bill clinton -- excuse me, hillary clinton and donald trump know the new york culture we are talking about, which i still think exists. i know your point from earlier, but still, that will matter a lot. we saw the shortfalls. i am not really getting at with sanders in the daily news interview and made all of those, what i would say, in temperate remarks. he was saying, the daily news, it is just a dumb tabloid. if you had been around new york -- and maybe they are getting older and not getting out to the bronx as much as they used to, but they want to make an impact, and they know their stuff. john podhoretz: can i make a contrary argument? the daily news was a disaster for sanders if you assume the sanders voter cares about issues. this is the reverse mere image of trump. they are not groaning on issues, they are voting on one thing or two things, feelings screwed, pitchforking the banks. they say he does not know anything, just blabbing about nothing, and yet, here sanders is having won six straight, one of primary in wisconsin. mark: in the culture of the new york media, maybe for

the clinton campaign saying that senator sanders has reached a new low by saying that secretary clinton is not qualified to be president. i will play the interview with "morning joe." that's what senator sanders says he is responding to. a lot of moving parts here. we have a representative from sanders' campaign on the way to the studio. >>> meantime, washington bureau chief for mother jones and political analyst david korn is with us and national correspondent and msnbc political analyst joan walsh, who has endorsed hillary clinton, is with us. david, i'll start with you here. sometimes you have to go back in time. we don't like to do that in news, feeding frenzy. but hillary clinton was on with joe scar borrow borough and was about this interview how bernie sanders could not explain how he wanted to break up the banks. this turned into what we're seeing now, senator sanders accusing her of not being qualified to be president. so far, no one can provide any tape of hillary clinton saying that about him. it sounds like back and forth, you hit me first. >> yeah. >> nevertheless it looks

you are on the hillary clinton beat. we saw the clinton campaign seems -- they seem to see an advantage in this, they were trying to raise money off of sanders comments overnight. if hillary clinton address it is today any idea where she's going to go on this? >> i've been told by a campaign official and i think we are going to hear secretary clinton her campaign stress three points, one, you were just discussing with kasie the fact that she never said that senator sanders was unqualified. he is essentially putting words in her mouth and, in fact, she was very careful to sidestep that question. number two and i think this gets more damaging for senator sanders, she's going to make the point, hey, you could make this argument about president obama and john kerry if that's your status for who was qualified, particularly when you're talking about trade deals, accepting money when you're running for president. and this gives her yet another opening to embrace president obama and to sort of cast senator sanders aside and say,

the clintons' business partners? >> what the press was pushing for at the time, and i was a part of it, was to see the clintons' whitewater documents, but hillary clinton was very much of the camp, no. we don't give in to our political enemies. this is being driven by our political enemies. and as a result, the perception they were hiding something began to take root. >> i happened to be at a conference where hillary was speaking in 1994. i followed her into the ladies' room, and she knew me, and she let down her hair. and she said, i don't know what to do anymore. everything i do turns bad. >> in early 1994, the clinton white house agrees to the appointment of an independent counsel to investigate the matter, and that was a fateful moment in the history of the clinton presidency. >> her legal friends tried to persuade her to, you know, be more friendly. be forthcoming with information. talk to the members of the press. you can trust. no. so it was hillary's penchant for secrecy about bill clinton's background, about

clinton foundation that's what the clintons do. that's how they roll is that wrong. >> yes, i do think you are wrong. the lincoln bedroom thing for sure. i you this are wrong so far as we really have to get into the weeds here and pierce has written excessively about the clinton world and clinton cash. there is no evidence of a quid pro quo here. i'm not at all going to say there isn't a murkiness there, certainly is this is one of the things that drives her problem with the honest and trustworthiness ratings and also for donald trump as well it doesn't benefit any hillary supporter to say she is squeaky clean. she is not. but there is an evidence. >> well, there is evidence, the "new york times" reported bill clinton gets a half a million dollars from the russians and then the state department gives them all iranian -- uranium that they need. >> we cannot prove this is why that happened. peter swizzer, we cannot prove this is why that happened. >> that's where the quid pro quo is i scratch your back you scratch -- that's how it wo

hillary clinton is the presumptive democratic nominee. and this is clinton winning over trump. and clinton doing well for the women's vote. then we go on to look at her support among blacks which has always been strong. black voters getting out the vote in kentucky as well. so hillary wins four out of five states. once again many established democrats are asking for sanders to step down. he's mathematically out of it. but he vows he will stay in the race anyway. >> and hillary is focusing more on donald trump and lesson sanders. heather? >> i will take it. rhode island was the only open primary where if you are a member of the other party, you can vote of. >> also apparently helped trump, too in rhode island. donald trump calling himself the presumptive winner. for the republican nominee. >>> what they said about each other next as our coverage continues. always or. but with the rate of change increasing, there's simply( no time for or. businesses today need the agility to do one thing...&...another. and only at&t has the network, people, and partners to help companies sense an

