The Final Five: Interview with Gov. John Kasich
COOPER: And welcome back to our interviews with the final five candidates. Coming up, we're going to hear from Secretary Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Senator from Vermont. And you'll also going to hear from Donald Trump coming up in just a few minutes. Well, let's get some quick thoughts from our panel. So far, we've heard from Governor Kasich, we've also heard from Senator Cruz, Gloria.</s>GLORIA BORGER, CNN CHIEF POLITICAL ANALYST: Well, I think neither these guys are getting out any time soon. And, you know, Kasich believes he's the most electable. Doesn't sound like Cruz actually wants to be on the ticket with Donald Trump when Wolf was talking to him ...</s>COOPER: Kasich either, doesn't he?</s>BORGER: No, Kasich -- well, and these things can change, you know, of course. But Cruz in particular seemed to be really belittling Donald Trump's grasp of foreign policy tremendously.</s>COOPER: It's interesting, John King, because Cruz is much more willing to go after Donald Trump than John Kasich is.</s>JOHN KING, CNN CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes. Kasich has decided, I'm going to be the nice guy and I'm going to somehow try to parlay my Ohio win into more delegates. Tell me where he's going to win. They do hope when the schedule, his schedule is west this week, Arizona, which is winner take all, Trump is favored, he gets those, his path continues. But Utah could be the most important state whether Ted Cruz can get above 50 percent, he get about 50 percent, he get all those delegates. Kasich is waiting on Pennsylvania. He says only the plan on Wisconsin which is on the 5th's, a few weeks from now, right, to two weeks from Tuesday. Where is he going to win? I don't know. But, they all seem to hope, they all keep hoping for this moment and they're hoping this meeting of AIPAC, all of the candidates who set Senator Sanders a year, the pro-Israel group AIPAC. And I hope that there is this moment where someday people say, Donald Trump is not up to it. He's not ready for it.</s>COOPER: Hasn't happened yet?</s>KING: Hadn't happened yet.</s>COOPER: Nia?</s>NIA-MALIKA HENDERSON, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL REPORTER: No, I mean, you look at our poll and for instance, 70 percent say, listen, Kasich should probably drop out of this race. And you also just look at the trajectory of Donald Trump, something in like 12 percent in June. He's at like 47 percent now and all along the way they've have this hope and dream and plan to -- that he would implode or that something would happen that the anti-Trump or never Trump movement would work and it never has.</s>COOPER: Right.</s>DANA BASH, CNN CHIEF POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: Yeah. And I was actually at AIPAC this afternoon and there's no question John Kasich gave a very rousing speech. He had the entire place, which was tens of thousands of people on their feet applauding. He gave a speech really like I haven't been before and Donald Trump did as well. And the whole room was ...</s>COOPER: Donald Trump actually gave a speech.</s>HENDERSON: He gave his speech from a teleprompter. And the room just sort of didn't know what to do with it, because that was not the Donald Trump that they were used to seeing on their television for six months. But one thing I would say about what John Kasich said to you was about the fact that he believes, firmly believes that once he gets the convention floor, if there is no nominee that the delegates will turn around and look at the poll that you just showed that he is the most electable and that that's why he's going just buckle in and wait until it get to ...</s>COOPER: Coming up next, the Republican front-runner weighs in. Donald Trump joins us here in the CNN election center, that interview right after this quick break.
