he was hoping to make the case that donald trump's support here was fading after donald trump's narrow victory in loisiana. but he looks like walking away after a win here >>> joining us now is bill schneid rshgs esh schneidre vment what do you think the headline of the night is in some >> that bernie sanders may beat clinton. that's a big blow to her campaign >>> michael you agree? >> reporter: yes. i don't see how it wouldn't be. especially it doesn't change the delegate count nor the fact of a strong lead. now they go further where she was strong leads and it changes what happens in michigan if she does have a loss >>> why do you think it happened? poles showed her way ahead in the polls in michigan. >> reporter: i think there are a couple of things. in the last 48 hours the bernie sanders campaign flooded the airways with his economic message, the idea that hillary clinton supported the kind of trade deals that according to the sanders campaign caused a lot of jobs. there's indication that at least in the local media and michael will talk to this, hillary clinton got stung by her c

donald trump. donald trump won at least three states. right now he is locked in a very, very tight race in missouri with ted cruz. look at that. separated by 1,700 votes. the outcome of that, we are told, they are done counting for the night in missouri. they're going to look at provisional ballots and absen e absentees when they wake up. we may not get an official word from missouri for some time. but the big story, florida. winner take all state, 99 delegates at stake. donald trump won every last won of them. this is what he said. >> we have a great opportunity, and the people that

it was a good tuesday for donald trump. he's the leader in the race, no question, he'll have attend of the day, about 250 delegates ted cruz and marco rubio, between them, will have won about 320 delegates. hillary clinton is pretty comfortably ahead. this race, there are two possible paths, trump winning or trump not winning and ending up with a brokered or contested convention. everything depends on two weeks from tonight. if he wins florida and ohio, it's probably over. probably going to a contested convention. if he wins one and loses one, hard to tell. >> many more invested in the last 4 hours in this never trump, stop trump movement in both of those states. >> up to this point, the arguments against donald trump have all failed, the arguments that he's not conservative tonight, he doesn't have the temperament enough to be president he's not actually looking out for the little guy who represents donald trump's voting base within the republican party. it remains to be seen if it's too little too late. >> cokie, you had

a scene right now in ohio, we are waiting for donald trump. it is a large rally, up to 10,000 expected at this one. very similar to the size crowds last night in chicago for an event that they had to cancel when it got very violent. you heard by now just how violent. five people were arrested, and this has been wall-to-wall coverage right now. as a lot of people harken back to this and say maybe, maybe donald trump is going to have trouble at future events and rallies, but he is still adding to his planned public events. not stepping back one bit. again, he is due sfwoo ohio shortly. when he goes, and when he speaks, we'll let you know. but it has changed also what some of his opponents have been saying on this. the tone of the race is sometimes a tone that you take from the top. marco rubio, not a very big fan of the way donald trump has handled events in his way, goading some protesters on and go as far as to say he would not be a perfect nominee to put it mildly, but he went further than that. listen to this. >> the nominee, is he the nomin

than donald trump is. yet he continues to dominate in these primaries and caucuses. >> that's right. it's not so much about the i, but the overwhelming emotion of anger. and wanting to have a total disruption in washington. and the big institutions that run this country. you know, just back to what sarah was reporting, there is no question that there is a feeling of depression, despair, inevitability inside the rubio campaign. people who are close to him. unless there's a huge surprise tonight, they are preparing for the worst. and the worst being losing his home state and likely not continueding on. now, he has said all day today he's going to continue on to utah. he's got the schedule in place. we'll see if that happens. >> we'll see if that happens. marco rubio obviously had a very optimistic future looking message. and that does not appear to be where a majority of the republican electorate is. wolf blitzer, you have a key race alert. >> let's do a key race alert right now, the first of the night. let'

donald trump dominated in 7 states last night. senator cruz came out of the evening with three which happened in the wee hours of the morning and marco rubio got his first state win. >> i think we have done something that almost nobody thought could be done. and i'm proud of it. i just want to leave you with this. i'm a unifier. i would love to see the republican party and everybody get together and unify. when we tunify there is nobody that is going to beat us. bill: rubio and cruz will continue to go after trump. they promise this race is far from over. >> we can nominate a washington deal maker, profane and vulgar, who has a lifelong pattern of using government power for personal gain. or we can nominate a proven conservative who has fought consistently for working men and women and defend the constitution. >> no matter how long it takes, no matter how many states it takes, no matter how many weeks and months it takes, i'll campaign as long as it takes and wherever it takes to insure i'm the next president of the united states.

