clinton's saying they'll approach it the same way, if you elect hillary clinton, you're electing another term of president obama. what trump didn't do is layout a specific vision for how he would act as president. he said he would have an america first approach to foreign policy, and said he wants a better, closer relationship with russia and with china. but he was careful not to reveal too many specifics. part of that in his view is by design. he feels like america broadcast too much of a strategy. he said in his speech, it is important to be unpredictable when it comes to these things. >> in terms of campaign strategy, he has been going after hillary clinton more and more often these days. >> reporter: that's right. i think what you're seeing is a reflection that donald trump thinks now he is the presumptive republican nominee, believes he will be taking on hillary clinton in a general election, i think we're seeing an early preview of what the battle will look like. saw a lot of it at donald trump's victory night event where he said hillary clinton is only winning because she'

qualify as a more civil tone. now, we are awaiting hillary clinton expected to appear at any moment in a campaign event in buffalo, new york, the former secretary moving her campaign operation upstate today. this is just hours after rival clinton and sanders had separate interviews, each engaging the state of the race. first hillary clinton sitting down with "today"'s matt lawyer. >> he doesn't think you're qualified to be president. >> well, that will be up to the voters of new york and the other states that will be passing judgment in the weeks ahead. i think it's kind of a silly statement, but he's free to say whatever he chooses. >> then senator sanders, who backed down from his questions about the former secretary's readiness for the oval office. >> here's the truth. 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 an in iffi infinit better president than either of the republican candidates. >> she's qualified. >> of course. >>> and keeping the heat on ted cruz over those controversial remarks on

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 natural politician. she is a natural policy person, effective in her leadership jobs. she has to play her game, not his. she is not going to get up there like marco rubio and attack his fingers or hands. she is going to play her game. trump is going to have to play his. it will be an asymmetrical ballot blchlt ballot. >> she is part of the political class. she is a politician. >> you think it is going to be easy for her. >> yeah. >> more outsiders. >> i think it hurts her in the same way it has hurt all these other republicans. >> why do you think it is going to be easy? i don't see that. isn't he an opponent unlike any that any has sort of faced? >> yes. he also has the highest unfavorables of any politician or nonpolitician that has run since gallop started running favorables. since 1920, women can vote, yes? is that true? if so, i think that's going to have a bi

unified party. >> huge victories for donald trump and hillary clinton. the presidential front runners front running even more now, getting closer to clinching their party's nominations and taking a turn toward the general election. good morning, everyone. welcome to this special edition of "early start." i'm john berman. >> and i'm christine romans. it is wednesday, april 27th. it is 4:00 a.m. in the east. a big night for the front runners, donald trump and hillary clinton, but it was a huge night for trump, who swept a victory in all five states voting tuesday and by big margins. in rhode island, almost 64%. in delaware, another wide margin, 60%. in connecticut, 57.7%. in pennsylvania, almost 57%. in maryland, he had a margin of victory 54.4%. >> big, big wins. also a big night for hillary clinton. she won pennsylvania nearly 56% of the vote there. in maryland, hillary clinton hit 63%. in delaware, she won with about 60%. in connecticut, hillary clinton got 51%. that was a little closer. bernie sanders, he won rhode island. he got 55% of the vote in rhode island. both hillary clinton

, because the democratic race is running express. hillary clinton and bernie sanders now in a high-speed spat over who is qualified to be president of the united states. things kickoff tuesday when cnn reported that the clinton campaign has a new three-part strategy to beat sanders. one disqualify him, two, defeat him, and three unify the party later on. "linton went on "morning joe and was asked about sanders interview with the new york editorial board. >> do you believe that bernie sanders is qualified and ready to be president of the united states? sec. clinton: i think the interview raised a lot of serious questions. sec. sanders: let me just say in response to secretary clinton. i don't believe that she is qualified. i don't think that you are qualified if you get $15 million from wall street through your super pacs. [applause] think you are qualified if you have voted for the disastrous war in iraq. [applause] clinton: i don't know why he is saying that. i will take bernie sanders over donald trump, over ted cruz anytime. sec. sand -- clintonders: secretary thinks they are going to

