Hoosier state they may not be able to stop him at all. Trump and cruz engaged in a bitter and Stunning Exchange today. Every time you think this race cannot get any more ludicrous, it does. It started this morning when trump cited a bizarre and uncorroborated report i use the term report loosely in the National Enquirer, the supermarket tabloid, which has endorsed trump and published by a friend of trump launching smear after smear against cruz and his family. Think story shows a photograph from 1963, with a man soon to be standing with jfk assassin. It suggests the man is cruzs father, raphael. The problem is theres no proof na the photograph is cruzs. Dad and cruzs dad says its not him. Mr. Trump called in to the fox morning show and said the following his father with was Lee Harvey Oswald prior to you know, shot. I mean, nobody even brings it up. They dont even talk about that. That was reported and nobody talks about it. What was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death before the shooting . I cannot believe i need to say the follow, here goes, there is no corroborated evidence that ted cruzs father ever met Lee Harvey Oswald or any other president ial assassin. We, in the media, dont talk about it because theres no evidence of it. There is contrary evidence, well of about the picture was taken, raphael cruzs sister was brutally beaten by castro forces and raphael cruz denounced the regime. Any suggestion that cruzs father played a role in the kennedy assassination is ridiculous. And, frankly, shameful. Now thats not an antitrump position or a procruz position. Its a protruth position. Cruz, for his part, is in the middle of two the work weeks of the campaign, having been clobbered in primaries, not to mention having made campaign missteps. Today, went after donald trump in his harshest remarks to date. List. Donald trumps a serial philanderer and he boasts about it. This is not a secret. Hes proud of being a serial philanderer. I want everyone to think about your teenage kids. The president of the United States talks about how great it is to commit adultery, how proud he is, describes his battles with venereal disease, his own personal vietnam but boasts about his infidelity, he boasts a lie about me and my family, attacking my family, accuses others of doing what he is doing. Ill tell you, as the father of two young girls, the idea of our daughters coming home and repeating any word that man says horrifies me. That is not who america is. And i would say to the hoosier state, the entire countrys depending on you. Joined by our special election day panel right now. But were going to begin tonight with jim acosta, hes at trump headquarters, in new york. Jim . The Jfk Assassination . Really . Reporter yeah, jake, this campaign United Statesis a mystn a riddle inside an enigma. The Trump Campaign feels like its a huge win, exactly like that huge with a y for the gop frontrunner in response to the testy reaction from ted cruz that was offered up earlier today. The Trump Campaign feels it throws cruz off of his game. Just as the senator was trying to paint trump to be unfit as president. The real estate was able to fire off a statement that cast cruz as desperate and flailing. The Trump Campaign has not provided any evidence to us to back up the claim that cruzs father was somehow involved in the kennedy assassination. Cruz swore he would do something he would never do, and thats getting in a cage match. Whether it be marco rubio, lindsey graham, jeb bush, so on. Now for the primary itself later on this evening, well get returns coming in the Trump Campaign believe a convincing win makes the candidate a presumptive nominee. They wont hit the magic number of delegates but point out the math is getting easier week by week. One trump source told me they believe they will hit 1400delegate goal they set a few weeks ago. They feel like that goal is within reach at this point. Jim acosta, with the Trump Campaign. Sunlen serfaty with the Cruz Campaign in indianapolis tonight. This has been a ruffle couple weeks for cruz, colossal losses the fiorina announcement of a running mate didnt do as much as he hoped. He really needs a win. How are they feeling . Reporter well, jake, its quite clear that the Cruz Campaign is feeling anxious going into tonight. Theres a striking shift in tone coming from ted cruz himself, really sensing the urgency of the moment, moment tonight that his campaign does face. It was a remarkable press conference as you guys have been talking about today with senator cruz, feeling unshackled in this moment, clearly frustrated by donald trump. Really feeling at liberty to unload litany of charges going against donald trump. Now, Cruz Campaign official tells me that fe loses here tonight he does intend to continue on with his campaign. Another cruz official telling me they are going leave everything on the field going