wisconsin. wisconsin is not that kind of state. you know that.%6 >>. carl, nice to see you. donald trump though has had a rough week getting mired in controversy. will that hurt him with wisconsinn the "on theÑa$jy record" political panel is here. "boston globe" anna linskey and washington examiner susan ferrechio, those poll numbers are sticking out there. those are big poll numbers. yet, trump's followers are so passionate about him and some so many people really want him. >> it's helped him all along the way. this is the state where trump's were weakness in lack of substance may catch up with him. >> scott walker and paul ryanht two people successful based on substantive nature. trump is more based on his personality. he has lost the endorsement of the governor who is instead endorsing ted cruz. >> surprising he didn't endorse governor kasich. i was surprised by that. >> that's right. i think the idea is to get cruz because he is the most viable of the three that isn't trump. and that's part of what that is about. >> and what we are hearing is that cruz has a great ground game in wisconsin right now. >> yeah. this is what cruz does. he has been doing it in aim of the stateme

here is ted cruz today, talking about the importance of wisconsin and its 42 delegates. >> i think the entire country is looking to wisconsin. wisconsin has a national platform, and megaphone, and if we end up with a win tonight, it is going to have national repercussions, not just for the 42 delegates at stake here in wisconsin, but i believe it is going to powerfully impact the states to come. >> but donald trump's top delegate strategist quoted saying mr. trump doesn't need to win any delegates from the unbound states or wisconsin. he says trump would be able to get to win -- to win at the convention any way. the cruz campaign respond saying evidently the trump delegate team are all graduates from a trump university math program. >>> joining me now asabrina, an white house reporter for buzzfeed. sabrina, let me start with you with what ted cruz was saying there. if ted cruz does win with wisconsin, is this a limited event, where we go to new york in two weeks and donald trump wins big there and wins big across the northeast and all is well in trump world again? or is this an event tonight if ted cruz wins in wisconsin, that has a s

wisconsin voter. welcome to the program. all eyes are on tuesday, wisconsin's primary which has become critical for both parties. what are you seeing there in the field? craig: wisconsin is a trap for the front runners in both parties. you have an electorate in wisconsin favorable to trump in a lot of ways, a lot of white, blue-collar voters. he never holds well here. the political, establishment, conservative talk radio, the governors allies, a lot of forces in the party, couple that against him and largely behind ted cruz. the latest polling shows ted cruz rocketing past donald trump into the lead in wisconsin. fernando: why do you think wisconsin is difficult in that the electorate seems different than the electorate's trump has been able to win? craig: it's a combination of factors. trump has had some trouble in the upper midwest. his style and personality don't go over as well here as they do in some places. he's also walking into a unique political environment where for years there has been this war between governor walker and the republican party and labor on the left in the democratic party, and it made for a cohesive republican party. donald trump is a divisi

wisconsin. >> what donald trump misunderstood about wisconsin, wisconsin republicans are loyal to their electediticians. they're loyal to the chairman of the republican national committee, paul ryan, the speaker of the house. donald trump has been out muckraking and making detrimental comments about those two gentlemen. people in wisconsin are saying, you are talking about wisconsin folks, badgers. this is the badger state. this will not do well for him in the electoral votes. why is bernie sanders doing better than hillary clinton in wisconsin? does it matter? >> it is a very white state. you do not have the minority vote that has turned out for her. you have a lot of kids and a lot of colleges. it is a very liberal state. if you look back at the history outsider candidates do well. i would consider it a victory if she kept it to single digits. delegates of1700 the 2400 she needs. bernie sanders has about 1000. katty: we are not in parallel positions? >> you need to see change going forward. she has to lose. unlike the republicans, ours is proportional. she will win delegates. katty: let's tak

wisconsin. if he wins the next contest is new york. cruz openly mocked new york values. so even if he wins wisconsin, how can he carry the ball forward? couple things. first that is a great question. first let's talk about wisconsinwisconsin is resetting of the race. it is much more similar to michigan which donald trump won than it is to iowa on the other side which ted cruz won. so what you see here is a state which is not as evangelical. it has a different set of issues. more of a manufacturing state. and what we see tonight is a further consolidation of the republican base, particularly that volunteer activist, engaged republican base behind senator cruz and abandoning, stepping away from and rejecting donald trump. so that sets the stage going forward for the remaining states. our campaign has been built around a-state model from the very beginning 50 state model. california will vote last june 7th. we've been organizing since august last year. we're well ahead of the game there. you see this in other states. we've been preparing the battlefield for some time. deirdre: essentially what you're saying one of the litmus test, sorry to cut you off, you're saying this isn't just the base that is familiar and supp

