every other bad week he's had, the voters have bailed him out. he would have this horrible week leading up to it and people think this is going to impact him now, he will lose new hampshire, south carolina. huh-uh. this is why tuesday we have not seen a situation that we hear to be heading no which is trump has a bad week punctuated by a bad loss. what does that do, does it stiffen their spines. do you see more people quietly rooting against trump privately and the republican party suddenly go public. you'll hear today from a republican senator from wisconsin who on one hand said earlier this week i think trump could help me in my re-election and then praised and you of the apity trump people in wisconsin. so it was clear he was trying to send the message he wasn't a big fan but didn't want to quite say it. what happens win voters say it. do more people feel comfortable being critical of truffle. so he's trying

fix his problems in wisconsin. >> if ted cruz wins wisconsin, does it come down to by how much he wins? >> well, no. well, it might a little bit the. but i think it really will be now look toward new york and whether they have the ability to stop him. and to prevent him from getting the delegates. in many way what is is happening in the primaries are important, but what happens during the state conventions might be more important. for instance trump has won the most delegates in tennessee, but this weekend they chose who the delegates are. the delegates they chose to be trump delegates are not fans of trump. they have to vote for him on the first ballot and in tennessee's case the secretary ballot, but the list they picked are not trump people. trump people are unhappy because on the third ballot, they're out. that's the problem he's facing. >> after a week like we saw with trump, good day to watch "meet the press". you can catch it 13 1/2 minutes or so from
