it will be interesting to see. >> what do you say? i respect donald even if we disagree. >> dangerously incoherent. >> the conclusive condemnation of her opponent. howard and jay, thanks for being here. that is it for this hour. i will be back with "hardball" 7:00 p.m. eastern and coming up is "mtp daily." we'll be right back. it's thursday it might be the single best performance for hillary clinton in this campaign year so far. she mainly took what should be among her vulnerabilities, foreign policy, and turned it into a pounding on trump. but trump got his own important gift, the one endorsement that was left that still might matter. this is "mtp daily" and it starts right now. good evening.

another big day on the campaign trail. i'm chuck todd in washington. welcome to "mtp daily." take a are breath as you know, a wild couple hours. late this afternoon came the news after 29 days of holding out, republican house speaker paul ryan has decided to support the presumptive republican nominee, donald trump. that major news came actually at the same time that hillary clinton was in the middle of what turned out to be an all-out assault on trump's foreign policy positions. she was in rare form. slamming trump as a dangerous, no nothing, temperamental liar, who will lead us into nuclear war. she didn't leave an implication unturned. over an hour ago clinton wrapped up that major address where she aimed to make it all about trump and take a what should have been a vulnerability for her, foreign policy, and tried to make it about trump temperament and everything else. >> donald trump's ideas aren't

just different, they are dangerously incoherent. they're not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies. he is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability, and immense responsibility. this is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes, because it's not hard to imagine donald trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin. [ applause ] >> that was just the beginning of a foreign policy speech that was more about trump sometimes than foreign policy. in fact, at times she outright mocked him. >> he says he fas foreign polhay experience because he ran the

miss universe pageant in russia. there's no risk of people losing their lives if you blow up a golf course deal. but it doesn't work like that in world affairs. we all know the tools donald trump brings to the table. bragging, mocking, composing nasty tweets. i'm willing to bet he's writing a few right now. this isn't reality television. this is actual realty. >> he did tweet. she came back to the image of trump in control of the u.s. nuclear arsenal. >> imagine if he had not just his twitter account at his dis posal when he's angry, but america's entire arsenal. do we want him making those calls? someone thin skinned and quick to anger, who lashes out at the smallest criticism. do we want his finger anywhere

near the button? >> trump responded, just like hillary clinton predicted with a flurry of tweets including this one. bad performance by crooked hillary clinton. reading poorly from the teleprompter. she doesn't even look presidential. trump has been attacking clinton since last night in anticipation of what he thought would be a flurry of foreign policy attacks. >> she lies. you remember that. i started that. she lies. she lies. she made a speech and she's making another one tomorrow and they sent me a copy of the speech. it was such lies about my foreign policy. i'll be honest, she has no natural talent to be president. you talk about bad judgment. she broke federal law by putting her e-mails on a secret, private server that foreign countries could easily get to and hack. >> folks, here's the big

picture. bill clinton, george w. bush and barack obama all have one thing in common, all struggled at times mightily with how to effectively harness america's super power muscle in a post-cold war era. this is a challenge for the next president. for clinton it was missteps in somalia, rwanda and haiti that plagued his administration. for bush the iraq war and obama, the entire middle east quagmire including missteps in libya and the rise of isis. that question, of how to use america's power, will be a major challenge for whoever takes the oath january 20th, 2017, and it is this backdrop that should make foreign policy as much of a challenge for clinton as it clearly is for trump. she arcs across all three of those administrations. she was, of course, first lady with bill clinton. she voted for the iraq war during bush. a mistake that has haunted her presidential aspirations since. she was obama's secretary of state for four years where she served as the face of his foreign policy for better or worse and, of course, she was among the bigger advocates of

