outspoken donald trump or the reserved, laid-back donald trump? >> in both cases he's a liaison for change. one thing that is consistent is this message that we've had enough of washington status quo, we're ready for a change. that donald trump unequivocally showing up tonight. >> she's going to hit him on a lot of issues, including, for example, why he refuses to release his tax returns. how will he respond? >> i think he'll respond in kind. he's going to make sure he answers the question, but he's also going to push back. this is not a guy who is going to sit back with politically correct responses. i think the tone might be a little bit different but he's not going to sit back and not answer it, and i think that's what america is ready for and that's why he's surging in the polls. it's because people are ready for someone who stands up and fights. >> why did he fight a benghazi survivor, a man named mark geist, to sit in one of the front seats? he's sending a message to hillary clinton who invited mark cuban. >> sure. but mark geist is someone

all of this is on donald trump. he can change the game if he does the things that we are lining out here. and if he starts assuring conservatives how he is going to break us together versus dividing us apart. if it is a choice between donald trump and hillary clinton, and people say, at least he is better than hillary clinton, that is not the bar we are looking for. >> exactly. -- i haveke to say heard for too many years as a conservative in the republican party that they have no choice. conservatives take the back seat. voteare you going to do, for the democrat? i heard that from mitch mcconnell a couple of weeks ago but we do have a choice. we have a choice going into the convention. and i'm hearing a lot about how we want to donald trump to tell us ahead of the convention who was going where so that most people can control on trump. i don't want a republican president who needs to be controlled. i want a republican president to have the clear, articulate vision for the future and has a team who can put together t

donald tru trump leading only by 11. hillary clinton eating into donald trump's base there. white women with a college degree. this is a very big group of voters. this is a group that romney won by six points in 2012. now trump is losing them by 30. that's the biggest single reason why he is so far behind hillary clinton in this new poll today. joining us now is patrick murramurra murray. he is the founder of the monmouth polling institute. we have heard a lot this year about this college/no college divide. it's blue collar versus cos cosmopolitan. >> it is mainly among women. that's a huge swing of over 30 points from romney to clinton's advantage now with this group. who are these women? they look a lot like senator susan collins. these are women who are telling us that they really are uncomfortable with donald trump's temperament. in fact, in susan collins op-ed, she said that he does not have the temperament to be president, right? that's exactly what these voters are telling us. we saw the number of voters who say donald trump has the temperament to be president went do

it was a good tuesday for donald trump. he's the leader in the race, no question, he'll have attend of the day, about 250 delegates ted cruz and marco rubio, between them, will have won about 320 delegates. hillary clinton is pretty comfortably ahead. this race, there are two possible paths, trump winning or trump not winning and ending up with a brokered or contested convention. everything depends on two weeks from tonight. if he wins florida and ohio, it's probably over. if he loses both of them, we're probably going to a contested convention. if he wins one and loses one, hard to tell. last 4 hours in this never trump, stop trump movement in both of those states. >> up to this point, the arguments against donald trump have all failed, the arguments that he's not conservative tonight, he doesn't have the temperament enough to be president he's not actually looking out for the little guy who represents donald trump's voting base within the republican party. it remains to be seen if it's too little too late. >> cokie, you h

>> donald trump is cleaning house. donald trump, 147 delegates so far donald trump. swamping ted cruz, marco rubio and john kasich. when you add in the contests we have already seen, here's where the race stands -- you got trump, 229. only 81 for cruz, 47 for marco rubio. this means -- look at this -- this is where they have to go. in his home state of florida, get all 99 delegate there is, win in ohio, he still would be trailing donald trump. >> what that means, matthew, what you're looking at these campaigns, the reasons these other candidates are staying in, it's not just about them getting the number but preventing donald trump from getting that nominee. >> the results of tonight not only shown donald trump dominating is to quote, the favorite bird's song, turn, turn, turn. their reason is to stay in this -- stop donald trump from getting to 1237. their goal, keep him under that and have a contested convention. >> think about that, keep him from getting a majority going into a convention. he would clearly have a huge lead going into a convention. somehow at the c

donald: the debt. mark: is there any person that you look at and said -- and you say, that person has a great record and are really formidable? donald: you mention carly fiorina. she was viciously fired. mark: you are very good at firing people. donald: i really don't like firing people. people don't know that, but i really don't. except on the apprentice. but carly fiorina was fired and walked out and in a landslide. and then you say, that's ok, i will one for president? i don't like that. rick has come up to see me in the last couple of months twice. mark: santorum. donald: right, and i say look, you lost by 17 points in the senate. now you say, ok, i'm going to run for president? mark: what about rick perry and my b? -- mike huckabee? donald: rick perry i had dinner with him and he is really a fine person. i like him a lot, but i think he will have a hard time getting over that. and i'm not just talking about -- i'm talking about -- i think he's going to have a really hard time getting over that. i

