for crump? how close is he to locking it up. >> the ultimate odd couple there with that endorsement. charlie, i know bob is hearing the same thing, and that is that the other campaigns think that trump could well win both ohio and florida, and politico did the math, and if trump wins ohio and florida, he then is on path to a mathematical clinch. if trump goes ahead and sweeps on tuesday, if he gets ohio and florida, he's on path to have 100 delegates to spare, to be around the 1350 neighborhood. now, he still has to keep winning. he has to win about 54% of the delegates that are left, but if you get that kind of a result on tuesday, ted cruz, who we keep talking about as the most plausible alternative, he would have to win 70% of all the delegates that are left. so suddenly, math is very much on trump's side. >> rose: all the republican establishment wants to do now, bob, is simply lead to an open convention, isn't it? they just want to to deny trump. they don't have a strategy that they can come together behind one candidate, cothey? >> i think there's a divide within the republica

victim was at the hospital today while the girl accused of the crime was in court. ed crump is live outside the courtroom at the wake county justice center. what have you learned about this attack? >> well, we've learned that while sheriff's investigators believe that the student who faced a judge here this afternoon certainly does deserve to be charged they say she didn't start the fight. a bewildered amber romero came to court this afternoon hoping to get the judge to lower her $15,000 bond but because the 18-year-old has another outstanding charge the judge refused. her mother was also in court and had later said her daughter has repeatedly been picked on and bullied at east wake high school. a week ago today she was headed home on a bus with other students and according to sheriff another girl threw a lunch bag that hit romero and led to a fight. off a large hunk of the other girl's ear lobe. the girl's mother says they both feel bad about it. >> i truly feel sorry for the family and me and my daughter sincerely apologize and i'm sorry this happened. i just want to apologize to

rodriguez were found behind in arab red. eyewitness news was first on the scene and ed crump has been working this story all day. you are the only reporter to speak with the mother. what the chi tell you? reporter: through tears, she said even as she has no idea who killed her son, she already forgives them. the distraught mother looked at a picture of her dead son on an investigators cell phone and said she positively identified him. she said pedro reyes was a good man who didn't like violence and can't imagine who would want to murder him. found shot to death in a black honda pilot on glenwood avenue. son's car. police spent 14 hours combing the area for clues, including the roof of a nearby office building. at the same time, she talked to her son wednesday afternoon as he arrived at work. >> he said i'm going to hang up on you but i love you. i'd don't know what happened to my baby. reporter: it is so difficult to see a grieving parent, especially one who has lost a child to a violent crime. she says that they do know the other victim and the two men were friends. anna: thank

start with the big political story of the day. crump/cruz -- i mean trump. maybe i coined something new there, "crump." what is your sense of winners and losers here? >> it is the completely readily show takeover of the 2016 cycle. it's bizarre. but i guess the real world implications for ted cruz, alex, are that ted cruz needs to win in wisconsin. it's very important. it's been called the mass aada the stop trump campaign. ted cruz is winning most weekly church going white evangelicals, in addition to tea party supporters and movement conservatives. anything that could potentially shake the faith, quote unquote, the secular faith of that base in ted cruz, in his veracity, honest, and integrity, could hurt him and allow donald trump to sneak by. that's the big risk for ted cruz. on the trump side, the risk is that it raises his negatives in so high, republicans decide they simply cannot have somebody of that moral character, connected to the "national inquirer," as their standard bearer and the stop trump movement begins to galvanize behind ted cruz. >> rebecca, gop leaders are incr
