i doubt that scottie's answer satisfies you. what do you make of it, and do you think you have enough time right now? the cnn poll that just came out, 49 %. it's two days before election day. 49 % for donald trump. do you have him where you want him? >> with all respect to the poll, it's a national poll, not a super tuesday poll. i think tomorrow will be important. i expect that mr. trump will do well in many of those states tomorrow. the reality is there hasn't been a sustained campaign against this guy. most of the places where this poll took place, there hasn't been one ad exposing donald trump for his business failures or racist history. it's not just his refusal to disavow the kkk. there's a history there. it's hiding his business dealings. he hasn't released his tax returns so we can call him out on all kinds of problems that he has in terms of failed businesses, failed instances where he's put his name on things and working people have been left holding the bag. that has started. there are several organizations now just i

we'll see scotty perform duets with both contestants. you can watch the show on our sister station, fox 50. >>> scientists say they have detected gravitational ripples just as einstein predicted a scientists at cal tech, m.i.t. and the ligo scientific organization. physicists have been working for a century to prove the existence of gravity waves. kind of over my head i'll admit. >> i'm just happy to stick to the whole lego concept. [ laughter ] >>> it has to do with detecting things in space. scientists are thinking there might be a ninth planet because they can tell the gravitational waves. but they haven't seen it yet. that's what it has to do with. it's a theory einstein had 100 years ago that's now finally been proven. we now have the technology to be able to tell that there's such a thing and that may help detect things like planets. >> what she said. >> cool stuff.

scotty blumenthal/bri bri foundation (31) 24:15 you kind of have this huge black hole little positive bits into it and that's kind of where the helmet thing came from. :28 the 'helmet thing' is making sure that no kid in dare county goes without one. and the community is helping him with that. people have donated tens of thousands of dollars, and hundreds of helmets to help him start the bri bri foundation. (31) 24:28 it was just a way almost kind of selfish because it's helped me heal to see the community change their mindset on helmets and child safety :37 since bri's death, dare county schools have started enforcing state law. they don't let any kid leave school on a bike without a helmet. but superintendent dr. sue burgess says that's only part of the battle. dr. (6) 8:45 of course, they wear their helmet until they're out of sight. what happens when they're out of sight, we don't know. but parents, teachers, and police are watching -- and bri's death seems to be changing how kids look at helmets. 21:35 before, you showed up with a helmet you might get joked on a to hear it. :44 (

that was the add right there, scottie. >> he does sound like he's playing nice and staying above the fray. that's great but he voted for the tpa bill and he was absent for the audit the fed bill, some of those things that are very important to south carolina voters. which means he goes along with the idea of the politicians which is why donald trump is surging in the polls. people are tired of folks who talk the talk, they want folks who walk the walk. most of the people in congress have proven they're just all talk. >>. >> i want both of you to stand by. there's a campaign event in south carolina right now, marco rubio is speaking, let's listen in for a moment. >> we need a president that will rebuild our military, not gut it. we have someone coming to south carolina, running for president, another senator, i'm narrowing the list for you. [ laughter ] the only budget he's ever voted for is a budget sponsored by rand paul that brags about cutting defense spending. i'm going to tell you why that's such a terrible idea. today our army is about to become the smallest it has been since t

scotty, i want to get your reaction. for months holding back but last night no holding back and you see it's continuing today. >> yeah. you have to wonder what actually flipped him out? what made this change? it comes to the point that i think you realize because he had very little delegates and support. only way that he has a chance in the nomination to cause chaos in the republican party and have a brokered convention going to the rnc. only way and we're about to suffer through seven more months of that type of low blows there. that remind me about my life at the sorority house because that's the way that sisters sometimes talk to each other but i go to the people that actually have to trust this man who know the man the most and go to florida and a reason he is leading him 44-28. i think because like around lake okeechobee people feel like they're left, betrayed by marco rubio's ties to big sugar seeing the waters polluted and marco rubio's done nothing about it or maybe nose within the florida republican party believ

scottie after the break. first ryan lizza first word after the break. we turn to the democrats making their case to the voters across the country ahead of super tuesday. how does what happens right now, right here in south carolina change the game? also the voice of the people. you've got the pundits. you've got me, the media, what about just the voters? i sat down with the big group of african-american voters here in south carolina this morning, some supporting bernie sanders, some supporting hillary clinton, some still undecided even as they head to the polls. what is it going to take to earn their vote in the final moments? stay with us. all her aches and pains. and i said "come to class, let's start walking together" and i said "and i bet you money you'll be able to do that senior walk". that day i said "ok it's me and you girl, me and you!" i said "if you need to stop, there's a bench we'll just hang out in the shade." she said "absolutely not! we are going to finish this race!" and we were the last ones in, but you know what? we finished the race.

