there were a the lot of unknowns of jack kennedy in 1960 as a catholic, as a young senator.she helped him a lot. i think milan yeah can help c donald trump with some his likability problem that he runs into. the state votes on tuesday, teds cruz is holding a five point lead, donald trump is at 32, john key okay is at 21 percent. 42 delegates are up for grabsp and of course the issue on allal of this is whether or not this will be the fire wall. is this the place that donald trump will be dealt a defeat that will deny him the abilityly to get a first ballot victory at the convention in wisconsin? iso wisconsin governor scott walker had called trump's comments about ted cruz a distraction and disruptive to the party.art here's what walker has to say about how donald trump has conducted himself. is this just another example particularly in the midwest ofof distractions from the reel issues. we want to hear what the candidates think about thees t economy, the defense of ourou nation. that's the reason why i'mi'm supporting ted c actually got a plan.n. >> clearly scott walker was

ronald reagan and jack kennedy were outsiders.epresented a new vision in a new generation of ideas. jack kennedy looked forward, instead of back to the first half century of world war. he knew that america could dream and build if we were set free. not tanks for war, but rockets for exploration. ronald reagan looked out to us, the most powerful force for innovation that world has ever known. we found bill gates and a young steve jobs, they had vision, and the freedom to build a new world that at the time, only they saw. because they were free. they challenged the way and changed the way that all of us live, work and interact. now it is our turn. this generation must look inward to see who we are, after years being beaten down. years of being told we couldn't, shouldn't or wouldn't. this generation needs to answer a new set of questions. can we? should we? will we? >> apparently, not a lot of wide eyed youth staring at ted cruz, 14 or so percent, a bad night for him. in terms of a path forward, do you hold on to the notion that the

kennedy is alone. >> all right, guys. let's go. >> ready to go, jack? inally, he had about two minutes with kennedy, and he said, we've all been worrying about what we can do to help. what about calling coretta king? >> kennedy's fearful of alienating southern governors and southern democrats by being pro civil rights. but that all changes. >> kennedy calls coretta king to offer his support. >> that was a big decision. kennedy decides to do what is morally right. >> a simple phone call was a very noble thing to do. undoubtedly he did this for political reasons, but he did it. nixon did not. >> when kennedy's call leaks to the press, his brother bobby all but froths at the mouth. >> he was white with anger. he said sargent shriver and i have probably lost the campaign. he was furious. >> my father was a little disturbed about that because he was worried how well that would go over with some of the, you know, white governors. >> the deed is done. but bobby soon realizes he can turn the situation to his brother's advantage. he demands the release of king. >

kennedy. as at this point o'neal recalls jack went to chicago prepared for lightning to strike. nessee senator 483 delegates to 304. al gore senior earned 178. new york's robert wag they are 162. hubert humphrey 134. no can't dade had a majority are. second ballot kennedy started to gain. arkansas shifted to kennedy, then new york. texas proudly cast its vet -- for the fighting senator who wears the scars of battle. it was lyndon johnson. then as bobby kennedy would charge, something fishy happened. speaker sam rue burn who was chairing the convention refused to recognize the delegation shifting to kennedy, instead, he called on oklahoma which went to another. from there the tide turned. minnesota, tennessee, missouri, all went to him. kennedy now saw his moment in one of those iconic moves that marked his career. he started pushing his way through the convention floor, arriving at the podium, he grandly conceded the race. and that impulsive race to the podium made kennedy a hero, made him look the victim to fellow catholics, who saw bias in what had happened. to them it was anot

. >> senator, you're no jack kennedy. >> here's later in debate, al gore walked up to bush. >> al gorend get in his face. bush doesn't say anything. just looks at him, smiles, gives him the head wink, and goes on. >> i believe i can. >> that was it. it just -- you know, it just absolutely devastated gore. >> you watch him go. >> yeah. we all revert to our junior high mentality, you know, when our team scored. yeah, you know! >> most people don't know is that bush had been prepared. >> jud gregg, who had played the role of al gore in the debate prep, had seen him pull this trick. he said to bush, be prepared, he's going to come and get in your face. we all dismissed at the time, but sure enough it happened. >> which raises the question how do candidates prepared? these two debate coaches showed me. they prepped president bush for debate. o'donnell later coached mitt romney and michele bachmann. they spent hours trying to replicate debate moments. >> you have the candidate stand in front of a podium like this as realistic as possible? >> yeah. you want a strong bearing, erect. look at co

