now, here in waterbury it's very much a hotbed of the trump campaign. the reason why, like many other towns in the rust belt and the northeast it's a place that saw manufacturing jobs leaving after the '70s and '80s, go to china. they used to build clocks here. all that manufacturing is no longer around. i was here last night, i spoke to people who said you know what, trump gets me, he understands what i have been going through, he understands the fight we wage every single day just to survive. he does not sound like the other politicians, i believe him. that's anecdotal but sort of parlays what we have seen him do all around the country, appeal to white working class disaffected voters who really want to bring about some sort of political revolution or change in their own mind. he seems to be doing well at that. the connecticut as i mentioned earlier, these 28, it makes it all the more possible to get to 1237 ahead of cleveland and not have the contested convention. that's really the goal, run up the margin as much as possible. if it's like massachuset

if ever there were a city tailor made for donald trump, i've got to think it's waterbury, connecticutu about the democratic side. bernie sanders in hartford right now. ian is telling us next door in rhode island there's a good shot for bernie sanders. what about connecticut? >> he definitely has a chance. he was down by nine points in quinnipiac. the whole establishment, democratic establishment from the governor on down is for hillary clinton. however, sanders had give or take 10,000 to 14,000 people last night at the new haven green and connecticut has a long history of liberal upsets, usually in the democratic primary. barack obama beat hillary, a guy named ned lamont beat joe lieberman. oftentimes the upstart candidate wins in kekds going back to jerry brown in 1992 when he beat bill clinton. that was a long time ago. the clintons remember that and bill clinton himself is here for two stops in connecticut, plus he was here the other day in new haven. so the clintons are pulling out all stops. hillary had three stops, bill had three, chelsea was here. the entire family was here. th

let's turn to luke russert in waterbury, connecticut. a smile on your face. everyone of us listening wait, not so much. was that a show of confidence? >> reporter: a show of confidence but one that is firmly suited in what the polls reflect, that donald trump has a wide lead here in connecticut, of course neighboring state to his home state of new york. it also is made up in the republican primary electorate of a lot of the disenfranchised working class voters across the country. waterbury where i am specifically, coming in here last night talking to people, there's a sense of being forgotten. that no one cares about the hard work i put in, no one cares about my issues in washington, donald trump is the anti-status quo, he is going to shake things up, he is going to be great. interestingly enough, donald trump had a slip of the tongue yesterday. he says he would like a great president no matter who that person is. take a listen to this. >> i wish we had somebody that was so good, i don't care if it's a republican or a democrat, i couldn't care less f we had a

donald trump speaking to supporters in waterbury, connecticut. ted cruz just started in monroeville, pennsylvania. sling and dart at each other back and forth. let's say critical comments and leave it at that. this has a lot of people thinking neither is going to arrive in cleveland with enough delegates, hence the contested convention. what is the fallout? who better than? always good to have you. >> thank you. >> we think of contested conventions as being bad for the party knee deep in them. but not all the time, huh? >> history does provide solace. three of our greatest president, franklin roosevelt, and abraham lincoln and ronald reagan had a platform at a contested convention. if you can start in 1976 when ford and reagan were fighting each other. and again it is much like today in a certain sense. one of them had the primaries. ford had the party behind him. ford a had all of the tho offer people. rides on air force one. receptions on the battle ship. and eventually he won the nomination on that first ballot and reagan gave this amazing spe

. >> chrysler high schools in waterbury and in bridgeport. sunday clinton will attend a church service in bridgeport. we don't have any word on which church. >>> meantime, another republican candidate, ohio governor john kasich is getting a jump on candidates. bernie sanders is trying to plan a rally in new haven green. as for ted cruz, he is focused on pennsylvania and indiana this weekend. >>> tonight marks the beginning of the. for those who can't make it home, serl restaurants in our area are offering several passover. pieces portraying art. schools are deciding whether to entertain it. >> leo dicaprio. >>> tonight a controversial piece of art has been removed from the art library at rutgers university. the piece called the jesus man shows jesus on a dart board. it shows darts having hit him in four spots. >> it's very disrespectful. >> while i understand why people would te'o personally enjoyed the commentary. >> they don't know whether he or she is a student or faculty member. >>> beginning june 17, oasis is going to have three nonstop