going into libya which, of course, that in itself is a mess today. as we saw in today's scathing attack on trump clinton's strategy on this issue mirrors her approach on others, i'm not trump. she is running on stability, and predictability. in an effort to make trump look erratic and unprepared. trump has given her a lot of material to work with. trump gave a big address on foreign policy in late april where he outlined an america first foreign policy. but most of the headlines noted that his speech was a mess of contradictions. here's a look back at a few of those contradictions. >> we pick fights with our oldest friends and now they're starting to look elsewhere for help. remember that. not good. the countries we are defending must pay for the cost of this defense. and if not, the u.s. must be prepared to let these countries defend themselves. we have no choice. my foreign policy will always

put the interests of the american people and american security above all else. it has to be first. has to be. we have done nothing to help the christians, nothing. and we should always be ashamed for that. for that lack of action. i would like to talk today about how to develop a new foreign policy direction for our country. one that replaces randomness with purpose, ideology with strategy, and chaos with peace. we have to be unpredictable. and we have to be unpredictable starting now. >> of course those just scratch the surface. trump has made contradictory statements about fighting isis, torture, nuclear weapons, and polling shows the public does trust clinton more than trump on this issue. 27 point advantage on the issue of foreign policy. while the public is mixed on clinton's ability to handle an international crisis her ratings

are dramatically better than trump's on that same question. but here's where trump has an opening. if you liked america's foreign policy of the last two decades you will love hillary clinton. if you don't, then vote trump. it's going to be his basic simple message. more americans disapprove of president obama's handling of foreign policy than approach. 55% disapprove, 41% approve. that is the actual backdrop to this debate. i'm joined by a foreign policy and politics guru a pal of the show ian bremer, president of the our ray shah group and briefed multiple presidential campaigns on both sides of the aisle this year and in years past. good to see you. >> thanks, chuck. >> so let's talk this substance first. did you hear a lot of substance? i mean i think the headlines for many people are going to be, clinton pounds trump. clinton mocks trump. on substance, did you hear anything that tells you this foreign policy is going to be dramatically different than

barack obama, george w. bush or bill clinton? >> i saw a lot of focus on security, focus on support for allies. keep in mind when you hear about obama over the last couple years, you hear someone who has used the language of there are a lot of free riders among our allies, we need to rebalance in that regard. there's been a desire to get out of the middle east. that is what the pivot to asia was all about. clinton does come across as more muscular, more willing to wave the flag around these things, makes a lot of people on both sides of the aisle more comfortable among the establishment. i think that this was a speech that, frankly, could have been given by an establishment foreign policy speaker at any point in the last 20, 25 years. really since the collapse of d. >> republican or democrat. >> that's right. despite the fact that paul ryan and so much of the republican establishment leadership has gotten on board with trump, the republican foreign policy establishment has not. and there's no question that if you look at that very small

slice of america, those people really think that trump is a disaster for them. hillary can speak to them all day long. >> right. it was interesting, i heard you right after with brian and you made an important point here, that look, foreign policy, especially in this election, is unlikely to be a decisive issue for a voter, but, of course, there is the unpredictability of an unknown event that could take place, obviously in the fall. but i wonder, she was really -- was she making a foreign policy spoech or making a case against trump's temperament? >> i think she's making a case that the most important elected position in the world is one that you cannot risk with someone who is as temperamentally uncertain as unpolished, as thin skinned, as volatile. i mean obama was incredibly inexperienced but obama, if

anything was seen as emotionally unflappable, trump is inexperienced and about as flappable as you can get. that's clearly hillary's argument but that is, let's be clear, an argument that is against trump. it's not one that's in favor of hillary. so then you have a question of enthusiasm. i found it quite interesting that while she was giving that speech, if you looked at her website, at her home page, the only thing that was showing is we can't risk a trump presidency. i don't think that's compelling for turnout in favor of hillary. she's going to need to do more to excite audiences the way bernie sanders has and the way that donald trump has with his base. >> i thought that is an important point. let me ask you this, how difficult of a speech would this have been for her, if her opponent were a jeb bush or a marco rubio? somebody who, where they're sort of -- they're both within the 45-yard lines of foreign policy, the establishment community, one a little left, one a little right, this would have, to me, i

