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 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

me and donald. if you look at super tuesday. 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 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. that's why she loves new light & fit greek non-fat yogurt mousse. so fluffy and airy it's her new 80 calorie obsession. to the couple wondering what a good deal looks like... no. seriously? we'll give it a 6 for com

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

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

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...

donald trump and me. we are the only candidate that has beaten donald trump. i believe we're the only candidate that can beat donald trump. >> if doesn't go to a two person race that day, or afterwards? >> we'll see what the results are, but we're going to come out of super tuesday, seeing a meaningful difference in the delegate allocation. and you know, if you look at republican primary voters, they're a good 65% of primary voters who don't believe donald trump is the best candidate to go head to head with hillary clinton. we saw last night. hillary clinton and donald trump's policy view are virtually inn distinguish able. catastrophic, led to benghazi, donald trump agreed with hillary, supporting john kerry and the disastrous foreign policy has dramatically undermined the nation of israel. indeed, donald trump on foreign policy agreed with hillary clinton that america should be neutralween israel and palestine. we will stand unapologetic on economic policy. donald trump agreed with hillary and barack obama in support of the wall street bailout i think it was

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

. >> i want to go to donald trump and rubio. now, you know, donald trump is donald trump. he's kind of a showman, and i want to be clear, he's a friend of mine, but i never expected rubio to get in that mode and you know, is it entertaining for republicans, or are they turned off by it? >> well, i think most people saw that debate as the worst version of a jerry springer show, but the reality is look, it doesn't change the dynamics of this race. the dynamics of this race are the same. for someone to beat donald trump they have to start getting victories and have to start collecting more delegates -- >> okay, but rubio hasn't won a thing and is not projected to win florida, his own state. so why is the establishment so dug in against donald trump? >> well, judge, your term is establishment. i don't know what that means. this week, two congressmen came out for donald trump. >> two? the guy has won three of four primaries. >> right. i hear you. we have had donors call us and say how do they reach out to the trump campaign. scott brown came out a couple weeks ago. >> phil, i'm

donald trump can do that. but people are tired of the 12-point visions that never get implemented or put in practice. people want strength more so than 12-point plans. >> i'm not asking for a 12-point plan. i'm asking for two or three more points about the health plan. >> absolutely. let's pivot to the tax plan where he says anyone under -- >> no, i'm talking about the health plan. >> those are the two key prongs of his plan. repeal -- okay, the health plan, repeal obamacare. replace it across state lines. that's all he needs to put forth at this time. >> two. >> those are the two prongs of the policy. you can go to his website to find the detailed nitty-gritty. >> you know what the point is. he's not winning or fighting this fight on the basis of policy. that's not what he's offering right now. what he's offering is an antidote to the process. if he maintains this position and he becomes the nominee, everything changes in the general. just looking at hillary clinton or bernie sanders and telling them how much

the best choice was donald trump. and last thing is our family is one that prides loyalty and the fact is that we have been good friends with donald and family for many years. and there was no choice in my mind and when did i make the final decision? yesterday morning. i met with donald. we sat and talked. and he said how about coming out on the road to texas with me. and i said, happy to do it. that's how we did it and that's how the process went. >> governor christie, any campaign -- [ inaudible ] >> unprepared. marco rubio said he's wholly unprepared today. how do you evaluate mr. trump on -- [ inaudible ] >> i find this fascinating that someone who barely shows up for work in the six years he's the united states senator talks about somebody else unprepared. the fact of the matter is senator rubio shown himself over the course of time wholly unprepared to be president of the united states. nothing's changed my mind now. fact is this is the only guy on that stage other than governor kasich who's made executive decis

we are talk ing about donald trump and the kkk. trump tweeting he disavows the white supremacist david duke. trump saying as i stated at the press conference on friday regarding david duke i disavow. he hogs r posted a clip of the press conference. >> go ahead. >> how do you feel about the recent endorsement from david duke? >> i didn't even know he endorsed me. david duke endorsed me. i disavow. okay. >> reporter: this on the heels of his interview this morning on cnn this morning where he dodged the question about duke's support. >> i don't know anything about david duke. i don't know what you are talking about with white supremacy or white supremacist. i don't know. did he endorse me or what's going on? i know nothing about david duke. i know nothing about white supremacists. so you are asking me a question i'm supposed to be talking about people i know nothing about. >> the question from the anti-defamation league is even if you don't know about their endorsement, there are these groups and individuals endorsing you, would you

