he went to the march on washington. i remember watching that on television when i was in i believe the fifth grade. that's how long bernie's commitment to civil rights has been and to social justice. >> so you were young. he was a smidge older. point being, this has been a thread through his lose. for you, mark lamont hill, especially when you look at the numbers aamerican african-american voters in south carolina, why do you think he's not polling higher? >> i think there are a few reasons. the clintons have a very strong connection to african-american communities. despite the fact that bill clinton undermined black prosperity during the '90s. many black people still consider him the original first black president. because of that, they feel connected to the clintons as a proxy. one where we can be somewhat critical of bernie sanders. early on, bernie sanders responded to calls from black lives matter movement by saying, hey, i marched with king. or hey, my economic justice program will lead to racial justice. in a sen

i think there is a lot of hand ringing in washington. the reality is much of washington brought this on. people are very mad at the leadership. i think in both parties frankly. but trump has had the benefit of having such a crowded field, it's disburpersed a lot of the i think the angryist voices have gone towards him. as long as his field stays as large as it is, that i a benefit to trump. >> washington is a little irked some people aren't dropping to perhaps coalesce behind one. alex, to you, sir, great piece with maggie and jonathan in "the times." in your reporting, you mention senate majority leader mitch mcconnell laying out the plan that would have lawmakers break with trump in a general election? tell me about that. >> what they're envisioning now is a scenario where they're struck with trump and it becomes very clear maybe even before the convention in july that he's a nonstarter and he's going to lose badly. what that means is you have a number of vulnerable republican senators up for re-election who suddenly have to choose do

in front of the big map there in washington. coming up, donald trump calling for a new election in iowa, accusing ted cruz of fraud. moments ago ted cruz responding to that. we'll hear from him, ahead. it's a fact. kind of like bill splitting equals nitpicking. but i only had a salad. it was a buffalo chicken salad. salad. you stay up. you listen. you laugh. you worry. you do whatever it takes to take care of your family. and when it's time to plan for your family's future, we're here for you. we're legalzoom, and for over 10 years we've helped families just like yours with wills and living trusts. so when you're ready, start with us. doing the right thing has never been easier. legalzoom. legal help is here. ♪ light piano today i saw a giant. it had no arms, but it welcomed me.

that's what we'll see in washington. get everyone together and do things differently. and obamacare's gone with mr. trump. >> i get it, a businessman, not a politician. what we've heard time and time again from team trump. we'll see if it turns into votes at the caucuses tonight in iowa. jeff dewitt, thank you. we're waiting to see donald trump speak to his final pitch to caucusgoers. sarah palin teeing up mr. trump. what are the top three things we should all be watching for this evening? you know what, i have found the best man to answer that. cnn's political director david chaleon is joining meg with that. as we're watching and waiting for trump, let's begin with him, david what are you looking for him tonight? >> this is a question you raised just a couple moments ago. i think it is the question in the last eight months since he got into this race. can he translate huge crowds, leads in the polls, to voters showing up to commit to him when he's not there to be the draw? that to me is a critical question we are going to get answered tonight. i think the answer to it

cnn senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny is with us. traveling with the bernie sanders campaign in nevada. let's just get reaction first from the sanders camp. this is key. and sanders really needs the minority vote. >> there's no doubt about it, poppy. the sanders campaign would have been happy to have this endorsement. but they were not expecting it. jim clyburn is an esteemed member of congress which also puts him in the establishment cam and bernie sanders is running against the establishment so, you know, the advisers on the sanders campaign say look, they certainly respect the congressman, but they believe endorsements aren't what's driving this election. and they may be right, i mean, i remember so well in 2008 where james clyburn declined to get into this race at all. it created such internal fight in the clinton campaign. bill clinton called the morning after the south carolina primary, screaming at james clybu clyburn. he writes about it in his book that came out a couple years ago and said, you know, he accused him of tipping

