on the left that's bernie sanders. on the right, that's donald trump. that's why you're seeing trump do as well as he's doing and why bernie sanders is continuing to be a thorn in the side of hillary clinton's campaign, especially because she is perceived as being so close to wall street, part of the establishment. >> the trump response to that carrier story is that he would immediately slap a 35% tariff on carrier air conditioners coming into the country, which almost every expert says would cause a trade war and wind up in international courts. >> last night donald trump did an extraordinary thing last night, he didn't hold a victory rally, he held a victory news conference/statement/product placement moment infomercial. >> what was that. >> let's play some sound from tha that. >> we have trump steaks. if you want to take one, it's about 50 bucks a steak. he said trump magazine is out. anyone want one? you have the water. you have the airline that i sold. every once in a while you can sell something. >> i have no idea what that was or why that was. wha

bernie sanders wants to end the night with that. bernie sanders blue in the midwest, even if it's by a couple hundred votes, even if it's a delegate split, that would be a huge moral victory with bernie sanders. hillary clinton will end the night with more delegates because of down here in mississippi. that could be game changer. >> there will be another debate tomorrow night between bernie sanders and hillary clinton. we'll be there for that as well. much more when we come back. ♪ america, let's take a break from politics this month. let's have a few bud lights and focus on what unites us all. three weeks of non-stop basketball. yes! no! enough attack ads and name calling... yes, that was a foul you jerkface! yes! i am totally blind. i lost my sight in afghanistan. if you're totally blind, you may also be struggling with non-24. calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com. i'm in charge of it all. business expenses, so i've been snapping photos of my receipts and keeping track of them in quickbooks. now i'm on top of my expenses, an

nbc news can project bernie sanders the winner. we've got three states we're watching for votes and one now is in with a projected victory for bernie sanders. that is the news here. what we're going to do is take a quick break and come back on the other side. you're watching msnbc, the place for politics. >>> you're watching msnbc live 5:30 on the east coast and we have a projected winner in today's caucus in alaska. bernie sanders. nbc projects the winner of the alaska caucus, 20 delegates up for grabs there, six already awarded, more to come potentially. we're also watching washington state where folks have been going to the caucus today. it is too early to call but we can show you bernie sanders with a big lead, only 5% in, but 74% of those going for bernie sanders inspect washington state where he held that big 15,000 person rally last night. we're going to be watching all of this as we get these returns in right now on what is another democratic election day. we have a big panel with us here on set. i have joy reed, michelle go

will win the alaska democratic caucuses. bernie sandersfrom vermont will have a margin of victory very sizable over hillary clinton and will be the winner of the alaska democratic caucuses. kate. >> thanks so much. bernie sanders winning alaska, surprise reaction? >> nothing -- >> he has a real constituency, he advanced beyond that beachhead he started. other candidates got stuck on, never got past that white collar whites and young people. he has built a real stitcy. it is not yaet majority. that the point in the primary it's usually you can run a computer simulation than going to the states. in the past they follow the patterns and unless he breaks those she still has the upper hand in the biggest prizes on the board. >> i think this is sort of coming out for the progressive wing of the democratic party in a way we haven't seen before. this wasn't the way 2008 was, obama and hillary clinton were essentially moderate democrats, cut from the doc cloth. >> also millennials. >> going forward with bernie sanders doesn't win, you mention that

and the final vote was 84-16 in favor of sanders. what was most interesting is we allowed people not to vote but to give reasons, the reasons are fascinating. the fundamental reason why people are voting for sanders, they want deep change and want somebody to work on the effects of the inequality, whether it's social or economic you're talking about, they want change. >> tonight, when sanders was pressed on the how, at one point a question was asked, he said you're describing the problem, what is the solution? the solution is a political revolution. this is something he said in response to a lot of things. what does that phrase actually mean to you? how do you understand it as a person who is running a statewide race in florida, and if successful is going to go to a body that has sort of a de facto filibuster built in? >> listen, the federal government sends $3 trillion a year, but bernie sanders says the fact we are the richest country in the world, the fact we're the major country in the world that doesn't have health care or sick p

whether we like the theory of it or not. and bernie sanders was in a sense right on the theory from the left point of view saying, we just shouldn't shovel money to all these corporations. it was a fascinating clear difference. >> right. one of the other big new things that happened, a lot of the debates have repetition, but bernie sanders really opening up about his faith, and his family's personal history in ways we had never seen, at least on a national stage before. we're going to play that for you and talk about it with the whole panel right after this break. hey how's it going, hotcakes? hotcakes. this place has hotcakes. so why aren't they selling like hotcakes? with comcast business internet and wifi pro, they could be. just add a customized message to your wifi pro splash page and you'll reach your customers where their eyes are already - on their devices. order up. it's more than just wifi, it can help grow your business. you don't see that every day. introducing wifi pro, wifi that helps grow your business. comcast business. built f