. >> donald, donald, i understand rules are very hard for you. you're have been ve confused. >> tv show -- >> donald. >> thank you for the book. thank you for the book. >> go ahead. >> donald, you can get back in the -- >> a lot of photos. i have to tell you. >> donald, relax. >> i'm relaxed. you're basket case. >> okay, so donald trump ended the exchange calling ted cruz a basket case, but you know, not many people are really mentioning ted cruz today. i find that intriguing. because cruz was also on the attack. at many points, amy, he seemed like a third wheel in attacking donald trump and donald trump attacking marco rubio. >> yeah, i think it was a very interesting exchange between the three of them. agreed, the other two candidates didn't seem to get the same amount of time. but i know that ted cruz feels very comfortable here in texas. he definitely has the home field advantage. the support of our governor and our former governor and our lieutenant governor as well. obviously the polls vary. some show him ten points ahead, some in a tie. i'

is donald trump the best guy to take on hillary clinton? >> well, look, i think this engagement tool is very interesting. i think all of these things that sort of measure polls and public opinions, gambling. it's an interesting analytical tool to sort of quantify the race. donald trump is yes, more likely not to be the republican nominee but there are also really good polling that goes into this, too. i'll just remind my friend, bakari sellers, the average has him beating hillary clinton. it's not just that hillary clinton walks away with this. by the way, this is a reflection of the moment now. we all know these races are dynamic, not static, so it's a fun engaging tool. >> i've got to get philip in here, bakari, before you respond, we're asking hepeople, even if you vote for somebody else, who has the best chance to win? and in this, it's donald trump and hillary clinton. >> obviously, i have to believe, we've seen an increasing reliance on partisanship with people making up their minds, a lot of republicans voting for the republicans, a

donald trump, once again, i can't overestimate how important this is for donald trump to emerge. second place barely in iowa, but now in first place in iowa. moving forward to south carolina, nevada, and the so-called s.e.c. states. those are coming up not very far down. jake, you're watching out there in manchester. we're standing by. i want to remind our viewers, speeches from donald trump, bernie sanders, they're the two big winners tonight. >> reporter: that's right. cnn has just learned that hillary clinton has telephoned senator bernie sanders to concede the race and offer her congratulations. we do expect that she will any minute now come to the stage and address her supporters. as you know, wolf, new hampshire, a big, big state for the clintons. historically, hillary clinton staged her comeback in 2008 in this state, winning primary against then-senator obama. bill clinton came in second here after a tumultuous start to his presidential campaign in 1992. so this is a -- it's a rough time for the clinton family and the clinton machine. let's go to jeff zeleny who is travel

me thinks donald doth protest too much, donald back taxes. hashtag what is he hiding? out front, our chief political analyst, gloria borger, and executive editor for cnn politics, mark preston. all right, gloria, obviously, mitt romney is going heavy on this. the deep irony, of course, is that mitt romney, who the taxes was it part of his downfall as a nominee, but maybe that's why he's doing it. it worked against him, so he thinks it will work against trump. >> this is exactly what harry reid said about mitt romney. what's he hiding? he's got to be hiding something. >> and something that was blatantly untrue. i have reason to believe that he paid no taxes. that was false. >> and romney said, there might be a bombshell in there. he didn't say there was. but what he's doing is he -- it's a technical term called stirring the pot, right? and that is what he's doing for this debate tonight. >> and david chalian, he was very careful to say, that could mean he didn't pay enough taxes, or it could mean he's not as rich as he says. anything is a quote/unquote bombshell. >> it'

