i think it's trump and trump's appeal and trump decent democrat gogry. it's not anybody else, but the second thing is i'm not some happy -- eric, you and i have discussed this as pals, but you know what? hats off to donald trump. donald trump has doing something that the political insiders have not seen in generations. people don't understand it. believe me, he can bring the same magic to a general election. democrats will be shell-shocked, how does he get this media attention for free? how is he managing to bring out new voters? how does he generate, galvanize the base, potentially? >> let me give the last word to rebecca on that. how is he doing it? >> it's a great question. he has this amazing dominance in terms of media, but in terms of the formula photogot getting the attention, the recipe is kind of a secret at this point. that's kind of the challenge for hillary clinton if we're talking about a general election matchup. it's difficult to strategize around trump. he's so unpredictable, no one knows what his secret sauce has been, except we talked a

among the takeaways, donald trump's appeal is crossing geographical and ideological lines. clinton is proving that she's diverse and dominated among african merps but won by big margins across all segments of the parties. sanders has the finances and fans to continue for a while, but clinton is clinching the nomination. the trump train too. he beat cruz. cruz called the southern states his fire wall and he beat marco rubio among moderates. rubio, the established best hope in trouble with polls showing trump beating him in his home state of florida. john kasich needing a win in ohio or he too is doom. delegates, what is unclear whether he'll be able to get enough delegates or whether we'll see a broker convention. i'm specialist, shaun boyd, cbs 4 news. >> trump leads the republicans with 314 delicates. cruz in second with 214. the parties nominee is going to need 1,237 delegates to win at the republican national convention and avoid that brokard convention that shawn talked about. sanders has 387 this morning. the democrats require 200,383 delegates to win the nomination. >

a key element of trump's appeal is that he is seen as caring about the middle class and working class americans, who are the major supporters of his bid for the presidency. since day one, money needs to be spent on domestic, such as education and infra structure, than foreign security issues. >> translator: trump creates an imaginary enemy by sending a message like japan and south korea are exploiting the u.s. by doing so, people feel less frustrated. >> japanese foreign ministry officials fear that a trump victory in november may affect their country's diplomatic policy and the global economy. government officials, especially those in the japanese embassy in washington, are pouring over trump's policy statements and collecting information on people who might be appointed to senior positions in his government. nhk world. >> senior u.s. official stressed his country will not recognize an air defense identification zone or adiz if china declares one in the south chien that sea. >> we will not reng nize it in the south china sea. we do not recognize the adiz that was established in the e

the governor decided to stay out of it donald trump appeals to the same tea party class as this up with rick scott and so this is a win for marco rubio. >> let's talk about the debate tonight. based on educated guess and past experience is going to get ugly. >> yes. it's going to be once again ted cruz and marco rubio going after donald trump the entire strategy for the gop at this point other than donald trump is to stop donald trump. you sold in mitt romney's comments. he's encouraging kasich people to not even campaign in ohio. let kasich with ohio and that rubio in florida. and then just pile up delegates he needs to win the nomination on the first ballot so the entire campaign now is about denying donald trump be 1237 in terms of delegates. >> what is the game plan for marco rubio next florida is his last and his last and only hope of perhaps making a case that goes on to the convention where he could try to convince people these look at the nomination -- how do they do that? >> you do that by for instance last night and today. glenn beck the conservative radio talk show host is pu

when trump appeals to that, that is resonating with people. of course, ted cruz has done a lot of that himself. he has had strong showing in the south. but you know, this race is moving beyond the south, and i think that's where trump has got to grow as a candidate if he wants to be able to win. he is having a little trouble out west, he'll have some opportunities in states like new york, connecticut coming up, and it's going to be really interesting, but as i said before -- >> where i grew up, the men will like him and the women will have a problem with him. henry, please come back, you know. it's great to have you on. >> yes, sir. >> joyce, my dear, thank you. >> thank you. >> religion piece as well as the ethnic piece. we have to keep that mind. it came from the loss of the bible in school. up next, tough talk, foreign policy becomes the focal point of this campaign, hard line candidates are taking as they explain what they're doing right now to combat the threat of isis, exploiting this now. this is "hardball," the place for politics. >> t

