7:04 am
in ohio and florida he may need more than just his core base. george. >> thanks. donald trump joins us now by phone in palm beach. five big states. how many are you going to win? >> well, i'd like to say five but i would never say anything. i want to see what happenen it's always a complicated process but i think we're going to do very well. we seem to be having great poll numbers. >> if you lose one or two, especially ohio, the chances of a contested convention go way up and rivals especially ted cruz are organizing for that. are you ready for a delegate by delegate contest in cleveland? >> well, i think'm going to do well in ohio. i was there last night. we had an amazing stop in youngstown, and you know we're talking to the people and you look at what's happened and, you know, kasich supported nafta, he's now supporting ppp which is going to totally destroy ohio. it's going to take all of the carrusiness out of ohio and you look at what he's doing and you
7:05 am

7:06 am
by paying those fees, wouldn't that be rewarding violence? >> well, maybe so and maybe that's why i wouldn't do it. i don't condone violence at all and, you know, i looked and i watched and i'm going to make a decision but i certainly don't condone violence and maybe you're right and maybe that's why i wouldn't do it. >> and you've also said, you know, said a peace-loving person but many have talked about the various things you saiai on the trump that seem to encourage violence, so based on what you're saying right now are you goinin to be toning down your own rhetor for the next phase? supply don't think i should be because i've had the biggest rallies of anybody, probably ever in terms of primaries and there's not even a contest and we haveead very, very little difficulty. we closed down one i i chicago, other than that, i mean we've had very, very little difficulty. if you look at when you have 25 and even 3535,000 people at these rally, we've had very, very little difficulties. >> finally one of the super pacs
7:07 am
new ad where it has women quoting you saying things you said about other women. i was wondering have you seen that and what did you make of it? >> well, you know, i have seen it and it was a romney deal. you know, who ran one of the worst races in the history of presidential politics. he should have easily beaten the failed president obama and it's a lot of sour grapes. women, if you look at the women's polling, arere leaving the booths, women i'm leading by a lot and i've done very well with women and with men and with educated and with the military and with vetst i mean, we're doing well in every category but i'm leading withomen and i'm very happy about it. >> mr. trump, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. >> a possible reversal on the legal fees. >> it does seem that way. all the campaigns are very busy. we'll look live at the kasich campaign. hard at work i in columbus, ohio and we're joined now by the republblan presidential candidate, john kasich. good enough to join us live this

showdown in ohio. he joins us from westerville. governor, good morning to you on this very busy and important tuesday morning. we just heard from donald trump. he was very critical of your record in ohio@ among things saying that you supported nafta. how do you respond to what he said? >> well, we'rep over 400,000 jobs. we're one of the fastest growing states in america. i've cut tacks by more than any sitting governor. we're running a $2 billion surplus surplus. our credit is rock solid. our pensions are very strong and we've left no one behind. we've helped mentally ill, drug addicted, the working poor and the same formula i used when i was chairman of the budget committee and balanced the budget in washington and saw a tremendous growth in jobs so both in washington and in ohio i've used the same formula, we have come out of the very bad situation here and we're doing really, really well and the
7:09 am
and, look, this is the way it is on election eve, all the time, and, you know, as arnold schwarzenegger told me years ago, john, in politics you have to learn to love the beatings and i do. just another election. >> and the numbers a in your favor right now. some of the polls are showing you at a slight lead -- >> we're going to win in ohio. we've got great momentum. >> is it a make or break? do you have to win ohio? >> yeah, we have to -- we're going to win ohio. don't worry about it. you'll see tonight. we're going to win ohio. we'll do better in illinois than anybody thinks and i'll be campaigning all across this country. we're getting momentum and for the first time,'ve been getting attention here in the last couple of weeks and a lot people in ohio watched me inn the debates and would say how come they don't ask kasich any questions. finally i'm starting to get some time and we feel very good. our ground game is terrific and, look, i have about a 79%
7:10 am