, can hillary clinton snap bernie sanders' winning streak? "the lead" starts right now. good afternoon, welcome to a special edition of "the lead." i'm jake tapper. live in new york. here is something that hardly ever happens here in the empire state. primary vote here actually matters on both sides of 0 the aisle. new yorkers playing a crucial role for the first time in decades. democrats have 247 delegates at stake here. republicans have 95. four presidents born in new york, republican front-runner voting new york central s synagog synagogue, a few blocks from trump tower, he would lik to be number five. >> who are you voting for? >> easy decision. >> hillary clinton voted at an elementary school in the suburb of chap pa qua with former president bill clinton. >> just urge everybody, come out and vote before 9:00 p.m. tonight. >> brook will-born bernie sanders does not vote in new york, since he obviously lives in vermont but that did not stop him from making this prediction -- >> we are feeling very good. there's a large voter turnout, despite the impediment of 3 million p

the new york primary. big wins tonight for donald trump and hillary clinton. cnn projects the billionaire businessman will take the empire state by a wide margin. even though trump was heavily favored in his home state, this is perhaps his most significant and important win so far. >> let's take a look at the numbers, then, shall we? trump far and away the winner with 60% of the vote as you see there on your screen. ohio governor john kasich in second with 25% and texas senator ted cruz in third place with 14%. trump is projected to add 89 delegates to his total, bringing him to 847. here's the thing. here's the goal. he's trying to reach the magic number of 1,237 so he can clinch the party's nomination before july's convention. ted cruz will not win a single delegate in new york because he did not win a district. >> that's a big goose egg for ted cruz. trump told his supporters, though, this win was special. >> i have great, great admiration and praise for the city of new york and the state of new york. i can think of nowhere that i would rather have this victory. >> let's ta

. secondly vote for cruz or trump frankly is a vote for hillary clinton i have some new numbers here that came came out of new hampshire. let me tell you, hillary is at 50, trump at 31. hillary at 48, cruz at 34. then third match uphill reis at 36 and john kasich at 50. what's really amazehe surveyed the voters in new hampshire who actually voted in the republican primary which trump won where i finished second. today according to this poll i lead donald trump 26-22. i'm the only one who can defeat hillary clinton consistently in 15 national polls and even the electoral college chose the same thing. so, at the end of it all i think when we're at the convention, delegates are going to want to know who can beat hillary because if we don't beat hillary we lose the supreme court, the united states senate, state and local races that's where we're heading. these guys don't have enough time to turn around super high negatives. >> dickerson: making the electability argument in 1964, pennsylvania governor made the same argument against barry goldwater, governor scranton said i'm more electabl

state. the home state favorites, donald trump and hillary clinton back in the win column. moving closer to their party nominations, we want to welcome our viewers. i am cnn's wolf blitzer. the. >> as you know, we have won million more votes than senator cruz. millions more votes than the governor, and close to 300 delegates more than senator cruz. we are really rocking. >> for hillary clinton, she tries to leave a hard charging bernie sanders behind. >> it is humbling that you trust me with the awesome responsibilities that await our next president. and to all of the people who supported senator sanders, i believe there is much more that unites us than divides us. >> while the two front runners celebrate, the rivals spent the day on the road in pennsylvania maryland which hold primaries next tuesday. hundreds of delegates are at stake then. jake? >> checking in with the campaign reporters, some some cases around the country. starting with jim, who is with donald trump, the big winner on the republican side this evening. jim, donald trump, giving a speech this evening that was muc

sanders. in an interview following her loss, hillary clinton gave her rival a taste of new york magic. >> jeff weaver said something very interesting, inflammatory on the air, saying the clinton campaign, secretary clinton, the need to be careful not to destroy the democratic party merely in pursuit of her own ambition to be president. very strong words, your response? hillary clinton: it is just ludicrous on the face of this. i have been campaigning for democrats, fundraising for democrats, recruiting democrats to run and win for a really long time. i think about 40 years. i understand they are getting anxious, i get that. but they need to be thoughtful about what they do say, because at the end of the day we need a democratic president. he has been campaigning now for a year on his core issues of inequality, which i agree with, and i have put forward my own plan. in the interview it seemed unclear as to whether he understood how dodd frank -- i think i was a little bit surprised there did not seem to be a lot of substance to what he was saying. john: she went after him hard, harder

