joe scarborough saying that they were racist. reverend al sharpton saying they were racist. this is a problem not just for donald trump's campaign but the party itself. we're already seeing down ballot candidates having to go up against potential threats in their own districts. senate races and even republican congressional races that are dealing now with their rivals using donald trump against them. and that is a bigger issue and that goes much farther than just this presidential campaign. and this is very interesting, tamron, because donald trump only two years ago -- i'm sorry, four years ago in 2012 told news max he broke down what happened with mitt romney and he broke down what happened with the gop and why they lost that race. he told news max that it was because they were not nice essentially to immigrants. they weren't being nice to latinos, and this is what he's doing in this campaign right now. he's being accused of that same thing, of stoking this fear among people in this country of the other, of the immigrants, and so it's very interesting to see how he's been

and joe scarborough who has donald trump on his show has been denounced him over the temporary muslimd watching morning joe, when i won the nomination he went rogue and embarrassed to be so high on a republican, i am sure msnbc put tremendous pressure on him and he wants to keep his job. he is very dishonest. well, scarborough told me that this is sad because i was friendly to see him fall off a cliff chasing conspiracy theories and suggest the president is connected with isis and the continued vilification of 1.5 billion muslims is unamerica. he also said that donald trump liked joe's analysis when he predicted donald trump who wins nomination "in the liberal numbers had msnbc had influence they would have asserted it and suggested we not be so far out front in our predictions on donald trump." you can read more of the interview on www. foxnews.com anderson cooper con fronts florida about not backing gay marriage. >> and sharyl attkisson on ethics of retaliation against the media. with the right steps, 80% of recurrent ischemic strokes could be prevented. and i'm doing all i can to h

joe scarborough interview trump many times on his msnbc morning show has recently been denouncing himver his rhetoric and the temporary muslim ban. trump told me he stopped watching morning joe and said this, as soon as i won the nomination, he wasn't essentially to the democrats' side. he won't totally rogue. he was embarrassed to be so high on a republican i'm sure msnbc puts tremendous pressure on him and he wants to keep his job. he's very dishonest in what he's saying. scoreboro told me this is scad for him and mickey brzezinski who had been friendly with trump to see him falling off a cliff, suggesting the president is somehow connected with isis and his continued vilification of 1.5 billion muslims is un-american. the former republican congressman also said trump liked joe's analysis when he predicted donald would win the nomination. quote if the liberal network msnbc had influence on us they certainly would have asserted it and suggested we not be so far out front in our predictions on donald trump. you can read more of my trump interview on foxnews.com. ahead, anderson cooper

he attacked joe scarborough on wednesday and crazy tweets he did on wednesday.he is attacking elizabeth warren. is he not -- every time he does that he is not attacking hillary clinton. the person is he running against is hillary clinton not elizabeth warren and not joe scarborough. from a matter of basic politics, this is a disaster for the republicans if this is he taking his eye off the ball. >> what's interesting is that hillary clinton is also getting involved in the fray. >> yep. >> back and forth yesterday where donald trump said hey, four more years of an obama presidency maybe obama you want that, after the endorsement, but the american people don't, hillary clinton tweeted back rather famously all righty saying delete your account. now, got like 200,000 retweets on that or more. she is getting involved in the fray. this might be good for trump if he brings them down to the twitter war level. >> listen, i think they are going to be very careful about that you are right, right? i don't think the campaign is going to do tit-for-tat, she has already said t

he continued his critique this morning lashing out at former friends, joe scarborough at morning joe, believe the tweet was i don't watch "morning joe," small audience and low ratings, mika has gone wild with hate and joe is joe. they lost their way. i saw them this morning, they have been very generous to you. they're calling it as they see it as each day goes by. does that help him or hurt him when he does something like that? >> well, it helps them because this is donald trump. he is being criticized unfairly he will make sure you know about it. republicans have been dealing with this for a very long time. we have been decades where republicans are constantly criticized in media, whether it is fair or not but they never ever responded. this is mr. trump's way saying look, it is great if you want to criticize me, but at least be fair about it. i saw that interview as well. i was sitting in the green room and i was kind of taken back how mika was fawning over hillary clinton's foreign policy speech which wasn't even a speech about foreign policy. liz: but she has been supportive dona