wisconsin is like but he's getting a late start in wisconsin. ted cruz has a good ground game. looking at it from a distance i would say ted cruz can win by 10 points in wisconsin. >> how important is wisconsin, then, in the general scene? if ted cruz wins wisconsin what does that mean for his prospects coming into the northeastern states which are right after that, like new york, pennsylvania, connecticut, congressman? >> i think the most impact it has as far as slowing donald trump down. if he could have won wisconsin i think that would have really put him on the fast track to the nomination. if cruz does beat him and beat him convincingly in wisconsin it will raise doubt about donald trump and slow his momentum and then you have two weeks where basically no primaries or caucuses of any real significance between wisconsin d new york. so all the emphasis goes on new york. that's where kasich can make a move. cruz can slow trump down there's no great love for cruz either. trump has to show he's ready for primetime and for a guy who has been on television so much he really has not been ready for primetime. he has a lot of support. in his column he's letting down

wisconsin for ending it. give wisconsin the credit for ending it, and then we can focus on hillary instead of these two guys. >> i'm up 14 points on hillary in wisconsin, and i'm going to lose in wisconsin. okay? this is really unbelievable. isn't it? how this whole process is going, but persevere, 38% of the people in wisconsin, don't know who i am. >> it's quite interesting, that's why ratings are through the roof. wisconsin tomorrow could end some of this disarray. >> i'm not sure that's right that wisconsin is the end all. even if donald trump wins wisconsin. have you those big states, new york, new jersey, pennsylvania coming up, the northeast. and john kasich, if he stays, in may get some of those delegates, and that will put a damper on trump or cruz ever getting -- i don't think cruz is getting to 1237. the only likely -- i would say possible path to 1237 would be trump, he does do a lot better if he gets wisconsin, and gets wisconsin in a big way. the polls have flip-flopped on that both ways. trump was leading, cruz was leading. whatever, who knows where it's going to good. wisconsin's important, though. wisconsin is huge in other respects.

wisconsin. that may be true. but i think the people of wisconsin will decide that. i hope the people of wisconsin have a different result. i think if they do, it will make a powerful statement across the country. it will continue to add to our delegates. we are seeing state after state after state our delegates growing. it will have a powerful impact on the states coming up. >> reporter: you see senator cruz trying to craft the argument that a potential win here in wisconsin would give him a lot of momentum, but that would not be passing. he went on to say painting donald trump's candidacy as one on a downward slope. senator cruz has a steep climb himself on the path to 1,237. >> this morning, the republican in third place, john kasich, ohio governor, is digging in his heels. you heard trump and cruz thinking kasich's presence in the race hurting them. they are both calling for kasich to drop out. the ohio governor is not going anywhere. >> i'm not getting out. why would i get out? particularly when trump is worried i would get his votes which i knew i could do. we are going to be fine. they spen

wisconsin? >> i think wisconsin is incredibly important. if trump wins wisconsin, he gets 1,237. mp does not win wisconsin, i don't think he gets 1,237. >> it's huge. you had the segment earlier, the waterloo. >> waterloo, that bad? >> i like the illiteration. i like the wisconsin ill illiteration. in the upcoming contest, the growth -- if you look at the trend lines, he overperforms in the latest public polling. donald trump's voters get there early. they are loyal and don't go anywhere. the growth opportunities of late have not been the trump vote. they've been the non-trump vote. >> i don't think that's works moving forward beyond wisconsin. that's the only place you're seeing any growth for ted cruz. if you look at some of the states coming up the rest of april, that's donald trump. in fact, i think ted cruz will be battling to win second place in a lot of those states and beat john kasich. a really tough road ahead. >> it goes by congressional district and then you get sort of an extra bit of delegation as you do tomorrow in wisconsin if you win the state overall. it's not wi

wisconsin for ending it? give wisconsin the credit for ending it. and then we can focus on hillary clinton instead of these two guys. >> but trump still trails ted cruz heading into today's vote. and while the state may not make or break any candidate, the stop trump movement is hoping for a big win. >> reporter: closing in fast, the wisconsin finish line, the last push through a state that matters more than anyone thought it would. not just for its 42 delegates, but for the momentum it could give the stop-trump movement. >> they realize he screams and yells a lot. >> reporter: this looked like trump country, blue collar, more moderate, an open primary, but since then, cruz has surged more ground zero, led by a group of conservative talk radio hosts. >> this is a clown car and the rhetoric that works elsewhere does not work in a state like wisconsin. >> reporter: but a win here would prove trump really is tef lawn, after his roughest week yet. >> what i said is we're going to go into a massive recession and i say if i'm president, that's not going to happen. >> reporter: and a revealing new profile that shows he wear as bullet proof vest. he says he can start acting presidential whenever he wants. so far, it's the same trump thereon trail. and that's fine with linda hanson, who says she's sticking with him no matter what. >

