what is ralph nader -- >> guest: well, more than that we'd like to have the celebration for the 50th 50th anniversary, and then have a series of events that helps create new groups and helps create and introduce new leaders whose names are not on the evening news. that's really what legacy is all about. not about memory. it's about putting forces in motion that then multiply themselves, like we started the public interest research groups in the '70s and there's over 25 of them now student-funded, full-time staff. scientist, lawyers loy i.s.es, places like madd, new york, california they run referendums and file lawsuits. they're multiplying and that's -- and i like to give people ideas that they put into play. for example, we had a discussion with you on what a great community restaurant would be like and now you have several restaurants which have a book store, they have an event room, with events almost every night artistic poetry, music political, nothing is offlimits and a food store. >> host: that should be added to your public funding. this came out of conversation we had. i re

the most likely is he ends up like ralph nader if you think about the ralph nader candidacy in 2000 that really just took votes away from al gore and flipped a few states. back then new hampshire and florida and handed the election to george w. bush. in this case, donald trump getting 3 or 4% could flip an arizona from red to blue, could flip a texas from red to blue. bottom line like the analysts said, it would change this map to a sea of blue for hillary clinton. >> we're not the only ones gaming this tonight, i suspect p >>. >> no, we're not. >> a lot of people doing the math. >>> an amazing discovery by nasa to tell you about. the space agency found what it's calling earth's cousin, the most similar planet to our own they found and as peter alexander reports, it's generating a lot of excitement about the possibility of life far, far away. >> reporter: home sweet home, earth, this new image from a million miles away, but houston, we may have company. most earth-like planet ever found, its official name keppler 452-b. >> makes me feel like there is a solar system like ours. there is an

ralph nader made george bush president with throw percent. those numbers and that's why he is a nightmare. and why cathy said he has the party over the barrel. that is her description of him. is that the case? >> and the other example is ross perot. bill clinton only got 46 percent of the vote and it killed george bush to have ross perot in the race. when you have someone who takes peels off enough of the republican electorate it is dangerous. some way withes he has the republican party over the barrel, and they know you can't let donald trump define the party. and he has gone in dangerous waters in attacking john mccain. and we'll get new polling, and does it affect him, we'll see? you know they work in the air and we have conversations and they asked about trump and they expressed genuine interest in him in as a candidate. this is what voters this is someone who is resonating and david what is it telling us about the gop field and the republican party over all and voters and what they want? >> and america over all, let's enlarge the discuss

in 2000 ralph nader got less than 3% of the vote and if you talk to people who support al gore they will tell you to this day that nader threw three states and al gore would have been president right now and only had 3% of the vote. so close elections, third-party candidates really matter and, you know you heard mr. trump say i don't want to be a third-party candidate. >> he wants to be a republican. but he has the money to back it up. gloria borger and david aguilar and lou thank you very much. >>> when we come back, the aurora colorado shooting case of james holmes. we have a verdict in phase one. back in a moment. >>> breaking news right now out of colorado where the jury has reached its first verdict in the sentencing phase in the trial of james holmes. let's go to ana cabrera. what have they found? >> james holmes could possibly receive the death penalty. there are three phases of the sentencing hearing, this small trial expected to take about a month. they just finished phase one in which the prosecution had to prove beyond a reasonable doubting a griaggravating factors. what they

ralph nader got 3, 4, 5% in some states that made the difference in george w. bush versus al gore. he can pick up a handful of votes. i agree with david korn. i haven't 11/that very often. >> i'm getting out of here ed. >> won't happen. the thing is i do think the important thing about donald trump is that he is speaking for a large block of grassroot republican voters. >> i think he is too. >> i don't think it's just on immigration reform. i will mildly disagree with lani on this, there are one out of five one out of four republican voters who just want a venter in chief. either the same people who thought obama was a secret muslim. they're fed up and they want a guy, even if they don't agree with what he says, who's going to speak with anger passion to reflect their own anger and passion. that's what he's captured it shows how far to the right the tea party has gone and dragged the republican party with it, the party has exploited those voters now they have to live with them lanny davis i have to ask you, there's a poll out that shows that voters in iowa, virginia and colorado ar

what it reminds me of is ralph nader in 2000 and most democrats think that nader cost al gore the presidencyt think that's any question george makes a relevant point here. he doesn't have a regional base, but he has a national base. i thought after last week's events where he was so harshly critical, unfairly critical of senator mccain that he'd cave, but the sketchy polls -- he's still in this race and somein some cases leading. what he said on the border he's going to win if hispanic vote chris. i don't know where he gets that idea from. univision has him 70 to 20 versus hillary clinton. what you see instead he's damaging the republican brand. i think that's what's going on here. you see a pew poll this week indicates the republicans' favorability rating has gone down in the first six months of the year. i think that's directly tied into the extremism that you're seeing from donald trump and its impact on independent and swing voters. >> well it's interesting. what i talked about with rand paul. some people are trying to grow the party and he seems to be trying to contract it. all right, w

ralph nader to drop a name. what do you do about this threat?do you do if he becomes a third party candidate. >> what's interesting is that you have a lot of discontent in the country. but the democrats, the party is healthy enough to absorb that. our renegade is bernie sanders. he had to come inside to be relevant. the republican party is in such disarray they have so many candidates so many problems that somebody could go outside. this party does not seem to be able to contain and manage. they have that problem to deal with right now. what i think is very very interesting is that you do have a moment in which i think the republicans are under estimating trump. i don't think trump is going away. i don't think he is going to flame out. i don't think asking him a tough policy question will shut him up. i don't think he has any shame. he can not be shamed. i think he's going to be a powerful force. i think he's gaining strength. people are whistling past a graveyard, they think he will go away. he may be the last man standing. he won't get the nom

