and while ohio governor john kasich is leading in most polls in ohio. if trump tops kasich and marco rubio in their home states tonight, any candidate will be facing an uphill battle on that side to stop the trump train. so let's bring in former democratic congressman from ohio and fox news contributor dennis kucinich and former florida senator george lemieux. you are in the critical states. to begin with, dennis, start with you. you've got your ear to the ground in ohio, the big battleground state. on both sides, democrat and republican, who does it look is the winner here? >> the republican side i think trump has been closing fast. john kasich is the favorite son in ohio for the republicans. he has been the governor. people know him here, he has many supporters. donald trump is a national phenomenon. you have those two forces that are clashing. the thing to watch for tonight is this, democrats who are not polled in republican primaries crossing over and voting in the republican primary for trump because that factor is what could change the outcome fro

it's the pivotal moment for the ohio governor john kasich. kasich.9 on your side's evan millward is live near cleveland where kasich will hear the results this evening. he has the governor's reaction to seeing his name on the ballot today - evan? this is clearly a buckeye battle between trump and kasich -- the governor indicated he may drop out of the race if he doesn't win here tonight - - but he isn't addressing his toughest opponent today.governor kasich voted this morning in columbus and told cameras there that he his day.depending on the poll you look at, he's in a dead-heat with trump here in ohio - tied at 38 percent according to quinnpiac university.the two couldn't be running more different campaigns - something the governor alluded to at the polls this morning. 20-35(15 seconds)"you know attention and success can be very, very dangerous if its not handled the right way and time, make sure that i'm handling it the right way which is to be appreciative of the opportunity." in the last few weeks - both kasich's campaign and the super p

how is trump doing so well in ohio? >> donald trump is tapping into something, and that is people are angry at what's been going on in washington and they blame both parties. we need common sense coming out of our states. x need established leadership and experience that will carry us forward. john kasich has that experience and he will bring that common sense back to washington. heather: if kasich does not winnow high oh, will you support trump? >> we'll support the nominee. we have four solid candidate running. we'll get behind those candidate. one of the four running will be the one earning the nomination. but there is still a lot of voting. nearly half of the delegates about to be decided. i'm proud to be a kasich delegate. heather: do you support all of these candidate staying in the race, rubio if he doesn't win florida and kasich if he doesn't winnow high oh? who do you think it benefits if all of these candidate continue on? >> it's important to have a positive message behind the candidate you favor first as opp

data shows 10% of ohio republicans, of ohio democrats voted republican. experts say that case sick the only option for moderates and independents and the establishment. it's impossible for him to get the delegates he needs to get nominees. if he picks up delegates in other primaries, it would make it harder for donald trump to win the nomination outright, potentially leading to a brokered convention in july. and case sick fired up after the victory. >> and we put one foot in front of the other, and i want to remind you again tonight that i will not take the low road to the highest office in the land. expects to picture up votes from marco rubio supporters. he suspended his campaign but rubio gets to keep delegates he won already. >> thank you. >>> and now, let's talk about the democrats. many predicted hillary clinton would beat bernie sanders in ohio and she did. she had a double-digit lead over him, 56-43% and she beat him in rural, urban, and ifm may -- female voters. where do they stand in terms of delegates? corrina has more. >> reporter: the latest

good morning to you, rick. >> reena and kendis, ohio stirred something up that only ohio may be able to settle. that meaning the republican convention over the summer. donald trump a split decision winning a couple of states but losing critical battleground of ohio to john kasich and marco rubio leaving but john kasich likely to emerge as the establishment alternative. when you combine that with ted cruz, you have three moving forward and donald trump is likely to be the person that ends this process with more delegates than anyone else. he is unlikely, though to necessarily have a majority and that means you might have that contested convention, it would be all about ohio so big tests about and big vulnerabilities that reveal themselves around the front-runner. >>> we're analyzing the exit polls this morning. they reveal a lot about how voters are feeling about all the candidates. >> abc's lauren lyster has been going through all the data and joins us with what she's found, lauren, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. first let's talk donald trump. he showed his continued appeal

