listen to how he responded to the issue of hillary clinton and the possibility that hillary clinton would use her gender or would run as an historic candidate, being the first woman to be a nominee. listen to what donald trump said. >> well, i think the only card she has is the woman card. she's got nothing else going. frankly, if hillary clinton were a man, i don't think she'd get 5% of the vote. the only thing she's got going is the woman's card, and the beautiful thing is women don't like her, okay? >> if she were running as a man, eric, she wouldn't even get 5%. donald trump said it last night. now as he does the rounds on the morning shows this morning, that's the question he's going to be asked. that felt more like the old donald trump than perhaps the new, more restrained donald trump, who doesn't exist, frankly. >> absolutely. he said repeatedly last night, he's not planning on changing his tone, changing his approach. frankly, to lock up the nomination, all he needs to do is keep doing what he's been doing. you did see both candidates start to pivot toward the general election la

her campaign ads, with sharper words for bernie sanders, warning him not to hurt hillary clinton as now appear certainly more poised to be the democratic nominee than sanders. >> here in new york. any response to the strong words from the clinton campaign director, about what she says is bernie sanders to the strong words destrektive behavi idestr. >> we did hear from senator sanders himself for the first time tonight. he flew back to vermont to recharge his batteries, speaking as he stepped off his plane. he congratulates secretary clinton had her victory, he did point out in the next breath, there was all types of voting inregulariti inregularities. >> we lost tonight. there are five primaries next week. we think we will do well. and we have a path toward victory, which we are going to fight to maintain. thi thank you very much for being here. >> we think we have the message that is resinating throughout the country. we have come a long, long way. we have taken on the democratic political establishment. we have won many, many state primaries and caucuses. we think that message tha

what have we heard further from hillary clinton today? >> the clinton campaign is arguing today that, look, that sound bite proves their point, that she never said he wasn't unqualified. however, she was clearly trying to make the point that some of his answers to that interview in the new york daily news you were just discussing with kasie, proved he was unprepared. still, she never used the term unqualified. i think you'll hear the campaign push that point. they'll also push the point that, by senator sanders' standards, president obama, john kerry would be unqualified. president obama supports tpp. that's one of the points that was brought up. that sort of allows secretary clinton to hug president obama. we've seen her take that tactic to try to rally the democratic base. seems like the campaign using that in this instance again, seeing an opening there. and then they're making the point that you heard secretary clinton make earlier today when she spoke briefly with reporters. look, this only gives the gop fodder. she tried to stay abov

hillary clinton has won in maryland. big win for hillary clinton in maryland. huge win for donald trump in pennsylvania, maryland and connecticut. let's go over to trump headquarters right now. s sa sara murray is standing by. i presume they're going to be happy. >> reporter: i think you're right. obviously the trump campaign wants to sweep all five. they're well on their way with these three victories and they believe coming out of tonight they are going to have an undeniable sense of momentum that could help them in contests coming up in places like indiana, west virginia and the kind of momentum that's going to make it harder for people to argue there's any way that the gop nominee could be anyone but trump. they realize they may have to fight to june 7th to get those 1,237 delegates they need to become the nominee, but i think this string of victories will make it easier to bring on not only voters in upcoming states, but more unbound delegates who may have been a little bit unsure. they think if they come out with five wins tonight it will look like there

i've known hillary clinton for 25 years. i respect hillary clinton. we were colleagues in the senate, and on her worst day, she would be an in iffi infinit better president than either of the republican candidates. >> she's qualified. >> of course. >>> and keeping the heat on ted cruz over those controversial remarks on new york values. this time it's john kasich hitting cruz with a new ad. >> ted cruz sneered at our new york values. >> i think most people know exactly what new york values are. >> all right, to our political team, as the 2016 race is covers from all angles today, i want to bring in jacob rascon. jacob, paul manafort is now the new man at the top. what else can you tell us about his new, consolidated role in the trump campaign. >> reporter: thomas, this is undoubtedly a new phase of the campaign. you have this very small, very fight and unconventional campaign expanding, coming off the heels, of course, of that big wisconsin loss. paul manafort hired just over a week ago as the new manager. mr. trump in the release says he's taking on

