these are counter to gop orthodoxy.ning, john and christine. the gop civil war is raging on ahead of a big meeting this week between house speaker house ryan and donald trump. here is what donald trump told abc on sunday. >> he wants to meet. he would like to meet. i think we're meeting on thursday. we will see what happens. it is more drama. i think it's a mistake not to do this. we want to bring the party together. does the party have to be together? does it have to be unified? i'm different than everybody that's perhaps ever run for office. >> reporter: the meeting might not heal many wounds. ryan wants trump to adopt more conservative policies. trump said he is willing to support higher taxes on the wealthy in exchange for a deal for democrats to give him a cut in business tax. he is open to a minimum wage increase. although he wants that to come from the states. this is happening against the back drop of a big threat by a trump supporter. the 2008 republican vice presidential nominee sarah palin. palin told cnn she

trump has already proven ts gop has a big enough tent. we have seen this process play out where 75% of republican voters rejected the establishment agenda. he has brought out millions of new voters. he's brought back in reagan democrats and independents and disenfranchised democrats, which is why we're seeing out in swing states that show he's very competitive. >> sheldon adelson is ready to pledge $100 million to donald trump's general election effort against hillary clinton. if it's true and going public with this right now with this news, is that a signal to other gop donors with deep pockets that it's time to go ahead and get on board the trump train? >> absolutely. this is a very clear sign with his support. we are talking about extending barack obama's policies, which have been devastating to the economy. we see what's happening now with government overreach in our public schools. this is just going to be a continuation with hillary clinton not to mention the disaster that occurred under her watch as secretary of state when we see t

strategy should be involved to mobilize them to vote for gop senators.r. ornstein: one of the challenges for mitch mcconnell, the expectation is that would have a robust ticket to run on. they said keep us in power. this is a congress that left without dealing with the zika virus, which is now becoming a potentially huge epidemic in the country, without dealing with puerto rico, which has gone past the deadline for a budget, and is not going to do a budget, which appears to have difficulty doing a single appropriations bill, and has not acted as a congress on the opioid legislation. if they cannot get much done, that is a slender reed for people to run on. mr. olsen: this is unfortunately a party that remains mired in the past, and you will see people moving to a repeat of the 1996 campaign where it appears that dole is going to lose. that would be a way to take advantage of hillary clinton's very high negative, you can have your cake and eat it too, put her in the white house, but don't get her a blank check, vote republican down ballot. ms. bowman: go

strategy should be involved to mobilize them to vote for gop senators. ms. bowman: split ticket. mr. barone: if you're running rob portman's campaign, you talk about his campaign, his legiation against opioid abuse, which is a real problem in parts of ohio and southern ohio. you do what candidates in both parties have done for 40 years when they sense the party is not strong or might be unpopular with significant parts of their electorate. emphasize the specifics of those issues, the character of the candidate, and things of that nature. voters are capable of splitting tickets, they just haven't felt the need to do so lately. but they, you know, given the choices before us, they may -- you know, it is quite possible they will need more, and i do not think they really need the mechanism of a third party, which is not going to be competitive anyway, to bring out voters to vote for down-ballot people. mr. ornstein: one of the challenges for mitch mcconnell, the expectation is that would have a robust ticket to run on. they said keep us in power. this is a c

how much does the gop not want that to be the case? >> well, they are rather desperate, especially in the republican establishment for it just to be over, and when you see these dropping voters, 6% turnout of the eligible voters in new york for that state's primaries, numbers in the 10% range for turnout of eligible voters in the i-95 corridor or primaries. we're not seeing the kind of participation and turnout that we saw at the beginning here. it seems like republicans are sort of through with it. now, indiana can reframe that. they can re-rack this entire campaign in the sense that they say, no, let's keep going. big turnout, big interest, or they could send ted cruz home. >> i think we have a little bit of sound from paul manafort working with the trump campaign. we do not have that, but he's talked about the fact that -- >> i can do it with a sock pup. >> i will play the role of paul manafort and this is what he says, that they have to focus on unifying the party as we head into the home stretch going into the convention, but you

. >> well, let's turn to the gop now where paul ryan say he'll step down from leading the gop convention. will this leave the gop in a total disarray? >> maybe. the issue here is that paul ryan is a favorite of establishment republicans. and the fact that he said he's not willing at this time to endorse donald trump is something that donald trump needs to pay attention to. trump wants to unify the party and he wants to do that now. and the fact that one of the top leaders of the establishment wing of the gop won't back him yet is a real issue for him. >> how is this setting the stage for trump and ryan's face to face set for thursday? >> it's only adding to the intrigue about it and it's obviously something that they're going to discuss. it's the number one topic going on between them right now. >> now, this political scene has been anything but conventional so far this year. any idea on what far-fetched scenarios may be coming realities? >> we might see some kind of contested floor flight on the gop side. there are a number of names running around for donald trump to pick as a vice pres

