the new york tabloid press. how the candidates have to handle the toughest most in your face media market in america. we are going to get to all of that and a lot more in the next hour, but we begin this morning with the war of words that's exploding right now on the democratic side. the issue of what it means to be qualified to be president of the united states. now, where did this whole dispute come from? bernie sanders seemingly responding last night to comments that were made by hillary clinton on this network, on "morning joe" yesterday, when clinton was asked if sanders was ready to be president. >> so the question -- and i'm serious, if you weren't running today and you looked at bernie sanders would you say this guy is ready to be president of the united states? >> well, i think he hadn't done his homework and he had been talking for more than a year about doing things that he obviously hadn't really studied or understood, and that does raise a lot of questions. really what it goes to is for voters to as

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. >> secretary clinton implied she could wrap up the whole nomination today. >> i'm afraid she's going to be disappointed. >> for republicans, the question isn't whether or not trump wins, it's whether he wins big enough to take all of the state's 95 delegates. trump will be in new york tonight, but ted cruz and john kasich have already moved on. they're already in pennsylvania. one wonders if they should have been there last week. right now, they're in pittsburgh this afternoon. at least kasich was, and he kept his expectations for tonight extremely low. >> how are you hoping to do in new york tonight? >> well, we hope we get some delegates. we'll see. we really want to get a few delegates. i can't make a prediction, but we worked hard up there and hopefully we'll come out of there with some delegate momentum. >> for the stop trump folks, the name of the game tonight is to keep trump below 50% in at leas

those are new york values, the real new york values. and these are the values we need to make america great again, folks. these are the values. we have the people. we have great, great people in this state. we have people that are admired all over the world for their energy, for their intelligence, for everything, and we're going to bring this state back but we're going to bring this country back because everybody, i think, we put our country even above our state. do we agree with that? i think we put our country even above our state. [applause] >> when i watch the ted cruzzes of the world mocking our values, i don't like it, i don't like it. don't even look. when you hear the little weak voices back there, nobody hears them. the only time we hear them is when -- ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, so important, so important, they just disappeared. you know it's like -- unbelievable. amazing. you know my rallies are the safest places to be on earth, and nobody wants to report that. the dishonest media will never report that, and

i think bernie's the most new york, because new york's keep it real. >> reporter: a new york primary a make or break event in body parties. >> wide receive're in the botto ninth? >> i'm feeling good, i am. >> reporter: bernie sanders sat down with spike lee for "the hol would the reporter." >> we're coming to new york city. >> oh-oh, how do we do in new york? >> i think we're going to win new york. it's going to be a tough fight. >> you're from brooklyn, you're not scared? >> oh, no. >> reporter: polls and conventional wisdom suggest he should be. but this is not the year for polls. >> build that wall! >> reporter: or for conventional wisdom. >> on a number of important areas he doesn't have a plan at all. >> delegate-wise, hillary clinton may be able to lose new york. but psychologically, it is absolutely a must-win. >> reporter: new york has been hillary clinton's adopted home for two decades. ever since she first traded that cubs hat for a yankees one. it was one of her earliest flip-flops. called out by katie core oak "today." >> i've always been a yankees fan. >> i thought you w

he will be back in new york. he will continue to hold rallies in new york. that's something he talked about publicly of coming to new york to compete. the strategy in this state is not to compete necessarily for a win. that just seems totally out of reach at this point. it's to be able to peel delegates off in places like upstate new york and western new york where there aren't many republicans and the campaign feels they can put in a get out the vote effort to turn out the smaller number of republicans. remember, not to get in the weeds, but because each congressional district will give three delegates, each district sort of is valued differently. in a place where there's fewer republicans. you can get more bang for your buck if you focus there. >> hallie jackson, thank you very much. good seeing you. in about 15 minutes from now, we're expecting what is billed as a pretty significant speech from john kasich. he's currently polling second in new york, and it appears his normally positive message may be shifting a bit. kelly o'donnell is watching the kasich