donald trump is not a republican. donald trump is not conservative. donald trump is trying to pull off the biggest scam in american basically a con job trying to take over the republican party by telling people he's someone who he is not. we'll do whatever he takes. we'll be in this race as long as it takes. be in as many states to make sure i'm the nominee that donald trump never gets the 12236 delegates which he needs. >> dickerson: what we hear your campaign gotten a lot cappier about donald trump. the for a um of -- i never wanted it to get to this point. by own course the way the media covers politics people would open their eyes see who donald trump really is. that unfortunately has not happened. the polls and early states indicate he's been able to fool a significant number of people to believing that he is something that he is not. donald trump is a locales con artist, he conned all these people that signed up for trump university now trying to do the same thing to republican voters. he's trying to convince them that somehow he's the guy that

ted cruz, donald trump and bernie sanders. i'm joined by donned donald trump. welcome back. >> let me just ask you, how'd you make the deal to get chris christie to endorse you? >> well, it was just somebody that i really wanted. i must tell you i was going to leave a little time go by before i called him. i did not call him. he called me. he saw what was happening. he said, donald, you have a movement going. think we have 25,000 people in alabama, we ended up moving to a football stadium because you couldn't hold. i mean, what we have going is incredible. yesterday in arkansas we had 15,000 people in a hangar in tennessee. it's amazing what's going on. and he said there's a movement going on and i'd like to be part of it. and i was very happy. i was getting ready to call him. and he called me. and having chris is a great honor. >> well, i tell you, he seems like a changed man when it comes to you. there was a time he wasn't such a believer. let me play a few quotes. >> he's been very successful businessman, has lots of talents, absolutely no ability in this ar

donald trump. donald trump. donald trump. donald trump. jeb bush. jeb bush. donald trump. >> well, somewhere nicole wallace is smiling. >> yes. >> jeb bush who of course left the race, and chris hayes is with us by telephone. chris, this is the location you've been covering tonight. >> reporter: yeah. i'm actually right here with the folks doing the counting here. >> oh, good. >> reporter: and they have this -- they each make hashmarks to make sure they're getting it all right. you saw a run of donald trump there. that has been basically what's happened at every table donald trump has been entirely dominant so far at every precinct that i've seen at every table. folks come through, make the hash marks and then they will report that up. but so far what we have seen is basically in this location -- and again, this is a specific location, not broadly representative in any way -- in this specific location as you can see from the hash marks there next to trump on that tally sheet that he is looking at, donald trump has had a completely dominant performance at toni

donald trump won south carolina big. there is still a fight for second place, marco rubio and ted cruz fighting out for second there, and in nevada, hillary clinton prevailed in the democratic caucuses there. a margin of about five points over bernie sanders. >> and another story coming out, former florida governor jeb bush who was once considered the frontrunner to win the nomination, offered an emotional goodbye this evening as he suspended his campaign as the votes were coming in. and now ted cruz and marco rubio will be battling for second place, but tonight, the night belongs to the billionaire from new york, donald trump, and that is where we want to continue the coverage with cnn politics reporter jeremy diamond who is inside of the trump headquarters. so a big night for donald trump. and he says quickly, thank you, south carolina on to the next. what are you hearing from the trump campaign late this evening? >> reporter: that's right, kate. donald trump tonight with a huge win in south carolina, and this is somet

donald trump. his double-difficult win over marco rubio and ted cruz in south carolina, a possible delegate sweep, kills off the campaign of jeb bush. puts him in a powerful position. no republican who has won both new hampshire and south carolina has ever lost the nomination. the big question for so many in the gop today, a question unimaginable one year ago. can donald trump be stopped? he joins us live in a moment. first, jon karl brings us the results of the biggest day yet in thiss campaign. good morning, jon. >> good morning, george. this is a remarkable moment in american politics. what once seemed utterly impossible is one step closer to reality. hillary clinton could be facing off against donald trump this fall for the presidency of the united states. with his big win in south carolina, donald trump took command. >> this is nothing easy about running for president. it's tough. it's nasty. it's mean. it's vicious. it's beautiful. [ laughter ] when you win, it's beautiful. >> reporter: trump

