be trump. for a while there was a question if that was going to change and for now it doesn't look like that's the case. >> we have another major projection. a clean sweep for donald trump tonight. donald trump cnn projects is the winner of the delaware republican presidential primary. all five contests donald trump wins. he wins in connecticut, pennsylvania, maryland, rhode island and delaware. a clean sweep winning all of them. a big, bill deg deal for donald trump. pennsylvania, maryland, connecticut, rhode island and delaware. hillary clinton we have projected is the winner in maryland so far. jake and dana, a big win for donald trump. you can't deny that. >> five for five. it was a week weeks ago we noted the 35% ceiling that the republican establishment figures said donald trump had has been broken. it will be interesting to see what his margin of victory is this evening with all five states being called so early. that would suggest possibly more than 50% in many if not all of these state

be trump. if you're in the war room, right now one of the things you need to get your hands around is the republican platform process. because there is doctrine in there that is not part of donald trump's rhetoric. that's sort of been an ignored facet. >> we're joined by steve mcmann from purple strategy. he worked on three democratic presidential campaigns, including a consultant for governor howard dean's 2004 presidential campaign. steve, howard dean's campaign may be a model for what we're seeing tonight. very important written statement by the sanders campaign tonight. in which bernie sanders says, he gives this reason why he's staying in the race. that's why this campaign is going to the democratic national convention in philadelphia with as many delegates as possible. to fight for a progressive party platform. and then, steve, he lists all the items he wants in that platform. and in that written statement, not one word now, not one word about a path to the nomination. >> right. it's inte

a third-party run from trump. >> trump won't do a third-party run. it will be too late. we won't be able to do it and he can't afford it. the problem i think that you're saying that the party has is it either goes down in some sort of figurative flames by denying trump with the nomination even though he has almost enough delegates or it goes down in flames by letting him have the nomination. >> right. look, trump as nominee would get massacred by hillary clinton in the general election and poll after poll shows that he's losing to hillary in arizona by eight points. arizona only two times in the last 100 years has a democrat won arizona. i think it's interesting that we always have to worry about disenfranchising the people that voted for trump. what about the over half of republicans in the party in the conservative base that has said no to donald trump throughout this process. he is not consolidated before last night in any state over 50% and he needs to do that throughout the whole country to get the majority of delegates like every other republic

what is the trump doctrine. what is the trump view. are we going to spend more in the military or are we going to spend less? send troops to iraq and syria to fight isis or let russia do it. what is the trump doctrine if? if he can't answer that question he should not be commander-in-chief. martha: thanks, marc. bill: we can confirm sources inside of the trump campaign saying they have locked up 34 of the 54 unpledged delegates in pennsylvania. this matches some of the reporting we had last night. i have number around 36, north there off. the trump team says 34 of 54 unpledged are in their cat power. so you can add that then to the haul of 105 or 108. either way a remarkable night for the trump team among these five states. really a blowout. martha: a lot said they would go with whoever won. like who we talked to the other night at our town hall i will go whoever wins. that would account for some of that. quick break. we'll be right back. go ahead... leave the competition behind. lexus gs 350 and 200 turbo. there's no going back. >> i'

they just -- trump waltzes back to new york and, let's be for donald trump. i want to say, our kids, the one they win is the one that did not win. so crystal family delivered an entire congressional district. >> you've finally got your revenge. >> to the never trump forces. >> let me ask you, congressman, when you hear bill crystal talking about establishment members jumping on board -- you've been on board -- you're not jumping on board today. but, you know, talking about a pathetic vote in new york, childish behavior by establishment members who want to jump on the winning bandwagon as they perceive it. what do you say to that? >> well, i've been a fan of bill's for quite some time. i agree with him most of the time. but these are the facts. trump is bringing out millions and millions of more people. people who have never voted. people who haven't voted in years. he's bringing out people from independents, of course, republicans and democrat party. and he's speaking to the issues that hard-working taxpayers are thinking. no one, no one in the last 50 years,

this is the quintessence of .etting trump be trump this is the kind of personality he has. he plays to his strength. women might find this appealing. i think they need to use a vodka and others. he he does not back down, says what he believes about hillary clinton. when they try to make him back down, it is not going to work. ,ohn: well, that is great fabulous. i said yesterday on our show that donald trump has a huge problem with women voters. if he doesn't solve that problem, he can't be president. i don't think anything he did in these instances is offensive, but he will have to remediate this problem to some degree. maybe he will do it later or now, but i remember mitt romney in 2012 refused to defend assaults on the obama campaign, and he got eviscerated. i think trump needs to fix this problem. americans loveof hillary clinton. they love her personality, what she stands for, and the possibility of her being president, but there are tens of millions of women who do not feel that way. this a nuanced thing? i think it may be. this is what trump is about and what he is li

