host: david drucker? mr. drucker: in terms of where you go next, and we touched on this earlier in the conversation, is it the mountain states? is that where you can do the most damage in terms of your opponents? and how much of what you are doing in this campaign do you think could have a lasting effect versus the fact that you have got a chance at attention here because americans think so poorly historically poorly of , the two major nominees? gov. johnson: where is the representation for 43% of america that are registered as independent? i happen to think that bill weld and myself occupy the middle of what has become extreme on both sides. republicans and democrats. look, the scenario here is that you vote for clinton, you vote for trump, congress -- things are going to be more polarized than ever, and let's not kid ourselves, they are going to be. either side winning. what about the scenario of a couple of, well, libertarians winning, a couple of former republican governors serving and heavily blue states

david drucker is with us. errol lewis and selena zito. thank you for being here. as you heard, the implementation of this, you know, working ties being cut, it's more soymbolic than anything. what becominginges the role of united nations? here's what the president-elect tweeted yesterday about the u.n. the united nations has such great potential, but right now it's just a club for people to get together, talk, and have a good time. so sad. what do you make of that? >> yeah, i mean, look, denigrating the united nations is something that you hear from time to time, but the reality is it's still indispensable. it still has a lot of peacekeepers who are doing really good work. you have organizations like unicef that are really important for the world. the united nations is not going to go away just because lindsay graham and donald trump want it to. i think more importantly, when the trump administration comes into power, they're going to find that israel can play its politics and refuse to meet with foreign ministers from senegal and new zealand and so forth and that

david drucker, good to talk with you, monica crowley, thanks for being with us. >> thanks, lou.aking news now, we now know what caused those mysterious sonic booms that were heard all along the new jersey shoreline and part of new york. the navy says it was conducting flight tests of an f-35 c fighter jet over the atlantic ocean that resulted in at least nine big loud, even painful sonic booms. the navy says the tests were routine, the sound effects were not. >>> staying in the air, a danger -- a dancer taking her sport to dangerous new heights. watch as a 19-year-old russian teenager performs her acrobatic dance 14,000 feet in the air over the netherlands. she has 500 jumps under her belt despite only having two years of experience. this is very -- this is elegant. she hopes to win the world championship that will be held in chicago later this year. we will be there after watching this. and a spanish acrobat has one less item on his bucket list as they say. red bull releasing stunning footage of the man paragliding under the northern lights over norway. he was wearing a wet sui

let's discuss with jackie kucinich and david drucker.guy doesn't like what happens at "hamilton." he doesn't like what happens on "snl," and he'll go off for hours about it in detail. but nazis stand up and talk about him, david drucker, and he's anonymous about it. they're mild about it in their pushback, and they always have been. why? >> it's never really made sense to me. you know, trump has an opportunity here and had throughout the campaign to deliver a speech very similar to what barack obama did with reverend jeremiah wright. in that campaign, the way president obama dealt with wright, was to give a very pointed speech in which he not only disavowed wright by name, he disavowed the things that wright had said, the things that wright stood for and was very specific about it. then barack obama never had to talk about it again. and if trump would deliver a similar speech, he would never have to talk about it ever again. it wouldn't cost him an ounce of political capital. his supporters really don't care what he does. but the way tru

host: david drucker with us for the next 45 minutes.f you want to call in, our phones are open across the country. democrats, (202) 748-8000. republicans, (202) 748-8001. independents, (202) 748-8002. what does bernie sanders have to do after two straight losses in nevada and outer lineup to get back into this race -- in nevada and south carolina to get back into this race? guest: bernie sanders is not as strong of a challenger as he might be after new hampshire. the way iowa ended, he practically could've been a jump ball and clinton got the victory, but who knows? that he completely beat her in new hampshire and the pressure was on clinton in nevada. she won by about six points. south carolina, she crushed him. now we get into super tuesday states where she should be a lot stronger. we have seen her vivid to some general election messaging. sanders, yournie want to block that and pull out a surprise victory or hold her really close. when you look at the electoral map and this is what democrats have been telling me a well back before t

