to respond to donald trump. the statement of donald trump alleging that senator cruz is a puppet and trying to steel tal nomination. they say donald trump is a sore looser. this is donald trump in full meltdown mode. >> let's go to the bernie sanders campaign over in wyoming. they were thrilled over there as well. >> reporter: they were and he was trying to rile people up to get out and caucus for him here. he is insisting that he has a path to victory and he will prevail. they are citing his recent ability to reduce hillary clinton's lead in pledge delegates by 80 or so delegates. it's a considerable margin between them, but the sanders campaign says they're going to keep chipping away at that until they have a pledged delegate advantage and then they're going into the convention where they will try to convince super delegates to switch their allegiance to bernie sanders. they say this will reflect the will of the voters. the clinton campaign says it y negates the will of the voters. bernie sanders says we are

donald trump is behind. donald trump not only won but won big. he's losing now in the second, third and fourth steps of the process. very much like ron paul did in 2012. the cruz people now mastering the system. what's happening? let me give you one example. look in virginia. donald trump won the nine th congressional district in coal country. donald trump won it huge. he won some by 55%, 56%. he gets three delegates for that one county. he will get those delegates. they will go to the convention and must vote for trump on the first ballot. this is what's happening in state after state in district after district. y all these trump delegates must vote for him on the furst ballot. if he doesn't get there on the first ballot, then they are free agents and many of them are aligned with cruz. they understand that first ballot could be everything. >> just basically, trump is ahead in the total delegate count. some of those delegates are essentially not really trump supporters. they just maybe will have to vote for trump at the first round but it gets t

for donald trump. but the hard working men and women of wisconsin stood and campaigned tirelessly to make sure tonight was a victory for every american. >> meantime democrat bernie sanders is already looking forward to elections in wyoming and new york. after his decisive win in the badger state where he earned more than 55% of the total vote. >> this campaign has won seven of the last eight caucuses and primaries. with your help on saturday, we're going on win here in wyoming. then we are headed to new york. and i know a little bit about new york because i spent the first 18 years of my life in brooklyn, new york. >> voters in wisconsin turning the tables on front-runners donald trump and hillary clinton. and a check of the exit polls might help us understand why. >> as we've seen, senator ted cruz pulls out a needed win in wisconsin. donald trump's persona may have helped cruz gain the victory in the badger state. here's why. nearly a quarter of wisconsin republican primary voters are excited about t

donald trump doesn't do that. he says he is a character. >> i think what we are seeing is a microcosm of the trump campaign that is actually experiencing an identity crisis now. you have the angel on his one shoulder, paul manafort telling him look, you know. >> i don't know about angel. >> i use the term loosely. being brash got you this far. if you want to get to the next level, you have to pivot like in rocky, he switches and quits fighting as a south paw to use a very old reference. what happens is when trump is in front of the audience and says these funny, controversial lines, he gets applause. that's the temptation. >> they have been trying to paint him as racist, bigoted, islamaphobic. they make him into a different thing every week. they poured $70 million into attacking donald trump, three times what donald trump spent on the entire campaign. instead of anyone believing those things, republican voters are saying we see through the act, through the facade and he called for temporary ban of >> non-u.s. cit

if you would think donald trump lost tonight, donald trump had a major sweeping win. >> this is the difference. this is what i keep trying to say. this is the difference between all of us, a/k/a, the political class and the folks i saw at the donald trump rally in harrisburg, pennsylvania, who could care less about this and would root for him to take us all. >> they love that pe is going back against the elites that diggs t disdain him. >> the more they try to stop him, to improose their will, th better he does. this alliance has failed. >> it is just a bar om ter of how fed up people are. i don't know whether it is donald trump himself. he has an awful lot to do with it because he is a good communicator and great brander of himself. people are fed up, feel betrayed in the republican party. >> one more crack at this. >> the more the elite and the establishment complain about donald trump, it doesn't matter. >> how does hillary clinton run against donald trump? >> easily. >> she is plenty tough. she is tough. she has to advance these ideas. that's the whole reason for doing it. she is not a nat

trump reacting to donald trump's statement today. ted cruz put out this tweet, we shouldn't be facilitating putting little girls alone in a bathroom with grown men. that's just a bad, bad idea. you helped run your father's campaign and i have a sense that your father probably feels the same way that ted cruz does on this issue. so we're asking you, you know, where do you come down? >> look, i don't disagree. i have a daughter. i don't want her in a bathroom with somebody that just decided to go in there because they think that there are little girls in there and that's appropriate. i think the big question here is what for a presidential campaign or what are the issues americans are focused on. i think this is a big distraction and -- >> why is this a distraction though, sarah? >> well, again, i think it's because they can't beat donald trump on the issues that voters are going to the ballot box focused on -- >> but this is something voters in north carolina care very much about. do you think donald trump needs to correct the stateme