also with us, todd gillman, the washington burreau chief for th dallas morning news. this back and forth over donald trump's taxes, where the main aggressor is one willard mitt romney, the 2012 republican nominee. i suppose there are two questions. you've been on the record with us saying you think at some point donald trump will be vetted more than he has in the past and this may be one of those areas that will take place in. be that as it may, is willard mitt romney the right messenger for this attack? >> it certainly does show he is the embodiment of the establishment. for him to compae out, i think it's unprecedented to come out like this. but where's his evidence? what does he know that we don't know? interesting to hear. >> impressive for the man who was the republican nominee. i should note that donald trump announced mitt romney four years ago and in case anyone forgets, mitt romney went hat in hand to trump towers to essentially beg for that endorsement. >> we will eventually see his tax return but we will not see him in march. >> all right, amanda carpenter,

the march on washington. the march from selma to montgomery and correct edirecte voter education project for six years. but i met hillary clinton. i met president clinton. >> he says he never saw bernie sanders. but he, you know, you heard what he just said at the end there. does she use that tonight? >> i don't know she has to use it. it's such a powerful moment for her without her touching it. sort of speaks for herself. that is, you know, john lewis is total stalwart of the civil rights movement, he's got tons of credibility on this issue obviously, and if he is saying i never saw this guy, i never met bernie sanders, which isn't to say bernie sanders did not fight for civil rights in his own way at the university of chicago or at the march on washington, but if john lewis is sort of dissing sanders and saying, hey, let's be honest here, and by the way, i really did know the clintons, that is damning in and of itself. bernie sanders, african-american supporters of his own. but that is an ad right there in

it's not going to do anything to solve the problems we have in washington, d.c., fixing broken systems. jeb bush plans to do all that. i think there's a real contrast you're going to see between jeb bush in south carolina and trump and the other candidates. the man who's ready to be commander in chief. i mean, you know, trump seems to have become the republican michael moore and i'm not sure that's going to play well in being is is being when we have a significant veterans population. people are really looking closely to see who can sit behind the desk in the oval office and fix the problems that face us. and the reason jeb bush is such a credible candidate is because he has done it in florida. that's why his record's important. that's why experience is important. you can make a lot of promises but you've got to be able to achieve things. and he's got not only the panels to fix these problems and really break apart these industrial age -- >> back on president obabush, w we see him tonight, does he directly address these attacks being thrown out over and over from mr. trump? >> well, if

let's go straight to our chief political analyst gloria borger in washington. so it is officially official, you know, from the scene of iowa, hillary clinton got it, closest of all calls there. your response in terms of how she takes it moves forward? >> she's happier to win than not win, no matter by how small a margin. however, there's a lot of concerns you have to have if you're in the clinton campaign coming out of this small margin of victory. you know, when you look at entrance polls ewere talking about into wee hours last night a few things pop out at me. one is the fact that bernie sanders continued to get those younger voters, including younger women voters. the questions of trust that seem to plague her, and most importantly, i think, this question of who is the candidate that best understands my needs, right? and bernie sanders, by 3-1 margin, beats her on that. and so, i think as you look towards new hampshire, i think she's got to warm herself up a little bit that way in order to compete with him on those issues that really go go to your kind of co

one it's the anger and frustration at washington. and two the person you are seeing on tv that seems to be as mad as you are the most is donald trump. and that's the reason why he has continued the success. >> tara you want to get in there? >> i absolutely do. as a trump supporter, we have been called angry by the media. and i just did this same thing. it's not the fact that we walk around being angry people. it's not the fact that the fact we walk around being uneducated people. we are very educated and some of the smartest folks that i know didn't get a college degree. the fact of the matter is we finally have a voice. we have been a silent majority for so long in this country, donald trump is giving us a voice. we are not standing out in the street poppy, streaming at the top of our lungs that we're miss pissed off and we're not going to take it anymore. we are simply saying washington needs a choke hold on sit he have. -- on it set. et cetera a out of control. >> tara let me follow that up with this question for you. donald trump