don't expect to see that part of the violence that we see at the rallies, most of the core of trumps appealm many of his voters, the hatred, the anger, the bigotry, this is central to the tone of the campaign. if you are repulsed by that, for the most part you weren't voting for him to begin with, addition nally he has a story about the violence that casts him and his supporters as the victims. in fact, one thing he does not do is back down from the violence, he says that it is not his fought, flog that he has done to cause this violence taking place, in fact, when you look at sarah palin for instance, yesterday, she seemed to be speaking to that same group, by calling them thuggery. >> donald trump doesn't back down from anything. the tone is the message, he is the guy that never backs down. he is the guy that says exactly what is on his mind, and he is the guy that is very hateful, but if he moves away from that he is no longer the donald trump that has rocketed to the top of the g.o.p. primary race. what that tells you about the voters that is supporting him, that's a separate question,

trump. she's making a direct appeal to try to tone things down because she doesn't want her people campaigningrs. she's going to try to win the trump voters and it's a smart play. >> you were noticing that too? >> i think it's very important and i think this is very tricky for liberals. on the one hand it's very important liberals want to say we think there's some racism here. some of donald trump's proposals are shockingly bigoted. i think what hillary clinton is saying is don't brand those trump supporters as big on tots. it's important to recognize if some of this expression of economic pain, not letting in muslims, even if some the kpr esh is problematic, the sources of that are things we have to deal with as a country. >> to add to that before david left he was talking about the turnout in arizona on the democratic side and the story line so far has been that the republican turnout has been way high and for the most part the democratic turnout has been lower than 2008. in arizona the democratic turnout is higher and the question is whether or not that is the first place you're seeing the

this is a woman contemplating unpredictability of donald trump's appeal. she's to say we're the best country, our best days are still ahead. and knowing that people are so afraid and i think she probably in september as two nominees doing far better than him in a policy debate. but that is not what the voters are asking for. and she knows she's going into unknown waters facing off in this heat. >> donald trump is closing in on potentially 50% in arizona. we don't know how the rest of the 35% of the precincts are going to come in but he's at 46% now. characterize what this means for trump going forward. >> she's able to get over 50% for the first time. that is a big dealn moving he can win a majority in the state. he's going to have to start doing that. but tonight, going in, he needed to win about 57% of delegates here throughout the end of the contest. and he might pick up more in utah. it's a very big deal. and in arizona, he's struggled in the pachlt. ted cruz is poised to do better in a place like utah. and if donald trump doesn't pick up a single dele

he didn't because two months before trump went down the escalator, bernie sanders appealed to the media and said can we do some serious coverage here and not descend into soap opera or trivia or world wide wa wars. >> what's powerful is he was able to rise up despite the lack of attention. they're going to say new traditional media, we're going to get what we want. we're going to raise issues we want to hear. >> this is a fascinating moment to talk. let's have everybody stick around here. stand by for me and we're going to come back later in the hour. we're going to spend time talking to two key decision makers. nancy gibbs about media snobbery. plus john on the early words. stick around to hear his reaction. i am powered by protein. milk has 8 grams to help give you energy to unleash your potential. start every day with milk's protein and milk life. you're an at&t small business expert? sure am. my staff could use your help staying in touch with customers. at&t can help you stay connected. am i seeing double? no ma'am. our at&t 'buy one get one free' makes it easier for your staff to s

among the takeaways, donald trump's appeal is crossing geographical lines and clinton proves her grip on the nomination firm. she dominated among her coconstituents african owe-- trump train beat cruz among efb -- and he beat rubio among moderates. rubio, the accomplishments last best hope in trouble with polls showing trump beating him in his john kasich needing a home state win in ohio or he too is doomed. trump appears all but certain to is unclear if he'll get enough delegates. >>> in colorado, the republican party did not do a straw poll this year. instead it elected delegates to cast votes at the state gop convention on april 9th. we saw an impressive night for the democratic caucuses. colorado came out to vote in big numbers. sander debated clinton in a non binding poll. jaime leary is live with colorado's results and jaime, you have a look ahead for us. sanders was popular among the young adults at the caucuses in denver and boulder. voters could be seen in lines along the precinct more than an hour after caucusing started. the results, they're not a sure thing. just a forecas

