together some very big wins and not just wins on the republican side the issue is slowing down. they have tried it in the past and the big question today what happens in florida what happens in ohio winner-take-all states where it is so crucial. in florida right now we can comfortably say as the polls closed at donald trump has been marco rubio in his home state again by roughly the margin that the polls had so again a big blow to marco rubio. he said he was confident he would win the stated he was saying to me earlier he was confident that he would go on even without florida. it was pointed out no republican has been nominated without winning florida furs so it's a bit of a catch-22 weathered he goes on to campaign is anyone's guess. his staff has reportedly recommended with the laws he may want to call it quits.

in the alumni we have donald trump slightly leading ted cruz rate again we are not comfortable making a call here. this is more like a winner take more state. it can be winner-take-all for the way the awarding of delegates goes with redistricting and the like but at this point it's too close to call. missouri of course donald trump and ted cruz in what appears to be quite a close contest and this is a state that ted cruz in the last few weeks has placed a great deal more in the last two days reaching into his campaign schedule to make good use of what is in a surge in polls there. now to the democrats in florida we can say no surprise the polls say hillary clinton will win there. in illinois is simply too close to call. in missouri we have bernie sanders with a slight lead. now we are shellshocked that we jump the gun and declare anyone

a winner at this point. in one poll 30 points losing that state. bernie sanders surprising efforts he still left that evening with fewer delegates gained than hillary clinton and that's why it's important for her not just to win but win big and too close that delegate map that favored hillary clinton. we have so much more to get into in the next four hours. that's okay. i have my buddy lou dobbs in the studio making his way shortly and maria both aroma -- trish we begin with you. coming out as expected thus far? >> so far we anticipated the trump in fact take florida as he did by quite a wide margin. there has been question as to

why marco rubio stuck to florida and there's some expectation you may get out ahead of time and does he get out tonight? is tonight the night that he says i'm going to hang this up wax clinton also expected to win in florida. neil: you have to wonder marco rubio is sending two different messages. even if i don't win my home state of going to go on and keep writing and in the same breath saying it's true that republican republican -- no republican has gone on to win the nomination without winning florida. >> it's true that he has in so many words told of some port in florida is which strikes me about the backdrop of all of this. when you look at the contest the economy in each of those states are doing pretty well, florida 5% unemployment rate around the national average for the 15.9 million floridians who are of voting age 12 million are registered to vote and the electorate slightly older and it is more likely to be more

hispanic than the voting electorate of the entire country. they have said in exit polls over the last couple of months in monmouth earlier this month found 35% republicans did not approve of the way rubio handled his job in florida. lou: is that right? it's not you know donald trump's home state but every other golf course there is his so he does have a distinct advantage. but what you make of that and what message it sends marco rubio if he does fight on? what do you think? lou: i personally neil cannot imagine he could take things from here. it would be bad for him. the arithmetic does not work for him and he would look like nothing less than the show with the establishment gop to do so trying as hard as they can to stop trump. i think it would look bad.

i think this is a man who knows he has been whipped and he shows it in every public appearance. there is no need to continue this kind of pain for anyone. it is inhumane in fact so i can see it happening for the senator be on tomorrow. neil: so you think he goes on to fight another day. lou dobbs thank you very much. i do want to go to karl cheney and rubio headquarters in miami. they hoped this would be like a michigan phenomenon where the polls would miss it and what looked like a big lead for donald trump would dissipate as it did for hillary clinton. >> they were maintaining it among the campaign and the candidate himself at the last minute for the public poll is wrong with all the usual things that you hear from political campaigns. a small intimate gathering with

some longtime friends and now we hear the marco chance. we don't know what these going to do when he comes out to speak to the crowd in florida. before being allowed into the arena itself the basketball arena is much bigger and -- isn't he so maybe that tells you a little bit about what's going on with this campaign. i was milling around about floor before he came out talking to some of the supporters and the conversations amongst the people they were assuming before was called that what did they do? where do they go with their support and man or woman, they told me they could not support donald trump under any circumstance. these are the most ardent rubio supporters but a number of them said they would consider ted cruz as an alternative so they are starting to think that they will do next even though rubio has not announced what he will do next so we will see when he comes out. he goes to utah to campaign tomorrow and a lot of people are

doubtful about that assertion. neil: the senator was saying i can understand how a graphing you don't want to look like you're in a position of weakness but i'm also told we are hearing reports that many of the staff said look it's over, boss. and a sentiment they are being expressed? >> among the supporters i talked to a guy it's interesting a middle school, he went to middle school with marco rubio and high school and played high school football as well and i asked what should he do and he said whatever you want. if he wants to get out he should get out. if he wants to keep going i will keep campaigning for him. that's pretty much sums up the sound of supporters and i said many of them are starting to think about who would they support. could they picture themselves supporting cruz and some set may be. we heard from them a number of times yesterday and not much today coming out of rubio campaign.

neil: we will be going back to you. that victory for donald trump picks up 99 delegates so with the 90 he picked up in the northern mariano islands they came in first this morning. they had no electoral votes in the general election. side votes are important and of course with the 99 picked up, 108 for donald trump a third of the delegates up for grabs a little bit less than that in donald trump as already won them , bringing his overall count close to 600. and we have just gotten going here. ohio is a bit of a problematic one to call. we call. we have the governor kasich in a slight lead. there are separate reports where we are getting delayed results and there might be problem at polling stations delaying the telling results. to jeff at with the latest from kasich headquarters. >> i got the latest feel on

those delays. they are here in cincinnati and they will keep -- i'm getting the latest numbers as we speak here, additional counties are going to stay open until 8:30. they are the counties of butler claremont hamilton and warren. as you no ohio geography that is near cincinnati. we are told that something to do with the traffic rob him in the area. not clear in what that is but those polls will stay open until 8:30. we will get delayed results there. i have county results coming in right now this looking favorable for governor kasich reviews doing well and the counties in which he has to do well. specifically places like counties outside of columbus and of course the governor lives near columbus. the area were donald trump is doing well is youngstown area steel mills have shut down blue-collar guys out of work

whose trade message he is resonating with. he is doing well there's the both of them doing well in their counties. they need to do well it is there are more of those counties were kasich right now. just look at the latest numbers. the latest is 47-34 trump in that county but that's a place that has to do well. how many? 196,000 votes counted thus far, 44-32 latest numbers from the ohio secretary of state's office. the other thing i just want to talk about is if we get to a win tonight for governor kasich a lot of people here are asking the question what is his strategy going forward? that's what everybody wants to hear from him tonight if in fact he does pull off the win, where do you go from here governor? this is great but where do you go from here? neil: where do you go from here with 66 delegates and you pick

them all up in ohio. we have already said that donald trump is staring at about 600 right now. >> exactly. the point for kasich if he were to win but to be just a row the number of delegates for trump. that's what he can do perhaps leading to a brokered convention that more than that we know he's not getting the nomination because you went ohio. if he doesn't win ohio almost sure he dropped out of this race. the number one issue for all high winds 44.9% unemployment rate the average income of that lower than the median of the country. >> trish on looking at this is governor kasich wins it you would argue you are now in my territory talking about expansion annoint down the road wisconsin and cobbling together states like these but if there is no follow-through if it's a one and am ohio attend what has he to outside of maria's point

slow the momentum down? >> i don't think he can do anything. he can hope we can get some of these northern states but it's questionable he's going to succeed beyond ohio if he does win it. his whole goal is to stop trump. that is what he is trying to do and he's hoping if he can get this one and maybe get pick off a few others here and there they can prevent trump from getting to the 1237 he can slow down this entire process and it reopens everything and changes the game. neil: marco rubio coming out to address supporters right now. he did not win his home state. let's listen in. >> i want to begin by thanking all of you here today and i want you to know i am the beneficiary of the best group of supporters, the hardest working people i have ever been associated with. thank you and not just here in florida. [applause] not just here in florida but around the country.

i love you too. [applause] i want you to know that you worked as hard not just here but all over the country and i want to talk to people in iowa and new hampshire and south caroline and the great state of minnesota where one and the territory of puerto rico. [applause] we had a great team and we have a great team and i'm so grateful for the help you have given us. i want to know there's nothing more you could have done. he worked as hard as anyone work and i want you to know we worked as hard as we ever could. while america is in the middle of a political storm a real tsunami and we should have seen it coming that people are angry and people are very frustrated. it really began back in 2007/ 2008 with this horrifying downturn. don't worry he won't get beat up at our events. [applause] people are very frustrated about

the direction of our country. [chanting] thank you, thank you. people are frustrated. 2,072,008 there was a horrible downturn in our economy and these changes to our economy that are happening are disrupting peoples lives and people are very upset about it and they are told that you know people are angry and they are frustrated and being left behind by this economy and they are told look if you are against illegal immigration that makes you a bigot and if you see jobs and businesses leaving to other countries you have no right to be frustrated area they see america involved in the world and american spending money and losing their lives and they see there is little gratitude for all the sacrifice america makes. there are millions of people this country that are tired of being looked down upon, tired of being told by self-proclaimed

elitist that they don't what they are talking about and they need to listen to the so-called smart people. i know all these issues first-hand. i have lived paycheck to paycheck. i grew up paycheck to paycheck. i know what it's like to have you figure out the money to fix the air conditioner that broke last night that i know my parents struggle that i know millions of people are doing that. i know immigration in america is broke in. no one understands this issue better than i do. my parents are immigrants. my grandparents were immigrants jeanette's parents were immigrants. i live in a community of immigrants and i've seen the good comes about an ugly but has battled against the so-called elite the people that think i have to wait my turn or it was in our cancer was in our time. i understand all of these frustrations and yet when i decided to run for president i decided to run a campaign that was realistic about all of these challenges but also one that was

optimistic about what lies ahead for our country. i know we have a right to enforce immigration laws but we also have to have a realistic approach to fix fix it. i know we are living to through this extraordinary economic transformation that has disrupted peoples lives. machines are replacing them in their pay is not enough. i know it's disruptive but i also know this new economy is incredible opportunity. i know america can't solve all of the worlds problems but i also know when america doesn't lead it leaves behind a vacuum and that vacuum leads to chaos and most of all i know first-hand that ours is a special nation because where you come from here doesn't decide where you get to go. the son of a bartender and they made that's how i decide i in fact two can run for president of the united states of america. [applause] so from a political standpoint

from a political standpoint the easiest thing to have done this campaign is to jump on all of the anxieties i just talked about, to make people angry or and make people more frustrated but i chose a different route and i'm proud of that. [applause] that would have been in a yearln the easiest way to win but that is not what is best for america. the politics of resentment against other people will not just leave us a fractured party but it will leave us a fractured nation. they will leave us as a nation where people literally hate each other as they have different political opinions. we find ourselves at this point is not surprising that the warning signs up in here for close to a decade. in 2010 the tea party carried me and others into office. that tea party wave gave republicans a majority in the house but nothing changed.

