In miami in what could be the most critical debate of the democratic race. Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton are about to face off. 24 hours after sanders pulled off a major upset. Thats an understatement. So unexpected the Sanders Campaign itself was taken by utter surprise. We are going to be going to that debate stage in just a couple of moments here at miamidade college. Senator Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are preparing to face off as we speak. Youre going to see here on cnn and on univision. In a state where she led by every single poll up to the last minute and now counting down to next tuesday another round of primaries, make or break. 691 delegates will be at stake across florida, ohio, illinois, missouri, and North Carolina. Clinton holding major leads in North Carolina, florida, and ohio. She leads sanders 61 to 34 . Ohio even bigger. The polls showing a 30point lead. 63 to 33 over sanders. Sanders message on the economy worked. Will clinton seal the deal . Im joined by our distinguished panel of political experts all with me here in miami. I want to begin with jeff zeleny. Obviously, this is not what Hillary Clinton wanted or expected to be the story line tonight. Reporter erin, no question about that. The Clinton Campaign hoped by this moment they would be really looking forward to november, looking forward to the summer of building an argument against the republican nominee be it donald trump or someone else. That is all thrown out the window. On monday night on the eve of that michigan primary Hillary Clinton said so herself. She said, come on democrats, the sooner we pick a nominee, the sooner we can go after republicans. She has to again drill down on the differences between her and Bernie Sanders. Particularly on the economic message. His message worked so well in michigan on trade, on other things. So theyre going to go back and try to relitigate some of the things. She still leads in delegates of course, but this is not where Hillary Clinton wanted to be tonight. Certainly not. I guess the other question is where else does Bernie Sanders think he can repeat his michigan showing. Were going through those polls in some of the crucial states. Hillary clinton with massive leads in the polls as she was heading into michigan. Is in anywhere else he can pull off an upset . Reporter the Clinton Campaign isnt looking at those polls at all because they dont believe them. If you look at the demographics, the states that fit michigan anticipate tand the others the most are ohio, missouri, and illinois. He knows florida and North Carolina are too diverse of an electorate for him. He believes that white working class, particularly in ohio similar to michigan. They believe that could be a launching spot. The Sanders Campaign says we may not win any other states next week, but there are other states going down the map here. Ohio is so similar to michigan. Thats what im keeping my eye on as we head into next week. Erin . All right, thank you very much, jeff. As he watches ohio, hits home at one of the major reasons Bernie Sanders was able to pull off the major upset last night. The americans are outraged over what has happened in this country because of free trade policies. Sanders beat Hillary Clinton by 15 points among democrats who say trade deals are taking away american jobs. Will this be a Clinton Achilles heel . Secretary clinton supported virtually every one of these disastrous trade agreements written by Corporate America reporter in the labor stronghold of michigan, Bernie Sanders hit Hillary Clinton where it hurts, on her past support for trade agreements, including nafta, signed into law by her husband. I was on a picket line in the early 1990s reporter exit polling shows 1 3 of michigan democrat voters say theyre a union household. Its called the transpacific partnership, but in michigan it might as well be a dirty word. After advocating for the tpp 45 times at the state department, clinton came out as a candidate against it in october. As of today, i am not in favor of what i have learned about it. Reporter sanders says it is too little, too late. I was one of the first, not one of the last, to be in opposition to the tpp. Reporter clinton is trying to cast her opposition as a thoughtful decision. I came out against the tpp. After it was finished, i thought it was reasonable to know what was in it before i opposed it. I oppose it. Reporter michigan voters dont seem to buy it. Sanders beat clinton among voters who believe International Trade takes away american jobs. In illinois, trade is likely to come up again. It could follow clinton into the general election if she faces donald trump. Donald trump said this to larry king in 1999. I think you have to be treated fairly by other countries. If other countries arent going to treat you fairly, they should suffer the consequences. Reporter its an unusual position for a republican, but hes been talking about it over and over on the campaign trail. Shes not going to bring back trade. Michigan has been devastated by bad trade deals. Shes not going to bring back trade. Shes not going to bring back businesses. Shes not going to bring back all the employment thats gone, all the factories that are closed. All right. Obviously having a little bit of a technical difficulty. I want to go straight to our panel. Jeffrey lord joins me here along with nia henderson, donna brazil, and a Bernie