rick wiley out, big deal? >> paul manafort was brought in, and each has a camp. nk wiley was part of the manafort campaign, he roughshod people on and trump made a decision. key is -- he ran walker's campaign, and political director of the rnc. as we're now moving to the rncr which isn't a good idea, he was a guy who knew all the players. >> i thought paul manafort was the guy in charge. >> i'm not sure of that. he has the title but he run the washington operation and the convention and corey runs everything else. corey is the guy that's basically closest to trump. trump is very loyal to his people and trump has people very loyal to him. >> corey lewandowski. how do you see it? >> it's both a good sign and a bad sign. it's always good when you have that kind of friction between two different factions in a campaign to kind of, like, shove one of them -- for the candidate to make a decision, be decisive and move things away. on the other hand, this was somebody who actually understood how a national campaign needs to run and a lot of the mechanics and operatives in

let's start with the rick wiley issue first.t does this reveal about what's going on inside the campaign right now? >> look, i think anytime you have a organization this large moving into the general election, it's inevitable that you're going to have some staff changes from time to time. the bottom line is donald trump has a battle-tested, very loyal campaign staff. there's always been one person in control of his campaign, the same person that was in control on day one is in control now, and that's donald trump. he's the leader of his campaign, and he's looking for loyal staff members, and he's got a very great team, campaign manager corey lewandowski, paul manafort, he's got a season, battle-tested team, and he's doing extremely well in the polls, and he's going to stick by the guys that have been with him. martha: so the story that came out was that kara your know wasn't happy and that she, you know, that trump said to her, what's going on, you know? wanted to speak to her personally. and when she explained to him what her f

rick wiley, a big political figure in republican circles, has moved into that orbit.ll be hiring a bunch of people that are professionals and have never been part of trump's world before. this is another sign that this is happening. the running mate question is another thing. there's a huge political component to that. that is about sending a huge signal to the american voters and the republican party of how you make the first and most important big decision you make as nominee. that's why it gets so much attention. we don't know what trump is going to do. he's indicating he will either pick someone -- the choice seems to be between an elected official, a professional politician -- he is signaling that he is considering that seriously. there's another school of wants to picke someone who is national security experience, because he doesn't. carol: it's interesting. thank you. you can catch john weeknights at 5:00 p.m. eastern on bloomberg's "with all due respect." julie hyman has a look at the retailers. julie: we are looking at the retail etf, which is falling among t

that is very important for the trump people to understand -- look, i know paul manafort, i know rick wiley. they are very smart, man fort is sometimes brilliant is that we have a large chunk of the republican voters -- not the establishment, voters across the country that are fairly negative to trump. >> what is the point of people saying that? i've got to go. so what? they are negative to hillary, move on. pick a horse. >> trump needs to be reaching out to them. that's the key point. candidates always have to reach out. he needs to do that to republican voters now -- >> i think he has been doing that ten months. but that's just me. ed goens good to have you on begun. >>> up next, paul ryan, donald trump, and the indecision that could cost the republicans. also ahead tonight, a special surprise for mother's day. don't miss it. >>> and later -- who should be v.p.? >> monica lewinsky. >> oh. you never know what kind of answers you are going to get when youprison. he is fighting extra decision to the ugs. i'm jackie eye ibanez. now back to justice tis with judge jeanine. >>> welcome back to "

political director, rick wiley, abruptly leaves after six weeks on the job. power struggles percolate through the campaign, on top of -- her private e-mails broke the rules. >> crooked hillary. crooked hillary. she is as crooked as they come. she had a little bad news today, as you know, from some reports came down that weren't so good. but not so good. inspector general's report, not good. >> cnn jason carroll here with more. good morning to you, jason. >> good morning to you, pamela. that report from the state department inspector general was a gift for donald trump, who used it as more ammunition as you heard to go after hillary clinton at his rally yesterday in anaheim, once again, you heard him use the term crooked hillary, citing the report, which was very critical of clinton, using her personal e-mail account for government business. trump told the crowd that clinton is not equipped to be president, he pointed out bernie sanders was the one who initially questioned clinton's judgment. and you know, pamela, trump has had a love/hate relationship with sa

rick wiley's role was a temporary one. donald trump sources say he was fired after complaints of wiley throughout the campaign. donald trump targeting hillary clinton and elizabeth warren. here is what trump had to say about warren. >> i was hit by everybody. i was hit by the republicans. i was hit by pocahontas. pocahontas. pocahontas. that's elizabeth warren. i call her goofy. she is -- no, no, goofy. she gets less done than anybody in the united states senate. she gets nothing done. nothing passed. she has a big mouth. that's about it. >> reporter: there were more clash was trump protesters and police in anaheim. trump is trying to keep things calm within the paul ryan camp. george and alison. >>> a lot to talk about and to break it all down in the battle over the e-mail. let's talk with reporter eugene scott live in washington. eugene, let's talk about the e-mail situation. this report basically says that hillary clinton never got permission to use the e-mail server that she used. how serious is this for her right now

