Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom With Carol Costello 20160302

Seems like you dont care about my kids. Your kids are being treated this way because of the conduct for your party for 2 hundred years. Parties change over time. Point of view. You have not stopped here is the deal. The Republican Party was the party of liberation and the Democratic Party was the party of liberty. Caring more about properties then people that. Began to switch over the last century. Anybody with two eyes knows that. Why is is this more important to you than the fear i have and so many blacks have across the country. This is still being used today, the same old formula. David duke was a big fan of occupy wall street. As president obama. Thats today. Thats not 150 years ago. Jeffrey, are you hearing that van is saying and that he represents a large swath of people who say that they were hurt and offended by what donald trump said, okay. He said it on friday and disavoided the kk. He tweeted after it jake tapper but on jake tapper he seemed to be tap dancing for some reason and that offended people. Do you get that. Sure i get it because i believe this is where weve come to. When everything is about race. That is whats going to happen. That is whats going to happen. I think it is a misunderstanding. Where was president obama at just scalias funeral . Am i supposed to take great offense at that . Lets do it bynolog analogy. This is a good conversation. Make everything about parties. I never raised party. You cardioind of go back and forth about whos party change and when. If you were running for office and i asked mott thin the past said i hate and one time i ask you dont want me to condemn a group i dont know anything about. You would look at me like i had two heads. This is the analogy to. This he disa i vowed david duke. He knew who he was and he didnt pull the trigger this time. What i am saying to you is to suggest that. What i hear is that the undertone of all this is to paint donald trump and, what, the conservative movement, rush limbaugh, everything as a bunch of White Supremacists. That is what i hear. That is what i hear. I dont accept that by the way. I dont accept that premise. I actually reached out to trump as soon as i could after it and said you should come on and clarify this because i havent heard you say fliek this before. What im saying is what other explanation is there for backing off a position that you supposedly so strongly hold. Chris, you are attributing the deliberateness to this. There is no reason for him to deliberately do it when hed done it the other way repeatedly. So you think it is not deliberate. No. Ive got to Say Something here. If you are African American and you are watching this, with regard i cant tell you, this thing trended on twitter for two hours last night. Ive heard from everybody aye ever known. Literally, third grade. The reason that African Americans flinched not just when he kind of hedged a little bit. We were up earlier because he said i disavow. Isis endorses me . I disavow. Move on. Hang on, there is a moment there. A leadership moment. You aggressively say i dont want this. Everything you see about donald trump is passion and he will do something and it will take a whole media cycle. You are being endorsed by the equivalent of isis and all you say is i disavow. That sent the shock waves. Then when he comes back and is even more hedge ji, that is when the floor fell out from under the black community and we are very concerned because this man could be the president. And if you are the president you should be leading. You shouldnt be hedging. You should have a chance to denounce terrorism in my own country and you dont it and you are donald trump, somethings wrong. That is our feeling about it. Somethings wrong. Does it ever occur to you that donald trump thinks that the clan is terrible and its a stupid subject . Yes. Why is it stupid. Why . A terrorist organization . Yes. In the United States . I think thats exactly what he believes. Then if its not stupid that is the point im trying to make to you. That is exactly the point. This formula of racism plus progressivism is what has been going on in this country for 2 hundred plus years. And it is still being used to this day. Jeffrey to your point though. You know donald trump very well. I know what it is like when you Say Something about him he doesnt agree with. He did not behave that way this time. And that raised eyebrows and you dont have to be black to feel strongly about what a hate group represents. But he didnt do it this time. You misrepresent this guy hes all over you like ugly on an ape. Not this time. This time he was careful about it. It was uncharacteristic. And raised suspicions. She could have just come out and doubled down on it. And again he didnt. And hes had people like you come out in instead and say this is silly. You have to see that it is not consistent. Im not saying pernicious but it is not consistent. Everybody makes mistakes as they go along. I dont know he answered the way he did. But im more than comfortable with the fact that hes not a ratesist. Which is the implication here. Nobody said old on. I would not be here. And i i know he would not be here. But that is not the point. I dont think most think that donald trump himself is actually racist. We should take that off the table. Is question is is he willing to play funny with racism. No. No. Let me finish and then you can beat me up. Is he willing to play funny with racism. Is he willing on the inconsistent on this one terrorist and every other one for political game. I think they think hes an opportunist and not a racist. Respond to that jeffrey. Hes saying donald trump did this intentionally because for that base, that small percentage of the country that feels that way, they would rush out this droves to vote for him. And let me clarify. It is a little more subtle. I think it is that him being the strong white guy whos not going to get pushed around. Strong guy. Not strong white guy. Strong white guy. Who wont get pushed around by the pc stuff is a part of his brand. And i think the thing is if i back down on this one it is going to hurt me. But i think people think hes opportunistically pushing buttons to help him and hurt everybody else. And that is essence of the playing the race card. Right there. Me saying hes playing the race card is me playing the race card . Yes. Thats to meta. My brain is coming out my head. The question is whether it is not appropriate. And it takes us back to a central question. He just didnt behave here the way he usually does. This is not a guy who minces words. Not a guy whos careful. Sometimes he backs off after it which is a beautiful strategy of his. He goes really far to impress some people and pulls back to do others. The spigs did he do that in reverse this time . Because he leaves you with an open question. Why didnt he say what he always says. That doesnt mean anyone thinks hes a racist or an opportunist. It is just weird. But you are suggesting hes an opportunist. I am certainly not. I am. He is. I dont want to confuse to two of you. Not me though. There is a legit question. Regardless how you feel about his answer. And it doesnt mean you are racist by asking the question. It doesnt mean you are baiting by asking because it makes no sense. When the guy talks about immigrants you are the one to back him off. Hes gone much farther than that many times. When hes talking about muslims he goes very far. Many times and then backs up. Here he did the opposite. Doesnt means hes racist or opportunist. Means it was weird. And let me say one thing about me and jeffrey. The reason we can have this conversation. I respect this guy. I dont agree but i respect this guy a lot. He came on the air when everybody at laughing a t donald trump and he took incredible brick bats. And hes turning out to have been more right than wrong. And the reason we get so hot and