And connecticut. Bernie sanders won rhode island. Clinton looking to you knunify tonight. Whether you support senator sanders or me theres more that unites us than divides us . We all agree wages are too low and inequality is too high. That wall street can never be allowed to threaten main street. We should expand social security, not cut or privatize it. She may face an uphill battle as she works to win over supporters for sanders. On the republican side, donald trump walks a narrow path to the republican nomination. He scored a decisive victory tonight in connecticut, maryland, pennsylvania and rhode island. Mr. Trump now says he has delivered knockout blows to senator cruz and governor kasich. I use the analogy of the boxer. When the boxer knocks out the other boxer you dont have to wait for a decision. Thats what it is. And thats what happened tonight, last week in new york and thats whats been happening throughout. We have millions more votes, millions more than cruz. We have millions more than kasich. I mean kasich, now i guess he was one in 417 seen now he is one in 46. The boxers remain in the ring and dont seem to be going anywhere. To connecticut today there was a huge turnout. One newspaper reporting 52 of the people in greenwich, connecticut, turned out to vote. That compares to 14 when mitt romney was the nominee in 2012. Joining us is j. R. Romano. Thank you for joining us this Early Morning hour. Mr. Trump says, as you heard, hes the presumptive nominee and it is time for cruz and kasich to drop out. Do you think he is and should they leave the race. It is part of the primary process where every candidate in a fight probably until the end end. You know, many people are looking at you have to get the magic number. I think tonight was a substantial victory for donald trump and it will impact and have an impact in the primaries Going Forward. Do what do you ascribe the victory . Almost 60 in your state. The nation has to understand here in connecticut we have government that implemented many policies that clinton would like and it destroyed our economy and were frustrated here. I think you are seeing donald trump having captured that frustration and anxiety republicans came out strong to make a statement. It is time we are looking for new leadership, someone that will make decisions and lead us in to prosperity once again. We see all too well what democrats do when they are in control. You hit one of the main points. Look at this graphic in which it shows the economy is the number one issue in connecticut on the minds of connecticut voters when they voted. Immigration is only 12 . The economy and jobs is 45 . Terrorism even in an area hit by 9 11, 70 Government Spending. Mr. Romano you are talking about greenwich, connecticut. Thats home of the wall street bankers, hedge funders the richey rich, hedge fund type millionaires the Country Club Republicans and they are concerned about the chip and going for donald trump, according to the incredible turnout in greenwich. It goes beyond greenwich. We are diverse in the state. I know the rest of the nation thinks of it as just greenwich. We have Blue Collar Workers that voted today. And so many people impacted by poor Economic Policy that dan malloy that will probably god forbid Hillary Clinton becomes the president , dan malloy will end up in her cabinet. Hes an awful governor. I want to point out to the National Audience hes the democratic governor of connecticut. In the time we have left, Bernie Sanders did well. Four points or so from Hillary Clinton. Why do you think he almost got her in connecticut . Well, i think, Hillary Clinton is such an unlikable, untrustworthy candidate based on her long legacy of inconsistency and lack of leadership that shes being rejected by a large swath of democrat voters because, you know, shes shes not i dont think that people think she can win the general election. Do you think she could win connecticut. Donald trump is in eight points of Hillary Clinton after hundreds of millions of dollars of negative advertising against him and he is within eight points of her and that is without bernie taking a shot at her in connecticut. So i think connecticut is a prime state of the election. We thank you for joining us in the early morn ing hours. A spectacular night for your state. Well see what happens as we go forward. Thank you. Thank you. Of course, connecticut has a great independent senator lieberman is a democrat and became an independent. Was reelected to the last term as an independent. Connecticut has quite a history and astounding what happened in the swath of greenwich, Fairfield County where all of these wealthy people voted for donald trump or some for Bernie Sanders. We will talk more about those independent and unaffiliated voters as we go to rhode island. The republican primary, one of the states swept by donald trump could independent unaffiliated voters have been the key to his win . Joining us on the phone is brandon bell, chairman of the states Republican Party. Are you there . I am. Thank you so must have. Doing great tonight. A big night for donald trump at least sweeping five states. You are saying theres an unprecedented number of voters that turned out in rhode island. Tell us about that. It is