WPVI Good Morning America April 20, 2016

Stranded on a desserted island in 110degree heat. I think he had pretty much given up hope. How they found him just in time. He wont throw away his shot. Battle over the 10 bill after reports a woman may not take center stage on the money starring Alexander Hamilton. What the hit broadway show may have to do with that. Rise up rise up im going take a shot good morning, america. All kinds of races going on this wednesday morning. We got Alexander Hamilton versus susan b. Anthony for the 10 bill. That could come today. Also coming off a decisive night in the race for the white house. Dramatic as new yorkers cast their votes. Both donald trump and Hillary Clinton walking away with double digit wins. A crushing blow to Bernie Sanders right there. 16point win and donald trump with a huge win over ted cruz and john kasich right there. A clean sweep, nearly a clean sweep of new yorks big pile of delegates. As you can imagine our team is covering every angle. Abcs tom llamas is starting us off at trump headquarters in new york. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you. Donald trump said he was only going to celebrate for two hours and then it was back to work. Quite a scene here last night at trump tower as youre about to see. This as ted cruz is now tangling with someone other than trump. New York New York reporter overnight, with sinatra blasting, his children cheering hen wife melania by his side, donald trump put his touch on the new york victory. Were going to end at a very high level and get a lot more delegates than anybody projected even in their wildest imaginations. The gop frontrunner thanking his campaign in the midst of a staff shakeup. New leadership and new hires coming in to help trump secure the nomination. I really want to thank my team, my team has been amazing and, you know, its actually a team of unity. Its evolving but people dont understand that. Reporter and in trumps brief speech he found time to single out his closest rival. Nobody should take delegates and claim victory unless they get those delegates with voters and voting. Reporter the billionaire trying to make the case its time for senator ted cruz to step aside. Based on what im seeing on television, senator cruz is just about mathematically eliminated. Reporter but cruz says hes staying in the race until the convention and now losing his patience with people who question his delegate roundups in some states. The only people asking this question are the hardcore donald trump supporters. Why do you do this every dingell time . No, you got to stop. Every time i have you on the air and i ask a legitimate question you try to throw this in my face. Im getting sick of it. Getting into it with conservative talk show host sean, can i answer your question without being interrupted. Go ahead. This notion of voterless election, it is nonsense. They are making it up. Reporter cruz tearing into the Trump Campaign. I cannot help that the Donald Trump Campaign does not seem capable of running a lemonade stand. If you lose dont cry about it. Reporter not happy with that line of questioning, already setting his sights on one of the next big contests, today in pennsylvania, one of the states voting next tuesday. George. Okay, tom, thanks very much. To the democrats, Hillary Clinton scored close to a knockout blow over Bernie Sanders in new york so shes turning her focus to november with tough words are to the gop. Cecilia vega here with the latest. Reporter good morning to you. As you said it was a serious blow to sanders with this win, Hillary Clinton calling this home turf victory personal. I was in the room for that victory speech. She is now laser focused on the general election and taking on the republicans. New york reporter this morning Hillary Clinton truly in an empire state of mind. Today you proved once again theres no place like home. [ cheers and applause ] reporter celebrating a new york grand slam in her adopted home state, a win that pushes the democratic nomination nearly out of Bernie Sanders reach and has clinton feeling confident about her chances ahead. The race for the democratic nomination is in the home stretch and victory is in sight. Reporter after a heated battle here, clinton now extending an olive branch to some iffers. And to all the people who supported senator sanders i believe there is much more that you nights us than divides us. Reporter while taking shots at others. Donald trump and ted cruz [ booing ] are pushing a vision for america thats divisive and, frankly, dangerous. Reporter sanders still vowing to stay in the race and he has already moved on to the next big battle. Thank you. Reporter this morning, sanders is back home in vermont taking a day off the trail after that bruising new york loss. Next week we will be competing in pennsylvania, connecticut, rhode island, maryland and delaware and we look forward to winning a number of those states. Reporter sanders says he is not going anywhere but overnight one of his advisers reportedly said that after next weeks votes, the team will assess where they are. They do, though, concede he has to win most of the states ahead but there is no question about it, robin, when it comes to delegates, clinton has the mathematical advantage right now that will be nearly impossible to beat. All right, cecilia, youre talking about delegates. Lets go to abcs jon karl where the delegate race stands right now. Start off with republicans. Reporter a huge win in new york for donald trump, especially when it comes to delegates. Hes won so far 89 of new york delegates. John kasich only 3. Ted cruz entirely shut out. To give you ang idea of how sweeping it was, donald trump won all of the congressional districts in the entire state of new york except for one, the one that he lost is right