hillary clinton is way ahead right now. she's ahead by almost 223,000 votes. 57.3% to bernie sanders 42.7%. a very, very impressive win for both hillary clinton on the democratic side and donald trump on the republican side. anderson, good night for both of them. >> no doubt, big wins for both. we heard from hillary clinton just a short time ago, and wolf mentioned how she began her opening remarks. let's play those before we go to the panel. again there's no place like nce- home. but this one's personal. >> and let's turn to our panelist, it was interesting to hear both hillary clinton and donald trump both sort of pivoting to a more general election and also, sort of striking, i don't know for hillary clinton, much of a different tone, but certainly for donald trump. >> i thought it was a different done for both of them to a degree. you know, hillary clinton tonight gave a great general election speech. and that's what, you know, she was talking about america is great. she was -- >> and comparing herself to donald trump.

experience, they think hillary clinton is experienced. at 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 and wins these states, and she has to retreat and go on offensive again bernie sanders. that's not what she wants to be doing right now. she doesn't want to be debating bernie sanders. she wants to be focused on the

for not being sensitive to second amendment needs. >> alex, to that point, back in 2008 when hillary clinton very different electoral circumstances and a different constituency against barack obama, she did sort of do the annie oakley thing. does the clinton campaign have any concern that there may actually be an opening for bernie sanders on that issue of guns, saying hillary clinton really hasn't done much on the issue and she tried to sort of portray herself in annie oakley in 2008? >> it was almost the same point in the primary process, in the pennsylvania primary that that audio leaked of obama talking about people clinging to their guns and religion that she went after him on that. i think what sanders is trying to do is muddy the water a little bit. i don't think he will convince people that he is stronger on guns just that maybe she's not as strong as she claims she is. i think it's a pretty good response from the sanders campaign but it's a little too late. she's been attacking him on guns since iowa. it's been one of her top issues. he's never really had a good response. never real

hillary clinton and bernie sanders are now in a high-speed spat over who is qualified to be presidentf the united states. things kickoff tuesday when cnn reported that the clinton campaign has a new three-part strategy to beat sanders. one, disqualify him, two, defeat him, and three, unify the party later on. then clinton went on "morning joe" and was asked about sanders' interview with the new york editorial board. >> do you believe that bernie sanders is qualified and ready to be president of the united states? sec. clinton: i think the interview raised a lot of serious questions. sec. sanders: 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 pacs. [applause] i don't think you are qualified if you have voted for the disastrous war in iraq.

he was talking about hillary clinton. he went after hillary clinton pretty hard.t if she were not a woman, if she were a man, she wouldn't even be getting 5% in the polls. why do you think he said that, and do you think that's an effective message for donald trump? look, he lost wisconsin, and he had all kinds of problems with statements and tweets, and things he had said about women. do you think that was wise for him to stay on stage last night? >> sure. so, john, when trump said that, it's important to, you know, give the context, which i'll do. trump came out to give his victory speech. it lasted, you know, 10, 15 minutes. then he asked for any questions from reporters. he sat there for almost half an hour answering questions from reporters after an election win, which you never see any other candidate have the courage or the boldness to do that. and the question that was asked was hillary clinton playing the gender card and calling donald trump sexist? and his response was to hillary clinton, calling donald trump sexist or whatever, maybe one day donald trump

>> things look more intense for the hillary clinton campaign than ever hoped. bernie sanders had a real win in a real battleground state. clinton has to prove that she's the strongest candidate. the campaign has had problems with excitement and enthusiasm. what they are now trying to do is contain bernie sanders. they believe new york is the place to stop him. so what i'm told they are going to start doing is show that he's not qualified to be president. so on the way to doing that, they are going to try to diminish his potential and we're already seeing that in interviews. he didn't spell out his plan to sort of break up the banks. she seized on that. the campaign seized on that. the entire transcript is saying, read this, he's not up to the task. she's also questioning if she's a true democrat. the sanders campaign is also seizing on this trying to disqualify them. it's a bit of a chess game. if bernie sanders wins new york or competes strongly, it's undecided in every way. >> hillary clinton, she's now pivoting back, right? she was almost pivoting to a genera