donald trump is a pathological liar. and the news media for the most part has no idea how to deal with him. television news in particular needs new rules about how to deal with a pathological liar running for president. for example, last week on election night every cable news network carried donald trump's 40-minute victory speech in its entirety, and it was filled with lies from start to finish and the networks then devoted virtually no time to reporting or analyzing those lies for that audience that just heard them. donald trump got away with every one of those lies on live television to that huge audience that night. and then the next day some of those lies were taken apart in news articles for a much smaller audience and on some television shows for a much smaller audience than saw that huge election night coverage of his speech. television news has always worked on the assumption that politicians will not try to get away with outright provable lies live on tv where everyone can see them. a few cable news shows don'

georgia, the nasa, donald trump -- vanessa, donald trump, why? caller: i believe he can change this nation and get people back to work and get our country back the way it should be. nitpicking, much another,hate from one and it has got to stop. host: tell us about yourself. caller: i am 58 years old. i just got a new job after being 2014 until 2015, november, where i got full-time finally. i am a third shift supervisor and i have seen people, and go, and many of them have been looking for jobs for three or four years. many that work with us are living out of their cars. right now, i believe trump can get people back to work, can get is this is back instead of businesses leaving because they are taxed too much and they are leaving our country, leaving us stranded. in all hisd trump speeches and debate appearances, has he ever offended you? caller: no. understand why he talks , because he got romney, cruise, and rubio insulting everything else at him. he is going to fight back and he needs to. host: thank you, ma'am. carlos in key biscayne, florida

questions about donald trump. let's listen in. >> you don't sit on the sidelines, but you actually get involved in the game. now let me be really clear. i am not a full time surrogate for donald trump. i don't have a title or a position in the trump campaign. i am an endorser of trump. and after i made that decision with mary pat last thursday to endorse him, i went out on the road on friday and saturday with him. to announce and reinforce that endorsement. and then i went out on super tuesday with him to emphasize that endorsement. i got back to the state yesterday. i'm going to be in the state for the rest of the week and through the weekend. i have no current plans to go back out on the road with him again. but i will at some point, i'm sure, do so. the only plans i have to go away is to finally take a few days off. and march 8th, next tuesday, is my 30th wedding anniversary. it might be a good moment for me to take my wife away and remind her why she might want to stay with me for a few more years after having

trump, to stop donald trump. too little, too late? >> too little, too late, and too ineffective really. there seems to be nothing that you can tell republican voters about donald trump or that he tells about himself that alienates them. if it's he uses curse words, or if he accepts the klu klux klan's endorsements or if he says something negative about the future latino leaders with latino voters. there seems to be nothing that he can do that alienates the republicans, and nothing he can say about them that sticks to him. >> and with regard to the kkk issue, he refused to denounce or disavow david duke--he reviewed to say something about the kkk, and then he did later. >> so far he has the same thing going for him that president reagan had for him, testif teflon. he could make a statement that for someone else would be a career killer, and then he moves on. >> the democrats turn out plaque votes in november? >> donald trump has the teflon of low expectations. no one expected anything from donald trump, and he cou

as donald trump. the establishment is really only left with one candidate barring some sort of late, you know, surge by john kasich, which i don't see happening. and that candidate is marco rubio. so they have to throw everything behind him. now, you know, you talk about this concerted attack on donald trump over the next two weeks. it's very hard for me to see exactly what those attacks could do that could hurt trump because trump has proven to be invincible for the last nine months but the next few weeks are key. the fact is we have two republican debates between now and march 15th. those two debates are going to be the chance for rubio to really shine, and shining means he has to perform very well because just winning minnesota isn't enough to cut it if he wants to win ohio and florida. >> maeve, when you look at cruz, what is the path forward? you look ahead to march 15th. where's the opportunity for him. is there no opportunity for him? >> well, i think it was a really mixed night for ted cruz in

