He wants to be one step ahead, same thing with john kasich. He is then a state that looks to be receptive to him. I think that is what youre saying with all of these people. The folks that do expect to win the state, tend to give their victory speech is there. Thee cohen steve networks have declared the won. D trump has one Corey Lewandowski is right next to the microphone. Cbs says he will take a few days off to take time with his family. Always very loaded phrases in politics. Taking time off to spend time with your family. I think what youre seeing is a Donald Trump Campaign is the campaign is still growing. It is expanding. It has struggled in recent weeks. It have had a tough time in these postprimary events. Delegatesgled to gain they thought they had one on Election Night won on Election Night. The Donald Trump Campaign has tried to gear up for the next primary as we go towards 12 37. Politico was first report this week that there were lots of there was a lot of tension in the Donald Trump Campaign as they add on senior folks. I think that is a reflection of what you are seeing. With donald trump winning the New York Primary, after a ring of losses, including the loss in wisconsin, where does the campaign go next . You talked about delaware steve you talked about delaware and rhode island, is he ahead . Hise does this put candidacy in relation to john kasich and ted cruz. This is a big win for donald trump. It is a big state with a lot of delegates. It is a good win. It will be important to see the margin of victory. If he breaks 50 it will be important. It is also important to see how he does by Congressional District. New york is a state that allocates delegates statewide based on the performance. It also allocates by district. The more delegates he will take out of a delegate rich date. It is worth following his performance throughout the night. After new york, there are a few more states that look good for him. It is mostly northeastern next week. So far the cold seem to be promising for donald trump so far the polls seem to be promising for donald trump. Places like rhode island, maryland, each state is different. There is no place where it looks right now that he is really struggling. As we go into this portion, where maybe stylistically he is a decent fit, these states coming up appeared to be pretty good for him. Steve we welcome our listeners. All eyes are on new york. Once the results come in, we will have those for you on the bottom of the screen. For the radio audience, we will tell you. Right now the network is declaring donald trump the winner on the republican side. Still too early to call between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. We are asked donald trump headquarters in midtown manhattan. When he comes to the podium, will have that live. As they look at the delegate totals, before tonight where there are 95 republican delegates. Right now donald trump has 756. Ted cruz has 559. Has 144. Kasich 1200 37 delegates needed to win on the first ballot. Events we are covering will take place thursday in hollywood, florida as the republicans gather to talk about the upcoming rules for the convention. What if anything to expect . Do we expect . Charlie this will probably be the biggest media mob scene at a Republican Rules Committee ever. I think it is a quarterly event, but typically events like this get little coverage because of reporters do not follow it that closely. There is not a lot of reader interest in these sort of arcane meetings. They tend to be about party business. I think you will see a media crush because all of a sudden we are realizing the importance of all of the rules set down in the republican convention. On the democratic side as well, but it is more likely to be a tension filled affair on the republican side. Everyone is paying attention to, who are the delegates. Who do they support . We are also discovering something that insiders have known for a long time the people they get on these key committees of the convention, and one of the most important is some may call the rules committee. These are the people that can make up the rules that can in many ways really affect the outcome in a number of ways. I think the campaigns will have representatives. I think all of the media rl at our outlet will have a few reporters there. We will see what be to govern the convention. T will be the baby like what will be debate be like. Right now donald trump is declared the winner. He has exceeded the 50 threshold at 34 . Governor kasich at 28 and senator cruz at nearly 18 , reflecting what the polls have been saying on the republican side. On the democratic side, hillary at nearly 622 and senator sanders at 38 62 and senator sanders at 38 . This is just an early sense. We get a sense the donald trump will be speaking shortly as we look at the activity inside of his camcorders headquarters. I question about this fall and the other magic number, 220 and what the electoral 270, and what the electoral map look like. Charlie the Electoral College it is not too early, even though both parties are a long from crowning a nominee, it is never too early to think about what the battleground state will look like. Side, theocratic proclinton super pac priority has already made millions of dollars in ad reservations across the swing state landscape. We begin to get an understanding of what the democrats think will be the hardest fought states by where they are placing ad dollars. It is the kind of places we have grown accustomed to in the past. When frustration you hear a lot when you get outside of washington is so few states actually participate in the president ial election. That is one reason why the election is so terrific. You get to see states like new york or california the do not typically get involved because their election