donald trump leads here -- whoops, sorry -- and donald trump leads here. so we were talking all in the last couple weeks donald trump had such a narrow path, like drawing to an inside straight flush. >> take away iowa and -- take away iowa. hillary clinton slightly ahead, and arizona. give him arizona. >> we'll make it a toss up. if you give trump this one, i think most people expect she'll get this based on early voting. we took iowa away . if donald trump take this is, and gives her virginia, but if donald trump holds florida, we've called ohio, so this comes down again. the trump campaign said from day one we're going to prove you-all wrong and we're going to win with the rust belt strategy, oral their anchor was pennsylvania, that's the irony in the sense pennsylvania at the moment, again we haven't called it, but pennsylvania at the moment clinton with the healthy lead, michigan and wisconsin are the flashing red alerts. >>> we have another major project ek proje projection. the common wealth of virginia will go to hillary clinton. 13 electoral votes

victory for donald trump‘ of america, donald trump. victory for donald trump‘ he will victory for donald trump‘ he will become the nation's 44th president, become the nation's 44th president, now become the nation's 44th president, now it become the nation's 44th president, now it is time for become the nation's 44th president, now it is time for america to now it is time for america to bind the wounds of the wounds of division, and to get together. the wounds of division, and to get together. to the wounds of division, and to get together. to att the wounds of division, and to get together. to att republicans and together. to att republicans and democrats and independents across democrats and independents across this nation democrats and independents across this nation i say, it is time democrats and independents across this nation i say, it is time for this nation i say, it is time for us to come together to come together as one united people, to come together as one united people, mr to come together as one united people, mrtrum

donald trump, he also has a win. donald trump will win in idaho with its four electoral votes. another win for donald trump in idaho. all right. let's take a look at the electoral college map now with these oregon and washington state by the way. too early to call, oregon and washington state. now let's take a look at the electoral college map. hillary clinton has gone ahead with 190 electoral votes to donald trump's 171 electoral votes. 270 needed to win the white house. hillary clinton is now ahead in the all-important electoral college map count. are they breathing a little bit easier over there at clinton headquarters? >> i don't think so, to be completely honest. at some point, in this night, as we watch the returns come in from states such as wisconsin and michigan, the clinton headquarters was very confident that they had -- that was their firewall, remember? wisconsin wasn't even a part of the conversation. it was michigan, it was pennsylvania, and virginia, and new hampshire, when these return comes in, okay they have virginia but pennsylvania's still up in the air. ne

some of what donald trump had to say is quite fascinating about the way donald trump sees donald trump. that's coming up. we thohters tp you stay regular caused unwanted gas. not good. en we switch to mirabe caused unwanted gas. ly mafiber supports regularity and is ls like to c.. unwant g. nally. itchmirafiber. from e marsf ralax. jess: [music] hey look, it's tho guys. shawn: look at those pear whites,an [music] bud: whoa, cute!shut-up. jess are u good drive? bud: shawn: wh[musicte!m fine..

it might be the fifth event he has appeared with donald trump and wants to make sure that donald trump is safe and that everyone who's come out in support of and even those against are also safe. are you getting any kind of timeline as to when this might happen? if donald trump is caught up in some of that traffic? that snarl that had been caused earlier or what? >> reporter: we have not yet heard exactly why donald trump is late. again, i wouldn't necessarily say it's because of the protests. he certainly has a motorcade able to get through whatever it needs to get through. donald trump is sometimes, however, late to his events. half hour, sometimes an hour. people have been waiting here in the hot sun for than and while waiting, heard from a woman whose sonkilled by an undocumented immigration. what you hear at the donald trump rallies because of illegal immigration being a problem. and here in arizona, a border state, an issue we expect donald trump to speak to today as well as sheriff joe arpaio, who's planning on introducing him. >> all right. jeremy diamond. we're looking at what

donald trump still with the lead. more results when we come back. >> we'll be back in times [burke] at farmers, we've seen almost everything, so we know how to cover almost anything. even a rodent ride-along.