whether we like the theory of it or not. and bernie sanders was in a sense right on the theory from the left point of view saying, we just shouldn't shovel money to all these corporations. it was a fascinating clear difference. >> right. one of the other big new things that happened, a lot of the debates have repetition, but bernie sanders really opening up about his faith, and his family's personal history in ways we had never seen, at least on a national stage before. we're going to play that for you and talk about it with the whole panel right after this break. >>> welcome back to the special coverage of tonight's democratic debate in flint, michigan. i'm excited to get everyone's view basically on one of the standout moments. i mentioned this earlier before the break. bernie sanders is a jewish american. he runs on his policy ideas. he talks a lot of economic inequality. he rarely speaks personally about religion. tonight we heard him speak morist matly about his jewish past than usual. it was a really interesting moment. right at the tail

the matter to rest? >> no. senator sanderseeps raising this because he's looking for another avenue to make the discounted and false attack that she is somehow -- that contributions from wall street or anywhere influence her policy. we have already proven that to not be the case. as a presidential candidate, after the speeches, she's put forward a very strong wall street accountability plan, more effective than what senator sanders has done. we understand what they're trying to do. they are trying to -- it's another way of smearing her integrity. and we're not falling for it. >> jen, thank you very much. ari, i'll toss it back to you. >> we're going to continue our live breaking coverage here looking at the fallout from the big democratic debate in flint, michigan. after the break, we'll speak directly to a representative from the bernie sanders campaign. stay with us. >>> why should people from flint trust that more government is the answer? >> that's a good point, anderson. i suppose they could trust the corporations who hav

the delegates there. this is what's important to bernie sanders, to end the night with this sanders blue, even by the narrowest of margins. next week you have illinois and ohio. bernie sanders wants to send a message, secretary clinton, don't celebrate too soon. very important despite the margins that stay sanders blue because of the important psychological message it would send to his campaign. hillary clinton would like to come back. it's like drawing to an inside straight. >> hohio and missouri with similar demographics. >> this was in the 9:00 hour before the results were quite so clear in michigan, the race was closer there. she was talking a lot about donald trump. let's listen. >> you can't be talking about building walls or turning the clock back. we have to build on what made america great in the first place, our energy and optimism, our openness and creativity. nobody works harder than americans. nobody innovates better. nobody dreams bigger. and if we work together, i know america will outcompete anybody anywhere in the world. >> that was hillary clinton earlier. it's interesting that she chose to c

hear the same. sandersas this national ad that is a very civil breakdown of how money in the political process in america is destroying the political process. it is very compelling and convincing, and folks on the left understand that, specially those a little older who have been experiencing the drift toward the right of the democratic party. sanders is tapping into that energy, but the left and the democratic party are depressed because of that move for the right of because of some disappointments in the obama administration. the great hope that obama cultivated at the top of his candidacy has diminished, unfortunately, over the last two terms based on different policies. we could talk for hours about the minutia of the policies of the obama administration and how that disappointed the left, but that is essentially why you're seeing a depressed turnout on the left and the enhanced turnout on the right. juan: james peterson, i want to turn to the biggest prize last night in the primary, which was texas, th

the voters. t if bernie sanders can win here, this will propel the fight farther. if hillary clinton wins, it will keep her assertion going on strong here. a big day of campaigning in michigan. hillary clinton is campaigning and bernie sanders as well. they scatter to the march 15th states. first, the michigan primary on tuesday. john and christine. >> jeff zeleny, thank you. quite a night. joining us to discuss this is political reporter tom lobianco in the washington bureau. i saw a real conflict on trade. conflict on the auto bailout. i saw them talking about the issues behind how people feel or perception about the economy. do you think they stepped it up a notch talking about substance? >> absolutely. you could hear a lot of the themes and tones. the messages as pointed out. we are getting late in the game here. there is not many chances to change it. you know, that exchange where she interjected and he came back at her and said excuse me i'm talking that lit up twitter. a lot of reaction about that last night. it didn't look good at all for sanders. some the c