the polls showed ohio as a toss-up going into yesterday, but ohio governor john kasich won by 11 points over donald kasich' it' s a winner-take-all contest. last night, john kasich celebrated in berea, ohio. even during his victory speech he took veiled shots at donald t take the low road to the highest office in the country. in office would be full of shock and awe, getting problems solved with the help of democrats. mr. kasich: i look into your eyes, and you want to believe again that we can have job security. that raises -- that wages can rise. you want to believe that your chidlren will have a better america than our mothers and fathers. that is the great american legacy, that our kids will be better than we are. andrew: and while john kasich doesn' t have a clear path to get the delegates needed, he stands a better chance of picking up delegates going forward. now just three candidates left. reporting live, andrew setters, wlwt news 5. mark: despite his loss here in ohio, donald trump can still officially call himself the front-runner among the republican candidates. his biggest wi

nafta destroyed ohio, took the businesses out of ohio, and he voted for it. you look at what he's done, he's in favor of common core. he's just now come out in favor of amnesty and open borders. i think the man is just not very popular. lou: well, we're going to find out tonight just how popular he is in his home state, the favorite son, governor john kasich. senator ted cruz running second to trump in the delegate race, 370 to trump's now -- with the addition of the mare mariana islands -- 469 delegates. the texas senator hoping for a strong showing, of course, in north carolina, missouri and illinois where he made five campaign stops yesterday. so cruz says, don't count him out. >> three of those states -- illinois, missouri and north carolina -- we're neck and neck. three of those states we're effectively tied with donald trump, and we are campaigning hard and vigorously in all three of them. the remaining two, ohio and florida, we are surging powerfully. lou: and senator rubio and governor kasich are fighting for their political lives tonight, each in des

yes, if you pick against ohio state in ohio, that's just bad politics. >> unfortunately. let's bring in cnn, kuang. if there is marco rubio country, where you are is it? >> reporter: absolutely. this is a county that should go into marco rubio's box. we're seeing a steady stream of voters. florida rules say we have to stay 100 feet away from the area, the voting booth. that's where people are ticking their ballots. there's no one there right now. what we've seen is a slow number of people coming through, slowly filing those ballots. that is deceiving. looks are deceiving. in this county, early voting is very, very good according to people who run this county and keep track of the numbers. we're hearing that turnout here for rubio very good. what's interesting, kate and john, is to the north, turnout in those anti-establishment counties looking very good for donald trump. >> north and south florida, a little bit different from each other. thank you so much. >>> in case you haven't caught it yet, it's all about the delegates. 1237 is the magic number on the republican said.

florida and ohio. what do we care about tonight. florida and ohio. stay with us all night. five states, five primaries, on both sides. we're all here. we'll see you in a few. >>> come and join us, we welcome you. >> will it be another night of surprises for the democrats? >> what we saw in michigan, we're going to see in florida. >> it's make-or-break. tuesday. >> i'm so worried about what could happen if we don't elect a president who can represent all of america. >>> good evening and here we go again. i know we have declared previous tuesdays super, but it may turn out that this one is indeed the most consequential of all. put another way, political ar keyologist, we just don't know what they'll find. >> chuck todd calling it separation tuesdays. good words that start with s. honestly, the fact that it is this contested, so much unknown, this far into the primary season, it's putting some people into a stupor for this tuesday, because it feels like too much information. i think we're going to get a little bit of clarity by the end of tonight. poll closings at 7:30, and th

