could a big win in wisconsin help him narrow that gap? >> wisconsin is very important actually. there are a good number of delegates here. then we're going to new york state and that's where there are a lot more delegates. we feel really good. ♪ you're not gonna watch it! ♪ ♪ no, you're not gonna watch it! ♪ ♪ we can't let you download on the goooooo! ♪ ♪ you'll just have to miss it! ♪ yeah, you'll just have to miss it! ♪ ♪ we can't let you download... uh, no thanks. i have x1 from xfinity so... don't fall for directv. xfinity lets you download your shows from anywhere. i used to like that song. >>> all right, we have some more exit polling data we want to share with you. the first wave of data from the wisconsin primary, telling you more about what the electorate looks like. remember, people are still coming back from work and voting now. republican side, how do you dedelaware fid define yourself, 31 very conservative, 43% somewhat conservative, combined, conservative. democratic side, 25% saying very liberal, 43% somewhat liberal. if you add those two together, you're nearly a

it's the final push for wisconsin. they are in a dead heat in wisconsin. do they think they'll be able to pull a victory off tomorrow? >> i think they do, anderson. you hear bernie sanders there talking a very big game about what he's expecting out of his performance tomorrow night in wisconsin. the campaign is looking a lot at michigan where we saw that upset. they think the demographics of michigan are replicated in wisconsin. and also that he's going to be doing really well with college students and also with labor voters. you've seen that in his final push. he's emphasizing free public university for students and also he's really trying to critique hillary clinton on her past support, her trade agreements, nafta and the asia pacific partnership that she supported as secretary of state and is now against. so i think this is certainly something that they are feeling very confident about, but the question is, what is the margin going to be. because these delegates are awarded proportionately. polls show them neck and neck. >> after wisconsin there's new y

a victory for all of us in wisconsin, but really a victory for wisconsin. and it's a victory for america as well. because now ron johnson can yet again tell what it means to be someone from wisconsin to show what it means when you have people willing to think more about the next generation than just the next election. you can do remarkable things for the people of your state. he will help lead in the senate do remarkable things for the people in this honor to introduce the current and future senator from the great state of wisconsin, ron johnson and the entire johnson family! [cheers and applause] >> thank you everybody. ? ? [ music ] ? ? >> thank you everyone. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you we can. -- wisconsin. thank you wisconsin. thank you. >> i so appreciate it. this is a big night. it's a big night for wisconsin. a big night for america. i have to take some time to thank some people. first thing i have to thank my wife jane. jane. they have been supporting every part of the way. my brother who moved to help run the business doin

in wisconsin. was the single most important issue that you saw people present to senator ted cruz. what were they interested in then. >> people were worried about the economy and upward mobility. ability of poor and middle class america to get ahead to. work their way out of poverty. to work their way up the economic ladder. they fear that as washington insiders have colluded, that as washington, d.c. has extended its reach, it's made upward economic mobility more difficult. made jobs more scarce. and made it harder for americans to get ahead. >> we understand as doug reported that talk radio is a big deal in terms of influencing vote in wisconsin. and they are behind your candidate. >> that's right. there is a lot of conservative talk radio in wisconsin. and a lot of people who have really delved into the policy issues. and that's really ted cruz's strong suit. it's where he does well because he can tell you what he thinks about the fundamental purpose of government, big picture issues like federa

central time across wisconsin. let's go to a great town in wisconsin. talk to tony who is standing by in green bay. what would an outsider notice at these polling locations across wisconsin today and tonight? >> reporter: you might notice that the line is about as long as the line outside a green pay pa -- bay packers game. it stretches all this way. people are doing all they can to stay into it. a guy is reading a fantasy novel. some people have looked at the line and left. it's a really hopeful and excit excited crowd here. there's a married couple, 41 years. they're getting some quality time in they didn't expect. catching up on e-mail, facebooking. we have three generations of women, grandma, mom and daughter. they're not sure who they will vote for. they are trying to make up their minds. that's new voter registration behind me. you see the family registering for the same time. wisconsin has same-day voter registration. again the line, the lines. turn out is part of it. there's also the new voter id law that's slowing things down. there's a bottlen