he joins me from washington. welcome. >> thank you so much. yes, it's a big surprise to me, voters, my friends down here, bernie sanders does matter. >> you followed him for a couple of years. little did you know perhaps he would have such the following leading into this presidential nomination contest. let me begin with one point you make in your book. questioning what kind of socialist he is. you liken him more to donald trump than fellow democrats. tell me why. >> he's more a populist in american history than he is a socialist. i think of teddy roosevelt. i think of la guardia. they always championed the little guy against the wealthy. it was teddy roosevelt who was the big bank buster at the turn of the century. as weird as it might seem, donald trump is also somewhat of a populist. sanders is wealthy. trump says the little guy is getting pushed around too much by, i don't know, immigrants, not getting a fair shake. it's the not getting a fair shake that brings then together. >> what about beshy sanders in the '50s and 60s. he was talking

he's represented conservative values in texas and washington, d.c. i think now especially with the passing of justice scalia, we need someone that understands our constitution, that supported our constitution, that doesn't have this record that liberals can point at and say, hey this doesn't jive with what you're saying now. we need someone who's going to stand by our principles and stand by what the republican party represents. and the good of conservativism. >> krystal heath, jeff dewit, thank you. >>> the five remaining republican candidates will meet head to head in the next gop debate this thursday in houston. wolf blitzer moderates the cnn gop presidential debate beginning at 8:30 thursday night only on cnn. >>> up next on this monday, the democrats turning their focus to south carolina. can bernie sanders slow down hillary clinton's momentum as they head into their first big test in the south? >>> plus, the uber driver accused of going on a killing spree in kalamazoo, michigan, is making his first court appearance. we're going to have a live r

during the constitutional convention, george washington was 55. i heard that this week and i thought, my gosh, you have wasted your life. you have wasted so much time in your -- george washington, 55, was a man that was so honorable that people would just sit no matter the disagreement between themselves, they would sit together because he was in the room. >> i should point out, full disclosure, that is your boss. >> it is indeed. >> that said, you know, how does donald trump play to that same kind of crowd? >> i think what donald hasn't really proven yet and what actually most of the polls show he will have a lot of difficulty with are real conservatives. he's built this sort of coalition that includes independents, people that are new to voting, people that even might have been democrats in the past, as well as the segment of disaffected generally speaking lower middle class white males. that's kind of the trump coalition. it's not people who are conservatives in the deep south, in places like south carolina, and so i think someone like ted cruz

brianna keilar in las vegas, also marissa rosenberg, a culture columnist for "the washington post" and a supporter of clinton. bri, let me begin with you. inch nevada, a very different electorate. we saw how the polls changed in the past few months. what's she doing on the trail to get those votes? >> this is a more diverse state, mainly due to a sizable hispanic majority which hillary clinton does pretty well with. from the get-go, coming out here last spring, for her first campaign event in nevada, she focused very much on immigration. we're seeing that today with a new ad she's out with airing here in nevada. where she's talking about the fear of deportations. here's part of it. >> my parents, they have a letter of deportation. i'm scared for them because they might be deported. >> come here. [ applause ] i'm going to do everything i can so you don't have to be scared. >> that was an event that happened here in nevada last weekend. you also see bernie sanders trying to cut into hillary clinton's support with hispanic voters. talking about how he in favor of a pathway to citizenship

we're going to take you to washington now. "the lead" with jake tapper starts right now. >> thanks, brooke. he's looking more like a politician today and less like -- well, less like donald trump. "the lead" starts right now. recalculating. republican front-runner donald trump making some tweets after his second place finish in iowa. he's pounding the pavement instead of his opponents in new hampshire today. >>> hillary clinton and bernie sanders both of them circling left like they're on a nascar track as they battle over who's the real progressive. but did clinton stumble on the $675,000 question last night? >>> plus, an nfl star's death that may help save the lives of future players. our dr. sanjay gupta gives us a look at your