to say that donald is a new york i, and have -- new york guy, and have cruz and kasich yeget the hell out of there. mark: i think you'll get about 50 statewide, and he will get a lot of districts. you have to come into television interviews-- john: try and stay in the conversation. mark: i think they are making a mistake by trying to pick off delegates. the story in two weeks is going to be -- trump romp. john: it will be investing to see what the cruise campaign does. they are sophisticated about this kind of thing. it will be adjusting to see the next 72-96 hours, whether we see what ted cruz does and where he goes. whether they just fly-- mark: in terms of the narrative and delegate accumulation game, donald j. trump, billionaire. john: after ted cruz won in wisconsin, it's becoming increasingly likely to look at a contested republican convention come july in cleveland. particularlyz, not the most popular guys in washington dc as the grand old party braces for a tense week in the rock 'n roll city, summit and the establishment are looking for a way tonight. this morning -- for a wh

here in new york, voting here in new york and i love new york. >> this is a campaign on the move. >> no new yorker can vote for ted cruz. >> it's likely that you're not going to do that well in new york, okay. >> thanks for the vote of confidence. >> wouldn't it be interesting if ted cruz came in third? >> nominating donald trump hands the election to hillary clinton. >> we'll probably get some delegates. we got a lot of delegates over the weekend that i didn't even know about. >> hillary clinton along with her hundred dollsband, the form president, voted this morning in chap wpaqua chappaqua. new york is the biggest prize for the delegates. clinton told supporters a win today could wrap up the democratic nomination. our political team is spread out across new york as we begin our coverage this morning. peter alexander is at a polling location on the west side of manhattan. peter, let me start with you. what have you been able to confirm regarding trump campaign's shuffle and the new focus on november? >> we've been reporting over recent weeks the frustrations and infighting within t

leave new york. go concentrate. new york is april 19th. following tuesday april 26th, pennsylvania, maryland, five delegates, just go right there. john kasich, remember we started the process, kasich said i'm not going to win in iowa. i'm not even spending a minute in iowa. he went right to new hampshire and did very well in new hampshire. this is what ted cruz. >> cruz and kasich have a chance to keep trump below 50. >> do they? >> think about what happened. so donald trump on a tuesday loses wisconsin, some would say surprisingly badly loses wisconsin. new york contest. this is going to be bad for him. in a day they turned the news@h cycle. he took it back. he has got a big best page rally. lyin' ted and taking it back and, look, i think ted cruz made a big mistake by using the new york values to pander to iowa evangelicals to win iowa to do well in iowa. >> he won iowa. he had to win. >> he has got to pay the piper now. >> you don't think he can turn it around. how about you, river, do you think cruz can turn it perception around? >> i

a big win in new york. similar type of voters in these states would help donald trump. >> if he does well today, that would certainly help the polls there and ted cruz is actually in third place right now going into the race. and obviously, that could change as the republicans go out and vote. but he needs to emerge today and next week in relatively good shape to keep this going even if he's not able to mathematically himself on the ballot get to 1237. >> what ted cruz doesn't want to happen is lose so decisively in new york that it does affect him next week. people see a slowing of momentum in his only path that's a contested convention and we pretty much know that's the case. if you look at what he needs to win outright, he would need to win 89% of the remaining delegates. wolf, that's almost an impossibility. but ted cruz when we made that comment about new york values a couple of months ago, he was sending a message. new york voters were not necessarily the voters he was counting on. it's coming back to

it's a new york story. it's a national story. >> i understand. >> robert, what do you think about the fight? can he roll all the way to cleveland? >> he's going have a speed bump in indiana. that's a conservative state. it a state that looks friendly to cruz' politics. >> i think kasich is more likely to come in second tonight. pennsylvania for sure. probably in delaware. probably in rhode island. i don't see cruz doing well in any of the north eastern states. >> i agree with you. donald trump may not do as well here in new york. >> i agree with that. i think kasich can win. i think he can be number two in about ten of them. >> i agree. >> back to the 1237, we're looking at tactical voting by the republican party. kasich and cruz are not being viewed separately. they're package to deny -- >> you think voters are changing like that? >> i do. that will happen in pa p and in indiana and california. tactical voting in order to deny the 1237 on the first ballot because everyone tells me that unless trump closes