it was a good tuesday for donald trump. he's the leader in the race, no question, he'll have attend of the day, about 250 delegates ted cruz and marco rubio, between them, will have won about 320 delegates. hillary clinton is pretty comfortably ahead. this race, there are two possible paths, trump winning or trump not winning and ending up with a brokered or contested convention. everything depends on two weeks from tonight. if he wins florida and ohio, it's probably over. if he loses both of them, we're probably going to a contested convention. if he wins one and loses one, hard to tell. >> many more invested in the last 4 hours in this never trump, stop trump movement in both of those states. >> up to this point, the arguments against donald trump have all failed, the arguments that he's not conservative tonight, he doesn't have the temperament enough to be president he's not actually looking out for the little guy who represents donald trump's voting base within the republican party. it remains to be seen if it's too lit

donald trump. potentially blocking his path to sowing up the nomination before the convention, paving the way toward a floor battle unlike any seen. n that same polling spells hope for bernie sanders and a headache for hillary clinton. a ton of stuff tonight, plus a closer look at the legal troubles surrounding trump campaign manager corey lewandowski. we begin with the abortion 180 and sunlen serfaty. walk us through what happened. >> reporter: this all stems from some very hard line positions that donald trump said today during a town hall, an interview during a town hall today over abortion. and trump was asked during that town hall, point blank, responding to a question, whether he would punish a woman for having an abortion if it was made illegal in the united states. here's first that exchange which set off this controversy. >> should the woman be punished for having an abortion? >> look -- >> this is not something you can dodge. if you say abortion is a crime or abortion is murder, you have

donald trump?" we're not cheering for donald trump. if johnny manziel won the super bowl we'd say, look, johnny manziel is a pretty damn great quarterback, not passing judgment on whether he should or not. why is this important? this is the mistake the republican establishment and the mainstream media have been making now for nine months. they have projected what they want to happen over what voters want to happen. and that's why everybody's been caught asleep at the wheel. >> and everything that comes out of his mouth comes from him. his gut. nobody's telling him preparing and polling and -- it's turned everything upside down and there are some positives in terms of how campaigns go -- where they go from here out of this, whether you like it or not. the money issue as well as sort of speaking from the gut and the heart, a lot of candidates simply can't do that and a lot of them are being wiped off the field because of the old way of doing things. >>> coming up, one of the stars of the piece we jus

against donald trump? the rhetoric being stallone around, it's like a "real housewives" reunion episode. spray tans and makeup and little hands and you know what else that means. it's incredible. does it work? >> well, we don't know. but my question is this. if your target are upper educated, upscale republican voters which we're told they are for marco rubio, are they impressed with what he's been doing the last few days? i have some real doubts on this. one thing i'd like to say about the map, though. i think that's the perfect map for donald trump. the best outcome for him tomorrow would to be take everything but texas and keep ted cruz in the race for a few more weeks because for donald trump, the more the merrier. >> we've got a lot more ahead. a lot more to talk about. we're also going to talk to our commentators. after the break you're going to hear what one republican u.s. senator said on camera today about what he'd do if it comes down to hillary rodham clinton versus donald j. trump in november.

for donald trump in florida. let's go to andrea mitchell. >> it's incredible. and it's very sad when you look. even with the protesters, the level of anger from all sides including the anger from our side, we're angry. we're not angry people. i tell you that. we're good people. but there's a lot of anger. and there's anger,

trump. >> donald trump thinks vladimir putin's a great guy. trump talks admiringly of the way the chinese government cracked down on the chinese people in tiananmen square. >> if you don't want to see donald trump as the nominee, if you don't want us to give this election to hillary clinton, then i ask you to stand with us today. >> reporter: even bernie sanders getting a jab in on trump. >> the political revolution is about bringing our people together. we do not allow the donald trumps of the world to divide us up. >> reporter: i spoke to cruz today amidst the hustle and bustle at his polling location in houston. >> this is a big day for you, right? >> i'm encouraged. >> reporter: he stopped to address the latest trump controversy. former ku klux klan leader david duke's endorsement of donald trump. >> bigotry and the klan has no place in public discourse, in politics, and i think anyone should have been willing to immediately denounce the klan. and it was unfortunate that he didn't do so. he's better than that. and he should have done that.