republicans in ohio, and i think they're just rewarding two things, one is a good record and, secondly, the fact that i've run an unwaveringly positive campaign. i'm not going to take the low road to the white house as we've seen some do. >> sir, h difficult has that been? we've seen mayhelp. we have seen violence. we have seen name-calling and you have stayed above the fray. how difficult has that been or has it? >> well, it's not been difficult because i have an obligation to the 11.5 million people who live in ohio, and, of course, to my family. i have two 16-year-old daughters and when i look at the things i saw at that rally and i i see in rallies and the rhetoric, it's disgracefufu frankly. i mean, we're not a country that spends its time slugging each other in the aisles or where the people who want to lead the country are insulting every group that he faces.s. i mean, they're blasting these images all over the world and i'm sure people are shaking
7:11 am
happening to america? so it's been very easy for me to be positive because i think you win with vision. i think you win t trump voter as somebody who has a record and accomplishs and a vision. i think today, you know, when politicians' lips move people think they're lying, and the reason i talk about my record is because i want everybody to examine it. i want everybody to unerstand that i have done these things. these are not just promises, these are tlngs i've accomplished and the people of the state are better off as a result and when i was in washington, the people and the country were better off as a result so i'm very happy with what we've done. >> i know as i said very busy, important day. we really appreciate you joining us this morning, governor kasich, thank you. >> all right,ive my best to george. >> oh, he's right here. >> i'm right here, governor. >> we already have our first results from the day. also a contest innorthern mariana island and donald trump has won all nine delegates. hillary clinton's campaign hard at work and bernie sanders' campaign out there, as well in

and hillary hopes to win in florida and north cararina but bernie sanders pushing hard for upsets across the midwest and cecilia vega has the latest from chicago. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. the polls are already open re. this may be the state where hillary clinton was born, but bernie sanders is hoping for a big win here and today he needs not jus to win some states, he needs to win some delegates. in this race to the finish, bernie sanders on a whirlwind tour. on monday alone stopping in four of the five states voting today. his finalal stop, chicago. >> let u see this great state lead the country into a political revolution. >> reporter: hillary clinton making a campaign pit stop of her own overnight in north carolina. >> you know, i had to come back to charlotte because i love the name. >> reporter: but this morning
7:13 am
in ohio where sanders is approaching on clinton's lead. >> reporter: people saying bernie sanders winning ohio, no way. wellllguess what, we have a good vote tomorrow, people come out. we're going to win here in ohio. >> reporter: a buckeye state loss while not enough to block clinton's path to the nomination would be an embarrassing setback. >> i am asking for your support. i would be honored to receive it. i hope to be your nominee. >> reporter: and while both candidates have their hopes on pulling off a victoto today, in dueling towow halls overnight, their focus was all about donald trump. >> we have a major candidate for president of the united states, donald trump, who is literally inciting violence among his supporters. >> people remember mob violence that led to limping. >> reporter: yeah, to get a sense of how these candidates are feeling about today, look no further than where they had headed tonight. hillary clinton goes to florida
7:14 am
double-digit lead and hoping for aa victory party and bernie sanders goes to arizona, george, where they vote next week. >> he's looking ahead. cecilia, thanks very much. let's talk about it with jon karl, matthew dowd and, jon, let me begin with yound the democrats. i think the clinton campaign bracing for anoer night like last tuesday where they got beat in michigan. it's close n in ohio. in missouri, in illinois. could set up this kind of situation where she wins more delegates but also has real weaknesses revealed. >> reportete that's right. that was a complete shock in michigan. one of the biggest upsets we have seen. bernie sanders is in a much stronger position now in ohio and missouri than going into michigan so he could easily come out of today actually winning more states but, again, not necessarilyinning more delegates because hillary clinton is poised to win very big in florida and north carolina. >> and, matt, on the republican side you saw donald trump. he said he'll talk about a contested convention tomorrow. will we be talking about that tomorrow?