ladies and gentlemen of waterbury. [ laughter ] it's a great honor to be with you this morning. although most presidents don't work in the morning. you know that. >> donald trump poking fun at his presidential image as his campaign pledges to reshape it. he is due to make a speech on foreign policy next week at the national press club. trump and hillary clinton are each beginning to pivot towards the general election taking more swipes at each other. the former secretary of state preparing to be challenged on her trade positions. here's charlie with the "the washington times." thanks for being with us. so trump is clearly doing well. in order to beat hillary clinton he has to win over republicans in that never trump crowd. he's retooling his image. will it work? >> i think there's a pretty good chance that it will work. it will certainly work a lot better than a lot of the cruz supporters would admit that it will work. you know, donald trump -- the brand that he's created that has been so good for him has been off the cuff very entertaining but very, you know, he says what seems

he really went after ted cruz, his rival, very hard in his speech in waterbury. he's continuing to talk, as you can see behind me, calling him lyin' ted, giving him the nickname of raphael straight out of hills of canada and he did respond to what paul manafort said this week about his public persona being a little bit different from his private persona. listen to what he had to say. >> i sort of don't like toning it down. i'm going to talk about that in a second because it interesting. isn't it nice that i'm not one of these teleprompter guys where you come and -- [ cheers and applause ] >> if i was, i'd have an audience of about three people here. this is the biggest crowd in the history of the school. when i'm out here talking to you people i got to be different, right? i can say basically the same thing. paul said, no, he's different when he's in a room and then he goes out and speaks it's different. then if he gives policy it's different. we all have like -- we're smart people, i awe act differently. >> and trump discussed being more presidential, he said a

today trump told supporters in waterbury that he is not toning down his message. his chief adviser told republican officials that trump would show more restraint. trump called for his opponents, senator ted cruz and governor john kasich, to acknowledge their losses. >> they're both mathematically eliminated. they should drop out, in all fairness. of bernie sanders remain upbeat in baltimore, despite polls showing hillary clinton is leading in maryland. sanders today criticized hillary clinton's record, he also attacked clinton's wage plan, and clinton spoke on the economy in new haven. >> more good jobs with rising incomes, and we need to make sure that our education system works for every child no matter what zip code that child lives in. >> reporter: clint >> clint o on speaking at an event in maryland. all but one of those states on tuesday is a closed primary, and that means independents can't vote. that has hurt bernie sanders in other states. >>> well, for the third straight day, prince fans are flocking to the singer's paisley park estate in suburban minnea

you know what presidential is i walk on. [ applause ] ladies and gentlemen of waterbury, it is a great honor to be with you this morning. although most presidents don't work in the morning, you know that, right? if i acted presidential i guarantee you that this morning i wouldn't be here. >> hey, look, there's no denying he's an entertainer. anyway, trump is leading all of the polls ahead of tuesday's primary by double digits. republicans will be fighting for a total of 172 delegates on tuesday including the delegate rich state of pennsylvania, that is where 71 delegates are at stake. and ted cruz just wrapped up an event in pennsylvania where he ramped up attacks linking trump to hillary clinton. >> is anyone here frustrated with politicians that keep lying to us? politicians who make promises and then they get an office and they betray us? well, look, hillary is a great example. and we've seen the pattern. usually they take good on the campaign trail and then they get in office and betray us. well, i have to give donald credit, he's betraying us before he got elected. >> cruz is now

trump taking strong aim as you heard from his clip in waterbury. he's focusing on delegate because connecticut, rhode island, delaware, pennsylvania all places where trump looks poll in recent polling. alex? >> thank you. >> let's bring in the former deputy campaign manager for carly fiorina and former director of the rnc. what we heard donald trump say about how he gets up there and sort of mobbed the whole presidential thing. to whom is he appealing and is it anyone who is gathered in that room or who would already be supporting donald trump? >> i think donald trump has shown over and over again that he's a great reality tv star and very entertaining. no question. he can entertain a crowd. however, what you also see again and again is that he doesn't know what he believes, what his policy stances are, which is why you see him say one thing on abortion and have to send statements out the next day. i think he's running into trouble where he's entertaining but there's no substantial behind it. >> we've been hearing about donald trump's new handlers