. tonight it's the final face-off for hillary clinton and bernie sanders before tuesday's huge empire state primary, and it will be live here on cnn. it's the first time in decades that a new york presidential primary actually matters for both parties. new york city mayor bill de blasio along with new york governor andrew cuomo will both join me live to talk about what's at stake for their party and for the country. >>> plus, senator ted cruz now accusing the trump campaign of acting like union boss thugs and saying he's lucky he wasn't woken up with a horse's head in his bed as all the candidates prepare to go to the mattresses during republican convention week. >>> hello, everybody. welcome to "the lead." brooklyn is in the house. i'm jake tapper and we are live from the scene of tonight's democratic debate. the navy yard, they just don't call it that for fun, they actually used to build warships here and it's fitting that hillary clinton and bernie sanders are going to r. not only because of the warships, but also because this is the borough, brooklyn, that bread jay z and the notorious

it away. >> happening now, breaking news showdown. hillary clinton versus bernie sanders. tonight's cnn presidential debate is the final face-off before the absolutely crucial new york primary. he has the momentum, she has the math. the stakes are high and the stage is set. >>> fight for new york. he was born here, she was elected here. sanders has proved he can draw big crowds in new york, but clinton leads in the polls. can tonight's debate determine who wins most of the state's 247 delegates? >>> bern moment. since hillary clinton swept the early voting south, bernie sanders claims the election calendar, quote, distorts reality while his wife tells cnn the process isn't democratic at all. is this sanders' last chance to break through hillary clinton's firewall? >>> and no charges. a sigh of relief for donald trump's campaign as his campaign manager won't be prosecuted for grabbing a reporter. while all three republican candidates will appear at a gop gala in manhattan across the river from our democratic debate. i'm wolf blitzer inside the debate hall. you're in "the situation ro

donald trump and hillary clinton have both said they would keep this catastrophic iranian nuclear deal in place. as president, i will rip to sheds this nuclear deal with iran. >> it is 8:00 p.m. on the east coast where polls are now closed in five states and fox news can now project that donald trump will win at least three of them. maryland, pennsylvania, and connecticut in the republican presidential primaries based on fox exit polls. in fact, trump is on track to win north of 50% of the vote in each of those states, something he has only done once before, last week in new york. >> on the democratic side, fox can also project that former secretary of state hillary clinton will beat vermont senator bernie sanders in maryland. mrs. clinton is also leading sanders in pennsylvania. although fox exit polls show it is too early to project a winner in that state or in connecticut. now, there are no exit polls in delaware or rhode island. so, we have to wait until actual vote counts start to come in before the fox news decision desk can project winners in either party in uneither one of

>>> donald trump and hillary clinton scoring big in a very important victory tonight on their mutual home turf. we're talking about new york state as hillary clinton put it, there's no place like home. both the republican and the democratic front runners now poised to claim a big new haul of delegates that would move them even closer to their party's nominations. we're awaiting the final tallies to see exact lly how many delegates they will win. right now a key race alert, let's look a where the votes stand right now. take a look at this on the republican side first, 83% of the vote is in a huge win for donald trump. almost 60% of the vote, john kasich, the ohio governor, distant second place with 256.2%, ted cruz with only 14.9%. you saw the vote tally just change, 83% of the vote is in. trump is ahead by 242,000 votes. on the democratic side, 86% of the vote is in. 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 repub

