and michael shure. let me start with you jeannie is there any scenario in which hillary clinton is not the democratic nominee in your mind? >> not at all. unless there is some catastrophic event that happens, she can just not fail owin. going forward the math just totally works against him. if they had a winner take all system like the republicans are going to have starting now essentially. >> right. >> he might have a shot picking up big states. that's not going to happen in the democratic states. >> peter fenn, she last got a gadfly that pulls her, he gets those 27, 35 dollar donation. has no reason not to stay in this race and on the other side he has got donald trump who very effectively denigrates, by saying there's a lawsuit, or whatever, donald trump is put in the minds that something catastrophic might happen to hillary clinton. >> i guess he has to did that because catastrophic things seem to be ready to happen to him with lawsuits and looking into his past activities but look jeannie's right,

shure, joining me from miami now, and michael shure, gentlemen, you look great. and that's not too to take. michael shore with donald trump campaign, more than halfway to the nomination, what on earth can republicans do? those republicans who want to try to stop him? >> you know, tony, whatever it is, they haven't figure today it out yet. $15 million of anti-trump money was spent here, and 5 million in north carolina, and they have been doing whatever they can. it is a little bit anecdotal but consistent throughout this race. every candidate that i've been traveling it, when you get out on the road and you talk to these people and you ask them, would they vote for donald trump or hillary clinton, if those about the choices, they say that they would stay home. and that may be what the republicans do to stop donald trump. they may give it to hillary clinton. but that's what is going to happen. it has to be by accident because everything that they're doing is on purpose. >> the exit polls show that as many as two out of five republican voters would consider voting f

is covering hillary clinton, michael shure is covering marco rubio, randall pinkston is in palm beach, florida with donald trump, and ali velshi is in texas where the biggest haul of delegates is up tonight. starting with david schuster. >> the results are coming? in these three states, and we can report based on the exit polling that on the democratic side, hillary clinton has been declared the win for the state of georgia, bernie sanders has won vermont and hillary clinton has won virginia. georgia and virginia for hillary clinton, and vermont for bernie sanders. let's look closer at georgia, and this is something to look for now. 102 delegates. and the question is if hillary clinton wins by 20 points or more, and keep in mind she won by 15, and is bernie sanders able to keep it close. if he keeps it close, he doesn't fall so far behind in

illinois missouri and michael shure, you're at a marco rubio rally i'm going to ask you about that in just a second. hillary clinton is trying to contain the damage she might face in illinois ohio and missouri by running up the race in florida. what do you think? >> this is not a conversation she wanted you and i to be having. this would be a five state sweep for hillary clinton, you should be saying inevitable but after michigan a week ago could ohio be a michigan or could missouri be a michigan or could en ilknow? ilillinois? she lost that race by 2. people are quietly nervous in the hillary clinton campaign right now. >> also nervous because pop culture is picking up on that theme that hillary clinton will say whatever is working for bernie sanders and claim she said it all along. a mock commercial overnight, where hillary clinton talked about the wall street rhetoric. >> that famous mobilizing sentence that works on you guys, that i've been saying all the time. landing the be support to the las vegas jew in the race. i'm sick and tired about my own damn e-mails. >> this message wa

michael shure has more from florida. >>> and donald trump gets the big endorsement from dr. ben carson, the most important part of which was when carson gave him the seal of approval because of his spirituality, saying he is spiritually okay. that's what trump wants evangelical voters to here. the debate, here showed a different side of donald trump. unlike previous debates, thursday's debate in miami featured an intense discussion of the economy, education, and foreign policy. the first question of the night went to governor john kasich on whether his support of trade deals was undermining the middle class. >> my position has always been we want to have free trade, but fair trade, when countries cheat, we need to blow the whistle. >> reporter: the candidates differed on the issue of social security solvency. >> my children will retire at 70. i will retire at 68. >> i want to make america great men, and leave social security as with. >> reporter: but marco rubio challenged donald trump on the numbers. >> let's get rid of fraud and abuse, and be more careful about how you spe