that is for sure, for the sanders' campaign. and i heard discussing the politics and baseball stadiums. there's people eating hot dogs topped with every topping you can think of and beer's flowing. it's a very joyous and exciting feel out here. and they're still working to file people in. there are people in tents out on the street so early this morning they were waiting in line to get in and they're still trying to get those people through all of the magma she machines they're to screen people. it will be interesting to see if bernie sanders waits for the crowd or if he comes out before night hits. >> hot dogs are an unsurprising appearance here. it was also, again, i'm going to dig into my seattle memories here. but there was a very famous hot dog thrower who worked at the king dome and would always toss the stuff. but it does go politically to some of the fun people have at the bernie events. we saw where the bird lands and there's a festive atmosphere. >> and now there's beer. >> i would question whether some of that comes fr

the auto bail out. every organization said it wasn't true. bernie sanders opposed the tarp bail out and obama added money to that and bernie sanders did support the auto bail out in the one vote that he had. it gives the idea that there's something dishonest or sneaky about clinton and that was over media for the last 24 hours. that hurt her a lot >>> that raises the importance of the debates and the question becomes marco rubio's attempts to go after donald trump certainly seem to have back fired for him and don't seem to have really hurt donald trump even the attacks on donald trump about his vulgarity in the last debate don't seemed to have hurt him >> it's amazing. he can say the most outlandish things and survives. he is becoming more controversial. he is losing spour among women. slons he has two-- support-- as long as he has the situation as he is in, it goods looks good >>> polls came out and showed tightening. it doesn't seem like donald trump is running away with it completely. >> reporter: there is some remorse. people who vote late in michigan,

enthusiastic for the candidate, bernie sanders gets 40%, hillary clinton gets 34%. this goes to the idea that it's good for the party to keep the race going and for bernie sanders to remain in the race. unlike what's happening in the republican party where they really are tearing each other apart right now, the voters that are with bernie sanders now are so far to the left that they're going to come to hillary clinton. they don't have another place to go. i know we mentioned the green party, but it's not that strong and it's not a place where i think you're going to see democrats go. i think you're going do see the bernie sanders people go to hillary clinton. >> unless they don't vote. >> they're policy differences aren't that far off. >> all along you have been saying that if donald trump -- assuming donald trump is the nominee on the republican side you believe that's going to energyize folks on the democratic size who may not be huge hillary clinton supporters -- >> i think the democrats will have the opportunity to expand the electorate. that's one strategy that

the sequel. just a really surprising plot twist. bernie sanders pretty much out of nowhere, he wins the michigan primary, upset over hillary clinton. now, hillary clinton did win mississippi by a very big margin, and as a result, she did win the most delegates overnight. but bernie sanders, in some ways the big story of the morning. and even before the result was official, bernie sanders said he knew he was having a fantastic night. >> what tonight means is that the bernie sanders' campaign, the people's revolution that we are talking about, the political revolution that we are talking about is strong in every part of the country, and frankly, we believe that our strongest areas are yet to happen. >> let's look at the delegate math as it stands right now. hillary clinton with more than 1200, bernie sanders at 572. this includes super delegates. if you take out the super delegates, hillary clinton leads by more than 200 delegates. again, she did win more delegates overnight. >> for the republicans, some big news. we got to call hawaii. hawaii, the

and hillary clinton faced off for the first time since sandersupset victory in michigan last night shaped the race. the debate hosted by univision centered on immigration issue, a key focus in next week's florida primary. under pressure from co-moderator hooray ramos clinton vowed not to deport undocumented immigrants living in the country who have not committed crimes. >> i do not have the same policy as the current administration does. i will not deport children. i would not deport children. i do not want to deport family members either, jorge. of the undocumented people living in our country i want to see them on a path to citizenship. >> senators likewise broke with the current deportation policies. >> i happen to agree with president obama on many, many issues. i think he's done a great job as president of the united states. he is wrong on this issue of deportation. i disagree with him on that so to answer your question, no, i will not deport children from the united states of america. >> in a remarkable moment, perhaps one of the most we've

the day. she's won 18 contests, sanders 13. when you look at washington state and see he is the destroying her eve though she is the front-runner? why? is it because she is more liberal than the average state? >> what's the reason? >> all of the above. has a history of progressive politics. this has been a state both clintons have had troubles. it is a progressive state and a largely white population. that's a fact as well. it's a progressive population and a traditional democratic base. senator standers outworked her there. that work is producing today. very impressive across the board. >> much like the win barack obama had eight years ago. back after this quick break. why do some cash back cards keep throwing obstacles at you? first - they limit where you earn bonus cash back. then - those places change every few months? i think i'll pass... quicksilver from capital one puts nothing in your way. you simply earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere. you can't dodge the question... what's in your wallet? (vo) y

