Governed by the people come of the people and for the people. Obviously, the people dont count. I believe in fairness, i believe everyone has the same, level Playing Field and it should be that way in every state. This was not a win for ted cruz. This was dirty pool, blocking donald trump. I think it is horrible. Peoples voices arent being heard, the Republican Party is fractured. There will be no Republican Party by the time this has ended. They have about to block tromp in every state from here on in. How is that fair political strategy . Tever happened to the days im dating myself, im 73 years old. I campaigned for john f. Kennedy when i was 17 and cannot vote. I was a tried and true democrat for many years and then switched to the Republican Party. Im just blown out of the woodwork. I have zero faith in the gop party.

He gave us comments about wisconsin, his victory in wisconsin from wyoming. Here is a bit from that speech last night. [video clip] im headed to new york. [applause] about thea little bit office.

We all have an excellent chance to win in oregon and california. [applause] and i think a lot of these superdelegates are going to be looking around them saying which candidate has the momentum . Which candidate is bringing out huge numbers of hugeand creating which candidate can bring out large groups of people . We will win in november if there is a large voter turnout. The mcreynolds and progressives win when there is a large voter turnout. Republicans win when voters are demoralized. This campaign is giving energy and enthusiasm to millions of americans. Host Bernie Sanders talking about the road ahead for the campaign. All eyes turned to new york now because of how many delegates are at stake there. 95 republican delegates at stake. 291 democratic delegates at stake on april 19. The next big primary day after ,hat come in the last big one connecticut, delaware, maryland, pennsylvania and rhode island boat, 229 republican delegates up for grabs that they, 462 delegates for the democrats. Vote, 229sland republican delegates up for grabs that day, 462 delegates for the democrats. Go ahead, darrell. Mistakesrump made some at the start of all this. He made some mistakes like with taking off the week before the wisconsin primary and allowing the media to control them. The wisconsin vote come if you look at the exit polls come it doesnt make any sense. The wisconsin vote, if you look at the exit polls, it doesnt make any sense. Ted cruz is one of the biggest free traders in washington. He wanted to increase the visas by 500 . He raised more wall street money than any other candidate, including Hillary Clinton. ,e has a foreignpolicy team his foreignpolicy advisers are full of neocons and warmongers. Ted cruz should be easily marginalized as a candidate because he has such a horrible, horrible record. With the Trump Campaign hasnt cruzs talk about ted record on trade, foreignpolicy and his wall street connections and his connections to Goldman Sachs. His wife works for Goldman Sachs and pushed for a north American Union where you have open borders. Ted cruz would not even go after china when it comes to currency manipulation. Why wisconsin would vote for ted cruz doesnt make any sense. You mentioned the exit polls. The New York Times citing exit polling. On the issue of government spending, ted cruz won 51 . Terrorism, ted trumps 50 to donald 36 . We will keep going through the exit poll numbers for you throughout the first hour of the program today. We especially want to hear from wisconsin voters. 2027488003. Where maxndependents is waiting in essex bill, michigan. Caller i think last nights results show bernie is a much stronger candidate. The people are not giving him credit for it. Hillary is a much weaker candidate than a lot of people are recognizing. Whole campaigns is based on her candy sending view toward a lot of the voters condescending view toward a lot of the voters. They dont care what the superdelegates say, they dont care what Debbie Wasserman schultz says or the rich donors say. The voters are sick of the status quo and sick of people like Hillary Clinton that defend the status quo. I think bernie will do well from here on out. If bernie is not the nominee, it will be very hard for democrats to win in november. Heres a few fundraising numbers to sort through. Bernie sanders raise more than Hillary Clinton in march, marking the Third Straight month that his fundraising has topped hers. Raising 109s million to Hillary Clintons 75 million. Hillary clinton before that had straightin three fundraising quarters. Hillary had about one million total donors, Bernie Sanders with about 2 million total donors. Up next in philadelphia, pennsylvania. Republican. 70 er im pretty much everything trump has to say, im against it. It doesnt make sense, but he is right about one thing. He is not being treated fairly by the press. Example, like whats happening is these local television stations are the recipients of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of really vile antitrump adds pulling a lot of viewers because they are so outrageous. Is somethingip that is important to the local television station because it increases the fees they can get for advertising. All that political advertising in terms of fees they get is something that encourages them to air these ads. , all theok at cspan people who carry these local stations who are running these antitrump adds are on cspans board of directors. Cox committeeble, cans, they are getting billions coxansmission fees communications, they are getting billions in transmission fees for these antitrump adds. Host how would you change the system . Do you think there should not be political ads that are run in the Campaign Cycle . You had a guy from the milwaukee sentinel on. Large stakes in local television stations who are broadcasting this antitrump stuff. He is not going to go against his own executives and officers in the milwaukee sentinel. When you introduce the people like this, you have to expose the conflict of interest. You have to also say that your board of directors may have a conflict of interest. Indirectly, they are receiving so much in retransmission fees from the stations airing the antitrump adds. You should investigate this. I looked into it and it looks to me like trump is right. Hes getting a really bad treatment from the press, including cspan. Host how would you fix the system . Should there be no advertising allowed caller i would simply have a caveat, when you, cspan, give