be governor of ohio. next year, marco rubio could be unemployed. >> yeah, no, that's exactly right. and john kasich, in addition to the high popularity approval ratings in this state, close to 80%, he's also undefeated. in 12 tries, he's never lost here in local and statewide elections. he's putting that on the line again tonight. i want to share some information from you. i just spoke to some aides, literally within the last ten minutes. yesterday, they were extraordinarily confident that they would win in the state tonight. when i spoke to them five minutes ago, i said, how do you feel now that you have a little bit of information on how things are going today? they said, more confident than yesterday. so what explains that besides the typical bluster you hear on a night like this? it may be the hard data that they are seeing from around the state that our own reporters are sharing with us right now. this note i just got from chris jansing a mart of minutes ago, at a polling place in suburban cleveland,

ohio. polls show a dead heat or a slight edge for kasich in ohio. it' s difficult to say just what that lead may be. some polls show a double-digit lead over bernie sanders. others show a tighter race and both sides have been working to for democrats, it' s not winner take all, so a close race means a close split in the delegates awarded from ohio. mr. sanders: a few weeks ago people were saying, bernie sanders winning ohio? no way. well, guess what. we have a good vote tomorrow, people come out, we' re going to win here in ohio. mrs. clinton: i am so worried about our country and what could happen if we don' t band together to elect a president who can represent all of america. andrew: we' ll know how it all shakes out tonight. the polls close at 7:30 and the results should start rolling in here at the hamilton county board of elections shortly after. reporting live, andrew setters, mark: volunteers were hard at work monday calling voters to get some last-minute support before primary day.

what a good guy, ohio. oh, i love ohio. i love ohio. you know, i worked in ohio for summers, in cincinnati, and i love cincinnati. and i had a great experience. it was early on and it was a job, and i bought it with my father. i bought it and it worked out really well. i stayed here, i ran the job myself. i was very, very young. and i bought it for this and i sold it for this and i looked good and i felt good. it's like sinking that first putt or getting a home run your first time at bat. so, i always had a good feeling for ohio and the people are amazing people. thank you. i love you. look at these two. i don't know if the media's getting this. i mean, here we have a full hangar, and we thought, and this is a big, big hangar. this can take just about anything. and we figured the crowd would be okay, and we have so many thousands of people extra that we had to put them out in the runway, right? they never want to capture that, just so you understand, right? they'd never want to. so, it's really fantastic. let's address -- thank you, dar

tia, brian. here in ohio. our voters along with voters in four other states head to the polls for what some call super tuesday 2.0. >> brian: we begin the live team coverage, 2016 team coverage with cleveland 19 reporter nichole vrsansky. a lot of people today are voting for the very first time. >> nichole: that's right, brian. a judge cleared the way for 17-year-olds registered to vote and will be 18 before the november election to come out and vote today at polling places like this. we're at the fairfax rec center in cleveland. the polling judges are just getting everything ready, getting the equipment set up and paperwork in place. we watched them take their oath of duty, sworn in to be an election judge at this polling place today. people will be arriving and voters arrive around 6:30, and they are expecting a large crowd. they expect the biggest crowds to come in after about 8:00 today. more than 417,000 people have that's according to the secretary of state. that's more than what they saw in 2012 but les

welcome back to columbus, ohio. we're in the student center a couple blocks away from the democratic town hall that is taking place. in this very important state, governor john kasich faces a major bid with a must-win in tuesday's primary. he says he will drop out if he loses in his home state and the biggest obstacle before him is the unprep diktable campaign being waged by donald trump. >> there's no question that donald trump has created a toxic atmosphere, pitting one group against another and name-calling and all of those kinds of things. i think there are people that would go to a rally that would look to disrupt. the environment is there and he needs to back off and start being aspirational telling people to get it together. at my events, any of my town halls or rallies or whatever, i tell people that we can solve these problems and i've got a record to show whether it was in washington creating jobs and an inenvironment for job creation in ohio, you can go into a room and get people depressed and down and an