reporter: in west chester sunday, the trump appeal attracted hamilton county sheriff jim neil, a democrat, setting off a firestorm within his party. >> i called him up. i mean, i was stunned. reporter: party chairman tim burke calls it a terrible decision politically. >> and jim, i think is going to have to explain himself to an awful lot of democrats. reporter: that explanation came straight from the sheriff mid-afternoon. >> i made a big mistake. it was selfish on my part because i didn' t take into consideration the other candidates on the democratic ballot. reporter: in a way, it shows the pull of trump who speaks up vigorously for law enforcement. kasich delegate greg hartmann supports police, too, but sees trump as potentially ruinous for republicans. >> i don' t think he represents the republican party that i believe in, i don' t think he that a lot of people believe in. i think he represents anger. reporter: here' s where a lot of traditional republicans are tonight. they want to stop trump. but they want to beat hillary moore. they believe will be the democratic nominee. they wan

that's how trump appeals to people. >> true. the racial part, to me, is the tool that trump and others use to manipulate those people sboop believing the problem is mexican immigrants or black people. we've seen this over a long period of time in the republican party. this is not new. >> let me ask you about the black community here. is it got the loyalties to the clintons we have seen in the south? >> there's an incredible institutional loyalty to the clintons. >> what do you mean institutional? >> our office oholders. there's a tremendous amount of support for them that way that does filter down into the voting. i would be surprised to see bernie sanders push that back all the way. >> this is a home of a strong labor move. we love the uaw historically. i still have romance about it. what about the word socialism and bernie? does it work? >> i haven't really heard a lot of pushback in the democratic primary if he were to win the nomination. we hear about it non-stop. >> you mean push back for the republicans? >> absolutely. i t

endorsement for ted cruz, i think actually is insignificant. for donald trump. i think donald trump's appeal is to a group that probably doesn't listen much to fiorina. >> every time we bring you in after a primary, we expect, that there'll be change in the conversation or narrative, that he maintain as fairly strong lead. what is it or who is it, that will take him down. >> i think, it can only be one of the other candidates. we keep hearing the argument, who's the alternative to donald trump? ted cruz is making a strong race to that. but everything comes down to tuesday. and fiorina endorsement, i think it was running mate talking there on paper. she's a good alternative. >> what are your thoughts ahead of the florida primary? do you see trump taking the state? >> florida is a very important state, it reflect it is weakness actually of marco rubio. the person who's left out of the conversation for the past two weeks, is marco rubio, and lots of analysts are saying this is a make or break state, for him to stay alive. his candidacy is irrelevant right now. >> it's unfortunate for him, we've

. >> does trump appeal to the people of appleton? >> oh, i think so, yeah. >> why? y brother is from appleton, he lives in california now. he has been a democrat allm%his. is he voting for trump. is he changing his party affiliation so he can vote in the primary in california. >> i worked in wall street my whole life. i -- i know economy. i believe he is the difference. >> and that's the pulse of the voters here in wisconsin. we're going to continue to keep taking it live from clio's the world famous bar where they keep the christmas lights on all year long, greta. >> inel deed they do that's what makes them so famous. thank you, griff. remember the loyalty pledge that each g.o.p. candidate signed in september in the rnc asked each to sign a document and support the party's eventual nominee. now, each candidate may be tearing up that pledge. >> i'm no the in the habit of supporting somebody who attacks my wife. >> i'm not asking for support. i want the people's support. >> in the nominee is somebody that i think has really hurtl dividing the country, i can't stand be

and part of it is that trump appeal. trump says in some ways his supporters stick with him and kind of dig in deeper when people call in to question his vulgarity or whether or not he's too brash. one of the interesting things is the new york times talked to people about the anti-trump movement in the republican base and kind of asking people what do you think about this? what do you think about mitt romney. and people were very offended by mitt romney telling them who to vote for. >> but they weren't offended by the hand size, and the what it alluded to? >> no, they were saying this is the type of politician we want. this is not -- he's kind of thrown political correctness outside of the door, so i think that people are really kind of still feeling trump and still understanding that they really like this style. >> rich, you know, let me -- let me show you this about gop attacks on trump, based on -- let me go there after. >> donald trump is a con artist. >> donald trump is a phony. a fraud. >> he will betray us on everyt

