This morning, rigged, corrupt. Those words from donald trump and directed from his own party and nominating process. Today, the republican frontrunner heads to new york blasting the party system of the delegates to the convention in cleveland. That was one big thing we heard from him overnight in albany. Trump had words for Hillary Clinton. He expects her to be the democratic nominee despite her being guilty as hell of mishandling classified emails. Lets bring in sara murray with the Trump Campaign. Reporter good morning, john and michelle. Donald trump is not backing down on the criticism of the republican nominating process. He stumbled in colorado and louisiana. Speaking here in albany to a crowd of thousands, he suggested to them the system is rigged. So we have a rigged system. In colorado, they were going to vote. You is saw whats happening in colorado. One of the big things. Its a fix. Because we thought we were having an election and a number of months ago they decided to do it by, you know what, right . Right . They said well do it by delegate. They will do it by delegate. Its not nice. The delegates were all there all waiting. The head guy. In fact, one of them tweeted out today or said today by mistake something to the effect, see, never trump. Look what we did. If i go to the voters of colorado, we win colorado. So its a crooked system. Reporter the reality is when donald trump was up against ted cruz in louisiana, he did win, but narrowly. To see ted cruz out organize him behind the scenes in the state conventions. That is something the Trump Campaign hopes to rectify. Trump gave us the general message hitting Hillary Clinton hard from the stump here in new york. I dont think the emails will take her down because she is protected by the democrats. It would take anybody else down. She is being protected by the democrats, which is a disgrace. She will have to live with that when she runs. Everybody knows she is guilty as hell. Her whole life has been a big fat beautiful lie. Reporter that shift hitting Hillary Clinton harder about her email scandal and past is a strategic one for the campaign. They are inching closer to the nominee and they want to prepare to take on clinton. Thank you, sara. Reince priebus fired back overnight at trumps criticism. He went on twitter. Look at this tweet. The rules were set last year. Nothing mysterious. Nothing new. The rules have not changed. The rules are the same. Nothing different. Interesting. Who is getting under whos skin . In an interview, donald trump is thinking ahead. He offered up possible choices as a running mate if he gets the nomination. He mentioned john kasich or marco rubio. Both men said they have no interest in being vice president. Wisconsin Governor Scott walker is someone donald trump mentioned. He said i literally just heard it in the car and laughed. It is interesting to hear that after the things said about me a couple weeks ago. Scott walker supported head cruz ted cruz. Now Donald Trumps whining and cursing. Campaigning late last night in california, cruz touted his victories over trump. You may have noticed that when donald loses he gets very unhappy. He yells and screams and stamps his foot. He curses and yells and insults anyone nearby. Look, as we know in the state of california, wine is something best served with cheese. You hear that lively crowd. No Campaign Events for cruz today after his west coast swing. One sign that cruz is looking beyond the New York Primary where he is third in the polls is he has not been in new york since last thursday. The only stop in new york is tomorrow for cnns town hall after an event in pennsylvania. In hours, Governor John Kasich is billing a major speech in new york city. The governor previewed that address on the cnn town hall last night. The speech is two paths. He says it stokes peoples fears instead of his path. He sees a clear route to winning the republican nomination. That clear route goes through a muddy contested convention where delegates would choose him because he is the only nominee who can beat Hillary Clinton. Well, its a scrum. Look, we dont know who all the delegates are going to be. They will be hard working republicans. Some elected officials or former elected officials. Ward healers and all this. A bizarre process. Im not in the middle of it. I have to prepare for people like you and i do town halls and all the things that i do. This was the first fight night of the threenight town hall. It continues tonight with donald trump and his family. Melania and ivanka and his sons on stage answering voter questions. Tomorrow night, ted cruz and heidi cruz. All live here in new york. 9 00 p.

The two democrats slamming for positions they once took on immigration and fracking. I started co sponsoring the dream act in 2002 or 2003. I consistently did that. Senator sanders, by contrast, was supporting vigilantes, minutemen on the border. Secretary clinton supported fracking throughout the world to reward Companies Like chevron and halliburton and conocophillips. That is unacceptable. Sanders took aim at republican frontrunner. Cnns Jason Carroll was there. Reporter Bernie Sanders wrapping up his speech in buffalo drawing a crowd of thousands. He is still meeting some of his fans who came out tonight. As the race heats up with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, they are sharpening attacks on experience and judgment. Sanders saying despite the polls, he has the momentum. During the rally in buffalo, he drew distentiinctions on himseld clinton. Income inequality and trade and Campaign Finance reform. He saved some of his strongest criticism for donald trump. Many americans are worried about the possibility of donald trump becoming president of the united states. It aint going to happen. We will not allow a donald trump to divide us up by insulting mexicans and latinos. By insulting muslims. By insulting women. Reporter sanders also criticizing trump for heading up the birther moment against president obama. Sanders says despite the polls showing him trailing behind Hillary Clinton, he points to another poll. In a match up with himself and trump, he says in at least two polls, he beats trump.

Nick, you spoke to these men facetoface. Reporter yes. It tells you something about how brutal isis have been perceived in southeastern afghanistan. A place ruled by decades of war. The two men who used to be taliban fighters were disgusted by beheadings. They were put into a camp and they were sickened by that and they chose to defect away from isis. We have seen since early last year, isis move into the east of the country. Many accuse them of being foreign and often from pakistan. They play on disputes from the taliban ranks to get a foot hold. U. S. Drone strikes came in to try to push them back. That seems to have predominately worked, but these defectors left because their goals isis pursuing were not the same. Now remarkably, these taliban men were at one point target of u. S. Air power. Now they cheer on u. S. Drones attacking isis even if their villages and former homes. They want to see isis wiped out. It is such a mess this war. Isis were a damaging and new complication in the crisis. U. S. Drone power seems to be making a substantial dent in them, but still there to the point where the Radio Broadcasts to appeal to tomorrow to their side was wiped out by u. S. Air strike. Locals appear to hear them back on the air. They are dented and revolting. Many afghans away from them. They are an added complicatioco. They are a distraction. Now the taliban declared their fighting season opening today. Should focus more on the longer insurgency. That is the taliban which is taking more territory. Thank you, nick.