if you want to beat donald only campaign at has demonstrated we can beat donald trump. i'll tell you, going into super tuesday, i think we're positioned, nine days from today, to have an amazing day. our base on the ground is strong. listen, republicans want a real conservative. they don't want someone like donald trump who supported john kerry, jimmy carter, hillary clinton. who supported expanding obamacare into socialized medicine. supported the wall street bailouts. the obama stimulus. they want, instead, someone who will stand up to the washington deals. >> we'll be watching. joining us this morning. >> thank you, george. >>> much more ahead with the powerhouse "roundtable." and reince priebus. is he prepared for a brokered convention? we'll ask him next. (vo) if you have type 2 diabetes, you may know what it's like to deal with high... and low blood sugar. januvia (sitagliptin) is a once-daily pill that, along with diet and exercise, helps lower blood sugar. januvia works when your blood sugar is high and works less when your blood sugar is low, because it works b

and head-to-head with donald trump i beat donald by 16 points, 56 to 40. you know, we really saw this in the debate last week, we saw a contrast between washington dealmakers. and this is how we've gotten in the mess we're in now is republicans who've cut deals with democrats, grow the debt, grow government and give away our constitutional rights, a contrast between dealmakers and a principled constitutional conservative. you know, chuck, it was striking when donald trump said, ted, you got to be willing to compromise on the supreme court. you got to be willing to compromise on religious liberty. let me tell you i will not compromise away your religious liberty rights. i will not compromise away your second amendment. donald trump is telling us if he's president he'll cut a deal with harry reid and chuck schumer and give away your constitutional rights. >> let me end where we began, if you are third in delegates wednesday morning, do you reassess your candidacy? >> well, listen, i don't intend to be third in delegates. i don't believe i am. i think that ma

beat donald trump. >> reporter: after betting big on a south carolina comeback, bid. >> the people of iowa and new hampshire and south carolina have spoken. and i really respect their decision. so tonight, i'm suspending my campaign. >> reporter: the field won't narrow much. john kasich and ben carson are both staying in. meanwhile in nevada, hillary clinton was finally able to slow the momentum of bernie sanders. >> some may have doubted us. but we never doubted each other. >> reporter: while conceding a defeat, sanders touted how quickly his campaign has closed the gap. >> we have come a very long way in nine months. it's clear to me, and i think most observers, that the wind is at our backs. we have the momentumum [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: back in south carolina, donald trump showed remarkable strength across the board. even winning evangelicals over ted cruz. the remaining six could still go his way. and the map, and the math, get even better for him as the race goes national. by march 15

donald trump telling people do not vote for a cuban, vote for donald trump. you know, when it comes to telling the truth and not telling the truth, you didn't ask donald trump about the fact that in the last debate i asked him true or false, you support socialized medicine, the government paying for your health care. he said false and it's directly contrary to what he said for 20 years on the record. listen, chris, the facts matter. i understand that there are folks that don't want to focus on the facts. but, listen, the voters care about the truth. they care about donald trump's record of giving -- >> senator cruz, we're flat out of time. first of all, i don't think anybody is going to think i did an easy interview with donald trump. i asked him about plenty of things. you'll get an opportunity to ask him questions on the fox debate on thursday. thank you for making time on this very busy weekend, sir. >>> up next, senator marco rubio on his new strategy of open warfare against donald trump. is it too late? pet moments are beautiful, unless you have allergie

