when we talk about comments and statements and baggage, hillary clinton has enough baggage that the luggagetry could name a line of suitcases against her. >> was it a racist statement that he made? >> my ear piece fell out. >> you are saying you do not think he is a racist, but is it a racist statement that he made? >> look, it can be interpreted that way. there is no question in my mind about that. that is why i have been asked on the campaign to address issues with him, to keep him focussed on what is important to getting this country on the right track and great again. >> congressman, i know you having issues there. appreciate you joining us. thanks for the time, as always. as we have been talking about this issue of donald trump and charges of racism. there are studies showing a significant portion of trump's backers have what the washington post is calling racial anxieties. >> donald trump finds himself against accused of racism at a time when two new studies one from hamilton college and the other from pugh research center show racial resentment, the study indicates negative opinions

hillary clinton with all of her baggage makes history. put it into context. >> well, as we've been saying over and over again, it is a a milestone in history. people that fought for women, the right to vote in 1920, we've to remember then, we have to remember people like eleanor roosevelt, rosa parks used to fight hard for the women's right to leadership positions in the civil rights movement. you think of people like sandra day o'connor and margaret thacher, and hillary clinton. hillary clinton has sem meantce place in history and her note to the young girls out there, you can be president too, was pitch perfect way to end what was a huge night for her. absolutely destroying bernie sanders in california and new jersey by very large margins. >> and douglas, just one more note on this history making that hillary clinton made history. she comes, she does come with a lot of baggage. people don't trust her. you could see by the polls, she is a distrusted candidate. so how does that go down in history? >> well, she is going to have to improve

this story is a reminder that and of the people on trump clinton's vp shortlist will have some potential liabilities and political baggagechris christie has bridge gate, and tim kaine has this. how is this compared to the likely political problems that come with any running mate choice? if this is the worst thing in tim kaine's vetting file -- if i were him, i would be concerned about, where did this story come from? i don't think "politico" found it on their own. was it from a rival democrat, a republican? i would be concerned. john: i 100% agree with you. not just bridge gate for christie, but other things in his history were problematic for him to be selected by the romney people. i think there are more vetting problems with the people trump is considering than the people clinton is considering. but the knives are out on both sides. republicans are going to try to take out everybody on clinton's shortlist. surprise, theyit do have an explanation for a lot of this stuff. it shows you in this populist age, it is a problem. a few years ago this would not have been a problem, but now it does not look great. we have debate

although barack obama, shirley chisholm, geraldine ferraro, sarah palin, the kind of baggage though that hillary clinton the question marks, for instance, her role in enabling bill clinton ace behavior, her role in subduing or, maybe not listening to women who said they were victims of his behavior, those kind of things haunt her. not all women are with pom-poms this morning, julie. >> you're right. charles: all women, that are probably would have been with different female candidate? >> i don't think that is true. there are a lot of women out there who may not agree with a lot of things that sarah palin stands for on women's issues, but nevertheless i was proud to have woman serve as a republican nominee for vice president back in 2008. i was happy that we finally crossed that threshold for the republican party book in 1984. that was i was 11 years old, i was happy to see that happen with geraldine ferraro. told little girls, regardless of party or regardless hillary clinton herself this is actually an office they can aspire to. they never had the example. it is possible to become the major party nomin

are moving to the general election toward donald trump and hillary clinton as they head into the next phase with their respected baggage. what does each need to do to win over november? let's bring in hailey, a political reporter for "usa today." i guess a couple days ago this was one discussion and now it's another. >> shep, we have what looks to be a dead-even race if you look at the polls, right? but from here on out we are looking at two things, first, how much does the latest carnage of what is going on inside the republican party and donald trump's comments actually hurt him? because up until now he's been teflon. none of the comments in the beginning would lead to the downfall he has. things are looking difficult out in california. it doesn't help with the news organization calling this based on superdelegates and challenging bernie's people, but you can see the numbers start to change depending on those two factors. >> the numbers are like even on both sides like they always have be. it's the sliver in the middle to win american politics. is there anything to show that donald trump is capturing the sliverov or

clinton as one of the most talented politicians ever. but in march 1992, democrats looking at him then didn't see that at all. they saw a dud. they saw a guy with way too much baggage to win in the fall. that's why that connecticut primary was so devastating to bill clinton. it wasn't just that he lost. it's who he lost to. this might sound a little bit weird now but jerry brown in march of 1992 was a total and complete has-been. he had been a rising star in the late 1970s. back then he was young, he was the exciting governor of california. even ran for president in 1976. he did well. he was a phenomenon. but then he started embracing some unusual ideas. ideas that people thought were a little bit out there. a little bit dark. maybe even a little apocalyptic. a columnist gave him the name, nickname that stuck, became one of the most famous nicknames in american politics, "governor moonbeam." that's what they started calling jerry brown. his popularity dropped. he tried running for the senate in california. he lost. he left the country. he lived with buddhist monks in japan. he studied zen buddhism. he moved to calcutta. he was a long way from american politics for

