trump, and taking him on in a donald trump way. he calls donald trump a con artist, but that's in response to donald trump calling him a choke artist. donald trump calling ted cruz a liar. a fraud, and ted cruz should be ashamed he doesn't picked up any endorsements in the senate. that's just what popped in my head right now. a longer list. can you acknowledge that donald trump started this? >> well, you have to admit, if somebody is losing their state by 18 points, they're going to pull out all the stops and say obviously america is not responding to my message, you know, as a politician. we're going to adopt somewhat of the donald trump. it's too late. too late. i believe people have made up their mind. they say in florida today, less than 5% of the public still on the fence. it's a done deal. so again, donald trump is going to be the republican nominee. and as we take the fight to what we think will be hillary clinton, the future of our country is at stake. >> just quickly, last question. do you know of any other members of cong

trump, the big news, donald trump, projected to win the nevada caucuses. let's go to jim acosta now if we can, who is at trump headquarters in nevada. new hampshire, south carolina, nevada, donald trump the winner, we're projecting him this evening. >> reporter: that's right. and now we can say donald trump has won a caucus in edition to those two prime areas and as you were saying there were those organizational problems in iowa. that did not happen here. when you talk to the top trump campaign officials they felt like when they were looking at the landscape of nevada all day long, precinct after precinct they were seeing the same results. it was just donald trump dominating across the state, across multiple sites across the state. you were talking about super tuesday, they are very confident from inside the trump campaign. i can tell you from talking to the trump campaign manager, corey, they feel like they are built for a national campaign, they have staff and volunteers in 20-plus states and building on top of that and so for people who think donald tr

the great donald trump. the great donald trump. [applause] donald trump: by the way, i'm very proud of the fact that i have spent less money than just about anybody else on the campaign. i'm going to start spending a lot for two reasons. number one, i don't want to take any chances. number two, i feel guilty because when jeb has now spent $119 million or some ridiculous number and much of it is theyrked to me, ads, cannot be very good because every time he takes an ad, my numbers go up. it is a crazy deal.

and the only candidate that has beaten donald trump, the only candidate that can beat donald trump is me. more and more republicans are recognizing donald trump is not the right person for us to nominate. if we come together and stand united on super tuesday, we'll have a good election. >> donald trump is winning among conservatives. winning among your strong base of evangelical christians. >> i think the debate last week differences. 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 great donald trump. the great donald trump. [applause] donald trump: by the way, i'm very proud of the fact that i have spent less money than just about anybody else on the campaign. i'm going to start spending a lot for two reasons. number one, i don't want to take any chances. number two, i feel guilty because when jeb has now spent $119 million or some ridiculous number and much of it is theyrked to me, ads, cannot be very good because every time he takes an ad, my numbers go up. it is a crazy deal. [laughter] donald trump: nationally, i am leaving every poll. honestly, other than iowa. i'm leading the states, leading here tremendously. but every single national poll, i am leaving. and just about every state poll, i am leading. i spent the least and i have the best result. [applause] donald trump: isn't that nice? others like jeb and a couple of others have spent the most, and they have the worst result. how can you put them in charge? think of this. we have a school system. we are getting rid of common core, by the way. [ap

than donald trump? we don't know. but he's clearly hiding something. on the other hand, i i could be donations to liberal groups like planned parent hood. at every debate, it seems, he's praising them. maybe he's written them a bunch of@ checks. maybe other issues. there have been multiple media reports about donald's business dealings with the mob, the mafia. maybe those tax returns show his -- >> with the maf wra? >> indeed, abc has reported that. you have reported he's done deals with s & a concrete, owned by two of the big crime families in new york. we don't know. but the important point is, hillary clinton is going to shine a light on all of this. republican primary voters deserve to know. and the media will amplify the democrat attacks. the primary voters deservrv to know, if there's a scandal, if there is, as midtt romney put it, a bomb shell in donald trump's candidates, the voters deserve to know. >> republicans are getting nervousnd some are calling on you, representative franks, from arizona

