legislation. thank you. >> thank you so must have. thank you, everyone for watching. i will turn the mike over to wolf blitzer who's standing by. the program starts right now. hello. i'm wolf blitzer. it is noon in madison, wisconsin, 1:00 p.m. here in washington, d.c. wherever you are watching around the world, thank you for joining us. with we begin with the breaking news. president obama reacting to donald trump's plan to build a wal wall along the u.s. border with mexico to have mexico pay for it. cnn has obtained a two-page memo that has detailed trump's plan which includes seizing money sent from undocumented immigrants here in the united states. money sent back to their relatives, family, friends in mexico. a little while ago, the president was asked about trump's plan. >> i am getting questions

constantly from foreign leaders about some of the wackier suggestions that are being made. i do have to emphasize, it's not just mr. trump's proposals. you are also hearing concerns about mr. putin's proposals, which in some ways are just as draconian when it comes to immigration, for example. the implications, with respect to ending remittances which by the way are many are from legal immigrants and individuals who are sending money back to their families, are enormous. first of all, they are impractical. we just talked about the difficulties of trying to enforce outflows of capital. the notion we are going to track every western union, you know, bit of money that's being sent to mexico, you know, good luck with that. then we've got the issue of the

implications for the mexican economy, which in turn, if it is collapsing, actually sends more immigrants because they can't find jobs back in mexico. this is just one more example of something that is not thought true and primarily put forward for political consumption. as i've tried to emphasize throughout, we have serious problems here. we have big issues around the world. people expect the president of the united states and the elected officials in this country to treat these problems seriously, to put forth policies that have been examined and, analyzed, are effective, where unintended consequences are taken in to account. they don't expect half-baked notions coming out of the white house. we can't afford that. >> half-baked notions coming out of the white house.

let's get analysis and reporting on what we just heard. jim acosta is standing by. our white house correspondent michelle kosinski is with us and alison kosik is with us as well. michelle, you were in the white house when the president came out, not only speaking about donald trump on his own but brought ted cruz in the equation as well. he is increasingly speaking his mind about the national security, foreign policy views of these republican presidential candidates. >> even some of the words and phrases. half baked and wacky, hitting not just trump even though that is what the question was about but also cruz. in the beginning he didn't want to get involved. he was being diplomatic in the way he would phrase things. he would lump everybody in and not get specific. now he is more free wheeling in the way he responds. he says whenever he speaks to world leaders this is what comes

up. i thought what is interesting, the white house for a long time talk ed about this rhetoric among the republican candidates. . aly doing damage to the u.s.'s stachbding in the world calling it harmful potentially to national security. we asked the white house has some of that damage already been done in your opinion? because the white house keeps talking about that. and the press secretary said no. i don't think the damage what been done yet. today when the president was asked that question he immediately and unequivocally said yes. wolf? >> stand by. i want to bring in jim acosta who's been on the campaign trail reporting for us. jim, the trump campaign, i'm sure the cruz campaign, will probably not waste time in reacting to what we heard from the president. >> i think that is right, wolf. i think they welcome the comments from president obama quite frankly. you'll recall a couple of months ago, when i have sen stay fox

weighed in on how he thinks that mexico would never pay for a wall on the u.s. mexican border and donald trump used it at campaign stop after campaign stap stop. this is donald trump's reaction to months of criticism from people insided the beltway sighing you don't have a proposal for paying for the wall on the mexican border and this is the trump campaign saying here it is. it is worth reminding our viewers one of the top surrogates for donald trump is jeff sessions from alabama, fierce anti-immigration advocate and one of jeff session's top aides, the top policiedy advise for donald trump's campaign. not a huge surprise you heard the president go after the practicality of this. but i have to tell you from talking to people inside the trump campaign they feel this is feez able and you heard trump say that earlier this morning at a campaign stop here in wisconsin. here's what he had to say.