the world. climate change is real. [cheers and applause] bernie sandershuman activity, and let me tell you what the scientists are telling us. and that is if we do not get our act together in the very near future, we are not going to leave a planet for our kids and grandchildren which is healthy and that is unacceptable. [cheers and applause] bernie sanders: it is literally beyond belief that we have a major political party, the republican party which rejects science, refuses to acknowledge even the reality of climate change. but together, we are going to take on a fossil fuel industry, transform our energy. we can create millions of good paying jobs by moving to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. my republican colleagues run all over the country talking about family values. i want you to know what they mean by family values. what they mean is no woman in this room has the right to control her own body. i disagree. what they mean by family values is that our gay brothers and sisters do not have the right to marry. i disagree. jane and i have been m

state of michigan winning that primary there, barely, but a big win and a psychological victory for the sanders campaign. hillary clinton took mississippi by a lot and she did win the most delegates of the night, but bernie sanders in michigan was huge. even before it was official, bernie sanders called it a fantastic night. >> what tonight means is that the bernie sanders campaign, the people's -- the revolution, the political revolution that we are talking about is strong in every part of the country and frankly we believe that our strongest areas are yet to happen. >> what does this mean for the delegate race? as we said hillary clinton won the most delegates tonight and she leads in that hunt. those numbers right there do

sanders has. that's a fundamental problem. the question that we have is does bernie sanders want to be a part of this coalition movingeing forward? that's my question when he makes conditions upon an endorsement. >> let me speak to that if i can. i think you ought to forget talking about that. i know bernie sanders i think better than anybody on this panel. when i sat in bernie sanders' office in the senate office building the first time he told me he was thinking about run forge president, when he ransat in my living room, he said over and over again i will never be a ralph nader. i will be for the democratic party. i want a democrat to be the next president of the united states. bernie will be part of that coalition. he will encourage his people to be part of that coalition. i think if hillary play it's right, they'll be all behind her. i know i will be 100%. >> hold on one second. we're waiting right now to hear from bernie sanders who will be taking to the stage in madison, wisconsin. we're following all of that coming up. ♪ ♪

turn out every last vote you can to keep the sanders victory down and the delegate math in your farcherlary clinton. >> why bernie sanders went to south carolina at one point to keep the margins as slim as possible. >> look at the map so r. the more defense the electorate she's done very well. wisconsin, expects the african-american community to help her and pennsylvania, indiana, back into an area, these states so critical to then senator obama helping him bad his delegate lead back here. you see secretary clinton. sanders understands looking at the 2008 map, coming back into what should be her wheelhouse. he needs big margins today. >> it's all about margins, kate bolduan. >> i say that all the tile. to the magic panels here with me now. and talking about -- talking about the delegates. hillary clinton, she's got a big lead in the delegates. no question. she'll pick up more today. still, losing three states is losing three states. >> in some ways calling this western saturday. in some ways sanders saturday. >> they like the sound of that. >> these seats are tailor-made for him. think

the bernie sanders victories in those three states were expected heading into those contests but the margins by which he won many those states, those were very impressive. senator sanders won by 64 points in alaska. i don't mean he got 64% of the vote, i mean he got a 64-point margin of victory. senator sanders had margin of victory in hawaii of 40 points. in washington state the margin of victory was 46 points. those were absolutely massive wins for him this weekend. no sides, no states on the democratic side are winner take off, but when you win by margins that big, it ends up being winner take most in terms of the delegates. the overall delegate haul for this past weekend, it looks like he pulled in roughly 55 pledge delegates. secretary clinton pulled in only 20 pledge delegates. that's just the pledge delegates. leave aside the issue of the super delegates. that's a whole different discussion. looks like senator sanders cut into the pledge lead by about 35, give or take. here's how that delegate race looks overall in perspective. as you can see, a change of 35 delegates one direc

did, but the flip side of this is had bernie sanders michigan and certainly had he lost by what the polls said he was going to, people would be talking about his campaign being over. >> that's absolutely right. first of all, i think it's important like alex said to take a step back and breathe for a second. hillary clinton remains the front-runner. she picked up more delegates tonight. she's certainly poised to take the democratic nomination. the map favors her in a big way. she's obviously got huge numbers going into florida and that's going to be a boon for her. you look at how this race has played out. sanders gets huge momentum after new hampshire, but then we go into nevada and south carolina. now sanders has renewed momentum, but how can he do in ohio. he's still trailing by double digits, but the polls had her trailing her in michigan. but your point is right that by winning michigan he has reset the narrative not about what he can achieve in the primary process, but about the red flags that should be going off for the hillary cl

