. >>> "outfront" now, kevin madden who served as press secretary. kelly ann conway president of a pro cruz super pac. jeffrey lord who served as little director for reagan. and angela rai and mark preston. kevin, let me start with you. donald trump presumptive nominee. reince priebus is saying his hash tag on twitter is never clinton. do you buy in? is there anything that gets kevin madden on board? >> urging unity is the job of the chairman. i think achieving unity is going to be very difficult right now. i think there are a lot of raw exposed nerves inside the party. and it's -- definitely going to be an uphill climb. i think many committed principled republicans and conservatives believe that donald trump has to earn their vote. and to this point, because of, you know, his departure on many issues or because of how he conducted himself, that he hasn't. so they are going to -- you know, continue to use elements of this -- of the party just not support him and not show up in november. >> but in your phrasing, the question for you, could he earn your

. >>> back with me now to discuss is boris epshteyn and kevin madden. was going through your head when you were watching that? >> if you were to do a political translation of what he said -- >> yes, please. >> in politics maybe means i really want to get to yes. when somebody says maybe i want to be president, maybe i would be considered for a vice presidential ticket, that means they want it. and so -- but i do think that there is -- i think there is a genuine -- he's genuinely struggling with the idea of having his friend there. to the point you were talking about with manu, i think senatorial ambitions are very different from presidential ambitions. >> good point. >> having been there, i think he's much more willing to have his lieutenant governor friend make the decision and he's genuinely struggling with that. >> that's a fair and very important point. kevin, kate bolduan you're wrong is what kev juin just said to m. donald trump is now the president of the draft marco movement. this is the same man who said rubio could not be elected dog catcher i

joining me now to discuss is hilary rosen, kevin madden, and kayl kayleigh mcenany.aign has hired tony debresio. i want to know your reaction. i believe you and hillary both know him and may have worked with him. what's your reaction? >> he is a very highly regarded and very experienced operative. i think one of the signs that, one of the signals that sends to the hillary clinton camp is that donald trump is professionalizing his operation. i think one of the criticisms you've seen from both republicans and democrats is that donald trump is not really running a real campaign and that he's winging it. i think someone like tony febresio, he'll bring a certain level of discipline to the campaign that is much-needed. and if you look at who he's worked for in the past, folks like rick scott and matt bevin. both candidates who worked as outsiders, who were previously businessmen who shook up the status quo. that's exactly the kind of persona donald trump is trying to bring to the presidential race. >> i see you, hillary, nodding in agreement. i won't even ask your response

. >> joining us, a donald trump supporter, a hillary clinton supporter, kevin madden, former romney campaign advisor and press secretary and david g garrig garrigan. kayleigh, donald trump asked about the money he raised for veterans. he attacked reporters. asked about this lawsuit drew was reporting on against trump university and attacked the judge calling him bias and noting mexican heritage. are hard questions off limits for donald trump? >> no, because prior to attacking reporters, he gave reporters what they were asking for. they wanted a dollar for dollar accounting of where the veteran money went and laid out 41 different veteran organizations that received a total of $5.6 million. even laid out the dollar denominations and really, i think he's one of the only candidates that can do exactly what you ask for give an exact accounting, donate himself personally $1 million to veteran funds but still maintain a slew of criticism therefore. there is a lot of media bias and he was very right to call it out the way he did. >> kevin, as you and i know attacking the press rarely hurt as politi

here to discuss, mark preston, cnn contributor bakari sellers, and religion strategist kevin madden. good to have you here. the path, mark, now clear for donald trump. but in a potential matchup, you see it's hillary clinton's, 13%. do you think it's going to remain this way? >> i still think there's a lot of ground that we need to cover before we get to november. look, inherently if you look at the map and you are to believe what the polls are right now and historically, yeah, donald trump has a big hill he needs to climb. but this has been a very unconventional campaign, and politics has been very unconventional not just this year, but you could argue probably in the past decade. >> he says he is a counter puncher. he says his strategy in the primaries was to knock out his opponents, to ridicule and demean them, to knock it out. do you think that's same play book is going to work against hillary clinton? >> i think it's going to work to his advantage. what worked in the primary is constantly being on offense, constantly dictating the tempo of the race and making sure that all of hi

joining us, senior political reporter manu raju, hilary rosen, and kevin madden.nald trump and elizabeth warren? >> if you ask trump supporters, he is, and hillary clinton or bernie sanders supporters, she's winning. the amazing thing is they're a study in contrast in how they approach each one of their base. one of the other interesting things is that both of them are sort of elevating some of their limited appeal. elizabeth warren has a limited appeal with voters to more of a liberal base, which is helping energize some clinton supporters and liberals inside the democratic primary, but one of the big worries that you have to have if you're donald trump is constant depiction of you going after women, whether they're high profile democratic women or like susana martinez in new mexico yesterday. it feeds into that nartive that he is out of step, out of touch. it is a continuing problem he has now and has to focus on fixing if he is going to get into better position. >> you have been doing, manu, a lot of reporting on this. why is senator warren going full speed ahe

joining us now are cnn political commentators ana navarro and kevin madden and plitt director david chalian is the burden on donald trump to unite, try to unify the republican party as paul ryan says or should the party apparatus rally around the new leader, in effect, of the republican party? >> look, the party apparatus is rallying around the nominee, the presumptive nominee. the party apparatus is the rnc, and they've got a structure in place, and they are going to be supporting donald trump. now the question is, individual leaders, individually elected officials, individual activists and donors, and i do think the burden is on donald trump, number one because he's the winner. because he won the nomination. he's the presumptive nominee. it is up to him to be the gracious winner, and reach out to those people that do not feel included in his movement right now. and number two, because he wants to win in november, and the only way you win in november is if you can get to 50% plus one in the different states, and only way you do is if you aggregate people, not exclude people. right now what