>> self explanatory. it is a fraction of the money in different ways that mexico takes in from the united states. a fraction. $10 billion wall. you are talking about a trade deficit with mexico $58 billion and probably going to get worse if they run it. if i run it there won't be a trade deficit. >> so a couple of things here with donald trump putting out the proposal. we are not talking about the messy leak over the last several days with his campaign manager and his comments on abortion and so fort and so on or the wall proposal and yes, this is getting everybody to talk about this. the key in milwaukee, wisconsin, other midwestern states people like the economic populous message than is something donald trump hopes will help him later at the ballot box later on today. if he can eke out a victory that

would have a huge impact on the campaign. >> alison kosik you are with us as well. the president made the comments in response to a question but he came in the briefing room at the white house to announce treasury department regulations to prevent american companies from setting up headquarters overseas to avoid paying taxes. explain what the president is now proposed? >> okay. so what the president proposed here is something that congress hasn't done yet. it is why we see the u.s. treasury stepping in with new regulations, trying to close loopholes that companies have been using to especially move headquarters overseas to avoid paying a higher tax rate. the u.s. has the highest tax rate at 35%. to give you an example, in ireland the tax rate is 12.5%. wa we have seen for many years now is we are seeing companies merging with other companies or moving their headquarters overseas so they can avoid

paying the higher tax rate. if they make a profit overseas, the american company and they want to bring it back to the u.s. they have to pay a total of 35% in that corporate tax rate. you are seeing the administration stepping in because what it means is the tax rolls are losing anywhere from $100 billion to $240 billion per year in tax revenue because these companies are moving their headquarters overseas and not paying the u.s. their taxes. case and point, a couple of years ago, burger king took over tim hortons. burger king moved their haerks to canada. they said it was a growth issue and not a tax issue. they are dodging one whopper of a tax bill, more than $400 million a year that burger kichk is avoiding paying in u.s. taxes now it moved the headquarters. >> not just burger king, a lot of american a companies are

taking advantage of what the president called a tax loophole. this loophole he calls corporate inversion. that's what a lot of people are calling it. interestingly enough, donald trump keeps talking about he will deal with the corporate inversion problems, as well, if he becomes the president of the united states. jim acosta, he speaks about corporate inversion in almost all of his stump speeches, doesn't he? >> he does. this is one of those issues where donald trump and president obama are 0 almost on the same page. but if you were to ask either side of the equation they would disagree with that. donald trump, this is one of his messages on the economy. he accuses corporations all the time of stashing their headquarters overseas so they can avoid paying taxes. absolutely. this is something that donald trump says he will do if he is elected president. he will rewrite trade rules and trade pacts with china, mexico and so forth. absolutely. on the tax inversion issue, it's

interesting to see donald trump and president obama on the same page here. >> the president points out in his statement that for three budgets in a row he's tried to get congress to eliminate the corporate inverges but he has failed. congress has not done so. he is hoping the department of treasury regulations will get the job done. thank you very much. right now the polls are open in wisconsin. voters are deciding what could be a major race on both sides. at stake, momentum. delegates an the chance of a contested convention, not only on the republican side, but if you listen to bernie sanders' supporters on the democratic side, as well. drak. pet food is committed to truth on the label. when we say real meat is the first ingredient, it is number one. and we leave out corn, wheat and soy. learn more at beyondpetfood.com

voting now underway in the wisconsin primary and the results could have major implications in the erase for the white house. the republican presidential front runner donald trump sounding confident during a stop at a diner earlier today. >> the poll s are busy, huh? >> they are busy. >> we could have a big surprise tonight, folks. big surprise. >> trump hopes to resume his march toward the nomination, but ted cruz is banking on a win to

stop trump's momentum. john kasich is trying to hang on until the convention despite calls by trump and cruz to drop out. 42 delegates are at stake for the democr the democrats. sanders is trying to build on his winning streak and the clinton campaign points to her lead in the race. they are competing for 86 delegates up for grabs. sanders says momentum is on his side and he says clinton is getting nervous. >> so don't tell her this, but i think we will win here and new york state and we are on the way to the white house. >> if there is a record-breaking turnout in wisconsin he will win. for a look at how it is going let's check in. polling place in green bay, wisconsin give us a sense of what you are seeing and hearing

from the voters. >> both bernie sanders and hillary clinton made the case that if turnout is high they will do well here. good fuse for both of those campaigns, turn out is high in the polling place where we are in green bay. 400 people have come through since 7:00 a.m. it usually gets 1600 and they expect more than that today. i talked to some of the voters here and voters say they are going for bernie sanders. i talked to one republican who said he crossed to the democratic side to vote for bernie sanders because he's a never trump guy. in wisconsin it is an open primary. you can choose whether to go republican or democrat. that is good news for bernie sanders as he tries to run up the score in hi wisconsin. hillary clinton has been lowering expectations here in this state all week long pointing out the state is one she lost to then senator barack obama in 2008 by double-digits. it is more white than average

