Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. Its gotten to the point in Womens College basketball where it is uconn and everybody else. They crushed last night. Syracuse, im sorry, didnt even come close. Yes, it is the fourth time the uconn women have won the National Championship in the last four years. We will pay our respects to that team in a little while and have much more on the game. Almost as exciting, the wisconsin primary. Are the president ial front runners losing their grips . Ted cruz had a commanding lead, complicating trumps path to the nomination. Bernie sanders made history with another big win over Hillary Clinton. Well start our coverage with peter alexander. Good morning. Nice to see you both in person today. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton, the front runners having a bad night, will have to marinate in the losses until the primary in new york, april 19th. How does trump respond to the biggest adversity hes faced all campaign . God bless the great state of wisconsin. Reporter ted cruz savoring a sweeping victory over donald trump, insisting wisconsin has reset the republican race. Tonight is a turning point. It is a rallying cry. It is a call from the hard working men and women of wisconsin to the people of america. We have a choice. Reporter cruz embracing his wife, a recent trump target. Heidi reporter the texas senator delivering a powerful message for the antiTrump Movement. Either before cleveland or at the convention in cleveland, together, we will win a majority of the delegates and together, we will beat Hillary Clinton in november. Reporter trumps stinging defeat after a rocky last week, demonstrating vulnerabilities for the front runner. The billionaire in manhattan, watching results with his family, blasted cruz as a trojan horse. Recent adversity is revealing cracks in the campaign. Nbc news learned of growing frustration and infighting within trumps camp. Multiple sources in the campaign and close to the candidate questioning how trump is being advised. Warning hes too insulated by a handful of aides. Corey lewandowski denying the reporting, calling it wholly inaccurate. Trump pushing back hours earlier. I had not heard anything about the inner fightings of the campaign. We have a very Successful Campaign going, and i think were going to keep it going. Reporter for the democrats, Bernie Sanders notching his sixth win in seven states. Do not tell secretary clinton. Shes getting a little nervous. I dont want her to get more nervous. But i believe weve got an excellent chance to win new york and a lot of delegates in that state. Already facing an uphill battle, sanders is fending off criticism right here in new york. Here is the cover of new yorks daily news. Attacking his opposition to a proposal that would permit victims of gun violence to sue manufacturers. Sanders is calling the words inaccurate. Quiet before new york. Exactly. Chuck todd is political director and moderator of meet the press. Hes at the board to break this down for us. Morning. After wisconsin, on the democratic side, where do we stand . Clinton has a significant lead. Bernie sanders netted all of ten delegates, total. Heres the magic number. She needs 33 of remaining delegates to get there. How does she get there . Here are the remaining states. 33 of these plus super delegates. Shell be favored in the northeastern states. Theyve been tough for sanders. Hes only been winning caucuses and primaries in the midwest. Lets go to the republican side. This is where its interesting. Heres what you need to know as far as the numbers. Donald trumps percentage of the remaining to get to 1,237, he needs to win 58 of all remaining delegates. High bar, not impossible. The path forward is tricky. These are not winner take all states. If he gets 50 or more, he could win all 95 of the new york delegates. That would be a big deal. Unlikely he pulls that off. Thats why wisconsin is meaningful. Basically, hes not going to win all these in california. Hes going to lose some of these states here. We know that ted cruz does well in this part of the country. If you look now, i think were at a pretty 70 chance of a contested convention. Nicolle wallace joins us. Peter alexander turned into andrea mitchell. Thats good television. Ill give you the headline and you fill in the blank. Wisconsin just did what to the race . Made it much more likely theres going to be a contests convention on the republican side. On the democratic side, you are going to have a bruising fight over her trustworthiness. Sanders is going to keep coming at her. Wisconsin just delivered donald trump an epic blow, the first one hes really had to absorb since launching his campaign in june. When we talked about this yesterday, the big question was, okay, what would he do . How would he react . Will he be grateful in defeat and pivot, the answer was . Well, what did we say . You say people change, and chuck said they dont. Last night, trump put out this statement. He dictates this stuff. He refers to ted cruz as lying ted cruz. Accuses the party, essentially, of being in cahoots with everybody to take it away from him. The only way he becomes the nominee is if he makes nice with party bosses. What does he do . Insults them and insinuates theyre trying to steal it from him. Not to steal your thunder but if youre donald trump and youve gotten to this lead in the delegates, you think you got there by being donald trump. That is the internal divide in the small circle of people around him. When they go to him and say and there are people close to him that would like to see him be more president ial, like to see him do more things like the apex speech where he read from the teleprompter or stood in front of the flags. Theyd like to see more of that donald. I think the people that enable the other behavior are the people that listen to donald who says, i got this far by being me. Andrea, lets bring you in here. Chuck just laid something out dramatic. Even though Bernie Sanders wins wisconsin, he gets ten delegates. If youre in the Clinton Campaign this morning, how are you feeling coming out of wisconsin . You should not be feeling as good as they probably are feeling. He is just hammering away at her trustworthiness. The exit polls, she has got a real problem going forward. Shes going to be a bruised nominee. She has to figure out how to get rid of sanders, and now she cant. He has the money. He has the will. He has the belief in himself now. He is not going to let up. This is becoming a this is becoming a really nasty campaign. It is a battle for new york. If she wins big in new york, maybe he rethinks it. He now believes that he can persuade the super delegates and even the pledged delegates that she is so damaged, she should not be the front runner. Was this a big night for ted cruz or the stop trump forces . I see northeastern states that wouldnt typically be cruz country. I think this was big for the stop trump forces. Lindsey graham is probably the best perspective. A tweet says, congratulations, ted cruz. Weve done it. Well be able to deny donald trump a majority at the convention. It wasnt, congratulations, ted cruz. Youre on your way to becoming the next president of the united states. I think youll see that in the next few days. Stop trump, never trump people will come out of the closet. Others have been quiet about it. Thats what this wisconsin loss for trump could mean. What surprised me, a number in the exit polling, 32 of people in wisconsin consider themselves very angry at washington. Those numbers have to be higher for donald trump to win. They have to be higher for bernie and for donald trump. Whats interesting about last night, and Lindsey Graham is a great vessel because he lets it all hang out, he sat with us and said that it is more important to maintain the principles and the dignity and honor of the conservative movement with someone like ted cruz, who he acknowledged may lose in november, than to roll the dice with someone like donald trump when matters of National Security are too big a deal. You didnt do the bumper sticker. I shared this rumor, lose with cruz is becoming a punch line at the end of these conversations. Better to lose with cruz. Yeah. Well wrap it up on that note. Wow.