donald trump voters. when you talk about a brokered convention and as much as this pains me to say because i am not the biggest donald trump fan as you can possibly tell -- >> no way. >> no, it was hard. but can you not just say and push aside all of these millions of voters who have come out and he's won. i said this earlier today -- >> stood in line. >> and the question was, we had this question about his ceiling, we had these artificial ceilings, 25%, 30% and could he get people to the polls. donald trump has proven he is a winner. until somebody proves him wrong, this theory about a brokered convention or paul ryan or mitt romney, god bless mitt romney, none it have is going to work. >> the big challenge, two weeks is not a lot of time when donald trump has spent the last eight months digging in and his support has calcified. so many of these supporters, they're invested in seeing him win. the idea that we can change the fundamentals of the race i think in two weeks is very, very hard. but, i mean, wh

donald had a good week. he had a good week in the northeast where he lives, and donald is very worried because this race has shifted to much more favorable terrain. i think indiana will be a pivotal state for the entire country, and so donald sadly aided and abetted by media network executives who are all liberal democrats, who are all rooting for hillary, are quick to say that the race is over. donald desperately wants it to be over. it's the same reason donald won't debate, because he cannot defend his left-wing policy that is he agrees with hillary clinton on. indeed, at the last debate we had, i asked donald, name one instance in which you have ever stood up to washington, ever in your life. you're nearly 70 years old. point one time you stood up to washington. donald could not point to a single instance in his life that he had ever stood up to washington because donald trump is a washington insider. washington is corrupt. donald trump is corrupt. hillary clinton is corrupt. they're all part of the same

what donald wants is all of us who are convince donald is not the right nominee to be splintered. divided. looking at this race, only one kantd has beaten donald trump. historically, in modern times, no one has won the nomination that hasn't won one of the first three states. only two of us have done that. me and domd. if you look at super tuesday. we're the only campaign in a position to beat donald on super tuesday. if you're at home and you don't think donald is the right conditioned. you think nominating him will end up electing hillary clinton, even if prapts you like perhaps you like another candidate, i would encourage you to stand with us. the only way to beat donald is to stanld together on super tuesday. >> sounds like you're not ready >>> chris christie next in a "this week" exclusive. janet? cough if you can hear me. don't even think about it. i took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. yeah...but what about mike? it works on his cough too. cough! it works on his cough too. mucinex dm relieves wet and dry coughs for 12 hours. let's end this. jane likes to mix things up. th

donald likes activity. >> what words would you use to describe donald trump? >> i've always had great imagination. i've had great success with money. i've actually gotten along well with people over the years. >> you have said that one of the most important aspects in your personality is winning. why winning? what about the, "it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game?" >> i like winning better. look, we have to win. >> reporter: trump says another part of the formula for success is not revealing your weaknesses. >> well, i don't want to reveal fears because if i reveal fears, i'm giving up something. we all have certain fears and everybody has fears. but i don't like revealing my fears. >> my name is donald trump, and i'm the largest real estate >> reporter: next after extending his footprint on land, he conquered the air. television. >> you wanna be in the presence of donald j. trump, you cannot be weak. >> you're fired. you're all fired. >> reporter: stay with us. more "earning something you love" per roll bounty is more absorbent, so the

donald talks about immigration. in the 2013 battle over amnesty. against the gang of eight amnesty bill, donald trump was funding the gang of eight. five of the eight members from donald trump. you can't fund open border democrats and say you're going to secure the border and stop illegal immigration. >> you have made that point for weeks. it doesn't seem to be sticking. why not? >> listen, i think we're seeing real movement in the polls. we won in iowa. i think on super tuesday, we'll have a good night. it was striking at the debate this week, when donald trump does agreed with me. number one, on israel. he said america should be neutral between israel and the palestinians. i strongly disagree. if i'm president, america will stand unapologetically with israel. willing to cut deals. compromise. i'll tell you right now. i'll tell the people at home. i'm not going to compromise on the bill of rights. i'm not going to bargain away your second amendment rights and sit down with harry reid or chuck schumer and agree on s

>> donald trump. looking to lock up the nomination and defy his critics. >> i'm act presidential you but if somebody hits me i'm going to hit them back harder. >> ted cruz. eager to go one on one with the front-runner. >> for those who have supported other candidates, we welcome you on our team standing united as one. >> marco rubio. in a make or break bid to win his florida home turf. >> i will campaign as long as it takes and wherever it takes to ensure that i am the next president of the united states. >> john kasich. staking his campaign on his home state of ohio. >> a positive message and raising the bar for our kids will win. we'll win in this country. >> now the stage is set for an intense debate about who should lead the republicans and the nation. >> a turning point is coming in this election and for this country. >> we are seeing republicans uniting. >> the republicans are eating their own. we have to bring things together. >> the fight for the white house returns to florida right now. >>> a

