And. Not tonight, britta. Not tonight. [ female announcer ] to nurses everywhere, thank you, from johnson johnson. Look at pros and cons of being Donald TrumpsVice President. Pro, next in line to donald trump. Con, which means youre the heir to the hair. Pros, meeting all over the world. Con, having to say sorry about him in hundreds of different languages. Pro, could cruz kasich, cr , cruz, good morning. With us on set how are you doing . Oh, my gosh. We have some political news to report. Trump, of course, wins. But bernie, big wins for bernie, too. This guy is not going away. Keeps on winning. Its like shes losing to win and hes winning to lose. Its a reverse of 2008, isnt it . Its just like barack obama. You kept hearing all barack obama has to do is win texas and its over and hillary would win. All he has to do is win ohio. All he has to do is pennsylvania once they get to know him in pennsylvania. No, she kept winning. Bernie sanders is doing the same thing. Except Obama Clinton was closer to obama than sanders is to clinton at this point and it did work out for obama in the end. It did. Made him a better candidate. This will probably make clinton a better candidate. As you can see we had legendary gene robinson. Former Communications Director for george bush nicolle wallace. Sarah palin. Sarah palin. Shes back. Is she cantering people. Political analyst gene robinson. Not surprisingly, donald
trump won both nebraska and virginia primaries last night. Still about 20 of voters cast ballots for ted cruz. Yesterday we brought you numbers that showed an incredibly close race between donald trump and Hillary Clinton in swing states key to winning the presidency. The National Numbers from the latest nbc News Survey Monkey tracking poll gave clinton a 5 point lead over trump. A look at key groups shows just how divided the electorate really is. On race, trump wins white vote, 5241 . Clinton has a 77 lead with black voters. 86 to 9 . A 21 percentage among hispanic voters. 61 to 28 . The candidates face a stark gender gap. Trump, 11, trump carries men by
11 point margin. The question of income, voters who earn less than 50,000 a year back clinton by 19 points. 56 to trumps 37 . Those making over 100,000 are about evenly split 47 for clinton, 48 by trump. Broken down by age voters under 45 picked clinton, 56 to 38 . All right. We can do this by pretty soon were going to do it by eye color. Yeah. I want to go back to the main poll, charts. You was off yesterday. Gene, i have to do it once a year. I have to separate my unfiltered cigarettes from my filtered cigarettes. I dont smoke, mom and dad. Everything, i was shocked. Clinton is actually losing to donald trump despite these horrible demographics weve all talked about. Its going to kill him, going to crush him. Ive been saying it. Everybody has been saying it. Hes ahead in ohio. Yeah, look, the poll, quinnipiac poll was a big surprise to a lot of people in those battleground states. It showed trump potentially a little bit ahead. People have questions about the poll. My view is that it would be foolish for the Clinton Campaign to ignore bad news because its bad news and say we dont want to believe this. They need to look at these numbers and figure out whats potentially going on and why this was turning up. It was a big surprise. A big surprise. Mika, ill tell you also, people saying quinnipiac poll over sampled, why . I was shocked by nbc survey monkey showed it a 5 race when it was a 13 race last week. Theres a consolidation going on. Key states, 1 point in pennsylvania. Hes looking better in a lot of polls than mitt romney did down the stretch. This is really before they start going after each other. This is when has he a 56 disApproval Rating. Trumps negatives are historically high, unbelievable high. Hillary clintons negatives are also very high. I think one possible interpretation of this poll is that its not okay for the Clinton Campaign to say his are higher, therefore were going to be fine. Hers, i think, are clearly having an impact. Thats something the campaign is going to have to deal with, address. Theres also another possibility here, voters exhaustion. People responding to both candidates after a very long primary campaign with extended numbers of debates. People tuning it right out. Theres one thing in the underbelly of that campaign, i was surprised Hillary Clintons support among women isnt higher than it is. Same with hispanics, who are 28 of hispanics supporting donald trump. I havent met them frankly. Were going to hear joe biden, Paul Manafort, a lot of things that happened in the last 24 hours. Hillary clinton increasingly fighting two front at once, continued primary challenge Bernie Sanders and donald trump who is increasingly using personal trumps. Here is senior strategist Paul Manafort hinting at more to come. He said Hillary Clinton did nasty terrible things to these women that were alleged to have relationships with her husband. Did she or did she not do that. Hell be talking about those in the campaign. How does he know . I believe in him. You believe everything he
said is true. He told you stuff he knows about clintons and back unreported behavior he will bring out. We have talked about the hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton playing the female card and his willingness to expose that card for what it is. What is this thing about Hillary Clinton married to somebody who is an abuser of women. How do you make that case . Stay tuned. You got a case . Stay tuned. Have you heard his case . We have things well be talking about in this campaign where we will not be letting her get away with playing the female card. Insulting women. I dont care what he says about me but i do resent what he says about other people, other successful women. Women who have worked hard. Women who have done their part. We are, after all, 51 of the country. They are doing to get really ugly. Its going to get really bad. Its going to be bad. Its going to be bad quick. Yeah. You talked about voter exhaustion now. The campaign hasnt really even started. They are apparently going to throw just the kitchen sink at them and they are going to start early. Its not going to be a knocked over surprise, nicolle, they are going to come out at him, bill clinton. We said for sometime, we dont know whether Hillary Clinton is going to win this or not, but we do know for bill clinton its going to be a horrid six months. We have a little history to look at, how he acts now in his post presidency. Hes a little more prickly than he was when he was a candidate. You look at the cycle, candidates out of practice, jeb bush, hillary, people who arent in the fight and arena with social media and constant precious with everyone with a phone being a journalist have not thrived and have not thrived under the white hot glare of
