he will not be charged with battery for whatever happened with that reporter from breitbart's michellelate. a lot of the organization had to happen months ago. the lack of organization in the non primaries which is hurting him would not matter as much if he was following the trajectory. the previous frontrunners are moving up. john mccain in 2008 hit 50% in 11 consecutive contests to drive mike huckabee from the contest. donald trump has not hit 50% in any state. he probably will in new york. if he had, his delegate numbers would look better than they do. with corey lewandowski, the standard for a crime, obviously, is one thing. i think a lot of the political damage has been done to him and donald trump when he tweeted the reporter was delusional. >> ron brownstein. happy debate day. >> happy debate day. >>> new details leading up to the shooting death of former nfl player will smith. what the prosecutor is now saying. that story just ahead. ♪ ♪ (laughing) there's nothing like making their day. except making sure their tomorrow is taken care of too. financial guidance while you're mast

i want to ask you, this is actually exclusive to breitbart but i made a note of it.r colorado senate republicans basically put down an initiative that would have allowed a state primary this year. reportedly three of them are cruz delegates. so sometimes people read things like, oh, this system is rigged. >> well, of course, all of these systems were set last year before october. so in september of 2015. you may recall that ted cruz was at about 2% and 5% in the national polling at the time. nobody took him seriously. nobody thought trump would last this long. now they're only two contenders left. , hard to say the system is designed to -- ted is establishment candidate. he went to washington and did what he said he was going to do was fighting the washington leadership. he has done that he has paid a price for that. he bled for that. he carries it out on to the presidential campaign trail. he has track record to prove it. to demonstrate to people that he will take that attitude into the white house. he is the guy who will turn the place upside down. a lot of people

with the case say lewandowski will not be prosecuted for battery after this incident with former breitbartorter, michelle fields. fields said lewandowski grabbed her as she was asking a question. let's bring in defense attorney dan danny self ales. you are not surprised. >> not at all surprised. even though the elements of a battery were probably met under the florida statute, which really only requires an intentional touching without consent, the reality is, once you step away from the law books, this is not the kind of case that a prosecutor in florida or anywhere else is going to be interested in taking to trial. there was, as -- this is unusual in the sense that there was a ton of evidence. there's video evidence, audio evidence, witness testimony. and you usually don't have that in the typical battery case which is often he said, he said, or he said, she said. but when you look at this evidence, a florida prosecutor, like anywhere else, has much more serious battery cases and in the spectrum of batteries that criminal defense attorneys and prosecutors say, this is simply on the lowest

that the campaign manager corey lewandowski not going to be prosecuted for the incident with that breitbart reporter last month. he was charged with simple battery. an announcement is expected to take place. we'll pull those up on the screen for you. fields tweeting, quote, the prosecutor's office told me they would inform me of the decision tomorrow. if the reports are true, i guess they decided to leak to reporters first ugly and for those asking office of prosecute iras of two weeks ago if i'd be okay with an apology from cory, i said, yeah, but haven't heard back about it. again, for that. so a pair of feuds, one with the rnc we've been talking about, another one with megyn kelly. here's some of what donald trump had to say about the state of his relationship as it were with fox news. >> i'm not at war but i want to make it really a process where votes count. right now in colorado they took the voters away. you know, there are riots going on out there, and you look at what's happening in pennsylvania where they're taking the voters out of it and it's very unfair and i rely on the voters

might remember called for lewandoski to either be fired or resign for that incident involving then breitbart reporter michelle fields. so i asked lewandoski if he wants an apology from his competitors? here he was. >> don't want an apology but i think it is important when you look at those campaigns and look at people heading campaigns, whether senator cruz or governor kasich, you know what they're saying is, we'll not give you the benefit of the doubt, right? we recommend we fire you before due process what they said. i think that is unfair. reporter: lewandoski said this is another example what he describes between all talk, no action politicians and his boss, donald trump. lewandoski's status with the campaign is firmly cemented here while the trump team continues to grow. they recently added paul manafort for delegate outreach. they hired rick wiley, scott walker's old campaign manager. all of this to bring it up. it came as shadow of the florida incident was hanging over lewandoski. he says those hires are example of the trump campaign growing to stay competitive. >> the days of one and

lewandowski was charged, you remember, with simple battery related to an alleged assault of a former breitbart reporter michelle fields at an event in jupiter florida. i want to bring in keri sandery sanders. kerry, what did we learn exactly? why did they decide not to press charges? >> the state attorney's office said that indeed there was this unwanted touching. what could amount to a simple batty. but they said that when they looked at all of the evidence and they saw that the reporter, michelle fields, had entered what they called the protective bubble, a bubble created around candidates, that they weren't sure that they had a case that ultimately could be prosecuted successfully. of course that is their responsibility to bring a case that they say can be prosecuted successfully. in the notes prepared by the assistant state attorney who examined all aspects of this, she concluded that they do not outweigh the reasonable hypothesis of innocence. the facts do not outweigh the reasonable hypothesis of innocence that's why they decided they weren't going to prosecute. the prosecutor here, stat

