suzannah martinez or nikki haley.ou're not going to get two sitting governors latching on to a campaign unless something goes on at the convention. >> let's get your take on it, juan. >> why would you say that about ted cruz? >> which part? >> you said he would ditch her the minute that he had -- >> he could. >> i don't know where you get that from. because i think he's a man of his word, he said that's his vice presidential pick. >> you're on the trust ted bandwagon? >> well no, but i'm saying, if you saw donald trump say this is my nominee. i wouldn't come out and immediately say, i doubt him. i think he's -- i think you know what, you got to trust people at some level. i think this is his moment. this is his move. let's give it some celebration. but i will say i agree with you, that when it comes to like someone like susanna martinez, nikki haley, joanie ernst, these are republican women that i really think have political experience, they would be tremendous addition to any gop ticket. >> you like them? >> i do. le

and he kicks nikki haley.t saying he is going to win tonight but i do think it would be i think -- let's see if it works. >> information flowing against trump in wisconsin has been bad and continues to be bad, he is not ahead in the polls, he was in south carolina. the polls drive so much of the coverage. >> yeah. >> you know, all the flaps from last week, the fact that cruz has got these endorsements, he's bringing in surrogates and the talk radio thing, day in and day out trump is not winning news cycles. >> are you surprised as badly as trump has performed over the past couple weeks, it has been horrific, that he's only 5 points down in these national polls. are you spiesed by that. >> no, because if you go back to the "saturday night live" i can't believe i'm losing to these guys. cruz and kasich don't bring a ton to this. they have not established huge national following and the national polls show that. trump can slump and still do pretty well in this field. >> there is also the fact if you think about t

i remember with nikki haley when she came out and it was over. and then i won in a landslide. south carolina. it was over. and i have a feeling the same thing's going to happen here because walker has not done a great job. he has not done a good job. he's -- by the way he's okay. you're average, i hate to say it. you look around your surrounding states, you're average. you're not average people, right? so big deal. you've got the governor. the only reason he's doing it, he hates cruz. they all hate cruz. everybody hates cruz. cruz gets up, he says, oh, i'm the only one -- you know with his -- i wish he could talk normally ever once in a while. you ever hear him? i'm the only one that has proven that i can beat donald trump. if we do well here, folks, it's over. if we don't, if we don't, if we don't win here, it's not over. but wouldn't you like to take the credit in wisconsin? for ending it. give wisconsin the credit for ending it. >>> meanwhile, talk of a contested convention has all the republican candidates up in arms. donald trump called the process dishonest saying the po

i want to ask you because governor nikki haley made a fererence to it in the clip we played about costsand you heard her say i don't care if the federal government reimburses my state, we don't want this. i assume you feel the same way? >> absolutely feel the same way. and, plus, okay, and this is typically how the federal government does it. it says we're going to give you money and then you're going to do this. there is no price that they could give us that we would take the prisoners. it makes the place a target for terrorism. it really ups the cost that you're going to have on a long-term basis and also gives you the image that okay, this is the place where we put terrorists. there's no price they could give us that it would be worth doing this, on top of all that, you've got a perfectly safe place to deal with this in guantanamo bay. this is where they ought to stay and be kept. deirdre: so obviously, your ideal solution is simply keeping that prison open and functioning? >> absolutely, and they should. i've toured the prison at guantanamo bay. this is a very safe and secure facili

republican governors are mike pence from indiana, larry hogan from maryland and south carolina's nikki haley, some of the key players to watch. we are seeing presidential candidates trying to court these governors for support, recognizing their popularity. if there's a winner of the nomination for president on the first ballot, one expert says expect the governors to sit there like potted plants but if there is no nominee, that governor will be the most powerful republican to his or her delegation as it looks for guidance. >> i think if donald trump fails to get the 1237 vote majority on the first ballot, you could see delegates from states which voted for trump suddenly be released and going for another candidate and governors like nikki haley of south carolina, pat mccrory of north carolina, tennessee could be influential. in pushing delegates to support another candidate.reporter: if there is chaos in cleveland, those 31 governors could provide some direction. heather? heather: mike emmanuelle in washington. great to see you be on an unbelievable story here. a fitness instructor murdered

