- Tuesday was another big night for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. In the
Republican race, Trump won all five states up for grabs: Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware. He won at least 54 percent in every
state, capturing most of the delegates at stake. John Kasich placed second in
four of the contests. Ted Cruz placed second in one. On the Democratic side,
Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and
Connecticut. Sanders took Rhode Island. We begin a roundtable discussion with
four guests in New Mexico talking about Trump’s rise to become, as he now refers
to himself, "the presumptive nominee." "We have seen guns coming up from
Mexico," says Sue Wilson Beffort, a Republican member of the New Mexico state
Senate, who has not endorsed any presidential candidate but shares Trump’s
concerns about a "porous" border.
