had an opportunity to speak with governor ricketts of nebraska. if anyone should be conflicted, it's him. donald trump went head-to-head with his parents, joe and marlene ricketts, they f td ameritrade. there is coalescing on behalf of the party, i asked pete ricketts what he's going to do as governor of nebraska. listen. >> donald trump had talked to your parents, joe and marlene ricketts and said negative things about your family in response. could you still, if he's the nominee, vote for him? >> yeah, the republican party stands for ideals about increasing opportunity. i will support the nominee because we're looking to really unleash that full potential in america. that's what the republican ideals are about. that's why whoever our nominee is we're going to get behind that person and take the white house. liz: this is news, even if it's donald trump, you -- >> i'm going to be behind the nominee. liz: john, if governor ricketts can come around, don't you expect that most republicans will? >> i don't think so. paul ryan certainly has reservation

i want to just say, to the ricketts.eir approach and to the governor himself, and the opposite of that is paul ryan. the opposite of that is mitt romney. >> yeah. well, and let's talk about paul ryan for a moment. he may think this is a negotiating tactic. it's going to backfire very quickly. lou, remember this, that by the time the primaries are over next month, 12 million people will have cast their vote for donald trump for the republican nominee, more than any other nominee in history, not one single american has cast a vote to make paul ryan speaker of the house, much less the leader of the republican party. i think ryan had better get in line quickly, and i predict he will, or he may suffer the same fate as john boehner down the line. lou: yeah. and the truth is he has limited ability to influence the outcome of this election. he does have tremendous opportunity to do so on the positive side; that is, to restore confidence to the members of the house who don't understand that with the millions of votes that donald

consider a very politically connected, very rich ricketts family, the largest source of funds for the anti-trump ad campaigns. the ricketts family has td ameritrade, the governorship of the state of nebraska and the chicago cubs. and even though they spent millions of dollars on tv ads attacking donald trump, debate governor pete ricketts announced donald trump ahead of nebraska's republican primary. so narrative be darned. for republican voters, the trump issues appeared to be settled. for republicans, so-called leaders, even though most enthusiastically and loquaciously opposed to donald trump, i'm looking at you, rick perry, they're over that and looking for trump administration jobs. they're now saying they'll spend millions for trump when they spent millions against trump. when rick perry said he was endorsing donald trump a few days ago, he mentioned in that conversation that if many trump needed a running mate "i couldn't say no." which makes rick perry technically the crowned prince of the wig party. now, there were some exciting signs that republican house speaker paul ryan m

nebraska governor, pete ricketts. the reason it might be unexpected, ricketts comes from a major donor family that spent at least $5.5 trying to stop trump. it's not just washington split. jeff zeleny is "outfront" from omaha where trump just wrapped up a big rally. so jeff, we've been hearing a lot from party leaders now who say they can't back trump. you've been talking to voters across the country. where do they stand? >> reporter: well, kate, there is a disconnect between washington and the electorate. not surprisingly, that is what this whole rise of donald trump is about. when you talk to voters today about the wake of this donald trump ascension to basically becoming the nominee, they are with him. of course, there is some nervousness about what he may say. but again and again, people say, look, it's a choice election between hillary clinton or donald trump. he won fair and square. he would beat all of the other candidates in the race. so kate, far less consternation among republican activists or conservative v

but some of those concerns were put to rest today when nebraska's governor pete ricketts came out in support of donald trump today, it's especially important because ricketts' family had spent millions of dollars bank rolling an anti-trump super pac. there was also the support from dick cheney and the former texas governor rick perry who said he would go so far as to be donldz trump's running mate. at the rally today, donald trump had kind words for perry even though perry's words last summer for donald trump weren't exactly kind. >> rick perry is an example. he came in, and and i've always liked him. but he's a tough competitor. he fought hard, and he was rough on me. right? he said i'm a cancer on the republican party. now, that's the bad news. let me tell you the good news. so yesterday he endorsed me. >> reporter: but certainly donald trump hasn't won everyone over. nebraska senator ben sass has reiterated that he will not vote for donald trump, no way no how, and he is encouraging the republican party to look for a third option. and lindsey graham today said not only would he no