ladies and gentlemen of wate waterbury. that's all trump thinks the presidency is? (laughter) imagine having a president who just told us his game plan ahead of time in every single situation, like after a mass shooting, trump would basically come out and say, okay, i'm going to open with grief stricken boo-hoo-hoo, then solemn, then hopeful, cue a singletary and we'll go to lunch. everyone on the same page? okay, here we go... another tragedy, for more insight, joined by senior trump analyst roy wood, jr., everybody! (cheers and applause) >> roy: what's up, african? >> trevor: how you doing, roy? you have been following trump this past year, how are you feeling about his fitness for the oval office. >> roy: honestly, trevor, trump doesn't belong in the white house. donald trump belongs in a rap video. >> trevor: what? >> roy: everything trump says is straight out of a rapper's play book. he bags about his money, disrespectful to woman and there is always fights at his concerts. >> trevor: just because trump is flamboyant,

bury connecticut, was arrested yesterday after tweeting out bomb threats against a trump rally in waterbury, saying is something going to bomb the trump rally or will i have to and warning friends and relatives to get away from the rally so they would not be harmed. he was arrested yesterday afternoon about 5:00 by counterterrorism officials as well as members of the united states secret service. he was released on a $25,000 bond and will have to appear on court on may 4th. >> john roberts for us live on this very important sunday. thank you so much. >> on the democratic side, hillary clinton and bernie sanders also campaigning in the northeastern states ahead of tuesday's contest. in all 384 democratic dell grats will be available between the five states. >> clinton is ahead in at least four of the five states with primaries on tuesday. she already has 750 more delegates than bernie sanders especially when it comes time to the superdelegates. sanders made the rounds this morning and said he still sees a path to the nomination, all be it he concedes it's a narrow path. he also said he plans

we were at the waterbury connecticut events. several thousand people showed up there.red had to be turned away. just a handful of protesters. we have not seen the amount of protesters here in connecticut such as in new york. the trump campaign released a new video attacking the establishment. the term we've heard so often throughout the election season. it says the trump campaign will work with the establishment but it's not going to control him. he's take great pride in stopping special interest money. >> they're only going to be doing what's good for them, meaning they want contributions to run for office now and in the future. so we'll work with the establishment but they're no longer going to control what's happening. we're going to control it. and that's going to be good for you. and it's going to be my great honor. believe me. >> trump, again, today said his fellow gop candidates cruz and kasich need to drop out because they're mathematically eliminated from the nomination. cruz and kasich keep fighting back saying they could beat him on the convention floor. the

today trump planned rallies at crosby high school in waterbury and kline memorial auditorium in bridgeport. church service in bridgeport. no word on which church she plans to visit. >>> meanwhile, john kasich is getting a jump on connecticut. he's in glastenbury as we speak. and sanders plans to go to rhode island before moving on to connecticut tomorrow. >>> president obama is in london preparing for a dinner with britain's prime minister. at a town hall meeting he called on you think britains to -- a moment between the president and the prince was captured at kensington palace last night. there it is on your screen. prince george in the world's cutest set of pajamas got to stay up past bedtime to meet the first family. >> there will be a rush on those everywhere we go. >>> a u.s. army airport exercise in germany has gone viral. from the sky. it's from a parachute equipment drop last week. fortunately nobody was hurt in this exercise. the army's investigating what went wrong and who shot that video. >>> still to come on today in new york on this saturday morning, inside a wedding. the hos

from the crowd that showed up here in bridgeport, they loved it as they loved it earlier in wat waterbury, connecticut. his rally was interrupted by a few protesters. when that happened, he said this makes the rally more interesting. he said there is nothing more fun than a trump rally. pamela? >> thank you for that. let's turn to the democratic side. bernie sanders and hillary clinton are making multiple stops in the northeast today. clinton is holding events in both connecticut and rhode island and bernie in delaware. chris frates joins me for more on this. he simmered down the jabs it seems but they're back, right? >> it seems like he's back to criticizing hillary clinton on the campaign trail. he just made the case that he's the most electable candidate as well in november. >> if you look at the matchup, matchup holes between donald trump and myself, we are beating him in every instance. and almost always by larger margins than secretary clinton. >> so that was sanders addressing a rally of supporters in delaware just moments ago. clinton for her part, she campaigned on a little bit o