he's telling us he's lying to us. >> well, trump, of course, the new trump, was the old trump. take a listen. >> so cruz picks it up, lying ted. he goes donald trump is kidding everybody. he's different on the trail. he said, and he said that he's going to do things differently. and he's not going to build a wall. what the hell does this have to do with the wall? believe me, i'm building the wall. >> all right, michael and katie, michael, is this a new that's what paul manafort promised a more trump with more depth. that didn't -- that sounded like the old trump. >> basically, the outward side of trump is still going to be trump. he's still going to go riff on the party and riff on the politics of the party. but when he needs to be in that zone where he wants to specifically communicate, i think you will see it, and i think we have already seen him at times try to do that, when he uses the notes. >> katie -- he mocked him. listen to what he said about being presidential. watch this. >> presidential is easy. you know what presidential is? i walk on. so you walk on. ladies and ge

still refer to trump as mr. trump. that is a psychological and a cultural and sort of a big picture difference that tells us something about the campaign. and it's interesting. so trump is with mckay getting another one of those, i'm going to use the word wise men of the party. that's very important because trump has really been lagging in that area. so back to the kasich/cruz or cruz/kasich alliance. here's what we know. we know that kasich will not go to indiana. i've got a plane ticket to cancel. he'll be going to oregon thursday. they'll try to get their outside groups and voters to go along with this. they recognize voters may not want to do this if they have a more emotional connection. but they're also hoping the anti-trump forces, never trump, stop trump, whatever configuration will now spend money to assist this new alliance. and some others say the alliance is a last gasp. we'll have to see how it plays out. but i'm going to keep working the phones to try to get you more information. >> kelly o'donnell in war

donald trump wins. i think tonight is a perfect example of that. when hard working americans go out, stand a line and cast a ballot. donald trump wins. when the party establishment gets together in a room and decides who they are going to give their delegates to, he doesn't win. and that's why donald trump has done so well this entire process is because not only republicans but americans are tired of washington insiders controlling the game, controlling the process, and telling them who to vote for and what to do. >> here is what the cruz campaign says. they say, listen, if you can't run the delegate process, and you can't manage this process in the nomination, how are you going to be able to manage the federal government as president? >> well, i think donald trump is managing this process pretty well considering is he up several hundred delegates over ted cruz. he has won more states and he is millions of votes ahead of ted cruz. you know, you hear a lot of talk from mostly the cruz camp that there is

melania trump introducing donald trump, which is rarity on the campaign trail. we should note, that's a distinct out liar. that's an arg poll. it's had a pretty rough cycle. the real clear politics, polling average does so cruz in the lead. joining me now michael steele, former rnc chair. conserative columnist. let me start with you. talk to me about your sense of the effectiveness of the various sort of conservative institutions that have lined up and coalesced around a never trump message here in wisconsin. >> that's been part of the equation. you've had talk radio who, for months and months, have been hammering away at trump. if i may be so humble, i have been as well. we're kind of a different breed here in wisconsin where over the last few years, given scott walker and all the act ten, the union stuff going on, everybody kind of coalesced around what actually conservativism is. not this vulgar of populism or whatever donald trump is selling right now. >> your thoughts. who gets to say what it is. what's interesting is you're seeing national review and a lot

trump. >> i'm so happy. we're about to have a child. i said excuse me. >> the last time donald trump was an unmarried man he discussed his dating life with howard stern. he was dating the woman who would become his third wife and possible first lady of the united states. he told howard how happy he was that in five years of dating she took her birth control pills every day. he said he trusted her completely to do that. as you're about to see, donald trump was reminded that he had made the mistake of trusting a previous girlfriend of taking her birth control pills every day. >> she's on the pill. >> you know you fell for that one time before. >> i did. that happened. i'm so happy, we're about to have a child. i said excuse me, i didn't know about this. at the time i said excuse me, what happened. i said what are we going to do about this. she said are you serious. >> what are we going to do about this. clearly as donald trump saw it there was a choice to be made about that accidental pregnanc

>> oh, i think you will see donald trump be donald trump. i think you will see him tell us all how beautiful it is to win, how beautiful new york is. i think you will see him be critical of the rnc still because it's almost like he can't help himself. if we've learned anything about donald trump in the last ten months, it's that, you know, much like the stages of the moon, the ocean tides, this man is cyclical. every so often he's got to get into a fight with megyn kelly, he's got to get into a fight with his poenlopponents, he's g cause controversy and get into a fight. this time the fight is with the rnc. i completely agree with david. i don't think reince priebus wants to do this, but it's not an impulse. i think reince priebus has no choice. he has got to defend the integrity of the process. what else is he going to do at this point? if donald trump wins, if he wins big, you're going to hear him celebrate. i think it is incumbent upon ted cruz to accept the treaties from john kasich and think about a strategic coordinated approach to new

