donald trump and tom ted ted cruz says he opposes it. hillary clinton and bernie sanders says they oppose it. john kasich says he supported the tpp but is not spoken out on it recently. when you look at the potential benefits for manufacturing, they are pretty limited as that of the high-tech center. even the analysis that is used by the administration to make tpp is anor the analysis that has been done by the peterson center for economics. their estimate is that there might be some modest positive benefits for the overall global economy. it is very modest. for manufacturing specifically, they estimate that the tpp would increase our manufacturing trade billion andbout $55 the estimate is going up. it would cost 20 to 30,000 manufacturing jobs. other countries have mercantile policies that lie outside trade agreements. it would make it difficult for us to export an easy for them to import. we would lose a lot of manufacturing jobs so the question is, is this worse for there is aursuing tiny economic benefit that are pretty big challenge

tom: ted cruz focusing on leading donald trump in critical upcoming primaries. ted cruz speaking at the pennsylvania leadership conference. >> two polls in a row have come out showing us leading in wisconsin by ten points. a report came out of the state of colorado, shows us leading donald trump by 23 points. just yesterday, the political prediction site predicted our campaign is likely to win the primary in the state of california. tom: well, ted cruz also stated that nominating trump would lead to, quote, a mondale-level bloodbath. mondale, a little history here, he lost 49 states in the 1984 election to ronald reagan. joining me arizona state treasurer and the head of the trump campaign in arizona, jeff dewit. jeff, what do you make of -- did you just hear ted cruz and the comments there about the fact he's going to win colorado, he's going to win california, he's going to win wisconsin? what do your polls show? >> we have very different -- well, every poll i've seen, i've never seen a poll he leads in california. the last poll showed mr. trump at 37 and ted cruz

tom foley. >> in the case of lying ted cruz, lying ted, lies, oh, he lies. >> reporter: so much for the change in tone. donald trump is back on the war path. >> i'm about 300 delegates ahead of lying ted. >> reporter: hammering home his nickname for his nearest challenger for the gop crown, senator ted cruz, it is the donald trump we've seen for months. >> i call him lying ted. remember lying ted cruz. lying ted. i'm donald trump, i approved this message. >> the politicians can pretend it is something else, but donald trump calls it radical islamic terrorism. >> from the beginning trump said he is just telling it like it is. he slammed marco rubio for his height and for sweating. >> you have this clown, marco rubio, i call him little marco. little marco. it's rubio. >> reporter: he ridiculed carly fiorina's looks, chris christie's relations with the white house, and mocked pretty much everything about jeb bush. >> this guy can't negotiate his way out of a paper bag. >> reporter: the list goes on. after his loss in wisconsin, some of his inner circle thought the scorching rhetoric may have play

tom: donald trump today in delaware dismissing ted cruz, and he's turning his attention to hillary clinton. >> lyin' tedruz. look, it doesn't work. first of all, she would beat him so badly, he'd lose so many states, there's no chance. look at what happened to him just this week. he lost to kasich! cruz came in third! i will win new york against hillary clinton. i think i'm going to win new york. and i'll win michigan, and i'll win pennsylvania. [ cheers ] >> and, of course, delaware, but we know that, right? [ cheers ] >> and i'll win florida! >> in time, delaware is one of the five key states holding their primary next tuesday. joining me townhall.com political editor and fox news contributor guy benson, and staff writer for "the washington free beacon" elizabeth harrington. let's start with the "fox news poll"s that are out. now the california, for heaven's sake, guy, start with you, i'm an old californian, i find that to be pretty amazing, what do you think? >> really good poll numbers for donald trump coming out from fox news. both in california, 27-point lead for donald trump, lapping the field, a

