how much trouble is trump for the gop? because he says things that might play well with the republican primary voter but is disastrous on the general election stage. and that's not to say that he's going it get this but for a party that knows it has a problem with people of color, with young women, with young people and needs to do something, needs to change its image, its policies, that appeal to folks in each of those categories, to have someone in the republican presidential race, on that republican presidential debate stage, hurling hand grenades like mexicans are rapists comments is only going to distract the party from the mission that it needs to accomplish if it ever hopes to win the white house again, but also distracts all the other candidates from talking about real issues. >> victoria bush commented on trump's comments, but so far, he's the only one. are you surprised that i been so quiet -- they have been so quiet? >> i'm not surprised. bush through a line in the sand and said i'm going to be the latino-friend

gop not condemning donald trump fast enough.ckly, how well. >> ted cruz came to his defense. was that a little risky for him? >> he is so far to the right. this is the problem for republicans. many people in the base do believe what donald trump is saying. there are people who think that immigrants coming across are all drug dealers. people like ted cruz is appealing to that group. there are people like jeb bush who are also saying my wife's an hispanic immigrant. there are many -- rick perry was saying there are many who contribute wonderfully to this country who are immigrants. we're a country made up of immigrants. >> don't discount them. you talked about the gop race. how tight is it? we know only what the top ten are going to get on that debate stage. that's very important for them. >> it's very tight. gop on hunger games. 16 candidates and ten chairs. you do not want to be the last one chosen for dodge ball in gym class. you look bad if you're on the b team and people don't -- winning. you win a primary and poll numbers sh

there are a number of issues that confront the gop. and many of the candidates going forward. do they start boycotting events where trump is invited? are they going to be comfortable sharing the debate stage with him? i've already talked to campaigns before today that have been expressing trepidation about being on stage with trump for fear that just trump's presence would make barnum & bailey blush. he has no qualms about scorch earth politics. he will smear anyone or anything if they criticize him. that's what he did to john mccain. he was upset over that criticism so look thomas i think he may have passed the point of no return. the only risk now for the republican party by pushing him away is the fact that trump could take his ball and say i will run as an independent and truly muck up the process. >> i know, chuck, you will have much more on the trump factor tomorrow on "meet the press." we will see you then. thank you. >> now the other major story we are following tonight. that deadly shooting rampage in tennessee. today a navy petty officer died of wounds suffered in on

so can the gop expand its base in 2016?n, the press corps wants to talk about donald trump and his comments about mexicans but perry's speech was very interesting for a republican. what is he up to here? >> i think he is making the case that liberal governance has not done a lot for black america, and he says just look at the track record here. look at cities that liberals have run from chicago to detroit to washington, d.c., to baltimore and look how blacks are faring in these places. the big problem is poor political representation. >> and contrast that with results in texas. >> exactly. and he says they like to talk about income equality but they don't talk about the simple cost of living what zoning laws have done to san francisco in terms of driving -- >> high taxes. the difficulty of starting your own business and so forth. he thinks blacks would be better off taking advantage of our two-party system and he's right. the left takes the black vote for granted, and he even criticizes the republican party for not doing mo

and the gop has to understand that. there are some gop insiders who would say that quietly. they wouldn't say this publicly. they said the gop could use a face list. and i think that trump brings that kind of excitement that can track outside boulders. and in the end, we'll see how far it takes him. that's an e leetist attitude. and the political establishment is going to have to learn that donald trump plays by his own set of rules. and donald trump can do some things and say some things that the party establishment and other candidates, on both sides of that, will know. i could never get away with saying that. it would destroy me. but, like i said, dontd trump is a different kind of cat. >> why would it destroy other people and not donald trump. is it because he's not pliically correct or he doesn't really give a darn. >> i think it's a little bit of that. he doesn't owe anybody anything. one of the things that the political class know social security you don't talk about issues. you talk around them. he gets to play by a different set of rules. that's rubbing a lot of peo

i think that the gop should be criticizing the other side. right now like him or not donald trump is -- >> you're okay with cowboys. >> criticizing republicans when rand paul was criticizing republicans, when donald trump was criticizing republicans. but when you criticize trump you call it bashing. that's hypocritical. >> why are we wasting our time and valuable air time saying donald trump used to be for this and now he's against it? donald trump says this. instead of looking at hillary clinton or joe you know what story fell off the face of the earth? martin o'malley walked back a comment all lives matter and we didn't even hardly cover it. one more thing. that is a huge story. >> of course it is. >> donald trump is criticizing republicans, too. >> but that's what they do. >> they're not criticizing him. he's nicing them. he's mugging them. >> criticism versus insults. then if everybody watches like not -- >> lindsey graham's cell phone. >> i would like someone to give out my cell phone number. then i could get a new cell phone number and

i'm not seeing a lot of new voters come to the gop, but what i think the gop needs to do instead of reallydering to minorities i think that they just need to approach it as a whole and really tout things that appeal to everyone. job creation. job creation is colorless. it's not black or white or latina. everyone needs a job. less regulations. you know whether you're black or white or latina have you ever tried to go apply for a small business? the paperwork, the fees involved. oh my gosh and education. school choice school voucher. that appeals to minorities to latinas, to whites to everyone. so keep touting our message and stop pandering. >> i think the challenge though is that what you're propose something sort of color blind public policy that benefits everybody, but the problem is that black people have particular needs that need to be addressed as black people. in other words, yeah we all want jobs but black people have a particular challenge when it comes to getting a job call back. >> i'm sorry to interrupt but we heard the president say last week in his speech in north carolina, yo

even greater than they otherwise would because imts gop on gop violence? if you will?edia is -- i don't think the media is blowing this up. i think it was an incredibly disgusting incendiary comment by donald trump. but i think the media loves it. i think it is taking away from discussing the failures of the obama administration and the short comings of hillary clinton which is why this is really very sad. >> who do you like in the election so far? >> well you know i love lindsey graham. he is like an uncle to me. i've grown up around him. i'm really coming around to marco rubio at the moment. >> i missed it. who was the other person? >> marco rubio. but there are over 400 days between now ask the election cycle. >> and over 400 candidates on the gop side so it works out well. great to see you. welcome. >> thank you so much. >> i would like to know your thoughts. let me know. facebook.com/the kelly file. critics are sounding off about what they call a new low for the folks in the far left media matters group. as one of the top staffers attacks ann romney about her figh
