let's get to chief white house correspondent jonathan carl. how does the unrest on the campaign trail effect voters? >> in the short run, tom, i don't think this hurts trump at all. first of all his supporters may side because of what the protesters are doing and a lot of people have voted in those big states in florida because of early voting nearly 1 million republicans have cast their vote. in ohio they have been voting since the middle of february. but in the long run, this can hurt trump. he needs to unit republicans and if he is to get the republican nomination, he needs to unit this country. this is not going into this direction. >> thank you. now to the democrats hillary clinton trying to take a big step toward sealing up the nomination with wins on tuesday. bernie sanders facing an uphill battle. and poll showing clinton leading in all five states. the two taking the stage far town hall in ohio tonight. abc mary bruce on the campaign trail. >> reporter: tonight bernie sanders is crying foul as supporters for the chaos at his rally. >>

carl m. cannon: yes. susan swain: what is the difference between jacqueline kennedy coming in, wearing fashionable, european-designed clothes, and redoing the white house, and nancy reagan doing it not that long after? carl m. cannon: you know, that's a fair question. i mean, for nancy, she came here, and she thought it would be a fresh start, and for her, it's deja vu all over again. it's sacramento. she expects washington to be a little more sophisticated. it isn't, in her mind. designer dresses, they're criticizing her. they criticize her for going shopping at bloomingdale's. well, her friend was betsy bloomingdale. of course they're going to shop at bloomingdale's. but, look, jackie was a special case. there's an edgy website -- i don't frequent it very often -- it's called nerve.com. it's mostly about sex and younger people stuff. but i was on it recently in preparation for this program to see how they ranked the sexiest first ladies in history, and you'd be surprised -- i was -- that nancy reagan ranks very high. i'm not surprised that people thought that. i was surprised that this hip young website thought that. but jackie kennedy is numbe

is it true that she held seances in the white house? susan: carl?would be mary todd lincoln. our caller made the same mistake. but nancy did consult an astrologer after ronald reagan was shot. she did so because she was desperate for anything, anything she could have. she did not have much to control of the schedule, so she consulted an astrologer. this came out in don's book, and that came out. he rode a kiss and tell book like bob gates has done. it was a mild embarrassment. many people thought that she was so traumatized that if she wanted to consult astrologer she was well within her rights. susan: we will talk a little bit more about that later on. jordan is in pennsylvania. hi, jordan. >> my grandmother has the same birth day as nancy reagan. she was born july 6, 1920. she was one of my favorite first ladies. did her mother live to be almost 100 when she was in the white house? judy: her mother lived to be elderly, but i do not know how old her mother was when she died. susan: do you remember of she was around for the inauguration? i think she

let's take it to john carl at the white house as well., so far we have seen the leader of the senate republicans saying no chance that any pick from the president is going to get a hearing. does his background make a difference? >> the republicans have been explicit at the background of the nominee is utterly irrelevant. they are saying the issue is whether or not a president obin his final year can nominate somebody that would change the balance of power on the supreme court. the republicans say no. the president could send the reincarnation of abraham line con. they said no vote, no confirmation of anybody that president obama would pick. this is a very interesting pick for another reason. merrick garland is a former prosecutor who prosecuted two of the most high profile terrorism cases that we have seen in recent times, the uni-bomber case and the oklahoma city bombing case. he sought the death penalty in both. you can see why in a normal time this would be a pick that republicans would likely look favorably on. these ast terry moran s

he gets a free ride to the white house, and all we get is a lousy hat. >> reporter: carl bus participated in today's kansas caucuses. >> they're saying the republican party is not unified. look how many votes in primaries have been so far that are republicans we never had before. i'm standing in this line for the first time because of donald trump. >> reporter: historically, the republican primary vote is about 90% white, and that trend continues. now, jim, while trump support tends to skew towards voters without college degrees, he also picks up solid backing among the college educated, men, women, conservatives and independents. >> axelrod: so, major, all these new republican voters that you're reporting on, how are they likely to play as a factor come november. >> reporter: here are some numbers to consider. white voters made up 72% of the electorate in 2012, and president obama lost the white vote by a larger margin than any winning candidate in american history. trump, cruz, and rubio are attracting more voters, most of them white. now, agenda voters always increases the chances of v

i way of and it wrote, a couple of years ago and was talking to a man named carl weinman, i think the director of the white house council on science advisors. was that your title? something like that. so he is won the nobel prize. he decided to do something really hard, how to do a better undergraduateg students. like a lot of people that come to washington from the outside at some point decided i would like to get something done before i go. the thing you decided to get was an idea of requiring any university that took federal research money to report back how they were assessing the quality of instruction and undergraduate students. i say to them, as long as we're ideas, why not have exam to thee same student,uate physics on my idea that maybe it is one of the less committed realms and report how they are doing. he just laughed at me and said you are a fool for even bringing that up and i said site that, it to peter ou in this effort, which was torpedoed anyway. the resistance of -- among political.not just i do think it is sometimes as if you take learning seriously and want to do a good job, you have t

