the man on donald's left, our right, is eric trump, one of five i children of the donald. however you feel about donald the children are are all right. more than all right. we've known eric for a number of years. >> philanthropic, smart, poised, articulate --? >> all-around great guy. good morning, eric trump. >> you're making me blush. [laughter] >> what's it been huge on the campaign trail? >> it's wild, it's crazy, it's different, it's fun. we have been politicians exactly nine months, and just the learning curve and, you know, the excitement and the stories and going around to all the states, it's just been a blast, but it's so good to be home. it is so good to be home. we've been fighting on everybody else's territory so to be back in new york with our friends and the people we know and love -- >> you and i have a similar problem today. we're both independents, right? >> well, i'm nondeclared. >> okay. i'm an independent. and i don't like to sit any election out. i have is are to say. i didn't realize independents are not allowed to vote -- >> technically, you're not a

guilty. >> as we reported earlier this week, two of donald trump's children won't be able to vote for their own father in new york next tuesday. both eric and ivanka trump are registered to vote but not for a specific party. they can't vote in the closed republican primary. they both missed the dead line to register as republicans in the state by several months. last night ivanka trump whose merged as the campaign's most effective surrogate explained what happened. >> i'm an independent and i've always voted based on the candidate as opposed to the party. we're not a family of politicians. new york has one of the most honorous rules in terms of registration and it required us to register almost close to a year ago. we didn't do that. >> now, an operation that was more on top of it would have probably made sure a candidate's own child could vote for him. here's the thing. voting in new york state is an absolute disaster. here's why. on top of that, the dead lines to change your party affiliation to vote in the closed primary, order registered as a new voter is ridiculously early. ivanka and eric trump were registered to vote but not as r

"outfront" tonight, donald trump's son, eric trump. to see you again. >> good to be here. >> your father said if he's the nominee, he's going to stay, in his words, unpresidential until he wins the general election. even if he's competing against hillary clinton. with unfavorables like those, though, are you telling him that he needs to change his tone? >> no, not at all. if you look at ronald reagan, one of the greatest presidents we've ever had, had massive unfavorables as well. my father is amazing and a great guy. you see the votes. you see what's going to happen tomorrow. we're going to absolutely demolish it in new york. we're going to do so well tomorrow. we're winning every single poll. people are behind him. and he's got incredible energy. and he's already won the majority of the states. i saw cuccinelli on the show two minutes ago. cruz hasn't won a single state, necessary to win the general election. we've won florida. we're going to win new york. we're going to win new york by a lot. we can take states like pennsylvania awa

last question, there are two new yorkers who won't be able to vote for you or ted cruz ivanka and eric trump unable to register because of the rules. are the rules of new york unfair as well? >> no. they had a longtime register and they were, you know, unaware of the rules, and they didn't register in time. so they feel very, very guilty. they feel very guilty. but it's fine. i understand that. i think they have to register a year in advance and they didn't. so eric and ivanka, i guess, won't be voting. >> are you cutting off their allowance? >> yes. no more allowance. >> does that mean, what if you decided to choose ivanka to be your vp if you did get the nomination. does that mean she couldn't become a vice president? >> well, number one i wouldn't be doing that. although a lot of people would like to see that. >> we looked at the numbers. she's 34 right now but she will be 35 and the rules say she has to be 35. >> a lot of people would like that choice. but it won't happen, okay? that i will tell you, it won't happen. >> she has a lot going on. she has three babies to raise. >> she's doin

you'll recall that last month, a similar letter arrived at the home of eric trump on central park south. also donald trump's sister she received a similar letter. this yet another reminder of what a target this campaign has become. >> police were called to trump tower at about 7:40 last night. four people including a police officer were evaluating revealing to be harmless although police have not yet said what it was. as this drama unfold ltd donald trump was in california for a rally in costa mesa. >> hillary -- crooked hillary krookd she's crooked as you can be. >> protests erupted outside. trump supporters clashed with common it stray or toes. orange county sheriff's department reports that about 20 people were arrested. trump appears to have a strangle hold on the nomination. ted cruz will attempt to make a final stands in indiana on tuesday. former house speaker john boehner did not have kind words for cruz, during an appearance university. [inaudible] cruz seemed surprise or to hear what boehner said. : met him two or three tiles in my life. if i have said 50 words to him in my li

eric trump, the son of donald trump just tweeted and said this is one of the greatest acts of desperation i have ever seen. that is from eric trump. your analysis. >> two things. first will let's annize lies the move itself. whether you think it is a bold stroke as a cruz supporter might think, or an act of desperation, it is definitely an interesting move for ted cruz to make, to try to pick a running mate long before he is even close to getting the nomination. he has succeeded, at least for a period of time of changing the conversation, getting the focus back on him and his struggling campaign, especially after last night when donald trump went 5 for 5. that is the actual pick. i think it's interesting. let's see what happens. it is true that if cruz/fiorina win in indiana and win in california, they can stop donald trump from getting the delegates he needs to become the nominee before the convention. that's a tall order. i'm not saying it's going to happen. trump leads in polls in both states. but it is possible and it does change the conversation. now, as for the event itself, i think

trump's campaign. he is saying they're not going to buy by the rules. >> i think it's an open process. eric: you can't smoke, you can't drink whiskey anymore in those smoke-filled rooms. let me play with soundbite. this is trump on hannity talking about the screwed up delegate math. >> in louisiana i won the state and i find out i have less delegates than a guy that i'd be quite easily. and it's unfair. you say what's going on? in all fairness, we are way ahead in delegates but why would somebody that loses have more delegates? they say, this is this way, and i don't care about ways. i won the state. i'm not supposed to have less delegates than the guy i beat. it doesn't work that way. eric: does he have a point? he's a numbers guy, he's a businessman. it's like taking out a mortgage on trump tower and paying more. >> i would remind richard that donald trump has a larger delegate lead over ted cruz and hillary clinton if you only look at pledge delegates as a bernie sanders so this idea that's she's in a better position is part of the spin. eric: we're out of time unfortunately . >> trump i

. >> and this week, the course has run wild, neither eric trump nor i have advantage a trump would beligible or able to vote for their father in the new york primary. last night during a town hall to the gof frontrunner family shared why they won't be voting for dad. >> well, i'm an independent, and i've always voted based on the candidate as opposed to based on the party. and it was actually very interesting experience, we're not a family of politicians where we haven't been in politics very long, new york has one of the most own russ rules in terms of registration. and it required us to register a long time ago, almost close to a year ago. and we didn't do that. we found out about it sort of after the fact. >> they're so rich they just don't even -- it is not on their radar i guess. >> one thing for sure, she makes some pretty nice shoes. >> ya. >> by the way, their dad's primary coming up next week. >> the 19th in new york and the 26th, week later here in pennsylvania. >> and in delaware, yes. >> all right. it is starting to get down to the wire. >> and huge state, big delegate cou