bill clinton -- excuse me, hillary clinton and donald trump know the new york culture we are talking about, which i still think exists. i know your point from earlier, but it is still a little early there. they had a plan and they went through it -- will matter a lot. we saw the shortfalls. i am not really getting at with sanders in the daily news interview and made all of those, what i would say, intemperate remarks. he was saying, the daily news, it is just a dumb tabloid. he made it to arthur brown. if you had been around new york , guys like that are kind of legend and the are getting older and not getting out to the bronx as much as they used to, but factors in the want to make an impact and they do. they know their stuff. john podhoretz: can i make a contrary argument? interview was a disaster for sanders if you assume the sanders voter cares about issues. this is the reverse mirror image of trump. they are not groaning on issues, they are voting on one thing or two things, feelings screwed, pitchforking the banks. we read december think this guy can't possibly be president. he

that is what is driving a lot of concern along the clinton -- among the clinton campaign. mark: kasie mentioned -- secretary clinton has done some tv interviews but has he done in -- adhered to the new york tradition of the traveling press since this started. abby: this morning she took the subway and before that she took some questions. she did focus a little bit more on her new york media. some folks that she is pretty familiar with after two senate runs. i think he is making a concerted effort. she talked a little bit about paying more attention to her traveling press. i think us in the traveling press would love to see more of that. she does talk to the media in general, her traveling national media less than bernie does. but i think that her campaign is focused on lake -- local and state media. which is smart. john: abby phillip, kasie hunt thank you for coming on. we have the real treatment in -- royal treatment in kansas city today. our conversation with the emperor of the planes, meier slide james. -- mayor sly james. you can listen to us on bloomberg 99.1 fm. ♪

the clintons let black america down on prison reform, bill clinton went to the naacp to apologize about summing he did a crime bills. -- something he did on crime bills. more blackointed judges, so it is good news, bad news story. on the other hand, i don't like it, i don't like it when black voters are taken for granted or ignored by the other party. she learned the last time around when you expect a coronation and find yourselves in an election in the dog fight this time around. john: mark: she says president obama will be more aggressive speaking on her behalf. how big a factor to think he can be in the general election, where his approval rating is, and the has become this? tavis smiley: i don't know what his impact will be outside of the african-american community, because the numbers are what they are. the numbers are getting better. with the african-american vote, it is not an automatic conclusion that one can draw on just because a black person says, vote for this person, they will all do that. it is a huge difference obviously, but you already know this. there is a huge differe

clinton. there's no question about that. areas that she could learn from the sanders' campaign is on technology. i mean -- they appeal for people being volunteers by using email. the sanders people text people. they're using every new technology go sdwhg cliing and n people aren't there. >> how do you get a young person and they're energetic. it's so good they're involved in the process, no matter what side of the aisle you're on. how do you get them to vote for it big bad hillary who won't release her speeches, etc., etc., etc. and the big super pack. >> if it is donald trump versus hillary clinton, i don't think it's going to be a huge problem. >> i think if it is any of the current republican contenders, it's not going to be a problem. the problem is channelling that ener energy. but i think she's counting on the themes of the general election. the messages are totally different and yes, donald trump could pivot, ted cruz could pivot. but we have a lot of talk from donald trump about antimu

but is this fight for clinton -- is a slight good for clinton or senders? john: in some ways it's better for clinton than sanders. mark: we are in the disagreement zone. john: it is the case that he went further than was merited. he got a little misled by that headline on the washington post. she did not go as far as to suggest that he was disqualified. by implication, she suggested there were questions about his qualifications and begged the answers. but you did not say that he was unqualified. omething you have to do if you are running a primary. you can't say something on camera that the other side can add against your arrival if you become the nominee. the things bernie sanders said last night are things any republican can use against hillary clinton. he went too far given the level of provocation. mark: score that way, yeah. this is to win the nomination fight. bernie sanders is behind. he needs to inspired his supporters, who are pretty easily inspired by him. and he needs to create a different mimic in the race. he is as close to criticizing as her.

