both for bush, you vote for clinton, now you have a third choice. >> governor bill clinton, the democratic nominee. >> presidential debates are not only a show. they're a series of moments. the key is dominating a moment that can then be put on the morning shows, the evening news, recycled. now a days it would be going viral. >> clinton's team are leaving nothing to chance. >> we got stools. you know like the ones they would have to sit on. and we practiced setting up like a runner in a starter's blocks. don't sit back. sit up like this, one leg on a rung, one foot on the floor and as soon as you can spring out of the chair, spring out and go engage that audience member. >> we said there will come a time where you can walk up to somebody and really relate to them and that's exactly what you want to show the american people. >> we were so obsessed, that -- sorry to admit this now, we stole those stools. >> that's right. they stole the stools. >> when we got to the debate hall. we took the ones that we were going to use, we put our stools out there. so that even his rear end would be comfort

the president was much more confident. >> governor clinton -- >> governor clinton -- >> governor clinton promises the moon to america, while the sky is falling in on arkansas. >> the polls narrow. in little rock, carville creates a command center to hit back at the republicans. it's called the war room. >> they made sure that no attack wasn't answered within the immediate news cycle. >> and he wants to raise taxes by $150 billion just to start. >> when bush would say you raise taxes, clinton's answer was -- >> on agriculture, on taxes, on jobs, on defense, you name it, he just makes it up. >> bill clinton has promised to increase government spending $220 billion. >> you knew what the attacks were going to be on. you prepared for them. you were ready to go. >> bill clinton has accused george bush of lying about his record. >> we had trackers, we knew what bush was doing, where he was going to be. >> mr. bush is in tennessee once again. grossly misrepresenting my record and positions. >> carville has circled the wagons around his candidate. >> with a month to go, bush knows he has to knock

the clintons' business partners? >> what the press was pushing for at the time, and i was a part of it, was to see the clintons' whitewater documents, but hillary clinton was very much of the camp, no. we don't give in to our political enemies. this is being driven by our political enemies. and as a result, the perception they were hiding something began to take root. >> i happened to be at a conference where hillary was speaking in 1994. i followed her into the ladies' room, and she knew me, and she let down her hair. and she said, i don't know what to do anymore. everything i do turns bad. >> in early 1994, the clinton white house agrees to the appointment of an independent counsel to investigate the matter, and that was a fateful moment in the history of the clinton presidency. >> her legal friends tried to persuade her to, you know, be more friendly. be forthcoming with information. talk to the members of the press. you can trust. no. so it was hillary's penchant for secrecy about bill clinton's background, about

hillary clinton is not bill clinton. what bill clinton did, i this i we can all acknowledge was totally totally totally disgraceful and unacceptable. but i am running against hillary clinton. i'm not running against bill clinton. >> reporter: it was said the trail is tough and even the people most known for communicating not always at their best under such scrutiny and constraint. seeing the former president yelling at these protesters in philadelphia was absolutely the most unusual thing to happen on the trail this week and that is saying a lot. you saw a day later he gets out there, feels he should use the word "apologize," saying he almost feels like he wants to, but clearly not apologizing. martin and christi? >> all right. thank you so much j let's talk about this with political come menl tater errol louis who will, by the way, participate in the democratic debate right here on cnn and also democratic strategist maria cardona. thank you, guys, for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >> good morning. >> let's g

bill clinton -- excuse me, hillary clinton and donald trump know the new york culture we are talking about, which i still think exists. i know your point from earlier, but it is still a little early there. they had a plan and they went through it -- will matter a lot. we saw the shortfalls. i am not really getting at with sanders in the daily news interview and made all of those, what i would say, intemperate remarks. he was saying, the daily news, it is just a dumb tabloid. he made it to arthur brown. if you had been around new york , guys like that are kind of legend and the are getting older and not getting out to the bronx as much as they used to, but factors in the want to make an impact and they do. they know their stuff. john podhoretz: can i make a contrary argument? interview was a disaster for sanders if you assume the sanders voter cares about issues. this is the reverse mirror image of trump. they are not groaning on issues, they are voting on one thing or two things, feelings screwed, pitchforking the banks. we read december think this guy can't possibly be president. he

