Hoosier state they may not be able to stop him at all. Trump and cruz engaged in a bitter and Stunning Exchange today. Every time you think this race cannot get any more ludicrous, it does. It started this morning when trump cited a bizarre and uncorroborated report i use the term report loosely in the National Enquirer, the supermarket tabloid, which has endorsed trump and published by a friend of trump launching smear after smear against cruz and his family. Think story shows a photograph from 1963, with a man soon to be standing with jfk assassin. It suggests the man is cruzs father, raphael. The problem is theres no proof na the photograph is cruzs. Dad and cruzs dad says its not him. Mr. Trump called in to the fox morning show and said the following his father with was Lee Harvey Oswald prior to you know, shot. I mean, nobody even brings it up. They dont even talk about that. That was reported and nobody talks about it. What was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death before the shooting . I cannot believe i need to say the follow, here goes, there is no corroborated evidence that ted cruzs father ever met Lee Harvey Oswald or any other president ial assassin. We, in the media, dont talk about it because theres no evidence of it. There is contrary evidence, well of about the picture was taken, raphael cruzs sister was brutally beaten by castro forces and raphael cruz denounced the regime. Any suggestion that cruzs father played a role in the kennedy assassination is ridiculous. And, frankly, shameful. Now thats not an antitrump position or a procruz position. Its a protruth position. Cruz, for his part, is in the middle of two the work weeks of the campaign, having been clobbered in primaries, not to mention having made campaign missteps. Today, went after donald trump in his harshest remarks to date. List. Donald trumps a serial philanderer and he boasts about it. This is not a secret. Hes proud of being a serial philanderer. I want everyone to think about your teenage kids. The president of the United States talks about how great it is to commit adultery, how proud he is, describes his battles with venereal disease, his own personal vietnam but boasts about his infidelity, he boasts a lie about me and my family, attacking my family, accuses others of doing what he is doing. Ill tell you, as the father of two young girls, the idea of our daughters coming home and repeating any word that man says horrifies me. That is not who america is. And i would say to the hoosier state, the entire countrys depending on you. Joined by our special election day panel right now. But were going to begin tonight with jim acosta, hes at trump headquarters, in new york. Jim . The Jfk Assassination . Really . Reporter yeah, jake, this campaign United Statesis a mystn a riddle inside an enigma. The Trump Campaign feels like its a huge win, exactly like that huge with a y for the gop frontrunner in response to the testy reaction from ted cruz that was offered up earlier today. The Trump Campaign feels it throws cruz off of his game. Just as the senator was trying to paint trump to be unfit as president. The real estate was able to fire off a statement that cast cruz as desperate and flailing. The Trump Campaign has not provided any evidence to us to back up the claim that cruzs father was somehow involved in the kennedy assassination. Cruz swore he would do something he would never do, and thats getting in a cage match. Whether it be marco rubio, lindsey graham, jeb bush, so on. Now for the primary itself later on this evening, well get returns coming in the Trump Campaign believe a convincing win makes the candidate a presumptive nominee. They wont hit the magic number of delegates but point out the math is getting easier week by week. One trump source told me they believe they will hit 1400delegate goal they set a few weeks ago. They feel like that goal is within reach at this point. Jim acosta, with the Trump Campaign. Sunlen serfaty with the Cruz Campaign in indianapolis tonight. This has been a ruffle couple weeks for cruz, colossal losses the fiorina announcement of a running mate didnt do as much as he hoped. He really needs a win. How are they feeling . Reporter well, jake, its quite clear that the Cruz Campaign is feeling anxious going into tonight. Theres a striking shift in tone coming from ted cruz himself, really sensing the urgency of the moment, moment tonight that his campaign does face. It was a remarkable press conference as you guys have been talking about today with senator cruz, feeling unshackled in this moment, clearly frustrated by donald trump. Really feeling at liberty to unload litany of charges going against donald trump. Now, Cruz Campaign official tells me that fe loses here tonight he does intend to continue on with his campaign. Another cruz official telling me they are going leave everything on the field going forward. Intrinsic in that statement United States admission of a rough road that they have ahead, that of course determined how well they do here tonight. The Cruz Campaign already trying to announce Campaign Stops in the