hillary clinton wins that state, another big win for hillary clinton. maryland, 88% of the vote is in. she has 63.2%. that's an impressive majority. 32.9% for bernie sanders. it just went up to 63.2%. 88% of the vote is in maryland. hillary clinton wins there. bernie sanders, sole win of the night in rhode island. he does get 55% of the vote in rhode island. 99% of the vote is in. hillary clinton, only 43.3%. he is up by more than 14,000 in rhode island. four wins for hillary clinton, one for bernie sanders on the democratic side. five impressive wins for donald trump. it is obviously very significant. almost all of those donald trump wins by around 60% of the vote. you have got some new news on bernie sanders. >> that's right. we have been trying to figure out what the direction is for the sanders campaign going forward in his campaign just issued a statement. let's bring in jeff zel eny to help us. >> the sanders campaign is going forward until the end of the primary season in june, june 7th in california. it is a different type of campaign than we ha

you follow the clinton campaign. is the clinton campaign becoming irritated by the sort of reticence not only of sanders supporters like danny glover but the sanders campaign itself to say it would sign on with her if he doesn't win? >> yeah. there has been a lot of eye-rolling in brooklyn and a little bit of hair pulling as well with the way the sanders campaign has been talking about hillary clinton recently. it's been going on for awhile but as the delegate lead stacks up, especially after new york, they keep waiting for as they view it, the sanders people to come to their senses and kind of get behind the nominee or the likely nominee, hillary clinton, and that so far just hasn't happened. you are starting to hear her surrogates say he's aiding and abetting donald trump or ted cruz in helping win the republican nomination. they are saying that he's damaging hillary clinton. i haven't seen a lot of evidence to support that quite yet. but the further we go on, the more he keeps doing this, it definitely becomes a p

look at clinton and sanders. cloppen berg was the democrat running. 92% voted for cloppenberg. 4% skipped the race all together. and thsanders voters. 79% for: enberg, 12% skipping the ballot. what does that say to you, scott ross? >> one thing is that it -- we have heard a lot about talk radio in wisconsin pushing out the stop trump effort. and talk radio in wisconsin, before stop trump ever started, they were about stopping voting. and so the consistent theme there is voter fraud in the state of wisconsin has been the talking point of talk radio in wisconsin for the last dozen years. the fact is, under oath, the wisconsin department of justice, the republican-controlled wisconsin department of justice could not prove one instance of in-person voter fraud in the entire state of wisconsin, and we're talking about 17 million ballots cast between 2004 and 2014. there is no voter fraud in the state of wisconsin. and i think mean that said it personal. the only thing going on are partisan politicians rigging the laws

now let's look at hillary clinton. look at that excitement number at the top. 14%, that is part of the enthusiasm gap we've been talking about on the democratic side. only 14% of wisconsin democratic primary voters would be excited, 54% optimistic, 23% concerned, 7% scared. again, this is a bit of a warning sign for hillary clinton here, just not as much out and out excitement, enthusiasm for her as for bernie sanders. >> no question, david chalian. no question, dana, that hillary clinton has been battling this idea of voter excitement. 14% of democratic voters excited about her being president, 33% for bernie. but the word scared is one you seldom hear when it comes to somebody in a party talking about a possible nominee from their own party becoming president. and the idea that 58% of republican voters in wisconsin are either concerned or scared and 38% are scared about trump as president, these are republicans. they're stunning numbers. >> it is stunning. let's just marry the two concepts. you have republicans who a

bernie sanders taking on bill clinton and hillary clinton calling drug dealers back in the '90s super predators. >> what are your thoughts about what he says, senator sanders? >> unacceptable. i think we all know what that term meant. in the context that it was said years ago. we know who they were talking about. >> black people. >> that's exactly right. that's who it was. >> bill clinton defends his out burst over the 1994 crime bill. >> i still think what i said was right. but i wish i had first said in the hope of being heard by her, you're right about this prison thing, we've got to do something about it. >> and snl swipe. the politics ahead of the new york primary. >> the new york city subway is the best way to get around. it's been a while. is this working? is this, i'll just go in the old fashioned way. i'll take the cab. cab is the best way to get around. >> good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. donald trump crying foul to undermine ted cruz's overwhelming success in corralling the delegates at state party conventions. can trump turn republicans against the pa