donald trump and p.o.w.s. donald trump and hispanics and muslims and now donald trump and the kkk. and i think everyone in this room can disavow the kkk if asked on the first notion. i want to beat back that hate and vitriol. democrats are excited about the possibility but not as easy as we once thought. >> domd trunald trump is sayingd a faulty ear piece. >> he said back to jake tapper, david duke. he said -- what do you mean by white supremacist, white supremacy. >> clearly heard the name. >> what he's doing is strategic. they -- he's not dumb at all. this was the same week that in tomorrow he's taking on seven southern states. one of them the founding place of the kkk. >> kayleigh, you believe the ear piece? >> not believing the ear piece is saying donald trump is a liar. >> i think he's a liar. >> he's day vowed david duke four times prior to this. >> but the thing i just don't understand about the ear piece thing is he clearly said i don't know david duke or believe i've ever met him. i'd have to look into him. two days later he disavowed david duke. when he was thinking of ru

is that something to that argument or are they overstating what donald trump's donald trump's damage is to him when there are disruptions or interruptions? >> first of all, there is this long body of court cases about inciting violence and there are -- the point is being there are limits on someone's first amendment rights but there are not that many limits. but for political candidates there are even kind of fewer limits on their first amendment rights. meaning that when you put yourself voluntarily into a political campaign the expectation is that you are going to be insulted. youpeople are going to say things to you that you don't agree with and you think aren't true. there is very little if any legal recourse for candidates. they are really held to a much higher standard. i think it would be very difficult if not impossible for trump othe trump campaign to prove -- or the trump campaign to prove sacks actions of these protesters. >> jim so interesting talking to you about this and we appreciate you coming on. >> thank you very much for having me, very interesting legal issues. >>

we're beating donald trump. we're seeing republicans uniting behind our campaign because we're the only candidate that is in a position to beat donald trump, to earn 1237 delegates and become the republican nominee. we're seeing republicans unite. >> i know you believe you can beat him. i have to press this a little bit. if you believe donald trump and his campaign are encouraging violence, how could you support him if he's the nominee? isn't that a line that should not be condoned? crossing that line, shouldn't that not be condoned? >> and i'm not condoning it. i'm encouraging everyone to focus on decency, civility, appealing to our better angels. my focus is on winning. winning the nomination. then on beating hillary clinton and bernie sanders. because let me be clear. hillary clinton would be a disaster for this country. if hillary clinton is the president, we will lose this supreme court for a generation. the second amendment will be of rights. religious liberty will be lost for a generation. and our kids wi

donald trump not win florida, and donald trump will not be the republican nominee. >> reporter: what is your road map to change florida and win in florida? what do you have to do? >> well, i know we know how to win elections in florida. and what we have to do is remind people what's happening with donald trump. i don't deny up to this point there are people that have been taken by his message. he's trying to exploit people argument that he's fighting for the little guy. donald trump has never fought for the little guy. he's a guy that says he's tough on illegal immigration but he hired illegal immigrants to work on his trump towers to build it. he is a con artist and that's being exposed and you're seeing where he was up by huge margins in every poll and is pug off small victories and in theis -- >> reporter: but senator he's winning. he's winning delegates and winning states. winningwinning is what matters here. >> charlie, you have to get to 1,237 delegates. donald trump is not on track to do, that especially after tonight. when you get into the winner-take-all states and the race