hillary clinton would have done well to become more like bill clinton. in that snippet he looks more like hillary clinton. i think they're going in the wrong direction, the wrong clinton. and for hero have lost six of the last seven contests to someone who's a self-avowed socialist. on the republican side we're k look and saying you think it's a dogfight on the republican side? the nasty rhetoric, the way him accusing hillary clinton of not being qualified to be president of the united states, that's pretty remarkable. i don't know that most of the republican candidates have said that so far. >> well, they have said a lot worse. >> we've got to leave it there. thanks so much, guys, appreciate you being here. >>> coming up next, we'll turn to our national lead. supporters call it a religious freedom bill. critics in the lgbt community call it nothing but good old-fashioned discrimination. just two days after mississippi passed its controversial version of the law, tennessee could become next in line. tennessee's bill would make it legal for therapists to

that is what is driving a lot of concern along the clinton -- among the clinton campaign. mark: kasie mentioned -- secretary clinton has done some tv interviews but has he done in -- adhered to the new york tradition of the traveling press since this started. abby: this morning she took the subway and before that she took some questions. she did focus a little bit more on her new york media. some folks that she is pretty familiar with after two senate runs. i think he is making a concerted effort. she talked a little bit about paying more attention to her traveling press. i think us in the traveling press would love to see more of that. she does talk to the media in general, her traveling national media less than bernie does. but i think that her campaign is focused on lake -- local and state media. which is smart. john: abby phillip, kasie hunt thank you for coming on. we have the real treatment in -- royal treatment in kansas city today. our conversation with the emperor of the planes, meier slide james. -- mayor sly james. you can listen to us on bloomberg 99.1 fm. ♪

clinton. there's no question about that. areas that she could learn from the sanders' campaign is on technology. i mean -- they appeal for people being volunteers by using email. the sanders people text people. they're using every new technology go sdwhg cliing and n people aren't there. >> how do you get a young person and they're energetic. it's so good they're involved in the process, no matter what side of the aisle you're on. how do you get them to vote for it big bad hillary who won't release her speeches, etc., etc., etc. and the big super pack. >> if it is donald trump versus hillary clinton, i don't think it's going to be a huge problem. >> i think if it is any of the current republican contenders, it's not going to be a problem. the problem is channelling that ener energy. but i think she's counting on the themes of the general election. the messages are totally different and yes, donald trump could pivot, ted cruz could pivot. but we have a lot of talk from donald trump about antimu

bernie sanders taking on bill clinton and hillary clinton calling drug dealers back in the '90s super predators. >> what are your thoughts about what he says, senator sanders? >> unacceptable. i think we all know what that term meant. in the context that it was said years ago. we know who they were talking about. >> black people. >> that's exactly right. that's who it was. >> bill clinton defends his out burst over the 1994 crime bill. >> i still think what i said was right. but i wish i had first said in the hope of being heard by her, you're right about this prison thing, we've got to do something about it. >> and snl swipe. the politics ahead of the new york primary. >> the new york city subway is the best way to get around. it's been a while. is this working? is this, i'll just go in the old fashioned way. i'll take the cab. cab is the best way to get around. >> good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. donald trump crying foul to undermine ted cruz's overwhelming success in corralling the delegates at state party conventions. can trump turn republicans against the pa

clinton is looking to end sanders' momentum fast. meanwhile, sanders rallied supporters on a coney island boardwalk and touted his victory in wyoming last night. they are just four days away now from a showdown in brooklyn where cnn will host thursday's event. in nine days when voters head to the polls, who is going to win more votes? >> that is why i need your help on april 26th, here in baltimore and across maryland. >> i hope very much that here in new york state you're going to help lead this country towards the political revolution. >> sanders and clinton still have one big opportunity to sway them. cnn is hosting a democratic debate in brooklyn this thursday. and one of the people tasked with asking them the tough questions joins me now. he is errol lewis, political anchor at new york one news. thanks for coming back on. obviously you had a big day on thursday. you're going to be sharing that day with bill clinthillary clin bernie sanders. >> like any journalist, i hope that we're going to be able to advance the conversation. a

