7:07 am
the democratic nomination. >> reporter: and clinton quickly added that she did not want to give the wrong impression and she is taking nothing for granted, robin, but perhaps a very telling slip-up. >> perhaps. cecilia, thank you. now to the republicans, donald trump looking to bounce back with a huge win here in new york after a recent string of losses to ted cruz. abc's tom llamas is at the polling location where trump is casting his vote today. good morning, tom. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. sometime soon we're expecting donald trump to walk into this room, pick up a ballot and do something he's going to take great pleasure in, walk right into that booth and vote for donald trump. you know, when he announced his candidacy few thought he would make it this far and almost no one thought now he'd be a front-runner. on this election day, donald trump expects only one thing, loyalty. >> no new yorker can vote for ted cruz and no new yorker can vote for kasich. >> r
7:08 am
supporters a win in new york puts him on the path to a showdown in november against hillary clinton. >> we're going to win and we're going to beat crooked hillary so badly that your heads will spin. >> reporter: but still in the way, senator ted cruz. >> maryland is a battleground. >> reporter: he's moved on from new york where trump is expected to shut him out and slow down cruz's momentum. after the texas senator strategically rounded up delegates in states not holding primaries. i asked trump about cruz's delegate strategy. is he the real dealmaker right now behind the scenes. >> no, i'm leading by millions of votes and by 200 delegates. no, we're doing really well. >> reporter: part of trump's success in new york turning around cruz's attacks on new york values, trump invoking the response to 9/11 as real new york values. but overnight trump trying to make that point but mistakenly invoking a convenience store. >> and i watched our police and our
7:09 am
>> reporter: he later corrected himself but the 7-eleven flub going viral. all right, and now we've also understood as he's on the cusp of his biggest victory yet donald trump's campaign is hitting the reset button, new staffers are being brought in led by paul manafort and his field director has told abc news he is resigning. it's unclear if more changes are on the way. >> that could just be the beginning. let's talk about it with matthew dowd right here. victory for donald trump here in new york, not in doubt but he needs close to a clean sweep. >> he's got to be careful not to be slurpee, i mean sloppy, in the course of this. no, he needs an 8 in front of his number and needs at least 80 something delegates in this state to go forward and still has as you know the possibility of clinching before july. i think really he can't get it by june 7th but he needs to start that
7:10 am
a large victory that as i say needs to have it be in the 80s on the number of delegates. >> jon karl, a good setup. next week in the northeast. after that the calendar gets tougher and struck by something mitt romney said yesterday repeating his call either ted cruz or john kasich has to get out of the race if you want to block trump. >> mitt romney is exactly wrong on this, by the way, because the only way to defeat trump is to keep him from getting 1,237 by the end of the process. when you have more opponents it's harder for trump to do that. if he gets a head-to-head match against him it will be gbigger. so trump needs kasich to get out of the race. >> on the democratic side you slowed that slip from hillary clinton. betrays a big confidence right now in the clinton camp. they want to pivot after tonight. >> you're already sort of starting to see her do that. her narrative has been trum
7:11 am
saying the margins will be much closer tonight than the polls show her going in so they're bracing for that. we did the math. if bernie sanders loses by ten points tonight he needs to win 80% of the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination. if he doesn't win tonight, the big question is what happens next? >> just real quickly, she doesn't need that because this is taking a toll on her overall favorability. >> when a candidate slips they are accidentally telling the truth. i think they're very frustrated, the campaign is, they thought they'd put it away but she needs a victory for her to go forward. >> thank you all very much and hillary clinton joins us live thursday with our coffee with the candidates town hall to answer your questions. robin. now to that big headline overseas. rescuers in a race against time to find survivors after that devastating earthquake in ecuador killed hundreds. this drone footage showing the damage. abc's linzie janis is on the scene now for us. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning, robin. we just arrived

7:32 am
i mean, i have zero regrets. >> reporter: laroche took his son to work with him pretty much every day for the past five seasons, a constant companion in the clubhouse, did chores for others and had a locker next to his dad's. have you ever heard from anyone who had an issue with drake being with you as much as he was? >> no, not that i can remember. >> reporter: but in early march laroche said he was approached by the team executive vice president kenny williams who initially asked had him to dial back drake's presence in the clubhouse but then told him not to bring drake around at all. >> he just said, enough is enough. i don't want to see your son around here anymore. >> reporter: after that heated conversation when did retiring start swirling around in your mind? >> probably 20 minutes later. >> reporter: a few days later laroche announced his decision to retire sparking a public debate about kids in the workplace. >> i also applaud adam laroche. >> i don't care if you're a dad

too much. >> reporter: and the logic of leaving so much money on the table. how much was money a factor when you were sitting down and making the decision? >> not a huge one. >> reporter: but, adam, 13 million is 13 million for six months of work. >> but i learned a long time ago no matter how much we have, it's never enough. >> is it fair to say you don't need the money. >> who doesn't need 13 million? >> apparently you. >> you know what i'm saying but i mean in the world, like it's -- i get it's an absurd amount of money. >> but have you had that moment at least where you stopped and thought to yourself what the hell was i thinking? >> i haven't yet but it's still fresh. >> reporter: as is often the case drake wasn't far from his dad's side even in the interview. what's the highlight going to the clubhouse every day? >> hanging out with the guys, you know. they're awesome. >> what was your role? what was your even job. >> i cleaned shoes most of the time. so i just did a little bit of

was. i had to play a game. he had to work. >> laroche calls drake his best tend and yes, he enjoyed spending time with him but a clubhouse provided better life lessons than any school could. >> the privilege of having him there, he gets to grow up and hopefully learn from me and my screwups and good decisions. >> reporter: laroche said the dispute over his son wasn't the only reason for his retirement. he spent ten days under cover in the red light districts of southeast asia last year working with a nonprofit organization to help victims of sex trafficking. he's been haunted by what he saw. >> i think having my own kid -- having two kids of my own especially a 12-year-old daughter, it's impossible not to picture, man, what if this is my daughter. >> baseball wasn't as important after that trip. >> it wasn't at all. >> reporter: laroche said he wants to continue that work in the future. for now he's enjoying some time with his family at peace with the decision to quit baseball. >> one of the things
7:35 am
thought the longest on was making sure that if i did this, that he would never feel like this was on his shoulders. i think he knows deep down that baseball was never like my life or my world or everything to me. you know, there's a lot more to life. >> all right, and hearing that people's -- hear the whole story and hearing it from him, and, george, maybe something you jumped out at you. the first thing he asked, is it okay if my son comes -- >> he had a deal. >> he had that agreement but it was a hand shake, wasn't in some contract, right? so maybe in practice once the white sox saw it, oh, didn't know it would be like this, this really is a lot of ways didn't have to happen. just a couple of people, grown men sit down and work it out. we probably didn't have to be here. >> but, you know, the thing is he's at peace with his decision. >> completely. >> very comfortable with it so more power to him. >> the whole interview, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with
