bernie sanders will cut into this. they are saying even in the coming days and the next couple weeks, maybe he cuts into her lead but then they expect, this is their expectation, she will still be at 200-plus delegates. the point they will make ever since she got past this line, this is more than barack obama ever led her in 2008. i think we'll hear a lot of that. >> also more than barack obama, bernie sanders is overperforming barack obama in the states right now. if these numbers hold for him, he will have performed better than barack obama. these were barack obama stronghold states in 2008. so he will be able to top that. i'll tell you one thing looking at my inbox, jake. bernie sanders campaign will not be the only ones fundraising. shortly after the projection for alaska, i got a fundraising appeal from the clinton campaign, quick update on bernie sanders. we think he's going to do very well today in the washington, alaska and hawaii caucus. please chip in. though he will be able to raise money off of this, they a

we just heard from bernie sanders. whatever the final number is, this is still considered a big win for him tonight. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. i mean, the sanders campaign feels like this gives them a lot of momentum going into these series of contests coming up here in a week, wolf. he's really looking toward ohio, even before seeing his showing tonight, his campaign felt that his message attacking hillary clinton for her past support of some -- even before seeing how it played here in michigan. that's certainly we should watch going into the next week here. i want to talk about some of the polling. the sanders campaign on friday did their final internal polling. they found that hillary clinton was up by what i was told by one aide was high single digits. that was on friday. they didn't bother polling over the weekend because they found it really difficult to get ahold of young people, which are so key to his sort of black -- his numbers did not reflect his support of minority voters. >> ohio, one of the big co

so she really needs bernie sanders backing. she needs for bernie voters to feel bern for hillary. he may be in it to win it but most of us know that math isn't on his side. >> were there conditions? >> yes. there were conditions. i had a huge problem with the statement and the sentiment behind it. if hillary clinton but conditions on barack obama it would have been scorched earth. more importantly, bernie sanders has gone from a message candidate when he got started and he announced he was going to run for the presidency, to a formidable candidate to now figure out where he goes from here. i want to make sure that bernie sanders doesn't turn into ralph nader. >> hold on. bill. hold that thought. we'll get back to it. to jake. >> that's right. we have a key race alert. we have some of the vote coming in from alaska where there are 16 delegates, 15% of the delegates right now with 15% in, 81.6% for bernie sanders, hillary clinton is 18.4%. kate, back to you. >> we're watching that, that's a huge margin. huge. >> let me say -- >> let me go out on a limb. that's huge. >> i don't want

bernie sanders. this is a place where his message plays very well. keep in mind this is the home of the minimum wage debate, this is the home of marijuana legalization, so this is a place where his message plays very well. now, here at the caucus, really a three sort of phased caucus. you come in, there's an initial vote. then folks have three minutes to talk where they try to sway the undecided votes into their camp or to try to switch people from hillary clinton to bernie sanders and vice versa. and then there's that final vote. and those are the results that we're waiting for now. i have to tell you a pretty informed group of people, it takes some courage certainly to stand up in front of your friends and neighbors and that's exactly what you do here at the caucus. you're talking to people in your neighborhood trying to persuade them one candidate or the other. so we saw a lot of informed debate happening in the caucus. ari. >> and briefly, cal, one of the things we saw last night was 15,000 peopl

a surprise upset for bernie sanders. millions across the country cast their ballot on super tuesday. we're breaking down the big winners and losers. welcome back, i'm christine romans. >> i'm john bermen. 31 minutes past the hour. breaking overnight, wow, this was simply stunning. bernie sanders with an upset victory in michigan. such an unexpected result there. the sanders campaign didn't expect it. the clinton campaign didn't expect it. the polls did show it was going to happen. hillary clinton did win in mississippi by a huge margin. what does that mean? that hillary clinton won more delegates on this super tuesday. you're looking at the total delegates that includes sup superdelega superdelegates. on the republican side, donald trump had three strong wins, michigan, mississippi, high he. ted cruz won in idaho. an awful night for marco rubio. he didn't win any of the states. he picked up no delegates for sure in michigan, mississippi or idaho still waiting on hawaii. it's maximum one or two delegates. an awful night.

bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! >> you know, we knew from day one that we were going to have politically a hard time in the deep south. that is a conservative part of our country. but we new things were going to improve as we headed west. and last week we won utah with 78% of the vote. we won idaho with 79% of the vote. and we won democrats abroad with 67% of the vote. we are making significant inroads in secretary clinton's lead and we have with your support coming here in wisconsin, a path toward victory. >> bernie! bernie! >> we have -- i think it is hard for anybody to deny that our campaign has the momentum. you are the momentum. look around you tonight. and what we are seeing and what momentum means is in state after state, huge voter turnout! and that is how we win when working people and young people, when people have given up on the political process get back in and demand a government that represents all of us, not the 1%. that's how it works. momentum is about a week ago having 14,000 people out a

i think that the crowds help bernie. i agree that the pictures do tell the story and i agree with joan. my position is blue no matter who. >> well, mine too. >> and at this point i feel pirpir bernie has been a great value to this race. i think he has pushed the argument and the conversation to the left and i think he ought to stay in and go all the way through and then see. one other thing i'll say very quickly. even if the math is against him catching up, the math may be on his side to prevent secretary clinton from getting 2383 before the convention and if it goes down to the super delegates making the decision, then i think we going to have somewhat of a contested convention in philadelphia. >> you say you're blue all the way. seattle is not just blue versus red. this is a part of the country that also has red. you have green party members of the city counsel. you have socialists. this is not part of the country like other parts of the country where bernie has had to first introduce or explain and inoculate against c

do you think that is my man bernie sanders? [applause] that is bernie sanders. you know you can trust bernie sanders because in the 1960's in this country, bernie sanders can be found fighting for his country, even get arrested doing it. most politicians don't put that on their resume. was a man to risk arrest because he believed in what they were fighting for. he knew it wasn't the reality of 1961 but it could be the reality of 2016. if there were some proud people who were going to tell people just be realistic. campaign.patriotic we -- if we fight for what is right, we blew them out in maine. did you see what happened there. we blew them out in kansas as well. news from you good minnesota where we beat them something. we blew them out. that same victory is right in our grasp. right here in michigan. [applause] that same win is in our hands if we only reach for it and grab it. campaign with bernie, you see the people, the energy and the fire is on his side. it.can see it, you can feel but there's a whole lot of other folks who got other plans and maybe they ar

bernie! bernie! >> and the truth -- the truth is not only -- is not always pleasant. it's not always what we want to hear, but we cannot go forward unless we deal with the realities of american society today and that is what we are going to do. [ cheering ] >> bernie sanders speaking earlier this evening. ohio was a tough loss for bernie sanders. they spent a lot of money. >> they did actually across the five states they outspend her 12 million to 7 million. they put $4 million down last friday for the final three days of the campaign across the states. this is a bitter result for bernie sanders. he didn't expect to come away empty handed tonight. >> for those clinton supporters who wish bernie sanders would drop out, there is an argument to be made that it makes her a better candidate the longer he stays in, it also continues there being a battle on the democrat side. >> the idea that a contested primary is damaging for the general election is not historically borne out. when you get to this point in a primary the grooves are cut pretty deep and bernie sanders has fa

bernie sanders will get five or six. she will add to her 200 delegate margin by about 20 by the time all of the votes are counted tonight. hillary clinton will gain in terms of her path to the nomination even though michigan is a huge setback because the sanders campaign is arguing for democrats to win in november they have to get those votes in the states of michigan. until she can do that there's not the same sense of inevitability about her nomination. this has been a big night on the republic side for donald trump. he has won 14 states in the nomination contest and number 13 tonight is michigan. donald trump won 36 to 24. this was a double digit margin. much wider than people had participated. it underscores the donald trump that agrees with bernie sanders in terms of being ingredients free trade and naft and transpacific partnership. that economic message is playing well in placements like michigan and you're seeing democratic cross-over voters who like what he is saying and they registered in the primary tonight. d