donald trump is fighting against the math. a new cnn/orc has hillary clinton leading donald trump by five points. trump says the polls are just wrong. >> i believe we're actually winning. i believe we are actually winning. if you read the new york times and read some of the phony papers. these are phony dishonest papers. if you read this stuff, it's like what are we doing? what are we wasting time? i think we're winning. >> as you can see, he is fighting not just math, but the media. cnn's jim acosta is traveling with donald trump and has the latest. >> reporter: john and christine, donald trump is ramping up attacks on the national news media accusing news outlets with dark polls. covering the campaign as crooks and thieves. as a rally in tampa, he said they don't care about hard working people. >> the media isn't just against me. they're against all of you. that's what it is. like hillary clinton, they look down on hard working people within our country. the media is entitled, condescending and contemptuous of people who don

hillary clinton and donald trump. information. hillary clinton and donald trump. we need to make sure we get that. we have a candidate that's being accused of fraud. with trump university. him. we're seeing things with donald trump with no answers. i have seen him talk about being for universal health care. wanting to do things. he's not giving us the answers for it. he'll make the republican party question who we are and what that's something we don't want to see happen. >> you heard governor chris tee say he thinks donald trump is the only candidate left in the clinton. >> it's that's just not true. chris is a dear friend. did this. i will tell you, donald trump can't beat hillary clinton. his cap is at 35%. his negatives are so high. it's impossible for him to win a general. marco rubio is the only one that can defeat donald trump and can beat hillary clinton. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you so much, george. >>> now to the democrats after her massive win in south carolina last night, hillary clinton set her sights on the general election. >> despite w

donald trump destroys everything he touches and everything that touches donald trump is destroyed. mike pence's career is over. he just doesn't know i yet. and the conventional wisdom in d.c. might be oh, mike pence will have a lovely chance of being the front-runner in 2020. but the truth of the matter is he is going to be the front-runner in a party that has gutted itself because it accepted donald trump as its leader. >> and maria teresa, doesn't the pence-trump video live forever and mike pence becomes the guy who has to answer what he said about donald trump basically for the rest of his career? >> well, i think that one of the reasons that mike pence actually jumped into the race was because he was so vulnerable as a governor in indiana. and he knew he was going to lose. i do think short of a billionaire that has the exact same attitude of donald trump, it actually doesn't matter if the folks that are right now the base of donald trump actually care about pence. because at the end of the day, the republican establishment is going to put their money and their machine behind so

donald trump's money. >>> and later, a special last word about one of donald trump's new favorite words. pochahantas. >> i'm so honored. >> donald trump has reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the republican nomination. >> unbound, to now bound, i think you're bound, you promise you're bound, everybody. >> i want real party unity. >> i think reince priebus has done a good job. >> president obama talking about how world leaders. >> they're rattled, and for good reason. >> when you rattle someone, that's good. >> this guy is such an [ bleep ]. >> donald trump agreed to debate me and i look forward to that. >> oh, i would love to debate bernie. he is a dream. >> i look forward coming together to unify our party to stop donald trump. >> you have to be wealthy in order to be great. i'm sorry to say it. >> the remarks being made, he is either ignorant of world affairs or a cavalier attitude. >> america first, folks, make america great again. america first, make america great again. >> this is the last word on campaign 2016. >> today, the inevitable became official after the numbe

i'm glad you flag that donald trump tweet. i think a lot of people will have notification -- >> it is how we get instant notification from donald trump these days. halle stand by. i will let you work the phones and your e-mail. i want it turn to mark halperin, cohost of course of bloomberg politics and kari dan is with us from our newsroom. mark, i know you, i know you're working the phones and trying to figure out what is going on with this meeting. what do you know? >> reince priebus spends more more time than reported trying to do with the implications of potentially going to convention with no one having a majority of delegates with no one -- with trump having majority but implications as mentioned earlier sponsorships for the convention. about prospect of a lot of prominent republicans saying they wouldn't vote for the nominee. this is reince priebus's complex life right now and today is one of the few times he ebeen caught in effect having such a discussion. big one with donald trump. but there is serious business to do.

