MSNBCW The Place For Politics 2016 April 15, 2016

Last year, the colorado gop voted to cancel their primary and instead hold district elections to support their delegates. I won those elections fair and square. You know what i think . I think the people of colorado did vote, but they were so high they completely forgot. It was a punchline last night, but today not really a laughing matter for the donald trump campaign. Hi again, everyone, im kate snow. Were live at fly creek cider mill in upstate new york. Donald trump is even further north of us. Were expecting to hear from the frontrunner any moment now near plattsburgh, new york. Thats near the canada border. You can expect to hear trump go after the Republican Party again. It seems like its trump versus the rnc part 25 or something, weve lost count. His oped in the wall street journal making it clear hes not happy with the partys election rules and how the system is working. Earlier on msnbc, the party hitting back. Everyone knew what the rules were. Again, i understand people may not like the process, find it archaic as the congressman said, but a lot of people didnt know what it was. Theres a lot of things i dont like the process of. I dont like the speed limit on my street, but i know i have to follow it or ill get a ticket. In anything you dont like, whether its a sporting event or contest, you immediately call foul and blame the process. But when the process has benefited them, they dont seem to complain too much. Our team of reporters and correspondents are out korg the campaigns for us today. Lets begin with Kristen Dahlgren. Shes about three and a half hours north of me in plattsburgh, new york. What are we expecting there this hour . Reporter a lot of people in plattsburgh. This is an area that doesnt get a lot of potential contenders. Excitement building in the room as well, and theres been so much focus on new york city, but you really could make the argument that this Congressional District is as important as any in new york state. As every state does, new york has a different way of doing its primary. So each Congressional District, all 27 in the state, are awarded three delegates. The winner has to get over 50 in order to get all three of those delegates in any Congressional District. And so thats really what were going to be looking for in tuesdays primary. You know, weve talked so much about donald trump narrowing that gap to get to the 1237, and each Congressional District and trying to get those three delegates from each really will make a difference. If hes under the 50 , and in some places upstate hes polling at about 40 , so if hes under the 50 , then some of the delegates could go to some of his opponents. Thats really something to watch as we move through the next three days as he makes his upstate swing and as we go into tuesdays primary, kate. We mentioned, kristen, the wall street journal oped, the tone wasnt as a brabrasive as ones, no exclamation points in there. Is he trying to tone things down while hes working with the rnc . Reporter there has been a little bit of a shift in his complaint there. Were seeing that reflected in some of the people ive been talking to in the crowd here, and what theyre saying is theyre really liking trumps sort of antiestablishment argument. Hes been making it all along. He continues in some way to make it, although its not quite perhaps as overt this time. All right, Kristen Dahlgren up in plattsburgh. Well keep an eye on that stage there, and as soon as we see donald trump after the introductions well bring that to you live. While we wait for him to take the stage, lets head over to hartford, connecticut. Thats where the gop frontrunner will be holding a rally after he wraps up upstate new york. Of course, connecticut votes one week after the primary here in new york. Nbcs jacob rascon is there for us. He joins me outside with a bit of a preview. Jacob . Reporter this crowd is excited. Theyve already been doing some chants. They already did the pledge of allegiance, and were still many hours away from the actual event. The line loops around. Weve got hundreds and hundreds of people already in line here. We also have a crowd of protesters not here yet, but on facebook they say theyre going to show up. As i walk around in the crowd, ive met some people i want to quickly talk to. This is lori, and lori is she voted democrat for a long time, voted for obama but has switched over. What pushed you over. Why trump . Im very much against the transpacific partnership, the tpp, and trump has a very strong stance against that. Thats a very important issue for me. Also, making saudi arabia and other nations pay their share and some of the conflicts the u. S. Has engaged in across the world. Thats very important and he raises that issue. Thank you very much, lori. I didnt know what that said, but it actually said latino for trump. They want to make sure there are women orla te latinos who suppo trump. We were talking earlier about the establishment trying to steal the nomination. A lot of people talk about that. You were talking about that. What does that mean to you . If you want to make sure that doesnt happen go to st stopthesteal. Org. Show up in july in cleveland. Youre planning to show up to the convention . I plan to show up. I also urge other supporters for trump to show up and show your support for trump and everything he stands for. Reporter we meet a lot of people who are excited about that campaign, the stopthesteal campaign which is headed by roger stone who was an adviser to trump before he was let go from the Campaign Many months ago. In