kasich: how about around of applause for your four term governor, tommie thompson?der, how could you bring that congress together? how can you get things done? mannt to tell you i had the that runs the serbian hall come ande and introduce himself say, my wife and i voted for you. let me also tell you, back in 1977 when i was a young man running for the state legislature, i sat down with another man that reminded me of him. white haird a shock and piercing blue eyes. he called me into his office. man, you know that i am serbian. i said, yes sir. he said, i happen to know you are croatian. why don't we set that aside for is election.th so i brought us together, serbians and crow ats. canou can do that, you bring anybody together. i heard 38% of people who live in this state don't know anything about me to form an opinion. i guess that is what happens when you are positive all the time and you don't inter-a demolition derby. the reason i am comfortable here is i grew up in a blue-collar town outside of pittsburgh. it was blue-collar. frankly, i don't remember meeting a

[applause] abraham lincoln, and some peopl

going to be in utter chaos and, you know, every morning on your network i hear another -- heard tommy thompsonmorning talking about, you know, ultimately the convention on the republican size would select john kasich. they're selecting whether paul ryan, you know, the speaker of the house could be brought in as a last-minute savior. i think it's going to be possible that the republican party isn't the republican party that we know by the time they get to the end of this presidential election because they're in such civil war with one another. and they've got -- with good reason, you know, the bed they've made, that -- they are lying in the bed they've made. they've got donald trump who is questioning whether people should invest in the stock market, has no concept of what the impact of nuclear proliferation will be. has three different positions on a woman's right to make her own reproductive choices on abortion in a single day, in a matter of hours. to say nothing of ted cruz and john kasich who all are really in the same place on the most extreme end of the republican party which is the furt

you'll see the former governor tommy thompson. the emcees are going to be some of the talk show hosts, the. these are the people, part of the establishment, to work against donald trump. just to sort of stop him in a polite way. they have gone after him in every way that everybody i've talked to in. it's been unrelenting for these surrogates will. why do you think drimp is not going to be at the. but why didn't he come? they said it would be a little bit like going into the lions dernl. people have tried to thoord stop it here, to in a case their waterloo. >> what brought this on was the fact that john kasich could take silver out of all this and beat donald trump. the math is closer to kasich than trump. >> they see opportunity. certainly ted cruz sees opportunity, but so does. he would probably be much more to the liking of most of the voters here than ted cruz. they said they're going to come down to beating donald trump. i talked to a couple people who are long-time on the ground operatives here in the republican party. they b

i think with some republican women and moderates, tommy thompson the former governor and the former madisoncan congressman and people that call him the polite republicans they want an alternative to the mud wrestling tandem. >> final question, 18,000 people showed up in the bronx in new york for bernie sanders this week and as we've explained, he's leading thus far against secretary clinton in your home state. those folks coming out and giving $44 million in this past month and who will vote for him on tuesday, they must believe that despite the media analysis of the delegate count, there is still a path for bernie. what is it? >> well, i think that wisconsin is a critical part of that. that's what obviously the sanders campaign said from the start. one thing to understand is that as you talk about both of these campaigns on the republican side and democratic side, you've obviously got your delegate map up front but momentum. that's important to think about. if ted cruz wins big in wisconsin, if possibly john kasich comes in second in wisconsin or at least beats trump in a number of congres

. >>> joining me now john kasich supporter and former wisconsin governor tommy thompson and a senior advisor to donald trump, ed brookover. thanks to both of you for being here. governor taump zhompson, let me with you. you support john kasich, but current rule would prevent anyone from being a nominee if that candidate hasn't won a majority of delegates in eight states or territories, which kasich obviously has not. how can you and governor kasich get around that rule? >> well, first off, that rule was for the last convention. i was chairman of the rules committee in 1996, and we had the opportunity to pass the rules at that time for that convention. there are two individuals from every state that's going to be representing their candidates at the rules committee when it meets a day before the national convention starts. and i'm fairly confident that this rule is going to go by the wayside. this rule was put in four years ago for governor romney. it's going to be changed. even if it isn't changed, there's nothing to say that the rules cannot be changed after the second or third ball

