what happened to mitt romney? is this a rejection of romney or the president?i think it's definitely a rejection of romney more than the president because mitt romney has always been his own man. the only time he got close to the president when he thought he might have the job of becoming the secretary of state and they started warming up to one another. you know what he feels about the president. he said it's too early for me to tell. i think this is mitt romney as a bad candidate. have you a grass roots candidate on the ground there who has done a really good job. i like primaries. i think you should have to prove yourself just because you ran for president or just because you have a big name or just because you have a lot of money doesn't mean you should automatic get through a general election so i'm glad this happened and probably make mitt romney a better candidate. he has to work harder for this and not take it for granted. if he loses this primary, i wouldn't be surprised honestly because when you have grassroot support on the ground for another candida

that is a situation that mitt romney finds him in for this senate race. advice would you give to govern him. governor: he needs to go out and worry e vote, i don't about him so much. he has good approval ratings. problem.now that is a we have unique system with delegates that report the done wellods and he's there. he's got a primary campaign, go through.have to i think he comes to the table cache, a lot of experience on the national stage. i think he'll represent the and certainly represent utah well. i am very optimistic and hopeful mitt the election of romney as the next united states senator from utah. host: political question for you, sir. a headline, governor gary herbert is raising money as re-election,ing for though he says he's not. i don't anticipate running again. the republican party in utah, i have ability to help them. so, do fundraisers here this summer to help pay for the cost and expense of the party. have people we want to legislature local government, significant importance to me, road.r meets the i come from local government, there is

it is hard to see how romney and the brainwashing gaffe, it was hard to see how romney in the 1968 version of the republican party, being pro-civil rights, would emerge as the nominee. it was a very short-lived political effort. host: another candidate whose in 1964, was-- was ronald reagan. he appeared on face the nation when he talked about the state of the republican party 50 years ago. [video clip] when we talk about the convention and the delegates, estimates range from 38% to 60% of goldwater delegates returning this year to miami. the onlye yourself as hope of the conservatives in the party? they are not going to rally around nelson rockefeller and many may not around richard nixon. where else do they have to go except for you? i want to go along anymore with using those labels. i have been working for two years for trying to get the party to drop the labels. i think that there is a different philosophy or belief in the republican party at the grassroots level and through the pros. i think you will find the republican party today is far ine willing to see good other republicans in t

romney was just behind him with 49.12%.akes the cut. joining me now is the man who edged out romney at that convention, utah senate candidate mike kennedy. thank you very much for being here. >> thanks for having me, ryan. how are you today? >> i'm well, thank you. what do you think the difference was? were you surprised you were able to edge out governor romney? and what about your message, do you think, propelled you to the top in that convention? >> not surprised at all. thank you, ryan, for the question. the reality, this has been a personal campaign. we worked really hard to reach out individually to our delegates. they're outstanding intelligent people, very capable, disturbed -- distinguishing between one candidate and the other. it's relevant as a doctor, as an attorney and as a state representative that the delegates recognize i'm a viable candidate and ultimately made the right choice, i believe. >> obviously president trump will be a big initial this race. president trump's already endorsed governor romney in thi

he said at the time they didn't need mitt romney ass a presidential candidate. all they needed was that magic plan from the republican mast of all aspects of federal spending, paul ryan. quote we want to the ryan budget. bick a republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to be president oof the united states. all we want is paul ryan's magic plan. he did not become vice president in that campaign he and mitt romney lost in 2012. but while mitt romney is just trying to make his political comeback now, paul ryan kept rolling and ended up becoming speaker of the house in 2015. the prevailing view was this meant the republican party would now be led by mr. policy, the most devoted policy wonk in all the land, the man whose reason for living was to reduce deficits and the debt and boy, does he know how to do it. es for once speaker he tarted releasing odd videos made him think he was running for president in 2016 or maybe he just liked videos of himself and the sound of people applauding him. >> how reassuring it would be if we actually fixed the tax code,

romney has been working overtime to brand himself as mr. utah.r home location from massachusetts to holiday, utah. he invited a photographer to sthap neace these shots of himself hanging out, chilling, are you there looking at me. i happen to be here in arches national park. last night he traded in his boston celtics fan gear for a utah jas jersey. when russell westbrook got in foul trouble with four fouls, mr. romney showed everyone how passionatet is about utah sport. >>> when i first heard the gunshots, so immediately it was like what's going on type of feeling. and then i looked back and i saw a gentleman near the entrance door of the waffle house. when i saw the barrel down, i just saw my opportunity and i attacked. and i took it, and it worked out for myself. it worked out for myself and others that were actually in the waffle house at the same time. >> on sunday, james shaw junior, the man you see there, rushed the gun olympian who had already killed four people at a waffle house in antioch, tennessee. he grabbed the man's ar-15 and wrestl