we go back and forth and do this for five hours is i actually respect this guy and hope he respects me. You have two legitimate points of view. There are a lot of people who feel for each category. I think the you have there are people who play the race card but im not doing that and a i dont think a lot of people were last week. Talk and conversation is good. Yes. On that note gentlemen, van jones, jeffrey lord we appreciate you both bringing the fire and your different perspectives and fight gt it ow here on air. Thank you both. And it is a good instruction on how to do it. You should take note. Stop beating up chris alisyn. I cant. Its too easy. He makes it so. Some things are unfixable. More intractable than race. Super tuesday coverage continues on newsroom with carol costello. Thanks for joining us. Happening now in the news ram. Trump and clinton tightened their grips. There is nobody, nobody thats going to beat us. The rest of the republican candidates not letting go. There will never come a time in this race where our supporters are asking us to get out and rally around donald trump. How long until the gop field narrows . As long as the field remains divided, Donald Trumps path to the nomination remains more likely. In the meantime the front runners looking to november. Im going to go after one person. Thats Hillary Clinton. Whos got the edge . We have to make america whole. Make America Great again is going to be much better than making america whole again. Lets talk live in the cnn newsroom. Good morning. Im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. Super tuesday becomes surging wednesday. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton win big bolstering that he has r their leads. Trump riding a wave of voter anger and record turnout from arkansas all the way to vermont. The new york billionaire wins seven states and erases the traditional boundaries of geography. Ted cruz captures his must win home state of texas. He also seizes oklahoma and alaska. Making the case that he is now the only republican who can beat trump. So called establishment candidate marco rubio notches his first victory in minnesota. And now looks to his home state of florida. His only hope for survival may be a windfall of delegates in a winner take all state. And Hillary Clinton builds on her momentum. Bernie sanders wins vermont and oklahoma. As expected. Colorado was a surprise victory for him. Across the country, a critical day for the campaign. Lets begin with jim acosta, in riviera beach, florida. Good morning jim. Zwl good morning carol. Donald trump certainly has the upper hand this morning. Firmly in control for the gop battle for the white house. But he did not accomplish a clean sweep. He did not drive his rivals out of this race. Allowing ted cruz and perhaps marco rubio to emerge once again as the men who could potentially stop trump. We have expanded the rn Republican Party. It was a big night for donald trump. The clear front runner now well on his way to clinching the republican nomination. The republicans have tremendous energy. The democrats dont. They dont have any energy. Their numbers are down. Our numbers are through the roof. The billionaire businessman racked up seven state wins. Including delegaterich virginia, georgia and tennessee. I think we are going to be more inclusive. I think we are going to be more unified and i think we are going to win in november. After kays of controversy over support from White Supremacists trump tried to strike a more diplomatic tone claiming he can unify the country. Im a unifier. I know people are going to find that hard to believe but believe the path to beating the to unify. The ted cruz also called for unity asking the other three non trump candidates to drop out after he won texas, oklahoma and alaska. If we remain divided in all looikd donald trump becomes the nominee. But i think donald has a hard ceiling of 3540 . Cruz making the case hes the gops only hope to win the white house. For those who have supported other candidates we welcome you on our team. Standing united as one. Trump said the gop leader should get along with him or else. Paul ryan i dont know him well but im sure im going to get along great and if i dont hes going have to pay a big price. And on trump continued the inult ises marco rubio. I know it was a tough night for marco rubio. He had a tough night but he worked hard. He spent lot of money. He is a lightweight. But rubio did pull off his first win in minnesota and vowed to fight on. There will never come a time in this race where our supporters are asking us to get out and rally around donald trump. People is a saying fight as hard as you can to save the party from a con artist who refuses to criticize the kkk. But the stop Trump Movement is picking up steam this morning. A republican antitrump super pack called our principals pack announcements it is hiring more staff and resources before the next critical contests for saturday and spread out over the next two weeks. They are going to quickly become winner take all conuses. So that does give people like rubio and cruz a chance to make a comeback but sometime is sirm running out for those go. Ted cruz can say he won tkz but if marco rubio doesnt win florida it is going to be very difficult for him. Jim acosta live from florida this morning. Marco rubio concedes hes an underdog but he has one advantage. Hes the establishments choice to become the standard bearer and push trump and cruz back to the fringes. Joe johns in minneapolis this morning. Hi joe. Reporter good morning carol. Marco rubio won the caucuses here in minnesota with huge turnout. Ted cruz in second. Donald trump in third. But if there is a path to the nomination for marco rubio it is just not clear right now. He picks up 106 delegates to the republican convention. Donald trump has 300 delegates. Ted cruz has around 200 delegates. Rubio does say that the electoral map gets better for him after super tuesday. But if he is able to pull off florida, which is his home state, it is a big question and it looks like hell still be running against the win. Though he says hes going stay in the race. Listen. Donald trump is not someone that the republicans support is going to come after he and say hey we need everyone around the race lets rally around the front runner for the good of the party. The contrary is true. The fight is to save the Republican Party t party of lincoln and reagan from someone whos not just a con artist but who refuses to criticize the kkk. We cannot nominate that takes those positions. Someone who shares hillarys positions on planned parenthood, who says hes going to be neutral an iran. This is a fight for the heart and soul of the Republican Party and i will not give up this fight. I will go through all 50 states before we stop fighting to save the Republican Party from someone like that. It is the math that is the problem here. Right now early polling shows donald trump with app big lead in the state of florida. And a marco rubio cannot pull off a win in his home state under these circumstances. It really raises a question about his viability as the candidate. Rubio today campaigning in michigan where donald trump also holds a lead in the polls though it is a lot more fluid situation there, carol. Joe johns live from minneapolis. Thank you. On the gop side it would be over in any other year. Republicans would rally around the clear front runner. But not this election. Not when a man named donald trump wins big. The headline in the New York Daily News this morning, riffs on Trumps Campaign slogan proclaiming make america migrate. And clips of the Chris Christies facial expressions went viral. Scott reeg sl the republican lawmaker from virginia. He sent an email to supporters writing quote, trump is a bully, unworth of our anonymounominati. I will not support trump in the general election. So lets talk about this. Former Republican National committee chief of staff mike shields joins us. And former georgia congressman and ted cruz supporter is here as well. Also mark preston joins me. Welcome all of you. Good morning. So mike a question. Mr. Trump won ten states, Republican Voters have spoken. If lawmakers are elected by the people, who are they to tell voters they are wrong . Yeah the voters have spoken. If you look at the numbers, 46 of the people who voted in the republican primaries last night vote forward donald trump. 