secretary clinton? is true now that the spotlight is pretty bright here in new york, some things have been said and senator sanders did call me unqualified. i've been called a lot of things in my life. that was a first. that -- he had to question my judgment. well, the people of new york voted for me twice to be their nator from new york and -- [applause] and president obama trusted my judgment enough to ask me to be secretary of state for the united states. so, look, we have disagreements on policy. there's no doubt about it. but if you go and read, which i hope all of you will before tuesday, senator sanders long interview with the "new york daily news," talk about judgment and talk about the kinds of problems he had answering questions about even his core issue, breaking up the banks. when asked, he could not explain how that would be done. and when asked -- when asked about a number of foreign-policy issues, it could not answer about afghanistan, about israel, about counterterrorism, except to say i

but is this fight for clinton -- is a slight good for clinton or senders? john: in some ways it's better for clinton than sanders. mark: we are in the disagreement zone. john: it is the case that he went further than was merited. he got a little misled by that headline on the washington post. she did not go as far as to suggest that he was disqualified. by implication, she suggested there were questions about his qualifications and begged the answers. but you did not say that he was unqualified. omething you have to do if you are running a primary. you can't say something on camera that the other side can add against your arrival if you become the nominee. the things bernie sanders said last night are things any republican can use against hillary clinton. he went too far given the level of provocation. mark: score that way, yeah. this is to win the nomination fight. bernie sanders is behind. he needs to inspired his supporters, who are pretty easily inspired by him. and he needs to create a different mimic in the race. he is as close to criticizing as her.

clinton foundation that's what the clintons do. that's how they roll is that wrong. >> yes, i do think you are wrong. the lincoln bedroom thing for sure. i you this are wrong so far as we really have to get into the weeds here and pierce has written excessively about the clinton world and clinton cash. there is no evidence of a quid pro quo here. i'm not at all going to say there isn't a murkiness there, certainly is this is one of the things that drives her problem with the honest and trustworthiness ratings and also for donald trump as well it doesn't benefit any hillary supporter to say she is squeaky clean. she is not. but there is an evidence. >> well, there is evidence, the "new york times" reported bill clinton gets a half a million dollars from the russians and then the state department gives them all iranian -- uranium that they need. >> we cannot prove this is why that happened. peter swizzer, we cannot prove this is why that happened. >> that's where the quid pro quo is i scratch your back you scratch -- that's how it wo

bill clinton -- excuse me, hillary clinton and donald trump know the new york culture we are talking about, which i still think exists. i know your point from earlier, but still, that will matter a lot. we saw the shortfalls. i am not really getting at with sanders in the daily news interview and made all of those, what i would say, in temperate remarks. he was saying, the daily news, it is just a dumb tabloid. if you had been around new york -- and maybe they are getting older and not getting out to the bronx as much as they used to, but they want to make an impact, and they know their stuff. john podhoretz: can i make a contrary argument? the daily news was a disaster for sanders if you assume the sanders voter cares about issues. this is the reverse mere image of trump. they are not groaning on issues, they are voting on one thing or two things, feelings screwed, pitchforking the banks. they say he does not know anything, just blabbing about nothing, and yet, here sanders is having won six straight, one of primary in wisconsin. mark: in the culture of the new york media, maybe for

likewise with hillary clinton. this in your mind, dylan, really changes a lot. >> yeah, it changes a lot. i think we can pretty confidently say who the nominees in each party are going to be. the reasons again being for hillary clinton, she's practically there. for donald trump, no matter what, i mean, barring some sort of huge major change, she's going to get to the convention with at least the majority of votes on the republican side f not the full 1237 delegates. as we've seen from our exit polls, the majority, a large majority of republican voters believe the candidate who has the most delegates should be the nominee. it's going to be very hard for the republican establishment to come back and tell all those voters that their voice doesn't matter. the individual i'm most thinking about right now is bernie sanders. having acknowledged that he's effectively going to be pushing his agenda as opposed to his shot at the nomination now. the question i think the sanders campaign is asking themselves is this. how much