>> i mean, trump has created a literal split in the gop. you have the speaker of the house on one side and the chair of the gop on the other. >> you don't want on tape, by the way, the words "i couldn't lie, oh, i wouldn't lie anyway." that was a really interesting moment there. and you've got priebus and ryan are good friends from wisconsin. and they're on opposite sides. and i think one of the really striking things is how much trouble donald trump is having being a gracious winner. this morning he put out this tweet, just bashing ryan. paul ryan said, i inherited something special, the republican party, wrong. i didn't inherit it. i won it by millions of voters. now, what does that do? that puts ryan in a terrible position because if he eventually goes along with trump, it looks like he is responding to trump's pressure. he doesn't want to look weak. >> they're supposed to meet this thursday. what do you think's going to happen? >> i think it's going to be very -- i think trump is not making it easy for ryan to come out there and endorse

she tweeted donald trump is the presumptive gop nominee.chip in now if we agree that we can't let him become president. trump and clinton are zeroing in on their party's nominations. both candidates have commanding delegate leads. sanders win added to his delegate total but the vermont senator is close to 800 behind clinton. trump's victory in indiana catapulted his delegate count north of 1,000 and has him less than 200 delegates away from the nomination. candidates on both sides will compete next week in west virginia's primary and contests in oregon this following tuesday. five more states have their way on june 7th, including the delegate rich states of california and new jersey. pamela osborne, nbc 10 news. >> pamela, thanks. >>> with less than three months to go until the democratic national convention in philadelphia, organizers realize you might have questions. they want you to know, they have answers. get them tonight. convention officials are holding a community forum at 5:30 at philadelphia high school for creative and performing

i was wondering if you could try to speak of a bit about how can the gop target these the gop target these split ticket voters the gop target is split to get voters to want to shut it should be involved to kind of mobilize them to vote for gop senators? >> split ticket. >> if you're running rob portman's campaign you talk about his campaign, his legislation against opioid abuse, which is a real problem in parts of ohio, in southern ohio. you talk about his record you do the kinds of things that candidatecandidate s of both parties have done for senate and congress over the last 40 years when they sense that the party is not strong, or maybe unpopular with significant parts of their electorate. you emphasize the specifics of those issues, the character of the candidate and things of that nature. voters are capable of splitting tickets. they just haven't felt the need to do so lately. given the choices before us, it's quite possible they will need more added don't think they really need a mechanism of a third party which is not going to be compared anywhere to bring out voters to vote

i think this cap-- it cements t break up between the gop establishment and the gop base. trump for his part is going to start looking traditional. he will never sound traditional. he is trump. he will start to do traditional things, i asked him tonight, what is happening tomorrow? they will start hiring national positio positions. they have a shockingly lean staff. voters will just further separate away from the g.o.p. establishment. >> the other part of the argument, is to save all the senators now at risk because of trump being at the top of the ticket. save the down ticket. the senate is in serious jeopardy. >> and the house. our coverage will continue on into the evening. >> we are there already. i swear. >>> dpoov. it's a big night for republican politics. the takeover is complete now. it's trump's republican party. ted cruz crashed and burned in indiana today and he announced he's suspending his campaign. >> from the beginning i said i would continue on as long as there was a viable path to victory. tonight i'm sorry to say -- >> no. >> it appears that path has been

he's going to need et gop to mainly be behind him. that means a fractured gop can't be an option. can they bring people over. >> and how is he going to do that, boris? because i think a lot of people in the base have a problem with some of the things that donald trump has proposed, for example, banning all muslims coming into the united states. do you think donald trump is willing to make any concessions in that arena to pull people into his side? >> donald trump said this morning that the proposals he's making are just that, they're proposals and he's here to work with the republican party and the democrats once hopefully elected for the best of this country and to make deals and compromises because that is the only way governing can occur. that's really a breath of fresh air for what we've heard over the last decade now from both sides. we have the gridlock in d.c. that voters are rejecting on both sides of the ail. he has independents in states like michigan, new york, pennsylvania. but also to have the republican party really coalesce around him and make itself a party of tomo

doomed him in the gop primary. more partisan. didn't feel he was republican enough to get the nomination. >> all very interesting, jeff. try to bring in katrina pearson, the trump campaign. katrina, great to have you back on the real story. especially on this big day. i understand that your candidate, mr. trump was giving an interview to "time" magazine when the news came out that kasich was dropping out. he said this. i didn't think that was going to happen. now my focus will be on hillary clinton. what do you have to say about that? >> well, absolutely. we were expecting to go all the way through to the convention in this contest. in fact, we're not doing that now. it is a relief because it is time to turn the focus on hillary clinton. it is time for the party to come together and draw that contrast of what a pro-america agenda looks like versus another four years of barack obama. i think america is going to get on board. >> in another interview that was taped with mr. trump a few moments ago, he was talking abou