2014 the same voters gave republicans a majority in the senate and still nothing changed. i blame some of that on the conservative movement a movement that is supposed to be about our principles and our ideas but i play most of the on our political establishment. [applause] a political establishment that for far too long has look down at conservatives as simpleminded people, look down on conservatives as simple bomb throwers a political establishment that effort far too long is taken of those at conservatives him for granted in a political establishment that has used cronyism for capitalism and big business for free enterprise. i endeavored over the last couple of months to bridge this divide within our party and our country because i know after eight years of barack obama this nation needs a vibrant and growing conservative movement

and it needs a strong republican party to change the direction now of this country for many of the things that are going wrong and america will become permanent and many of the things that make us a special counter will be gone. america needs a vibrant conservative movement, one that's built on principles and ideas not on fear, not on anger, not on preying on people. [applause] a conservative movement, a conservative movement that believes in the principles of our constitution that protects our rights and limits the power of government, a conservative movement committed to the free enterprise the only economic model where everyone can climb without anyone falling. our conservative movement that believes in a strong national defense and the conservative movement that believes in a strong judeo-christian values that are the formation of our nation. [applause]

but we also need a new political establishment in our party, not one that looks down on people that live outside of the district of columbia, not one that tells you and people they need to wait their turn and wait in line and not one that is more interested in winning elections than it is in solving problems are standing by principles. [applause] and this is the campaign we have run, campaign that is realistic about the challenges we face but optimistic about the opportunities before us. a campaign that recognizes the difficulties we face but also one that believes that we truly are on the verge of a new american century and a campaign to be president, a campaign to be a president that would love all of the american people. [applause] even the ones that don't love you back. [applause] this is the right way forward for our party. this is the right way forward

for our country but after tonight it is clear that while we are on the right side this year we will not be on the winning side. i take great comfort in the ancient words which teach us that in their hearts humans planned their course but the lord establishes their steps. and so while this may not have been the year for a hopeful and optimistic message about our future i still remain hopeful and optimistic about america. [applause] and how can i not? how can i not? my mother was one of seven girls born to a poor family her father was disabled as a child varied a struggle to provide for them his entire life. my mother told us a few years ago she never went to bed hungry growing up but she knows her parents did so they wouldn't have to.

she came to this country in 1956 with little education, no money and no connection. my parents struggled their first years here and they were discouraged. even thought about going back to cuba at one point but they persevered. they never became rich. i didn't inherit any money from my parents. they never became famous. yet i consider my parents to be very successful people because in this country working hard as a bartender and they made, they owned a home and a retired with dignity. in this country they live to see all for their children live better off than themselves and in this country on this day my mother who is now 85 years old was able to cast a ballot for her son to be the president of the united states of america. [applause]

[chanting] and so while it is not god's plan that i be president in 2016 or maybe ever and well today my campaign is suspended the fact that i have even come this far is evidence of how special america truly is. and all the reason more of why we must do all we can to ensure that this nation remains a special place. i asked the american people do not give in to the fear. did not give in to the frustration. we can disagree about public policy. we can disagree about its vibrant way, passionately but we are a hopeful people and we have every right to be hopeful for we in this nation are the descendents of go-getters.

in our veins runs the blood of people who gave it all up so we would have the chance. we are the descendents of someone who made the future the purpose of their lives. we are the descendents of pilgrims. we are the descendents of settlers. we are the descendents of men and women who headed west in the great plains not knowing what awaited them. we are the descendents of slaves who overcame the horrible institution to stake a claim in the american dream. we are the descendents of immigrants and exiles who knew and believed they were destined for more than there was only one place on earth where that was possible. this is who we are and by this fight to ensure that this is who we remain for if we lose that about our country we will still be rich and we will still be powerful but we will now longer be special. and so i'm grateful to all of you that work so hard for me. i truly am. i'm grateful to my family, to my

wife jeanette who has been phenomenal in this campaign. [applause] to my four kids who have been extraordinary in this campaign. [applause] and i want you to know that i will continue every single day to search for ways for me to repay some of the extraordinary debt that i owe this great country and i want to leave with an expression of gratitude to god and his hands all things lie he has a plan for everyone of our lives. everything that comes from god is good. god is perfect. god make no mistakes and he has things planned for all of us. we await eagerly to see what lies ahead. and so i leave tonight with one final prayer, and i use the

words of king david because i remain grateful to god. yours oh lord is the greatest in the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty and everything that is in the heavens and the earth yours is the dominion and you exalt yourself overall over riches and honor come from you and you rule overall and in your hand is power and might and it lies in your hands and makes great and to strengthen everyone. may god strengthen our people, may god strengthen our nation, may god strengthen the conservative movement may god strengthen the republican party in may god strengthen our eventual nominee and may god always bless and strengthen this great nation the united states of america. thank you. thank you very much. [appla

neil: his opportunity he says has come and gone. whether he has ruled out a running-mate possibility, i can't envision that. newt gingrich said the republican party won't be able to stop trump now. usual arguing even in the event of a split john kasich take ohio. >> that was a gracious way for marco rubio to suspend his campaign and a reminder of how

articulate and attractive he is and why so many people thought he had a chance to be one of the youngest nominees in american history. neil: he was very eloquent. >> wrong year, wrong moment. he has a great future. i knew hip before he was speaker of the house. i think he will be back again if he want to be. he has a tremendous capacity for leadership. he's very, very smart. two thing happened. because jeb decided to run, from the very beginning florida was split and that hurt hip. i believe that the bush super pac spent more money attacking rubio than they spent attacking donald trump. so he had a lot of head wind there. rubio is a naturally optimistic positive cheerleader for freedom and for america in a year when

anger and toughness were higher values for the voters. but my pro deck is you will see more of him in the future. he's an extraordinarily talented person. i hope he will take this as part of the process of learning. neil: you might know the mechanic of this. marco rubio had 163 delegate going into the night. are they committed to even a suspended campaign? what do you think? >> he can't deliver them per se. but by suspending and not ending his campaign. those delegates are bound to him. on the first ballot he could be be the margin if trump gets close but not there. between kasich and rubio you have people who may be the balance of power in negotiating between cruz and trump.

but the point i want to make over and over to people, there are only two [applause] able nominees coming out of tonight. their fir names are donald and ted. there isn't going to be a brokered convention or someone he morning at the convention. you won't have washington types intervening. this is an enormous massive process. millions of votes are being cast. kasich could easily be in position to be the vice presidential nominee and be the guy to decide whether it be trump or cruz depending on how close they get. neil: that's why i asked about the delegates. they are committed on a first ballot, even if a suspended campaign. but he could highly recommend. if he did that. all of a sudden that gap between trump and cruz narrows considerably.

>> they would if they follow his advice. i haven't seen the poll numbers yet from north carolina, illinois and missouri which in many ways are almost as interesting as the numbers from ohio. assume kasich carried 86 out of 88 counties for reelection. trump has just gotten 99 in floash today. now the question is, trump comes in first even though he's not going to sweep them. but if he comes in first in north carolina, illinois and missouri, the momentum keeps building. he did carry the northern marianneas. not a big group. earlier cruz had done something similar in one of the territory. but all these votes begin to add up. what you will see by tomorrow morning i suspect is trump well with at least a 200-plus

delegate lead over cruz. neil: newt gingrich, thank you very much. looking at that. that's where rubio could have some influence. >> i think he made it clear he will have influence if they move to a contested convention. i don't think that's determined yet, certainly not by this delegate count. when he said god strengthened the eventual nominee of this party. he recast his pledge and he will honor it. those are important words and i think probably the republican party is breathing a sigh of relief and donald trump and ted cruz certainly are. carly fiorina is at ted cruz headquarters in houston. i guess now you have gotten on board with the ted cruz campaign arguing he was the better bet of the remaining candidates.

he's in a much stronger position tonight. what do you think he and marco rubio might do together? there is a lot of bad blood remaining between marco rubio and donald trump. a more natural fit might be with ted cruz? >> i won't speculate. let me begin by saying marco rubio ran a wonderful campaign. he gave a wonderful speech tonight. he reminded us of why his candidacy was so appealing to so many people, and he remind us as well about what our party is all about and what our nation is all about. i think he clearly indicated that donald trump and the fear and frustration and anger that donald trump stokes is not the future of the conservative movement or the republican party. and i share that sentiment. the week that donald trump announced his candidacy, i said he does not represent me and he does not represent my party.

