joining me is clinton campaign manager, robby mook.fter separation tuesday. >> thank you. >> let me start with something that already came from the sanders' campaign this afternoon. they did a press call with reporters, and their argument is, it's only halftime and the calendar gets better for them from here on out. what do you say to that? >> both campaigns are going to win and lose contests moving forward. secretary clinton said at the beginning of this campaign, she's going to work hard to win every single vote and every single delegate and that's what we're doing. but the fact is at this point, she already had a virtually insurmountable lead going into tuesday. she added 40% to her net lead over senator sanders. and that lead is only going to increase as we pick up more delegates. the senator can talk about a caucus here or there that he might win, but the other way to look at this is the popular vote. and secretary clinton now has 2.5 million more votes than senator sanders in this race. and that is because democrats are coming ar

lighthearted comments in "the new york times" story, you're referring to, robby mook saying i've got to get me some trump. a joke to some people. let me ask you about ted cruz, he hopes that he wins in texas, but it's not a sure thing, is it? >> it's not a sure thing. even if he wins, if trump comes in close second they'll roughly share the delegates. this is ted cruz, a cliche, his alamo, he needs to win. all of the candidates who project themselves as al tern ittii ittii alternative to trump needs to win their home state. cruz is a diminished candidate. he thought south carolina would be his. tonight a lot of states evangelicals voting. he looked at what happened to the tea party in 2010, the tea party in 2014, tea party voters and evangelical voters and said here's my path to the nomination and donald trump has stolen his toys, if you will. you heard he spent 4 of the last 7 days in texas defending his home turf instead of trying to expand and win other states. tells you everything you need to know, if he wins he will be able to stand up and say i'm the only guy who has beaten tru

. >> which is why robby mook, the campaign manager said today that sanders had spent all this money and didn't get any where, in ohio, and that had run a negative ad that backfired. >> bernie still gets a lot of credit for changing the tone of the campaign, pulling hillary clinton towards -- >> enough about the e-mails. >> and so, you know, he has gotten a lot of what he has wanted. he has affected, an independent socialist senator from vermont who has shaped the whole national political discourse. that's tremendous. he probably wants to do more of that. i don't think he cares about a cabinet position. >> her camp has to figure out how to deal with the truths that has emerged, and grab the neo cons that need a new home. they're not going to be for trump. or let the republicans split. that could work for her too t wouldn't be good for the country. david corn, thank you, ann, thank you. supreme court showdown, president obama offers a judge with pass bipartisan backing and republicans vowing not to country him for the high court. i'll speak to two members of the senate judiciary committee

now, this memo is penned by the campaign manager robby mook.u a key excerpt of the race that will get the bernie sanders' campaign boiling. "we have no doubt that as long as senator sanders remains in the primary, he will continue to win elections along the way but it will make little difference to hillary's pledged delegate lead. in order to catch up, sanders doesn't just have to start winning a few states but he needs to start winning everywhere and by large margins. this is why it is very difficult for him to close the large gap in delegates." in many ways, bernie sanders, while he has an uphill battle right now to try to reclaim the lead from hillary clinton and hillary clinton certainly has the wind at her back, he still can remain in the race and continue to collect delegates. >> i've got to say, that sounds exactly like conference calls i was on the phone with david plough working for them barack obama. it's like de ja vu, the exact same argument. >> why, then, mark preston, if they are putting out this memo, why don't they just say, ber

joining us now, robby mook, the hillary clinton campaign manager. much for joining us. what do you anticipate out of michigan tonight? >> well, wolf, we believe that michigan's going to be closer than a lot of the public polling has shown, but secretary clinton has finished very strong the last few days. she had a great debate performance. she ran on an affirmative proactive message about how we create more good paying manufacturing jobs in michigan and around the country, so we think we're going to have a very good night whether we win or lose in michigan, she will add to her delegate total that she accumulated starting back in nevada. between the delegates she earns in michigan and mississippi. i think the stakes for the sanders campaign are very high, however. they have been talking for some weeks about how important michigan is. they went all in, put all their chips on the table. they outspent us. they unleashed their harshest attacks to date. and they said this is a make-or-break state. we'll wait to see the results. we feel very good about a s