7:15 am
i recall shakespeer and julius caesar said beware the ides of march. it's likely to be the establishment candidate. if donald trump sweeps there won't be a contested convention. if he loses one of the big ones and looks like it's to be ohio, the contested convention is coming our way and we'll have an unbelievable time,,he republicans will and us in the media in ohio in cleveland when that comes but i think tonight what's going to happen is the last bastion of the tablishment is probably going to lose and that's what is amazing about the race. >> we'llsee what happens and i'll be here for live updates as election results come in. now today's other top headlines from amy. >> all right, george. we have breaking news out of germany where a car exploded on a street in berlin during rush hour. the driver was killed. no one else was hurt. police believe it was a bomb but they are not saying whether they believe it was a failed attack. back here in this country for the first time the nfl is acknledging a link between

8:18 am
news article online. it was all to promote a new line of dresses, the problem, according to regulators, lord & taylor didn't make it clear the whole thing was a paid advertisement. it's an expertly executed ad campaign, 50 of the hottest fashion bloggers all in the same paisley dss all over instagram paid as much as $4,000 each to post these pics on the same day. rachel and rachel got the dress for free and among the trend setters behind the ad blitz, lord & taylor. >> they reached out and said we have this dress from design lab and want to send it to 00 influencers and see how they style it and promote it. >> and had us all post at the same time between 12 p p. and 3 p.m. and then post it tagging lordrd taylor. >> reporter: the campaign, a huge success. lord & taylor selling out of the dress almost immediately. the photobomb reaching more than 11 million instagram users in
8:19 am
but this morning, regulators are calling into question the retail giant's tactics. >> consumers are looking at posts on instagram, they have no idea andthey think this person who's fashion sense i value likes this dress and they don't know that it's there because lord & taylor paid the influencer. >> reporter: the ftc settling charges saying lord & taylor violated federal law claiming the department store giant duped customers by failing to disclose it paid for the posts in exchange for endorsements. do you think your followers know you get paid for these post >> yeah, i think now like blogging is like an understood thing as a career. i wouldn't say like every single person knows, but majority does now. >> reporter: in a statement lord & taylor telling "good morning america" "when it came to our attention that there were potential erins we took immediate action to ensure that clear disclosures were made. we cooperated fully with the ftc's inquiry into this matter. there is no indication of % wrongdoing whatsoever."
8:20 am
accused ofany misconduct were asked by lord & taylor within a week after the original post went out to include #add in their photos they did include that and they did say their ople, the people that follow them, they know they're authentic and true to their core and knew what they were getting. >> let's talk to tory johnson about this right now. lord & taylor did the right thing here? >> absolutely. in terms of complying with whatever the ftc has asked them to comply with, the law is the law and it's designed to help protect consumers to makeehem aware of when someone is being paid to make a endorsement or a recommendation. >> we should say you do the "deals & steals" every week. never paid. >> we are never paid by thecans. i'm paid by abc, not by the companies we feature. it's a service we provide to viewers and i think it's reall important that "a," we follow the law so bloggers have to follow the law and i think there's a little gray area in terrells of give consumers a lot of credit. i think consumers, we decide
8:21 am
instagram ptos we want to see in our feed and whether or not someone is getting paid to make a recommendation at the end of the day if i don't think that dress is cute, the buck stops with me. i'm not going to open my wallet simply because a blogger, a celebrity, somebody told me it's a cute dress. >> if you don't like it, if you do, you do. >> exactly. >> the product, does that have any bearing. >> i think the product has some bearing. looking, this is a dress. it would be different if this was a drug and there was a blblger that was being paid to make falal claim, this secret smoothie made me lose weight evenhough it didn't. that's an absolute violation. >> anything having to do with health really. >> absolutely. absolutely. it's a dress and with apparel, accessories, there's a lot of pa endorsements, paid posts that are going on and i would just have a to bloggers, be careful because you've worked really hard to reach that influencer status and you don't want to have a black eye because you didn't include #ad. just disclose it. >> #ad. >> thanks, tory.