that's donald trump. if you are the other republican candidates going through these five states tonight it's a tough argument to make you are competitive in this race especially to put tonight into context this was supposed to be ted cruz's wheelhouse. these are republican voters. there aren't that many reporters across the south to turn these states to donald trump. we know donald trump is winning all five. we know he's looking for a big delegate haul, 100 plus to add to his count. that's momentum. can he get to 1,237 by the convention? difficult, but he's making the odds better. >> in these five wins on the republican side for donald trump in delaware it's winner take all so he'll get all 16 delegates, if you look at connecticut, maryland and pennsylvania, if he wins those districts it's winner take all, although in pennsylvania you have this system where the delegates are free agents. >> let's start with pennsylvania we'll have to go through their individual delegates in the districts, we'll have to go

donald trump retracted. the american people benefit from having someone who provides access and isn't afraid to see chris matthews who is obviously ideologically opposite of donald trump. >> kayleigh makes a good point. you have to give credit to donald trump for going to an interview over at msnbc. maybe he was overconfident. i don't know what the calculation of it was. he does make himself more available. to "the new york times." i don't think any other candidate has given that lengthy of an interview focused on foreign policy. >> he makes himself very available to the media. what we're seeing is the weakness of his overall campaign. he's gotten far -- this far ahead because of the strength of his personality. right now the campaign needs to take control and guide him. i think that's was a miscalculation for him to go on chris matthews. someone at that campaign should have been able to tell him, a, this is a bad idea because there's not a lot of gop primary voters watching chris matthews and msnbc. if you

view of donald trump. that's a very, very low number and the abortion comments certainly don't help that number. i spoke to a number of women here in milwaukee today and asked them how they felt about donald trump and it really divides wrong generational lines. the younger women don't like his bombbast, the older women were more apt to give him the benefit of the doubt. what they'll face after this, what leaders have told me, in order to mitigate the stem, the bleeding, really, they're going to have to focus on the older women, white women voters, and try to stop the bleeding from the younger women voters in the republican party in general and that should be a play when it comes to wisconsin on tuesday. one thing that is in trump's favor in this state is that it is an open primary, it means that there is a staple day registration. traditionally, that has gone well for donald trump. he is not necessarily a republican party candidate. but he has been able to bring over independents and maybe even some of the

>> donald trump is running this campaign. and i'm working directly for donald trump. but i'm working with the whole team as well. >> that is washington lobbyist and republican party insider paul manafort, who has taken over the trump campaign now that the worst campaign manager ever, cory lewandowski, and the gang that couldn't shoot straight at the trump campaign, have managed to lose delegates and states where donald trump won the most votes. the question that paul manafort will never be asked in washington is why did you do it? why did you go to work for donald trump after having worked for republicans like bob dole, george h.w. bush, ronald reagan, gerald ford? all reasonable republicans, all decent and dignified men. and now paul manafort is working for the most relentlessly ignorant vul garian in the history of republican party presidential politics. paul manafort has the kind of political resume that would more likely find him on the never trump team. willie sutton, one of the most famous american bank robbers of the 1930s, when he was asked why he robbed banks

donald trump, regardless of how bad these polls look. he has a floor that's higher than any other candidate. i mean, is he going to get 25, 35, even 40% in some of these states. where ted cruz mighty;beat him in wisconsin. but, trump, you know, two weeks later in new york, has a very high floor. and is position to do do extremely well there. >> what about james? so 56 in new york versus cruz at 20 and kasich at 19%. that's 95 delegates. >> yeah. but the way new york works is every congressional district in new york gets the same number of delegates. charlie rangel's district in harlem has the same number of delegates as pete king's district. and so i think trump could do well in some of the more democratic districts. cruz could end up doing well in some of the more conservative districts. i think they end up splitting the delegates. contested seems inevitable. >> you think wisconsin. the whole ball of wax, the whole kit and caboodle comes down to wisconsin? >> i don't think it mathematically. you know, trump could obviously still get the

bernie sanders or donald trump. that is a core issue and a cause of a lot of problems with making transnational agreements like nafta. we are looking at another overhaul with obama trade coming up. people are very aware. >> while jeb bush is back up making news this morning and giving an interview on cnn this morning talking about the possibility of an open convention and nobody getting to 1237. he was asking if they should get around trump if he is the nominee. they should support ted cruz. what do you say to that? he has bush staffers and the bush common core people are running his financial team. that makes sense to me. ted cruz is the washington insider now. if you want a candidate to continue the status quo, you have an option. if you want an outsider that has created tens of thens of jobs and someone out there for decades doing good and wanting to give back, a candidate who is invested in the success or failure, there is one candidate and that's donald trump. >> thanks for the time. >> great to be here. thank