when rick wiley was fired yesterday, i was thinking he will rent an aide that has experience. he gets rid of them because he's so convinced that his way is right and so far it has been. >> trump and i discussed how politics requires hustpah when it comes to raising money. here is an observation. the cost of running. you said the former president who i think is great came into your office one time and asked you for $5 million for his library. you said that's how he got elected. >> that's true. >> would you ask your business competitors to contribute to your campaign? >> i think i would. why not? i'm in a unique position because i can take a lot of money and run for president and not have to ask anybody. i would never look a gift horse in the mouth. if these folks want to contribute to my campaign, i'll take your money. >> put the ten cup out there. eight hours ada on phone. trump's never done that. why not. >> first of all, that's all going to change. they need to raise a billion dollars. what he did to win aprimary among 17 people is a lot different than going out to win a gen

trump's campaign sent out a press release that it was cutting ties with national political director rick wileysome said he would always be a temporary hire. others say this is part of a huge internal are for happening in donald trump's world. -- internal turf war happening in donald trump's world. it will not make or break this campaign, but to the extent that it reflects disarray and internal chaos, how big of a problem is that for his candidacy? mark: i think there is some basic stuff that needs to get done in terms of fundraising, organizing states, and having professionals around is helpful. but donald trump manages the way he manages, i think if you said to me what are the five biggest names dangerous to trump winning, this is one of them. just having a team that is close and has each other's backs and can build what needs to be billed, take the money in and spend it efficiently. this does not speak well of what kind of president he would be. the back fighting, the leaks, the personal attacks, it's quite something and reminiscent of a clinton campaign. john: a hillary clinton campaign. th

came out in support of donald trump, and, you know, with the shakeup he had recently where he had rick wileyart under auspicious circumstances -- >> right. >> we found out the trump campaign and trump in particular really values loyalty, so in the broader demographic, i don't know that that would get him anything, but you also have to consider that the vp, the running mate, has to mesh with the top of the ticket. it has to mesh with who your candidate is. >> stay right there. i want to get reactions on that other side of the break to bob dole saying donald trump should apologize for insulting john mccain. we'll be right back. recently, a 1954 mercedes-benz grand prix race car made history when it sold for a record price of just under $30 million. and now, another mercedes-benz makes history selling at just over $30,000. ♪ and to think this one actually has a surround-sound stereo. the 2016 cla. lease the cla250 for $299 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. >>> bottom of the hour now, a cnn exclusive, my conversation with former republican presidenti

after six weeks he's fired political director rick wiley who had clashed with others on the team. trump was disappointed the fundraising deal that wiley negotiated with the republican party. >> he'll head back to california tomorrow. bret? >> carl cameron in billings, montana thank you. >>> president obama continues to inch his way into the november election campaign tonight invoking his fellow world leaders as you heard, what the president called their wariness of donald trump it came as president obama continues his far east tour. correspondent kevin corke is traveling with the president and reports from japan and a beautiful backdrop. >> the president is not running for re-election, but that certainly hasn't stopped him from weighing in on the presidential campaign. talking a great deal about it. almost as if he's chomping at the bit to get in there and run against the opponent on the gop side. and for his legacy. here on the sidelines at the g7 summit. the president was talking about the gop nominee donald trump. said he's shown an ignorant attitude toward world affairs saying

. >> reporter: trump's team continues to evolve after six weeks he's fired political director rick wiley who clashed with others on the team. trump was disappointed the fund-raising deal while he negotiated with the national party. trump's all but completed pivot to democratic candidate and spent most of his time fund-raising. lou? lou: carl cameron reporting. >>> senator sanders, i don't believe was overly gracious, do you? trump is holding a rally in billings, montana. he's at the rim rock auto arena in front of a crowd estimated at about 10,000 people. less's listen in and see wa he's saying tonight as the officially republican presidential nominee. >> i don't want winner take all. and then they did a poll. trump 48, they were 15 and 12. i said that must be a wrong poll. i'm going win in a landslide and they tried to change it back and we won all 99 delegates in the state. pretty good, right? [ cheers ] >> so sometimes the system is rigged. but sometimes because we're dealing with some pretty strange people, sometimes it works out to your advantage. let me tell you just in closing. we

