bernie sanders, breaks for bernie sanders there. and young people, no surprise there.e won independents by a pretty wide margin there, too. it's interesting because hillary clinton, when asked the top quality for their candidate was the right experience, they think hillary clinton is experienced. what do you make of what the exit polls are telling us about the division here between clinton and sanders. >> it's a lot of what we've been seeing. once again she wins on electability. she wins on being ready for the jo job day one, but he's more exciting to people, and bringing out young people. we've been repeating it because it's important, but the demographics in wisconsin favored bernie sanders. hillary clinton outperformed her last go-around in wisconsin tonight. it's not a great state for her. it's predominantly white. she does much better among minorities than bernie sanders. we've seen over and over now in this campaign that hillary clinton wins a few and pivots to the general election. we write how the bernie sanders campaign has been put to bed, then he comes back

bernie sanders c

since hillary clinton swept the early voting south, bernie sanders claims the election calendar, quote, distorts reality while his wife tells cnn the process isn't democratic at all. is this sanders' last chance to break through hillary clinton's firewall? >>> and no charges. a sigh of relief for donald trump's campaign as his campaign manager won't be prosecuted for grabbing a reporter. while all three republican candidates will appear at a gop gala in manhattan across the river from our democratic debate. i'm wolf blitzer inside the debate hall. you're in "the situation room." >>> the breaking news, the battle of brooklyn now just four hours away. we're live from the brooklyn navy yard in new york where hillary clinton and bernie sanders will face off in tonight's critical democratic presidential debate on cnn. it's the final showdown before tuesday's new york primary. sanders still carries the accent of his brooklyn youth. hillary clinton's campaign is headquartered here. the stakes clearly are enormous. a clinton victory could break sanders' recent momentum and put the nomination i

will her campaign change how it takes on bernie sanders. we may find out when she sits down for an interview right here on cnn 11:15 a.m. eastern. both senator cruz and senator sanders had a lot to say about the momentum they received about tonight's big wins. >> god bless the great state of wisconsin. >> with our victory tonight in wisconsin we have now won seven out of eight of the last caucuses and primaries. >> utah, colorado, north dakota, wisconsin, four victories. >> we have an excellent chance to win in oregon and to win in california. >> when colorado and wyoming finish voting, we are likely to have gained over 100 delegates on donald trump. >> please keep this a secret. do not tell secretary clinton. she's getting nervous. i believe we have a chance to win new york and a lot of delegates in that state. >> hillary, get ready. here we come. >> bernie sanders and ted cruz speaking to hillary clinton. dana, you're here with david. there's going to be a democratic caucus in wyoming on saturday. >> he general does better in caucuses. but

that was the only issue of these four that bernie sanders won. e voters that said the economy is their top problem, 61% voted for hillary clinton. sanders with just 39%. >>> in less than an hour, president obama arrives in saudi arabia. the war on isis the top priority, but there's no controversy that could stand in the way of real progress. we've got that next. no one's the same without the game of football... like @pigskinsusan15, who writes, "now my boyfriend wants to talk on sundays. just so many words." your boyfriend's got it bad. maybe think about being single until the start of the season. i missed a payment. aw, shoot. shoot! this is bad. no! we're good! this is your first time missing a payment. and you've got the discover it card, so we won't hike up your apr for paying late. that's great! it is great! (both simultaneously) thank you. at discover, we treat you like you'd treat you. get the it card with late payment forgiveness. thope to see you again soon.. whoa, whoa, i got this. just gotta get the check. almost there. i can't reach it

they were going to disqualify bernie sanders. going to defeat him, then worry about putting the party back together. their disqualify strategy through surrogates attacking bernie on a broad range of issues, from guns to foreign policy, from the secretary refusing to answer his question about his qualifications. i saw barney frank 3-4 times say, bernie in that newsday editorial board, he was wandering, he was meandering, he did not seem to understand what was going on. ok. we understand what is going on with their campaign. they are trying to question his capacity to be president of the united states. they are trying to say that he's not qualified to be president by refusing to answer that question. let me tell you something, we are not going to go into new york and let them run that kind of campaign against bernie sanders. they may think that because he is from vermont, he cannot handle the rough and tumble politics of the new york primary. we will find out in the next several days who can handle it and who cannot. mark: and which