would assume this would have been a harder case to make because she would have spend time defending libya. she didn't have to do that today. >> not just libya. spend time defending russia. she was the one rith the re-set. she can say trump wants to cozy with russia and that's a credible thing to say even though she was the one that originally said we can work with then president medvedev, work with putin and that fell apart mightily. she doesn't -- the specifics of what she succeeded and failed at as secretary of state is kind of irrelevant to the debate against donald trump because the -- her coherence, the experience, the temperament she has that in spades. the problem is, this isn't apples and oranges. this is apples and mars. she's not debating against someone for whom a foreign policy acumen is remotely on the agenda. and the question is really, is she going to be able to get the media space? can she get people focused on any of the topics she wants to

really engage in? >> i know this in focus groups you hear that the one, the most effective hit on trump is the nuclear codes hit. on anything. it sort of -- it rattles -- that is the thing that sort of is something that makes people easily believe that that's an issue. one final question here for you. ian, on this front, which is, what is -- you know, what should the foreign policy debate be? i have thought that -- i think the next great crisis the president faces is the potential crack up of europe. >> you know, we can say that and i certainly think in the nearest term if you a brexit vote, the fact that special relationship would suddenly be under water, the most important alliance in the world in the last 75 years the transatlantic relationship, nato, the trade, all the rest, that it's weakest at any point in that period, that really matters. that's not what i think the most important issue. the most important issue is 9/11 hit the united states at a time that frankly was very good for america. the chinese were small. the russians were willing to

help. the europeans were aligned. the real problem and heres a where hillary can make a hit, there's going to be another big crisis at some point under the next president. and america, in its position in the world, is going to be much more challenged. the europeans won't be as aligned. the chinese will be much bigger. the russians will be trying to undermine us. and america will be much more polarized. you will need someone that is not going to overreact, that's going to be able to lead with whatever that next crisis is, massive recession, god forbid, terrorist attack. that's frankly where i think she needs to be much more compelling and i think she started to set some of the groundwork for that in today's speech. >> ian bremer, always a pleasure. thank you, sir. i have to say, nothing i enjoy reading more on monday mornings than your weekly notes. thank you, sir. coming up with paul ryan showing his support, finally, for donald trump is the gop actually embracing its nominee or just tolerating it? i'll talk with georgia senator

california and new jersey, of course, are the biggest presidential primary prizes on tuesday. but there will be races happening in four other states that day, including geographically among the bigger states in the country, montana, of course there's also new mexico and south dakota and the north dakota democratic caucuses. it's mon ta na we're focusing on. four republicans fighting for the chance to do something they haven't done in a while, hold the governor's mansion in the

state and unseat the incumbent governor. that's the race of the day. the likely winner of the republican primary on tuesday and the guy that will challenge the sitting governor in the fall is greg fornta, a businessman turned republican candidate in the mold of other recent winners states like michigan, florida, and illinois. like every race in 2016 the trump question does loom large. he told a local outlet last month he would support the nominee, quote, whom ever that ends up being, unquote. more cash on hand, even after jim forta's sunk tens of thousands into the race this year. our friends at the cook political report have this race as a likely democratic hold. at least in their column. montana likely to vote for a businessman turned republican politician for president but will they do the same for governor? will that help that gubernatorial ticket? we shall see. our race of the day. mon tap na governor. we'll see you in a minute. s join

>> nearly a month after donald trump became the presumptive nominee house speaker paul ryan has finally decided he would let the public know he will support the candidate. in a wake of a highly publicized meeting ryan writes through these conversations i feel confident, he, referring to trump work help us turn the ideas in this agenda, referring to his house republican agenda, into laws to help improve people's lives. that's why i'll be voting for him this fall. the word tepid isn't in there but easy to use that word to describe the endorsement. ryan's vote of support came without warning to the trump campaign and still without any commitment to public events with the nominee other than oh, maybe the convention, he is the chair of the convention. on many fronts the welcome for the new leader of the party has been luke warm. georgia senator david purdue is one of the few saying stop being luke warm, embrace it, embrace trump. he laid out the case in a