tom roussey is live in the newsroom with all the numbers. i talked with a political expert tonight who says these results are big, especially on the republican side for ted cruz. here is video of ted cruz in wisconsin. despite what we just heard, it will be tough for him to get to the 1237 he would need to clinch the nomination, but the victory tonight makes that very difficult for donald trumpo vote is coalescing around ted cruz, and a george washington professor says that will get tough on trump from here. >> he likes to talk about big wins, but this looks like a big defeat. it will be hard for him to spin this idea he is uniting the party, bringing the party together. if anything, it's going in the exact opposite direction. democratic side, definitely looking like a big victory for bernie sanders as well in wisconsin. that said, as far as him catching hillary clinton in delegates, the math is difficult. he would have to do very well from here on out, although it is not impossible. regardless, this makes life for hillary clinton tough as well as guess you cannot concentrate on what she would like to be concentrating on. >> hillary clinton's campaign i'm sure about now would love

ted. and the trump campaign also accused cruz of illegally coordinating with super pacs. it's your voice, your vote. abc's tom llamas has more from milwaukee. >> reporter: seeksitiment and jubilation here at the senator ted cruz watch party in milwaukee, wisconsin, a huge night for the texas senator and a huge loss for donald trump. with this victory, cruz makes the argument that he can take this race possibly all the way to the convention floor. >> either before cleveland or at the convention in cleveland, together, we will win a majority of the delegates and together, we will beat hillary clinton in [ applause ] >> reporter: donald trump said he had felt good about wisconsin. oh had campaigned very hard in the last few days here in this midwest battleground state. >> the people of wisconsin are amazing. they want to see strong borders. they don't want other countries taking all their jobs and manufacturing. >> reporter: he also said there would be a surprise but there was no surprise. cruz won just like the preelection polls showed he would. now cruz just told me that the message he has for donald trump is really not his message. it's the message of the wisconsin voters that this race is far from over. back to you. >> our thanks to tom in wisconsin. bernie sanders must still get 67% of the remaining delegates and uncommitted super delegates to win the nomination. he's hoping to ride the wave of momentum all the way to the convention. >> sanders celebrated his win at a raucous rally in wyoming ahead of saturday's democratic caucus. abc's maryalice parks covers the >> reporter: it was a celebration tonight for bernie sanders and his campaign at the university here in laramie, wyoming. the senator started announcing his win in wisconsin, thanking fans for victory there. but then he pivoted back here to wyoming and said that the state here could give him a boost going into new york in a few weeks. >> we have won almost all of them with overwhelming landslide numbers. >> reporter: sanders' win in wugs which is obviously giving him the momentum. here's what he said about that. >> what momentum is about is that at a time in contemporary politics when every major candidate has a super pac, we have said no to super pacs, said no to the billionaires who fund those super pacs. >> reporter: sanders talked about his record-breaking number of small donations and pointed to polls that have him defeating donald tru >> when you look at national polls or you look at statewide polls, we are defeating donald trump by very significant numbers. defeating donald trump by very significant >> reporter: sanders said he thought clinton was getting nervous because he believe ez has an excellent chance to win both here in wyoming and he said in new york. reena, kendis. >> our thanks there. >>> and hillary clinton spent last night in her home state of new york looking ahead to the next big primary. >> but clinton tweeted her congratulations to sanders and thanked her supporters in wisconsin. abc's liz kreutz covers the clinton campaign for us. good morning, liz. >> reporter: good morning. hillary clinton's campaign expected this loss in wisconsin but it doesn't make it any better. she has now lost six out of the last seven contests. that's something her campaign aides are quickly trying to move on from. in fact, last night, clinton didn't even have a campaign event and said she attended a private york. earlier in the day, she held a town hall in brooklyn where she made no mention of wisconsin but did go after her potential future opponent, donald trump. >> the fellow who's from new york, i wish he would get out of one of his towers and actually walk the streets and spend time with the people of this city because peddlining prejudice and paranoia is not the new york way. >> and she now has her sights on the upcoming primary in new york. she and sanders have finally agreed to debate in brooklyn next week. that's a place with close ties to both of them. it's where clinton's campaign headquarters were based and where sanders was born. >> our thanks to liz. exit polls show that the economy is weighing heavily on the voters from both parties. >> nearly 3/4 of democrats said they were worried about the economy. that's compared to nine in ten republicans. and 30% of wisconsin voters across the board named the economy an top problem. >> moving on now, investigators searching for the cause of the helicopter crash in tennessee say the aircraft may have come into contact with the top of a ridge on the side of a mountain. four passengers and the pilot died when the chopper crashed and burned. the fact there's not much left of the helicopter complicates the investigation. the ntsb expects a preliminary report by the end of next week. >>> breaking news from oklahoma. a massive wildfire is raging out of control. more than a dozen homes on the prairie have been evacuated. but more are in the path of the blaze along with a chemical plant. heavy machinery operator apparently barely escaped with his life. it's believed that the fire started when a downed power line began to spark. there are other smaller fires on the kansas side of the border. >>> a new dashcam video this morning shows a frightening rollover crash in missouri. the police officer tried to pull over the driver who refused to stop and then, you see it there, lost control flipping over. the driver was thrown clear but the officer didn't know that until he rushed to the wreck. the driver remains in the hospital. >>> we move on now and to reena's home state of let it be said florida where wildlife officials with tape measures have a lot of work to do. they're expected to let us know today just how massive, wow, that alligator is. >> it's a front loader if you're wondering. they used a front loader to lift it. >> that is not real. >> after it was killed. after it killed a couple days ago. the gator was found in a pond. then hunters took it down. and say that they blame some of the cattle that recently disappeared on this guy. >> the largest alligator ever found in the wild in florida measured at 14 feet 3 1/2 inches long. >> so if you're wondering at home how you measure a gator, apparently the official way is to have an alligator stomach and have someone pulling on its nose a little bit and pulling on its tail. good luck with that folks, anybody who wants to measure a al gator. >> no thank you. >> for you, your next assignment. just you watch. >> no, i'm good. >> coming up, the women of uconn entering into history. >> beating syracuse last night for the women's national championship. so can anybody top this college program ever? >> and hollywood's hottest celebrities taking on magazines crying foul over what they say are unrealistic images. but first a look at today's forecast. >> on this national caramel popcorn day. >> really? >> yes. we'll celebrate later. >> announcer:

tom. wish them ill will. and maybe for the first time in the history of history you can win this game. we are playingng cruz or fictio. ted cruz he diction. tedkicked out of his college fraternity for being unlikeable. is that fact or fiction. lisa, you have losost. now we ginto question number 8. i knew it was an odd number. you are still in it. you could win. only one point separates you from the men. after ted cruz renounced his canadian citizenship, prime minister stephen harper held a good-bye party and said ted cruz is the abraham lincoln of sarah palins. you got that one wrong. there was one question left. tom, this is a big night for you. question number. u guys ready? in a fill busker against obamacare, ted cruz performed a monologue from the princess bride. dave, you are tied for the lead. tom and dave, he read green egg and ham, he quoted ashton kutcher and performed a darth vader impression. >> i always watch a filibuster all the way through. you and dave are tied with 7 apiece. but we have consolation prizes for you including goat cheese from the green room. here is the tie breaker question. you don't need your paddles for this.

ted cruz? believe me. first of all, the crowd would be about 25 people. that would be a house majority leader tom delay, who voted for tedruz in the primary. congressman, welcome back. glad to see you. >> glad to see you, deirdre. deirdre: what do you think ahead of these northeastern states, donald trump so much name recognition, does senator cruz and i'm sure he has got his candidates running in those congressional districts in pennsylvania, and he could do very well in pennsylvania. but you know what? it doesn't matter. if you look at the votes. and the, the primaries that we've got left, the state has we got left, i can't find a way where trump can get 1237. bill hemmer on fox news and boad heavily weighted his predictions towards trump and could -- deirdre: congressman i will not pick a bone with you or bill hemmer because he knows that board inside and out. but there are people, all respect intended to you both say that it is possible, especiallys is way further out, but the granddaddy of them all, california in june and then those 150 unattached delegates. still doesn't get to the majority. deirdre: okay. so it so