bernie sanders already looking ahead to the next contest. normally a candidate does that if he or she doesn't think he's going to have a good night, but the early indication is that sanders might have a good night tonight. >> right. you know, we talked a little bit about earlier about on the republican side that wisconsin is more tailor-made for ted cruz than donald trump. well if you look at the history so far in 2016 of the democratic primary contests, caucuses and primaries, this is tailor-made for bernie sanders because it is predominantly white. there aren't that many urban areas and the ones that are urban are huge college towns like madison. so, you know, even talking to some hillary clinton aides in brooklyn at their headquarters tonight, i mean, you know, i don't think it was lowering expectations. 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 the

voters choosing either hillary clinton, who lives in the state or bernie sanders, vermont resident who grew up in brooklyn. sanders moved on to pennsylvania. jeff zeleny is in university park, pennsylvania, with the sanders campaign. sanders has been saying that the polls here in new york are not measuring the depth of his support and hillary clinton will be disappointed today. does he actually think he can win, pull out a victory here? >> reporter: i think there are a couple of things. there's an on mftic view all of the people who turned out at his rallies over the last two weeks in new york, by the tens of thousands, the optimistic view of sanders supporters would say, look, enthusiasm appears to be on our side. realistic view is something different. they know that it is math is tough in new york. they know that the clinton campaign has inherent build-in advantages there. no one that i've talked to in the sanders universe today is projecting or expecting victory. bernie sanders, turning his attention toward pennsylvania, he had a rally a short time ago in erie, pennsylvania, coming

of course we've heard hillary clinton and bernie sanders go back and forth on this issue before. sanders talking about how she's taken six-figure checks from wall street firms. she can't be the person who is going to rein in wall street and he's the only guy who could break up the banks. hillary clinton, of course, i think she'll be able to talk about what is your plan, bernie sanders, to break up the banks? he had trouble in the new york daily news editorial explaining that. i would look for her to go after him hard and saying what are the specifics in how you would do that. >> and they're going to be fighting, talking about wall street and on wall street, basically, right? right across the river. brian, you know clinton has -- they definited eight times before. >> right. >> this one is being called the battle of brooklyn. so as we take a look at this, this is a video of our cruz time lapse, crews setting up the stage. explain how this debate seems different because of the backdrop. this is the money capital of the world and also the media capital of the world. >> that's right. w

the reverse, bernie sanders supporter, only 15% say they wouldn't support bernie sanders. that is on her to-do list once she's able to finish off this nomination, if she's able to do so. the first thing on her to-do list is bringing those people in. she probably has more experience than anybody else about what needs to happen, right, because if indeed she vanquishes bernie sanders, she's going to think back to the conversations that barack obama had with her about what he needed from her to help heal thebacarri, certainly has helped her. the momentum appears right now to truly be in his court. >> i have to push back on what was said to my right. this race has not been about momentum. this race is purely about demographics. we understand the diversity of alaska and the diversity of hawaii, but we're talking about african-american voters here in new york. we're talking about hispanic voters here in new york and that's vastly different. that's first. this enthusiasm gap that we keep making up is purely nonexistent. the fact of the matter is hillary clinton is dominating this

bernie sanders upending the front-runner hillary clinton. e democratic nomination will be decided at the democratic convention in philadelphia. to get there sanders needs to beat clinton by big margins again. sanders is calling his w

>> bernie sanders.e talking about tissues and from the perspective of what is right and wrong. and his base issue of living wage is one of the most important that can lift everyone else up. >> thank you so much. we'll be here all day talking to voters and watching for the debate tonight at cnn. >> very interesting. thanks to both of those young women. and thank you for joining me today. i'm carol costello. up next, berman and bolduan. you do all this research on a perfect car then smash it into a tree. your insurance company raises your rates. maybe you should have done more research on them. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. just one of the many features that comes standard with our base policy. call for a free quote today. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. zblnchs fame or attention? that could drive america down into a ditch. >> they're acting like union boss thugs. >> the system, folks, is rigged. >

bernie sanders saying hillary clinton unqualified. the sanders campaign saying the clinton campaign is crossing the line. we asked new york voters if hillary clinton is your party's candidate, what are you going to do? two-thirds said they will vote for her. another 20% say they will probably vote for her. f th13% o democrats saying if clinton is the new mexiominee, not voting for her. about the same here. 60% saying they definitely vote for sanders as the nominee. 21% probably a little higher there on the democratic side. pretty much consistent numbers for both candidates. keep that in mind as we move to the republican side. i said we're seeing that ideological shift on the republican side. they call themselves very or somewhat conservative. this year, is a over 70%. 71% call themselves conservative in some way. the republican party in this state, we have seen this nationally, but the republican party nationally more conservative today than it was eight years ago. these are two parties moving in opposite directions on the political sp

