And change their worlew. lau welcome to the meet the press big dance, and what were calling trumpatology. Donald trump is receiving a buy while john kasich and ted cruz fight it out for the rest of the season and end up splitting the antitrump vote. Trump is able to come away with the majority he needs and he wins the nomination, game over. In bracket number 2, we start with the same standings. But in this scenario, cruz catches fire and wins enough delegates to deny trump the 1237 that he needs. So we move to an overtime. And an open convention. Trump delegates eventually abandon trump and cruz emerges as the conservative compromise choice in a buzzer beater. In bracket number 3, this is our sinner ella story. It looks familiar at the beginning. Cruz, kasich, trump, they all compete. Of his magic number of 1237. And again, we head to an open convention. But in this scenario, we go to overtime and we go to multiple ballots. We go to double overtime, actually. In neither case does cruz win the majority and the nomination ends up going to, how about that, somebody not running. Probably House Speaker paul ryan. More possible than you might think. Who is going to have their one shining moment in cleveland this july . Its something that we have a whole rest of a primary season to figure out. Well be back in a moment with the battle over the Supreme Court and the two leaders of the senate, Mitch Mcconnell and harry reid.

Senator mcconnell, i started my interview with harry reid with a similar quote from him back during the bush years too. Essentially you guys have changed places in your position on Supreme Court vacancies. And it seems to me the only difference is the Political Party affiliation of the white house. Well, there was no Supreme Court vacancy in 2008. Here, chuck. You have to go back 80 years to find the last time a vacancy on the Supreme Court created during a president ial Election Year was filled. You have to go back to Grover Cleveland in 1888 to find the last time a president ial appointment was confirmed in an Election Year. The election is under way. What we are using is the biden rule. 1992, when joe biden was chairman of the judiciary committee, he made the point that a vacancy, had it occurred in 1992, would not be filled. Harry reid, when he was leader in 2005, pointed out the senate had no obligation under the constitution to give a nominee a vote. And Chuck Schumer in 2007, 18 months before bushs term was up, said if a vacancy occurred, they wouldnt fill it. Were talking about Supreme Court vacancies. In each of those occasions, democrats for having that position. And frankly, thats what were seeing here. It feels like theres hypocrisy on both sides. Democrats essentially dont want to confirm a Supreme Court justice if republicans are doing it, and republicans dont want to confirm a democrats. Isnt that what were staring at here . Nobody has been entirely consistent. Lets look at the history of it. It hasnt happened in 80 years and it wont happen in this year. The principle involved here, chuck, when an election is under way, when joe biden was talking in 1992, the American People are about to weigh in on who is going to be the president. And thats the person, whoever that may be, who ought to be making this appointment. You know, you said something, about, three months ago, you said, my view is just because there is an election coming up doesnt mean youre not supposed to do everything. Weve had an election every two years right on schedule since 1788. So i guess, when does a when does a president lose his authority to make appointments, in your view . The senate has been quite active. This year we have another year which we have a great chance of passing every single appropriation bill for the First Time Since 1994. The senate is not doing nothing during this election season. But were not giving Lifetime Appointments to this president on the way out the door, to change the Supreme Court for the next 25 or 30 years. Let me get you to respond to a criticism that george will has thats all over the papers today. And youve probably seen it. But he doesnt much care for your strategy here. He writes this. Conservative george will. The Republican Partys incoherent response to the Supreme Court vacancy is republican rationalizations for their refusal to even consider merrick b. Garland radiates insincerity. What do you say to george will . When youve got a nominee that moveon. Org is extremely enthusiastic about, and multiple articles pointing out that if judge merrick were in fact confirmed he would move the Court Dramatically to the left, i disagree with george will. I dont think its a good idea to move the court to the left. But thats not really the issue here. Its not the person, its the principle. Who ought to make this lifetime appointment . Are you completely ruling out a lame duck scenario if Hillary Clinton wins . Yes. We wont be confirming this person to the Supreme Court. Even if Hillary Clinton nominates somebody more liberal than Merrick Garland . It would be hard to be more liberal than Merrick Garland. Its my hope she would on the part of the be making the appointment. Are you comfortable with donald trump as your partys im going to support the nominee. I have a responsibility to supportny support my partys nominee. What did you mean when you said privately you could drop him like a hot rock . Do you think its appropriate for your senators to run against him if necessary . I think weve got a bunch of senate raisesces in purple states that are very competitive. Each of those rates will be crafted very differently. Every one of those races are going to be individual standalone contests with people who we think have a great chance of winning in november. And if that means running away from donald trump, that should be their strategy . I think every campaign will have a different strategy to appeal to different kinds of voters that we have in different parts of the country. One other final thing. Donald trump is having a meeting with various Republican Leaders tomorrow in washington before he speaks to aipac. Are you going to be participate no, im in kentucky. He did call me last week. We had a good conversation. All right, senator Mitch Mcconnell, i will leave it there. Thanks for coming on, sir, appreciate it. Thank you, chuck. When male pundits sayh al. Bees trees . Eese.

Our panelists are here, jose diazbalart, molly ball, joyann reid, and robert costa. I want to pick up on what i teased before. Molly, here is what dana milbank wrote. The criticism is the same as in 2008. Likeable, she doesnt inspire. If she cant plausibly offer pie and the sky and cant raise her voice, how does this inspire people . This hurts with young voters, the same segment that shunned clinton in 2008. This is a male writing this. In some ways shes being graded on a different set of rules in her style, and this holds her back. Fair . I think its very difficult to parse what qualities are specific to Hillary Clinton and what qualities have to do with gender. Theres been this criticism that women are more subject to commentary on their appearance. Political science has constituted it and its not true. Men and women get comments on their appearance at the same rate, and it doesnt hurt for women to get comments on their appearance. A neutral woman, a madeup woman in a Political Science experiment, is viewed as a little more trustworthy than a the system, and theres some positive stereotyping about a woman. Weve never had a woman president so theres not a mold there, theres not a stereotype we can fit her into. Older women, joy, see some of the criticism against Hillary Clinton and truly get offended. Barbara mikulski said, many of we women feel that theres a double standard. Whats being said about hillary is whats been said about centuries. Senator feinstein, menwomen go through a magn
