Hillary clinton and donald trump racked up big victories. Aside from ben carson their other rivals are vowing not to quick. Steve hansalman joining us live from houston. We know anything can happen in politics but donald trump asking like a candidate destined to win the gop nomination. Reporter it looks that way to a lot of the people and it upsets a lot of people.

Our campaign beats donald trump resoundingly. Reporter but cruz is despised by the republican elite hose new weapon is a super pack of running ads. Can conservatives trust donald trump . If we are going to stop him it has to happen now and voters have to be educated. The stop trump effort can anger others. The republicans say look, we know bear than you. We think we have a better solution as to who should be the nominee. Reporter Hillary Clinton took 7 states last night and seems on a path to the nomination. That means we are probably going to win in a landslide. Bernie sanders won four states but he needs 59 of the win. The disarray on the apparent tomorrow when the 2012 donald trump who a few hours later will tangle with rivals including marco rubio in a debate in detroit. Do you think that gop leaders like mitt romney and speaking out against donald trump get behind trump if he becomes the nominee and isnt there a danger to the republicans if they do this. The second thing is a given. Harry reed went on the senate floor and blamed republicans for creating a frankenstein monsor. You can definitely look for every democrat to link every single republican running for anything in 2016 to donald trump. Put that aside. Will the big hitters in the Republican Party through the republicans will look to for guidance, will they line up mine trump. Romney will say a lot of things to keep trump from being the nominee but mitt romney says they will line up behind anybody that gets the nomination. See.

Kelly will undergo medical tests and readjust to life on earth. Scientists will compare him to his identical twin brother to see how scotts body changed in space. Im wondering if now that hes back here the bones all come back together and the ligaments. And he grew two inches. I like being taller. The pants dont fit anymore. Incredible. He missed the fresh air and if he was in florida he would you never knew a cold front was barreling through the area. Missed it. A small temperature impact and maybe added a few clouds. You can see the evidence there of sun toyota. Not much. High clouds continue to stream in. 66degree with a west wind the 6 miles per hour. And again, a Beautiful Day as we have been talking about. Temperatures will be slightly, slightly cooler this evening and certainly overneed. In fact at the start of the day will be below normal. 70s in st. Pete beach and Freedom Center 71 degrees. A few clouds. We havent seen a perfectly clear day depending where you were. We did get sunshine. Strawberry festival looking forward to it. Charlie pride and josh turner playing this tomorrow. 10 00 a. M. , 60s. Just a little bit cooler. 76 degrees at 3 00. A few clouds. Feels nice. As long as they are serving strawberry shortcake.

We could be seeing 80s next week. 64 degrees at 8 00 p. M. 64 at 7 00 p. M. A few clouds left around here and mostly the high wispy clouds and any surface clouds or mid level or lower clouds associated with the passage of the cold front are well down to the south. 72, Tampa International and north to northwest, thats an indication of the wind shift that would occur in the afternoon with the front. 69, seminal and Treasure Island 71 and 79 barto and 75 in lakeland and 77 sarasota. You can see the High Pressure is the big feature behind the front. Try to make out a cloud or two along the boundary. We saw a thinline of clouds mostly to the south across most of the bay area. These high wispy clouds from the west can feel the sky up. Clearer skies to the north closer to the center of High Pressure. The wispy clouds to the south. They came in passing the front but no precipitation. We had a slight chance for today but not many drops of precip. This evening, the front will continue to move south with lingering clouds and High Pressure building in the area. Thursday morning feeling cooler again in the 40s and also in the 50s as we get to thursday afternoon, a few clouds will return here with near normal temperatures but still a milder day. On friday, another weak cold front moves our way like this one. Not a big deal although a slightly better chance of seeing a shower. We think that will come in the morning. Probably before most people even get going through the day. So the showers coming in early and pushing further to the south setting up a nice afternoon on friday with the are looking at lots of sunshine. 73 friday and 74 degrees for saturday. Overnight low temperatures take a dip. You can see saturday and sunday but makes for great afternoons with the high temperatures back up in the mid and upper 70s. A nice warm weekend and nice forecast. Long term prepare yourself for the temperatures to shoot back up there tuesday and wednesday in the 80s. Could be mid80s some of the midland areas.