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

mark: donald trump's king at the south. he's strong not just in the horse race, but the voters don't consider him the most conservative and yet they still give him the lead. attempts to paint him as less conservative will not have an effect on his standing. he beat the individual candidates head-to-head. that undermines the argument, donald trump over ted cruz. over rubio, 48-44. john: if you look at this poll, and it's hard to poll a whole bunch of states together. it's a very complicated business with all the southern states. it's true what you said, it's not just that he is ahead by so much, it's the ways in which he is ahead. donald trump holds a commanding lead over these other guys. it's possible that ted cruz could pick up a state, marco rubio could get a bunch of delegates and some of the states. it's hard to escape the conclusion that donald trump will be the big winner in the south on march 1. john: it's a very conservative part of the country. the mountain west as well. apparently they like new york values here i

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

in 1999, donald trump was pro choice. and ted cruz has the absolute right to show that and let the voters decide whether donald trump is being honest then, being honest now or why he changed his position over the years if he is being honest now. that is very, very fair comment and for a guy like donald trump who says he's so tough and he can't even take, you know, seeing himself 19 years ago, 17 years ago, you know, shows he's not that tough at all. so this is just part of -- to me, like a goon squad mentality that donald trump has. when you see something he doesn't like, he's going to bring a lawsuit, you can't show it. in a free society, in a democracy, i've been in campaigns, many of them over years. people say a lot of things about you. some true, not untrue. this is true. and a lot of times you just have to explain why you said something in the past. apparently, donald trump doesn't want to do that. so, again, this is part of the heavy-handed tactics he's been using. and it shows, again -- like i've said, he's always

i think the answer is a vote for donald trump is not really about donald trump. i think that there is a deep well of people who are so angry at the status quo that the washington establishment seems to work for washington but it doesn't work for them. there's a lot of that vote on here. you find it on the back rows in the old towns where the plants are closed. i think you will see a lot of that vote come out for donald trump and it is a way to send a message to washington. they seem to be doing it tonight in record numbers >>> you think the turn out this time from what you're understanding, the turn out is pretty strong >> a couple of things. 59,000 absentee ballots today. in the republican primary, that is roughly how many votes were cast in both the democratic and republican primaries in 20088 and 12. we have seen areas that have doubled up their numbers by noon. so doubled their number by 3 o'clock. clearly we will see a record turn out. well over 700,000 people >>> it has been a nasty campaign. you see a lot of the moderates going after each other, ted cruz,

than donald trump? >> on social security? absolutely not. >> you do not believe you can solve the problem of social security by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. >> no. that was a bigger issue. his answer was on paying for a tax cut. that was not just on social security. it was on paying for a tax cut. >> he said that on social security many time. i want to get to national security. you made that a central issue of your campaign. one of the issues of donald >> the idea of banning all muslims from this country is ridiculous. the reason it's ridiculous is because you don't have to do that to make america safe. when donald trump said that, he was dead wrong. he's dead wrong now. >> is he dead wrong now? >> he's backed off of that position. >> only for citizens. >> well, that's a big difference, george. >> he's still banning muslims from coming into the united states. >> it's a big difference from where the position was. let me answer. what we need to do is have a coherent national security policy that i

do you try to go after donald trump or even talk about donald trump's record? or do you continue kind of aiming fire at each other? >> the thing that's really tricky this late in the game is that you really have to define donald trump as a person. before previously, earlier debates may have been the time to go after him on smaller, ticky tacky issues. but right now with super tuesday right around the corner, i think you have to go right at donald trump's credibility possibly as a commander in chief, which is a tricky thing to do. it has to do with his character, his temperament. can he use some of these smaller issues, like his tax returns, that he's not being up-front or disclosing things, that he might be hiding something to get there, possibly? but it's going to be tricky, that's why the stakes in this debate have so high. >> anderson, i just think that -- >> go ahead. >> i think at this point, after all of these debates and the results that have come in, in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, nevada, boy, what more is there to be said here? i think people

margaret hoover says it is not about beating donald trump, it is all about blocking donald trump. >> donald trump has disrupted the playbook making it so important and interesting every single moment of the next week. john berman in houston for us. thank you. go get a cup of coffee. >>> new information this morning. president obama's pick to fill the supreme court vacancy could be someone the republicans will have a tough time refusing. that's next. pure is big, bold and just better. pure is mccormick. the smallest pinch of pure mccormick can make meals legendary. we want to help you realize the rich taste that pure can bring. because pure tastes better. the rich taste that pure can bring. it takes a lot of work... but i really love it.s. i'm on the move all day long... and sometimes, i just don't eat the way i should. so i drink boost® to get the nutrition that i'm missing. boost complete nutritional drink has 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d to support strong bones and 10 grams of protein to help maintain muscle. all with a great taste. i don't p