clinton is looking to end sanders' momentum fast. meanwhile, sanders rallied supporters on a coney island boardwalk and touted his victory in wyoming last night. they are just four days away now from a showdown in brooklyn where cnn will host thursday's event. in nine days when voters head to the polls, who is going to win more votes? >> that is why i need your help on april 26th, here in baltimore and across maryland. >> i hope very much that here in new york state you're going to help lead this country towards the political revolution. >> sanders and clinton still have one big opportunity to sway them. cnn is hosting a democratic debate in brooklyn this thursday. and one of the people tasked with asking them the tough questions joins me now. he is errol lewis, political anchor at new york one news. thanks for coming back on. obviously you had a big day on thursday. you're going to be sharing that day with bill clinthillary clin bernie sanders. >> like any journalist, i hope that we're going to be able to advance the conversation. a

she was joined by husband bill clinton. she said, look, i can't answer your questions but she did give some brief remarks about voting in chappaqua. just the new york primary. take a listen. >> i am so excited about both campaigning here in new york, voting here in new york and i love new york. and this has been a joy during the last two weeks to be here all over the state. and i hope everybody gets out to vote. i had a great time going around the city in the last couple of days, just seeing a lot of old friends, meeting new people, and i just urge everybody, please come out and vote until 9:00 p.m. today. >> jose, secretary clinton looking very strong heading into today. all polls show her leading by double digits. if she wins by double digits, she could almost put this race mathematically out of reach for senator sanders. she would get a 25-point delegate net gain. that would be significant. and what we're seeing behind the scenes, senator sanders, secretary clinton, the rhetoric really heating up. yesterday we saw the sa

if it's hillary clinton versus donald trump, i talked to people the clinton campaign yesterday and they were telling me maybe we would think of arizona,eriously in maybe we'd think about georgia. the map could look different. see republicans break clinton and some sanders supporters go for trump. it's an unusual year. it could get more unusual. john: let me ask you about that to get behind donald trump because after his was actories, there little bit of acceptance happening within the republican party moving behind donald trump. tell us a little bit about that. jennifer: you did see some members of congress endorse him week. he got three new members of sessions,o join jeff his only u.s. senator. but he also got a governor, he mike pence of indiana. indiana is a make-or-break state coming up next week. then -- john: make-or-break state for the stop trump movement. jennifer: exactly and for ted well, as he wants to really continue on but then you fromthe anti-endorsement former speaker john boehner from neighboring ohio. ton: who compared him lucifer. >> if that's not the -- that was weak

on foreign policy hillary clinton is vulnerable. i think when we get into libya, not even having to rehash the issues of benghazi and all the rest of it, people will see that hillary can't point to a single maj major accomplishment. they speak about these things differently. i'm a cruz supporter. i think cruz does speak and it resonates with people. the radicalization that's occurring in this country and europe and represents a real threat. there's a lot of room to run with the foreign policy discussion. hillary will have a tougher time. >> other people would say hillary has experience, ted cruz first term senator doesn't have experience in foreign policy. and that could be a knock against him. when you look at the ads, the way that clinton is talking about her opponents. it seems like she's looking toward the general election as a presumptivenominee. you support bernie sanders who has vowed to fight through the convention. at what point would you rally around clinton? >> well, i think that's strategic on her part. she's trying to s

neither did hillary clinton. the two front-runner candidates decided to skip last night and focus on new york. >> we want to highlight he didn't win. he calls other peoplers losers, first place is first place. >> what does he do when he doesn't win, he suggests there's illegalities and funny business going on. that is worrisome when you think about the summer. it makes me wonder how this party would be united in the summer and fall. >> we looked at how wisconsin is different, maybe more like nebraska and iowa and different than the states in the northeast. but cruz last night spoke about his delegate momentum. let's listen to what ted cruz sai said. >> four very different states. utah, colorado, north dakota, wisconsin. four victories. in the last two weeks. and in the coming days when colorado and wyoming finish voting, we are likely to have gained over 100 delegates on donald trump. as a result of the people of wisconsin defying the media, defying the pundits, i'm more and more convinced that our campaign is go

hillary clinton. this debate comes after a heated 24 hours for both hillary clinton and bernie sanders. joe johns is outfront with more. >> reporter: tonight, the battle lines are drawn. >> you elect me president. you're going to have a president who is prepared to take on the billionaire class, not take their money. >> reporter: sanders speaking today to reverend al sharpton's national action network, the same group clinton addressed a day earlier, appealing to african-american voters in new york. >> we are going to invest in education and jobs for our kids, not jails and incarceration. >> reporter: sanders also holding a rally with thousands of supporters last night in lower manhattan. when i look at an unbelievable crowd like this, i believe we're going to win here in new york next thursday. >> reporter: but he wound up having to do some clean up after one of his supporters made this comment on stage. >> medicare for all will never happen if we continue to elect corporate democratic whores who are