, secretary clinton's press secretary responded to those remarks on twitter saying, quote, hillary clinton did not say bernie sanders was not qualified, but he has now absurdly said that about her. this is a new low. secretary clinton did respond on her own to senator sanders by staying above the fray. we'll work that technical issue out with you regarding the audio. meanwhile, i'm joined now by our correspondent covering the two campaigns. let's begin with kasie hunt live on the phone, covering the sanders' campaign. she was at the press conference this morning in philadelphia. kasie, as you know, senator sanders is saying basically he was hit first and he was replying very similar to what donald trump said during his back and forth with ted cruz, that he was only counter punching regarding an attack on him. >> hi, tamron. that's right. and senator sanders, it's clear, has taken what hillary clinton has said about him very personally and, you know, she did not say directly he is, quote, not qualified, in her interview with "morning joe" that kicked this off. she also didn't defini

north of here just a few moments ago he declares that he is still in it to win it. hillary clinton, however, setting her sights on trump, responding to what could become his theme of attack in a potential trump/clinton matchup come july. >> if hillary clinton were a man, i don't think she'd get 5% of the vote. the only thing she's got going is the woman's card. >> if fighting for health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in! >> we're covering all of these breaking developments on the 2016 trail and much more this afternoon. we start with katy tur. she's in washington where trump just finished delivering what was billed as a major speech on foreign policy, katy. we heard him talk about a lot of other things as well. has there been reaction yet from the republican establishment on that speech? >> reporter: so far the first reaction that we're getting is lindsey graham, who has been no fan of donald trump, tweeting that he's not sure who was advising trump on foreign policy but i can understand why he's not revealing names. there's also a number of

are going to win. we are going to beat hillary clinton. thank you. >> of course, we look at different things. i don't want to do that. we are leading by so much. i think we are going to hit the numbers pretty easily. probably before we end the process process. it is tremendous. one of the things with pennsylvania, we had a massive victory, 60%, above 60%. pennsylvania has been amazing. we get 17 delegates outright and 54 or so that are up for grabs. the one thing different with pennsylvania. i have been hearing about it. i have heard about it for years, the winner of pennsylvania is a moral obligation. at least on the first round, to support the person that won. now, we didn't only win, we won big. again, we have to get in mind. you have the three people. when you have three people that get 60%, that's almost unheard of. if you have two people and you have 60%, that's a really big victory. here, you have a case where we have a great republican leader and you have a moral obligation in pennsylvania that those people and all i care about is the first round. when you people write about c

>>> all right. that wraps things up for tonight. big wins for donald trump and hillary clinton. and, of course, that's all the time we have left this evening. as always, thank you for being with us. of course, we will be back in studio tomorrow night. but, let not your heart be troubled. the news continues. the truth of the matter is regardless of whether or not she actually came from the state, she represented the state in the senate. this was home for her. so anyone who tries to make the argument this is her home state and it is not as big of a deal. this was substantial. i think she can put a period at the end of this primary and focus her attention on the general election. >> listening to bernie sanders, he seems like he's going nowhere anytime soon. his tone has changed in the days leading up to the new york primary. do you expect that to continue, for him to go after hillary clinton? >> i think you will see senator sanders go after hillary clinton certainly. i think you will see that continue. here's a candidate who's raising $45 million a month. in some respects, there are a

intense pressure to win to keep from falling even further behind. hillary clinton's already sizeable delegate lead stands at 1893 to sanders' 1198. to close that gap, sanders would have to overcome clinton's 13 point advantage in the latest pennsylvania polls. her 25 point polling edge in maryland. a record number of maryland voters have cast a ballot during eight days of early voting which ended on thursday. today, that's exactly where senator sanders is focusing his attention. he will attend a noon event in baltimore, then make a quick trip to delaware before returning back to baltimore this evening for a community conversation on young men of color at a local church. meanwhile, hillary clinton is campaigning further north where she will make a stop in new haven, connecticut before heading to rhode island for a public organizing event just outside of providence. that's where we find nbc's kelly o'donnell with the clinton campaign in central falls, rhode island. it's a pretty small state in terms of delegates so what is happening for hillary clinton there and why do you think she's