. >> al jazeera's political correspondent michael shure is live in washington. michael, you heard rob reynolds say bernie sanders would have to pick up nearly two-thirds of the remaining delegates up for grabs. any chance of that happening, you think? >> i don't want to say no. he won three out of three this weekend, he scroant asked for cd for more. but every tile you talk about bernie sanders, he won, but. the caucus days are behind him, the primary days are ahead of him. places like new york or pennsylvania are places where hillary clinton won, or ran strong in the past. it's going to be a little bit more difficult next week. in wisconsin, next week, he wants to make wisconsin seem a little bit like michigan randall. >> reynolds says he is going to open a are campaign office in brooklyn, new york, and things seem to be a strong ground game, do you see that sanders ground game is getting better exponentially as they go forward? >> who isn't opening an office in brooklyn now? it's the place to be. (laughing). >> they have him winning contest the around the coun

michael shure, al jazeera, miami, florida. >> i'm mike viqueria in miami. hillary clinton is back where she started at the beginning of the campaign. the odds-on favorite to take the fight to republicans in the fall. >> we are moving closer to securing the democratic party nomination and winning this election in november! >> clinton routed bernie sanders in north carolina and florida, and a flair owe win in illinois. but time and money that debunks the theory after her upset loss to sanders in michigan, that clinton is vulnerable in the industrial heartland but sanders is unperturbed. he launched into his now familiar astack. >> she has received money from the drug companies and the fossil fuel industry. she has given speeches on wall street for $225,000. $225,000 a pop. >> even the clinton team concedes upcoming clashes favor sanders. caucuses, a format where sanders does well. but after her victories tuesday the delegate math puts sanders in a big hole. clinton has a lead of about 300 pledged delegates, about twice what president obama had over her in any

here's aljazeera's michael shure. >> reporter: in 2015, black lives matter protests erupted around the country, including in charleston, south carolina. for many, on the surface, it looks far different than anything that this country has seen before. >> we don't really want a seat at the table. >> reporter: he's a leader of black lives matter in charleston. >> we don't want to amplify our voice within the structure. went to develop our power in such a way that we can pull out of the structure, have the opportunity and the ability to create our own structure, and then if we want to talk power to power, let's talk power to power. >> reporter: for many black lives matter activists, integration was only a partial success. it lot african-americans a seat at the table, but not a seat in the room, especially issues of law enforcement. and policing that lead some to view it as violence. in a september mar is poll, 59% of white americans called black lives matter a distraction, with 41% saying that the movement advocates violence, quite different than the movement of the 1960s, right? >> but th

>> so michael shure, i want to ask this in a different way. mitt romney will be back in the spotlight tomorrow when he gives a speech about the state of the 2016 race. here's what i want to ask. should we care, and why? >> reporter: wow, yeah. that's a really good question. there are a lot of republicans asking the same question, and don't feel like you're alone. mitt romney is trying to insert himself as the reasonable voice of the republican party, but he's also the rejected voice. and a lot of the republicans think is that he lost a race that he should have won. he last name, accorditoring people that we have spoken to, say that he's going to be running for office. he last name say that he's going to be endorsing another candidate. i think that he's really at the university of utah going to give a state of the race talk, but he's publicized it to the point where people are wondering what's behind that. as far as i know, nothing yet. and the people in the republican party, a lot of them would like to see him just go away, tony. >> you know t

al jazeera's michael shure is in miami. donald trump promised to be more presidential. was the gen tilty tonight a surprise? >> i don't know, with that promise coming, maybe it was. it felt like a democratic debate because of the tone. it's a little cooler. the airconditioning better tonight. and the fact that these people are here talking to each other in that tone almost seemed as if they got together and said hey, listen, we are not going to call each other by name. they did get to issues, and a lot of audience was happy about that. they got to issues that you wouldn't hear them talk about. veterans' affairs, climate change came up. marco rubio from the home crowd had a big - i would say a big response from the fact that he tucked about islam in a way republicans have not committed to talk about it. >> if you go to a national cemetery, you'll see crescent moons. you'll see american men and women serving in uniforms. no one on the stage served in uniform in the united states military. anyone that has the uniform of the united states on, and is willing to die for the c

michael shure is in ann arbor, so michael, going into today's primary, there's a national poll that shows that the republican race is tightening in the election cycle. and fill us in on that, please. >> reporter: if david chute senior wearing an aloha hawaiian shirt now, i can't see him, and i need you to take a picture of that. this is a wall street journal poll, donald trump with 30%, and ted cruz behind at 27%, and then john kasich with 22 and marco rubio with 20. since the last time these people polled, john kasich is up 11 points in that poll. this is not a michigan poll, this is a national poll. closing the distance as well. maybe because of what donald trump is backfiring, and not necessarily trump supporters, but a lot of republicans are looking at john kasich as well. it's not necessarily what ted cruz wants to see. a tightening, but not as much >> what about the democratic side there, michael? michigan is an important contest for bernie sanders, and he got beaten badly on super tuesday, but gained a little bit over the weekend. any word on what's hang? >> well, we have seen the

