The same eventbo boehner called cruz lose for in the flesh. The next president of the United States ted cruz. Oh, my god oh, my god did that really happen . Good morning. Its tuesday, may 3rd. Welcome to morning joe. Were going to talk about that situation there. Trump had a response. Veteran columnist of course he did. That was a few days ago. Yesterday yesterday there was Trump Supporters and he tried too hard to reason with them in his very special way of communicating. Pulitzer prize winning columnist annoyed . Yes. When i hear people talk like that i get annoyed. I want to lunge at their neck. Its let me tell you. Exactly. You are lucky you are over
there, eugene. Washington post its ann annoying eugene robinson. And managing editor of bloomberg politics, and cohost that arrest here on 6 00 p. M. Mark halperin. He was trying to debate a 10yearold kid . Well get to that. We have lead stories to get to, joe. Trying to win the indiana voters youre being a 10yearold lurching to that. You have to wait. Were going to get to all of that before you have to go an icon yes. Its not lena dunham but its pretty good. Its hilarious. Do their contracts say donald trump ever ran for president in the future they have to endorse him . The sports guys are coming out. I played this golf course. Its first class. Its a first class okay. We have news to talk about. Lets start with the headlines and well years ago were giving a speech somewhere and i walk off stage and i shake his hand and he goes youre too liberal . I go great to meet you, too. He likes trump. Youll hear why soon. After six straight primary wins, donald trump hopes to wrack up another in indiana tonight. Hes hoping to effectively close out the primary season. Trump needs 46 of the remaining delegates to win a majority. It was amazing how it was 59 last week and he couldnt do it. But go ahead. Something both of his opponents are incapable of getting. A new poll finds that a majority of republicans think that ted cruz and john kasich should drop out of the race. 52 for cruz. 63 for kasich. Polls close at 6 00 in the state
that spans eastern and central time. Its going to be a long, fun night. The latest poll indicates it could be an early night with trump opening up at a 15 point lead. Could it be not a long night . Yeah. Mark halperin . It could be. The private polling shows a race closer than some of the public polling, but if you look at the sense of momentum and what some of the people close to the establishment said it looks like were going it see trump win. Guess who thinks its going to be a late night . Here is ted cruz speaking. We have 21 hours. I want to ask you right now donald trump and i are effectively tied in the state of indiana. It is neck and neck. All right response theyre tied neck and neck. Your info is wrong. Its tied. He just said its tied. Its tiedish. Not really. Ted cruz has a potential to win the statewide vote, for sure, and its winner take all by congressional district. Hes strong in most of the congressional districts. Is this race tied . No. I have seen no indication that the race is tied. At every indication, actually, is that trump may be. But well see. Cruz has a great turn out operation. Okay. Stop it, boys. What are we talking about, mike . Theres a real possibility youll see republicans come out after tonight if donald trump wins and the race should be over and put pressure on cruz and kasich. My indication is cruz and kasich go to june do they really . They do. This could be a real decisive 24hour period. Weve been saying for weeks that indiana mattered. They could lose new york and
alabama and alaska. Its a crucial state indiana was going to do it. It was going to save it all for ted cruz. If he loses there, therefore, one would think he would pull out of the race. He doesnt have a chance. Donald trump closed out his Indiana Campaign last night by rolling out support from even more local sports legends. Exnotre dame coach endorsed trump. Theyre nothing but winners in indiana. The i played his golf course and stayed in his hotel. He does nothing but first class in everything. He wants this country to be first class as well. And trump all right. So much to get to. Played his golf course and its first class. He wants the country to be first class. Im telling you, thats how people think. But, mika, its not just lou
holtz, its also i know ive been trying to tell people this for about six months. Its crazy. Everyone looks at his sort of what hes built and his first class aspect of it. Also, in indiana. Youve got phelps. Thats amazing. Lets go. Trump took others im big in north indiana. Gary, indiana native hammer williamson introduced trump. Former Perdue University basketball coach gene caddy and Digger Phelps fired up the crowd last night. Where trump talked about immigratio immigration. Ive never seen a guy lie like that. He even said donald trump will
not build a wall. He said hes not going build the wall. Not build the wall . Were building the wall i have lying ted. Trump said hes not going to build the wall. I think hes crazy. I think hes crazy. Lying ted does not have the temperament to be doing this. Hes choking like a dog because hes losing so badly. We have to put him away tomorrow, folks. We have get out and vote. That was descriptive. Maybe not a nice thing to say. Hes supposed to write with thats what and, you know, lying ted. Lying ted. Put him away. Like a dog. Im with melania. Thats nice. We can show you choking like a dog and you can find your own words instead of saying choking like a dog. Here is ted cruz leaving a Campaign Stop in indiana yesterday. About a half dozen donald Trump Supporters were across the Street Holding signs and crying out lose with cruz. Thats when cruz passed by the motorcade and went over to speak with them. Dont do it why would you do that . When you do that, this happens. Im running to be everyones president. We dont want you. What . Youre entitled your view, sir. Youre well respected. Dot math. Do the math we asked kasich to drop out. Its your turn. The wall that donald told the New York Times editorial [ yelling ] sir take down isis, youll take down the im not yelling. Where is your Goldman Sachs jacket at . Your wife works there . Actually i was supported
