he's clearly got his sights set on the next couple of weeks. >> sure seems like that, paula, thank you very much. trump congratulated ted cruz on his win in delegate rich texas. >> he won di double digits speaking to abc news cruz used the win as a rallying cry saying he's the only candidate who can beat trump. >> so i hope that republicans instead make the decision let's come together, let's unite behind the only campaign that has beaten donald not once, not twice but three times across the country. >> all right, well, cruz labeled his victories in oklahoma, alaska and texas as a central turning point for his campaign. >> a couple of bright spots for marco rubio. besides his win he nearly beat trump in virginia after the p l polls closed, the florida senator spoke to a crude in miami criticizing donald trump. >> five days ago we began to

experience, 81% of democrats in blue said yes. 39% of the republicans in red. they want someone with experience, as well. just not as many. all the candidates on both sides apparently staying in the race despite the commanding leads held by both trump and clinton. >> a little earlier we spoke with our political team. >> the bottom line we have looked through republican divisions and the party is not divided. they're embracing donald trump. you see massachusetts and alabama and tennessee and arkansas and all these states regional diversity and ideological diversity inside the party and the thing is if you judge a party by its voters donald trump owns this party right now. it's just that the leaders are saying something different and they're not comfortable with it. the voters are speaking very clearly and very similarly across states. >> clinton looks absolutely unstoppable right now and she began this campaign as someone who was the likely nominee. she was the presumed democratic nominee. now she's earned it. she had that scare in