because new york history, 1898 to 1951. new york, new york civilization. new york, new york intellectual life, 20th century. greenwich village, intellectual life, 20th century. [laughter] it went back to 1898. i think in a way, 1950 ended a span that began during, around 1898. the spanish-american war. theodore roosevelt became president after mckinley's assassination. there was a mississippi -- a great civic culture out of which roosevelt emerged. theodore roosevelt obviously is a republican progressive and , then franklin roosevelt began as a cabinet member -- sub-cabinet member under woodrow wilson. i think it could just be called the longer age of roosevelt, if you wanted to embrace the man during that period. i used to always be photographed run the monuments devoted to fdr. this would take a very long time. >> one last short because we are just about done. what is the condition of the iter in the 1940's as opposed to the writer today? in alfred kazin's first autobiography he talks about supporting himself when writing his classic "on native ground."

york, these are new york values not hey iowa values. so the point you just made a second ago. last week i was in the bronx and meeting with some african-american pastors, including senator diaz, he brought up new york values, and he said, listen, i'm an elected democrat, and he brought up exactly what you said that cuomo said, my democratic governor, my party, told me if i'm pro life, if i believe in traditional marriage, if i believe in the second amendment, there's no place for me in new york. and those are the values we're fed up with, the values of liberal democrats who are at odds with liberal democrats in new york. >> i was born and raised in new york, i have a special place in my heart, we saw greatness out of the new york people, upstate help, long island, the entire country in fairness, rally around. there are so many good people here. but governing has been horrible in this state, especially in upstate new york in binghamton and other areas, they economically have been suffering for decades. >> right. >> how if you're elected

new york values. >> let's be clear the people of new york know exactly what those values are. because if you want to know what liberal democratic values are, follow donald trump's check bookie. >> cruz telling badly in new york polls, but predicting a big move in the state. much like in wisconsin. >> well the interesting thing about polling is it can change and it can change quickly. we just won a landslide victory winning by 13 point, sweeping the state. >> john kasich hoping to stay alive, coming in second in the latest poll, continuing to fight off calls for him to drop out of the race. now, it is very clear that john kasich and ted cruz have a lot of ground to make up in new york but if you want to know what they are trying to do here pay attention to where they are going in the days ahead. the reason is this. donald trump will likely win new york city. both campaigns are listen to sooed that at this point. but the delegates are allocated in way that doesn't go to whipper take all. that means john

you know, i pointed out, i'm new york 27. it used to be new york 45. we've lost 40% of our congressional representation, as our area has been devastated over the last few decades. so it's -- it's worries about our children and our grandchildren, and having a future for them in western new york. so that is what mr. trump is tapped into, and that's why, you know, not only now in the primary, but come general election, this is where he's tapped into the democrats and the republican -- and the independent frustration with the establishment. so he's not only going to do great today but come november, he's going to do extraordinarily well in western new york. >> member of congress, endorsing mr. trump. congressman chris collins. thank you very much. happy voting. >> thank you, brooke. >>> and making a good argument why new york is so important. a metaphor effect of issues here reflecting what's going on around the around and a lot of delegates. you can only take so much from the pundits and politicians. this comes down to you. the real people. the voters. wh

new york democrats reside within new york city. there are about 2.7 million registered republicans. 17% of all new york republicans reside in new york city. that's setting the table for tonight. let's bring in our panel. tucker carlson, host of "fox & friends" weekend. katherine ran pel, opinion writer at the "washington post" and dana perino, co-host of "the five." >> we heading in the adopted home state of hillary clinton. the home state of donald trump, they seem poised for big nights. what are you seeing from the ex-ith polls. >> i think the rough outlines, what we thought was going to happen will be proved true. probably by night's end, i think it's going to be an early night judging by these numbers. what jumps out at me is the future of democratic party and bernie sanders. once again sanders has swept, no the just carried, but swept overwhelmingly people under 45. this mirror what is you've seen in state after state in primary after caucus across the democratic contests. it tells you something simple, which is you want to kn

