Can cruz stay viable . Hillary clintons camp the hand she is dealt. Woman card, what do republicans think. The assertion that she has 5 of the population is ridiculous. Who does he think the rest of the supporter also go for. Him . I still believe he is still playing the theatrical card. Lets talk, live in the cnn newsroom. And good morning, i am carol costello, thank you for joining me. Donald trump in california. The primary Battle Ground looming on the horizon, but street fights erupt outside. A standing room only crowd, pours out of the event and into the rath of protesters. Police on horseback and in riot gear try to break it up, vandalism and arrests and emotions boil over. Phil mattingly has more. Good morning. Good morn, carol. Something largely dissipated over the last couple of weeks, violence and protests, but theyve been concerned about over the past couple of months. What happens when you get to california, a very large, politically complex state, with a lot of focus and emotion on Donald Trumps central element of his campaign, immigration. Obviously had a lot of fired up supporters inside his rally last night. But no question, very raucous protesters on the outside. Chaos, breaking out, outside of a donald trump rally last night. With hundreds of protesters taking to the streets, clashing with drivers, smashing with indoi in windows, facing out with Trump Supporters. This fight leaving this trump fan bloodied and bandaged. Get down. Police on horseback, struggling to contain the demonstrators. Were going to win, win, win. Inside, donald trump riling up a massive crowd. Look at the size of this place. Taking aim at his rivals. Lyin ted cruz, we know lyin ted, right. She is crooked as you could be. Crooked hillary. Have you ever seen a guy eat like him. And keeping his eye on next tuesdays high stakes primary, in indiana. The big poll is going to be on tuesday in indiana. But i was all over the state today with bobby knight, and i love bobby knight, and they love bobby knight, and lets see what happens. Indianas biggest paper blasting trump on thursday. Calling him, quote, a danger to the United States, and to the world. Whatever is necessary. As millions, ted cruz mincing no words. Common sense and good judgment. Hoosier state, the one thing that stands between us and plunging over the cliff. Even as top gop figures start warming to the idea of trump as the nominee. Generally speaking, i like what he had to say. This, as former House Speaker john boehner condemned the main rival, ted cruz had a College Forum with the harshest words yet. Lucifer in the flesh. I get along with almost everybody. But i have never worked with a more miserable son of a [ bleeping ]. Cruz, firing back, using boehners disdain to try to bolster his case. If youre happy with john boehner, speaker of the house, you want a president like john boehner, donald trump is your man. Carol, for ted cruz and his campaign, indiana really a makeorbreak state. Theyre moving there, camping out over the next couple of days, attempting to spin John Boehners worlds to their advantage. Look at this, basically is the republican establishment attacking ted cruz. Something that at least what weve seen in the republican primary, electorate up to this point, should serve as an advantage to use that with Carly Fiorina, potential running mate, they believe they have an opportunity to close what has become a small gap in the state. Still, as you look at the delegate totals, a lot of ground to make up. Indiana the first step. If the step isnt taken, donald trump has a clear path to the nomination, carol. Phil, reporting living this morning. Thank you. Jeb bush breaking his silence for the First Time Since dropping out of the president ial race, and speaking exclusively to cnns jamie gangel. Calling for a contested convention with ted cruz as the victor and warning his fellow republicans about donald trump. I dont think he is a serious person. You havent changed your mind . No, ive seen nothing, the speech, you know, recent speech about Foreign Policy was you cant i dont know which donald trump to believe, the one that read from a teleprompter, a speech that was inside the lines, or the one that wants to build a wall and make mexico pay for it. Or a 45 tariff on china, or abandoning nato, or saying its, you know, it would be a smart thoing have japan and korea go it alone and build their Nuclear Capability to deal with china. Which donald trump is the one thats expressing these views . There is two of them. And i think we need a president with a steady hand. It sounds like you wouldnt vote for him. I hope i wont have to be faced with that dilemma. Until i am, im not even going to think about it. Bush was also remarkably candid about what went wrong in the 2016 race, and whether he would run again. Wow, i mean, i dont think about it too much. Ive concluded that whatever mistakes i made, and i certainly made them, probably wouldnt have changed the outcome. Do you think youll ever run for politics again . Who me . Ive learned to never say never, but you know, this was my chance. This was the chance, and i ran into a storm. So lets talk about all of this with scottie hughes. She is the National Political for Radio Networks and surrogate for the trump campaign, along with Georgia Republican congressman and ted cruz supporter, bob barr, welcome to both of you. Good morning. Good morning. Scottie, lets start with you. Well get to bushs comments in a minute. Lets talk about the violence at