we'll break down what this means for the gop. we're not quite done with the rain for tonight and we have to talk about wednesday. i'll have your forecast. a metro bus full of passengers high jacked. people running, hollering. it was just chaos. > tonight, new details about the attack that ended with a pedestrian killed. your news starts right now. let's get right to it, the breaking news, ted cruz is out of the presidential raise. the texas senator formally suspended his campaign tonight following a bitter defeat in the indiana primary. thanks for staying with us, i'm shawn yancy. and i'm tony rk virtually clinched the republican nomination. fox5's sarah simmons starts us off tonight, a big night, sarah. >> yes, tony and shawn. donald trump's candidacy wasn't taken seriously for months. now he is the republican nominee not long after ted cruz announced he is suspending his campaign. cruz vowed to stay into the primary raise until june, but the delegate made it clear to the cruz camp it was time to go. trump still needs 200 delega

jim ai kcosta has more fr trump tower in new york. >> reporter: as he's closing in on clinching the gop nomination, donald trump is assuming more control over the republican party. trump and the rnc announced joint fundraising agreements that's night that will allow the real estate tycoon to raise money for other gop candidates, but trump is still capable of stirring up controversy. the latest example, his comments to reuters that he would speak with north korean leader kim jong-un. those remarks set the stage for a big foreign policy meeting trump will have later today with former secretary of state henry kissinger. the other big headline from the presumptive gop nominee is he's also filed his personal financial disclosure form with the federal election commission. trump says he reported an income of nearly $560 million and a net worth of $10 billion. the clinton campaign responded that trump's pfd is no bfd and that he should release his tax returns. something he says he will do after he is no longer under an audit. boris and christine? >> thanks, jim. >> jo >> joining us now to break

a lot of drama in the gop tonight. what is donald trump saying about it all? >> reporter: he seems to be enjoying the spectacle. they are not sweating inside the trump campaign and donald trump was brushing off attacks from lindsey graham and jeb bush earlier in the day. you heard that donald trump is going right after lindsey graham about the gop race and the disgrace but in a statement earlier in the day he said lindsey graham has zero credibility and went back to his old insults aimed at jeb bush saying he is low energy. it is interesting to look at the contrast between donald trump's attacks on lindsey graham and jeb bush and what he is saying about paul ryan. paul ryan said he is not ready to support donald trump. >> i don't know. he called me two or three weeks ago, a very nice conversation, congratulating me. this was before the ultimate victory. he was congratulating me. i figured routinely he would be behind it and the other day because i had so many endorsements. today a lot of them, bob dole came in, dick cheney came in. many congressmen came in. >>

eisenhower at the gettysburg held a conference to try to improve public outreach for the gop. he wanted to help the gop attract independents, because he had been unhappy with the republican party's poor salesmanship. after all, they had lost the 1960 election to john f. kennedy , and they created a publicity record called "mr. lincoln's party today." the script is in the archives of the eisenhower library and in it, dwight eisenhower, who saw the script and helped plan the publicity record, crossed out some of the original planned wording and wrote these words telling a political philosophy. good republicans have divergent individual beliefs. good so-called conservative republicans, good middle-of-the-road republicans, but they have a shared fundamental principle. he felt the republican party had a wide tent. also, critically important, ronald reagan to be the narrator of this new gop record was perfectly fine with dwight eisenhower. on the record, reagan had introduced eisenhower and eisenhower thanked him. during the record himself, the individual themes of republicanism, in

after trump's decisive win, the rnc chairman trump will be the presumptive gop nominee.he said we all need to unite and focus on defeating hillary clinton. after cruz's loss, he said the math now leaves him no path to victory. >> we gave it everything we've got but the voters chose another path. we are suspending our campaign. >> no! >> you may remember governor john kasich and ted cruz agreed to join forces to defeat trump just last week. his campaign says they're not giving up. a spokesperson with his campaign tweeted directly to the rnc chairman saying they appreciate his hard work for the gop but until someone has a 1,237 delegates, there is no presumptive nominee. he ended that tweet by saying, california, here we come. meantime, ted cruz -- or trump rather praised cruz for taking that step. >> what ted did is really a very brave thing to do and a great thing to do. we want to bring unity to the republican party. >> as trump celebrated his win, democrat bernie sanders acknowledged his upset victory in indiana. >> i understand that secretary clinton thinks that this