trump, 5 for 5 tonight. the polls have donald trump can add, next tuesday. trump won the northeast. back to the mid as we are here right now. do you have nonsplech delegates, they will be for donald trump if he adds a the end of the color. this is later in west. trust me, the conversation changed. cruz stand by, donald trump, i triwill the delegates he will need to become the nom dinenomi. show me movies with romance. show me more like this. show me "previously watched." what's recommended for me. x1 makes it easy to find what you love. call or go online and switch to x1. only with xfinity. >>> this was to be -- frankly, this is embarrassing. >> the chosen candidate o

trump sat in a room, conducted these negotiations out of trump tower. and all of these sordid details were aired. and basically, he was acting as ailes' friend. and fast forward two years, all of a sudden he's on the opposite side of ailes and he was involved in the most sensitive, close-knit negotiation. i just find that kind of transactional nature of trump, the way he's able to be your friend one day and deploy that information or potentially deploy that information -- >> he understands that he's benefiting, somehow, maybe in the future in some way. >> look at what he did -- and i've been saying this lots of time. look at what he did with the clintons. he paid them, as he said, to go to his wedding, and then he's on the debate stage and uses that against hillary as a talking point. with trump, you never know if he's doing you a favor, if it's truly going to help you -- >> everything is a chip to be plaid later. gabe sherman, a fascinating story. thanks for the time. >>> all right, he's a brooklyn native, she's a new york transplant. so who gets the h

they dropped an anti-trump banner. one woman with a megaphone shouting trump equals hate. trump addressed the issue when he spoke here at the convention, as you saw, basically poking fun at the situation saying what it was like to get inside must be something like that what an illegal immigrant experiences trying to cross the border. he made the joke twice, made it at the end, and it was made by applause at the end. certainly not by all. a number of people said they felt like we had an opportunity to talk about unity. he did mention unity when he was here and mention it during his speech. but some people felt that it was a missed opportunity. >> all right, jason, thank you very much. and as jason talking about the joke that donald trump made twice about crossing the border i want to go now to amy holmes, and bernie sanders supporter sally cohen, and kayleigh, let me start with you. you heard him say donald trump made that joke twice, so let me just play what he said again, about what he said he quote unquote went through today. >> we went under a fence and through a fence.

trump is beating both of them. 41% trump. cruz 33%. kasich 16% so i guess that's why they decided to come together and try to give that potentially to cruz but steve why not just tell the truth about what they're doing? >> i think probably campaign manager statements for itself. they're working together to make sure that we have the best candidates to beat hillary clinton. this weekend ted cruz swept up all the degats in maine coming after utah, colorado, wisconsin, north carolina and georgia and oklahoma. picking up delegates across the country because the grass roots are behind ted cruz but ted cruz is the same man. >> nothing to lose for cruz and kasich to come up with this plan but why won't they say what they're doing. >> if you want to talk about lying to voters you you have to look at two men that coordinated this. they issued nearly simultaneous press releases and now to come out today and say it's not collusion is absurd. if anything would tell the american public you can't compete on a national level it's by saying you can't

trump again. this is a stump speech one he has been railing against bad trade agreements and the like. if he addresses more to the crowd than the protest here's we'll take you back to that as well. and as well as reaction from a number of other todayses, john kashich campaigning, but not in california, and ted cruz, who had been in indianapolis, trying to shore up support for the 57 delegates up for grabs there but herman cane is joining us right now in stockbridge, georgia, herman, it's a right of american passage to protest these events. the fact that donald trump gets more than his fair share we should also point out, herman, that he also gets more than his fair share of attendees at events. they dwarf all other candidates, almost combined. but it's almost by design. >> it is by design. people have freedom of speech but they don't have freedom of violence, and they have thrown everything at donald trump except the kitchen sink. this is the kitchen sink,, in te form of violence don't believe thi

. >> trump! trump! trump! trump! >> thank you so much. lou: we'e're told 18,000 ticket had been requested f for this event that you're watching live from bethpage, new york. here we go. >> thank you very much. thank you very much. thank you very much. first of all, it's great to be home. this is home. it's great to be home.. [cheers and appplause] >> we love new yorrk. we love new york and we are all together going to make america great again, folks. [cheers and applause] >>> so i was driving over from manhattan, , and d i passed que. i love queens. do we have a lot of queens? i grew upp i in queens, i grew inin queens, and i us to play -- i usesed to get here at like 2:00 in the mororning to play a round of golf at bethpage. you all know what i mean, right? but i i love this city and i loe this country, and we a are goin to sttart winning again with our couuntry because we don't win, we never win, we never, ever win anymore, w we don't win wit our military, we don't win on trade. we don't w win on heath carere. we d't win on anythng, we