forward. Intrinsic in that statement United States admission of a rough road that they have ahead, that of course determined how well they do here tonight. The Cruz Campaign already trying to announce Campaign Stops in the future. They Just Announced senator cruz will be campaigning tomorrow in nebraska and washington state, two states going forward. Of course that intended to send a message we are going on. Sunlen serfaty in indianapolis with the Cruz Campaign, thank you. Joining me here for the hour, panel, david gergen, served as president ial adviser for four president s, senior political reporter niamalika henderson, john king, chief political analyst gloria borger, trump supporter, Kayleigh Mack kninny, trump supporter jeffrey lord, white house political director for Ronald Reagan and last, but not least, democratic strategist donna brazile, thanks one and all for joining me. John, a man who endorsed ted cruz, former governor pete wilson said, i believe today, if cruz does not win indiana thats going to make the whole road much much more difficult especially california, true . First, let me endorse the protruth position. Appreciate. How quaint of you to try Something Like that. Yes, it does. The Republican Party is preparing like it or not, those reluctantly embracing donald trump, those who will never embrace donald trump, they believe to be step forward as presumptive nominee of the Republican Party. He cant clinch with math but ted cruz in every way possible said indiana was his fire wall. They think from a math perspective, more from psychology, if trump wins but a healthy margin, it is over. Over. Watch republican money for candidates to dry up, watch republicans take that money, try to get it into house and senate race because the fact you started this program with talking about Jfk Assassination and conspiracy theories, i asked a strategist everybody if trump is your nominee what do you give a house or Senate Candidate . Who words, run away. Run away. And locally. If you cant support trump all the time, i was told that youve got to run like youre running for sheriff because theyre now assuming that trump is going to be the nominee. Look there are other republicans to point out republicans say, no, embrace him, hes the candidate. It depends where you are. For cruz, to get back to your original point, this is an extension political moment here for kasich as well, i might add. Some say he should have had that existential moment. They say theyre continuing on to the convention. If they do that, it will be from a position of weakness and thats a tough place to say to super delegates who kind of look at this and say, all right, maybe never trump, now its maybe trump, maybe we ought to get bond the bandwagon. Talking with a never trump person, the money they were hoping for did not come in. Exactly. Kayleigh, i want to play more of ted cruzs remarkable press conference earlier today and get your response. Lets play that tape. Im go tell you what i really think of donald trump. This man is a pathological liar. He doesnt know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth. And in a pattern straight out of a psychology textbook his response is to accuse everybody else of lying. He accuses everybody on that debate stage of lying. And its a mindless yelp whatever he does, he accuses everyone else of doing. The man cannot tell truth but combines it with being a narcissist. A narcissist at a level i dont think this countrys ever seen. Donald trump is such a narcissist that barack obama looks at him and goes, dude, whats your problem . He is lying to his supporters. Donald will betray his supporters on every issue. If you care about immigration, donald is laughing at you and hes telling the money elites he doesnt believe what hes saying hes not going to build a wall, he will betray you on every issue. Donald trump is a serial philanderer and he boasts about it. This is not a secret. Hes proud of being a serial philanderer. I want everybody to think about your teenage kids. The president of the United States talks about how great it is to commit adultery, how proud he is, describes his battles with venereal disease as his own personal vietnam. Wow, tell us how you really feel, right . What do you make of that. Its interesting to me because, despite all of the things that ted cruz claims, hes a bad guy, philanderer, liar, two of the people have either endorsed him or tacitly supported him. Ben carson, endorsed donald trump. Mike huckabee didnt endorse him but his daughter works for him. These are evangelicals that should be endorsing cruz. Rather than doing that, theyre support be donald trump. What has donald trump done to get more republicans in the history of the republican nomination to get on board with him. I predike hell have the most votes than any republican nominee. The Jfk Assassination charge, crazy. I made that clear at the start of