state, which always helps bernie sanders. hillary clinton already kind of moving on to new york. she was on "the view." she tried to make a stand. 250 delegates at stake on april 19th. second only to california. she's trying to make sure she holds a double-digit lead she has against bernie sanders. of course bernie sanders looking to do well here today in wisconsin and take the momentum to the empire state, cutting in to hillary clinton's lead. he's down by 240 delegates and he needs 75% of the pledged delegates left to clinch that nomination. hillary clinton only needs 35%. the next big day on the primary calendar after today of course april 14th. that is five days before the crucial empire state primary where bernie sanders and hillary clinton will go one on one here on cnn with a big debate in brooklyn. that's the first time we have seen those two go head to head in more than a month. we will look forward to that and see if bernie sanders gets the bounce he's hoping for out of

wisconsin. wolf? >> we look forward to that debate a week from thursday in we'll be right back lynn. thank you very much. a look at what is at stake for the candidates right now. joining us, cnn political reporter and cnn political commentator, washington correspondent for the new yorker magazine. how important is tonight for donald trump if he were to lose wisconsin does that make a possibility of a contested convention in july more likely? >> it does. obviously his hope is to pick up some delegates tonight. he's talking about his po penn tenial surprise. i don't know if we will see that. what is interesting is that in another brilliant tactical move today by putting out another piece of his wall plan that he has talked about in the past. we are all talking about that instead of his horrible week last week with his abortion comments ante back and forth. so it is yet another reminder of

how well donald trump does in changing the subject when it is not working in his favor. ted cruz has a good operation in wisconsin. obviously the anti-trump forces are in there trying to help boost ted cruz to victory. and we will see what happens tonight. >> what could also happen and maybe this explains in part why donald trump seems to be so up beat that he may win in wisconsin it is an open contest. meaning independents, democrats can crossover. they can vote on the republican side. that's been a source of big support for him. by the way, also a big support for bernie sanders. who also appeals to the nontraditional democratic base if you will. >> i think that is a good point. that along with the fact we have seen a lot of primary polling that has not been accurate. it means we should be cautious about how much ted cruz has put this away. i would be looking tonight for

the delegate margin, not so much -- that's the number you want to know, how many delegates does ted cruz win. at the end of the night, you want to know the percentage of remaining delegates that donald trump will need to get to that magic number to win the nomination with the majority of delegates. he's going in to this race tonight having won less than 50% of the total delegates so far. needing to win somewhere in the mid 50s, 54%, depending on the count of the remaining delegates. if ted cruz wins the majority of the 42 up for grabs tonight, trump has to win close to 60% of the remaining delegates going forward from now until june 7th. he won less than 50. so hitting 60% is a tall order. if ted cruz has a big night tonight, the story will be that most projections will say that donald trump will come up short and we will go to a contested

convention. big night, big tipping point for the race tonight. >> maeve, the campaign nrg for the hillary clinton campaign wrote a memo saying hillary clinton's delegate lead insurmountable and he said sanders' path to the nomination involves a combination of flipping pledge delegates an convincing super delegates he deserves their support despite the fact that hillary won 58% of the popular vote and the majority of pledged delegates thus far. what do you think of his argument? >> i think he is right. the math very clearly is on hillary clinton's side. bernie sanders has a huge uphill task going in to the upcoming primaries. tonight in wisconsin, of course i will the delegates are proportional. they may both end up creeping up some. bernie sanders needs a strong night tonight in wisconsin for

momentum purposes. purely for momentum purposes. he's been talking about how his campaign has extraordinary momentum, winning rekren contests a he is hoping if they win tonight they can zoom in to new york, other or and california with the wind in their sails. so he's got a lot on the line. if he does not do well tonight, this race will really look like it is winding down. at the same time, there's so much energy on his side. he's cleaning up in terms of those campaign donations and obviously that is frustrating the clinton campaign. >> thank you very much. democratic national committee chair debbie wasserman schultz will join us life. we will talk about the race and what's at stake for the democratic party and the next democratic presidential debate. i will be hosting that debate. it will be here on cnn. it is going to be in brooklyn

take a look at this. live pictures from inside of a polling station in green bay, wisconsin. both parties holding crucial primaries in wisconsin today.