"washington post" opinion piece arguing trump is an outsider that the party actually needs, even if you don't agree with everything he says. purdue ran in 2014 as an outsider businessman himself. i spoke to the senator today, actually just moments before ryan's announcement and i started by asking him if his op ed was intended to essentially be a plea to people like ryan to get off the fence? >> absolutely. i think what we have here is a candidate that has increased voter turnout and republican primaries this year by 60%. he won michigan and mississippi, the same night, and yet we have some people in washington luke warm about our candidate. i don't understand that. it's the republican establishment's process. he went through that primary system, 12 debates, not one question on the debt by the way, and he has prevailed as the leading candidate. i just don't understand why we're not looking at this as what it really is, chuck, and that is, an opportunity to win

in some states where we haven't in a while. pennsylvania, ohio, wisconsin, michigan. i think this is an opportunity for us to really, i think, finally once and for all, call out the failures of the progr s progressive liberal movement in the last eight years and what we think we will see under hillary clinton. >> is it possible you're right and some of the republicans on the fence are right, speaker paul ryan, essentially you're making the case, hey, this is an outsider, needs a shakeup, this what is voters said to you in 2014, the message georgia voters sent, but i think the criticism of trump is not that he's an outsider, it's the tone he takes, it's that he may be alienating hispanics and folks like that. can you -- i mean that seems to be what's going on here. can you both be right? >> we struck a nerve here and what we discovered in 2013 and 2014, is that many people are voting more because of their frustration with washington and the lack of results than they are their own ideology. and so what a lot of people in

the party are doing, i think, is trying to work on the platform. well, that's the old way of looking at this. yes, these ideologies are permanent and they're consistently important to us, economic opportunity, fiscal responsibility, limited government, individual liberty, but we can't lose sight of the fact that we have a nominee that is actually calling out the very things that people back home that i hear every weekend, want us to talk about. politicians, bureaucrats and the media. what i personally like to see his tone different. that's one person's opinion. i can't argue with the fact that he has struck the nerve and gotten to this point. the worst thing we can do is transform him into the image of the washington establishment. i don't think you win doing that. right now he's calling out the things we need to be talking about. how to save social security, save medicare, how to stand up to our enemies abroad and make sure that we have the ability to defend our country. >> i believe ceo david perdue, whether you were ceo of the

reebok brand or ceo of dollar general, would be absolutely panicked at the talk of donald trump with china, would you not? >> here's what i do support. first of all i'm a free trader. i've lived outside of the u.s. some of my life. what you hear donald trump talk about is leveling the playing field. since 1965 we had the world poverty of the united states and not changed the poverty rate in the united states since '65, even with trillions spent behind the great society. what we have internationally is we've reduced international global poverty by some 60% or more. what you hear donald trump saying is look our workers in america, our businesses in america, need at least a fair shake in terms of dealing with you guys abroad. we feel like we haven't had that fair shake in the past. i applaud what he's saying and maybe it's time we take a stronger stance. >> are you ready to change your position on trade these days? are you not going to support a tpp under any circumstance?

>> no, i'm supporting the process and i haven't seen the final details of that and what we're trying to work on now is make sure that we get the right first step toward bringing in 11 countries that will give the united states most favored nation and influence people on things like pollution, trade, labor policies and so forth. if we don't do that we lose those abilities. >> your nominee -- >> within that is a negotiating process to make sure we get a fair shake with the foreign partners. >> your nominee is nowhere near where you are on that. >> i would prefer to see a change in direction guided by this candidate as a republican candidate with regard to the supreme court, as well as getting the economy going, as well as coming up with a workable plan to save social security and medicare, and at the same time recapitalize our military to provide for the national defense. i would much rather have this guy doing it than hillary clinton. >> but in all fairness, senator, your -- what you articulated as the agenda you want him do, i have not heard from him. >> well, i think you have.

