>> yeah, i'm not going to be commenting on the presidential comment today. >> i'm not spending my time about commenting by the ups and downs and in betweens by the comments. >> trump's relationship with the rnc is reportedly getting more quote sour. repu republicans up for reelection are looking to campaign with former president bush instead of trump and rather than patching things up, trump is telling gop leaders to shut up. >> the republicans, honestly, folks, our leaders have to get tougher and be quiet. just please be quiet. don't talk. please be quiet. they are the leaders because they have to get tougher. they have to get sharper. they have to get smarter. we have to have republicans stick together or let me do it by myself. i'll do well. >> republicans might be happy to keep their distance given trump's plummeting numbers

against hillary clinton. an nbc poll shows more voters hold positive views of clinton a five-point edge and a bloomberg poll gives her a 12-point favorability and "the washington post" has her 14 points ahead on favorability and clinton is already looking to increase her advantage. she's out with her first tv ads of the general election across eight battle ground states. >> who we are as a nation. >> i'd like to punch him in the face. >> do we help each other? >> knock the crap out of him, seriously. >> do we respect each other? >> i don't know what i said. i don't remember. >> do we stand together? >> let's bring in our panel. democratic strategist tara who

knew a different side of trump as a contestant on "the apprentice" and annie, political reporter covering the clinton campaign and matt welsh editor of "at large magazine." thank you for being here matt, have republican leaders finally dropped hopes trump will change? >> oh my god, yes. the idy that he was -- that a 70-year-old man was about to change spots and pivot hard in the general election, i think they knew was fantasy to begin with. so a question of, excuse me, how you dealt with that in advance. did you do it by saying i'm not going to show up at the convention? did you do the song and dance like paul ryan where he looks the worst of a lot of i'm not going to endorse, i am going to endorse or pull a mitch mcconnell and say i'm going to endorse him and never talk about him again and hopefully we don't get slaughtered. they know now he's not going to change this is what they are

saddled with and there are a lot of people answering bad -- >> not only changing but seems to be getting worse and you've been covering the clinton campaign. are they just popping popcorn and sitting back enjoying this like a matinee. >> very confident. >> like the movies? >> not quite but really confident and see what they think a lot of unforced errors, going after the judge for one and now the republicans sort of fleeing from him. what we saw after he became the presumptive nominee looked like consolidation and the polls showed this wasn't a normal candidate, it could shape up where republicans fall in line with the nominee and the democrats for the democrat but then there seems to be a reverse. hillary clinton looks like she's unifying the party and what looked like the other side seems to be falling apart. >> she seems to be picking up some republicans even. you know, i saw an interesting

headline, tara, in the new york times late this week where the unlikely savior emerges to help endangered republicans. george w. bush. what does it say that you've got people running for reelection to the senate saying they want george w. bush as opposed to the republican nominee to come in and campaign for that, for them, and raise money for them. what does that say? >> it was not long ago when george w. bush -- >> most unpopular man to leave the white house. >> did not want to be seen with him, campaign with him, talk about him. the fact people would rather campaign with george w. bush who was once toxic versus their nominee is problematic with donald trump. i'd say with respect to trump, when you look -- this is a guy who has spent his whole life

being coddled. someone whose constantly been told yes, he surrounds himself with yes people so the notion he would ever take advice from the republican party and fall in line what they wanted when he su surrounded himself with yes people, that was never going to happen. >> talking about how he's been all his life, i mean, even his language when you talk about how he's turned off certain people, his language has always been sort of different. i can go back to 2011 when he talked about the blacks, the blacks, the women, the muslim. people don't talk like that anymore. let me show you. >> i have a great relationship with the blacks. i've always had a great relationship with the blacks. >> everyone says trump with the mexicans. >> the muslims have to work with us. >> and for the gays out there,

ask the gays and ask the people. ask the gays. >> i mean, the gays, the mexicans, it's all -- it's very much implying they are different. it's them, not us. that's the inference. >> the selling proposition of his campaign is of his vision of american nationalism. right? so it is filled with others. the main others are the muslim others, the mexican others and the chinese others and there are other others. >> and the president wasn't born. we started with the ultimate other individual who happened to be the president of the united states and commander in chief. >> which is amazing. the fact there is any republicans this week, last week saying we can't believe that trump is saying this about the president. he was the biggest birther on the planet in 2011, but another thing that trump does is he changes his spots. in 2012 he said mitt romney lost the election because of his

