Bloomberg politics. Com, for the 2016 tracker, always has the president ial race. Until tomorrow, thanks for watching. Sayonara. Coming up, hardball with Chris Matthews. Trump is the boss. Lets play hardball. Good evening, im Chris Matthews in washington. You know who the boss is when you cant start without. Any way, donald trump made that clear. No more debates, and there will be no more debates. He cleaned up with four of the five contests, narrowly edging out ted cruz in missouri and North Carolina. John kasich with the first win in his home state of ohio. Trumps overwhelming victory in florida knockout below to marco rubio. He announced last night he was suspending his campaign. Today, one of his top backers, nikki haley is supporting cruz for the nomination. Despite the loss, the frontrunner has opened up a wider lead over ted cruz. He him talking about trump. This morning, donald trump said he would not participate in the Republican Debate that had been scheduled for this coming monday in salt lake city. Kasichs Campaign Said he wouldnt participate without trump, which forced fox news to cancel the debate altogether today. Any way, trump also warned there would be riots, thats the headline tomorrow morning, at the convention if it did not give the nomination to the delegate leader himself, automatically. Lets watch trump in action here. I think well win before getting to the convention, but i can tell if we didnt, were 20 votes short or 100 short and
were at 1,100, and somebody else is 400 or 500, were way ahead, i dont think you can say that we dont get it automatically. I think would you have riots. Riots. Well, thats going to be the had he had line tomorrow. Michael, im joined by msnbc political analyst, robert costa. Michael, thats a hell of a threat. Its a threat. You dont give it to me, im the frontrunner, forget the majority, you give it to me or im going to, well, he would encourage riots. I dont know if there will be riots on the streets, but certainly pandemonium on the floor. Theyre been inching on this possibility for some time now. Unrest among a lot of delegates about how they perceive the National Party and those within it sort of trying to structure the deal away from trump. So theyre going to come to this
convention loaded for bear, which ive been trying to raise the yellow flag, careful how you approach it. If donald trump is 100 delegates away, it would be very hard to take it away who is sitting at 600 or 700. Thats his central argument. Its one the delegates are going to hold the convention to. Let me ask you, robert, was he being hyper bolic . Was he saying pandemonium, people arent going to like it or it will get physical . He is reflecking what he sees at his rallies. The crowds are for trump. They think that the establishment wants to steal the nomination. You got Trumps Campaign right now working with veteran republican consultants, guys like ed brookover skam ovcame om the campaign. You got lewandowski, maybe trying to get on the rules committee, once cleveland comes
in july. They are watching the others. Kasich is hiring his own people. Guys like stu spencer who worked on the Ford Campaign in 76. This looks like a collision, then, if they wont accept him, and he wont accept denial. Its a collision. This is going to be a fight for the future of the Republican Party. A lot of campaigns. The rivals are saying, look, if trump is nowhere near 1,237, thats not enough. Its about getting the coalition together. You see people like nikki haley going to cruz today. If its cruz kasich, someone else, there is some kind of coalition that could be brokered. A lot of chat about a second ballot. You have the former speaker of the house talking about paul ryan. Paul ryan threw some cold water on the idea of being that candidate, fwlu is chatter out there each and every minute. Any way, politico reports theyre gathering tomorrow to
plot a third party against trump. Exit polls show that if trump and clinton are the choices in november, 29 of Republican Voters in florida for example, would consider voting for a Third Party Candidate. Michael, whats worst for the Republican Party . Trump gets the nomination, everybody stews about it, or he doesnt get the nomination, walks out, starts a bull moose party, and the residual is worth what . I just wonder. Or, or the third scenario, chris, is that these people having the meeting tomorrow, actually find someone, a mitt romney, paul ryan or someone else to run as a Third Party Candidate in the fall. None of those situations are good for the party. I think, though, in the end, cooler heads have to prevail. Donald trump can be worked with. He can be negotiated with. Deals can be struck with him by the leadership of this party. Should he become the nominee to work out a strategy coming forward. He is making the overtures now