world of trouble in wisconsin. look at that, down ten points. is that what you're feeling on the ground there? >> reporter: wisconsin is so important, steve, because this is a state that matters in the primaries and always matters in the general election. you have layers here, almost like a wisconsin cheese plate of issues, you've got the question of does donald trump fully understand the issues, that's one piece of this. is what he said about abortion and walking it back going to upset the way voters look at him? there are the fierce trump supporters who seem to give him a pass or get in a new sense of energy every time he's down. then you have the issue of the republican establishment here. you've got governor walker who wants to have a long future and remains popular among his base. you've got the senator ron johnson in a real fight to go back to the senate. then you've got things like the staff issue. what is so different about donald trumps a front-runner in this race is normally when other campaigns fall by t

>> i think wisconsin is very different. wisconsin has a different culture here. civility and decency. we have a better bs meter, quite honestly. donald trump has gotten away with sloganing. i think wisconsin will change the trajectory of this. i think your conversation about abortion will change it. not so much because he is a liberal or conservative, but what he found out is this a man who is literally thoughtless. he has not spent 30 seconds thinking about these major issues, nuclear weapons, abortions, any of these issues. i think he'll be exposed. i think wisconsin will expose the fact that he is vulnerable. that when in fact, you begin to talk about his record, talk about what a demagogue is, what a fraud -- >> give me an example of why you think he is a demagogue. >> when he says that he is going to do things that he is not going to do. when he says he'll build the wall and the mexicans will pay for it. >> you don't think -- >> no. >> he said today, by the way, he is going to pay for it by threatening the government of mexico with cutting off remittances, a

wisconsin primary night.s, it might be less about who will win in wisconsin tonight and more about how. and the size of victory, if it is a cruz win. and in a race where every delegate matters, tonight's margin and the corresponding delegate haul is going to be important. and right now trump holds a 275-delegate lead over cruz. we have top advisers here from all three republican campaigns, starting with the cruz campaign. we'll start with congressman reid ribble. he joins me now from the greatest little city on earth. green bay, wisconsin. i will always say that, as a die-hard packer fan. and full disclosure, multiple shares of the packers do i own. congressman, thanks for joining me. >> there we go. good to be with you, chuck. >> do you believe ted cruz can carry wisconsin in november? and did that factor into your decision to support him? >> no, it didn't factor into my decision to support him. i think november's going to be totally dependent on who the candidates actually are in the moment. if ted cruz is

wisconsin primary. he is talking a very big game in the badger state. >> we have won six of the last seven caucuses and primaries. and not only have we won them, we have won every one by landslide victories. and tomorrow, tomorrow if there is a good turnout here in wisconsin, if there is a record-breaking turnout here in wisconsin, we are going to win here as well. >> reporter: the clinton campaign is sending out a fund raising letter to supporters asking for donations. she is behind in most polls in wisconsin and bernie sanders out-raised her in the last three months. they are concentrating on new york. you see hillary clinton very concerned that she holds on to the majority of the 247 delegates at stake on april 19th. she made a last-minute swing through wisconsin this weekend, but mostly spending her time in new york. john and cristina. >> thanks, brianna. the economy and jobs will likely be the to p issue for voters in wisconsin. the wisconsin unemployment rate is below the national of 4.6%. the ave

of wisconsin. this could be a pivotal moment, a pivotal moment especially in the republican race for the white house. let's go over to john king over at the magic wall. they're trying desperately to get to that magic number 1,237 delegates needed. depending on what happens in wisconsin, that could be critically important for all of these candidates. >> if donald trump can win tonight, it makes his math a bit easier as he tries to get to the magic number of 1,237. here's the only candidate with a plausible scenario to get there. so if you're ted cruz, you're trying to win tonight to stop donald trump from getting here and increase the odds of an open convention and hope you have the hot hand as we fill out the remain primaries. let's look at the math. donald trump's number, we have it at 740, that's because wisconsin we haven't officially sorted out yet. cruz campaign deciding whether to contest wisconsin -- missouri, i'm sorry. missouri. donald trump is about to pick up, probably has a few more tha