no sidetracks, donald. nice and easy. >> reporter: with days to go until the election, trump is exuding confidence on the stump. >> we're going to win the white house. we will make america great again. >> reporter: but privately, his longtime friend says he had a more realistic view of the outcome. >> you know, he didn't say to he just said, "look, i'm competing everyplace. and i'm hopeful for the best." >> reporter: the morning of the election, trump is booed at his polling place. and the internet has a good laugh when he sneaks a peek at melania's ballot. with polls and pundits uniformly predicting a trump defeat, the clinton campaign is sipping champagne on their plane. their candidate even signing a "newsweek" magazine "madam president" cover. but then, state after state starts falling -- to trump. i heard there was a moment where people started coming up to him and saying president trump, and he was like, ?hold on, not till we know for sure.? >> he's confident, but he's not an arrogant person. and he's

this is a big deal for donald trump. charles: the there was a point on the campaign where i thought donald trump hit him hard. donald trump admitted he was mean to him and he hit him hard. he admitted these things as well it's a testament to ben carson and his christian faith. how much of a difference is this going to make for the rest of the election? >> i think it has both a sober and cerebral endorsement. i think this is huge from the perspective -- people saying evangelicals or parole christians or conservatives can't support donald trump. but add phyllis schlafly and dr. jeffers. i also think that this will sort of earn able people to feel comfortable that these people might be willing to hold donald trump accountable in soft ways perhaps evangelicals have had their doubts in the past about him. charles: dr. carson sounds like he will be more involved. not just a stamp of approval. but maybe a conscience, if you will. eboni, he talked about donald trump being too -- two people. the cerebral donald trump and they had

if we are just going to be dancing with donald trump, we might as well have the donald trump already. >> joe crowley has emerged as a challenger to nancy pelosi for house minority leader while tim ryan said he is officially seeking the job. in the senate, there are 10 income the democrats. some of the states were close contests. partydoes the democratic recovery process stand? >> it could be worse in this sense that they have their poker faces up. decent they have a balance between saying, let's let's the future and mourn. the back of a strong leader or two -- the lack of a strong leader or policy descriptions is a vulnerability for them. once the new government begins, eight will be harder for them to break through because a lot of the attention will be on republicans getting stuff done. >> i always believe a party is dead -- it happened with clinton, and reagan. i think there needs to be a fresh face that comes at some point during the administration. i concerned that the democrats will run far to the left with elizabeth warren and i do not think that is the answer. it is not necess

a picture of donald trump. he says signing a recent tax return next to, as you can see a pile of papers that looks at least three feet high. this started after mitt romney, the 2012 republican nominee, who trump endorsed back then, called on trump and all of the candidates in the race to release their tax returns. romney says that there could be a bombshell hidden in those returns for trump, since trump has resisted releasing his returns to this point. let me bring in right now senator lindsay graham, a former republican presidential candidate. a man who has no love lost with donald trump, as we well now. senator, it's great to see you. >> i think donald trump will be the gold standard for stupid republican candidates. i just want to be on the record for that. >> you are on the record saying that, senator. so to the issue at hand right now. mitt romney says there is reason to believe there could be a bombshell in these returns. what do you know? >> well, i know that he's not going to turn them over, and in 2015

donald trump represents change. hillary clinton certainly does not. >> one thing they're also saying, if you're talking about that, ron, to get you on this, when you look at who is voting for who, the parties are going to their party leaders. 90% of republicans are now supporting -- saying they're now going to support donald trump. republicans are coming home. are you joining them? >> well, you know, i'm in the vote your conscience camp right now. i want to see what donald trump is able to do going forward. i think he has an opportunity to reinvent himself if he chooses to take it. i think the most dramatic thing he can do to shake this race up would be to take some of the bizarre things he's said in the past -- the american people are very forgiving. everybody loves a comeback story. the americans will love a comeback story. if he were to come out and specifically apologize for these bizarre and crazy things he's said that's kept the republican party from being able to come together, certainly republicans, of cours

either donald trump is extreme or he's unsteady. and it's important to stick with that singular kri teague of his foreign policy throughout the campaign. because he has said some very extreme things at the same time he's been all over the map which suggests he'd be an unsteady commander in chief. >> what a pro-clinton super pac is doing using bits of donald trump from howard stern. let's take a look. >> because nobody respects women more than donald trump. ♪ >> she came to my wedding. she ate like a pig and seriously the wedding cake was -- it was like missing in action. >> does she have a good body, no. does she have a fat ass, absolutely. i have no respect for her. i think she's highly overrated but when i came out and, you know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eye, blood coming out of her wherever. >> steve that's not from the clinton war room. that's from a super pac they can't coordinate with but is that helpful? >> i don't know that it's helpful or unhelpful. i suspect that most every american woman in this c