you need a woman who -- >> nikki haley that would be interesting. >> you have someone who is a minority who is also a woman. someone who can soften his image and reach more voters. >> i feel the same way as lisa. trump needs to do two things. he needs to bridge the gap for some of the folks that have kind of been turned off by some of his rhetoric through the primary process he finds a woman who is also a minority like susanna martinez who is also a governor. i think that could be helpful. certainly marco rubio could help him get the nomination if he chooses someone like marco rubio someone who helps him with. you can't win as a republican you can't win without going through ohio. kasich has federal and state experience. he would be a great pick. >> clinton's vp picks also because of her negative like ability ratings. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> have a great day. >> isis targeting u.s. government employees at the published 43 names linked to various departments. they have posted on the site dell gram is used by the recruiters to woo youngsters and spread isis propa

marco rubio got nikki haley's endorsement, didn't win there. scott walker seemed to help ted cruz. where does the endorsement help? >> two things, one, personality and popularity of the person doing the endorsement. in the case of wisconsin, the governor scott walker did endorse relatively early, which made a difference. for weeks beforehand, talk radio was pounding on behalf of cruz against trump. the environment was different than the case now. it is more politically benign, not favoring as far as i can tell so much trump or cruz. >> stand by. a lot more to talk about. protesters aren't the only ones trying to stop donald trump. anti-trump pacs are on the air waves in indiana. is this too little too late? >>> also, hillary clinton responds to donald trump's attack, including claim that there's a woman card she's playing. she says she has experience with men that say things like that. >> i'm not going to deal with their temper tantrums, their bullying, their efforts to try to provoke me. he can say whatever he wants to say about me. i could really care less. i take pictures of sun

criticisms about carly fiorina and perhaps in a strange way hurts ted cruz rather than picking nikki haley, the governor of south carolina? >> reporter: you know the trump campaign has already dug stuff up and we'll put it out there. it was when jeb bush, i believe it was, or a couple of other candidates started to back ted cruz, they put out the trump campaign, the social media videos that used the candidates' past statements against ted cruz. you would think that is already coming for carly fiorina. i think it's important to point out a couple things. he's not going to do the same. he thinks this is premature, at least on his end. he thinks it is definitely premature on ted cruz's end, and we'll hear something along those lines from trump. liz: yep, thank you very much. blake burman. the breaking news, we confirmed it now. carly fiorina, who had run as opponent to senator ted cruz will be chosen as ted cruz's running mate. now the gop candidates overall are trying to grab headlines, working hard to do that, including john kasich. let us bring in trent duffy, national communications advis

it's nikki haley, john thune, governor brian sandoval of nevada.f new face that could actually unite the party and maybe actually win an election. that's what we need. >> and you know what, joe, there was a piece in the "wall street journal" that essentially was naming names of the national talk radio personalities, a lot of conservatives believe have been helping donald trump the whole time handmadening his movement to the detriment of the conservative movement. i have problems with what he said, but he says, in fact, americans have often seen such figures, including marcus garvey, henry wallace. he just used to have the good sense to dismiss them. what we haven't seen are the modern day keepers of conservatism developing school girl crushes on the bad boy of the gop class. what do you think about that? >> i'm not one to speak about conservative talk radio, i guess, i'm the antithesis of it when you thing about it, but it's identity radio. and it is very influential. i think what the consultants for the candidates need to understand is that unless

so we have heard everybody's name from scott walker to carly fiorina to nikki haley of south carolinakasich floated here. what's he looking for in a number two to be his vice president? >> i think senator cruz will take a very deliberate approach to this process. this is very, very important, and less so for the election that it is in terms of governing the country going forward. liz: would he go with any of the names? are they on the table? are they considering them? >> i can't raise the curtain on that, this is an important question which our campaign has shown we're focused not only on today but anticipating the events coming up. everything that will happen at the convention from platform to a vice presidential nominee to preparing for the general election to working with the republican national committee, going forward, all of that has to be discussed by a well-organized campaign. liz: ron nehring, great to see you, thank you very much for coming on the show. >> thank you. liz: senator ted cruz national campaign spokesperson for president. stick around for more on the 2016 electio