likewise with hillary clinton. this in your mind, dylan, really changes a lot. >> yeah, it changes a lot. i think we can pretty confidently say who the nominees in each party are going to be. the reasons again being for hillary clinton, she's practically there. for donald trump, no matter what, i mean, barring some sort of huge major change, she's going to get to the convention with at least the majority of votes on the republican side f not the full 1237 delegates. as we've seen from our exit polls, the majority, a large majority of republican voters believe the candidate who has the most delegates should be the nominee. it's going to be very hard for the republican establishment to come back and tell all those voters that their voice doesn't matter. the individual i'm most thinking about right now is bernie sanders. having acknowledged that he's effectively going to be pushing his agenda as opposed to his shot at the nomination now. the question i think the sanders campaign is asking themselves is this. how much

and hillary clinton feel that he focuses on bill clinton's record and then jumps to president obama's record and doesn't talk about president george w. bush who they believe is responsible for much of the economic crash and just skips over this long period and is just pulling out the worst things about bill clinton's record. the thing that drove them particularly crazy about the crime bill is that bernie sanders voted for that bill. >> yeah, you're seeing a lot of the frustration play out here because bill clinton wanted to go after bernie much earlier in this race than the clinton campaign has actually done. so you're seeing that element of it. but you're also seeing that sort of bill clinton from 2008 come out again, the one who sort of wagged his finger at barack obama and that backfired pretty dramatically. i'm not sure if this will particularly, but clearly -- >> that's the imminent reaction. i mean, she has acknowledged that this overshot the mark. he has acknowledged it may have overshot the mark. i mean, at a certain point, like, you need to be able to embrace that and say we

secretary clinton? is true now that the spotlight is pretty bright here in new york, some things have been said and senator sanders did call me unqualified. i've been called a lot of things in my life. that was a first. that -- he had to question my judgment. well, the people of new york voted for me twice to be their senator from new york and -- [applause] and president obama trusted my judgment enough to ask me to be secretary of state for the united states. so, look, we have disagreements on policy. there's no doubt about it. but if you go and read, which i hope all of you will before tuesday, senator sanders long interview with the "new york daily news," talk about judgment and talk about the kinds of problems he had answering questions about even his core issue, breaking up the banks. when asked, he could not explain how that would be done. and when asked -- when asked about a number of foreign-policy issues, it could not answer about afghanistan, about israel, about counterterrorism, except to say

against clinton. we will talk with democratic party chair debbie wasserman schultz about the state of the race. >>> plus, what do you think? is the prolonged campaign on the democratic side hurting that party? let me mow on facebook or twitter @foxnewssunday and use the #fns. chair debbie wasserman schultz on the fighting in the republican party. and what it means for the general election. >> the republicans are still a civil war. they aren't talking about substantive issues, they're mired in chaos. >> we will ask the congresswoman about the chaos in her party next. >>> a look outside the beltway at philadelphia, site of this year's democratic convention. front runner hillary clinton took a big step this week toward locking up the democratic nomination with her sweeping victory in the new york primary. but bernie sanders shows no signs of conceding and continues to run hard against her. joining us now from florida the chair of the democratic national committee, debbie wasserman schultz. congresswoman,

he hit bill clinton on nafta. he said, hillary clinton is funded by wall street. he also said she is paid off through campaign contributions. >> let's play some of what hillary clinton said in response to earlier comments about donald trump about her playing the women's card. >> the other day, mr. trump accused me of playing the, quote, woman card. if fighting for women's health care and paid family leave and equal play is playing the woman card, then deal me in. >> yet, he repeated again tonight, it was clearly something he would use going forward. >> p if it is inevitable. can you imagine the next several months if these are the two candidates. >> each is getting the opponent they desire. they seem to relish the opportunity to square off against one another. i am wonderle down ballot. today in pennsylvania, katy mcginty won the democratic nomination. she will be running against pat toomey. he made it known he voted for ted cruz. donald trump says he is now getting calls from individuals that want to climb aboard. i am wondering how many members of congress and t