trumps onslaught. I think clintons should be in Trump University studying how to survive. Theres no studying for this, no strategy, no nothing they can do. What do you mean . Theres no preparation. I really hope they are not trying to prepare for this, because they will never, ever be able to get inside her heart and her head in terms of what she needs to do with this when it happens . Theres an agility her republican opponents, certainly have the benefit of looking at the 16 people he defeated and understanding theres an agility and nimbleness they all lacked that she could certainly adapt. The clintons before there was trump, the people who were more willing to do anything it took to win were named clinton. So the people who used to be the ones best at taking on strategies to defeat their opponent used to be named bill and Hillary Clinton. Here is the problem, even in the best circumstances of 2008, bill clinton was hard to control, hard to handle. Remember up in New Hampshire when he gave that horrid speech. Even in the best of circumstances, here they are going to be leveling charges that are going to be shocking even by bill clintons standards, from what we hear, and how does Hillary Clinton team control bill clinton . Do they do what the obama team did to joe biden in 2008, put him on a plane and put give him an iphone and let him listen to music so he doesnt say anything . Nicolle said, the clintons got where they are by being adaptable, fitting what they say, what they do for the circumstances and to their advantage. I have a feeling bill clinton learned something in 2008. You know, he made mistakes and he was very defensive about that for a while. My guess would be that he has internalized some of that, so wont make the exact same mistakes. They have already compared him to bill cosby in instagram. Its going to be hes doing to be were going to have two battles going on, trust me. Were going to have Hillary Clinton fighting for the white house and bill clinton fighting to save his legacy. After trump, the New York Times reported, just put out an Instagram Video of him and a couple of tweets. His Approval Rating, which hes been working on his entire life, he lives to see that Approval Rating go up, went from 51 to 38 . Can you imagine what its going to look like in the fall . Also for political reasons, can you imagine the nightmare its going to be for Hillary Clintons Campaign Team to stop him from going out and swinging
back in a way that could make things worse. I think theres a whole unspoken part of this for decades thats going to be spoken in plain english. Its going to be the part of the conversation everyone is afraid to have or too polite to have or too blind to have. I dont know. Read the column. Shes had it. Thats the kind of discussion were all doing to have to have. It could do either way. It could purge these resentments, these unsaid things and make the press feel better about her or damage her. It could actually help her a lot if she can use it correctly. Kasie hunt did a focus group with a group of republican women the other day, yesterday, and i dont know if we have any of that. Did some yesterday. We showed it yesterday. It was really quite
interesti interesting. They talked about bill and hillarys relationship. There was a lot of sympathy, solidarity with Hillary Clinton. It could be very much to her advantage. The assault is going to come against bill clinton. The response is going to have to come from Hillary Clinton. It has to. That will be the guide post as to where shes going to how shes going to navigate this in the fall. Them theres this trump, donald trump opened up another front yesterday on instagram, a video about the deadly attack on the American Embassy in benghazi. Weve seen over an internet video. She lied to me. She told me it was the fault of the video. She said we are going to have the filmmaker arrested who was responsible for the death of your son. So she did say to you that the benghazi attack was caused
by protests . Absolutely. I dont know why thats funny. The Trump Campaign confirmed to nbc news that they made the video. The Clinton Campaign tlind to comment to nbc news. This is the sort of thing thats coming at you nonstop. And it cuts. Well see. Well see how agile they are going to be. We have a lot of other news to report. Trump says hes down to five picks for Vice President. Also, Bernie Sanders won last night, couple of primaries. We have his comments. He made some pretty stinging comments about Hillary Clinton. Bernie sanders . Yes, he did. They were really hes not going to go quietly into that dark night. No, hes not. Not only is he not going to go quietly, if you look at the crowd and look at the attention hes stronger. I wonder if who knows. Is he thinking about an independent bid . No. He says no. He says no. I mean, because if one of these republicans like mitt romney or paul ryan or somebody jumped in on the republican side and bernie jumped in on the democratic side, you would have a fourway threedimensional where any four of those people could be president of the United States. And wed never sleep again. Ever. Never sleep again. Thats how we do it in europe. What is sleep . What is this thing called sleep .

Wow, so Bernie Sanders, mika, won the West Virginia democratic primary last night. Yes, he did. He was projected to win the state and likely benefited from comments clinton made about coal. Sanders support was not from
democrats but independents according to exit polling. They made up a third of the electorate. Of sanders voters, 33 said they would choose trump over senate from vermont if they faced off in the general. This is fascinating. Taking a look at the delegate count, sanders picked up 16 to clintons 11 in West Virginia. According to nbc news, clinton 6 superdelegates to sanders 1 superdelegate. They tied 1717 in the state. After his win, sanders went on to speak at a rally in sanders, oregon, in front of a crowd of about 4,000 people. He celebrated his victory and did not let up his pressure on Hillary Clinton targeting wealthy donors. We have now won primaries and caucuses lynn 19 states. And let me be as clear as i can be, we are in this campaign to
win the democratic nomination. One of the waltons made a Campaign Contribution to secretary clinton of hundreds of thousands of dollars. I say to that family maybe instead of making large Campaign Contributions to secretary clinton, pay your workers a living wage. Wow, thats some tough top. Mike barnicle. Well, Bernie Sanders is on the ride of his life. Hes 73 years old. Hes held these beliefs for 72 of those 73 years. He is capable of raising millions of dollars in small contributions from ordinary people over and over and over again. His message is resonating throughout the country. He is not doing anywhere. He is not giving up. Hes going to be at that convention in philadelphia
fighting for that platform. Hes already managed to push Hillary Clinton more to the left than she ever intended to go to the left. He will keep her there through the convention. Yes. I thought that just that sound bite alone was stinging. I think if she loses this
