Todays eye opener is brought to you by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. The underdogs are riding a new wave of momentum in the president ial race. Bernie sanders and ted cruz had big wins in wisconsin, slowing down frontrunners donald trump and Hillary Clinton. Sanders beat clinton by 13 points in tuesdays democratic primary, 56 to 43 . Cruz won 48 of the republican vote, beating trump by double digits. John kasich finished a distant third. Cruz picked up most of wisconsins 42 gop delegates, his victory makes it more likely that no republican candidate will have enough delegates to lock up the nomination before the convention in july. Major garrett is in milwaukee with cruzs important win. Major, good morning. Good morning. Donald trump misread Wisconsin Voters badly, predicting victory when all credible evidence pointed to defeat. As the battle for zell gats intensifies, the gop frontrunner is on somewhat of a losing streak. Ted cruz described his wisconsin victory as a turning point and said it proves trump is no longer the inevitable frontrunner. God bless the great state of wisconsin. Ted cruz added a big wisconsin victory to a recent sweep of delegate gains. When colorado and wyoming finish voting, we are likely to have gained over 100 delegates on donald trump. Cruz vowed he would win the gop nomination outright, he just didnt say when. Either before cleveland or at the convention in cleveland, together we will win a majority of the delegates. Donald Trump Campaign outside milwaukee early on election day. I hear the polls are busy. They are busy. We could have a big surprise tonight, folks. But left town before the polls closed issuing only this defiant statement, arguing the double digit loss showed trump had, quote, withstood the onslaught of the establishment again. Cruz is worse than a puppet. Hes a trojan horse being used by the party bosses to steal the nomination. Trumps loss represents the depths of Party Divisions at least in wisconsin. More than one in three Republican Voters said theyd be scared if trump were elected president according to cbs news exit polls. While more than 70 of Trump Supporters said theyd back a Third Party Candidate if cruz won the nomination. Cruz promised to bring the Party Together in the general election. Hillary, get ready, here we come. Cruz benefitted from the endorsement of a popular wisconsin governor, scott walker, and the influence of conservative talk radio personalities who backed him and super pac ads that attacked trump. Cruz wont have those advantages in new york which votes in two weeks and where the Cruz Campaign has already begun to minimize expectations. All right, major, thank you very much. On the democratic side, wisconsin was just what Bernie Sanders needed. He beat Hillary Clinton in almost every county in the state. The economy was a voters top issue there, cbs news exit polls found that 66 of voters who said income inequality was their mine priority voting for Bernie Sanders. 51 said sanders would make a better commander in chief than Hillary Clinton. Sanders won six states in a row by marges that range from convincing to overwhelming. The Clinton Campaign insists its just a quirk of the calendar, a series of states that were designed to go his way. And that his winning streak is about to end. Let me take this opportunity to thank the people of wisconsin for their strong support. Thank you the democratic underdog overachieved in the badger state and said its a sign much things to come. We have a path toward victory, a path toward the white house. Reporter sanders does have a path but its a steep one. He picked up roughly 14 more delegates than clinton last night but still trails her by 692, when you factor in superdelegates. And the next big state to vote thank you, thank you so much reporter is the one she represented in the senate. The values of new york are the values of america. Reporter this is the cover of the new york daally news this morning, slamming sanders for supporting immunity for gunmakers. Clinton aides say shell make that issue a focus here. I was against it, he was for it, to give immunity from liability to gunmakers. Reporter clinton lost men by nearly 30 points, lost eight in ten voters under 30 and she also lost eight in ten voters who said honesty was the most important quality in a candidate. It was the number one answer. Asked about the honesty factor on the view. Obviously i thought a lot about it. I dont like to hear it, so i need to figure out whats behind it. Yes. What is inauthentic mean . I dont understand that. I dont understand that. Ive been pretty much the same person my entire life, for better or worse, right . Reporter the clinton camp is taking solace in two things, they note about 70 of nondemocrats, independent voters, went for sanders last night but they arent allowed to vote in most of the big remaining primaries. Clinton actually lost wisconsin