and right now, though, wisconsin voters, if the polls are right, wisconsin voters are saying they don'te either of the front-runners. they're looking at ted cruz and bernie sanders for right now. the question is, will it be sort of a subtle message coming out of wisconsin or a megaphone message? >> i want to take that even further, charles, because with ted cruz leading in wisconsin, state insiders have said it's really more like a protest vote. do you have that sense? >> reporter: it does apparently seem to be that. you know, i think wisconsin voters, at least on the republican side, when they were looking who was going to be here on april 5th, they were looking, if they were not going to be a trump supporter, they were either looking at ted cruz or marco rubio. and when you look at the marquette law school poll that came out, the big change, even before governor walker's endorsement, ted cruz had doubled his numbers in the milwaukee media market. and then up in green bay, nearly double. and almost queue draadrupled in rest of the state. so, clearly, he's benefited from the fact that t

that is not a wisconsin tan. >> not a wisconsin tan.l seriousness that you're a never trump fan. you're not a trump fan, for people who don't know. yesterday donald trump called you a lowlife who is not a real believer. you want the establishment to win because it's good for your third-rate talk show. >> i thought he would say fourth-rate, by the way, but great moments in presidential rhetoric. abraham lincoln with malice toward non-donald trump. again, here's a guy who has every opportunity to move to actual substance, and what is he doing? he's continuing to tweet out the insults. by the way, i wear that very much as a badge of honor. >> we'll leave it at that. go ahead, go ahead. >> if i could remind you that sometimes people like to vote for somebody they like. they voted for george w. bush because they felt he was comfortable in his own skin. they don't necessarily vote for a policy walk. i'm not sure this cuts against him in terms of the demographic he's going for. >> exactly. charlie sykes and mordecai lee from the university of

now wisconsin.essage, positive message of jobs, freedom and security is resonating with people. and we're seeing the republican party and true conservatives rallying behind him. because they see and recognize he is a candidate that not only can he beat donald trump, but beat hillary clinton in november. >> it does appear that a lot of the party leaders, scott walker, of course, being the governor there in wisconsin, banding behind ted cruz. but we have this one fox news exit poll i wanted to bring to your attention. in this particular poll, it says 37% of people questioned say they are concerned or scared about a president cruz. the question was actually if ted cruz is elected president, which best describes your feelings about what he would do in office. 14% excited, 47% optimistic, but 24% and 13% concerned or scared. so does that concern you? >> absolutely not. look, we came out of a tremendous victory here in wisconsin. which comes on the heels, as i said, of the last four contests we resounding

he's also from wisconsin.ondents, analysts and guests will have full coverage of all the day's top stories. let's begin with cnn's jim acosta at the site of a rally where trump predicted victory. can he put all of last week's mistakes behind him, jim? >> that's what he's hoping. donald trump is looking to pull off a big come-from-behind victory. not only trying to catch ted cruz who appears to be way out in front. the gop front-runner is also doing some cleanup after a messy week. donald trump knows the stakes all too well. after a bruising week, a big "w" in wisconsin could change everything. >> i've been given the last rites how many times? like ten? every week, it's the end of trump. then they walk in. sir, i don't know what happened, but your poll numbers just went through the roof. >> reporter: while he's scrambling to catch ted cruz, the gop front-runner is attacking john kasich accusing the governor of being nothing more than a spoiler. >> he's lost like 29 or 30 or 31 times. whatever the hell it is. ev