and hillary clinton feel that he focuses on bill clinton's record and then jumps to president obama's record and doesn't talk about president george w. bush who they believe is responsible for much of the economic crash and just skips over this long period and is just pulling out the worst things about bill clinton's record. the thing that drove them particularly crazy about the crime bill is that bernie sanders voted for that bill. >> yeah, you're seeing a lot of the frustration play out here because bill clinton wanted to go after bernie much earlier in this race than the clinton campaign has actually done. so you're seeing that element of it. but you're also seeing that sort of bill clinton from 2008 come out again, the one who sort of wagged his finger at barack obama and that backfired pretty dramatically. i'm not sure if this will particularly, but clearly -- >> that's the imminent reaction. i mean, she has acknowledged that this overshot the mark. he has acknowledged it may have overshot the mark. i mean, at a certain point, like, you need to be able to embrace that and say we

the clintons let black america down on prison reform, bill clinton went to the naacp to apologize about summing he did a crime bills. -- something he did on crime bills. more blackointed judges, so it is good news, bad news story. on the other hand, i don't like it, i don't like it when black voters are taken for granted or ignored by the other party. she learned the last time around when you expect a coronation and find yourselves in an election in the dog fight this time around. john: mark: she says president obama will be more aggressive speaking on her behalf. how big a factor to think he can be in the general election, where his approval rating is, and the has become this? tavis smiley: i don't know what his impact will be outside of the african-american community, because the numbers are what they are. the numbers are getting better. with the african-american vote, it is not an automatic conclusion that one can draw on just because a black person says, vote for this person, they will all do that. it is a huge difference obviously, but you already know this. there is a huge differe

thank you. [ cheers and applause ] >> secretary clinton. [ crowd chanting "bernie" ] >> secretary clinton. >> thank you. i am very grateful for the fact that the people of new york gave me the great honor of serving as your senator. you took a chance on me in 2000, and then you real elected me with one of the biggest margins we've had in our state in 2006. during those years we worked closely together. i tried to have your back and time and time again you had mine. we took on the challenges of 9/11 together, we got the money to rebuild new york, we came to the aid of our brave first responders, construction workers and others who endangered their own health by helping to save lives and search for survivors. we worked to create jobs despite the disastrous policies of george w. bush across new york, and we stood up time and time again against all kinds of vested powerful interests. i'm asking for your support again in the primary on tuesday to continue that work together, to take what we did in new york and to take those new york values to the white house and put them to work on behalf of a

this weekend sanders supporters showered clinton's motorcade with dollar bills, angering many clinton supporters. meanwhile, donald trump is test driving a new nickname for hillary clinton, "crooked hillary." earlier today sanders was pressed if he and the republican front-runner are essentially making the same argument. >> donald trump is very brilliant coming up with statement, it's an ugly statement. what i have said regarding secretary clinton is we have a corrupt campaign finance system in which billionaires -- >> you've gone further. you have said that she accepts this money from wall street, from big banks, from fossil fuels, and that affects her judgment. >> well, of course it does. why do you think -- >> would that be crooked? >> in that case the entire united states government is crooked. we have a corrupt system. i'm very proud that we are doing it differently. >> sanders won't explicitly call clinton crooked, he argues the whole system is corrupt and if hillary clinton is part of that system, the logic sus seem difficult to avoid. now the sanders campaign is accusing the c

and hillary clinton? >> everything to do with bill clinton and hillary clinton. because of them mass incarceration. we should have called the '94 crime bill the mass incarceration bill. it was the tipping point that started everything else. three strikes you're out. federal and state level. those are bill clinton's words. he has actually said that. he's acknowledged that federal crime legislation paved the way for states. it ensured more prisons. ensured more police officers -- >> yes, i agree. >> and i think people agree with -- i think he admits that. the secretary, everybody admits that it was a bad bill. it was a bad bill. but -- we'll talk. hang on. let's go to break and then we'll talk right after this. don't go anywhere. we'll be right back. the all-new audi a4, with available virtual cockpit. ♪ ♪usic: "sex machine" by james brown ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ he's happy.t's with him? your family's finally eating vegetables thanks to our birds eye voila skillet meals. and they only take 15 minutes to make. a