there, the one that includes trump tower. John kasich has won that congressional district. The 12th by 70 votes so where does it stand now overall . Trump is closing in on the magic number he needs to clinch the nomination. He needs just 392 more. About 58 of the delegates going forward, ted cruz is now mathematically eliminated from clinching before the Convention Just like john kasich. In terms of the road ahead, the next states next week, a week from today, again, more states in the northeast, the biggest prize of all, pennsylvania, by the way, that will be an organizational challenge for ted cruz for donald trump because only 17 of the delegates in pennsylvania go to the winner, the rest are the actual delegates that run under their own names. All right, jon, thank you very much. Over now to george. Okay, im here with matthew dowd and cecilia vega, as well. Lets start out with the democrats, matt dowd. It looks like when you saw that interesting concession cecilia just reported from the sanders team that next week its more or less do or die from them. Just in time for Hillary Clinton because the way the race has been going here in new york was taking a toll on her overall numbers. Yeah, her overall numbers have declined both in the primary and general election in the course of this. I actually think sanders, hes back home today. I think he needs to reassess and decide where to go from here fundamentally because the math is a problem. To give a little homage or paraphrase aaron burr hamilton, he needs to ask himself, the world is wide enough for hillary and me and i think thats what he needs to decide. He can stay but does he need to get into a duel with her thats what theyre bracing for at the Clinton Campaign. Looking ahead to trump and cruz but they know they have to fix her promise on honesty and trustworthiness. And especially if sanders doesnt go away. I think youll hear the Clinton Campaign behind closed doors, you will hear Democratic Party leaders say, Bernie Sanders, its time for you to step aside because these attacks youre hitting Hillary Clinton with will start to hurt her. As she clearly starts to pivot focused on trump and ted cruz. Jon karl, on the republican side, boy, such a tough night for ted cruz. Even though hes been gaining the delegates hes been getting crushed by the voters. The question is where does he find a win . Hes probably going to get crushed again next week. Those states coming forward a poll that just came out in connecticut, another one next tuesday, trumps got a huge lead there. Hes had a lead in pennsylvania. But, again, that Pennsylvania State is interesting because 54 of the delegates are elected under their own name so you vote for president ial candidate but youre also voting for individual delegates. But, matthew dowd, it looks like were getting to the point where all donald trump has to do is actually get close because hes got that powerful argument that a lot of Republican Voters agree with, whoever has the most states and the most voters and the most delegates in the convention should get the nomination. I think this is a big turning point in the race. He won with such an overwhelming victory and basically cleared up almost every single delegate and hell consistently win and now ted cruz has lost his only argument which he was the only one that had the bhat on his side. He has the same possibility of getting 1,237 by june 7th as john kasich does at this point and that is zero. Theres still a real chance that trump will not clinch before the convention, still an uphill battle. If he gets 1150, i think he can get the inbound des on his side. Who do you think the clinton wants to run against . Trump. No doubt, trump, theyre ready . Thank you all very much and Hillary Clinton will be here live answering your questions for our coffee with the candidates town hall. Back to robin. That Severe Weather in the heartland. Tornadoes touching down overnight and now flash flood alerts across four states in the south. Abcs rob marciano is here and has the latest. Good morning. Those are the two areas of concern, more in the way of rain across the flood zone and more of this out of la donladdonia, missouri. No harm, no foul there but definitely harm north of texas. This drone video shot, also incredible amounts of water, sill the Cypress River has yet to recede. Bigtime storms coming through dallas and that convective mass heading towards dallas and will probably stir up more in the way of rain. Northeast has its problems in the way of dry air. Robin. All right, thank you, rob. We move overseas to breaking news. Another earthquake has hit the coast of ecuador this morning. As the country races to find survivors from saturdays deadly quake. Abcs linzie janis is near the e epicenter where theyre still feeling aftershocks. Good morning, linzie. Reporter theres a dramatic scene unfolding behind me. These rescuers say they think they heard the voice of a man underneath the rubble shouting down into a hole saying do you hear me . They say they also hear what sounds like a coin being tapped against something metal. This morning, searchers digging through the rubble with at least 200 people still missing. There are glimmers of hope. 51yearold Pablo Cordova pulled from inside a collapsed hotel after making a cell phone call from beneath the rubble. His wife, so sure he was gone, she purchased his coffin. In the resort town of ma nchnta another man dragged out. A layer of dust so thick you can hardly see his skin.

Well, a federal Appeals Court has struck down a Virginia School districts rule that banned a transgender teen from using the bathroom of his gender identity.

A sign of the times in the computer industry. Intel is cutting 12,000 jobs because of slow sales. Thats about 11 of that companys workforce. And some dramatic video overseas.