[ crowd chanting "bernie" ] >> secretary clinton. >> thank you. i am very grateful for the fact that the people of new york gave me the great honor of serving as your senator. you took a chance on me in 2000, and then you real elected me with one of the biggest margins we've had in our state in 2006. during those years we worked closely together. i tried to have your back and time and time again you had mine. we took on the challenges of 9/11 together, we got the money to rebuild new york, we came to the aid of our brave first responders, construction workers and others who endangered their own health by helping to save lives and search for survivors. we worked to create jobs despite the disastrous policies of george w. bush across new york, and we stood up time and time again against all kinds of vested powerful interests. i'm asking for your support again in the primary on tuesday to continue that work together, to take what we did in new york and to take those new york values to the white house and put them to work on behalf of a

this weekend sanders supporters showered clinton's motorcade with dollar bills, angering many clinton supporters. meanwhile, donald trump is test driving a new nickname for hillary clinton, "crooked hillary." earlier today sanders was pressed if he and the republican front-runner are essentially making the same argument. >> donald trump is very brilliant coming up with statement, it's an ugly statement. what i have said regarding secretary clinton is we have a corrupt campaign finance system in which billionaires -- >> you've gone further. you have said that she accepts this money from wall street, from big banks, from fossil fuels, and that affects her judgment. >> well, of course it does. why do you think -- >> would that be crooked? >> in that case the entire united states government is crooked. we have a corrupt system. i'm very proud that we are doing it differently. >> sanders won't explicitly call clinton crooked, he argues the whole system is corrupt and if hillary clinton is part of that system, the logic sus seem difficult to avoid. now the sanders campaign is accusing the c

yes, hillary clinton won. a good victory for her yesterday, but there are a lot of elections to go, a lot of votes to go. politics is a strange thing. lots of different things can happen. the people, the most important thing, i would say is that the activists, the people i talked to yesterday, my facebook and twitter feeds are energized to keep pushing bernie's message forward about the political revolution. we're going to make the argument for bernie. i think he will be the nominee. >> so, you know, i don't know how the math adds up, but i know that bernie and also jeff weaver, his campaign manager, say they're going to the convention and would agree with you. hilary rosen, how would you respond to what you just heard here from the hillary clinton perspective? >> well, look, i don't think any candidate wants to be told that even if there's a 1 in a million chance, that there's no chance, so i'll let -- >> what you're telling him here? >> let his team go on and tell us how they're going to win 85% of the next

>> it is a big number for hillary clinton. more than one million is actually more than voted in the republican primary in new york. and of course, ted cruz. hillary clinton spoke about the need to unify the party. sending out to a message to supporters of bernie sanders, there is much more that unites them then separates them. if hillary clinton is on a mission to unique the democratic party, where are voters that are really not as of now, buying what she is selling? >> we have seen throughout the campaign, that bernie sanders as well as the -- look at the new york democrats from the exit polls today, 18 to 29-year-olds, went to bernie sandered. look at the member liberal wing of the party. look at that number, again, sanders, wins that as well, 56% of the vote. hillary clinton 44% of the vote. wall street, a big issue for bernie sanders. bernie sand erds wins that eight percentage points, the last number solidifies the problem that hillary clinton is having with liberal voters and younger voters, two keys that shy will have t

sanders keeps up the attacks against clinton. we'll talk with democratic party chair debbie wasser man schultz about the state of the race. is the prolonged campaign on the democratic side hurting the party? let me know on facebook or twitter,@foxnews sunday and use the hashtag # fns. p?p?h >>> a look outside the beltway at philadelphia, site of this year's democratic convention. front-runner hillary clinton took a big step toward locking up the nomination with a sweeping victory in the new york primary. bernie sanders shows no signs of conceding and continues to run hard against her. joining us from florida the chair of the democratic national committee debbie wasserman schultz. congresswoman, given that hillary clinton seems to have a pretty clear path to the nomination now does bernie sanders need to tone down attacks and bring the party together? >> well, i actually have been very proud throughout the campaign of both candidates. you have seen in every one of the debates and then also in discussions on the campaign trail the

we started with hillary clinton, the front runner. hillary clinton is now up by how many votes? 204? 2.4 million. >> that is a meaningless number. >> but she's winning. she's winning by every metric. >> i've got to go. >> this is the phrase. >> nobody has time for anything else. thank you, everyone. thank you bakari, bill press amanda, margaret hoover. everyone. you can watch hillary clinton and bernie sanders together on stage tonight from the cnn democratic presidential debate moderated by wolf blitzer, only on cnn. >>> the east river's cold right now, but it is beautiful. welcome back, everyone. now, let's go inside the hall. there we go. that's where hillary clinton and bernie sanders are going to be debating tonight. we're back in brooklyn. in just hours, that debate will start. we're going to turn to politics just shortly. first, we have some devastating news. today marks two years since gunmen captured hundreds of girls. we're getting an indication some of the girls may still be alive. cnn has obtained this new video. it is being used in negotiations between boko haram an