with the hill. He is making the overtures with state party officials, the rank and file, because he recognizes his success will be dependant on them as their success is going to be dependant on him. They have to get past this crazy talk about a third party and all of this nonsense of trying to defeat him and just let the process unfold, if he is the nominee, work with him to defeat hillary. Thats the bottom line. Well, robert, the problem with that, it sounds logical, trump doesnt work if he is not trump. If trump becomes a mouthpiece for the establishment Republican Party for the ben ginsberg and charlie blacks, et cetera, if he starts talking with debra proof, hell sound like any other hack out there. He doesnt want to do that. He is not really doing it. He is expanding his circle. Trump is a phone call guy. Loves getting on the phone, doesnt use email. I hear he was calling around the senate today. He is starting to build relationships, even if he is not hiring people on board. I got some fresh report in the last few minutes about this meeting tomorrow. 8 30 a. M. , washington, d. C. , a group of a few dozen
conservatives. Theyre going to start looking about a third party bid. One name i keep hearing, chris, senator ben saas, nebraska. Even if it lets hillary get the white race by a split race, he could be a standard bearer for are the hard right. Who are these people, they got cigars, what kind of a meet something this . So far into mod den politics. Online, what are they in social media people . Are they actual Government People who have been elected as governors or senators . No elected officials. Freedom caucus members of the house. The their aides are coming, conservative movement, part of the meeting as well. Government by blogger. Thats an improvement over what you had . It seems like trump beat the
Republican Party. He didnt join it. He beat it. Like sander cos have done it, didnt do it. He beat the party. He owns it potentially, and once he owns it theyve got to accept theyve been taken over and or dont accept. If not, they have to walk out. This is basically what this is leading to. My question is, you know, ben saas is a great guy. Im sure brings a lot to the payable. But what does that say to ted cruz . You know, where does all this conservative support for ted cruz go . Exactly. Youre going to create friction within the conservative movement itself by pitting saas against cruz. This is so silly. Let the thing play out. Let trump run his race, let them run their race against him, getting to the convention, let the nominee emerge. This is not the way to do it. I wouldnt know ben saas from a quart of wood. Any way, trump today attacked Hillary Clinton, whatever a cord of wood looks like. He hit Hillary Clinton with an instagram, a former secretary barking like a dog. This may be new low grade trump. But lets watch. Well,s that clip of secretary clinton was pulled from a story she told in nevada last month about a radio ad in arkansas. Here is what clinton said in the actual context. One of my favorite political ads of all time was a radio ad, rural arkansas, where the announcer said wouldnt it be great if somebody running for office said something, we could have an Immediate Reaction as to whether it was true or not. Well, weve trained this dog, and the dog, if its not true,
he is going to bark. Then the dog was barking on the radio. We need to get that dog and follow him around and every time they say these things, like or ex, oh, the Great Recession was caused by okay, robert, that was pretty low, treating her like a dog, lets face it, what theyre up to there, in the world of sexism, that would be pretty high up, i would say. Just because they took the ad and cruelly made her look like that. You see how it blew up on twitter. You see how it blew up on social media on the right. I mean, trump, he has he is viewed by a lot of conservatives wi by suspicion, this edge he has and these kind of instagram ads and videos, they like it. When you talk to party officials, there is a sense because of this edge, he may be able to bring the Party Together because of the way he hammers
clinton on these issues. Well, to quote carly fee r, o Everybody Knows what he meant. There is a reason youre laughing. Hillary clinton goes five for five at the big state primary last night. Tightening her lock on the nomination. Thanks in large part for women voters. For that, she may want to thank donald trump. Thats ahead. Plus, president obama dares the republican to stay no. He has chosen today a safe Court Nominee he could pick. But Senate Republicans are digging in, saying they wont consider any nominee until the next president is sworn in. Well, can president obama win this squeeze play of his . As the republican establishment braces for a convention fight, where does the antitrump vote go now that is he pulling away. Finally, the round table tells me something i dont know. This is hardball itself, the place for politics. The right one for her . Is this really any better than the one you got last year . If we consolidate suppliers, whats the savings there . So should we go with the 467 horsepower . Or is a 423 enough . Good question. You ask a lot of good questions. I think we should move you into our new fund. Sure. Ok. But are you asking enough about how your wealth is managed . Wealth management at charles schwab. Well, just hours after his state primary last night, rick scott has endorsed donald trump for president. Governor scott writes, quote, if we spend another four months tearing each other apart, it will damage our ability in november. An end for the republican on republican violence. Its time for us to begin coming together. Weve had a vvigorous primary. Donald trump won with 46 of the republican vote, beating home state senator, marco rubio, who was away down at 27 .