wisconsin and i'm going to lose in wisconsin, okay? this is really unbelievable. >> how do you think we're going to do in wisconsin? >> great! >> i mean, i think we're going to do really well. i hope so. >> i want to ask every one of you to come out on tuesday and vote for me, ten times. >> if i tell you i'll fight for you, i'll stand for you, i'll work for you, that's exactly what i'll do. if you will give me the chance. >> we are hoping here in wisconsin, there will be a record-breaking turnout. if people come out to vote in large numbers, i think we're going to do very, very well. and that's what we're hoping for. >> so here's why wisconsin matters. it's a state where the front-runners are the underdogs, which means we could see some big swings in momentum after tonight. it's also stand-alone. nothing before, a couple weeks before, nothing really a couple weeks after. so can cruz and the stop-trump forces notch the win? they're readying for a war at the cleveland convention, but they first have to keep trump off the pace in his delegate hunt starting tonight. and if trump pulls off the upset, watch out. meanwhile, on the l

wisconsin. >> so you think, dan, from your perspective about wisconsin politics, is it an obstacle to the trump winning narrative? we've seen him come up short in other places, but why do you think wisconsind be so pivotal? >> i think it's because wisconsin is the republican establishment. you have paul ryan here, reince prebius here, governor walker here, and there was a decision to try to stop trump by endorsing ted cruz. not that ted cruz is a great fit here. his style doesn't match wisconsin politics, he's very evangelical. wisconsin is not heavily evangelical, but the decision was made to throw all the support behind him and to try to create this as a firewall. the question is how effective that's going to be. there are three polls out that show that cruz is ahead anywhere between 1 and 10 points. i think it does look like cruz is going to win, but we're followed closely by new york, and trump is doing extremely well in new york. >> before we get to tuesday, trump put on the books three rallies around wisconsin tomorrow, and he is having pro superpac ads play within the state. i just want to the play a portion playing at the trump superpac right now. take a look. >> sure, i get some

it just doesn't exist. >> let's see what happens here in wisconsin -- not here in wisconsin -- in wisconsinand then in new york. brian, thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> all right. >>> a reminder, hillary clinton and bernie sanders, they will be facing off for a presidential democratic debate live from brooklyn, new york, thursday, april 14th right here on c. let let's see how many more debates they do after that. we'll be back right after this. our bodies react by over producing six key inflammatory substances that cause our symptoms. most allergy pills only control one substance. flonase controls six. and six is greater than one. flonase outperforms the #1 non-drowsy allergy pill. so you can seize those moments, wherever you find them. flonase. six is greater than one changes everything. whewhat does it look like?ss, is it becoming a better professor by being a more adventurous student? is it one day giving your daughter the opportunity she deserves? is it finally witnessing all the artistic wonders of the natural world? whatever your definition of success is, helping you pursue it,

wisconsin -- know where that is? wisconsin. wisconsinonically legs the rest of the united states in job creation. here's what happened with scott walker, and i could only say this because i couldn't ask for his endorsement. what i did to that poor guy, man. [laughter] [applause] mr. trump: and he is a nice person, but who cares? i don't care if he is nice, i want to make this country rich in good again. ok, so it chronically lags the rest of the country. i am running for president and it is like i'm standing on a motorcycle or something. i've got to tell you, every time i go someplace, bikers everywhere, any bikers and here? -- bikers in here? the bikers love me. and i have always loved the limousine, but you are great people. we had hundreds close to 1000 bikes, and i wondered what was going on. they are out there waiting for me to give a speech, it was a big group, it was incredible, but there had to be 1000 bikes, mostly harleys, in all fairness, i love harleys. and i by warsaw windows. -- i buy warsaw windows. does anybody know about

wisconsin, we were behind by 10 points. the media was saying we couldn't win wisconsin. wisconsin was a perfect state, we were told, for donald trump to win. and if you look at the election results last night, we won across the state. we won women, we won men, we won young people. we won every income group. what we saw is we saw republicans come together and unite, stand united, and that's really what this election is about. it is about unity. if we come together, we're going to win. if we remain divided, we will not, and i couldn't be more encouraged. for the first question, i'll turn to the birthday girl. happy birthday. >> thank you. donald trump last night reacting to the results in wisconsin, he called you a trojan horse being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination. what's your response? >> you know, donald can always be counted on to take the high road and to demonstrate class. if he wants to engage in snults, he's welcome to do so. he gets very angry when the voters reject him. he has now lost in four states in a row. he lost a landslide election in uta