you support bernie sanders. what is the most important thing you want to hear from both of these candidates tonight? >> i think folks want to hear how we will move our country forward. working families are hurting. this is a state that has been hollowed out by bad trade deals. folks want to know how we will build a nation and lift working people up. >> the beginning of the activities we can hear the announcers beginning to talk about it. let's talk about the difference on this one issue. are there significant differences between the two democratic candidates? >> both have been very clear that there is a need for the government to act and if the state government doesn't act the federal government should act. bernie said the governor should resign. what is also different is we have a campaign office here. it is a trusted water distribution center but i'd say both candidates truly care about flint. this is a crisis. it is impossible to be in this town for five minutes to hear how young people's brains have been aff

\[cheering] >> bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! sen. sanders: secretary clinton was in the senate and heard the same information that i did. i was in the house. she voted for the war. and that war is -- as all of you know turned out to be one of the worst foreign policy disasters in the modern history of america. now, in addition, in the last debate that i had with secretary clinton, she said something that really kind of blew me away. she said that henry kissinger thought that she did a very good job -- can't believe -- you -- you know who henry kissinger is, right? and why one would look for approval from one of the worst, most destructive secretaries of state in the history of this country, i don't understand. \[applause] i do not want henry kissinger's approval. when that day comes -- when that day comes, i know that i'll be doing something very wrong. now, the reason that our campaign is doing as well as it is, and we've come a long, long way, we started at 3% in the polls. and now we're closing

all of a sudden he turned himself into something of a victim with bernie sanders and bernie sanders' supporters on the other side and most importantly he's given his followers which are millions and millions of people, something like 35% of the vote cast, where he's given them something to say, kind of comeback about all this violence that has happened at these rallies and some of the rhetoric so they can now blame it on bernie sanders, this communist, so i think this works for donald trump. we'll have to see on tuesday what happens. >> bernie sanders, bernie's supporters get the credit for this, right and hillary clinton on the other side of it, i just wonder if you think mayor as a clinton supporter, this is in a way showing that perhaps donald trump sees bernie sanders as a more formidable threat in say a general? >> no, think it shows donald trump being the usual irresponsible donald trump, who is not taking any responsibility for virtually anything that happens in a campaign, and he could have obviously blamed senator sanders and next week he could be blaming secretary clinton.

bernie sanders does. he cuts against that grain, and now that we have one in michigan, we're going to turn this corner and bring the neoliberal era to a close, my sister. we're going to fight the neofascism of trump and going to invite you to get on the bernie sanders love train. juan: before we get on the love train, i have to say of ernie gets nominated, we have yet to see the real attacks -- >> we are ready. we are ready. juan: at this point, the attacks are concentrated mostly on trump. i would like to bring melina abdullah into this conversation. in terms of the appeal that dolores huerta has made to black lives matter to get involved when it comes to voting, even not just at the presidential level, but the congressional and senate races that are up and coming that will really determine what any president will be able to do, your response to dolores huerta? >> i think we have a great deal of respect for dolores huerta as well as dr. west. it is really important we understand what black lives matter i

clearly swaying very much for bernie sanders. i want to get you a look inside of the last of the four. there are four tables left here. so four precincts left who are still trying to divvy out who is going to be the folks that they were choose to go to the next round of voting, and you're seeing the papers right there. those are the ballots. the things forkesforkes -- folk to decide who is going to be their candidate. we have 13 of the 17 districts or precincts in at 28% for clinton. 72% for bernie sanders and now they're going to decide who their delegates are. once they're finished with counting, the final count for them and they will figure out who the delegates are that are going to the convention. >> all right. that's just one small snapshot, but if bernie sanders continues with a 70-30 margin of victory, the kind of margin he needs in order to overtake, or at least catch up, with secretary of state hillary clinton. let's go to jason carroll now at a caucus site outside tacoma in sill com, washington. what's going on where y