connecticut, what we expect donald trump to do, as hes been doing in the last few rallies, is have specific data about the area where hes holding a rally, about how many jobs theyve lost. Its a sharper message that weve seen from trump over the last several days than weve seen before since the campaign hit the reset button. Kate . Jacob rasconover over in connecticut. Jacob, thanks. Sometimes those signs are not family friendly, so i understand why he pushed that sign over for a moment. Lets bring in boothe fu beth fuey. Lets start with Hillary Clinton today. She visited a Public Housing Senior Center in harlem, new york, in new york city, and we should poipt ont out that tuesdf this week Lawrence Odonnell visited a housing complex because all the president ial candidates had been ignoring invitations to visit one in the rampup to the primaries, and in the last week, they asked them why they were ignoring the invitation. Is the campaign listening and being responsive to that . Yeah, i mean, good for her for going. As you know, kate, new york probably has the biggest income disparity in the country. 1 versus 9 , there is nowhere else it isnt as striking. Given that Hillary Clinton is sometimes lambasted by sanders, she hits back pretty hard, but this is another way for her to say, look, im aware of the fact that there are people in new york that are hurting. Its not just people i spend my time with down on wall street. I want to talk to everybody and i want these folks to know i care about them as well. It was probably a smart move for her to go. Big news on the other side with Bernie Sanders going off to the vatican, visiting rome, and not seeing the pope directly but attending a conference there and talking about it. He was asked why he would leave the campaign trail so close to the new york primary. Lets take a listen. When i received this invitation yeah, i know its taking me away from the campaign trail for a day but when i received this information, it was so moving to me that it was something that i could just simply not refuse to attend. Jay, was that a good move on his part . What are people saying about taking time away at this critical moment . Theres certainly been critics saying Bernie Sanders, right before this critical campaign in new york, a make or break move for him, stepping away days before the primary is to begin, to fly off to rome to be in the same city as the pope and speak at the vatican seems a little bit strange, especially since hes not catholic. And given last nights debate, it seems like he was almost laying the groundwork to explain why he could lose the nomination, talking about telling truth to power, talking about his stance in israel with the palestinians, really coming down for the palestinians, against the israelis, and the jewish vote is a very crucial vote in new york. All these different kinds of positions hes been taking and the moves hes been making, it almost seems like a guy who is petering out a little bit, kind of, not necessarily realizing hes not going to make it to the general and just sort of doing what he can to obviously be very relevant moving forward, still be a strong voice in the Democratic Party on a lot of different issues, stand very strongly on those issues but have other priorities, frankly, like going to the vatican and speaking there. Well, beth, he would say, his campaign would say hes not giving up. Hes still working on new york state. In fact, they have a new ad out today. I want to play a clip of this new sanders ad. Wall street banks shower washington politicians with Campaign Contributions and speaking fees. What do they get for it . A rigged economy. Tax breaks and bailouts all held in place by a corrupt Campaign Finance system. While washington politicians are paid over 200,000 an hour for speeches, they oppose raising a living wage to 15 an hour. 1,000 an hour for them but not even 15 an hour for all americans. Enough is enough. Beth, they clearly think they have a Winning Strategy if they talk about wall street and they talk about minimum wage here. Does Bernie Sanders have a shot at winning some real delegates in new york state . Yeah, he does. I mean, its going to be a blowaway on the republican side from all of our polling. Weve seen that donald trump is expected to walk away very handily in new york on the republican side. There are certainly republican districts ask areas that Bernie Sanders will probably do well, but kate, its pretty clear at this point that Hillary Clinton is in a good position to win here. All the polling indicates that decision by the Sanders Campaign to allow him off the trail and go to rome for a day, thats not the sign of somebody who thinks hes got a good chance to win in new york. But yes, hes probably going to get some delegates, hes going to move on. We know hes got this incredible fundraising machine. He can basically send out an email asking for contributions and he gets flooded with donations. What were seeing, though, with that ad you just played is the t tenor and tone of this campaign has gotten more and more negative. Senator sanders tastes the possibility of victory which maybe he didnt six months ago, so now that he thinks he actually has a shot, hes really ramping up the negativity. Secretary clinton has really shot back with that. Six months ago the debates were very highminded, very friendly, but now things have gotten pretty tough between the two of them. Beth fuey, jay newtonsmall, thank you both. Keep an eye on the little box in the corner of your screen there. Thats donald trump in a rally in plattsburgh, new york, way up in upstate new york.