>> you're hoping he's going to adopt this agenda? >> well, i think, look, the worst thing you can do is ask this guy right now put everything he's going to do out in policy. personally that's not what people at home want to talk about. this is what the political establishment is missing, chuck, and i think many of the media are as well. the people back home are more frustrated by their observation and their frustration with the lack of results in washington, than they are with the ideology. so what we want to do, what people inside the bubble want to do, the political bubble, they want him to come out and conform to their ideology or their way of thinking so they can pin him down on this. i'm trying to say wait a minute, he will put people around him and we will attack these problems. i'm fully convinced he has the where with all to put the right team around him much more so than hillary clinton. we have the fewest lowest worker participation rate, poverty rate hasn't changed, more businesses went out of business last year than started for the first time in our history, chuck. this is an economic fiscal

policy that is failing and i believe this guy will absolutely send us in the right direction to change that. >> appreciate it. maybe we'll see you on the trail. >> thanks a lot. i hope to see you soon. still ahead, bernie sanders' closing in on hillary clinton in the polls in california. but will his unregistered democratic supporters, the independents, be able to cast votes for him on tuesday? we'll have the complicated details. don't move. ♪ before it became a medicine, it was an idea. an inspiration. a wild "what-if." so scientists went to work. they examined 87 different protein structures. had 12 years of setbacks and breakthroughs, 4,423 sleepless nights, and countless trips back to the drawing board.

five days to go before hillary clinton and bernie sanders face off in the california presidential primary. here are the latest poll numbers from the golden state. we'll start with ours. nbc news/"wall street journal" maris, clinton with a two-point lead over sanders within the margin of error. this morning, well respected field poll, two points ahead of sanders, 45/43. moments ago our friends at usc and "l.a. times" have a poll out and interesting enough, clinton up 10 points on sanders among likely voters, among all registered voters in the same poll, sanders is up 1 point,

44/43. gee, wonder if turnout will matter. both candidates have milt. events in california, today, tomorrow, through tuesday trying to sway some of the last-minute undecided. nearly 44% of registered voters are democrats, 27% are republicans and another 24% have no party preference it's the last group that is going to be key to sanders' chances. those no party preference voters, declined to state as they're called in california, get a ballot without any presidential kands under california law, those voters can get a democratic ballot only if they ask for one at their polling place. this got very complicated for male -- mail voters, not the gender. independent voters are critical for california. our latest poll gives him a huge advantage, while clinton is dominant with democrats. this, perhaps, is the key to this primary. joining me now from california is see ma, political writer for

the l.a. times and former bill clinton white house adviser, chris lane. good to see you both. >> thanks for having me. >> see ma, start with you, you guys have the poll out. i did the top lines. give me the best nuggets underneath the top lines. >> i mean, we see sanders' support where we've seen it in the rest of the country, people who don't identify with any political party and including young minority voters. secretary clinton has had strong support among latinos and asians. in our poll we saw young latinos and asians supporting sanders. wilt depend on who turns out on tuesday whether it's sanders' supports, going by the tens of thousands to his rallies up and down the state whether that enthusiasm will translate into them heading to the ballot box and casting a vote for him. that's one thing i don't think anybody can predict at this point. >> chris, i at this point does feel as if the process here makes it an uphill battle for

sanders because, number one, the clinton campaign is eating his lunch on those who have voted, by mail, and second, this issue of -- sanders supporter not a registered democrat has to go an extra step to vote. is that going to be the reason he loses? >> that could end up being the dispositiontive issue in this election if you look at historic california voting patterns. we could have 60 to 70% of the vote be by mail and so these dts, decline to state voters, a lot of them will have voted on the ballots that came to their homes, for those independents who may not have reregistered or cross registered to vote in the primary may never have had the option at all. more interestingly if you look at historic voting patterns in our state over the last three or four cycles, of that 60 to 70% who vote by mail, maybe 30% or 40% vote in the first seven or ten days of the 30-day vote by mail window. between may 7th and may 14th.

