and jeb bush and cruz pushed justice john roberts and now we have justice john roberts. what happened is, he -- twice, could have ended obamacare and he didn't do it. so cruz shouldn't be talking. because that was among the worst appointments i have ever seen. we have obamacare because of jeb bush, ted cruz, george bush. >> let me ask you a final question. the same question i asked ted cruz. they really seemed to be piling on you last night. you heard the boos from the crowd as well. you think this is all happening because the other republicans have figured out if you win south carolina you may not be stopped? >> the reason it happens is because i'm self-funding. putting up my own money. i built a tremendous business. i don't need anybody's money. i'm going to do what is right in that room were many people that i know very well. they're all lobbyists and special interests. bush. this guy's wasted $140 million. running failed campaign. he spent $43 million in new hampshire and came in fourth or fifth. i spent $3 million and came in first by a lot. this is the kind of guy

did not appoint john roberts. once the president made the nomination, i suprted it. that would have been a mistake. you have to look at donald trump's histo. this is a man who, for four decades, has supported liberal democrats. jimmy carter over ronl rag. en. donald trump gave money to chuck schumer,arry reid, hillary clinton. anyone that writes checks to chuck schumer and harry reid and jimmy carter and hillary clinton does not care about conservative justices on the court. e one person he's suggested that would make a good justice is his sister, who is a court of appeals judge appointed by bill inton. she's a hard-core pro abortion liberal judge. he said she would makake terrific justice. >> he's said there would be a conflict of interest and would not appoint her. >> but it gives you an example be looking to. the type of pele he would be looking to. donald trump is not a coervative. for his entire life, he's been lf-described very, ver pro choice. he's supported partial-birth abortion. yesterday, he defended pl

bush john roberts to the court back in 2005. take a look. >> i wouldn't have nominated john roberts. indeed, governor bush pointed out y it wasn't that the president bush wanted appoint a liberal to the court. >> but, senator, that's not what you said when, in fact, roberts was nominated to the court back in 2005. i want to put up an article, a big article you wrote with the title "the right stuff". there is in 2005. you wrote, "john roberts should be a quick confirm. as a jurorist, job roberts' approach will be of that his entire career, carefully, faithfully applying the constitution and legal precedent." this was a long article, sir, that you wrote for the national review and you certainly seemed at the time, i know you said you wouldn't have nominated him, you seemed to be an enthusiastic supporter of john roberts. >> well, chris, it's true. once george w. bush nominated him, i supported the republican president in his nomination. that was a mistake. in hinld sight, dsight that, was a mistake. i would have nominated mike lud

i is the one that pushed for john roberts. john robert has been a disaster. john roberts had two chances to knock out obamacare around he didn't do it. bill: two points on this. repeatedly at every stop, every rally he has, obamacare is out. ted cruz meanwhile actually sits on judiciary committee in the senate. cruz has said that he will filibuster any nomination. how do you see this going, steve? >> trump has also said he is in favor of universal coverage. he said at one point he is in favor of single-payer. hard to know what trump is saying from one die to the next. just in that sound bite you played that is pretty significant exaggeration. donald trump saying that ted cruz is responsible for john roberts being on the court. what happened was george w. bush nominated john roberts to be on the court. ted cruz wrote about roberts and endorsed his candidacy to be on the court. quite a suggest to suggest he is responsible for it. this probably works to the advantage of ted cruz and marco rubio both lawyers by training. cruz was of course a supreme court clerk f

bush made a mistake naming john roberts in 2005. >> i would not have nominated john roberts and governor bush pointed out why. it wasn't that the president bush wants to appoint a liberal to the court. it was the ease are choice. >> senator, that is not what you said when roberts was nominated to the court in 2005. i will put up an article you wrote with the time "the right stuff," in 2005, roberts nominated to the court. you wrote "john roberts should be a quick confirm, as a jurist, judge robert's approach will be that of his entire career: carefully, faithfully applying the constitution and legal precedent." this was a long article, sir, you wrote for the "national review," and you seemed at the time an enthusiastic supporter of john roberts. >> it is true, when george w. bush nominated him i supported the republican president in the nomination. that was a mistake in hindsight. be absolutely clear i would not have nominated ron jobs i would have nominated my former boss on the court of appeals, a prove were conservative who had decades on the court defending conservative principles an

chief justice john roberts was appointed three weeks later in 2000 a.m. what's extraordinary is this will only be the third time in history a president has tried to fill a vacancy during a presidential election year. it happened in 1988 and in 1968. the second question that's being asked right now is how many supreme court justices are there? there had been nine justices on the supreme court since insurance 1869. before that, the number of judges fluctuated between five and ten. congress has the power to decide how many justices there should be ultimately. the third question -- who appointed scalia to the supreme court. president ronald ray gran appointed justice anthony scalia in 1986. he was only 50 years old making him the youngest on the court at the time. italian-american justice served 29 years and four months. he was the longest serving of the current nine sitting justices. now who -- the fourth question we have here is who appoints supreme court justices? americans want to know this. really, tbs the president who appoints it and the u.s. senate ha

say first in texas. >> well, texas is is one, i axwree with john roberts. i think there are two states that might be up for grabs. texas is likely to be. this, the poll has tended to show cruz, the home state senator, is ahead. but you know, it's not just winning. it is the number delegates you get and there you get into the arcadia of the delegate rules and i know you don't, you're both, you like to go there, but you don't want to, but i have an example of what might happen in texas. take the latest poll is from monmouth college. it has cruz at 38. trump at 23 and rubio as 21. 44 delegates will be decided. if they get those percentages, cruz comes out 21, 12 to trump, 11 for rubio. but then you go to the congressional districts where again, the rule is you got to get more than 20% to be considered. but the first guy who gets more than 20%, the highest number, gets two delegates out of each district. 36 in texas. the number two guy gets one and the third guy even if he gets more than 20%, he gets zero, so what happens if in all 36 districts, the same patter

somebody is posing as john roberts, and the real john roberts can't do anything about it. "i mean literally, he kicked me out of my entire old facebook. i can't get into none of it." roberts says the problems
