Trump telling the crowds, there is no way thats going to happen. He spoke to nbcs Hallie Jackson and said he hopes the party will come together behind his candidacy. It would be nice if the republicans stuck together.

And amy holmes, political analyst, aid and speechwriter to former republican majority leader bill frist. She, alison and anand will be locked all morning in a competition for best hair. We invite everybody to vote online, sundaytoday. Welcome back. Good to see you. A lot of you are here last sunday morning, waiting to go on, we got this terrible news out of orlando. We had a week or so to digest it. Anand, ill start with you, there have been so many people pointing so many fingers. What caused this, what should we be talking about, terrorism, we should be talking about the way the fbi monitors people, homophobia, guns, there is this stew and everyone seems to have a cause and reason why it happened. What is this a story about to you . I think one of the remarkable things about this story is how many story lines, how many of the american story lines today it had in it at once and we still dont know the full measure of all of them. It certainly has a story about terrorism and radical islamism, i think it has a story about manhood and abusive man, i think it has a story about guns, i think it is a story about homophobia. But, to me, what happened right afterward risks eclipsing the tragedy, which is an exploitive speech right afterward by donald trump a day or two afterward that i think will go down as one of the most dangerous and unamerican speeches by an american nominee in my lifetime. For the benefit of the viewers, which part of the speech bothered you . It is first time someone of that stature essentially targeted a group of americans and linked a specific terrorist act to an entire population of people. And said, we need to keep that entire population of people out of our country. It was very deft, very clever, hes smarter than a lot of his critics think and he very carefully used language to telescope back and forth between specific people who committed specific crimes and a faith, world, entire countries, entire regions, going back and forth in his language. I think 50 years from now, people may not remember the orlando massacre for good or ill. That speech will be taught to our grandchildren. We shouldnt be surprised anymore, but i guess i was, in the immediate aftermath of the shooting on sunday how quickly people run to their cultural battle station. Everyone has to stake out their positions and talk not about the 49 people that died, but about defending their spot. I took off my reporter hat and became a civilian because i think i shared with some of you that the next day there was a gun incident outside of my sons school and his school, the kids had to shelter in place because someone had taken out a gun, were not talking about the mean streets or anything here, this is a Public School and were there. One reason i think people are going to their outposts is people dont know what to do, but the thing i think is there could ever be any sort i dont want to say silver lining, but anything productive out of this, this has become so far reached that you have different communities, lgbt, parents, africanamericans, can all coalesce together and unite to really Pay Attention and get active about something in a united way. We have been disparate, five fingers on a hand make a fist, right . If there is anything productive that could come out of what happened is that disparate groups, because it is everywhere, it is outside of Elementary School and Greenwich Village and in a black church in South Carolina that were having gun issues that perhaps we can get some movement, maybe were there, maybe were at that moment. Amy, i consider myself an optimistic person by nature. I dont want to sound defeatist. But is the country capable of having a conversation about these incidents . We talked about after sandy hook, if it wasnt going to change after sandy hook, when, god, would it ever change . Not just talking about guns, but about how we talk about these things. Right, and it feels like a lot of people are talking past one another. And when we talk about what was the story on sunday, i would add to that list, the 49 people who lost their lives. And that each and every single one of those people has a story. When i read them, when i see their photos, you know, it chokes you up and it makes you feel emotional. I would hope in solidarity with our fellow americans, one of the things that has been disappointing for me is to see how quickly we fractured and did go to our battle stations as you put it and tried to come together to try to find some reasonable, sensible solutions where we can all find consensus, one area i think we need to focus on is national security, law enforcement, it was frustrating to me that our fbi director said that at this point he cant see what the fbi would do differently. I would say, well, 49 people would actually ask you to maybe, you know, change your approach here. So having that conversation, and also i think acknowledging that people of goodwill and good faith can have different opinions, but we have to have at least some marginal, some baseline trust in one another that were trying to find solutions. Anand, you mentioned donald trump, he had a difficult week, even outside of orlando. Some new polling coming out showing him trailing hillary clinton, bloomberg had him down 12 points, other polls, 6 points. When you look inside some of the demographic numbers in this Washington Post poll, it is pretty staggering. The unfavorable view africanamericans have of donald trump is 94 . Remember, he promised on