happen to late or they are too blue to really matter any of general in the general. Now we are getting an idea of what lance plates landscape will look like in november. We go from a broad map in the primary where every state seems to matter to a narrow map in november. It looks like the kinds of accustomed to, new hampshire, colorado, virginia, places like that really tight in recent years. They will be the state same states again. There are a couple of states on the periphery. Places like North Carolina will be interesting to watch. One of the more interesting things that is being discussed right now, sort of behind closed doors in parties is contingent on the nominee of the party. On the republican side there is what of speculation about the general election map will look like if donald trump is the nominee. Does he put some states in the rust belt in play, or does he risk losing states . Those discussions already happening. We are still months away from the conventions. Steve you and others have been reporting on the comments of Mitch Mcconnell who told whaf him we, kentucky that he was confident there would be a second ballot. What is your read . Charlie when you take a look at the primaries left, the delegate counts, the path they need to of 1237,e magic number it is hard to see anyone getting there. You can make the argument that some of the campaigns like the Donald Trump Campaign believes they can. I am of the opinion, when i look what is ahead, i dont think anybody gets to 1237. If you are of that opinion, the next question is, what is that first what does that first vote look like . Theonald trump does not get 1237, but he does have a majority of delegates, does he get elected . Should he become the nominee on the first ballot . I think what youre hearing from mcconnell is the idea that he is not going to get a 1237. If he goes to one ballot, he will be the first name it comes up. He will still not get a majority. That is probably Mitch Mcconnells hope. Steve a couple of tweets. This is from Andrea Lafferty who works for nbc news. He points out the speech by senator ted cruz he begins the rally by sharing the observations that have nothing to do with a politician winning his home state tonight. Saysy dimon with cnn donald trump is cleaning up the 95 delegates. He says the goal is to best prove to best ted cruz and john kasich inhome statements. State wins. Charlie what you typically see in a campaign is trash talk between the campaigns in terms of home states. You want to dismiss your opponents when wins. If you want to dismiss donald trump, you say of course he had win. En had to steve what do you think the tone will be tonight with donald trump . Any changes on how he approaches the next eight weeks . Charlie i think it will give him more confidence, not that he needs it. I think it gives him some momentum back. Campaign, then a momentum plays an enormous role. He came off a tough loss in wisconsin. There is a lot of polling that showed his candidacy had problems. When you win a state egg, it tends to solve some problems and put wind in your sale. State, itu win your tends to solve your problems and put wind in your sale sail. I think it will give a sense of comfort they are trying to integrate senior people. Is a greatin here start. They will have a clearer vision if they can get to the magic number of 1237. Steve with an eye on what is happening, donald trump expected to speak momentarily. We go to veronica. Good evening. Veronica i looked at my phone to see if i was losing charge, but i have a lot. My name called my main call is about john kasich. We buried a fallen officer in columbus, ohio. There were officers their nationwide. Even the attorney general, but no john kasich, the governor. I am upset. If he was there, he was not mentioned. Mom had already talked to mike. He could have taken time out to be at this officers funeral. Steve lets get a response. Let me share with john kasich share tonight. He was in annapolis, maryland. He did talk about the delegate math moving ahead. Map moving ahead. John kasich nobody is going to get enough delegates. To Donald Trump Campaign is complaining because they will not get enough votes. We are going to be deadlocked. What delegates are going to do is you are going to consider, i think, fundamentally two things. This one is crazy. Who could win in the fall . [applause] now i beat hillary consistently in every Single National paul p oll poll. Everyone. They have this electoral thing where these people i dont have a are, but they are apparently pretty respectable. They surveyed 40,000 people and charted out the Electoral College. Hillary smashed to guys that i am running against. I beat hillary decisively. They are going to take a look at this because if we pick somebody with very high negatives, which they have. People dont want to look, p look, some people are angry but ultimately people do not like politicians who they do not like. They just dont. Steve did you hear what governor kasich was saying. Looking at the map and Electoral College votes . Kasich isovernor elaborating the most powerful argument in his favor which is if you take a look at the polling right now, he is the only republican who defeat Hillary Clinton in a headtohead matchup. That can be pretty persuasive for republicans that are tired of eight years of democratic control. If you take a look at match ups donald trump, Hillary Clinton wins everywhere or most places including the swing states. Even close in deep red states like mississippi and utah. When you see matchups with ted cruz and Hillary Clinton, again, clinton has the edge. The john kasich numbers he looks stronger and a lot of polling against Hillary Clinton. That is the heart of his argument. The other side of the argument is, he masked the real weakness of the john kasich