now ted cruz is the only asked who has a reasonable path to defeat donald trump fair and square at the balance thought box which is where he must defeat him. no matter where ohio comes out. i would call on john kasich to be equally stateman like to think got future of his party and the future of his country. he has no path. he has no path even if he wins ohio. the on candidate with a path to beat donald trump fair and square at the ballot box which is where donald trump must be beaten. there can't be a back room deal or brokered convention. the only candidate who has a path to deet donald trump is ted cruz. i know he will say he welcomes supporters from john kasich's marco rubio's campaign with open arms. but i will end write started, i

want to congratulate marco rubio's supporters and marco rubio on a wonderful campaign. neil: i wonder, what made you go to ted cruz and could you envision yourself if he did get the nomination, playing a bigger role not only in the campaign but if he ever became president? >> i have to tell you the honest truth. i voted for ted cruz in the privacy of a ballot box in the virginia primaries before i ever had a meeting with him about endorsing him. and i voted for him because of why i ran for president. i ran for president because i thought it was important to have a real conservative in the white house. i ran for president because i thought it would be important to have someone who would challenge the system and status quo. ted cruz is a constitutional conservative as am i and

demonstrated his willingness and courage to challenge the system. for now i'm going to work very hard to make sure ted cruz is the nominee our party because we must beat donald trump. neil: there was more ill will expressed towards ted cruz than donald trump by establishment figures. they dislike ted cruz more. what did you make of that? and where is the party now? >> it doesn't surprise me at all. i have challenged the status quo all my life. it's how you go from secretary to ceo. when you alcohol allege system you do more than ruffle feathers and break glass. you make enemies. i'm encouraged by the fact that ted cruz made enemies. it means he has challenged the system. there are people who think

donald trump is someone they can deal with. the only problem is donald trump is the system. he benefited from the system his entire life. he does not represent me an does not represent my party. the other side of the coin -- i'm not going to answer that question, i'm going to work as hard as i can to make sure he is not our nominee. he and hillary clinton are two sides of the same coin. she made her millions selling access and influence from the inside and he has made his billions buying influence. neil: you are not quite sure on that one? >> i'm saying pundits all through this election have wanted to get to the end. most of the time they have gotten it wrong. what i'm saying is donald trump doesn't represent me, he doesn't represent my party, and i'm going to spend a lot of hard work and energy to make sure he

is not our nominee. neil: okay, carly, thank you very much. before we go to a quick break. i want to give you taken updated delegate count. 99 pickup in florida and the 9 in the mariannea islands. donald trump is 568. ted cruz at 370. we have seen cases. you are watching fox business coverage. much more. ♪ there's a lot of places you never want to see "$7.95."

neil: already marco rubio once considered the one of the more promising candidates in this race suspended his campaign. congratulated donald trump after he was handily defeated in his home state of florida. i can't believe that. he was boy wonder. >> with jeb tbhusht race earlier that did put a crimp in that. neil: jeb bush was stunned that his protege would dare.

maria: now the question becomes who in the gop will get behind cruz. we have to see where jeb puts his vote. i wonder if in the next couple days we see jeb bush come out and get behind cruz. neil: trish, the stop trump effort, if they were doing this a few weeks ago, maybe. trish: all after sudden they have come out of the woodwork in a way you heard newt gingrich say he thought the super pac was going after rubio in florida. they didn't understand and recognize the threat donald trump was early on. neil: lou, we were talking about what was going on in ohio where

john kasich has the lead. it's look so far good for him. you equitable with the notion that mitt romney could take a bow. lou: i brought up the idea it's my fantasy he will stand before the cameras and say i saved john kasich and the republican establishment. that's my fantasy. i don't know that that will happen. but given what has happened to mitt romney i wouldn't be surprised about it in the least. maria: the gop says trains prebults chair of the rnc texts john kasich and congratulated him for winning ohio. neil: we haven't called it. maria: he let the cat out of the bag. deirdre has been getting into what we have thus far. it was a must-win state.

but tell us how it looks. deirdre: as you have said, a very, very, very strong lead. i know the ohio university football coach was on your show and went for kasich which is not a surprise. that middle grounds with columbus and where the university is. this is all kasich country. he served in congress in one form or another in the late 90s, early 2000 and the governor of the state. we were talking earlier about this delay in cincinnati. this is really where this county is and all around it there. neil: it's official, john kasich has won ohio. hillary won ohio, too. deirdre: we can see where hillary performed. cleveland up by the lake. cleveland cling. there is a lot of bio tech. a strong showing. and she won as you just mentioned. and at least one home candidate.

governor john kasich gets his home state unlike marco rubio. one state i want to point out, missouri, this could be the surprise of the evening. a lot of people saying senator cruz could have a strong showing. springfield people say is the buckle if you will. we know his wife was there and he had his dad there. this is one we'll be watching in the meantime. back to you. neil: hillary clinton also end up beating bernie sanders in north carolina. and of course combined with her florida victory she swept all seven states. what do you think? lou: the idea that she would do so well in ohio after being upset by bernie sanders in michigan is counter intuitive. no surprises tonight in ohio. neil: she changed her campaign

schedule to focus on that. lou: the pivot was a wise decision. this could have been an analog for michigan all over again. maria: i think the black vote worked against sanders. one in five voting voters were black. neil: if you are still racking up delegates. there is no reason for him to bow out. lou: sanders is going to have -- he has a huge following. and they want that following to be animated in support of their candidate, not dissimilar to ways going on with the republican party. the differences not quite so sharp or toxic. but nonetheless, they are there. >> she has got to go to the

left. as long as he's in the race. i spoke to a sanders supporter who said she should consider hip as a potential running mate. so the pressure is on. >> this is what it's been about in some ways since the beginning. he's excited some members of the base. by's never really had a shot. the math hasn't been there. but do not forget the guy is a socialist. but he's not what we are as americans. i don't think he stood a shot. but he's talking about thing and bringing them into the spotlight that is exciting to many members of her base. and i think that's his whole goal. he want to get these issues out. >> maria: one of the most important factors of bernie sanders is his presence has pushed hillary

clinton all the way to the left. trish: seeing him on the ticket, she is going to hit on we have fundamental continues in how we view how to grow the economy. so i don't know as i see him playing a role on the main ticket. but he could certainly do a lot to excite people about her for her. lou: it will be very difficult for them whether he is her running mate or she end up as the nominee. it will be hard to excite the democratic party. you see great energy in the republican party. i think trump is responsible for most of it. in the democratic party, there is a malaise, and there is -- as trump would say, certainly his opponent in the republican party, there is low energy everywhere. even though he's exciting to his base and to the left, to the

rest, the center and the rest of the democratic party, he's disturbing. and they are not rallying in any way to even though they may support hillary clinton, they are not centrallying to the democratic standard. maria: voter turnout is huge in the republican party. lou: 30% less than 2012. trish: you have even democrat actually switching side and voting for trump. because some of the thing he's talking about are * appealing. neil: we'll take a quick break. but john kasich has won his state. it was crucial with the 66 delegates. but even with that pickup today, he has a little more than 100 and donald trump is looking at over 600 delegates.

coming, pennsylvania is coming, indiana, california with 122 delegates. they feel this is a reset of the race. the rubio cam probably comes this way and they reset the race. they see the race being reset as one between two far-right candidates and one between moderate republicans who they think is the guy who can get the most votes from the entire piece. they say a clear path going forward. they say if we get to the convention and we have three guys with a bunch of delegates, then the convention is open and people have to decide and somebody has to get behind somebody. they are fine with that. that what's they see right here. neil: he would have to pick up another 1,100 delegates. i don't think there are another

1,100. lou: it's pretty close to 1,100. there is another problem, pennsylvania, the birthplace of john kasich. there is another problem with registration. he's not on the ballot as of right now. the judge hasn't made an official declaration. neil: that's something that's rich in delegates and something he needs in pennsylvania in the western part of the state. but he might not be on that ballot. so he could miss a big opportunity in that quest to get the nomination. is it becoming a better professor by being a more adventurous student? is it one day giving your daughter the opportunity she deserves? is it finally witnessing all the artistic wonders

so if you've been waiting for the right time -- neil: we're monitoring. a lot of things going on concurrently. lou wanted to stay, mr. dobbs. lou, by my math she picked up florida. leading handsomely in illinois. they haven't declared it. leading slightly in missouri. that is way to close to call. she picked up north carolina and ohio. democrats were not competing in the north marianna islands just so you know. lou: lucky for them. she is doing what was expected. polls are pretty close on her performance here tonight. looks like she will not be underperforming. which is not the case in certainly on the republican side. but she looks strong here. >> theres was some expectation she would do well in ohio. neil: wish you hadn't started talking. i was going to introduce you. >> keep america great again. neil: charlie gasparino.

>> should i put the hat on? have was expectation she would do well in ohio, that she wouldn't win ohio that bernie sanders would win in ohio as he did in michigan, blue-collar, blue-collar workers with the economy. for the same reason john kasich basically, some ways he won convincingly over donald trump. ohio is a different midwestern state, grass belt state. a state done very well economically. for that reason, those voters -- lou: it has energy. that is a different -- >> it has other stuff. john kasich diversified the state. the anger level -- neil: you dismiss him you use the kasich thing. >> i like him. will you stop it. i call him kasich to his face. i saw him at the gym. maria: so did i. neil: talking about burger king. maria: we saw him at the gym when we were doing the debate. neil: i wasn't going to interfere.

maria: we were at the hotel. charlie and -- neil: crazy. i'm just kidding but to make a point about, if it is hillary clinton, the argument has been from her people that, gosh we hope it is donald trump. much like the carter people hoped it was ronald reagan in '80. maria: i think you do not want to underestimate donald trump frankly. that is what she is saying. the his camp is saying. donald trump is getting support not just from republicans, independents and as well as democrats. foreher campaign to underestimate donald trump i think is wrong. lou: be clear she is not underestimating him. neil: not now. lou: we need to look what is happening here. maria: so she is lying? lou: she is being what they are, politicians. reality in ohio it looks like almost 15% of the democrats have moved into the republican side so they could vote for kasich -- kasich.

