That issuey to hear again and again. While at the same time, trump lays out his vision for the u. S. In the world. Mr. Trump america, first, will be the major and overriding theme of my administration. John what that means and how thats different. And john, Ted Cruz Kasich scour the playbook for anything that might help them block trumps nomination. Goes one step further.

Once again, live from washington, sitting in for gwen ifill this week, John Dickerson news. John good evening. It was a good week to be a frontrunner. Swept all five of the republican primaries, in island,cut, rhode maryland, delaware and pennsylvania. He now has a more than lead over his closest competitor, ted cruz. Hillary clinton one four of those five states, losing to rhode island. In secretary clinton were going to imagine a tomorrow where hard work is honored, families are supported, streets are safe and communities are strong and where love trumps hate. Forward. Lets win the nomination and in a unifieds return as party. Thank you so much john clinton has a more than pledgeegate lead among delegates which grows to 800 if you add her lead in super delegates. That inspired real talk from Bernie Sanders. Senator sanders i am very good arithmetic and i can count delegates and we are behind today. John wishful thinking. Senator sanders but you know what, unusual things happen in help, weand with your are going to win the pledged help,tes and with your super delegates may well reach the conclusion that Bernie Sanders will be the strongest trump. Te against donald john jeff, Bernie Sanders is making it sounds like hes got a shot. Does he . Think as the week comes to a close, he knows he does not. Optimistic Bernie Sanders, still trying to allow his many supporters and he does many supporters, you know, the idea that they should still vote and their vote Still Matters but they know here isight that the pathway essentially closed, albeit, some catastrophic event happens, quite frankly. So they know the dream has sort of ended but the democratic race full circle. E i think this was the most consequential week in the campaign since iowa, everything coming together as we expected on the democratic side. You can see divisions in the Sanders Campaign throughout the week. Some people wanted him to go forward and fight and others know, lets dial it back a touch, i think hes been wrestling with that. Hise seen jane sanders out, wife. She is his closest adviser, top adviser, without question. Dissentes been some internally. He has huge rallies, bigger than else, other than donald trump, so why arent they winning . Primaries,re close maybe not totally fair, but hes running as a democrat. As of this weekend, he knows it is essentially over and we heard him yesterday in oregon talking about how he can change the party, how he can influence the platform. So he is not going after hillary as he wasarly as much just a couple of days ago and not even slightly as much as he weeks ago. E of john so, lisa and there were mixed signals. Night, he was talking about everything but Hillary Clinton, suggesting hed out a press he put release saying he was in it to phrase shed the used in 2008. What would he want, now, if he in all the way through . How might it look if hes moving now . A different phase lisa part of the issue here is wants to get out of the president ial race particularly has an have money and he awful lot of money and the money keeps flowing in so he has enough to continue doing this so he stays in through the end of the primaries. Whether he goes all the way to notconvention or not is totally clear. Obviously, the clinton folks want him out of the race as soon only to , not john they cant rush it. Lisa they cant. Thats exactly right. Him out of the race in an open way would look really bad for them because theyre issue of bringing sanders supporters back in the fold and the question is how do you do that and then the question is what exactly does Bernie Sanders want and nobody answer to that yet. Im not even sure senator sanders himself knows the answer to that. He want to lead a movement . Does he want a position in the Clinton Administration . To see butis harder thats the signs were all watching for in the next couple of weeks. Whether the california race, does he fight hard there . A unity momente for them . What does that look like . And president obama, the white house, has made it clear that they will not get into the race until senator sanders is completely out. The Clinton Campaign wants to get the president in the race to have thatager happen as soon as possible. John if Hillary Clinton reads shess you two do and ready to move on to the general election, she has changed her focus a little bit. Today shes also hired staffers for the general election in new hampshire, florida, all purple states. How is she turning to the general election . Did it first and foremost by going back to her break andaking a planning on how to take on donald trump and im told that aes fine with this period of month of Bernie Sanders staying in the race. It gives her some time and space. Nearly asspending much money as he planned in indiana. He scaled that way back. The Clinton Campaign on wednesday was the first day since august that they did not on tv anywhere in the country so they are fine with this sort of break period they need time to ramp up for the general but they are watching him very carefully. They certainly dont want to lose in california. She would limp to the nomination they are transitioning and i think that she signaled sort of on donaldap to taking trump in an interview she did jake tappernn can and she john im going to interrupt you. Interview. T jeff even better. John lets play that interview you. Ell come back to secretary clinton remember, i have a lot of experience dealing with men who sometimes reservation in the way they behave and how they speak. John just a little context there. What shes talking about is donald trump said shes only gotten as far as she has in life a woman and she was spending to dealing