the clinton campaign saying that senator sanders has reached a new low by saying that secretary clinton is not qualified to be president. i will play the interview with "morning joe." that's what senator sanders says he is responding to. a lot of moving parts here. we have a representative from sanders' campaign on the way to the studio. >>> meantime, washington bureau chief for mother jones and political analyst david korn is with us and national correspondent and msnbc political analyst joan walsh, who has endorsed hillary clinton, is with us. david, i'll start with you here. sometimes you have to go back in time. we don't like to do that in news, feeding frenzy. but hillary clinton was on with joe scar borrow borough and was about this interview how bernie sanders could not explain how he wanted to break up the banks. this turned into what we're seeing now, senator sanders accusing her of not being qualified to be president. so far, no one can provide any tape of hillary clinton saying that about him. it sounds like back and forth, you hit me first. >> yeah. >> nevertheless it looks

sanders keeps up the attacks against clinton. we'll talk with democratic party chair debbie wasser man schultz about the state of the race. is the prolonged campaign on the democratic side hurting the party? let me know on facebook or twitter,@foxnews sunday and use the hashtag # fns. p?p?h >>> a look outside the beltway at philadelphia, site of this year's democratic convention. front-runner hillary clinton took a big step toward locking up the nomination with a sweeping victory in the new york primary. bernie sanders shows no signs of conceding and continues to run hard against her. joining us from florida the chair of the democratic national committee debbie wasserman schultz. congresswoman, given that hillary clinton seems to have a pretty clear path to the nomination now does bernie sanders need to tone down attacks and bring the party together? >> well, i actually have been very proud throughout the campaign of both candidates. you have seen in every one of the debates and then also in discussions on the campaign trail the

we started with hillary clinton, the front runner. hillary clinton is now up by how many votes? 204? 2.4 million. >> that is a meaningless number. >> but she's winning. she's winning by every metric. >> i've got to go. >> this is the phrase. >> nobody has time for anything else. thank you, everyone. thank you bakari, bill press amanda, margaret hoover. everyone. you can watch hillary clinton and bernie sanders together on stage tonight from the cnn democratic presidential debate moderated by wolf blitzer, only on cnn. >>> the east river's cold right now, but it is beautiful. welcome back, everyone. now, let's go inside the hall. there we go. that's where hillary clinton and bernie sanders are going to be debating tonight. we're back in brooklyn. in just hours, that debate will start. we're going to turn to politics just shortly. first, we have some devastating news. today marks two years since gunmen captured hundreds of girls. we're getting an indication some of the girls may still be alive. cnn has obtained this new video. it is being used in negotiations between boko haram an

the clinton campaign says that it is. they've been questioning the sanders campaign has been the legality of it. it does appear it is legal, if sort of par for the course in this era of big money and politics that many find unsav unsavory. the clinton campaign thinks sanders is leading astray younger liberals to believe the democratic party is corrupt. you're seeing this fear. you've heard donald trump, sort of unveiled the nickname for hillary clinton, crooked hillary, you're seeing a fear coming from the clinton campaign that that is something that with bernie sanders leveling this argument could take hold in the primary, and this is something they'd fight in an expected matchup with donald trump. >> bernie sanders, who grew up in brooklyn, campaigned heavily across the city and the state, looking ahead. he'll be holding a rally on the campus of penn state university, which is where we find jeff zele zeleny. more delegates at stake in new york than any other contest. what does the sanders campaign hope to prove? >> repo

you follow the clinton campaign. is the clinton campaign becoming irritated by the sort of reticence not only of sanders supporters like danny glover but the sanders campaign itself to say it would sign on with her if he doesn't win? >> yeah. there has been a lot of eye-rolling in brooklyn and a little bit of hair pulling as well with the way the sanders campaign has been talking about hillary clinton recently. it's been going on for awhile but as the delegate lead stacks up, especially after new york, they keep waiting for as they view it, the sanders people to come to their senses and kind of get behind the nominee or the likely nominee, hillary clinton, and that so far just hasn't happened. you are starting to hear her surrogates say he's aiding and abetting donald trump or ted cruz in helping win the republican nomination. they are saying that he's damaging hillary clinton. i haven't seen a lot of evidence to support that quite yet. but the further we go on, the more he keeps doing this, it definitely becomes a p