tonight, donald trump was

donald trump and me. and one of the things we're seeing is across the country, there are a lot of republicans who think donald trump is not the right guy to go head to head with hillary clinton, that we probably lose that match up. about 70% of republicans believe that. we're seeing people come together behind our campaign because we're the only campaign that has beaten donald trump and that can beat donald trump. the left. you can't beat donald with a candidate who is supported amnesty. donald wins that head to head. head to head with me question beat donald trump by 16 points and so what we're seeing, john, is incredible. people all over the country are going to tedcruz.org, over 980,000 contribution we want a strong conservative. we want someone who can beat hillary and i beat hillary and donald sadly the polling shows doesn't. >> dickerson: let me ask you a question abut evangelical voters in north carolina, they went for donald trump over you. do you think that he he questioned your christianity duri

if you support donald trump, then you will continue to support donald trump. i don't think ted cruz had a great night. i think a lot will weigh on whether he wins texas. >> there's no question, maeve, you have to give trump question for having two guys going at him and balancing attacks. >> he took it. >> we saw handshakes from cruz and rubio behind trump during breaks. could it have been concerted? >> i don't know it was concerted. it seemed like ted cruz was going after rubio really for the first half of the debate. then pivoted. >> you think it was a change of play. he saw what rubio was doing. >> and decided to hit trump from both sides. rubio did signal he would attack donald trump the night before at a rally talking about donald trump's position on israel and obamacare. what he did which was effective, jeb was never able to do, was just keep coming at him. come at him and not let up. >> good example. the watches. i don't know where he got it. it was a great line. let's play what he said about the watches last night. >> if he builds the wall the way he bu

this is donald trump's time. donald trump came in and very early on punched jeb bush, punched him hard. jeb didn't think initially he had to punch back. by the time he realized it, i think it was too late. >> even more so than the punch was the definition. he defined jeb bush out of the gate and jeb was thrown back on his heels and his campaign, the interesting thing, they thought they could spin their way to a solution with donald trump. and this was not a money campaign. this was really something visceral for the voters and he never connected to it. >> i've never seen a candidate defined in a way that donald trump defined jeb bush repeatedly by calling him a low energy candidate, and there's so many things to untangle here. i mean, go back nine months, and tell people that on the same day that jeb bush would get out of the race when all the smart money said jeb was the next nominee. you're saying that donald trump is going to become, move strongly into first place. it's shocking. but also you look at those numb

as strong conservatives, donald trump wins. even people as moderate conservatives, donald trump wins. so exactly, you know what is the hope here? i don't know. you talk about 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, 2, strategy, marco rubio has to win somewhere. >> you paint the picture of an outsider taking over a party that may lead to a nomination. >> right. >> he's turned this upside down. >> yes. he has. i think when you started to try to map out how do you stop donald trump, you have to start implying almost magical thinking and saying you know rubio is going to somehow, kasich is going to drop out and rubio will win ohio and florida and you piece together things that seem to be moving pieces or cruz is going to drop out and head to head between donald trump and rubio but why is cruz going to drop out? there are a lot of things that have to happen that probably aren't going to happen. it looks as >>> and, so, it definitely looks like rubio drops out. advisor w saying that you, past is pro logged because what they're doing isn't working so far. >>

both from donald trump. really claiming that the campaign is one that is really founded on lies and missteps and fraud. so rick tyler's tweet played into that narrative perfectly. i think they are very aware that they had to squash this story. >> thank you very much. i appreciate. that i want to bring in hugh hewitt. today is hugh's birthday. he is 25 years old. so naturally you close to spend it here with our viewers, right? >> yeah. i woke up this morning and mike allen's play book sang happy 60th birthday. so i've gotten more birthday wishes than i have in the previous 59 years so thank you. >> i always say i'm celebrating the anniversary. so the 30th anniversary of your 30th birthday. >> what donald trump has proven, we get on work as long as we want. they're bunls of energy. if they can keep running for president, we can keep commenting. >> what a birthday present. your radio show, you spoke to them. did they give you any headlines? >> i think the headline for ted cruz is that he grew up speaking spanis