with people like donald trump. Jeff she was. But she left open for perhaps heron, experience dealing with men but i think shes made very clear, thatast in this interview, she is going to take at least high road atteady this point and show people shes president ial. Shes not going to get into the mud with donald trump. I think shes perfectly capable of doing that as this race goes but i think at this time her campaign is going to remind every voter exactly what he has said. We saw Campaign Video out this week really running through a laundry list of everything he has said throughout the course of the last six or nine months or so and thats what theyre be doing. John lisa . Democratically, the attack plan against trump breaks into three pieces. Credentials, is this the guy you want with his finger on the button. Controversy, all the controversial statements hes and women andinos his business record, is he the be sossman he purports to youll see the lines of attack coming out. Debuted this week was do you want his finger on the button. Democratictrong response to his Foreign Policy speech but all those attacks secretary clinton taking the high road which her her to dontend for but dont you think thats going to be hard. Impossible. Lisa hell make it as hard as possible. John she did respond on the womens thing. Me in on playing the womens card and they issued an actual card so they seem to that littleaving fight right now. Lisa yeah, they think thats a nott thats good for them only, of course, with female voters who make up a big part of constituency but they also see an opportunity to independents and traditionally republican voters, particularly republican women. Out byen data put democrats saying they think 20 of republicans could be persuadable to voting for Hillary Clinton over donald trump so that goes right at the in columbus or aurora, thats who theyre aiming that at. John well talk about Donald TrumpsForeign Policy speech but you wrote a piece about Hillary Clinton and her time as aover candidate. Do you think this primary fight shes had with Bernie Sanders has made her a better candidate . Indira i think she has to make of lemons. T she has to say its made her a whatr candidate and thats the campaign has to believe has happened but factually i covered her in 2008 she was not a strong candidate. Shes a better candidate now than she was then. She still has some of the same ticks. She still can be quite wooden on the campaign trail. Tends to revert to talking about policy. She cares a lot about policy. Her passion. She would say im being passionate. A robot but meng talking about healthcare and children and Social Security and the things i care about it but she talks about it in a very kind of this is my 10point plan for paying for samege which is not the inspirational speech which we were used to from candidate and which a lot of Bernie Sanders supporters have responded to. What i focused on is how different she is once shes actually an official in office she is as a candidate. What weve seen in 2016 is shes campaignback to hillary whereas for four years i covered her as secretary clinton differents a very person much more confident in her skin, much more comfortable, and more able to rile up excite people and really have crowds eating out of the palm of her hand. Was, they werent american crowds but people overseas. To unlearn the lessons from secretary of state. Pivot to republicans. Set the stage for us in the republican race. Is donald trump in as good a clinton in hillary the democratic side . Jennifer interestingly, as generaleparing for the election, he, this week, for the first time said im the nominee so how prepared is he for the general election . We checked on that. Are someout that there pretty basically organizational Building Blocks his campaign is lacking. Have any process in place to vet a Vice President ial candidate at all. Have a fundraising operation in place to raise money for the general election and that could be a billion he needs to raise. And so this was 30 days into the his new chief strategist, paul manafort, charged with bringing professionalism to the campaign. Manafortsup on paul first 30 days and it turns out there are some people within the made an who think he has big difference. He has imposed a more regular meeting schedule. Budgetinged the somewhat from month to month to a more longer term. More money and hiring. Hes got a policy shop hes rating in washington, d. C. Many things hes doing. Others in the campaign say, look, if we had just waited, if mr. Trump had waited, i think donald trump still would have hadthe last six states he won and perhaps we wouldnt have needed to restructure the campaign because winning is all so i thinkaken people will be looking in the coming weeks as he goes around presumptivehe nominee, how much bandwidth does he have to deal with not only butting the primary fight the general to turn that way. John we saw that donald trump did very well in getting the then ted cruz outmaneuvered him in the delegate selection process. And knows the kind of inside game on that. In the general election, can you does donald trump have a magic that makes some of those things that you found hes not for not matter . Or are they really going to matter . Structure . D that jennifer i think he definitely needs that structure to do the getoutthevote effort. He has gone around saying im going to win democratic states pennsylvania, maryland, delaware. Theres a lot of skepticism manafort hast paul said hes got that unique donald trump magic and perhaps he can White Working Class voters to make a dent in the general election. Alienatedle say hes women and hispanics to the point that he cannot recover but who trump whatdonald hes going to change and turn election. He general i was struck when he was in indiana. He was going through the list of he thinks he can be competitive and focused on talk to and if you democrats in michigan and pennsylvania and other places, theyre not laughing at donald trump anymore. Those days are so