new york city comptroller scott stringer vowed to audit the new york city board of elections. we'll have more on the new york primary after headlines. in brooklyn, a judge has sentenced former nypd officer peter liang to serve no jail time for killing unarmed african american father akai gurley. in 2014, nypd officer peter liang shot 28-year-old gurley in the darkened stairwell of a brooklyn housing project. gurley was walking down the stairs with his girlfriend because the elevator was broken. following the shooting, officer liang first texted his union representative before making a radio call for help. as gurley lay dying. liang had faced up to 15 years in prison on second-degree murder charges. but on tuesday, judge danny chun sentenced him to serve only five years probation and 800 hours of community service. judge chun also made the rare decision to reduce officer liang's verdict from manslaughter charges to the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide. following the announcement, akai gurley's aunt, hecicicirtencia petersen, spoke out. >> this is not justice. this

great moments in new york's primary history. two guys that know all about it. ♪ ♪ bill clinton: good morning, john. john: how are you? bill clinton: i am disappointed you did not call me bubba. that is an honorable term where i come from. john: that was bill clinton and john imus second 1992. our next guests remember how he got the nomination in that fatal year. the entire state is the key for hillary clinton just like it was for her husband. here to talk about it, john podhoretz, editor of the columnist, and adam nagourney, the bureau chief for the los angeles times. try to convey to anyone who does not understand what a competitive new york primary on the public inside, try to convey what that is like. >> people like me, new yorkers talking about it not being true, it is crazy. new york invented before seven before there was 24/7. it is on the last places in the world except london were you have a really competitive newspaper. you have larger-than-life reporters who really know how to make news and view their role as tryin

york and new york city. we have done a lot better. there is more that can be done. >> this morning we heard from both candidates about the particular issue especially what we are hearing from george clooney. listen to what bernie sanders and hillary clinton have to say. >> he is honest to say there is something wrong when people, in this case wealthy individuals, other instances it is powerful special interests who are able to contribute large sums. you not going to have a government that represents all of us so long as you have candidates like secretary clinton. >> i am raising money to elect other democrats. i am a democrat. i want to see us take back the senate. i want to see us have a very strong showing in the house. i want to take back governorships and state legislators all up and down the ticket. so i want to win in new york, of course. i want to secure the nomination but not just for me. >> so which argument do you think resonates with voters more from the perspective of wall street being a negative

new york we both lived here in new york, i believe, ted does too that new yorker are strong, people. charles: rejoining me now. pica, there is a report out that even if ted cruz comes in third. his campaign thinks he will get more than half of delegates, before the folk here vote. what do you think that impression is when people hear that. >> i think they see a winner. >> not a cheater in or someone who is bending the rules? >> no. he out maneuvered donald trump, that was kind of a wake-up call for him it took months to get boots on ground in iowa, and months to get boots on ground in philadelphia and pennsylvania and indiana. it something you can't do overnight. so we are for example 23,000 women for cruz volunteers, a daily phone call, we talk about strategy, we have activists and women in the party, who are calling their friends and colleagues in these states and 18 congressional district for example in philadelphia. and pennsylvania. sorry. >> pennsylvania. charles: i got you. betsy, it a game, you know donald trump became fame outous. his problem -- famous, his problem he did yo

it states, new york history, 1898 to 1951. new york civilization. lifeork, intellectual 20th century. greenwich village, intellectual life, 20th century. [laughter] going back to 1898, i think in a span thatended a began during, around 1898. the spanish-american war. roosevelt became president after the attempted assassination. there was a great civic culture out of which the roosevelt emerged. theodore roosevelt obviously is a republican, and then franklin roosevelt began as a cabinet member, subcommittee member -- sub-cabinet member under woodrow wilson. i think it could just be called the longer age of roosevelt, if you want to embrace that. i think, you know, as i mentioned to a dear friend town, i wondering about said, i always had this ambition of photographing all the major monuments to fdr. i realized this would take a very long time in new york city. [laughter] short, because we are just about done -- what is the condition of the writer in 1940, 1940's, as opposed to the writer today? autobiography,'s he talks about supporting himself when