michigan primary will be a test for the sanders campaign. can he win in a state with a more diverse population? for clinton it is a chance to rack up more delegates as they move closer to locking up the nomination. our senior correspondent jeff zeleny and joe johns has been covering the candidates. wa are you hearing from clinton on the campaign trail today? what's her mess age. >> senator clinton is campaigning in grand rapids, michigan. at this hour she was touring a manufacturing plant earlier and will be making her way to detroit later today. her message is one we heard last night talking about the economy, about how she has plans for the future. she really is pointing out that she has real solutions. her plans last night at the debate were more detailed than bernie sanders plans. he kept coming back to wall street and her campaign believes that's why he is a single issue candidate. there is something playing on the radio in michigan that picks up where she left off last night. that is on the auto bailout. let's listen to a bit of that ne

so that's the challenge for the sanders campaign at this point. wolf? >> it's also increasingly more difficult because she has all those so-called superdelegates as well. jeff zeleny in cleveland with the hillary clinton campaign. you know, candana, david, a bign for hillary clinton in mississippi. continues her sweep in the south. very impressive. we're going it see what happens in michigan. >> before we say anything else, that was impressive what jeff zeleny did, you could hear his voice, blasting behind him, it was a minute delay, he was talks to us and his own voice blasting and everybody cheering. i've been there. that was quite impressive. back to the results. the fact, as wolf just said, hillary clinton continues to do well, not just in the south but in states that have a very high african-american population, and berni bernie sanders tonight but he's not done well there and better in areas that are white. there's such a racial divide between the two candidates. >> there is, dana, and here's what's so important about how it relates to the delegate

the arizona primary. she's got 60.3%. bernie sanders 37.1%. side donald trump wins big. 63% of the vote is in. he's way ahead of ted cruz. 46.3% to 22.3%. john kasich down at 10%. arizona is a winner state all. he gets all 58 delegates in the state of arizona. i want to go over to sara murray. you have new information? what where you learning? >> reporter: that's right. arizona was a very big state for donald trump, but as we move to utah this is tougher territory and political experts tell me that trump's brand of politics does not play well in utah. when i spoke to the head of the utah republican party he was cautious about making predictions, but he felt like he gave the edge to ted cruz going into tonight. he said i think utahans are sensitive to a person's style and modesty goes a long way mere. this is a guy who was heckled when he visited one of trump's events last week and when donald trump was speaking about this a couple of days ago he said utah is a state he feels fine about. he's not expecting to win there. so the best they can hope

democrats on the campaign trail next hour. bernie sandersin wisconsin where he battled hillary clinton next tuesday. secretary clinton is in harlem as she focuses on new york, the next major battle for democrats. both campaigns covered for you this morning. kasie hunt in madison, wisconsin. kristen welker in harlem. good morning. kristen, let me start with you. live at the apollo. >> hey, jose. good morning to you. that's right. new york is becoming a big battleground with senator sanders looking very strong in wisconsin. the clinton campaign really needs to win here. polls show her with a double-digit lead. still, senator sanders says he's ready to make a play for the state. he was born here. of course, secretary clinton served two terms as senator here in new york, so she of course has a lot of ties. in an ad she will be releasing, the first in new york, it's not senator sanders who she's taking aim at. instead, it's donald trump. again, another sign that she's pivoting toward the general election. now, in this ad, she doesn't mention trum

the lead" now. next, michigan is a key state for bernie sanders tonight. oses the state, is there a path forward for him in 2016? >>> and the clinton campaign unleashed the big dog today. >> we can rise together, therefore, clearly, we ought to vote for president for the best change maker i have ever known. be there next week and you'll never be sorry. alzheimer's means... so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to her current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. (announcer) namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have, or ever had a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine, liver, kidney, or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical c

the timing of your endorsement is a real boost to senator sanders. but the thing that's going on right now in the democratic primary is that senator sanders, despite all the money that he's got and the big crowds that he turns out and the big appeal of his message, he's done so much better than peek expected at the start of this campaign web didn't contest every state tonight effectively on super tuesday. there were 11 states at stake tonight. he only really competed for about five of them pep ran a few ads in tt texas, but that was it. is senator sanders trying to win if there are whole areas of the country in which he's not running? >> i'm going leave the political punditry and analysis to you folks and others. i know from my conversations with senator sanders that he believes deeply in the mission he has embarked on. he understands, as i do, how much is at stake for our country and how many is at stake for our next generation and our future. obviously, it's a very tough race, but it's important pore this message together out there that for on these

