do not let that fall by the wayside. i know that might sound a little preachy and even a little cheesy. you do not need to make a big show of it. just go. prayer has sustained me and difficult moments in my life and i think it will do the same for you. as you get older, you will realize that life actually does follow a plan. it just may not be your plan. it is god's plan. coming to accept that fundamental fact, not coming to accept that begrudgingly, but peacefully, that is the essence of faith. you might not be able to make all the changes you wanted. the question is, did you make a difference whenever you could? did you meet the moment? did you see yourself in the mirror that morning or evening and think, ok, i'm doing this the right way? are you endeavoring to be fulfilled and be a good person? in all of your aspects, all your works in life? if you remember one word from the speech, let it be faith. that should be all the planning you need. may god bless you and keep you in his care. congratulations once again. thank

how do you throw that to the wayside. it is very disappointing and disheartening. they get and start a third party. they do not recognize what is at stake. everything you just talked about in this prior segment. it is at stake here. this is not a vote. it is not necessarily about donald trump or paul ryan. supporting trump's message and agenda. by saying, no, i'm not supporting him, you are basically blowing off the millions and millions of people that have supported that effort and that man and that agenda. >> it is a little mind boggling. it may be decreasingly destructive. >> i think that donald trump recognizes that. you do not want chuck schumer to be the majority leader. he will make harry reid look like cinderella. he will not be getting the help of congress. they have two years before i got here. bernie could've led the charge and they didn't. zero. trish: thank you so much. you set it on record, you would accept if he asked you. >> it is not going to happen. it is not going to happen. i am flattered to be part of the conversation. >> that is some spirit fo

[ laughter ] >> they do a grant program, a block grant program for cities. >> that's true. >> let's talk a little bit about the national election, and we'll start locally, looking at senator toomey, who did some interesting things. this poor man, he's trying to go left and right at the same time, writing an editorial in which he did not endorse donald trump but said, "here are the things you could do to come back in my direction." and at the same time, he seems to be very open -- not finally confirmed but open -- to not going to the convention this summer.

the american idea that you have to follow the corporation schedule is falling by the wayside.e are saying why am i having an alarm clock when i can get up and put in my 8 hours. kennedy: when you have kid, it obviously changes because you try and keep those little urchins occupied. they just keep coming back. >> a friend is reading a new dr. strange love movie. he will work all night and he has a bizarre schedule. he says he doesn't like distractions during the day. but if i don't get 8 hours sleep every night i'm not a nice person to be around, i'm not as good in any capacity. i envy people who only need 5 hours a night. >> i get as' sleep as i possibly can. i love sleep. and drunkenness is for drinking only. a wall on our border with mexico, is it trapping americans outside of our own country? why do some cash back cards keep throwing obstacles at you? first - they limit where you earn bonus cash back. then - those places change every few months? i think i'll pass... quicksilver from capital one puts nothing in your way. you simply earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purc

they could fall to the wayside by the end of the week. >> i know you love a good bit of japan as well and we're discussing at the moment whether or not the authorities in japan, they will step in to stem the rise of the yen. it's going to be awfully difficult for them. i was just looking at the latest reports to congress. from the u.s. treasury department. they're basically creating this new monitoring list. you've probably seen it already, including china, taiwan, and germany and to watch and assess foreign policy exchanges in these economies. so they're basically kind of poking at japan and saying don't intervene. >> you know, all bark no bite. i don't think, i think the japanese are completely not taking this seriously, because they know there are far, far more important geopolitical factors that would prevent the treasury doing anything serious. if the japanese want to intervene, they're going to intervene. they're going to completely disregard this treasury directive because they have far greater trade relations and relations that matter to us, and we're not going to go after jap

. >> i kind of left those vp rumors go by the wayside and assume that the trump campaign understands that while he's an outsider and represents sort of the shake-up in washington, which you don't want to lose because i think that is what people want out there across the country, you want someone who understands we've got to have a real seasoned veteran and i do agree with you. i think there has to be a degree of diversity on the ballot. whether it be diversity of gender or ethnic background, somehow or another, diversity is important. in some respect. >> what do you think? >> it sounds to me like he's saying there are so many gaps to fill. you could pick any number of people. >> would it be wise for him to pick a woman? >> i think that would probably be helpful to some extent. >> her name has been mentioned. >> i think it's worth a try to blunt some of the criticism on the front. the new york times stories and i think they continue to come. because donald trump, the truth is he wants to be donald trump all the time and to find somebody who's going to complement that is a trick and wh