the show. Howevers a question. Did ted cruz take the bait . I dont think so. Listen, when your fathers under attack, i think you have to defend him. When youre wife has been under attack by the National Enquirer its a good thing to defend them. The Trump Supporters dont like it when somebody gives trump a dose of his own medicine. Chris is being tame there considering all of the things that donald trump has thrown. I dont know. No, no, considering everything thats been thrown at him, not only by trump but his campaign, social media people, this has been very nasty, and ted cruz has acted with a lot of integrity. So, this really gets to the main problem with trump. This is how hes acting when hes winning. This is how he acts when hes winning. What does he act like when hes losing . Im terrified to see. This is a problem, trump is not unifying the party. 4 he can stand next to ben carson but hes not a man of integrity through osmosis. People cant stand in line and say im going to follow that guy when youre spreading National Enquirer tabloid trash. Since we brought jfk into in is i hate to confess to the gray hair, watching ted cruz, november of 1962, Richard Nixons last press conference, he lost a difficult race for governor of california against all advice, he descended to the ballroom of the hotel in los angeles. He had his 5 00 shadow and he went in those days for what passed for nuts, ending up with the famous line, gentleman, this is my last press conference, you wont have nixon to kick around anymore. It was emotionally off the charts. I would suggest, if senator cruz ever wants to be president of the United States, this kind of stuff, not just senator cruz, but to everybody who runs for president , governor kasichs Campaign Manager sent out a tweet calling him a liar. The Kasich Campaign super pac put out a commercial with his nose going around and around calling him a liar. This is what goes on in president ial campaigns and youve got to show ability to be steady, calm well come back. Amanda, were coming back. A video thats gone viral, 1400 workers told their jobs are gone. The best way to stay competitive to move production to monterrey, mexico. [ bleep ].

Aw, and it tastes good, too. We can provide the right care, right at home. Welcome back to a special edition of the lead. We are fewer than two hours away from when polls begin to close in indiana. A local issue there is looming very large in the primary, airconditioning plant, home to indianapolis, is relocating to mexico. That heartbreaking announcement caught on camera went instantly viral. Best way to stay competitive and protect the business for long term is to move production from our facility in indianapolis to monterrey, mexico. [ bleep ]. Donald trump, among others, has not let voters forget about it. Im the one that brings up carrier all the time. Carriers my baby, i want to do the number on carrier. Im going to tell them, right now im going to get consensus from congress and tax you when the air conditioners come. Stay where you are or build in the United States chris frates, one in five jobs in indiana is in manufacturing. Is the closure of the carrier airconditioning plant, is it influencing how some hoosiers are voting today . Reporter we talked to a couple of dozen voters, majority said this would influence them in a major way. Ones who did have this on their mind, not surprisingly, voted for Bernie Sanders and donald trump. A 78yearold woman who said carriers decision helped her make her decision. Donald trump was saying things that her and her husband were saying in their living rooms. We talked to a younger voter who said that Bernie Sanders anticarrier stance convinced him to vote for sanders. Sanders has been campaigning hard here in indianapolis against the carrier ceo, saying stop the greed and stop hurting the middle clasp so, thats not surprising either. When you look at the turnout here and the polls today, very big turnout here. The officials here telling me that they have seen more people come through the doors than they have in the past years. Weve talked to county clerk as well. Early voting in marion county, which includes indianapolis, up 95 . So, there may be a lot of balance to count just here today 1200 people already cast their vote and we still have a couple of hours left of voting. Lots of votes to cast. Well see how this issue plays out as final votes come in throughout the night. Chris frates, thank you. Joining me chairman of the indiana Republican Party, jeff cardwell. Thanks for joining us. Do flu think Donald Trumps focus on the carrier plant relocating from your state to mexico is resonating with voters heading to the polls today . Well, i think it certainly is resonating. Thats one of the reasons why jobs and Economic Development is so important to hoosiers across the state. What were looking for most with the work that governor pence has been