ideas that have really gone to the forefront, welfare reform, economic reform, john kasich and tommy thompsonnd that to me is a conservative. and if you have conservative ideas, it's okay to just go back and vote no. but you don't get -- you don't make any headway doing that. i'm a believer in getting government to work and getting government to work around conservative ideals and ideas. and i've always done that my whole life and will continue to do it as long as i'm involved in politics. >> all right, former wisconsin governor. >> and don't forget, chuck, that the packers are coming back to go to the super bowl. i'm a shareholder, you and i are together. >> not only that, i heard aaron rodgers tweeted today, if he wins the presidency, he said he might consider kasich as his running mate. that's about as close to as an aaron rodgers endorsement you're going to get. >> we're on our way. that shows where the packers are. thanks, chuck, and have a great day. >> and in defense of aaron rodgers, he golfed with the president on sunday, talked positive things about john kasi kasich tuesday. see, he

the passengers are malvina tommy thompson, or private secretary, and in pauli took to be a secret service agent, though my research suggests this man was probably tommy's husband. it was probably -- eleanor didn't like having secret service around. so she showed up at this camp which was the first camp for unemployed women. it was sort of a female version of the ccc camps. however, allen was determined that unlike the cc secant for men, this particular camp would not be segregated. that was really important to her. since it was a project efforts and does not located very far from her home, it was in the paramount area of new york. she would go periodically i'm announced to inspect the candidacy of things were going. so she drives up in this convertible coupe, gets out of the car and immediately starts going through the premises. and the camp residents are really excited and they are following her. but pauli who shy and stunned by this unannounced appearance of the first lady come in eleanor hasn't been first lady that long, is sitting in a corner in the social hall, which is the dining ar

we have former wisconsin governor tommy thompson and kasich's national chair. thanks for joining us. the sound bite of the woman came before us, said she is registered democrat who crossed over to vote for cruz. which is kind of a statement you would never think you would hear. those things really in my mind don't seem to go together. at a time when -- >> don't balance, do they? melissa: people say wisconsin is very different. that maybe exemplifies it. why is wisconsin so different? >> we're a very independent state, melissa. you go back when kennedy was here, nobody expected him to win. he did. hubert humphrey, even though he was next door had setbacks here. you look back in history, and republicans and democrats alike vote very independently in wisconsin. you never know for sure. tonight even though polls indicated ted cruz it will be very close between he and the other two candidates and i still think that john kasich is going to surprise a lot of people. i think that john kasich will pick up some delegates here. i certainly hope so. i'm campaigning hard fo

governor tommy thompson who is very well loved in that state endorsed governor kasich. the governors. what does it mean? >> probably not much. >> really? >> i'm not sure any of these endorsements have meant a)q whole lot throughout this process so far. i just did my absentee ballot and i showed my support by voting. >> when you drive around the state though, we go like the northern part of the state, all the attention is southeastern wisconsin and also madison, the northern part of the state is going to vote which way? >> people say, you know, they have certainly been more supportive of trump because it's been more economically depressed. the lumber industry, the timber industry up there has been depressed. they haven't been able to get in the forest and harvest as much lumber and that's been harmful. toughest part of the state other than janesville which lost auto plant. otherwise, the wisconsin economy is humming along pretty well. not one manufacturing plant that i visited in my five people. >> how is your race? >> it's going to be close. i feel very good about it pa