susan swain: carl cannon, another interesting theme throughout is how white house is used the media. case we had two people , who had acting within their profession, and television was in its ascendancy as a political force. how did they use it? carl cannon: think about this people talked about reagan was , an actor, but she was an actor too. she had 12 feature films. the comfortable level of them behind the camera was the envy of every political couple. even the little things, she is talking about color, and she is wearing a red dress. they understand the lighting, how the message should go to the pictures. they really got it all, it was almost second nature to them both. susan swain: i want to move to the second term in the white house. again, full of so many issues. in brief, the soviet arms treaty, the explosion of the challenger -- many of us remember that day well -- and the iran contra affair. and there was the iran iraq war. she overcame the criticism did , she become a positive political force in the white house in the second term? kirby hanson: it was different. she was lear

carl: the orange line is unemployment plotted upside down and the white is average hourly earnings. shows a very steady trajectory of the unemployment path. matt: i have something i think is interesting. unemployment is grafton read and this is a link back to the 1980's. you can see this decade and the recovery has been substantial from the great recession. the unemployment to population ratio is graft in blue. in blue.d there is a massive divergent, you may think of it as a demographic shift if you believe it alan krueger says, as more people retire, it is the pig and the python, so as this comes out, you see that massive diversion. arl: this is why you say that overstate the improvement of the labor market. matt: people have to retire. they cannot work forever. i have this graph. sam sent me this chart. this is the under 35 proportion of labor report and over 35. jon: that is two charts. matt: i did not know it was a battle. david: thank you for joining us. we are just 35 minutes away from the jobs numbers on "bloomberg ." ♪ david: countdown to the job report. the u.s. economi

carl, thank you. now let's turn to the democrats polls in michigan and mississippi begin to close in just under one hour. fox whitee chief correspondent he had -- he had henry. >> i'm actually in ohio, you know. that tells us part of the story. hillary clinton wants to call the victory rally tonight in cleveland looking ahead one week from tonight when ohio will vote. that gives you a sense of how far she is confident she will do well in michigan tonight as well as mississippi. mississippi is an obvious one. she has an edge with african-american voters. she has largely swept the south over bernie sanders. michigan, i think, is a the sanders camp has been telling us for some time watch michigan. they are going to be very receptive to the sort of pro-middle class message from bernie sanders about how manufacturing jobs have disappeared and clinton has supported global trade deals that has not helped average workers. despite that pitch from sanders, though, clinton has been leading the late polls in michigan. she is able to survive that challenge from sanders it will really raise more questions about whether his mess

carl. we're just getting new information. they are going to be lowering the flags to half-staff here at 10:00 a.m. local. they already have done that at the whiteouse. the u.s. capitol and other public buildings. people -- media will be taken into the mrs. reagan gallery here. this library opened 25 years ago. and nancy reagan was very much a part of it in how it portrayed her husband's legacy from birth to hollywood to sacramento to washington. it is here where she will be buried next to him. a library preparing for a private funeral and internment the. mrs. reagan had previously designated who she wanted as speakers. along with information on how the public will be able to come and pay their respects. the library remains closed today. we had torrential rains this morning. yes, rains in southern california. and while during her life nancy reagan had her critics, no one doubted her devotion to her husband. she may have been a stylish and subdued first lady in public, but behind the scenes can, had had immense influence, and colin powell described her as the person who sometimes had to deliver the bad news. >> we were definitely on the inside wa

white house. determinedindex have the winner of the presidential election since 1964. carlelection from 1964 to present with two exceptions have been predicted by this gauge. the misery index is an informal indicator which adds up the unemployment rate and the inflation rate. if either or both of those are increasing, then presumably, households are becoming more miserable. more miserable, they tend to vote the bums out and when they do better, they tend to favor the incumbent party. matt: we have the misery index draft in white. heading up means more misery and the incumbent is out. going down is everything is better and the incumbent can stay. that was more of a watergate referendum for nixon. matt: clinton was an exception as well after george bush. carl: which is ironic because the mantra of the election was it is the economy. we were just coming out of the recession of 1991 and the economy did not feel like it was improving just yet. things were starting to improve and the official data, it would have predicted a reelection for george bush senior, but it just wasn't be

carl's question about the kurds operation for a federal state and northern syria. you have said that it is a political measure and we are not really interested in this, but could you just tell us white deciding about a group that you're going to support, do you pay attention to political moderation's or ideological background or goals? all of those things get paid attention to but they get paid attention to in washington, they probably can't talk to now because they can't get the metro but these are the things they worry about a national capitals. what we worry about is finding isil and killing them. that is is our focus. as we work with various partners and take advantage through d.c. and the national capitals, they come back with having been appropriately vetted and we work with them. you don't command to or look for example oversee what these people are doing over the is that what you're saying? it is just looking at the country and then decide about the group and then bring the group to un and say okay were going to give these people information? is that the process, to what extent is they playing the role in this process the pentagon can speak from that themselves, our role her