some of the candidates like hillary clinton and john kasich are looking beyond wisconsin and focusing on april 19th for the primary in new york state. i'm joined by peter king of new york. thank you for joining us. have you decided who you are going to vote for? >> no. i have been supporting marco rubio. he is obviously no longer running. i can tell you i would never vote for ted cruz. right now, i'm holding back. i don't think it would serve a purpose for me to announce right now. i'm like a bouncing ball in and out. i will wait closer to the 19th. >> it is trump or kasich, right? no way you could stomach cruz in the white house. it will be one of the others, right? >> yeah. listen, personally, i have known

john kasich. i worked with him in the house. he was an outstanding congressman and very good governor but we have to see who has the best chance of winning and what's going to happen. i would say john kasich has shoes shown the most so far in the campaign as far as his qualifications, his positions. but again, you know we will see what happens between now and the 19th. as far as i know, i can think far back. i don't think we had primaries in new york, republican side until 1980. this is the first time a republican primary in new york has meant anything. usually by the time it hits new york the race is over. this is, i can tell you already, just within ten miles of my home we have had john kasich was in all day yesterday. donald trump is coming in wednesday. this is going to go on the next two weeks. it's bringing a level of primary excitement to new york on the republican side that we have never had before. it is an interesting experience.

>> new york will be very important on the democratic and republican side. a lot of revenue for the media markets in new york whether down or upstate. i'm sure it will help the economy with the campaign commercials you will be hearing next two weeks. thereon secretary of state john kerry talking about the reaction he is getting from overseas to the u.s. election. >> i'm confident in the american people will choose wisely. i feel as if it's current craziness that is embarrassing our country abroochld i can not tell you, every meeting i have everywhere, what is happening in the united states? >> president obama said something similar a few minutes ago if you were watching cnn. you meet with a lot of foreign leaders. are they telling you the same thing, they think it is crazy what is going on in the united states? i think they are referring to the republican contest.

>> obviously, there's talk. in all fairness, president obama was running in 2008, he was to me very much hurting the image of the u.s. as far as accusing president bush of carrying out torture, killing innocent people. this whole u.s. -- u.s., in effect implying our policies brought on these attacks. senator was bringing down the reputation of the united states in 2008. may not have caused foreign leaders to be concerned because they have anti-american or begrudging attitude toward the u.s. and president obama adds to that and i thought it was damaging to the country. >> excuse me for interrupting, i remember covering the 2008 campaign when he went to europe, he was very warmly received. they liked what he was saying, right? >> right, they liked him because

he was downing the united states. he was degrading his own country. that made foreign leaders feel good. it is not a question of winning the approval of foreign leaders. having said that, i do agree that candidates have to watch what they say and can't with just be saying, turning our backs on different countries and i guess they are talking about donald trump in particular. you have to watch what you say. this does have a consequence. so for instance he was talking about nuclear weapons with south korea and japan. that can have consequences. remarks made about certain countries, about nato for instance, that can have an adverse impact on the u.s. as far as causing uncertainty. i would say the last several years, president obama's poli policies have caused controversy, the way he was going to take action with a red line in syria and he didn't. that caused damage to american credibility. >> the president is about to get a recommendation, we're told from the joint chiefs that more troops should be deployed, special operations forces,

others to deal with the threat from isis, whether in iraq or syria. are you with him if he signs off on that recommendation? >> i would support the joint chief's recommendation, but if the president is going to imply memt it he has to do it. he can't say he's going to and then give a time line to get out. the way he did with the surge in afghanistan. back in the end of 2009 when he put a time limit on it. that showed the enemy we were not that serious and sort of going to do it one hand behind our back and causes our allies not to take us as seriously. they feel the president can can't wait to get in and out again. if he is going to do it he has to make a full commitment and not apologize for it or talk about us getting out. i want our troops out as quickly as possible but you don't show the enemy when you are going to get out. don't give the enemy the

indication you are getting out. we want support. they need to know we will be in to do what has to be done and not cut and run. >> peter kink king, congressman from long island. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. see you in new york. >> i will be there. a week from thursday. got the democratic presidential debate in brooklyn. i don't know if you get to we'll be right back lynn but awe lovely borough. >> i went to high school in brooklyn. >> thank you very much. president obama has addressed the scandal surrounding the so-called panama papers. he made the comments during a statement about the importance of basic tax enforcement. listen to this. >> we have had another reminder in this big dump of data coming out of panama that tax avoidance is a big global problem. it not unique to other countries because, frankly, there are folks here in america who are taking advantage of the same stuff.