Thank you, florida. Thank you, North Carolina. Thank you, ohio. We are moving closer to securing the Democratic Party nomination, and winning this election in november. Welcome back to hardball, that was Hillary Clinton, of course, last night claiming victory in florida, North Carolina and ohio. It got even better. She also swept the entire evening, one expected victories in illinois and missouri, where she is also the apparent winner. Her string of wins padded her and becoming the democratic nominee for 2016. In her victory speech, she turned her sights to the frontrunner republican, donald trump. Our commander in chief has to be able to defend our country. Not embarrass it. Engage our allies. Not alienate them. Defeat our adversaries, not em bolden them. When we hear a candidate for president call for rounding up 12 million immigrants, banning all muslims from entering the United States, when he embraces torture, that doesnt make him strong. It makes him wrong. Well, Political Correspondent for the washington post, david, Washington Bureau chief for mother jones. Let me ask you about last night. It seems like last night to me. Im sitting out there in cleveland for seven, eight, nine hours. I was thinking rarely do politicians surpass what theyre going to do. I was hearing from one of her people, you all know very well, were going to have a hard time, missouri. They pulled that out, even. Yeah, i mean, the lowering of
expectations game is a scam on us . In part, i mean, they all do it to a degree. I think they thought they were going to lose missouri. Sanders really thought he was going to win it. And illinois seemed to be on the bubble. She did much better than expected in ohio. They thought they were going to win ohio, but she did better than they thought. She was Walking Around with a ball and chain on. She had rahm emanuel, bernie was on fire, and she still won five for five. Amazing. After winning michigan the week earlier, we thought there was a template being set. And the polls didnt count. On trade issues, and working class economic issues. She and Bernie Sanders had been tussling over for weeks, seemed to be paying off for Bernie Sanders. And it didnt work for him last night. I think this is the audience, women and even girls, some of them, young people, and i just think there is something happening. This is my hunch. Late last night, it came to me. What was the big visual story last week. It wasnt her, it wasnt bernie. The horror around trump. The racial fistfighting, the tearing the scab off americas racial history, right in front of us. People hate to think about it. Women especially said none of that, and went to her. You may well be right. Certainly, Hillary Clinton has been waiting for sort of Donald Trumps true colors to reveal themselves or for people to decide theyve had enough or something. Weve all been waiting for something to happen with the trump phenomenon, and it hadnt happened yet. Look at these numbers, according to the exit polls, women made up 60 , three out of five who voted in florida. Of course, women tend to live longer, unfortunate fact for men. Clinton won 68 . You do the math of 68 times 60. In ohio, 56 , hillary won 63 . Huge percentages. Trump was never going to approach the kind of numbers on the republican side with women that she was going to be able to do in florida, and certainly, not with hispanics. Tell me, i want it out of your mouth and brain why are women, or would they be turned off potentially what we have been watching in this country. I cant speak for all women, but certainly what we see in polling, and some of the exit polling last night suggests that women particularly and older people generally certainly older women, hear some echoes here. They hear things that theyve heard in other parts of American History that they dont care to relive. That is certainly the case with older africanamerican voters, and many people, echoes of another time and another continent. Thats what i think. They looked like thirld world. Theyre saying that now. People are saying theyre