david drucker on the undecideds know -- that is so important today? guest: 40% of people could change their mind. donald trump supporters could change their mind the least of anybody care one thing he has had is that once he locks in a voter, they tend to stick tougher than any other candidate. we know marco rubio has done a the job of winning latebreaking, undecided voters. we know ted cruz has had a good eighth of support. dynamic ofs has the the race really changed over the past four or five days as rubio and crews and a lot of other republicans -- and ted cruz and a lot of other republicans, started to shine a light on the kinds of things in his past that might get voters to reconsider why they like him. it may be too little, too late. i think we will see the campaign continue in the middle of florida, in the middle of march, through the florida primary. we will see if any of it works. -- don't trump on policy, but nobody really went after him as not eating the champion of the little guy the way he portrays pair we will see if the latebreaking mon

melissa: david drucker, what do you think? >> i think the worst possible outcome was an indictment, that didn't happen. the best possible outcome was exoneration, that clearly didn't happen. she has a challenge. this is a hit to a problem she has. trustworthiness and honesty. what she has is an opponent equally flawed in the campaign, and unclear if he'll take advantage of this, the same way another republican would have had they won the nomination. melissa: dan, you look at the day today, there she is on the side standing next to the president of the united states, after you know she's been cleared, more or less. he talked about the things she did but ended the speech saying they were not going to recommend indictment because they didn't think prosecutors would be able to win the case. it seems like a spike the football day for hillary clinton. >> i guess so, melissa. are we sure barack obama isn't running for president again. he certainly sounded like he's running for president. in a way he's running for a third term in the

let's bring in david drucker senior political correspondent for the "washington examiner." vid, there are obviously many presidential contenders who made up more ground than this over period of six months. >> that's correct. if you're trying to game out the progress of this race as it unfolds i wouldn't really worry too much about the horse race at this point. i look at favorable numbers for each candidate, particularly with key demographic groups. part of the reason for that we're not running a national election that is decided strictly on the popular vote. we're running to win states. that means you have to win states where key demographics are important. so if you're going to win nevada, going to win colorado, two swing states you have to do well with hispanics and other ethnic minorities n colorado and virginia, and in states like ohio, in florida, you have to do well with suburban voters. in some of these states, particularly suburban female voters. we know right now hillary clinton sun popular but that donald trump is more unpopular than her, particularly with women an

david drucker, thank you so much. david?id: meanwhile booed off the stage, ted cruz drawing a line in the sand, possibly uniting the grand ol' party. what we can expect from "the donald" tonight. david: ted cruz igniting ire of former -- delegates and former supporters by failing to explicitly endorse donald trump. >> we're not fighting for one particular candidate or one campaign but because each of us wants to be able to tell our kids and grandkids, our own carolinas, that we did our best for their it future and our country. david: but the failure to endorse explicitly trump last nightstands in stark contrast to a stance he made earlier. >> yes or no, will you support donald trump if he is the nominee? >> yes. i gave my word that i would. what i endeavored every day in the senate to do what i said i would david: has cruz lost his place as conservative leader and helped mike pence and other conservatives unite around donald trump? with us to talk about this is karl rove. karl, first of all, do you think that donald trump ki

. >> let me go to david drucker on that. the decision to bring clinton into the campaign was interesting. to do it in the beginning of the year. was it considered to be a helpful, bringing a bit of joy to the campaign? clinton is a happy warrior. hillary is more of a trudge, not as delightful as bill clinton is as a campaigner. was it to bring joy into the campaign? if so, is that going to work? >> bill clinton is one of the more natural communicators and happy, quite frankly, talented campaigners we've seen. hillary isn't very good at it. you bring bill clinton in now because you want to check the box and not take the primary for granted. if she can use bill clinton properly, and it's delicate because he's not just the ex-president, he's her husband, then he can be a major asset. it is dicey because she wants to be her own person. this is where the first spout to be a former president. it's tricky for her than when he ran. remember that famous line, two for the price of one. he had to make clear, i'm the only president. it'