the trump rally. There were police helicopters, cops on horseback. They were trying in vein to keep trump for teres and supporters separated. If he is elected president , he will have to unite the country. In light of what we saw last night, can he possibly do that . Oh, absolutely. Here is the thing. Last night was very disappointing to watch the footage of. You have to remember, its not the trump protesters jumping on the police cars, not showing respect, and starting these fights. Trump supporters are going into these rallies, 30,000 of them in cosa mesa california, somebody they want to vote for for president. They want to be part of the political process. In turn, theyre getting intimidated, theyre getting these threats of violence. What we saw last night, the chaos come against them. They are the victims in this case, not playing the victim card but scottie, you are playing the victim card. This doesnt happen at other large rallies for other political candidates. Why does it happen at trump rallies. Why are we demonizing the trump rallies. No matter if they disagree with him or not you have channece, for as ma protesters, violent, disrespectful, there were 30,000, ten times that number on the inside that were wanting to be apart of the process, peaceful people, who love i dont think there was 30,000 inside the room. According to mr. Trump, 30,000 people attended the rally last night. You have to say, tens of thousands, have attended the rallies across the United States, that are motivated because of the words and honesty out of mr. Trump and a trump administration. We should not continue the this, when the crimes being committed last night outside. Thats being committed against the Trump Supporters. That should not be tolerated. Thats a sure thing. Bob, what are your feelings about this . It is a real shame when we see violence erupting at a political rally for whatever candidate. The fact of the matter is, that mr. Trump is anything about a uniter. Even last night, he simply cannot behave magnamously. He is operating a fantasy world, his supporters, you just heard one, he is going to unite the country. Obviously, he is not. Now, mr. Trump can go around and dance around and say you know, im the presumptive nominee or im the king of switzerland. Saying it so, doesnt make it. There are a lot of people attending the voting booth and the conventions in california and indiana who doesnt subscribe from the shoot from the hib procedure that mr. Trump portrays. They want somebody who is actually understands international affairs, who understands the Economic Issues this country is facing, who doesnt insult people, and who comes up with constructive solutions, which is exactly what senator cruz and Carly Fiorina are bringing to the people. Well, along those lines, bob, i want to pose this next question to you as well. Winning indiana is crucial to ted cruz, but sources are telling us internal polling shows cruz now trailing in indiana by 8 to 10 points. Some say john boehner put his finger on why when he called ted cruz lucifer. Why is ted cruz losing ground in indiana, bob . We dont think that he is. These polls in every state leading up to and sometimes the very day of the primary are way off. What ted cruz is doing with now Carly Fiorina as part of the team is working the ground game. The grassroots. Not worrying about huge rallies, but going before the actual people who will be voting, and the internal polling that ive been privy to is very different. Is it going to be close . Yes, its going to be close. But we believe strongly based on the real numbers that senator cruz and Carly Fiorina will win in indiana. And then move on to california, where there are dozens and dozens of delegates, very much up for grabs. Scottie how do you see it . Its funny he talks about delegates. It is a corrupt system, a rigged system. Congressman barr, arent you a delegate to the convention this year . Yes, ive already getting nasty calls from your Trump Supporters. Are you going as a cruz delegate. Sure i am, i am a strong supporter of senator cruz. Thats the thing. Who won the state of georgia overwhelmingly. The fact of the matter is, the georgia delegation will vote for mr. Trump on the first ballot, which is according to the law. Now, you only thats includes you, correct . The fact of the matter is, the laws in each state provide for delegates to vote on the first ballot at least for the winner of the primary. That will happen. So that means youre actually going to vote for mr. Trump on the first ballot because thats what the you dont understand the process. No, i do understand the process. You dont. I do understand the process. You dont vote per se for a delegate. It is the delegation at large that does. After the first ballot, i intend to vote for senator cruz. After the i have to leave it there. Thanks for doing the work for me. I appreciate that. Thank you. Scottie and bob, thank you so much. Still to come, youve heard him say is it before. Donald trump loves and cherishes women, but do they love him back . Up next, cnn sits down with a group of republican women voters to find out. When i say donald trump, whats the first word that comes to mind. Powerful. Scary. Danger are us. No way. Divisive. You know when i first started out, it was all pencil and paper. The surface pro is very intuitive. I can draw lightly, just like i would with a real pencil. Ive been a forensic artist for over 30 years. I do the composite sketches which are the bad guy sketches.

