During an msnbc town hall on wednesday, trump said women should be punished for getting abortions. I dont care what the question is. You dont say that on tv even if youre on wheel of fortune and the board says women should be unished announcer this portion of cbs this morning sponsored by toyota. Lets go places welcome to cbs this morning. 24 hours before the wisconsin primary, donald trump is trying to bounce back from a series of campaign setbacks. The latest cbs news Battleground Tracker shows ted cruz leading trump by six points in wisconsin. That margin is smaller than other recent polls. John kasich is a distant third. Our poll also shows trump has doubledigit leads over cruz in pennsylvania and new york. The two biggest States Holding primaries later this month. Major garrett is in Milwaukee Campaign today. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. Looking at our wisconsin poll, donald trump said he is essentially tied with ted cruz. But that is statistical guesswork out of the combined efforts of cruz and scott walker and a harsh political relate. One trump tried to deal with yesterday by essentially apologizing for most of last week. I dont know if its the worse week in my campaign. Reporter on tv and in print, donald trump did the unthinkable and unusual he expressed regret. He told the New York Times columnist maureen dowd retweeting a unflattering picture of heidi cruz was a mistake. Was this my best week . I guess not. I could have done without the retweet, et cetera, et cetera, but i think im doing okay. Reporter trump attempted to clarify comments he made about punishing women who seek abortions. Well, i i i as a have rather asked answered it in a different manner, yeah. Trump stated the obvious on where things stand on face the nation but searched for an answer what abortion is. At this moment the laws are set and i think we have to leave it that way. Do you think its murder . Abortion . I have my opinions on it, but id rather not comment on it. Reporter ted cruz quoted conservative pundits and those opposed to abortion who he said now rightly question his true believes. Donalds answers are the answer of someone a liberal trying to think what he thinks conservatives want to hear. Reporter later on sunday, trump insisted he had been misunderstood. I took that answer and i i didnt like it because i think a lot of people didnt understand it. Women go through a lot. They go through a tremendous punishment of themselves and i didnt like it because i wasnt sure if people wouldnd it. So i clarified it. Reporter trump is now battling to win wisconsins 42 running a distant third, is complicating those efforts. Kasich shouldnt be allowed to continue and the rnc shouldnt allow him to continue. And kasich has more an impact on me than cruz, in my opinion. Reporter the Republican National committee has no power to remove any candidate from the race and there was a time trump liked the competition. Kasich for his part is now drawing fire in terms of tv ads and negative mailers from cruz. Proof that kasich support, while small, could be pivotal here and elsewhere. Thank you, major. Democratic race in wisconsin is effectively tied this morning. Our Battleground Tracker shows Bernie Sanders leading Hillary Clinton by 2 and less than the polls margin of error. Clinton is facing more of the next primary in new york, two weeks from tomorrow. Both campaigns are fighting when to hold a debate there. Nancy cordes is here in studio 57 and she is watching the democratic race. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The sanders camp says clinton is trying to avoid a big audience by proposing a debate tonight during the ncaa championship or next week in the morning. The clinton camp says they have offered multiple debates but sanders is the one who is holding out to stir up trouble. Im not the one negotiating it. That is going on between my campaign and i know my campaign is really trying. Reporter the biggest argument between clinton and sanders wasnt about wall street or health care but scheduling a debate here in new york. During it during the ncaa finals makes for sense and doing it in the morning when people are not watching it in large numbers makes no sense. Reporter on sunday, the Sanders Campaign accused its rival of quote disingenuously proposing a debate on the night he has a big rally. The Sanders Campaign needs to stop with the campaigns and accusing of it using fake issues to attack her on the issue. Thank you all very much. Reporter wisconsin votes sanders could rack up his fourth straight victory. Staying power means clinton has gotten hammered from the left longer than she expected. As secretary of state, she actively supported fracking around the world. Clinton argued sanders is distorting her record. I have been working to try to move us away from fossil fuels for many years. Reporter last week, it wasnt republicans raising the fbi investigation into clintons server, it was sanders supporter an actress dawson introducing him in the south bronx. Yes, she is under the fbi investigation. Thank you. Reporter sanders defended dawson on sunday but insisted he is staying away from the topic. A lot of people say, bernie, why dont you go after her on her fbi investigation . Why dont you go after her on the Clinton Foundation money . We have chosen not to do that. Reporter the clinton camp argues comments like that are topics without really talking about them. On sunday, clinton insisted the fbi has not asked her for an interview, but said as she has before, charlie, that she is happy to answer any questions the agents might have. Thanks, nancy. Cbs news political director and face the nation moderator John Dickerson is in washington. Good morning, charlie. Even though donald trump is ahead in new york and in pennsylvania, if he loses in wisconsin, will that do significant damage to his nomination pathway . Well, it will be a big bump in the road for him for two reasons. One, just the simple delegates and it will matter is not just who wins wisconsin but how they beat him . Cruz get all 42 delegates or a smaller number. That is crucial the 1,237 delegates trump need to get the nomination is the key number to Pay Attention to. If he lost, makes it harder for him to get to that number before cleveland. Then there is just the momentum question. This last week has been framed people might think the results in wisconsin, if trump loses is a sort of ratification of bad judgment of last week on his campaign. But he told you yesterday on face the nation he was one of you guests, he did not necessarily consider that his worst week. Were you surprised that was his response . He is an optimistic guy and people rarely will say i had a terrible week. You see his behavior at the end of the week and admissions suggesting he recognizes there are some things he needs to clean up. But the great news for the Trump Campaign and for him is that he has got a 30point lead in new york and 20point lead in pennsylvania. Those are the next two contests. They will certainly argue if he loses wisconsin, that its a different kind of state, that its more a state that ted cruz would be prepared to do better in. John, how do you analyze the Battleground Tracker poll that shows 78 of trumps supporters in wisconsin say that trump has said things have been unfair or gone too far but they are voting for him any way . Undergirds his support after all, which is a lot of voters ive talked to, they say, yes, he goes too far and wish he wouldnt say a thing or two here or there, but they think he speaks to a larger truth in the way no other candidate comes close to. That is what they love about him and they are willing to take him off the hook on all of the other stuff. Can you imagine any circumstances that john kasich would leave the race before the convention . I think its pretty hard to figure that out. I mean, he hasnt left so far and the fact that donald trump wants him to leave, im sure having not talked to the governor, that makes him ntwant to stay in and all john kasich is trying to do is take delegates away from donald trump. Now ted cruz is running ads against the Ohio Governor too. More motivation to stay in for john kasich. Something must be going right is the way he would read that. John dickerson, thank you so much. Spring feels more like winter this morning in parts of the northeast. State and southern new england. The early spring storms are blamed for several accidents. Two people died in massachusetts where up to half foot of snow could pile up today. Jericka duncan is in worcester, west of boston. Good morning. Reporter good morning.