as al jazeera's michael shure reports, it's an issue that is overshadowing policy debate. >> please welcome ted cruz. >> senator ted cruz was first up in cnn's gop town hall in milwaukee, wisconsin. right off the top, a question about the news of the day, the arrest of donald trump's campaign manager. >> the reporter alleged that she was physically assaulted. that, i will say it's consistent with the pattern of the trump campaign. the culture of the campaign has been a campaign built on attacks, on insults, and i think there is no place in politics for insults, for personal attacks, for going to the gutter and there should be no place for physical violence, either. >> with that, cruz brought up the vitriol between his campaign and donald trump's. >> i'm not an easy person to tick off but when you go after my wife and daughters, that does it. >> when the audience had their turn to ask questions, substance trumped salaciousness. >> how much does your religion affect your decision making? >> most farms in the dairy industry cannot find american born workers. what is the short term solution to

michael shure is in miami tonight, he's going to help explain the republican side of it tonight for us. michael. >> paul, nice to see you. in miami just across the harbor is freedom tower where just be months ago marco rubio announced his race for presidency, now he's no longer in the race. the characters still keep being changed. but the race goes on. >> tonight, my campaign is suspended. >> the once promising campaign of marco rubio came to an end. ironically, the site of his final defeat in this presidential race. >> it is clear while we are on the right side this year we will not be on the winning side. >> it was donald trump winning over 50% of a state for the first time, who found himself in the winning side in florida and just about everywhere else. in addition to the winner take all state of florida trump won in illinois and north carolina, meaning he has won every confederate state except texas. >> we have a long way to go but at some point it's going to get done. >> the tenor of the trump campaign is under scrutiny. >> the fact is we have to bring our party together. we have

michael shure shows how two persecuted religions may be the model of that idea. >> reporter: many americans associate utah with religion. this is not the religion thought of. utah is 65% mormon. dominance in that one religion promoted a tolerance of islam at a time when it is not the norm. >> throughout the world they are peace loving people like you and me. we believe that everyone is a child of god. >> reporter: being muslim in america means being viewed sceptically and answering for the actions of a few. mormons know what that is like. >> if you had an experience in your faith being mischaracterised you start with a skepticism. >> reporter: jim represents the church of latter day saints known as the lds or mormon church on the salt lake inner roundtable. >> if you get to know people, see their values and see how their families work it makes good relations easier. >> it goes a long way. especially in this center in westvilly city. >> -- west valley city. >> they don't look at it as us versus them. some of the commonalties go back more than app century. >> in the beginning of islam. muslim

michael shure, al jazeera, salt lake city, utah. >> reporter: the water crisis in flint is posing a new threat, a threat to garden-grown food. >> reporter: if it's a situation where you want to really intentionally lower that lead, it's that compost edition. it's really key. >> reporter: in a city plagued by water crisis -- >> i think that's the key fact here, is that we don't believe we had wide-spread soil-lead contamination. >> reporter: a non-profit is leading the conversation. it was nearly two years ago when the city's water supply became tainted with lead. a city-wide emergency wasn't declared until two months ago. >> folks are definitely concerned about what the water crisis does to that plant health, and also if it's safe to eat the vegetables that they produce. >> reporter: so far the organization supports more than 300 garden throughout the city, but risks losing some over fears about lade contamination. among many issues, lead exposure in children can slow brain development. >> this is our soil probe, and we're going to go down at least six, seven inches and collect dirt. >>

four significant states, the battle grounds of ohio and florida, and aljazeera's michael shure is in miami tonight. michael, let's spend three or four minutes together. maybe longer, and we talk a lot about the republicans being in crisis, right? but with the sanders win in michigan, are the democrats facing problems of their own? >> well, it's a different kind of crisis, tony. good evening to you from miami. the crisis that the republicans are seeing is the person who seems to be their nominee, a person that the majority of the party is not confident with. and the majority of the country is wait a minute, we don't want this person to be president. on the democratic side, their crisis is different. they had a presumptive nominee, and they were talking about the closest opponent, bernie sanders, dropping out after michigan. and in fact, he won michigan. and so it goes to the clinton campaign, and whether or not the presumptive nominee is going to be that, and if the party can withstand a bernie sanders candidacy. a lot of the them are saying we don't necessarily want to send him to th

