Anton knee fauci about the zika virus here in the u. S. All coming up on face the nation. Captioning sponsored by cbs good morning welcome to face the nation im john dickerson. The New York Primary is two days away, according to our cbs news battleground trammer the forecast is looking good for the front runners. Donald trump leads republican field by more than 30 points. And ted cruz and john say sick are in a tight race. Things look promising in the keystone fate for donald trump, too. 20 point lead at 46 , cruz and kasich are in close race for second with 26 and 23 support among republican primary voters. California is one of the last stops on the primary calendar, could be where donald trump goes over the top with the 1237 delegates he needs to secure the nomination. With 49 support. Fuzz comes in at 31 , john kasich is at 16. Turning now to the race for the democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton spent most of her weekend in california, our Battleground Tracker has her up there by 12 points over Bernie Sanders. 52 to 40 . And in her adopted home state of new york, she holds on to her ten point lead, 53 of democratic primary voters say they will support her and 43 are going for Bernie Sanders. As for Bernie Sanders weekend he is back from his trip to the vatican where he met briefly with pope francis and he joins you us now from new york. Welcome, sector, what happened to the democratic race there. The New York Times described you as ferocious performance in the debate this week. Ferocious, im not sure what that means. I think what happened is that ive become a little bit tired of being beaten up by the negativity of the Clinton Campaign. Worry ponding. She has super packs and raises whole lot of money. She is 1 minimum wage, not good enough. I am for 15 an hour minimum wage. I have views on Foreign Policy with the war in iraq, with syria are different than mine. Views on fracking, whether or not we have clean water in the United States and around the world are very different than mine. I think what we are doing, i am doing making very clear that my views are out there. I represent the needs of working families in the middle class i am prepared to take on powerful special interests. Dickerson what negativity got you so irritated from Hillary Clinton . You name it. I mean, she came in after we had won eight out of nine caucuses and primaries they made it very clear that what their goal was, i quote appropriately, disqualified defeat and then reunite the party later on. Gone after us in every single area that represents my views. Idea that they have said in the past that i attack planned parenthood when i regard planned parenthood, for example, as one of the great organizations in this country. I want to expand for planned parenthood. But on and on it goes. What you are seeing now is the real differences of the opinions between secretary clinton and myself. Probably most significantly we raised 7 Million Individual Campaign Contributions more than any candidate in American History at this point. Averaging 27. She is out there raising money for the wealthy and powerful, i think you can judge a candidate based on how you raise money and who you ultimately become dependent upon. Dickerson let me ask you about that. You were named to example where the money she raised from wall street influenced her, you didnt offer an example she said that proved the attack was phony. First of all i did offer example. Second of all, another one. She voted for a bad bankruptcy piece of legislation. Which benefited wall street at the expense of hard pressed consumers in this country. Thats an example. You never can say, john, just because you vote for something that that was caused by something else. Dickerson isnt that the implication of what youre offering in the critique, isnt that what youre saying . The broader critique is after wall streets greed and illegal behavior destroyed our economy and drove us into a major recession, in my view the proper response, of many economists and americans, these people are running an operation, we cant trust them. They have too much wealth, they have too much power, too much concentration of ownership, the proper response, my view then, my view today is break them up. That is not Hillary Clintons response. That is the best example but bankruptcy legislation is another piece of legislation where she was on the wrong side of the issue. Dickerson t money she takes to position on minimum wage which you mentioned the 200,000 speech fees that shes gets then she doesnt support the 15 National Minimum wage. Arent you kind of fuzzing up what is Economic Policy disutes you have with her and making it seem like shes just being stingy . No, not a question of being stingy. If you can go before Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley end up after an hours work for 0 minutes work with 250,000 check, and that is your life, then refuse to support the fight for 15, the need to have a 15 an hour National Minimum wage, you are living in world far removed from where working people are. The truth is minimum wage today is a starvation wage, 112 an hour for you is not enough, the American People in state after state now moving to 15 an hour shes behind the curve. Dickerson but you say maybe if you make 225 in an hour maybe dont know what its like to live on ten bucks minimum wage. Dickerson on the crime bill there was lot of discussed in the 1994 crime bill which you voted for, which she supported, do you regret