and we can now report on the republican side that governor casic of ohio has won ohio, on the republican side. and we join the special report for the entire network. stay tuned. >>> this is an abc news special report. your voice, your vote. now reporting, george stephanopoulos. >>> we are coming on the air now with breaking news in the race for the white house. it is big news from the critical state of ohio. abc news can project that governor john kasich has defeated donald trump in his home state. he'll get all 66 delegates there tonight. i'm here with our political analyst matthew dowd, and matt, this is big news. because it dramatically increases that no republican is going to have the delegates they need before the convention in cleveland. >> the odds of a contested convention go up dramatically. it stops donald trump's moment m momentum. it's likely to be a major fight on the convention floor of who will be the gop nominee. >> have not seen anything like it since 1976. let's go to jon karl at the delegate map. >> george, it all comes down to those delegates. if you look at where thi

welcome back to columbus, ohio, and the campus of ohio state university. tonight, cnn is hosting the town hall for the democratic presidential candidates. let's now turn to the florida primary where marco rubio faces an uphill battle in winning his home state. earlier, rubio said why voters need to repudiate trump at the polls on tuesday. >> maybe you think it's a joke but there are people out there that are not balanced. there are people out there that are not completely in control of themselves and they hear something like this from a leader, you don't know what they are going to do next. and when someone is seeking a position of leadership and is already in a position of influence, you speak responsibly. this notion that a candidate can say whatever they want, it's not true. it's reckless and dangerous. i hope people wake up on time and see what is happening here because if we reach a point in this country where we can't have a debate about politics without it getting to levels of violence and anger and people think just because you're angry you can say

then let's talk about the state where you are right now, ohio. all eyes are on ohio. a lot of polls show secretary clinton has a comfortable lead there, but if you talk to the campaigns, they think it's much closer. the reason why, of course, that surprise win in michigan. that has really rattled the clinton campaign. it's clear that senator sanders' message about trade and the economy resonating throughout the midwest. secretary clinton, though, feeling very confident here in florida and north carolina, and of course, she's going to have her big rally here in florida later on tonight. tamron. >> kristen, let's also talk about one of the things that many anticipated would happen with senator sanders challenging secretary clinton, that she would move to the left further to the left, and now you have this over trade and even the death penalty, a part of the story line today. >> absolutely is. and look, i spoke with one top democrat who put it this way. the challenge for secretary clinton right now, if she can continue to rack up her delegates lead, is going to be not to

with the campaign in berea ohio, em, 9oys. ohio but it was far from a bad night for him in other states. the billionaire business man took florida, north carolina, and illinois.missouri is still too close to call this morning. this increases his already large lead over his rivals. trump is promising his win it. big night for hillary clinton too.the former secretary of state took in three primary victories .clinton won ohio, florida, and north carolina -- serving a big blow to bernie sanders.these wins strengthened her lead over sanders.at the end of the evening -- she has about two-thirds of the delegates to clinch the nomination. not so much for marco rubio who called it quits after getting trounced by trump in his home state. state.ending up trailing trump by nearly 19 percentage points. rubio says its clear that republicans want something different this time around. 6.04.00 we also need a new political establishment in our on anyone outside of d.c. not one that tells the young they have to wait their turn or in line. and not one only interested in winning elections and not solving pr

n ohio. he could have a good night elsewhere. 4 other primaries and continuec to build on his momentum. magic number here. 1237. needed to clench the nomination.om much more unlikely tonight that nobody gets there. so while the parties not eager to see a brokered convention. it's a real possibility tonight. t >> right now trump projected i guess. could win in pennsylvania. although the governor does have momentum going. >> . he has potentially donald trump. a very big night. a loti of delegates at stake in illinois asn well. 8 years ago. when she beat then senator obama in the primary. >> . clinton reached back to ohio. o in her remarks tonight. >> . 8 years ago. on the night of the ohio primary. i said i was running for everyone. who has ever been counted out. berefuseed to be knocked out. for everyone who has stumbledst but stood back up. >> also said the nation needs aa president who tries to bring people together. t rather than trying to divided people through her word bigotry.go a clear

