Police also shut down a protest outside the stock exchange. Law enforcement there have been banned all demonstrations fearing violent disorder. Turning now to the race for president and of course all eyes now on wisconsin. That states primary coming up on tuesday. Donald trump says he is win there, even as polls show him in second place behind senator ted cruz. It looks like we have a lot of votes. This is going to be something special. I have been in wisconsin now a lot. Im going to be here right up past the election, and i think were going to do really really well. Trump is working to make up some lost ground after a rough week for his campaign. He had to spent spend a lot of days defending comments on abortion, nato, and nuclear weapons. Trump says if he does win wisconsin, he will be able to secure the nomination. Ted cruz also in wisconsin where he told voters a trump nomination would basically hand the white house to Hillary Clinton. Donald trump is not the best candidate to go head to head with Hillary Clinton. If we nominate donald trump, it elects Hillary Clinton. She wins by double digits. Cruz will hold two rallies today in wisconsin. Now on the democratic side of the race, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are nearly tied shaping up to be a very interesting battleground state. Now, the two are still clashes on a date ahead of the next primary in new york which will be held april 19th. Clintons Campaign Says sanders team has turned down three dates they have offered. Sanders people say those dates simply dont make sense. The democrats last debate was last month. So a lot of eyes on wisconsin because theyre saying that if cruz pulls out a victory there as the polls show, it should make it for donald to get the needed delegates and if Bernie Sanders wins, that could be a game changer in terms of momentum before the contest back here to the northeast.