baggage. republicans have never been able to beat the clintons.nly person to beat the clintons was barack obama and going to the left, right, of hillary clinton and i think you saw some of that in his speech, reaching out to bernie sanders, talking about those trade deals. he seems to be trying to get to the left not consistently always on foreign policy, attacking her on libya even though his position has switched back and forth but we'll see. >> the teleprompter suggested this was going to be a controlled speech and his mannerism was controlled but this was the sort of things he was saying and that kind of surprised me. i also think this was lacking in vision. you would think that this occasion we're spend ing a lot f time talking about the significance of secretary clinton becoming the presumptive nominee but he's reached a milestone and i thought this was the big picture evening. that's not the way he played it. >> the real question is how long will he stayed tethered to a teleprom teleprompter. you saw little blips of spontaneousty. you bette

you know, hillary clinton in particular has a lot of baggage from her years in public service. and she wants to draw attention away from that, and the best way to do that is to structure her campaign totally against donald trump and be constantly on attack. and donald trump is largely doing the same to hillary clinton. i mean, his address on monday is going to be all about the clinton scandals. that's why you hear people saying this election is going to be one of the nastiest in recent memory, because both candidates are going to be on fence, and that's -- on offense. charles: you know, sarah, they always say ultimately it comes down to the pocketbook, your wallet, what's in there, what's not. the weakness of this recovery, it's even hard to call it a recovery, has certainly haunted the democratic party and president obama. when are we going to hear more about that, or is this just something that -- i'm sure donald trump's going to harp on it, but how does hillary clinton deal with it? >> it puts her in an uncomfortable position. when you have numbers like this jobs report that

there's so much history, so much baggage many would say in the clinton background and i think it comesd, to whether or not this is a change election. whether or not people are tired of the old which we seen a lot of in the primary as part of this process trump is obviously the candidate of change and what he has to argue throughout this is not what she did in whitewater, not what she did in the white house, it's what is your abilities to lead the country? she failed miserably in the state department on syria, on libya, on ben dossey and obviously made evasive moves on emails, those are things you can challenge her on but at the end of the day he is the guy can go in there, make the tough decisions. he's not a politician and change the way the country moves. she's been a part of the system for almost 4 decades and obviously, your electric get obama for four more years. you let you get a whole new game. martha: he's going to have to be more specific about what that game entails if you want to get people to sit up during that debate and say i get where you are going and maybe i could go t

this story is a reminder that many people on trump and clinton's vp short list will at least have some potential liabilities and some political baggage. newt gingrich, the lobbyist. chris christie, bridgegate. tim kaine has this. my question for you, how does this flap compare to the likely political problems that come with pretty much any running mate choice? >> if this is the worst thing in tim kaine's vetting file, he will be picked. it is a reminder that everyone has this. i think if i was tim kaine, the main thing i would be concerned about is where did this story come from. i don't think politico found it on their own. so the question is, did it come from a rival democrat, did it come from a republican, was it a float by the clinton folks. it's a little concerning. i would be concerned. >> it all depends if there's any other stuff. right now, 100% i agree with you. if you compare not just bridgegate for christie but the things that we reported on that are in his history, that were problematic for him getting selected by romney that gave the romney people second and third pause, right, this is small stake stuff. it is i think --

you can see hillary clinton with 30 years of luggage, baggage she's carrying into this campaign going heard. he's honest in a way a child is honest. he has no experience. he doesn't know how to run a country. you can see how clinton campaign will honey in on that. >> it's trade and jobs, a manufacturing base that is really underpinning all this stuff. trump hammered clpt on it relentlessly. bernie did the same. if there is a vulnerability for her, that's it. plain and simple. >> the side of clinton said it's the economy stupid and also change versus more of the same. that is voters want change and hillary clinton has got to figure out how to deal with that. >>> coming up ben carson dropped out of the presidential race three months ago yet his campaign has more cash right now than donald trump's. dr. carson joins us to talk about that and a lot more straight ahead on "morning joe." . homeowners insurance life insurance automobile insurance i spent 20 years active duty they still refer to me as "gunnery sergeant" when i call being a usaa member because of my service in the military to p

clinton has had a number of years to be involved in the process more than she has been, and i think she has too much baggaged to use those f.b.i. agents to do something other than investigate mrs. clinton. you know, it's a lot of time we wasted on that. we need to get that out of the way and go on and charge her to be done. host: "wall street journal" editorial this morning. islamic state sees itself as the vanguard of a religious movement, moving in a literalist interpretation that it considers binding on all muslims everywhere. a small fraction of muslims agree with that, which is why western law enforcement agencies must pay more attention to what goes on inside mosques than in christian science reading rooms -- host: daniel in california, you agree with the president. tell us why. we lost him. we'll go on to walter. north carolina, you also disagree with the president. good morning. caller: i do not agree with the president. host: ok. aller: september, 1971, i left home after watching my c-span in the morning, and i headed to work. i stopped at my local convenience store to purchase a cup of coffee and