>> the scandal has not claimed the first political casualties. the prime minister of iceland has resigned. coming one day after he walked out of an interview when questions were asked about the scandal. he is one of the 100 politicians named in the panel of paemps leaked which reveal his ties to an off-shore banks. why did the republican front runner stumping there and the democratic front runner is not? we will discuss that and more with our panel. and record voter turnout. stick around. you premium like clockwork. month after month. year after year. then one night, you hydroplane into a ditch. yeah... surprise...

your insurance company tells you to pay up again. why pay for insurance if you have to pay even more for using it? if you have liberty mutual deductible fund™, you could pay no deductible at all. sign up to immediately lower your deductible by $100. and keep lowering it $100 annually, until it's gone. then continue to earn that $100 every year. there's no limit to how much you can earn and this savings applies to every vehicle on your policy. call to learn more. switch to liberty mutual and you could save up to $509. call liberty mutual for a free quote today at see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance.

decision day if wisconsin. returning to live pictures from

a polling place in brookfield, wisconsin them outcome should be shaped. 86 delegates at stake for the democrats and 2 fand 42 for republicans. we so, is wisconsin a must win right now for cruz? >> yes. i would say it is for ted cruz. >> if he doesn't win wisconsin, what happens? >> i think that's the beginning of the end here. >> why? >> because i think donald trump has enough momentum that if he does win wisconsin and i would say not only does ted cruz have to win it but the expectation, he was ten points ahead, if he

comes in five, four, three points ahead that's still a problem. >> trump keeps saying all morning. last night he kept saying get ready for a surprise. he thinks he will do great in wisconsin. your fingers on the tea leaves over there, what do you think? >> i don't know about the tea leaves but he is bounced back if an awfully bad week last week. never thuls, his average in every primary is 35%. he is stuck at a third of the vote. so the question is does kasich grow enough to take enough votes from cruz that cruz comes down to trump's level? i don't think so. i think cruz is going to win this evening, but not enough to change the dynamic of the race. he's not going to come out of this with a big bump. cruz is the escort you hire to go to your high school class reunion when you can't get a date. that's the only reason the republicans are turning to him

right now. >> you heard congressman king say he is not going to tell us who he will vote for except that he can't vote for ted cruz. >> there's a lot of that going around. one of the things we may learn after all of these primaries and caucuses is that voters have expressed their will. they don't want any of these candidates to get 1237 votes. >> that's the notion i have heard lately from some of the supporters of donald trump that going ahead to new york, pennsylvania, some of the other states, new jersey, they are more worried about what kasich could do in drawing away votes than cruz. that's why they want kasich to drop out. >> yeah. i think that's right. one of the most interesting things is the notion that, you know, if kasich drops out then all of the votes will go to either one of those candidates. if kasich drops out there's no representative of what we would call the establishment of the republican party. donald trump and ted cruz, to

me, are very similar. we are talking about the same guy. ted cruz wanted policeman to control neighborhoods. they are not that dissimilar when it comes to policy positions. >> listen to donald trump speaking about wie he believes, despite the mistakes he made the past week on women-related issues he still thinks he will do well with women voters. listen to this. >>. >> i guess we don't have that sound byte but i will read it to you. it says this, i will try to do it -- >> don't do it. >> we just had a big meeting. many women at the meeting they like me the best because i'm best with the border and security and i said i'm going to be better with women's health issues. much better than hillary or anyone else. i think we are going to do fantastically well with women. the polls don't show that, do

they? >> at the moment, they do not. but the thing i would caution is, we saw this with the evangelicals. everyone said ted cruz would sweep the evangelicals. donald got a good share and the reason is they didn't vote as van jell calls but americans concerned about their education, housing, the economy, that sort of thing. i have to believe there are a lot of women that have the same approach. they are concerned about the economy, terrorism, concerned about whether they have a job 0 or not and he appeals. >> do you agree? >> yes, but they are scared of him. donald trump has these predator instincts. he eats whatever is in front of him. he can be so reckless. and even when you agree with him, you are scared, oh, my god, even ann coulter said it is like bailing your 16-year-old out of

prison. he did something about that. he said he had to do the heidi cruz thing over again he wouldn't do that. >> very quickly, how do you see bernie sanders, hillary clinton playing out tonight in wisconsin? >> well, bernie sanders is clear areally ahead. i think the reality of this electorate is it is a little younger. 18% people of color in 2012. 11% in 2008 and in the general. i think that just like every other democratic primary -- it will be interesting. one flag i would offer is we expect this time, because of the strict voter i.d. requirements there maybe up to 300,000 voters disenfranchised in this election. >> just in wisconsin. >> just in wisconsin. >> because they have to show photo i.d. >> we don't know how that will play out. >> stand by. we are never going to go away from this exciting story.