also among independents breaking for bernie sanders, young people breaking for bernie sanders. how does hillary clinton appeal to that without changing who she is as a candidate? >> i think you've hit on it is that hillary clinton can't change who she is because she's such a known entity. she was a free trader and she pushed the trade deals. voters who are very into the trade issue don't buy that and because of hillary clinton's problems with trust worthiness they doubt her position on trade. she's really stuck on that one. for donald trump it's a different situation because he's for free trade and pro-fair trade so it's like he prefers chocolate and van ilnilla. so donald trump has got the free traders and fair traders and not explaining how he plans to do that at all. >> policy and donald trump, maybe it will come up in thursday night's debate. >> coming up, hillary clinton went big against bernie sanders on the auto bailout. did that backfire on her in michigan. we have more next. at mfs investment management, we believe in the power of active management. by debating our res

applause]d "bernie!']ting bernie sanders: when my father came to the united states from poland at the age of 17, i know a little bit about the immigrant experience. and let me just say this. we have 11 million undocumented people in this country. if

bernie sanders had more than 30%. m.j., you've been doing some reporting on the clinton campaign, sort of the autopsy. michigan has only been over for a few hours, but they're trying to figure out what they did wrong. >> i think the bottom line is, campaigning hard matters. even in a state where the clinton campaign thought that they would do well, we saw signs that they were not campaigning as aggressive as they had in nevada or south carolina, for example. those count when people go to the polling stations. clinton only campaigned in places like detroit and flint, and neglected the other parts of the state. that's something the clinton campaign thinks could have hurt her. the clinton campaign now believes that perhaps the former secretary of state started focus on the general election a little too much. she didn't remain focused on many of the democratic nominations. and you could tell in her tone she was aiming her rhetoric at donald trump. often not naming him but it's clear who she was talking about, and letting

[cheers and applause] bernie sanders: let me just take this opportunity to say what i know is on everybody's mind. we are all aware of the terrible attacks that have taken place in brussels. dozens of people are dead, and hundreds of people have been wounded. i think i speak for everyone in expressing our condolences to the people of brussels.

that's a bernie person. it's a bernie person. that's a bernie person. get that bernie person out of here. held up a sign, i'm a protester. all right. get him out. get him out. >> now the campaign officially tells me that they have nothing to do with this. but it's, you know, grassroots supporters groups that are behind this effort. but, look, i don't think this is going to go away any time soon. the bernie sanders supporters that i've talked to think this was a huge victory for them. they would like to see this repeated down the line. >> sanders this morning speaking with al sharpton did not explicitly say don't go. he said i'm not responsible. but he never actually called on his supporters not to attend trump rallies. >> absolutely. i mean, book, think they that donald drum is a dangerous person for the country. and they -- a lot of them think that bernie sanders is the only one who can stop him from being president. that if he loses the nomination, hillary clinton can't do it because they think it takes an outsider to take on an outsider. this is the

get him out -- oh, bernie. bernie. it's another bernie sign. get out of here, bernie. get out of here, bernie. it's another bernie sign. get her out of here. out. that's a bernie supporter, folks. got the bernie sign. were you put in here by bernie? get out. out! [ crowd noise ] >> usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! >> get her out. get her out. where are these people coming from? unbelievable. where are they coming from? unbelievable. all right. thank you. any other protesters in the room? any other? they'll wear out. they get tired after a while. they get tired. that was a bernie -- she had a bernie sign, a big professionally made bernie sign. you know. bernie, bernie, our communist friend who's running. what a horrible thing. so those are bernie signs right off the printing press, and they put them in. he's not doing so well anyway. i guess it's going to be her. but we'll see. you go ahead. take care of them. get out of here. you know, if we do that to one of their rallies, you know what happens? front page how bad we are, okay? front page. we do that to on