coverage to these antitrump adds, whether its his picture z, you have to qualify it and say we have a conflict of interest here. We are going to put it out, but i want you to know that our cspan coverage may not be is probably biased him a to some extent because our board of lamb, susan,ryan you guys are getting 4 billion a year in salaries. Your board of directors getting rich by the antitrump adds swain andand susan this guy, kennedy, are getting billions from them. Host we bring this information to our viewers to let you decide. Thats why we try to have this open forum here. Rodney in booty, maryland. Bowie, maryland. Democrat. Caller as a lifelong democrat, i am a hillary supporter. We had to be realistic. We live in a divided country where many of the proposals from Bernie Sanders would never see the light of day. Congress, they hate government as a general rule. When you look at College Tuition being free and all these other items that Bernie Sanders is not being he is realistic because we live in a divided nation with a Republican Congress that would never pass any proposals. Thats why im sticking with hillary. What troubles me about the trump supporters, 500,000 people who voted for ted cruz yesterday did not have guns to their heads. They decided to vote for ted cruz. I dont understand why whenever trump loses, he blames everyone else except for himself and his message. Thats my comment. Host one other wisconsin paper to show you this morning. Sentinel. E journal shaking things up. June is up next in wisconsin. Independent. Caller good morning. We have this new voter id thing. Im a registered voter, i get to the polls and the guy is flipping through the book and he cannot find my name. He says, you will have to register all over again and stand in the registration line. It was extremely long, so i left. Rightis something not because i knew i was supposed to be in the book. He said they cut off at a certain something or whatever. That was very disappointing. Trumpody is not down on he is right about one thing. ,he constitution is very clear you have to be a natural born citizen. Ted cruz is not. We know the Supreme Court will push around the words in the constitution. A well regulated militia means everyone can have a gun. I dont know where that came from. It is ridiculous. What is going to happen if ted cruz gets the nomination . He cannot be president. We know the Supreme Court does strange things. Im hoping for the best. Drop voter id if they are not going to do it right. That is insane. I had my id, i was supposed to be registered already. God bless us all. A special line for wisconsin voters this morning following yesterdays primaries. 3 is the number for you to call in from the badger state. Jordan in maryland. Line for democrats. Caller i just heard a man call in saying he was a hillary supporter, saying he was impressed with bernie but thought his proposals are too progressive and will not gain any traction in congress. Dont have that negative attitude and dont forget that we have so many congressional seats up for grabs this year. Bernie is so much more authentic than hillary. Just say that he cannot get his ideas passed in congress, so lets both for somebody who may or may not believe the things they are claiming to believe. Hillary is not authentic and i think the penama papers are going to prove that all of bernies about this 1 and the billionaire class are true. A lackason why we have of tax dollars to fund the ideas bernie has because we have so money people hiding their tax dollars and corporations getting government subsidies and hiding their income. We cannot afford ideas like bernie has. They are part of governments all over the world in developed nations and we are running this billionaire class letting this billionaire class tell us we cannot do these things and it is not true and we cannot buy into that. Host jordan in maryland. A few of the exit polling numbers on the democratic side. Sandersclinton dichotomy appeared and result in which the candidate seen as more inspiring more picked sanders, 59 nine in 10 identified sanders as honest and trustworthy. Twice as many democratic voters and said they are excited about what sanders would do in office as seaid the same about clinton. Bernie sanders mining men yesterday in wisconsin. Thats winning men yesterday in wisconsin. Can see Bernie Sanders with wide margins among younger 1829yearolds, he won by 81 . Hillary clinton doing better among older voters. Independents where joe is waiting in north charleston, South Carolina. Caller i would like to respond to brian who had some comments a while back. He made some good points. Is still the best deal going, let me tell you. Washington journal and cspan is the place where people can call in and express their opinions. You might have a personal agenda, but you dont express it. It is a real no spin zone. Host we try, joe. What did you think about last night . They had more republican turnout last night that democrat turnout. What does this mean . It may mean nothing. Ive been following this from the start. Virginia, michigan, florida, had more republicans because of john kasich. Does that spell trouble for the democrats in november . Maybe, maybe not. We know who is responsible for the record turnout. It is donald trump, except for maybe last night. Mean florida will go with their 29 electoral votes go ind in november red november . Ohio tedchigan, cruz beat hillary . I dont think he can. Donald is the main reason people are turning out. If they pull any kind of nonsense at that convention, we will sit home. That is a sad commentary, but it could happen. Young people like bernie. Everyone wants to go to college for free. Im 62 years old and ive never gone to college. With all the millions of people who want to go to college for free, who decides who gets to go . You know everybody is going to apply. You have to come up with a better plan than that. I think this may spell trouble for the republicans in november based on the republican turnout in states that went blue in 2008 and 2012. Barbara is up next in conway, arkansas. Good morning. Caller good morning. Cruznk the only reason ted won last night was because of the super pac putting all those negative ads in and the governor making speeches for him. Everybody is against trump. I am a democrat. But i voted for trump. Because we need somebody in that will do what he says he will do. The republicans that have sat there for eight years and done nothing. Ridiculous. I dont think we need the super