So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine. I talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you.

Gearing up to deliver the keynote address at an awards breakfast for inner city kids after a two daybreak from the campaign trail. One of the questions, will she take aim at mr. Trump after his repeated attacks that she is playing the quote, woman card. Those comments a fierce backlash, but republican women as well. Cnn randi kaye sat down with a group of con certificate testify women in indiana. Thats insulting, regardless of how you feel about Hillary Clinton to imply that her background as a u. S. Senator and secretary of state give her zero qualifications. And trumps assertion that only hillary would only have the support of 5 of the population is ridiculous. Who does he think the rest of her supporters would go for . Him . I dont think the comments are helpful to him or his campaign. However, i still believe he is still playing the theatrical card. Im scared to death of a person setting that sort of tone. Some in the group said they would still support trump, even after comments he made to howard stern years ago. The men were talking about women in the beauty pageant trump once owned. First of all, she is unbelievably short, and im a little surprised, think that the boob job is terrible. They look like two light bulbing coming out of a body. I call it cocktail talk, and he doesnt know any better. Its another way to get people to watch the pageant. Ladies, cant believe youre excusing his behavior as the world of business or as good old boys network. I mean, those are the exact justifications used for Sexual Harassment for years. To use the word boob several times, thats not promoting the pageant. These comments would not prevent you from voting for donald trump. No, they are not. Brenda is disgusted by all of trumps comments about women. But is still considering him for president. Is there anything he can do to win your vote . Were smart. I mean, were really smart. We understand policy. We understand whats necessary see for the country to move forward. We understand economic development. Start speaking to us as partners. Thank you, everybody. In the end, though, trump may drive some of these republican women to vote democratic. If donald trump is the nominee, would any of you consider voting for Hillary Clinton, voting democratic . No. Molly says yes . Yes. I am undecided of what i will do in the fall if trump is the nominee. So you may actually vote for the other party . I may. Randi kaye reporting there. Clintons campaign cashing in on what trump calls the woman card. Her Campaign Offering these cards to supporters who donate to her coampaign, a real live pink card. Twitter saying 20 after your income and the government makes all your Health Decisions for you. So lets talk about this. I want to bring in cnn political analyst and editor and chief, john avalon. Also joined by juana summers. You heard the women in randis piece. This is a big risk, for donald trump and the republican nominating contest. A bigger problem in the general. If you look at the mop both he and Hillary Clinton could clinch the nominations and set up a situation where you have the woman who could be the first female president of the United States on one hand, and the other hand, a man who believes eyebrow raising or outwardly sexist things about women. Women are a huge driving point. They could decide the general election. So i wonder if well see donald trump and his surrogates and staff, he might change his tone, he might play a different part during the general election, i wonder will that entail perhaps naming a woman as his running mate. Changing the language, he is running a risk, not the thing he probably wants to be talking about or that his Campaign Advisors and strategists want to be talking about, rather than locking up the nomination and moving ahead to the partys convention in july. John, lets not pretend, he has been masterful at reading the public. This strategy could work, right . What strategy are we talking about here . Insulting the majority of the american voting public . Let me put it to you to this way, john. Some have suggested that trump has to go against her gender, because he cant be perceived as a statesman or u. S. Senator, strip her of credibility. Thats what im talking about, john. I mean, whoever suggesting that should be fired and not just for ethical reasons. Look, you know, the election is going to come down to demographic math. You need to build broad coalitions beyond your base. Right, thats basic. So any strategy, quoteunquote, that would somebody already under water negatives with huge growing democratgraphics and de to double down doesnt understand math let alone demographics. You though binders full of women was bad. This is worst. And already, i mean, already, republican women are going to have an interesting decision based on Hillary Clinton and the historic nature of potentially the first woman president. But you add that with the candidate who seems to have hardboiled in him, comments and a history of comments, calling secretary of state essentially an affirmative action candidate, no, no, no. Those