saying is he not much different from establishment politicians like hillary clinton. >> it's actually not a question of being more conservative or not. if you are fed up with the corruption of washington. >> yeah. >> donald trump and hillary clinton are flip sides of the same coin. hillary clinton has made millions of dollars selling power and access in washington and donald trump has made billions of dollars buying power and access in washington, buying people like hillary clinton. >> he did it as a businessman. >> but he is part of the corruption. is he part of the corruption. >> all right. >> he has funded open border democrats for 40 years. and the people of new york are hurting. >> with us now in new york andrea tantaros, co-host of outnumbered and democratic strategist jessica tarlov. seems strategy is i don't go to weddings and they're the insiders. they're influence peddlers they buy and sell politicians and i'm this big outsider. do you think that will work for ted cruz in new york. >> i don't think it's going to work. new yorkers are upset at ted cruz for new york values com

. >> there is much more that unites us than divides us. [ applause ] >> hillary clinton looking to heal a fractured party has bernie sanders. the uphill battle gets steeper and army of supporters remains loyal. >> sounds to me like you want more than establishment politics. you want real change. >> now it's time for voters and the attacks on one another and hillary. >> america is choosing. it's super tuesday in the northeast and the primary race is at a critical cross road right now. >>> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer in the cnn election center. tonight, the five presidential candidates competing in five northeastern states like new york a week ago the terrain appears to be favorable for the front runners. counting down to the top of the hour when the polls will close in pennsylvania, maryland, delaware and rhode island and the first chance to project winners. donald trump is aiming for a sweep tonight to add to the widening lead in the fight for delegates. ted cruz and john kasich, they are trying to pick off as many delegates a

goodness. that is not happening. i'm not even answering that question. >> with hillary clinton pretty much locking up the nomination, attention turning to the fbi investigation. we'll have some new analysis tonight. >> what has hillary done for black america? >> oh, gosh. [ laughter ] >> i plead the fifth on that one, okay? >> also ahead, black americans supporting secretary clinton big time but why? watters on the scene. >> do you think she carries around cocktail sauce? >> that doesn't make her black. >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ >>> hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. donald trump and the media that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. from the very beginning, mr. trump's run for the white house has been met with scorn from many in the national press. there are a number of reasons he is obviously a non-liberal candidate. he has mobilized support by mentioning ethnic groups like mexicans and muslims in negative ways, also he has used a variety of personal attacks against his opponents al

on hillary clinton, charging that her vote for the iraq war and that the wall street money her super pac takes make her unqualified to be president. >> she has been saying lately that she thinks that i am, quote/unquote, not qualified to be president. let me just say in response to secretary clinton, i don't believe that she is qualified. >> is sanders making a fair point there or are democrats going to think that he's crossing the line? clinton and sanders could be responding to all of this in just a few minutes. we are keeping close tabs on them, we will bring you everything they say as soon as they say it. also, on our agenda this morning, donald trump back home, back on the attack. the republican front runner in desperate need right now of a big bounce back victory in his home state. he held a ruckus real in new york and turned one of ted cruz's most memorable lines against them. >> i've got this guy standing over there looking at me talking about new york values with scorn on his face, with hatred. >> and rounding out this morning's agenda, it's an x factor that doesn't ex

, on the democratic side, all by rhode island for hillary clinton. and there we go, bernie sanders' long victory of the night. he had gone on to west virginia. we saw live coverage of a rally with him. but a solid night for hillary clinton. as i said, we heard from donald trump earlier this evening and he went on the attack against hillary clinton, but mostly, he took the bait on a question about where he stands right now in the gop. >> i consider myself the presumptive nominee, absolutely. to be honest, senator cruz and governor kasich should really get out of the election. they have no path to the electi election. honestly, they should get out of the race. >> sorry about the quality of the audio there, we're all in the same boat, those of us covering it in that room. he considers himself the nominee. he went into in the late stages, a detailed attack on hillary clinton, if she were a man, this race would be inconceivable. she said her husband had destroyed this country economically. early in the evening after winning four or five, hillary clinton spoke to her supporters. >> the o

