>> sir, one difference between this and a donald trump rally. i'm not asking anyone to punch you >> for mainstream republicans, the so-called establishment, this is the last stand in ohio and florida. i was struck by what mittid campaigning alongside john kasich yesterday. he said to his supporters, america is counting on you. matt and savannah? >> peter donald trump joins us by phone now. good morning to you. >> sed to have a saying about elections. he'd hold up the board and it'd io, ohio. if you win florida and ohio, you could be on your way to the nomination. you're going against the sitting governor, john kasich. he's never lost a statewide. could he ruin your night? >> well, he's 22-0 in terms of losing. he has lost every he's been in. i'll tell you what -- in terms

very, very poorly. i've spent a lot of time in youngstown. he is not a popular guy. he approved nafta.rove tpp, which is a total disaster. nafta destroyed ohio, took the businesses out, and he voted forlook what he's done. in favor of common core. he's just now come out in favor of amnesty and open the man is not very i don't. he has not won one race in terms of presidential. i guess he's 0 for i don't see it happening. i've been with the people of ohio. they hate the fact their coal and steel industries are gone.ng to do well in ohio. >> mr. trump, if you are able to win in ohio, win in florida, have a big night tonight, and ite you're on track to get the 1,237 delegates, do you

republican party, to fall in as the presumptive nominee? >> i do. they're already calling. i have the biggest people in the is such a thing because i'm not sure whether to use the word establishment, what it means. mitt romney, by the way, ran race perhaps in the history of presidential politics. >> who is calling? >> he's campaigning now for i think people are not digging mitt romney too much. that's for sure. they'll send him the signal. the biggest people in the party are t to sit down. they want to make things right. a lot of people are callinghey see what's happening. savannah, we brought millions of people, millions -- it's the biggest story in politicse brought millions of people in, and they're voting in the primaries. we're up 70%. the democrats are down 35%. there's no hillary, especially.

>> let me s of people are going to give us a tremendous victory in november. >> let me ask you about the d running in many states. it's an anti-trump pac. basically, it takes real women, and they repeat some of theou have said about women over the course of the last several months or year or so. it's very difficult to watch. would you like to take back of these comments you've made? >> let me just say about that, it was an ad put up by mitt . mitt romney is a sour guy. >> it's an anti-trump pac. no question. >> let me tell you, every single single state i've won, of which i've won, you know, a vast majority, but every single poll coming out, the exitith women. i lead with the military. i lead with the vets.

>> would you take back any of the quotes, anyth that you think in the light of day, well, maybe that wasn't the greatest thing to say? >> i have not seen the ad, so i'd have to seen it. i've heard about it but i havet seen the ad. >> donald trump, a huge day for you and the other candidates on both sides of the spectrum. thank you for your time >> thank you very much. let's turn to chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press." let's do the republicans before we turn to the seen where the delegates stand right now. lay it out for us, the vario >> most likely, basically, this is the if the polls are right. trump would win 3 of the 5. missouri. kasich with ohio. this is where we could stand. trump has a lead in the delegates but can't get to 7. under this scenario, what happens is, i'll go through it, you assume he wins 50% of the

es up, at least -- this is the rosiest scenario if he loses ohio -- about 50 short. is important. he gets ohio, they can't stop him. if he loses one of them, i think they stop him.short, i think, is a problem right now for him. >> if john kasich wins his home state of ohio, does it propel him or just allow him to hang >> i think it could propel him. next week, you have utah and arizona. kasich win in ohio, he could win in cruz could win arizona. it's about puncturing the balloon of trump. i feel like we say, trump could lose lucy and the football for the anti-trump forces. oh, this is the night they're going to get them. football is yanked away, trump wins 4 of 5 and can't stop we'll ask for your take on the democrats in a second. first, nbc's kristen welker is in miami to set the stage for good morning.

could be a turning point in the democratic race. secretary clinton feeling confident here in the tate of florida and also north carolina. senator sanders liking his chances in missouri and also state of illinois. ohio could be the state to watch. polls show clinton with a comfortable lead. both campaigns think it's closer, particularly afternders' surprise win in michigan, which showed his message on trade and the economy is resonating with voters in the midwest.ton has been touting her plans to bolster the manufacturing sector. the two have been take ing at town halls, both saved their sharpest attacks for the gop front runner donald trump. >> he's been building thisnt. he has been leading crowds in jeering protesters. he has been talking about

he's been encouraging the man handling of both, you know, people who arewell as journalists. >> this guy has insulted mexicans, muslims, women. he's insulted john mccain, a war hero. the american people won't vote for somebody like that. >> we're getting a snapshot of the race this morning to the latest nbc news/surveymonkey poll. clinton topped sanders nationally. it's a 13 point lead, down from the 17-point lead she had the last time the poll was conducted. if clinton has a strong night, she could all but put this race . if senator sanders has a big momentum. >> thank you. that sets the table nicely for chuck uspense on the democratic side. sanders is competitive in some states. >> take away

in the states tonight, we assume that she is going to win the two she could win by enough where she could lose the midwestern states here to win the night on delegates. ohio and illinois. first, the illinois stuff, there is a subplot here. mayor of chicago, rahm emanuel, so unpopular.s been attacking him. she could lose chicago and illinois. missouri looks like oklahoma, which is a state he won. he's definitely in comfortable e. this is the pivotal one, in ohio. moe mentum wise, if he wins 3 of 5, there's the sense of, look at after michigan, winning big states. even if he loses the night on delegates, the next seven contests, bernie sanders could win all seven and thed get serious and she could be in trouble. >> where would be her best entum back or get back on track? >> it'll take a month. you have to wait until april, pennsylvania, new york, connecticut, maryland.

arizona and utah, she could lose both. that's why tonight, she needs to win ohio and illinois to truly put this race away. >> what i take away, ohio, ohio, ohio, on both >> chuck, thank you. let's turn to major news out of washington and a first for the nfl. a high-ranking, league officialdging a link between football and a brain disease. willie has more on that. >> good morning. c.t.e. is a degenerative brain inked to head trauma. while the league settled a class action lawsuit tied to conclusions, it never acknowledged the link that changed on monday. >> reporter: a landmark admission from america's biggest league. for the first time in its history, the nfl admitting aween the brain disorder c.t.e. and the repeated head trauma football players suffer. the statement came monday in a committee from the nfl's senior vice president for

>> mr. miller, is there atween football and degenerative brain disorders like c.t.e.? >> research shows a number of nfl players were diagnosed with c.t.e. the answer is yes. but there are a number of questions that come with that. >> reporter: that research dating back to a study released found c.t.e. in 87 of 91 former pro players. the autopsy shows former players those who committed suicide, had the disorder. >> the broader point and the one your question gets to is what that necessarily do we go from here with that information? >> reporter: the admission is a departure from years of league policy. in 2013, the nfl settled a classith former players, paying $765 million. pledging future subject. but the league did not admit any wrongdoing. nor that football was the cause

in a statement to nbc news overnight, the league reiterated miller's point, that a lot moreds to be answered. adding, we want the facts to develop better solutions. that's why we're committed to advancing medical research on head trauma, including c.t.e., let the science go where the science goes. >> c.t.e. can only be diagnosed after death. with many athletes suffering diseases like early on set and als, this is looked at as a positive sign for people hoping changes come to the game they love to is a question parents have been asking, do i let my kids play football? now that you have the nfl talking about that link, that difficult question to answer. >> willie, thank you. also this morning, disturbingarning more about this u.s.-born, isis fighter, detained in northern iraq. for us. good morning.
