. maybe he will get back in. >> ted, are you leaving the door open to -- if nebraska were to somehow -- >> it's not going to happen. >> miraculously choose you tonight. >> pat's going for the hail mary. >> if that happened, would you consider getting back in the race? >> well, i am not holding my breath. my assumption is that will not happen. but listen, let's be very clear. if there is a path to victory, we launched this campaign intending to win. the reason we suspended the race last week, it was indiana's loss. i didn't see a viable path to victory. if that changes, we will respond accordingly. >> i don't know about you, nebraska, but i take that as a yes. >> i take that as a big yes. >> get to the polls and vote for ted cruz. >> you guys, you guys, ted cruz might unsuspend. he might get back in the race. no. he's definitely not. polls all closed across the great state of nebraska. the winner-take-all nebraska republican primary, no surprise, is donald trump, the last remaining republican candidate in the republican primary. nebraska has 36 delegates on the republican side. this i

, the republicans gonna get their turn out in nebraska. on the republican side, the west virginia race looks pretty straightforward today. even before ted cruz and john kasich dropped out last week, donald trump was expected to win west virginia in a landslide. but that nebraska contest could be very interesting tonight. before cruz got out, he was generally considered the favorite to beat trump in nebraska and even though he suspended his campaign, his name is still on the ballot today. so republicans there are free to vote for cruz if they want to. and that's something to keep an eye on tonight. how many republicans in nebraska still don't vote for trump even with no official opponents left in the race. and what if cruz actually were to win nebraska with his name still on the ballot there? he hinted today that if that were to happen, he might look at getting back in the race. >> ted, are you leaving the door open to, if nebraska were to somehow -- >> it's not going to happen. >> -- miraculously choose you tonight -- >> pat's going for the hail mary. >> i mean, if that happened, would

city and this is "the five." >>> west virginia and nebraska are putting their mark on the 2016 presidential race, polls close in two and a half hours in west virginia where hillary clinton could lose tosanders. voters there are not happy with her plan to put coal companies out of business and coal miners out of work. but in nebraska where polls close in four hours, ted cruz thinks there's a chance he could do well and he's floating the possibility of restarting his presidential campaign if he does. more on that later this hour. but first, the general election is less than six months away and brand new polls out that show trump and clinton in a dead-heat in three must-win states, florida, ohio and pennsylvania. in florida it's clinton 43, trump 42, in ohio, trump is beating her 43-39. and in pennsylvania, again, clinton only ahead by one point, 43-42. let's bring in special report host bret baier. we saw these three very important swing states, must-win states, florida, ohio, and pennsylvania. and ppp came out with a poll that had within the margin of error statistical tie, nati

stage for donald trump going to capitol hill. in nebraska do you feel betrayed by politicians, 64% say yes and 30% say no. west virginia, 50% say yes they feel betrayed by republican politicians. 47% say no. so we see majorities in both states there. now how about their feelings about the federal government. back to nebraska, 53% dissatisfied, 40% angry at the federal government. 93% dissatisfied or angry, west virginia you see a little less hostile environment, but still 92%, 50% angry and 42% dissatisfied are their feelings towards the federal government. donald trump walks to washington with this army of voters behind him as he begins his quest to bring the establishment on board with the trump candidacy. >> interesting. a lot of federal money goes to west virginia and yet only 2% of the republican voters who turned out this evening are enthus arrestic about the federal government. >> that's a great point. the days of the long time senator who brought back a lot of money is obviously long gone. >> it's still flowing. >> on those numbers i've been thinking a lot about it and wat

and nebraska bring trump closer than ever to clinching the republican nomination. but for sanders, you could say the win in west virginia is cold comfort. >> pretty much. sanders won decisively over hillary clinton in the mountain state, but democrats award their delegates proportionally so sanders adds to his total, but clinton will also pick up delegates. despite the win, it's still all but impossible for staanders to win his party's nomination outright. >> still sanders is pressing forward optimistically. >> early sanders laid out his strategy while also taking strong shots at donald trump. take a listen. >> let me be as clear as i can be. we are in this campaign to win the democratic nomination.