look at ohio. we asked that same question in ohio. it's a little less there. 75% of democrats there say they are very or somewhat worried. then we went back to the trade issue that bernie sanders rode to success in michigan. look here in ohio. 28% say trade with other countries creates u.s. jobs. 53% a majority of democrats in ohio say it takes away u.s. jobs of the that's not as big as it was in michigan. down about four points, guys. but clearly in states like missouri, ohio, illinois, that sanders pob you louse economic appeal, there is a big electorate that has opened his argument. i'm sure that's why the clinton campaign is very focused on the midwest states. >> david chalian, thank you so much. dana, that's one of the things on my show earlier, mayor nutter, a clinton supporter, was pushing back when bernie sanders was talking about why he does better with voters that don't like nafta, cafta, and the trade deal. while hillary clinton was not in office. she was just first lady during nafta. she now opposes the pacific trade deal

john kasich wins ohio. but still people think he has credibility, he is the governor of ohio, for heavens sakes. >> do polls point, if kasich does in fact win ohio, then the chances of there being some sort of a brokered convention, some sort of a deal? >> i think there are people scheming as we speak to try to arrange that. i really do think that. whether or not they will succeed is a whole other story. there would be such an incredible backlash if the perception was afoot that they were in any way monkeying with this and succeeded. >> because already, i mean, we talked about this before, we've seen in the polls already, among voters, there's huge dissatisfaction, distrust of their own party leaders. >> one of the thing i learned when i was home this weekend, i write a monthly column, on a front page that 46,000 democrats had registered to vote in the republican primary in april. and the comment was, obviously, that there's something going on here. i've seen trump people say that's why they're doing it. >>

, ohio, ohio. a lot of other people looking at ted cruz having a good night in missouri, having a good night possibly in illinois. we don't know. i've got to say, though, i still believe friday night may provide donald trump with momentum for all the right reasons or all the wrong reasons. it just seems right now like he is so dominated the race. >> you're talking about the case os in chicago. >> it seemed to be precalculated. he is, think about it, since then, he has sucked all of the oxygen out of the room. everybody has been talking about trump. today, he had a phone call with mitch mcconnell, majority leader. which shows, again, trump is now realizing he has got to start reaching out to republicans. mcconnell made it known that he told donald trump that any vai lensz -- violence, regardless of whose fault, must be discouraged and condemned. >> kind of seems like a no brainer, but thank you. under the ohio election laws, they can decide which party they want to vote for, so will ohio democrats b

could it lead to a big upset in ohio as well? next. >>> but first, in detroit, just had nearly three feet of snow this winter. they know that they can't cut out winter soon, so here's what cnn's "hero of the week" has done. veronica turned a coat into a sleeping bag at night. >> the jacket itself was meant to offer people warmth and a little bit of pride, because you see so many people on the streets that are wearing somebody else's trash. somebody else's throwaway. it was about creating something that was made specifically for them. >> you can see much more of veronica's story at cnnheroes.com. while there nominate someone you think should be the 2016 cnn hero. go to cnn heroes.com. quick break. quick break. we'll be right back. developed our most revolutionary feature yet. a car that can see trouble and stop itself to avoid it. when the insurance institute for highway safety tested front crash prevention nobody beat subaru models with eyesight. not toyota. not ford or any other brand. subaru eyesight. an extra set of eyes, ever

the words ohio, it's up to you. so, george, what happens if donald trump wins in ohio, what happens if he loses? >> david, it's a presidential election, it is always up to ohio, no question about that. and tonight is no exception. if donald trump wins tonight, winner take all in ohio, he has a big lead in florida, as well. he will have the argument that he's won the biggest states, got the most delegates and the momentum. he'll have a real shot of wrapping this up before the convention in cleveland. if he loses, if he doesn't get the 66 delegates, he is going to need to get 60% of the delegates going forward in order to wrap up this before the convention. the olds of a contested convention go way up. it will be hard to see how any of the candidates remain in this race can get the delegates they need before cleveland. >> in the meantime, on the democratic side, george, how important is ohio for hillary clinton? >> if she wins ohio tonight on top of north carolina and florida, she'll have a huge delegate lead. almost