secretary clinton. secretary clinton. >> thank you. i am very grateful for the fact that the people of new york gave me the great honor of serving as your senator. you took a chance on me in 2000 and then you reelected any with one of the biggest margins we've had in our state in 2006. during those years we worked closely together. i tried to have your back and time and time again you had mine. we took on the challenges of 9/11 together. we got the money to rebuild new york. we came to the aid of our brave first responders, construction workers and others who endangered their own health by helping to save lives and search for survivors. we worked to create jobs despite the disastrous policies of george w. bush across new york and we stood up time and time again against all kinds of vested powerful interests. i'm interesting for your support again in the primary on tuesday to continue that work together to take what we did in new york and to take those new york values to the white house and put them to work on behalf of all of our peopl

is this fight good for either clinton or sanders? >> i think the fight is a little better for clinton than sanders right now. >> we're in the disagreement zone. >> i think it's the case that he -- he went further than was merited. he got a little misled by the headline on the "washington post." she did not go as far as to suggest he was unqualified. she made it -- by implication, she was suggesting there are questions about his qualifications, and begged the answers. but she did not go all the way to say bernie sanders is unqualified. i think one of the things you have to do if you're running an inner party primary, one of the rules according to hoyle, you don't say things in that could be used in and ad. the things bernie sanders said last night could be used against hillary clinton. he went too far given the level of provocation in question. >> scored that way, yeah, but the whole point is to win the nomination fight. bernie sanders is behind. he needs to shake things up. he needs to inspire his supporters, who are pretty easily in

the state where sanders grew up and clinton adopted. right now, senator sanders is joining me from his home state, new york city. senator, welcome back, sir. >> great to be with you. >> let me start by what happened in wyoming. how frustrating is it that you have a double-digit win, you won by double digits on tuesday, and overall, wisconsin and wyoming, you were able to narrow the pledged delegate gap all by just ten delegates total. that's not a path to the nomination. >> well, that's what happens when you have proportional representation, but what is a path to the nomination is we have cut secretary clinton's lead by one-third in the last month. we have won eight out of nine contests. national polling in the last three polls, two of them have us ahead. we are running stronger against donald trump and other republicans than secretary clinton. we have the momentum. i think we stand a really good chance to do well in new york state, in pennsylvania, and as we head into other states. so, we're feeling really good with a path toward victo

hillary clinton is way ahead right now. she's ahead by almost 223,000 votes. 57.3% to bernie sanders 42.7%. a very, very impressive win for both hillary clinton on the democratic side and donald trump on the republican side. anderson, good night for both of them. >> no doubt, big wins for both. we heard from hillary clinton just a short time ago, and wolf mentioned how she began her opening remarks. let's play those before we go to the panel. again there's no place like nce- home. but this one's personal. >> and let's turn to our panelist, it was interesting to hear both hillary clinton and donald trump both sort of pivoting to a more general election and also, sort of striking, i don't know for hillary clinton, much of a different tone, but certainly for donald trump. >> i thought it was a different done for both of them to a degree. you know, hillary clinton tonight gave a great general election speech. and that's what, you know, she was talking about america is great. she was -- >> and comparing herself to donald trump.

said basically isn't there sometimes in conflict, you know, bill clinton pushing for hillary clinton for president and defending his legacy, sometimes it's tough to do both. >> i think so. but first of all, hillary clinton was masterful. i mean, her -- what she did today on criminal justice past, present and future could not have been done better by any politician or any leader. what bill clinton did could not have been worse. he just ripped off scabs that are very, very hard to talk about without getting emotional. there was a lot of pain and suffering in the black community, it's true. there were black preachers and homeowners pleading, will you do something about the crack epidemic? but what happened was such an overreaction, and super-predator became a five-syllable term for those black guys doing crack. now, you compare that to what's going on now with heroin, this compassionate approach. meth, compassionate approach. opioids, compassionate approach. but that was not what we got 20 years ago. and so it's very, very painful to have him rip that back off the way that he did. he ne

you are on the hillary clinton beat. we saw the clinton campaign seems -- they seem to see an advantage in this, they were trying to raise money off of sanders comments overnight. if hillary clinton address it is today any idea where she's going to go on this? >> i've been told by a campaign official and i think we are going to hear secretary clinton her campaign stress three points, one, you were just discussing with kasie the fact that she never said that senator sanders was unqualified. he is essentially putting words in her mouth and, in fact, she was very careful to sidestep that question. number two and i think this gets more damaging for senator sanders, she's going to make the point, hey, you could make this argument about president obama and john kerry if that's your status for who was qualified, particularly when you're talking about trade deals, accepting money when you're running for president. and this gives her yet another opening to embrace president obama and to sort of cast senator sanders aside and say,