speeches off teleprompters where he's been tried to be more controlled and right afterwards attacked joe scarboroughrazy tweets and then today elizabeth warren. every time he does that he's attacking elizabeth warren not hillary clinton. think for a matter of basic politics this is a disaster for the republicans if this continues. he's taking his eye off the ball. >> hillary clinton is also getting involved in the fray. there is a back and forth yesterday where donald trump said hey, four more years and obama presidency. maybe obama you want that after the endorsement but the american people don't. and then hillary clinton tweeted back rather famously already saying delete your account. now something like 200,000 retweets on that or more. she's getting involved in the fray. this might be good if she brings them down to the twitter war level. >> i don't think the campaign is going to do tit for tat. she's already said this many times. what they are doing to trump right now is they are running tons of ads in all the important states right now that are going unanswered by the trump campaign. they have

republican governors unhappy with his campaign and here's governor john kasich with my colleague joe scarborough. >> donald trump called me and said can you support me. we're like two companies, different values, different visions. kind of hard to put that together. either there's going to be dramatic change or i can't find my way there. >> when you go out and suggest that american soldiers sold cache from iraq. >> or you imply that maybe the sympathetic is sympathetic to an act of terrorism, those are outrageous things. it's trending all the wrong way. >> trump hud ed with republican governors from new jersey, oklahoma, arizona and tennessee and arkansas. ijoined by the arkansas governor, asa hutchinson who is committed to supporting trump as the republican nominee as president. governor, welcome back to the show, sir. >> thank you, chuck. good to be with you. >> well, you've been tough on donald trump even in the last week, what you were really upset about the attack on the federal judge, and you even said this. i have a daughter-in-law who is of mexican heritage. she is a u.s. citizen and lov

and as joe scarborough mentioned, rather than getting more presidential he's getting worse. >> in someays he does change, though. we dug up an interview, donald trump did with newsmax in 2012 and how republicans lost that election. this is what he said, failing to reach minority voters. this is donald trump, quote, republicans didn't have anything going for them with respect to latinos and with respect to asians." you look at that and what he's saying now about the judge, is he protecting his brand over winning republican votes? >> yeah, well, again, the depth of the cynicism is profound. what does donald trump stand for? are there any issues or ideas? no, this is a campaign about donald trump, his personality, it is about his brand. and that makes it so incredibly unpredictable where he's going to go. he's a man unanchored to any sort of coherent agenda. and whatever he says on any given day, it is only provisional. the expiration on his promises and positions is what, 24 hours. so this bargain that the republican establishment thinks it is making with him that somehow they can contro

you have people like joe scarborough who said his brother was once a trump supporter and now can't think of voting for the guy. so so many things have happened in that span of time to potentially bring in some of the sanders supporters, whether male or female who may have been on the fence about hillary clinton because of trust issues, which show up in the polls all of the time but see, now, the contrast. it is not 17 other republicans. it is one republican and one democrat. >> and there is danger in trying to take a snap shot in time and then apply that to november, right so a lot is going to happen between now and then including a little thing called debates, so a lot could change, but clearly what the clinton campaign doesn't want and this has happened in past elections where you seem to have all of the enthusiasm and new voters come in and then they stay home. bernie sanders can ignite those people who has already proved he can get them excited in what they p want him to do, obviously, is get them excited for hillary clinton. >> and a testament -- >> that is the challenge, though, pe

senator, bill nelson, joins us as well. >> senator nelson, joe scarborough. so good to talk to you. all the dots are connected, it's going to be terrorist inspired, isis inspired, along with the hate crime of anti-gay. either way, it's terrorism. and terrorism is meant to instill fear. and that's where we have to dig down deep and overcome this. go on about our daily lives as americans. that's the best way to respond to this and then pray and grieve with the orlando community. >> senator, what policies do we need to look at, re-examine as we move forward post-paris, post-san bernardino n now, sadly, past orlando? >> well, the fbi, for example, had closed the cases. this guy was not on their radar because the cases were closed. maybe what we ought to do where someone has had a case like that, keep it fresh when they go to buy a gun so that that pops up on the background check. that's one thing we can do. another thing that we can do, of course, the nra isn't going to let this happen. there's no sense to have assault weapons being sold. that's for killing. that's not for hunting. >> y

