i went over, that was in appleton. i'm sorry in green bay. then i went to appleton.n appleton there was a big thing at the radisson. walked up and down the lin blocks long of supporters for trump. walk along the line. mixture of all people, you name it, age, gender, range, they were all there. on other side i didn't cherry-pick. i went to everybody, tell me, i didn't prompt them. just tell me what you oppose. i heard some crazy answers. he wants to deport all immigrants. what was really disturbing was students. the fact i'm at university, a lot were students, students against trump and they couldn't tell me the policies. a lot of them were bernie supporters. some were hill hi supporters. some didn't give support either way. deirdre: people didn't give you details, what he said about this issue because? >> they would say some things you know he didn't say. tell me what he said it? was it in a debate? was it in a speech? you may not give me exact date, tell me some and where he said it? give them credit, a lot of students in the university, more of them didn't believe

live first in appleton. a great town there. cruz appears to have taken the lead by a pretty big margin in wisconsin. what do you know? >> yeah. that's right. and hello here from appleton. this poll that you mentioned come from marquette university law. a highly respected, widely read in the badger state and it shows a potential shift heading toward ted cruz' way. 40% of republicans in wisconsin are supporting cruz. note ofable because that's a 21-point jump since the last poll at the end of last month. donald trump now according to the poll, 10 points back. and then there is kasich came, 9 back. 21. it will probably point to in head to head match-ups, he is the only one that would beat hillary clinton here in wisconsin. as for cruz, you're right. he has been campaigning here in wisconsin alongside donald trump. cruz today was down state from where we are in madison. the state capital. and he began his women for cruz event. a different kind of event. he didn't really call out donald trump at all. instead he was joined by his wif

here in appleton, wisconsin, people have been waiting some of them for hours, this line extending foral blocks. people waiting to get in to see donald trump. and now, as powerful republicans try to stop trump here in wisconsin, the front-runner is saying he may abandon the party if he loses the nomination. >> do you continue to pledge whoever the republican nominee is? >> no, i don't anymore. look -- >> you don't? >> no. we'll see who it is. >> reporter: trump's rivals seem to be abandoning the pledge, too. ohio governor john kasich and senator ted cruz both say they may not support trump if he wins the nomination. wisconsin is one of the biggest states left to vote. and it's also a state where the winner can get most if not at all of the delegates. so a loss here for donald trump would make it much harder for him to get the delegates he needs to clinch the republican nomination before the convention this summer. jonathan karl, abc news, appleton, wisconsin. >> berni wisconsin with a new poll showing him with a slight lead over hillary clinton. sanders told the crowd at a packed rally

what was your take on that event that we were just at in appleton?e was low energy too. i've not seen donald trump ask a crowd to sit down like he did today. it was built as a town hall. he didn't take any questions. he didn't seem to have the same sort of emotion and fire as he usually does. >> in tripump wordld, do you th he feels he'll win the state? >> i think he knows it will be a tough state for him. it was a bad poll out for him today. he seemed to be in a philosophical kind of contemplatetiv mood. he was musing on, wealth and success, what matters in life, which is sort of not typical trump. so he might know things in wisconsin are not necessarily going his way. >> what do you make of the way cruz is reacting to this? i think given this week began with ted cruz being asked point-blank by british reporters if he ever committed a dull adu, there a little bit of surreal quality to this, is this all good news for ted cruz, what's happened in the last 48 hours. >> i think it's definitely good news for ted cruz. i think wisconsin is can be a big mo

huge crowd there in appleton, wisconsin. we'll be keeping an eye on that.antime, we want to bring our panel back as we have a lot to discuss. gloria, a lot of news came out of the town hall last night, including donald trump's response to what the basic, most critical functions of the federal government are. let's take a listen to that. >> so in terms of federal government role, you're saying security, but you also say health care and education should be provided by the federal government. >> those are two of the things. sure, there are many things, housing, providing great neighborhoods. >> aren't you against the federal government's involvement in education? don't you want it to devolve to state. >> to the state. >> and federal health care run by the federal government? >> health care, we need health care for our people. we need a good -- obamacare is a disaster. >> is that something the federal government should be doing? >> the government should lead it, but it should be privately done. >> gloria, you hear that and think this sounds like a democrat's pl

bernie sanders was here in appleton, wisconsin a few moments ago. quickly broke up this stage behind me. there were about 3,000 people here as sanders really focuses in on wisconsin, his campaign feeling this is a place where they can really secure what momentum they feel like they got out of those caucus wins over this past weekend. this is a state with a progressive tradition. it has a lot of the same elements, they believe, that helped them win, surprisingly, in michigan. so they do feel like this state, because it's a primary, it's a bigger state in the midwest, it may have more of an impact than some of those states over the weekend. but, of course, the challenge is going to be whether or not they can then push forward and actually close that delegate gap with hillary clinton. that's a tough road, but bernie sanders did talk a little bit about it today here in wisconsin. >> in the last two weeks, we have cut hillary clinton's pledged delegate lead by one-third. we have spoken to close to 1 million people in states throughout this country. what