i've known hillary clinton for 25 years. i respect hillary clinton. we were colleagues in the senate, and on her worst day, she would be an in iffi infinit better president than either of the republican candidates. >> she's qualified. >> of course. >>> and keeping the heat on ted cruz over those controversial remarks on new york values. this time it's john kasich hitting cruz with a new ad. >> ted cruz sneered at our new york values. >> i think most people know exactly what new york values are. >> all right, to our political team, as the 2016 race is covers from all angles today, i want to bring in jacob rascon. jacob, paul manafort is now the new man at the top. what else can you tell us about his new, consolidated role in the trump campaign. >> reporter: thomas, this is undoubtedly a new phase of the campaign. you have this very small, very fight and unconventional campaign expanding, coming off the heels, of course, of that big wisconsin loss. paul manafort hired just over a week ago as the new manager. mr. trump in the release says he's taking on

many who have committed to hillary clinton. as clinton's campaign attack fair? >> reporter: as the battle for new york intensified bernie sanders campaign is hoping to close the gap. >> it looks to me like syracuse is ready for a political revolution. >> reporter: today the clinton campaign tourng a new tactic accusing sanders of trying make up ground by flipping super delegates. >> if anybody is trying rig the system to overturn the will of the people it's senator saernsd. >> reporter: both candidates laying a home state claim on the big apple. enthusiasm is key. >> leapt us have the largest turn out in democratic primary history here in new york state. thank you all. >> reporter: sanders is holding three large rallies today while clinton held a roundtable on equal pay for women. >> if talking about equal pay and paid leave and more opportunities for women and girls is playing the gender card then deal me in because these are -- >> reporter: gender and politics on the mine of president obama today though he did not mention clinton by name at the dedication of a

the clinton campaign says that it is. they've been questioning the sanders campaign has been the legality of it. it does appear it is legal, if sort of par for the course in this era of big money and politics that many find unsav unsavory. the clinton campaign thinks sanders is leading astray younger liberals to believe the democratic party is corrupt. you're seeing this fear. you've heard donald trump, sort of unveiled the nickname for hillary clinton, crooked hillary, you're seeing a fear coming from the clinton campaign that that is something that with bernie sanders leveling this argument could take hold in the primary, and this is something they'd fight in an expected matchup with donald trump. >> bernie sanders, who grew up in brooklyn, campaigned heavily across the city and the state, looking ahead. he'll be holding a rally on the campus of penn state university, which is where we find jeff zele zeleny. more delegates at stake in new york than any other contest. what does the sanders campaign hope to prove? >> repo

thing about secretary clinton, secretary clinton, huge win. huge win. >> absolutely. >> and puts her in a position that was said before, she's got to find even more -- being more magnanimous. she's punched back some. i think at this point, those young people out there, it is hard to uncurdle milk if you sour these young people on the whole process, you hurt not just the party, the country. this is a first time a lot of these young people have gotten involved in anything. you said you want free stuff, as some of her surrogates have done, that's not right. nobody says the pentagon just wants free drones or nasa just wants free space shuttles. everybody pays taxes, people have a right to say where they want the taxes to go. she has to get her surrogates to really reach out to them and bring them in. >> bernie's campaign has really crossed a line. >> and the guy apologized within minutes and bernie apologized as he was. >> he was talking about congressional democrats. which he was not, i read the context. >> listen, you and i both know you cannot

i think hillary clinton wins this, you can't beat hillary clinton again unless you're hillary clinton. she has such deep connections to the party's institutional history with various constituent actors. very young, ambitious democratic politician asking what model that you can replicate, bernie sanders who you say not part of the party for long time, entirely the message that i thinks one that the rising class of young voters the trouble is going to have a tremendous -- the african american voters. constituent see that is liberal. large number of conservatives and modern voters who do not vote republicans. when you look at younger voters has done well with young voters of color, look at that constituency those folks have not been voting in large numbers. when we see other voters of color coming into the process later on they will be more inclined like hillary clinton who is talking about the particular challenges facing voters of color. this is going to be very interesting. something that is distinct to democratic politics. >> you think that the candidate who says, we don't have to ma

we continue to follow hillary clinton in new york and bernie sanders. sanders continues his attack, saying she was unqualified to be president. >> let me be clear. this is not the type of politics that i want to get in. i know it's what the media loves. it's not the type of politics i want to get in. but, let me be clear. if secretary clinton thinks i just came from the small state of vermont, she's mistaken. we will fight back. i do hope we can raise the level and i hope now and then the media will choose to talk about real issues. >> just a short time ago, in an unscheduled stop in the bronx, hillary clinton responded. >> it's kind of a silly thing to say, but i'm going to trust the voters of new york, who know me, and have voted for me three times -- twice for senate, once in the presidential primary. look, i didn't -- i don't know why he is saying that, but i will take bernie sanders over donald trump or ted cruz any time. so, let's keep our eye on what's really at stake in this election. we have republicans whose values are so antithetical to what'

