hi, kenneth hi monica.ork city mayor michael bloomberg announced he will not be running for president in this 2016 race and even with that there's still plenty of march madness in this race. republican ted cruz is gaining on donald trump in the delegate count and democrat bernie sanders he's got a lot of work to do to catch up to hillary clinton. the race for the white house is focused on the race for delegates. hillary clinton is working to widen her lead on bernie sanders. >> we have differences but those differences pale in comparison to what we see going on among the republicans right now. you know, i'm interested in results, they're interested in insults. >> reporter: 147 democratic delegates are up for grab in michigan's primary. the math is an increasing problem for sanders. that's not impacting his confidence or the size of his rallies. >> please have the great state of michigan lead this country forward toward a political revolutionism the democrat spent the day on the ground in michigan where flin

hi, melissa. >> hi, monica.e have a couple changes on the way as we head into our weekend but still a very comfortable friday evening. a big change, though, from what we had yesterday. saying goodbye to the 80's. yesterday we had a record high of 82 in philadelphia and today we max out at 69. so, yes, relatively cooler but still above the average of 51 by a good 18 degrees. so, when you look at the 24 hour temperature change across the region it's 10 degrees cooler in the city than it was the same time yesterday. 16 degrees cooler in allentown and 11 degrees cooler in atlantic city than it was just 24 hours ago. we've got you covered if you're out on the town tonight. 58 degrees at 7:00 p.m. it's mostly clear at 8 o'clock. we'll drop down into the lower 50's at 9 p.m. staying into the lower 50's at 10 o'clock tonight and in the upper 40's at 11:00 p.m. underneath a mostly clear sky so conditions will be cooling down relatively quickly. here's what we can expect as we head into our weekend. a sunny start tomorrow

good evening, john. >> reporter: good evening, monica. well, it was sort of a big picture, little picture issue. the big picture the city says the water department and the big water main lead is not an issue. the little picture in this case are those individual lines that run to individual homes, they're called service lines. some of those in older homes are actually made of lead and that could be of concern. philadelphia processes about 250 million gallons of drinking water a day. given the mess in flint, council wanted to know about lead here. >> let me begin by noting that philadelphia's drinking water is lead free and that there are clear differences between flint and philadelphia. >> reporter: the water commissioner maintains the water delivered to consumers is lead free. the concern service lines smaller pipes that branch off underground to individual buildings, they belong to property owners. it's estimated in philadelphia 50 to 60,000 service lines are made of lead. still others are copper with lead sodder. >> risk for led contami

. >> hi monica, hi rick. essential hard to believe that we are tracking snow especially with temperatures so mild ahead of this system. in order to produce snowfall we have to talk about cold air. here's satellite6 along with action radar. there's a frontal boundary, a cold front we're tracking and we did have some sunshine earlier today, sun giving way to increasing clouds and there could be a spotty shower from time to time as we go throughout the rest of tonight but in the wake of this frontal boundary dipping down to our south and east, numbers are falling off fairly quickly. to our north it's 37 in syracuse. 35 in bangor maine and 26 degrees in caribou but to the south of that still 63 in philadelphia and 61 degrees in baltimore. so, this front will shift on off to our south and east as we go throughout the rest of tonight and into our weekend so that will establish relatively colder air across the region. now we'll talk about the moisture. storm tracker6 live double scan radar 3-d showing you we've got

i'll throw this to monica.s clearly their plan is that they want to get another person and leapfrog over the people that got the most votes, trump and cruz, do they think those people show up and actually vote for them in a general election? >> you have voter rebellion on both sides. you see the support of bernie sanders on the far left in the democratic party. that's a revolt going on on that side. if they try to take this away from donald trump assuming he ends up with the most number of delegates, there will be a rebellion in the republican party in the conservative movement and already started frankly. but if they try to pull these kinds of shenanigans and deny him that, you will see a revolt that will rip apart this party. the great irony is that they're blaming donald trump for tearing apart the republican party. no. the republican party elites have done a fine job of this all along. hence the rise of donald trump. >> and doesn't it rae inforce, reiners to reinforce, herman casino, the very reason that th

i agree with monica 100%. here in massachusetts, mitt romney's home base, there's no one, no conservative that supports him trying to sabotage the will of the people. donald trump won big in massachusetts in the primary and the basically the conventional wisdom here in massachusetts is mitt romney should get lost and let the voters decide who should be the nominee of our party. and again, mitt romney lost twice. if he was the smartest guy in the room and he had all the answers, why did he lose twice? i found the speech enormously elitist and offensive. basically telling millions of americans you're not smart enough to know who's best to run the party, not smart enough to know what to do in the ballot box and i think backfires against an establishment. it was insulting just like the 47% comment was very insulting and so i don't think this is going to hurt donald trump one bit. >> yeah. who's going to win? we have tomorrow. kansas, kentucky, louisiana, maine, nebraska? trump? up in louisiana for sure. >> yeah. y
