written statement from bernie sanders' campaign. on the republican side, donald trump swept all five states by very big margins tonight. bernie sanders won rhode island tonight but that was not enough to slow hillary clinton's momentum toward the nomination. and the sanders' campaign issued a written statement that contains no reference to any remaining path to the nomination but does give another reason while bernie sanders intends to stay in the campaign until every state has voted. that statement reads, i congratulate secretary clint on her victories tonight. i am proud proud that we were able to win a resounding victory tonight in rhode island. democrats should recognize that the ticket with the best chance of winning this november must attract support from independents as well as democrats. i am proud of my campaign's record in that regard. the people in every state in this country should have the right to determine who they want as president, and what the agenda of the democratic party should be. that's why we are in this race until the last vote is cast. that is why this campa

[ cheers and applause ] >> nor cruz and governor kasich should really get out of the race. they have no path. honestly, they should get out of the race. >> sorry about the quality of the audio there. we're all in the same boat, all of us covering that event in that room. i consider myself the presumptive nominee was the money portion of that. he went into at the late stages a detailed att

. >>> tonight "on the record" is donald trump launching a new strategy? just hours after a stinging defeat to senator ted cruz in wisconsin, trump is back up on the horse. trump is storming long island for a huge rally in beth page. "on the record" has live team coverage both inside and outside this massive trump event. plus, we have new information developing about the possibility of of a contested convention. we begin with our own griff jenkins live outside be grummond studios, grif? >> that's right. we are here in beth page, new york, where a few hundred protesters have turned out here, heckling some of the supporters coming. there are 10,000 inside the studios. we were able to talk to them earlier and we found out that they are nothing short of furious of what they view as the g.o.p. establishment, the republican establishment denying trump this nomination. take a look.vs >> are you supporting donald trump?

convention more likely for both parties. challenges to the front-runners donald trump and hillary clinton finishing strong in the badger state but senator ted cruz beat donald tru by a wide 8% margin. senator sanders added to the momentum against hillary clinton with s out of the past seven state wins. this is "rk & reward." i'm deirdre bolton. the wisconsin results make it clear that the race will be longer and have more bruises than previously thought. so here's where candidates stand now. donald trump in the lead. he needs 56% of the remaining delegates to clinch the 1237 to assure nomination. senator cruz needs 82% othe remaining delegates. now some say it is unlikely either candidate hits those marks though trump has closest shot. delegate s separation for both parties about even. hillary clinton and senator sanders abouthe same as the gap between donald tru and senator cruz. so the next contest two weeks away in new york. 291 democratic delegates up for grabs. 95 gop delegates in the pire state. donald trump holding a rally in his home state tonight. connell mcshane is on lo

nomination race and all signs point to another victorious evening for donald date -- for donald j trump, billionaire and hillary clinton, not quite billionaire. the question is not whether they how win the contest but they will do so. margin is master. delegates for grabs and a lot of bragging rights. what would make this a great night for donald trump and what would make it a super duper mega monday night for donald trump? mark: 15 contests left and five of them are tonight. the numbers have been crunched and looking at the different scenarios and these states all have different rules. under this scenario, and i have crosschecked his work, his worst surprise, heg some will win all five states. his worst night gets him over the number that the other campaigns have said if he gets that many, he's closer to being in a position to being in a majority. he could be under 100 delegates. you it's on to get 60% of the remaining delegates. that would make it more of an uphill fight. you look at maryland, there are some districts around the washington area where john kasich might pick up some del

vote in. on the republican side, at the closing of the polls, not only did we project donald trump, we projected a substantial victory for him which has come true. john kasich in second, ted cruz in third place. that's been the events of the evening. brian williams, rachel maddow, by the way. and we watched both of the winners tonight. the democrat and the republican speak in terms of you know, we'll go on to win this thing, and to the vanquished, the difference, the sanders campaign in this studio earlier this evening laid out their path to the nomination. >> this was a remarkable thing that happened on this broadcast. you think about what happened tonight in new york. the sanders campaign lapped the clinton campaign in terms of spending. they spent over $5.5 million in new york. for context, nobody on the republican side even spent a half million. they doubled the clinton campaign. sanders campaign is a hard up in this state. it felt like a home state contest for them. they said they would win this and they have lost and lost by a lot. sanders campaign went into new york not only say

