our senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny is following the democratic contest for us. what's the latest? >> reporter: wolf, hillary clinton is pushing hard for super tuesday tomorrow night. she hopes it will be the biggest collection of delegates yet. she wrapped up a campaign rally here in virginia a short time ago. she's decided to add minnesota on to her campaign schedule. she'll be going there tomorrow. that's a state bernie sanders has been planting his flag in. the sanders campaign is confident of win something states but a short time ago, he told reporters when asked if he could win any state but vermont, he said, i surely hope so. >> tomorrow is super tuesday. massachusetts is right in the middle of it. and i need your help. >> reporter: hillary clinton is riding a wave, hoping her south carolina landslide becomes an even bigger super tuesday victory lap. >> i will work as hard as i can every single day. i will get up and go to work for you and fight for you. >> reporter: the delegate fight with >> reporter: the delegate fight with bernie sanders will go on, bu

meantime, send you to washington. the lead with jake tapper starts now. >>> thanks, brooke. our long national nightmare is over. leo finally has his oscar. the lead starts now. >>> donald trump blaming his earpiece for refusal to condemn the klan, david duke, and white supremacist groups. they interrupt a trump rally. >>> the biggest day in the campaign, republican officials in washington in desperation mode trying to save the party as they know it. what will it mean to be a republican if super tuesday becomes trump tuesday? >>> plus. >> i made the worst mistake of my life. >> first on cnn, an american college student detained in north korea sobbing as he pleas for mercy. does he look like a spy working for the cia? pyongyang thinks so. >>> welcome to the lead. i am jake tapper. everything is on the line for republicans tomorrow, super tuesday. if the polls are to be believed, this time wednesday we will be talking about donald trump, the presumptive republican presidential nominee. instead of party leaders getting comfortable with the idea, they're in full panic mode becaus

our senior washington correspondent joe johns is live in minneapolis where bernie sanders is scheduled to hold a campaign rally in a little more than one hour. they are also very, very enthusiastic, joe. >> i think so, very enthusiastic. and we're seeing people stream in right now. still got an hour and a half ago. a lot of these people sort of tipify the bernie sanders team across the country, younger, appearing to be students and what have you. but, look, hillary clinton is in some ways in the driver's seat right now and her campaign is trying to appear as if they're not confident, they're not overconfident. they're trying to be cautious and at the same time they're trying to pose themselves as the campaign that is going to win the nomination, the democratic nomination for president. hillary clinton is also talking more about donald trump. and that's a little bit of trying to appear like a general election nominee. but i have to tell you, bernie sanders has been talking about donald trump as well on the campaign trail of late. and it's not just a reflection of who thinks they're in t

these are washington insiders. and i don't really hang around with them. they are not comfortable with me. people say there are a lot of voters that would vote for trump or for me. why is that? they know i don't take orders from the establishment. those people, the big lobbiests i beat them 25 years ago and they resent it. it's great. they can have their opinions. i'm not even aggravated by it, but it means nothing to me. they are not out here. they are not in the arena. take a deep breath. >> what are you expecting to happen tomorrow on super tuesday? >> i think trump will probably win everything. maybe cruz will win in texas and then has to figure out how to head north with his message. we'll do okay but not great. this was never our plan. we have a campaign plan and then we campaign our plan. our hope now is that our belief is that we go north and you will begin to see things change. >> governor john kasich, we appreciate you being on new day. thanks so much. >> thank you. >>> the good stuff. that's next. stick around. you premium like clockwork. month

little marco rubio is another washington politician that is all talk and no action. and the florida senator hit back making fun of trump's unusual tan and says what is trump's small hands. >> he doesn't sweat because his hands are clogged from the spray tan he uses. donald is not going to make america great. he's going to make america orange. he is always calling me little marco. he is 6'2", which is why i don't understand why his hands are the size of someone who is 5'2". you know what they say about men with small hands. you can't trust them. you can't trust them. >> and new signs of republican panic in washington overnight. what might be called a disendorsement from senator ben sass. in a lengthy facebook post, he writes if trump wins the nomination, he will not vote for him. >> he is hugely popular. he campaigned all over iowa against trump. now he says he is in the never trump camp. he will not vote for trump if he is the nominee. interesting to see that. interesting to see how the party responds. >>> hillary clinton is campaigning fresh off her huge victory ove