a big chunk of the vote that is already in and from the polling i've seen and also from the demographics you're seeing from how the counties are reporting the votes coming in, both of those numbers would suggest that would favor and support the former secretary of state, again just extrapolating from prior data and what we've seen in patterns in the state. >> let's talk about turpout here. seema, any hint in the polling that indicates we will see a higher than usual turnout in what usually is a, frankly, low turnout primary these days? >> we've been hearing from the registrar of voters and the various counties and the state. they've seen an increase in voter registration. what's driving it? all these different organizations doing -- registering voters,p encouraging them to turn out. people are registering latinos, using donald trump as a villain to get more latinos to register and turn out. other people we know, secretary clinton's campaign is registering voters and sanders' campaign as well. we don't see as much infrastructu infrastructure?

terms of his campaign. we've seen an excitement in terms of voter registration but don't know who it's coming from. >> chris, what's your sense? i'm trying remember the last time a -- we've had a high california turnout in a primary. >> yeah. i mean, you haven't had a situation like this probably going back, you know, doing this off the top of my head to 1984, which would have been the mondale/hart the most contested and still relevant in the context of the race. look, i think that you will have participation because i think this race is getting foled. i think -- followed. i think what secretary clinton did today with her speech was in effect a three-fer, trying to set up the national narrative on the public trust issue, it was, obviously, communicating to primary voters in particular california primary voters in a way not taking on her primary challenger sanders, and finally trying to win the round of the last ten seconds, carry the press coverage over the weekend and so, you know, i think that will probably help her a little

bit here as we get to the end. i do think turnout will be bigger than what people have anticipated and what we've seen in the past. >> you know, if demographics are destiny in this primary campaign it pretty much has, so far eight of the ten largest states, have gone to hillary clinton. the tenth largest state, michiganrs the one that sanders has won. california is the biggest. seema, i'll start with you. any evidence that sanders has made inroads with latinos beyond young latinos? >> i'm not sure but i think looking at secretary clinton's schedule and her husband's schedule over the next five days shows they have nervous and latinos are an enormous voting block in california and she had their support in the 2008 run but in our poll we did see with the young latinos. i think there is an open question about how much can she or how much can senator sanders grow his support among latinos. >> if he can't, what's the number, chris, this is the out question, the number, chris, that sanders needs among latinos to win? he doesn't have to win a

majority of them, but what's the number he needs? >> you know, i think latinos will be about 20, 22% of the overall primary vote. i think looking at, you know, just doing the raw numbers, he's got to get close to 50% of that. i think to be competitive and in a position to win out here and i think that's going to be tough to do, but the polling suggests she he's been closing on those numbers. >> something only happened in a nevada caucuses and a lot people don't believe those exit polls were correct. >> democrats whether hillary or sanders democrats are all-in on the warriors and sharks out here. to make sure people know that. >> are you okay with that? the warriors you saw the hype if the western conference wins the republicans win the bus. >> they have defied every expectation 73% and bring a democrat to the white house. that will add to their win total. >> all right. well plugged in there. good to talk to you. seema, nice to see you as well. >> thank you. up next, both campaigns are making bold promises but do

voters think they can deliver? no. we have new insight into voters' expectations. they're very low these days. stay tuned. hi! hey! i've made plans for later in case this date doesn't go well. same here. wouldn't it be great if everyone said what they meant? the citi double cash card does. earn 1% cash back when you buy, and 1% as you pay. double means double.