64 of those voters voted for someone else. And that is why this isnt over yet. Hes certainly the front runner and amazing delegate but it is not over. And if you look at the places where he has shown a little weakness. Oklahoma, minnesota. He lost. These ro not open primaries. Is march 8th. You have michigan and idaho. And march 15th where you have a huge slate of winner take all states including florida. There are a lot more closed primaries. Republican regulators, grassroots activists working in the party for years have a much larger influence. Hes shown a little bit of weakness in a closed primary as opposed to open and last night 64 of the people who voted voted for someone else. That doesnt mean he might not get new supporters as others drop out but there is a path for someone else to deny him the convention and it is real and why this race is still going on. But still mark it appears even the candidates running are not listening to the voters. Marco rubio for example, hes won one state. 1 in 15. That is worst than the Detroit Lions last year. On what planet can he actually win. Your beloved Detroit Lions. Perhaps they will do better this time. Here is the problem for republicans at this point. They are fighting against the clock. There are a very short period of time for a marco rubio or a ted cruz to find that path to then try to eclipse donald trump when it comes to delegates. The republican establishment very frustrated. Flumicsed by Donald Trumps support. And we have to point out that donald trump has driven out the vote in record numbers in many of these states and we saw that last night on super tuesday. So donald trump really has become this enigma for the Republican Party. And in july there are already talk here in washington where some people are talking about not inning going to the convention. There is also talk about trying to deny him the nomination if they are able to keep the level of delegate support under the threshold needed to become the nomination. And get this, if he does get the nominee there is even talk now of i running a third Party Conservative candidate against him to provide a safe haven for Republican Voters and more importantly, candidates, republican candidates running if are house and senate who are afraid of getting too close to donald trump if he becomes nuclear. So there is certainly a lot at stake right now. There certainly is. Ted cruz, bob, hes doing better says he can beat donald trump. But the exit polls shows ted cruz has no broad support. He just cant win a general election with evangelical support. And hes not ichb trying to woo moderates. How can he possibly win . His game plan is precisely what he saw in iowa and that is a very strong well organized ground game. And what we saw last evening in texas, oklahoma and early this morning in alaska when the results came in. These are all very diverse states. Iowa t heart of the mid west. Alaska. Western, independentminded state. His home state of texas which is southern but western. And oklahoma bordering the mid west and the south. I would argue that senator cruzs support is fairly broad. And his focus right now is not on well, what is going to happen at the convention . Whats going to happen two months down the road but whats going to happen tomorrow and the next day. Hes out there fighting on substance each and every day. So lets go back to mark prestons theory. And i want to address this to you, mike. There are rumors that mitt romney is going to jump in the race. Romney has not endorsed anyone. Hes tweeting up a storm. Do you think he will . Who knows. If you are going to go to a convention where the front runner doesnt have 50 of the delegate, the delegates at that convention are going to choose who the nominee is. They are the Republican Party. It is their convention. And they are going to have the ability to put names into the nomination. There are some rules where you have to have won a certain number of states. So there are some things that would have to really change for someone like mitt romney to get involved. But if donald trump wins 50 of the delegates that makes a lot of this conversation different. But if he doesnt and it goes to the convention with fewer than 50 , then you have a situation where the delegates are going to choose who the nominee is for the Republican Party and all of these conversations become much more relevant. I have to end it there. Thanks to all of you. As for Hillary Clinton, super tuesday solidified her standing as the Democratic Front runner. Clinton winning 7 of 11 states up for grabs even eking out a win in massachusetts. Clinton now halfway to the number of delegates needed to clinch the anonymous. And in the aftermath of their wins, both candidates praise supporters and vowed to fight on. We know weve got work to do. But that work, that work is not to make America Great again. America never stopped being great. We [ cheers and applause ] we have to make america whole. We have to fill in. Fill in whats been hollowed out. This campaign as i think all of you know, this campaign is not just about electing a president. It is about transforming america. It is about making our great count try nation that we know it has the potential to be. Our senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny joins me now with more. Good morning jeff. Good morning carol. No question Hillary Clinton had a very strong night on super tuesday. She won seven states as you said and more importantly amassed many more delegates than Bernie Sanders across those Southern States. Winning by almost twice as much as Bernie Sanders in a lot of states. But Bernie Sanders won four states. That certainly gives him energy and ability to stay in this race. And that of course he will. But it was clear last night during the Victory Party rally here in miami, who Hillary Clinton was actually focussed on. She spent very little time on Bernie Sanders and instead talked about the rhetoric and the tone from the other side of the race. Lets listen. It is clear tonight that the stakes in this election have never been higher. And the rhetoric we are hearing on the other side has never been lower. And those boos are what democrats hope will energize their voters here. One really important thing weve seen across the last month and a half of voting since iowa, republicans are coming out in droves compared to democrats. There are democrats who are worried about the lack of energy on their side. So the Clinton Campaign clearly trying to tap into some of the energy of donald trump and saying hey, democrats you need to Pay Attention here and come out and vote. But carol interestingly just a few moments ago Bernie Sanders top advisors up in burlington Vermont Holding a press conference with reporters and they say Bernie Sanders is staying in this race. This is a long path to the convention here. They said integrity is a central factor the democrats should be looking at. That Bernie Sanders can go up against donald trump much better here. So the Sanders Campaign not laying down at all here. The next week is critical. The michigan primary, next tuesday. And two debates happen in the next week. One on sunday on cnn and the next on wednesday. That could be Bernie Sanders last shot to refive himself in this long democratic race carol. Thank you jeff. Still to come republicans might be battling out over their front runner but many gop voters agree on one thing, they are angry. Break down the exit polls next. Oh, look.