you go to wisconsin. what do you do? >> both students here at wisconsin. it wasn't a hard decision because i feel like he's the one that's looking out for our future. >> reporter: you feel the same way. >> one of the candidates who speaks to the younger generation, comes on campus almost three times now. given the chance to talk to us. >> reporter: sounds like you feel the connection like a lot of young people. i want to show everybody at home how long the line is here now. that's the back of the line. what i've heard is around 3,000 people have already voted early at this location. statewide, 150,000 people just about have voted early out of the 3 million people eligible to vote. still walking down the line. the only early voting location in madison. pass the city assessor's office. we'll continue on through here in madison, again, bernie sanders does hold a sizable lead going into tuesday. but as he always says he needs a high turnout in order to do well and in order for him to succeed. it looks like from the look of things here at only early voting loca

clinton will not be in wisconsin. today instead she will be in new york. new york is the home of the next big contest that will take place two weeks from tomorrow. 247 delegates will be up for grabs when new york votes on april 19th. the latest poll in the empire state shows better news for hillary clinton, a ten point lead for her over bernie sanders in her home state, however, keep in mind polling in new york just a couple weeks ago and a couple months ago showed her up more than 20 points over bernie sanders. so that is a gain for sanders even though hillary clinton continues to lead in new york, even though clinton has spent as much time on her potential republican opponents as her democratic one. >> one step at a time. i'm definitely focused on the primary because i don't want to take anything anyplace or anyone for granted but i also believe strongly that, you know, ted cruz tried to insult new york values, donald trump even though he is a lifelong new yorker seems to forget that we are a nation of immigrants. i

the question is northwest wisconsin, southeast wisconsin, some of the more working-class, rural areas, harder to predict. >> donald trump said he could be presidential if he wants to be, but he's not ready to be that yet. let's watch him. >> i could be presidential. but if i was presidential, we'd only have about 20% of you would be here because it would be boring as hell. now, let me be unpresidential just for a little while longer. and maybe i'll be a little unpresidential as i beat hillary because, oh. we'll beat hillary so badly. don't forget, i haven't started on hillary yet. >> now, robert, i'll get to the other later, but you have been watching this. is this his way of saying don't held me to some test of president fitness. it's too early for that. don't ask me if i can say things correctly or not. let me make my mistakes. let me test the air, let me have fun with all the schtick of mine. is that what he's trying to say to smooth over what happened last week? >> he's not just talking to the press. he's talking to his family, to his friends, his closest advisers. based on my rep

if he got wisconsin that would put him, if he shook wisconsin and she held michigan and then held pennsylvania that would get it. then new hampshire comes very much into play. and then you start talking about the main second district of maine which has one electoral vote and in nebraska too. we start to get down to one's and to's in terms to getting to that magic number. >> let's not forget something else. georgia has not yet been called. our presumption was from the beginning that it was going to go republican. they haven't called it yet. >> i don't want to raise this, but i will. there is a possibility of a tie. this could be tied. there are ways that this could tie but not many. >> if they tied, without anybody reaching 270. >> yes, 269 to 269. >> then it goes to the house. >> it goes to the house of representatives where each state delegation has one vote. they would presume they would vote for the republican but we've learned tonight not to presume. >> but we haven't called new hampshire yet. it could come down conceivably to new hampshire. i also point out we haven't called maine yet noa

why is wisconsin so important? >> well, wisconsin is very important specifically for bernie sanders because if he can pull out a win here, his hope and he's been saying this because he's been talking a big game in wisconsin. his hope is that he'll ride that momentum into new york april 19th. you might look at the polls in new york. you see there's a 12-point spread from what we're seeing between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. you may think that's a good margin. but if he, say, those polls are off just a little bit, if he gets a lot of momentum, you can see how that gap starts to close. that's part of the reason hillary clinton is spending time in new york. keep in mind, though, this is really important. these delegates are awarded proportiona proportionately. bernie sanders wouldn't just have to beat hillary clinton in new york and in wisconsin. he'd have to beat her by a huge margin. so that's yet to be seen. >> talk us to more about the impact this could have on the big delegate prize coming soon here in new