they're endorsing donald trump. i have to tell you, anytime i write or say something negative about donald trump, i am inundated from tweets by twitter feeds supporting donald trump that have nazi symbols and all sorts of racist groups. maybe it's a coincidence that all the white supremacists just happen to be supporting donald trump. i'm not sure. maybe it's a coincidence but it strikes me as sort of telling. >> i'm saying in the course of this questioning people will say the kkk is not endorsing him or what have you. that's not what we're talking about. he can't control whether the kkk endorses him or not but he can control his response to that and say, if you have ties to the kkk, i'm completely not interested in that and don't want your vote. >> thank you. that's it. >> reagan did, by the way. that's exactly what ronald reagan did when it happened to him. >> this is what ted cruz had to say about the kkk and trump. to hugh hewitt. >> you know i joked that there are not many iron rules in politics, but one you ca

position is. >> donald trump supporters are so loyal to donald trump. it's hard to imagine somebody who was thinking about voting for him and has now decided they're not going to because of this. but it does, i think -- i think ted cruz was right. it shows he's not thought through the issue and abortion is such a mine field that he ended up sounding like the way pro-choice people caricature pro-life people. he found himself really twisted into a difficult spot. >> there's been this proliferation of issues that touch on women in many different ways. you have the heidi cruz retweet. you have this question on abortion. and you -- >> corey lewandowski. >> corey lewandowski. if you put them all together, the question is whether you reach a critical mass. when you have people undecided, and there are people who are undecided, who would vote for cruz as opposed to trump. and i think that's what you're seeing in the polils in wisconsin. his gender numbers have flipd. >> karen, you wrote an article about corey lewandowski. does trump benefit? trump has tried to

so this is what they do and now are doing it to donald trump. >> is this a setback for donald trump's campaign, jeffrey? >> no. and the -- ironic thing is, all of these '60s protests led to the election in 1968 of richard nixon. who was, you know, flatly opposed to all of this, and quite vividly so. it led to the election of ronald reagan as governor of california in 1966 when all this turmoil was on california campuses. the kind of thing exactly that will help donald trump. if their objective is to harm him politically, all they're doing is helping him. >> jeremy diamond is also with us out of phoenix, he is at that rally to get underway at any moment there in the fountain hills area of phoenix, and so jeremy, how much do the supporters there know about the gathering of anti-trump protestors, you know, on the road leading into that rally, and now what's also trn pyanspi in new york? >> unless you're checking twitter or watching the news you don't have the a sense of that at all. thousands of trump supporters are gathered here. very little protestors within our field of vision here. c

i'm not anti-donald trump. but i've talked to so many republicans who are afraid of an absolute wipeout with donald trump at the top of the ticket, that i want to be a -- very cautious of bias, which happens in the media, when ted cruz and everybody in wisconsin thought he was winning the nomination. donald trump had a big night tonight. he's got to get another 170 delegates. there's a lot of hand-to-hand delegate combat going on here. but i also think there's going to be a real -- a few weeks here where the republican party says are we going to abandon everything that we have become over the last 30 years, just because donald trump taps into our deep-seeded hostility to the obama administration policies abroad and at home. and secretary clinton's manifest unreadiness to be president. the server controversy, the libya fiasco, egyptian fiasco. it's going to be fascinating. >> hugh, donald trump's problems in wisconsin started on conservative talk radio with charlie sykes, local radio host there. does indiana hav

hillary clinton and donald trump leading the pack. now on a likely collision course in the november election. >> get them out of here, please. >> but will the republican party unite behind their controversial front-runner? or is it a fight all the way to a contested convention? senator bernie sanders holding strong on his home turf. >> it is good to be home! >> but is this delegate tsunami for hillary clinton enough to keep sanders down? >> if you don't want to see donald trump -- to keep trump from the nomination? >> announcer: this special edition of "nightline," "super >> announcer: this is a special edition of "nightline," "super tuesday." >>> good evening. it's the aptly named super tuesday . a rough and tumble night of politics. voters weighing in loud and clear on the biggest night of the primary season. tonight. we begin in texas, where everything is bigger, even its outsize role in politics. ted cruz edging out a victory in his home state, considered a must win to remain viable in this campaign. but the night still belongs to

it is a good morning donald trump, a bad norng to be the word presumptive, just a few hours ago, donald trump shed that moniker, presumptive, and is now the official republican nominee. trump thanked the delegates and touted his running mate in a video speech beamed in from trump tower in new york. >> i'm so proud to be your nominee for president of the united states. i look forward to sharing my thoughts with you on thursday night on how we build a brighter and more hopeful future for all americans. it's an honor to run on a ticket with governor mike pence, who is an incredible man and who will make a great, great vice president. >> all right, the official theme for the evening was, make america work again, but unless your job was to throw hillary clinton in prison, didn't talk as much about jobs as talking about hillary clinton, the delegates chanted, "lock her up" repeatedly. you're seeing it there. senior political reporter maman manu raju joins us now. >> lock her up could be the unofficial theme of this kroengs. this was a big anti-hillary sentiment in the crowd for a second strai