>> his campaign said it rhymes with basic. lou: that is terrific. think about the numbers, what i'm saying. 15% moved in to make certain donald trump did not win in ohio. maria: wow. >> be real clear why they want to run against trump. they do want to run against trump. not saying they're going to win. lou: i gave you empirical evidence why what you're say something incorrect. what is the empirical evidence for what you're saying? >> empirically when i call people, i dial the number. i hello, mr. and mrs. smith. you work for mrs. clinton. who does she want to run against. that is the empirical evidence. neil: some would say you're condescending. lou: a little baked as well on sources. >> here is what they say. here is some empirical evidence. there is no candidate in this race with higher negatives not even old hillary, ol' hillary, i'm in real trouble tonight, than donald trump. lou: you're about to get in trouble.

neil: negatives are way down from what they were. >> like being the tallest midget in the room. his negatives are off the short. lou: charlies at some point we have to deal with reality? >> his negatives are not high? lou: they have fallen dramatically, election on everyone of these candidates including hillary clinton about likability. >> give me empirically. lou: look a at any poll. >> abc. maria: all this doesn't matter. he is winning. >> he is winning of minority of a minority. neil: he is argued pitted against hillary he will have a trouble. maria: i don't know about that you're underestimating. >> i am saying why do they want to run against donald of all the candidates including here. maria: what lou is saying they're just saying that. neil: why did jimmy carter want to run against ronald reagan. >> every time i hear her speak i think donald has a chance.

there might be 15 other crazy things coming out of donald's mouth. maria: what comes out of his mouth he is about to unleash on hillary clinton. >> really. maria: the way donald trump just unleashed all of this stuff against all of his rivals on gop side. let's see what he has to say about hillary clinton in the general election. neil: i want to get to my buddy connell mcshane at rubio headquarters. marco rubio called it quits, suspended his campaign. wondering what he will do with the delegates. he has nice little cast to play with or at least maybe bargain with. 163 delegates. have you heard anything like at that, what his next step is? reporter: a lot of speculation about where those 163 delegates go. this is, his supporters are any kind of an indication where his support goes, we spent a lot of time, as you can see behind me, room for what it was, fairly small gathering, rubio spoke last hour, pretty much cleared out.

we spoke to people on way out, not one person, before that rally or speech began afterwards said they would vote for donald trump. that tells you something about rubio supporters. a lot of people said they would be willing to support cruz which is interesting and number for kasich as well. the support will divide up. what happens to delegates remains to be seen. one of the interesting questions that comes out of tonight. neil: connell, thank you very much. we're getting word hillary clinton in her remarks talking quite a bit about her opponent, senator sanders. so let's dip into that again, talking about how they can work in concert together with each other. [cheering] >> and yes, our next president has to bring our country together so we can all share in the promise of america. we should be breaking down barriers, not building walls. we're not going to succeed by dividing this country between us and them. [cheering]

you know, to be great we can't be small. we can't lose what made america great in the first place. and this isn't just about donald trump. all of us have to do our part. we can't just talk about economic inequality. we have to take on all forms of inequality and discrimination. [cheering] together we have to defend all of our rights, civil rights, and voting rights. workers rights and women's rights. l-gbt rights and rights for people with disabilities. [cheering] and that starts by standing with president obama when he nominates a justice to the supreme court. [cheering] our next president will face all these challenges and more.

running for president is hard but being president is harder. it is the hardest, most important job in the world, and no one person can succeed at the job without seeking and finding common ground, to solve the problems we face. if we work together, we can make a real difference in people's lives. if we reach out to treat each other with respect, kindness and even love, instead of bluster and bigotry, if we lift each other up, instead of tearing each other down, there is nothing we can't accomplish together. [cheering] so please, join me in this campaign. every vote counts. every volunteer hour counts. every contribution counts. eight years ago, eight years ago on the night of the ohio primary, i said i was running for everyone who has ever been counted out but refused to be

knocked out. for everyone who has stumbled, but stood right back up. for everyone who works hard and never gives up. that is still true. our campaign is for the steelworker i met in ohio on sunday night who is laid off but hoping to get back to work. it is for the mother i met in miami whose five children haven't seen their father since he was deported. she dreams of a day when deportations end and families are reunited on a path to citizenship in america. [cheering] and, it is for the mothers i stood with in chicago yesterday, who have lost children to gun violence. they're turning their sorrow into a strategy and their mourning into a. mo. let's stand with people who have

courage, who have resilience. let's stand with everyone who believes america's best days are ahead of us. for all of our challenges i have never had more faith in our future, and if we work together, if we go forward in this campaign, if we win in november, i know our future will be brighter tomorrow than yesterday! thank you all so very much! [cheering] neil: all right. hillary clinton counting up a lot of delegates. we can say of states outright won by her, looking like potential sweep for florida, leading a lot in illinois. missouri a little too close to call. but she picked up north carolina, ohio, at a minimum, 400 of the 6 the 1 delegates up for grabs -- 691. bernie sanders supporter joins us right now. neil, for your candidate the arcment always has been he not

only has to start winning, he has to start winning big. he wins a lot of states. won close to 10 so far but he is not winning big. even where he does, because of these superdelegates he gets an even split in states like new hampshire. are you worried? >> i think what is important to keep in mind is that march 15th, today, was always going to be high water mark for secretary: ton's campaign. this -- secretary clinton's campaign. this will be the place she continue to -- as we turn around in the contests ahead there are really strong chances for senator sanders in the weeks to come. i think you can look to arizona. you can look out west once we get to places like oregon, washington state, california. there will be some good chances for some very big wins and pickups. like you said the math is little different for democrats. neil: i don't doubt you. i'm looking at new york. i would be shocked if hillary

clinton lost that. very favorable for her in new jersey. looks very favorable for her, you know, growing on down the list. i just added there, roughly about 400 delegates. that closes the deal right there. >> what we've seen in a lot of places also the more time senator sanders gets chance to spend with democratic voters the more his, the more delegates he is able pull out of some of these states. as we start to see senator sanders more in new york, new jersey, some other states you mentioned we'll start to see him improve. the important thing to remember, like you said the delegate math is little different, if these states are closer and voter turnout is high as senator sanders talks about there is chance he could win it. there is chance -- neil: charlie gasparino is here. charlie. >> why didn't he do better in ohio? that seemed to be a state tailor-made for him. largely white, not african-american. those are states hillary clinton does better in, blue-collar, all that other stuff yet he kind of

flopped there. >> unclear yet whether we can call it a flop. we'll see how the actual final vote totals. >> he is flopping, i'm sorry. >> well what i will say is, it is important to remember last week's win in michigan was really surprising. michigan and ohio were supposed to be states where secretary clinton was going to do very, very well. the fact that bernie sanders was able defy all the polls and surprise everyone like he did last week is unusual. >> but isn't the demographic makeup of ohio tailor-made for bernie sanders and it seems like, sounds like maybe he has run his string if he can't turn ohio. >> listen, i think there is lots of strong pockets of where ohio could work for senator sanders. no doubt about it. one of the reasons why he competed so hard there. i know in the contests ahead there is also really fertile terrain for senator sanders. i think he will be strong throughout this. listen, this will go all the way to june.

what we're seeing at large, no matter how secretary clinton wins some of these states, democrats still want this primary going on. >> aren't you hurting her? as a loyal democrat i'm sure you want your party to win. the longer he stays in the race the longer she has to stay in it herself and answer questions and you know, make dumb comments at all these guys do as thing goes on. you're weakening her for the republican challenger, don't you bear some responsibility for maybe electing donald trump? >> no. this primary has only made both of the democratic candidates stronger. >> she didn't sound too strong in that speech, let me tell you. >> the fact of the matter is, bernie sanders's campaign, particularly against for instance against the trans-pacific partnership throughout his time in ohio and michigan and elsewhere has forced secretary clinton to strengthen her stance on the trans-pacific partnership. >> become more liberal? >> that is what we're going to need if we're going to take on donald trump in the fall. you need a strong argument against these bad trade deals. neil: neil, i always love you

because you spell neil correctly. >> i appreciate that. neil: so good having you buddy. appreciate it. john kasich will address supporters. he won his home state of ohio and as lou dobbs reminded me, mitt romney can take credit for that one because without mitt romney would have been a dicey call. big pickup there. i think -- 29 at all. maria: what wasn't expected how close they were, john kasich and trump. we'll see the victory lap. neil: finally won a state. john kasich has a carry over, doesn't appear to carry over in illinois. there was a sense rust belt states he would pile them on. seems to be one and done but who knows. john kasich. [cheering] >> usa!

usa! usa! usa! >> you better, you better believe, you better believe it's about america, about pulling us together, not pulling us apart. it is about usa. exactly. [cheering] first of all i want to -- >> kasich! kasich! kasich! kasich! kasich! >> hey. , listen, listen, everybody, let me, hey. [shouting].

[cheering] [applause] [shouting] >> well, you know when you went to college in the 1970's, you appreciate a good peaceful protest every once in a while, huh? you do. [cheering] first of all, you know, when you're in the arena, and you are struggling and you leave your family to go out on the campaign trail and deliver a message to america because you believe that you, you believe that you are the best-qualified person to be president of the united states, and you put it all on the line. and your family puts it all on the line. and i want this crowd here tonight to give a great, a great

response to a very, very great talented and fine united states senator, marco rubio, for the effort that he has done. [cheers and applause] tonight, tonight we arrived in cleveland and we went to a restaurant. we thought we could kind of sneak in and grab a quick meal. and when we walked through the restaurant, people started to cheer. my reaction? please don't do that because you're going to make me cry.

