From a rocky week. He is doubling down on his calls for rival kasich to drop out of the race. And cruz taking out his first negative ad against kasich. Hes 1 in 30. He ought to get the hell out. Just like a stubborn guy. Hes stubborn. He doesnt want to leave. Let me tell you, he hurts me much more than he hurts cruz. Cruz wants him out. Cruz is wrong. He hurts me. There are only two candidates whose names will appear on the ballot. Donald trump and myself. Under the rules, you have to have won eight states. There are only two candidates who will have met that. The choice will be between me and donald trump and i believe we will win that election. If there is a contested convention, you know, one of the easiest ways to understand that is simply the question, where do the rubio delegates and where do the kasich delegates go, and i think they naturally come to us, and this puts us over a majority. Pressure mounting as the candidates steel themselves for what could be a contested convention. Lets get right to senior White House Correspondent jim acosta. Where trump will be speaking any minute now. Trump really has to make up ground here. Yes, i think so, youre right, you heard what trump said at that last rally in wisconsin. A win would certainly change everything in this race. And that is why youre hearing him go after not only ted cruz but john kasich. John kasich is not really a threat in terms of winning the nomination. He wants john kasich out of this race. Hes not even competing in wisconsin. But, you know, there is a fighting spirit. There is this internal memo that was obtained by the Washington Post. Showing they feel like trump is winning. And hes been trying to clean up after all those remarks. He was talking about the comment to the Washington Post that the country may be heading towards a very major recession. Trump said at that rally yes, i said that. But i also believe if im elected president , there wont be a recession. Hes still capable of creating some controversy. He retweeted a video that talks about the fighting spirit inside the campaign. Were at war. No one wants to admit it but humanity is under attack. One very specific man might be all that stands between humanity and t and. That man is my father. That video is not even produced by the Trump Campaign. We run into this all the time. Trump supporters are very much behind this candidate despite everything weve heard over the last week. Were not getting any indication theyre fleeing from this gop frontrunner. It could be an interesting mix in milwaukee. His wife mill lan ya trump will be with him. But it will be just down the street from a Bernie Sanders rally. That could be a potentially volatile mix. Pam. We will be keep being a close eye on that. Thank you very much. Wins in wisconsin could give both campaigns shots of momentum. If he has any chance of stopping trump short of the delegates he needs. So here to break down the math, cnns dana bash, chief political correspondent. I want to start with this report. You just got a hold of the internal memo that jim mentioned. What does it say . Its this onepage memo. All you have to do is read the line, and ill keep it clean, digging through the b. S. , so that gives you a sense. Its from a senior trump adviser. It was written to the trump team. The gist of it is basically trying to buck up the team after a bad week by saying trumps worst week is a creation of the media. And going through the reuters tracking poll, which is a poll that is done every day. Saying that despite the narrative, trump is still doing well and the memo concludes trump, 1, washington establishment media, 0. That gives you a sense of what this is. Its kind of a way to, you know, buck people up internally but the fact it was leaked is not an accident, its the message they want to get out. Ahead of the primary tomorrow. Theres a lot of horse trading going on behind the scenes, right . Whats going on right now . Its just start, but its probably nothing compard to what we will likely see if, in fact, there is no outright republican nominee because of or due to the actual context. Like were going to see in wisconsin tomorrow. So there are all kinds of toing and froing. Going on for a while, pam, within the Cruz Campaign, theyve had a tremendous organization really from the get go and theyve been watching these contests. And not just the contests but the nominating processes that come after the contest. After the media and everybody have left the state. Done nad Trumps Campaign, especially after meeting with the rnc last week, theyre kicking it into high gear as well. Theres a lot of talk now about whether or not there will be this white knight, somebody who will potentially emerge from the convention if there is no nominee who is not currently running, and ted cruz in wisconsin campaigning today had a thing or two to say about that. Listen to this. This fever pipe dream of washington that at the convention they will parachute in some white knight who will save the washington establishment. It is nothing less than a pipe dream. It aint going to happen. If it did, the people would quite rightly revolt. And one of the names that has been talked about on and off is the House Speaker paul ryan who i should note is going to be the speaker and the chair of the convention. Hes going to be kind of the guy in charge of keeping the trains on track which will not be an easy job. The Republican National chair Reince Priebus told cnn on sunday that he does not believe that paul ryan or anybody else who is not running for president will end up being the nominee. Now, that has changed, that could happen, ive seen it change. When paul ryan said no, he didnt want to be the speaker about 100 times and then hes the speaker. So that could happen. But right now the republican chair is saying huhuh. Anything can happen if theres one thing we learned from this race. Dana bash, thank you. Just ahead on this monday, a revealing new profile on donald trump suggests he now wears a bulletproof vest and has a arsenal of secrets about fox news. Plus, at least 20 terrorists reportedly on the run right now. Terrorists connected to the attacks in paris and brussels. Why do so many businesses rely on the Us Postal Service .