republicans in washington, d.c. are starting to tell republican senators that they don't have to go to the convention if they are the nominee. they should think of running against you if you are the nominee. that combined with marco rubio doing the never trump hashtag. do you think republicans are violating the pledge? >> totally. if they want to play the game i can play it better than they k. and i have more people than they do. doing that is a total violation of the pledge, yes. >> how do you see this possible hypocrisy of the pledge? >> i think republicans are headed for a split whether trump is the nominee or not. this has gone so deep for so long. if trump is the nominee, there's no way on god's green earth that many rank and file republicans can vote for him or go to the convention or do the things they normally document if he's not the nominee, a lot of the voters will be so angry they will sit out the election. the republican party has a big, fat problem. >> already. brian, real quick. >> i was going to say,

in particular, you saw washington dealmakers -- it's washington dealmakers that have gotten us into this mess. donald promises more deals with democrats. he's contributed to jimmy carter, john kerry, hillary clinton, chuck schumer. he's someone who has funded years. one of the striking things. donald talks about immigration. in the 2013 battle over amnesty. when i was leading the fight against the rubio-schumer, gang of eight amnesty bill, and we defeated it in congress, donald trump was finding the gang of eight. five of the eight members of the gang of eight received from donald trump. you can't fund open border democrats and say you're going to secure the border and stop >> 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. stand unapologetica

they are fed up with washington. it is a change election. it is send a message to washington. we're sitting here with $19 trillion worth of debt. we haven't had a balanced budget in 15 years. we have people who are struggling, absolutely struggling -- >> would you like some water? >> she's preaching this sunday morning. >> i know! let me tell you, they're sick of the southern border not being secured. and they want to see some action. and so they're sending a message, and god bless the american people for standing up and saying, we're going to get this country back on the right track. >> here's the thing. you cannot beat donald trump playing defense. you can't say i'm here to defend. you have to play offense. you have to say i want to extend what the last president did. that's why bernie is actually drawing people to him and building a movement. your state's a great state. but you also know that no one else gets to camp out for a year in any state. what we're seeing right now in places like chicago, places like detroit, places like flint, we'll both be there next week, is ther

kathleen parker from "the washington post", jim warren from pointer, and molly hemingway, senior editor at the federalist. kathleen, is rubio trying to portray trump as a loser, something other candidates up until now have been maybe afraid to do? >> well, absolutely. and i'm delighted that e seems to have taken my advice because i wrote a column to that effect, but anyway, yes, basically what he's doing i think is going after trump. he's taunting him because the one thing a bully can't stand is to be taunted, and he's trying to get under trump's skin i think at a deeper level than anyone else has bothered to do previously and why not? trump has been throwing it at him pretty fiercely. he's returning the volley but he's also having a little bit of fun i think. it's a liberation moment for marco rubio who has been accused of being so robotic previously. it seems to be working too. trump cannot stand it and we'll see where it goes. we'll look forward to everyone getting back to being a little more presidential however. >> you think that will actually happen? >> will that actually happen?

amber phillips is a political reporter at the "washington post." thank you for joining me today. amber: happy to be here. fernando: thank you. so, can anyone stop trump? amber: i don' t know. right now it doesn' t look like it. donald trump has just dominated nevada, south carolina, new hampshire, and you know in the recent contest in nevada, he won nearly every single demographic that came out, possibly even -- although polls are shaky on this -- latinos. so going into super tuesday, he has the upper hand. i think the best chance that him on super tuesday is possibly ted cruz, if he can win texas, his own home state. and that fact that we are even talking about that may not even be a possibility for ted cruz says something about donald trump' s dominance. fernando: and what about marco rubio? he' s positioned himself as everyone' s second choice, but that doesn' t make him any body' s first choice, it seems, at least it' s not shown in the voting. what' s his strategy? how does he potentially compete? amber: well, his strategy, originally, was to get third in iowa where he wasn'

