>> speaking of phycology, there was a write up in the "new york times" that collected the evidence on how trump might do in a general election. mr. trump has become unaccessible to broad swaths of americans, including large majorities of women, non-whites, hispanics, voters under 30, those with college degrees, and independents, too. >> the phycology of trump's supporters is what you have to watch. they are -- he said a few weeks ago he could walk out on fifth avenue and shoot people and not lose support. that may be true. it turns out, you can't shoot from the hip on national security. all those groups you named, especially women and independents, they don't do reckless things in the voting booth. he's feeling like a dangerous and reckless choice on matters of national security. >> as we look to wisconsin tomorrow on the democratic side, mark, if bernie sanders wins in wisconsin, and then has two weeks of no other contests leading up to new york, what's the effect on the clinton campaign? >> again, it's phycology. he's going to draw huge crowds

there's going to be a debate here. if he weren't behind in delegates, this would be a toss-up race. he has more money, raising more, states that are favorable coming up and a line of argument against her that is appealing to democratic voters. she has to have two weeks of pain she can end if she wins in wisconsin. >> mark and nicolle, appreciate it. breaking news overnight. happened at one of the nation's busiest airports. newark had to be evacuated because of a boiler room fire. the fire broke out about 1:00 a.m. fire was put out and the building reopened. a few hours later, the fire rekindled, forcing yet another evacuation. several flights were cancelled and others delayed. this morning, the terminal is up and running again. we've got another big story