trump. it is disquieting and it -- he may or may not have the wisconsin primary. but this is the first time it seems like trump is being battered right now. a little bit on the ropes. mark: a dirty little secret even in presidential and vice, great to have the press on your side. he has gotten good coverage, but these stories are turning them against him. as long as he is winning, politically he is ok in the short-term, but if you start to suffer losses, these loyalties will compound. other people are clearly troubled by this. we will see how wisconsin voters feel about that. ahead of tuesday's wisconsin primary. there is a new state poll of wisconsin voters. democrats and republicans say ted cruz on republican side is beating donald trump amongst gop voters in the badger state 30%-40%. john kasich is in third, 21%. the poll found that 81% approve of the job governor scott walker is doing. that poll was taken before walker supported ted cruz. the same number of walker fans support trump and

trump and mr. ted cruz. >> thanks so much for doing this, the philadelphia pretzel factory. >> thank you. >> you made our picture? >> yeah. we made a picture of you guys. sorry if i didn't do you justice here. >> no, looks just like us. here i am as you can see right here. >> thank you for being with us. >> thank you. bill: good morning. it's. >> the super tuesday. voters in the east getting their say. a big packed show today. i'm bill hemmer. welcome to america's newsroom. martha: we have 502 delegate up for grabs. maryland offers the biggest grab here. only 17 in pennsylvania, but they have that wacky 34 delegate thing that doesn't count today but will count as they get bound going into the convention. >> they ought to both drop out of the race. we ought to unify the republican party. a great poll just came out. you say the on the top of drunk. it has me even with hillary clinton. i haven't even started with crooked hillary. >> from only two people who have any plausible path to winning the nomin

is trump right? did ted cruz go beyond the acceptable, if you will, to get all those delegates in colorado? >> first a disclaimer. i'm not a surrogate for anybody but having said that, for whatever reason, there seems to be this myth out there in the american public that somehow the nominating process belongs to the government or belongs to people. this is a republican process. we're not in the process of electing a president. we're in the process of selecting a candidate to represent the party in the election that will be held in november. in november is when you have a government-sponsored election to elect the president of the united states. until then, it is governed by a private entity that is protected by the first amendment, freedom of association. they can write whatever -- >> are you okay with a bunch of republican elites if you will, establishment basically coming up with a decision to go ahead and allocate these delegates for the convention? >> what's i'm okay with is that every state, ind

trump is the first one to say there are two donald trumps. there's the trump let trump be crowd. let's reign him in and be more presidential. he was fired up in the wake of this deal. he goes back to the form that got him here, right. that's what people pay to see or not pay to see they go to these events. they are drawn to the message. >> why are you voting for trump. because he's going to make america great again. >> that's what the hat says. >> his branding is resonating with them. they don't say what that is. what's he going to do to make us great? >> well, i think that allows people to pour whatever they think that is in donald trump's candidacy. there's not a lot of policy meat here on the bones for donald trump but there's hope from people who are frustrated. >> that's the same thing from senator ted cruz. he says he's for the constitution. what does that mean? i can't really blame the candidates, they are down to slogans. they have slogans and don't communicate much. >> there's an old saying you campaign in poetry and govern in prose. this is not a poetic year. the slogan

do you think trump's weak? and i'm hesitant to call it a shaky weak because he's had what we thought he's had shaky weeks only to go up in the polls but do you think this shaky week will have a possible impact on tuesday in the wisconsin primary? >> it could because as you mentioned donald trump is lacking behind ted cruz. he already was before any of this happened in some polls by double digits. i was actually in wisconsin earlier this week. based on just anecdotal conversations i was having with voters, especially women, it's going to be hard for trump to come back there. but today he started. when all else fails for donald trump, he tries to change the subject, like he did today. >> ted cruz, i did not like him at all. >> reporter: slamming ted cruz in a new instagram video after one of the billionaire front-runner's worst weeks since the campaign began, causing a bipartisan firestorm with these comments. when asked if women should be punished for having an abortion if it became illegal. >> the answer is tha

peter alexander covering the trump campaign for us. he joins us from acrosse, wisconsin, where the front-runner will hold that rally. let's talk a little bit about donald trump's call for john kasich to drop out of the race. obviously, governor kasich dismissing that. what's the plan here? >> well, we have heard this multiple times from donnld trump as we wait to hear her onstage. he says it again last evening, saying it's a disgrace, to use this language, that john kasich is staying in the race at this point because mathematically, he can't get the 1237, the majority of delegates needed to win the nomination before the cleveland convention. trump acknowledging that those votes are coming from him, not from ted cruz. that's the strategy behind this for him. john kasich's team insisting 31 that this is just politics, saying if you want to talk that way, why doesn't donald trump get out of the race goong forward? at this point, neither candidate has any intention of doing so. >> and peter, obviously, also looking at what a bad week by pu