if donald trump is our nominee, he'll lose. he'll lose to hillary clinton. the last eight. >> will you campaign for him? >> well, again, as i said, i'm not going to change my position today about supporting the nominee. because i still believe that donald trump will not be the nominee. despite all the noise out there. he needs 60% of the delegates from this point forward in order to be the nominee. ted cruz needs 75% of the remaining delegates to be the nominee. that's the real math. believe donald trump will be our nominee. i'm going to do everything i can to keep that from happening. to give the party the choice of me. if i'm the nominee, no one will be asked, will you support the nominee. we'll unite the party. we'll win. >> thank you, senator, for joining us. >> thank you. >>> up next, the democrats. can bernie sanders surprise hillary clinton again? he's here live. they call it planning for retirement because getting there requires exactly that. a plan for what you want your future to look like. for more than 145 years, pa

others say donald trump scrambles the playbook. he'll do well with white working-class voters, in places like ohio, pennsylvania, wisconsin. >> i think initially we'll see that hillary clinton would be favored in a race like that. but there are a couple of things that we have to keep in mind. first, it's very difficult for hillary clinton to run against and campaign against an unpredictable candidate like donald trump. it's the hardest to run against when someone is unpredictable. the other thing is, hillary clinton has demonstrated in the primaries and demonstrated in the polls is a flawed candidate for a general election, she's disliked by a majority of the a majority of the country. and she has some vulnerabilities. so, i don't think this is a slam-dunk for hillary clinton. i think she's slightly favored going into a general election. but there's no telling what will unfold against an unpredictable candidate. >> cecilia vega, meantime, the clinton campaign and allies have started to put together a campaign against donald trump.

they may not like donald trump supporters, but donald trump has a right to be there. they are really abrogating the rallies supporters first amendment rights. >> regardless of what side you're on hearing moveon.org saying trump supporters should be on notice. what does this mean? >> they are always accusing republicans of being intolerant. it's why people are angry and supporting donald trump. look, i'm no donald trump fan. and i think tone is set at the top of a campaign. i don't like donald trump's tone which is i'm why i'm backing ted cruz. he's the only guy who can beat donald trump. on the other hand, move on.org, planned parenthood, black lives matter these are movements that are not interested in a dialogue, not interested in solving problems. they're interested in shutting people down who they don't agree with. >> we're going to keep monitoring this rally where donald trump is expected to speak at and bring our audience any live developments that happen. let's talk about ted cruz. you're supporting ted cruz. i guess one of the issues around ted cruz is he hasn

trump. >> donald trump thinks vladimir putin's a great guy. trump talks admiringly of the way the chinese government cracked down on the chinese people in tiananmen square. >> if you don't want to see donald trump as the nominee, if you don't want us to give this election to hillary clinton, then i ask you to stand with us today. getting a jab in on trump. >> the political revolution is about bringing our people together. we do not allow the donald trumps of the world to divide us up. >> reporter: i spoke to cruz today amidst the hustle and bustle at his polling location in houston. >> this is a big day for you, right? >> i'm encouraged. >> reporter: he stopped to address the latest trump controversy. former ku klux klan leader david duke's endorsement of donald trump. >> bigotry and the klan has no place in public discourse, in politics, and i think anyone should have been willing to immediately denounce the klan. and it was unfortunate that he didn't do so. he's better than that. and he should have done that. >> donald trump, he joins us now

trump drops out, i can imagine donald trump. and i don't think that's going to happen as much as ted cruz would like that to happen. it's interesting. heading into his victory speech tonight, it was clear his message was going to be, i'm going to be beat donald trump. he had iowa, texas and oklahoma. that's three wins against donald trump. we got the race for minnesota. he had made his -- i guess victory speech, even though he hadn't won that state yet. the optics were change. i don't know if you noticed this. but rubio, again, made his speech before the race was called for him in minnesota. this was a big moment for him. this was his first victory of the 2016 cycle. an i didn't feel like he seized on this. and i think this is going to be the problem and question for marco rubio. when are you going to stop being the candidate who is the second choice for voters? the candidate who is waiting behind donald trump, perhaps behind ted cruz, as well, for the voters not interested in them the and that they can turn to marco rubio. his