new york is new york. just doesn't work when you can't wear cowboy boots. >> when the polls close, two hours from now. >> cruz could do well. he will do well in areas where trump will do well and take all three delegates. >> ed cox, thanks for that. that will do it for this hour. coming up, a special live edition of hardball. chris matthews live from brooklyn. chris will join bryan williams and rachel maddow for our election coverage. that starts at 8:00 eastern. stay with us. >>> new york values. let's play hardball. >>> live from the foot of the brooklyn bridge. the polls will be closed across the state. donald trump and hillary clinton are looking for big victories tonight. the fight for this state has been the hardest fought of the democratic campaign. for clinton a big victoryl

as we go into new york, you saw this push from the clinton campaign on "the new york daily news" interview, for example, and her aides behind the scenes saying they're going to work to, quote, unquote, disqualify sanders from the presidency over the next couple of weeks. this is sanders' very personal response saying i'm not going to allow that to happen. >> kasie, another point that got a lot of attention last night was senator sanders, saying hillary clinton should apologize for supporting the war in iraq after he was under fire from some of the family members of those who were killed at sandy hook. >> reporter: that's right, tamron. i actually asked him about that in an interview i did yesterday. he did say, you know, i don't run around talking about how hillary clinton should apologize for the iraq war victims. i pushed him a little bit and asked, do you view them as the same? his response to that, to say that he doesn't think that the sandy hook victims -- that anyone should play politics with the sandy hook tragedy, if you will. not totally answering that question. the very sensitive

♪ let's hear it for new york ♪ for new york ♪ for new york >> thank you, new york! thank you all so much! thank you! you know, today. today you proved once again, there's no place like home. you know, in this campaign, we won in every region of the country. from the north to the south to the east to the west, but this one's personal. new yorkers, you've always, you've always had my back. and i've always tried to have yours. today, together, we did it again and i am deeply, deeply grateful. i want to thank everyone who came out and voted and to all of you across new york who have known me and worked with me for so long. it is humbling, it is humbling that you'd trust me with the awesome responsibilities that await our next president. and to all the people who supported senator sanders, i believe there is much more that unites us than divides us. you know, we started this race not far from here on roosevelt island, pledging to build on the aggressive tradition that's done so much for america, from franklin roosevelt to brarack obama, and tonight, a little less than a

he said i'm from new york. they're new york values. not iowa values. the point you made a second ago. last week, i was down in the bronx and was meeting with a number of hispanic and african-american pastors including a democratic state senator, senator reuben diaz. senator diaz is a pastor and mentioning, he brought up new york values. he brought up exactly what you said that cuomo said. he said my democratic governor, my party, told me if i'm pro-life, support traditional marriage, if i believe in the second amendment there's no place for me in new york. senator diaz said we're fed you will with the values of liberal democrats intolerant to the common sense values of most of the men and women of new york. >> yeah. you know -- i know that you know my background and i was born and raised in new york. i have a special place in my heart and we saw greatness out of the american people, the people of new york on 9/11. >> oh yeah. >> upstate helped long island helped. the entire country in fairness rallied around. there are so many good people here. >> abso

we're in schoharie county, new york, upstate new york. we've been talking to a lot of voters up here, kind of taking the pulse. and i want to bring in a couple of folk who is graciously allowed us to talk to them. katie long and josh loden. you're both in your 20s, you're young voters. katie, you're from sko hair sch registered republican. and who are you going to vote for? >> i'm going to vote for mr. trump. >> donald trump. why? >> i've thought about that. there isn't an exact reason why. i'm kind of not connected with any of the other candidates and i'm very intrigued in what he has and would like to bring to the table. i feel he's a little more well rounded, especially with his success and even failures that he's had, businesswise. and in the world. so i think that along with political will make him a well-rounded person. >> we're going to keep this civil. but josh, you really don't like donald trump. >> i -- he's not my first choice, i'll put it that way. >> diplomatic. >> you're a registered democrat. and you're thinking? >> hillary