trump now, what does that say about donald trump. >> >> look, donald trump's immigration record is a matter of public fact, public record. donald trump's record on immigration is terrible. >> [inaudible] >> donald trump's record on immigration is terrible. no one who gives hundreds of thousands of dollars to open border democrats can be trusted to secure the border. and the fact that there are now reports that donald trump is telling "the new york times" he intends to go back on everything he's said on immigration right now, there is a reason, there is a reason. [inaudible conversations] >> i have no idea what trump said. >> senator, if you win -- [inaudible conversations] if you win the nomination, if you win the nomination for the presidency, what is going to be your message to the dreamers and to the mothers who are trying to decide whether they vote for -- [inaudible] >> listen, my message in this election is that we're going to bring back jobs and economic growth. >> to the dreamers. >> we are going to enforce the law. and president obama's executive amnesty is illegal. it is co

donald trump and us. the only campaign that has beaten donald trump and the only campaign that can beat donald trump is this campaign. >> he got some low marks for that. he seemed kind of low energy. >> yes. to borrow a phrase coined by donald trump, that was the words we kind of put on that speech. it's understandable he's tired. it was very late in the night if you've been on east coast time and i can attest to the fact it's grueling. but, still, when you're trying to tell your supporters, it's not over and you're still very much in the race, you really don't want to seem deflated. he is right, of course. he is the only candidate that's won a race besides 2ku7 at this point. of course, he won in iowa, the first caucus state. since then, no one else has beaten donald trump. and, so, yes, history tells us that it's really not the case, that usually someone who doesn't win one of those first states goes on to win the nomination. he has a point there. of course, donald trump has won three auto of four. so i

donald trump had a good night. and the numbers that you point to of the people who said of the south carolina republican primary voters who said that telling it like it is was the most important candidate characteristic which was 16% of the electorate. 77% of them said that donald trump was their candidate. i think that's an opportunity for the non-trump candidates in the race, when you look at what trump has said on a variety of positions, whether it was for the iraq war, against the iraq war, whether you like to see obamacare mandate, whether he opposes obamacare, he's been on many sides of the issues as we have discussed a number of times, and i'm a little surprised that other candidates haven't criticized that. not necessarily -- >> that's all we've heard all week. it's trump that is saying, i want to have these positions. what voters are deciding is, do they believe he's going to build a wall? does he mooef he's going to repay treuate money, tough on isis. the strength that he's projecting, and obviously, the

donald trump can do it! america needs someone who's going to make sure that when we give our word around the world that america's word means business. donald trump is just the man to do it. and here's what we don't need. we don't need another washington politician in the white house, do we? do we need a first term united states senator in the white house? do we need a united stes senator from florida who doesn't show up for work? let me tell you something, marco rubio. president of the united states is not a no-show job like you treated the united states senate. simple fact is that. america wants strong, tough leadership. america's tired of being walked on. america's tired of being treated second class around the world. we need a first class president and we are going to have it in donald trump. and all the political pundits and all the chattering class of washington, d.c. want to tell you you're wrong. the american people, we the people are right. and we the people are supporting donald j. trump. [ cheers a

donald trump llega como ganador de 3 de las 4 contiendas electorales. en el estado de en evada cruzÓ el 40% de los votantes, hasta la comunidad hispana republicana votÓ por Él. >>> mira, realmente es un fenÓmeno impresionante. yo era uno de los que decÍa que trump iba en algÚn momento a caer, pero sin embargo, a continuado y ya ha ganado 3 contiendas. una de tras de otra. francamente llega a este debate con el momento. hay que ver si es imparable, si alguien lo puede parar, es marco rubio o ted cruz y en este debate, tiene que tratar de presentarse como la alternativa a donald trump. >>> lo interesante, que tanto cruz como rubio, se han presentado ya como la alternativa en el caso de rubio como la alternativa de quizÁs la parte tradicional, el ala tradicional del partido republicano, ahora que ha salido jeff bush, queda muy poco no ha querido crecer y con cruz, texas clave para Él, pero tampoco pudo por ejemplo en carolina del sur hacer lo que muchos esperaban, que era tener una fuerte participaciÓn electoral. >>> bueno, claro, primero que nada