trump. >> donald trump thinks vladimir putin's a great guy. trump talks admiringly of the way the chinese government cracked down on the chinese people in tiananmen square. donald trump as the nominee, if you don't want us to give this election to hillary clinton, then i ask you to stand with us today. >> reporter: even bernie sanders getting a jab in on trump. >> the political revolution is about bringing our people together. we do not allow the donald trumps of the world to divide us up. >> reporter: i spoke to cruz today amidst the hustle and bustle at his polling location in houston. >> this is a big day for you, right? >> i'm encouraged. >> reporter: he stopped to address the latest trump controversy. former ku klux klan leader david duke's endorsement of donald trump. >> bigotry and the klan has no place in public discourse, in politics, and i think anyone should have been willing to immediately denounce the klan. and it was unfortunate that he didn't do so. he's better than that. and he should have done that. >> donald trump, he joins u

i think donald trump's language in the course of these events and what he's done has set donald trump didn't create the divisions. he's exacerbating them. instead of using healing language, he's using language that incites. he's speaking to a group of voters that feel unheard of in washington, d.c. by the gop establishment on any issues. on trade, on jobs. a lot of different things. he's doing it in way that not bringing the party or the country together. >> bill kristol, how much has he been enabled by republicans themselves. who refused to take him on earlier? >> he's been considerably enabled. they were busy with the bush superpac, $120 million. how much of that was spent against donald trump? i think $5 million. $25 million against rubio. if rubio loses in florida, part campaign dropped $20 million of negative ads on him in florida. cruz and rubio spent more time fighting each other than trump. the failure to denounce trump. i think rub roe missed a huge chance at the end of the debate ten days ago, he could have said, look, when i took the pledge in august, i thought i could supp

trump. -- beat donald trump. [applause] i congratulate donald trump on his victory tonight. [booing] sen. cruz: but we are the only campaign that has beaten donald trump once, twice, three times. [applause] sen. cruz: 15 states have now voted. every one of those states so far has been won by either donald trump, or myself. [applause] republicans, together we have a choice. with a deep,d honorable, talented field. for the candidates who have not a state or wrapped up significant delegates, i ask you to consider our coming together and uniting. [applause] sen. cruz: for those who have supported other candidates, we welcome you on our team, standing united as one. [applause] sen. cruz: that is the only way to beat donald trump. [applause] head, our head to campaign beats donald trump resoundingly. [applause] sen. cruz: but for that to happen, we must come together. the republican primary voters in upcoming states, you, too, have a choice. in our nations the darkest hours, fdr told us we have nothing to fear but fear

is donald trump helped or hurt? >> i do not know whether any of this will hurt him in terms of his supporters. i know that to the extent there is an anti-trump movement, this is a galvanizing moment. there are many republicans who have thought donald trump would be -- would split the party in various ways. i think a lot of establishment republicans watching on friday, seeing how he has reacted, not only not apologizing but in sometimes inciting things to a greater degree. they may not be able to stop him that if there is a way, there are a lot of republicans saying we do not want a nominee who will lose the general election and insight this kind of violence in the street. --i think it will make him make it more likely that john kasich will when ohio. i think it will likely that the establishment will try to take the nomination away from him. john: i feel like for a lot of casual viewers, they already did not want trump but there is a sense of urgency now that was having seenfore, just the utter chaos and the way don

i know donald trump doesn't care. most americans are suffering here. >> dean, i have a question for you. just one question. >> go ahead. >> go ahead, katrina. >> what does the "i" in isis stand for? >> what does the west in the westboro baptist church stand for? >> it's about islam. what does the "i" in isis stand for? >> it doesn't matter what they call themselves. we're in this together. if donald trump would say let's unite together as americans against any kind of radical element, then he would have the support of us the same way president obama tries to build coalitions. that's the important thing. marco rubio made great points last night. donald trump needs to be better than this and he is not. >> you are absolutely right. we are in this together. >> final word, katrina. >> we are in this together. in order to solve this problem we have to acknowledge where the problem is coming from. we have to put american citizens in this country first, which means we have to have an honest discussion about what's happening w