ads against donald trump, but i don't see any more effective voice against donald trump than donald trump's own voice. that's what you used in effect against him in that interview with him. >> yeah. the unfortunate thing is that nothing seems to move the hard core trumpcans, even that really creepy, but we discovered we can put together a coalition of the sane and in wisconsin there's going to be 35% or so of people who are going to accept anything that donald trump says, no matter what, but then you have the 65% to 7 0% of republican conservatives who look at this and go this man is unfit to be president of the united states. this is appalling behavior. there are the folks out there, the coalition of the decent and sane. hopefully you folks can do that in new york. >> stuart stevens, one of the silliest things i've been hearing for many weeks now are people who come on and say they're going to get him in line and he's going to turn and become presidential. you have worked with a lot of candidates and i'm sure you've spent a lot of time trying to switch the style of a lot of candida

but donald j. trump. you know what, we need a president who understands the principle of the buck stops here. donald trump needs to learn to take some responsibility for himself. and if he wants to make the case, show up and debate. don't hide behind your media surrogates. because you're terrified of scrutiny. answer the questions from the voters. have it be a town hall, real hoosiers asking real questions about real problems. and if donald is too terrified to answer the questions asked by the people of indiana, how on earth is he going to stand on a debate stage with hillary clinton. if he's scared of the voters now, how bad do you think he would be in a general election. and by the way, we've all seen a candidate in a general election who's a loose cannon who will say any given thing on any given day, who will wake up one day and say as donald trump did that he thinks women should be punished for having abortions. that's an absurd position. >> one he walked back. >> you're right, every day if donald tru

donald trump is expected to take his home state. state.she is hoping she can clam victory in the new york primary. we have video of her voting. she was in chappaqua where she lives. she voted this morning. it's north of here by 30 minutes. then she went to washington, d.c. she was speaking at a union conference. that's wrapped up and she will be back in new york for the 9:00 p.m. rally at the sheraton. she is turning her sites to donald trump. >> the republican frontrunner for president says wages are too high in america. i said before, i don't know who he's talking to. because americans deserve a raise. reporter: not so fast says bernie sanders. yes, americans deserve a raise, but hillary clinton should not be the president to give it to him. he walked time as square, then headed off to pennsylvania. i said don't give up on the political revolution. here is what sanders had to say to them..york voting for mr. sanders as well. charles: what's the vibe like at the trump headquarters, donald? >> it is sort of a carnival-like atmospher

i'm not anti-donald trump. but i've talked to so many republicans who are afraid of an absolute wipeout with donald trump at the top of the ticket, that i want to be a -- very cautious of bias, which happens in the media, when ted cruz and everybody in wisconsin thought he was winning the nomination. donald trump had a big night tonight. he's got to get another 170 delegates. there's a lot of hand-to-hand delegate combat going on here. but i also think there's going to be a real -- a few weeks here where the republican party says are we going to abandon everything that we have become over the last 30 years, just because donald trump taps into our deep-seeded hostility to the obama administration policies abroad and at home. and secretary clinton's manifest unreadiness to be president. the server controversy, the libya fiasco, egyptian fiasco. it's going to be fascinating. >> hugh, donald trump's problems in wisconsin started on conservative talk radio with charlie sykes, local radio host there. does indiana hav

is donald trump imploding. some are saying his statetement after the loss last night and the lack of organization on the ground are signs. bernie wasn't the on the winner last night. ted cruz celebrating after a big win in wisconsin. could this be the turning point in a gop race? >> tonight i a turning point. it's a rallying cry. it's a call from the hard-working men and women of wisconsin to the people of america. and as a result of tonight, as a result of the people of wisconsin defying the media, defying the pundits, i'm more and more convinced our campaign is going to earn the 1,237 delegates needed for the republican nomination. charles: fox newexit polls show cruz commanding support in just about everybody voter category, old, young, and conservative and evangelical christians. joining me now, ron, let me go to you. you are a national spokeman for the ted cruz campaign. big win for you guy last night. larger than the polls suggested. what do you attribute that to? is it more about the establishment, the m

after being introduced, she took a shot at the republican front-runner, donald trump. >> donald trump and hillary clinton are two sides of the same coin. they are both liberal, we know that. but, hillary clinton, like so many politicians, she has made her millions selling access and influence from inside the system. and donald trump has made his billions buying people like hillary clinton. mark: so what does donald trump himself think of this pick? he gave a window into his thinking this morning, more than nine hours before cruz made the formal announcement, as rumors swirled. hisbillionaire was making sleepy voice victory lap into some morning shows and reacted to the possibility of fiorina, on "good morning america." >> i think it would be a bad choice. i mean, she did not resonate, not because she is a woman but carly did not resonate at all with the people. she will not do the trick. i like her and she is a nice person, that she never resonated. she did not do well. she was very low in the polls and by the end she was an insignificant player. bring carly back it is ok but that is

ted cruz or donald trump? and donald trump wins that question, the painful question with a lot of people. mostly because they feel he doesn't believe anything. and to ted cruz really does. and some liberals feel they have a lot more to fear from him. rory, on the top trump movement, where would they be tonight? if they had to ask voters who to vote for instead of ted cruz? >> let e's step back a second. ted cruz probably welcomed the comments today. this an accomplishment for the republican primary and having members of congress saying they had a hard time working with cruz is part of his stump speech. i don't any he thinks of it as a bad timing in indiana for this to happen. let's also put into perspective what the consequences are of a donald trump nomination on that legislative body on the house and the senate. donald trump's polling is so disastrous across all 50 states. in mississippi in a general matchup, hillary clinton is in the margin of error. hillary clinton is leading in one of the most republican