tom? you look at the polls every day. ted cruz, you know, john kasich makes the point 15 polls that he beats hillary clinton. but can tedhat point that he runs better against hillary clinton than donald trump? he does win better than hillary clinton than donald trump but he still loses to her. hey i can beat her in the general election. we did have a poll showed trump within a couple of points of clinton. that might have taken a little bit of out of cruz's argument, so it's going to be a tough case for him to make. >> lisa, final word. i mean, do you think it's shaping up that he comes up short? >> potentially. look, i mean i think it's going to depend on what his delegate haul looks like tonight and also what happens in indiana next week. i think the never trump crowd loses significant steam if donald trump comes out tonight with 100 delegates and he wins indiana next week. if you are senator cruz, how do you possibly make the case to these delegates and the voters in the remaining contests that you deserve the nomination when your mathematically eliminated from getting 1237 number. i also think that he is setting the

ted cruz really does like cheese. i'm not making that up. ted cruz is a cheese lover. for him to bring out cheese is a big move, tom he is attacking the delegate system. on the other hand, he clearly seems to have a little bit of a new focus. he is all in in new york with a hope that a big win in new york could right the ship a bit in the hunt for 1,237. >> he has to get to 1,237 before the convention. a contested convention does not look good for him. if he can lock that in beforehand, he will be good. he is likely to get the nomination. he needs to get above 50% in new york to make that happen. that's just the key benchmark here. you know it is interesting about cruz is the primary and the convention wranglers, people who have done this before, will tell you that there's the primary after the primary which are the state conventions. the congressional district conventions where they are selecting the delegates. what is funny, trump doesn't show up for these, but cruz does. cruz did colorado last weekend and north dakota before the. he is doing wyoming this weekend. in person with the republican activists. a lot of

ted cruz, why you thought ted cruz would still, you know, be right as the nominee. on that note, i want to get more on tom's reporting. let's take wyoming, right? no public vote can -- party insiders in the state award 24 of 29 delegates to ted. how is that democratic? >> well, first of all, at the precinct level out in early march, there were scattered votes all over the state. and donald trump did win a delegate then, ted won nine, rubio won one and there was an uncommitted. so a lot more people involved in this than you have suggested. it's not that there were party insiders making those choices. there are a couple states where that does seem to happen. indiana, new york, are two examples where that happens. and we both have to live with that. we're not advantaged or disadvantaged by that, and neither, frankly, is trump, as far as i can tell. in the last five races that ted has won, all the way back to utah, over 1 million people have voted. over 1.3 million people have voted. ted broke the record -- >> wisconsin was an only primary. >> an open primary. and it was an open primary, and ted cruz shattered the record trump in that open primary.ld so their theory falls apart. they did well in the nevada caucus. they did well

tom: all right. react to this "fox news poll" that says very conservative, trump is going up, cruz is going down, i thought ted cruz was, if any, his support from the very conservative side. >> it's clearly, tedy is a constitutional conservative. we're playing in donald trump's backyard. i'm not taking anything away from donald. he's got plenty of publicity. he owns new york, drive through manhattan and all you see are trump signs, not political posters but on buildings he owns or has built. so trump is, look, like ted cruz in texas and beat donald trump, certainly donald trump has to win new york. this is his hometown. tom: here we are, in the middle of april, do you have any idea how this is going to turn out? >> no, i don't. i wish i could tell you for the last 12 months, i've been wrong in every event. tom: and you everybody else. [laughter] >> and i've never been that wrong in my entire career. i've been in politics -- >> are they tearing up the rule book. and this whole beef about the rules and we made the rules and the rules you knew about, sounds like people are angry about everything government and they want to tear up the rules. >> i understand the frustration of the people, i under

tom delay. >> and now ted cruz. >> that's why i'm saying, somebody like ted cruz comes up here, that's why people say "you know whathing that ever happened to kelly ayotte." no, no, no. ted cruz would be the worst thing that ever happened to kelly ayotte in a general election because there's a reason why in 2008 there was not a single republican representing anybody in all of new england in congress and that's -- >> but ted cruz means kelly ayotte is a former united states senator? >> exactly. ted cruz means bad news there, bad news in ohio for portman, bad news in wisconsin. ted cruz at the top of the ticket means ron johnson is looking far new job. >> and chuck schumer is majority leader. >> i can't say this enough. it's just a reality. you probably agree, or maybe you don't. ted cruz is the worst-case scenario for senate candidates, even worse than donald trump. >> and i think that that's the great irony with everyone flocking behind him now because it's a cynical support. they know they need to stop trump. there's no way they ride that horse to the white house in november because there's no ground for it there