wisconsin. wisconsin just about every media pundit said that cruz could not win in wisconsin. it was a perfect state for donald trump. upper midwest state. not a very large evangelical population. heavily industrial. working class, union members, supposed to be perfect for trump. the day before the election, trump predicted a, quote, big victory in wisconsin. well, instead we saw a landslide. i won the state with 48%. we won men, women -- >> you got the endorsement of governor walker. >> we were ten points up before governor walker endorsed. we were grateful to get his endorsement. what we saw was the party unifying coming together. that's what it's going to take to win the nomination and the general. >> you compared donald trump to the lead character from "the godfather." he needs to understand he's not michael corleone. he needs to stop threatening the voters and delegates. do you think he's threatening voters and delegates? you have no evidence donald trump is doing that. >> i was very glad this morning to walk up that's i didn't find a horse's head in my bed. that was comfo

wisconsin. what ask that do for him and what does it it do for ted cruz if he is the winner? >> well, wisconsin has shaped up as a very important moment,ening part because of everything that has proceeded with donald trump. and if he loses in wisconsinoing to be a big psychological blow and, you know, it's hard to call it necessarily a definitive turning point because there's so much left on the table for him to do. but it's going to be important if he falls well short in wisconsin. >> rose: and for bernie sanders and hillary clinton in wisconsin? what are the stakes? well, the stakes are important in this sense. bernie sanders has had a very good run in caucuses, and he has won them by not just big margins. un, huge margins, i mean 75-25. and it has given him momentum going into wisconsin. wisconsin is a very good state for him or ought to be. it's an open primary. there is a history of populism and progressivism. but he needs a victory in this to accelerate or perpetuate the momentum that he's gotten from the recent caucuses. and then we will go into a very big battle in new york. we haven't seen a big competitive democratic primary in new york since perhaps 1992, or maybe 1988. so this will shape up as a kind of a final battle be

wisconsin tuesday night. in wisconsin, as dana said, the rules are different. however, if you win statewide in wisconsin, if you are the statewide winner you automatically get 18 of the 42 delegates on the table. that's a sizable amount. then there are two more contests very similar to north dakota that will take place before new york. the first is out in colorado. 13 delegates will be chosen on april 9th. they will be unbound and then on april 16th in wyoming, another 14 delegates will be chosen. they will be unbound. these are free agents. they can go for anybody. as we have seen so far, the ted cruz campaign is actively trying to get these delegates on to their side. of course we go to new york, where you are, ashe leigh, 95 delegates on the table. a treasure trove of delegates. if you get more than 50% you walk away with all 95. two big words, momentum and electability. >> add that unpledged word there too. that means there's going to be a lot of surrogates and drinks bought and bloomin' onions served and a lot of effort to try to get people swayed to your side. that's when you come in, mike shields

wisconsin today. hillary clinton campaigning in new york. the day before the critically important primary in wisconsin. why has she moved on past wisconsinonsin thr ys last week. she gave major speeches, one on the supreme court, one with the mothers of the movement on gun violence, another on education. we have been competing very hard in wisconsin. we know it is close. we know it is competitive. our goal is to, you know, maintain our sizable advantage in pledged delegates, which as you just showed on the screen is roughly 240 right now. we have a lot of delegates this month between tuesday the 19th and april 26th. there will will be 700 delegates decided. i said april 26th is the goal line here. we will know at that point who has an insurmountable lead in pledge delegates and who doesn't. >> bernie sanders has won five of the last six contests. presumably i guess you concede they may win in wisconsin tomorrow. that makes new york a must-win state. you have to win hillary clinton's adopted home state? >> he's won five of the last six contest. but you have to remember the number of net delegates doesn't add up to the number of net delega

wisconsin is so critical. republican leaders now think the trump train may be derailed, especially if he loses in wisconsin. >> about wisconsin, walker, one thing that donald trump implied about walker was that he was weak. walker, as you mentioned before survived one referendum, two electi elections, another referendum coming on tuesday. he has stood up in the past to these incredible protests that lasted for months and months bank rolled by the unions, a lot of people were there. this guy is maybe a lot of things but he's not weak. >> no, he's not weak. i tell you something, i had not seen a sitting governor face down an onslaught like that from the unions in recent memory. you want to pay the police officers and the firemen. this went deeper was he was f e facing. he really had to change an entrenched way of governing. i don't know, the point about manufacturing jobs, they're not yesterday's jobs, high paying jobs certainly in the oil patch. you have silicon valley firing on all guns and high paying manufacturing jobs as well. >> silicon valley proves why you don't need manufacturing jobs. you think apple or any of those c
