6:32 pm
raise your right hand.

6:34 pm
to hillary clinton, suggesting to vote, really, for anyone but trump? >> reporter: that's right, david. it may sound counterproductive, because romney is helping two candidates, but the ultimate reason is the same. to take votes away from donald trump, which could lead to aconvention. david? >> tom, thank you. see you as the night moves on and the results come in. now, to the m democratic side tonight. and the question from some. could this be the last stand for bernie sanders, looking to beat hillary clinton in michigan tonight. and mrs. clinton looking to build an unbeatable lead. already turning per focus to the republicans, promising voters overnight, she will never allow donald trump to be elected president. and tonight, senator bernie sanders facing some very tough math to defeat clinton. our political team telling us, he would have to win every single remaining state by an average of ten points. and, in a new abc news poll tonight, clinton ahead national nationally by seven points, but going into the michigan primary

6:36 pm
and if we win it, we look forward very much to have secretary clinton's support. >> reporter: but in order to get enough pledged delegates to sew up the nomination, he has to win every remaining contest by ten points, including michigan. >> obviously, i want to win, but if we end up with almost half the delegates, that's good, as well. you guys ready to make history? >> reporter: in the hours before the michigan polls close, the two have dueling radio ads. clinton claiming sanders voted against the auto bailout. >> on tuesday, march 8th, vote for the one candidate who stood up for the auto industry. >> reporter: sanders is countering that. >> bernie voted for the auto rescue package. but washington has always had a funny relationship with the truth. >> david wright with us live, as well, tonight. and david, you were with sanders. he's well aware of the math we spoke of. he basically has to win everything from this point on. but he's not showing any signs of slowing down? >> reporter: that's right, david.