charlie: there were some cases, historically, one, as jack kennedy said, if nelson rockefeller got the nomination, kennedy said, i could have beaten him. elections even if they are not the favorite of the party because conventions are controlled by extremes within the party. guest: generally speaking. his case for electability is weak. the case, generally, for electability, does not have much purchase. most people who vote in primaries are motivated by issues, ideas, philosophical principles. they are not motivated by strategy. they do not sit there with a chessboard and say, i disagree with this, but he can do that. they are motivated by leadership. you cannot just sit there, laying up a map, if there is no real excitement. charlie: let's assume that someone had to have been in the race. if the nomination goes to somebody else, what is donald trump likely to do? guest: create as much trouble as he can. donald trump does not care about the republican party. donald trump cares about one thing, donald trump. he will create all kinds of chaos. the nominee will be donald trump or ted cruz.

this is where jack kennedy beat hubert humphrey. it's also where jean mccarthy and just in polling here, against lyndon johnson. he took the news you're looking to mccarthy. johnson quits the race and leaves the presidency. jimmy carter got to wave the paper in the air the next day and show what an upset he had won. i think this week the challengers will do well out. that means ted cruz and bernie sanders. i think they will win out here. i just have a little fun. i think villanova wasn't the only upset this week. >> all right. putting it in final four terms. chris matthews who had a hand in this news circle this season out in wisconsin. more on that as we go into the evening. >> that's right. his trump town hall in wisconsin ended up being the closest thing trump has had to game changing media appearance yet thus far in the race. donald trump and ted cruz battling it out in wisconsin. ted cruz seems to be ahead in the polls but trump is not conceding. he's been campaigning really, really hard in t state. he hasn't walked away at all

things -- the democratic coalition that had held together with lyndon johnson from the south and jack kennedy from the north is breaking up before our very eyes in 1968. remember the democratic party for a long time had a solid south. who is franklin roosevelt's running mate? garner from south texas. it's all cracking up before our eyes in 1968. >> the democratic party is really be your ship. commissionfamous called the mcgovern fraser commission that looks into the rules to figure out how to make the party more legitimate and open up some. toy propose a series of warm do things like open up the caucus system. opposed,e reforms get the way the states respond is to say the easiest thing to do is to shift the primary election. so there is a massive shift that occurs by 1976. delegates begin to be selected by primary election. when this system went into effect in the early 70's, these are two very famous political scientists. this had always been an ongoing anxiety about the method you choose a president, going back to the 19th century. they said if you go to this purely populist system in which

sean, we've been at a political era since jack kennedy swept the democratic primaries, nixon swept the republican primaries in '68, mcgovern had a great campaign and took the democratic -- the idea that we're going to backroom politics like the 19th century and confer the nomination on somebody who is a clear loser, it's not going to go with the american people. it looks like it's a contradiction of democracy. >> what about -- >> and it is. >> what about comments, john boehner, for example, oh, anybody can be nominated on the convention floor, or the comments yesterday of mitch mcconnell or the comments of mitt romney or the comments of karl rove about a fresh face. clearly there seems to be a strategy emerging behind closed doors about the white knight candidate that's going to come in, somebody who didn't even run in this primary, which would render everybody's vote, everybody's caucus time, irrelevant and they would be s disenfranchi disenfranchised. >> rove talks about a fresh face. we have watched this process for a full year almost. we watched it every week. it has been terrific.

charlie: there were some cases, historically, one, as jack kennedy said, if nelson rockefeller got theomination, he could have beaten him. that was kennedy's assessment in 1960. someone who can't get the moderate -- nomination for a lot of reasons, but might be a moderating force can win elections even if they are not the favorite of the party because conventions and primaries are controlled by extremes within the party. dan: generally speaking. his case for electability is weak. the case, generally, for electability, never has much purchase. most people who vote in primaries and participate are motivated by issues, ideas, motivated by philosophical principles. they are not motivated by strategy. they do not sit there with a chessboard and say, i disagree with him on this, but he can do that. they are motivated by ideas and leadership. you cannot just sit there, laying out a map, if there is no real excitement. convention,ontested if the nomination goes to somebody else, what is donald trump likely to do? al: create as much trouble as he possibly can. donald trump does not care about t