likewise with hillary clinton. this in your mind, dylan, really changes a lot. >> yeah, it changes a lot. i think we can pretty confidently say who the nominees in each party are going to be. the reasons again being for hillary clinton, she's practically there. for donald trump, no matter what, i mean, barring some sort of huge major change, she's going to get to the convention with at least the majority of votes on the republican side f not the full 1237 delegates. as we've seen from our exit polls, the majority, a large majority of republican voters believe the candidate who has the most delegates should be the nominee. it's going to be very hard for the republican establishment to come back and tell all those voters that their voice doesn't matter. the individual i'm most thinking about right now is bernie sanders. having acknowledged that he's effectively going to be pushing his agenda as opposed to his shot at the nomination now. the question i think the sanders campaign is asking themselves is this. how much

some of his attacks on hillary clinton. let's play some of what he said tonight and then we'll talk about it with his panel. >> hillary is, i call her crooked hillary. she is crooked. she will be a horrible president, terrible on jobs. she knows nothing about jobs, except for the jobs for herself. when it came to answering the phone at 3:00 in the morning, she was sleeping. she wasn't with benghazi and all of the other problems. you look at what she did with syria. you look at what she has done in so many different ways. she will not be a good president. she doesn't have the strength. she doesn't have the stamina. i know about dealing with china. i've made billions of dollars dealing with china. china can be dealt with and you can get along with them but hillary does not have the strength or the stamina to deal with china or other things. >> donald trump talking about how he may battle against hillary clinton. he keeps mentioning this stamina thing. >> the fact that he repeated it at least two times, three times. i think he

laws. >> hillary clinton is about the weakes

hillary clinton has apologized for the super predators language that she used back then. clinton to -- bill clinton has apologized for elements of the '94 crime bill. for him to then return to defending it and to defend in essence that language, you know -- 13-year-olds hopped up on crack. you know, it makes it that -- it makes it that much more difficult. part of the problem is that she is trying to distance herself from parts of her husband's legacy while yolking herself to obama's legacy. you know, as i've written, i think there is part of bill clinton that doesn't want to let her do that. >> he's defending himself more than defending her at this point. and i wondered, because when we talk about new york, anybody here in the '80s and '90s know there is a particular problem i haven't heard either candidate address. even though hillary clinton became a united states senator during the peak of the issues like the actual issues of police brutality in new york. do you expect that to come up at the debate and should it? >> it has to. these are issues that resonate in new york

hillary clinton thought she would have this locked up by march. ere? is the clinton campaign starting to feel a little nervous? >> i don't think so. i think we're seeing the campaign that has been going since day one. i think it is great we're having an actual real primary. everyone thought this would be a coronation. instead it has been a real race where we actually discussed issues. the economic, on the war in iraq, on our involvement, around the world. on environmental issues. and it is a far cry, in terms of the tenor i think between what we're seeing in the gop race. abby: lisa, it is interesting, even though the math does not add up for bernie sanders he is say staying in this thing. if anywhere he is stepping up attacks. >> exactly. enthusiasm on bernie sanders side. superdelegates aren't. bernie sanders's new attack on hillary clinton focusing on judgment should be where he is the entire time. he has been a professional protester in congress. so he can't speak to the qualifications aspect of attacking hillary clinton. that is a point of wea

can hillary clinton inspire democrats with the prospect of a second clinton presidency. can bernie increase his victories to six of the last seven contests, thereby shaking hillary loose from her image as the inevitable nominee? let's start with donald trump. the republican establishment here from the governor on down has lined up against trump. here in wisconsin. but here's the big but. the most recent poll out today from emerson college shows ted cruz ahead of trump by just five points. that's half the lead that cruz had in last week's polls. so trump may be regaining strength here in wisconsin. at a rally today, trump predicted a win here tomorrow. >> i really believe tomorrow we're going to have a very, very big victory. if we do well here, folks, it's over. if we don't win here, it's not over. but wouldn't you like to take the credit in wisconsin for ending it? give wisconsin the credit for ending it. and then we can focus on hillary instead of these two guys. >> well, trump mocked his rival ted cruz. here he is. >> we've gone through many, many states. i have won, i