it says wisconsin. >> this one says wisconsin for bernie. these are both social security ones.an show that if i'm showing you the right -- i'm not. so all four of them say wisconsin for bernie. >> the text of one says wisconsin which means we weren't getting just the template. they were deciding what they thought wisconsinites would resonate with. >> does that tell you something about why bernie sanders might have a better chance? i doubt these are going to the college kids who are going to turnout potentially he hopes in force around madison. >> i'm a suburbanite in milwaukee. he thinks the wall street issue cuts into claim. >> i have to say that i have rarely and iowa, new hampshire those voters know a lot about what is going on. there are so many important other races aside from president going on in wisconsin. i was wondering is it overload or are people so engaged that they feel compelled to be a part of this process. >> usually in this presidential primary that is the marquis race what pulls people in. in this case i think it's nose to nose. some people are attracted by p

they genuinely are kind of not expecting to do that well in wisconsin. >> wisconsin also a long history of progressive politics. fighting bob, that was his home state. another thing that's interesting about the sanders campaign is that they are not unabashedly saying that their plan is to deny hillary clinton the number of delegates that she needs to clinch the nomination before the convention then they will go to the convention and make the argument and get superdelegates to switch their votes going to people like, for instance, senator al franken who is a clinton supporter from the state of minnesota. a state that sanders won. >> that's right. >> make the argument, hey, you should be supporting sanders because sanders won the minnesota caucuses. >> that certainly is their strategy, it's what they're saying. it's not analogous to the republican side where it's much more doable and even likely to ke donald trump the front runner from getting the number of delegates before the convention. it's possible but not probable. you know what, it doesn't matter because bernie sanders has the ener

[ chanting "trump" ] >> i wonder what state he came from. they send them around. the last person hillary wants to run against is donald trump, believe me, folks. and they send them around. yeah, okay, good. yeah, fine. it actually sort of makes it more

sort of getting his legs back in wisconsin. and at just 48, he has a future in the party that may go in cycles down the line. can he be someone who can influence this process? now one week before his constituents vote, can he play a role? there is risk. we saw governor haley in south carolina vote her support to marco rubio and he's now out of the race. there is a risk for any, especially sitting governor, to make this kind of endorsement. when you look at the kind of operation that scott walker has, the kind of very intensely supportive constituents who saved him from the recall move, that might be helpful to ted cruz. and it gets scott walker in the conversation at a point when the whole country in terms of electoral politics is looking alt wisconsin. for walker, even more than ted cruz, who is the person i think he will endorse, this is a chance to show what his judgment is, to be a part of this national dialogue, and to maybe have some impact in the republican party after a performance as a candidate that was nothing like h

she did tweet congrats to bernie sanders winning wisconsin.o all the votes and volunteers who poured your hearts into this campaign, forward. it's all about new york. cnn has the next debate on the 14th ahead of the 19th primary. >> that's right. >> and this is going to get tough. >> what happens between now and that debate is critical. last night it was said the clinton campaign will try to disqualify and defeat berme eni sanders in the next few days and weeks. there's been a variety of strategies about how the clinton campaign will treat the bernie sanders campaign, perhaps getting much tougher. >> she has started that already, saying it's empty ideas. there's nothing to back it up. >> the new york daily news recently, a transcript was published of bernie sanders speaking with the daily news. there were times when he came up short when asked about details. >> doesn't seem to know how he would do that or what it would mean. >> so many supporters are thrilled to hear him say it. when he doesn't have the detailed follow-ups, i wonder if that wi

it's wisconsin that's moving away. >> okay. >> and wisconsin, it looks like donald trump is up by about 80-some-odd thousand votes. and the problem for hillary clinton you still have milwaukee county out, that's a heavily democratic area, but the question is can enough votes come in there? the way this night is going, to make up that deficit? >> pelley: all of these polls that we were look at going into election night showed hillary clinton or donald trump up by 2%, 3%, but that's all within the margin of error. it was always possible that this >> yes, but what seemed unlikely is that it would all-- each one would tip trump all the way through. so that's why when we have the big discussion about whether the pollsters got it all wrong or not, that's one area where maybe something was missed, and we'll have to see. >> so right now, john, it can go either way, but as you look at the map, what do you think is the likely outcome? >> well-- >> i realize it can go either way. >> but given the way the night has worked, given the places and been successful tonight and given what's left outstandi