however losing ohio. which has 143 delegates will make it hard for senator sanders to catch up to linn ton. in the weeks here to come. thank you. >> ohio is just one of five states voting tonight. >> . results from florida turned this into a 3 man race. >> . standing by. with the latest. >> . trump and clinton won florida. handily. as expected. florida was a winner take all state. important of ohio. without the victory tonight caseic would have had to drop out. >> he's pulling well in connecticut. california. and where the governor is from. pennsylvania. next. all right. thank you. we're also watching a pair of >> . on the democratic side. former governor streubg strict and on the republican side. portman is dominating. >> still early. but the numbers have flip-flopped here. having a very early lead. now with less than 14 percent still of the vote counted. o mallly up. two men in the race. >> targeting repeat offenders and creating a task forts force. to prosecute old rape cases. his message has been drow

ohio. here's where we stand. magic number for republicans, 1, 237. and donald trump holds 469 of them. and cruz has 370 and rubio 163 and john kasich has 63. >> on the left hillary clinton has double the number of delegates and she is halfway there and sanderses has 580. ed henry in florida and we start with doug in ohio, another key state. >> reporter: rocky river ho on ohio. the turn out is heavier than in 2012. governor kasich cast his ballot in the township and someone had to assist him are for the electronic process. we don't know if it was a computer dmrich he didn't understand it. he spoke to members of the media and talked about how casting a vote for himself is a humbling experience. one of the hallmarks of his campaign from governor kasich is staying above the fray and not getting in the mud wrestling. and how it will not stay ha way. >> i will forced going forward to talk about the deep dinners i have about the way this campaign has been run by some others, by one other in partic

he lost ohio to ohio's governor john kasich and he may end up with a fourth win in missouri. on the democratic side, hillary clinton won four states including ohio. ohio, illinois, missouri were all in question. now, missouri is still too close to call this morning. missouri with 100% of the precincts in, hillary clinton is leading bernie sanders, but it's less than 1%. we're still waiting for supervisional and absentee ballots. the same is true on the republican side. donald trump is leading ted cruz by 1,700 votes. we're not officially calling it because it's going to take some time to get the numbers in, but he is leading there. both donald trump and hns understa understandably and deservedly celebrating their victories. >> look. this is my second home, florida. to win by that kind of a number is incredible. >> we know we will add to our delicate lead to roughly 300 with over 2 million votes nationwide. we are moving closer to securing the democratic party nomination and winning this election in november. >> all right. let's talk about this big election, jay. joining us no

but in ohio some polls have kasich ahead. trump's campaign has said they'll make up the rally in doral if he's successful on election day. reporting live jordan burgess. 9 on your side. marco rubio will be taking his campaign down the east coast of florida today. his second to last stop predominantly christian university.rubio is trying to make up some losses in his home state. a cbs-you gov poll released sunday puts the florida senator in third behind donald trump and teaxs senator ted cruz.rubio who says he saw large crowds over the weekend at various rallies says he's the only one poised to beat trump in florida.so far millions have been spent in television attack ads by special interest to help secure rubio's win. question is we'll just have to find out tomorrow. in west palm beach, i'm andrew ruiz. hillaryclinton is looking for a sweep in tomorrow's primaries.she leads bernie sanders in all five states, including ohio. ohio.the two democrats are coming off of a town hall meeting in columbus.many of the voter questions ce