the fascinating governor of maine was at the governors meeting here in washington earlier this month and he was very fired up about the fact that something must be done. we have to take on donald trump. this is going to be terrible for our party. well, he's a big chris christie guy. when christie got on board late last week, lepage followed suit. there's no more revealing in the party than those ten days where paul lepage goes from that. they have been sounding the alarm for months about this, who have been pleading. yeah, jeb bush. >> walker. >> pleading with folks to raise money to try to go after trump to create some kind of a sustained organized campaign against him. it fell on deaf ears time and time and time again. and now you've got the spector of the senate gop considering not just separating themselves from trump but actively running ads against him to provide space for their own candidates who are going to be on the ballot this fall. mitch mcconnell is a very wily old pro is apparently determined to do whatever it takes to hold the majority. and that includes possibly runni

and i understand the anger towards washington. but that anger should be directed at the obama administration. their willingness to ignore the law. to do whatever they want by fiat. that is really where this fight needs to go is against the obama dmings. and if we nominate donald trump we are effectively continuing the obama administration in the face of hillary clinton. >> victor, let me come back to you. and of course there's been this call for donald trump to release his taxes. e heard that from ted cruz. but we heard something else. let's play that sound bite from yesterday from ted cruz. >> you know in the civil war you couldn't fight for the south and the north at the same time. it didn't work that way. they didn't make a musket with a barrel on both ends. page side. >> so ted cruz invoking the imagery of the civil war right in the deep south. to make a political point of course that brings up a the meerd of the painful and associations for people. >> i don't think he was doing it in that context at all. i think he was just s

ryan, former senior communicationings to mike huckabee is hogan gidley and in washington commentator van jones. thank you all for being here. hogan, let me begin with you. i want to read you something from a "new york times" piece. talks about mitch mcconnell. it said while he's begun preparing senators for the possibility of a trump nomination if it threatened to harm them in the general election they could run negative ads about mr. trump. let's step back and think about that. that is you know, the highest ranking mitch mcconnell saying that his fellow senators can run negative ads against the party's nominee. >> right. also make the comment that we drop him like a hot rock, i think is what he said. i want to know who the we is. the establishment? they have already gut punched the american worker time and time again. they hurt the republican party time and time again, so i'm not exactly sure where he's going. i understand he is trying to protect the senate but that's what makes donald trump so popular is that he's going against what they stand for. >> hurts them more. >> absolutely

it is the election, the primary for the democrats, ryan is with me, cnn commentator and washington correspondent at the new yorker. it's interesting, joe johns told us from one of the polling sites that it looked like to him, this is anecdotal, that voter turnout is very light. >> yeah. >> who does that help, hurt? granted, we don't have the numbers. >> look, so the conventional wisdom which has been wrong in this campaign, but i think it's right in this case, is lower turnout hurts bernie sanders. so, in a lower turnout election you have this core of the democratic party. people that vote in every election, and those voters so far in the first three states have been hillary clinton supporters. in iowa, the sanders campaign predicted that they would lose the campaign under a low turnout scenario. they would tie it under a little higher. and they would win it higher than that. >> this was iowa. >> iowa. and it was obviously in the middle. it was tied of it they nailed that. their projections have been more voters better for sanders, his two core constituencies are young people, millennials, and i

, it welcome contributes to the narrative of rubio being a washington insider. but there is of a different m magnitu magnitude. when you're endorsed by someone that stood next you to at a debate podium and sparred with you, you got in disagreements with and was on the campaign trail, when you're endorsed by snaun is your equal and colleague and says, yes, i wasn't the guy but there is the guy. i do think that is meaningful. i don't think it's going to, you know, make him rise more necessarily. but i do think in the marginal situations when you have a voter of massachusetts where trump is leading by 20 points saying to himself, you know, i do go with rubio or trump? maybe you think of new jersey governor chris christie and maybe that makes a difference? >> and ron, you made reference to the "new york times" piece entitled "inside the republican party's desperate mission to stop donald trump" writing this "the endorsement by mr. christie landed friday with crippling force. it was by far the most important defection to mr. trump's insurgency. mr. christie guy miff