the group of newspapers endorsing donald trump. maybe the waxahachie daily light will pass the coffee. good evening, lawrence. >> you know that wicked long list in the "new york times" today of all the people and things donald trump has attacked on -- >> the double-page spread? >> i'm in there a couple times. the show is in there. "the last word with lawrence o'donnell." you know what it says that donald trump said about the last word? >> what did it say? >> unwatchable. >> badge of honor, my friend. >> you know how he knows it's unwatchable? he's watched the show. >> i have that feeling. >> and tweeted about things on the show. >> he has feelings about you, lawrence. >> yeah, well, he could be watching right now. we don't know. but unwatchable. >> congratulations, my friend. >> thank you, rachel. i'm on the honor roll, i'm very proud. thank you. >> thanks, goodnight. >> well, we will show you that complete list of all the people, places and things that donald trump has insulted on twitter, just since declaring his candidacy for pr

donald trump is a coward. this falls right in line with what we saw him do with, you know, bob mueller. over and over, you know, he would publically and privately undermine mueller. he would not actually fire him because he knew the public wanted mueller to continue his investigation. donald trump knows that the public overwhelmingly wants to listen to dr. fauci, but because donald trump knows that dr. fauci's advice is contrary to what he is telling people, he looks at this just as mary trump describes. how does this affect me? he doesn't think about how it affecting everyone else. so right now the president finds himself in the unusual position of being for confederate monuments and against masks. that is wildly out wide where most americans are. >> gene robinson, it is now as if mary trump is narrating the news. she's doing an accompaniment to the news. she tells us about how donald trump's father would just get rid of people when they weren't helping him, and then donald trump gets rid of his campaign mana

focusey show to women in groups and they say that's donald. someone has to be donald trump. ted cruz are rubio or john kasich. is romney's voice singular in the party? hunt: i don't think anyone in the party really commands that kind of attention the way a eisenhower or reagan would have in the past. whether it is mitt romney or paul ryan. he just hates all of this. donald trump is the antithesis of everything paul ryan believes in. mark: is there a chance that ofney lays out an argument clarity that the other republicans can latch onto? i'm told he's going to talk about temperament a great deal. a legitimate case to be made. mark: ted cruz had the best night of the remaining challengers to donald trump. hunt: you know how many delegates he got out of texas? winning three states was important. not just his home state. rubio, if it had not been for minnesota would've had a miserable night. me they brother said to donald trump was better off with multiple candidates in the race. i'm thinking that could be true. al hunt: that is the only way to stop them. if john kasich dropped

so donald, i would encourage you. if you want to file a lawsuit challenging this ad, claiming it is defamation, file a lawsuit. >> our chief political analyst, gloria borger, is with us you no. she was over there at the cruz conference in seneca, south carolina. gloria, let me play a bit of that ad that cruz is talking about. and then we'll discuss. >> sure. >> i'm ted cruz and i approve this message. >> life, marriage, religious liberty. the second amendment. we're just one supreme court justice away from losing them all. >> would president trump ban partial birth abortion? >> look, i'm very pro choice. >> but you would not ban it. >> no. i am pro choice in every respect. >> we cannot trust donald trump with these serious decisions. >> all right. gloria, the -- cruz went on to say, if there is this lawsuit, he would welcome the fact to depose trump under oath. and he said look what it did for bill clinton when he was under oath. he was making a similar analogy to donald trump right now. a really dramatic escalation i

but donald trump is up in new hampshire, michigan, donald trump leading. wisconsin, donald trump is up three points, 70% remaining. minnesota, clinton has the lead. but right now, she has to win in three states where donald trump is leading. >> and wisconsin, a fairly healthy lead, three points? >> yes. and here's one county that caught my eye. door county, right here, he's got a three-point lead with, i'm sorry. i'm going to get -- door county, he has a lead where barack obama won by double digits in 2008, and by seven points in 2012. it's a place where the median income is $50,000, 96% white, a but suddenly, it's the trump demographic. >> and ohio, that could tell you about some other states. >> if you look at ohio, which looks like it's going to be an eight to ten point victory for donald trump, and extrapolate the voters there. wisconsin, and michigan, and right now, the odds completely states. >> if he wins michigan or wisconsin, either one, he wins. >> terry, you were talking about brexit. >> it's deja vu, the polls and pundits, britain would never l