i know ohio. last night donald trump was in my backyard and he made a stop there, he's popular in the mahoning valley with cross over democrats and the vind cater had a great story or more than 12,000 early votes from democrats picking up a reel ballot, which is legal in ohio, saying that they wanted to vote for donald trump. it's jim traf began country. he embodies the donald trump tractor beam on those who are disappointed with president obama, with the republican party, with their lives, whatever, he's very strong up there, but down south and in columbus you see just -- i cannot imagine anyone climbing the kasich wall, he's going to win and john weaver will sit down and make the appeal to the party that here is a conservative guy, john kasich, and he ought to be on any regular year the nominee of the party and you will see him go forward to places like california, again, pick up some delegates and then ted cruz dealing with the traditional conservative insurgency, he's the goldwater candidate t

winner take all in florida and ohio. huge implications for john kasich, governor of ohio and then marco rubio in florida. donald trump is campaigning in both states today trying to seal the deal. he ended up in ohio where the polls show him in a tight race with john kasich. cnn's jim acosta has the latest. >> reporter: john and christine, donald trump was able to get his message across in ohio at the rally. no disruptions. the trump campaign had people park miles away and take buss s to get here. as for trump's acknowledttack, one thing about kasich. >> kasich cannot make america great. he can't do it. if you didn't hit oil, and that wasn't because of him, if you didn't hit oil, you would have had a disaster. this would have been as bad as any of them. >> reporter: a kasich victory in ohio and a rubio win in florida would signal the first time that trump may not have the delegates necessary to clinch the nomination. >> thank you, jim. hillary clinton campaigning hard with one eye on donald trump making the best case she

tonight, all eyes on ohio. governor john kasich is betting on his home team advantage to help him score ohio's 66 delegates it's a winner take all state one of tonight's biggest prizes. dan simon live at a polling station in north olmsteed, ohio. >> reporter: not surprisingly in our unscientific survey john kasich is doing well with republicans voters but democrat voters as well. the same can be said of donald trump. a spoke to a 59-year-old construction worker supported democratic candidates his entire life. today he supported donald trump. let me explain. when you come to the desk if you're a voter in ohio, you can choose either a democratic ballot or republican ballot. republicans here on the pink side, democratic ballots here on the green side. so the bottom line is, that crossover vote could be critical in determining the winner tonight. i can tell you that voter turnout has been extremely high high at this one precinct and the same can be said throughout the entire state, according to the secretary of sta

when you live in ohio and you are the governor of ohio, you take a pounding from people. and they distort records and all of that. but as schwarzenegger told me in 2010, love the beatings, john. i love the beatings. we'll be fine tomorrow and moving on and it's going to get very interesting. >> you and trump have ratcheted up criticism in recent days. you've said he's created a toxic environment, points to comments he's made, incidents of violence at his rally. he said those are outside agitators who come to stir things up and provoke his supporters. do you buy that? >> no, i don't at all. donald trump in some of his rhetoric at these rallies that i just read yesterday was the first time i read them is atrocious. it is not the mark of a leader of the united states of america. i am deeply disturbed by what i've read and then i happen to see that rally in chicago. there's no doubt that people will show up and cause trouble. but the toxic atmosphere has been created by pitting one group of people against another whether it's name calling mexicans or name calling muslims or t

to ohio, ohio, ohio. donald trump is feeling very confident about beating marco rubio down in his home state tomorrow night, but here in ohio if john kasich can pull off a victory here, that might put us right back in that muddle where john kasich stays in the race. ted cruz stays in the race. marco rubio has to drop out. however, as you said, if it is a clean sweep for donald trump, this becomes a candidate who is going to be very difficult to stop on the way to the nomination. >> thank you very much. donald trump obviously trying to make that happen, switching his entire schedule to be in ohio tonight instead of florida. phil mattingly is traveling in ohio. >> reporter: battleground ohio. >> if we win ohio, we'll have to take some pictures because you might be taking a picture with the next president of the united states. >> he may win ohio. it's right now a tie according to most of the polls. we're literally tied. he may win in ohio. who knows. he's the governor, but he has not done a good job. >> repo