i want to go to jeff who is covering bernie sanders' campaign. he's joining us right now from san diego with the campaign manager. tell us the latest. >> reporter: hi. i'm joined by jeff weaver. thanks for joining us. so a tough night in arizona tonight. senator sanders spent a lot of time there. what went wrong. >> i know cnn is projecting that 71% of the vote is in, but i think that's an under estimation of the number of people who were voting there. we've seen lines in arizona five hours long. that would be the people that voted, i think that's just wrong. so i think this race is going to close up substantially between now and the morning. >> are you predicting victory? >> no. we have to wait and see until the votes are counted. there's obviously something wrong with the numbers and i think once we see where they come down there may be a split of delegates in arizona. i do think in other places we're hearing good news. >> as this race goes forward john king has done a projection and he says even if you win 55% to 45% in every race going forwar

bernie sanders in massachusetts is doing very well. hillary clinton is doing well in boston and the boston suburbs. this race is close but it is a race that bernie sanders had thought would be part of his five states that he had a chance of winning tonight. this would be a major setback if hillary clinton wins it. a couple of states are that are still out. the minnesota caucus was thought to be a place where bernie sanders was doing well. he is hoping to have a victory there to make up for some decisive victories that hillary clinton had in the south. in the other state for bernie sanders, is c, lorado. he is up by 14 points. a sizeable count there. the whole argument from the bernie sanders campaign is we're going to win states outside of the south, we will show that when it comes to whiting class voters the progressers are moving towards us. they still have a lot of work to do with african-americans. it shows that some broke from hillary clinton four to one. voters under the age of 30 broke by the ratio of three to one. here is the m

bernie sanders pay be five or six. that spread of 25 is important because look at what is happening to hillary clinton in michigan. bernie sanders has a 3 point edge that would suggest he will probably win maybe around 70 of the delegates if this holds up. this will be a humiliation of hillary clinton given the importance that she had placed on michigan over the last couple of days. bernie sanders' message about inincome equality, unfair trade, that is resonating with the people there. if you look at the overall candidates, in overall delegates, she is head of bernie sanders by about 200 in the overall delegate count, 699 to 478. this margin is larger than it was for obama and hillary clinton in the 2008 race. clinton people say there's no way bernie sanders can overcome this, with results like tonight, but the bernie sanders campaign saying she is a regional candidate, she can only win in the south and bernie sanders is proving that he is winning in a state that democrats have to have in november if they're going to d

that's a slight lead for bernie sanders. still lots of votes outstanding, but it's very, very close. you can see how close it is in michigan right now on the democratic side. on the republican side, donald trump has the lead, but only 17% of the vote is in. anderson? >> david axelrod, when you look at those michigan numbers particularly for the democrats, are you surprised at how well sanders is doing, and do you think, i mean, to jeff weaver's point from the sanders campaign, we just heard from a moment ago, he was saying he thought hillary clinton attacking bernie sanders on the auto bailout at the debate hurt her. >> well, i don't know whether it hurt her or not. i do think it was, in my view, it was kind of a cheep shot because he voted against the bailout for banks from which some funds were used to help the auto industry and so he was clearly registering his disapproval of the bailout of the banks, and i thought it was a little too cute. i really don't think that's what made the difference, and if you look at these exi

she has 204,000 votes to bernie sanders 125,000 votes. she has 60.5% to bernie sanders 36.9%. an impressive win for hillary clinton over bernie sanders. let's go over to john king and see what's going on as we await the other contests in utah and idaho. >> as impressive lead for donald trump. 61% of the expected vote in statewide. it's worth noting he doesn't show up on our board because he dropped out of the race, but marco rubio is getting about 17% of the vote. marco rubio because of the early voting running ahead of john kasich. you have a lot of people out there saying if you them up -- >> they voted for him before he dropped out. >> right. it's not the way it works. if you didn't have early voting would those votes have gone to cruz today, that's the conversation on social media, but you play by the rules and there was early voting and this is what we have tonight. an impressive donald trump victory. 58 delegates. there's 40 more in utah. look at the numbers. you pop up the largest county in the state. the sheriff was for donald trump. the former governor for donald trum

