His competitors at 36 to ted cruzs 22 , john kasich behind them at 12 . On the democratic side Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders 51 to nearly 40 . Joining us now chris wallace, anchor of fox news sunday. On the democratic side especially, it seems like this race is pretty much over. It does. The sanders camp is talking about the path to the nomination in the northeastern states. She has such a huge lead over him, not even including the superdelegates. They are proportional allocation of delegates on the democratic side. None of them are winner take all. If he beat her 5545, may end up with 10 or 15 more delegates. Awfully hard to see how he comes back and is able to close the huge gap she has opened. John delegates have become an interesting characteristic of the republican race. If there is a contested contention, if donald trump doesnt walk in with 237 delegates, those delegates who are normally props as part of the convention will have a huge, interesting role this time around. Exactly right. They are almost all bound by law to vote for the person they were allocated for in the first ballot. Trump if he did well in south carolina, those delegates that are his delegates have to vote for him but if it goes to a second or third ballot the numbers bound by law to continue to support their candidate, i put that in quotes, drops dramatically. In a lot of these cases they had little to do with the picking of the actual delegates, the actual people are chosen and district conventions, state conventions in the state, often times the Party Establishment plays a big role in that, south carolina, big trump victory, but nikki haley who supported marco rubio has a lot of delegates chosen, Lindsey Graham will have something to say, tim scott, if, that is a big if, goes to a second or third ballot, a lot of those delegates become free floaters and have a lot more loyalty to the Party Establishment than they do the person they were initially pledged to vote for, in this case donald trump. John most of those delegates havent been selected. There will be all kinds of attention focused, we are speculating or postulating donald trump doesnt enter the convention with the 1237 he needs. That is right. This means it puts tremendous burden on the campaigns. They have to have ground games in states to pick the delegates because a lot of this will happen at state conventions, ted cruz and donald trump putting together teams to make sure the people pledged to vote for donald trump are actually Trump Supporters and would vote in a subsequent outlet, same with ted cruz, john kasich, in case it does that. John we had the graphic up a couple minutes ago showing him at 12 . What is the motivation to stay in the race if you are at 12 . Good question. Not clear what the answer is. He says i can win the nomination. Even if you were in such a weak position even if they got every delegate outstanding, he wouldnt reach 1237. A completely topsyturvy convention, third, fourth ballot. I was with the Campaign Cowboys on tuesday telling me about 1940, wendell wilkie, i dont think he had any delegates when the convention started. On the sixth ballot he won the nomination. He lost to fdr but things happen. That hasnt happened in half a century. The other part of the argument is could conceivably be the balance of power between ted cruz and donald trump. Whether he wantss to be a running mate or the party platform, if he were the difference he would have a lot of flak. John donald trump is saying if he doesnt get the nomination there are going to be riots, obviously Republican Leadership has to be careful how they handle this from here on. I dont take that at his word. He said a lot of people would be upset and that is putting it mildly. Forget the idea of actual riots in the street. A lot of people supported donald trump. He will going with more delegates than anybody else even if he is short of 1237. He is numb 200 short. If there is a perception the nomination was taken from him, forget the delegates, a lot of voters who supported donald trump, went out in primaries and voted for him, would be very unhappy. If he doesnt get the nomination and has gone in with a lead, the party has to go to great pains to convince them that message has been heard. I am not sure Donald Trumps supporters, they really are zealous in their support for donald trump. Not sure how you would convince him that he doesnt have the nomination stolen. That would be a huge task for the republicans. This is speculation assuming he didnt get the nomination and somebody else did. John have you ever seen a more interesting primary season . 4 people like us, i go further than you do. We have been to a bunch of these. The only other campaign that compares is 1968 when you had Lyndon Johnson and the terrible assassination of bobby kennedy, nixon, the riots. John chris wallace, see you on sunday. Catch this on foxnewssunday. Heather the white house ready for a showdown, senate republicans, the president on wednesday nominated federal appeals court, Merrick Garland hold a vacant seat, there will be no confirmation hearings for him but today garland is Meeting Senate democrats on capitol hill. The very latest from this front. Reporter good morning. Today is the easy part, Merrick Garland will be among friends when he meets with harry reid and patrick leahy. The hard part Going Forward will be trying to find a way to convince republicans to give him a hearing, something they have adamantly vowed not to do until the next president is elected. Last night josh earnest laid out the administrations plan to overcome that, pointing out how republicans previously praised garland. This is someone with a