msnbc political analyst and former senior adviser to rand paul's campaign, elise jordan. donald trump alluded to the fact he could pull out a victory. on one hand, he pounds to polls who shows he's in the lead. on the other, he expressed to chris not the confidence that we're accustomed to seeing from him. what do you see happening there tonight? >> well, i think you summed it up well there, tamron. look, the polling suggests that ted cruz has an advantage. what's significant is that cruz's advantage does not look to be as strong as it was a week ago. that's very interesting because cruz has been all over the state. he's campaigned very, very hard. what i think a lot of people expected was that when governor walker and really a lot of the republican establishment came out for cruz, that trump might step back. it's very fascinating. he has not stepped back. he has done an intensive campaign in wisconsin. and he's gone to a lot of places out state, places like superior and green bay. i'm hearing that turnout in those places are very, very good. so my sense is that we might

what do you think, elise jordan? i'm not sure they're all voters. bernie sanders would be doing better if every person went to his rally showed up at the polls. it's a group of people who feel strongly about him. are they going to run to hillary? >> i don't think they're going to run to hillary. i think that's the challenge that bernie sanders has to internally grapple with. what is his role? conciliatory, a peacemaker? is he going to essentially accept he's had a huge impact on shifting the party platform and shifting hillary clinton. or is he going to keep going hard at it? i tend to think he's going to keep staying at it and pushing his message. i think he's gotten personal among the two politicians. that's a hard thing to strip away in the aftermath of a defeat. >> mark, do you agree? is bernie going to keep at it? >> he'll keep at it. i think the pressure is going to be on him to stop the going so hard it hurt and running a more positive message. he's the money to go through. it's clear for him it's important to be on the ballot in california.

rnc general council ben ginsberg, and nbc analyst and former adviser to rand paul's campaign, elise jordan. it bears reminding to around, we have a lot of voting, but when you look at the delegate math, donald trump appears to be the one who will get if not the number needed, very close to it. but there's still a lot of voting. ben, this meeting yesterday, the "new york times" says that while trump is trying to paint it as a unity meeting, inside, however, it was more of a clearing of the air, according to three people briefed in detail on the discussion, priebus laid out for the party's front-runner the need for the committee and mr. trump's campaign to have a good relationship. i know you were not in that meeting. but if you can, how do you think that this played out? the laying out of this need to have a good relationship, and how extraordinary is it that the party would have to have this conversation with their front-runner? >> well, it's pretty extraordinary. i mean, four years ago, this was the week that the rnc basically said, okay, mitt romney, you're the presumptive nominee. we're

to figure out, i mean, yesterday, i was actually at home and my greatest concern yesterday was why jordan spieth didn't hit it over the pin and knock it into the water twice. that's what my concern was about. >> ohio governor john kasich there talking about the hunt for delegates being all that matters and again, we should note here, kasich, of course, at this point in terms of the delegate race is actually behind marco rubio who dropped out a month ago and spend time in just a bit but start with jacob rascon about 33 miles east offous us in albany. jacob, you heard that sound we played off the top with donald trump calling the system corrupt, saying it's rigged. he did that during a rally in rochester. what's his team's plan to avoid a contested convention? >> reporter: and so now it seems they actually do have a plan with paul manafort, the convention manager. i talked to a trump advisor who told me this morning that the internal numbers they are working with have them getting over 1300 delegates. that's what they're hoping for. and then starting with new york, this is about momentum fo

we want to bring in msnbc's elise jordan and how this process works, and ultimately which candidate may benefit the most. we're hearing it's unfair, ted cruz says you should have better organization, a better ground game. break it down for us. how does this actually work? what are we missing? >> so the rnc, 56 states and territories, they assign a number of delegates to those 56 states and territories. however, each congressional district gets three delegates. otherwise, these states, the islands, the bbis, guam, samoa, they get to decide the rules about how the delegates are selected. ted cruz has been extremely operative and has been running an insurgent operation to get any delegates that aren't bound to candidates. he's running a far superior campaign to donald trump. he knows the rules and he's playing by them. that's what donald trump is now lashing out against when the irony is that donald trump has won about 37% of the votes, but now has 45% of the delegates. they're only separated by about 211 delegates right now, cruz and trump, and so that's why the competition is getting tou