he is with the clinton campaign. go ahead, david. >> i was going to say jonathan is right in the sense this is a strategic assault. her campaign is sending out an e-mail fundraiser based on the premise that hillary clinton is saying he's not qualified. >> i would say based on the lie, david, right? it's not a premise. >> you call it -- you call it whatever you like. this is now their -- i think, this gets to the point about whether at the end of this there will be a way to patch things up. politicians are very good at pivoting and forgetting what they said 48 hours ago if it's not convenient, but i keep going back to this point bernie sanders -- i don't say this as criticism. he has no institutional loyalty to the democratic party. he got to where he was and where he is in vermont by running against democrats. so this is a very big dlelympha for the democratic party if he gets the nomination. >> bernie sanders has supported every democratic candidate for president. he said he would support hillary clinton if she got

and i remember the exact same position in 2008 versus hillary clinton and hillary clinton is now in. bernie sanders, you know you've basically won. your opponent refuses to get out of the race. is continuing to put pressure on you, and ultimately hillary clinton is looking down the road at donald trump or ted cruz and wants to start focussing on the general and still has to compete with bernie sanders. it's clear that people are tired. they're stressed. they're getting irritated with each other. this happens in campaigns. the question will be, how are they able to put it back together at the end of the race, and can bernie sanders endorse hillary clinton? is she able to make a solid intrigue to his supporters because that will be necessary to winning in november. >> we'll talk about that later. ari, i thought this was very interesting. this open letter that you penned to donald trump. five things you say he should do. stop fighting with everybody and don't be so nasty. get your facts right. number three is learn more policy. four, make policy announcements. and five, stop citing poll

can trump and clinton run the table? does the so-called pennsylvania loophole make or break donald trump? and whatever happened to that kasich/cruz pact? "the lead" starts right now. good afternoon, welcome to a special edition of "the lead." i'm jake tapper, super tuesday number four. if those are counting at home. could be the most decisive day so far in the 2016 election. awaiting first exit poll results. voters in five states, connecticut, delaware, maryland, pennsylvania and rhode island, are all going to the polls today. at stake, for the republicans, 172 delegates. for democrats, 384 delegates. for donald trump, leading in all five states in most polls, a sweep would move him closer to locking down delegates needed to clinch the republican nomination and send a big message to ted cruz and john kasich. much more in my guest with trump campaign manager, corey lewandowski. a sweep for hillary could put hillary clinton get her within 90% of the 2383 delegates needed for the democratic nomination and all but close out

>> hillary clinton. we can't let it happen. >> and donald trump unveils hillary clinton's new nickname. >>> plus, the democrats have a major problem -- >> could you support hillary clinton if she won the nomination? >> absolutely not. bernie or bust. >> i want to be mean. the devil. >> bernie sanders supporters cannot stand hillary clinton. "hannity" starts right here right now. >>> welcome to "hannity." while the new york voters head to the polls tomorrow and according to the real clear politics average, donald trump holds a sizable lead in the empire state, he's in first place with 53.1% of the vote. governor kasich is in second with 22.8%. senator ted cruz in third with 18.1%. now donald trump held a rally earlier this evening in buffalo, new york. take a look. >> we are going to bring buffalo back. we're going to bring new york back. and we're going to bring the united states of america back. and we love this state and we love new york values. do we agree? we love new york values. do not get discoura

but clinton, the clinton campaign and hillary clinton herself believe that this is the delegate fight now. it's about racking up enough delegates to get to that point in philadelphia where you become the party nominee. she thinks and her aides think that with a number of big states coming up -- pennsylvania, california in june and new york where i am today, she has the upper hand and that by california hillary clinton will have enough delegates, this is what her campaign aides are saying, will have enough delegates to secure the nomination. >> okay. let's turn now to the sanders camp. sara ganim, you're there with him right now. what's the atmosphere like? >> reporter: you know, the atmosphere all day has been incredibly energized. bernie sanders acting like he's back at home in this continuous battle between himself and hillary clinton over who is more of a new yorker. he's been in four different places across the city of new york today. crisscrossing back and forth in neighbors that are primarily minority neighborhoods. wrapping up in historic apollo theater, he's been talking about