the closing of the polls not only did we project donald trump, we projected a substantial victory for him, which has come true. john kasich in second, ted cruz in third place. that's been the events of the evening. we watched both of the winners tonight, the democrat and the republican, speak in terms of we'll go on to win this thing and . the difference is the sanders campaign right here in this studio earlier this evening laid out that path to the nomination. >> it was a remarkable thing that happened here on this broadcast. the sanders campaign lapped the clinton campaign in terms of spending. they spent over $5.5 million in terms of trying to win new york. sanders campaigned his heart out in this state. it felt like a home state contest for him. they said they would win this state. they have lost and lost by a lot. the sanders campaign had gone into new york saying they would win here, they said the previous losses and the reason they were so far behind was because of the conservative deep south and those are the kind of places you should expect bernie sanders to lose, but not

with carly fiorina. is it going to get him anything, though, in do or die indiana? >> donald trump and hillary clinton, they are two sides of the same coin. they're both liberal. we know that. >> fiorina waste nothing time going straight after donald trump yesterday, but donald trump so far not really taking the bait. our own hallie jackson has an interview with ted cruz's new running mate. that's coming up in just a minute. also, on our agenda this morning, cruz may have fiorina with him but trump says he's the one who just landed the biggest endorsement of them all in indiana. >> i think the most important thing in the world is that we vote for the best man there is for this job, and you've already met him. >> the general, robert montgomery knight, a basketball legend in a basketball crazed state. won three national titles at indiana. now he wants to put trump over the top in the hoosier state. and rounding out our agenda this morning -- >> i am very good in arithmetic and i can count delegates and we are behind today. but you know what? unusual things happen in politics. >> the

. judgment day, and the stop trompe fulks -- stop trump thing fulks try one last stop trump folks are trying one last mechanism. trump hang ha has been doubling down on his much is enough. trump insinuated that hillary clinton would not be a viable candidate for president if she were playing the woman card. he pushed that at a rally with the legendary basketball coach, bobby knight. mr. trump: bobby called me up about a year ago, and he said to -- he is theld best, you don't get any better. tough. would you say he was tough enough? not just tough -- not just tough, smart, tactical, he was a winner and still is a winner, believe me. you that iirst tell was very selective with players during the time i was here. i will tell you one thing, that man who was just up here a minute ago, that son of a bitch could play for me. john: that son of a bitch. trump's campaign in indiana also has a tv ad featuring donald trump junior talking about how tough his dad is. testoster-on don, smart, tough, or somewhere in between? mark: somewhere in between. they recognize that they need to soft and him a

and donald trump spent the day duelling for media domination. chris held his own in the news competition cars in indianapolis he short seated the process by naming carly rfiorina as his running mate. >> after a great deal of time and thought. i have come to the conclusion that if i'm nominated to be president of the united states that i will run on a ticket with my vice presidential nominee carly fiorina. >> fiorina also spoke. she took a shot at the republican front-runner, her once and now current rival, donald j. trump billionaire. >> donald trump and hillary clinton are two sides of the same coin. they're both liberal. we know that, but, hillary clinton, like so many politicians, hillary clinton has made her millions selling access and influence from inside the system. donald trump has made his billions buying people like hillary clinton. >> what does donald trump think of this pick. he gave the planet a pre-buttal window into his thinking. the billionaire was making his sleepy voice victory lap phone calls into some morning shows and reacted to the possibility of fiorina

the needle? in must-win indiana for cruz? the cruz announcement comes as donald trump celebrates a huge delegate haul in tuesday's primaries and begins his effort to try to establish his foreign policy credentials cliff political correspondent carl cameron is here. good evening, carl. >> ted cruz is throwing a hail mary, telling republicans if they nominate him who his running mate will be before the primaries are over, that's fairly rare, if it's ever happened. most of time when such a thing happens it's at the contested convention, still two and a half months away. the nomination as it were, his acknowledgement that carly fiorina would be his running mate is meant to one, sort of erase the memory of donald trump's big five-state win last night. which keeps him on a path, as able to be able to win the 1237 delegates necessary for the nomination before the actual convention in cleveland in july. and it gives cruz another potent weapon, carly fiorina, distinguished herself as able to really go after hillary clinton when she was a candidate for the presidency or the republican nomina