Im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. We know trump and clinton were big winners tuesday but who was voting and why . Our exit polls revealing a stark difference between parties. Christine romans is following that. She joins me this morning to explain. They really do and what you see i think most vividly in the republican direct rate is this anger. A visceral anger about the establishment and the federal government. Lets take georgia and what people leaving the polls told us. Of those who were angry about the federal government and it was more than half of them were angry at the federal government. More than 2 1 they chose him. He has the mad as hell electorate behind him. Can exit polls showed hit. Massachusetts, a different kind of state from george. More moderate. Moderates and conservatives both voted for him there and when asked who would you like to be president . And those who said not from the political establishment. Look how far and away they went for donald trump. In moderate massachusetts, the republicans there who want someone from outside chose trump. By that kind of a margin. You go to virginia. Here is something interesting. If you are looking for cracks and there are not many, but if you are looking for cracks in the donald trump dominance last night of the polls, in virginia we asked would you be satisfied if trump wins the nomination . 54 said no. So virginia voted for him. Almost every demographic virginia, a Battle Ground state voted for him carol but when it came down to who he should be the nominee 54 said no. You hear that all the time. Were going to vote for the lowest complain denominator because you got to vote for someone. Another thing that broke the rubio, the late deciders. Another little crack in the domination and it was a domination of donald trump last night. The late deciders tended to break for marco rubio. What about the dmok side. Democrats really interesting. Most could take Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. Look at virginia. Satisfied if clinton would win the nomination . 80 said yes. If you asked satisfied Bernie Sanders, f 65 . They would take either. Where i saw the difference was age and minority. In arkansas, look at that. Has her home state. Young people wept for Bernie Sanders. No matter where you looked. The older they were, they liked Hillary Clinton. The younger they liked Bernie Sanders. In terms of race, the more diverse the state, those people tended to go for Hillary Clinton not for Bernie Sanders. Interesting. Thank you. Isnt it . It is really fascinating. And you are right. We were talking in the break this is an election like no other in our lifetime and you are so right about that christine roams. Thank you. So if super tuesday is any indication of whats to come this is the ultimate insider versus the ultimate outsider. One, Hillary Clinton who thinks americas great and one, donald trump, who thinks america is not so great. Although oddly both view themselves as uniters. Now it might be unusual as aye said before for a president ial candidate to say this but im going to keep saying it. I believe what we need in America Today is more love and kindness. Im a unifier. I know people are going to find a that little hard to believe believe me. I am a unifier. When we get all this finished im going after one person Hillary Clinton on the assumption that shes allowed to run chaz big assumption. Were getting a little ahead of ourselves. Right . First a lis of winners and losers as of march 2nd 2016 post super tuesday. So our winners, donald trump, Hillary Clinton and ted cruz. On the loser side. Marco rubio, the gop establishment and john kasich. So lets talk about that and more. Im joined by the daily beast editor in chief john avalon and cnn political analyst. Kay coppens, Senior Writer for buzz feed and author of the wilderness, about the republican struggle to win the white house after the 2012 election. Welcome both of you. Good morning carol. I know i think we all agree who the winners were last night right . Yeah. People who win. People who win were the winners. And i want to concentrate on marco rubio. Hes won one state out of 15. And he thinks he still has a chance. Mckay is he delusional or does he have a chance . Well i was at his rally last night here in miami and it is pretty clear he is making his florida his alamo. I dont know what the florida equivalent of the alamo is. But that is what he is staking his campaign on. That primary is in two weeksfuls he was very clear about setting the expectation jese going to win florida. He told an excited crowd of hometown fans they were going to send a message that a con artist of donald trump was not going to be able to take over the party of lincoln. Marco rubio currently trails by double digits. He has a lot of ground to make up. Hes going need a lot of money. His campaign. Hes going to need a lot of door knockers. Canvassers. It is unclear whether hes going to be able to catch up but i think they have basically made the calculation the only way for them to win is to win florida. This is going to be the race to watch for him. Lets talk about john kasich. Because he also thinks that he can win. But seriously . He hasnt won anything. And in the states where hes competed, hes like hes in the single digits. Well god, and you are a Buckeye State native and you are just dishing on your governor like that. Sorry, im a realist. Look i mean john kasich had a strong second in new hampshire, which he blooefld would punch his ticket of the sane center right. The sane center right has been out of fashion for some time in the Republican Party. But the candidates, sell by date is march 15th. And winning your home state as ted cruz did last night in texas and i will add by winning the latino vote there as women which is significant. That is absolutely necessary. You cant make a case about electability if the people who know you best dont pull the lever for your name. But this is going to be the intense sprint of two weeks. This is the two weeks that count more than any others. Marco rubio could take some comfort he finally has one win. But an argument needs to be followed by actually showing you can win. States and swing states. So this is the crucial two weeks not. Question donald trump is in the pole position as Hillary Clinton is on the democratic side. But this is going to be a wild march and people are going to be throwing money at trying to see if they can delay Donald Trumps march and probably the hail mary pass you are going to see is a brokered convention. But that is more of a fantsd than reality. Marco rubio started to run that very negative campaign where he made i wont repeat what he said but you get the gist. When you look at the results from super tuesday, was that effective . That is a good question. It remains to be seen. I think the marco rubio strategy of just constantly bashing and insulting donald trump was really threefold. What part of it was about making it look tough and casting himself it is a antitrump candidate. Part of it was trying to get inside Donald Trumps head. There was evidence that worked. You saw donald trump spend entire days in the past week just talking about trumps university. Size of his hands and defending himself there. And size of his hands. When he has beautiful hands. When donald trump is saying that he has beautiful hands you have a case to be made you have trolled him effectively. The third thing is marco rubio needed media. Oxygen. Donald trump has sucked up so much media oxygen by being the showman, rubio was hoping to get media attention. He did. It worked. It only translated to one actual win. He also did not meet the 20 threshold in texas. So he got no delegates. He came close to winning virginia but i think everyone agrees john kasich was a spoiler there and lost virginia. So look, you know, it might have worked in terms of getting him Media Coverage but rubio Going Forward is going to have to find a way to win his home state and probably a few other states. I think hell probably keep a carol. John last word. Late deciders, ended up seem to be breaking for rubio. That indicates the strategy had some effectiveness and the reality is that in life bullies only stand up to strength and marco rubio by playing the happy warrior and taking the fight to trump not only increased earned media but showed ability to punch back. And trump prides himself as the counterpuncher but the trump dedefenders decrying the civil discourse it couldnt be more ironic they are responsible for it but one more sign of this surreal circus of the president shl domain its turn shl campai turned into a palmolive commercial. We all have beautiful hands . We got go. I have great hands right here. You do mckay. Still to come in the newsroom, a surge in black support boosts Hillary Clinton in super tuesday.