Sanders supporter, and maria cardona. You got it . Everybody out there, i hope you have memorized it. We saw that great piece by brianna about trade. Bernie sanders opposition to trade deals, heard h hurt him i michigan. Helped him in michigan. Were seeing across both parties. Thats whats so interesting. Donald trump won that vote of the folks that think trade deals give jobs away and Bernie Sanders won it. This is the similar appeal thats going on with the populist notion. Bernie sanders did himself a lot of good with that message in michigan. I would imagine if you look at states like ohio and illinois and possibly missouri he could be competitive in those states coming up next week as well. Do you think he can pull off a win in one of those states . Theyre obviously lowering expectations. Tighter than those poll s suggest. If you spend any time in detroit or the midwest, youre seeing foreclosed homes that have been abandoned by folks. Youre seeing main streets that are devastated and people have lost their jobs. Hes tapping into the reality of what people have been experiencing and Hillary Clinton hasnt been able to do that in the same way. What went wrong . Lets start with the obvious fact that the polling that was done stopped before the debate on sunday. Second thing, i do believe you had a very large sizable number of independent voters who voted in a democratic primary. That could have underestimated the numbers. But the bottom line is the people in michigan had an opportunity to vote for two strong candidates. At the end of the day, it was a very close vote, but they wanted somebody who promised change. Weve heard that message before. Bernie sanders is running an incredible campaign. A message that resonated on jobs, on talking about trade deals, foreclosure. I think he answered the question that many voters had in their minds, which is will you help us. How big of a blow is this to clinton . This was supposed to be an easy win. She was going to have this that was supposed to be the conversation tonight, but it wasnt. Sure. Obviously, people dont like losing. It was very close. It was a blow to the campaign. But lets also remember that she came out of this with more delegates than bernie did at the end of the day. At the end of the day, it is all about the delegates. Going back to the message does it show a weakness in a candidate that cant wrack up big wins . Im going to that because im going to the messages. I think we overstate if were saying her message is not resonating. Shes done very well in many other states. She came very close in michigan. The fact of the matter is i saw some numbers when she talked about bernies vote on the auto bailout, she did draw some blood. The late deciders, which were about 15 , they broke for her by four points. That didnt hurt her. It might have helped her. You might have some other Union Households saying she took Union Households where there were a lot of Union Households. A lot of young people came out. I dont know if there was a deficit in the africanamerican vote. We saw the margins were smaller in terms of her advantage with africanamerican voters. Right. Jonathan . You did not expect a win. I didnt expect us to win honestly, but i thought it would be very close. Heres why. Tens of thousands of volunteers were making phone calls into michigan. This victory goes to the Broad Movement that bernie has sparked. I want to clarify something. Nobody is against trade. Every Single Person i know, including myself, who has opposed nafta and the agreements Hillary Clinton has supported, is for trade. All it is a bunch of exceptions for corporations on intellectual property. It does nothing for worke eers practically speaking. Hillary clinton has come out against the transpacific partnership. I dont think its a genuine opposition. I think it was entirely done because bernie has defined this election. Hes defined what this debate is going to be about, inequality and corporate power. Or she read a trade deal and she didnt like it. I think you guys polled it. It is something that has enormous energy among the Democratic Base and you knew. To your credit, you had to change your position. Or maybe she read the trade deal and didnt like it. Secretary clinton opposed cafta. One trade agreement. Facts are facts. People get upset when the clinton people mistake their record. I just want to be fair. Its not a uniform. Just to cafta, of all those trade agreements, is one of the smallest one. She supported the china deal, which Bernie Sanders opposed. South korea, you go down the list. Cafta was a small thing having to do with Central American companies that have very little trade with the united states. Thats going to be let me finish, donna. It connected to voters concerns of her corporate connections and the fact that she gets money from goldman sachs. Its going to be about future trade deals and future what i call job creation issues that i think democrats want to have a fight about, a conversation that lends itself to how do we build on the success of obama and create jobs. Florida voters youre all going to be back. Next, donald trump is speaking live to supporters. The other person who has rallied those who do not like trade deals. Hes in North Carolina tonight. If trump wins florida and ohio next week, is the race over . He said so today. Marco rubio getting zero delegates last night. Now trailing trump in his home state. My guest tonight dr. Ben carson.

