howard kurtz tells us who is on this perhaps fantasy short list.

howard kurtz joins me with more on all this momentum. howie, how much does it matter?atters a lot psychologically, and i like to talk psychologically because i didn't do that well in math. [laughter] i think we've gone a little too deep into the delegate math scenarios. when trump rolled up the win in new york, the fave states on tuesday with 60% margins in most those states, suddenly most of his skeptics in the press said he's probably going to be the nominee, most voters, and 66% of connecticut republicans in our exit poll said the person with the most votes at cleveland -- even if he hasn't reached the number -- should be the nominee. that's huge. trish: all right. momentum's on his side, but cruz is very good on the ground game. i was just talking with evan as he left the set, and he said one of the things that hasn't come up a lot is the lack of digital analysis that trump has. he doesn't have any. whereas you think about one of the keys to obama's success in winning the nomination against hillary eight years ago was that he had all that data, big data. he's relyi

this is "media buzz" and i am howard kurtz. >> donald trump could be head for a big win in new york in two days but the media focus is on the nature of how delegates are chosen since the colorado convention gave all of the delegates to ted cruz without most g.o.p. voters expressing a professor presence and same in oklahoma. donald trump called the system rig asked corrupt but is blamed for a feeble effort on the ground. >> does it say something about your leadership ability if i for someone who calls themself an organizational genius who created an amazing business organization you could not create an organization on the ground to beat ted cruz organization? >> i started with $1 million loan and i build $10 billion company. >> a lot of similarities in this case, i have won most it. you can say what about organization? well, how come i'm lead by hundred of delegates and millions of votes. adonald trump has been yelling. and screaming. a lot of whining. i'm sure some cursing. >> no cursing on show. joining to us analyze the college is heidi przbyla political corporate for "usa today" and

joining me now is frank luntz and howard kurtz. so frank, hasn't been a great week for donald trump. it was a decent week for ted cruz, and yet trump, despite his missteps, still has the momentum and even though it's not looking great in wisconsin, is really looking good in new york, which has a whole lot of delegates. >> let's focus on wisconsin first. they went through three straight elections to protect scott walker. they're conservatives in policy and ideology, and they care about what a candidate thinks and what they say. the key in wisconsin is that you just can't offer platitudes. you have to offer specifics. these voters have been through this over the last four, six years and they expect candidates to say what they mean and mean what they say. these are bad days for donald trump over the last 96 hours because he's seen to be inconsistent. but what is key here, and tucker's right, if either cruz or kasich are seen to disrespect trump voters, they will hurt themselves. the key is to understand and reflect that anger, reflect

joining me is the host of media buzz, howard kurtz. latest column looks at the mainstream media, and they're going apoplectic, of people supporting donald trump. they can't seem to understand that somebody might like this candidate. >> it's kind of a bizarre situation when you have the leading candidates including ted cruz with negative rating, unfavorables of 50% or higher. some pundits on the right are depressed because they feel like either cruz or trump as a nominee with those high negatives could hand the white house to hillary clinton and some pundits are tearing their hair out are saying we should win this thing, but the polls showing hillary being regarded as unexciting or untrustworthy. so they're bummed out is the guest way to put it. >> can you explain this to me? you watch the other channels and read this stuff, it seems like so many people in the mainstream media are trying to spin donald trump's campaign evolution as something like we can't trust this guy. there must be something else going on. what do you make of all tha

hear to weigh in on cruz's blame game, howard kurtz, host of "media buzz" and fox news medial analyst. howard we heard it again. trump said, i'm sorry cruz said it just now, earlier on he said lapdogs in the media want to say the race is over. amazing to me everyone thinks the media is against their campaign. it is on the side of the other guy. have you noticed that? we could do a segment and go on twitter say you're obviously in the tank for trump and obviously in the tank for cruz in same segment, people will accuse you, it is crazy. >> every week. melissa: what do you make of that? >> trump is no fan of the media either. melissa: right. >> i heard senator cruz make this charge before. he said network news executives, are card-carrying partisan democrats. they want trump to win so he will be weakest candidate to lose to hillary. i'm afraid i'm not buying that. you might want they want trump to win because better ratings and better box office. melissa: right. >> striking ted cruz saying media covering all the boring process stories. maybe. cruz's whole rationale for his candidacy is