he took some clear shots of hillary clinton. let's go to sarah murray at the trump headquarters in new york. sarah, in the presidential contest f it comes down to trump versus clinton, it sure looks like it is going to be vicious. trump already laying some big punches. >> i think you are absolutely right, jake. i think tonight we saw the early outlines of the general election battle. there were some questions about whether donald trump would suddenly adopt a new persona or change his tone as he prepares for a general election fight. i think we saw tonight that's just not the case. he came up with some of his hardest hits. he said the only reason she is winning so far is because she is a woman. >> the only card she has is the woman's card. she has nothing else going. frankly, if hillary clinton were a man, i don't think she would get 5% of the vote. the only thing she has going is the woman's card. the beautiful thing is, women don't like her, okay? >> now, i'm sure that comment will cause some raised eyebrows, maybe not in the re

>> if she gets in office, it's 25 or 30 trillion when she leaves. >> when hillary clinton travels there's going to need to be two planes. one for her and her entourage and one for her baggage. >> the republicans seem to be talking only about me. >> summer 2015, polls showed clinton with a big lead, but in august, bernie sanders began to rise, while clinton began to dip. >> thank you all very much! >> bernie sanders had a message. wall street's bad. we need to do something about these big campaign donors buying influence, and hillary's message was kind of fuzzy. i'm fight for you. i'm a woman. >> october brought the first debate on cnn, where senator sanders surprised many. >> enough of the e-mails. let's talk about the real issues facing america. >> he chose not to focus on the controversy surrounding secretary clinton's private uses of her e-mail server as secretary of state. >> tradition's operatives say you shouldever have taken aaa potential arrow from your arsenal. the mistake in looking a the it that way they underestimate how effective that was for him and his supporters in reinfor

do you think they should be willing to ais port hillary clinton? >> like i said this is a different movement than any we've seen before. it's not only about supporting a particular party but for certain principals. if secretary clinton can find a way to bring us all in the tent, i think people would be open to that. but if she acts dismissive when talking about our campaign, that might be difficult. but we're not thinking about any of those kinds of things yet. >> you say bringing bernie's followers into the tent with her. what about him maybe getting a spot in a clinton administration. >> we're still looking at win the nomination. we think that we can do that and we're going to stand behind bernie all the way. >> i want to ask you finally though about some of the problems at the polls for bernie supporters specifically. there were 125,000 people, by some counts, who were purged from some of the polls. do you think that impacted sanders' campaign and will be a problem moving forward? >> caller: he's very, very concerned and so are the rest of us abo

they side with hillary clinton on that. just 9% chose bernie sanders. finally the top issue, economy and jobs, of course, for democrats. 61% for clinton. 39% sanders. the only economic issue sanders won, income inequality, pretty much the hallmark, right? the cornerstone of his campaign. income equality. he won that category in new york. >> christine, seems hillary clinton heard everything she wanted to hear last night except an early call on the race. returns were big for her. now you have to look at what this means for bernie sanders moving forward. it's all about what happens next in these races. let's get to that right now. we have cnn political analyst and host of "the david gregory show" podcast, david gregory. washington bureau chief for "the daily beast," jackie kucinich and maggie haberman. we can all hear ron brownstein in the distance holding up a big sign saying, this is what needed to happen. it is what needed to happen. especially the last number christine gave us. she had been losing to bernie with white voters, less educated voters, one o

tonight ted cruz was taking it right to hillary clinton. at's not going to change the fact there are a number of contests left, including right here in california. >> let's just focus on new york as the next big one for hillary, she needs to win it, obviously, but she needs to win it big, dylan. >> she needs to win it big. you need to win your home state big. ted cruz needed to win texas, rub yoe needed to win florida, and that's not way he's not in the race anymore. i will say this as the resident media reporter, we are heading into not only the nation's biggest media market, we're heading into a very robust, gossipy, fun, fiery, fast-paced media market. you saw with bernie sanders' interview with "the new york daily news," which was a disaster for him, we'll get to a point where it's not just "the new york times" and the "wall street journal," the tabloids will be going after these candidates and you'll have sanders from brooklyn, hillary clinton having served in new york, donald trump in new york, i mean, this is really going to be a fun