i want to bring in political analyst elise jordan, former senior policy adviser for the rand paul campaign. john kasich said yesterday the delegate process is bizarre, but i guess the delegate process being bizarre is what exactly he's looking for when he hasn't been able to win much. >> also, if he wants, the only hope he has is a contested convention. that certainly looks like where it's headed right now. i think the rules definitely are complicated, but it's certainly manageable in what a campaign with a strong organization decide is around to do is to know how to handle the process. so kasich certainly seems to have a team in place to do that. >> someone who has clearly a very strong organization for this is ted cruz, right? >> yes. >> he's been, what, setting his cites on the west coast. been very successful so far. >> really, what's interesting is new york state is the only place where cruz really just isn't doing well at all. >> kind of mia these days. >> yes, so he's out on the west coast, and it's sdflecting attention from, he really is not having a strong showing here. i think ka

we turn now back to political analyst, elise jordan, former aide to senator rand paul. i want to read something brand-new. it's just in the "new york times" right now. you basically have newt gingrich saying, look, none of the mistakes by trump have been forced. nobody forced him to react negatively. it's almost as though he is so full of himself he can't slow down and recognize that being president is a team sport that requires a stable personality. that allows other people to help him. i think newt gingrich, who has been positive about trump, says he has a real possibility of having surged amazingly to miss the golden ring. >> i think newt is right. i think that really this week did a lot of lasting damage to trump. and the zombie theory they're talking about in this article, i think there is some truth to that. even if trump gets the nomination, there is no way he can be successful in the general election. >> you think that's established. >> i think that's established. i just think there is no way that your unfavorables can be so high with literally three quarters of

let's bring back casey hunt and elise jordan. trump and advisers promised a more polished and presidential trump. did he sound like that to you today? >> definitely. that's what we've seen over the last two weeks that donald trump has the ability to change and growing as a candidate and listening to the senior advisers he's brought in. it's been remarkable just because it shows discipline that we've never really have seen previously from donald trump. and it's probably -- it should be incredibly intimidating to hillary clinton because disciplined donald trump is a dangerous one to her candidacy. >> and one of the things talked about elise, to amend the gop platform on abortion, how do you think that's going to play? is that feasible? >> i think that he at this point feels pretty comfortable about his position as the front-runner and about locking the down the nomination. he's already pivoting towards the general. he didn't wade into it as much as previously damaging interview with chris matthews where he said women who get aborti

. >> elise jordan, thank you. let's update your microsoft question now, is the kasich-cruz eye license too little or too late? you can say 88% saying yes. >> it is not too late for you to vote. you can vote on msnbc.com. lets get to a new development out of ohio where autopsy results just released in the investigation of eight family members who were executed. nbc's blake mccoy is in ohio with details. do results give any new insights of what may have happened there? >> reporter: i got off the phone with the coroner. the victims were shot to nine times each. >> potential struggles before those victims were killed. the biggest question remains the eras motive and we do not have an answer. the three homes where these eight people found killed is coming out. the generals saw signs of potential cock fighting at one of the homes. a lot of speculations here in the community that it may have been drug related. no named suspects either leaving this community in south eastern ohio on edge, craig. >> blake mccoy on the scen