doing across the state of indiana, looking for a partner in the white house. Chris cuomo asked donald trump how he would try to bring jobs back to america. Take a listen. Its simple. Were going to make them pay. Youre not going to take your company, move to mexico, make air conditioners and not have consequences. The consequences are a tariff or a tax. Will that keep jobs in the news. One of the things, as a business leader, donald trump certainly had a lot of experience in leading businesses. A lot of regulation has really driven a lot of companies out of the United States, not only just indiana but across the United States. Is that why carriers relocating . Well, i think thats part of the reason. I mean, you have more than 260 new regulations that have affected that company directly and regulations do matter. And it does increase the cost of doing business and, therefore, you lose businesses, not only in indiana but throughout america. I think we really do need to look at what were doing to our Companies Across the United States with regulations. What about the fact that you can pay people, workers in mexico, much, much less . Well, i think, again, you know, indiana across the United States, we are the country of innovation and efficiencies. We have the talent here all across america. We have the talent in indiana. We can overcome those obstacles by removing some of the restrictions that businesses are facing. Manufacturing especially. I know that youre staying neutral in the republican race until after the republican convention, but today donald trump cited a completely unsubstantiated story in the National Enquirer that attempted to link ted cruzs father to Jfk Assassination, is that okay with you . Im not aware of that particular allegation. Ive been working and running the polls all day. Going around to different election sites. But i can tell you that both teams have had an extraordinary ground game here. Cruz has had a great ground game. Made ten stops yesterday. Donald trump made three stops yesterday across indiana. This is a historic time for people across indiana. This is the first time, in my lifetime that indianas going to have a say in the next nominee for the president of the United States. Were seeing record amount of turnout across state. We could set an alltime record for our state for our primary election. All right. Mr. Chairman, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Next, Hillary Clinton under fire over this were going to put a lot of coal miners and Coal Companies out of business, right, tim . And she says that comment is out of context. How is she explaining it . As she campaigns in coal country. Brecking news, new details about the highly coordinated attack by isis terror ifs. The attack that killed a navy s. E. A. L. In iraq.

Take control of your retirement today welcome back to the lead. The hoosiers are heading back to the polls. Its a a tight race. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders canvasses the state. Tonight the Clinton Campaign telling cnn theyre downplaying a possible victory but looking ahead, focusing on the upcoming competitions including West Virginia where clintons arrival was met with mixed reviews including this candid and rare moment she was confronted by a coal worker over comments that she had made at a cnn town hall in ohio. Heres the original comment followed by the exchange. Im the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring Economic Opportunity using Clean Renewable Energy as the key in the coal country. Because were going to put a lot of coal miners and Coal Companies out of business. I want to know how you can say youre going put a lot of coal miners out of jobs and then come in here and tell its how youre going to be our friend, because those people out there dont see you as a friend. I know that, bo. And you know, i dont know how to explain it other than what i said was totally out of context from what i meant. I have been talking about helping coal country for a very long time and i did put out a plan last summer, and it was a misstatement. Ive never heard that before, donna brazile. Out of context from what i meant. Which i suppose means i misspoke. Sometime you say im going to score three points and end up scoring two. What that was that didnt go in the bucket, didnt go in the ring. She knows how to play hoops what happen shes doing, shes looping around coal couldnt trip shes gone to appalachia. Heres what shes saying, she wants to help create an economy where coal workers and others can transition, you know, to what i call renewable and other sources of energy, thats the plan that she put out last summer. Thats what shes doing in coal country today. Stopping in three different places, not just for votes but i believe she has to explain what is her plan for Industries Like the Coal Companies to transition into 21st century jobs. Thats what