clinton. however, he should look over his shoulder because after last night, ted cruz is still a threat. he picked up delegates in texas, the biggest state. he won oklahoma. and then this morning, he won alaska, putting it all together. he's only about 100 or so delegates behind donald trump. still a threat. and that's why he's trying to consolidate the rest of the party, cruz is, saying let's everybody else drop out so we can focus on me beating donald trump. what's interesting about this race, we've seen it thus far, even after last night's results, disappointing for rubio, even more so for kasich and ben carson but none wanting to drop out. >> for hillary clinton, and what is ahead for bernie sanders? >> did his strategy work? yes, it did. he won four of the five states that he targeted. remember, he stayed away from those states in the south