people unite and what i think bill kristol and george will are advocating, let's hope that goes by the wayside. >> who would be top vice presidential candidates for you? >> i know people probably dis agree with it, i'm not going to tell you what i think. i actually think chris christie would be a great pick as a vice presidential candidate. i know people are watching, oh my good, bridge-gate, christie is too much like trump. >> i think he should be in the administration, absolutely not vice president. >> i thought the same thing. sean, i'm thinking of people who he clear-cut marco rubio, number one. number two, he's super smart. he has really good political instincts. the whole bridge thing notwithstanding. i'm sorry. i think christie would be great. >> who else would you like? >> i think gingrich would be a great vice presidential pick. i think newt would be good. i think christie would be good. >> yeah. >> those are probably right now who my -- >> i don't think anyone is going to think about that, but kasich actually balanced the budget, got welfare reform. if we have two defining moments of

spokesperson the first little bump in the general election is chairman priebus right that is going by the wayside? >> i think the reality that he was impersonating someone else, himself is not really -- 25 years ago not important. fact that he's now denying it when on face just seems to be true. is perhaps an issue not for people who support him i think it's been clear through these primaries, people will support no matter what. in effort to expand the electorate that supports him in general election it's probably one of those things that makes people think, who is this man, can i trust him? can i trust him to be commander in chief. not a big deal but maybe part of case that could be made against him by his opponents. >> michael, what do you make of chairman priebus saying the voters like donald trump and so these questions about him whether it's taxes or any of this other stuff. >> one step away defense. he's not actually defending, he's saying extraordinary phenomenon this guy is. that is another position. this is case where he's deceiving people, i think. but never have cost to that, it's enco

opposition, hasn't the american public in the loser because their interests appear to fall by the wayside in party interest appear to be the most prominent issue? >> one thing political scientists will tell us about the benefits of the current system, which you may not think about is that voters now do understand much better what they are voting for in a world in which the parties have clear labels and mean very clear things. most voters have trouble sorting through individual members of congress and the individual senators. with differences among presidential candidate tend the party label is the single most important informational tool for the median voter, a benefit of clarity like this if people turn out because they perceive a lot to be mistake from the choice choicee at stake in the and attendance for presidential elections has been going up, that is a benefit. there's a tremendous set of cost, which is does it make the system ungovernable because the institutional design to separate these institutions that they somehow have to be united doesn't make the system less responsive to wh

we'll see see if that talking point goes by the wayside. he's got to make phone calls, do all the day-to-day affidavits candidates hate and he's been pretty free of because of all the money that was coming in was small donor money. he has to do it because campaigns ar fortune. $500 million to $1 billion, it's probably closer to $1 billion this time. it's not just his candidacy, it's the entire party and the down-ballot races that need him to help raise money for rnc. this was going to happen, it's a matter of when. >> you've got the situation where his relationship to those down-ballot candidates to the party still remains somewhat frosty. here's the "new york times" on making some calls yesterday. the last two days more than 70 republican governors, senators, representatives, officials and donors were contacted for comments about mr. trump. only about 20 replied with many aides saying their bosses did not want to take a stand yet. i mean, i don't know how that shakes out. >> they somehow don't have cell phone service when they're on recess

i guess the criticisms will go by the wayside as he continues now to look. >> competition it now over. >> all the other 16 candidates and maybe others. let's talk about how he's going to raise money. because it's been estimated that mr. trump will need $500 million to $1 billion to run against hillary clinton. he said this, this morning. what he might have to sell to do that. >> we'll have to sell a building. i think that probably i'm looking -- i'm not looking for myself. i'm looking for the party, where the party is going to receive a lot of money so the party can compete, including at senate races, including at congressional races. you know, i think that's a big part of it. that's a big part of what i want to do. >> katrina, as you know, one of the most important things that donald trump had going for him in his campaign was being able to say he was self-funded. what's going to happen. how is he going to raise that money? dons of gop donors are not going to give him a dime they're saying. >> as mr. trump has already said. he'd be willing to commit a billion dollars of his own money

instead of just letting it fall away to the wayside. >> you can see more of the cnn money report on cnnmoney.comericanopportunity . donald trump has connected with many of these blue-collar white men, tapping into their anger, promising to bring jobs back to america. let's talk more about how this group is shaping this year's election. back with me is ryan lizza, maria cardona, democratic superdelegate and hillary clinton supporter, and trump supporter scotty hughes. ryan, when it comes to jobs we have advances in technology, automation, all this taking human beings out of the production loop in a lot of industries. is donald trump being realistic with blue-collar white men about their job prospects? >> well, if he's saying that the people who have not benefited from globalization and the offshoring of jobs, if he's saying that, well, he's going to bring all of those jobs back and everything's going to be the way it was 30, 40 years ago, then no. he's not being honest. but if he's saying that, you know, as a government we need to do something -- we have to recognize that free trade, which both p