in the meantime we send it to washington. "the lead with jake tapper" starts right now. >> thanks, brooke. i'm back from new hampshire. as donald trump might say, there was so much winning going on. "the lead" starts right now. there will be blood. donald trump moves on to south carolina with ted cruz in his cross-hairs. if you thought the race was chaotic and ugly before, wait until you see the tv ads running today. >>> going national. bernie sanders getting a huge fund-raising bump after his blowout win in new hampshire. can he break through in friendly territory for hillary clinton? >>> determined to attack. the top u.s. security official warning isis could strike inside the u.s. this year. and we may not see the terrorists coming.

"washington post," i have to tell you, i have respect for jeff bezos but he bought "the washington post" to have political influence and i got to tell you, we have a different country then we used to have. he owns amazon. he wants political influence so that amazon will benefit from it. that's not right. and believe me, if i become president, oh, do they have problems. they're going to have such problems. one of the things i'm going to do, and this is only going to make it tougher for me, and i've never said this before, but one of the things i'm going to do if i win, and i hope we do and we're certainly leading. i'm going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and mohorrib and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money. we're going to open up those libel laws. so when "the new york times" writes a hit piece which is a total disgrace or when the "washington post" which is there for other reasons writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money instead of having no chance of winning because they're totally protected. you see, with me, they're not prot

then of course she's transitioned to her time in washington in the 1990s, where she worked to create fundamentally the children's health insurance program which was a significant bridge between medicare in 1965 and the affordable care act. the chip program has helped many african-american families. even during her time as a united states senator from here in new york, she co-sponsored legislation to deal with racial profiling in the criminal justice system, sentencing reform. she helped to deal with the despaisparity -- >> you can keep going, it's an impressive resume. the thing is, i've been at these bernie sanders rallies. these young people, they don't care. they don't care. a lot of them like bernie sanders. a number of african-americans. although when you look at the polls, she seems to really have it in south carolina. specifically, looking ahead, what does she need to do to take sanders supporters and say no, i'm the one who has your back? >> first, i think the fact that bernie sanders has run such a robust campaign is good for the party and will make hillary clinton a stronge

that got frankly misquoted by "the washington times" and circulated. it was ultimately corrected. >> then that is -- that is my fault, i apologize. i apologize. i'm glad you corrected us. i do want your take on this before i let you go in the minute i have. the latest cnn/orc poll shows bernie sanders 65% to 28%. you've got hillary clinton 65% to bernie sanders 28% in south carolina among democratic primary goers. how do you turn that around? >> you know, there have been polls that have also shown that the gap is just 20 points. people are working very hard on the ground and quite frankly those polls tend to not count a lot of working people who for instance don't have land lines at home. you get a richer set of voters. so we'll see what happens. if people are organizing and you see folks switching every day. >> you definitely do. it's going to be an exciting one to watch as every state has been. ben jealous, please join us again. i wish we had more time. >> thank you. >> thank you for coming on. that will do it for us this hour. thanks for joining me

bush also vowed to change washington. but he's also putting the blame on republicans especially with this supreme court nomination. a question of will you give this nominee a hearing? that's going to put republicans on the defensive. but at the same time, don, i don't see the republicans caving. now, will the democrats say, well, the president won't sign spending bills unless you give him this nominee. that, will they raise the stakes to that degree? we'll see later this year, but i don't see republicans caving any time soon and i think republicans might say, listen, we might lose the senate over this, but this is more important to prevent obama from shifting this court. >> i appreciate all of you coming on tonight. gloria borger working hard in the field. all the guys, lazy in the studio sucking up the air-conditioning or the heat. gloria, thank you very much. >> come on down. it's fun. >> thank you, guys. see you soon. >>> when we come right back, hillary clinton on the trail in harlem. will african-american voters be t

