side tid cruz had such a good saturday by winning big in two states and keeping it close with ronald trumptwo other states. on the republican side, what you have is the race narrowing. really between donald trump and ted cruz as the two that are starting to pull away from the rest of the pack. the rest of the pack being marco rubio and governor john kasich. on the democratic side, bernie sanders is going to get momentum. hillae clinton won louisiana so at the end of the day, she actually won more delegates than bernie sanders did. that's the way it breaks down with the whole delegate count the former u.s. first lady nancy reagan has died. what else can you tell us? >> that's right. the ronald reagan library has confirmed in the last half hour so that former first lady nancy reagan has died in her home in southern california. she was 94 years old. by all accounts, she died of natural causes. she was frail and had been having failing health in recent years. she hasn't come out and made many public appearances in recent years as well. nancy reagan for many decades here in the united states wa

ronald trump leads the overall -- donald trump leads the overall delegate race. , among the serious racesat are you most connected to? mark: i will see how well donald in arizona. i suspect he will do well. if ted cruz does well, it will show that he can take trump on on immigration. the big state is utah. ted cruz is facing the john kasich problem there. a lot of people believe if you vote for john kasich you are helping trump. if cruz gets over 50%, he can effectively make the argument, please marginalize john kasich and help me defeat donald trump. he could also say if john kasich wasn't in this race, i would have gotten over 50%. what about on the democratic side? is now taken for granted, i think, that bernie sanders is going to win idaho and utah. the question is arizona. bernie sanders has spent a lot of time and money on that state. if he were to pull off a victory in arizona, a three state sweep going into a bunch of western caucuses this weekend, he could win six in a row. that would be an nice run of momentum for bernie sanders, trying to get off the mat since last tuesday. , b

sahil: the clinton campaign has clearly taken note of the fact that not only ronald trump, but their bernie sanders keeps hammering on the issue of trade. it's a vulnerability for hillary clinton because she was supported as secretary of state in 2012. afta went into effect when her husband was president. her counter argument is an attempt to have a more rational view that we need to adjust the incentives in the tax code to make it harder for american companies to move jobs overseas and give them incentive to keep them here at home. it's very different from donald trump's method, which is i'm going to kick the table over. it's more of a pragmatic, sober minded initiative. david: thank you so much. that is bloomberg politics. don't miss "with all due eastern time.00 the s&p falling for a fourth straight day. leading thenancials decline. julie hyman has the latest in today's spider sector report. thee: we are looking at financial slider etf, falling by nearly 1%. there appears to be a lot of trepidation going into earning season. many of the banks are set to report and a couple weeks.

[laughter]. >> thomas: maybe if you're a lemming trying to run off a cliff. i think trump, in many ways, is the anti-reagan. >> evan: how's that? >> thomas: i think he is a person of very few fixed political beliefs. reagan's beliefs did evolve and he did know how to compromise. but the things that -- there were certain verities that he held very firmly to. and i also think he was a gentlemen. and that's not a word -- >> evan: you don't think donald's not really? you don't think donald trump is a gentlemen? >> thomas: i mean, i'm really aghast at the little pout and the, you know, my numbers are huge. i mean, who can listen to this for very long? i am the worst prognosticator, politically, on the planet. >> evan: right. >> thomas: so, you know, so i fear what i'm about to say, because the opposite will come true. i mean, i think that this has got to -- >> evan: at some point -- >> thomas: -- give at some point, before january. >> evan: although we've been saying this for months. well

trump they only dismissed him for his attitude. peep like his attitude, american conservatism works acknowledge we want a new ronald reagan, someone can communicate. donald trump is the furthest from him. i like the reasoning, someone who has been a philanderer, be to encourage bad behavior, wide openly admit it, is this the type of person you want? defawded peopldefrauded people r school. we have one candidate, donald trump who has actually put people in a position with student loans with nothing in value in return. is that the type of person we want representing our party? >> john i'm wondering if there's a middle-ground scenario where people look at trump's lack of specific ideology. and say well, here's a guy who's malleable, who's moldable, who changes whenever he sees it's intishes texpeditious to change. let's lawyer him up and try to work with this guy? >> i think that's the only action. i don't know if you can beat donald trump beforehand. a strategy of containment, contain his impulses, have a good vice president, a good group of advisors, something you work up at the convention. i get what you're saying, ray, he's somebo

my position has non changed, trump said. like ronald reagan, i'm pro life with exceptions. e done. not only did trump's rivals slam him. he united both sides of the hot button issue. something you hardly ever see in politics. boris and christine. >> republicans and democrats had a field day responding to the swiftly changing trump position. let's break this all down with josh rogin. he is back with us. josh, three positions on abortion in three hours. it almost appeared ashis is a subject he had not thought that deeply on. that's the appearance. he really had trouble finding out what does donald trump believe about abortion. what do you know about that at this point? >> what you are pointing at is what a lot of profession aals a talking about. when you have 17 people in the field, you have one answer. now he is getting to the third or fourth follow-up and he is not prepared. that was plausible six months ago, but late march, people think he should have answers. he should have policies. he should know these things inside and out. it doesn't seem like he studied up. we saw thi

i think i see a parallel between donald trump and ronald reagan. a lot of people are saying that donald trump is shallow, not smart, a phony, but ronald reagan was also seen as a likeow person by his peers nixon. .e saw him is not as bright and ronald reagan became one of the best presidents of the united states. also, i see a parallel on donald i had selected donald trump because he feels are pain by the established republicans, john mcconnell, and i hope paul ryan does not turn out to be one of them. host: all right, we have information out there. guest: as i said earlier, ronald reagan made a career out of being underestimated, and we do not know yet whether that is a parallel that will carry. isay, i suspect the caller not alone. i think there are a lot of people who probably are trump supporters who feel the same way. ronald reagan's historical significance is that he was a real figure, a transformative president for these 30 years of american politics after reagan. you could argue there was an age of reagan. as [indiscernible] is the great pot

trump's updated statement, "like ronald reagan, i am pro-life with exceptions." withn: 7 on your side health matters and new information about the so-called abortion pill. the fda is allowing that drug to be taken later in pregnancy, with fewer doctor visits. this undermines some state laws aimed at restricting medical abortions. has been deemed safe and effective at terminating a pregnancy. leon: metro riders may need to brace for more shutdowns. today, a summit to talk about safety and efficiency. metro board chair jack evans told abc 7 back to down again. any decision on that will come from the general manager. he has previously said he would not rule that out. alison: upgrades to the 911 system in the city of alexandria , and now you can text as well as call 911. it is designed for people who may have a disability or think that making a voice call may put them in greater danger. 911,tter how you contact you should describe your location and the nature of the emergency. leon: still ahead -- a scary up session, a house for sale. a home supposedly watched by a l