last night donald trump's campaign announced it was cutting ties with national political director rick wiley. he was always going to be a temporary hire. others say that's not so and he was fired. others say this is internal turf war. my question is to the extent it reflects disarray, how big a problem is that for his candidacy? >> i think there's some basic stuff they need to get done. trump has loyalty to people who will have been loyal to him. i think in the end, if you said what are the five biggest dangers to trump winning, this is one of them. just having a system, a team that's close, has each other's back. i think it's a bad sign for him. this does not speak well of what kind of president he would be. the back biting, leaks, personal attacks, it's quite something. it's reminiscent of a clinton campaign. >> of a hillary clinton campaign bill clinton, you think about whose won. it was a lot especially early on. they became quite cohesive. the obama campaign quite cohesive. i don't think it applies to the presidency. it helps you win an election. >> you have got clear tensions in the ca

rick wiley is out, just six weeks after he was brought on to help professionalize the trump effort. in a statement last night, the campaign insisted wiley was always a short-term hire. trump seemed delighted by the fact that his nomination, once thought improbable, was decided before the democrats. >> and here i am watching hillary fight and he can't close the deal. >> in fact, hillary clinton is within 78 delegates of locking up her party's nomination, but a new poll shows her in a virtual tie with bernie sanders in the california primary less than two weeks away. today, clinton reacted to trump going over the top. >> that means an unqualified, loose canon is within reach of the most powerful job in the world. >> clinton also dismissed a state department watchdog report that found she violated policy by using a private email server as secretary of state. she told a univision affiliate last night, i will continue to be open, and it's not an issue that's going to affect either the campaign or my presidency. >> here's the question from bernie -- >> sanders, meanwhile, used late night

alice stewart, communications director for ted cruz and last but not least, rick wiley, national political director for donald trump. thank you all for being here. crossing my fingers. let's see how it goes. let me start with you, jeff, you heard hillary clinton's reaction when i said what do you think about these five, six things that bernie sanders definitely wants in the platform and you heard her remarks and her tone about bernie sanders, what did you think? >> this race is not over by any stretch of the imagination, we're going to the end, the senator has said that repeatedly. obvious ly the platform is a concern whether he wins or loses, as is the whole process by which we elect democratic nominee. so this campaign is going on. we've got indiana coming up on tuesday and he's going all the way to the end. >> karen? >> you know, as you heard hillary say to you, she absolutely thinks that the senator should go, you know, as long as he wants to. but i think the truth is the map is just not there. 260 pledged delegates, 3 million more actual votes, you know, the senator would need to win

paul manefort on board, rick wiley. we're continuing to build out.se guys are pros. >> by the way, for a while it was you and hope. it wasn't a lot of people for a while. >> it was small but we were efficient. we spent less money and had the best results. mr. trump, 11 million votes so far, more than anybody else in the history of the republican party in the nomination process. he obviously has more delegates than anybody has. he's going to be the republican nominee. you have to grow. we're going to go up against a clinton -- the potential clinton machine, thousands of people already on board. and, you know, they have built in advantages. i think the difference with donald trump as a candidate is that he's going to expand the map. you saw the polls come out today, the quinnipiac polls. he's ahead in the state of ohio, dead even in the state of pennsylvania, dead even in the state of florida. when you start putting states like that in play and got michigan and new york and potentially massachusetts and indiana and places where republicans haven't done

we've talked about his senior political director, rick wiley, earlier this week suddenly being let go so it's unclear how he will go about doing that. in other news you mentioned that debate that's been talked about in california. that's getting a lot of play with the supporters. they talk about how exciting they think that would be. in other news in san diego, we're following the protest scene. we see a lot of supporters. we're not seeing any protesters yet, but we've seen online several major groups who say they will be here. we have a massive police presence. they say they're going to hold press conferences every other hour. they say they're prepared and will not tolerate any violence here, period. jose. >> jacob rascon, thank you very much. steve patterson is also covering the trump campaign. he is in fresno where trump will be in just a couple hours from now. trump, good morning. what's going on where you are? >> reporter: jose, it is about 7:00 in the morning here in california and already we are starting to see some agitation. trump not scheduled to speak until about 10:00 this