donald trump. this is why you see, you know, i think some of them staying in. i'm not going to be surprised if we hear they're beginning to talk to each other, particularly the rubio and cruz camps. you're not seeing rubio attack cruz anymore, if you've noticed. and i think the way they're decided to stop him is at the convention, and although it could be done by the rules, it sounds unthinkable. i mean, it sounds like it would be just a crazy act, and they would lose his supporters. but when they look at the map, they believe that by hanging together that could be possible. neil: wow. a.b., thank you very much. good seeing you again. >> thank you. neil: it is rare for this guy to step his toes in political waters. he fights battles in the supreme court and wins, but by and large, he is dedicated to running his business. what does it say when a man of god who sticks to his view of things and doesn't budge enters the political fray to say enough is enough when it comes to donald trump? hobby lobby f

he basically was donald trump in texas before donald trump was what he is nationally. and they love him here. i think he's going to do well. i think he needs to go after donald trump specifically on foreign policies and specifics of his plans. grand ideas of i'm building a wall or i'm going to do this or have the wiggebiggest military how are you going to pay with it? how are you saying you wouldn't pick one side over the other. israel is a side many conservatives say you should be in favor of them. i think that's where he has a chance to have headway today. >> and rubio tipped his hand that he's going to talk about that. ed, you're a texas insider. what about this new texas poll that shows cruz in front, what are his strengths and potential weaknesses here? he has the endorsement of greg and former governor rick perry on his side? >> not just as an outsider, also as the loyal opposition. i feel an obligation to point out cruz may seem popular. 28 38% means there are many not going for him. all the major papers have not endorsed cruz. they're endorsed other candidates.

. >> 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's hands. you know, when he first walked out here, wolf, donald trump started talking about our new cnn cnn/orc poll which shows him way out in front of the rest of the gop pack on a national basis. he referred to marco rubio at that point as little marco. so it just shows you how nasty and how personal this campaign has become. and he basically has been saying that marco rubio sweat so much during these debates that he can't even deal with the likes of vladimir putin, trying to make this sort of make a tie to foreign policy in these cutdowns in this war of putdowns between himself and marco rubio. as you just heard listening in just a few moments ago he's really going after hillary clinton as well. making a general election pivot in this campaign when he's talking about bernie sanders losing badly in south carolina over the weekend. he said bernie sanders is over unless hillary clinton is indicted. the tone you're hearing now, gop race will likely shift into the general election campaign mode

neil: donald trump's attacks -- you take -- >> i am not going to judge donald trump in terms of whether he is a christian or not. some of the things he does may not be suggestive of christianity but then again all of us have weaknesses and shortcomings. that is what it is all about. neil: kind of like for the pope, who are you to judge, very deft handling of that question. thank you very much. good talking to you, dr. ben carson. this is just coming from the new york times on the presidential race questioning the very pointed harsh criticism of donald trump's campaign for deporting more illegal immigrants. i don't know if it is a game changer, the environment and how we handle illegals and refugees in general. >> i don't see it putting up and in his support. the people who are supporting him for the most part have made up their minds, they like what he is saying and i just don't see a religious figure had changing their mind to specialty when the pope has been perhaps less reluctant to wait in on political matters. he spoke before congress. we have been hearing a lot of political talk,

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

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 if, i don't see how you stop him. >> a former romney advisor was saying that you, past is pro logged because what they're doing isn't working so far. >>

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

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 supreme court nominees. we need a president who will invest the political capital to defend your constitutional liberties. donald trump told us at the debate, he d

donald trump's momentum is going to feed -- i will tell you voters who don't like donald trump many of them are going to become resigned to the fact that he may be the nomination. that is a big dynamic and challenge that so many other campaigns are going to have to fight against. >> in terms of entuchl, there's a lot of enthusiasm for donald trump and if it's about getting new voters in, is there more enthusiasm on the republican side than the democratic side right now. >> there may be, but he's talking about how he's broken through, he hasn't broken through, he's broken through psyche lolgicily. you have a front-runner who was threatening to punch in the face at his own rally. why should we talk about it, he's done so many other crazy things. he gains momentum by lowering the resistance to outrageous stuff. >> punching is a softer verb. >> we have to take a quick break. more ahead. 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