[applause] [chanting] bernie, bernie, bernie! zanders: -- senator sanders: i have been told -- my critics say this, my opponent says ernie is a nice guy but just can't win a general election. he just can't beat those republicans. [applause] let me just say the polls go up and down and sometimes they are not always reliable bureau the fact -- virtually every national poll of has taken place has bernie sanders defeating donald trump. [cheers and applause] sanders: and almost all of those national polls and many state polls have bernie sanders defeating donald trump by a much wider margin than hillary clinton. ]cheers and applause senator sanders: here in michigan for example, there was a poll out the other day. hillary clinton did well against donald trump and beat him by 16 points, we beat him by 22 points. [cheers and applause] senator sanders: that is true in state after state after state. the reason that we will together defeat donald trump if he is the republican candidate is not complicated. that is that the american people a

thank you, bernie sanders: fwoirn. -- thank you bernie sanders. we need someone who has bold leadership who understands with climate change, with health care, with education, with our future at stake that we need bold leadership from someone we can trust. someone who has stood up for justice his entire life. they have not listened to him, but we are. and we need to keep spreading that message, because people are voting against themselves. they are hurting themselves and their future. and we need to help them. we need to help them and each other, because this is about us. not me. it's not one person. it's not just a party. it's not the g.o.p. versus the d.n.c. this is about the 99% that is too big to fail against the 1%. so when i hear someone ask me, well, well, well, if it comes down to it, will you vote for the other candidate if it's trump? i say if you want to beat trump, vote bernie. we are playing chicken here. and we can't pull back. they are going to have to turn. that candidate is the ralph nader not bernie sanders. as an independent he i

this could get bigger for bernie sanders. but right now from the city of detroit, can hillary clinton expand that margin that she's getting in wayne county and as she expands it -- it's still not updated. as she expands that are there enough areas left in the rest of the state for bernie sanders to offset it. we have a real barn burner here in michigan. >> because this is an all hands situation, i'm going to ask chuck todd to come here and join us at the desk. we're here with lawrence and eugene. what do you make of this? >> this would be a big deal for bernie sanders if he can win. >> it's a big deal if he loses and it's a big deal if he wins. >> with these numbers, i went to the university of michigan and i kind of know the state, it's really hard to tell who is going to win this because -- she's going to get those votes. i think there's more to come in kent and that's going to be mostly bernie sanders. it's going to be very -- my old friend dan rather would say it's tight as a tick. >> this is happening in the real america

this is what bernie sanders had to say about it. >> what can tonight means is that the bernie sanders campaign, the people's revolution that we are talking about, the political revolution that we are talking about is strong in every part of the country and frankly we believe that our strongest areas are yet to happen. >> all right. now, the democratic delegate count as it stands right now this morning, let's throw it up there. hillary clinton at 1234, bernie sanders 567. that does include super delegates, but even if you take them out hillary clinton has more than a 200 delegate lead and she built on that tonight. >> donald trump, it was his night. trump sweeping to victory in the michigan around mississippi primaries dominating the republican field in those two major races. there was also a primary in idaho won by ted cruz. caucuses in hawaii, we're waiting for details any moment from hawaii. trump though at his victory news conference taking aim at his opponents' attack ads calling them $38 million worth of horrible lies. >> i think what this shows really more than anything else is