tomorrow is wisconsin day, the wisconsin primary. she's in a major battle. that 86 democratic convention delegates. sanders had won five of the last six contests between the two. leading in the polls in wisconsin at least for now. hillary clinton, however, continues to hang on to her overall delegate lead. especially when you include the so-called super delegates. with us is chief strategist for hillary clinton campaign joel. thank you for joining us. as we saw bernie sanders campaigning in wisconsin today. hillary clinton campaigning in new york. the day before the critically important primary in wisconsin. why has she moved on past wisconsin. >> she was in wisconsin thr ys last week. she gave major speeches, one on the supreme court, one with the mothers of the movement on gun violence, another on education. we have been competing very hard in wisconsin. we know it is close. we know it is competitive. our goal is to, you know, maintain our sizable advantage in pledged delegates, which as you just showed on the screen is roughly 240 right now. we have a lot

wisconsins enough. can sanders win and use it as a springboard to go into new york and beat hillary clinton. bernie sanders won every democratic primary left, 55-45, by ten, which he's unlikely to do, a lot of states including new york where hillary clinton is favored, even if he ran the board by ten points he'd trail her in delegates. she would not have enough to clinch. >> we've got to take a break. 8 1/2 more hours. more to talk about. hearing from the panel, hillary clinton, bernie sanders looking to next big races. the latest from the campaign trail. i want each of you to grab a 2x8 and cut it. you'll have 2 saws to choose from. ♪ you all chose the best tool for the job. wouldn't it make sense to make the same choice, when it comes to your truck? (all) absolutely. this is the 2016 chevy silverado. nice. a good-looking pick-up. incredible. i love it. find your tag and get a total value of $9,000 on this silverado double cab all star. find new roads at your local chevy dealer. that's why i run on qui

>> she has to hold wisconsin, michigan and pittsylvania. all states where donald trump is putting a lot of pressure. he is doing very well in all three of those states. that's basically the biggest challenge for her. >> what path to victory with donald trump have?>> he has to start picking off one of those that would put him -- if he took wisconsin and she held michigan and then held pennsylvania that would get -- then new hampshire comes into play and you start talking about the main -- the second district of maine and nebraska. we start to get to ones and twos . >> georgia has not yet been called. our presumption was from the beginning that it was going to go republin. yet.>> there is a possibility of a tie. this could be tied. there are ways that this could tie but not many.>> deeming without anybody reaching to 70?>> yes. then it goes to the house of representatives. i think tonight we have learned called new hampshire. it could come down to new hampshire. i will also point out that we haven't called maine where they split the electoral

wisconsin is the target.sn't get electricity around his candidacy in early april, it will be hard to see how he sustains himself in april. >> the rallying cry we hear from the people that want to stop trump is never trump. if you're on twitter that's the hashtag they are using all the time. is there going to be pressure that builds over next few week, months that says why are we directing? why are we as republicans directing the fire at trump who is likely to be the nominee and not at hillary clinton and saying never hillary? >> it's the looming question in republican politics. you saw in trump's world wind day, he is picking up some support on capitol hill and getting more organized in the convention. he has ben carson's former campaign manager. in the states who are ready to be delegates. the belief is if trump does get over 1200 or close to it, they will argue the election is stolen. that will keep most of the party base on their side. >> all right. thanks for the time. >> thank you. >>> there is mump more

after wisconsin, let's just say senator sanders pulls it out in wisconsin.into a problem in that the north atlantic states, states like new york, pennsylvania, et cetera, he's likely to lose, or if he would squeak out a win, it wouldn't be enough to close up the delegate math. >> the clinton campaign would love for that to be the reality. i was just in new york, in brooklyn before the senator got there. we had almost 2,000 people come to the grand opening of his office in brooklyn. he is brooklyn through and through. that's not -- the state of new york, that's not a state he shopped for after leaving the white house. it's the state where he was born and where he was raised. it was a multi-ethnic, multi-religious coalition of people who showed up at the block party. the biggest canvas in new york state's history. so we are battling very hard for new york. so it's not over. we're going all the way to the convention. so the clinton campaign and anybody else that wants senator sanders to get out of the race, they need to get comfortable with that. strap in, beca