Bernie sanders did notch four more wins in his bid for president but hes far behind Hillary Clinton when it comes to delegates. I bring you stephen colbert. On the democratic side while hillary looks poised for big victories tonight, Bernie Sanders has promised to stay in the race for all 50 states. Or 51 if you count the state of denial. Ooh of the that was a big ouch. Part of what prepeld Hillary Clintons success last night was her appeal among African Americans. In some Southern States she took at least 80 of the black vote. In alabama it was even higher. 93 went to Hillary Clinton. In arkansas clinton trounced sarnds 1 to 9 . Welcome both of you. Stephen colbert just kind of slammed Bernie Sanders. Is he in a state of denial . Translator at all. If we look at the map moving forward we have nift states. And the Democratic Party wanted to design it so they would stack the conservative Southern States at the front so that a more conservative candidate could move forward. The countrys changed a lot since then. The yes there is a large African American vote in the south and Bernie Sanders undoubtedly needs to work on getting his message out to African Americans. But lets not forget that Hillary Clinton has run several campaigns in the south. There are a known name. They have relationships with all of the party chairs and leaders and the congressional members and those things matter in the African American community which still operates in old school machine political sort of way. So voters respond to endorsements. African American Voters respond to endorsements. Without that vote in the south Hillary Clinton wouldnt have won. Lets keep that in mind. Fifty states moving forward. Not all look the same at the south and Bernie Sanders will do very well in those states. But michael, if he doesnt have African American support and i mean major league support he cant win against donald trump. He needs support of African Americans badly, doesnt he . So is he in a state of denial . I certainly dont think that either. Senator sanders has raised some very serious issues which i think overall are good for the Democratic Party. And it was a great night for the party. Commend senator sanders for his victories and certainly was a great night for secretary clinton as well. I think what both candidates demonstrated last night is the great diversity of the United States of america. The appeal that both of them have to a variety of constituencies. And it is important to be able to speak to the broad diversity of the american public, whether in democratic primaries or in a general election. But michael , dont you need major support among all minority groups in order to course, mino groups, majority groups, i think both the senator and secretary are trying to appeal to the broad diversity of the Democratic Party. Secretary clinton clearly does have a longstanding relationship with africanamerican community, not just in the south but the breadth and width of the United States of america. That doesnt put to the side, you know, the relationships she has with white americans, latino americans. Shes appealing to the entire country and a great night for the Democratic Party. See, michael, you have been very gracious. I know. Wow. Do you want to switch campaigns . Because Hillary Clinton was very gracious last night. Bernie sanders has a lot of money im a gracious guy. You are a gracious guy. At least for now. Bernie sanders has a lot of money so he can stay in the race. Is the major reason he wants to stay in the race to get his message across because he can keep talking about income inequality . Well, i think the message has been key to this campaign and thats what the majority of voters and americans are feeling right now is economic inequality. I think hes in it to win it and theres a very strong path forward. I know we like to focus on states that suit Bernie Sanders support right now. So, yes, the message is key. Sending that message to the dnc and the superdelegates, of course. As Bernie Sanders moves forward, this is not a guy who is losing right now. He has a clear path forward and its going to be a competitive race and thats good for democrats. Okay, nomiki. Oh, come on. Ive got to leave it there. Come on. That was pretty good. It was. First of all, this is not a new process. Senator sanders has been around for a while. Since the 80s. This has been the process for a while. Maybe the superdelegates have committed and thats why you see the large number of superdelegates who have already committed. They come in in august, to be fair. Now you guys get technical with me and ive got to end it. Michael nutter, nomiki combs, thank you. Breaking news off the coast of africa. New plane debris washes ashore. Could it be a part of mh370 .

You might remember a different part of the boeing 777 was found on reunion island. Cnns rene marsh is joining me. This piece is being taken to malaysia for further analysis. Again, you mentioned its the horizontal stabilizer. If you look at this aircraft here, this is the section of the plane that were talking about. This would be the horizontal stabilizer. Essentially, its part of the tail of the aircraft. They believe this debris found could belong to a 777. Once they do that analysis, theyll be able to confirm whether its from a boeing 77 and whether its from mh370. The australians say they plan on wrapping up the search for this aircraft by the middle of this year. If this is a piece of mh370, it will confirm what we already know, that this aircraft went down. But it still does not confirm exactly what went wrong. Carol . So the piece of debris that was found on reunion island, was that part of mh370 . Remind our viewers. That was the flaperon, essentially a part of the planes wing. They were able to confirm that it did belong to a boeing 777 and it was, indeed, a piece of mh370. That was the first piece that was found. And now were talking about a second piece. So you have two pieces of this aircraft. But again, even looking at this piece, even analyzing it does not tell investigators what happened to that aircraft on march 8th, 2014. In just a matter of days, it will be a twoyear anniversary. Carol . Rene marsh, thanks so much. The next hour of cnn newsroom is back after a break. Every day you read headlines about businesses being hacked and intellectual property being stolen. That is cybercrime and it affects each and every one of us. Microsoft created the digital crimes unit to fight cybercrime. We use the microsoft cloud to visualize information so we can track down the criminals. When it comes to the cloud, trust and security are paramount. Were building what we learn back into the cloud to make people and organizations safer. Happening now in the newsroom, trump and clinton tighten their grips. Theres nobody, nobody thats going to beat us. The rest of the republican candidates not letting go. There will never come a time in this race when our supporters are asking us to support donald trump. Meantime, the frontrunners looking to november. Im going to go after one person. Thats Hillary Clinton. Whos got the edge . We have to make america whole. Make America Great again is going to be much better than making america whole again. Lets talk. Live in the cnn newsroom. And good morning. Im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. Super tuesday becomes surging wednesday at least for donald trump and Hillary Clinton. They win big and making a november showdown seem all but inevitable. Record turnout from arkansas to vermont. The new york billionaire erasing the traditional bounds of geography. Senator ted cruz wins the his home state of texas. Hes making the case that hes now the only republican that can beat trump. Socalled establishment candidate marco rubio not just his first victory by claiming minnesota. He heads to his home state of florida. His only hope is in the win or take allstate. Hillary clinton builds on her momentum winning seven states, including a hardfought battle in massachusetts. Bernie sanders wins vermont and minnesota and oklahoma. Colorado was a surprise victory for him. Regardless, all of them are pushing ahead. What a super tuesday were taking from the democrats, were taking from the independents. We have a lot more people. I hope to be able to get along with everybody. America never stopped being great. We have to make america whole. We have to fill in. It is good to be home we have come a very long way in ten months we have seen that our campaign is the only campaign that has beaten, that can beat and that will beat donald trump. The pundits, they were underdogs, ill accept that. Weve all been underdogs. And when we unify, theres nobody, nobody that is going to beat us. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you very much. Thank you. All right. Were following all of the campaigns with our team of political reporters. Jim acosta is following the democrats. Joe johns the republicans. Reporter good morning, carol. It was undoubtedly a big night for donald trump, sounding like a presumptive nominee. The billionaire businessman, racked up big wins in georgia, tennessee, arkansas and could not deliver the knockout blow he was looking for against ted cruz who won his home state of texas neighboring oklahoma and alaska. Ted cruz has a new argument this morning. Hes now saying he is the best hope of the Republican Party of keeping trump out of the white house noting hes essentially the only candidate who has beaten donald trump on multiple occasions and that is the argument he made last night here on cnn. Heres what he had to say. If we remain divided, then in all likelihood, donald trump becomes the nominee. That result was made clear tonight. If hes the nominee, will you support him . I will support the republican nominee, period, the end. But i dont believe hes going to be the republican nominee. I think were going to unite to prevent him from being the nominee because if hes the nominee, he may be the one person on the planet that Hillary Clinton can beat. Now, ted cruz is calling on marco rubio, the other contenders, to drop out of this race and get behind him. Marco rubio had a disappointing night only picking up minnesota. Even after launching that series of personal attacks against donald trump to no avail. But rubio is vowing to fight on. Heres what he had to say. Im just wondering if theres a certain amount of denial that youre in about this race. No, jake. Look, again, were in the win or take all phase of this. You know