coming up, much more on the hillary clinton versus bernie sanders. they are locked in a tight race in wisconsin. just heard from angela. sanders come cans out on top, he has won last six 0 of the seven contest and his party predicts the party maybe headed to an open convention as well. she is joining us live after this. if you have medicare

live pictures coming in. they're voting in we isconsin. the democratic race, by all accounts in the polls, very, very close right now. the candidates have agreed, though, on one thing, they've agreed on another debate. debby wasserman shuttles is joining us. she's the congresswoman from florida as well. she's joining us from miami. congresswoman, thanks very much for joining us. that debate is going to be a week from thursday, april 14th, in brooklyn. it will air here on cnn. it will also air on new york one. i'll be moderating. it will be a very exciting important debate.

let's talk about the possibility, we've spoken about the possibility of a republican contested convention, an open convention, but what about the possibility that there could be an open convention among the democrats in philadelphia in july? listen to bernie sanders campaign manager, what he said earlier today on cnn's "new day." >> if you look at the math, if you want to talk about math, the truth is, is that it is very, very, very unlikely either candidate, either secretary clinton or senator sanders, will go into the convention with the majority needed of pledge delegates in order to win. >> i want to get your reaction to that. what's the scenario that neither candidate will get 2383 delegates needed to clinch the nomination? >> well, i don't have a direct reaction to that because each campaign is saying whatever they feel like they need to say to motivate their supporters and that fits with whatever their strategy is. but our expectation at the democratic national committee is that our nominee will go to the

convention before the end of the primary nominating contests, with the majority of the pledge delegates that are available during the normal primary and caucus contests. >> will that pledge delegate count meet that magic number of 2,383? >> that's our expectation, wolf, is that before the end of the primaries and caucuses, all the way through to the beginning to mid-june, by that time, i expect that one of our two candidates will have a majority of the available pledge delegates and that there will not be a contested convention. >> and so you won't really need the super delegates, what, there's about 600 or 700 superdelegates, you want need them to weigh in, is that what i'm hearing? >> 719 unpledged delegates and they have up until the actual convention to make a decision on who they'll vote for and they have never made a difference in

deciding who our nominee is and i don't expect them to now. i think the nominee will ultimately be selected by pledge delegates that were selected by voters. >> i know the republicans a week before the convention, their convention, in cleveland, they meet their rules committee, they come up with whatever rules they want. is it the same thing on the democratic side? >> no, our rule, our delegate selection process and the rules established for our convention really are pretty much in place. our rules committee for the convention does meet, but they only meet if there's an issue that arises during the process, so -- and the credentials committee as well. the rules committee meets, but we have basically everything already set and we run things the way they've been run for many years. just to make sure that everyone understands, on the so-called super delegates, we actually in 2008 and before that had over

1,000 unpledged delegates and after the '08 election you'll remember jim clyburn, my colleague in congress, led the change commission, which ultimately, under my tenure, pared down the number of unpledged delegates to only 15% of the total. so now it's even less likely that it was before they could actually make a difference in the outcome. >> you like having those superdelegates as part of the democratic presidential nominating process? >> you know, it's not a matter of like or dislike, they are part of a process, but our nominee has always been selected by the pledged delegates who were selected by voters and pipe matters and caucuses and that's my expectation going into this convention. >> quickly because we don't have a whole lot -- >> on the other hand -- >> go ahead. >> well, wolf, on the other hand, what the expectation the week before we meet in philadelphia is that in cleveland the republicans are going to be in utter chaos and, you know, every morning on your network i hear another -- heard

tommy thompson this morning talking about, you know, ultimately the convention on the republican size would select john kasich. they're selecting whether paul ryan, you know, the speaker of the house could be brought in as a last-minute savior. i think it's going to be possible that the republican party isn't the republican party that we know by the time they get to the end of this presidential election because they're in such civil war with one another. and they've got -- with good reason, you know, the bed they've made, that -- they are lying in the bed they've made. they've got donald trump who is questioning whether people should invest in the stock market, has no concept of what the impact of nuclear proliferation will be. has three different positions on a woman's right to make her own reproductive choices on abortion in a single day, in a matter of hours. to say nothing of ted cruz and john kasich who all are really in the same place on the most extreme end of the republican party which is the furthest thing from where americans are

and ultimately our party's nominee when they are elected at our convention in july will be the 45th president of the united states. >> debbie wasserman schultz is the share of the dnc, she's a congresswoman from florida, thank you very much, congresswoman, for joining us. that's it for me. thank you very much for watching. begins with knee pain, when... hey brad, wanna trade the all day relief of two aleve for six tylenol? what's the catch? there's no catch. you want me to give up my two aleve for six tylenol? no. for my knee pain, nothing beats my aleve.
