. >> in the case of trump, i could say maybe things changed, jedidiah. it is very clear now you have a fractured party. no question. >> there is a real question for republican voters now. you see it in the polls. people saying, maybe a traditional gop voter and saying i don't know if i can vote for him or you're a reenergized republican voter or a new voter to the party and saying i can't wait to vote for this guy for president. no matter other becomes the nominee, sorry, the gop nominee. they're going to need every republican vote that they can get. so trying to consolidate at this point would make sense. i don't know if they'll do it. >> so this whole pledge came about because the theory baltimore they were afraid donald trump was not going to be the nominee. but the spoiler by running a third party, diluting the republican vote and have hillary clinton walk in. so they decided it would be jeb or rubio. now everyone is saying, i'm not sure i can handle this, trump's grievances. then when you hear all the horse trading. rules rules, 1237. but then maybe

. >> jedidiah, i saw you on the view today. do you honestly believe him, that if he was going around the world and that's all the world leaders were talking about. if they weren't, he would have to say that? >> he doesn't realize there's bigger problems, the whole world, people suffering with poverty, terrorism, they're all talking about trump. somehow obama doing the wave at a baseball game, that's not embarrassing. donald trump and ted cruz fighting, that's a cause for world humiliation. the president has been an embarrassment on this. when you have our men and women out there, have you the president acting like this, it's a bunch of none sense, he knows that. no one's buying what he's selling. >> we know the logic behind this 37 if you change your plans, it looks like the terrorists have an edge. >> i said if, i'll say it again, i think the white house has got this miscalculated. the obama administration has come out through their correspondents and said, this is us being strong, this is us not letting terrorism dictate what

. >> how about you're sitting next on jedidiah, right?nd you say, jedidiah, there's one armrest here. why do you have to take whole thing? >> do you say that? >> a lot of complainers here. >> they'll just go all day. one more thing is coming up next. and 6 essential nutrients. ever see a peanut take a day off? i don't think so. harness the hardworking power of the peanut. >>> one more thing. yeah. >> as usual, this isn't about sports. this is about the happiest creature you will ever see in your life. let's to go spring training in the field there. check this guy out. look at the face on this dog. this dog, okay. there might be something weird about a guy putting a little dog in a carrier. maybe it is a therapy dog. look how happy that dog is. and he has the best seat in the house. >> and he loves baseball. >> the only problem if he happens to pee on the person in front. >> juan? >> oh happy day. look what came in the mail today. faenlly this book i've been working on forever. i got copies of it and i brought them. greg is helping. the na

jedidiah points out, what was the reason? if you have that much passion for it, put your hat in the ring. you can still get in. you probably won't win but you'll stop donald trump from getting the points he needs. you can get california, a couple other states and trump doesn't get the delegates. but you won't do it. why not? you don't want to look like a third time failed candidate. that's part of the problem. that's why people are so ticked off at d.c. politics and the establishment class. a brand of politics. we're done with it. if you're going to do it, do it. but don't cry about it and take someone down that you're not even running against. >> what about the other people who are behind trump and have to sit here and be call establishment over and over again. >> i think he probably was. what i had was an out of party experience. i sat back and just looked at him. we're witnessing history. parties evolve and this hasn't happened in over 100 years. i also feel like it was a decent speech, well written. speaking for a lot of

author, columnist, jedidiah bila. and pulitzer prize-winning columnist, michael goodwin. have you here. let's start with the acrimony that has filled the campaign trail on the republican side. >> let's see, trump is endorsed by the mafia, the kkk and what have you. [laughter] >> all he's getting is the republican portion of it voting overwhelmingly for him. they are not truthful arguments and not basically slowing him down. there's no question there's battles on the party and all things about him potentiallying the nominee, these are not the things that slow him down. the public that's voting in record numbers today all over the south and other parts of the country are being energized by him and his side. lou: we are all sitting that the table laughing about the remarkable charges against donald trump. the fact of the matter is speaker ryan today, chiming in with his own view on bigotry, carrying the water of the democratic talking points and those of the campaigns of both rubio and cruz. >> with a little help from former running mate, mitt romney. conservatives are waiti