hearing arresting Hillary Clinton if he wins. Thats so third world. Im going to arrest president bhoto. It sounds like that. Democrats have been holding focus groups, and about donald trump, and they find that women have a visceral reaction to him. They recoil at him. Use phrases like he reminds me of my abusive exboyfriend. They really dislike him. In the last week, what you talked about, i was talking about this earlier, it is causing some democratic voters to say i may like bernie, i may like Hillary Clinton, she may be a better choice in the general election. This is what we fear, racial, horror. Attacking donald trump. Here he is. The reason that donald trump will never be elected president
is the American People will not accept insults to mexicans, muslims or women. The American People will not accept a president who insults our veterans or who several years ago, led the socalled birther effort, which was an ugly, ugly attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the presidency of barack obama. Well, go bernie. Because thats the kind of campai campaign that would help hillary. She is certainly hoping that assuming she is he is a barn burner. He can do many things, frankly, that she cannot, in
terms of drawing an ee norm mouse crowd, keeping them fired up. He knows how to build the rhetorical crest and all of that. The birther thing, you know, thats great stuff. The conductor, he looks like he, i think we should score music. Im just saying, the question raised in the papers this morning, your paper too i guess, can he continue without hurting her. If he goes that way, he can. This is his decision to make. You talk to his advisors today, as people around here have done, and they keep saying here is the path, we can win the next few states and bring it to california and win california and squeak by her. Can you do that with a relatively antitrump . I dont think you can do that by sticking to the high road without really mixing it up with hillary and bringing her down. This is the big decision that he and his team have to make relatively soon. That do you think his
motivation is . He has had a hard time. He was hoping to have a political revolution. Beat her in these industrial states. He had a bad night last night. He was hoping to have a moment last night that would build on michigan, that would show a path that would show a clear way that he can keep going with a real rationale, and at least a plausible or almost plowsable argument that he has the momentum to be keep going. So now . So now he got stuck. He got stuck last night. He is not going to leave the race for any time soon. Why would he . The longer he stays in, the more leverage, the more ability he has to effect the out come. Will he go negative on her as the kind of as that path. Permanent. Which is why robby mook, the cam pa Campaign Manager said today that sanders had spent all this money
and didnt get any where, in ohio, and that had run a negative ad that backfired. Bernie still gets a lot of credit for changing the tone of the campaign, pulling Hillary Clinton towards enough about the emails. And so, you know, he has gotten a lot of what he has wanted. He has affected, an independent socialist senator from vermont who has shaped the whole National Political discourse. Thats tremendous. He probably wants to do more of that. I dont think he cares about a cabinet position. Her camp has to figure out how to deal with the truths that has emerged, and grab the neo cons that need a new home. Theyre not going to be for trump. Or let the republicans split. That could work for her too t wouldnt be good for the country. David corn, thank you, ann, thank you.