this is about delegate account. This is not a traditional race. Usually in a race like this youd have a frontrunner and people would be saying you need to drop out and rally around the frontrunner for the sake of the party. There will never come a time in this race where our supporters are going to say to drop out and rally around donald trump. This is a conartist who refuses to disavow kkk. If he is nominated, it will be the end of the moderate Republican Party. Reporter now, donald trump is trying to strike a more diplomatic tone saying he could unite the Republican Party, unite the country. But he did in almost the same breath warn what would happen if Republican Leaders did not get behind him, saying to paul ryan, the speaker of the house, saying that he would pay a price if those two leaders could not get along. Carol, were living in unprecedented time when the potential gop nominee is warning the speaker to back off. Carol . Jim, thank you so much. Joe johns is in minneapolis. Good morning. Reporter good morning, carol. Bernie sanders pulled off a huge win here in the caucuses in minnesota and he did it with ground game and organization, democratic insiders tell me. Also picking the right state, a state with a strong tradition of picking progressives. Bernie sanders is saying that he needs to continue to rack up delegates until the national convention, even though Hillary Clinton is winning more states than he is. Listen. This is not a general election. Its not win or take all. If you get 52 , 48 , you roughly end up with the same amount of delegates at the end of tonight, 15 states will have voted. 35 states remain. And let me assure you, that we are going to take our fight for economic justice, for social justice, for environmental sanity, for a world of peace for every one of those states. Reporter but there really is not any denying that Hillary Clinton was the big winner last night, especially for her performance in Southern States. Her campaign has told me that they are looking forward to the 15th of this month and beyond hoping that they will be able to deliver that knockout punch to Bernie Sanders. Essentially, what shes saying is right now shes focusing just a little bit lesson sanders and a little bit more on the republicans. Listen. Its clear tonight that the stakes in this election have never been higher. And the rhetoric were hearing on the other side has never been lower. Reporter Hillary Clinton is in new york today and Bernie Sanders is in the state of maryland. Carol . Joe, thank you. It looks like it will be an epic battle between Hillary Clinton and donald trump when all is said and done in the general election unless establishment voters can kick trump to the curb. It could happen. Establishment republicans say they are fighting for the future of the Republican Party while democrats have fully embraced their liberalism. With me to talk about all of this, cnn political commentator, welcome to both of you. Nice to see you. Caley, the voters are spoken, at least on super tuesday. Im wondering, who does the Republican Establishment Party represent exactly . It doesnt represent anyone, as were finding. They represent a small minority who is trying to rally behind marco rubio. The republican establishment has betrayed the republican voter time and time again and vote on raising it by 1. 3 trillion and promise to Fund Planned Parenthood and then they dont. They have repeatedly lied and at the end of the day, voters will rally behind whoever the nominee is. The Political Class might now. But take my word, the voters will. I want to talk about trumps win and the breadth of his win. He won in several states. Does that make it not defined by ideology or geography . It seems wherever there are angry voters he has a potential base. Look, i think a lot of america i hope a lot of america is waking up in a cold sweat this morning. That once we thought was a joke and a long shot is now really a possibility and the most dangerous thing at this point are people thinking that, you know f. We keep wishing it will happen, donald trump will go away. People need to Pay Attention now. This is not a drill anymore, folks. He could actually become president. A man who is afraid to or refuses to denounce the kkk, who has built up his campaign on hating against muslims, against mexicans, against basically anyone who isnt his fan base who are rahrahrahing, who question the faith of the american president. This isnt funny anymore. Its frightening. Kayleigh, i want to talk about the minority votes. Donald trump didnt attract the nonwhite voters. Rubio won nonwhite voters in georgia and alabama there were so few blacks or latinos, they didnt even register in the republican election. So donald trump doesnt have support, seemingly, among minorities, and many analysts say he cant win in a general election against Hillary Clinton if he doesnt have any minority support. I think he will get minority support. Because heres the thing. Black unemployment has never been worse in this country in the last decade. Its way worse than it has been since the beginning of the obama presidency. Black unemployment is terrible. A lot of blacks, black pastors who have rallied around donald trump and support him, support him because of his message of economic growth. Who . They know who . There have been many who sally kohn, i want to refute something that you said. You said donald trump refuses to avow the kkk. He disavowed them on friday and in 2000 he called david duke a racist, a problem. Hes repeatedly disavowed this group. Its wrong to insinuate anything less than that. It is wrong. You know that im not the only one saying it and you know that he has made some pretty wishywashy statements. Hes been given clear opportunities to denounce it. You know this wall donald trump talks about building . Hes not going to be able to build a wall and make mexico pay for a wall. The wall is a metaphor. Its a metaphor for angry mostly white voters who fear this country is changing in ways that are the cause of their unsettlement. They are not going to blame republican tax policy for decades that has given more money and power to the rich and the big business and instead they are going to blame mexican immigrants. They are not going to blame any other number of things. They are going to keep finding scapegoats for their problems and here comes donald trump saying, yes, ill wall you off from all of this change. No. The wall is not a metaphor. The wall is not a metaphor. Instead of which violates the values on which this country was founded. And i pray that americans are better than that. Sally, the wall is not a metaphor. It has nothing to do with racism or bigotry. It has to do with national security. 60 isis fighters made it into europe because of lack immigration policies and killed 153 parisians. Look, no one is building a wall against canada, kayleigh. Okay. I have to leave it there. I think were getting a taste of the general election to come. Sally kohn and kayleigh mcenery, thank you. A highstake Abortion Case reaches the u. S. Supreme court.

It involves texas but could affect clinics across the country. This is what it looks like outside the u. S. Supreme court right now. Abortion activists. They opposed this texas law because it requires abortion clinics to upgrade their facilities to hospitallike standards. It also requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at local hospitals. We sat down with the cowriter of this texas law. Listen. How does removing access to health care increase health care . Were not removing access. Were improving. Reporter so the intention of the law was not to do away with abortions . No. Reporter it was just to make them impossible . You have to have it in a procedure where it can be healthy. Reporter of course. You dont cut a woman in an abortion, though. That is true. You do not. With me is constitutional lawyer jonathan turley. Thank you for being with me. Thank you, carol. This texas law, who is behind it . That depends on who you ask. This presents a very interesting question with the texas court. Its a careful line as to what the states can do while not making abortion which many people believe will provide final clarity to that, once the courts seem to have a majority to create a brightline rule, we have the passing of justice scalia. So if you talk to people that are in favor of prochoice, this is a truly devastating potential case. Over 50 of clinics in texas are either shut down or likely to shut down under these limitations. On the other hand, if you talk to prolife people, they have said the court has said that we can impose reasonable limitations. These are limitations direct related to the health of the patients. You can disagree with the state but this is what the state wants for abortion providers to meet. That present as difficult question for the swing justice in these cases who is, of course, Justice Anthony kennedy. In 1992, 2007, kennedy was a key vote in these Abortion Cases. He did write the decision saying that you could outlaw a lateterm abortion. So he is someone who take as middle position and where he would fall in a case like this. So the accents of justice scalia, does that how does that affect the court as far as this decision is concerned . Well, first and foremost, he obviously would have voted in favor of texas. Now, the lower court did in fact support texas. Its also important to note that the seventh circuit actually struck down a Wisconsin Law that put limitations on clinics. Theres a division among the circuits. With the passing of justice scalia, you have an eightmember court and lose that conservative vote. So all eyes will be on kennedy. If it splits 44, then the Lower Court Decision stands and that will be a victory for texas legislators but will avoid what a lot of prochoice people feared, which is a sweeping decision, embracing the right of states to impose these types of laws. Jonathan turley, thank you for your insight. Thank you. Still to come in the newsroom, we know who won but why did voters choose them . A super tuesday exit polling, next. When i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung,h. It was serious. Fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. Treatment with xarelto®. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto®. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto® is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto®. Was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®.