i actually disagree with donald trump. i think he was a terrific candidate, unfortunately came up short. but at the same time for a man himself who went through so much struggle in releasing his own tax returns back in 2012, i don't know why this is the attack they gave him. >> bernard, mitt romney must know something. he's saying #bombshell and he's saying #whatishehiding. >> mitt romney is the most irrelevant politician. come on, this is a guy who did a terrible job. this is the closest i will ever get to agreeing with anything donald trump has ever or will ever tweet. i think he's pretty accurate by that tweet. i think mitt romney doesn't know a whole lot. was schooled by senator harry reid. for him to be giving establishment advice to donald trump. guess who cares? no one. >> let's move on to this. the leading newspapers are coming out against donald trump. washington post editorial board calling this the moment of truth saying, quote, you must do everything in your power to stop trump and asking, is the republican par

donald trump, we shouldn't expect it, not backing down. is this a dangerous fight for donald trump to be -- well, he didn't pick it. he's responding. but to be maintaining with the leader of the world's 1.2 billion catholics? >> honestly, this is something that i don't even have words for. because it's remarkable to think that the pope would engage like this in a u.s. presidential election, number one. but number two, say that somebody is effectively not a christian. now i just want to say that i have my voice down, because i'm at a jeb bush event and it's a pretty intimate event and i don't want to be disrupt i have. he has not said anything about this yet, unclear if he knows about it. jeb bush is a devout catholic. so i'm sure he will have some things to say about the pope's message. but you played some of what donald trump said publicly. but also in a written statement, it was even more intense, jim. he said, you know, at some point if isis attacked the vatican, the pope will have wished that there were a president trump to defend the

donald trump. >> this guy lindsey graham is one of the dumbest guy i've ever seen. >> we would get slaughtered if donald trump is our nominee and we would deserve it. >> the republican presidential campaign has a new front-runner for most ridiculous lawyer in the world, jeffry l. goldman actually wrote a letter to the cruz for president campaign that begins with i am counsel to donald trump. the cruz campaign provided us with a copy of that letter and in it donald trump's lawyer complains about an attack ad and says the cruz campaign does not stop running that ad, quote, we will seek immediate legal action to prevent the continued broadcast of the attack ad and hold you jointly liable to the fullest extent of the law for any damages resulting there from and we'll look forward to doing it. i'm sure by now like me you're all looking forward to seeing the attack ad that donald trump's lawyer says is the very definition of liable. >> life, marriage, religious liberty, the second amendment, we're just o

nobody looking at donald trump's record could believe for a moment that donald would appoint principled, conservative justices. if you look over the past decades, any time a republican nominates a judge with a proven conservative record on the bench, you had a nasty, not down, drag out title. -- knockdown drag out metal. the democrats care about court and will invest all their energy defeating a proven conservative. it is why republican presidents have decided the court didn't matter that much and they would go with a stealth candidate with no record because they are not willing to invest the political capital. the democrats are always willing to invest everything they have in confirming far left-wing justices. if donald ever became president, we know for a fact he would not invest any political capital in confirming a conservative justice because he's been supporting left-wing democrats, writing them checks, many of whose core missions was preventing conservatives from getting to the court. no one who cares about conservative justices could write those checks. i would note the stakes -

donald trump is a businessman. he understands the value as i do being a businessman myself of surrounding yourself with good people and donald trump will do that. i don't have any at all if he is the nominee in supporting donald trump. >> is there a message to you and to other elected officials in the republican party, i mean, when you look at donald trump winning new hampshire, south carolina, nevada, leading in your state right now and doing it as you say he got two congressional endorsements yesterday but before that nothing. >> right. >> no endorsements from elected officials and leaders in the republican party, what does that say about the state of the republican party right now? >> what it says is more about the nation itself. people are frustrated. look, i'm frustrated, i was frustrated midafternoon of the first day i got up here. people want to see change and that's what donald trump is offering and that's what we've got to have. we've got to have a shake up and people are ready for that. so, you know, this