vote for hillary clinton? >> i'm definitely not going to vote for her. >> emily, you're a democratic strategist, you're a clinton supporter, convince yahne she's wrong. >> i'm sorry to hear that. i do think there are a lot of people that are open to supporting hillary. really the difference between the candidates has been in degree not in kind ---less no question that sanders brought forward a lot of issues that tapped into what people are feeling in the country right now and want to be talking about, income inequality, affordable college, free college, talks about affordable college, money in politics. but the reality is these are issues that she had in her platform, have always been a part of her platform and talks about increasingly more he did put a spotlight on them when he talks about them in simplistic terms and forced her campaign to talk about them more broadly and talk about them front and center. >> this general election is going to be -- >> i want to see if any of that makes sense to yahne, what do

trump is significantly more negative than clinton. clinton's numbers are rigged in. people have pretty well established views of her. i think everyone knows this is going to be a nasty and pretty negative. it is going to be about trying to figure out how to get a little bit ahead of your opponents in terms of offering something a little more positive. >> i don't know if we have seen that quite yet from trump or cruz. >> the sanders campaign is more less negative than obama and clinton were eight years ago. we heard from joel benenson. he does feel this was worst. he was on the other side eight years ago. the mayor, on morning joe today on the way how sanders is handling this campaign. >> should bernie sanders get out of the race if clinton wins? >> i don't tell the candidates what the do. bernie sanders feels he's sparking a difference in this country and it is a valuable discussion. if hillary clinton wins strongly tonight which i believe she will. she will be the nominee. there is no question. what bernie sanders and his movement should focus on is the iss issues a

neither did hillary clinton. the two front-runner candidates decided to skip last night and focus on new york. >> we want to highlight he didn't win. he calls other peoplers losers, first place is first place. >> what does he do when he doesn't win, he suggests there's illegalities and funny business going on. that is worrisome when you think about the summer. it makes me wonder how this party would be united in the summer and fall. >> we looked at how wisconsin is different, maybe more like nebraska and iowa and different than the states in the northeast. but cruz last night spoke about his delegate momentum. let's listen to what ted cruz sai said. >> four very different states. utah, colorado, north dakota, wisconsin. four victories. in the last two weeks. and in the coming days when colorado and wyoming finish voting, we are likely to have gained over 100 delegates on donald trump. as a result of the people of wisconsin defying the media, defying the pundits, i'm more and more convinced that our campaign is go

. >> i think what you saw bill clinton doing there was an extension of hillary clinton's mood. that she feels like she's bent over backwards to accommodate every demand of the bernie sanders people, the id logical members, the left wing of the party, the activists, every time they've confronted her she's said, you're right, i believe what you believe, yes, yes, and finally she's snapping back and he's snapping back and we're going to say, no, we're going to defend ourselves. we think you're wrong about these things. i think you're lying about my donations from the fossil fuel industry as she said to that protester the other day. so you see the clintons getting a little bit testy. and i think that's what bill regretted. he didn't regret what he said. he didn't regret his message. >> it's not that young people are tilting bernie's way. they're voting at north korean levels for bernie sanders. >> well, on that note let's take a quick pause. we're going to go to our end game segment. back in 45 seconds. what happens when political pandering in new york - if everyone carpooled just

is that the clinton campaign seemed to be knocked off course a little bit by bill clinton and some of his statements about black lives matter. does the campaign feel at this point that former president clinton is helping her campaign? >> well, as you know, joy, actually the two protesters were not with black lives matter. and one of them was yelling "hillary is a murderer." -- president clinton spoke to that, actually, yesterday. and we know -- he said, you know, look, i think that it's important that we listen to people. maybe i didn't do that as well as i should have. but that's really what this campaign for hillary has been about. she has been going around the country, listening to people. she's actually met with activists from black lives matter in a couple of different settings, to really -- because she wants to hear from people and she wants to engage with people and make sure that that is part of what is informing the policies that she put forward. and as you know, criminal justice reform is an issue that has been central to this campaign for hillary. it was the first policy sp