ashley: thank you so much, howard kurtz, we appreciate it.on't forget to watch howie on media buzz at 11a. and 5 p.m. eastern every sunday, "media buzz." >>> donald trump saying he's the only one with a real path to the gop nomination, and trump is, by the way, the only gop candidate left who can actually reach the magic number of 1237 delegates. but to do that, he still has to snag 58% of those remaining delegates. so the question is, can he? we're asking hoover institution fellow jeremy cowell that very question. jeremy, is it out of the realm of possibility that donald trump could get at least 58% of the outstanding delegates? >> thanks, ashley, for the question. i think it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility, but nor is it as likely as it's being played in the media right now. i think the reality is everybody who is actually counting the delegates pretty much expected donald trump to do exactly what he did delegate wise in new york. everybody who's counting the delegates expects him to essentially sweep next week too. it's whe

. >> joining me now with more fox news media buzz host howard kurtz. howie, good to see you.o was this a fair piece or not a fair piece? >> another trump disgusted by the media. melania has a point. why on earth is it necessary to publish a piece about melania's father back in slovenia, back in 1965, back before he met melania's mother, getting involved in a paternity lawsuit and having to pay child suit support to a son that everyone glees she hasn't met. what does this have to do with the potential first lady? >> why do we care? how does this relate to the vote if 2016? >> exactly. i mean, it's an invasion of privacy. she asked the magazine not to publish it. the dad is hardly a public figure. it tefeels like an attempt to g headline. this wreaks of condescension. there's the $100,000 dior wedding dress that the laborers -- >> that piece didn't bother me. that's what her wedding dress cost. they had a fancy wedding. so what? it's a vision into the lifestyles of the rich and famous. >> then we have the supposed friend, blind quote, saying she is not a bimbo, but she's not es

melissa: here to weigh in howard kurtz, fox news media analyst and "mediabuzz" host. when you watch that bite, what do you think? >> i think i heard this from donald trump a number of times including in interviews with me. he trying to make a pivot to disciplined, restrained candidate, somebody gets under his skin, he can't help himself, he retreats i have to beat everybody first and then i can be more presidential. melissa: do you think he thinks he would need to do that now? it has been a difficult week. a lot have made the idea that he alienated too many women and he needs to do something like, what if now was the time he sat down and was a softer donald with say, megyn kelly? >> sure. megyn already said she would be happy to have him on the show. when you go back two or three weeks attacking megyn kelly, attacking, retweeted that picture of senator cruz's wife heidi was a mistake a word he almost never uses. thpivot may have started couple weeks ago but it's a long campaign. the question if he tones it down does he lose the thing got him here, which is his ability

joining me now, two guys who know what they're doing, chris stirewalt and howard kurtz. good to see you both. >> hi megyn. >> you must feel good because you can't do worse than bret and i just did. >> i feel like kasich. >> low bar. >> let me start with this. bloomberg politics reporter just tweeted out, if donald trump were anyone else we'd be calling him the trumtive nominee. if ted cruz or anyone else the gop would have rallied around him. chris, is that true? >> there's a lot of truth to that. in the case of trump, he would have been the presumptive nominee a while ago after michigan. that's when romney locked it up winning michigan illinois. wins big states, it's over. people fall in behind him. in the case of cruz i think that's 100% true. at every moment, all of these republicans who said, we must stop donald trump, we desperately have to stop trump. cruz is standing over there saying, hey guys what if you voted for he? no let's make it much more complicated. we need a more complicated strategy. they don't like him. you know why? because the republican party is la