The Federal Reserve left Interest Rates unchanged and rate hikes to the year from four to two. Now back to hardball. Welcome back to hardball, where the battle has begun with
president obama over the nomination of judge mer recogni Merrick Garland, they set up a blockade, saying they wont even offer courtesy meetings, who was introduced by president obama in the rose garden. At a time when our politics is so polarized, at a time when norms and customs of political rhetoric and courtesy and comedy are so often treated like theyre disposable, this is preadvipr precisely the time when we should play it straight, and the seriousness and care it deserves. Because our Supreme Court really is unique. Its supposed to be above politics. It has to be. It should stay that way. Judge garland currently serves in the United States court of appeals for the
district district of columbia, Senate Majority leader took to the floor to denounce obamas decision. Here he is. It is the president s constitutional right to nominate a Supreme Court justice. And it is the senates constitutional right to act as a check on a president and withhold its consent. It seems clear president obama made this nomination, not, not with the intent of seeing the nominee confirmed, but in order to politicize it for purposes of the election. Well, its a squeeze play between the white house and Republican Leaders who vowed at the start of the term to thwart at every turn. Kirk, pat toomey in pennsylvania, all in tough fights to keep their seats right now. Joining me now is richard blo
bloom bloomenthall. It puts these five senators i mentioned up for reelection in purple states on the hot seat. How do you force them to force their leadership to allow true consideration of this nomination . Well, i think first of all, chris, you have seen a number of senators, including senator collins, who actually said today she has to do her job. She has agreed to meet with this great nominee, judge garland. You have senator flake has agreed to meet with the nominee. I think as the people of the country get to know judge garland, here is someone who gave up a fancy job in a law firm, in a room without a window in the justice department, rose up to oversee the two biggest criminal cases of the last century, the uni bomber, and the Oklahoma City bomber. He has ab in incredible reputat. I know several of these, i was
there for the last two confirmation hearings, several republicans have said to me, even when they voted against justice sotomayor, kagan, when you start seeing the republicans that have voted for him before, senator mccain, senator hatch, colins, cochran, i mean you go through the list, a number of them still in the senate, it will be hard for our colleagues not to even meet with him, but have a hearing. You dont have to vote for him. But at least give this great public certificate vanlt t Public Servant the hearing he desearches. You already have the issue. You have the issue. Youve got a very qualified candidate, who should be given consideration, and probably confirmation at normal times. How do you get a confirmation, 60 votes, when theyve set up a barricade against any nomination, even up to the point not even meeting the new
nominee. He is, as you have said, em th qualified. The position that the majority leader has taken is simply unsustainable. As a former law clerk on the United States Supreme Court and a prosecutor, who has argued four cases before the court, i have immense respect and reference for the court. That sense is shared basically by the American People who will heed the president s sentiment that the court should not be dragged down into the ordinary muck of partisan politics. Here is the essential point. The American People are fed up with washington, because it cant get things done, because it shoulds down the government. Because it is gridlocked, and here, again, the republicans in fact are shutting down the government effectively, and i think that will really resonate in some of those races that you mentioned, chris. And i think that they will in
turn, those in danger or at risk republicans will see the folley of this stance, which will only guarantee a more progressive justice appointed by the next president , if judge garland is not confirmed. Thats interesting. So the republicans will get someone they like much less. For months, republicans raised the rhetoric on the nominee fight, senator Lindsey Graham said in february of this year he wouldnt even vote for himself. Lets listen. I think we should let the next president decide. The person i admire the most is me and if you nominated me, i wouldnt vote for me this year. Roy blunt say the nomination should be stalled until after the president ial election this november, insisting even if the president nominated my daughter, who a lawyer to the Supreme Court, the American People ought to get to vote and decide they would like to see my daughter on the Supreme Court. Senator back to you, it seems to me that when republicans want to do is that one big roll of the dice, the voters should pick the president picks, what the senator just said no, were seeing a shut down of the judicial branch, just like the legislative branch shut down by people like ted cruz, now going to another level, escalating the shut down to the courts. Its i just dont know you get to 50 republicans who arent up for reelection to move. It looks like he wants to be where is he at. Two thirds of the American People want to go forward and have a hearing. The president noted that today when we were in the rose garden. Two thirds of the American People. You look at history, go back to 1916, always been a hearing for a president ial nominee, since weve had hearings. And so i think you have history on our side, you have the public on our side. Now you have an excellent nominee. And the people are going to say come on, youre not going give