today he was in washington, d.c. and so that is a newsworthy story -- >> actually, i was on the air -- right, i was actually on the air, and what we reported is that he was going down to florida, and then actually, we followed up with a statement from his campaign saying he was going down to florida because he needed a change of clothes. that might sound ridiculous, but that's what we reported. >> yeah, okay, well, i don't -- a change of clothes, i don't -- well, chris moody had also said r&r, which i took to mean rest and relaxation. we never disputed the cnn reporting -- >> we also reported that he was going to speak at the national prayer breakfast. >> right, and we -- right. so he went to the national prayer breakfast. the whole point is, in the political world, this is playoffs. this is it. nothing else. skipping the playoffs and expecting to go to the super bowl is just -- it doesn't make sense. so that -- so dr. carson made a strategic decision that he wanted to go to florida instead of new hampshire. that tel

she joins us from washington. what are the latest details? >> reporter: we know justice scalia went to texas on friday for a hunting trip at a secluded rezorts. he had dinner on friday night. the ranch owner had been speaking to reporters and said scalia was entertaining and engaged throughout the dinner. around 9:00 p.m. he said he had a long week and wanted to get a good sleep. a separate source tells evan perez that scalia said he wasn't feeling well on friday. the next day the range owner checked on scalia because he didn't show up for breakfast and lunch and found him in bed lying in repose. the sheets weren't wrinkled, no signs of foul play. it appears he died in his sleep of natural causes and the family has reportedly requested for him not to have an autopsy. >> in terms of political fallout, a fight brewing over the successor between the white house and republicans. any timetable as to how it could play out? >> likely it will be within the next month we'll hear about a nomination based on previous nominations coming from president ob

on the march in washington. but his activity was in the north clearly so it's not surprising in a movement with hundreds of thousands, millions of people involved that two individuals did not meet one another. >> what do you expect to happen at tonight's debate? it was increasingly tense between sanders and clinton. there's obviously tension between the campaigns. stakes are getting higher by the day. secretary clinton took a drubbing in new hampshire. how do you expect things to play out tonight? >> i think senator sanders is going to keep doing what he has to do. obviously the voters in new hampshire responded as did the voters in iowa. we have a rigged economy held up by a corrupt system of campaign finance. that has to change. >> we'll not see a new bernie sanders on the stage tonight. bill press was saying senator sanders has been saying the same stuff for 40-plus years. we're going to hear that tonight, you think? >> senator sanders has consistently stood up against injustice, whether it's economic or raci

the senate meets in washington. you are hardly an outsider. it's a bit disingenuous for a sitting u.s. senator to paint themselves as washington outsiders. >> well, look. this has become one of the memes this year. are you part of the establishment,oon outsider? these terms have lost any meaning. they've become epithets thrown around at people you don't like. but regarding jeb bush's attacks on rubio, i find it really kind of sad because i have long been a jeb bush fan. and i wish that he were more -- that the voters were more receptive to him, but they're not. he has the worst standing of any republican in the field with general election voters with the exception of donald trump. and it's a shame that bush is deciding at this stage, having seen the abysmal results he achieved to return with such foracity on his former friend and ally marco rubio rather than use the techniques that he used in his very inspirational announcement speech for example, which was the best of jeb bush. and now we're seeing the gutter politician. not a good way to end

in washington, d.c. on the campaign trail going into the final weekend before super tuesday. getting ready for round three. round one was the debate last night with rubio launching his first trump-style attack. today came a bunch of insults. >> a nervous basket case. here's a guy -- you ought to see him backstage. he was putting on makeup with a trowel. i don't want to say that. i will not say that he was trying to cover up his ears. >> what does donald do? he takes to twitter. i'll read some. you'll have fun. number one, here's the first one. lightweight marco rubio was working hard last night. this is true. the problem is, he is a "chocker." and once a "chocker" always a "choker" i guess is what he meant to spell. >> when they put marco on to refute president obama's speech, do you remember that catastrophe? and he's like this. and we will -- i need water. help me. >> next tweet, leet weight marco rubio looks like a little boy on stage. not presidential material. he meant to say lightweight but spelled it l-e-i-g-h-t. >> he's a choker and all of a sudden, he's being drained

