Let's bring in ABC's Jon Karl with a look at
the all-important delegate map.Now,the Ted Cruz and Bernie
Sanders have both won big in Wisconsin and all this
talk of contested convention what is actually going on.
on the republican side? This was a big blow for
Donald Trump last night and just got a alot harder
for him to clinch the nomination before the convention. Look
where the numbers are right now. He has a big
deal among delegates but a long way from the 1,237
that he needs to win to get there now, he
needs to get 60% of the remaining delegates, extremely difficult.
Cruz, It's virtually impossible ,he needs 87%, kasich,it is
impossible to get a majority before the convention so what
does it add up to? It's virtually certain we're headed
to a contested convention.Speaking of considerable lead,Clinton has
has one interms of delegates but Bernie Sanders still
has that momentum.Reporter: What a victory last night in
Wisconsin but if you look at the overrall delegate map,
Hillary Clinton has a huge lead, almost 700 delegates more
than Bernie sanders but why? Mostly because of those so-called
superdelegate, democratic officials who can vote however they want regardless
of how their states went.If you look at the
states Bernie Sanders has won 15 states, almost as many
as Hillary Clinton.Now ,she's still got many more votes
and can only win 35% of delegates going forward and
still clinch the nomination.Nothing boring about this election.
All right.Thank you,Jon.And let's send it over to
George.Let's pick up with Matt dowd, our little analyst
When I sat down with Hillary Clinton yesterday she said
She didn't have to wing New York,That's not exactly ture.
No, I think she has to win New York,
not because of the math of the situation, but because
it con dates the party and goes into a general election.
She doesn't want to be in a situation where
she's lost multiple states and loses her home state,Makes
it difficult headed to the general.Big win for Ted
Cruz.What you saw there, you were remarking Donald Trump's
support didn't go down.It's just Ted Cruz consolidated all
of the anti-strum of almost all of it,which means
a delegate-by-delegate, district-by-district fight going forward.Likely to go to
a contested convention.For Donald, he'll have to decide if
it's his Waterloo or Aamo and he'll have to make
that difference and to quote "Invictus."He was the pastor
of his fate and master of his control.Jon, you're
back here right now.If he doesn't get to that
big number of 1,237 we have this open convention.Let's
walk through what it means.First day a vote over
who is even eligible to get the monination.That's right.
This is unchartered territory in our lifetimes.Last time we
had a multiballot open contested convention was 1948 so have
that argument over rules and first ballot which essentiall follws
how the states voted you, but virtually all those become
free to how to vote and you have an entirely
new election with simply those 2,500 delegates.They have all
the power at that point,Matthew dowd.A lot think
if he doesn't win on the first ballot he can't
get there.If Ted Cruz does't win on the second
ballot they'll look for somebody else.Their highest number for
him is trump and Ted Cruz for the second.Trump
said he doesn't care about the rules but the rules
matter and he'll have a problem if he doesn't figure
that out before the convention