of the 12, hillary clinton won the first two in iowa and nevada, but since then, bernie sanders has wonen straight caucuses. so, senator sanders, for obvious reasons, is also favored to win in the caucuses tomorrow in wyoming. but we'll be keeping an eye on that. we've also got footage tonight from space-x, as they

the senator blumenthal has been going after bernie sanders on guns for months. ere the go-to people whenever clinton wanted to attack sanders on guns, she turned to her allies in connecticut. now the race has come to connecticut and this is the ads they are running on tv there, this is the message she is doing with these town halls, and it's really the closing argument that she's chosen ahead of that tuesday primary. >> really quickly, i want to make a pivot. danny glover, chris jansing interviewed him earlier. we saw it not too long ago. he essentially would not say that he would support hillary clinton if bernie sanders is not the nominee. your thoughts? >> i think about what patton oswald said when they asked him the question. he's a sanders supporter. he said if hillary wins, will you vote for her in the general? he said of course, because i'm not a stupid child. he said we have to unite against the enemy of the two psychopaths, his words. we will see pressure mount to sanders holdouts who may not want to rally behind hillary clinton in the general. >> we act

we continue to follow hillary clinton in new york and bernie sanders. attack, saying she was unqualified to be president. >> let me be clear. this is not the type of politics that i want to get in. i know it's what the media loves. it's not the type of politics i want to get in. but, let me be

someone said bernie sanders is annoyed he is losing the campaign. inton is annoyed he hasn't lost yet. is there truth to that? >> absolutely. i think the entire political establishment is shocked that sanders is still in the game. i think bernie sanders himself is still shocked that he's still in the game. i'm not a sanders supporter. i am his biographer. his entire career he has surprised opponents, and i think that nobody knows what's going to happen on tuesday. i think that he has a whole lot of momentum. he has won six of the last seven contes contests. he's not kind of a fluke at this point. he's real competition. >> he is real competition, bernard, and he could pull a michigan surprise in new york state. you never know. >> i doubt that's going to happen. i think he will get a number of votes, but i think hillary clinton is going to prevail and as we get toward may, we'll need to focus on donald trump. and i think hillary can draw contrast versus someone who can reach across the aisle and bring people together. bernie sanders is so far outside a

we have bernie sanders winning and winning decisively. he gets ten more delegates and he is welcomed by the new york media market famously negative with the new york daily news tabloid headline today. how does this matchup work? >> what a welcome to the new york primary which is absolutely critical make or break for bernie sanders. 247 delegates and the only way he can stay on the path to the nomination is by doing well there. the issue here why hillary clinton is making such a big deal of this interview, they copied and pasted the entire thing into a fundraising e-mail. it plays into a lot of her pre-existing narratives she has been trying to push on bernie sanders. as you saw on "morning joe" he is unprepared. on guns which is big in and of itself that will help with black turnout in new york city. they are saying that he took this position in favor of this law to prevent gun manufacturers from being sued for political reasons and under cuts the idea that he has been true to ideals. a final point on this. he is being attacked in the jew

hillary clinton and bernie sanders are now in a high speed spat over who is qualified. things kicked off on tuesday, where the clinton campaign has a new three part strategy to beat sanders. one disqualify him and three, unify the party, later on. then clinton went on morning joe yesterday and asked about sanders interview with the new york daily news editorial board. >> do you believe this morning that bernie sanders is qualified and ready to be president of the united states? >> well, i think the interview raised a lot of really serious questions. >> let me just say in response to secretary clinton, i don't believe that she is qualified. i don't think that you are qualified if you get $15 million from wall street through your super pac. i don't think you are qualified if you have voted for the disastrous war in iraq. >> i don't know why he is saying that. but i will take bernie sanders over donald trump or ted cruz any time. >> secretary clinton thinks, you know, just because i'm from a small state in vermont, we're going to come to new york and pennsylvania, they're g

listen. >> i would take him over donald trump or ted cruz any day. >> both hillary clinton and bernie sandersre campaigning in new york city today. sanders will start the day at a rally in washington heights an hour from now and head to the bronx and long island city. clinton will hold an event in new york city. kristen, let's talk about bernie sanders who could pick up his seven seventh win in a row today. how important is that momentum going into the final stretch before they get to the new york primary? >> it is really important for that momentum that you talk about, aman. bottom line, he keeps raking up wins. that's good for him and his supporters. it energizes his base. what he is not doing is significantly chip noog her delegate lead. what the campaign likes to call an insurmountable delegate lead. he has to start winning larnler states like new york and not just winning them but winning them by huge margins. that's why we are seeing such a fierce battleground here in new york. if you look at the latest poll, secretary clinton still leads. she has a double-digit lead by about 12 points.