credentials beyond her gender. >> frankly, if hillary clinton were a man, i don't think she would get 5% of the vote. the only thing she has going is the woman's card. >> reporter: trump is not the only one with his eye on the general. today ted cruz making the unconventional decision to tap carly fiorina as his vp, if he can win the nomination as a contested convention. >> carly is a vice presidential nominee superbly skilled to unite the party, bring us together so we stand united as one. >> sarah murray joins us. trump finished talking in indiana. what did he have to say. did he talk about fiorina? >> reporter: yes, he did talk about carly fiorina and ted cruz and he was sort of openly mocking the latest move by cruz saying this is the guy who is mathematically eliminated from winning first ballot, he is not going to win, yet announced this vp. trump doesn't seem worried this dual ticket will hamper his chances. he said another interesting thing going through the minds of rivals, if i win in indiana, it is over. that's what we hear from more and more aides to rival campaigns, if dona

hillary clinton could wrap up their party's nominations, but they could sweep all five states that are voting as we speak and that could make life super complicated for their rivals. democratic primaries in connecticut, delaware, maryland, pennsylvania, and rhode island are offering up a total of 384 delegates. republican primaries in those same states offer 172 delegates and if you like suspense, well, then you've got yourself a pennsylvania. that's the state to watch. we're going to have a whole lot more on why that state is so complicated and so critical. hillary clinton is 429 delegates shy of the number that she needs to clinch the nomination. donald trump is still 391 delegates away to head off the prospect of a floor fight in cleveland come july. i want to begin with jim acosta in philadelphia and brian todd in baltimore. take me to the ballot cam. how is voting going? >> reporter: ashleigh, a lot of enthusiasm today here in maryland. it's clearly a big day in the primary season. you've heard all the nicknames for it. super tuesday 4.0. the amtrak primaries. the fun starts h

the race so that donald trump and all of the republican party can start to focus on hillary clinton where our target needs to be now. >> trump has compared himself in some instances to reagan in this campaign. but ronald reagan was a tremendously unifying force in the republican party. and the polls tonight show that the republican party remains sharply divided. what is donald trump going to do to unify this party? >> you know, i think as republicans narrow the field more and more, you're starting to see donald trump win by bigger margins. you know, as the field dwindles, he is bringing those groups together. he is winning across all demographics. there was a poll that came out just in the last day or so that has him in a dead heat with hillary clinton. so, i think that that is already starting to happen, and i think as the field narrows and he becomes the nominee and focuses solely on hillary clinton, you're going to see the republican party come together, but not just the republican party, and i think that's one of the things that people are missing in this race. donald trump has done t

you very much. >> hillary clinton outlined her mission for america during her victory speech. >> their approach is not going to build in america where we increase opportunity for decrease inequality. so we want america to be in the future business. and that is why i want you to imagine a tomorrow where instead of building walls we're making it work. likely that americans will be part of a prosperous, inclusive, decent society. and there you have it. all of us had a chance to be on tv tonight except for you, greg. >> well, i had food poisoning. i spent a lot of time. i just want to thank the makers of immodium for aallowing me to be here. we knew trump was going to do well. and i love his victory speech. it's like a director's commentary of everything that happens. he gives you an update and the tone was interesting. it wasn't like a previous tone but like nelson from the symptoms going see? see? and hillary, i would say finger nails on a chalk board but that is an insult to finger nails. >> and chalk board. >> yes. >> not only did he win the states but he did win every county

as the nominee, if you don't want to see hillary clinton as the next president, then i ask you to join us. >> so he said, let me form a partnership. >> i don't tell voters what to do. it's up to them i would like to see an open conversion. ted cruz would like to see an open convention. >> it's called collusion, lks. >> we will have the future that we deserve, if we work together. i will stand up and fight for you. >> if you come out to vote, drag your friends and your aunts and uncles, coworkers, we're going to win here in pennsylvania. >>> and good morning. i'm carol costello. thank you so much for joining me. five candidates, five states, the road to the white house narrows and makes its way through the northeast today. hundreds of delegates, where primaries are now underway. both hillary clinton and donald trump hoping to sweep these states. even though the delegates williwill be doled out proportionately. fighting for 172. there may be new cracks forming in the shocking stop trump alliance between ted cruz and john kasich. kasich will focus on orgegon, fund-raiser and holding

