean, if you can't win, there is no way him going to a second ballot gets him anything other than watching some established -- establishment person become
11:46 am
the nominee. all these people who are helping him now, they will pretend they never met him by the time we get to the second out. mark: i want to come back to the point you made, should they put the race over not? barry: i think they have campaigned really hard but ted cruz lost every county. finish last in every county in new york. mark: can i get you to look at the camera and say ted cruz, john kasich, you should quit. barry: i think it is time. mark: they should quit? you suggested if somehow you do not get to majority and i know some say you will get to the majority, but let's say you did not, you said that ted cruz would not win on a second or third ballot, someone else would? barry: no, he's a trojan horse for the establishment. it is speaker ryan, mitt romney, marco rubio, whoever they choose. ted cruz, as you guys both know is one of the most unpopular persons in washington ever. they did not fall in love with him. they are using him.
11:47 am
john: but washington does not take the nominee, the delegates do. barry: the establishment, they are the ones trying to get to a second ballot. mark: he has got the second most delegates. he is still winning delegates. barry: third ballot, everyone is up for grabs. john: you concede you guys might not get to 1237. barry: no. john: there is zero possibility, it is guaranteed you will get to 1237. 100%. mark: haley barbour says it is less than 50%. barry: i don't work for haley barbour. mark: explain the confusion because you have a vested interest in saying of course he will get it. jeff roe says you will never get there. but haley barbour seems impartial in this. he seems pretty friendly towards mr. trump. he says not a done deal, less than 50%. where is the disconnect between those who are disinterested
11:48 am
parties who say you definitely will and those who say less than 50%? barry: because they are not looking at current polling. if you look at what is happening in the states in the last 10 days, ted cruz is really falling hard. i don't know why, but look at the fox national poll, he fell 10 points. now he is finishing last behind kasich in rhode island and maryland and pennsylvania. it's connecticut even. he's just not connecting with voters. mark: who's running your campaign now? barry: donald trump, first of all. corey and paul both. mark: who do you report to? barry: i report to paul. john: you used to report to corey. barry: they are both higher on the food poll than me. john: who told you you are now
11:49 am
working for paul as opposed to corey? barry: corey. the washington office is under paul. mark: there has been a lot of reports about friction, a lot of contention in your campaign about this change -- paul was hired to run the convention. now he seems to have a bigger role than that. at the level of contention right now within the campaign on the scale of one to 10, with 10 being the most internal friction, where are you at? barry: everybody i talk to, there is so much work to be done. people are just doing their job. john: everyone is happy. mark: tell me if i am off. mr. trump giving a foreign-policy speech in washington next wednesday. barry: you would expect him to give more policy speeches in the coming days. mark: what other topics? barry: whatever policy issues present themselves. mark: is there a teleprompter set up in his office for him to practice?
11:50 am
barry: don't know. i am not in his office. he was very good on the teleprompter. mark: is there teleprompter set up in trump towers? barry: not that i'm aware of. mark: you guys are going to start spending more on tv ads. when will that start? barry: starting right now. mark: will you advertise in all 15 remaining states? barry: the proportional states going from 45% to 50% get you two extra delegates. i would not spend $2 million to do that but i would in california and indiana. mark: do you have polling in nebraska? barry: no. john: is there any other state that you think you can win? -- can't win? barry: um, no. john: they are all winnable. mark: i know endorsements are not a huge deal. you did get the endorsement of chris christie and ben carson.
11:51 am