sanders won. and you know what, the two victories highlight their weaknesses. bernie sanders struggles with african-americans, connecting with african-americans, particularly in the south, and that is going to -- you know, if she ends up the nominee, that will be why we will talk about that. but her weakness is with these voters who feel as if they've been left behind in this economy. >> yeah, and it is because she's answering for clintonomics? >> because she's answering for the establishment. she's answering for the sort of mainstream -- look, the democratic party has been split on trade for a long time, and the clinton brand, and frankly, obama, too, which she has tied herself to, is on the minority within the democratic party. >> donald trump tonight made an explicit case that he can take those votes, that he can win -- he can put those states in play -- >> he said he can win michigan in the general election. >> and that's why i think that, you know, the combination of the sanders victory in michigan and the trump victory in michigan, that's potentially reall

the 1%! [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting "bernie"] bernie sanders: and we are going to tell the billionaires corporate america that they are going to have to start paying their fair share of taxes. [cheers and applause] bernie sanders: and when we talk about a rigged economy, we are going to end the absurdity of millions of our people working for $8 or $9 and hour because you cannot make it on $8 or $9. [cheers and applause] bernie sanders: that is why we are going to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, $15 an hour! [cheers and applause] bernie sanders: and when we talk about a rigged economy, we are going to end the absurdity of women making $.79 on the dollar for the men. [cheers and applause] bernie sanders: and i know that every man in this room will stand with the women in the fight for pay equality. [cheers and applause] bernie sanders: a few weeks ago, i was in flint, michigan. and what i observed there and what i heard there was literally beyond my comprehension, and it shook me and upset me enormously. what i observed there is that children in that city were being poisoned by a

the results with 97% of the votes counted. sanders50% and clinton at 48.8%. the fact that sanders won is a big victory for him and it goes to show that hillary clinton who has been lohoping to focus on t general election, she's not able to put away the nomination quite yet. >> not at all. it shows bernie sanders can compete in areas that aren't connected to vermont, it shows that bernie sanders can compete in states that have an african-american population. it changes a little bit of the game even though hillary clinton absolutely did win more delegates tonight because she had that win in mississippi. talk about the republicans tonight because michigan and mi mississippi, two states not close to each other and donald trump winning them. >> showing he can win across regional lines and win different kinds of people. folks in mississippi, traditional sort of southern stated and then in michigan where he sought to win over blue collar working class republicans and cruz pulling off his seventh win in idaho and we are waiting for results to

the sanders campaign expecting to do well in the democratic caucus in maine. that's another example of a home area state that of course has these demographics that are favorable to bernie sanders. in many ways, he's kept on pace for where things stand. if sanders really wants to change the dynamic, and both sides of this campaign know this, he has to start winning in some of these bigger states. and that starts here in michigan, and it's very clear that the sanders campaign and the clinton campaign know how important this state could be. for clinton, if she is able to win in a big way, it could in many ways send a signal that she's going to put sanders away on march 15th in states like illinois, like ohio. these bigger states with a lot of white working class voters who are very unhappy with how this economy has treated them over the course of the past few years. and for sanders, the stakes in michigan are high because if he does in fact, if he's able to close the gap with her, he could show that he will put himself back on the map. of course, the challenge fo

i said from the beginning that bernie sanders earned the right to stay in this race for as long as held be able to go to june and will go to june. >> but a question on that. i think this has been interesting, it's in the last 24 hours, of course the conversation is hillary clinton doesn't only need to win over bernie sanders supporters, she needs to win over bernie sanders as well. on that, bernie sanders just did an interview almost sounded like he was putting conditions on an endorsement. what do you make of this? >> i make is bernie is in it to win it. june 3, june 3, that's when barack obama wrapped up enough delegates in 200 it a and hillary stayed in to that point. we are march 26. this is a long way to go. no hurry. and i think bernie is playing for everything it's worth and that's what he ought to be doing. >> but can i -- >> go ahead. >> which i don't want to lose track of the forest for the trees, i think worth pointing out, here is a guy came out of nowhere a year ago. nobody knew who the hell he was. he won 12 states, probably three tonight. he has over 900 delegates, rais