More on that in a moment. Lets talk about politics. How are you . Happy friday. Happy friday to you. You just heard jill biden talk about what could have been, what might have been. We would be in such a different race by now if joe biden were in it, wouldnt we . Im an admirer of his, but im really down on both parties, and i wonder if a guy whose first foot forward is compromised, be his own man and not willing to bow to the extremes on the left. Just like in the Republican Party, if you have to boy to extremes on the right, i dont know if a guy like that could have made much of a dent in the election. Thats an interesting point given the climate were in right now. Democratic voters dont like compromise. Yeah. Lets talk about new york for a moment. You could see that in the debate last night, couldnt you . New numbers out just today. A new wall street journal marist poll shows Hillary Clinton with a new lead here, 17 points up on Bernie Sanders. One of the surprising things about that poll, Bernie Sanders possibly the most successful jewish candidate in history. Hes gone farther than any other jewish candidate. Hes losing among new york Jewish Voters by a two to one margin. Any idea why that is . You would thinks people would be drawn to him. Well, people dont vote just because of the religious affinity. Theres two things going on here, i think. One, shes represented the state for two terms and is well known in new york. But as we saw in the debate, his answers on the palestinian israeli situation really arent going to sit very well with Jewish Voters who do have an affinity for the jewish state. I think those two things have a much bigger impact than the fact he happens to be jewish himself. Before i let you go, i want to ask you about the book, because it is related to politics. Its about president s. Everything is, right . Right, exactly. Everything goes back to politics. You have a son who has aspergers who is on the autism spectrum, and thats what you write about in the book, you write about parenthood. You know this week Robert Deniro has gotten a lot of attention raising the issue on the today show, saying he sees a link between vaccines, and theyve come down hard on him saying there is absolutely no scientific link to that. What is your advice for parents out there . First of all, i understand the difference between experts and a layman. Im a layman, im a dad just trying to help his son, and hes wrong on this issue. Autism has been a part of humanity since the beginning of humanity, and these men and women bring a lot of great attributes to society, and they need our support. I hope my book will help People Better understand how we can support our kids and how using senator clintons old book title, how we can be a better village to take care of these kids. But there is no link between vaccinations and autism. Thats silly. Thank you so much, ron. The book is love that boy. Its a great read. Lets go up to plattsburgh, new york now. You know what they do . Its like a major catastrophe. Ours is zero. Were down to practically nothing. Theres a stronglooking guy right there. Yeah. Thats okay. Thats my kind of guy. Hes got the flag, hes got the whole deal. Good job. Good job only in america, folks, only in america. [ chanting ] thank you. Thats true. The number of people with a job in plattsburgh has been has really i mean, over the last 15 years, its really gone down. There are nearly 3,000 fewer people right now working in your community than they had in 2000. Not good. Come on, folks, whats wrong here . Whats wrong . You know whats wrong, you need leadership, thats whats wrong. You got the right people. We got the best people. The Unemployment Rate in plattsburgh right now is higher today substantially than it was just six months ago. So who left . Everybody leaves. Theyre not going to leave with me, folks. Theyre going to pay a big penalty when they start leaving. Hey, folks, look. The politicians, they talk. I always say all talk, no action. When they leave and they go to mexico because they think were going to rip off the United States a little bit, so they close up whether its carrier or na busine nabisco or ford, or many others. Hundreds and hundreds of others. They think theyre moving to mexico, theyre going to make their product and theyre going to sell it back to you, and theres not going to be a nice big fat tax to pay . Not going to happen, folks, okay . And theyre not going to move. Theyre not going to move. They wont be moving so fast. You know, right now they have no down side. They leave us whether its here or anyplace, they leave us and they want to go to other countries, and they make their product and they sell it, and then somebody says, wel