point during the remarks, he said he will investigate hillary clinton's e-mail practices, dishing out the red meat at this rally. earlier at his event in indianapolis. here is a bit of that. >> one of the reasons that a vote far beyond what polls said, i wasn't surprised. when you look, the vote was incredible. it was record-setting in the case of lying ted. lies, he lies. you know ted, he brings the bible, puts the bible down, lies, bernie is gone. you know that? don't you? i loved running against crooked hillary. better. better. bernie wouldn't be as much fun. so, you heard much of that at the event in maryland. as for why donald trump once they are gone, so go their nicknames. >> you should point out, donald trump's top officials. again, they are saying the system is rigged. and the candidates, they are saying, they they believe the party establishment is scared. the people scare the hell out of him. >> hillary clinton is speaking, we will bring you a live report in a few moments, now, the panel. . >> the super delegates committed to her, switch? >> first off, she has to reach

watching our live special coverage. if you have been listening to hillary clinton and donald trump, it sounds like the primaries are done and the general election fight is now under way. all up and down the east coast, the voters weighed in for donald trump. the republican front-runner racking up a clean sweep tonight winning in pennsylvania, maryland, delaware, connecticut and rhode island. for the democrats hillary clinton had herself a night. she won four states, pennsylvania, maryland, connecticut and delaware. bernie sanders scored his lone win in rhode island. did bernie sanders admit defeat. in a statement he put out a little while ago, the senator is not talking about winning the democratic presidential nomination and beating hillary clinton, sanders said, and i'm quoting him now, this campaign is going to the democratic national convention in philadelphia with as many delegates as possible to fight for a progressive party platform. as sanders said that, hillary clinton's campaign said, it is a shift. she said it is a shift that after clinton took four or five states contested

sanders said hillary clinton is not qualified, that was his phrase, not qualified to be president of the united states and then he went on to list several reasons why he suddenly thinks that hillary clinton is not qualified. we'll have all that for you and i know you think you know the worst about donald trump, you've heard the worst from donald trump, but in a lifetime of saying stupid and ugly things, there is always more to discover about donald trump and so we will begin tonight with a 20-year-old video of donald trump that is the most -- i'm not going to categorize it. i don't want to describe it at all. you have to say it, judge it for yourself. what i think it proves, the reason i'm showing it, is that i think it proves that donald trump always has been and always will be his own worst enemy. >> hillary, get ready. here we come. >> i mean, it's just ludicrous on the face of it. >> donald trump didn't waste in he time sharpening his attack on ted cruz. >> lying ted is stealing the nomination. >> donald can be counted on to take the high road. >> it's lyin'. >> this man is not l

streak alive beating hillary clinton. we didn't hear from hillary clinton. will her campaign change how it takes on bernie sanders. we may find out when she sits down for an interview right here on cnn 11:15 a.m. eastern. both senator cruz and senator sanders had a lot to say about the momentum they received about tonight's big wins. >> god bless the great state of wisconsin. >> with our victory tonight in wisconsin we have now won seven out of eight of the last caucuses and primaries. >> utah, colorado, north dakota, wisconsin, four victories. >> we have an excellent chance to win in oregon and to win in california. >> when colorado and wyoming finish voting, we are likely to have gained over 100 delegates on donald trump. >> please keep this a secret. do not tell secretary clinton. she's getting nervous. i believe we have a chance to win new york and a lot of delegates in that state. >> hillary, get ready. here we come. >> bernie sanders and ted cruz speaking to hillary clinton. dana, you're here with david. there's going to be a democratic caucus in wyoming on saturday. >> he gen