by all over the country. Our average contribution is 60. Donald trump is deceiving and playing you for a chump. Sir, america is a better country without you. Thank you for those kind sentiments. Let me tell you, ive treated you respectfully the entire time and a question everyone here should ask are you canadian do you want your kids repeating the words of donald trump . It went on for about a minute. [ laughter ] what is wrong with you . Are you canadian . Mark halperin, what is he doing . Ive never seen anything like that. Are you canadian . Right at the end of the Rubio Campaign when he went for like a whole different it went longer oh, yeah. You dont walk over to
protesters. And the minute the guy started doi doing you leave. Thats the problem with the shakespea shakespeareian pauses. Are you canadian . That will be on howard stern by thursday. Okay. Why did he do that . Trying to shake things up because the dynamic is not great. Literally nevada seen a candidate do like that. Ive seen people be heckled and like joe the plumber but you walk away. What he was he going to win the debate with his princeton debate skills . Hes throwing everything against the wall. We have more. You mentioned this 10yearold. Yeah. Because you have a mind like
a 10yearold, you want to see this. This is ted cruz. Thats hateful. Lets talk about [ long pause ] this. Apparently theres a young man that is having some problems. Thank you, son. I appreciate your sharing your views. You know, one of the things that hopefully someone has told you is that children should actually speak with respect. [ cheers and applause ] in my household, when a child behaves that way, they get a spanking. Spanking. No this is like hey hey justi escorted a 10yearold out . This is what you wanted to stop trump . You thought this a would stop trump. Think about this. Why . Lets go back to mark
halperin. Mark halperin politics 101 do you escort a 10yearold kid . I dont think you go negative on the 10yearold. What is wrong with your party . Go ahead. Just it just its not this is not cresting well for the cruz campaign. Fighting with a 10yearold, fighting with the heckler. You know, i dont get i dont get the whole thing. At least i will say this at least it wasnt nobody fell off the stage. I would not be surprised not true. I dont know if the 10yearold was i wouldnt be surprised if it was mischief not being created in a not organic fashion. Do you think the 10yearold boy is a roger stone flunky . Jimmy fallon called Donald Trumps grandson a new poll finds that Republican Voters more about a gimmick. 83 that cruz announced Carly Fiorina as a way to revitalize the campaign. 16 say shes the best Vice President ial candidate. Not sure why he needs to make an effort. Ted cruz is doing just fine by himself. On sunday ted cruzs running mate Carly Fiorina introduced cruz is she okay . She turned and stumbled off the stage. Is she okay . Cruzs wife extended her arm toward fiorina and an aid walked over to help her. Shes okay. Ted cruz, perhaps not noticing because ted cruz tends to think about ted cruz and hes caught up in his oratory and handshaking and the firmness and the connection that is so fake that he has with people that he kept on shaking hands. Heidi was worried. Heidi was sort of concerned. Oh. Lets help her. Shes smiling so she must be
okay. Cue donald trump. She fell off the stage the other day. Did anybody see that . And cruz didnt do anything. Even i would have helped her. Okay. They showed it me and i said thats cruel. She fell off she went down. She went down a long way, right . And she went downright in front of him and he kept talking. That was a weird deal. And i thought he wouldnt have anything to talk about. The whole thing i mean, hes right about this. This is a weird deal. The whole thing. Trump loves doing playbyplay of the other campaign. Loves it. How could you not . How could you not when his own party props up that to bring him down. Its pathetic. Here is a question we have. We had jeb bush, marco rubio, scott walker, Chris Christie,
who was a great candidate in new hampshire. One of the best. Carly had a strong run. You go down the list of candidates and you really wonder how did we end up here with donald trump versus ted cruz . I thought it was trump versus bush or trump versus walker or trump versus marco. Christie. Trump versus Chris Christie. At one point trump versus carly. But trump versus ted cruz. A guy ill equipped to be in the position hes in. Voters want fundamental change and an interesting candidate who looks like more of the same. Ted cruz became a candidate of the most ideological conservatives, i think. And he established that himself in that lane. Was it a game break toward cruz toward the end here . Just sort of the party in
general. The way they were coordinating things. Werent they trying wasnt there a subtle rigging of the game . They could have picked john kasich at one point. By the way, here is a National Poll. Yes, Donald Trumps ceiling 56 . You only had two choices. You had ted cruz or john kasich. And for some really weird reason voters chose him. Im talking about the republican establishment. For some bizarre reason the republican establishment did not select a guy who was the first budget chairman in a generation to balance a budget, the first budget chairman since the 1920 to balance the budget four years in a row, a successful twoterm governor of ohio, the most important swing state for republicans to win. And they go with toded cruz instead of john kasich. As if john kasich is not a conservative. John kasich is a sevenconservat almost nobody from the establishment endorsed him. What is the establishment . It has a lot of guys and
