i don't know how many conservative voters will say ted cruz washington insider when the constant washington insiders bob dole and trent lott and others are saying we don't like ted cruz, we can't stand him, we won't vote for him. you can't have it both ways. i think the difference between trump and cruz is this. they both have set it up this year to put the establishment flat on its back. the twoun tag team of trump and cruz. however, one is talking about taking on the washington accomplishme establishment and one's gone there and done it. >> but why change your tactics if you're winning? why would donald trump change and give specifics about things or change his campaigning when he's winning? >> he won't. >> kellyanne, i've got to disagree with you because this collection it's not about who's more conservative, which is what we typically see in a primary. this election is about who is more of an outsider. and for donald trump that means going after ted cruz and saying ted cruz took wall street money. i agree with you ted cruz is a great candidate, we'd be lucky to have him, he's the second

they want something different to happen in washington, d.c. they are tired of the same old business being led by the same old people. and bernie represents something new. he represents a revolution that's going to adjust how business is being done in washington, d.c. and you can see that revolution taking place even in some of the remarks that hillary clinton is talking about. now she's beginning to talk about those issues that bernie has been talking about everywhere. not only in a black state of south carolina, not in harlem, but bernie sanders has been talking about that in iowa, in new hampshire. so he's been talking about those issues that are relative to the african-american community from the very beginning. >> we'll see if the young voters show up at the polls today. maria, let me come to you. does this expectation that hillary clinton will win by a large margin hurt her potentially, maybe some of the voters who were -- might have been excite philadelphia this were a much tight erase might stay home and this margin will be narrower? >>

the message is they are getting tired of washington and business as usual. and then not getting it. that's why i don't think a lot of this negativity will stick. >> i think it other message is that old ceiling may not be a ceiling any more. you don't want to miss our special coverage of super tuesday. we have a special making money for you. we have the primary coverage as it comes in. again we start here at 6:00 p.m. tomorrow and we go to 7:00 with lou dobbs. the war between marco rubio and donald trump is heating up. we are a pro and con on who's winning that one next. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture every day. choose, choose, choose. but at beedtime? why settle for this? enter sleep number and the ultimate sleep number event, going on now. sleepiq technology tells you how well you slept and what adjustments you can make. you like the bed soft. he's more hardcore. so your sleep

we're coming up on super tuesday. >> here's what donald trump is doing. >> washington times on monday. >> at the end of identity politics, you see the subgroup. trump is winning all them without specifically targeting them or pandering to a group. it's a message to americans as a whole. that's how republicans can win as well. all of our futures are tied to national security and the economy and honesty. then we all win. that is one of the benefits the machine can take from this to end this dynamic. it becomes naturally diverse. >> hogan, how much help does chris christie bring with him in his endorsement of donald trump? governor christie, one of the stars, if not the star, of the republican establishment. >> right. i think he brings some credibility to the trump campaign from the establishment side. i don't know that it necessarily helps him throughout the south. i wouldn't say he's the most pop y popular governor in the south. he wanted an outsider to go in and try to change things. the governor is saying i want someone who will go from the outside and shake things up. that's what th

in this campaign, you've heard a lot about washington and about wall street. now, senator sanders and i both want to get secret unaccountable money out of politics, and let's remember, let's remember, citizens united, one of the worst supreme court decisions in our country's history, was actually a case about a right-wing attack on me and my campaign. a right-wing organization took aim at me and ended up damaging our entire democracy. so, yes, you're not going to find anybody more committed to aggressive campaign finance reform than me. we also agree -- we also agree that wall street can never be allowed to once again threaten main street, and i will fight to rein in wall street, and you know what, i know how to do it. so when i tell you no bank could be too big to fail and no executive too powerful to jail, you can count on it. now, the real differences in this race are truly over how do we create a future of prosperity, opportunity, and security for all of us? we need to build a growth and fairness economy with higher wages and more good-paying jobs includin

it's washington, d.c.'s game of kicking the can, and your kids are going to be it. >> that's it for "the lead." i'm jake tapper. tune in sunday morning for state of the union. the guests, jeb bush and marco rubio. turning you over to brianna keilar in "the situation room." >>> happening now, natural-born lawsuit. donald trump threatens to sue ted cruz over his citizenship if it rival doesn't clean up his act and stop running negative ads. trump is trying to clean up his own act by cutting down on vug garts. will he watch his mouth in his next event? we're standsing by. >>> embracing obama. one ran against him, the other has criticized him, but they're seeing who can hug the president more tightly. >>> machete attack. four people are wounded and a suspect is dead after a terrifying rampage in an ohio deli of was this a case of lone wolf

peter barnes in washington with the story now. peter, good morning. reporter: good morning, maria. state department investigators issued a subpoena to the clinton foundation last fall seeking documents about the charity's projects that may have required approval from the federal government during hillary clinton's term as secretary of state. the full scope and status of the probe being conducted by the department's inspector general is not clear but a foundation spokesperson confirms the subpoena, which also covers one of her top aides huma abedin. that supports previous fox news reporting that the investigation into clinton is on two tracks now. one on possible violations of federal secrecy laws with her use of private email which is being investigated by the fbi, and one on possible public corruption, possible influence-peddling or trading favors for donations. now a government official also says that more than two dozen email accounts handled top secret classified information found on mrs. clinton's unsecured server and there is no evidence they were authorized to receive it. ye