you have the momentum right now that bernie sanders says is his. o do you think comes out on top tonight? give it to me quick, donna. >> the democratic party. >> look at my finger. look what happened? low energy. [ laughter ] >> bernie had a great day yesterday, a good night tonight, goes off to rome e. gets the pope's blessing. >> bill comes back strong at the end. this is what we've been waiting for, the democratic debates starts? just a moment. actions speak louder. something we'll show you. through small things, big things, and spur of the moment things. [ applause ] >>> we're live at the greenhouse. at the brooklyn navy yard in brooklyn, new york, for the cnn democratic presidential debate. we've come to brooklyn just five days before the new york presidential primary, a very important contest for the democrats with an enormous number of delegates at stake. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer, and i'll moderate tonight's debate. joining mess errol lewis, with time warner, or partner in this

bernie sanders would be head and shoulders above ted cruz. would like to hear those words from senator sanders himself. it's been a long time since he said anything like that. >> let me play a bit of sound from senator sanders yesterday after he was called out by one of the family members of the sandy hook massacre, saying that he needed to apologize for his decision to support gun manufacturers in that they cannot be sued by the families. here is what he said in response. >> there have been calls for you to apologize to the victims of the sandy hook families. >> yeah. well, i would say that i am not happy about seeing a tragedy of that enormity being politicized. i cannot think of a worst tragedy than what happened at sandy hook, what the parents are going through. but i don't go around saying to hillary clinton, who voted for the war in iraq, where we lost thousands of wonderful young men and women, that she should apologize to the families for a war that we never should have gotten into. >> david, your thoughts on that? >> well, you know, h

for hillary clinton, it would put an end to bernie sanders winning streak. the sanders campaign feel about their chances tomorrow? i asked him about it last week. he said i'll tell you on tuesday night how i feel. he clearly had a good attitude about it, but i would imagine they're only more confident now. >> reporter: yeah, i think they are, erin. you'll have to pardon me because there's a concert going on right now. the group 303 on stage right now. one, we're seeing bernie sanders talk a big game. you're hearing it from the candidates themselves, but i think now they're feeling good about the polls. they're looking back towards michigan where you see sort of a similar makeup of the electorate to what you're seeing here in wisconsin. they're relying a lot on labor support and college students. i think they're thinking they're going to be able to pull this out tomorrow night. bernie sanders needs to win many more delegates in these coming contests than hillary clinton does. >> all right. thank you very much, brianna. very energized crowd where she is and ac

if hillary clinton is the nominee, she will need the bernie sanders supporters. we should keep that in mind or blow an opportunity that has been handed to us by the republicans. >> let's take a look after what mr. jeff weaver, the campaign manager for senator sanders had to say just recently in the last few hours. here is what he said. he is keeping at this. he said clinton has made a deal with the devil. we all know what it means. you've sold your soul to the devil. here is what he is saying now. let's watch. >> i think if you look at her record, if you look at her campaign, you know, her campaign is funded by millions and millions of dollars from wall street and other special interests. you know, she has made a deal with the devil and we know the devil wants his money in the end. so that's the kind of campaign she is running. she has supported these terrible trade deals, which have devastated american manufacturing in this country, supported the war in iraq, continues to have a hawkish foreign policy, expanded isis throughout the middle east. >> he didn't get th

met pope francis in the residence within the vatican where pope francis lives and where bernie sanders of his staff had slept. now, when speaking to staff of the sanders campaign, it seemed that it was pope francis who took the initiative to meet with bernie sanders, which was essentially basically in a hallway. however, the pope when returning from greece, he had a slightly different take on the event. basically saying it was the meeting of two strangers in a hallway. >> it was manners. it is called manners, not getting involved in politics. if anyone thinks a greeting is getting involved in politics, then i recommend they look for a psychiatrist. >> reporter: nonetheless, it is well known in rome and certainly the vatican that when it comes to things like climate change and economic justice that the pope and bernie sanders do seem to see eye to eye. pamela. >> ben wedeman, thank you very much. appreciate you staying up late in rome, italy. meantime, bernie sanders tweeted moments ago about the pope's actions writing pope francis's acts of love should inspire us as americans and we sh