donald trump got zero. donald trump says that's unfair, but the thing to keep in mind is all the rules are different in every state. look at south carolina. donald trump won south carolina. he got 33% of the vote. the way they do the delegates, every congressional district, there's seven here, if you win a congressional district you get three delegates from it. donald trump won all the districts. he got all 50 delegates from this state. 100% of the delegates for 33% of the vote. if you look at this, there's a pattern here. donald trump has gotten and you can see he's gotten more delegates. he's gotten about 47% of the delegates given out on the republican side with 37% of the actual vote. so overall these rules vary by state, but overall they've benefitted trump. >> steve schmidt, if you were running the trump campaign on your to-do list on the calendar, w what would be the separation between the announcement day and the day we started working on our delegate plan. >> nine to ten minutes. it's a complicated

that is the donald trump i want to see. i think that's the donald trump we will see. i think we're finally seeing someone who thinks that he's the presumptive nominee, likely is, tonight he won by 35 percentage points. that's where it currently stands. that's more than any poll basically was predicting. he's finally at the place where he thinks he's got this up. everyone, we were all sitting here saying thxd be a turning point for the trump campaign. he just lost with wisconsin. he won dramatically tonight. i think he's comfortable and i think that's the donald trump we'll see going forward. >> you also see the impact of david who said, you see the impact, the team that he has hired. i mean, he has now a bigger team in place clearly they're having a heavier hand in advising. >> no doubt about it. i mean this is someone who came on to the political scene, never having run for anything. never having been a part of the campaign would dominate. it took everyone bli surprise. and now you're seeing the well-oiled machine really hammering out how it should look as he goes in

a clean sweep for donald trump. all five for donald trump. he wins pennsylvania, maryland, connecticut, rhode island and delaware. big wins for hillary clinton, three big wins so far. pennsylvania, maryland and delaware. now rhode island goes to bernie sanders. a win for bernie sanders in rhode island. that's his first win. we're still waiting for connecticut to -- we're still waiting for connecticut. we'll see what's going on there. we're waiting also to hear from donald trump. he's about to give a big victory speech. he just won five -- all five of the republican presidential primaries. we'll take a quick break and be right back. >>> donald trump getting ready to address the supporters over at the trump towers. on the republican side trump wins pennsylvania, maryland, connecticut, rhode island and delaware. on the democratic side hillary clinton wins pennsylvania, that's the biggest prize of the night, maryland and delaware. she wins three so far. bernie sanders has just won we have projected the winner in rhode island. we're still waiting

donald trump is in california right now. i wonder how his supporters are going to take to the fact that donald trump funhas been fundin. why does donald trump purport to be a conservative republican and yet generously opens up his checkbook to defeat candidates and elect candidates who the republican party is trying to defeat all the time. >> barry, do you want to respond to that? >> give me a break. >> they don't like anybody in 202 area code unless they've endorsed them. >> what about that he's supporting liberal democrats. >> there's no secret that he's supported a lot of people. he's given a lot of donations. he's not a liberal democrat. it's not true. >> this is not over his life time. this is recently. >> like when. >> jerry brown, liberal democratic governor of -- >> when? >> $14,000 has gone to jerry brown, gavin newsome. >> what for? >> gavin newsome for governor and -- >> how long ago was that. >> a couple years. >> what, like it doesn't matter? >> the way you said it, it seems like he's out there campaigning and s

and donald trump's comments on the iranian nuclear deal, donald trump and hillary clinton agree on the iranian nuclear deal. just this week in the speech donald said he would keep this agreement in place because we have to honor our commitments. no, donald, we do not have to honor barack obama's misguided commitments that endanger america and endanger israel. that is purely an executive agreement. i'm not sure donald knows what executive agreement is. but it was not confirmed by the senate, it wasn't passed into law, which means the next executive can change it. you want a clear difference between donald and me? on day one, i will rip to shreds this catastrophic nuclear deal because when the ayatollah khamenei chants "death to america" he means it. and the threat of an iranian nuclear weapon, 1 nuclear weapon in the atmosphere over america could set off an emp, electromagnetic pulse, take down the electrical grid along the eastern seaboard and cost tens of millions of lives. we need a president that understands those threats. let me make one final point on this. it's now been 49 days s

we have seen the real donald trump. half republicans support him that leaves another half that do not. as i a democrat i am happy real donald trump will be out there front and from. this speaks to donald's inability to work with others even people he hires. he's in a primary right now. that is different than the general election if he is nominee. you have to play nice with congress and the pentagon and our allies. donald trump's stick has been working for a long time. he hit a bump in the road and he would be best to listen to the advisor and that's not the case and that's the true donald trump. he doesn't want to take advice from others. >> people out there think that playing nice with others got us in a quagmire and they are looking for candidates that can kick the tail. >> i am not sure that idea is fully vetted out. what we have turned the election 2016 into the angriest darkest natures of who we are and the trump candidacy represents that in the most vibrant way. and what it is telling about this story coming out.