joining us now, david drucker, senior political correspondent washington examiner. david, let's with the democratic race. there has been talk in the last month or two that bernie sanders was really going to get hillary clinton a run for her money, that this was not going to be a coronation on the democratic side. as that narrative changed? >> i don't know if it's completely changed and it was clear after iowa and new hampshire that bernie sanders was giving hillary clinton a run for her money. nevada and south carolina look a lot better for clinton and heading into super tuesday she looks like she is a relatively good shape so it's possible the democratic race could be wrapped up a lot quicker than a lot of us thought. jon: could happen as soon as tomorrow? will she potentially run out with so many delegates that it would be mathematically impossible for him to catch her? >> i'm not sure about that and bernie sanders still has a loyal following. he's raising a lot of money but i think one of the things clinton needed to do given the dynamics of her race with senator

david drucker is senior correspondent for the washington examiner. my guest today.donald trump said that he could shoot in new york city and blah, blah, blah. and then you have ted cruz who had this video when he was 18 years old. it's very interesting to see him at a young age talking about world domination and such. does this change the scope of anything when these new tidbits come about? >> not really. news flash, 20 years ago, somebody cracked a joke. it is a not going to change what people think about ted cruz. if you don't like him, maybe you will like him less than you already do. but big deal. if you like him it's not going to mean a thing. and donald trump i think was right. in fact, i can't think of with you thing donald trump could do to scare away his most ardent supporters. whatever he might do to people, and we are dealing with this hypothetical joke. >> let's look at how the relationship is now working between ted cruz and touch. cruz sending out a fund-raising mail still calling donald trump a friend. and he says this, you see, when i first announced

coming up tomorrow morning, david drucker from the washington examiner will join us to talk about super, the all, the candidates, what the results could mean for the election. an irs taxpayer advocate will take your calls and questions about filing options and this year's tax topics. watch "washington journal" live beginning at 7:00 a.m. eastern, tomorrow morning. join the discussion. >> c-span student can't admin or contrast needs your vote. we selected the top five student videos and now you can select the fan favorite. watch the top five student videos and cast your vote online at student cam.org. the student documentary with the was votes will win a prize of 500 dollars. the fan favorite winner along with the winners of this years student cam competition will be announced on march 9, live on c-span. >> senate minority leader harry reid criticized charles grassley about his opposition to a supreme court nominee on the senate floor. next, we hear from senator reid followed by senator grassley's response. response. this is half an hour. >> the democratic leader. >> history will not for

jon: joining us now, david drucker, political correspondent for the washington examiner. if he's wearing his rose-colored glasses i suppose he may be able to look at those numbers and see a way to eat out avictory but it doesn't look likely for senator marco rubio in florida. those are likely gop voters in the coming primaries . >> look, whenever a candidate is trying to fight an uphill battle and come from behind and when you can't think you might lose because it could have an impact on your voters and whether or not people should turn out or bother voting for you. i can't fault the candidate are trying to stay positive. i think rubio is fighting through some of the worst negative momentum i can recall seeing for a candidate ever and that's what's making a lot of this so difficult. he's had a string of losses in primaries and some he came up real short and was close to doing something good, was close to winning. in others he got trounced. he'd come away with no delegates in the last round of voting and it's hard to come back from that but we will see what happens on tues

joe trippe, mercedes schlapp, david drucker are back with us.ly rich people like the clintons and the trumps do very straightforward estate planning to shelter themselves from the inheritance tax. no way the trumps will pay the inheritance tax and neither are the clintons. >> that's right. melissa: it is about people who basspass down small family businesses or where am i going on that. >> clear impact on family-owned businesses many times they don't even have liquid cash. say the owner dies, they have to pay this 45% death tax. and they don't have the money to pay for it. so what do they have to do? they have to sell their assets and sell their business. melissa, it's a huge impact on these family-owned businesses. at the end when you look at it, the actual revenue the federal government is getting from the death tax is minimal, compared to see what we get in terms of economic growth, eliminate the death tax, you're talking about $46 billion that you would accumulate in the next 10 years. it would generate jobs. so i think that, i think that cl