. >> reporter: trump's appeal is not universal in this southwestern state, known for its popular republican leaders, like presidential candidates senator john mccain in 2008 and barry goldwater in 1964. >> i believe that there have been a lot of excellent candidates on the republican side. and i believe there's one in the frontrunner position who has made comments that are just completely irresponsible. but we'll see what happens. >> you don't want to say him by name? >> well, it's donald j trump and the comments that he has made regarding our friend and neighbor, mexico, are wrong and offensive. >> reporter: glen hammer is the president and the ceo of the arizona chamber of commerce. the group usually endorsees republicans with strong business records. >> if donald trump moves forward with his economic plan, which would include potentially setting off a trade war, he would be very bad for business. the last time the country engaged in high tariffs was in the great depression, and that didn't work out well. in terms of what he's saying, i don't think that he would be good for business. >> r

still to come on the newshour: why trump's rhetoric is appealing to millions of voters; madeline albright stephen hadley discuss the u.s. role in the mideast; a peace deal that could change colombia's cocaine trade, and much more. >> ifill: donald trump has now been leading in the polls for eight months, making him the prohibitive favorite to win the republican party nomination this summer. his celebrity has driven media coverage, which in turn has boosted his celebrity. the result? the new york times found trump has received nearly $2 billion of free media attention during the campaign, nearly twice as much as the original entire 17-member field. today, he once again demonstrated one of his greatest skills: hijacking the news cycle with a provocative comment-- this one about abortion. >> do you believe in punishment for abortion? yes or no, as a principle. >> the answer is that, there has to be some form of punishment. >> for the woman? >> yes. there has to be some sort of punishment. >> ten cents? ten years? what? >> that i don't know. that i don't know. >> well why not? you take positi

>> why does trump appeal to you. >> >> what it is mostly is that he is different. >> he wants to get rid of obama care. >> he is a multibillionaire personally and that is the type of president we need. a president with a business sense. >> reporter: trump mentioned hillary clinton only once saying among other things that he does not believe she should be permetted to run. he did not say why. trump is off to miami. he is scheduled to appear at a miami. with all of the demonstrators we saw lead out some, i thought i saw one or two in handcuffs, we are still working to find out if any of them were arrested. >> same thing we seen at other trump rallies across the country. ken smith, thank you. >>> hillary clinton will visit the triangle tomorrow. that will be at 3:50 p.m. the doors opening 2 hours before that. her campaign canceled the event in raleigh. >> right now hillary and sanders are going one-on-one on a debate in florida. it comes after a major upset by sanders. we are looking at how tonight's debate is going and tuesday's primary is important to democrats but republicans as well

i don't think donald trump pivots back to the center on this. i don't think he can. the main appeal that donald trump has tried to sell the voters is i'm the guy who stands up to political correctness. i tell it like it is, even if it is a brand unburden the by factual support. for him to pivot back undermines his appeal. >> donald trump has been flip-flopping all over the place, so it wouldn't surprise me if he does more flops and flips. i want to get back to the point of we are going to take cake are our own people perfect targets that at black voters be a hispanic voters who are citizens. i think you're going to see him do more of that if he is the nominee in the general election. i'm telling people that message, whether it's the right mental or not, whether divisive or not and i believe it is divisive in the way he says it, we are going to take care of our own people. that has more resonance than people admit in this country. >> donald trump trump says i'm going to make sure that apple makes its phones in america again as opposed to china. one of the things i've been hearing thr

this is a place all of trump's appeal in the past comes together.t's a big test. >> at the same time, laura, with 77% approval rating the fact that under his term there, 400,000 private sector jobs have been created in ohio. >> yes, and the economy is doing well although i will say that a lot of the jobs that have come back don't pay as well as the jobs that have been lost so. there's economic anxiety about that. you know, poverty rates are pretty high, there's a lot of people on medicaid. things are not, you know, super great in ohio but certainly better than they were five, six years ago. >> now, i do think that kasich is going to be running on his record. he is ping ponging around the state and he's holding rallies in places to try to highlight job wins that he's had. he was in dayton yesterday at a manufacturing plant that went in and replaced -- it's -- they took over a large portion of a long shuttered gm factory, and they hired 1,000 people or so. so, kasich is trying to you know, highlight that sort of record that he can get things accomplis

i think i get the trump appeal and the kasich appeal and rubio appeal. cruz. is it just hard right? >> the basic faur furry at the republican party is the rigged sort of corrupt political system. >> economy is getting better. >> it's actually at the republican leadership. that the republican leadership has basically in their minds have been able to stop president obama from, you know, stepping out his front door. right. progressives would say republicans have been unbelievably obstructionist. but at the base of the republican party, there is this sense that they keep electing people on a wave and they're not st stopping the president from doing anything. that anger at the republican leadership is what ted cruz personifies. >> when we see congress having an approval rating of 9% in the single digits. we are now seeing that taking shape in a presidential election. that's what i've been thinking, too. the anger against establishment leadership we have been watching since 2010. the freedom caucus is now full fledge into the presidential. it's not new. >> i saw it. i saw it my first days