here in bridgeport about 1,000 people have shown up as we saw the video, a very lively crowd in the waterbury event we just came from. several thousand people showed up, a few hundred did not make it inside. in typical donald trump fashion, a very strong turnout. people from coast to coast lined up before the sun comes up for these events and that's no different here in connecticut. as far as protesters, we have only seen a handful at each location this morning. we have not seen that strong organized turnout of protesters here in connecticut like we have seen in other nearby states in new york. it is a nice saturday afternoon so you would think it would be prime time for people to be on the streets. just not happening here for whatever reason. just this morning, the video donald trump released a video saying he will work with the establishment but it's not going to control him. after that major victory in new york, a lot of analysts are saying there's no way to stop trump's momentum getting to 1237 delegates. this week after that big win in new york, trump's top lieutenant said we will start

police say it has not been reached, but the waterbury event, there were several thousand inside that building. and just a handful of protesters inside each location. we have not seen the strong organized turnout of protesters here like we've seen in new york and other states and also just this morning moments ago, donald trump's campaign put out a new video attack iing the establishment, saying he's going to work with the establishment, but it's not going to control him. and moments ago at the rally, trump continued to say ted cruz and john cruz need to drop out because they are mathematically eliminated. >> cruz can't win with the voter. he can't. you saw what happened in new york. he got wiped out. you saw what happened all over the place. i've won so many states more than him. he's got very few. he's got i think less than half. but he can't win with the voter and don't forget, the half he's got, it's a delegate thing. >> now, coming off that major victory in new york like you said, trump's campaign has said we're going to start to see a change in his tone and approach, that so far

ladies and gentlemen of waterbury, it is a great honor to be where you this morning. >> katie, he mocks the process. he actually mocked his own guy, manafort. >> well, it would be funny if it weren't so frightening. this is a guy running to be the leader of the free world. he's not running to play a part on a reality tv show. i do think he's mocking the process, and the notion you're going to tak a guy that's 70 years old and he's going to adopt a whole new personality, he doesn't even know that wha s he's doing is offensive. the idea he's going to somehow change along the way is impossible. >> you can't beat something with nothing. at the end of the day, you can say that, you know, these voters are deluded, they're takingbiz,t that with nothing. the problem with the stop trump movement is you're offering nothing. you're saying just don't vote for this guy. obviously, the voters preferring him are saying he's offering an occam's razor solution of economic want, feeling they're left behind by the party. your side is offering them nothing. >> most republican strategists worry, as much as

he said when i saw him in waterbury, connecticut, saturday morning, he told the crowd there, i wouldn't be standing here tonight if i had acted presidential all this tile. i don't think i would be the gop front-runner if i had acted presidential. >> very clear that persona has appealed to a lot of people who have not been inspired by the republican electorate in a long time. so that is a big part of the story line. guys, don't go anywhere. donald trump has got a lot to celebrate. he's going to do probably a little bit of celebrating on cnn this morning. he's appearing live on "new day" this morning at 6:00 a.m. >> also on "new day" speaker of the house paul ryan, he is not running for president. he is warning the current republican candidates not to wait until the convention to get their acts together or it will be, quote, too late. >>> all right. coming up, why did john berman say i was rolling my eyes like mary pat christie? we're going to tell you exactly what that moment was all about and what the battle of the sexes could be evolving on the campaign trail, next. is better for your

. >>> in a short time donald trump will hold a rally in waterbury, connecticut.luke russert is already there. are we getting a read on what donald trump's message might be going forward after some of his operatives worked pretty hard to soften his image? >> reporter: it's now much more of a professional campaign. up until about a week ago, until paul man foe got involved, it was more see what sticks, see what will work. now it's much more professionalized. you can see after covering a trump rally earlier in the year, this has been the best planned one i have attended from a logistical standpoint. the message is much more one of unity, not necessarily throwing out the bombastic comments that he did earlier in the year. he's admitted to some degree that that was being said to garner some points with some of the more interesting elements of the republican caucus burks this is a game now about delegates. that's what he's going to try and do. he wants to project a measure of inevitability that he's in the lead and he's going to win. take a listen to what he said on th

the city of waterbury, nothing from there yet, nothing from new britain.nty of opportunities for hillary clinton to make up that gap. one other thing i could show you, quickly, on the republican side here in connecticut, talking about this, donald trump at 60%. what does that mean? that means he's easily going to clear that 50% threshold and get all 28 delegates from connecticut on the republican side. and also, i told you this at the start of the night. i said, i didn't think this would come into play. but what kind of a night is this for donald trump? almost all the votes are in rhode island right now. he is running at 65%. the trigger for him to get extra delegates in rhode island, 67% in individual districts. we are looking right now to try to find that breakdown by congressional district in rhode island. there is a chance he's done so well there that he could hit that 67% threshold in one of those districts, which would be amazing. >> steve kornacki, can i ask you one detail about that democratic race that's too close to call in connecticut? we showed

