his differences with hillary clinton and wall street, and it's a divide that could put illinois and ohio in play, two of the crucial democratic contests next week. clinton meanwhile is trying to assure democrats that she's as committed to economic opportunity as sanders. >> i will work every single day to make a difference in your lives. to knock down the barriers that stand in your way. >> reporter: clinton maintains a significant edge in the nomination delegate count, thanks to her victory margins with africans in southern states and in mississippi tuesday night. still the former secretary of state is not getting the early sanders knockdown that they had are on she had been hoping for, and it all means that the start of a clinton general election battle will have to wait. >> hillary is going to be very easy to beat. she's a very flawed candidate.

is wait a minute, we don't want this person to be president. on the democratic side, their crisis is different. they had a presumptive nominee, and they were talking about the closest opponent, bernie sanders, dropping out after michigan. and in fact, he won michigan. and so it goes to the clinton campaign, and whether or not the presumptive nominee is going to be that, and if the party can withstand a bernie sanders candidacy. a lot of the them are saying we don't necessarily want to send him to the big dance, especially when it's donald trump or ted cruz. and the majority is saying, this is exactly what we want to send, and states like ohio, they mirror a rust belt state like michigan. and their makeup is largely union in a lot of the towns, but clinton does well in the big cities, and looking next week to ohio, they hope that it's only a six-day crisis for

the clinton campaign because they hope to do well in ohio. but the polling in michigan, an 18-point advantage to hillary clinton. >> let's not talk about the polling, and senator rubio, why is he staying in the race, particularly given the latest results. >> you sound like a rubio donor, and a lot of them are saying this. whether or not it's a smart thing for rubio to stay in the race. 23 he gets out, a lot of them who don't like to have are going to support ted cruz, but rubio is staying in the way of trump losing florida. that's not the case. he says if he wins here in the state of florida, then the nomination is up for grabs, and the person he said last night, the person who wins florida is going to be the nominee of the party. a lot of people are saying getting out of the race, and
