Tom often 13 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: a reflection of what's going on in trade. May I state. 14 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: We had a huge response from our Wilbur Ross interview. 15 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: Huge response to his comments that republic have to get 16 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: behind Mr Trump. Huge response. Well, according to UM the surveys, 17 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: the latest ABC Washington Post survey, that's going to be 18 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: very difficult. Huge response. We'll get to that a minute. 19 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: I wanted to just go from the economy numbers here 20 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: into the economy's impact on the political process. Megan Murphy 21 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: from Bloomberg News. Uh, we're Washington Bureau Chief joining us now, Megan, 22 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: I'm looking at Gary Langer's exit poll numbers for ABC, 23 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: and Gary, of course produces the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index 24 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: four UH, inten um six intent rather um. Voters in 25 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: the Republican primary in Michigan say they are worried about 26 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: the direction of the economy eight in ten in Mississippi. 27 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: And yet you talk to people on Wall Street and 28 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: things aren't that bad. There seems to be quite a 29 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: disconnect between people on Wallster it in people in what 30 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: many on Wall Street would call the flyover. Yeah, and 31 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: I think that explains so much of what we've been 32 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: seeing so far this election cycle. This disconnect is real. 33 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: We've done many stories showing how actually the underlying fundamentals, 34 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: whether you look at wages, whether you look at productivity, 35 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: whether you think look at flavorforce, participation, were actually things 36 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: seems to be, you know, getting better. But yet that 37 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: is not reflected in this huge angry swing we see, 38 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: this anti establishment swing we see and even the number 39 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: of people in the same exit polls who identified Donald 40 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: Trump as the man they think would do the best 41 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: job of Shepherd in the economy. He won by a 42 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: big margin on that score in Mississippi and a big 43 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: margin on that score in Michigan. Does this suggest another 44 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: interesting stat out from NBC this morning, um Trump has 45 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: won every state with unemployment over five percent. That people 46 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: are are willing to overlook everything else because it's the 47 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: economy stupid. I think it's the a nomy see when 48 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: I think you also see that on the flip side 49 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: of the Democratic grace. You know, one of the reasons 50 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: why Bernie Sanders was able to pull off that stunning 51 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: upset in Michigan last night was that he really doubled 52 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: down on some of his key themes on trade, some 53 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: of his key teams on income inequality. People think that 54 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: Hillary made a mistake when she sort of tagged him 55 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: with that he hadn't supported the auto bailout, which is 56 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: sort of partially not true. And again the economics were 57 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: on full display of how that remains the animating theme 58 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: of this election. Senator Cruise to the Rescue. Give us 59 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: an update on Senator cruizes relationship with other Republican establishment leaders. 60 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: Is an amateur. I'm suggesting it's fractious if you're the 61 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: pro Are they even on speaking troops? Look, we've done 62 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: extensive looks this week and talked to a bunch of 63 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: people to see if we can see any movement by 64 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: some of his Senate colleagues to get behind him, to 65 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: coalest behind him, and you'd be hard And it's pretty 66 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: much crickets in the room right now. This is kind 67 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: of their worst scenario. If there's anyone the establishment sort 68 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: of fears or is more concerned about than Donald Trump, 69 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: it's actually Ted Cruz. His views are very out of 70 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: the mainstream. His positions are very hard right and fundamentally 71 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: for Republican establishment. They do not believe he can win 72 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: against Hillary Clinton. They believe his positions are simply two 73 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: out of step with what is a rapidly changing demographic. Well, 74 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: American voters as of the last couple of days don't 75 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: believe that Trump can win either. The latest ABC Washington 76 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: pole just out within the last hour shows that right 77 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: now Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by a fifty to 78 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: vote preference among registered voters thirty six among everyone. But 79 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: while that's just a snapshot in time, what I found 80 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: very interesting is you look at Republicans who say they 81 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: don't want Donald Trump if he is the nominee, only 82 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: fifty of them say they would be like Wilbur Ross 83 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: and vote for the Republican because he's the Republican. It is, 84 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: to get back to what Tom said at the beginning, 85 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: going to be very hard for Trump to even attract 86 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: the Republican Party, let alone Independence and Democrats. I think 87 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: this number is one that we're going to have to 88 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: watch closely to see if it changes, because what we 89 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: haven't yet see play out is the realization among a 90 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: huge part of the Republican Party, this sort of majority 91 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: of the Replican Party, that Donald Trump can and is 92 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: the nominee. And I think once that sort of I 93 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: do call it sort of the five stages of grief, 94 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: as some people have described it. I do think there's 95 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: many senior figures in the party who will look at 96 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: this race and look at this contest and say, look, 97 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: if we don't get behind him, we risk a true 98 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: civil war in the party. A fraction of the party 99 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: like we haven't seen are we really are we really 100 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: willing to risk the Senate, risk the House, risk some 101 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: of our governorships when a lot of those states come 102 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: up risk redistrict saying I do think over the next 103 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: several days we're going to see some establishment figures. I 104 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: thought what Wilba Ross said was tremendously interesting. Say, wait 105 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: a second, are we potentially doing more harm than good 106 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: by continuing this? Never Trump stopped trumping. You listen to 107 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: our interview with Wilver Ross. Well, I was on at 108 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: the same time, so I was listening to one year. 109 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: But I think, you know, look, this is the thing 110 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: the party risks. You know, the party risks a fundamental 111 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: split and whether the senior financiers. I hear it a 112 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: lot from people who have put a lot of money 113 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: into the selection and saying we don't want to cut 114 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: off our nose despite our face angle. What is your 115 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: number one study item as you moved to Florida next Tuesday? 116 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: That's the thing you want to know about. Well, the 117 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: number one thing we're watching is I want to see 118 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: on there. What I'm most interested in is the early 119 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: voting now and how much we've seen, how much of 120 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: those votes have gone to how much some of those 121 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: votes will have gone to Jeb Bush. Frankly, um, but 122 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: if this. You know Rubio will commodore tremendous pressure even 123 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: in the coming days, even before Florida to sort of 124 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: think about his position in the race. He is going 125 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: if Ted Cruz wants to sort of have the strategy 126 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: of making sure Rubio exits. Donald Trump is probably gonna 127 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: wein with Florida. Michan, We've gotta leave it there, Megan, 128 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: thank you so much.

For the Republicans, Donald Trump won 147 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: contests in Michigan, Mississippi, and Hawaii.