as momentum has been gang or the perceived momentum for bernie sanders that the bernie or bust mentality gotten more aggressive. people saying they're not going to come out for hillary if she is the nominee. that kind of language and the sentiment especially when bernie sanders is new tock a democrat. doesn't fund raise downballot. it would be appalling. charles: if this were donald trump, it would be on the front page of any newspaper on the planet. is this a double standard? you didn't hear a lot from bernie sanders. >> it is trending on twitter, that's for sure. i was really shocked. this is something you hear at a trump rally, not at a bernie sanders event. charles: to be fair, i never heard that kind of language. >> not from, well, not from donald trump himself, maybe, from a lot of his supporters. >> ted cruz was called the "p" word, he repeated it. >> we're talking about his supporters. charles: he goes out and he says, in is to me -- >> totally uncalled for. >> i'm appalled and i'm happy that i'm voting republican. i can't be part of this stuff. all i can say is watching hillary

believe it or no the even though bernie sanders has been public for the last few months most americans he's larry david. you talk to people and they're confusing sanders. think about what will happen when sanders finally gets his vetting and he will get a vetting from the republicans if not from the media. so i'm less about sanders though i think he would probably win. >> i have to ask a bernie sanders spokesman about what you said. >>> coming up, hillary versus bernie, representatives of both campaigns are going to join us. the life behind it. ♪ those who have served our nation have earned the very best service in return. ♪ usaa. we know what it means to serve. get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. aso when your symptoms start.... ...doctors recommend taking non-drowsy claritin every day of your allergy season for continuous relief. with claritin you get powerful, non-drowsy relief 24 hours a day, day after day. and with fewer symptoms to distract you... you can focus on the extraordinary things you do every single day. live claritin clear.

bernie sanders kind of get that.clinton -- excuse me, hillary clinton and donald trump know the new york culture we are talking about, which i still think exists. i know your point from earlier, but it is still a little early there. they had a plan and they went through it -- will matter a lot. we saw the shortfalls. i am not really getting at with sanders in the daily news interview and made all of those, what i would say, intemperate remarks. he was saying, the daily news, it is just a dumb tabloid. he made it to arthur brown. if you had been around new york , guys like that are kind of legend and the are getting older and not getting out to the bronx as much as they used to, but factors in the want to make an impact and they do. they know their stuff. john podhoretz: can i make a contrary argument? interview was a disaster for sanders if you assume the sanders voter cares about issues. this is the reverse mirror image of trump. they are not groaning on issues, they are voting on one thing or two things, feelings s

. >> well, secretary clinton offered a consillia torre message for supporters of bernie sanders. of course she has to to get them to unite behind her campaign should she be the nominee. it looks like she will be this november. >> to all the people who supported senator sanders, i believe there is much more that you unites us than divides us. >> a hastily arranged conference call with local media, bernie sanders congratulated secretary clinton but said he still has a path to victory. he still siees one, with me is political correspondent joy reid. the huffington post-howard fineman, and andrea mitchell, the host of andrea mitchell reports here on msnbc. howard, let's get through this. what is different right now? here we are at midnight, the night of the new york state primary, where both the front-runners won huge victories of well over double-digitis. 35% spread between trump and his nearest rival, in this case john kasich. let's start with the democrats. what's different tonight at midnight? >> on the democratic side, bernie sanders said he could win here, said that he would win

bernie sanders said he will support the democratic nominee. they both made clear in the end they believe in a progressive vision for this country. so i don't have a question in the end that people can and will come together. i believe they'll come together behind hillary clinton and i believe there'll be a lot of unity in this party. that's why the discussion should be about the issues, great. we have differences in our parties and argue who can get certain things done and which is the best policy. great. that is a healthy debate. by the way, like in 2008, andrea, you saw the long, long campaign in 2008 all the way to the end between barack obama and hillary clinton and what happened? it energized the whole party and in november, there was a great wellspring of democratic energy that came out to the polls. that's a healthy process. but clearly, let's just start at the beginning. hillary clinton is one of the most qualified people to ever run for president of the united states. >> you took a while to decide to endorse her. you've well been long