let's take the case of ralph nader, got a miniscule amount of votes on a national basis.e was the difference in florida. >> right. >> so any time the republicans look around they don't know they can't figure what wine to watch or bark at the moon. >> the ross perot thing i think is fascinating. because when you look at the numbers, he drew evenly from the democratic side and the republican side. there is a lot of interesting data in terms of exit polls, republicans, you are absolutely right, believed that poppy bush would have been reelected if it weren't for him. he was convinced he'd never make it on his own. there is all this fear around the donald trump presidency. here's the question i have specifically about i go es the historical context and the john mccain thing. the reason i believe donald trump isn't going to go away. i'm not a flash in the pan like the beltway says and the republican insiders say, is because i feel he's gaffe proof that i would have thought that saying something like that about john mccain, about a legitimate war hero and a revered republican s

if he runs as an independent, it reminds me of ralph nader. george makes a relevant point. he doesn't have a regional base but a national base. i thought after last week's events where he was so harshly critical of senator mccain that he would cave but according to what we've seen in sketchy polls that have come out since, he's still in this race and in some cases leading. i think he's still around. one of the more ridiculous things he said on the border was he's going to win the hispanic vote. i don't know where he gets that idea from. they have him like 70-20 versus a hillary clinton. what you see instead is he's damaging the republican brand. i think that's what's going on here. you see a poll this week indicating the republican favorability rating has gone down first six months of this year. i think that's directly tied into the kind of extremism that you're seeing from donald trump and its impact on independent and swing voters. >> it's interesting. i talked about that with rand paul. some people trying to grow the party and he seems in some respects to try to contract

i worked for ralph mader and a long-timed a mirier and supporter of nader, so i understand all the obstacles they throw up to essentially lock out anybody who doesn't conform to the democratic or republican mold. but if we see elections as essentially furthering a movement rather than an end in and of themselves -- and this is something we are going to -- sham and i will meeting with others in new york. i'll kick off her campaign rally in seattle on the 6th. and i don't want to run and she doesn't want to run so we got to find some sacrificial lamb. we tried to convince cornel bus the doesn't want to do it. this is where we have to look at current. the secret is building the movement because it's the movements, as howard zen understand, it's the movements none of which achieve formal positions of power that opened up the space in the american democracy, the liberty party that fought slavery the labor movement the civil rights movement and the most powerful political figure in america until he was murdered, assassinated in april 1968, was king because when he went to memphis or went to sell m

>> that was the budget news of the week of the to he runs as an independent it remind me of ralph naderst democrats think he cost al gore the presidency. i don't think there is any question that judicial makes a point here, he does not have a regional bait but a national debate. iment after last week's event where he was unfairly critical of senator john mccain he would cave but according to what we have seen, very sketchy polls, he has not he is in the race and in some cases leading so he is still around. one of the most ridiculous thing is he has the spanish vote, univision has im70 percent to 20 percent versus hillary clinton but he is damaging the respect brand that is what going on, a pew poll indicates the republican favourability rating has gone down the first six months of the year and that is directly tied in to the kind of extremism that you are seeing from donald trump and impact on minute is swing voters. >> he seems to be trying to contract party in some respects. >> secretary of state john kerry goes to capitol hill to try to sale the nuclear deal with iran. the reaction?

the 96,000 votes ralph nader won in the state. al gore about those whether there were 537 likely gore voters in there if nader hadn't been on the ballot. trump wouldn't have to move the needle much to make a real difference in an outcome. and third party candidates don't get elected president of the united states. raises the question if he were to go that route if he was serious about, further raises the question if he is seriously running for president of the united states or up to something else now. >> jeffrey, the rnc, what do you think trump wants them to do? is this reaction to their comment about john mccain in the whack of his comments about john mccain as a war hero? do you think that's what offended him? >> it's possible. i don't know. but that's that's certainly possible. you know, little earlier in the process there were reports that donors were thinking of trying to get the rnc to keep him out of the debate. and, you know, forgive me, anderson. the old eddie murphy movie, beverly hills cop, out of order with the snoot

ralph nader, an amount of votes on a national basis was the difference in florida.e republicans look around they don't know in a phrase they can't figure out whether they are wined or watched or bark at the moon. >> the ross perot thing, you look at the numbers he drew evenly from the democratic side and the republican side. there is interesting data in terms of the exit polls. republicans you are right, believe that bush would have been elected. they convinced that bill clinton needed ross perot and there is this fear around a donald trump presidency. the question i have specifically about i guess the historical context and what we saw around the john mccain thing. the reason i believe donald trump isn't going to go away not a flash in the pan like the beltway says and the republican insiders say is because i feel he is gaffe proof. that i would have thought that saying something like that about john mccain, about a legitimate war hero and a revered senator and the previous nominee that was grabbing the third rail you're dead. it's over. if you can increase your ch

ralph nader had less than 3% of the vote.ee states the democrats still believe that gore would be president. >> that would brand him the biggest loser. >> he doesn't want to be a loser. >> right. i think thatened at the end of the day would keep him away from doing a third-party run. >> it would be a nightmare scenario for the republicans. presumably if he did run as a third-party candidate, he'd take a lot more votes away from the republican nominee than the democratic nominee. >> sure, absolutely. abc news/"washington post" poll that came out this week showed in a head-to-head matchup between hillary clinton and jeb bush for example, hillary clinton would win. but not by a very large margin. donald trump is in that race. it's a three-way race. he gets about 20% of the vote. and it's almost entirely from jeb bush. the republicans know that whether it's bush or somebody is, donald trump knows that which is why i think today when he was asked that question again, he seemed to be leaning a lot more into the fact that he is a re