which i'm biased, i married a girl from wisconsin, so i love wisconsin. so he definitely has the advantage here. does that change the fundamental math? no. >> lieutenant governor lawton, i want to play hillary clinton talking to chuck todd. she has made the point when confronted with a greenpeace activist that she's sick and tired in her view of the sanders campaign lying about her taking money from people who work in the fossil fuel industry. >> i feel sorry sometimes for the young people who believe this. they don't do their own research. and i'm glad that we now can point to reliable independent analysis to say, no, it's just not true. >> lieutenant governor lawton, what did you make of those remarks? >> well, one has to be careful before you insult young people who actually do careful research, and as i understand it, there are 43 lobbyists who have maxed out to her campaign who work for the fossil fuel industry. what's going to be interesting in new york is that bernie sanders has put the issue of money and politics and campaign finance reform right

we'll have a lot of fighting in wisconsin. all-night long coverage in wisconsin. it's important in the never trump movement as it's called but so are other states. go forward to our own state. 95 delegates at stake in new york and april 26th, tuesday, a number of important states, i highlight pennsylvania, it speaks to the math we were talking about. that's not it. 54 of the 71 are what they call unbound delegates, and that's where you are seeing a lot of the stories written here, liz, you have 54 delegates unbound. they can vote for whoever they want. so then instead of needing 50 some percent of the delegates, donald trump has to win, if he doesn't pick up delegates tonight, liz, 70% of the remaining bound delegates. forced to vote for him on the first ballot. that's what people are talking about and one of the reasons wisconsin is so important for trump and everybody else who wants to stop him. liz: it is extremely important. not just any other primary, right, connell? >> absolutely. have you momentum. if they can cut into the mentum, they can make a better cas

it just doesn't exist. >> let's see what happens here in wisconsin -- not here in wisconsin -- in wisconsinand then in new york. brian, thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> all right. >>> a reminder, hillary clinton and bernie sanders, they will be facing off for a presidential democratic debate live from brooklyn, new york, thursday, april 14th right here on c. let let's see how many more debates they do after that. we'll be back right after this. our bodies react by over producing six key inflammatory substances that cause our symptoms. most allergy pills only control one substance. flonase controls six. and six is greater than one. flonase outperforms the #1 non-drowsy allergy pill. so you can seize those moments, wherever you find them. flonase. six is greater than one changes everything. whewhat does it look like?ss, is it becoming a better professor by being a more adventurous student? is it one day giving your daughter the opportunity she deserves? is it finally witnessing all the artistic wonders of the natural world? whatever your definition of success is, helping you pursue it,

there's 86 delegates in wisconsin. if he gets 46 and she gets 40 because of proportional she gets 50 he gets 50 she gets 36. 14 delegates he picks up. it's a win, bragging rights money is going to keep happening, his people will be recharged. but in the end it won't matter much. >> money is happening. he raised $15 million more in march than she did. it's quite extraordinary. she may win it but he's sticking around. let's turn to the republican race. you said earlier this week if donald trump wins wisconsin, the race is over. a lot of people thinking you don't particularly like donald trump, is that what's going on there? >> if he wins tonight in wisconsin, lit be effectively over. you had a popular governor a well organized cruz campaign, a well organized anti-trump advertising effort and trump had two terrible weeks. and so if trump wins tonight, then it says he's superman and there ain't no kryptonite around. >> now, the flip side that there is kryptonite around in the form of ted cruz and he wins does this mean tha