we went from wisconsin nice to new york nasty. and, you know, ted cruz learned in the bronx a cheer is a jeer. he went through the hazing ritual of the tabloid headline. this is being pumped up. his goal is if he can keep trump to under 50, that will be tough, that's what counts. >> the "boston globe" today this mock front page put out in the opinion section. we can put it up on the screen. deportations to begin. this imagines we're in a trump presidency. markets sink, trade war looms. libel law targets absolute scum in press. does this go too far? >> certainly, i think trump voters and if this was intended to reach trump voters, are going to view it that way. they're going to view it as crossing a line from providing information to advocacy, and they may also be offended and think they're talking down to them with some of the specifics that were in there. alt the same time, it's an editorial. and it's completely within the realm for an editorial to raise questions about what the implications of a candidate's policies will be. >>

- hates new york. when you look at that debate and see the way he talked about us and new york values, here's a man that turned down sandy money for the state. no new yorker can vote for ted cruz. >> will trump stop that delegate advantage? he had been adding on the delegates, ted cruz over the past few weeks. will trump change that today? >> i want to hop back to the first question. that was muze playing in the background. >> thank you, tom. >> always here to help with the political insights. >> the important information around the campaign. >> you know, what is important here for trump tonight and cruz is that 50% mark. you know, trump has been incredibly strong in new york. the new york republicans, closed primary. true new york republicans have been above 50% for trump. so if you are cruz and kasich, your benchmark is knocking him out. anti-trump 50%. if you can keep him at 49% and keep him from taking all of the delegates. no one is expecting cruz or kasich to win new york. it's his town. >> kelly

new york primary. instead of stumping in california, a top trump advisor says the campaign is focussed on capturing all the delegates up for grabs in new york as that would shrink the number of delegates needed for the nomination to manageable number. he has hired his convention manager to work alongside corey lewandowski. >> you guys are doing a great job. >> helping new york children make matza he says he wants to figure fie the states democrats. >> our friends in the media is very familiar with those who have supported the democrats for decades. and they really want to see a general election between two new york liberals. >> but that could be a tough sell. with the new york daily news telling cruz to take the "f" you train. >> new york is not stupid. after we were hit we rallied. >> a john kasich super pac ad is piling on. >> now you come and say you love new york. forget about it ted. >> taking a big bite in the big apple kasich stopped at a bronx deli and said he's poised to start eating away at t

"new york post." now he has the entire country. there are areas where cruz can perform strongly. if you look at the upstate new york congressional districts that have a conservative profile, he can do well there. john kasich, who will finish second in the percentage tally, he could do well in places like westchester county. even some of the areas of suffolk county. this is a state perfectly situated for donald trump. you look at the crowd tonight he has in erie. that's not a new york city type area. that's blue collar, a little more population. it's the exact type of population that feels they have been disenfranchised from the process and donald trump is the perfect vehicle for their frustrations. >> looking at john's map, you can see the delegate county that marco rubio has a bunch of delegates. what happens to those in the first round? do they have to vote for rubio? >> it goes by state rules. of each state party. so for instance, marco rubio won 22 delegates in puerto rico. if the state party says

new york city. the state has 19 million people. about 15 million of them live downstate. there's still 4 million people, a ton of people upstate. upstate new york is totally different than downstate. almost like a midwestern state, very depressed, economically challenged. the voters will be receptive to the messages of donald trump and bernie sanders. >> this is a tease for the next two weeks. we'll have you back a lot in the next 14 days. a lot to talk about, a lot to dissect. the center of the universe is going to be new york until april 19th. i'll see you right back here at 4:00 p.m. eastern, and tamron hall is going to pick up the coverage in the next hour. barry bennett with the trump campaign is going to be on with her. our cosmetics line was a hit. the orders were rushing in. i could feel our deadlines racing towards us. we didn't need a loan. we needed short-term funding fast. building 18 homes in 4 ½ months? that was a leap. but i knew i could rely on american express to help me buy those