david: david drucker, "washington examiner." thank you. >> thanks, david. david: melissa. melissa: on other side of the aisle bernie sanders says there will be a contested democratic convention. he said it will be virtually impossible for hillary clinton to win majority of regular delegates, he is not giving up without a fight. >> there are 10 states left. and we have to earn over 50% of those delegates. that is what the importance of indiana is. [cheers and applause] and we're going to fight as hard as we can for every vote. david: her opponent, hillary clinton is in coal country today, choosing to campaign in kentucky and west virginia in she is on her way to west virginia. a lot of folks turned out here to give her an earful about what she thinks about coal companies and coal jobs. she tried to clean that up. she is in favor of putting people back to work. she is in favor of coal mining and should continue on. but she has been trying to walk a fine line if you will. making segue to green energy and future energy jobs. a lot of folks turn out for her visit. they want to

gregory, "washington post" correspondent abby phillips, and host of "examining politics" podcast, david drucker. great to have all of you. what are we expecting tonight from the next installment in north carolina of the thank you tour? >> hooray for me i think is probably what donald trump is going to say again. it's extraordinary but not totally unusual. i think we've talked about any politician, any president loves to get out of washington. i think he's got particular skills to be able to do it. i think he's going to be doing a lot of it. abby's going to be covering the white house. i don't think he's going to be at the white house a lot. i don't think that's his favorite venue. >> this is the best part. this is the part of the whole thing he loves the most. we're going see him just -- i mean, the other day one of his advisers basically described his rallies as like russian roulette. you never know what you're going to get. that's part of the charm. he loves keeping it that way, unpredictable. i have no idea what's going to happen tonight. >> well, we have a couple good suggestions. he's got

stoddard, associate editor and columnist at the hill, david drucker's senior political correspondent at the washington examiner. hillary clinton has been campaigning hard in kentucky. i guess that is some signal of the states of this race? >> yeah, senator sanders 110 of the last 12 contest and she's hoping to put it away today but i really think if you look at the issues here, with bernie sanders voters and how resistant they are to hillary clinton if she has a nice win in kentucky i don't know if she can still race tomorrow. she still has a bernie sanders problem with a portion of the little liberal part of the party that really doesn't want to warm up a to her in the fall. on the issue of trade, they will bevoting for trump . jon: bernie sanders is claiming the system is rigged on the democratic side . how's he doing with that argument? >> i don't think it's going to matter. hillary clinton will end up winning this nomination, it's just taking her longer than she wanted which is a potential problem down the line. the system is designed for the democratic party totry and nominate t

let's ask david drucker, senior correspondent for "the washington examiner." a lot to cover so let's get right to it. >> all right. >> if trump is the candidate and likely to win most states on super tuesday is that an automatic kill switch for cruz or rubio or will there still be air in their tires? >> there might be air in their tires because delegates are awarded proportionally and it's not winner take all and as long as money rolls into their campaign and supporters don't give up to them. march 15 is winner take all in florida, that's crucial for rubio and cruz needs to win texas i think/tuesday. even though it's proportional delegates not winning your home state is a real problem. >> march 15 is the florida primary. let's take a look at a real clear politics average in florida. trump with the lead with 40.3% and rubio with 20.8%, trailing trump by 19.1 points so is florida do or die for florida. >> well, i think anybody in this situation, your home state is in a sense do or die in terms of keeping money rolling in and enthusiasm behind the candidacy espec

you don't want to do it by selling access to the president. >> david drucker, very quick thought. >> this is one of my favorite games. what if clinton did. trump, of course, was quick to point out and call it pay to play. it's all a sham and everybody knows that trump's kids are not just his kids. they're grown adults, number one. number two, among his key advisors. his closeste advisoradvisors. people want access to the president and try to sell it as otherwise is just disingenuous. >> thank you very much. >>> coming up, we are monitoring two big breaking stories. the suspected christmas market terrorist has been killed in a shootout in milan. we'll tell you what happened and how police finally zeroed in on him. >>> then we are watching this apparent plane hijacking. a plane leaving malta, it's been diverted to malta. >> a libyan flight was diverted by hijackers. >> on the tarmac in malta. we'll tell you about what we know is happening on that plane, next. crest complete presents sugar shield sugar is everywhere and crest complete has a sugar shield to protect teeth from sugar found