your support for that crime bill now in retrospect . That bill, whenever you have piece of legislation that has the big bill lot of stuff in it it has violence against women act, during my tenure as mayor of burlington worked very hard against Domestic Violence and ban on assault weapons, something that i believe in, i believe back in 1988 when i ran for office. But there is no debate that that legislation has resulted in massive incarceration, we have more people in jail than any other countrya broken criminal Justice System, i am leading the effort to make certain that we have very strong reforms of the criminal Justice System right now. People are in jail who should not be in jail. Have to prevent people go from into jail. We need a parole system. We need to end socalled war on drugs which has resulted in a disproportionate number of African Americans being arrested. Enormous amount of work that has to be done now to address the crisis in criminal justice. Dickerson a quick political question. Donald trump says democratic nomination is stacked against you because of the superdelegates, do you agree . Its not only that, i will tell you, the answer is, yes. That Hillary Clinton is the candidate of the establishment. And she has many, many times superdelegates than we have. Ill tell you something also is of concern to me. Were going into tuesday, were fighting hard, i think we have real shot to win on tuesday if there is a large voter turn out. Here in new york state, you have Voting System which makes it impossible for independents to participate in the democratic primary, that makes it impossible for people to register on the day of the election which many states do. Which is going to result in a lower voter turn out than i would like to see. But at the end of the day, because we are defeating trump by large number than secretary clinton in poll after poll and state poll, lot of these superdelegates are going to concludes that Bernie Sanders is the candidate what must not be allowed to happen this is donald trump becoming president of the United States. Dickerson thanks so much for being with us. Thank you. Dickerson now to the republican race. Reince priebus joins us from party headquarters, welcome, mr. Chairman. Donald trump seems to have Pretty Simple charge in the case hes making which is the person who gets the most votes should get the nomination. Why is that wrong . Well, its majority of rules party and the reality is, that having plurality means that the field has a majority. You have to get the majority of delegates in order to be the nominee and ultimately the delegates of our party through the votes and participation all the states decide who the nominee of our party is. Dickerson id like to play a clip of something that donald trump said and get your reaction to it. The Republican National committee, they better get going. Because ill tell you what, you are going to have a rough july at that convention. You better get going, you better straighten out the system. Dickerson do you take that has a threat . Not particularly. I dont know if its hyperbole or positioning the truth is, that they are facts. The rnc doesnt have the power to change the rules between now and the convention. The rules were set years ago and each states delegate system was set in october of 2015. And its up to the delegates at the convention to decide what theyre going to do about rules and its up to each individual state over the next four years to decide how theyre going to allocate delegates. I dont take it personally, john, because i kind of just rest on the truth. It matters when something is right and something is wrong to me. Dickerson but he has shown some ability to get his supporters exercised and energized when he says Something Like this, i wonder if that gives you any pause . Well, i mean, sure, it gives you pause but thats why im talking to you and im talking to many Media Outlets as much as i can to set the record straight. That the rules have been set, the rules are set by each individual state, the rnc doesnt have the authority to change the rules, even if we wanted to. Each candidate has to know the rules, learn the rules and abide by the rules and ultimately the majority will decide everything in cleveland. Dickerson you mentioned that the delegates are the ones who make the rules, its all in their hands. Trumps complaint would be that some of these delegates who are coming in that hed be snookered out of those delegates, that those delegates are not being picked through a fair process. So that while they make the rules, the people who actually going to cleveland are getting there through a funny system. Well, theres two parts. One part, there are delegates that are allocated to each candidate based on the outcome of each of these contests. Like, for example, in florida, donald trump won all delegates, 100 even though he received about 55 of the vote. Those delegates are bound to donald trump no matter what. They could like someone else but theyre bound to vote for donald trump. Now, theres another part of the process which is making sure that as a candidate the people that are sitting in those seats are people that once the process gets going are friendly to your wishes and desires. Thats a function of each campaign doing a good job in each of these states with grass roots activists in the party. Because ultimately its the grass roots in our party that have a lot of power at the convention over what the rules say and what the Committee Work