fascinating. You look back. We have 75,000 registered republicans here. We are a semi open primary as you know. The largest swath of voters here are unaffiliated. I want to say theres 380,000 unaffiliated and 385,000 democrats. To want wed had 61,000 plus show up for the republican primary. So put that in to perspective, in 2000, mccain versus bush, the total in that primary, the total vote was 35,000. Donald trump, he, himself eclipsed that number by receiving 39,000 votes tonight. Thats amazing. Its incredible. What do you think resonated with all of these voters and brought them out today . I think its quite insurgency against the status quo. We have an unpopular governor whos a little after her first year. She hasnt delivered. Shes got an elitist establishment attitude here. Shes very much like Hillary Clinton, as a matter of fact. Shes, you know, had a lot of problems with transparency, accountability. Thats the problem, some of the problems that plagued Hillary Clinton. It just so happens, that stood with bill clinton the last week. Entire democratic establishment here, our congressional delegation, pott of our senators and congressman who are democrats go with Hillary Clinton. All of the super delegates are with Hillary Clinton and she got whooped tonight by Bernie Sanders. One and only state he won out of five. Absolutely. I attribute that very much to popularity of our governor, the lack of jobs, lack of manufacturing in this state. You know, its a real issue. The economy, huge issue as it is in so many others. I want to ask you about rhode island being a sanctuary state, immigration was very important. It really is. One of the topics in the general assemblys hands right now, that i believe the governor supports is drivers licenses for illegals. Thats a big issue here. Donald trump really capitalizes on an issue like that. A lot of people dont think of rhode island as having big immigration issues but thats a big issue for people here. That issue resonates very much so with folks when they are looking to donald trump. I think economy and jobs are the number one issue, but, you know, certainly because we have such problems we are always last out of a recession here in rhode island. Its been a huge focus. People are really rallying against the worst economy in new england. The trex of the state. Our governor right now is at a 31 approval rating. Thats like two days ago. A poll that was produced. 6. 5 think she is doing an excellent job. Thats pretty bad. As we wrap up up, this was, as we mentioned, one state in five that independent voters, unaffiliated voters could participate. Do you think it is an indication of what will happen moving forward with the rest of the primaries in terms of how well donald trump did in your state with independents . I do. I think its really its a really big challenge. In terms of i think that if donald trump is the nominee, i think independents will play a part regardless. So Going Forward we have some really antimoving the economy forward laws enacted here. Tolls on trucks, things of that nature and i think a candidate like mr. Trump or senator cruz and governor kasich will capitalize on that. We will see what happens. Brandon bell joining us. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Thank you so much. More on the democratic race. Hillary clinton, as you know, her path to the democratic president ial nomination appears clearer than ever on the. She won four of the states but Bernie Sanders and his supporters still put out one win, that in rhode island. Tonight, its a small state but made a statement. We heard from the states republican chairman. Lets check in on the democratic contest with lauren green who is joining us with details. Reporter as you said, Hillary Clinton won big tonight, taking the biggest prizes but it wasnt a clean sweep. Clinton won four of five state primaries in pennsylvania, delaware, maryland and connecticut. Bernie sanders won in rhode island with 55 of the vote. Although clinton is short of clinching the democratic nomination, statistically she is virtually assured of getting the needed delegates. Here how it is stacking up. 2383 are needed to win the nomination. Clinton kept her ire on the gop opponent donald trump who had accused her of playing the woman card. Well, if fighting for Womens Health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, than deal me in clinton showed a shift in strategy against her adversary Bernie Sanders almost appealing to his supporters sensing the need to heal the political and philosophical divide. Listen. I applaud senator sanders and his supporters for challenging us to get unaccountable money out of politics and greater emphasis to closing the gap of inequality. I know together we will get that done. Senator sanders gave no sign of giving up his quest as mrs. Clinton pull aid head. Speaking to a crowd of 6500 in west virginia, Bernie Sanders said he was in a better position to beat trump. In a general election, everyone, democrat, independent, republican has the right to vote for president. You know what, those folks and independents all over this country will be voting in november for the next president of the United States. Hillary clinton is less than 300 delegates away from securing the