michael. michael shure for us in miami. the latest polls have donald trump poised to win florida, but residents there say they are overwhelmed and unimpressed by a barrage of negative campaign ads leading up to the primary. >> reporter: the tranquil beaches of florida lie in stark contrast to the hurricane of attack adds. >> donald trump made millions, while hard-working americans got scammed. >> reporter: super pacs are attacking donald trump, hoping to stop his momentum. while trump fires back at marco rubio, aiming to knock the florida out of the race on his own turf. florida voters tell us the ads are overwhelming, and make little difference. >> i think it's foolish. because why is everybody knocking everybody? it's so silly. >> it makes me aggravated. >> it's like listening to a whole bunch of children. >> florida is no stranger to down and dirty politics. during the last primary in 2012, mitt romney intent more than $15 million in attack ads. and nine out of ten campaign ads were negative. >> while i'm not thrilled wi

michael shure is in salt lake city tonight, michael. >> reporter: good evening, to you, john. yes, those poll numbers have not been good to donald trump, and the people in the party trying to make sure he does not get the 50% that is required here to win all of the delegates. people in utah are really not taking to donald trump either his brand of politics or his personality. we spoke with a professor at the university of utah about just that. >> they are taken aback by his arrogance, his perceived arrogance, his pomp us energy, his general answers -- easy answers given to very complicated, difficult problems. he is seemingly ignorant to the fact that governing is not easy. governing is hard. >> reporter: the sitting governor of utah has endorsed ted cruz. you heard mitt romney, a prominent utahan working very hard to stop donald trump here. >> mormons play a big part in utah in politics. so have any mormons endorsed him? and what don't they like about donald trump? >> that's an interesting question. almost 70% of the entire state. that's a huge number obviously. and it's not

let's go to michael shure our senior political correspondent who is in detroit. so michael, he's not going to run, but what impact could he have on this race? >> well, i think his impact is most felt, john, but not running in the first place, and i think the impact also that you will see is by talking about the republicans, by saying he doesn't want to turn this over to the congress to make sure nobody gets a plurality, it's a de facto endorsement of hillary clinton. who benefits from this? hillary clinton. you can think of all of the other scenarios, but it's really hillary clinton because he is basically saying, i don't want a republican. i can cam plain all i want about the democrats and the republicans, but i know hillary clinton may come back to the center on financial issues. those are the ones that are important to me. and the people who sell huge sodas around the country, he is probably going to make them happy too. >> but he spent millions of dollars trying to fight for gun control in this country, how much money would he spend to help some candidate in

. >>> michael shure is in miami with a preview of the presidential debate. "the washington post" says ben carson is going to endorse trump. it seems to get stranger by the moment. >> it does, and after listening to david shuster's report, it may come at the right moment for donald trump to build themselves as the moral center of the party, even though it didn't take him far in the election in terms of votes. that is sort of the way that ben carson has been able to identify himself to the party, and that is something that donald trump will need. it may not bring with it a lot of votes and support, it brings with him a little moral support na donald trump needs from that part of the party. when you hear ben carson do that for donald trump, it is surprising that he is endorsing everyone. you knew ted cruz was not going to get it. still a bad taste in the mouth. that was not going to place for the conservative ben carson to go. >> we have seen fireworks at g.o.p. debates before. what do you expect tonight? >> i think you'll hear a little of the sax. rubio is ret

aljazeera's michael shure joins us from murray, utah and what's at stake in tonight's contests some. >> yeah, tony, it's interesting. it's not just about what's going to happen in the race, about the delegate count. i'm here at cottonwood high school in murray, and what's happening here, the beginning of mitt romney's blueprint to stop donald trump from gaining the nomination here, so this is about actually winning the caucus, but keeping the donald from winging it, and getting 50% for ted cruz. if he gets ted cruz, he gets every vote. and it's about mormons keeping donald trump away. and that's what's going on here in utah. >> do i love the mormons, okay? >> do you do mormons love donald trump? so far in 2016, the answer is a resounding no. trump has already lost the mormon-heavy states of idaho and wyoming, and tonight he faces the voters of utah, where 63% of the population are members of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, lds for short. >> in utah, there's a big mormon population, and that might have a big sway in who we choose. >> tim chandler, an associate profess