and are in bed with bernie sanders. and i -- i think the best way to describe it is the best get out the vote campaign for bernie sanders. >> we're video now of bernie sanders on the picket line out with the verizon voters earlier, the verizon strikers, talking to them almost as soon as that strike began. all right, john, basil, appreciate it. i know you have a lot of work coming up the next couple days. talk to you soon. >> thank you. >>> programming reminders now. as we head into new york. it has to be fox news for your only complete coverage of the new york primary on tuesday. america's election headquarters is live all day with the battle for new york. >>> and fox news chris wallace has an exclusive interview with donald trump's embattled campaign manager, corey lewandowski, recently cleared of charges. that's tomorrow. you can check your local listings for time and channel. >>> ted cruz is showing he's mastered the delegate game as he campaigns out west. his rivals hitting the campaign trail in new york today. just

all eyes on bernie sanders. exactly what he has. if he keeps hammering on hillary clinton. >> while this is not a concession. this is not a white flag, this is potentially a very significant statement from senator sanders. he says he is going to stay in the race because every democrat should get an opportunity to vote in plenty of states where contests have not yet been held. also, because he wants as many delegates as possible so he can force as many progressive issues into the party platform at the convention but no longer does it seem like he is putting out the suggestion that he can win. >> no question. this statement marks a major turning point in the race for the democratic presidential nomination. for all the reasons you just said, and most importantly, because he is listing all of the things that he clearly wants to use as leverage. anybody who has listened to one of his speeches would not be surprised at the issues, $15 an hour for minimum wage and medicare for all and the list goes on. this is no longer bernie sanders, the

hillary clinton and bernie sanders ready to face-off in a debate here on cnn. the new york primary is five days away. if sanders can pull off an upset, the democrats could face a contested convention. the latest quinnipiac poll suggests that sanders has an uphill battle trailing clinton by 13 points. the senator says he is up for the challenge. >> a lot of hot talk. what do you expect on the stage tomorrow night? what's going to be different? >> i think it will be a good debate to discuss the differences about how we go forward in the country. if that takes place, i will be happy. i'm confident the vision i'm bringing forward is a vision supported by the vast majority of the people in new york. >> different from what we have heard in the last few day. >> i'll tell you about it tomorrow. >> in less than 17 hours, candidates take the debate stage. we get more from cnn's jeff zeleny. >> reporter: john and lynda, the campaign sounding more like a rock concert. i'm here in washington square park. sanders supporters rallying by the thousands. hillary clinton supporter

bernie sanders kind of get that.onnton -- hillary and donald trump know the new york culture we are talking about, which i still think exists. i know your point from earlier, but still, that will matter a lot. the shortfalls. i am not really getting at with sanders in the daily news interview and made all of those, what i would say, in temperate remarks. he was saying, the daily news, it is just a dumb tabloid. if you had been around new york -- and maybe they are getting older and not getting out to the bronx as much as they used to, but they want to make an impact, and they know their stuff. can i make az: contrary argument? the daily news was a disaster for sanders if you assume the sanders voter cares about issues. this is the reverse mere image of 12 tromp. they are not groaning on issues, they are voting on one thing or screwed,s, feelings pitchfork inc. the banks -- pitchforking the banks. they say he does not know anything, just blabbing about nothing, and yet, here sanders is having won six straight, one of

actually, a worse night for bernie sanders than the low expectations. , a 15-point margin a surprising margin right here. you heard hillary clinton say victory is within our sights. she didn't want to taunt sanders' supporters and say it's over, but she clearly wants to send the message it's heading that way. >> yeah, and so much of this campaign what we've been seen is we've been oscillating between two different polls. we have hillary clinton, like donald trump, on the republican side winning these big states. clearly establishing themselves as the front runners of their respective campaigns. we see the ted cruz's and bernie sanders come in and win a number of small states and claim that they've got the momentum. we always come back to this. we always come back to the big states, and hillary clinton wins those decisively. when she does, she takes bernie sanders down yet another peg and really does establish herself as a front runner. you talk about new york specifically. what happened to bernie sanders in new york? it was a long process. it was a two-w