long track record, a track record that has been praised by republicans. Not long ago orin hatch described him as a consensus nominee. Not much has changed except republicans are in the majority in the senate and are prepared to block president obamas nominee no matter who that person is. Things appear to be shifting among a handful of republicans including chuck grassley, who say they would be willing to meet with garland when they return from break. They are quick to say any meeting would be out of courtesy and not a sign of a changing strategy but at least a couple republican senators take a stand against giving him a hearing could quickly change if democrats win the white house. If republicans are not successful in the november election, it i hope we are but if we are not we ought to look at this nomination in a lameduck session. I would rather have a less liberal nominee like Merrick Garland than a nominee that Hillary Clinton if she were president would put forward. Reporter majority of Republican Leadership maintain there will not be any confirmation hearings for any nominee until a new president is elected. Heather Mitch Mcconnell said it is not the person, it is policy. John the deadly attacks in paris, french lawmakers and First Responders reenact the massacre at a concert hall. Left 130 dead across paris last november. Senior Foreign Affairs correspondent live with the latest from london. Back to the blood he seen of isys back to terror for legislators and other officials in paris today. A committee of French Parliament investigating the attacks went to the theater where gunmen burst into a crowded rock concert and killed 89 people, the biggest death toll in one location during that terrible night we all remember. What they are no doubt examining is why it took half an hour for antiterror troops to arrive at the scene, why it took three hours to end the siege. Critics in the months following the attack have said topheavy and badly organized antiterror forces in france, their Response Time and lack of Response Time could have led to a greater casualty toll. Meanwhile Police Continue the search for two terror suspects on the run, they fled the scene of the deadly shootout in brussels we told you about yesterday, four policeman were hurt, one terror suspect killed and now we learn that the algerian man who was killed in that raid by police was in belgium illegally, found with him as you recall, isys material and weaponry, this rate is part of the authorities in belgiums Ongoing Investigation into their role in the same paris terror attacks from last year. Belgium and brussels and important staging grounds. At that with other arrests we told you about yesterday, four people believed to be in the early stages of planning another attack and authorities all across europe still very busy with a terror and isys mission. Heather Strange Development in the case of a michigan man accused in a deadly shooting spree. The suspect is suing his former employer, who he claims is responsible for a rampage that killed six people. Donald trump came out on top in the latest round of primaries but one prominent political analyst says he will come up short. Donald trump told cnn there will be riots if he doesnt get the nomination. Would you be upset if there is a contested convention . Live chat up and running, go to foxnews. Com happeningnow to join the conversation. Heather some crime stories we are following. In mexico, police say these women are facing charges for allegedly aiding and harboring two escaped convict. Investigators say they cracked the case when one of the women, following a three day manhunt.

The former driver charged in a deadly shooting spree is suing his former employer. He said the devil was controlling him when he killed six people and wounded two others last month. John the dust has settled from the critical voting contest, our next guest said donald trump could have generated unstoppable momentum by winning ohio and florida. Now it is clear the brutal battle for the gop nomination will last until june and could lead to a contested convention in july. Lets bring in the center of the university of politics. You have another name for it, share that with our viewers. Titanic tuesday, it was big but like the ship we suspect one candidate would sink beneath the waves, that happened to marco rubio. John he started with so much promise. Timing is everything in politics, it really is. Go back to 2008, at this point in his career he might well have succeeded because he fit the times. You have to be in sync with the spirit of the times. This year for republicans, they were not interested in anybody who first of all didnt have a long resume, anybody associated with the establishment in any way, shape or form. Marco rubio did. That is one or two reasons he did not do as well as he was expected to do. John because he did not win ohio, you think it is quite probable, possible certainly the convention becomes a contested convention in july . It is probable we will go to june 7th, every single primary will matter. That upsets the news and analysis business terribly because i am kidding. We thrive on chaos. We want as much chaos as possible. I cant say that this definitely will result in a contested convention. And solidify a nomination in 40 days between june 7th, the end of the primaries and july 18th when the Republican Convention is gavel to order. It will be a lot of negotiation. They will not be sitting on their hands, they will not be going on vacation. Candidates, staff and others in the Republican Party will try to have a successful convention. That is where trump is in the drivers seat. John what happens . Trump will go to ted