trump's appeal to make america great again goes well beyond specific policies but to really restore aters that are culturally and economically disaffected say they want to see restored. >> in fact, let's kind of read with you and kind of read between the lines of what you wrote in an article just last month in "the atlantic" saying, "there is empirical evidence that the cultural world of conservative white christians has been losing its central place in the country. white evangelical protestants are the group most opposed to same-sex marriage and they clearly lost this battle both legally and culturally. beyond that, white christians have in fact been steadily shrinking as a proportion of the population over the past decade." is it that evangelicals are looking at it as the cultural change as you just spell out and donald trump is speaking to them on that, especially when he says making america great again? because you went on to write about how white evangelicals are seeing the cultural change of america with more immigrants, more immigrants who were speaking little or no english and

trump appeals to our worst impulses. here's the question.ng to run himself, but will he get involved and try to influence this race in various other ways? >> look, i don't think he was not only anti-trump, wolf, he was anti-ted cruz. and i think michael bloomberg probably doesn't have a lot of appeal with the base of the republican party right now. so even if he were to get involved and say, push john kasich or push marco rubio, i don't think it would have any influence at all. i do think where he can get involved is in a general election. it seems to me from reading his statement, if kasich, cruz or trump become the nominee, it's clear to me that michael bloomberg's going to be campaigning for the democrat if it's hillary clinton. >> i assume he would. ran, let me read more about what trump said. -- excuse me, what bloomberg said. we cannot make america greatbac the values that made us the world's greatest nation in the first place. i love our country too much to play a role in electing a candidate who would weaken our unity or darken our f

is it fair to say that for many months you misjudged donald trump's appeal to many republicans? >> why? >> because i found his appeal so unappealing that i found it unfathomable that he would amass such a large constituency. i'm still mildly amazed, but i'm not denying it. >> last august in the candidate casino, you had more money on bush and rubio. and now you've got 80 bucks for trump and 10 for cruz. when i interviewed donald trump a couple of weeks ago, he brought you up and said you never have anything nice to say about him, he says that many of the commentators he feels has a kind of personal hatred for him. >> i think he feels that way about just about anybody. you remember at the end of a maureen dowd column. and she said how do you feel about x, y, z, and if you look at that, athletes or whatever. yeah, so and so, good friend, good guy. everything is in relation to how he feels about him. so i'm sure he feels -- i have absolutely no animus against him as a person. obviously he's a good candidate, and maybe he will win, although i would be surprised, i think he would be

. >> the trump appeal. >> a teacher bets a million dollar bonus. hows nice... [ technical difficulties ] the myth of nuclear energy, of it being economic, safe and clean has been swept away. >> "fukushima: a nuclear story," narrated by willem dafoe. >>> this is al jazeera america, i'm randall pinkston in new york with a look at the top stories. >>> 34 killed when a car bomb goes off in a square in kabul. no one claiming responsibilitiesies. >> i'll campaign as long and hard as it takes. >>> it could be the last stand for

this is the core -- >> because it's getting -- >> but this is the core of trump's appeal. you think if he's watching us right now and hears jeffrey say, oh, you know the authorities might slap some charges on his campaign, he wants the authorities to slap charges on his campaign. his campaign was desperately hoping i'm insure that's somebody in north carolina would charge them with something because the whole raw visceral appeal of trump is, you know, the man who tells it like it is, no matter what. the man who is standing up for you against -- you heard him there -- against those protesters. there's a little bit of how george wallace handled these things in the '60s and a little bit of the wwe. trump was a wwe guest star, world wrestling. >> completely misunderstanding trump's supporters. the aggressive rhetoric is something they see as a cost of change. most don't support him because he wants to punch a protester in the face. many wish he wouldn't say things like that. they see it as the price for change. changing the republican platform, making it a more anti-free trade