the guy that supervised the Oklahoma City bombing cases, this esteemed judge, youre not going to give him a hearing. I detected that today when the president put forward judge garland and he stood before that Beautiful Day with that sun shining down and he shochoked u bit. He has not only been nominated for this incredible job, but he actually has the burden of representing this simple notion that we have an independent judiciary, and our job as the senate is to fund them, to make sure that we advise and consent under the constitution. But we are not supposed to stop that branch from functioning. Youre right. He also came across as a mench. A nice guy. Choking up was not faked. Thank you. Still ahead, trump wins big last night, kasich hangs on and cruz, well, thats not hard for him. He says hell keep up the fight. The republican establishment unhappy about their frontrunner now, where do the antitrump

welcome back to hardball, donald trump keeping up the drum beat, making the case that this is his nomination to win and if the party tries to take it away, there will be a revolt, a ri yac riot p. I think weve had enough debates, 11 or 12. I did really well in the last one, i think ive done well. According to drudge. How many times can the same people ask you the same question. So i was very surprised when i
heard that fox called for a debate. Nobody told me about it. And i wont there, no. Short time later, the Kasich Campaign says essentially if trump doesnt show, neither will kasich. By this afternoon, the Republican National committee and fox announced the debate has been canceled. Meanwhile, the frontrunner, trump, says if he falls short of delegates and they deny him, there could be riots. Thats the words he used. Joining me now, april ryan, Washington Bureau chief, ruth marcus, washington post, franchesca. If i were donald trump, he wouldnt want to debate again either. It consists of them beating up on him. Trump university and all these other things. What about saying there will be riots, like at the nomination. I dont need to have the majority, he is saying. I think its true, there are a lot of people in america who supported donald trump, who would be very upset if he got that close to the nomination, and then john kasich tried to swoop in and take it from him on the floor, which kasich is being open about, like thats his plan. He is not being he is not hiding it, chris. The picture attached to it. We know what a riot looks like, at his rallies. We know what they look like at conventions. We do not want i mean, we, america should not want that, and american candidates for president s should not be encouraging that. Have you ever seen the approximatic tures like south korea, democracy. In the parliament, yeah. Its like a hockey game. I guess we had canining. We saw very early on when he started speaking, a homes man
was peed and spat on. For what . Because they used the name donald trump. This is was for donald trump. Early on, a couple of months back. Look at what is happening. The words are getting stronger. Not when trump was around. No, not where trump was, a couple of months back. Turning on the ugly. There is a portion of america that is giving into the ugly side of themselves. And unfortunately, you know, when i hear from the secret service covering donald trump or watching him and watching these rallies, theyre saying there is anger there. They were saying this before the South Carolina primaries. Okay, takes two to tango, or whatever. Takes two to tango as well whachlt do y. What do you make of this, he hasnt been winning, thats just his numbers out there, were going to bring in paul ryan. Are you kidding me . Thats an insult for every voter who has shown up. We have to find somebody that hasnt ran. Trump should not be
encouraging or imagining riots. The Republican Party like all parties, 1,237 delegates, if he short, its legitimate to have a when has that ever happened . Well, weve been looking for it for years, right, but the republican in 52, come on, last guy that ran the primaries, and beat stevenson. The point that youre making is that, kind of want somebody who has won some delegates who emerges as a potential kasich, exactly the kasich argument, which is that i have won a lot of the delegates, so i should be considered. Or the argument that maybe theyll come together and possibly make some sort of a deal here. I thought it was really interesting, today, though, that john kasich was asked about that right. Will they be talking and working together to start the situation. He said im not a political
operative. Im just a candidate. Kasich has a point. He can talk right now, because he has gotten 66 delegates. Ohio was a big win for kasich. Trump wanted that. Trump wanted that. Kasich had a target. He wanted it. What will it get him, hud . It might. Much more at the round table ahead. This is hardball, the place for politics. Jay knows how to keep nice shorts, dad. G. This is what the pros wear. Uhhh. Thats why he starts his day with those two scoops in heart healthy kelloggs raisin bran. Ready to eat my dust . Too bad i already filled up on raisins.

And six is greater than one. Complete allergy relief or incomplete. Let your eyes decide. Flonase. 61 changes everything. Youve finally earned enough on your Airline Credit card.

