whether it was governor susannah martinez of new mexico last week, mitt romney who he said looks like a fool or bill crystal, the conservative publisher, former bush administration white house aide, who he said was a loser. >> these are strong words. what has the reaction been from either the establishment republicans or the press? >> to some extent, tyler this isn't new. he's done a lot of this for the campaign. many republicans for a long time have gone after what they call the mainstream media and said they're biased against republicans. of greatest concern to republicans is continuing the attacks on fellow members of his party. now that he's the presumptive republican nominee. many have wanted him to say, okay, now that you've got the nomination, behave differently, unite the party. he's done that at some of the grassroots levels. he's getting in the high 80s of support among republicans. but people like paul ryan are not going to be happy to see him continuing to go after mitt romney, who paul ryan ran with, susannah martinez, the latina governor of new mexico, all of those thing

he started attacking governor susannah martinez of new mexico as lazy and slow-moving while he was campaigning in her home state. he re-upped his attacks against a judge who's overseeing his trump university fraud case. he started saying ominously to his rally audiences that the judge is a mexican. tonight in the "wall street journal," they've broken the dispiriting news mr. trump is redoubling his attacks on judge curial. mr. trump told "the wall street journal" tonight that the judge has an absolute conflict in the case because, specifically, he is of mexican heritage. mr. trump went on to explain, i'm building a wall, it's an inherent conflict of interest. so latino judges aren't allowed to judge donald trump because -- then last night the rnc lost another top staffer, ruth guerra, she had been the head of has panic media relations for the republican national committee. as of last night she too has quit. so this is an awkward time for speaker of the house paul ryan to be epdoersing donald trump today. just as all the highest-ranking staffers for the republican pay are fleeing in the face of

. >> trump is apparently also having second thoughts about new mexico governor susannah martinez, a republican and nation's first hispanic governor. at rally in new mexico last night trump blasted -- last week i should say, trump blasted martinez, saying she is not doing the job and also suggested he might run for governor of new mexico, but yesterday trump told the santa fe newspaper, quote, respect her. i have always liked her. trump gave the interview just after the governor suggested she still might endorse him. martinez previously criticized donald trump for calling mexican immigrants rapists and drug dealers and for his plan to built a wall along the mexico border. we have team fox coverage of the race for the white house. jennifer griffin on the hillary clinton campaign, mike ean mall in bernie sanders, and then john roberts in california where trump is about to hold a rally. >> reporter: a big crowd to see donald trump in redding where the therm mome at the is expected to hit 102 degrees by the time he takes the stage. looking bat what you said about susanna martinez and ted cruz and t

was completely unfortunate, unnecessary, for our nominee to attack the governor of new mexico, susannah martinez. i think he's attacks don't serve the candidate very well at this point. we ought to be trying to unify, he ought to be trying to unify the party behind him. >> behind the scenes, however, concerns about trump's racialized attack on a federal judge are mounting. this afternoon nbc news correspondent katy tur reported, trump aides not happy with trump's attack on judge curiel, these are the things that will defeat us. congressman from texas who has endorsed donald trump, let me start with this, do you believe judge curiel, because he is of mexican heritage, should recuse himself or is incapable of being unbiased as a federal judge because of his ethnicity i? >> look, chris. first off, no surprise, i agree with paul ryan, the remark was kind of out of left field. let me just say, i know nothing about this lawsuit. it's a private matter. sure, i got to wonder why it wasn't settled prior to the presidential campaign but apparently the principal in the lawsuit feels he has a good chance to

stood by his attacks on fellow republicans who don't support him, including new mexico governor susannah martinez>> you think i'm going to change? i'm not going to change, including with her. go ahead, one more question. >> reporter: trump's volatile approach continues to fuel speculation about an independent challenge drawn from inside republican ranks. one name that's floating out there in sort of ethereal way is david french, a writer for the conservative "national review," who's never held elective office. gayle? >> quite an interesting news conference yesterday. many watched with their mouths hanging open. thank you very much. >>> a new national poll out finds hillary clinton leading donald trump by four points in a head-to-head match-up. when the vase broken down by gender, the male voters go for trump 51 hai51-35%. hillary clinton holds a bigger lead with women, 54%. we have more on the big boost for clinton in california. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, she collected an endorsement that no one saw coming, burying a 24-year-old hatchet once and for all. clinton is hoping for a dec

new mexico's governor, susannah martinez, she wasn't there either.aren't getting behind him. why? first, you've got the rhetoric, some of the policies that the gop is not in line with, his trade proposals being just some of them. i want to bring in someone who spoke very, very strongly but why he is not endorsing donald trump, senator mike lee from utah. let's take a listen to that. >> he accused my best friend's father of conspiring to kill jfk. we can go through the fact that he's made some statements that some have identifying correctly as religiously intolerant. we can get into the fact he's wildly unpopular in my state. i hope i can get over my concerns, i hope mr. trump can help me do that. but don't sit here and tell me, steve, that i have no reason to be concerned about donald trump. >> and of course senator lee referring to ted cruz, as you know, during the primary there, trump had insinuated that cruz's father had somehow been involved with the kennedy assassination. when i was listening to trump's speech in ohio, he was talking about trade