scottie? >> this could have ended yesterday. all ben carson asked ted cruz to do is come out and publicly apologize and admit it and hold your people accountable for those people who spread these rumors. we heard ben carson say that his wife was standing at the polling place and ted cruz spokesperson got up in front of her and said that ben carson was going to be stepping out of the race and welcomed his support. she said, no, he isn't. my husband is still in. it all happened 30 minutes before the iowa caucus began and you cannot sit there and say that there wasn't some sort of collaboration between the different groups. and yet, all we hear is this private phone call happen from ted cruz to dr. carson. there's been no accountability and it's not just about this issue. this is exactly what is wrong with politics today. this is a reflection of a bigger issue. the president does not say the buck stops with me, i'm going to hold people accountable and that's the reason this is continuing into the next day. >> doug, i'm told there's

but wait, she has another idol connection, she judged a clayton idol contest who's winner was scottie mccrerie. is she the key? it? she is at a pro dealing with everything "idol" she has advice, don't go on the internet and read what people are saying about him. >> they don't say nice thing. they have to take nasty things. don't pay attention, don't.

scottie, thanks very much for joining us. take a look at this poll. our new cnn/wmur poll shows trump still in the lead, rubio steadily rising, he's in second place, but kasich and cruz are tied in third place. your reaction. >> well, the poll is exactly the same way since iowa. these are great numbers for mr. trump, that means they're unchanged. aka iowa has already forgotten, like mr. trump has already forgotten iowa. going forward, i agree it is focusing on new hampshire. this would have been ideal for mr. trump to hold his rally today. it's not like he's at home sitting on his couch, he's down in south carolina holding a rally. a few days ago he was in little rock, arkansas, and did have plane troubles. everything is legitimate reaches why he's not in new hampshire. he rescheduled the event monday and will be back in new hampshire the next four days. so the granite state is not being ignored by mr. trump. if anything, he's doing everything he can to get back there and probably spending more time with the people because of this and not necessarily

trump. >> scotty, go ahead, what? >> bill clinton lost the first four contestant in 199 2. first win super tuesday in georgia. went on to be the democratic nominee and two term president. the entire point is we don't disrespect people in states that haven't voted yet. we are not going to choose a nominee. >> i'm doing the math. >> should we just hang it up now? >> >> them sounds like the jeb bush people. we're inevitable. hillary sib evident tillable. >> i have said this on fox for a long time the only way you compete against donald trump at this stage of the game two things in politics momentum and time. trump has the momentum. you guys are running out of time. if you want to compete has to get behind one nontrump candidate. who is it going to be? >> ted cruz. >> marco rubio says you can't win anywhere. wouldn't youg, rather be ted cruz than donald trump head of the tea party network, scottie? >> i agree it could be all three of them. the truth is though. >> it doesn't matter whether cruz or rubio. we're winning. that's the point. >> mr. trump ohio know well, why isn't he

what do you think, scottie? >> carson after last night and the antic that is ted cruz pulled against carson, i guarantee carson supporters are very upset with cruz, and they will not go and back him regardless of what happens. >> i think carson was upset too. he came out right away and said that's just dirty tricks. he actually used the word, dirty tricks. i love it. good to have you. thank you so much. better book your schedules off for us next week because we're going to do this all over again. >>> coming up, be sure to join us tomorrow night, 9:00 p.m. eastern time. democratic presidential candidates are going to get together again. hillary clinton and bernie sanders. no martin o'malley at this point. he said no way. he is done. they're fwog take part in a town hall that's hosted by anderson cooper. we'll have it right here on cnn, so make sure stick around for that. hillary clinton will join wolf blitz ner a live interview in our next hour here on cnn. it's her first live interview since the iowa caucuses la

also joining me, scottie nell hughes. fair to say, you're backing to trump, right, scottie? >> pretty safe to say. >> so the first question is going to be for you, then. i want to put up a delegate count and the map of it. because the delegate count is where it's all at. and if you look at this count right now, you can see trump has 67, cruz is way back with 11, rubio's got 10, kasich, 5, carson, 3, others, 7. but that 67, while it looks huge, they're heading into super tuesday. there are 14 contests on super tuesday, scottie. and texas alone has 155, i think, if i remember my math. so, look, while it looks great right now, can donald trump really do well enough to be able to go -- to pull in those 155 in cruz country? >> well, yeah, absolutely. if you add in tennessee, georgia, and alabama, plus massachusetts, all four that he's polling very well in, he's over the 155 of ted cruz. and that is assuming that senator cruz gets completely 100% votes there. which donald trump is polling just as well. ted cruz might be great in his home state. but here's the funny thing when you

players that scotty skiles coached when he was with milwaukee. we' ll hear from brandon and erson tonight at 11:00. scotty right now. >> brandon is a good pick and an old player. anderson has been a good three-point shooter, good rebounder. a good hard playing guy. once you figure that out, you can keep trying to refine each skill. pat: ok, meanwhile over here it is all business for the buggies on the track in the can am qualifying races. two events, 60 laps each, 150 miles. always nice to win these things or finish well to better your spot in the grid, but drivers sunday 500 don' t want to wreck their 500 cars, so we' ll keep an eye on that. 36 cars now automatically in with the new charter system, effectively meaning that six tonight for two available spots in the 500. chase elliott won the pole last sunday. >> there is lot of things i feel like i need to learn before sunday rolls around, so trying to piece are there -- be smart there, fighting a fine line. we can' t let all of the front row get in our heads. me learning is more important than

