your reaction to haley barbour's rather blunt comments. >> if i can speak can did ily.sn't some irrational anger on the part of voters. this is a sincere and profoundly serious discontent with the direction of our country that is justified in every way, so if you look, for instance at one of the trump's big messages, our manufacturing jobs going overseas, americans have every right to want -- this isn't a flipping the bird. this is asking for a change in policy to revitalize middle-class wages. a change in policy on trade, a change in policy on immigration, a change in policy on health care, so these are very real serious policy disagreements, and gop voters and democrats and independents are saying the policies in washington, d.c. have been hollowing out our middle class, and we want to change those, so we can have a better future. >> donald trump had a very impressive night last night. we'll see where it goes down the road next tuesday. there are mo contests including in arizona, in utah. steven miller, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you. >>> a senior polic

we can probably add a few other people besides haley barbour.are meeting a bunch of conservatives, meeting and must intend to talk about a third-party candidate. i don't think it will be anyone really serious. for that matter, ask al gore. foreign policy people who believe this -- that trump does not have the skills to be a foreign-policy president. it is not what we consider the establishment. the concern, far beyond the republican party is really quite broad. charlie: notwithstanding what everybody has said, can you make donald trump has surprised everybody at every stage and he might very well surprise people in a general election? jon: absolutely. i saw some polling that showed the share of the white vote, the general election could allow trump to win eight states obama won in 2012 and give him a majority in the college. that would possibly do it. the reason it would happen is because he is turning up working-class whites. he is training enthusiasm for them. the question is, is there an equal and opposite reaction to that trend? if you havin

crespino: haley barbour has played a huge role. he was anonymously talented. -- enormously talented. he was party chairman in 1996. he was important figure in kind of -- and kind of an important southerner in building the modern gop. and there is lee atwater. he comes out of the political shop of strom thurmond, who has a really huge influence on the gop in the 1980's. he runs the george bush campaign in 1988. i don't talk about barber, because this is about strom thurmond's story and influence. there were coming out of different states, and atwater was barber's age. thurmond was around a long time, 48 years. it is more about the fact that barber is from mississippi. any other questions? >> your criticized by a man in the wall street journal. prof. crespino: i'm glad you brought this up. [laughter] >> his name was lee edwards. prof. crespino: he has written several histories of the conservative movement and has been a member of it, important person to it. i can tell you that, but one thing that did disappoint me about mr. edwards w

it's something, when i came up with haley barbour, it's something he used to say, it's about adding more people, not taking away people. and for republicans to have any chance at all here, we have to take what mitt romney got and we have to add to that and there's different ways to do that, but basically we can't lose any of the voters that we have and have any sort of fighting chance at all. that's the business that the nominee needs to get about. >> stuart, great to see you. >> good to see you. >>> in moments, senator ted cruz will join "the kelly file" to talk tomorrow's primary, his speech tonight on israel and new reports on a v.p. pick. >>> plus, between crazy delegate math and tough contests ahead, it looks increasingly like anything could happen at the republican convention. rnc chairman reince priebus is here to break down what he expects on the road ahead. >> nobody is going to have enough delegates. we are going to go to a convention. it's going to be open. i'm very comfortable with heading to that convention with momentum and more delegates and we'll let the people there make