by less last night than she did eight years ago, which is not all that comforting to supporters but it will have to do. Cbs news political director and face the nation moderator John Dickerson is with us. Good morning. Good morning. With respec to the democrats, does the momentum help significantly Bernie Sanders going into a calendar that favors Hillary Clinton . Yes. To the extent that calendar looks bad for him, the best thing he could get would be momentum. What it does, it raises these questions of honesty and the nagging questions that have surrounded her and it requires her to keep answering those questions. So sanders needs his own momentum, people to rally around him. But this puts pressure on Hillary Clinton and if you always want your opponent to be under pressure. The next big contest, new york, her home state. Its her home state. Shes comfortable here. She knows how to do the cut and thrust here. Its going to get pretty raw. Weve seen this conversation about guns isnt just about liability for gun manufacturers. Its about whos responsible for these deaths. The front page of the New York Daily News today taking aim at Bernie Sanders. Yes, absolutely. We already saw the race get pretty heated in the last week and you can imagine that escalating even further. Lets talk about the race last night in wisconsin after the loss last night, donald trump says this about ted cruz, calls him lying ted cruz, worse than a puppet, a trojan horse. Seems that meeting in d. C. Didnt help in terms of getting together with party unit. Hes talking about when he wants to be president ial, he can do it. Ill be president ial tomorrow. Its interesting. We are hearing signals, the candidate himself, trump said hell be president ial. The campaign is saying hes going to give policy speeches. That was not a magnanimous in defeat response. Its interesting. You couldnt have imagined an alternate response. What happened for him . In wisconsin . In wisconsin. Both he had a bad couple of weeks going in. Also the electorate is not a trump electorate in wisconsin, its more like an iowa electorate where he lost. You can overread the wisconsin results and hes really happy that new york is coming up next. He seems to be framing the debate for him to make a case at the convention. Thats whats most interesting, not just the tone of the concession speech. Hes saying the establishment is trying to rob me of the nomination and six in ten voters in wisconsin, a bad state for trump, six in ten said whoever has the most delegates should get the nomination. Thats not the way it actually works. But hes got that kind of momentum on his side. Thanks, john. Sure. Secretary of state john kerry believed donald trump is leading an assault on nato, the 2004 democratic president ial nominee appeared last night on my pbs program. He spoke of worldwide nervousness about trumps Foreign Policy agenda. What is it that people say to you, leaders of other countries, when they look at american politics . Well, theyre very concern, charlie. Theres a great theres a great disquiet, anxiety. What are they anxious about . Theyre anxious the certainty theyve had about United States policy ill give you an example. I will say one thing about a policy issue that a candidate has said. When donald trump talked about korea and japan going out and getting their own Nuclear Weapons, i cant think of anything that would be more volatile, more contrary to peace and stability in the region, more contrary to the fundamental commitment of every president since world war ii to try to minimize the risk of Nuclear Weapons and minimize the number of people who have them. Heres a guy running for president who just says, let them go get them themselves. Like japan . Yes. And its beyond provocative. I think suffice it to say, that there is great anxiety eve. Everywhere i go, people say whats happened in the United States, whats happened to your politics. He says a lack of consistency can create a profound challenge for global relations. We heard the president of the United States and secretary kerry saying theyre hearing from leaders that theres anxiety going on. Yes, nato and other things.

Reporter a Bipartisan Coalition of lawmakers say theyve lost confidence in alabama governor Robert Bentley and plan to impeach him. This fivepage resolution calls on bentleys inappropriate relationship and says there is credible evidence that he consistently acted in violation of law to promote his own personal agenda. Nothing that the governor has said is true. Reporter in a statement, governor bentley said there are no grounds for impeachment. I will vigorously defend myself and he called the proceedings nothing more than political grandstanding intended to grab headlines. Conversations between bentley and his former political adviser Rebecca Caldwell mason, a married mother were allegedly recorded in 2014 while the governor was still married to his wife, diane.