cruz or john kasich and say run with me as Vice President and bring your delegates on board . I am talking about negotiations for the ticket but also suggesting there are probably 200 delegates, may be more in the Republican Convention who are not pledged. We focus on democratic superdelegates, there is a kind in the Republican Party too, there are delegates available to donald trump or other candidates. This is not all cut and dried after june 7th. We will not sit there for 40 days waiting for the gavel to come down in cleveland. John the Party Leadership doesnt like to go well into late spring and summer without a clear nominee. They like to have their nominee chosen early so that person can turn his attention to Hillary Clinton who will probably be the democratic nominee. You are saying republicans wont have that luxury this time around. As a famous rock band said you cant always get what you want. That is what they want but they wont get it this year. There are some plus hes to that. The longer Candidates Campaign particularly ones like donald trump who after all has never been a campaigner before this year, the better you are trained the more you learn to respond to the same questions that come up over and over again so it is not as though it is disaster. It can be an advantage under certain circumstances. John buckle up. Thank you. Heather two feet of pain, historic flooding putting thousands of homes at risk. 17 years after the columbine massacre put a spotlight on school violence, we are learning about a new hightech Safety System that can pinpoint the location of gunfire in seconds. And congestion. No other nasal allergy spray can say that. Complete allergy relief or incomplete. Let your eyes decide. Flonase changes everything. Heather historic flooding in texas leaving homes, businesses and street inundated after days of heavy rain. Thousands of homes at risk with evacuation orders. Flooding has impacted 70 or 80 of this area. We have been very fortunate as far as injuries relating to the storm event and evacuation. We have no fatalities. All you can do is pray no one gets hurt. Heather the governor of texas declaring disaster areas across the state. In 2 dozen areas. John a high school near San Francisco is using a Safety System that can zero in on the same location of gunfire instantaneously and relay that to first in sponsors. In 17 years to the day after the columbine massacre in colorado which drew National Attention to growing problems of school violence. Reporter many schools have armed guards and metal detectors for security but more schools like this one are installing technology to pinpoint gunfire in seconds. At newark memorial high outside San Francisco, hunters of senders hundreds of sensors listen for gunfire and can triangulate a shot in seconds. They tested a system that in the event of the shooting would give First Responders critical information about the gunmans location. Numb 100. Reporter it has been used in oakland and chicago but with 32 campus shootings since 2000, schools are increasingly signing up. We have seen a huge increase in shots and killings on high school, middle school and elementary campus es. This is the next iteration or extension of protecting students. Some question if this is a wide use of education funds and if it protect students at all. The key factor is to see if it has the same deterrent effect in schools and at this point we dont have that kind of evidence. Does it prevent active shooters . Absolutely not. If it happens it will happen but at least there is a plan in place to react accordingly and efficiently and hopefully save lives. Reporter the Technology Costs tens of thousands of dollars to install and monitor and some say schools that can use it the most are least able to afford it. According to the companys more schools are finding the money with district officials here saying on a big campus, it is as important as the fire alarm. John interesting report. Heather the big one maybe coming. Southern california could be facing a devastating earthquake. Governor john kasich says he is the only republican candidate with the knowhow to win the white house. Is it enough to convince voters . Heather Hillary Clinton scoring big victories in the primary, still signs of trouble for the front runner when it comes to winning in november. A luxury yacht goes up in flames at a popular tourist destination, dramatic photos of the blaze as investigators look at the cause of the fire. A man reunited with his best friend. How this puppy made it home after being lost at sea. John dire warning for residents of southern california. Two active faults could rupture together, a devastating earthquake. This cuts through several freeways and systems that provide electricity, fuel and water. This is not my fault. We hope it is not in our lifetime. There are three takeaways to this study. The big one could be bigger than 6. 89 quake, it could happen closer to downtown la, not in the desert. The initial quake could happen and trigger or initiate a second quake on a much larger San Andreas Fault. Geologists have studied 1812 quake that destroyed the mission in capistrano costing californians to dismiss these studies because they dont answer the questions they care about most. The study is important because it shows one of the largest quakes in state history wasnt one quake but two. Geologists now believe quakes have accomplices, this one in green, could agitate or prompt a second quake on the much longer San Andreas Fault in yellow. That splits california in half separating the pacific and the continental plate. Hundreds of quakes every day, most so deep they dont even register, and a general reminder tha
