lou? . lou: carl cameron, thank you. on the democratic side, the closed new york primary is something of an uphill battle as a result of bernie sanders. he's relied on independents to drive much of his recent winning streaks. hillary clinton will likely walk away a winner tonight, but if she wins by a narrow margin, it would be hard to make the case that sanders is no longer a viable candidate. fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry with our report. >> how's it going? >> reporter: strolling the streets of manhattan, bernie sanders poured cold water on talk of a clinton coronation tonight. >> we're feeling very good. there is a large voter turnout ahead of three million people not being able to participate we're going to do just fine. >> reporter: sanders referring to the fact new york is not an open primary so independents cannot vote in the democratic race. something hillary clinton is hoping will help her win expressing confidence as she was joined by her husband, former presi

now, lou dobbs. lou: good evening, everybody. i'm lou dobbs. republican presidential candidates tonight turning their attention to new york, the next primmary election battle coming up less than two weeks from tonight. donald trump trying to put his loss in wisconsin behind him, holding a big rally in bethpage new york tonight. that rally is set to begin this hour, it will start momentarily, and when he does move to the podium, we'll be there with our cameras and microphones. some 18,000 of his supporters have requested tickets to the trump campaign ent. we'll have it for you le from the graum an studios venue when trump does take the stge. cruz's victory, reresounding 36 delegates compared to 3 that go to trump. >> tonight is the tururning point, the rallying cry. the call from the hard working men and women of wisconsin to the people of america. as a result of tonight, as a result of the people of wisconsin defying the media, defying the pundits, i am more and more convinced that our campaign is going to earn the 1237 delegates needed to win

lou: good evening, everybody. i'm lou dobbs. what a difference a few days and a change of state can make, from the disappointment of wisconsin to the comfort of his home state, and the commanding lead in new york polls. a brand-new emerson college poll shows donald trump with a soaring 34-point lead in new york. trump with 56% support on the emerson poll compared to ted cruz's 22%. and trump hasn't been on the campaign trail for the past two days. he's focusing instead on his businesses. even the "new york times" now acknowledges that gop establishment claims that he can't gain 1237 delegates are simply wrong. times admitting trump's path to 1237 is, in their words, not mission impossible. here is the times in the times's own words -- there are no reliable polls out of indiana but the real clear politics average shows trump with an 8-point lead in california. we take up the republican race with a very important trump supporter, pastor robert jeffers is here tonight. hillary clinton dismissing outright the notion she could end up

lou: good evening, everybody, i'm lou dobbs. speculation running rampant tonight after donald trump held a surprise sitdown with the republican national committee chairman. that meeting comes two days after trump abandoned the rnc pledge to support whoever is to be the nominee, by both accounts. the meeting went well. trump tweeted, quote -- the chairman and mr. trump had a productive conversation about the state of the race. meeting and phone conversations with candidates and their campaigns are common, and will increase as we get closer to november. i just bet they do get more common. but the rnc is also signaling it may be preparing for a brokered convention. they've launched a new website, it's called convention facts dot gop, it lays out the party's rules for nominating a presidential candidate. also tonight, brand new fox business polls on the state of the race in wisconsin. i'll have the numbers for you here in just moments. and we'll take a deep dive into trump's campaign schedule. trump promised to campaign in wisconsin

now here's lou dobbs. lou: good evening, everybody. i'm lou dobbs. donald trump's campaign now says they've clinched the republican nom. an internal campaign memo says advisers are projecting trump will win more than 1400 delegates on the first round of balloting at the cleveland convention in july. their confidence comes after trump trounced his rivals in new york last night. he took more than 60% of the votes, 89 delegates in all. listen to trump as he claimed victory. >> we're going to be really -- i mean, legitimately, so great again, and i just can't wait. so we don't have much of a race anymore, based on what i'm seeing on television. senator cruz is just about mathematically eliminated. [cheers and applause] . lou: as it turns out, he wasn't just about, he was mathematically eliminated. senator cruz. trump turning his attention to the five states along the northeast corridor that will vote next tuesday. trump set to take the stage at a campaign rally in berlin, maryland, this very hour, and we'll be going to that podium when he takes the stage