shes saying, were not going to forget you. David what did you say . You worked in the Clinton White house, there was tension with West Virginia as well. Done flas right. Her plan to have clean energy will put coal miners out of work, its a good thing she went in there, i didnt fully explain it well, but her problem is that the government and politicians keep promising and dont deliver. We have time after time workers thrown out of jobs because of trade, because of environmental regulations and for a variety of reasons, and we promise them all of this transition aid and youll get good jobs and guess what . It doesnt happen. Why doesnt it happen . The plant, the Green Energy Jobs are in the San Francisco area and not in coal country. I mean, some ways you saw president obama in 2008 and 2012 campaign on the same thing, going to factory towns in indiana, promising to bring in, you know, factories were gone and promising to build factories that would build windmills. Even with the stimulus, promises around transitioning to green energy, it doesnt happen. Theres red tape at local level, state level and federal level. This is i think this is a problem. I think it gets to donald trump. This idea that hes going to bring all of these jobs back, thats what candidates have been promising for years and years and years, theyre going to be able to reverse outsourcing. John, let me go to you. Take a look at relationship the clintons have had with West Virginia, before in 1992 bill clinton won, 48 , 1996, 52 . And the 2008, clinton leaned obamas clock. Yet downplaying expectations in the West Virginia primary, i believe next week, because of these remarks and others. Because of these remarks but because of demographics. A flip from 2008. He she won indiana, the closest state, won over 50 , he had 49 , because in 2008 campaign she was winning smalltown, white, rural voters against the africanamerican candidate, barack obama. In this campaign, senator sanders tended to win in small, rural towns against white working voters. He took a bus tour, poverty tour, promised to help them. Part of it is a role of government, democrats, republicans, washington, mayors, governors to agree, part is delivery. This what is Bernie Sanders appeals, hes clear, he says i will tax wall street and send money to help poor people, other candidates fudge about it. Sanders has been clear. Not that he could ever get it passed but clear about it and thats one of the reason he has appeal. Nobodys passed a budget. If you want money for retraining people and want money for new jobs, youve got to have money to do it. And congress hasnt passed a judge budget in how many years . Ten years. Theres no money to do it. Bernie sanders is the only one who says im not going take this from the budget, im go tax people. Hes more aggressive as environmentalist than she is. If he were being honest he would say, im going to take away some jobs but im going to tax the rich people on wall street so im going to create different and new jobs for you and not depend on government and passing a budget to get it done. All right. Next, breaking news, stunning, new information about how isis forces broke through the front lines to kill a navy s. E. A. L. In iraq. Moments away from the first exit polls that cnn will be able to report. Well be right back. Oudairy or artificial flavors. , so we invented a word that means that. Shmorange and it rhymes with the color of our bottle. Hey, baby, make it your first word baby babble not even close. Reach for the orange, its 100 shmorange our vitamins contain no gluten, dairy or artificial flavors. So we invented a word that means that. Shmorange and it rhymes with the color of our bottle. To help spread the word, we made tshirts reach for the orange, its 100 shmorange hes happy. Ts with him . Your familys finally eating vegetables thanks to our birds eye voila skillet meals. And they only take 15 minutes to make. Ahh birds eye voila so veggie good breaking news. New details about the navy s. E. A. L. Killed by isis in iraq. U. S. Defense official telling cnn the s. E. A. L. Died in a coordinated and complex attack by approximately 100 isis fighters. The s. E. A. L. Is the third u. S. Combat casualty since the u. S. Redeployed forces no iraq in summer 2014. Barbara starr, what more can you tell us about this incident . Heres what we know about what happened on the ground earlier today, about 100 isis fighters punching through peshmerga lines, using vehicles, suicide car bombs, even bulldozers, to punch through checkpoints and get to a peshmerga camp, where these navy s. E. A. L. S were temporarily located as military advisers. They punched through a firefight breaks out. The s. E. A. L. Kill ed in that deadly action. There is no indication that the s. E. A. L. Was deliberatery and uniquely targeted by isis but 100 isis fighters coming upon these Peshmerga Forces. What is so critical