but to have, to have people believe in you, and to believe that you can bring people together and strengthen our country, i have to thank the people of the great state of ohio. i love ya. all i can say. [cheering] >> kasich! kasich! >> you know when i became governor of ohio i went to new york and i met with some of the rating agencies. things were bad. we lost 350,000 jobs. we were $8 billion in the hole. our credit was hanging in the balance and they told me we're about to cut up a credit card and give you a new one where you can't buy as much. i said you don't understand ohio. you don't understand ojai --

ohioans. i can't wait to go back again. we're now up 400,000 jobs. we're running a $2 billion surplus. our pensions are secure. we cut taxes by more than any governor in this country. and we are leaving no one behind. not the mentally ill, the drug-addicted, the working poor. [cheers and applause] and i don't know whether you can actually serve a meal of words but i would like to go back to those credit rating agencies with, where they can learn to eat their words about doubting ohio, huh? [applause] and you know, ladies and gentlemen, you know, look, my whole life has been about trying to create a climate of

opportunity for people. you know, as my father carried that mail on his back and his father was a coal miner. i was just told by my cousin, i didn't realize this, my mother, one of four, was the only one to graduate from high school. the other three barely made it out of the 8th grade because they were poor. and you know, as i have traveled the country, and i look into your eyes, you want to believe. you want to believe again that we can have job security. you want to believe again that wages can rise. you want to believe that your children are going to have ultimately a better america than with we got from our mothers and fathers. that is the great american legacy that our kids will be better than we are. [applause] and i want, i want people in ohio to know, as i think you do,

i want people around the country to know that i understand these tough issues. i grew up in these situations in that little blue-collar town. and in mckees rocks. in my mind's eye is the need to forget the politics, forget the pollsters. forget all the focus groups because you see, i represent you. and it is my job to look at these and these situations and problems and listen to you and my job is to go and fix them. if that means at times i have to take some heat, well, that is the price of leadership in america, okay? >> [applause] i want you to know that the campaign goes on. i want you to know it has been

my intention to make you proud. it has been my intention to have young people all across this country watch somebody enter into politics, even though i labored in obsecurity for so long, people counting me out. people in ohio saying, why don't they ever call on him, okay? we get all that. but we put, we put one foot in front of the other. and i want to remind you, again tonight that i will not take the low road to the highest office in the land. [cheers and applause] you know, the challenges that we

>> the lord made everybody special. i have been telling people this all over the country. no one has been made like you and no one will be made again. you are here at this moment in

time. your job is to find the purpose you have. your job is to live a life a little bigger than yourself. your job is to be a center of healing in justice and hope. if we are a school teacher we give up money to change lives. if we are a nurse we work 15 extra minutes when we are dead on our feet because we want to assure a family that things are going to be okay. and if we are a neighbor, that means that widow who was married for 50 years who no one calls anymore. you want to change the world? you take her to dinner on saturday night. she'll wear that dress she has isn't won in six months. what i learned as a boy, what i

learned from my mother and father, is that the spirit of america rests in us. it doesn't rest in a big-time politician or big wigs. you hire to us go do the job, to create an environment of economic growth and opportunity. but that's not where our spirit is. our spirit is in us. believing through our efforts in whatever part of the world that we live, that we can change the world, that we can carve out beat sister future, that we can realize those special gifts given to each and every one of us in here are something we can use to heal the world. and we are all part after giant mosaic. a snapshot in time, all of us here. and it's our job as americans, our job as people who want to be decent and live good lives, to dig down and understand that purpose and never under estimate

our ability to change the world in which we live. [applause] guess what, tomorrow i'm going to philadelphia. [cheers and applause] >> then i'm going all over the country. and many of you have traveled around this country trying to help me. you know what? look, this is all i got. okay? this is all i got. all i can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart. but i want you to know something. we are going to go all the way to cleveland and secure the republican nomination.

[cheers and applause] i also want to thank -- my father was a democrat all his life. he was. we had a lot of democrats that said they didn't like a socialist agenda or left wing agenda or big government. i want to thank them for coming over in this election and putting their confidence in me. because, you know, i think we all know conservative principles can work, common sense can work. shifting power and money and influence from that big place in

washington and moving it to where we live empowers us. that's the direction for our country. and finally, i want you coming out on the road. i want you continuing to do what we have been doing all over this country. i'm getting ready to rent a covered wagon. we'll have a big sail and have the wind blow touts rocky mountains and over the mountains to california. here is what i want you to know. we got one more trip around ohio this coming fall where we'll beat hillary clinton and i will be become the president of the united states. thank you all have much. god bless you. neil: john kasich a big winner in ohio tonight. as he was speaking donald trump

picked up the state of north carolina. it's proportional where you can win a disproportionate amount in your favorite. i don't want to go into the details. but he will get a good chunk of the 72 delegates up for grabs. >> wouldn't you think they won the whole thing with this? can we go to bernie sanders? he has yet to win a state. he fell further behind hillary clinton. >> women making 79 cents on the dollar compared to men. [cheers and applause]

>> i know that every man in this room will stand with the women in the fight. a few weeks ago i was in flint, michigan. and what i observed there and what i heard there was literally beyond my comprehension and it shook me and upset me enormously. what i observed there is children in that city were being poisoned by a water system that had very heavy amounts of lead in it. [booing] >> it is incomprehensible that this is happening in the united

states in the year 2016. but it's not just flint. all across this country our infrastructure, our water systems, our waste water plants, our bridges, our roads, our rail system is falling apart. in the united states of america we should have a first class infrastructure and that is what we are going to build. [cheers and applause] >> we are going to put a trillion dollars into building our infrastructure. and when we do that we create 13 million decent paying jobs. what this campaign is about is

asking the american people to think outside of the box. outside of the status quo. think about a nation not where our children are being poisoned by lead in the water, but where we have a cutting edge infrastructure in roads and bridges and rails and air transport. that's where we have got to go. [cheers and applause] >> this campaign in terms of the rigged economy is telling corporate america that we are going to end these disastrous trade policies which are destroying the middle class of this country.

no, you cannot continue to shut down plants in america and move to cheap labor countries all over the world. all of us, all of us wants to help poor people throughout the world, we can do it without destroying the american middle class through disastrous trade policies. so i say to corporate america, you want us to buy your products? start manufacturing those products here in america, not in china. [cheers and applause] >> this campaign is about fixing a broken criminal justice

system. once again i ask you -- neil: i don't want to get lou upset but i will have to break away from this. we are keeping track of all the races. >> that's fine introduction. you will see the head shot, they will come as if by magic. what you already know. donald trump winning in florida as we watch marco rubio's suspension peach there. also donald trump a clear winner in north carolina, and ohio as we were just listening to governor kasich talk about his big win there. on the other side you will see three hillary clintons here. so for both we are still waiting for illinois and for missouri. i'm going to call the map back

up of this fine u.s. this could go to cruz. if you go back a little bit to the last contest, you will see where santorum wept that state. so the majority there, and a lot of the profile for santorum thought to vote for cruz. we'll see if that goes. since santorum did in fact endorse rubio. also taking a look at illinois, if we can take a look at the results. we'll see what's up there so far. trump in the lead. neil: i think we have blake berman in florida. how are they feeling over there. donald trump putting in a pretty good night. >> it's been a subdued crowd here. there was little to no reaction

when it was announced donald trump won florida or when marco rubio dropped out. they have 500-600 chairs in the grand ballroom at the mar-a-lago resort. he picked up all 9 delegates in florida. and in north carolina trump is going to win. but we just don't know how it will shake out proportionally. trump has won inner poll dating back to august. 39 trait polls. so tonight was not unexpected. there is one trend i want to leave you with. right now it's 94%, 95% of the precincts reporting. on the democratic side hillary

clinton has a million 50,000 votes. but we'll see what happens coming up in the election. neil: that's a big chandelier. donald trump picked up illinois. so he's got illinois, florida, it's still competitive in missouri. you have got north carolina. he lost to kasich ohio. >> on those state that are not winner-take-all. illinois is winner take most. it's one of those state where he

could get a lopsided share. maria: that's a bad economic story in north carolina. the national growth in term of employment growth is below the national average in illinois. that was a story of angry voters, unhappy about their prospects i'm sure. they went for trump. >> if you are thinking contests convention and you are republican establishment you are thinking how to stop trump. >> it's getting increasingly hard for them to stop trump. what is the path to doing that? do you have to hope for a brokered convention? >> he will have to win 60% of the remaining delegates to win. neil: he's got the lion's share of the delegates tonight. lou: the conventional reasoning is it looks good for trump to the remaining primaries.

neil: enough to get to the 1,27? lou: to be so strong to amass so many votes to have so many delegates that people do the right thing that is for party unity. despite the venom and nastiness you heard carly fiorina in her language and she was being adamant in still opposing trump. rubio also in his speech where he was talking about hope and optimism, this wasn't a year or hope and optimism. his language was laced with all sorts of acrimonious references, and talking about waiting in line. >> the conventional wisdom isn't that donald will walt in there. the conventional wisdom is there

will be a contested convention. one person dropped out. lou: the conventional wisdom is the remaining primaries favor donald trump. >> to some extent. but he's not getting 1,237. trish: they will come in and try to with hold the nomination from him, i don't think it's going to work. neil: can we show illinois? the reason i want to show it is to make a point. it's winner take most. but with that kind of a lead and that gap. it would be possible he could get most of those 69 delegates on top of the 99 from florida on top of the 9 from the mariana.

so they have got 250. maria: he will come close. if he doesn't get the 1,237 at the end of theday day, if he doesn't get the nomination they will say they stole it from him. >> who is they? 60% of the voters don't want donald trump. trish: 1824 andrew jackson was the guy who got the popular vote and he didn't get the nomination because the party withheld it. he didn't get to that magic number. so they fought it out. he got john quincy adams who gets presidency. andrew jackson goes out and starts his own party with all his supporters. >> george bush got popular vote.

neil: i love you like a brother. but you are constantly dismissing every mountain of donald trump. he's rack up numbers close to 50%. lou: you are up to 40% now? charlie breaks it. neil: there is no one close. >> the party is going to allow in 40% to control 60%. neil: i'm doing math which you are good at and maria i'm look at a guy who will head into tomorrow with over 700 delegates. >> how many is he getting tonight? neil: i don't know ... lou: he wouldn't three primaries with the highest numbers of

delegates tonight. >> 1,237, they will contest him. maria: the base is no longer excited to go out and vote. >> here is what -- lou: let me explain the reality. there are six weeks between the last primary and the convention. in that time this party will come together. you can take it to the bank because all of their interests will align to do so. >> they will come together behind a guy that acts like donald? i like some of what donald stands for politically. lou: this fixation you have got on donald trump. >> do you think it's good to make fun of people and question john mccain's war record? i'm just telling you if you hand

a party to a guy -- broth broadening horizons is laughing at a joke -- maria: the fact is, regardless of what donald trump does, he continues to resonate with a portion of people in america that are sick and tired of what has gone on. sick and tired of the fact that their wishes have not been looked at and they have been getting rolled over. so you can talk about what he's done and we have all reported it and talked about it. but at the end of the day's resonating. >> they will not allow 40% of the people to hand the party to somebody exhibiting. maria: the 40% is actually voting. lou: i would like to complete a sentence here tonight.

