besides his endorsement by chris christie, charlie baker here in massachusetts will not say who he voted for. what does that say to you? >> well, what he did say is that he didn't vote for donald trump and what that says to me is that donald trump can't evolve into the pool of the republican establishment. he's created a lot of ways and republicans like charlie baker and like republicans in washington uncomfortable. they are not sure what donald trump is going to say any minute and not ready to stick their reputation on endorsing i'm when they're still going off the deep end. >> is it likely we'll see fewer candidates on stage with republicans? i don't think so. i think it's too close and rubio still is waiting for florida. >> he doesn't have a win, though. >> and that's a problem. i think there will be pressure on him to get out but i don't think he's gonna get out. me plenty of money. kasich is a midwestern governor. waiting for ohio, he's waiting for michigan. ben carson doesn't seem to listen to anybody. so i think we're gonna see a full stage. and that's good for donald trump, becau

charlie baker of massachusetts came out, a few other people have.on't know if any of these things have gotten as much attention as governor christie's endorsement of donald trump. how much do you think that is helping donald trump stabilize this commanding position he is in? tim: it exposed the fact that chris christie's entire campaign was a farce. he was running for office as the tell it like it is candidate. talking hard truths about the policies our country has to address. and then he endorsed the candidate who offers no policy specifics and wants to tell people the opposite of hard truths. donald trump tells people what they want to hear. he says what people wish you would say. he is not telling hard truths. he's a complete phony and a fraud. the fact that chris christie is going to support him just so he can continue to get on tv standing behind donald trump around a lot of fake gold chandeliers and whatnot reflects poorly on him. to the extent that he has gotten a lot of media coverage, a huge portion of it has been accrued it negatively towa

people like will well, and mitt romney, and people like the current governor, charlie baker, moderate republicans, people in the main strem, calmer republicans like massachusetts politics, and trump did so well there. and the way in which ted cruz did so well in texas. he really won by a lot there. and there are people saying that ted cruz spoke to his donor base, saying that if i didn't win texas, i would have won the race. he won by so much there, that he really sees a way forward for himself. and those are the surprises to me. i think that we all thought donald trump was going to have a very good night. >> i want to push you more, you're hearing that those establishment republicans have a plan that if trump wins the nomination, the delegates take the nomination from him at the convention, do you see that happening? >> you know, here's what could happen. if he doesn't have the numbers when he gets to the convention, if that's the situation, or if in fact, you know, he has enough numbers, but there's a group trying to stop him from being president, none of the people you're talking a

we all know just like our own charlie baker here in massachusetts, the reformer governor john kasich verydeficits and made them huge surpluses. created over 400,000 new jobs in ohio. in congress, he was the architect of the very last time, very last time that was everal budget balanced, that it ever showed a surplus and that the debt went down. that was governor john kasich and i think we need more of that in washington today. we need that leadership. but you have to vote tomorrow. your friends out to vote tomorrow, your friends and your family. that's the only way we're going to do it. massachusetts needs to send a message to the rest of our republican party that we're serious, that we want our what he'sto know talking about and we want our candidate to be able to win in is governor that john kasich. [applause] now, it is my pleasure to lady ofe the first ohio, and with your support and tomorrow, the first lady of the united states of karen kasich. [applause] karen: thank you. thank you very much and thank all for being here this afternoon. i've got to say i'm thrilled to be back in

he won there last night but their very popular republican governor charlie baker said he wouldn't vote for trump yesterday, wouldn't support donald trump come november. so why are the leaders at odds with the voters here? >> well, i think that there a few republican parties right now. i don't -- it wasn't so long ago we were talking about the republicans making sure donald trump did not run as an independent. well, now the republican party may run as an independent and donald trump looks to be the nominee. i think that what you're finding is that the voters out there after eight years of president obama, they feel like the establishment didn't do anything for them, their incomes haven't risen, they're upset. so this is the way to express it by going to the polls. now donald trump says a lot of other things that people like mitt romney object to. and that's what mitt romney's going to talk about. >> it interesting that mitt romney, you know, is sounding more like the left than -- >> but it isn't a simple right-left thing. donald trump, for example, this has not gotten as much attention

marco rubio and ted cruz tied for second place, will today determine who top republican charlie baker will endorse? we know it won't be donald trump. coming up at 6:00, we'll show you video from trump's latest rally is making headline, checking on that at 6:00, susie steimle, wbz "this morning". >>> a new york man convicted of killing a popular ipswitch restaurant owner behind bars. sung and two others planned to rob the majestic dragon got inside, their plan turned violent. they beat and stabbed owner tony wu while trying to get him to open the safe. son was sentenced yesterday. >>> police identifying the victim as 34-year-old alex perez, someone found him lying unresponsive on a sidewalk sunday afternoon. he was later pronounced dead at the hospital. investigators say there were no signs of obvious trauma, and they hope an autopsy will give them more information. >>> a fake crime scene causes a big scare in west bridgewater, a mother dropping her kids off at school saw what she thought was the body in a field yesterday and called 911. police showed up, they called for back up, it tu

massachusetts primary and won it convincingly and a couple days later the republican governor charlie baker came out against him. >> not only against him. >> that's not what you normally see in politics. >> but that is massachusetts, a strong republican state for trump. >> but he won south carolina, lindsey graham and nikki haley have come out against him. >> i wonder what the tipping point will be. when will the members of congress think it is worth endorsing him? are they holding back for the politics or on principle? a lot of people from conservative states you would think by now might have endorsed him. >> i think they want to see how it plays out. they want to see will there be a conservative candidate. how do they play that? can they duck and bob and weave? you know, do a muhammad ali? so i think this is something that really has him traumatized. >> we should say ted cruz and john kasich are not picking up all the endorsements either. a lot of people still on the fenls. ted cruz has a big day tomorrow. we'll talk about his chances in those two important states up next. mark: out in th