ted: if i had a hat, i would take it off. it is so impressive. it restores my faith in the field. i thank you all. tom: would you identify yourself, please? ted: my name is ted gupta. i used to be an investigative reporter. i don't know if i can claim that still or not. my question is kind of broad. it goes to all of you. we live in a different political climate and i am wondering to what degree that change of political climate affected your reporting in this way -- in terms of either the sources of the problems you look at, the accessibility to officials, the responsiveness, their attitudes towards the press, the willingness and appetite to follow on the judiciary, gubernatorial level, congressional oversight, whatever -- how was your work changed by that change in the american political climate? i guess that is what i would ask. tom: you don't all have to respond. [laughter] >> i will make a brief response to that. maybe one of you can go into it a little more. my impression is that a lot of investigative journalism in the past was looking for things that are legal, and now you're looking for things that are legal. abuses and things that have been legalize

tom: good morning. let's get right to our first word news with vonnie quinn. vonnie: ted cruz calls it a turning point in the republican presidential nomination. he defeated donald trump in the wisconsin primary. tedlicans now have a real choice. >> we are winning because we are uniting the republican party. bella ray, get ready, here we -- hillary, get ready, here we come. donald trump made no concessions -- concession speech, he issued a statement calling ted cruz a trojan horse. sixth sanders won his caucus or primary of the last seven contests beating hillary clinton 57 to 43. >> do not tell secretary clinton, she's getting nervous, and i don't want her to get more nervous. i believe we have an excellent chance to win new york and a lot of delegates in that state. vonnie: the new york primary is april 19. clinton still has a substantial lead in the race. in mississippi, protesters gathered outside the state house at the governor signed a law that allows businesses and religious groups to ban gay and transgender people. the governor said he is protecting religious freedoms. there was no drama ended national championship game. tot's jesus want syracuse 83 51. the win gave the uconn coach a recor

ted cruz is irrelevant. even though tom is right, he's outperformed. far guy who has his unlikable of a public persona to do as well as ted cruz has done, it's pretty extraordinary. but what happens over the next two weeks, does donald trump discipline himself? >> we have an ongoing feud on this topic. i understand that there are people -- trump has a very close and small circle, but there has been a tension among some people in the family that enjoy the moments where he's more presidential, where he's able to elevate a little bit. >> i think that's the entire family. and the entire family is saying -- >> elevate a little bit. because when you that you can't be beat. >> he's not going to drive anyone away. >> right, his supporters won't be offended if he suddenly acts presidential but it's difficult with him. he feels like being me as gotten me this far. i hope last night's crushing loss in wisconsin empowers the people who give him the advice to do more speeches like at aipac to show you can digest criminal policy. i have to say, though, about cruz, cruz stands on the best campaign structure organization on either side. and he is the most disciplined candidate running for president on either side. >> it's pretty remarkable. >> those are the things you don't get credit for. you don't win news cycles when there were 17 people. but when you're down to three, those things win elections in places like -- >> and by way t way, this delegate hunting -- >> he won't win. i still say he won't win the nomination but he's run an impressive -- >> i'd rather be cruz than trump at an open convention. i mean, the cruz campaign is going to -- they're systematically -- >> six of one half dozen of the other. tedink you'd a always rather be the guy who has the mathematical opportunity. >> i said once you get to an open convention i'd rather be cruz because i think he will have identified the 1300 dhaegs are -- that should be -- that he might be able to win. that's the point. >> i think a question that we have not put on the table here yet is that this deep into the campaign and given what happened last night in wisconsin, has the trump campaign jumped the shark? have they gone so fwar this sty and by the way it's burn every bridge in town, take down the villages. when he takes on women as he did last week and as uninformed as he was about abortion this late in the campaign, sooner or later that catches up with him in some degree and i don't know downstream how much of an impact that will have. >> i agree with you. and when we talk about his numbers with women, it's not about his comments about women. it's that women make up a disproportionate amount of independent voters and people that may be