see donald trump winning here, donald trump winning here, donald trump winning here. for ted cruz the message would be i stopped you in the midwest, won a key battleground state. we go east, if you look here you would be inclined to think this map favors donald trump more than ted cruz. what cruz is hoping is a big victory tonight to give him momentum. the next contest in donald trump's home state. if donald trump wins them all, then wisconsin won't feel so bad. but ted cruz is hoping that he can come into new york after that and maybe have a scenario where he has won here and taken the delegates then comes into new york and maybe donald trump wins but you keep him lower and split the delegates. so it's about math and momentum tonight. right now as we have this conversation, donald trump needs 56% about of the remaining delegates to get to 1,237. if he gets shut out in wisconsin tonight, that math gets more difficult. that's why tonight is so important. >> tonight's important. and two weeks from tonight the new york state primary. and if he gets more than 50%, trump i

donald trump doesn't need to change. he's winning, and you saw today in his speech, in washington on foreign policy, the same donald trump, the speech he gave today, framed his vision in foreign policy. but he's been making those same points on the campaign trail over the course of the last several months. it's not a new trump. just new environments in which donald trump is speaking his positions. >> here's how politico wrote it up. donald trump is bristling at efforts to introduce a more conventional campaign strategy and expressed misgivings about the political guru behind them. donald trump expressed concerns to bolster the campaign by bringing in associates from his lobbying days, campaign insiders say it's become increasingly clear that trump for all of his boasts about his ability to become more presidential is unwilling or unable to follow through and resents efforts to transform him. >> that's the -- >> fair? >> not fair at all. it's the ted cruz line. donald trump is running on issues as an outsider. he's talked

so donald trump never gave him h the donald trump treatment,ld t which is i'm going to run you into the grounds as much as i can. ronica makes an important pointn about this in that walker antrum p is in a situation right now if they don't stop him in wisconsin, can he be stopped? >> i think this is a must win for cruz, if because if you look at the map we're going to be going to the northeast, newnort york, that's trump territory. cruz must win on tuesday. next we will focus on the democrats leading up to wisconsin. and bernie sanders he earned some late night tv laves. fox5 on the hill back in a moment. moment. bring back the housecall? open walk-in clinics in convenient places? help more moms get prenatal care? or use technology to find insights that lower health care costs? maybe help doctors spend more time with patients, not paper work? what if you did all of this, and more? because it's all connected to better care, and better care means better health. unitedhealth group: built for better health. welcome back to fox5 new on the hill. turning to the democrats, ahead of the wiscons

-- variables when it comes to donald trump. the playbook general election is easier when it comes to ted cruz because it follows the standards that they've used. donald trump has kind of a different playbook. >> right. well, it will make everything unpredictable. i think if you were to look at the other republican presidential candidates who have sort of been vanquished by trump, you can see how somebody like a marco rubio, who is this rising star, was really dispatched with and that trump has this way of labeling people, now it's crooked hillary which, again, nobody else would actually say, no other candidate would actually say. we have seen how these things attach to the candidates and take on a life of their own. i think running against him is precarious. >> but can he detach the unfavorables that he has because they are higher than hillary's. >> well, that's the ultimate question. i guess we are going to have to see if that's something that he can turn around. but they also, both have very high distrust numbers as well. so

donald trump speaking in buffalo, new york. you see him on the podium, 65% of americans have a negative view of donald trump. that compares to only 49% with a negative view of ted cruz. however, in the same poll, republicans are increasingly on board with trump as their nominee. 63% said they would be satisfied with trump at the top of the ticket. that is up just ten points in one month. obviously, statistically significant on that front. "outfront" tonight, donald trump's son, eric trump. good to see you again. >> good to be here. >> your father said if he's the nominee, he's going to stay, in his words, unpresidential until he wins the general election. even if he's competing against hillary clinton. with unfavorables like those, though, are you telling him that he needs to change his tone? >> no, not at all. if you look at ronald reagan, one of the greatest presidents we've ever had, had massive unfavorables as well. my father is amazing and a great guy. you see the votes. you see what's going to happen tomorrow. we're going

the stomping ground of a young donald trump. >> the neighborhood when donald trump was a boy, was a rather privileged community. it was fairly conservative. queens was still a republican borough until i would say the late '50s. >> this wealthy enclave of manicured lawns and tudor horses was built as an oasis to city life. it was where donald trump's father, fred trump, built this house for his growing family. >> they were very quiet, unassuming in the neighborhood. and private people. donald trump he's kind of an anomaly in the trump family. he was kind of a devil, an impish kind of kid who was always getting himself in trouble. >> pawn onish knowns that devilish side. >> we frequently got detention for passing notes back and forth, throwing spitballs at each other and talking out of turn. >> he was one of trump's best friends in middle school. young donald at ownish's bar mitzvah party in the striped jacket. he's the lead in the school musical, opposite him, donald trump who played his shipmate. he said his friend, who he called donny, was a polarizing figure even back then. >> he was a l