you have people like joe scarborough who were trump enthusiasts for a long time throughout that process, even mocking people who said they won't support trump. now saying in effect, trump needs to be kicked out of the pub party. martha: he has done a complete 360. >> a huge flip. martha: yeah. >> he is now basically adopting the positions that other people had a couple months ago that he made fun of back then. martha: you know, we could go on about that. i mean it is interesting the things that were potentially outrageous before didn't matter then but this comment about the judge seems to be the catalyst that changed his mine and other people's as well. doesn't change the fact that donald trump won this nomination fair and square with more voters. >> right. martha: 13 plus million voters. put the numbers up on the screen. mitt romney got nine million, 10 million votes of support when he ran for the primaries. trump has 13.4 million. people sit at home watch the show, who cares what john kasich thinks. we voted, we have our nominee. if people want a republican to win they better support

and i was on with joe scarborough, i don't agree with everything he says, but he brags about this beingy of lincoln. when you got to keep referencing the dude on the penny you better update your resume. stop it. everything you enjoy right now, everybody they like now, they hated before. they hated martin luther king. now they pretend, they hated muhammad ali. they didn't like him until he was shaking going up the stairs on the olympics. but they didn't start loving him until he was no longer a threat. you don't get to be a little racist, you don't get to be a little pregnant. if i'm in a car, i commit a crime, the dude in the car with me pretends like he don't know, that ain't going to work. if you know that he's a racist, you are co-racist. simple as that. >> exit question on donald trump. donald trump is in some ways a performer, of course. he was on reality television. >> like a circus clown. >> if you could get in his head, why do you think he's running for president? >> i think he's a vain, egotistical man. all of them have to believe that -- i think that -- barack obama was a bull

mentioned on that never going to be donald trump's vice president list, marco rubio, nikki haley, and joe scarboroughwe want to hear your thoughts this morning on the so-called veep stakes. charlie is in virginia, a democrat. caller: good morning. i think for hillary clinton and -- wouldratic party, be a very good choice because he has been a governor and a mayor. you can't go wrong with him and clinton is president and anything happened, then he could handle the job and i think he is very suited for it. salem.et's go to, in democrat, good morning -- let's emma in a in salem -- am salem, democrat, good morning. caller: i think bernie sanders because what i support is a mental health revolution, and the fact that we need equal health care for everyone, and should never abandon the disabled and it is a disgraceful we are doing with our elderly and our disabled citizens. i would love to see that ticket. can put you think they the hard feelings of the primary aside and that she can pick somebody who has not officially endorsed her yet? i would wish that hillary clinton would talk about the disabled, more

>> daniel henninger channel joe scarborough in the "wall street journal" in his pead, "trump's mad."lsive urge to attack republicans, it's what comes after. politics is about large networks. when donald trump attacks one of these individuals so publicly, the aftershocks radiate outward across connected webs of loyal is and fundraisers. in politics, payback can come from innumerable places and in ways you will never see. against this, donald trump seems to be betting he's the first truly realized media age candidate who will win the presidency because his public persona is more powerful than anyone's normal politics. i won't change, he says. maybe not, but five months from november's election, i think donald trump may be turning himself into a captive inside the cage of his own very familiar persona. . >> i've got to tell you, willie and joe, this is perilous for those who have chosen to blindly get behind him without requiring more, without sitting -- basically and saying to him, i need to know more about what you're going to do. i need some details. again, i point to the conversatio

>> one joe scarborough -- >> wait. >> that's a loaded question. >> that was self-serving. >> politico going to be asked, based on what's happened in the last 48, 72 hours. are you going to retract your endorsement. for tough for them to ask. and they'll be asked that for weeks and months. >> on twitter, it's pretty effective, i have to say. i just retweeted it. >> you spent time with a confident hillary clinton who is glad she's facing trump? >> very excited to be facing trump. >> and says she can even win texas. >> i told her i thought that was overstating it. but being with her on the campaign trail and i was there in the last weeks of april and early may when things were tense between her campaign and bernie sanders' campaign. and part of the story line we heard about her. she's uninspire, not a talented politician. when you see her one on one with supporters. when you see her at events, doing retail politics, the handshaking and remembering people's names. >> how is she? >> phenomenal. the small groups where she talks to individual people about their issues. she connects with them