>> donald trump is cleaning house. donald trump, 147 delegates so far donald trump. swamping ted cruz, marco rubio and john kasich. when you add in the contests we have already seen, here's where the race stands -- you got trump, 229. only 81 for cruz, 47 for marco rubio. this means -- look at this -- this is where they have to go. even if marco rubio were to win in his home state of florida, get all 99 delegate there is, win in ohio, he still would be >> what that means, matthew, what you're looking at these campaigns, the reasons these other candidates are staying in, it's not just about them getting the number but preventing donald trump from getting that nominee. >> the results of tonight not only shown donald trump dominating is to quote, the favorite bird's song, turn, turn, turn. their reason is to stay in this -- stop donald trump from getting to 1237. their goal, keep him under that and have a contested convention. >> think about that, keep him from getting a majority going into a convention. he would clearly have a huge lead going into a convention. somehow

look how donald trump is using twitter. look how donald trump is using twitter as he does. the call-ins he makes. he's been a master of that. but a lot of things have changed. we've gone from the age in 1960 of walter cronkite and teddy white to the age of john oliver and "saturday night live." it's a big, big change culturally. >> it is. thank you very much, david gergen. and "the race for the white house" premiered sunday night at 10:00. >>> next an american astronaut who just returned from space not just standing tall but taller. we'll be back. make you miserab. luckily, alka seltzer plus cold and cough liquid gels. rush liquid fast relief to your tough cold symptoms. fast, powerful liquid gels from alka seltzer plus hi i'm kristie. and i'm jess. and we are the bug chicks. we're a nano-business. windows 10 really helps us get the word out about how awesome bugs are. kids learn to be brave and curious and all kids speak the language of bug.

listening to donald trump there. really kind of praised the crowd, and issued a little criticism for bernie sanders' comments about bernie sanders saying he really needs to kind of temper the mood by talking to his supporters. all right. we'll continue to monitor donald trump's rally, and discuss with our panel on the other side of the break. we'll be right back. during the lexus command performance sales event...

mark: clearly, donald trump was on his mind. john: you see a wide range of potential motives here, one of which is creating some distance between the presidential race and what is going on for races. -- on the senate in the house side. there is a little bit of a pre-autopsy here. that could also be paul ryan uping himself -- set himself to be a white knight in a contested convention scenario. mark: anyone who cares about the politics of personal the structure and and is exposed to it wants to try to bring things into order and he is in a position where he can influence the public debates. i believe the first thing you said. he wants to create a substantive space for members to operate in, no matter who the nominee is, especially if they are donald trump. john: he will have to and mitch mcconnell and paul ryan know that, if donald trump is the nominee, there are a lot of congressmen and senators who run away from that ticket and he is trying to give them the alternative platform to the public platform that donald trump is filling

voting for donald trump. and if a voter reaches the same conclusion in ohio. that's what they'll do as well. >> are you joining forces with john kasich. >> i've never talked to john kasich about this. you asked me a question, i'm giving you my observation. clearly john kasich has a better chance of winning ohio than i do. if a voter in ohio concludes voting for john kasich gives us the best chance to stop donald trump there, i anticipate that's what they'll do. >> this race for the white house has been filled with lots of surprises, this being the most recent one. what is happening within the gop when they hear their candidate saying something like that. >> they're giving up. they're saying i want to face the guy i can beat. they're admits they can not stop donald trump. the problem is they wasted so much time kissing up to donald trump or dismissing him as a real option that they failed to actually run effective campaigns and now there's a good chance he's going to have most delegates even if he doesn't get

donald trump not win florida, and donald trump will not be the republican nominee. >> reporter: what is your road map to change florida and win in florida? what do you have to do? >> well, i know we know how to win elections in florida. and what we have to do is remind people what's happening with donald trump. i don't deny up to this point there are people that have been taken by his message. he's trying to exploit people that are hurting with this argument that he's fighting for the little guy. donald trump has never fought for the little guy. he's a guy that says he's tough on illegal immigration but he hired illegal immigrants to work on his trump towers to build it. he is a con artist and that's being exposed and you're seeing where he was up by huge margins in every poll and is pug off small victories and in theis -- >> reporter: but senator he's winning. he's winning delegates and winning states. winninwinning is what matters h. >> charlie, you have to get to 1,237 delegates. donald trump is not on track to do, that especially after tonight. when you get into the winner-take-a