now is getting Peshmerga Forces ready and move their front lines forward towards mosul, iraq, a target that the u. S. Wants peshmerga to get to. What does this tell us about the strength of isis in this part of Northern Iraq . What does it tell us about the difficulty of the peshmerga in defending their territory . Jake . The Obama Administration says that u. S. Forces are in iraq to fight isis in a what they call advise and assist capacity. The pentagon announced additional 217 u. S. Troops going to iraq. What is the longterm strategy. What point do we acknowledge we have combat troops, boots on the ground. I dont know a person in uniform that doesnt already say, we are in combat in the u. S. Military. They are sending more. Whether you call them advise and assist or trainers, this is very dangerous territory. And the u. S. Military openly acknowledges that. What they are trying to do on the iraq saide of the border ge the peshmerga and Iraqi Government forces ready to take mosul and on the syrian side, get the peshmerga to retake raqqah. A very tall order. I know youve been saying that, but i know uniform troops say that. I meant when do we call them boots on the ground, when does the Obama Administration acknowledge that we have boots on the ground. Barbara starr. Jeffrey, play a clip here, u. S. Strategy to defeat isis, sure to be a top general election issue, right . I want to play a clip of donald trump and Hillary Clinton reacting to donald trump. Play the tape. Theres isis, i have a simple message for them their days are numbered. I wont tell them where and i wont tell them how. His idea that he, quote, has a secret plan to get rid of isis, that hes not going to tell anybody, i found it disturbing. Now, without referencing Richard Nixons secret plan to end the vietnam war thats very good. You know the historical illusion. Let me scratch that off. Doesnt he need to be more specific . To some degree, im sure he will be, as time moves on. Look, you are about communicating a message here in a campaign, people are not voters out there are not interested, as we are all, 5,000point white papers. They want to know what is the message. His message is, im coming after them, ill do it, ill say ill do it however i do it, in unpredictable fashion. Thats the message. He delivers it, she rebuts it. She is more inclined to the long position papers, et cetera. Thats the difference. And i think thats one of the reasons why he is where he 4 is. But i think you have to have some broad view of ow youre going to maintain u. S. Coalition, how were going to ensure that turkey and others are carrying out their part of the deal, how were going to make the Iraqi Government more functional so that they can also contain isis. I really do believe that you need a white paper, some 37,000 whatever perspective because the American People want to know exactly what is the plan to defeat them . The president has been asking congress to authorize the agreement, the forces agreement, and they havent done so. Yes, we do need a plan we just cant have hot rhetoric. This is why its incumbent on the president ial candidates to talk intelligently about this. One of the reasons the plan hasnt been authorized no one understands what it would be. How can you allocate funds without having a clear plan. Someone lass to come up with a plan to do just that. The middle east policy, its weighing so heavily on voters minds so long. Bogged down in the middle east, told the iraq war is over and silently more troops are being sent there, american troops are being killed and were not at war . We need to get our hands around this. I think jeffreys correct, donald trump will bring out more of what his policy position is. We have a problem in the country we send troops and go out and ahave a press conference and announce these things and theyre watching when we tip our hand and show what were going to do next. Donald trump has a point. He will give more specifics but its correct the message is whats important. People are tired of politically correct wars tired of a president who refuses to utter the line islamic terrorism. David, who has worked in the white house when force has been authorized. What do you make of the debate . I think donald trump is continuing to win votes because he appears strong. People aring looking for a strong man right now. Its also true its been a long tradition in the American Foreign policy, first you commit the nation and then commit the troops. That was the main lesson out of the vietnam war. We go back to the secret plan that never exited. Thats why people are objecting to this. If youre using force go to the country and explain why, what your objective is and what is your exit strategy . Its interesting, at the same time voters want strength they dont want to be bogged down in another war in the middle east. Right. You know, if you look at poll, people are ambivalent. In