>> yes, bernie sanders he it is sort of a gadfly outsider container, let's make no mistake, bernie sanders is a sophisticated campaigner. pat divine is one of the well-paid high quality political assistants, who is attempting to win him in to the party, and sort of trying to take that away from hillary clinton. but they do have institutional knowledge, he is a politician, he has been in the senate and house, you can't do that without being a politician. his message is very outside and he is actually outside the democratic party apparatus. but he is a politician, they're running a sophisticated campaign. >> may i submit evidence for support of your point? >> sure. >> we looked at the sec filings that require them to say what they spend their money on, but bernie sanders started to spend several million dollars on national democratic party pollsters. he did not start that way to joy's point, but once he had the dough, he was oh, i want that too. trump, whether you think it's a pro or con, has never come around to spending that much money. there is an open question whether he is a general ele

were yelling, bernie, bernie, bernie. perhaps senator sanders should be having a conversation with his supporters. >> and you are a bernie sanders supporter. how do you respond to that? should bernie sanders also have something to say about the people who disrupted donald trump saying they were bernie sanders supporters? >> we have a long history of protests in this country and wouldn't have some of the most important civil rights legislation passed if we didn't have peaceful protests for the majoties and bernie sanders the difference between the donald trump protestors or donald trump audience and supporters in the audience, they've had audience members, donald trump supporters, punch reporters. had them punch protestors. they've escorted people out. donald trump's own staff member grab at reporter. we're talking about two very different groups of people, and donald trump, be very clear here. he's inciting this. he's encouraging it, legitimizing racist violence in his own arenas, where he's giving these speeches, and tha

bernie sanders ahead. and in both illinois, bernie sanders is able to win 2-1. it might expand her delegate lead, but momentum is based on victories, and not on delegates. >> let's get to ali velshi, set the scene there for us, please. >> reporter: well, the scene is kind of small. this is an unusually small room for a party to celebrate what should have been a victory for the hometown boy, marco rubio, and it's not expected to be, but even though it's a small room. marco rubio saying that no matter what happens, he's off to uptied ut tomorrow. and there was even some speculation that he might pull out of the race before tonight because of the expected poor showing in his home state. it's very difficult for a presidential candidate to go before it in a state that you know best. and donald trump is expected to win in ohio tonight. ted cruz knew that, and he squeaked out a victory in texas and everybody says that if he didn't, he couldn't go on. marco rubio has lost so much momentum in this race, and to be battered in his home state it will hurt. the polls are mos

that is bernie sanders secret sauce. he needs that huge turnout in order to do well. >> joe, there was a suggestion that hillary clinton cared more about flint. at least that's when she was playing that she cared more about flint than bernie sanders, that she cared more about the car industry. that she cared more about detroit and michigan than bernie sanders. what would an upset for hillary clinton tonight mean for this race? >> well clearly it would show just how powerful, how well organized and inevitable hillary clinton is if the democratic candidate date for president. she's believe up a lead. bernie sanders has done away great job of nursing democrats, especially new, young democratic voters, voters who are angry and feel that the economy is rigged but hillary clinton has just been so powerful. she's really racked up a huge lead, and i think it's going to be hard, no matter what. even if she happens to lose michigan tonight, the math isn't there to say that bernie sanders somehow wins all this. >> in some ways, a w

>> bernie sanders, nice guy, combs his hair really well. but he cannot win a general election. [ audience booing ] >> the stakes in this election just keep getting higher and higher. >> not only are we beating trump badly in state polls, we're doing much better against trump than is hillary clinton. >> come out and vote! and let's have the future we deserve in america! >> we are part of the political revolution! >>> here's a live look at bernie sanders' event in flagstaff, arizona. we're expecting senator sanders to be on the stage and speak to supporters at any moment. we'll bring you that live when it happens. voters in three states will be going to the polls tomorrow for primaries and caucuses. that includes arizona. democrats will be voting there. as well as in utah, and idaho. republicans are holding contests in arizona and utah. idaho republicans voted earlier this month, giving ted cruz a win in that primary. today, bernie sanders had events in all three of those states, where democrats are voting tomorrow. earlier today, he was in b