i have to ask, did you meet kerry washington's mom? >> valerie, yes, valerie. >> jimmy: valerie, oh. >> she's a beautiful, wonderful >> jimmy: i would imagine she is, yeah. did she ask you if jon snow is dead? >> she -- she did, yeah. >> jimmy: she did, yeah. >> she did, everyone asks that. >> jimmy: everyone does. how many times a day would you say you get asked that? >> i kind of -- i kind of preempt it now. i kind of start, whenever i meet someone, i say "jon snow is dead." line? >> sometimes i'm in a shop and the poor person goes, "yeah, it will be $12.50." >> jimmy: wait a second, are you saying on the record jon snow is dead? >> he was stabbed 50 times in the heart. >> jimmy: okay. >> he's dead. you know. >> jimmy: but there are stranger things that happen on that show. in fact, there's a whole wall of heads that are alive. i mean, you know. >> got a good point, a good point. >> jimmy: it wouldn't be the biggest leap we've experienced on "game of thrones." >> spoiler. at the end of season five, he's dead. >> jimmy: he's dead, oka

donald trump represents strength and marco rubio represents washington, d.c. we don't need any more d.c. politicians. >> i want to talk about this nasty turn in the gop race with bob cussack, editor and chief of "the hill" and ari fleischer. ari, have you ever seen a day like today in politics before? these guys are trying to be president of the greatest country of the world. >> you really miss george w. bush now, don't you? i don't know whether to laugh or cry. the laugh part of me says look at the surge and turn out on the republican side in all four contests so far. >> there's a massive outpouring of people interested in this republican race maybe because they're not talking about political issues. the cry part is -- >> you said like normal -- i don't conduct myself. i don't know any of my co-workers conduct themselves at work. we thought we had seen it all in this campaign. everything sort of ramped up so much in this debate last night and then today. why is that, ari? >> don, here's the thing that you have to look at if you are a republican. there's a rea

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

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

>> i think it really comes down to the fact that washington has become so corrupt by the donor class and the special interest, and we need to fix it from the outside in instead of the inside. and donald trump is the only candidate in the race that isn't completely controlled by the washington to wall street axis of power. we need someone to go and shake things up and make significant changes. he's the only one that has the capability to do that. >> donald trump lives in a manhattan penthouse and doesn't like to spend the night outside of new york and he's not taking money from people outside of new york but he's as new york as it gets. ted cruz, of course, now famously said new york values to imp ply a lot of negative things about materialism and apply that to donald trump. you obviously don't think that is right. >> i don't. i think a lot of that is because he's been an executive. he's hired tens of thousands of american workers across the country. so he's been able to see how to create those jobs and the impact the decisions he makes has on their families. and the other guys on the

as wmur's sally kidd reports from our washington bureau, the polls are on clinton's side. reporter: hillary clinton is expected to win big with african-american voters. hillary clinton's stopped by a bakery in charleston, south carolina, to meet with voters of pound cake before moving onto virginia. voters in the peach state cast their ballots on super tuesday. >> you can count on me. i will never let the republicans repeal the affordable care act. reporter: clinton has a commanding lead over bernie sanders in georgia and she's expected to easily win south carolina on saturday. >> she beats him as badry as the polls suggest she might, the democratic race could wrap up quickly. reporter: spike lee is out thing his important of sanders. >> wake up, south carolina, this is your dude, spike lee. reporter: political observers say sanders is all but written off the palmetto state, instead looking ahead to super tuesday states. >> colorado is a big contest for bernie sanders. he's also looking at massachusetts. reporter: and minnesota, which also caucuses on tuesday. called upon

chris christie was frustrated at the republican establishment in washington, d.c. and the deep pocket of donors in new york who did not get behind him and went to marco rubio trying to, what he thought was gaming the same. chris christie joining trump right now is actually not too surprising. i also heard he is not that close to john kasich as much as we've been saying that. it made sense for him to go to donald trump. >> two sitting governors and christie decided to go with the billionaire businessman. ron, was today's endorsement just another hit for the republican establishment as it's called? at some point do they need to accept the idea of trump becoming the nominee? >> i think the republican establishment, they continue to be divided on this question. precisely on the point that chris christie raised. whether donald trump is their strongest candidate in november. donald trump embodies one-half of what's been a republican civil war about how you win back the white house after they've lost the popular vote in five of the past six elections. one school of though