maria: i think the bottom line is you can't fight this if you are the establishment. it's not going to work. history shows it won't work. you will just mobilize the other side if you do so. so you want to make sure you get as many republicans as you can out to vote on election day. and do you that by galvanizing around whoever the nominee is. >> i get that. but every his negatives are so high even among republican likely voters that you are not going to win anyway and you may lose the senate. neil: he won four of these states and is only the verge of wishing a fifth. neil: i want to hug you. i think you need a hug. jeff flock is at trump add quarters. and i have got a big rubio donor with us.

where does he win next? where does he take his campaign? i know outside of ohio where is his strength? >> if you don't like what each other is saying you won't like what i'm saying. here is what the campaign is saying. they say nobody gets anywhere near 1,237. there is almost 1,000 more delegates. the path is prolonged. going forward they think they are best positioned to provide an electoral landslide in the fall and help the entire ticket nationwide. they are best able to do that, trump and cruz are not. where do they go from here? california has 122 delegates. maybe not trump country, right? new york, 95 delegates. wisconsin. there are a lot of places they think they can take the lion's share of the delegates. and if they do that it's anybody's race in cleveland.

neil: you just validated gasparino's argument. george, what do you think your candidate, what influence he has with the 163 delegates committed to him? what if anything can he do and recommend for those. >> good evening. i think it's a good idea and wait on things like that. teddy roosevelt said it's years ago that courageous man is the one who gets in the arena and fights with all his might and accepts the outcome win or lose. marco has fought a courageous race and i'm proud of him. neil: i want to go back to the 163 delegates. your best guess on what happens to those folks. >> the time now is to reflect on all the hard work and not do a thing about those 163 delegates

right now. i'm confident marco won't give them to donald trump. neil: do you think he will join forces with ted cruz? >> i think there will be some pragmatic choice to make. i think it's interesting the rubio campaign reached out no to kasich in ohio and there wasn't a reciprocal reach back. there is two viable mainstream candidates left in the rain besides trump. it will be interesting to watch it play out. neil: do you think marco rubio will be true to his word that if it is donald trump he will support him as the nominee? >> i do. i think he's a man of his word and i think he will pursue that. i'm going to back the republican nominee no matter who it is. i told you that three or four months ago and i'm going to

stand by that. debbie wasserman-schultz put out a statement saying trump is a fringe candidate. clearly the gops autopsy report is dead. she also said, gasparino, never invade my television set again. >> it sounds like they are scared of the donald. maria: some democrats said they did not have any choice. neil: we are waiting to hear from donald trump. we are all over it. stick around. tly. only flonase is approved to relieve both your itchy, watery eyes and congestion. no other nasal allergy spray can say that. complete allergy relief or incomplete. let your eyes decide. flonase changes everything.

neil: we are getting ready for the introduction of donald trump. he wanted to make sure everybody spoke before him and got his time in the sun. it becomes like a press conference. trish: right. neil: i hope that guy jeremy isn't there. lou: i never heard anything more about area any. but -- donald trump is a big winner tonight. he did not take ohio which make the quest for the delegate a little more problematic. lou: can we give him credit for being the only one among these candidate taking questions tonight? neil: he fields them all in rapid fire.

so i think maria you have to go. trish, you are welcome to stay. we know this will last a little while. maria: i'll see you tomorrow on "mornings with maria." neil: here we go. he will still be wrapping up. >> i don't know if they announced illinois yet but we are leading by a lot. florida was so amazing. i want to thank our friend. northern marianas island, we picked up 9 delegates this morning. that's a lot. i just wanted to thank the governor, ralph torres, great guy, chairman a -- -- a. that was a nice start to the day, that i can tell you.

many thing have been happening the last short period of time. cnn was nice. they came up with a poll, it said 49% to 14 degree and 15 degree. we just had one from the economist 53%. as i was watching the news one of the commentators i'm not particularly fond of said but donald trump doesn't get over 50%. because i'm at 43, 45. and i have to explain to these people they don't understand basic physics, base i can mathematics. when i don't get over 50. we have four people. we have four people. do you understand that? so when i get 53 in this one, i have 53, that's with four people. that's an amazing achievement

mathematically when you can get over 50%. some day they will understand. some day when we take it all they will understand. i want to thank my family. my boy eric and don, they have been work so hard. ivanka and jarrod have been amazing. ivanka is home right now. in two minutes i'll call her. she is ready to have a baby. but she has been so helpful and jared has been amazing. i want to thank baron for putting up with the fact i never see him anymore. it's his birthday sunday. so we are happy about that. it's a little tough. you go away -- he goes when are you coming home, daddy? i said about 2 1/2 weeks. it's pretty tough.

you are traveling all over the place. yesterday i went up to ohio and youngstown. we had an incredible crowd and amazing people in this country. we have so many great people. we'll some day in the not too distant future, if i win, otherwise it's not going to happen. but apple and all of these great companies will be making their product in the united states, not in china, vietnam and all those. and we are not going to be losing our companies. our companies are leaving our country rapidly. whether it's carrier air-conditioning, whether it's ford, whether it's eaton. i was in cleveland and eaton corp, they are leaving. frankly i'm disgusted with it and i'm tired of seeing it. there is no reason for it. it's just gross even competence at the highest level. pfizer, great company,

pharmaceutical company, they are going to ireland. you have corporate inversions. people can't get their money back into the country because the politicians can't get along and make a deal. everybody agrees, democrat and republican, everybody agrees the money should come back. there is $2.5 trillion outside of this country. everybody after he grieves the money should be here -- everybody agrees the money should be here and the politicians for two years haven't been able to make a deal. we can make a deal. there is an example of something you could do if i sat down with a few of the senators, a few of the congressmen you could make a deal on that in 10 minutes if you knew what you were doing. because everybody wants to do it. companies are leaving our country to get their money. they are leaving our country in order to go and get money that's their money because there is no way of bringing it in.

so we have got a long way to go. but i think at some point it's going to get done. that's very exciting. this whole process. we started, i was one of 17 people, senators, governors. i had such great support. dr. ben carson the other day endorsed us. great guy. great guy. wonderful man. chris christy endorsed us. that was so incredible. and today pam bondi came up and endorsed us. she was great. she always truly wonderful woman and the job she has done in florida is incredible. we have had such incredible support. paul ryan called me the other day. tre call. i spoke with mitch mcconnell today, we had a great conversation. the fact is we have to bring our party together. we have to privilege it

together. we have something happening that makes the republican party probably the biggest political story anywhere in the world. everybody is writing about it all over europe, all over the world they are talking about it. millions of people are coming in to vote. this was an exa example of it t. i'm look at different polling booths all over the country and the lines are four, five, six blocks long. one woman for 40 years has been working the polls. and she said we would have 2 or 3 people. now look at the line. it looked really long. five deep and long. it's just a different thing. we have a great opportunity. and the people that are voting are democrats coming in, independents are coming in, and very, very importantly, people that never voted before. it's an incredible thing.

[applause] >> i want to pay my respects to todd palin. she was making a speech on my behalf, fantastic, everybody loves her. he was in a very bad accident. he's tough as nails, he will be fine. but i want to pay my respects to todd and sarah. so our theme when we started, melania and i came in. sit down, please. we gave you have seats. you don't have to stand. i'm looking at all these people. good job, cory. good job. our whole squad, right?

so when this began, melania and i, i said got to do it. she was so supportive and it's been amazing. we have to do it. we came count else today lay tore, it was about trade and borders. what happened is pretty quickly after that, i shot right to the top of the polls and have been leading in the polls almost from the beginning without fail. we went up in june. most people said i will never run. he's just going to have fun. he's going to have a good time. i'm having a good time, i'm having a very nice time, but i'm working very hard and there is great anger, believe me, there is great anger. [applause] >> one of the broadcasters was saying is there anger? i'm supposed to say no, there's not. we love the deal you made with iran, it's wonderful, you give them $150 billion, we get nothing. the trade deals are wonderful.

you lose $500 billion a year with china. $58 billion a year in terms of imbalance it's a total imbalance. we don't make good deals anymore. we don't win anymore. they ask is there anger from your people? i said there is anger. they are not angry people, but they want to see the country properly run, they want to see borders and good healthcare. they want to see things properly taken care of. they want our military rebuilt. our military is in a very bad state. they want it rebuilt. [applause] very, very importantly, they want the second amend protected and protected strongly. that's going to happen. you know what they want so badly? they want our veterans taken care of. our veterans are treated so badly.

so we started and something happened called paris. paris happened. paris was a disaster. that was -- there have been many disasters, before it was paris. then we had a case in los angeles where it was in california where 14 young people were killed. and it just goes on and on and on. and what happened with me is this whole run took on a whole new meaning, not just borders and good trade deals. we'll make the best trade deals you have ever seen. we have such endorsements from karl icon and the smartest people in business. these people are going to be negotiating our deals and they are the best in the world. we have the best business people in the world. we are going to do so good with trade and so good on the border. but it took on a whole new meaning, and the meaning was simple. we need protection in our country, and that's going to happen. and all of a sudden the poll numbers shot up.

i'm proud to be part of this. i think we'll do a lot of trips the next month. but we'll have a great victory. more importantly than anything else we'll start winning again. this country is going to start winning again. we don't win anymore. we don't win with our military, we can't beat isis. we are going to knock the hell out of them. we don't win -- we don't win at trade, china, everybody, japan, mexico, vietnam, india, name the country, anybody we deal and do business with beats us. we don't win in trade, we are going to win in trade. we are going to make our country rich again and make our country great again. we need the rich to make the great. i'm sorry to tell you.