when i talked to one of his supporters the other day, former wisconsin governor tommy thompson, he said surprise. it wasn't just that donald trump wasn't going to win, but that john kasich was going to do a lot better than anybody thought. so far with about 20% of the vote in, that's not the case. >> not the case at all, and it was pretty clear looking at john kasich's campaign schedule they knew that this was going to be potentially pretty brutal. he's been in new york. he's been trying to appeal to, you know, new york more liberal to moderate republicans instead of being in wisconsin, the midwest state to his north where you're right, he should be doing pretty well but he's not and this is one of the things that you're going to hear more and more from ted cruz's campaign, the anger at john kasich for being in the race because they believe, if you look at the polling, i think they're right, that he takes away from one person and one person only at this point and that's ted cruz, not donald trump. >> that's not what donald trump said the other day, anderson, you might be surprised to he

important to john kasich than almost anybody else and his supporter former wisconsin governor tommy thompsonkasich's delegate chances here. take a listen. >> so you think he could do better than three or four delegates? >> i think we're hoping to get six. >> and if you get six, what does it mean for the campaign going forward? >> it means the campaign is going forward with or without the delegate votes. we're going to go to the convinco conventi convention. abraham lincoln went to the convention in 1860, first republican. >> a little different now. >> no, it is not. when you look at abraham lincoln came in ranked number third, came out and was probably the best president we've ever had in the united states, probably with the exception of george washington. >> there is also an internal poll, michael steele, that was shared with me by a long-time republican operative here who said three for kasich, three for trump, the rest going to cruz. but if cruz does win big here, if trump only comes away with three delegates or a handful, how much does that complicate his path in cleveland? >> well, it d

i had a chance to speak to another former governor, tommy thompson, yesterday about kasich's plan here in wisconsin. let me play if you whfor you wh say. >> john kasich is going to surprise a lot of people on tuesday. >> best case scenario? >> i think we got a very good shot at second congressional district, fourth congressional district, shot at the third and the first and sixth. >> you think he can do better than three or four delegates? >> i think we're hoping to get six. >> and if you get six, what does it mean for the campaign going forward? >> it means the campaign is going forward one or without. we're going to go to the convention. >> so i'm curious if you agree with that assessment. and let's just say that ted cruz wins the majority, many of the rest go to your candidate, to john kasich. what does that mean for donald trump? >> well, i think there's little doubt that donald trump has lost a lot of steam, particularly this past week. there's been a coalition that has gathered around more to prevent trump, a fear of him going into the convention with a number of -- with enough v

right now former wisconsin governor tommy thompson is speaking.cruz will be speaking shortly. donald trump is not here but an emissary of his will be here, governor sarah palin. >> did you just happen to have roller-skates with you? >> i bring them with me wherever i go, anderson. >> no doubt. gary, thanks very much. >>> when we come back, things get tense on the democratic side. accusations of lying, demands for an apology. the latest between hillary clinton and brs next. i take these out... ...to put in dr. scholl's active series insoles. they help reduce wear and tear on my legs, becuase they have triple zone protection. ... and reduce shock by 40%. so i feel like i'm ready to take on anything. whose long dayis sheldon setting up the news starts with minor arthritis pain and a choice. take tylenol or take aleve, the #1 recommended pain reliever by orthopedic doctors. just two aleve can keep pain away all day. back to the news. i want each of you to grab a 2x8 and cut it. you'll have 2 saws to choose from. ♪ you all chose the best tool for the j

let's bring in former wisconsin governor tommy thompson, governor, thanks so much for being was.> well john, you have asked several questions in that lead up. but let me hit them out of the park one by one. first off over a year ago i said we are going to have an open convention. i think i was the first national leader to say that and i've never changed. always said that. neither of the leading two candidates are going to get enough delegate votes. so we are going to go and have ab open convention. isn't it better to have three individual candidates to choose from? a candidate with a record both at the federal level and the state level, which neither of the other two candidates have? and let's take a look at what's going on. john kasich is the only candidate who can win. i for one want to beat hillary clinton or whoever the democrats put up as their nominee. i think it is okay for intermural basketball and baseball but when you get to the full cycle, the professional -- the professional stretch, you want the candidate that is going to win. that is john kasich. now let's take a lo