future. They Just Announced senator cruz will be campaigning tomorrow in nebraska and washington state, two states going forward. Of course that intended to send a message we are going on. Sunlen serfaty in indianapolis with the Cruz Campaign, thank you. Joining me here for the hour, panel, david gergen, served as president ial adviser for four president s, senior political reporter niamalika henderson, john king, chief political analyst gloria borger, trump supporter, Kayleigh Mack kninny, trump supporter jeffrey lord, white house political director for Ronald Reagan and last, but not least, democratic strategist donna brazile, thanks one and all for joining me. John, a man who endorsed ted cruz, former governor pete wilson said, i believe today, if cruz does not win indiana thats going to make the whole road much much more difficult especially california, true . First, let me endorse the protruth position. Appreciate. How quaint of you to try Something Like that. Yes, it does. The Republican Party is preparing like it or not, those reluctantly embracing donald trump, those who will never embrace donald trump, they believe to be step forward as presumptive nominee of the Republican Party. He cant clinch with math but ted cruz in every way possible said indiana was his fire wall. They think from a math perspective, more from psychology, if trump wins but a healthy margin, it is over. Over. Watch republican money for candidates to dry up, watch republicans take that money, try to get it into house and senate race because the fact you started this program with talking about Jfk Assassination and conspiracy theories, i asked a strategist everybody if trump is your nominee what do you give a house or Senate Candidate . Who words, run away. Run away. And locally. If you cant support trump all the time, i was told that youve got to run like youre running for sheriff because theyre now assuming that trump is going to be the nominee. Look there are other republicans to point out republicans say, no, embrace him, hes the candidate. It depends where you are. For cruz, to get back to your original point, this is an extension political moment here for kasich as well, i might add. Some say he should have had that existential moment. They say theyre continuing on to the convention. If they do that, it will be from a position of weakness and thats a tough place to say to super delegates who kind of look at this and say, all right, maybe never trump, now its maybe trump, maybe we ought to get bond the bandwagon. Talking with a never trump person, the money they were hoping for did not come in. Exactly. Kayleigh, i want to play more of ted cruzs remarkable press conference earlier today and get your response. Lets play that tape. Im go tell you what i really think of donald trump. This man is a pathological liar. He doesnt know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth. And in a pattern straight out of a psychology textbook his response is to accuse everybody else of lying. He accuses everybody on that debate stage of lying. And its a mindless yelp whatever he does, he accuses everyone else of doing. The man cannot tell truth but combines it with being a narcissist. A narcissist at a level i dont think this countrys ever seen. Donald trump is such a narcissist that barack obama looks at him and goes, dude, whats your problem . He is lying to his supporters. Donald will betray his supporters on every issue. If you care about immigration, donald is laughing at you and hes telling the money elites he doesnt believe what hes saying hes not going to build a wall, he will betray you on every issue. Donald trump is a serial philanderer and he boasts about it. This is not a secret. Hes proud of being a serial philanderer. I want everybody to think about your teenage kids. The president of the United States talks about how great it is to commit adultery, how proud he is, describes his battles with venereal disease as his own personal vietnam. Wow, tell us how you really feel, right . What do you make of that. Its interesting to me because, despite all of the things that ted cruz claims, hes a bad guy, philanderer, liar, two of the people have either endorsed him or tacitly supported him. Ben carson, endorsed donald trump. Mike huckabee didnt endorse him but his daughter works for him. These are evangelicals that should be endorsing cruz. Rather than doing that, theyre support be donald trump. What has donald trump done to get more republicans in the history of the republican nomination to get on board with him. I predike hell have the most votes than any republican nominee. The Jfk Assassination charge, crazy. I made that clear at the start of the show. Howevers a question. Did ted cruz take the bait . I dont think so. Listen, when your fathers under attack, i think you have to defend him. When youre wife has been under attack by the National Enquirer its a good thing to defend them. The Trump Supporters dont like it when somebody gives trump a dose of his own medicine. Chris is being tame there considering all of the things that donald trump has thrown. I dont know. No, no, considering everything thats been thrown at him, not only by trump but his campaign, social media people, this has been very nasty, and ted cruz has acted with a lot of integrity. So, this really gets to the main problem with trump. This is how hes acting when hes winning. This is how he acts when hes winning. What does he act like when hes losing . Im terrified to see. This is a problem, trump is not unifying the party. 