. >> they feel like they're going to go by the wayside, that they're going to be not only the minority population, but treated as if they don't ma. so they were easy targets for zarqawi to recruit. >> narrator: now abu musab al-zarqawi had his opportunity. (explosion) in the weeks that followed, the insurgency began. (explosions) >> when these sorts of attacks began, nobody was quite clear, i think, where they were coming from, who was behind them, and how sustainable they were. >> there has been another spam of violence in iraq. >> a car bomb killed at least five iraqis... >> narrator: in washington, they insisted everything was under control. >> there's an absence of authority, a vacuum of authority for most people. >> i picked up a newspaper today and i couldn't believe it. i read eight headlines that talked about chaos, violence, unrest, and it just was henny penny, "the sky is falling!" i've never seen anything like it. it's just unbelievable how people can take that away from what is happening in that country. >> willful denial is one way of putting it. i mean, i remember, you kn

who's not a big fan of the carried interest thing in the way that every republican -- >> go by the wayside. >> yeah. it's a predictive question, right? do you think that's going to stay? >> sure. i don't think he has -- i don't think he has that much motivation to go against it. and i think he is going to still -- >> you think he will come out against it still. >> he's going to try to keep enough populism open, right? >> he has to. i think what will end up happening if we see him pandering to the donor class or the quote, unquote, donor class, he's going to look stiff. he's going to look like that foreign policy speech that he gave with the teleprompters. he will be a fish out of water. i don't think we're goingo see that too much of him. >> i'm interested by the pollster hire because i think he was right back last summer when he said he didn't need a pollster. >> he was correct. and he probably would have been hurt if he listened to them. >> right. just because he had a great intuitive sense of republican primary voters doesn't mean he doesn't have a great sense of the general election. >

in both in east germany and west germany they see these trials fall by the wayside. >> so i want to talk about technique. everybody has their own little quirky system, it might be certain kind of software, it might be a ritual that you use for writing, what is your secret sauce, and how do you get that. >> i have no technique mac well for me it was all structure, i would have to -- first of all ahead of the researcher i hired a researcher for 11 of the 12 years that i worked on the book because i am not a trained historian. >> you could have fooled me. [laughter] >> thank you. but she contribute a great deal in finding documents that i would've never known how to find. and so that was my system. so i would read hundreds of books and i would mark them and i either, my researcher or other people that i hired part-time would scan and i would put them in categories. so every chapter had maybe 30 or 40 small categories of the primary survivor stories, the the main characters and then all of the other hundreds of survivors who are not names but their stories are woven into the narratives, the

waving around that donald trump ignored seven times from sunday, you know, it kind of fades by the wayside. there's a moral code here, a moral standard. if you have someone who is insulting women, insulting minorities, i think that takes a little higher precedence than a piece of paper from reince priebus. >> he's not insulting women or minorities. i'm a woman and a minority and i'm 100% behind him. >> his ads are full of insults -- >> you are in a minority, both those groups, maybe that will change. a.j., jennifer, thank you both. i'm joined by bob inglis, republican from south carolina, executive director of a nonprofit, the reason i wanted you on is that you -- i feel like you got the first wave of the thing that made trump, which is you got primaried in 2010, you got kicked out, you were in a conservative district, a conservative republican with a conservative voting record who believed in climate change and you got primaried and you lost. how do you now understand what is happening six years later with this nominee? >> well, i think it's a little bit different, chris. i think what i g

people unite and what i think bill kristol and george will are advocating, let's hope that goes by the wayside who would be top vice presidential candidates for you? >> i know people probably dis agree with it, i'm not going to tell you what i think. i actually think chris christie would be a great pick as a vice presidential candidate. i know people are watching, oh my good, bridge-gate, christie is too much like trump. >> i think he should be in the administration, absolutely not vice president. >> i thought the same thing. sean, i'm thinking of people who he clear-cut marco rubio, number one. number two, he's super smart. he has really good political instincts. the whole bridge thing notwithstanding. i'm sorry. i think christie would be great. >> who else would you like? >> i think gingrich would be a great vice presidential pick. i think newt would be good. i think christie would be good. >> yeah. >> those are probably right now who my -- >> i don't think anyone is going to think about that, but kasich actually balanced the budget, got welfare reform. if we have two defining moments of con

and done, talking about the size of his hands and all this sort of stuff, is going to fall by the wayside and at some point, america has to walk into a voting booth and make a decision. and she's -- she's making a bet, it could be the wrong bet that people are going to be more interested in the substantive argument about what would make women's lives better than arguing about bill clinton. she's making a bet. >> how are bill clinton's affairs relevant? they are, after all, his affairs. >> let's take away his actions and look at her actions with regard to kathleen wylie, juanita broderick, paula jones who have said they were demonized by hillary clinton 15.8% of women, just that number, come out and commit -- not commit, reveal their sexual assaults. because they're scared of hillary clinton or someone like hillary clinton demonizing them or not believing them. so hillary clinton tweets out on may 15th, every victim of sexual assault deserves to be heard and believed, unless the sexual assault committed by her husband and then demonized. this was confirmed by linda trip. multiple women. so