donald trump has been very committed, certainly, even this week with the firing of rick wiley and theeshuffling of that campaign, that trump is doubling down on the trump show. this is going to be trump's campaign. he's not really going to professionalize it. to that point he doesn't really want to or have the capacity to give in to other issues, whether it be looking for opposition research on hillary clinton beyond "that's a terrible, bad thing." he likes to keep the folks' attention, good or bad, on himself. that's what he has experience with for more than three decades. >> yeah, and to that point, he has one main communications aide, the times reporting they've struggled to hire a communications director and other strategists. it's partly because he doesn't want to give up the wareins at all. he did touch on hillary clinton, it just didn't get a lot of traction. here is donald trump talking about that here. >> thank goodness for e-mails, i love e-mails! they never really go away. hillary, did you hear that? they never go away, hillary! you know, hillary is missing -- hillary is mi

about it, the inside intrigue right now, is the person who would be making a lot of these hires, rick wiley, he was just fired after being on the campaign for just six weeks. >> six weeks, now he's out. they're going to have to bring someone else in, but trump will tell you, don't want to put words in the man's mouth, but trump will tell you he's a man who is used to running businesses, he can run a campaign. someone is not doing the job, what do you do? you get them out quickly and move someone in who can do the job. gee didn't really lay out all 15 of those states. we'll see. i'm sure he will be asked. great to see you, jason. >> you bet. >> let's go to dan simon. he's in fresno. the crowd is already lining up. dan, i think you were in the middle it earlier this week when some of the rallies earlier this week were met with violent protests outside. what are you seeing so far this morning? >> reporter: well, hi, kate, we are just outside of the arena in press kn fresno where this group of protesters has gathered. it's a modest-sized crowd. maybe 50 or so. on the other side of the protester

the national political director rick wiley is no longer with the campaign. what happened? >> reporter: it was a surprise. when this was announced, they said that he was only a short-term appointment to the campaign. that's not true. as recently as last week, some of the operatives that i've spoken to said that he was making calls about prospective employment and people that would direct to rick. as donald trump secures the 1237 delegate number and shifts to the general election, many establishment have been pushing for trump's team to professionalize in operation. up to this point they have done extraordinarily well in a way that is not traditional to a republican sense. that's what rick was there for. he had tight ties with the committee and understood the ground game and data operation but he clashed with donald trump's team and now he's no longer on donald trump's team, wolf. >> phil, there have been calls from establishment republicans for trump to sort of professionalize his campaign. does this set back those efforts? >> yeah, it absolutely is, wolf. when you talk to

rick wiley. the campaign says something one day. trump says something the next. it's not just taxes. it is not just other issues that you mentioned. also a good example is susanna martinez. manafort said if you need to distance yourself from donald trump, feel free to do what you need to do as a campaign and then donald trump attacked the popular governor of new mexico and only latina governor in the country and when he's hurting with women voters and latina voters, maybe attacking a popular hispanic female governor is not smart to do. >> what do you think, matt? >> well, look. i think that this is problematic. if you -- if paul manafort, the top guy on the campaign, cannot negotiate in good faith and cannot make promises and expect his candidate to keep them, then you're essentially disempowered as a negotiator for your candidate. so this is really problematic and i think that donald trump is sending a message that, you know, that, no, you can't have any daylight. you have to bow down basically. i mean, this is -- it is my way or the highway. look. if you're a r

they're coping with another staff shake-up, donald trump parting ways with his director, rick wiley, them a sense how there are power struggles within the campaign. they are you ae facing challenges robust political organization, in time for the general election. >> thanks so much for all of that background. >>> joining us now is national spokeswoman, katrina pearson. >> good morning. >> is it safe to say susana martinez is off the safe list. >> she was never on the short list. >> is that right? so donald trump was never considering susana martinez, though she is a popular republican governor, and a latino woman? >> well, look, mr. trump doesn't work that way. i'm really shocked that people are still surprised that he is not looking at race and gender, when he makes his decisions. he definitely is looking at individuals, a lot of people are being submitted. they're being vetted. he wants the best person for the job. he doesn't want to pick somebody just because of their race or gender. >> sure, sure, fair enough. it has been pointed out politicians have to think strategically or peop

they let go of a senior staffer, rick wiley.mp campaign for the last six weeks. the trump campaign put out a statement saying that he has left the campaign. but i'm told by sources that this was not a voluntary departure. there were grumbles inside the campaign and that donald trump himself was fielding calls of complaints about this particular staffer. the other thing we should mention, donald trump and paul ryan, the speaker of the house, are scheduled to have a phone conversation to talk about a whole nother matter and that is whether the speaker will eventually endorse donald trump. i'm told by trump sources they're going to give the speaker as much time as he needs. >> let's get back to the housing crisis thing because donald trump went after bleelizabeth warren, who has been taking him on. >> that's right. he did. elizabeth warren savaged donald trump last night at an event where she said he was small and money grubbing because of the way he behaved during the housing crisis. he has been sort of on a rampage going after el
