so now that wylie is gone, who plays that role?ually does act to make sure you guys are also competitive? >> i think as donald trump said, a lot of the ground game is going to be the function of a combination of the rnc and the trump campaign itself. let's not forget that rick wylie was hired to mesh the two apparatus. now that that's happened, i don't think we should look too much into why he was let go or left or the situation there. every situation i was involved in from the president down to the town judge, people try to compete for the principal's attention. objectively we can't see this as that unique. i'm sure the same thing goes on if not more or less spoken about in the clinton campaign or sanders campaign but these are not unique to the trump campaign. >> joe, i give you that point but there is something -- wylie did say people report to him in the ground game. who makes sure the ground game is strengthened? >> there's no doubt the trump campaign is working on developing a more robust operation than it is today. but befor

rick wylie being bounced out is a big deal. there are always power plays, always a degree of criminology in campaigns. her job is to go on tv and deny it and say everything is sunshine and rainbows, but it's not. >> is that fair? >> this sounds like fodder for the tabloids. this is not important to what's going to happen in november. >> it's a key campaign position, to be fair. >> certainly. but we do believe it was a temporary thing. but this is almost like brittney versus justin. it sounds like something you would read in "us weekly." >> it's normal political -- >> but i don't think it's going to have any sort of -- >> he has no governing qualification, no leadership, doesn't know anything about foreign policy, so his ability to actually manage his team effectively would seem to be important. >> i need you to hold that thought. one more thought before we go. >> this entire race like a reality television campaign. and actually, he's done a really good job. and i think we shouldn't be surprised that after 12 years of being fixa

the campaign announcing that the team and wylie had split ways. interestingly, wylie was the one who was basically leading the charge to put more boosts on the grounds in places like florida and pennsylvania. ready to campaign for trump and ready to put people in leadership roles in order to get some sort of a campaign going at that level as they turn into the general election. wylie's departure is settling and still questions surrounding it. they have been doing so over the last few weeks trying to add members to their team and trying to figure out how all the pieces and kind of all fit together and playing catch up now with hillary clinton who's been doing this and making the same moves for months. >> halie jackson for us there in montana and luke russer for us on the hill. meanwhile as we wait for donald trump taking the podium there. lets bring in berry bennett, the senior advisor to the trump campaign. lets start with this threshold of 1237. you goo is have cro you guys have crossed it. what does it mean? does it make fundraiser easier? it ma

retired police officer kevin wylie was with oakland's child traveling unit for 15 years. he knows the stats and has built a disturbing profile of the patterns of pimp. >> what we call the romeo pimp, the boyfriend, girlfriend, i love you, i'll take care of you. the gorilla pimp where these girls are physically snatched off the street, beaten, raped, taken to a house. >> reporter: once a pimp has a young girl, experts tell us she's typically raped 10 to 20 times a day. >> it takes two to three days for a girl to come from normalcy, two to three days before they're conditioned to be a piece of property. to be sold by someone for sex. >> reporter: once conditioned, the girls are trafficked nationwide on what wylie calls the circuit, a cluster of cities where sex trafficking thrives. richmond, oakland, los angeles, phoenix, atlanta. in the event of a major boxing match or gambling tournament, las vegas is a popular destination. all the while the pitches keeping a stranglehold on the girls' money and movements. >> breaking that bond between them and not just that pimp but all

but there is no doubt the new guard, the paul manafort, the rick wylies' world.hey have changed since the told school professionals have been involved. but there is always a tug-of-war. having said that, this is one of the central pillars of his campaign. they want to see a temporary ban on all muslims until they can figure it out. >> i think we are seeing the natural evolution of a campaign. and now they have recognized it themselves. there is a need to fine-tune. you need to start appealing to a broader base and figure out how am i going to win the american vote in certain states. so i think it's a natural progression. what we heard, to me it make sense. right after an attack want to take an immediate step toward stopping what may be an immediate threat to your country. but eventually figure out what the fine-tuning is for the long-term measure that will serve us well. charles: who did you tart out with? >> kasich. charles: now are you supporting and endorsing donald trump? >> i don't think it matters who lily supports. charles: the reason i'm asking is one of

they fired rick wylie yesterday. trump fired him. >> why? >> for several reasons. mostly the turf war, the old guard that donald trump is loyal to and that is one reason but also the tug of war in terms of personality and loyalty but also the tug of war of the best way to go about things. for example, my understanding is that a big part of the fight inturpally was that as rick wylie was building state teams which is what you do for a national campaign, in florida trump wanted the person who helped and so there was a clash. >> very quickly, this puts enormous pressure on other republicans who have stayed out of it and have endorsed donald trump to come on board. >> certainly adds to pressure that they have been feeling. we were saying goeback a year. a few weeks ago we didn't know any candidate was going to get to 1,237. th the strength is never going away. he was never to vanquish the opponents. if that didn't bring the party together and the republican party is consolidating i do think the whole establishment will feel more pressure between now and cleveland to pr

last night, the trump campaign announced that rick wylie, a seasoned gop hand, was no long we are the campaign. he worked for trump for all of six weeks. joining me now, robert costa, national political reporter for "the washington post." robert, here you have the guy within the span of 24 hours, he's clinched it >> chris, as we all know at the center of this campaign is one strategist, donald trump. and he has a warring campaign in some ways with paul manafort, corey lewandowski. we continue to see the campaign barreling forward, trump at the center being the key player and the decisionmaker. >> what's the deal? it seems like "game of thrones" over that campaign. let me say covering a lot of campaigns, they're all "game of thrones." the office poll sicks of campaigns are legendarily brutal. this one seems more brutal than usual. >> it's a different kind of campaign because it's very small in size. if you compare trump to the operation, it's small. in manafort you have someone who's building relationships in washington, doesn't have as close a rapport with lewandowski. but they're bot

. >> would you say that about kathleen wylie and or paula jones, should we believe them as well? >> i would say that everybody should be believed at first until they are disbelieved based on evidence. [ applause ] >> reporter: it is a heroic stand for some voters and hypocrisy for others. tom foreman, washington. >> and joining us is trump supporter, joining us by satellite. is it fair for donald trump to bring this up given his own history? i mean, how do you see this playing out? >> he does not have a history of sexual assault, bill clinton does and hillary clinton has a history of dragging their names through the mud. 15.8% of sexual assault victims report the crime because they're afraid of being demonized, not being believed. juanita, they were demonized by her. i'm offended that she did not believe these women, come to their rescue. instead demonized them and has the audacity to send out a tweet on november 15th saying all victims of sexual assault deserve to be believed unless they're the victims of bill clinton. i'm offended and think women all across the country are goin

. >> 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 hillary clinton's actions we're talking about here, not bill clinton's. >> heavy sigh. >> as she was speaking. >> i mean, one of the things caylee has said previously when talking about the best trump strategy is not to put hillary clinton in a position of being the victim. and as soon as you bring up the playbook from the 19990s, you immediately put her in a position of leaving with incredibly high favorability ratings, incredibly sort of remorseful and empathetic public towards her
