REPORT.
A GRAVE WARNING FROM THE TOP OF 
HIS OWN PARTY.
THE NEW EDITION OF TIME 
MAGAZINE, A DRIPPING ORANGE 
CHARACTER OF TRUMP WITH THE WORD
MELTDOWN, REINCE PRIEBUS HAS 
GIVEN HIM AN ULTIMATE MANY 
THEY'LL FOCUS ON SENATE AND 
HOUSE RACES, INSTEAD.
TRUMP HAS CHARGED INTO ONE 
CONTROVERSY AFTER ANOTHER.
ZEKE MILLER IS THE ROEPORTER WH 
BROKE THE STORY.
HE JOINS US WITH MORE.
HOW WORRIED IS THE RNC?
>> GOOD MORNING, CAROL.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
THE RNC IS VERY WORRIED ABOUT 
THE STATE OF DONALD TRUMP 
CAMPAIGN RIGHT NOW.
NOT SO MUCH THE CAMPAIGN AS THE 
CANDIDATE.
THEY'RE VERY UPSET HE CAN'T STAY
ON MESSAGE DAY-TO-DAY.
HE GAVE THE ECONOMIC SPEECH ON 
M
MONDAY AND THEN 27 HOURS, MAKE 
THE COMMENTS ABOUT THE SECOND 
AMENDMENT.
THEY'RE SORT OF -- IT MAKES IT 
HARD FOR THEM TO PLAN AND 
THEY'RE WATCHING THE DECLINING 
POLL NUMBERS, AS WELL AS SORT OF
THE LITANY OF THINGS HE HAS SAID
OVER THE LAST TWO AND A HALF 
WEEKS.
BASICALLY HAVE TOLD HIM, IF YOU 
WOULD HAVE GONE TO YOUR GOLF 
CLUB, YOU WOULD BE IN A BETTER 
POSITION NOW.
IT IS HURTING YOUR CAMPAIGN BUT 
ALL THESE OTHER CANDIDATES.
WE'RE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, NOT 
THE TRUMP PARTY.
IF PUSH COMES TO SHOVE IN THE 
FALL, THEY'LL WORK TO HELP 
REPUBLICAN
MAGAZINE, BECAUSE YOU DID REACH 
OUT TO MR. TRUMP, MR. TRUMP SAID
REINCE PRIEBUS IS A TERRIFIC 
GUY.
HE NEVER SAID THAT, ASKING WHY 
WOULD THEY STATE WHEN I'M 
RAISING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR 
THEM.
SO HE IS RAISING MILLIONS OF 
DOLLARS FOR THE RNC AND FOR 
OTHER CANDIDATES, REPUBLICAN 
CANDIDATES RUNNING THIS TIME 
AROUND.
SO WHY WOULD THE RNC SAY SUCH A 
THING?
>> YEAH, WE WENT BACK TO THE TWO
SENIOR GOP OFFICIALS WHO GAVE US
THE REPORTING AND THEY CONFIRMED
IT AFTER MR. TRUMP MADE HIS 
DENIAL.
IT IS CLEAR THAT DONALD TRUMP IS
RAISING A LOT OF MONEY THROUGH 
WHAT IS CALLED A JOINT 
FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE.
THERE IS ABOUT AN 80/20 SPLIT 
BETWEEN WHAT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN 
GETS.
TRUMP WILL KEEP THE 80%, THAT'S 
WHERE THE VAST MAJORITY OF WHAT 
HE HAS RAISED IN THE LAST COUPLE
OF MONTHS HAS GONE.
BUT THE 20% OF THE RNC PACKAGE, 
THAT'S GOING TO THE FIELD 
PROGRAM ON THE GROUND AND WHERE 
IT GOES IS ULTIMATELY THE RNC'S 
CONTROL.
DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T CONTROL 
THAT.
GIVEN THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT 
GROUND GAME, THAT'S GOING TO BE,
YOU
