About what kind of democrat is going to be electable? >> well, we dont know who is going to be electable yet until the general election happens so i dont want to get ahead of myself there but the margin of victory was definitely striking. i think its all the things that people have already said this morning here, you know, his look, his ability to connect with voters, kind of his outside the box persona, but i would also add that the democratic establishment really stayed out of this race and i ...

Theyre choosing not to buy necessarily the big box tvs and the more expensive appliances so when you have that choice youre not necessarily spending on absolutely everything. yesterday with walmart, too, it was a very similar story. those at the lower income threshold were buying more private label products and private label is cheaper than the brand. when we start to see that shift thats a concern that maybe were pulling back. maybe the economy is not as strong as what we originally thought. so...

Think. he may be able to over come it. if he is at all weakened it put the state back in to play and gives the republicans a leg up. >> right, absolutely and what about the other swing state, north carolina, where the very controversial and embattled trump candidate, madison cawthorns that his own party turning on him after a number or missteps there and except, we see donald trump coming out yet again, saying that cawthorn should be given a second chance. what do you expect to happen in this ra...

Person on the minds on the folks on the sense is chuck edwards. when you have a crowded field, it makes it hard for any one of those people to knock the incumbent out of the way. and cawthorn despite all the challenges, he has the trump endorsement and the name recognition and seen as a star on the right. >> and again, if this were a normal 50% plus 1, cawthorn would be deader than a door nail but because of the 30% threshold, he has a chance to survive. thank you. for more of our pennsylvania...

And we have for years, but rules and candidates and campaigns matter, and so as youre talk talking about, you know, pennsylvania which kristen was just talking about, thats a closed primary. only republicans can vote in that primary. not a lot of early voting. that will make a difference in the democratic primary. in north carolina, ted budd is going to win this in the walk, a trump-endivorced candidate but when trump endorsed him last year he didnt surge to 50% in the polls. he got a little bit...

Forcefully and fully behind ted bud. their intention has been to move towards november and a matchup between budd and easily. and so people are already turning their attention toward that. they are assuming budd secured the win. its cawthorn who has to worry about which way this could go. one republican we talked to said 50% of his friends have been on the fence of cawthorn because of the string of controversies about him. thats really the race to watch here. >> its a 30% threshold to avoid a pr...

April. this gentleman you just met there told us that he ultimately did end up voting for congressman cawthorn, that he kind of went with his gut. to give you a sense, some of the words weve heard today have been immature, not ready. people have been considering state senator chuck edwards who you mentioned a moment ago. so what i would say is if i were congressman cawthorn, i would be grateful that the threshold today is 30% and not 50% in order to avoid a runoff. >> antonia hylton live for us ...

Can be electable. >> this 30% people dont realize it. its a thats why the south invented the runoff. north carolina has attempted to moderate it a bit. ironically, this 30% maybe what saves madison cawthorn. >> the only thing that saves him from himself is a 30% threshold. the reality is as we view things in all things being about donald trump, we all have trump on the brain, if 70% or 69% of republican primary voters vote against the person that trump not only endoorsed but said lets give this ...

Controversies. correspondent jonathan serrie is in charlotte tonight with the latest on. that was good evening, jonathan. >> good evening to you, bret. todays primary is going to put to the test some key endorsements from president trump here in north carolina. they include freshman congressman madison cawthorn who faces seven republican challengers in his renomination bid. the 26-year-old has alienated many establishment conservatives after a series of controversies that include two attempts to...

Thug, representing people in that district in north carolina. one more thing, 30% threshold in north carolina. everybody is watching. it could come down to the last vote, see if he clears that 30% or keep him under it, then they go to a runoff. >> a lot to learn. thanks so much. just ahead, well bring you supreme court decisions released this hour, including one involving campaign finance and the texas senator, ted cruz. and wasting up to 20 gallons of water. skip the rinse with fininish quant...