at the same time, bernie sanders incredibly appealing. he was back to being the cuddly curmudgeon as opposed to the cutting curmudgeon from the last debate. really, i think, was able to bring to a different audience the same sensibility and energy. and you saw the response from the crowd. i think both of them had very strong nights. hillary clinton got punched and punched and punched and punched. yeah, she was annoyed. anybody would have been annoyed. i think she handed herself very well under that much pressure. the last thing i want to say about bernie sanders, one of the things about him that people love, he is an unapologetic leftist. he did not back down back in the 80s, there was a big chunk of the american left, very mad at reagan for his military adventures in latin america and who were opposed to the interventions. he did not back down from that. that makes him incredibly authentic. it also would be tough for him i believe in a general election. it was the first time you saw him have the opportunity to back away from those positio

hillary clinton has won the mississippi. bernie sanders is holding a lead in a race that is too close. on the republican donald trump was the big winner in both. david shut terror joins us with the-- shuster joins us. >> reporter: all of those attacks on donald trump, where they have come from, they have done nothing to his march. he has 14 state contests. contest number 13 was in the state of michigan. the big prize donald trump will walk away with 21 delegates. he has a margin of victory wider over john kasich than a lot of people had anticipated. again, a decisive win for him in the industrial mid-west. he also got a big victim free in mississippi. there are more votes to be counted but it would suggest that he reached about 50% for the first time in this nomination contest, over 50% there and this would suggest that trump's feeling continues to get higher not loe as the republican establishment has been trying to argue. let's turn to the democrats. hillary clinton, well, she has another victory for her in the south 83 to 15 for her. sh

clinton in the michigan primary. sanders won 50% of the vote to clinton's 48%. opinion polls had projected clinton would easily win the state by as much as 20%. late last night pollster nate , silver wrote that michigan would "count as among the greatest polling errors in primary history." despite sanders' upset in michigan, hillary clinton ended up winning more delegates on tuesday thanks to a lopsided win in mississippi where she won 83% of the vote. sanders gave an impromptu news conference outside a hotel in miami last night. >> and what tonight means is that the bernie sanders campaign , the people's revolution that we're talking about, the political revolution that we're talking about, is a strong and every part of the country. frankly, we believe that our strongest areas are yet to happen. amy: sanders did not know yet that he had won the michigan primary when he spoke. on the republican side, donald trump won hawaii, michigan and mississippi, while texas senator ted cruz won idaho. florida senator marco rubio did not

the republican side. front-runner donald trump and democrat bernie sanders used the sunday morning talk shows today to take swipes at one another. at issue, trump claims that sanders camp is responsible for escalating violence and protests at trump rallies over the weeke weekend. bernie sanders puts the blame squarely on trump's shoulders. these guys aren't even running against each other yet. friday night, such chaos. there was a lot of protesting at the event last night at trump's rally in kansas city, missouri. what is it like tonight ahead of trump taking the stage? >> that's right, poppy. this rally here in boca is more tame. we did see a handful of protesters outside but there was nothing particularly physical and cops were monitoring it closely. here a couple of protesters were escorted from inside the event. but not big groups like places like chicago and places like kansas city. it does seem more tame here tonight, poppy. >> what is the main message from trump when he takes the stage tonight? he could respond to the protesters who rushed him on stage in ohio yesterday. that just talked to our mart

john: he is the bernie sanders of the republican party. mark: is senator sanders running as good or a better campaign as you? better than him? amanda: id o. when you look at what our coalition looks like and how we're bringing the democratic party together, we are going to continue to expand on that in different demographics, including the young vote. including making sure that women stay on board. when you look at the coalition of the democratic party and size that up against what is going on on the republican side, i think your path to victory is making sure we have a bigger tent. that is what the democratic party is all about. john: one thing that i'm still struck by, a went to two sanders events where 10,000 peop showed up. in respect to hillary clinton, knows more than she sees in a week. what accounts for -- even as the media is telling democratic voters that the delegate lead is insurmountable, why does bernie sanders continue to inspire that passion well hillary clinton does not based on crowd size? amanda: we're going to make sure

sanders, huge wins over the weekend. ey don't want there to be another state where sanders gets a big w. al: i agree. i think they are more confident than they were a week ago. what i hear is very close out there. she cannot get beaten by 10 or 12 points in wisconsin by bernie sanders. mark: if you take the clinton folks at their word, despite limited public polling showing clinton a head, they are saying this will be a sanders stay. the demographics layout well for him. if you look at the history of people who have done well, like jesse jackson, it should be a sanders state. al: today, the clinton campaign was dealt a double whammy on that old e-mail story. federal prosecutors are setting up interviews with members of clinton staff and possibly clinton herself. the washington post adds that in 2009, they were apparently not told that clinton's phone was not tied to her private e-mail center. what is the worst-case scenario for secretary clinton on the e-mail front? mark: there is no indication there is a grand jury. clin