Gov john kasich revving in the spotlight today and the new found attention from ted cruz who was on the attack with his first ads targeting the Ohio Governor and donald trump whos calling for him to drop out. Take a listen to what kasich said just a short time ago. Im dropping in, im not dropping out. Now listen, heres the situation. The reason why trump said kasich needs to get out. I mean, think about what this guy said. And i want to have my votes. This is not fair. I thought we got out of the sand box years ago. Look, they wanted me to get out for a long time. Let me tell you what the situation is. Why would i get out when im the only person, number one who beats hillary in the fall . Joining me now to discuss, john nicole, political writer, National Affairs correspondent for the nation and associate editor for the Capital Times and wisconsin grown, good to have you on. We just heard john kasich basically saying too bad hes not going anywhere, hes, quote, going to get a heck of a lot of trumps voters. Just how devastating is his presence in this race for trump and cruz . Trump contends its worse for him than for cruz. Trump may be right. John kasichs presence independent race overall is very significant. Its significant in wisconsin. John kasich has run a Remarkable Campaign in wisconsin. A little under the radar because theres so much attention to the trump cruz fight. John kasich has recognized that wisconsin lost most of its delegates by congressional district, not by the statewide vote, so he has targeted rural areas and certain more moderate cities frankly. Snirt, he saturday night, he was watching basketball in madison with a big crowd of people. Im not suggesting hes going to win wisconsin, but it is very possible he could come out with a chunk of delegates and it is also quite possible that a good many of those delegates might have gone to donald trump. So then lets just kind of hone in on a little more of the direct impact that could have on donald trump versus ted cruz. Who has more to lose . In wisconsin, trump has the most to lose because he could well get beat in wisconsin by ted cruz. Ted cruz is an unlikely candidate for the rest of the race. Remember this, if you look at where were going from here, new york, pennsylvania, maryland, connecticut, places like that, those are not natural ted cruz turf. But some of them, especially pennsylvania, that might be a good place for john kasich. And so if trump is pushed back, if he is weakened in wisconsin and this race does go forward, as long as kasich comes out of wisconsin with a reasonable number, as long as he looks viable, theres a real chance that the dynamic of wisconsin could be cruz gets a victory he cant get any place else, that weakens trump, but it also creates a bit of an opening not merely for the speculation about an open convention but also for kasich to begin to position himself as a momentum candidate against a trump. Hence why so many people are saying wisconsin could really be a big turning point in this race. Im going to look at the democratic side. The Bernie Sanders campaign has called it devastating if they were to lose in wisconsin. Is it really that dramatic . How high are the stakes for Hillary Clinton there . Sure. The stakes are incredibly high for sanders in wisconsin because just as i suggested over on the republican side, youve got the notion of a momentum candidacy. A momentum candidacy is different than a delegate candidacy. The delegate numbers are what they are and they will also be noted and analyzed. Momentum is something else. Its the sense that even if youre not ahead in delegates, you keep moving forward, that people are interested in you, theyre engaged with you. For sanders to maintain a momentum candidacy, he needs a wisconsin win. He has to do well in wisconsin. That then takes him to new york and pennsylvania and the rest of these states. For clinton, theres a little less at stake but its important. Because if clinton gets beat at a significant level, if shes down double digits, of course that is a hit. That keeps her in the race longer against Bernie Sanders. I have to ask you, any predictions for tomorrow in wisconsin . Sure. My prediction for tomorrow is donald trump will perhaps do a little better than some people expected. Hes working incredibly hard. I dont know if he can overtake ted