women a lot of money who constantly pick losers. Losers. These people have wasted billions of dollars on losers. Over the past 12020 years to losers who they are more comfortable with. You put out a definition why donald trump by the way, im not calling ted cruz a loser personally. Im saying these this republican donor class has spent 20 years selecting losers. People that lose campaigns because they would rather have somebody theyre comfortable with than somebody i think theres a Washington Post column here. Why dont you write that . Okay. You just laid out a definition of why trump is well ahead since the race. Reasoning against the republican establishment who always picks losers. Keeps the race with the best show october and november. He says Something Different nearly every time he takes the podium. Its not a set speech the way
the other guys have. Hes an outsider. People are looking for that. Theres another reason, too. That trumps policies are different. I mean, his policy on i free trade is different. His policy on entitlements is different. There are more feelings. No. I dont think you can under estimate that working class voters actually have exactly. Working class voters. Everybody mocked and ridiculed trumps speech last week. The America First speech. Working class workers in indiana i guarantee the majority why are we helping these countries that dont help us . Military families. You know, what was the establishment offering to military families . More repeated deployments to hell holes around the world. And trump is offering Something Different. He is offering things that are different. We can sit here and snicker at the slogan on the east coast and the west coast the elites and everything. Make America Great it resonates. Front page of the Washington Post trump bid raises prospect of nasty general. Its going to be so ugly. Lets not go there if we dont have to. Still ahead on morning joe live to jaindiana as voters hea to the polls in todays primary. And up next. In 16 separate polls, i beat hillary in the fall. You might say why do you win in the fall [ applause ] why do you win in the fall but you dont win now . Because im not appealing to peoples anger. Well, it is now. 17 polls in a row as john kasich was quick to update on twitter. Well talk to tom of real clear politics. Why gop voters dont seem to care about those could benovember numbers. Here is bill karens with a check on the forecast. Hey, bill. What is going on . We got nothing but cold and
rain. Remember how beautiful march was . Yeah. April was a little may started off nasty. This morning is not any better. Were getting pay back. We are. Its mother natures way. Maryland talking about pay back. Yesterday the sun came out and warmed up and then the hailstorm began. This hit all through virginia and maryland. Potomac it was golf ballsized hail pounding the area. There was a lot of lightning this morning the storm is with us. Its a rainy morning drive from boston to i95 to areas of North Carolina where we have thunderstorms. Expect airport delays from d. C. To new york. It will improve throughout the day. The rain will begin to end throughout the noon hour and start to clear up a little bit later. Watch out 9 Million People at risk. Raleigh to fayetteville through North Carolina. And the timing during the mid afternoon and clear out after that. In the middle of the country
great. No problems whatsoever. Its North Carolina were worried about today and a rainy morning drive for you boston all the way down to washington, d. C. So at least d. C. You dont have to deal with the Severe Weather like you did yesterday, but you can already see by those roads down there its going to be a slow morning drive. More morning joe when we come back.

Trolling for a gig with cant blame you. Its a drone you control with your brain, which controls your thumbs, which control this joystick. No, im actually over at the ge booth. Were creating the Operating System for industry. Its called predix. Its gonna change the way the world works. Ok, im telling my brain to tell the drone to get you a copy of my resume. Umm, maybe keep your hands on the controller. Look out ohhhhhhhhhh. You know what, im just gonna email it to you. Yeah thats probably safer. Ok, cool. E. T. Phone home.

with xfinity x1. I think a lot of young people with Bernie Sanders will come over to my side. They want jobs. They see what is happening. And Bernie Sanders and i agree with one thing. We dont know what were doing on trade. Hes a socialist. He doesnt know what to do. Ill make great deals out of it. The young people with Bernie Sanders, i believe theyre going to come over and vote for me. Joining us now from chicago, the cofounder and public real clear politics tom beven. What are you looking at in terms of the race here. Any way trump doesnt take it all the way through . Ah, no, i mean, hes well positioned in indiana. Up about 11 points in the average last two polls. Had him up double digits. Hes in good shape there. We had a poll out yesterday showing about 34 points in california. Oh, my gosh. What was that one . A survey usa knbc poll. We had a fox news poll come out the week before last had him up 29. Hes over 50 in some of the polls. If its anything close to that, hes going to be well above the 1237. So this is obviously cruzs last chance to stop him. Even if he stop him, it may not be enough in the end. So john kasich 17 polls in a row has beaten Hillary Clinton i