scotty, thanks very much for joining us. back in 2013, donald trump tweeted this, "no one remembers who came in second" quoting the pro golfer, walter hagan. how much of a setback was his second-place finish in iowa? >> well, of course mr. trump would have liked to have finished first, who wouldn't? but this is -- we have to remember, 45,427 people took a vote in support of donald trump in iowa. that is an incredible number, and probably more than ever before for any presidential candidate except for ted cruz who was 6,000 more. but that does not negate the strides that mr. trump made in iowa. now he goes on to the rust belt where he know he's most popular. his issue, immigration, is probably one of the key issues in new hampshire right now that they're dealing with that voters appreciate. so. he goes back on task which he will and he is talking about immigration, talking about securing our border, talk about bringing good jobs to the united states especially a state like new hampshire, i promise you're going to see that he'

sco scottie, thanks very much for joining us. what do you make of the decision to pull the attack ad and replace it with a positive message about his own campaign? >> let's talk about the people of south carolina first because that's what this has to do with. they are known for having shrimp and grits, great palmetto trees and knowing how to have the most dirtiest of all dirty campaigns, whether on the republican or democrat side. mr. trump has realized that he's already proven that he can throw punches and take them, so now he has to show that he's the adult in the room when everybody else is acting like children, which is a great move from him. i like the fact that he doesn't have to respond back to these. i've said before on your show in the past, wolf, eagles don't hunting flies. right now the rest of these candidates are acting so childish and not focusing on what makes them the best person for president, rather tearing others down. that's not what's good for the republican party. i know we read one of the other tweets. dona

losing iowa had a effect and put a dment his momentum. >> scotty, i want you to talk about the other guys. leading into saturday, there was talk, well, marco rubio may be surging after new hampshire, it may be down to three, donald trump, ted cruz, and marco rubio. now we could be leaving new hampshire not with a smaller field but a pretty big field going south carolina. what do you see emerging in the governor's pack plus rubio and cruz? >> you heard buzz kasich doing well. whether it be at a presidential -- even a vice president spot down the road. kasich has been the steady in his place. chris christie is a lot like donald trump, has the same fire, same passion. but the problem that all three governors have is they have a track record. and their track records are anything but conservative. you can skpiptd question senators, but -- time and time again, it comes up. >> the problem is that three are three governors and they have each other to worry about. so far they haven't gone after each other. do they need to? >> they'll have. to they're coming from three at the time very moderat

so i think -- >> okay, but, scottie, i cannot let you -- okay, go, go, go. you were -- tell us what you think. >> i know how to work with you. you know, personally, i can see him looking to former presidential candidates. ones he worked with on stage. mike huckabee was not just wearing a trump tie to be nice. i think mike huckabee would be a good choice for evangelicals. i think senator marco rubio. the one issue he disagrees about with him oimmigration, mr. trump is pretty smart. i wish cruz would still be in the running but i think the bromance has gone into a full divorce. you'd also look at giuliani, gingrich. he'll look to his cabinet for some of those folks as well. >> what about, you know, some of the female candidates. is nikki haley out because she endorsed marco rubio? do you think sarah palin would be out? perhaps maybe she's run before but maybe she's not enough of a washington inside er. >> i don't think it's going to be a sarah palin. i think it could be a governor like a nikki haley. the problem is -- she gave her endorsement to marco rubio in

scottie, go ahead. and when you are looking at the numbers and looking at texas who ted cruz is counting on for 155 votes, and alabama and texas and you look at marco rubio having a hard time based on immigration. senator jeff sessions is extremely popular in alabama, and that is 50 votes right, there and he has not waivered either way. if ted cruz does not win 100% which i don't believe he will going into the states right now, you will have a, there's a threshold that the people have to get at least 15%, 10 to 15% of the voter totals, and that going to be taking a wway a allf kasich away, and carson and the extras, and if we go into the brokered convention, the gop will not survive. there is going to be such a revolt on the hands, because the people don't care necessarily what the gop establishment wants. if the people have the numbers, and i promise you sh, they are going to be happy with the republican party if we go into the brokered convention. >> and stand by, carl and scottie, and one more progra

or the beltway has tried to pass. >> scottie, you bring up endorsements and how much does it matter? >> it always matters. >> well, in south carolina, look at rubio, he has the best list of endorsements you could get. >> and sarah palin did not bring iowa to donald trump as you know as well. >> mayor nutter. >> as someone who has run for office, you would like to have the endorsement but it is not true that the culinary workers endorsed secretary clinton. >> they did. >> and she addressed them and they were helpful, but by the way of the endorsement, and if you can get it, you would. >> and it stings more when it doesn't go your way. >> and in this day and age with the instant communication, endor endorsements are less important than they used to be, and it is the politics tof past. and we are have seen it frankly on both sides. >> in many instances the rank and file is making the decisions based on the information they are gettingt at wref, and at the risk of ever disagreeing with somebody that i have admired for a long, long period of time. >> talking about you, kate. >> well, no,
