11 point double digit jump on the onetime canadian. Bernie sanders looks headed for daily double on american politics. Way up in New Hampshire already. The poll out tonight has him at an outstanding 51 in iowa to Hillary Clintons 43 . 50 usually means gold in politics. We will get to bernie and hillary next and dig deep. First this wild situation where trump is standing for many reasonable Establishment Republicans as the last stand against the menacing cruz. There is an old expression about how you treat people and how you get treated by people because of it. What Goes Around Comes Around. Ted cruz is getting his own treatment by other republicans. Some he has called liars, people like john mccain who wont give cruz the minimum regard of being constitutionally eligible. They just dont like cruz. Bob dole told the New York Times the party would suffer cataclysmic. And here is what dole told my colleague last month. Could you support ted cruz if he ends up with the nomination . Well, i
It appears that path has been foreclosed. No. I am not suspending our fight for liberty.

The Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus has made his decision. He tweeted donald trump will be the Presumptive Republican nominee. We all need to unite and focus on defeating Hillary Clinton. Thats the chairman of the party giving him the nod. The victory in indiana tonight came with an ugly final strike by the frontrunner. Trump repeated a nationalen choirer peace said that cruzs father had ties with president john f. Kennedys assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and political fact, a fiery response
Well, were watching a barn burner of a race in kentucky. It is unbelievable. With more than half of the vote in, the race is too close to call with a difference of just, over, get this. Not , votes, 36 votes separating the two candidates. Some votes, a lot of them love to be counted. Lets go to steve. Weve seen the lead change hands four times in the last four minutes. I can tell you what has been driving. Maybe five minutes ago. Bernie sanders leading by 1,000 votes statewide and a big dump of votes, this is jefferson county, louisville, Hillary Clinton is leading by a demanding margin here. The 57 in. We got a big dump. Clinton leading by 10,000 votes. If you play this out, if it stays at about this spread for the rest of the vote as it comes in, Hillary Clinton will probably pick up, will net probably an additional 7,500 votes. If it stays at this current pace at 60 in. Think about that. If she were to net an additional 75,700 votes 75 votes that would put her into the lead by 7,500

We just took the press credentials away and i love it. We just took the press credentials away from the dishonest Washington Post. I said, why should i have people following me around, sitting up there like big shots, and they write very untruthful stories . Sharyl attkisson on whether trump should be retaliating against Media Outlets he finds unfair. Plus bill hemmer on covering orlando. How journalists cope with ter
Thats Independence Hall behind us where it all began. Im he Chris Matthews with a special edition of hardball live. Day one got off to a rocky start as weve been talking about after leaked emails from the Democratic National committee threatened to over shadow tonights theme that america is united tonight. In this head line speech this evening or later tonight, Bernie Sanders said Hillary Clinton must be the next president. Hes proud to stand with it. It was a forceful speech. This election is about which candidate understands the real problems facing this country. By these measures any objective observer will conclude that based on her ideas and her leadership, Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States. Hillary clinton will make an outstanding president , and i am proud to stand with her tonight. Thank you all very much. Well, thats former president bill clinton up in the balcony there.