and now, welcome in kirsten p powers and david drucker for the "washington examiner" and, okay, steve? >> what a night and debate. and marco rubio after the stumbles last week, and in j general, an okay debate, but memorable stumbles where where he sounded robotic and played in a loop on cable television. and he needed the debate of his life, and he needed it. he was clear and -- >> people are right in. you are in the tank for rubio, and what is the deal? the debate of the life? >> well, clearly the best debate on the stage tonight. he was one of the better performance, and i was down in florida with him when i saw him do the debates in 2010. and yes, to be specific about it, he gave a great answer on national security to start with in the space of a minute and talked about asia and the middle east and the need to rebuild the defenses. and he took a tough question from kim strossel on child tax policy, and in a way that the liberals would like. and he said, look, it is their money. he fought ted cruz on immigration to a draw as charles krauthammer said. he jumped in to defend presiden

david drucker of "washington examiner," noelle nikpour, gop fund-raiser. i will start with you.p ahead. everybody is trying to do the math ahead of these candidates out there. if he does win pennsylvania and new york, where do we stand? >> he stands a pretty darn good chance, melissa, because if he can manage to pull it off and wins pennsylvania and wins new york, wins them big it is on to california. california will be a little tricky because ted cruz has already gotten his ground game going and it is already been proven that ted cruz has a very food and very professional ground game and ground team. as for trump, basically just started his. that is not to say that its all over but it is to say that you know, looking at delegates and looking ad the ground game ted cruz has a little bit of an advantage. melissa: hadley, if you look ahead, especially look what happened in colorado, the way that ted cruz, no matter how you slice it, had to do with having on a effective ground game in the area, that he was able to sew the whole thing up without a popular vote happening. he had peop

steve: let me turn to david drucker of the "washington examiner." david: i was hoping you could talk to us a little bit about some of the metrics of your campaign. there has definitely been more attention given to your campaign, given the circumstances, than is normally paid to a third party. can you talk to us about your fundraising, where it is at? talk to us about your campaign organization, where is that at? and also, where are we going to find you the most? when we look at states around the country where do you think , you will do the most damage to try to score some upset victories and possibly surprise people? gov. johnson: we think that by being in the presidential -- neither of us, bill weld or myself, former republican governors, reelected in heavily democratic states, we think that if we are in the presidential debate, anything is possible. and we do believe that is a very real possibility. looking at the western states, you could look at utah, wyoming, nevada, montana, idaho, the dakotas, alaska. on the east side, bill weld have a list of

we'll talk about david drucker. and in past years, david, party conventions are a rubber stamping of the nominee. this is the year in which there could be business to be done at the republican convention and donald trump wants a show biz kind of convention. >> there is a lot of business every four years and we you and i focus on t coronation of a nominee that is decided. and normally the nominee runs the convention and the theme goes to what the nominee wants and when they speak and everybody argues over who gets the coveted prime:. and chairman reince priebus and his staff are planning out a cop vention in -- convention and they are in charge and they will decide who speaks and when they hold the nomination floor votes and whether or not we could see if the comination -- nomination is contested. it will likely be be in prime time and up to the committee to decide. >> donald trump goes to cleveland with the majority of delegates, he is have a huge voice in how the convention is prapted. will priebus do that? >> no. i

jon: joining us with analysis is steve hayes of the weekly standard and fox news contributor, david drucker is senior political correspondent for the washington examiner. welcome. you heard that exchange about the results of the election and donald trump's position on it. what do you think? >> it will make supporters happy but he flubbed it. all he has to say is of course i will honor the result of the election, i am a law and order candidate. trying to bring law and order back to this country. instead he was trump. utterly predictable but distracted from other good moments he had and the kind of thing that becomes the talk of the debate. another 2000 situation like george w. bush and al gore, nobody in that situation will be expected to concede because they are a couple of votes behind can you cross that bridge when you come to it, you don't say in advance as he has said for days and days, the question from chris wallace, will you accept the results of the election? jon: you filed an article that said trump lost the debate with that answer. >> i think he did. he had a good start to the deb