anti-mexican. >> we'll get to that more in the next block but the fact there is one who is not done that in terms of denouncing the president and that's hillary clinton. in fact, they sounded very similar, president obama and her this week. let me play you what the president said and what she said and the similarities were note worthy. let's put it that way. >> is donald trump suggesting that there are magic wordes tha uttered we'll stop terrorists. >> there is no phrase to the radical islam. >> trump's words will be in fact they already are a recruiting tool for isis. >> that's their propaganda. that's how they recruit. >> will responsible republican leaders stand up to their presumptive nominee? >> do republican officials actually agree with this?

>> annie, how effective is this one-two punch? >> i think very effective. it came on a day before they were supported to campaign together but effectively were obviously, corded message. hillary clinton's campaign started tweeting hashtag in sync. hillary is going to have to walk a fine line here because she and obama are not completely in sync on all foreign policy decisions. >> there is a difference. tara, let me ask this. are we seeing that the president whose favorability is high, is no longer considered as some used to say risky for her to kind of like really hope the president endorses and he's already endorsed but embrace and get out there and identify as much as she can with the

president? >> yes, president obama when people were saying he was risky, he was still going to be a huge asset to her. now he's even a bigger asset to her because his favorability numbers have gone up. the people who like president obama, he has a very strong coalition that has maintained itself even when things weren't going great for him in terms of the media coverage. but i will tell you this, donald trump is used to being on the offensive. he's not used to having to play defense. it is very smart strategy for the president and secretary clinton to continue to hit him and not just hit him randomly but to hit him on the issues that people have concerned about, to hit him on things that make people nervous about him and his being a loose cannon, his being a risk to this country from a foreign policy standpoint, those are things that give people pause and make even some of -- some republicans concerned about him. >> let me take my bre and coal right back to you, annie. everybody stay with us. lots more ahead.

orlando massacre and this week the senate is planning to take up several propels. after a dramatic democratic filibuster, one measure is aimed at stopping those on a terror watch list for buying guns. it could make a difference. last year 244 transactions involved a person from a terror list trying to buy guns. they were able to do it 223 times. that's a 91% success rate. the other issue on the table, stronger background checks. an 89% of americans support it. friday marks the one-year anniversary of the mass shooting at mother emanuel church that killed nine. one who lost her mother and two cousins said her heart could not

the senate floor. thank you for joining me, senat senator. >> my pleasure. >> this week we expect to get to some votes. are you confident republican wills join you and democrats in voting on the in fly issue and background checks? >> i am not confident that we'll have the support. i hope we do. i know we have the support of american people. i know this is common sense to stop those who are terrorists from being able to get handguns and common sense to have background checks so we know people are legally entitled to have a handgun. this is common sense gun safety legislation that's overwhelmingly supported by the american people and we'll see how members of the senate vote this coming week. >> let me show you what two republican leaders, senator cruz

and of course, speaker ryan had to say because some republicans are casting this as about terrorism and not about gun control. listen to this. >> so the question is is going after the second amendment how you stop terrorism? no. we need to make sure we're focussing on the real issue which is terrorism. >> this is not a gun control issue. this is a terrorism issue. >> what's your response to those comments? >> we are talking about doing is people who should not have handguns being denied the opportunity to buy them, i don't think any american wants a terrorist able to go and legally buy a handgun. they want laws that prevent those who have felony records and those that are mentally have

problems, those are not entitled to have a handgun shouldn't be able to get it and go to a gun show and buy the handgun without a background check. this is not about the second amendment. it's very clear, the law-abiding citizens have the right to purchase handguns. there is nothing in any amendment that will i affect law-abiding citizens. >> you said the obstacle to reform, the pandering to the nra. how do we overcome that? >> you're absolutely right. the nra wants to block anything meaningful from happening. there is no rational for that. the nra believes they control the congress. i think the american people have a say how congress should act and i hope you see my colleague's respond to americans want us to do. we've gone through too many tragedies in our country and the one option that should be off the table is do nothing. it's time for congress to act.

