city and new york state specifically? >> well, look, i think new york city democrats are a cross section of the national democratic party looks like. it's obviously a much more black and brown electorate than wisconsin says. up state, what you'll see, craig, is trade. and his big -- sanders's big issue is trade obviously. and these towns up state have been wiped out by trade with china, trade with other countries, the manufacturing base has been depleted. there have been efforts over the years oth s over and over to tr rebuild some kind of manufacturing base for a high-tech or for bio tech, but it hasn't quite happened yet. so there's still a lot of anger and depression up there about that. >> it is going to be also very interesting as our vaughn hilliard pointed out at the top of the hour, we saw that protester who was greeting ted cruz there in the bronx. it's going to be interesting to see how the candidates, the campaigns on both sides, how they deal with retail politics in and around new york city over the next two w

is new york city. new york is an odd duck state with the way that this primary is set up. the most cost efficient way to go after delegates for both the cruz and kasich campaigns are to go to the worst republican districts. if you have a thousand republicans in one district, in the bronx or in brooklyn, in new york city, and you have 100,000 in upstate new york, you're going to get the same three delegates, so it's cheaper to go after the worst districts. kasich is playing to new york city, i think he'll do well in manhattan and the suburbs. cruz is too, he opened up in the bronx because it makes smart tactical thanks. >> thanks for joining us. betsy woodruff, stay with us, we'll be speaking to you later in this hour. >>> next, hillary clinton with a huge fundraising lead over bernie sanders in new york. but will that extra money help her? stay with us. ♪jake reese, "day to feel alive"♪ ♪jake reese, "day to feel alive"♪ ♪jake reese, "day to feel alive"♪ burning of diabetic nerve pain, these