. >> well, you know, we're certainly in a political era now with gridlock in washington where the art of political compromise i think unfortunately has been lost. i do think that the president has to be someone, he or she has to be someone who is an effective negotiator with a good temperament. he or she will have their finger on the nuclear button. and whether or not trump is that person is something not only iowa caucusgoers have to pay attention to but voters in the general election. >> tim o'brien, appreciate you being with us. >> thanks, anderson. >> i want to get the panel's take on this. donald trump has repeatedly said as president, you know, i'll modify myself, i'll change a little bit, i won't be quite so aggressive in my personality. do you think voters believe that? and do you think voters want that? >> sure, i think they believe it. you know, he has built, with all due respect to this gentleman, he has built this enormous business organization, which beyond doubt is successful. can you go through and cher write-pick a failure here or there? sure. of course. you can do tha

tom foreman, cnn, washington. >>> so what is the campaign's take on this? joining me now is bernie sanders campaign manager. jeff weaver. we appreciate you taking the questions. i want to give you a chance to respond to this. is that senator sanders in this photo? we're going to show it again at the sit-in chicago in 1962? >> today the photographer of that photo and another photo which is also bernie with the university president which is featured in our advertising came forward and said he took the foe itos and that is in fact bernie sanders in those photos. >> so the campaign confident despite the fact you have this research done that showed a different name in the caption that this is indeed him? >> i think there was some confusion at one point by some relatives of somebody else. but the photographer himself, who took the actual picture said that is bernie sanders. i was there. he named other people in the room. we're 100% confident given that that that is him. >> you stand by the ad. i want to ask you about another topic. this is something that senator

also cnn political commentator and washington correspondent for the new yorker, ryan lizza. this idea trump could be unstoppable based on not only momentum but math. how much stock do you put in there? >> a lot. we've been grading marco rubio on a curve since iowa, right? he has to consolidate the anti-trump vote and he has to consolidate the republican establishment around him and the donor class and do it basically yesterday. time is running out. in between now and super tuesday is likely to be another trump victory in nevada. bottom line as john pointed out. if you aren't winning, you aren't winning. the most important thing is if cruz can pick up florida and ohio, then he has a shot. then the momentum can change. it's going to be hard for him to pick up ohio if kasich is in the race. frankly, rubio's path is through john kasich. with kasich in the race, it's very, very hard to see how he catches trump. >> maggie, as long as -- to ryan's point, as long as kasich is in the race but also cruz is in the race. the vote is divided. >> the vote is divided although i've been ske

the republicans are going after her because they know she will not only be effective in washington but she's our best chance to make sure that the white house stays in democratic hands. >> but that's bernie sanders saying it's very serious today. i know what he said about not caring about the e-mails but today she is saying it's very serious. do you think this is very serious? >> well, i will let senator sanders answer for himself. i was out this weekend here in iowa. we have been having events all week with thousands of people. this doesn't come up. what the voters here care about is affording health care. affording college. affording child care so i'm not hearing about it from the voters here. i think they take a lot of other issues much more seriously. >> i appreciate you being on. thank you very much. coming up in the next hour we'll talk to bernie sanders campaign manager. just ahead how the top republicans spent their day in iowa. all three campaigns in overdrive knocking on doors, making thousands of calls. doing everything they can to nail down votes. we go inside. could protec