4 he can stand next to ben carson but hes not a man of integrity through osmosis. People cant stand in line and say im going to follow that guy when youre spreading National Enquirer tabloid trash. Since we brought jfk into in is i hate to confess to the gray hair, watching ted cruz, november of 1962, Richard Nixons last press conference, he lost a difficult race for governor of california against all advice, he descended to the ballroom of the hotel in los angeles. He had his 5 00 shadow and he went in those days for what passed for nuts, ending up with the famous line, gentleman, this is my last press conference, you wont have nixon to kick around anymore. It was emotionally off the charts. I would suggest, if senator cruz ever wants to be president of the United States, this kind of stuff, not just senator cruz, but to everybody who runs for president , governor kasichs Campaign Manager sent out a tweet calling him a liar. The Kasich Campaign super pac put out a commercial with his nose going around and around calling him a liar. This is what goes on in president ial campaigns and youve got to show ability to be steady, calm well come back. Amanda, were coming back.

Aw, and it tastes good, too. We can provide the right care, right at home. Welcome back to a special edition of the lead. We are fewer than two hours away from when polls begin to close in indiana. A local issue there is looming very large in the primary, airconditioning plant, home to indianapolis, is relocating to mexico. That heartbreaking announcement caught on camera went instantly viral. Best way to stay competitive and protect the business for long term is to move production from our facility in indianapolis to monterrey, mexico. [ bleep ]. Donald trump, among others, has not let voters forget about it. Im the one that brings up carrier all the time. Carriers my baby, i want to do the number on carrier. Im going to tell them, right now im going to get consensus from congress and tax you when the air conditioners come. Stay where you are or build in the United States chris frates, one in five jobs in indiana is in manufacturing. Is the closure of the carrier airconditioning plant, is it influencing how some hoosiers are voting today . Reporter we talked to a couple of dozen voters, majority said this would influence them in a major way. Ones who did have this on their mind, not surprisingly, voted for Bernie Sanders and donald trump. A 78yearold woman who said carriers decision helped her make her decision. Donald trump was saying things that her and her husband were saying in their living rooms. We talked to a younger voter who said that Bernie Sanders anticarrier stance convinced him to vote for sanders. Sanders has been campaigning hard here in indianapolis against the carrier ceo, saying stop the greed and stop hurting the middle clasp so, thats not surprising either. When you look at the turnout here and the polls today, very big turnout here. The officials here telling me that they have seen more people come through the doors than they have in the past years. Weve talked to county clerk as well. Early voting in marion county, which includes indianapolis, up 95 . So, there may be a lot of balance to count just here today 1200 people already cast their vote and we still have a couple of hours left of voting. Lots of votes to cast. Well see how this issue plays out as final votes come in throughout the night. Chris frates, thank you. Joining me chairman of the indiana Republican Party, jeff cardwell. Thanks for joining us. Do flu think Donald Trumps focus on the carrier plant relocating from your state to mexico is resonating with voters heading to the polls today . Well, i think it certainly is resonating. Thats one of the reasons why jobs and Economic Development is so important to hoosiers across the state. What were looking for most with the work that governor pence has been doing across the state of indiana, looking for a partner in the white house. Chris cuomo asked donald trump how he would try to bring jobs back to america. Take a listen. Its simple. Were going to make them pay. Youre not going to take your company, move to mexico, make air conditioners and not have consequences. The consequences are a tariff or a tax. Will that keep jobs in the news. One of the things, as a business leader, donald trump certainly had a lot of experience in leading businesses. A lot of regulation has really driven a lot of companies out of the United States, not only just indiana but across the United States. Is that why carriers relocating . Well, i think thats part of the reason. I mean, you have more than 260 new regulations that have affected that company directly and r