again, rockefeller and romney run and were pro-civil rights. after the civil voting rights act, the republican party becomes opposed to mandatory -- opposed to federal desegregation efforts, argues that the war on poverty targeting african-americans is a total failure and an example of a government overreaching. now that is not the only issue, but i think it is a central issue. it was really hard to see how romney and the brainwashing gaffe -- not to minimize it -- it was hard to see how romney in 1968 version of the republican party being pro-civil rights, how he would emerge as the nominee. he withdrew even before any votes were cast in new hampshire, so it was a very short-lived and in some ways ignominious political effort. host: another candidate whose rise came in 1964 was ronald reagan's, the retired actor. he ran for governor in 1966. he defeated a democrat, pat brown. and in june of 1968, he appeared on cbs's face the nation in which he talked about the state of the republican party and the conservative movement 50 years ago. >> when w

mitt romney, the latest poll was in february.inst an unknown person. this time 60% means it's a 60-40 primary. he goes to a convention and won't endorse trump right before, these are trump people. trump, i mean, this is the party of change, the party of donald trump. where we know in our last national poll, republicans want change 84-11. they like donald trump 83% approve. it's over 90% of republican primary voters. pete: you say 84-11 want change. >> right. pete: is mitt romney part of the 11? has the establishment not learned. >> he hasn't learned. president trump endorsed him when he announced for the race. and he has not endorsed donald trump. donald trump has done good things for utah. he has opened up federal lands for economic development. he has good relationship with the lds church. senator hatch likes him. tried to keep senator hatch there because he has done a lot. popular governor. he inappointed him to ambassador of russia. donald trump has changed the republican party and even in utah. mitt romney it's a mistake bec

i think it is hard to see how romney and the brainwashing minimized it -- it was hard to see how romney in 1968 version of the republican party being pro-civil rights, how he would emerge as the nominee. before any votes were cast, it was a very short-lived and political effort. >> another candidate whose rise came in 1964 was ronald reagan as the retired actor and he ran for governor. in june of 1968, he appeared on the cbs news in which he talked about the state of the republican party and the conservative movement. >> one we talk about the convention or the delegates, there are estimates ranging from 48%, 60%. goldwater delegates returning this year. do you see yourself as the only hope of the conservatives in the parking? they certainly are not going to rally around rockefeller and many of them rally around many of them rally around richard nixon. where else would they have to go except you? >> as you know, i won't go on anymore with using those labels. i have an working for two years trying to get the party to drop those labels. we have been very successful. a different philosophy

trump fully endorsed romney to run for the u.s.enate and romney accepted the president's endorsement. on saturday the former massachusetts governor did not win his nomination for that senate seat. that means he will have to compete against the state lawmaker in a republican primary vote in june. >> let's talk politics and trump white house nice to see you. he has allegedly done trump's dirty work involving payoffs to porn actresses. how damaging could this be for the president? >> i think it could be very damaging. michael cohen knows a lot of the secrets. james comey talks about president trump acting like a mafia boss and maybe that's a bit harsh. trump has had a private business. he trusts very few people. he trusts his family, which we know, his daughter, his son-in-law most of the time. he probably trusts his accountant. michael cohen has been one of his important lawyers. he has handled a lot of nasty stuff and probably a lot of comp complicated stuff. there is still the report out there which mr. cohen has denied but others

romney is interesting with the criticism of trump in the 2016 race.this just left over from the presidential race or something snels. >> they have had a long history. governor romney who i worked for in 2012 and thought he would have been a president and think he'll be a great senator, gave a speech of then candidate trump and then passed over for secretary of state. the politics are different in utah. president trump only got 46% of the vote in utah. he doesn't rate adds well on the approval ratings of mormons so i think what is happening to mitt romney right now is he's doing what he needs to do to win a primary and then general election in utah which i expect him to do. >> and then there's ted cruz, senator who's fawning over president trump in this new tribute in "time" magazine. he writes, while upon did its obsessed over tweets, he worked with congress to cut taxes for struggling families while well think sbebties announced that they would flee the country he fought to bring back jobs and industries to our shores. tara, president trump famously

you have no love lost between the president and mitt romney. you know that.he president believes mitt romney has the best chance of holding the seat. so he endorsed him. president trump has the strong hold on the reddest of red voters. and the fact that mitt romney has often been a critic, i think, is hurting him. plus the fact that he has some ties to utah, but did not grow up, or did not raise his family there. my guess is he is still likely to get the nomination, and likely to be the next senator for utah, but it's no guarantee. >> george, thank you. a lot of story lines for george to dig into. the president's legal woes. the new dnc lawsuit against the trump campaign. that's later with dnc chair tom perez. >> he'll also talk to senate foreign relations committee chair bob corker on the north korean nuclear test freeze. and what it means for talks with kim jong-un. >>> we want to move to the nation saying good-bye to barbara bush. wife to one president for 73 years and mother to another president. >> friends and family came together to remember the woman k