is. Thats just Relationship Issue in each of the states. Dickerson do you think donald trump is just not very good at that second stage part of the process . Its not matter of good or bad just matter of the facts being that each campaign has to go into each of these states and work with the party and the grass roots, if they want to have 100 of everything they want to have happen they have to be 100 committed to each of these states and how they select delegates. Dickerson is Donald Trumps ally, roger stone, who has worked with him over the years, has threatened to send out the room numbers of any delegate who is pledged to trump on the first ballot but then switches, what do you make that have . Yeah, its not helpful. Its not i dont find it to be an appropriate threat and im committed to making sure that the delegates have a great week, that they have a fun week. But a construcktive week and safe week. Were going to do that. Well have plenty of security, plenty of protection for all the delegates. Well be prepared. It will be a great convention. It will be historic convention. And either way whether we have presumptive nominee beforehand or at the convention its going to be a great week. I no that if everyone here understands that were watching American History. Dickerson all right. Chairman priebus we thank you for being with us. Thank you, john. Dickerson up next with more on our Battleground Tracker is cbs News Elections directorial honey salvanto, you think id get it right. Tell us first, where we are in new york and california with the republicans. Well, new york sets up very well for donald trump even without the home state advantage. They see him as authentic, they see him as effective, which in new york more so than some other states they define as president who could negotiate. That same metric helping john kasich, too. Also see donald trump as most electable of the candidates, when we asked these new yorkers who know him best do you think that donald trump will pivot to the general election become a little less outspoken than he is right now. They overwhelmingly said, no. Dickerson theyre okay with him being outspoken because theyre new yorkers. Theyre forkers. In california we see a lot of very conservative republicans. We dont often Pay Attention to california as we get to this part of the primary process but they will have, if you will, their moment in the sun or at least their political sun as they will probably be the decisive primary when it all comes down to it whether or not donald trump goes over the top. There the immigration question helps him a lot, thats keeping him on top. Lot of talk of immigration and fears of terrorism, all of those things are propelling him. Well see dynamic in california that makes for fitting final to, all of this because the electorate there looks very much like the kinds of conservatives who have been participating in these primaries all the way up to now. Dickerson lets pull back now and look at the entire republican race, the big question is, how well does donald trump have to do in new york to get him to that to get to 1237 that number we keep hearing. The key for everyone watching new york, can donald trump get over radio . The polls suggest egg. If he does get the bulk of delegates out of new york. He needs to do that to get back on the path to 1237 now what we mean by paths hes got to then keep on winning through april, through may then out to a big win in california. In order to make it. Even if he does the mass suggests its going to be close. Dickerson a squeaker. Update us on the democrats in new york and california. The race in new york looks very much like it has in previous primaries which is to say, Bernie Sanders leads Hillary Clinton on some metrics like honest and trustworthy, like being authentic. Clinton is up on him big on, is she specific about policy. Shes got wide lead there, there is criticism of Bernie Sanders in new york. Shes got the demographics on her side as well. All that have adds up to her lead. With keeping Bernie SandersCampaign Going also is that his voters say this they feel they are part of a larger movement. A movement that is larger than just their individual vote. I think that contributes a plot to the enthusiasm that they continue to feel. Dickerson may take that movement all the way to the convention. So tell us now where the democratic big picture is with pledge delegates, then superdelegates, walk people through that. The elected delegates will probably not shift very much coming out of new york. Because in the democratic races they give out delegates to both the winner and to the loser. So, anywhere near close probably just about split them. The difference, as you mentioned in your interview is superdelegates. They are Party Leaders and elected officials who are free to choose whichever candidate they want. Right now they overwhelmingly back Hillary Clinton. So the difference for Bernie Sanders is, if hes going to catch Hillary Clinton, the math is not on his side, if he is, he needs not only big wins in places like new york to get elected delegates but also have to do some persuasion. Hell have to convince these Party Leaders, elected officials that are superdelegates to come over to his side as well. Dickerson thank you for straightening that out for us. Well be back in one minute. , day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive dickerson we turn now to another story that dominated the headlines, the growing fears over the zika virus.