people on the programs? >> do we have enough money? do we have enough programs? spoken like a man that repeatedly called from cutting trillions of dollars from the safety net and made those comments in front of a drug rehab center, under scoring the false view that all poor people are on drugs. that was the last straw for democratic congresswoman gwen moore. she's sick of states drug testing the poor for benefits even though studies show they useless drugs than people not on assistance so unveiled a bill that would drug test the rich. if they want tax breaks from the government, if someone is getting over $150,000 in tax deduction, more says they should prove they are not on drugs. she's treating welfare for the rich just like welfare for the

understands. i happen to think that he just doesn't know what he's doing but there are many people that think maybe he doesn't want to get it. >> we're lead by a man that either is not tough, not smart or he's got something else in mind and the something else in mind, you know, people can't believe it. >> trump even issued a statement saying quote, he continues to prioritize our enemy over our ally and for that, the american people for that matter and trump tweeted out this debunked article that claimed the obama administration had actively supported isis. let me bring back our panel. tara, annie carney and matt welsh. let me go to you, annie. why is this kind of language bubbling up again? >> for one, i think it's happening because obama just endorsed and now he's going to be the most effective surrogate

for hillary clinton. her path is the obama coalition and he's a big part of getting those people to vote but one thing i'd say is the attacks on obama are a gift to hillary clinton, i think. i think she looks best not when she's defending herself but when she's not role of defending her president, defending obama. voters i talked to through the primary, a big motivating factor is she had his back. >> it energizes his base. >> but she's -- so her -- hillary is defense or attack dog for obama is a more likable image of her than if she was just defending herself or her husband. so i think that trump is actually doing her a bit of a gift by letting her play that role here. >> tara, the obama derangement syndrome seems to be spreading. this week senator john mccain said president obama was responsible for the orlando massacre. listen to this.

>> barack obama is directly responsible for it because when he pulled even out of iraq, al qaeda went to syria, became isis. >> now later in the week senator mccain of course, walked it back and said he was talking about the president's policies, not the president personally. but it's still a very disappointing thing coming from john mccain. >> well, donald trump is a rabid dog and appears to have bitten john mccain and spread the rabi rabies. he's seen to appeal to trump supporters because -- >> you mean his reelection. he's in a tough reelection. >> yes, yes, you see him trying to appeal to trump supporters and what mobilizes trump supporters is this anti obama, this veiled in john mccain's case discriminatory

statements, john mccain is dog whi whistling. it energizes supporters. it's not lost on john mccain. they will vote. >> matt, before we get too far over there, there is a startling poll i want to raise this week. nbc polled americans are split on trump's call for a muslim ban. 50% support it. 46% oppose it. i mean, is that what trump is appealing to this wide spread hostility toward muslims? >> i mean, he has popularized that. that number would be different if he wasn't talking about this for six months that gets in our minds the steaks of this election and rhetoric around it, which should i think be alarming to a lot of people. it's ridiculous on the face to ban people waiting to ask them, are they muslim. >> or constitutional doj. >> that's a little bit less

clear. for mccain, remember last time john mccain had a competitive election in 2010 and made the worst commercial we've seen in a long time called complete the dang defense, right? the problem with trump is not necessary he's so different than republicans but actually emanates from things we've seen from him for the last 15 years, not just obama but the convention in new york and the way they call democrats girly men. this is the way they produced it. >> annie, when you look at the fact that trump loves his obama conspiracies, will we start seeing him roll out the clinton conspiracies? >> i'm sure. i think that he's saying he's just getting started on hillary. he's down in the polls and kind of acknowledging as much, which is rare for him to acknowledge he's losing and stay i haven't started. yes, we've seen him go after bill clinton. i've been a little surprised that he seems to prefer,

actually, this is interesting, he seems to prefer bill clinton and barack obama as head on targets over hillary clinton herself. >> interesting. >> i've been surprised he didn't make more e-mails the other week when the ig report came out. >> interesting. >> well, let me ask you, tara, a will it work during a general election? >> i think donald trump's fear mongering will continue to keep his supporters energized and certainly that's a priority for him. the part of why he doesn't want to pivot on certain issues he probably would be willing to pivot on since he's okay with being on every side, one of the reasons he doesn't want to pivot is because he does not want to alienate those folks to have been long-time supports. that's something he's clearly considering and part of his thought process. i want to say one thing, i think you have to be careful. i think some of what he believes is more popular than we would like to think. >> tara, we'll have to leave it there. thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you.