the campaign trail he would win 20 or 25 of the africanamerican vote. Hispanics, 89 unfavorable numbers. How does he dig himself out of this, if he does . I dont know this is an easy thing to dig himself out of. I think if you run lets call a spade a spade, if you run an ethnic nationalist Political Campaign and it is really gone from being a dog whistle ethnic nationalist campaign to pretty explicit ethnic nationalist campaign, it is hard to win over the nationalities and edy ies a ethnicities on the other side. It is still pretty high for that kind of strategy and people have been saying for a year this kind of strategy could never get you these numbers. I think there is a story here also about a lot of people coming into the process, who are actually animated by an ethnic nationalist campaign. So i wouldnt be so sanguine about that strategy having no shot. I think for the Republican Party a kind of white strategy is not a great 50year plan. It may be good enough for right now. He has said, and he just told Hallie Jackson yesterday, alison if the party is with me, great, if not, i dont need them. I didnt need them in the primary. I dont need them now. Is he right about that . Ive been reading paul ryans twitter feed and there is no mention of donald trump, like for miles, talking about the Republican Party and its values, as sort of, like you said, a dog whistle of were not necessarily going to talk about that guy, that guy who we brought into the Grocery Store and is knocking pickle jars off the aisles, but you got to clean it up. Hes in your party. I, you know what, donald trump makes me do this i dont know. Maybe he can. Hes proven so many people wrong about so many other things. Amy, let me play a sound bite for you, trump speaking on saturday at a rally in phoenix, comparing himself to a supermodel. Check it out. I feel like a supermodel, except, like times ten, okay, its true. Im a supermodel. Im on the cover of the magazines. Im on the cover of the biggest magazines i dont even know about it. I cant even read the story because if i did, i wouldnt get any work done. The larger point is his celebrity is so big, he doesnt need anybody but himself to win. Yes, and hes also not a supermodel. I think going on the record with that, yes. I think we can establish that. I dont think hes right. I dont think that the data we have so far would support his analysis. He got it is true, he got the most votes of any republican contender for the nomination in history. He also got the most votes against him. And in the final analysis, we there was some, you know, early speculation and he was touting this and bringing new people into the Republican Party. That turns out not to be true. And that overall turnout in the democratic and republican primary was about equal and the republicans who voted for donald trump were already registered republicans who had voted in previous elections, just not in primaries. So donald trump does need those republicans and he also needs the center and a little bit of the center left if he wants to get past 50 . There is an establishment fantasy they somehow pry the nomination from his hands. Quickly, anybody see that happening . No. I would say if there is any chance of that happening, the person to me who could play a role now for the Republican Party is john mccain. A real moral leader, a person who has braved things worse than losing an election, and who now seems unable to muster the courage to stand up for what he said is his own aversion. Tough reelection and even back in 2008, he was not by conservatives. In the abstract would you want that to happen, the person who gets the most votes, you want them to be the nominee.

The outpouring of love showered upon the grandmother of one of the victims of the pulse nightclub shoot shaegs flew to orlando this week to attend the funeral of her grandson. Upon hearing the womans story, jetblue Flight Attendant kelly davis karros discreetly went up the aisle of the plane asking passengers to put their signature on a note of support. Instead, the passengers wrote pages and pages of notes, prayers and condolences, all presented to the grieving woman. The plane held a moment of silence for her grandson omar. Our first low goes to prince williams 90th Birthday Party etiquette. In a clip that burned up the web this week, Queen Elizabeth in lime green is seen reprimanding her grandson for not standing at attention during the trooping of the color parade, part of the celebration of the queens 90th birthday. William, preoccupied with young george in the moment snaps to his feet after a tap from grandma. Royal watchers noted the face palm from george after his old man was called out by the queen. Our next high flew through the air over a candlelight vigil in orlando this week. One woman was there mourning the loss of a friend, she snapped a picture. She counted exactly 49 birds matching the number of victims killed inside pulse nightclub. The photographer wished to remain anonymous but passed along this message, there were 49 birds, my friends, the fallen were with us tonight. Our next low comes from the pile of rubble off the vegas strip that used to be the Riviera Hotel and casino. A relic of the citys rat pack and mobster era. After 60 years in business, which included liberace as the first headliner and dean martin as a one time owner, the riv went to the great strip in the sky after a big public demolition. The land where it stood was bought for the expansion of the Las Vegas Convention center. Man, if that rubble could talk. Gratuitous demolition video. Whats wrong with me . There should be a Youtube Channel of just demolitions. Probably is. 100 probably is. Of course there is.