cruz. John kasich will also get a good vote out of wisconsin, more than some people expect. On the democratic side, i think that race has tightened up a little bit. But it certainly looks at this point like sanders who put in incredibly intense effort while clinton is away that sanders is probably going to get that advantage. A lot of people may well be deciding right up till Tuesday Morning which primary to vote in, whether they take a democratic ballot or republican ballot so its a little up in the air. Hence it big push there today from the candidates. John nichols, really interesting insight from you, thank you very much. Its a pleasure to be with you. Up next on this monday, theres a new report that says theres a growing list of fugitives of an isis inspired Terror Network on the loose in europe and now authorities there have names to go on.

A chilling new report gives details on at least eight key members on an isisinspired Terror Network who are on the run now and believed to be operating in europe. Accord to report, these men are linked to the Terror Network behind the bombings that took place in brussels last month and the terror attacks in paris last year. Lets bring in our Cnn International diplomatic editor Nic Robertson live in london. What can you tell us about where this investigation into finding these suspects is so far . Its really alarming to think theyre still operating in europe as we speak. This is a big worry for european intelligence agencies. One of those on the list of eight who went to syria in the beginning of 2014 with abaaoud, the principal organizer behind the paris attacks. Now, that puts him in the frame of somehow being connected. Another name we have is najim al hamid. He was picked up by salah abdeslam. He was sort of the fourth suicide bomber, the French National stadium in the paris for the paris attacks. He didnt blow up his explosives. He picked up al hamid in germany, brought him back to brussels at that time. Hes on the run. Whereabouts unknown. These are sm of the connections. For intelligence agencies at the moment, there was still some uncertainty. There had been reports that he may be dead. Isis may have put out pictures of him appearing to be dead to cover his tracks and give him a second lease of life, if you will. On the other hand, the assessment may finally come back he is indeed dead. These are the things that intelligence ajen advice working with. Across europe, the fact these eight men are out there, associated with the paris and brussels attacks, thats a real concern. We saw with salah abdeslam. In the meantime, they could be plotting other attacks that they can turn around very quickly or others in the groups can turn around very quickly if any of them get picked up, pam. There are all these different connections. It really gives you a sense this isnt just one big group, that these are sort of multiple groups connected in various ways responsible for these attacks, right . Sure. If you sort of take a step back, which is what a belgium journalist did about a week ago, he kind of plotted out, okay, who else connected with abaaoud, because hes seen as a principal organizer, and a recruiter, a radical recruiter in belgium whos now in jail but all the People Associated with him that he inspired and then sent off to syria, if you kind of build a couple of rings out from them, belgium authorities have tried in be absentia some of the peop associated with this recruiter, then you get to a number of over 20 people potentially, and of course you can build that out further. Its very hard to put a specific number on it but the rings build out and the concern is across europe as a whole potentially 1,500 people have gone to join isis and come back, 1,500 have come back, and the problem is literally staying on top of that. In the uk, last 18 months, seven plots have been thwarted, you know, every day its a stretch and a strain to deal with those additional people. Have they come back, where are they, how do you track them. So this is the concern Going Forward. And its not just the ones they know about. Whats most disturbing to these officials is what they dont know. Those still operating they dont know about, dont have their names. Nic robertson, thank you very much for that reporting, we appreciate it. Meantime were getting an inside look at Donald Trumps small cir