covered hillary clinton and donald trump. clinton 14 states, donald trump 15. we also had the senate race. we had james arkin talking about the senate primary. that we needhing to cover, we do cover. you know, donald trump has kind of wanted out of the sun. this is a fair criticism of the news media where we are not focusing as much on these as we can. if you going to real clear looks forebsite, james arkin. he spoke about the senate race. also, look at our coverage of the presidential race. she was with trump headquarters at trump towers. and, our white house correspondent, david weiler, one of our political candidates spoke about the primary. the colors right, congress is important. up next, we have tim cullinan from maine. you are on. is, whymy question hasn't the news media asked questions about what donald trump is talking about bringing back terrorists. the only way that will happen is that the united states would have to quit the wto to do that. i want to know why the news media is not questioning that. host: let's let tom respond. well, this is a thing

maureen dowd with donald trump. some of the key points are he admitted he said that if he had it to do over again he wouldn't have retweeted that picture of heidi cruz, this week, saying yeah, it was a mistake if i had to do it over again i wouldn't have sent it. also, when he was asked if his campaign manager should have called the reporter that he grabbed the arm of, michelle fields, and given her a call after the incident et cetera, trump said yes, you're right. but from what i understand it wouldn't have mattered. that saying yes, he probably should have given her a call. this is not what we're used to hearing, making these admissions that i could have done stuff better. what does that tell you, van? >> that he is in a bit of a panic. here's the thing. all that is good. i'm glad that he's saying that. i'm glad he's admitting error. but you know, i have children that get to admissions of error within minutes, maybe hours, this is a week plus later for some of this stuff. part of the thing is when you're president

donald trump took home 3. donald trump with 740 delegates, on the democratic side bernie sanders won delegates. hillary clinton securing 31 including superdelegates. not including superdelegates. hill has 1,274 to sanders 1,025. the candidates reacted very differently to the results. mike is live this morning on the ground. mike, good morning to you. >> and good morning to you, maria. everybody is still in the fight. ted cruz insisting that he defy the media and pundits that predicted that wisconsin would be perfect for trump and he's on the way to getting 1230 delegates before the convention. >> tonight is a turning point, it is aurallying -- a rallying try. of the 17 candidates who started the race, a terrific talented dynamic field, five have now endorsed this campaign. [cheers and applause] >> donald j. trump, campaign issuing statement that reads in part, ted cruz is worst than a puppet, attempting to steal the nomination from mr. trump. over on the democratic side sanders, seventh win in eight contest. >

donald trump is going to do what donald trump is going to do. he is going to bash people. cruz has to offer that clear vision. >> one of the greeat things abot ted cruz, the guy is a genius. this guy -- he saw a very long time ago when nobody else saw it that there was a big, big current building and he figured out i can go to d.c., i can crap on my party and i will be rewarded for it. he's the last guy standing with any real chance against donald trump and a lot of the people he o fended are with him. >> he's not doing well. ted cruz should have won a state in the southeast. he did not win a single state in the southeast. in addition to that -- he wrote after the entire northeast as well as when he made the new york values comment. the people have rejected him at the polls. they are coalescing around donald trump. donald trump coming out of nowhere and winning the way he is never having been in politics. that's the story. >> trump failed to consolidate his support and he -- he had an opportunity to do that when he was winning and winning and winning and he didn't do that

who would vote for donald trump. with their corresponding numbers at the convention. but the trump campaign people, their voting guide, misspelled some tellings' names and accidently told trump supporters to vote for one of ted cruz's delegates. team trump put out a corrected version but it still had errors. listing several delegates with the wrong number code in short the trump campaign was a mess ask the cruz campaign wag organized and efficient. all of that added up to a ted cruz sweep help got all of colorados' delegates but trump is not about to admit he was one-upped. instead he is on an attack, the new convention manager cuckoos thing cruz cam ain't using the tactics of nazis. >> it's going to going wear thi. you see the gestapo tactics -- >> that's a strong world. >> we're going to file protests because the reality is they're not playing by the rules outbut they have played by the rules. the cruz campaign responded with twitter snark. a spokeswoman retweeted the rules were available for months for people who

donald trump is just getting on to that. donald trump is that tactical operator. the difference between strategic operator and tactical operator. tactics paid off very big for donald trump. he's a great entertainer. he understands television. all of those things. but i would caution going too far with trump changing. i'm not so sure that he's capable of changing. the other cautionary note is -- >> let me ask you before you get on to that. if he's not capable of changing. if he's the front guy, the face, if he can't change, what about behind the scenes, can his campaign become more strategic than tactical? >> i don't think so because i think donald trump is the campaign. you have a bunch of operatives who run the campaign. >> you said the other caution is what? the other warning? >> the other cautionary note is this is a very important vote tomorrow. trump has not lost it. naturally, the campaign coverage follows the polls. the expectation is that ted cruz wul win wisconsin. that's my expectation. just a cautionary note to the ted cruz supporters and others that ol

