lisa, is trump right about halting the gravy train when it comes to defending other nations? >> eric, well, donald trump is not out alone on a ledge here. regarding nato, they reiterated after donald trump made the statements saying, look, relationship between u.s. and europe used to be 50/50, and now it's 70/30 with the united states taking the lead there financially. former defense secretary gates made similar statements in the sense there's only a handful of nato members paying the amount they should. however, i'll say that with a caveat that sometimes things are in the united states military interest, and there's not gain with troops and larger presence in the philippines due to china aggression in the south china sea. >> what do you say? should more pony up more than the minimum they pay and sometimes they are not even paying? >> i think that lisa is right. others have said it, but it's resinates more profoundly coming from the mouth of donald trump. the inevitable gop and contested president of the united states, i think, really hit on a nerve that made people pay attention to

way to get the voters to her camp in november. >> kimberly, an interesting thing i saw on fox was eric trump, trump's son saying, oh, my gosh, this woman can't even beat the socialist. >> that's a great point. this is supposed to be a layout. superdelegates, debbie wasserman schultz saying let sanders run. this wasn't supposed to be a hard fought primary process. this was supposed to be building, keeping her well rested and well funded for the fight at the end. that's not the case. she's still going it. ultimately, she's going to get it, great. she's still dealing with him on a daily basis. donald trump, the rest of them dropped out. he's in a better position. he's already nailed it down. he's going to be the nominee, he's the presumptive. that's what's happening. this is not where they wanted to expend their resources and have a fractured party like this. he has tremendous momentum, supporters and people who are not in love with hillary. when he goes out and says something, it says she is not a great candidate. >> eric, in fact, we have about, you know, 16 or so contests remaining. >> berni

eric trump, donald trump's kid was on air saying how, well, trump's victory in new york shows he can new york in a general elect. some republican always wins new york in the new york primary. that happens he time. george w. bush got more votes in 2000 than donald trump did in 2016 and he still lost new york state by something hike 15 point to al gore. so the national electorate is very different than the republican electorate. donald trump's polling among hispanic is -- he polls -- kennedy: i think you said, your word were among hispanics generally trump polls on slightly better than [bleep] cancer. >> only slightly better. he's 86 net disapproval among hispanics. verien likely to see that happen. he polls terribly among women. they fall back and say, well, trump does well with white men. but he would need to do much better than ronald reagan when there were more white men in the electorate. kennedy: there are two thing republicans hoping to beat hillary hope for and won. the ago on the gop side which has been lopsided compared to democratic turnout, it's bench higher. maybe you will