Muddle no more® we know donald trump and Hillary Clinton were the big winners on tuesday but who was voting and why . Christy romans is tracking the exit polls this morning. Hi, christine. Hi there, carol. Ive got to tell you, the depth of the anger among gop voters is quite stark. Donald trump clearly dominated the night. I want to start with tennessee. Those voters chose donald trump as their candidate over ted cruz about twotoone. In arkansas, they chose trump as their guy. Another pervasive anger in the south, lets move north now to the more moderate massachusetts. Trump is leading with conservatives and moderates and of those who say they want someone outside the establishment, an astounding 74 chose trump. Lets talk about what you are seeing on the board. Arkansas, the democrats here, so interesting here. Among the democrats, the younger they were, the more likely they were to vote for Bernie Sanders. Thats what they told us on their way out of the polls. When you talk about race, the more diverse the state, minorities more likely to vote for Hillary Clinton. Lets look to virginia. These are people who decided to vote in the last few days. This is an interesting trend on the republican side of the race. If you decided in the last few days, chances are you voted for marco rubio. Donald trump is second there but rubio, 38 . Super interesting how the late breakers were for rubio but just about Everything Else was for donald trump. One thing about oklahoma, another kind of crack in the foundation, maybe, ted cruz won oklahoma, his neighboring state. Voters there put cruz and rubio put cruz and rubio ahead as the candidates who share their values. So when asked, who shares my values, that is most important to me, that was cruz and rubio, not donald trump. Carol . Christine romans reporting for us, thanks so much. And good morning. Im carol costello. Thank you for joining me. John kasich forging ahead in his bid to be the republican president ial nominee despite not winning a single state on super tuesday. Governor kasich often points to his budget balancing skills as a reason voters should put him in the white house. His rival, donald trump, also touts his business credentials and says hes the one to get the economy moving, something that the Obama Administration says that trump has made bad deals. Were being killed on trade, absolutely destroyed. China is just taking advantage of us. I have nothing against china. I have Great Respect for china. Their leaders are too smart for our leaders. Our leaders dont have a clue. Ben stein is an economist and working with the nixon president ial library. A trip to china that normalized relations with that country. Ben, welcome. Glad youre here. Honored to be here. Thank you very much. You know, its rather ironic that youre celebrating the relations between the United States and china and donald trump says china is killing our economy. Are they killing our economy . No, hes wrong. China is selling us highquality goods at low prices and starting a trade war is exactly the wrong thing to do. Theres no such thing as a winner in a trade war. For mr. Trump to be saying that hes going to start one is just plain foolish. Hes not going to get u. S. Jobs back. Hes going to make u. S. U. S. Goods will not be able to be exported to china. China goods will be more expensive. Trade wars dont work. He says that china is devaluing our economy and currency. Is it . Thats not true. He can say we can flap our wings and fly. He can say anything. China is devaluing its own currency to be able to trade to the u. S. And in some ways that is not good and while not Many Americans are competing with ch chinese for jobs, we are really blessed by them because they sell us their goodquality goods at a bargain price and invest u. S. Treasury and bonds. So we really win every way you look at it. But heres the thing. The New York Times is reporting that trade with china has cost americans far more jobs than anticipated. And by that they mean manufacturing jobs which have dried up over the course of 10 or 20 years. This is a very almost very unfortunate for these people and made them with lawyers and psychiatrists and it just is not true that china is hurting us in any kind of meaningful way and its not true that were going to get jobs back by talking tough to them. China is a proud, powerful country. We cant talk down to them and they are a very big power and, as i say, they are doing us a favor. Do you know what donald trump would say to you if they are listening . Ben stein . What would he say . What would he say . What would he say . He would probably say youre not a billionaire like i am because youve got to know anything but the fact is that i know a billionaire named warren buffett, a and he thinks free trade is a good thing. Most people who know anything about economics knows that free trade is a good thing. They should be retrained to get into competition that they are not competing with chinese workers. Generally speaking, trade with china is a very big thing with the u. S. And, plus, lets remember, 600 million chinese out of dire poverty and they are fellow human beings just like us. Im thinking that outofwork americans are not feeling much sympathy. Not because they dont care but because they are hurting, too. The ability to ask not be done in a meaningful way. Were doing well to have free trade with china. You know, i just wondered, who are you supporting this time around . Obviously its not donald trump. Who is it . I dont know. I went to law school with the clintons so ive always had a kind of fondness with her. She was also a very young woman in those days and i like her. I admire the fact that Bernie Sanders has a singlepayer National Health plan. When i worked for mr. Nixon as a speechwriter, i sent up a proposal for singlepayer health plan. I would like to see it a republican. Ive never voted for a democrat. I like mr. Trump but i think hes dangerously misinformed. What about the other candidates . I like marco rubio because hes hanging in albatros. Mr. Trump did disavow the ku klux klan. To say otherwise is not true. I like ted cruz very much. If i could snap my fingers and have anyone, it would be marco rubio but i think hes been a little bit disingenuous lately. Speaking about disingenuousness, i wanted to ask you about Chris Christie because a lot of republicans say he sold out. Theres a picture of Chris Christie thats gone viral from last night. Hes standing behind donald trump and has this terrible look on his face and people, of course, are reading all sorts of things into that. Do you read anything into Chris Christies face . No, i dont. Chris christie was and is a very, very capable governor, a very intelligent guy, extremely competent lawyer. I think he made a mistake getting on the trump bandwagon and i hope that bandwagon does not drag us out to sea like the goldwater did. I dont want to see that happen again to the Republican Party but im afraid thats what is coming down the road. Ben stein, thanks for being with me. I appreciate it. My great pleasure. Thank you.