on the republican side it's donald trump. he's not beholden to special interests who want to keep open borders and hurt manufacturing be. >> reporter:s in the country. but we're going to get to 1,237. donald trump is the candidate that will be the gop nominee, he's going to beat hillary in november, and the other candidates even know this because just a few days ago, they were saying that donald trump doesn't stand a chance, he's not going to make that number, then you hear about this secret deal to prevent that from happening. donald trump is the only candidate, as of today, that has a pathway to the nomination. >> set the scene for us, tomorrow at noon eastern, he's going to be delivering a major foreign policy address, going into significant detail on national security, international affairs. a carefully drafted speech he will presumably deliver via teleprompter. he hasn't done much of that, only once before. how important is that speech tomorrow? >> it's going to be very important. we do have a party that, for whatever re

it played into donald trump's hands of donald trump saying the system is rigged and yet they didn't seem to commit to it because john kasich wasn't really clear whether he was telling voters in indiana to vote for him or not. >> i have this image of kasich being dragged into this deal that was cut by their staffs kicking and screaming. he's been grouchy about it. he's not happy about it, but it's a last ditch effort. >> cruz is selling it as john kasich is pulling out of indiana. >> they talk about trump being on message. these two candidates had no message on this and different messages in fact. i think it's just it's evidence of the math. >> i think this -- >> slightly unbalanced deal one way where clearly kasich has no idea really what his role is, senator cruz runs with the ball and they're all running around in circles. a deal put together in desperation. >> i think it was symbolic of this primary race in so many ways. donald trump, his strength is whatever he believes for the seven minutes he believes it he says it and sells it. these guys did not have their heart in this. it was t

that is donald trump. it's going to be very hard for the republican party to tell a plurality of majority of voters that they're not going to get what they want. i don't see it happening. >> there's something very interesting at the tactical level which maybe shows the trump campaign is getting its act together. in pennsylvania, which donald trump won by a lot, outright, and he won all 17 of the statewide delegates there, he also apparently, we believe, picked up the support of many, the majority of the 54 unbound delegates. those are delegates who are directly elected. at least 29, probably more than that, tell cnn they will vote for donald trump. that's a key organizational victory. it makes his sweep last night all the more impressive. >> yeah, that sort of thing is key at this point. the only way trump can be defeated -- and dylan is right. it's next to impossible at this point. ted cruz has to win indiana, and a bunch of things have to break against donald trump. his campaign really has got its act to

big win for donald trump in new york. anderson. >> we are of course waiting to hear from secretary clinton. we'll bring you those comments as soon as she starts to make them. >> because my home state of pennsylvania, i think is the big prize of those mid-atlantic states. and it's a very odd state and john king made reference to this, anderson, 54 of the 71 delegates are uncommitted, regardless of the result. you walk into the ballot booth, you don't know really for whom you're voting because there's no indication as to who the delegate will support. i think for a candidate like donald trump, he wants to go into pennsylvania and win convincingly so that he can say to those 54 when it gets closer to the convention, regardless of where they are disposition may lie, i want to state, i want it big, and when you're wondering how does he make up a short fall fa there is one, he turns to pennsylvanians and says, i need you to stick together as a group and put me over the top. >> he clearly mastered a message that goes to states.

standing behind donald trump. he had that flat face, of course, well, again, last night, after his victory at trump tower, he had the same face, the resting christie face as it's being called. chris christie was more exietsed to be at the springsteen concert than to be behind trump. we got to see him dancing, and i know, ladies, this may have woken you up pretty early to see chris christie dancing last might, take a look at this. ♪ there he is. so he can be excited. he can be excited and dance when he wants to. just not when he's standing behind donald trump. and here's another big hash tag that was trending last night on twitter. this is the only hash tag that was going viral. this started from the huffington post's comedy page. they said come up with some election plot twists as if we needed more. it was trending yesterday. clinton releases goldman sachs transcript? that would be a big plot twist. then another tweet from tommy campbell, final debate, the candidates afelting to build an ikea wardrobe together.