i'm going to stand on truth, the constituency of bobby kennedy and franklin roosevelt and jack kennedy and let the cards fall where they will. this country needs a true opposition party. i'm going to represent that constituency, the unrepresented and let the american people make the choice. >> i see you are wearing the red ribbon of aids awareness. as you probably know the bush administration announced a new media campaign last week. what the media -- the media campaign did not include telling people how to avoid getting aids. it did not mention condoms, safe sex, clean needles. we are now 11 years into this epidemic and millions infected. what is your in reaction to that kind of campaign? mr. brown: another part of the invasion of the governing elite. obviously hiv is passed by sex. particularly by amel sex. we have yet to talk about that. condoms are not 100% and people ought to know that but they are going to protect to a measurable degree. we have good knowledge it. communicateition to and the president is in a strong position to provide the funding to discourage -- >> the fact tha

. >> rose: i remind you also, but there are some cases historically, one is jack kennedy said if nelson rockefeller could have gotten the nomination, he could have beaten him, kennedy's assessment in 1960. somebody who can get the nomination for a lot of reasons but who may be a mod racing force can win elections even though they're not the favorite of the party because party conventions and primaries are controlled by extremes within the party. >> i think his case for electability is weak. i think the case in jen for electability doesn't have much purchase. i think most parties who vote and parts paid penn state are motivated by issues, ideas, philosophical principals, not by strategy. they don't sit there with a chess board and say well i disagree with him on this, this and this but i think he could do this and in the general election that, they're motivated by ideas and leadership and you can't lay out the math and explain how to win if there is no excitement. >> rose: let's assume somebody has to have been in the race whether they're still in it or not. if the nomination goes to som

ronald reagan and a jack kennedy were outsiders.hey both represented a whole new vision and vibrant -- vibrance, a whole generation of activities. forward,edy looked instead of the last half-century of world war. he knew america could dream and build up we were set free. buttax -- tanks for work, explorers. reagan looked to us, the most powerful force for innovation the world has ever known. there we found new tech pioneers like bill gates and a young steve jobs. they had vision, and the freedom to build a new world, that at the time, only they saw, because they were free. they challenged the way and changed the way all of us lived, worked, and interactive. -- interacted. now it is our turn. we must look inward to see who we are after years of being beaten. down years we were told we couldn't, shouldn't, or wouldn't. this generation needs to answer a new set of questions, can we, should we, will be? are we still those people, those dreamers and doers? are america's greatest generations in our past, or are best days ahead? we must un

>> i'll tell you what the question reminds me of, remember bill buckley's characterization of jack kennedy's economic team. he said that like virginal professors of anatomy in that they read all the books, but never been there. and i think this, with particularly this populous stuff, it is just meant to appeal to the more base instincts of people pointing fingers of blame and saying, well, everything would be fine if you did away with big business men. really? well, if you did away with big business, who would employ everybody? >> final word, bill. >> let me pick up on that if i could. business provides the greatest capitalism greatest economic engine you've ever seen. capital is -- to fund government, to fund nonprofits, to fund philanthropy. we're biting the hand that feets us. unfortunately, everyone running for office has got on this populous kick. i think we're going to have a rough year. the issue we have is we have global companies operating with local tax jurisdictions. and so ford was criticized for taking -- putting the focus on mexico, ford focus, that is. at the same time they're

i was talking on my producer earlier on about how bobby kennedy was going through delegations for his brother jackll of a sudden lbj who had never run in a single primary was saying, i might just cobble together just what i need to take this from you. it is all about going state by state by state. isn't it? >> and individual by individual by individual. at the convention. it is going to be very interesting. i have a scene in all my president's children where a breathless writer come up to a carriage in 1852 in new hampshire. he stops the carriage and he says, senator pierce, you were just nominated for president of the united states on the 49th ballot at the democratic convention in baltimore. his wife falls over in a dead faint. we're back to those exciting moments. >> hopefully we don't go to 49. the prevailing winds is that it might to go multiple ballots. i guess a lot would go to donald trump. how close he is to 1237. the closer you are, usually the easier it is to cobble together. even there cruz has been able to get quite a few. play that out for me. what do you think? >> yeah. marco on thi
