so that massachusetts result, i live in massachusetts, i'm there every weekend.he amount of campaign material and the amount of campaign effort put out by the sanders' campaign was absolutely overwhelming. so for them to try that hard in massachusetts and then not pull it out, that is, legitimately, a disappointment for the sanders' campaign. now, i don't think it's a fatal one. i think anybody who raised $42.5 million in february, including $6 million yesterday. >> he raised more -- >> yesterday! >> bernie sanders raised more money yesterday than marco rubio raised in the entire month of january. bernie sanders is minting money and all the people he's getting it from are giving it to him in small amounts. so he can go back to all of them, over and over and over again. there's no reason to count bernie sanders out until he wants to be out, if only because he can float on a sea of money all the way to philadelphia. >> let's match chris matthew's use of latin. we have to ixnay to a break. we'll be back on the other side. >>> at about eight minutes before the hour,

nobody knows who will get massachusetts. hillary clinton was a couple of numbers ahead of the polls, but today i went to a couple of voting wards where there is big college populations. those numbers are skyrocketing much higher than 2008. ed: let' s talk about massachusetts. trump and sanders vote that has been driving this huge turnout. no question about it. i think it is a real dogfight between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. for all those people who took all those ballots, the big turnout will help trump. will it help sanders enough? we will find out. ed: who stays? does rubio say it, kasich or carson? patrick: these are proportionate delegates. i don' t know what the cause is going forward. does ted cruz win texas big? i' m sure it is hard for them to justify staying in for a lot longer. the same is true for sanders. as long as there is room at the convention and he can make his point, he will be there. ed: we shift now from proportionately delegates to a couple of weeks and out winner take all. side, not democrats.
