correspondent, philip, in washington, d.c. philip, if we could briefly talk about this threat from donald trump, a threat he is reviving to force mexico to pay for a border wall, his exact plan would impact millions of people in the united states. philip: yes, and the mexican economy. this is the first time there has been a relatively clear plan presented by donald trump. it was presented to "to the washington post" in a memo. says --lly, it presented to "the washington in a memo. essentially, it says it would leave the mexican economy with a severe lack of money which, according to president obama, would cause even more mexican immigrants to want to make their way to the united states. that is how he wants to finance

this. that doesn't mean his supporters are against the plan. this is something he mentions in every single campaign event, first, that there will be a wall between all of the border between mexico and the united states and that the country that pays for it would be, indirectly according to his plan, mexico itself. with donaldng trump, as we tend to do, polls show he will be losing to ted cruz in wisconsin's primaries. are we able to read into that how trump is doing nationally? philip: there are all sorts of things one can read into that. it could be a turning point in the election, but only with a lot of hindsight in a few months time. this might be the moment when the anybody but trump campaign that the republican party establishment started a few weeks ago has its first effects. they would like ted cruz to win the primary in wisconsin despite the fact that the same

republican party establishment and pretty much everybody them politics in washington does not like senator ted cruz either. but having donald trump as the nominee is seen as a lot worse by the republican party for one main reason. according to the polls that predict a matchup between donald trump and hillary clinton on the democratic side, in the eventual november presidential election, polls see donald trump as losing to hillary clinton very easily. that is why the republican party establishment wants anybody possible to win other than donald trump. this time around, it could be very -- it could very well be senator ted cruz of texas. there is a third candidate in the raise, ohio governor john kasich, who is taking votes from donald trump and ted cruz. both would like him to leave the race, but right now, it is still a three horse race for the nomination. we could be seeing a rare defeat