and the new york daily news and the new york times already made theirs: both endorse hillary clinton for president. clinton is "supremely knowledgeable" and "results-driven." she "promises to be a true democratic champion"... "advancing an ambitious democratic agenda in the white house." and the times lauds her "vision, in which middle-class americans have a real shot at prosperity." new york' i'm hillary clinton, and i approve this message. here. the polls are now open. who will win the battle for new york? >>> plus, a former nypd officer learning his sentence today for the shooting death of an unarmed man in a brooklyn stairwell. >>> plus, a state of emergency right now in texas as historic flooding leaves most of houston under water.

new york's the next contest up. 95 delegates up for grabs in new york. the way the delegate rules work there, if donald trump gets the kind of win in new york that the polls are suggesting he's going to get, he could take 85 of those 90 delegates. he could take maybe even more than 85 of those 95. then you go a week later. the mid-atlantic, the northeast. check this out. delaware's a winner-take-all state. looks very good for trump right now. maryland is a state that does a lot by congressional district. but you look at it, trump could take 32 of those 38 in maryland. pennsylvania's a wild card. this is the interesting thing here in pennsylvania. 17 to the statewide winner. then you see this 54. what are these 54? these 54 are unbound delegates. they're men and women who are running for delegates. their names will appear on the ballot. 54 of them will be elected to the republican convention. they will be free agents at the convention. they could vote for anybody they want. that's the good news, maybe, for the stop-trump forces. they say, hey, donald trum

new york is a big part of that. melissa, as we head outside of trump tower, it is like a back to the future moment for donald trump. the last time we were here and saw this candidate in this venue, when he came down the escalator with his wife melania. everybody remembers the shot. that is when trump announced he was ruining for president in june of last year. a lot has happened between now and then. he is back where it all began, his own residence, trump tower. what hopes will be a big joyous moment tonight. as you point out it comes down to delegates. how many can he get. melissa: that's right. no one saw the trump go down escalator when that happened. they were watching the woman in front of him, right? connell, was anyone looking at him this that shot. not even me. definitely not. see it again. which will never forget this i saw the dress is phenomenal. no one is looking, try to look at -- you can't do it. not possible. all right. thank you so much, connell. david: hate to tell you it wasn't the dress. it was th

york, voting here in new york, and i love new york. >> candidates from both parties competing for delegates from new york's 27 congressional districts that we just learned about from john. join something us now from midtown manhattan, the clinton campaign event, where it is going to be held. right? where are you, adam shapiro? >> that's correct. we are right outside 7th avenue outside sheraton hotel where hillary clinton will be tonight. she hopes she will be able to claim victory but we haven't even closed the polls yet an there are already lawsuits. we were at ps-51 in manhattan. it is called hell's kitchen. . turnout was according to the people there with the republicans heavy. that district has about 20% republican. the guy we spoke to in charge there said the republicans were turning out. there were also a lot of young people showing up who had not registered for the primary who were being turned away because they are independents. you have to register in new york as either a democrat or a republican in order to vote in the primary. so those young people were turned away presumably the

the new york primary. things are getting heated in that primary. i know you're clinton supporter, we're going to talk about the super delegate situation in a little bit. given the escalation and rhetoric we've seen in the last few hours, neither one is qualified to be president, does that -- so far this race hasn't gone down that path. are you concerned that it will get bitter now. >> i think that it has the potential to do that. i hope that it does not. the one thing that had separated the democratic primary season from the republican season had been the tone of the rhetoric, and the fact that the democratic contenders were focused on the issues. offering solutions and substance. and talking about things that they had actually had experience with for the most part. that was not true on the other side. and that's unfortunate. the main thing that i'm concerned about is that the american people deserve to have leaders who are able to articulate the issues, and offer reasonable pragmatic doable solutions. i a