here's robbie mook. >> nina scenario where senator sanders were to win all three of the states that he is targeting in the midwest -- ohio, illinois and missouri -- we would still expect to win significantly more delegates on the 15th. >> reporter: this is the situation where we've seen again and again bernie sanders has the momentum sometimes, but hillary clinton has the math, shep. >>> we're learning more about how bernie sanders pulled off that surprise win in michigan last night. despite secretary clinton's double-digit lead in the polls going in team fox coverage continues with fox business network jolene kent has a look at the exit polls. some of the polls really stood out, jo. >> reporter: especially bernie sanders and how he did among men. you can see he actually won pretty significantly. we want to show you all the exit poll data. he won 55 to 44. that's by 12 points. then bernie sanders also won among white voters, shep, by 16 points. that's usually a place where senator clinton has been strong in the past. and then young voters, no surprise here, given his policies on public

own, you know, cautionary stuff over the last couple of weeks, saying michigan might be tough, robby mook'semo said it might be tight. people didn't believe it was only seeing the results when the race was finally called after midnight that it finally like clicked for everyone on the clinton team that she lost. >> you know, bernie sanders had come down here, right, and ended up doing a press conference in front of a brown wall that watts last thing like a victory party. talk about what it was like inside the bubble last night. >> it was hastily put together that press conference. i think they thought it would be closer. they had it 15, 20%. they thought it would be close, like maybe there is a chance they could do well, but definitely not to the point where they were prepared to have a stage, to have the audience. bernie sanders is ready to go to sleep and call a night. >> he gave a statement and then uncharacteristically didn't take questions. i gather he has been a little annoyed, i could tell from afar about all the questions about when you are dropping out, why aren't you dropping out.

if robby mook were charged, would you as a matter ever forum, step aside. >> that's such a wild hypothetical that is completely, you know, not at all something that would ever happen in our campaign, like, i mentioned a couple of weeks ago and the incident first happened, that you know, our campaign manager, his idea of what he likes to do when he is not crunching numbers in the office, he goes door-to-door, knocking to convince people, persuade people on behalf of his candidate. he is not in the crowd serving as a bouncer. that's a strange thing. >> wisconsin primary is really important. hillary clinton, no plans as far as we know, bill clinton, chelsea hasn't been there. why are your principals not there. >> all the states coming up are important. the new york primary on the 19th, she is going to bakely kick off her campaign in new york with an event. >> that's over two weeks away. >> here's why i think the new york primary looms large. you know, the wisconsin primary, i think, there is a lot of reasons he's going to be quite competitive there. i think on balance, no matter who wins, deleg

. >> well, if you believe it is out of reach as robby mook wrote in his memo, should bernie sanders stop her? >> no, that's his decision to make. by all indications he is intending to stay in the race. that's his right as hillary clinton herself said. she pointed out that in 2008 she remained in the race all the way through the end of the voting. senator bernie sanders is quite frankly going to do well. there's a bunch of caucus states out west that i know his campaign is targeting and we expect he may rack up some victories among those states, but our point is just that the delegate math is such that we're confident at the end of this process hillary clinton will be our nominee. >> she was already going after donald trump in her victory speech last night, talking about we need a commander in chief who defends the country, doesn't embarrass the country. clearly targeting trump. you're pivoting to donald trump. he is already pivoting to you. i don't know if you've seen this instagram he put up, but let's watch. ♪ [ barking sounds ] [ laughter ]. >> so, from donald trump, we don't need a p

even if clinton were to lose ohio, illinois, and missouri, her campaign manager robbie mook bre predicted we will add to our already commanding pledged delegate lead and will be a significant step closer to securing the nomination." the mast is on clinton's side, her problematic is the message. >> and that message, following up on this stunning michigan defeat, last night on "with all due respect" you asked a clinton surrogate why did they lose michigan. how could they have blown a 21-point lead. the response was pretty stunning which was there was no response. they don't know how they blew a 21-point lead. what happened? >> bernie sanders drove a strong message there. he had more television advertising on than she did and she did not drive, as she never has, a strong explanation of how she would do better for jobs and trade is more of a huge issue of michigan than any other state. i agree with what mika just read from the "journal" but not about the calendar, not about the math. bernie sanders has to survive this coming tuesday when five big states vote that he's not particularly strong

robbie mook and marlin marshall. deserves the kudos. and now she gets to go up against a candidate in donald trump who can't bring anybody together anymore because he's absent in moral clarity. >> thank you both very much, great to get your analysis. >> can i talk to you real quick? >> go ahead. >> do you know this guy was doing other stuff without us last night on tv and didn't let us know? >> tell me about it. >> just so he could get on late night laughs. you will see it when he goes toe to toe with seth meyers. how come we didn't know? >> they said they wanted the pretty one. >> oh don't flatter yourself. >> ha ha. it's a sign of early gum disease... listerine(r) can help reverse... early gum disease in just two weeks. listerine(r). power to your mouth™!