donald trump, not christian? >> donald trump is a christian. he's made very clear his stance on supporting our conservative values. we christians will have a friend in the white house. he stood by that and i'm going to stand by the fact that he is a christian. i would n-- we're voting for th next president of the united states of america, so we can't expect donald trump -- he's not qualified to preach in anyone pulpit, but is he qualified to be the president of the united states? i absolutely think so. >> ben, the other day president obama said that donald trump -- now the pope is engaging with donald trump. did he just get elevated even further? >> getting headlines, the kardashians can get headlines. doesn't mean they're good people or we should be excited about what those headlines are. donald trump has a very unique dynamic now. he uses being a catholic as a negative against ted cruz, implying he wasn't an evangelical christian. he said, well, catholics come from cuba as if that is a negative thing to be catholic. you see it. i think that's

and that those people voted for donald trump. i think the other reality here with team trump is they are sick of this idea that second place or third place is a win. they want to come into first place in south carolina and leave here with momentum at their backs, headed into these s.e.c. primary states. wolf? >> let's go to sunlen serfaty at cruz headquarters now. he's in the top three, according to our early estimates, based on the exit polls, sunlen. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. and it will -- if cruz does pull off a second place finish here, this will certainly embolden his message going forward. and i think we'll see within the cruz campaign a lot of credit here potentially on his ground game here in south carolina. looking at the numbers, just yesterday alone, the cruz campaign tells me 12,000 volunteers on the ground, 63,000 phone calls. they knocked on 11,000 doors in a lot of part, they really wanted this state here in south carolina to emulate the ground game that they brought to iowa. they are potentially happy with

by donald trump. mr. trump, congratulations on your victory. did you ever think this was going to happen? >> well, it's been a really wonderful evening, jake. i thought i might, but i didn't know by these numbers. i was so happy. i just looked at your report, it was right across the board with men, with women, young and old, with everything. to win every single category was perhaps the greatest honor of all. >> and it looks like the voting results are still coming in, but it looks like this is the biggest victory in a republican primary since george w. bush lost to john mccain 16 years ago in new hampshire. how does it feel? >> i didn't know that number. that's a great feeling to know it's been that big of a victory. that's a lot of years. but i will tell you, it's just an honor to have won. i told you if i win by one vote, i'll be happy. but this makes me even happier, i will say that, jake. >> so if you look at the exit polls, you'll see that voters are looking at an outsider, they're mad at the rep

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 has only been about donald trump his entire career. all of a sudden, we're supposed to believe he has a public servant heart. he is exposed for the nhypocrit, -- >> what's going on here is that the republican establishment is in full panic mode. i might add, having been around at the time, they didn't like ronald reagan either. he was supposed to be a war monger, he was just an actor, had no business in the presidency, we've do been down this road before, and exactly the same reason. the republican establishment in trouble. they deserve to be in trouble. the american people in the republican party have had it. >> all right, i have to -- i have -- >> at least he had a record in government -- >> i have to leave it there. thanks to both of you. >> thanks, carol. >> you're welcome. still to come in the newsroom, joe biden apologizing to mexico for some republican presidential candidates. should he have done that? i'm here to get the lady of the house back on her feet. and give her the strength and energy to stay healthy. who's with me?! ya

donald trump. thanks for that. >>> let's turn to nbc's hall kwlee jackson, she is in san antonio, that is where ted cruz is holding one of three events in texas today. hallie, here he is ted cruz back in his home state on the eve of super tuesday. obviously texas is a must win state for him but even if he wins his home state is there a bigger picture strategy that will get him back into contention here? >> yeah, the goal, steve, you look at texas, ted cruz has to win here, there's a sense among the campaign that they will do something here. if you look at the polling, our latest nbc news polling it shows he is up by double digits over donald trump, 39% to 26%. that is consistent with what we've seen in other polls as well. it doesn't appear to be an outlier. the question, though, is let's say he wins texas, is that enough, where else could he potentially win? just look at his travel schedule, he has spent a lot of time in arkansas, he's spent time in oklahoma. these are places where the campaign fe

beat donald trump. >> reporter: after betting big on a south carolina comeback, jeb bush's distant fourth place finish ended his white house 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. 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 momentum. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: back in south carolina, donald trump showed remarkable strength across the board. even winning evangelicals over ted cruz. and so far, trump has won 44 of the state's 50 delegates. the remaining six could still go his way.