it makes things a lot simpler. >> david drucker? >> in terms of where you go next, and we touched on this earlier in the conversation, is it the mountain states? is that where you can do the most damage in terms of your opponents? and how much of what you are doing in this campaign do you think could have a lasting effect versus the fact that you have got a chance at attention here because americans think so historically poorly of the two major party nominees? gov. johnson: where is the representation for 43% of america that are registered as independent? i happen to think that bill weld and myself occupy the middle of what has become extreme on both sides. republicans and democrats. look, the scenario here is that if you vote for clinton, you vote for trump, congress -- things are going to be more polarized than ever and let's not kid ourselves, they are going to be. either side winning. what about the scenario of libertarians winning? a couple of former republican governors serving and heavily blue states hiring libertarians, repu

david drucker, a senior political correspondent for "the washington examiner," fill us in on what weongress goes back to work, and what we won't see happen. >> not much. it's a tight election, what you'll see is a lot of messaging bills. both parties will try and drive home their election day message. we'll have early voting start in the next couple of days. early voting will get started soon after. the election is going to overshadow everything. one thing they have to deal with is spending by september. democrats don't have any incentive to give republicans a long term deal, figuring they hope to take over the white house and the senate. republicans for their own part don't want to get involved in any sort of shutdown situation. so everybody's going to basically operate, laura, in a get out of town, real easy kind of a mode. the only thing i think we could see is a deal on zika funding, just because that's front and center and it's a florida, and that's a huge state. >> i was going to ask you, a lot has changed in the fight against zika since congress met over a month and a half ago

david drucker and josh cull shire political editor of the national journal. josh, obviously democrats want the issue put to bed. and republicans say there is a lot of questions yet to be answered. what did we learn from the fbi's testimony. >> we learned that the issue is not going away and inconsistency and they didn't follow-up with the key players that they gave immunity to it. and they department follow-up in the inconsistency. it is shaping up to look political on the fbi's part and the fact they are releasing the reports late on friday afternoon, that's what political campaigns do and not what the fbi does. and the fact that we learned from the recent report that president obama had been communicating under a sued noismine though they learned about the server from a new's report. it raises a lot of questions and a the lot of smoke and no answers are forth coming. >> is there going to be done about it if there is all of the smoke that josh just mentioned, it is case closed isn't it >> the fbi closed the investigation and left it upon up to the justice de

david drucker has been reporting on the meetings in cleveland and he's here to help us break it all down. first of all, david, thanks so much for joining us. i want to play a sound light when donald trump sat down with bret baier on thursday. take a listen. >> when you look at the platform right now, the platform is a large platform. >> it's more socially conservative than the campaign. >> if you look at trade and you look at the wall and you look at the borders and all the things, i mean a few people have said it's like a donald trump speech. i think the platform is very good. do i agree with everything? nobody ever has. >> a couple of things. he seems to be saying there's not much difference between the party platform and the donald trump platform. agree or disagree? >> well, i don't think it's quite accurate but it's fine for donald trump to characterize it that way. there were key changes where trump was closer like on immigration and trade. but i think that most of the issues that the platform dealt with were largely left alone and represent more traditional. they were emphasizing t

host: david drucker with "the washington examiner."ou can go to his website for more information at washington examiner.com. thank you. to open phones in the first collar is ann. thanks for waiting. caller: i have several things on my mind. i hear the republicans constantly say we are voting on our principles. i have never seen any principles there. i know i'm speaking a different -- aret what articles there principles? hillarytrump can call look at hillary, what does that based on? she has been called up forever and accused of everything. i think the christian right about abortion, i've never had one. and i am 80 years old. birth controla pill, what are you doing but a boarding a child? aborting aing child? we need to look where we are standing could we are i. we are in this iraq war because the republicans. they will not let a transportation bill go through so people can get jobs. i've seen people work in fields for two dollars a day and it was fine that they could work for that. it was never anything about immigration or anything el