yes, hillary clinton won. a good victory for her yesterday, but there are a lot of elections to go, a lot of votes to go. politics is a strange thing. lots of different things can happen. the people, the most important thing, i would say is that the activists, the people i talked to yesterday, my facebook and twitter feeds are energized to keep pushing bernie's message forward about the political revolution. we're going to make the argument for bernie. i think he will be the nominee. >> so, you know, i don't know how the math adds up, but i know that bernie and also jeff weaver, his campaign manager, say they're going to the convention and would agree with you. hilary rosen, how would you respond to what you just heard here from the hillary clinton perspective? >> well, look, i don't think any candidate wants to be told that even if there's a 1 in a million chance, that there's no chance, so i'll let -- >> what you're telling him here? >> let his team go on and tell us how they're going to win 85% of the next

for hillary clinton another loss, but so what. her team insists the map and math are both on her side for all the candidates, their focus now shifts east on the republican side, the first term texas senator celebrating that impressive win in the badger state. he scoops up almost all of that states 42 delegates. at the moment, donald trump still has a hefty delegate lead and a major test is in trump's backyard. the next one, that is, new york where the stakes are high. 95 delegates up for grabs. trump planning a rally where thousands are expected later today. a live look there right now. it will be the first time we've heard from him since that walloping in wisconsin. ted cruz also here today campaigning in a bronx neighborhood in new york city. he's expected to take the microphone any moment now. he will be taking questions as well. when that happens, we'll bring it to you live here on msnbc. also coming off a big win tuesday, vermont senator, bernie sanders, who narrowed his delegate deficit against hillary clinton but still has

>> it is a big number for hillary clinton. more than one million is actually more than voted in the republican primary in new york. and of course, ted cruz. hillary clinton spoke about the need to unify the party. sending out to a message to supporters of bernie sanders, there is much more that unites them then separates them. if hillary clinton is on a mission to unique the democratic party, where are voters that are really not as of now, buying what she is selling? >> we have seen throughout the campaign, that bernie sanders as well as the -- look at the new york democrats from the exit polls today, 18 to 29-year-olds, went to bernie sandered. look at the member liberal wing of the party. look at that number, again, sanders, wins that as well, 56% of the vote. hillary clinton 44% of the vote. wall street, a big issue for bernie sanders. bernie sand erds wins that eight percentage points, the last number solidifies the problem that hillary clinton is having with liberal voters and younger voters, two keys that shy will have t

the bill clinton trying to be a good surrogate for the hillary clinton campaign. we're still basically in the same place we were last week. >> so we just had ryan fallon on and dismissed the reports that there are some worried about bill clinton on the campaign trail whether he helps or hurts. what does that sound like, joy? 2008 when that same argument was made after south carolina and other uncomfortable moments for hillary clinton. if she's the nominee, i think we could safely say that this will be always that how much of a help is bill clinton? it will also be applied later to barack obama, again, whomever is the nominee. how much do these giants in their party help the nominee? >> reporter: yeah, and tamron, it's interesting i'm here in staten island which is, as you have been saying this morning and all morning, it's the most red borough in new york city but it's all relative. john mccain won this section of new york city in 2008 and barack obama narrowly won it in 2012 and 29% republican but in relative to other parts like brooklyn and manhattan and 70% to

i've known hillary clinton for 25 years. i respect hillary clinton. we were colleagues in the senate, and on her worst day, she would be a better president than either of the president candidates. >> today clinton courts voters in upstate new york while sanders holds rallies in brooklyn. plus donald trump sets his sights on the convention and beeves up the role of one of his top strategists as cruz tries to keep moment up with incoming attacks. phil matingly is kicking off our coverage. >> reporter: as you see, they're apparently ri lining their messages, bernie sanders and hillary clinton all would be better than anybody on the republican side. look, this is a fight. it's broken out. i think it's somewhat unsettling to a lot of democrats who have been watching the democratic race and saying at least we're not the republican race. that's starting to shift a little bit right now, and while both candidates have started to ratchet back the escalation, still a few jabs here and there. here's what hillary clinton said this morning in an interview with the