A piece of debris likely belonging to that plane has been found off the coast of moz zam beak. An aviation source telling us there is no other record of this type of plane missing. That particular part except for flight 370. Remember, last year, the first confirmed debris from the missing flight was found on reunion eye land. Cnns Richard Quest is with me now. Hes written a book called the vanishing of flight 370. So the significance of this is find is what . If you look at the map again, this piece, believed to be from the horizontal stabilizer, its exactly on the opposite side of the indian ocean from australia. Look where the first piece, the flaperon was found, and then you just go around madagascar to the eastern coast of africa. And what is very interesting is this is what the experts the oceanographers always said. This is where you were going to find. If you didnt find it in 2014, over the two years, it has drifted. We dont know where this piece came ashore. It might have came ashore months ago and only just been discovered. Thats the unknown here. You know what my next question is. Does this make it easier for them to find this plane and all of the people who went down with this plane . Im sorry to say, but no. They will be able to reverse drift it and it will take them roughly back to the area where this happened off australia. But it wont tell them any more than the flaperon tells them. It wont tell them what happened at 19 minutes past 1 00 on the 8th of march 2014. Nor will it tell them really how the plane went into the water. Did it dive in . Its unlikely to tell them this far gone but they will be forensically diagnosing it. We hope its not the fiasco that we saw with the first flaperon that was found off reunion island. Lets hope that they definitively and decisively determine this is or isnt from the plane. That would be different. Richard quest, thanks so much.

Super tuesday may have been Hillary Clintons night but Bernie Sanders isnt ready to give up the fight, even taking on the republican frontrunner in his vermont victory speech. When we bring our people together, what we do not allow the Donald Trumps of the world to divide us up. When we bring our people together and when we have the courage to stand up to the billionaire class and tell them they cant have it all while sanders believes billionaires may be holding the country back, it may be africanAmerican Voters who block his vote to the white house. He was trounced by africanAmerican Voters where clinton took the south states. Welcome to both of you. Welcome, marks. I will call you by your last names. Ill start with you, preston. Can Bernie Sanders win the nomination . Is there any way possible for that to happen . Carol, its certainly difficult, just like theres a path on the republican side to try to stop donald trump even though he has a win behind his back, there is a path for Bernie Sanders. A couple things that we need to keep in mind. One is the way the democratic process is set up is that Hillary Clinton will not officially clinch the nomination until late may, perhaps sometime in april. Also, what if something were to happen to Hillary Clinton. Theres a lot of talk about the investigation into her emails a he what have you. And if Bernie Sanders were to get out now, would that preclude him from potentially being picked as the nominee if she had to leave the race . Its smart for Bernie Sanders to stay in the race right now. The big pressure on Bernie Sanders, though, is to not make it personal about Hillary Clinton and continue to talk about the issues. Mark lamont hill, some say that they are glad that Bernie Sanders is staying in the race because it makes Hillary Clinton lean more left, number one, and it gives her something to fight for. Absolutely. Hillary clinton needs a good battletested primary. Thats always been the argument and i think thats still the case. But this is about getting the issues on the table. Its an uphill climb. He can absolutely win. Thats true. We cant assume that Hillary Clinton has to be the winner. This is about calling out wall street and forcing people to reimagine criminal justice and any battle between hillary and bernie makes that happen. The democratic side is still largely issuebase and i do think thats an incredibly important dialogue to have. Although Hillary Clinton supporters have moved on to the general election already, its going to be, you know, trump versus clinton. Earlier on new day, the former secretary of state Madeleine Albright appeared. Shes a clinton supporter. Heres what she had to say. I think that hillary will have the turnout. The democrats will be energized in order to make sure that we have as commanderinchief as president somebody who knows what she is doing and ready on day one and, believe me, the International Situation is going to get even more complicated. All right. Shes talking about the enthusiasm factor, mark preston. Bernie sanders supporters are much more enthusiastic than the Hillary Clinton supporters are about her. If you look at the most recent cnn orc poll, the problem with that is that we are in the month of march right now. We are not in the month of november. Weve also seen donald trump being able to rally an incredible amount of support to his candidacy, even though his detractors say 65 of his republicans are not backing him. However, 65 of democrats will probably back him. They have to be careful not to take trump support for granted. There is something within his message as some people find it vulgar. There is something that is connecting with voters and there is a strain of anger right now in the american electorate that wants to see some change here in washington, carol. Mark lamont hill, when hillary is giving her victory speech last night, she talked about love and kindness. Right now she wants to look president ial and look above the fray. The democrats are talking about who has the biggest hands in such and as a result she wants to look like shes bigger than all of this. Its a very president ial turn. To some he cextent, its trying move her into general election mode. Youll see the gloves come off. The clintons are no strangers to bare knuckle politics. Lets not assume that Hillary Clinton has to win. Anything can happen. We dont want to buy into the inevitably. Certainly Bernie Sanders can be. Fair enough. Mark lamont hill, mark preston, lets go to the newsroom. Donald trump turns a small insult into a big spectacle. Its a sign of early gum disease. Listerine r can help reverse. Early gum disease in just two weeks. Listerine r . Power to your mouth™ i work here at my namfive star auto care. In rocklin california. A lot of thought was put into the change to solar and we couldnt have done it without pg e. Pg e is very committed to clean energy. Working with five star auto care we looked at how we could make their business more Energy Efficient and save them money in the long run. With solar we have saved about 85 on our energy cost. With this extreme drought were using the savings from our solar system to save every last drop of water. If you are looking for ways to save energy, your first step is to call pg e. Together, were building a better california. So when did the race for the republicans get to ugly . It could be when one accused the other of having tiny hands. Heres cnn jeannies into. You hajeanne moos. They are such liars. The worst. Reporter but these expressive hands are what rival marco rubio had the nerve to call small. And you know what they say about man with small hands. You cant trust them. Reporter trust trump to pick up the gauntlet. Ive always had people say, donald, you have the most beautiful hands. Reporter we tried to remain a handsoff attitude about this story but when the donald jumped in, so did we. He said i have small hands. They are not small, are they . Ive never heard that one before. Reporter oh, yes, he did, says the editor of the vanity fair, who once described trump as a short fingered vulgarian. Actually, quite short, the editor wrote back to trump. Others have piled on. A website called shortfingers. Com post what seem to be real and photoshopped photos emphasizing trumps hands. The new republic said his tiny fingers reflect cocktail weenies and that christies hands are even smaller than the donald. One commenter suggested russian leader Vladimir Putin also has short fingers, as if all tough guys have a small hand complex to make up for. But Trump Supporters are more interested in shape than size. Specifically, if they got this much exercise, jeanne moos, cnn, new york. Thank you for watching. At this hour with berman and bolduan starts now. What took you so long to say so . Ive been taking donald on directly. They kill people. Dont play games with that. Get used to