an example...would be a wisconsin driver's liscence. and know your polling location...and your registration status if you plan to register at the polls today bring proof of residency with you. political items such as clothing or other paraphernalia like pins or buttons or hats will not be allowed...and an election official can ask you to remove or cover the item. that is considered electioneering. you are also not allowed to campaign within 100 feet from entrance of a polling place. also...no selfies at the polls...pictures in polling places or voting booths are illegal. polls open at 7 am and close at 8 pm. reporting live in 8 pm. reporting live in milwaukee dc fox6 news toss to rob a cold front moves through us this morning. that is generating a narrow band of light showers that should pass by around 8am. after that we slowly dry up and clear out. highs today will get to the mid to upper 50s which, while cooler than yesterday, is still well abo sunshine and low to mid 50 tomorrow as high pressure returns. then we warm into the low 60s

[cheers and applause] i love wisconsin. [cheers and applause] i love wisconsin. know, it's funny, we had a situation where cruz was going to win the south, remember? until be i came along. [laughter] but he was going to win the south, and he was actually -- they were thinking new hampshire, but somebody else was supposed to win new hampshire. looked like jeb was going to win, and i came up. we won new hampshire in a land slide, right? landslide. and by the way, i spent a tiny fraction of the money. isn't that nice when you can spend heads and come out number -- spend less and come out number one? isn't that good? liz: trump in superior, wisconsin, riling up the crowd, speaking against nato, obviously continuing his protectionist view about getting fair, not just free trade. and you can see one of the things he said that jumped out at us, i would have won in ohio if i had had two more days. well, you didn't, okay? so, but the more important thing is donald trump is giving a few props to john kasich who will not get out of this race, and then he proceeded to rip hi

, ted cruz is going to win wisconsin. the question is, by the time he comes here to your hometown and his hometown, can he put it back together again? >> that is the question. donna brazile, meantime, taking a huge hit, especially with women. >> absolutely, george. look, there's a new poll out, marquette university, 70% of women in wisconsin disapprove of donald trump. but for republican women, 45%. you cannot win without women. women are the majority of voters, not just a demographic group. if donald trump loses in wisconsin, and there is indications that he might be falling behind, it will fundamentally change the narrative of his race. >> meantime, juan williams from fox news, we saw something rare from donald trump this morning in an interview with maureen dowd in "the new york times." he actually suggested he shouldn't have done something, retweeted out that photo of heidi cruz. >> see, that's part of to problem with women. you stop back and look back and romney was minus 11 with women. trump looks like he's going to

you're seeing that in wisconsin, you'll see that tonight in wisconsin.ple moving towards ted cruz, why he's got this momentum in his campaign and he's united -- uniting the republican party. they see him as a serious candidate with serious solutions to some of the big issues we face in this country. >> take a listen to president obama speaking out earlier today against trump, criticizing the plan to bill the wall and have mexico paying for it, calling a half-baked notion. here's what president obama had to say. >> the notion that we're going to track every western union, you know, bit of money that's being sent to mexico, you know be good luck with that. this is just one more example of something that is not thought through and it's primarily put forward for political consumption. >> mr. dewitt, your response? >> well, i will agree with bob, i don't look at president obama as an expert on foreign relations, by any means, and he's made a lot of missteps in that area. so i don't look 0 him as having the right answers. but i disagree with bob, when i think

bob, you are in wisconsin now.you spent time there looking at the new presidential poll showing clinton up six over trump. i want to tell you because we are getting the results of the senate race. this is the poll from wisconsin and marquette on the screen. a presidential poll. in the senate race, the marquette goal finds 45%. we'll talk about that looking at the down ballot leader. does this fit with the energy and the sense you have with the boots on the ground in wisconsin? >> i'm here in milwaukee stopping by different phone banks. republican and democrat. this is the poll mirrors what we are seeing on the ground in milwaukee. the urban area and surrounding suburbs. six points for secretary clinton. that's a lead that's similar to the polling average we have seen in wisconsin in recent months. similar to the margin that president obama. republicans haven't won here since 1984 with reagan. difficult state. >> so we have been talking about the trump camp strategy. you know it well. should they give up on wisconsi