if he wants italian food, he could see my aunt in waterbury. can he keep his campaign alive?out to arrive. and with her, a flood of potential patients. a deluge of digital records. x-rays, mris. all on account...of penelope. but with the help of at&t, and a network that scales up and down on-demand, this hospital can be ready. giving them the agility to be flexible & reliable. because no one knows & like at&t. and i quit smoking with i'm chantix. i had a lot of doubts going in. i was a smoker. hands down, it was, that's who i was. after one week of chantix, i knew i could quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or ter stopping chantix. some had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures.

lee live in waterbury, connecticut where donald trump will hold a rally in a few hours.ng to see from a different trump this morning? >> reporter: good morning. well, as we head into the final stretch of the gop primary, the big question is are we about to see a donald trump 2.0. as we herd trump's senior advisor paul manafort telling reporters this week that trump is about to evolve, that as he gets closer to the nomination he is willing to change his presentation. manafort said that the way that you start a campaign isn't necessarily the best way to end the campaign and it is also worth noting that he also downplayed some of the recent tensions with the rnc saying that as trump gets closer to getting the gop nomination he will work very closely with the party as a united team. now we have seen some signs of the new and maybe softer donald trump in recent days. remember when he won the new york primary in a big way on tuesday, he gave a victory speech that wasn't his usual style. it was very short, it was to the message, and he took a softer tone when talking about his

that has been noticeable not only in bridgeport but waterbury where he was earlier. he's been holding his rallies in connecticut ahead of the state's primaries on tuesday along with primaries in delaware, maryland and rhode island. trump looks poised to do well. trump's argument is that neither cruz nor kasic have realistic paths to not nomination outright. the argument from his opponents cruz and kasic they can deprive trump of the magic number 1237 to lock up the nomination they can go after him on a second ballot potentially in july. why you saw cruz, for example, meeting with some of the delegate candidates today as he took aim at some of trump's comments as well. a lot happening on the campaign trail. a busy weekend ahead of tuesday's primary. keeping an eye on it in connecticut. >> one of the reports out there is that the trump campaign had asked not for those who are attending to bring signs or banners, the video clearly shows they did bring them, what's the word on that request? >> well, you know, we often go to these rallies in connecticut, you saw it in del

kennedy high school in waterbury, connecticut. i think the kids like mrs. hayes. just finding out that mrs. kennedy is -- she's won the national award. empowering the children to community service and teaching philosophy. we met some working on the project and learned about the impact of mrs. hayes on their lives. >> oh, my gosh! >> all the way down there, and you're waiting for black, right? >> she's not like most teachers. mrs. hayes understands us completely. >> she gets everyone involved. >> where do we need more green? >> in the morning, after school, during school she'll always be talking to her students. whenever she walks into the room, it brightens your day. >> it looks good. look how bright it looks. >> she's saying you have to put on your big girl pant. >> if you want something, you have to do it. you can't just wait for it. >> she's always taught us to be conte conte conscientious members of society. >> my family has been through a lot. she's been there. >> she believes that every student has a chance to do well this life. >> awesome. that's really coo

donald trump was in connecticut last night in waterbury and bridgeport.own because people go there to see the guy who is ginned up, not toned down. >> being presidential is easy. much easier than what i have to do. i have to ran and rave and keep you people going otherwise you'll fall asleep on me. presidential is easy. you know what presidential is. i walk on. [ laughter ] if i was presidential first of all i'd have a teleprompter. ever see crooked hillary clinton. she walks in. good afternoon bridgeport. how are you? this is crooked hillary clinton. >> he's an entertainer. can't take your eyes off the screen. it's worked for him so far. his top adviser told heavy weights he's turning it down. >> he's in bridgeport and waterbury. these are towns hit hard by economic changes in this country. these are towns with a ton of struggling people. that really is the whole point of the trump campaign. a lot of this country is poor. it tells you why he's doing well. >> his message is jobs. and there in particular. if you heard that donald trump was coming to your t