personalt about experiences in life stories that may donald trump appealing to them?o do a deeper dive on who these people are. a human and more empathetic i, andry to understand this get beyond the stereotypes we sometimes see in the media, not because they want to character -- caricature voters but they are all on a deadline and do not always have the time to do this. talked to many dozens of trump voters at rallies across the country. then we decided to focus on half a dozen of them to do in-depth profiles and also to put them on video. very well produced videos to allow them to talk in their own words unfiltered. we thought it would be a way of on thesesome light voters and this very interesting election. ont: which is what we do this program. to get out what you found, here is how we are dividing the lines. if you are supporting donald trump, including men, dial in -- others, why you are not supporting donald trump. tell us your view of him. daniel klaidman, i just want to read a little bit from what yahoo! put together. the narrative has taken shape in the media

trump's appeal has transskended that republican base and captured sizable numbers of independents anddemocrats. that's why folks like marco rubio and ted cruz have been screaming that trump has abandoned the party's staunch conservative on fiscal and religious issues. in many respects, he has cobbled together, trump has, a new coalition of supporters. by the way, a name for this. the process is known as party realignment. it happens every 40 or 50 years. and could be happening now. >> what does it mean for the democrats? will the numbers themselves identify democrats staying within their parties? that depends on whether the realignment is real rather than a temporary fad connected with the primary season and donald trump. if trump holds on to the new coalition and gains republican nomination democrats need to work hard to keep their members and that gets to what we call enthusiasm. we heard lot about that. hillary clinton has won the most delegates. we know that. and as we understand now, it's likely to win the democratic nomination. bernie sanders attracted the largest crowd and mill

a lot of trump's appeal is a lot about attitude over the truth in some cases or hard core policy positions. in a lot of elections it's more true than not. but part of what trump is dealing with is in a still crowded field of three, he is not yet a majority candidate this deep into the cycle, he's still a front-runner but he's got a lot of liabilities on his side and they seem to be gathering, not diminishing as he goes along, which i think becomes a real problem. it's why a guy like ted cruz -- cruz doesn't have a lot of room here. he either says the guy who is a front-runner is a fraud or he says we got to unite against him because he can't win. >> but donald trump is not the only one accused of doozies. just look at the fact check, he's wrong, barack obama, hillary clinton not turning the places over to the muslim brotherhood. trump is not self-funding his campaign. so does the truth really matter in this xap? >> as liberals used to like to say, there is the larger truth and in trump's defense -- >> depends on your definition of truth, is that what you're saying? >> in donald trump's def

but i would also add that part of trump's appeal is making america great again.dino massacre, he said, well, we have to put a pause on muslim americans coming to the united states. whatever you think about that, it was popular among voters who think we are asleep at the switch and donald trump says he's going to put a stop to it. do you and i think that he will? i'm not sure but he says that wes what he intends to do. >> can the powers that be stop donald trump?

are those types of comments, while disgusting to some, it's part of trump's appeal. >> unfortunately, it's very distasteful. as much as i have to worry about donald trump, my angst goes up even higher for the people that support him and these comments. tonight, me and my stepdaughter were able to have dinner together and to look at a 10-year-old young african-american girl and know she's going to have a very difficult ladder up but it's going to be even more complicated with donald trump as president using language like that. it makes you take a step back. and when you hear that and i see that i'm on the air with nina turner and angela rye, strong women who've made it this far, if donald trump becomes president of the united states how many steps farther back do we take? >> bernie sanders likes to say he doesn't run negative ads. if bernie sanders became the nominee and ran against trump, would that have to change, angela? >> i don't think he would have to go negative. he could just go truthful. just like that ad. where those literally were his words about women. it plays by itself. t

showing he's pulling his support from a broad base of people, ideology, education, so this donald trump appealing it only working class white males simply isn't true and, thirdly, the way he's been able to drive the turnout. paul begala has said the enthusiasm does worry him. >> you guys are sitting there saying i told you all that. >> nina you have to get in on this group because they will talk all over you. >> she's so shy. >> i agree with what van has h to say. as somebody who has run for office, there's only two ways to run, unopposed or run like hell. >> that is a fact. >> you never take your opponent for granted. the donald -- mr. trump rather is tapping in to some very real concerns in this country. we might not want to admit it. this is bigger than mr. trump. if he was standing alone that, would be one thing but the fact had he has millions of people who are in his orbit right now who are willing to support him is another. i've been on this campaign trail, i've talked to democrats who are very much in support of senator sanders but if senator sanders is not the nominee who are pondering w