we have seen the picture of donald trump's trump plane on the tarmac. that's officially there just down the road and not far away the hyatt regency where you are seeing crowds. we have been watching this picture over the course of the last hour or so. more and more people gathering. again. watching and waiting to see even how donald trump with his secret service and certainly law enforcement, his motorcade, will be approaching this location. we have seen some of the protesters holding hands and sitting in the middle of the streets. certainly there are multiple ways to get inside of this building. and police will help donald trump do so. these people exercising their first amendment rights to protest. and donald trump, obviously, has every right and intention to speak in front of this crowd inside this hotel here in burlingame, california. let me just be totally transparent with you. we're trying to get voices. jeremy diamond is a correspondent covering for months and months these different donald trump rallies. he was there last night as things got very

is that the real trump or who is the real trump? >> i think they're both the real trump. again we've seen mr. trump give speeches and moderate his tone. when attacked he will defend himself. he will continue to be mr. trump and defend himself if necessary. during the general election it will be different. you're not fending off 16 different people and every media outlet in the country. he will draw distinction between him and hillary clinton. that will be different. melissa: do you know what the name for hillary clinton is? did he tell you? >> no. melissa: he didn't tell you? i would think you have to sign off on that? >> no, we'll have to wait for that. melissa: it will be a surprise for you too? >> that's right. melissa: wow. we're all waiting. thank you so much. >> great to be here. connell: there is a lot to follow-up. war of words, slamming nominating system. it is all rigged. op-ed in the journal. sean spicer from the republican national committee responded with a memo people are talking about, about delegate rules. here to weigh in on all these things, republican s

"dump trump." "california won't be trumped". "mr. haith, leave our state." the thrust of the protest ick taking aim at trump's immigration policy. this morning i did see a woman with a t-shirt that said latinos for the wall. so there were a couple of trump supporters out here but they're vastly outnumbered, and we haven't seen too many of them lately. they may have felt threatened or intimidated and left. but you can see a number of protesters are also banging on drums and using their bull horns, as we see the protests start to move back toward us, they've been blocking the street in front of the hotel, kind of going back and forth. on the two sides of the protests, number of protesters sat down in the street and have linked arms. now a group is marching back this way, and i'm not seeing a whole lot of effort to replace the barricades by the grass here. just the driveway, which is interesting to note. here come the marchers. the anti-trump protesters. it's a lively scene out here. i should probably go and see what is happening at the from of the hotel by the

he decided to be nice to trump, -- night things to trump nice things to trump. it seems like so long ago. now he is going head-to-head with him. there is a credibility problem. all of a sudden, you have a problem with the guy when six months ago, you were like, donald trump is a fine character and a good man and i have no qualms. wait a minute question mark now you do? what changed? donald trump, this is for his voters that are important, the same guy today as he was when he announced. all the crazy that has happened in between, they are like, ok, we got it, we understand it. i like someone, now i hate them. he is just like, he said straight up if you attack me, i'm coming after you and otherwise, you are good. those who tried to play cute with him have been bitten by the process. kasich did not have an approach because for three quarters of the contest, john kasich was relegated off-camera, an unfortunate result of the process. i had a real problem with the way the debate stage was set at the very beginning, which relegated very good and credible candidate to o

trump could close that gap. we'll have to wait and see if the campaign progresses and whether he gets closers or changing his tone or focus. >> ed, thank you. >> poll questions, we are asking, pence ea's endorsement, will it stop donald trump. 98% of you says no. you can catch your votes at msnbc.com. >>> two teenagers missing on a boating trip last year in florida. both were just 14 years old headed out. their boat found off bermuda last month. it has quickly became the center vision, kerry sanders has the latest. why is this phone so important? >> reporter: the question is, what maybe on that phone. information that could answer questions for perry cohen's family. the phone was owned by austin's family. when the phone was returned to them and here we have a picture of the phone remarkably it was found on the boat. think about this, nine months out at sea and it was in the consul, there is that phone. the question is what sort of information might be on that phone that could answer the desperate questions that

trump was one of them. the vast majority, over 90% of the donors give us $50 or less, so i'm glad people like him give to what we were doing. i am a midwestern guy. we have warm summer stations with a lot of people. mark: is what you thought of him then different from what you think about him now, and if so, what changed? scott walker: i did not endorse him for anything. i thanked him for support like i think other people for support. i don't know a thing changed. the fact of the matter is, i looked at each of the candidates, the three remaining up there, and said there is to that have a shot up to the 1237 delegates. ♪ mark: thank you for joining us. scott walker: good to be here. mark: you are a candidate and now you are hosting primaries. we want to talk about that, but let us start with when you got out of the race. you said clearly you thought other folks should get out, the person you deem to the front runner, and listen. scott walker: i thought the plurality on the majority dispersed among many. i