flyby for the graduating air force academy cadets this afternoon. well, just after they finished, something went wrong with one of the f-16s. it crashed in a colorado field. the pilot, thankfully, managed to eject safely. president obama was at the air force academy today delivering the commencement speech. news of the crash broke after the president had left the academy, and was on his way back while on air force one. but before heading home, the president was able to meet with the thunder bird pilot who evicted safely. the white house -- ejected safely. he thanked the pilot and expressed relief that the pilot wasn't seriously injured. we'll be right back. ♪

it's lid time joining me molly of the atlantic, nbc news reporter perry bacon and nathan gonzalez. i know we tease this poll but i want to go back to sort of the day's large events. perry, hillary clinton today, i think -- i tweeted this, the washington, d.c., bedwetters about her candidacy and performance being able to counter trump, i'm guessing, they're not complaining to robby mook today. >> she gave the speech she should give today, big, broad, about donald trump and the speech he cannot be president he's not qualified for it. imagine bernie sanders giving a speech like that, barack obama doing it, michele obama, it's a which to unary infy the party in a way where i think her arguments about policy have not worked so far to unify the party. >> it was interesting, nicole wallace said something on our air, nathan, she thought that trump should have had his counter narrative ready.

hillary clinton could be vulnerable on libya. is vulnerable on syria. some of the decisions made, this is not a popular foreign policy, granted none of the foreign policy of the last 15 years has been his campaign didn't have that narrative ready. >> i don't know if planning ahead has been the trump campaign specialty. the fly by the seat of his pants, the being a wild card as he talked about, i think that has appealed to some people. they don't like the past foreign policy. >> she seemed to be comfortable in the moment. that's what we had not seen with her.

was she comfortable sort of getting tough on trump. she looked comfortable for the first time doing it. >> the poise and the seriousness. >> she didn't laugh during her mocks. the audience did but she kept it. it was interesting how she kept her cool. >> democrats have been waiting and hoping this is the hillary clinton who would emerge. it was can she counter his unpredictable with this grounded seriousness that contrasts with his persona instead of trying to meet him where he is. >> i will not promise to meet with leaders of this country during my first year. i don't want to be used for propaganda purposes. i thought that was irresponsible and frankly, naive. if the foreign policy that we're doing is unpopular and she's making the case of more of the

same, does that give trump an opening? >> i don't think so in this speech because she didn't give a foreign policy address. she said donald trump is unqualified, unpresidential and has the wrong temperament. i think that's a smart approach. i think she should defend the foreign policy of the obama administration because it's not very popular as you noted. >> i don't think the speech happens today if she was up against somebody else. this was a donald trump te temperament speech. >> it was for the people who want her to be more direct. >> paul ryan. what did you think? he got there. >> he got there. we knew he was going to get there. there's been this slow march toward the endorsement by paul

ryan. i know some people have thought he might never get there. >> he kind of had no choice. i know that's a weird thing to say. >> the two aspects of paul ryan's personality that have been at war in this decision, i think this was hard for him. he was really a battle inside paul ryan about whether he could do this. on the one hand, you have the paul ryan who is deeply committed to policy and conservative ideas, and on the other hand you have the paul ryan who is team player, not to say a suck up. >> i get the sense that congressman paul ryan would have never endorsed him but speaker paul ryan did. that's who endorsed him. he said i'll vote for him because i have to. >> one of the main criticism of the republican leadership is they are not listening to grass roots republicans. by not supporting the nominee, he would not be support whing w a majority of republicans said.

we're at 90 days. it's three months that mitt romney made never trump speech. >> he has never the temperament nor the judgment to be president. his personal qualities would mean it would be a shining city on a hill. >> he is not just unprepared. he is tempermentally unfit to hold a office for immense responsibility. >> let isis take out assad and we can pick up the remnants. think about that. let the most dangerous terror organization the world has ever known take over an entire country. this recklessness is recklessness in the extreme. >> he actually said, and i

quote, maybe syria should be a free zone for isis. oh, okay. let a terrorist group have control of a major country in the middle east. >> okay. who wore it best? >> worked out so well for mitt romney. it's going to work just as well for hillary. >> mitt romney republicans will like what hillary said today but do they exist in the electorate. polls suggest they don't. trump is doing well in the polls. >> a group of americans if mitt romney is against someone and hillary clinton is against someone, that's exactly who they want because they're tired of the status quo. >> all right thank you. we'll be right back after this. for as long as i can. new patented ensure enlive has hmb plus 20 grams of protein to help rebuild muscle. for the strength and energy to do what you love.