donald trump is relatively new. when you look at both of them, they both have very high infavorables. we know we don't like hillary clinton, but we just kind of met donald trump on the political side. he's new to us. he's different. >> have you sized him up, so to speak? i have this exclusive interview with louise sunshine. she talks about her perspective, her working experience with hem, that in her words, he respects women that he wanted to see a trajectory for women. he helped her in her ascension. he was a mentor. he was a leader. flip side to that, you hear from other reports from women who've had experience with him who say that, you know, he was classless in many ways and that he was less than a gentleman and he wasn't respectful. have you sized him up or made an assessment about the presumptive republican nominee donald trump and whether you like him as a woman? >> i think i'm waiting to see more of donald trump. as we see more and more of him -- he obviously has had women in his company with very high posit

we're beating donald trump. we're seeing republicans uniting behind our campaign because we're the only candidate that is in a position to beat donald and become the republican nominee. beat him. i have to press this a little if you believe donald trump and his campaign are encouraging violence, how could you support isn't that a line that should not be condoned? crossing that line, shouldn't that not be condoned? >> and i'm not condoning it. i'm encouraging everyone to focus on decency, civility, appealing to our better angels. my focus is on winning. winning the nomination. then on beating hillary clinton and bernie sanders. because let me be clear. hillary clinton would be a disaster for this country. if hillary clinton is the president, we will lose this supreme court for a generation. the second amendment will be effectively erased from the bill of rights. religious liberty will be lost for a generation. and our kids will be drowned in debt. jobs will keep fleeing america. i don't want to see my children's

what donald wants is all of us who are convinced donald is not the right nominee to be splintered. divided. looking at this race, only one candidate that has beaten donald trump. historically, in modern times, no one has won the nomination who hasn't won one of the fist three states. iowa, new hampshire, south carolina. only two of us have done that. me and donald. if you look at super tuesday. we're the only campaign in a position to beat donald on super tuesday. if you're at home and you don't think donald is the right candidate. you think nominating him will end up electing hillary clinton, even if perhaps you like another candidate, listen, there are a lot of good people in the race that i like and respect. i would encourage you to stand with us. the only way to beat donald is to stand together on super tuesday. >> sounds like you're not ready to unite with marco rubio. thank you for joining us this morning. >>> and we're live next with chris christie in a "this week" exclusive. don't even think about it. cough if you can hear me. i took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. yeah...

do you agree with donald trump? >> i think everything we do as humans impacts where we live and the environment we live in. to what extent it has -- >> it's a very important question. >> sure. to what extent it has an impact and i think we have seen in this administration in particular an overreach and that's why we have these out of control regulations and why industry and jobs have been at a standstill. we are seeing those increases because getting regulations off the backs because people overreacted to something science quite frankly has not backed up. >> you don't think science backs up climate change? >> i don't know the specifics. i'm saying overreach of the regulations is not backed up by the science. >> one of the biggest employers in arkansas is walmart. clearly a trade policy with china is very important to your state. donald trump has discussed pushing a 35% tariff on companies who ship jobs overseas when they want to bring their products back in. he's discussed a 45% tariff on chinese goods coming into t

after being introduced, she took a shot at the republican front-runner, donald trump. >> donald trump and hillary clinton are two sides of the same coin. they are both liberal, we know that. but, hillary clinton, like so many politicians, she has made her millions selling access and influence from inside the system. and donald trump has made his billions buying people like hillary clinton. mark: so what does donald trump himself think of this pick? he gave a window into his thinking this morning, more than nine hours before cruz made the formal announcement, as rumors swirled. hisbillionaire was making sleepy voice victory lap into some morning shows and reacted to the possibility of fiorina, on "good morning america." >> i think it would be a bad choice. i mean, she did not resonate, not because she is a woman but carly did not resonate at all with the people. she will not do the trick. i like her and she is a nice person, that she never resonated. she did not do well. she was very low in the polls and by the end she was an insignificant player. bring carly back it is ok but that is

donald trump has landed, looking at life pictures across the street of donald trump's helicopter, by his the p choice and his son donald junior and other supporters. >> we saw congressman pete king. trish: a lot has been said about family members, really incredible speech by donald trump junior last night. trish: i hope the dad find the for speech lessons, very disciplined well delivered speech. trish: if you were a coach in trump's campaign what would be your biggest pieces of advice while still maintaining who he is? >> not to me to give advice but you have 108 days, but until now and november people need to be reminded of the necessity for change blues not necessarily a slogan but need to have this litigated and described and explained why we need chan a she stands represents change so needs to describe the change to the american people, he has to deliver it in a tone that wraps it up. it has to be an optimistic tone. and what hillary has done -- and mac the optimism, make america great again. i promise you will be so proud. >> has the ability to do it but this has to be a tonal t