donald trump and megyn kelly. this has been a fascinating story line in this campaign, dating back to that first republican debate. a lot of people say, donald trump will eventually have to make peace with her and fox news. might we be seeing a step in that direction now? >> that might be one of those steps donald trump is trying to take as he tries to get down the final steps toward the republican nomination. he d two things today. he met with megyn kelly. also hired rick wiley. rick wiley is not exactly the household name that megyn kelly, but he's a very established republican operative with deep roots. worked with reince priebus for the senate campaign committee, for the rnc in previous presidential campaigns, including in scott walker's campaign. and i think you put those two things together and you see donald trump right to take care of the things that are creating problems for him, as he tries to get over the finish line, before the convention. >> eliana, this battle between trump and megyn kelly, this broa

i don't think it's so much as the anti-trump movement has done this, i think donald trump has capped himself in an ability to win a general election, it's made it very difficult and the ability to expand his support but his supporters are still really strong. >> he has a concrete floor and maybe a concrete ceiling as well or at least that's the question. stand by. we're going to come back to you guys in a little bit, but we are going to turn to the candidate who is banking his hopes on a contested convention and i spoke to john kasich from wisconsin saturday afternoon, and we began with the topic donald trump front and center this week, abortion. >> george, i hope they do repeal roe v. wade and then it will be up to the states to decide how they want to proceed. it'll be up to them to figure out what they want to do and that's precisely what we would do. >> but you said there are legitimate and constitutional restrictions that could be put on abortion. what are they? >> well, george, you know, when you say constitutional restrictions or whatever -- >> those are your words. >> the onl

trump. you can see that he sort of recoils and that's when mr. lewandowski grabs her arm. >> the prosecutor's saying she defied secret service order and entered a bubble that the secret service formed around the candidate as he walked up an aisle and presented, in essence, a threat towards the candidate and that's why the campaign manager, corey lewandowski, who was in a good position to see this, grabbed her and pulled her back. they did acknowledge that lewandowski's story and donald trump's story did change throughout the process saying that donald trump and corey lewandowski initially said there was no contact between lewandowski and michelle fields, there in fact was. the office did in fact acknowledge that. but 0 to give you a perspective of what it's like at a donald trump event like this, a private event, where it's just reporters and supporters in a room like that, it is often the case that reporters go up to the candidate themselves with secret service surrounding them, so it certa

does that change the pressure around trump or never trump? >> pressure is very interesting. delegate counting is what gets you there. ted cruz is showing up delegates who in the second round will not vote for donald trump place after place. north carolina, south carolina, indiana is already a disaster for donald trump. donald trump might win that. that's hard work that you actually have to do. cruz is doing it and trump is not. >> robert, my question to you is does the momentum or the perceived power, perceived legitimacy, the margins, do they matter in that process or does it come down to whose in the room? >> i think it's a little bit of both. when you look at april, it's favorable trump is going to pick up some momentum and delegates are going to be paying attention and matt's right as well. when you rook into early may, trump, cruz is poised to can well in indiana and then you have in june, california. that's going to be a major test. cruz's organization and trump as well. when you look at the summer, the pressure as you're talking about matters to delegates but organiza

in 1983, trump opened the flag shipbuilding trump tower. he published the best seller, the art of the deal. trump was a national figure and you never knew where he would show up next. >> excuse me, where is the lobby? >> down the hall to the left. >> reporter: way back then there was political promise seen with the billionaire. >> i started the draft trump campaign. >> reporter: in the yokin's restaurant, as people waved trump for president signs. donald trump spoke without notes and hit on the same economic ideas that made him a front runner. >> the message in 1987 didn't change but the players. it was saudi arabia and japan back then and side china and mexico. y the people who are hurting is people like me. we work for a living and we are feeling. it and so trump appeals to us. >> reporter: after the speech they left and moved trump to a nor by press conference. >> i had to get him to a side door which was a good distance and as we moved along. he kept stopping and shaking hands with the wait staff and cops and firemen. he ignored the sui

i think a trump nomination -- i am a never-trump guy. >> okay. >> i think a trump nomination would be disastrous. with that being said, you can't disenfranchise people. if trump wins the 1237 or wins the first, second, third ballot, it must go to him. and it can't go to dirty politics. you can't continue to disenfranchise people. i will never vote for donald trump, but if he's the guy that is picked with fair play, that's fine. but you have reince priebus saying it will be somebody who is running right now. okay. let's take the gop chair at his word. it's got to be somebody who's running. >> does that mean you'll support a third party bid? and will you actively try to get others to support a third party bid if trump's the nominee? >> i just don't think this is going to happen. i haven't decided on what i would do. i know i will not vote for trump. and i would probably go and just look for the strongest people in the house and the senate that would keep hillary clinton at bay. because trump is not going to win the general. if you look at the polls, todd, you know this, no matter what t