campaign. How about winning a state . John kasich has 11 state has won one state. On one side you have a persuasive argument about how strongls show him to be as possible republican nominee, on the other hand you have the weakness of not winning that many states. He is not poised to win new york. It is not clear what he will win next week. There is tension there and he obviously wants to focus on the positive aspects. Steve you talk about the rules committee in 2012, the rule was you had to win 88. Eight states. That prevented ron paul. 2016 inck and 2016 . Charlie i think all of the rules are out of the window as you go and. In. The rules committee can do whatever they want. They want to change to 10 states, they can, if they want to take it down to one state to make sure the john kasich gets a vote, they could do that. We just do not know until we know the makeup of the committee. The rules committee is determined by a couple of people from every state delegation. Until we get closer to the convention the rules Committee Meets a little bit before the convention to set up some of the procedures. Until we get closer to that, we really do not know what it will look like. Meeting of theng rnc meeting in hollywood, florida, goes underway thursday. We will have coverage midafternoon on cspan thursday. We will also have remarks by the chairman of the party. We will also reenter it overnight reair it overnight. New numbers from new york. On the republican side, we said earlier the donald trump is the declared winner with now 7 70 . He has nearly 72 . Ohio government governor kasich at just over 16 and senator ted cruz at nearly 12 . On the democratic side, Hillary Clinton is maintaining her lead with a significantly at 61. 7 . Senator sanders at nearly 38. 3 . That is with 9 of the vote in. Jerry from maryland. Your state will get a lot of attention. Jerry i think it is. Watchedell you what, i the speech by ted cruz. I thought he was, he is very gracious. It sounded like he was even using a little bit of obama rhetoric. It came across as odd. Desirable far more candidate. I am democrat, leaning independent. Think maybe these candidates dont seem to have a lot of this of is a sense of humor. I saw ted cruz on the tonight show and i thought he did really well. The interview with donald trump with funny. Was funny. The evolution of candidates . We are covering the primary a year before the election. Charlie i think of the welcome news for the Ted Cruz Campaign to hear that somebody like jerry, someone who describes himself as a democrat leaning independent finds the ted cruz message appealing. I think right now youre not seeing that much of a pivot because we are so far from the determining from determining a nominee on the republican side. Even on the democratic side, we have seen Hillary Clinton in the center. Typically in an election, because Bernie Sanders has put together a streak of wins, Hillary Clinton has not been able to do that. You might see more on her side if she wins big in new york. We might see that sooner than we would on the republican side. Republican contenders still have to win over a conservative republican electorate before they can claim the nomination. Steve just tweeting this picture of the rally from earlier tonight with Bernie Sanders. As the new york polls close, the scene from the Bernie Sanders rally. The fired up crowd is gone, will they pull a pennsylvania win next week . Donald trump just issued the street saying that, thank you new york, i love you. So far he has had 4000 likes and many retreats. Donald trump wins the New York Primary. Who is joining, us in brooklyn, new york. I voted for Bernie Sanders. Steve tell us about it. Caller she had to give me a separate ballot. When i asked i said, how many people are disenfranchised . She said 40,000. I think it is rigged. The thing about Hillary Clinton, i dont know why blacks are flocking to her. She does not mean what she says. She said in her last debate that and is goingback to set up a no flies in. No fly zone. Steve we will get a response. Charlie the caller is alluding to a problem we have seen, there has been so much interest in the president ial race, whether democrat or republican. The turnout has been so great, recordbreaking in many cases that it is overwhelming the ability of the Elections Officials to accommodate them. He saw a real problem in arizona where you are talking about hours and hours of waiting. It was something the subject of a lawsuit right now. You solve problems with long lines elsewhere. Clearly i dont know much about this case and what happened in brooklyn, but it sounds like again we saw some ballot box problems. I think it is something that Election Officials intend to be diligent. I think it is something theyre working hard to get right for the general election, as ashley that is why two of which the huge turnout. Steve when you hear the donald trump says the system is rigged, he is talking about the delegate election process. That is a function of the democratic and public and parties. The New York Times had an editorial saying, we do not get these elections right. We should have learned from 2000. We are still dealing. With confiscated issues. Charlie part of the problem is we do not fund the elections well enough. When you think about the competing interests for money, Election Administration ranks far down. It is not easy to run elections. , much of they technology is obsolete. It is expensive. When it comes to Donald Trumps point about rigged elections and delegate conventions, i think there is some truth to what he is saying. Theink in this sense, system is rate, not against him or anyone in particular, but it has been rigged for many years in favor of the parties that run them. York, bernieke new sanders has raised the point over and over again, why a