the other 76% in, when bernie sanders started to speak he referenced the lead but did not state of course that he had won washington state because it had not been official yet. but we project that bernie sanders, the winner of the democratic caucus here this everything. what we'll do is turn back to the victory speech in wisconsin. we'll return to that in regular order and we'll have more live coverage when he finishes. >>> the last cnn poll had hillary clinton beating donald trump. she beat him by 12, we beat him by 20 points. and that is true in virtually all the national polls and in many of the state polls as well. and here is a simple truth. and an important truth. hillary clinton and i agree, that it is absolutely imperative that no republican make it to the oval office. >>> and the evidence is quite clear. not only in terms of the polling that we've seen, polls go up and down. but one of our campaigns has created an enormous amount of enthusiasm and energy that will lead to a large voter turnout in november. that campaign is our campaign! now, here is a well known political truth.

majority of the 38 will go to bernie sanders. keep in mind, watch the margins that hillary clinton was able to pull down in the south. the biggest prize of the night, 67 to 30; in other words, 222 delegates and hillary clinton will get most of them but two out of every three. a much bigger spread than bernie sanders was hoping for. georgia, another win for hillary clinton there, 71 to 28. exit polls found that hillary clinton took four out of every five african-american voters. that explains the huge spread in georgia. alabama a, 78 to 18. it underscores that bernie sanders is not able to break through. that is why the delegate count in alabama will be a large spread. tennessee hillary clinton walking away with 66 to 32. keep in mind these 30 point margins mean a significant amount of delegates. virginia, this was a race that bernie sanders thought he might be able to stay close, but hillary clinton is walking away with the majority of delegates in the state of virginia. that is 20 to 25 points not the margin bernie sanders was co

in missouri where it is too close to call, the bernie sanders drastically outspent the hillary clinton campaign in missouri and it's a big difference. sanders spent about $1.4 million on ads. so that was part of the reason the sanders campaign has been confident i think particularly about missouri is that they tried so hard there. again at this point it's still too close to call. turning now to the republican race, one of the reporters for "the washington post" who has been invaluable to our national understanding of what's going on, particularly on the republican side of the race this year is robert costa. he has a story for "the washington post" tomorrow morning. i understand it's based on conversations you've had with the three remaining candidates. >> we've dived deep into what's going on in the republican race. it's a three-way race and it's setting up a battle. all the campaigns are counting their delegates and wondering where they can pick their spots. >> in terms of the delegate approach of these candidates, you're a veteran and we've never had what looks like might be the cont

this is an era of the head, not the heart. >> gloria, serge sanders' supporters see this as the clintonpaign trying to push any issue forward on this day to kind of continue this conversation because any of this conversation hurts sanders. >> well, particularly on the issue of the bailout. you know, the detroit bailout. i mean, i didn't know where that came from when i was listening to the debate last night. what? bernie sanders voted -- and they are smart. they put it in their back pocket because it was part of a larger bill that he opposed which was a bailout for wall street. and they were ready to pounce in michigan on detroit. that's a good campaign. it's cherry picking. and the sanders campaign would say it's deceitful, very nuanced and very complicated. >> when you say things -- >> but it was smart. >> the sanders campaign, they are mad. she took what he said and made a radio ad again. okay. if she said something they could make a radio ad again, they would do it. if you distort his words, you have a right to be mad. if you are using his words. those are his words. i agree with th

colorado another state where the sanders campaign thinks it can win. say he's right there. oklahoma, the other fourth big target for sanders on super tuesday. so let's assume sanders succeeds in all four of his top targets, right? even then, hillary clinton begins to pull away, but the democratic rules are digfferent. sanders keeps it relatively close. massachusetts another place to watch. the sanders campaign thinking it can win. making a late charge there. that can be iffy. here's the math. hillary clinton likely to over 540, the number of delegates you win on primary caucus day. the democratic race, there's this, you have to factor in now, she has, secretary clinton, nearly 500. 48 468. what she's hoping to say by the end of the night, anderson, bernie sanders i'm beating you in pledge delegates, whopping lead among superdelegates, almost to the halfway mark in the democratic race. hillary clinton hoping super tuesday is a giant statement for her especially because of her support across the south with african-american and in texas latino voters as w