Now thats more like it. Whats in your wallet . Were back now with more on todays Supreme Court announcement from president obama. For weeks Republican Leaders had vowed to block any nomination president obama put forward, and they are standing by that commitment. Today, now that the president has chosen Merrick Garland for the post. Senator patrick leahy, the ranking member, democratic member on the Judiciary Committee said today that kind of blind rejection fits a pattern. What theyre saying is the president didnt win the election last time by 5 million votes. This is the same kind of thing weve heard from them for all these years. The president really wasnt born in hawaii. Come on. Stop the nonsense. Stop the games. Lets start following the constitution. That was like Clint Eastwood saying, feeling lucky . Anyway, april, ruth, francesca are still with with me. Do you think people look at this as a boot in the face to the president on the racial front . First hes a birther, not legitimate, now were not going to give him a chance to name a supreme Court Nominee. I call it blacklash. Hes the first black president. Theres a segment in society, some on the hill who dont like the fact hes there and he almost finished his term. They dont want him to have a legacy piece. What this president is doing, hes put forth a conservative, someone who is fitting more so for the job, more so than fitting. He dealt with issues in Oklahoma City. That was one of our first terrorist attacks on the ground. He is capable. What the president is doing, hes trying to humiliate the gop because if they dont put forward his nominee or talk to him, they look back. Hes a prosecutor, not an aclu lawyer, this guy. It may go too far to call him conservative. Prosecutorial background. Hes very judicious. Hes not liberal. Not as liberal as thurgood
marshall. I have to disagree with april on the racial component here with all due are respect. Okay. I have zero doubt if barack obama were barack obama with an apostrophe Barack Hussein obama. Youre getting into the fact that tomorrow is st. Patricks day. Indeed, it is. My last name is ryan, so im irish, too. There you go. Accept you completely. The republican obstructionism that im not endorsing, i think its outrageous, would be just as forceful. I think it has very this one has very little to do with skin color and everything to do with politics. You do believe what april just said, they really feel the bars been changed, like it often is accused of being changed for black people, just to change the rules. Tea these are not the usual rules. This disdain they have for their appointment. We can all agree theres a change in rules. Theres an ugly aspect to this, dismissal, just dismiss the guy, youre not going to get
to pick a supreme Court Nominee. They were going to oppose whoever he put up, whatever color that person was, they were going to oppose whoever that was, could have been black, could have been hindu why didnt he go with a black woman . I think its an excellent question. I think part of it is because that person was never going to make it on the court. Neither is this guy. Why would he make it on the court because of race no, because republicans would have pushed back. This at least preserves those options potentially if Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders a lot of policy. Were to win, anyone else could still potentially be on the court. Anything the president does, whatever side hes on, theres always guile. Hes going to make the republicans look bad. Anyway, the roundtable is staying with us.

President obama understanding the racial component when it comes to this nomination for the Supreme Court pick. Right after he was in the rose garden, he met with a group of leaders, union leaders, africanamerican leaders, h hispanic leaders as well as asianamerican leaders in the roosevelt room to once again reaffirm the reason why he chose Merrick Garland. Which was . Because he stands the test of time and because of his background and thats what hes saying. He understood, he took letters from the constituency like the
congressional black caucus, black womens roundtable asking for a black woman or an africanamerican. Ruth . Republican senators who are up for reelection are already thinking about their version of triangulation which is that they are going to need, if donald trump is the nominee, in particular, to separate themselves from the prospect of a President Trump and instead of embracing the top of the ticket, theyre going to argue that it shows the importance of retaining a Republican Senate in order to be a bull work, yagaint yes, you got it, president clinton. In races when we have a president ial leblelection 9 0 the time Bernie Sanders Campaign Says its only halftime in this race, that only half of the pledged delegates have been given out. Theyre going to move westward now in areas they think senator sanders will do better in. Idaho and washington they say are looking very good for them as well as utah so its not over