[cheering] bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! >> in my view, in my view, something i believed my whole life. health care is a right of all people, not a privilege. [cheering] we are prepared to reform in a major way a broken criminal justice system. it is an international embarrassment that we have more people in jail than any other country on earth. it is not unrelated that we are communities where young kids, white, black, latino, native american, are suffering unemployment rates of 30, 40, 50 percent. so you know what we're going to do? we're going to invest in education and jobs for our kids. investment in education and jobs, not jails, not incarceration. and all of us are tired of seeing unarmed people shot and killed. now, i've been a mayor for eight years, and i've worked with police all over my state, all over this country. vast majority of police officers are honest and hard-working. but if a police officer, like any other public official, breaks the law, that officer must be held accountable. [cheering] we do not want t

oh, bernie. bernie. it's another bernie sign. get out of here, bernie. get out of here, bernie. it's another bernie sign. get her out of here. out. that's a bernie supporter, folks. got the bernie sign. were you put in here by bernie? get out. out! (chanting usa). >> get her out. get her out. where are these people coming from? unbelievable. where are they coming from? unbelievable. all right. thank you. any other protesters in the room? any others? they'll wear out. they get tired after a while. they get tired. that was the bernie -- she had a bernie side, a big professionally made bernie sign. you know. bernie, bernie, our communist friend who is running. what a horrible thing. so those are bernie signs right off the printing press and they put them in. he's not doing so well anyway. i guess it's going to be her. but we'll see. you go ahead. take care of them. get out of here. you know, if we do that to one of their rallies, you know what happens? front page how bad we are. okay? front page. we do that to one of their rallies, to bernie or to hillary, and they would say, isn't

bernie and donald trump would carry the same state. it's just going to send a big message all through next week. brian? >> chris matthews, thank you. chris matthews in detroit for us tonight. and we are still keeping an eye on the results in from michigan, where it is too close to call. a large proportion of the vote is in, and the margin between clinton and sanders is pretty chunky at this point. looks like there's about 34,000 votes between them. but chuck todd explaining earlier why it may be that this race is not being called. steve kornacki has a closer look at what vote we've got and what vote we don't have. >> also a detail from the exit poll that might be interesting, given that we have been talking so much about wayne county, detroit in that area. right now about a 35,000-vote lead statewide for bernie sanders. looking at wayne county, about two-thirds of the vote in, still 25,000 for hillary clinton, the lead there. now, what we've been saying is that the expectation is that as more vote comes in, this hillary clinton lead an

people believe that bernie sanders says what he means. so, revealing a bit of herself that way is important. it is a way to sort of say, this is who i am. this is what i am. to explain the failings of her campaign at times. why she can never really run away with things. why she is always in a dog fight. i thought it was a striking moment. it was probably the most memorable moment of last night. >> what about wall street speeches? she was a new york senator. wall street was right in her backyard. she did go to wall street in the days before the financial crash and said subprime mortgages. cut it out as she has put it. bernie sanders has tried to paint her as too cozy to wall street. he is the guy to fix the system that's rigged against the little guy. he continued to hammer on that last night, eric. >> he did. you know, part of why this is so effective for him is bernie sanders' position is not complicated. hillary clinton's is. she does leave room for compromise. he doesn't. this is something that has been a problem for her for months. th

but bernie sanders won a few states too. he picked up colorado, minnesota, and oklahoma, three states he had really targeted and he also won his home state of vermonting of course, in a blowout. now, when you combine those wins with the $42 million that bernie sanders hauled in in february alone, you can see why he's not planning to drop out any time soon either, especially with more democratic debates coming up, more opportunities to chip into hillary clinton's lead or change the story. >> there's a lot ahead here for all of these candidates. edward brad never, you have a fantastic piece. anybody who wants more on that. thanks, eric. it was a big night for the front-runners. donald trump, hillary clinton, not enough to drop the others off the board. josh rogin, byers, maeve. they say, look, this guy has a following and he's going to move forward and get the nomination, but when you talk about electability -- first talk about how solid his lead was and then talk about the solidness of the exit polls. >> it was really interes