trump in fact, helps donald trump. that it sort of elevates him, puts him on the world stage and for his supporters, confirms what they already believe. >> he says he's going to bring back america to what it was? that's crazy. never before america, the united states was so big, so strong, so powerful, so successful as it is today. he's going to take that nation back to the old days of confl t conflict, war and everything. he reminds me of hitler the way he's starting to speak. >> you are really saying he reminds you of adolf hitler? >> i say that he reminds me of hitler. going to use the power to do what he like without considering that he has a congress and a congress of republicans and democrats, that he has a judiciary, government, a very -- and that is a democracy that should be the example of the rest of the world. he's behaving very, very, very poorly. >> president vicente fox. i appreciate you talking with us. thank you. >> thank you. >> that's not going to settle the argument. john king joins my with trump supp

donald trump and me. we are the only candidates have been donald trump and the only candidate that can be donald trump. >> it doesn't go to a two person race that they are afterwards? >> we will see what the results are but we will come out of supertuesday seeing a meaningful difference in the delegate allegation and look at republican primary voters, 65% of primary voters nationwide don't believe donald trump is the best candidate to go head to head with hillary. we saw why last night. donald trump and hillary's policy views on issue after issue are in distinguishable on foreign policy. donald trump agreed with hillary on the catastrophic libya policy that led to ben dr. oz, handing that country to radical islamic terrorists. donald trump agreed with hillary supporting john kerry, and the disastrous foreign policy of john kerry has dramatically undermined the nation of israel. donald trump on foreign policy agreed with hillary clinton that america should be neutral between israel and the palestinians. i

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

all four candidates not named donald trump know this could be last chance to notch donald trump off his perch. ted cruz and marco rubio are second and third place with john kasich and ben carson in single digits. it is not the polls that matter at all. trump has won three contests in a row. he is pulling ahead due to vote next tuesday, super tuesday. all the other candidates swear they could beat trump if only they could get him one-on-one. >> donald is formidable. they are furious with washington and politicians in both parties that have been lying to them. i think donald's support is manifestation of that. what the polling shows is head-to-head, donald against me, we would beat him handily. 56 to 40. >> the biggest change in the campaign is going to be when the people not named donald trump, the choices begin to narrow and we start to give the republican voters a clearer choice. >> with fewer candidates, i think maybe there's a possibility, i'm not sure it will happen, but a possibility people may actually start getting interested in the real solutions to the problems. >> by the way,

donald trump, erin. he had some zingers for marco rubio because he says marco rubio has supported amnesty and that he is lying about it. again the word lie, lie, lie comes up. it is just the way it is between these two fellows now because they have to fight each other in order to fight donald trump. >> it doesn't seem deeply personal. i understand that this is politics. >> politics is personal though. >> it feels very personal. you don't use the word liar when you like someone and you think they're not being fully honest. you see dishonest or not telling the truth. you don't say you're a liar. >> or he's stretching the truth or that's not what i said. the stakes are really high right now. these two men know that only one of them will survive to fight trump. and south carolina is so important to both of them, and they're both trying to appeal to a very conservative block of the republican electorate. now, rubio is trying to straddle that, some moderates, some conservative conservativ conservatives. cruz i

donald trump and us. and the undeniable reality that the first four states have shown is that the only campaign that has beaten donald trump and the only campaign that can beat donald trump is this campaign. >>> cnn politics reporter joins us now from washington. let's bring up those numbers again because it is just intriguing. let's bring up those numbers. there they are as we watch ted cruz and marco rubio vie for this second place position. ted cruz 23.7%, marco rubio 23.4%. how long will it take do you think before the count is done and we will know who has taken the second place? >> well i've been watching these returns all night and the polls closed a few hours ago at 9:00 p.m. pacific time and since then we've only gotten less than 40% of the votes counted so there's a got chance that this is going to take some time and what you're seeing is when these leads change we're talking about less than 100 votes right now separating them and you might get in a precinct that's a suburban area for a major ce

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