anti-trump forces spent $2 million there in advertising to deny trump a win. but while trump's loss in wisconsin could serve as a speed bump, his home state of new york votes next, and current polling shows the frontrunner topping 50%. while a contested republican convention looks more likely, trump's team says they are prepared. >> the gop, the establishment leaders have already said they don't want trump or cruz, but it seems that senator cruz is the only pathway to try to force this convention they want to put their own person in. but we're going to be prepared for that as well. we have millions more voters than the rest of the candidates. we'll be going to the convention with the most delegates and we'll be ready for that fight. >> ed gillis is a researcher for the anti-trump pac and is with me now. good to see you. >> good to be here. >> as we look at new york and the state voting next, what is your strategy in new york? >> i think our strategy overall is not going to be state-by-state, but it's going to be a strategy of actually going after the delegates

trump, cruz or paul ryan? >> i think it's trump. i think he's the walking dead and he'll get the nomination and go down to a crushing defeat and will be known for a hundred years from now people will say who's the biggest loser in american politics and it won't be mcgovern, it will be the word trump. i hope he's in haiti he's aware of all that. >> very subtle. >> very subtle. why do i have a feeling mr. brooks is going to hear from mr. trump some time on social media today? with that we'll take a pause. when we come back, down ballot blues, we'll stick with wisconsin as a theme. what does donald trump at the top of the ticket mean for thousands of people came out today to run the race for retirement. so we asked them... are you completely prepared for retirement? okay, mostly prepared? could you save 1% more of your income? it doesn't sound like much, but saving an additional 1% now, could make a big difference over time. i'm going to be even better about saving. you can do it, it helps in the long run. prudential bring your challen

the two trump opponents striking a deal to derail trump. their goal to deny trump the gop nomination but trump is not taking this lying down and immediately aimed fresh attacks between eyes of his two opponents. >> they announced they are pulling out, leaving this as a direct one on one choice for the people of indiana between our campaign and donald trump. >> it takes two guys long time politicians to try to get-together to try and beat trump and yet they are way behind. >> i don't see this as a big deal.

trump has a good point. he has brought a lot of people out that hasn't participated before enthusiastic about his campaign. he, of course, wants their votes to be counted. >> we're less than two hours away from the polls closing here in new york state. you are now a new yorker. i want to at least focus ahead the next big state will be california or next big state you are from california. how important will that one be? >> california is a big one. i think ultimately it is going to be the state that determines who the nominee is and whether or not donald trump is able to get it. if he does extremely well in california, then he is going to be in a good advantage. cruz is working very hard there, so he is going to have to have the right team in place. you have seen him make some changes within his campaign structure to be able to move towards that end. california is tough. i campaigned there myself. as former first lady of san francisco. you have really got to get out there. there was strategy about it that i wa

>> trump trump trump! >> you proved there's no place like home. >> i can think of nowhere that i would rather have this victory. >> the race for the democratic nomination is in the homestretch and victory is in sight. >> senator cruz is just about mathematically eliminated. >> so let's go out and win this election! >> thank you, everybody. and thank you, new york. we love new york. ♪ >> wow. did not even -- i didn't know there was a song called "52nd street." >> it was filmed a few blocks away. >> i thought i knew every billy joel song. >> we took the show outside, it seemed like a good idea outside. >> it was warmer. this state voted yesterday, nice to be out on the streets. your dreams come true. >> and the sun has been spotted. it's helping to light up the entire set. >> and warm up the entire set. >> why was that man -- first off, donald trump so happy? look at this, he walk waded awa with 60% of the vote. and john kasich with 25% of the vote. and in each one of the congressional districts except for

many things in donald trump. number one, they appreciate his honesty and integrity and appreciate his sense of rumor. every time he says something funny annie trump try to turn it into a frenzy and it simply has not been working. >> there has been controversy. herman, seriously when kasich ate that pizza with a knife and fork that's when you went chief trump. >> no. no comment. i don't care whether you -- i don't care whether you eat pizza with a fork or eat it new york style and you told it and take a bite. it does not matter if it's good pizza. >> amen. good to see you guys. both of you. thank you. >> thank you. >> so big news today as donald trump has agreed to sit down with yours truly for an interview. and my upcoming fox broadcast network special. this is big news. this following our heart-to-heart earlier this month at trump tower which he agrees to at my request. the g.o.p. presidential frontrunner will be a guest on megyn kelly presents or it might be megyn kelly presents. we will see. may 17th, a tuesda

it's risky especially if donald trump has a big day. bill: trump is at 845. tomorrow night is rhode island. you can watch the numbers change. it's connecticut, delaware, maryland and pennsylvania. we think he will do well. then we go to indiana. this was late friday when our fox polling comes out. we did a flip and indiana. west virginia favors trump. not as much as we not before. then we are out in oregon. this comes back to the plan that's announced last night. we think it faves trump, now we are in the month of june. watch these numbers, montana for cruz, nuk mexico. california then of 172 delegates, we think trump gets 103 of the 172 on the same day as new jersey. now he's at 1,202. 1,237 is the magic number. he would only be 35 away from that number. >> if all that came true, donald trump enters the convention 35 votes short. there are a couple hundred unbound delegates who can vote for anybody on the first ballot. and you will see trump work on those delegates and you will also see a very spirited debate in the republican national convention among the d