wolf blitzer, back to you in washington. >> it's amazing how close it's been among the democrats. almost all of the votes now in -- what, 49.9% for hillary clinton. 49.6% for bernie sanders. i want to go back to jeff zeleny quickly. jeff, you're there with one of bernie sanders' top advisers. >> wolf, that's right. i'm joined by jeff weaver, the campaign manager for senator sanders. jeff, what do you make of what is still remaining out there? and are you satisfied with all the information you've gotten about this? >> well, look, there's still some of the vote out. it's very, very tight. who knows whether one of us or the other will be a couple delegates up or a couple delegates down? but this is a tremendous victory for our campaign tonight. we started in single digits and fought our way up to a tie and maybe a win. so this is really going to be a springboard for us into new hampshire and the states beyond. >> what do you think is the fund-raising possibility of this night? senator sanders raised $20 million in january online. what's your estimate of what this will do? >> well, it

anderson back to you in washington. >> we'll see more people turning out in the last few hours. what do you think -- >> why are you smiling? >> it's not just because i work for ted cruz. i feel like we finally found a conservative who can win. look at what ted cruz faced in this election. not only was he competing with donald trump. on his birther issue, on his evangelical faith. he was being attacked fiercely by the republican party. you had all of these gop king makers of the past saying he could never win. don't he did it. i don't think this is a win for ted cruz, this is a conservative product, they sought a leader who can stand for conservative principal, this may be the beginning of something much bigger, this is a great night for conservatives. >> how concerned were you when you heard there was record turnout on the gop side. all night long, so many people have been saying record turnout is going to break in donald trump's favor. hillary clinton 49.9%. bernie sanders 49.4%. with 84% of the vote now. so that race is tightening, it is still anybody's race. an extraordinary

joining me from washington, our cnn political director, mr. david chalian, and cnn's chief political analyst who you will see also until the wee hours tonight, gloria borger. so great to have both of you on. david chalian, to you first, what are the top three things you will be watching for? >> well, start, brooke, with what you just read there in your intro, which is independents. i believe that -- one of the first things i'll look at is to see how independents split here. in our last tracking poll, they were splitting between the two parties. they can choose to play in either the republican or the democratic party. which one do they choose to play in and how does that affect the trump and sanders vote totals? those are the candidates that have been drawing from the independents. so that is the first thing i'm watching for. i'm also watching for what the voters tell us they're looking for. this is the head versus heart argument. i want to see, are new hampshire voters coming out tonight to back the person they think has the best chance of win

that's the reason he has few friends in washington. he's finding fewer and fewer on the trail. >> not in iowa. he road his few friends all the way to victory in the iowa caucuses. guys j stand by. we have a lot more to talk about. >> including fireworks. the super scary kind that can erupt in your face like is happening to marco rubio. you'll hear from chris christie is happening and what happened when a big name rubio supporter was asked to name the senator's accomplishments. >> a super scary kind of fireworks. >> the booming ones that come at you. >> and sanders needs to make enroads with the minority voters. we'll have the client team to respond to his new endorsement. we said goodbye the day. and to the city. and drifted off into the twilight. and when we woke, we found that the whole world had reinvented itself. sail with princess cruises the best cruise line in europe. princess cruises. come back new. that's why i switched from u-verse to xfinity. now i can download my dvr recordings and take them anywhere. ready or not, here i c

there is not a joke that changes. >> i spent most of last week in washington, d.c. so it is great to be back in america. >> what it changes is our application, our ability to track crowd for hip. reporter: big data tells him where cruz should campaign. >> it's impossible for me to send him to the wrong congressional district in tennessee. i would have to overwrite so many systems to send him to the wrong town with the data an lit i cans. data has turned the campaign on its head. john: the romney campaign had data, too, with you they barely used it. >> they asked one senior strategist, what did you do with that data? he said they didn't use it in what they were doing. it was like buying a brand-new car and not driving it. obama won because he was essentially you be opposed. he scored a touchdown and the other field wasn't on -- other team wasn't on the field. not you republicans are deciding to participate there. now we are dominating digital media. >> 50 years ago republicans won the senate. the way we are campaigning this cycle it will be exponentially greater in t

money and the stamina and the fact that you have ted cruz who is not liked by the establishment in washington. you have donald trump who if you add them both together you have over 50% of the vote. not liked by them. how much money do you think goes to marco rubio after today? >> well, i think that is the big decision that establishment candidates or the establishment part of the republican party, the centrist part, if you will, however you want to call it, they have to make a decision if they really want to put their power behind somebody like marco rubio. because if not, then, you know, we're sitting here talking about scenarios for ted cruz to go on longer. for marco rubio to go on longer. i talked about how donald trump is leading in every single other poll and every single other state outside of iowa. that is why those kinds of scenarios, if people don't start getting out and getting out fast and consolidating behind one or two candidates other than trump, i still think trump can actually trump everybody else moving forward. >> and when we come back we'll talk about much more in a second

call now. >>> hello, i'm wolf blitzer in washington. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world, wherever you're watching, thank you very much for joining us. we start in new hampshire where the presidential candidates here in the united states are making their final push to the voters just one day before that state's first in the nation primary. hillary clinton and vermont senator bernie sanders are on the campaign trail. sanders tempering expectations with a big lead in the polls. former president bill in

narrator's voice. >> there are worst kind of washington insiders. ted cruz has been there for four years, she a senator. by definition, a kind of washington insider but does want to blow the place up. so i'm not -- >> too routinely. >> yeah. so this is so against cruz's brand, i'm not sure it's effective, but there's a political school of thought. hit someone at his point of strength and that's what this ad tries to do. >> but have it come from rubio, you know, here's another first-term senator. a washington insider. sort of creates -- it's a bizarre construction for me. is that what you're suggesting? >> well, look, trump compared to cruz, trump is a washington outsider. the politicians that trump has bought off tend to be more local that can help with his crony construction projects. so he's not a political outsider ith but he's at least a washington outsider. >> to come to his wedding. remember that? he has to buy his friends? a. tough race? apparently he owned her at one point. >> yes. it seems, i don't know if you agree with me, rich, the ultim