if you look at the map of new york state, you know, bernie sanders won most of the counties throughout new york. almost the entire state went to bernie. he is coming out of new york with a lot of delegates, but much rather be going asleep tonight being in the clinton camp than the sanders camp. but in terms of not just the numbers today but the overall delegate map looks like on their side. >> finally, what do you think will happen in november? >> well, you know, for one, we will have to see who the nominees end up being. if it was donald trump against hillary clinton, i feel very good about donald trump's chances, whether it is the first congressional district of new york where i'm from or nationwide because coming out of eight years of barack obama and his fail policies people are ready for change and that change is not hillary clinton. that change is much more the policies and proposals of donald trump. >> well, thswing district that s gone back and forth between democrat and republican but donald trump a win they are the district tonight and hillary clinton not as big of a winner b

bernie sanders, 42%. 15% margin. as for delegates, clinton is projected to add 139 to her total, bringing that to 1,930. she needs 453 more delegates to clinch the party's nomination. >> well, it was a much needed win for clinton after losing eight of the last nine contests to sanders. >> in this campaign, we've won in every region of the country. [ cheers and applause ] >> from the north to the south to the east to the west. but this one's personal. >> cnn's mj lee is in new york with more on this. i guess the big news in the last couple of hours was this criticism coming from the clinton campaign about bernie sanders and his destructive path. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: well, first of all, this was a very, very big night for both donald trump and hillary clinton. so much so that i'm willing to bet if ultimately both trump and hillary clinton do end up being their party's nominees, i think there's a chance that they point to last night and the new york primary races as sort of a turning point in their ra

certainly it is not water under the bridge for bernie sanders' supporters. thing that i expect sanders to bring up. bare.lome loaded to she took a lot of money from this company that is now the subject of a strike in the middle of manhattan. they both went to the picket line yesterday. there is too much for his corporate message for that not to be the subject tonight. mark: we asked question starting in october when sanders started to turn a little bit for contrast in the jefferson-jackson dinner, when would he start to make the contrast more personal? he has done that more in the last week or so than ever before . he has not gone way over the line or as far as some think he would profit from doing, but he has never won a debate. so far. do you think he will continue in that vein that he has exhibited on the debate stage, or that he will be trying to back away from it on the big stage? anne: we've seen him back away from it on the big stage a little. i mean certainly at the very he appeared, when to take the e-mail controversy off the table, which was surpris

>> there have been calls for you to apologize to the victims. >> by who, hillary clinton. >> bernie sandersrst day of the real new york. >> i am not happy about seeing a tragedy of that enormalty being politicalized. >> taking sanders to task. >> i don't go around saying to hillary clinton you voted for the war in iraq and she should apologize to the families for a war that we never should have gotten into it. >> two and a half months ago you railed against new york values. how do you expect to do well in this state. >> do you remember during the debate when he started lecturing me on new york values. >> all of whom donald trump has supported. >> donald trump has got to go. >> it's getting heated, but the police don't want anything else to happen. >> unbelievable. >> here you have the stop trump movement. >> people within that group tell me it's less about votes than it is about delegates going forward. >> he gets very angry when the voters reject him. >> lying ted cruz came today. >> we saw heckers a couple of minutes ago. >> it's been one wild election year. ♪ i built my business with pas

that's bernie sanders country.xpectations are that he win the caucus in wyoming, pick up another small batch of delegates, and continue a pretty -- a pretty decent winning stretch here. you know, continuing to show some weaknesses in the front-runner hillary clinton. >> right. so winning wyoming, clearly, is less about the delegates and more about momentum for sanders meaning he carried eight of the last ten contests. how does that frame the battle for new york's upcoming primary? >> certainly puts enormous amount of pressure on hillary clinton to not lose what is her home state, adopted home state. that would obviously be an earthquake, if bernie sanders beat hillary clinton in the mega state of new york where she served two terms as senator and still has her residency. so, you know, everyone's going to be watching the results in new york. it there's any chance that bernie sanders can be defeat her there, i think it would completely unsettle this race. as the sanders campaign has been pointing out recently it is v

she wiped the board with bernie sanders. and bernie sanders should have done better. i mean, he was really a peak bernie sanders in many ways in this state, but couldn't overcome hillary clinton's advantage there. i thought she did get a shot to bernie sanders in the beginning when she said listen, she's won all across this country, north, south, east, west, we have her from the bernie sanders campaign that she was a regional candidate and she wouldn't do well outside of there. so you know, i thought this was a very big night for her. and she'll probably have a bigger night going forward. >> bill, ever since ohio, new hampshire, the kbe was can bernie sanders broaden the coalition. reach out to african americans in particular? he has failed to do that. not that he hasn't reached out, but he's failed to garner significant support from a wide swath of african americans. why do you think that failure is there? >> look, hillary clinton served the people of new york very well as the united states senator. and i think tonight they return the favor to her. i mean, it's a hug