i want to bring in msnbc political analyst and former senior advisor to rand paul's campaign, elise jordan and howard fineman. howard, let me start with with you. as we've been covering this deal, this alliance, it seems to be weakening by the moment. does it really have a chance of working or won't we know until after indiana? >> i don't think it has much chance of working and it may not matter in indiana. keep in mind the context, which is today. donald trump is going to clean up big time in the five states along the line in the acela primaries, so-called, and that's the context here. it's going to be a big night and big headlines and big momentum in the morning for donald trump, which is just going to underscore the weakness of that alliance, indiana notwithstanding. >> so, elise, this morning donald trump weighed in on what he says is the deal's ultimate demise and we heard him there in that interview, but of course he also takes to twitter and sent out a tweet saying the cruz/kasi cruz/kasich pact is under great strain. the joke of a deal is falling apart, not being honored and almost

never trump super pac along with msnbc political analyst and former senior advisor to rand paul, elise jordan. rory, looking at the results last night and the delegate count, tell me why this gop race is not already over? >> listen, i'm not going to spin last night as a good night for people who are looking to stop donald trump but i'm going to spin it as a night that we expected. we have been banking on him sweeping delegates in these northeast states for some time. we have publicly been saying that that's baked into our calculation on him being able to have this narrow path to 1,237. the real race now moves out west in the states where donald trump is clearly more vulnerable and i do hope he focuses his attention on the general while ted cruz is retail politicking in indiana because that's going to make it much more difficult for trump and much more favorable for ted cruz to get those delegates and change the narrative. a lot of folks in the media wanted to declare this race over, it's far from it. indiana is where the spotlight is right now and the ted cruz campaign has to put their foot o

. >> i'm joined boy msnbc political analyst elise jordan and also with me communications strategist erin mcpike. elise, let me start with you. when you hear what jeb bush is saying about, oh, my gosh, it's all lost if trump is the nominee and then you see boehner say that the gop is now coming around to the idea of a trump nomination after the lucifer comment, is a stop trump movement still around? >> well, i think the contrast between jeb bush and john boehner is interesting. jeb bush is speaking out of principle and about the good of the country and what he sees would happen under a trump presidency. and i think that john boehner is following the power and really helped out -- and hurt ted cruz and helped donald trump with that comment. you know, i do think that the stop trump movement is clearly on life support. the only success that they have had has been in drawing attention to donald trump's misogynistic comments. other attacks have really fallen flat, i feel, and i wish there had been more of a focus on his financials. this is tough, though. it started late, it was funded late, an

let's bring in contributor and former dnc chairman howard dean and analyst elise jordan and policy adviser to rand paul. welcome to you both. howard, i will first ask you for your reaction to this dust up. is bernie sanders right? is hillary clinton getting nervous? >> i think everybody should be nervous when they run for president. you can't take anything for granted. hillary is frustrated because they offer debates and they demand a different debate. bernie turned down a debate on the "today" show. that's huge. i don't know what's going on there. it doesn't make sense. on the fossil fuel stuff, they both took money from fossil fuels. nobody took money from a corporation. that is true. they both took money from people associated from fossil fuels. this is a close race where the stakes are huge. there has not been a momentum shift. nothing is a surprise. we knew hillary was going do well and she did in the mid-western states. bernie did well in the states that followed. bernie is doing well there. if bernie doesn't shake it up someplace, he can't win. >> just this morning on time's website

elise jordan, thank you very much. we'll see you again. >>> now to the backlash over the hollywood film and the making that is a comedy about ronald reagan suffering from alzheimer's. actor will ferrell was to portray the former president to the outrage of the reagan family. nbc's cynthia mcfadden fills us in. >> there's no doubt will ferrell is a funny guy, and he has mocked presidents before. >> you've got to admit that it's a pretty good plot twist that i turned out to be the smart one. >> is it going too far to play president ronald reagan with alzheimer's in a new comedy. >> ronald and nancy reagan's daughter patty davis said yes. she wrote i watched as fear invaded my father's eyes, this man who was never afraid of anything. i heard his voice tremble as he stood in the living room and said, i don't know where i am. the film's premise is this, a white house inturn has to convince reagan he is an actor playing the president. in 1985, he was widely lauded when he helped teach americans about alzheimer's. i now begin