democratic nomination. She only needs to win less than 19 of the remaining delegate and uncommitted super delegates. Bernie sanders would need 1 of the remaining delegate and uncommitted super delegates. Eric . Of course, lauren, the rhode island primary was the only one that had an open primary and sanders is historically thats his advantage, the open primary. Thats his point. Worked for him tonight. We will see how it goes moving forward. Joining us now the bureau chief of talk media news judy miller. Her book the story, a reporters journey is out on paper back and the executive Vice President of jamestown associates. Thank you for joining us. Good to see you again. Trump completes a fivestate sweep. Every county in every single state. Clinton goes home with four. What are your thoughts on what happened today . You know something, last september i ran in to a prominent democrat who said to me they wanted to run against trump. I thought to myself, be careful what you wish for. Its not going to be the easy path. I think he is the presumptive nominee and it isnt going to be the easy path that the democrats would like. I think that what was striking about tonight is that donald trump beat his competition by more than Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders. I mean, it is a huge, huge night for donald trump. He seems to be crossing over the 36 of the Republican Base that we thought he had in to 67, 70 territory in some states. Even moderate republicans chose donald trump over kasich. Which is an astonishing. Good night for trump. No doubt for trump, the story is the magnitude of the win. You mentioned at the top he won every county in stafrt by the time every vote was cast. That is virtually unprecedented. Not only did he perform better than Hillary Clinton did against Bernie Sanders he did better than mitt romney did in these states when he was running and he was at that time considered the presumptive nominee. Thats another big score for trump. You mentioned to eric when you talk about connecticut. Fairfield county, vermont, montgomery county, pennsylvania, montgomery county, maryland, High Education levels. Very affluent, suburban communities. Trump is winning across the board and its beginning to end the idea that he has this ceiling. Tonight he came close to or exceeded 60 in three of the five states. Crossed 50 in all but also breaking through the idea that the only types of supporters hes able to win are poorly educated, lowincome whites. Its clearly a much larger coalition aligning behind him. One shows people consider themselves most conservative went for trump and not for cruz. What does this mane next . We go to indiana, out west, you think that would be cruz country. You are dealing in the, you know, in the amtrak area. You are dealing with conservative doesnt necessarily mean socially conservative and cruz came off as socially conservative which is not popular in this neck of the woods. I think the cruzkasich alliance or collusion, as donald trump would call it lasted less time than Donald Trumps makeover. Looks like it backfired big time. Both immediately backfire and donald trump announcing he wasnt going to change. Why should he change . Everything he is doing seems to be working. The poll results would suggest he is right. Was he the one i heard say you dont change the quarterback of the team if tur heading to the super bowl and winning all along. In that respect certainly. Lets keep our eye on the fact in pennsylvania, where trump scored a major win, 54 of the 71 delegates are uncommitted. Lets see what the newly formed team of Paul Manafort and others is able to do in trms of getting these uncommitted delegates who are not necessarily bound by the results of the state to vote or support 27 of those, thats more than double, more than half. Im not a math major, a big chunk, are for trump. You think they will stick and my final question is, what does this mean next . What does it mane for indiana next week and as we go out west, as i said, it is supposedly more cruz territory in i was in ohio over the weekend and its shocking that governor kasich has not done better in pennsylvania and indiana, which should be his home state given it is next to the great state of ohio. Also, i think that, you know, when you have the kind of build up now, the momentum that you have, its going to give trump a huge leg up in the state like indiana where he wouldnt normally have been strong. I think that he does pick up themes simply as he goes along and all of the things people are saying about him have proven not to have sway with the voters. F he wins indiana does the he get the nomination. It is predicated on indiana. If trump can take the momentum as judy suggests in to indiana it makes it virtually impossible. If cruz wins indiana still has south dakota, montana, nebraska, other state he can pile on his delegate count that could go toward the goal of deprooifing trump of 1237. The big prize is california. And new jersey where donald trump seems to have a lot of support. Yogi berry said it aint over until it is over. Up next, i want to ask our panel why they think there is a difference between what is going on with democrats and republicans in terms of who should drop out and who shouldnt.
