years ago i worked for a guy that not enough people remember, they should, guy vander jackson was the creator of the modern, political campaign committee he arrived in 1966 and lost the republican primary 92. he talked about a guy who understood the institution, because he was involved in campaigns across the country, he was a very consequential legislator, deliver the nomination speech for ronald reagan at the 80 convention, he's a pretty cool guy and his ability to tell stories and recount the institution, his observation, i used to call him moses because he got his right to the edge of the promised land , had he not lost his 92 primary, he would have been elected as an rcc chairman and what had the opportunity to be here at the creation of the modern republican majority. he probably did more to bring it on than any single guy. but you pick up some of it listening to members and some of it reading. >> when when you read some of these older biographies about lyndon johnson, gerald ford, to ever say to yourself, the house work that way anymore. >> occasionally do, obviously the house

look at quote from bob vander platts, former cruz supporter and obviously a very prominent name in this community, president and ceo of the family leader. he says to be clear, the meeting is not fund-raiser nor political rally. it is not endorsement of donald trump. nor do i plan to leave the meeting with an endorsement announcement. so reluctance there, julie but maybe he will be won over. >> look, he may be but if you look at donald trump and way donald trump is operated in his personal life and also his professional life over many, many years he has been in the public eye he is not exactly evangelical cup of tea, right? whether marriages or infidelities, over and over. david's point is the most salient point that donald trump to them, if not me, it will be hillary clinton. hold your nose and vote for me. as you point out there is huge, huge enthusiasm gap other candidates on the republican side haven't experienced i think ted cruz would never experienced from this community. that is something trump really does need to contend with if he is successful in november. martha: i think one