>> they have a delimba with bernie sanders. bernie is the one democratic candidate that brought emotion and vitality in the campaign. and hillary is not inspiring the young voters between the ages of 18- 29 and who incidentally went for bernie. and so if they try to drive bernie out of the campaign, it will dishearten the supporters. and if they keep him in here and continues the attacks, he drives the negatives up higher. they have to treat bernie sanders with kid gloves. i am not sure what kind of deal they can offer him to quietly in the night. >> and cruz walked out of new york with no delegates. what does his campaign do now? >> it is not a proud moment for them. maybe it is surprising that the second place republican candidate just got less than 15 percent of the vote. i am not sure it changes a lot. it was a strong state for trump. cruz was fighting for a couple of delegates at most. it was not a fight worth having for him. by the way, next weeks going to be difficult for ted cruz. northeastern and atlantic be states in t

believe it or no the even though bernie sanders has been public for the last few months most americans think he's larry david. you talk to people and they're confusing sanders. think about what will happen when sanders finally gets his vetting and he will get a vetting from the republicans if not from the media. so i'm less about sanders though i think he would probably win. >> i have to ask a bernie sanders spokesman about what you said. >>> coming up, hillary versus bernie, representatives of both campaigns are going to join us. if you're going to make a statement... make sure it's an intelligent one. the all-new audi a4, with available virtual cockpit. to folks out there whose diabetic nerve pain... shoots and burns its way into your day, i hear you. to everyone with this pain that makes ordinary tasks extraordinarily painful, i hear you. make sure your doctor hears you too! i hear you because i was there when my dad suffered with diabetic nerve pain. if you have diabetes and burning, shooting pain in your feet or hands, don't suffer in silence! step on up and ask your doctor about

can't win. >> have to ask about the comment about claire mccaskill, about sexist comments from bernie sandershe campaign had a discussion that there is a fine line as far as interpretation, and sometimes perception is reality, that things that senator sanders has said in his criticism can be perceived as sexist and things you have said, quite honestly. >> i have been criticized many times. let me say this. if that's sexist, what was it when the clinton campaign was saying barack obama was not qualified to be president, or even vice president back in 2008? bernie's comment is sexist? what's that comment? >> jeff weaver, thank you sdpr joining me. >> coming up, hillary clinton releases a new ad today in new york. and the person she's targeting pretty intriguing there, we'll tell you and show you. up next, i'll talk live with clinton's national press secretary, brian fallon. we'll get him to respond to some things weaver said in the interview. we'll be right back. it's more than the cloud. it's security - and flexibility. it's where great ideas and vital data are stored. with centurylink you get

bernie sanders was already in wyoming.e didn't bother to celebrate in wisconsin. >> there's a general sense of fatigue. like what donald trump said about the debates, how many times do you need to. but for hillary clinton, what it is she's looking -- she is running a general election strategy when she can. she's not engaging bernie sanders when it's not advantageous for her to do so. when will we debate, what would the venue be, the terms of that debate be? for hillary clinton it's not advantageous to come out and give a concession speech now. >> secretary clinton is running this election campaign because we heard from her tuesday and she was attacking donald trump. let's listen. >> too many voices out there, too many people are trying to divide americans against americans. i wish they'd all come to new york and spend some time. the guy from new york, i wish he would get out of his tower and walk the streets and spend time with the people of this city! >> given the results in wisconsin, does this now mean that hillary clin

bernie sanders. >> why?ie sanders has been on the front lines of civil rights ever since before i was born, and i'm 29. not to mention -- thank you -- not to mention he cares about the people, number one. and he's for the people. he doesn't have super pacs such as hillary clinton does. >> let me ask you another issue. one of the main issues tonight that also got a lot of passion out of this group was the minimum wage issue, which they were discussing whether or not it should be $12 or $15. what do you think about that? >> i think contrary to secretary clinton's views, now is not the time for maintaining the status quo. nor is it the time for incremental change. now is the time for real change in this country. the working class and middle class in this country have the chips squarely stacked against them. now is the time to empower those people. one of the best ways to do that is raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. >> a lot of you were very -- a lot of you feel very strongly about that. but also what got a
