two presidential politics now. we begin tonight with what appears to be a preview of the fall campaign. it started with hillary clinton's review of donald trump's candidacy. he is of course replying in signature style. >> i believe the person the republicans have nominated for president cannot do the job. >> i mean, i watched hillary today. it was pathetic. it was pathetic. >> they're not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies. >> after what she said about me today in her phony speech -- that was a phony speech -- i will say this. hillary clinton has

jail. she has to go to jail. >> he is not just unprepared. he is temperamentally unfit. >> i watched hillary's speech today, which was hard. to watch her was like sleeping all night. >> "meet the press" moderator chuck todd joins us now. >> this is june. this is going to be until november. >> what an exchange. she was really strong, chuck. all those republican opponents tried to rattle donald trump and failed. has clinton done it? >> what's been amazing is how i think poorly he's responded here. there's a number of ways to respond to her on this. he could have had his own critique of foreign policy in her time as secretary of state. he could lengthen out critiques on transparency issues and

insu insult. it >> it's worked for him okay so far. >> it's a new jury now. there's a whole new chunk of voters that haven't voted in the republican primary. these are the people when you look at the polls, those voters, they're sitting there. he's not doing anything that i'm aware of to improve his standing with women, to improve his standing with hispanics. if you don't do that, the matt doesn't work with the electoral college. i have no idea why he's campaigning in california. it's baited himself. he's baited himself to say the things he's said about the federal judge. if he said that as a sitting president, we'd have a constitutional crisis. the executive branch is charged with enforcing what the

judiciary branch does. people would be -- >> because of his background. >> there's no way he'll be fair to me because he just happens to be hispanic. >> all along the way, trump has said outrageous things. we say this is going to be the one. >> i was struck. you guys did a terrific montage to launch this because i'm sitting here going we have not ever had a presidential general election where literally one guy is sitting there saying one goes to jail and the woman saying this guy is a lunatic. we're really going to tear this country apart. i'm very concerned that this election, as badly as we have polarized before, with rhetoric like this for five straight months w

people getting eggs thrown at them. >> what do you think? then we have a big republican leader paul ryan, who then endorses him. a little tepidly, very slowly, but still endorses him. doesn't take any kind of stand. then backs away the next day. >> i think he would like it to be known as this. the speaker of the house endorsed donald trump. i think congressman paul ryan, if he weren't speaker of the house, would not be doing it. he would be with mitt romney. he is the elected leader of house republicans. they have chosen him to lead him. if he stayed on the sidelines, it splinters the republican party. he doesn't want to be the guy that's done that. that's how he brought himself to where he had to get. he said basically i know she won't sign any bills

him. i think he will. that's how we came around. >> that's the endorsement. >> the problem trump has though is when the going gets tough. the foreign policy speech is perfect proof. donald trump was on his own defending himself. you didn't see mitch mcconnell defend him on foreign policy or paul ryan. that's where he's getting the support, but i'm calling them supporters in names only, kind of like rinos. >> we're counting on you to make sense of all this. >> it's a little bit early. set your alarm clock. >> we have an important program note.