you see in the video, sir rounded by corey lewandoski, his campaign manager and michelle fields, a breitbart reporter. jupiter police said there was probable cues to charge lewandoski for simple battery, grabbing her arm and turning her back. they also add the state attorney's office, dave aronberg, prosecutor in palm beach county. there is difference between probable cause and being able to get a conviction. that is the reason they say they're not proceeding forward with this case. here is aronberg. >> while the evidence in this case is legally sieve for police to charge mr. lewandoski it is not strong enough to meet the legal burden after reasonable likelihood of a conviction. reporter: i mention the trump campaign trying to move forward. here is statement they put out a little while ago, and i'm quoting here. corey lewandoski is gratified by the decision to drop the misdemeanor charge and appreciates thoughtful conversation and professionalism by the palm beach state attorney and his staff to can carefully reviewed this matter and mr. trump's loyalty and support and colleagues and family

prosecute the trump campaign spokesperson, you know, in the situation with michelle fields, the breitbartorter, where he allegedly grabbed her arm and was just a little too physical and rough there. tammy, does this clear some air and help donald trump then charge forward? >> the choices he's made in the last month with bringing on like the ex-scott walker campaign manager, the new convention manager says he already was moving on about when this happened. mr. lewandowski's position clearly has changed. he's got these other very big personalities. this indicates that mr. trump's already adapting. i have to tell you, regardless now that we know what the criminal dynamic is, she still, of course, can sue personally on a civil man or. but the issue's always been not necessarily the problem, but the cover-up effectively, his denying ever even seeing her or touching her. so so that's a separate -- liz: that didn't help, did it? >> that didn't help. and yet i think we're finding that mr. trump perhaps realized that his campaign as a whole needed to change, the attitude needed to change. this eve

this report comes days after lewandowski was charged with battery for grabbing a breitbart reporter duringign event last month. for more, jacob rascon is in rothschild, wisconsin, where there will be a trump rally later on. let's first stalk about this lewandowski report. what are you hearing, jacob? >> reporter: this would be a big deal, partly because of how fiercely trump defended lewandowski, said that he's always loyal to his people. he came out very strong in support of corey lewandowski, even going after the reporter. this report from politico now says that partly because of what happened with that reporter that his role in the campaign will be shrinking and that the newly named convention manager will now be taking a larger role, not only in the convention, of course, but also in the primaries that are to come. now, this is according to several sources within the trump campaign, but this is not something that nbc news has confirmed. so, according to politico, corey lewandowski's role will be shrinking and paul manaford and others will be taking a larger role going forward. we'll se

to stand up next to him during a press conference after the initial allegations that he touched a breitbarteporter. and i do think trump is trying to improve his standing with women. he's basically toxic among nearly three-quarters of american women have an unfavorable view of him at this point, so he's bringing out his wife on the campaign trail today to try and improve that. women aren't just some constituency, they're more than half the voters, and there's no way you can win if three-quarters of women view you negatively. martha: no doubt about it. i want to ask you one other question because this paul ryan story keeps being floated out there. there's a piece in politico that says there's a 54 percent chance that ryan becomes the, quote, fresh face at the convention. who is pushing this, and does it have any legs? >> it has no legs. i don't buy it. this is wishful thinking from the republican establishment. i know some of the people who are pushing this story because they try to tell me the same thing. paul ryan is not going to be the republican nominee, the base isn't going to go for it

we didn't need to do this with breitbart which is carrying more water for donald trump than gun-ga-din donald trump a long time. the problem the trump people were so unprofessional and goonish, they didn't give her opportunity or to get out of this. it all exploded into this political mess. martha: all right. i want to play, politically looks like donald trump did the right thing, because he came out and made this statement when all this happened. watch. >> bottom line for me, it would be very easy for me to say, corey, you're fired!. you take a look at that tape. practically nothing, corey, you're fired!. i don't feel like -- he is a good person. he is good human being. i don't want to destroy a human being, that has four children. he has a wonderful wife. martha: i mean he stood by his guy. he said he looked at tape and he didn't see any reason to fire him which some people were calling for at that time. there was a suggestion that maybe corey should step aside because he was becoming the story which you never want to do working on a campaign but they stuck together. it proves that w