charles hurt, julie pace, and david drucker. let's get right to the question that's on everybody's minds from the get-go. indictment or no, charlie, we'll start with you. >> if you had asked me this six months ago, i would said there's no way she doesn't get indicted and joe biden was waiting in the wings. i have no idea what to think at this point. but what we saw over the weekend is exactly why she has such a dramatic credibility problem. when she takes something like this, where she is interviewed for 3 1/2 hours by the fbi and calls it an opportunity to she's been inviting for six months, this is why nobody believes what she says. >> i'm also unclear on whether she's going to be indicted or not. but to charles's point, even if she's not indicted, she's going to have so many people that believe she did something if not illegal, something that's wrong. and they don't trust her and they don't trust the idea that the clintons in power would try to use the system to their advantage. and the bill clinton/loretta lynch meeting is j

david drucker. thank you all. let's start with halle. it seems to be a paper bag you have to bang your way out of if you're ted cruz on this constitutional eligibility issue. i'm looking at polls thinking a third of republican voters think there's a problem there. how does he get out of that without sounding very defensive? i'm an american, darn it. what is he supposed to say? >> by pivoting, chris, frankly, to more attacks on donald trump and highlighting what he and his campaign believe are the lack of conservative credentials that trump has. that's what cruz does every time you ask him about this. he believes this is a settled matter. he immediately turns to attacks on donald trump's policy. not personality, as he would be the if irs to tell you. he said today he likes donald trump. he think he's bold, brash, and has energized the electorate. but he's hit trump on 15 different policy topics just in the past week. >> ted cruz's constitutional law keeps racking at him. how does he deal with that? >> ted cruz tries to make it, as trump i

. >> david drucker, senior correspondent for "the washington examiner." his meeting happened yesterday and i think it is interesting because it is really complicated within the republican party right now. some people stood up and said, you know, look, speaker ryan. you're putting us in a hard spot because you are not endorsing trump. then others stood up and said, look, speaker ryan, you're really putting us in a tough spot because you might endorse him. is that how you see this thing? >> well, look. i think that what speaker ryan is trying to do is preserve his power as speaker of the house and send trump a message that he can't be taken for granted, especially if trump becomes president because all president expects members of congress from their own party to go along to get along and do what they say. because particularly there were such strong areas of policy disagreement between conservative republicans as identified by republicans like speaker ryan, versus trump's more populist approach, they need to find a way to understand each other that they have

. >> all right, reporter for the washington post, and correspondent, and david drucker, quickly we'll run through it. let's talk about the burbs around philadelphia, which i really do think if you just go to pennsylvania and score that for the next six months you will know who is going to win. trump does what? how is he doing, according to the report on the suburban moderate republicans? >> the democrats already knew he was doing better than they would like in pennsylvania, but what woried them since the primary, moderate republicans they thought would be screaming and running from trump. they have not. he does what seems popular. he is playing with people that have given up on republicans for those reasons, they like the businessman quality and like what we call straight talk. >> he is playing the general election game right now. one thing we know that in the philadelphia area they have had problems with manufacturing, like many other urban cities have. and he is talking about he is not for this trade deal. he is not for trade. but then he is also talking about raising the minimum wa

let's get the bottom line from our senior congressional correspondent, david drucker.e's probably doing it because he feels he doesn't have to. here's some things. i'll get your response. the world was gloomy before i won. there was no hope. the market is up nearly 10% and christmas spending is over $1 trillion. then he said, i saved the auto industry and i killed bin laden. that was partly sarcasm. still, he's going around the media. maybe he doesn't feel he has to hold a press conference. >> right. he has a daily tweet conference. that's in place of a press conference. it's interesting, right, because when donald trump started in his campaign he talked to every show, every single day. >> nine interviews i think. >> without reservation. >> only on his terms. he would call in. >> i sat down with him a couple of times. >> don lemon has sat down. >> i never talked to the guy, but if you're -- if you have watched the evolution, he's gone from doing all of the mainstream media programs on sundays, granted in his bathroom on the telephone, but he was on every week, to gener