over. Potentiallys bringing new voters into the electorate so maybe some states nevada,of reach colorado with a High Percentage of hispanic voters but some of the White Working Class voters, he could get them and they know that and Hillary Clinton is not beloved. Shes entering the primary fight with her negatives arent as high as his but shes not nearly bethe position she hoped to when she was secretary of state when she came out are a robust approval rating. Her highest Approval Ratings i looked at the last 25 years of Hillary Clintons you wontatings and be surprised that her highest Approval Ratings were at the the Monica Lewinski scandal and at the end of her time at secretary of state. All through four years as secretary of state she was above 60 Approval Ratings. Now thats virtually flipped buttists thinking about what was thinking about what you said about the woman Card Campaign thinks they can pull off republican women but the interesting thing is key that women in america vote at a higher rate than men do and women are at favoring hillary over donald trump. Thats an advantage for her. Hillarytrumpthe race will be so interesting because it could scramble the math. Donald trump has a pathway through the rust belt, through were midwest, if she has a pathway. If its Hillary Clinton versus donald trump, i talked to people the Clinton Campaign yesterday and they were telling me maybe we would think of arizona,eriously in maybe wed think about georgia. The map could look different. See republicans break clinton and some sanders supporters go for trump. Its an unusual year. It could get more unusual. John let me ask you about that to get behind donald trump because after his was actories, there little bit of acceptance happening within the Republican Party moving behind donald trump. Tell us a little bit about that. Jennifer you did see some members of congress endorse him week. He got three new members of sessions,o join jeff his only u. S. Senator. But he also got a governor, he mike pence of indiana. Indiana is a makeorbreak state coming up next week. Then john makeorbreak state for the stop trump movement. Jennifer exactly and for ted well, as he wants to really continue on but then you fromthe antiendorsement former Speaker John Boehner from neighboring ohio. Ton who compared him lucifer. If thats not the that was weakest coffee endorsement, not the double endorsement. Said im going to vote for ted cruz but i really like hes doing aand great job. The one im surprised about is the reaction senator bob corker gave after Donald TrumpsForeign Policy speech because bob corker is someone ive covered closely and in 2008 on the Senate Foreign relations a conservatives republican and when he replaced lugar in that position, we said whats going to happen to the republican side. Over the last several years, hes actually worked pretty the obamath administration on a number of things, including the iran deal. He didnt stop it even though he was unhappy with it and to have and say, i liked a lot of what i heard of donald speech, that was a surprise. John lets listen a little to trump speaking this week about Foreign Policy in this speech. Mr. Trump its time to shake off americas Foreign Policy. Its time to invite new voices visions into the fold, something we have to do. My Foreign Policy will always interests of the American People and american above all else. Has to be first. Has to be. John indira, what did you make of the whole speech . Indira it was incredible, in that room. E he had about 100 guests who were the foreign part of policy establishment, people who were former republican members reagans cab nat. We had National Security adviser mcfarland in the audience and the Russian Ambassador was in the audience. Theme of speech the which was America First. He used those words. Any student of history will remember America First. That was the 1930s in america, the isolationists, who into worldt to get war ii, who were essentially that movement and went strongly until the bombing of pearl harbor. He then said that the Foreign Policy of the Obama Administration was bad, very terrible, the worst ever policy was going to bring in the best ever policy, using his simple language, stitching lines from all of his stump speeches and sort of into his Foreign Policy speech. He said his Foreign Policy will be the first coherent foreign the coldnce the end of war, however, its also going to be completely unpredictable so i sat there scratching my head andking youre coherent unpredictable at the same time . Militaryell make the stronger but were not going to use the military unless we well bey have to but tough on isis but well only fight wars if we can win. Whats a lot of saying everyone wanted to hear, something for everyone. John whats the point of this that vague . s you saw the flags in the background, what was he going for . That camethe message through to voters was that twoword slogan, America First people responded to that. You saw it on social media, people loved it. Jeff what was striking to me, were at the end of april, hes nominee,e republican that was his first Foreign Policy speech. Generally in president ial campaigns, people have laid out Foreign Policy before so the his that he was giving first really substantive speech. Did it really lay out Foreign Policy . Jon . More than John Ted Cruz picked carly president. Vice will that help him . It changed the flow of information. Shes popular with donors. Her. Lican women like it did do something to change the conversation and to put cruz forefront again so it didnt hurt. Counterpoint to the woman although he said, she sings with my girls, he like anade her sound aunt. Throwing everything against the wall. He has to winninnin. Win in indiana, so lets all up against the wall including carly fiorina. Five weeks until california, eternity in politics, anything could change. Jeff it could but the math is where it is. This a longve done time to go to stop trump. John we have to end it there. Thanks to all of you. That wraps it up for us tonight.