we'll head to michael shure in murray, utah. caucusing is going on. utah has an interesting stage by some republicans to stop donald trump, if the polls are right, it could work. >> yes, that's exactly right. good evening to you. i'm at a high school - cottonwood high school. over my shoulder here is a small - one of the small caucuses going on in the school, where about 30 caucuses going on. a lot of people saying it's a huge turn out for the high school and the polling place. just a little anecdote e when this little group caucuses. they got zero votes for donald trump, which prompted a bit of a cheer from that group. that gives you a sense of what is going on, and when you talk about the dynamic in utah. you can't help but look at the mormon vote. it's a big part of it. 66% made up from the chump of latter day saints. what we have seen is something a little surprising. we talked about the fact that donald trump, not only do they not like his brash demeanour, but what puts them off is his stand on immigration and muslims. one of the things that he h

michael shure is in salt lake city with a preview of the race in utah, and why donald trump could help turn the republican state, what, blue? michael? >> that's exactly right. all because of donald trump. that's what people are talking about here in utah. it is an inedible thing, because utah has not voted for a democrat for president since 1964. in that was lyndon johnson, and it looks as if donald trump were to be the nominee here, tony, that they might go that way. we spoke to somebody who has watched many of the collections since 1964, a professor at the university of utah. this is what he had to say. >> they are taking back by his arrogance, his general answers to -- easy answers given to very complicated difficult problems. he's seemingly ignorance to the fact that governing is not easy. governing is hard. >> reporter: and tony that's exactly what people are talking about everywhere. but here in utah you have governors, former governors, senators all working to keep donald trump from winning the nomination. it's not as if when they endorse ted cruise it's because they want ted cr

michael shure standing by for us in detroit tonight. michael, michigan is tuesday's big prize, how are the contests shaping up there? >> well, let me tell you, first of all you said hawaii caucus, and i'm in detroit. i did something wrong today, tony. but it is an interesting race. this is a very important place, michigan in this race. and it's not just about who does well, it's about who doesn't do well. john kasich is coming up in donald trump still in the lead, but john kasich closing a gap on ted cruz, trying to make stand. you have to have 15% of the vote to get delegates. and marco rubio is below that. everybody is looking at marco rubio for who isn't doing well. a poll from ohio is out today, and that had rubio at 5%. the conversation is starting to turn towards what is the plan for marco rubio. but mymy -- michigan is the big prize tomorrow. i want to add one other thing about the polling here that is very interesting. 71% in that poll today, 71% of republicans said they would vote for donald trump. that leaves 29% who would not

michael shure, al jazeera, houston. >> another key issue of course in texas is immigration. republican candidates are taking a hard line, but that may cost their nominee when it comes to the presidential election in november. al jazeera's alan finish err reports from houston. >> in a school haul in texas, hoping to become an american, many are undocumented migrants. she has lived under the radar in the u.s. for 50 years. brought as a child from mexico, she now wants to become a citizen and she wants to vote in november's election. >> because separating family, parents go to work and they're scared they don't come back to home again. i'm sorry, but my emotion is because i'm mexican. >> donald trump wants top build a wall and kick out all illegal immigrants. others are taking a similar hard line. after the last campaign, republicans said they needed to attract latino votes but the language knowledge election campaign has left many latinos alienate and frightened and now they are registering to vote to stop the republicans. >> la teen knows are interested in a number of issues,

michael shure is in miami tonight. michael we talk about the republicans in crisis. with the sanders win in michigan are democrats facing problems of their own? >> indeed they are. their problems are a bit different. good evening, john. the probes that bernie sanders presents to hillary clinton is a problem of inevitability. hillary clinton trying to paint herself as inevitable, the longer the race goes on, the longer hillary clinton will have to spend time and money on another candidate when she wants to move on. what in fact is the situation should she not win? she's only won states in the south. bernie sanders of course has not won very many states down there but he did quite well in the rust belt, by winning michigan last night. when it comes to the numbers, sanders winning it surprisingly maybe the biggest surprise we've seen in a primary since going back to gary hart. the delegate math gets tricky for bernie sanders after this, john. >> back to republicans and let's talk about the debate.the last debate with the republicans there are plenty of observers that be

senior correspondent michael shure is in miami, michael. >> john, good evening, donald trump can what he had to do, in a way losing texas was a good thing for him because i.t. kept ted cruz in the race. ted cruz would have dropped out if he hadn't bee been able to wn his home state. trying to get the republican party endorsers that have backed him, the calendar doesn't favor him nor does the result that he saw last night from super tuesday. but the field made thin a little bit tomorrow, the reports having ben carson leaving the race but the night belonged to donald trump. news that ben carson will be leaving the race, will not attend the debate and sees no path forward. super tuesday propelled donald trump further tort towards closg the biggest deal of his life. >> i have millions and pllts. this is nomillions,not like thi. paul ryan, i don't know him well, if i don't, he's going to have to pay a big price okay? >> got triple the number of delegates in texas than trump did, getting behind him as the only candidate that can defeat trump. >> for the candidates that have not yet won a st