And we are back live in miami tonight. The stage is set for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders to go head to head. Their first debate after the major michigan upset. It is a crucial debate you will see right here on cnn. Now this is happening as donald trump takes his campaign to North Carolina speaking to live to supporters right now after wracking up another three significant victories. Just moments ago, trump spoke to Anderson Cooper insisting he will win florida next week and the nomination. If you win ohio, kasich drops out and you win florida and rubio is gone and it is just you and cruz. If you dont get all the delegates needed to get the convention you think youll get all the delegates . I really think so, yes. You knock them out. If you knock them out, nothing can happen. Reporter donald trump is sounding like a winner today after taking michigan, mississippi, and hawaii and delivering a major blow to his rivals. Theyre pretty much all gone. Pretty much. They didnt do so well tonight, folks. Reporter the billionaire frontrunner is looking for a major knockout on tuesday in florida and ohio. I think were going to do really well in florida. Its my second home. I love florida. I love florida. I love florida. Its a special place. I think were going to do really well in ohio. Reporter trump is beating his home state rivals. In ohio, john kasich is trailing donald trump by six points. In florida, marco rubio is down 16 points. There are only two candidates in this race that have any plausible path of getting to 1237. As this race continues and continues to narrow into a clear twoman race, head to head donald trump loses and loses badly. Reporter cruz was the only other republican to win last night scoring a w in idaho and earning an endorsement from Carly Fiorina today. I checked the box for ted cruz and im here to tell you why. Reporter cruz is running third in ohio and florida. Marco rubio, john kasich, and ted cruz all slated to meet with jeb bush tomorrow before the big cnn republican debate. Jeb bush mulling whether or not hes going to endorse before march 15th in his home state. Donald trump acted with bravado saying if these guys cant beat him, how can they beat china or russia . Maybe they should all get together to stop Hillary Clinton in november. Thank you very much. At ur at a rally in florida. Let me start with you. Trump is saying it is pretty much done if he wins florida and ohio. Now, here in florida the air waves are flooded with antitrump ads. So i dont think theyre getting anywhere. I really do think when you have somebody who is a cultural figure like donald trump or Ronald Reagan or around schwarzenegger, it is impossible to go after them in these negative ads because the American People feel they know these guys. They agree with him on policy and message. This story that came out of georgia which i saw a couple minutes after it posted right before i was on your show and mentioned it. Holy cow, that thing is all over talk radio where the establishment and ceos of Tech Companies and members of the house and senate, karl rove, it doesnt get any worse than that for these guys. Is it true the more they conspire, the more voters are inspired . The more trump voters are inspired. Theres no doubt about that. We know how loyal his supporters are. That does any story about the never trump movement, the establishment taking him down, organizing some convoluted plan for a contested convention, all of that plays to trumps strengths. Theres no doubt about that. However, we shouldnt overlook the fact that donald trump, if he does become the nominee, hes going to have a lot of work to do with the party. You heard him start saying it last night. Unifying, what have you. A new poll out showed 53 of republicans would be satisfied with him as the nominee. That means 47 wouldnt be. Thats his todo list when he emerges or if he emerges with this nomination. Youve been talking positive. Im formally endorsing ted cruz tonight for one main reason. That is the fact i do not believe donald trump is going to be able to bring everyone together. His record of his past bothers me. It doesnt just bother me. He has not been sweeping. Hes not even g