just the way you describe. And the polling is, we dont want to get bogged down in another war but we need to destroy isis and well do what it takes. Trump gets that, trump gets it. Its one of the seeming contradictions i dont mean to say aha condirection, but his speech, on isis he wants to sound tougher and he says ill be reluctant to commit u. S. Troops overseas, hes trying to take a step back, been more almost rand paul. Niamalika. The latest data behind the race for 2016 as counting down for the close of polls in indiana, more than an hour from now. Coming up next, what to look for tonight. And the first exit poll results just minutes away. How are you supposed to choose one . Simple. You dont. At red lobsters create your own seafood trios, you get to pick 3 of 9 allnew creations for just 15. 99. And with this many new flavors trust me, youll be glad you can try three. Like creamy baked lobster alfredo and grilled chimichurri shrimp and pankocrusted crab cakes bursting with crabmeat. Because some choices are hard, but this one, this ones easy. So hurry in before it ends real is touching a ray. Amazing is moving like one. Real is making new friends. Amazing is getting this close. Real is an animal rescue. Amazing is over twentyseven thousand of them. There is only one place where real and amazing live. Seaworld. Real. Amazing the Bud Light Party believes in change. Thats why bud light has a new look. And we want to share it with everyone. From our national parks. To our furthest shores. Jackpot to your living room. Look under your seats [squeals of delight] still the same refreshing bud light. With a new look. Welcome back to a special election day edition of the lead. Moments away from the first poll results from the exit polls in the make or break indiana primary. Donald trump says its all over tonight if he wins. In a few hours well find out if trump does come out on top. Closing thoughts from niamalika, lets me start with you. I think the thing to look for, after tonight, if trump wins, as polls suggest that he will, is the republican establishment finally looks at the scoreboard and accepts what they see. So far, youve had such ambivalence privately acceptance, no public accepta e acceptance. I think thats telling if you start to see elected officials, republican elected, endorse trump. We havent seen that yet. This is a decisive night and tell us what the road forward will be. Mark salter today or the opposite, yeah. Maybe the opposite happens. Hes no fan. I thought wed be looking whether trump is going to win big. That will be the second thing to look for. How much is his victory tainted by the smear of ted cruzs father. One of the low blows in politics. It straight out of joe mccarthy play book. How do you think its going to come back to haunt him . Weve been seeing comments like this for month. So personal, so far below the belt. I think will are a lot of people might say i will support you but clean. Your act. This is the most Serious Office in the world and you either be an adult and well go with you or be a child and were going have these temper tantrums which have no place in our politics. To davids point, theres incoming through Paul Manafort in the Trump Campaign saying if he wins tonight, if he wins decisively tonight, speak to the country about the general election, speak to the country about Hillary Clinton, speak to the Republican Party about unity. Thats what they want from donald trump. They want him to stand, like secretary clinton did last week, say im the presumptive nominee, speak to the country about the general election. Will he do that . Gloria. Lyin ted cruz and Hillary Clinton and were going to have to see if the Never Trump Movement now kind of shuts down and becomes the probably Trump Movement and start spending its money on those down ballot races so they can save senate and house candidates. Interesting. The two recent polls show trump winning by 15 to 17 points. Im looking to see if perhaps he can reach the 50 line which would be remarkable. He outperforms tonight, looking at presumptive nominee. Youve always got the data. Trumps advisers may want them to talk about party unity. In numerous interviews, yeah it would be nice if the party is united but i dont need to do. I i think trump has laid out his spot and willing to win without major people in the party. Two things, margin, how mar over 50 does he get and secondly endorsements establishment is starting to weaken. They have to to play old fashion human nature be win the winner and see how they turn. Were in the homestretch, tonight is very important for both candidates secretary clinton needs to continue to accumulate delegates. She can see the finish line. Bernie sanders has to continue to find those super delegates not committed so he can close it up. Great panel. First exit polls from indiana minutes away. Cancer. We dont want to think about it.