[applause] so going forward, we had a fantastic evening. i would have never thought this could happen. we are waiting for one result which possibly will be successful also. to win the state we won and win by the margins. this is my second home, florida. to win by that kind of a number is incredible. and i have to say it, i have to say it, that number one i want to congratulate marco rubio on having run a really tough campaign. he's tough web's smart and he has got a great future. but i have to say, and nobody has ever, ever in the history of politics received the kind of negative advertising that i have. record, record, record.

mostly false, i wouldn't say 100%. but about 0%. mostly false, vicious, horrible, they said it was $18 million the first week last week. and $25 million. it ended up to over $40 million. and you explain it to me because i can't. my numbers went up. i don't understand it. nobody understands it. my numbers went up. [applause] it's been an interesting experience. last week adam scott one at trump national -- oral. adam who is a great guy. we have television screens all over. we are down at this gorgeous green and everything is working bully. then a commercial comes on, the worst commercial. i'm with these wonderful people from cadillac and all these top executies, and i'm saying look

over there, you don't want to watch this. isn't the grass beautiful. look, don't watch. and they came in waves, one after. >> the after another. and it was brutal. then adam comes, this handsome kid from australia, one of the greatest golfers in the world made an unbelievable shot on the 18th hole. we are giving the award, and just before we break for a commercial, we'll be right back with our great champion from australia, adam shot. here's the commercial. i said no, and it was two of them. oh, what a day that was, what a disaster. [cheers and applause] >> unbelievable.

so again i just want to congratulate everybody. this is a really interesting process. it's an amazing process. it's very tough. but if you get to the end, you can handle a lot of things including pressure. that i can tell you. because there is nothing like it. lies, deceit, viciousness, disgusting reporters, horrible people. some are nice. some are nice. some really disgusting people back there. and i just want to say we are going to go forward. and we are going to win. but more importantly we are going to win for the country. we are going to win, win, win, and we are not stopping. we'll have great victories for our country. thank you very much, everybody. neil: i got it wrong. i thought he was going to do a press conference.

>> no, you are making that up, kneel. neil: i got it wrong. i have got melissa francis here. i have got kennedy here. charlie gasparino is still here and my buddy lou dobbs as well. i don't want to copy what he said, by the was funny. melissa: that was the best speech he has ever done. he told very funny stories. he always mentions his properties which i love because i'm all about branding. we are out on the green having a great time, the tournament is phenomenal. you are picturing something he can make money off of. he's out there with the champion and they go to the commercial break and here come these negative ads about him, he's saying don't look, i'm so embarrassed.

he's a master of marketing. he has done something very clever here. you want to do some of the other good jones he did there. lou: this is the first time i have heard donald trump and i thought about this for a few seconds at least, which is for me -- it's the first time he has ever been self-deprecating. >> i have never heard himself-deprecate. i thought the line about the ads was interesting. but i think what donald. neil: oh, lord. >> i have to break into the trump political action committee here. melissa: i thought it was a good comedy act. >> when he -- if and when he becomes the republican nominee you will see commercials from hillary clinton every day quoting woman calling him -- melissa: we have already seen

them. >> you will see them all the time. melissa: that was his point. kennedy: that was his point. somehow -- >> do you think women will vote for donald trump? kennedy: yes, i do. >> you are out of your mind. kennedy: i think a lot remains to be seen. >> his vote is a minority of a minority. kennedy: i know you want to hijack the conversation with your hillary clinton fetish but i want to hijack it. put your sombrero on. kennedy: now it's not. i'm a multi racial person, and second of all -- law, you are a

gentleman and a scholar and fine moderator. i'm going to throw a sharpie at you. neil: you were making a good point. kennedy: the question is not was he self deprecating. it's why was he in such a good mood? because he do the marco rubio out of the race. so far ted cruz has been a non-interestity. he lost ohio to john kasich who was predicted to win ohio that was not a surprising come from behind * victory. missouri is not going to go winner-take-all because he did not meet that -- neil: donald trump is young, middle aged -- kennedy: that's the reason there was a different tone to this than last week press

conference/press conference showdown base unless batter mood. he has 25% less competition. >> i will just say this putting on my organ grinder's uniform. it's interesting that he -- that most people i talk to say there is no way he's getting to 1,237. kennedy: are they in a bar? >> most people i talk to can read numbers. lou: how much of the republican voters are there out there in they represent 40 per prr of the votes? melissa: he has a lot of non-republicans voting for him. you talk about the negative ads. he was hammered with millions in negative ads. and he talked about this. he did do a funny joke saying he watched them and they were mostly false, 90%.

that was consider -- 10%, he said 90%. i'm talking about the jokes. only 90% of them -- that was very funny. lou: you are right about the mood he's in. he has won three out of these primaries, and possibly four. missouri is still far too close to call, but he's still viable there. neil: he might have a clean sweep minus ohio. he stands to get 2350 of thd gef the 358 delegates. kennedy: and he shut down cruz. neil: new hampshire, south carolina, georgia, vermont, virginia, mississippi, hawaii, northern mariana islands. north carolina, florida.

>> what do the delegates say? when we talk about a contested convention. lou: you are quoting unnamed sources. >> lou: do you understand the statistics? 40% of 30%. neil: just a reminder when mitt romney got to carolina for the convention he had 35% of the vote in the primaries. it was a crowded field. he went on to win the nomination. >> i'm not saying he won't win the nomination. they are going to fight him. in a general elect, he cannot win by insulting come even, hispanics. neil: he already has. what about all the democratic

votes. >> do you think women will vote for him? kennedy: i do. neil: he's off the chart. he's winning over republican females. kennedy: this is the language i know you understand. if he can make a better case on economics and continues to american voters, he will win. that is where people are hurting most. when you walk into a polling place, mitt romney didn't make a compelling, long cal and simple argument. you could not recite any of mitt romney's talking points from 2012. >> lower taxes. neil: we are waiting for missouri. charlie was the guy ...

neil: i'm getting so many emails. here is where we stand now in missouri. the only state outstanding here that has not come in. donald trump is winning it. this is where ted cruz placed a lot of his hopes. it's possible. that's why we are waiting to hear from ted cruz. maybe he's waiting to see the result from missouri. but he could get shut out. >> if he wins by 1, what difference does it make, it's a proporti if he wins by one, it will change the outcome.

>> i'm here to solve the dispute about how women are doing with trump. he won among women in three out of the five state. in florida trump do the 40% and in illinois he did well as welcoming in with 36% of the vote with kus 32%. you could argue here it' a tight race. look at north carolina trump wing among women 38% to cruz's 3%. he lost to cruz in missouri. but i want to give you context about what's going on here. trump has won all the state among women except tieing with cruz. and rubio winning virginia. so those are the facts. that is the data.

that's how trump is doing among women so far in this epic race. melissa: do they ask the democrats 20 to come in and vote in a republican primary and i didn't know about that? >> in a national election everybody votes, it's meaningless number unless you take all women and he scores very low. kennedy: you are so rude. do you think that it's statistically accurate. [all talking at once] kennedy: women voting for trump. melissa: what about the women. [all talking at once]

kennedy: we agree on something, charlie. charlie. [all talking at once] kennedy: grandma is crying. >> you went to harvard. you are extrapolating.

absolutely consuming me. charlie is going to need an ex exorcism. kennedy: you hijack the conversation. >> david duke is bad. you like jokes about epilepsy? i have got a couple good ones for him. neil: has it hurt him? >> i don't care. that's where i draw the line. kennedy: there have been -- i'm talking right now. there have been so many people and factions aligned against them and he triumphed over them regardless of whether you have agree or support him. let's talk about some of the people supporting donald trump. lesser educated people. there are a lost uneducated democrats. we know that because they are not work and they are on the

government dole, that's why they are democrats. there are a lot of seniors supporting donald trump and they feel he's a strong man who will fight for some of his entitlements. the immigration policy in this country, it's one of those issues when you take hispanics and other immigrants in this country out of the mix there are a lot of people who regardless of party want to see immigration so there is no legal pathway to citizenship for people who are here illegally and people resentful of free trade. there are a lot of people under employed this country who are sow pruls traded. and if you make the case i'm going to china with a giants armful of jobs and bring them back here, that's a convincing message regardless of ideology. melissa: he has a giants cup of pens and she already pitched the red one. don't anger her.

>> kennedy, you really can have a better messenger, a guy that does not do some of the stuff he does. neil: 20,000 democrats crossed over in massachusetts, 8,000 in illinois. ,000 in florida. that's a lot of people. kennedy: are they voting for donald trump because they think he would be the worse? >> i don't agree with that 9,000. kennedy: in the eyes,. neil: we'll take a quick break here. we have got ted cruz. i don't know if they are showing a movie or they have been waiting to see what's going to happen. they are waiting on missouri. for ted cruz, the guy who has the most likely shot against donald trump is falling first and further behind. hillary clinton a big winner on the democratic side.

missouri. do we know why donald trump didn't do a presser? or was he just tired snow wanted to call it a day, good night. >> this speech by my count was 13 or 14 minutes. it was one of the shorter ones we have seen on these tuesday night elections. he was talking about golf, and the commentary from trump is trying look presidential. the golf analogy is the golfer who makes the putt and tips his cap and walks off the green. that's kind of what we saw out of donald trump tonight. he picked up three wins that we know of. he said thank you very much and walked off. that was kinds of the night. one thing interesting from it. he mentioned marco rubio.

and it's customary for presidential candidates as others drop out to give statements or in this day and age send out tweets when they get in front of the cameras. trump had not done that for any other candidate. but marco rubio, little marco who he had gone after in his backyard specifically mentioned marco rubio iing how he ran a great campaign. on the airwaves it was just those two on the airways. rubio and the super pack going after trump and trump going after rubio. we heard trump mention that tonight how he was expwroact onslaught of ads. donald trump has left the building at mar-a-lago. where he goes from here we don't know because the campaign has not released its future schedule. neil: frank, * instrumental in

the rubio campaign, a very big donor. you see marco rubio stepping out. could you envision donald trump reaching out to marco rubio to join a ticket? >> i don't have any idea about that. you have got quite a program going there. i was listening in. i agree with charlie's opinion on how this is going to play out in the republican party. neil: do you think it's possible that bad blood between them not withstanding that trump could see an asset, and would you see or recommend if he did see an asset in marco rubio having him on the particular wet him? >> i can't imagine it. but i'm not the advisor to marco on that. but i can't imagine that. neil: who are you going support

now? >> clearly we go to plan b. i believe there are many men and women in this party and in the nation that believes that noble, honorable men and women that are courageous and very bright make the best leaders. neil: there are only two others besides trump in the race. john kasich and ted cruz. >> i think donald trump is disqualified in those categories. john kasich and ted cruz have all of those attributes. it will be a decision tore me personally between those two. neil: could you support donald trump if he does get the delegates? >> if donald trump becomes the president of the united states i'll support donald trump.