they don't trust people in washington. and you need to overcome that, you need a track record. ted's track record goes back to when he was a teenager memorizing the constitution and making his way around texas teaching people about it through being the solicitor general, winning awards as the texas solicitor general that democrats supported him for what a good job he did defending the constitution. and then moving on to the senate and continuing that as the only consistent conservative in this race. >> if your candidate doesn't win texas, is that it for him? >> obviously, a home state is absolutely critical. we're not going to make any bones about that. you have to win your home state. really to have a viable path forward. and right now, with ted's popularity in texas, we see him heading to -- cruzing, in his case, to a victory. he's visited more time than any other candidate in the super tuesday states. we have more cash on hand than all the other campaigns combined. so we're prepared for that next week's worth of battles in all of these states as the race goes from one state

they know she will not only be effective in washington, but she's our best chance to make sure that the white house stays in democratic hands. >> the question is do you believe -- that's bernie sanders saying it's very serious today. do you think this is very serious? >> i'll let senator sanders answer for himself. i was out of doors this weekend in iowa. we've been having events all week. this doesn't come up. what the voters care about is affording health care, affording college, affording child care. i'm not hearing about it from the voters. think they take a lot of other issues much more seriously. >> thank you for being on. >>> coming up in the next hour we'll talk to bernie sanders' campaign manager. >>> all three campaigns in overdrive. knocking on doors, making calls, to nail down votes. performance... ...reimagined. style... ...reinvented. sophistication... ...redefined. introducing the all-new lexus rx and rx hybrid. agile handling. available 12.3-inch navigation screen and panorama glass roof. never has luxury been this expressive. this is the pursuit of perfection. checking

a lot of people get elected and go to washington and fold. they go to washington because we're going to get rifd obamacare, we're going to do this -- >> as president you're going to be more presidential? >> i went to the best school. i have a uncle who was a president at m.i.t. i'm like a smart person. i can be -- anderson, i can be however i want. i have all of the social elite using my ballroom. you've been there. >> for charity events. just for the record. i was speaking for free, by the way, also. >> but anderson, all of the big events, the red cross, all of them. i have the elite of society come. oh, donald, how are you? they love me. i'm very different. i talk to them. how are you? how are you? then i leave. much different thing. i can be any way i want. as president, i will be different. when i have 17 people coming at me from 15 different angles you have to go pretty hard. >> i want you to meet andre from syria. moved here in 1988. he's been a police officer for 17 years. he's leaning in your favor. also likes rubio, though. >> you ar

also washington examiner columnist and republican pollster, kristen sultis anders anderson. trump and rubio continuing the attacks that started at last night's debate. seeing some of your tweets last night, you were saying you really thought they should -- if they're going to continue it should almost have press conferences with some of the polish workers who had worked on trump tower, the undocumented worker and suing donald trump. do you think they're going to do that or do these campaigns even have the resources to launch that kind of sustained attack? >> you know, what's remarkable, anders anderson, i feel like trump has been in a race for 24 hours now. what happened last night should have happened in the first or second debate. trump is a ridiculous candidate for president, and the way to beat him is to look at him, say you are ridiculous. and then go through the bill of particulars as to why he's ridiculous. i thought that marco rubio was good last night. i thought his speech today was fantastic. i would just keep at it. go right at the core of him. it's really a whole

>> no, i'll be back in washington tomorrow. >> i know. like mules. >> it's our busy season. >> wolf blitzer, dana bash, thank you. back to you. >> thank you. coming up next, more conversations with more candidates and the reality check with one of the claims made on stage. we'll be right back. >>> we're back in the debate hall that looked more like a ballroom blitz. we are joined by donald trump. they really came after you. ted cruz and marco rubio. how did it feel? >> it felt fine. i expected it. i was told by watching you and everybody else, in particular, i was told it would happen. i expected it. based on every poll, i hear i did very well. i felt comfortable. >> how do you prepare? >> it's very interesting. i never debated before professionally. i'm against these politicians. they talk. they do a lot of talking. the first debate was good. i think we did very well in the debating. according to every single poll. the more important polls are the polls we have now. bloomberg came out with a poll a couple hours ago. double digit leads pr