michael shure live for us. quite a night last night. much different in tone than the prior debates. >> del, as we have discussed, it was almost like a democratic debate in the terms they spoke about issues, they engaged each other very little. when they did, it was about issues. that's something we haven't grown accustomed to but all 4 candidates were here and it was different. >> unlike previous debates, thursday's debate in miami featured an intense discussion of the economy, education, and foreign policy. the first question of the night went to governor john kasich, on whether his support of trade deals was undermining the middle class. kasich played up his blue-collar roots. >> my position has been we wanted to have free trade but fair trade. when people cheat, when countries cheat and they take advantage of us, we need to blow the whistle. >> the candidates differed on the issue of social security solvency. >> my children would retire at 70. i would at 68. it would be a graduating scale. >> i want to make america great again and le

i want to go to michael shure in miami. listening to hillary clinton and bernie sanders today, sort of focus a little bit on this kkk controversy. you kind of wonder whether or not democrats are unified -- that this particular issue has helped unify people like -- who support hillary clinton and bernie sanders against donald trump. >> reporter: yes, john. i mean you are going to start having these conversations even -- i would say more forcefully beginning wednesday. it's not going to be a good day according to the ebb and flow. even a today a poll showing hillary clinton up in massachusetts, not a place where she thought she would have a win, it's a close to vermont, close to bernie sanders's hometown, so it's not the kind of place where you would think she would do well. so when you hear about the ugliness coming out on the other side, a lot of the republicans are saying this might be what unifies us. and going back to what lisa stark was saying about this sec primary, it is in the south, but it also designed this big fro

michael shure is in miami tonight. >> actually i'm a little bit north of miami, and we just heard marco rubio speak to a crowd here. a tired version of marco rubio trying to get people energized to vote. many in florida have already voted, but he was desperate and passionate, because he knows it all rests on florida. and florida was the place that he thought would bring up his campaign, and it turns out that it might be where the campaign of marco rubio ends. even during the snows of iowa and new hampshire, political watchers new that it could all come down to the sunshine state. >> all eyes are on florida and you see not just the republican candidates, but the democratic candidates spending so much time here. >> reporter: he knows where his home state is so vital to the g.o.p. >> part of the reason florida has come into play is because the hispanic vote as gotten away from the republican party. >> reporter: and that's why republicans has such high hopes for marco rubio. this man was a jeb bush advisor. >> after jeb bush dropped out, i thought there would be a big boost for marco, and i

michael shure is in murray, utah, south of salt lake. >> that's right. i'm at cottonwood high school, a caucus site here in utah, and it's where former governor of massachusetts mitt romney, former presidential candidate, will be here to caucus. he is the one setting the table for what is going on in utah tonight. it is his effort to stop donald trump from getting the nomination. he alluded that trump will be dealt a loss here. that's what is right. what people like mitt romney are trying to do is to get that vote 50% to ted cruz so donald trump does not get a single delegate here in utah. what they're going to do in trying to do that happen is to count on the always reliable mormon vote. >> do i love the mormons. >> but do mormons love donald trump. so far in 2016 the answer is a resounding no. trump has already lost the heavy states of idaho and wyoming, and tonight he faces the voters of utah where 63% of the population are members of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints, mormons for short. >> tim is an associate professor of politics at th

michael shure spoke with muslim leaders and they say they are finding more similarities between their rea religions than differences. >> most think of you a take you as a religious area. >> the bulk of them, i guess the billions of muslims throughout the world are probably peace loving people just like you and me. >> we believe that everyone is a child of god and we believe in i think the same god. >> being muslim in america often means being viewed skeptically and having to answer for the actions of a few. mormons know what that's like. >> if you've had an experience in your affect being miss characterized, then you start with a certain skepticism about characterizations you hear of other faiths. >> jim release the church of latter day saints on the salt lake interfaith round table. >> if you get to know people and see their values and see how their families work, then i think that makes good releases easier. >> that philosophy goes a long way with muslims in utah, like muhammed, eye ma'am at the islamic center in the shadow of the rocky mountains. >> they don't look at it as us vers