>> my father, donald trump. [applause] >> it was an entrance that was more important for a vegas act than a politician. last june donald trump had something important to say to america. >> ladies and gentlemen, i am officially running for president of the united states and we are going to make our country great again. >> the 69-year-old real estate billionaire mogul never held office and now he was going for all of the marbles. one section of his speech got the attention. >> when mexico sends his people, they are not send issing their best. they are bringing drugs, they are bringing crime, and they are rapist and i assume good people. >> this is not how candidates spoke. pundits announced his campaign dead on on arrival. >> how should they handle trump. >> ignore him. >> when he started talking about mexico sending us the rapist. i said we are in trouble. >> one of the opponents lindsay graham didn't like what trump was saying, but could sense where it was going. >> i knew he would exploit the immigration issue

donald trump went back to being donald trump today. i think that's an acknowledgement that they feel inside the campaign. you know, out of the campaign trail in indianapolis and here in maryland, he went right back to referring to ted cruz as lying ted. last night he referred to him as senator cruz. hillary clinton is now crooked hillary is the way donald trump describes her. at one point during his remarks here in maryland, don, he suggested as president, he will continue -- or he wants to investigate hillary clinton's e-mail practices. so nothing has changed in terms of that. i think if anything, we had a brief reprieve from it last night in new york. >> interesting. there is trying to pivot to the general election, saying that ted cruz is all but finished mathematically. but he still has to win a lot of delegates to capture this nomination. what is the strategy going forward? >> reporter: that's right. we obtained an internal campaign memo earlier today that is essentially distributed out to surrogates. when surrogates go on tv or a

trump will run a donald trump-type campaign. lou? lou: of that i believe, we can be assured, no matter what happens. thanks for being with us. james rosen reporting. >>> on the democratic side, hillary clinton aides telling the "boston globe" they are working to narrow a list of vice presidential candidates and, quote, there is no question a woman will be on the list. clinton's increasing competence may stem from a recent monmouth university poll which she held tos a 13-point lead over bernie sanders in the state of maryland and they vote next tuesday in maryland. >>> pennsylvania also votes the same day. a franklin and marshall poll out of pennsylvania shows clinton with a 27-point lead, but sanders believes clinton is ahead of herself. at a rally earlier today, the vermont senator explained away his defeat in new york. he blamed the closed primary system. >> we just had a democratic primary in new york state the other day. [booing] . >> i share the sentiments, but -- [laughter] >> here's the point, i don't mind losing but thre

donald trump. that...i am not used to seeing it, their top story and top trending story. awhether you agree or disagree with donald trump he used twitter as a weapon hundred dreads and hundreds of people, he seeses the air times because he makes himself available and he is interested. >> and it is free. he is being outspent as has been pointed out 10-1 but he has more traction because he is using the coverage effectively because it is free. he has figured out how to use that to amplify his personality. >> covering the rallies and when the other candidates don't get on air, that sun fair but when he subjects himself to talk show hostors anchors, that is earned media because you are taking the question. not everyone is tough. >> what is your take on why the media has thrown everything they can at donald trump and nothing sticks? >> critics say because we have not lacked into the business background. we have done all of that and the fact is people would like trillion trump and the message feel he is r

donald trump is which arely an outsider and donald trump is clearly establishing his credentials with the american people by virtue of what he said he will do changing the rigged economy and banking system and political system. again, this is ted cruz because he has in issue least trying to confuse a simple fact, he is about to be mathematically eliminated and look at what he is trying to do with the candidacy, trying to say the process doesn't matter. he is trying to say voting doesn't matter. he is trying to say that all that matters is to destroy the party and see in we can pick up the pieces on second or third or fourth ballot. we will win on the first and it will be clear june 7. we are trying to work with the mcconnells who we did not depose in tuck although we won and worked with him to put a unity slate together and bring the party together. >> wait, wait, wait. you are saying you are, oning with the senate majority leader who do a last grass roots is a symbol of the problem. >> we are working with party officials and that is an example on saturday we won the state, quote have

a very big night for donald trump. >> a huge night tore donald trump. one of the things people were paying attention to, if he is going to be the general election candidate we expect he is going to be, what is his message going to be? there were many mess rajs in that speech. he took some clear shots of hillary clinton. let's go to sarah murray at the trump headquarters in new york. sarah, in the presidential contest f it comes down to trump versus clinton, it sure looks like it is going to be vicious. trump already laying some big punches. >> i think you are absolutely right, jake. i think tonight we saw the early outlines of the general election battle. there were some questions about whether donald trump would suddenly adopt a new persona or change his tone as he prepares for a general election fight. i think we saw tonight that's just not the case. he came up with some of his hardest hits. he said the only reason she is winning so far is because she is a woman. >> the only card she has is the woman's card. she has nothing else going. frankly, if hil

a lot of populists vote for donald trump. in my mind, i have real issues with donald trump. i don't like ted cruz. i think he'd be a terrible president. i'll just leave it at that. i work with john kasich in the house. he's a good guy. >> but you have called trump unqualified. you say any new yorker who votes for cruz should have his or her head examined. so here's the question. if one of them is the republican nominee, would you consider voting for new york state's hillary clinton if she were the democratic nominee? >> i would support the nominee of the party, but the extent of my enthusiasm, i, again, if it was ted cruz, i would just support the nominee of the party but that would be the end of it. i wouldn't go any further than that. >> are you going to boycott or go to the convention in cleveland? >> no, right now i intend to go to the convention. to me, you know, we have a job to do. i am somewhat of a leader in the party, not a high ranking one, but i'm in the party. i've been there for the last 40 years, i've been active in the republican party. also i want to be ther