we don't need anymore of these washington acts. the acts to get rid of are washington, d.c. acts and as a governor of a state capital i said we don't need somebody from washington, d.c. what i said in that campaign was the problem is washington, d.c. and we don't need washington politicians to fix it. and so when you look at who's remaining on the stage, no question this is the person who will go to washington, d.c. and be able to absolutely turn the place around. we don't need anymore washington politicians, especially some who have only been there for a term and never shown up for work to tell us how to run the united states government. and so, i absolutely believe that donald trump is the best person on that stage to be president of the united states. by the way, there was a period of time i was running against him. he knew i wanted to beat him. he wanted to beat me. we had open conversations about that. but that part of this is over. and then you have to say to yourself as a good, loyal, american who is the best person to stop hillary clinton from ever getting inside the

i will le illegal immigrants in washington, d.c. four bankruptciebankruptcies, a that sues everyone whenever they say something about him or point out his behavior, he will sue them. those are not attributes that ronald reagan ever had, and what they hear donald trump stands for in his own words and seeing it there, i don't know what took them so long. it should have been done six months ago. >> so jeffrey, how do you respond to that? because what tara said is true. there is a froaud case. he does have bankruptcies in his past. he did hire people from outside the country. >> over americans. >> look, they're part of the price of doing business. now has he made mistakes in his business career, sure. but how many businesses has rubio owned. how many people has he employed. when you're looking at marco rubio, he has never hired anybody for a job for an official public sector, the public trough if you will in his life. this is what he does. >> okay, so donald trump is a businessman, right? so how is he going to stop other businessmen fro

he is promising if he's elected, he will go and cut deals in washington. he's right. he has supported deals. he's given hundreds of thousands of dollars to democrats. anyone who really cared about illegal immigration wouldn't be hiring illegal immigrants. anybody who really cared about illegal immigration wouldn't be funding harry reid and nancy pelosi, wouldn't be funding the gang of eight. >> ted cruz, theory of the case last night was very clear. donald trump is not a conservative and if you put him into a general election, he makes this party vulnerable. did it stick? well, let's get some confirmation this morning from ted cruz's communications director alisilailson stoord se. >> you've got it right. >> whoo. >> he has a lifetime of donating to candidates. as ted cruz did last night, held him accountable. asked him the questions directly and he did as he always does, he calls him a liar, changes the jikt, attacks the merger, and i think it was quite effective. we did learn last night on several fronts, donald trump supports socialized medicine. he has always suppo

we're live in washington. >>> how about getting our surf on. fearless wave riders hanging ten on some massive waves. many have been waiting for. >>> and we say good morning on this friday morning. we'll start with the breaking details about the rampage in kansas by one count, the nation's 33rd mass shooting so far this year. >> heavily armed officers with guns drawn flooded the area around the lawn mower plant. one of the workers had already killed three and wounded more than a dozen people killed by police. >> the frightening incident playing out in hesston, kansas and abc's clayton sandell is there. >> reporter: police say 38-year-old cedric ford started shooting at random drivers shooting two before he headed to excel where he worked. >> to have something like this is frajic. >> reporter: he heads inside armed with a rifle and handgun and opens fire on his co-workers. >> i saw people running out pop, pop, pop is all i heard and of the building. i didn't realize what happened until i saw wounded people coming out. >> reporter: police and witn

we're live in washington. >>> how about getting our surf on. fearless wave riders hanging ten on some massive waves.

i've done it in washington. i've done it in ohio, and i can go back to washington and do it again, but i also hope you notice tonight that i do have the foreign policy experience, not just a few years, but a lot of years, working with a lot of the great, great minds of this country to develop the firmness and the toughness to bring people together. i hope you would give me your vote. i would appreciate it very much, and we won't have to spend time figuring out what we will do. i will hit the ground moving and we will get america moving again. thank you all very much. [cheers and applause] >> senator rubio? >> thank you for having us tonight. you know, this campaign has come a long way. it was just a few months ago there were 15 or 11 of us on the stage, and it's narrowing. the time for games is over. i know you've had a lot of choices to make, but now it's time to narrow it down. and i'm asking you to get behind me. go on our website and join our effort, marco rubio.com so we can bring an end to the silliness, t