neil: when he's the nominee would you support him? if it's between him and hillary clinton then i have got to choose donald trump. you are choosing between two evils. i hope we don't have to make that choice. i'm hoping america does not have to make that choice. i think that's a lose-lose deal for this country. neil: but you could do it if push comes to shove. >> i don't think enough is being said about the supreme court. we know where hillary is going to go with the supreme court. we don't know where donald is going with that. i would go with donald trump just because you know you have got main a chance to have a conservative on the supreme court but you don't know that for sure. >> we'll see where he turns his attention. on the cruz state, carly fiorina. whether he's waiting finally for

the missouri results, it's too close to call. but, lou, what do you think of that? it's like dragging teeth? >> i think you did a terrific job of getting him to the point where he had to answer. which is the honest answer, that he republican, you can see the pain the man is in, you saw it with marco rubio. these folks have suffered a terrible loss. but they put themselves in such a terrible position. what he had to do at the request of the stab to the per sit when he knew the outcome and he's point in for weeks if not longer. you have to give him credit for being strong, standing up and going through it. but to what end? frank is one of those people who will be supporting whoever the nominee is. neil: but kick and screaming. kennedy: i think he reflects the views of a lot of voters. there were a lot of people who

saw this crowded field as providential. with so many talented people running, a candidate who represented them. someone who had the most concentrated talent would emerge and there are a lot of people who look at donald trump and hillary clinton and for them because it's confusing, because it doesn't feel like a traditional race it's the worst of both worlds. melissa: how many times does that happen in an election, and you are holding your nose. donald trump who has promised to be a unifier and bring the party together. this is a golden opportunity to show us that you can do that. it sound very tough. >> independent are going to select the next president of the united states. if a hard-core republican need to be drag bid his ears to vote

for donald trump, it's less likely. melissa: exact opposite of what you are saying. it make it absolutely. [all talking at once] kennedy: i think hillary clinton has a hard time with independents. i think registered independent -- neil: lou dobbs. lou: independents will be making lots of choices. his appeal has been established as being greater than that. to the idea that kennedy is putting here, we are going to see -- we saw a great field of candidate. i personally believe this is the best field i have ever seen on the part of the republican party. 17 people at the beginning. this process is meant to get us here. this is not a traditional election. he won't be a traditional nominee if he does succeed in the nomination and he won't be a traditional president. by the way, the traditional

figures that have persisted the last 30 years have led us to the calamity we are in right now. $19 trillion in neil: . ted cruz, we are waiting to hear from him.

he just moved ahead in missouri. but it's too close to call. >> god bless each and every one of you. thank you, patrick tore leading our team in the state of texas. and isn't carly extraordinary? cheers such a tremendous leader. i have got to tell you, she terrifies hillary clinton. hi are you tosses and turns in her jail cell. thinking about her. tonight was a good night. tonight we continue to gain delegate and continue our march to 1,237.

and after tonight, america now has a clear choice going forward. let me say a word about marco rubio. marco is a friend. he's a colleague. he ran a strong optimistic positive campaign. his story. the son of a bartender, the son of a maid who fled cuba seeking freedom. it's pour new, it's inspirational. marco's story is passion. it inspires me. marco can paint a picture and weave a tapestry of the promise of america like nobody else. and his presidential campaign inspired millions across the nation. i congratulate marco and

jeannette on the tremendous campaign they ran together. [applause] to those who supported marco, who worked so hard, we welcome you with open arms. [applause] with gratitude and with hope and with a positive vision together for our great nation. we welcome you to join us along with remarkable leaders like carly fiorina, like governor rick perry and all of the republicans who are uniting behind our campaign from mike lee to mark levin to national re-review. starting tomorrow morning every republican has a clear choice. only two campaigns have a plausible path to the

nomination. ours and donald trump's. nobody else has any mathematical possibility whatsoever. only one campaign has beaten donald trump over and over and over again. [applause] not once, not twice, not three times, but nine times all across the country from alaska to maine. and going forward, the choice is straightforward. do you want a candidate who shares your values or a candidate who has spent decade opposing your values? the mainstream media, the network suits who make the decisions want donald trump as the republican nominee.

that's why they have given him hundreds and millions in free advertising because they are partisan democrats ready for hillary, and they know donald may be the one person on the face of the earth that hillary clinton can beat in the general election. but the media aren't going to decide this election. the voters will. [cheers and applause] >> and here is our vision for america. an america with a brighter future and greater opportunity for our kids and grandkids. an america with more liberty and safety and security. it is america that is greater tomorrow than it is today and than it was yesterday. this election will focus on three critical issues, jobs, freedom and security. as president, my number one

priority will be jobs. turning around the stagnation, the misery of the obama-clinton economy. it's easy to talk about making america great again. you can even print that on a baseball cap. but the critical question is whether you understand the principles and values that made america great in the first place. the heart of our economy isn't in washington, d.c. the heart of our economy is small businesses all across the united states of america. [applause] if i'm elected president, we'll repeal every word of obamacare.

[applause] we'll pass a simple flat tax and abolish the irs. we'll rein in the eps and government regulateors who are killing small businesses. and we'll stop amnesty, secure the borders, end sanctuary cities and end welfare benefits for those here illegally. and the result will be millions upon millions of high-paying jobs, wages rising for people all across america, young people coming out of school with two, three, four, five job opportunities.

far too many politicians focus on washington, d.c. to the lobbyists, to those like donald trump who buy influence. and to those like hillary clinton who sell influence. washington is the center of the universe. but we understand that isn't right. together we will make washington less relevant in all of our lives. [applause] we'll fire government regulators and repeal job-killing regulations. and together we'll take the boot of the federal government off the backs and necks of small businesses all across this

country. [applause] it's not about the cronyism and bailouts that far too many republicans and democrats have done over and over again to benefit the rich and powerful. instead less government is more freedom. higher wages and a better standard of life for all of us. the second critical issue in this election is freedom. two today he baits ago donald trump promised all of us that he would compromise with harry reid and chuck schumer on replacing antonin scalia to the united states supreme court. [booing] >> i will not compromise away

your religious liberty. plow[applause] and i will not compromise away your second amendment right to keep and bear arms. [applause] and every justice i appoint to the court will be faithful to the law and will ferociously protect the bill of rights for your children and for mine. the third critical issue in this election is security. for 7 years we abandoned our friends and allies and we have shown weakness and appeasement to our enemies. two debates ago donald trump promised as president to be neutral between israel and the palestinians.

well, let me be clear. as president, i will not be neutral. america will stand unapologetically with the nation of israel. and anyone who cannot tell the continues between our friend and enemies, who cannot tell the continues between israel and islamic terrorists who seek to murder us, that raises real questions about their fitness and judgment to be commander-in-chief. donald trump says he will keep in place the iranian nuclear deal and try to renegotiate it. i will rip to shreds this iranian nuclear deal on the very first day in office.

over 7 years president obama has weakened and undermined the military. we have seen this before with a weak democratic president, jimmy carter who did the same thing. in january, 1981, ron cald -- rd reagan came into office. he cut tax, lifted regulations, he pulled government off the backs and necks of small businesses and we saw millions of high-paying jobs and generated millions in government revenue and he used that money to rebuild the military, to bankrupt the soviet union and win the cold war. i intend to do the exact same thing with radical islamic terrorists. we are going to repeal obamacare. pass a flat tax, lift the regulations, stop amnesty and

we'll see millions upon millions of high-paying jobs, trillions in government revenue and we'll use that revenue to rebuild the military so it remains the mightiest fighting force on the face of the planet. [applause] tomorrow we have a choice, a clear and simple choice. enough with the washington corruption. enough with the deception. with using government to benefit the rich and powerful at the expense of hard-working taxpayers. together we can turn thing around. if we stand together and remember the common sense free market principles that built america. once again standing together we can have morning in america. we can have morning in america.

[cheers and applause] now is the time for republicans to unite, for independents to unite, for libertarians to unite, for all of us who want a brighter nation to come together and stand as one, starting tomorrow morning, there is a clear choice, a clear and direct choice, and for everyone who wants to see a brighter tomorrow, we welcome to you our teams, we welcome you with open and welcoming arms. thank you, and god bless you. [cheers and applause] . neil: okay, ted cruz probably wanted to get the official results as you can see on the right side of the screen. with 99% of the expected vote in, and i think that's the difference, right, gary? not the precincts reporting, i don't understand the

distinction saying we're not comfortable with the call. this is a proportional, a proportional delegate state. in other words, with the 52 delegates there, and lou was reminding me that you start out with what did you say? >> winner take most. actually got a 50% threshold. >> absolutely right. neil: you could get half plus 12? >> if you get 50%, over 50% of the votes, you could take the entire thing. >> it's winner take all. >> winner take most following that, and if you win the race, you get 12 at-large delegates plus then the proportion. >> the bottom line is -- cruz would have turned around, it's trailing now, the margins don't mean anything, 3,000-vote margin. in that event, best-case scenario is he takes 30 of the 52? >> or more. neil: he could take 35.

he has lost another 130 delegate lead tonight to donald trump. so if the gap was 460-370 going into tonight, donald trump picked up nine from the northern marianna islands and picked up 225 from the other delegates. can we show the delegate count? where we stand now? so 619-394. the gap has widened by another 225 delegates between the two, and they were 99 apart going into tonight, and obviously, doing the math backwards, 150 delegates yet unaccounted for or not allocated. i think. so deirdre bolton, we might be obsessing too much about missouri. >> it's a pretty interesting state, though. il
