. >> sreenivasan: newshour correspondent john yang was at trump's first rally in ohio today and joined me earlier by phone. what did you see? >> so, it was a typically robust, enthusiastic supportive crowd for donald trump this morning at the dayton airport. it was about 5,000 or several thousand people in a hangar. the fire marshal closed it off after a certain point. another, say, 100 or so, lined up along a fence outside to watch trump's 757 land and taxi in to the hangar, or to behind the hangar. only about maybe 100 or so protesters outside. a handful managed to get inside but those inside mainly made their presence known by standing silently and holding up signs. one i saw, an eight and a half by 11 piece of paper hand printed, "trump equals hate." but there were no disruptions, nothing like last night. >> sreenivasan: the supporters you spoke with, what was their reaction to what happened last night? >> they were angry with the protesters. one said the protesters expressing their first amendment rights were denying them-- denying donald trump and his supporters their first amend

now let's wrap up this super tuesday sequel and go back to john yang in ohio.'re joined by amy walter from the cook political report. john yang you have started this out by being in the kasich headquarters all night. but i want to ask you about hillary clinton. they would have had a bad night had they lost ohio. where did she do well and where did bernie sanders do not what he hoped. >> that really is the other big story here in ohio. bernie sanders did not capitalize on the extra money, extra time he spent in north eastern ohio. an area where manufacturing jobs have gone away. i talked to a couple people, democratic voters this afternoon. they said they really liked bernie sanders. they liked what he was saying but they didn't think he was practical. they wondered how he was going to pay for things particularly his healthcare proposal and his college tuition proposal. so as a result, they ended up voting for hillary. gwen. >> amy walters 3w50eu9 way the associated press is projected donald trump is the winner on the republican side in the state of north caroli

john yang reports. >> creo en el pueblo cubano. i believe in the cuban people. >> reporter: in the final speech of his historic visit, president obama laid out a future of possibilities, but no guarantees. >> i have come here to bury the last remnant of the cold war in the americas. i want the cuban people, especially the young people to understand why i believe that you should look to the future with hope. not the false promise that insists things are better than they really are. or the blind optimism that says all you problems can go away tomorrow. >> reporter: with state tv beaming the speech into cuban households, mr. obama talked of freedom. >> let me tell you what i believe. i can't force you to agree, but you should know what i think. i believe every person i believe citizens should be free to speak their mind without fear. to organize and to criticize their government and to protest peacefully and that the rule of law should not include arbitrary detentions of people who exercise those rights. >> reporter: yesterday, the co