let's start with donald trump. the republican establishment here from the governor on down has lined up against trump. here in wisconsin. but here's the big but. the most recent poll out today from emerson college shows ted cruz ahead of trump by just five points. that's half the lead that cruz had in last week's polls. so trump may be regaining strength here in wisconsin. at a rally today, trump predicted a win here tomorrow. >> i really believe tomorrow we're going to have a very, very big victory. if we do well here, folks, it's over. if we don't win here, it's not over. but wouldn't you like to take the credit in wisconsin for ending it? give wisconsin the credit for ending it. and then we can focus on hillary instead of these two guys. >> well, trump mocked his rival ted cruz. here he is. >> we've gone through many, many states. i have won, i think, 22 states. cruz gets up, he says i'm the only one. you know, i wish he could just talk normally every once in a while. you ever hear this? i'm the only one. that h

many people i know claim they'll never vote for trump. trump may win some of the people back. you can't wait around for the people to come to him. he's got to go get them. and most are conservatives. he has to appeal to conservatives and maybe it will start with national security speech this coming week. tom: see how good of a salesman he is. go to the democratic side. the question is for bernie sanders, is in trouble, and bernie sanders seems like he's more than a candidate. he's almost like he's got this group of people that are passionate about this movement. where will they go? what will they do if he's not the nominee? will they go for another outsider like a donald trump? >> i don't really think so. i think the democratic party is going to be unified. they'll fall in behind hillary, and i think the hillary people would find in behind bernie sanders as well. when you see the debates between sanders and clinton, they're not that far apart, and so it's a lot easier for the democrats to unite than it's going to be for the republicans. tom: all right, i look at standard folks

trump! trump! trump! >> no matter who you are, a man or a woman, he treats everyone equal. he's a fighter. and if you elect him to be your president, he will fight for you and for our country. he will work for you and with you. and together, we will make america strong and great again. thank you. >> melania trump stumping for her husband who could be facing a crucial test tomorrow. for ted cruz, this could be the moment his ground game and stop trump forces add up to victory in wisconsin aided by local conservative talk radio and wisconsin news voters who might griftle at trump's brashness. either way it will end up -- add up to votes and delegates and possibly a turning point in the race. laying it out by the numbers, "inside politics" anchor john king. trump and his critics seem to be in agreement tonight. tomorrow's wisconsin primary is critical. maybe even a turning point. >> maybe the moment of trump for stop trump movement or trump himself. let's look back a bit. the math. if you go back to march 1st, at that point donald trump was starting to open up his lead. needed

trump, cruz or paul ryan? >> i think it's trump. i think he's the walking dead and he'll get the nomination and go down to a crushing defeat and will be known for a hundred years from now people will say who's the biggest loser in american politics and it won't be mcgovern, it will be the word trump. i hope he's in haiti he's aware of all that. >> very subtle. >> very subtle. brooks is going to hear from mr. trump some time on social media today? with that we'll take a pause. when we come back, down ballot blues, we'll stick with wisconsin as a theme. what does donald tru when they thought they should westart saving for retirement.le then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential. bring your challenges. you may know what it's like to deal with high

donald trump wants a surprise. but you're also getting a sense how the trump campaign is trying to change the narrative, perhaps put wisconsin and this bad week behind them. he will deliver some policy speeches in coming weeks. now we should point out, you know, donald trump did roll out one of those policies earlier today. and that is how to pay for that wall on the mexican border, and making the mexican government pay for it. a come there behind victory as donald trump would like to see it, that would have a major dramatic impact on this race. it would bolster his calls on john kasich to get out, as you just mentioned, but trump's advisers are shying away from handicapping the contest here in wisconsin. and trump was being cautious about his pspects earlier today, even though he was talking about a surprise. had ewasn't predicting victory. but it is clear who trump will blame if he loses here in wisconsin. that is john kasich. trump said kasich is simply staying in this race to play the role as spoiler. as for te

trump got a gun when government couldn't. still trump for president? that's our show tonight. >> and now jon stossel. stossel: this presidential race, one candidate has been a showstopper. he has won people over by promising wonderful things. >> i will be the greatest jobs president that god ever created. [applause] we are going to have win after win after win. you people are going to get sick and tired of winning. >> i can't wait, i want to win. maybe trump will make us all winners, but i doubt it read it's possible but i doubt it. you have to admire the art of the author of the art art of the deal. he just loves soft racism when told he pours -- polls poorly with women he says i just love women. >> i will be the best thing that ever happened to them. 100%. stossel: he was told he wasn't acting presidential jumps at this. heck i'd i can be more presidential in anybody. other presidents than that great a blanket he was very presidential. stossel: apparently people love. things like that. growing up my mom told me don't brag and then exaggerate, people
