Reporter now, the countrys two most powerful republicans delivering an extraordinary rebuke of their partys let me make it perfectly clear.

And senator ted cruz saying hes the only person who has beat trump in the past, and he will beat him in the future.

Im just speaking out against bigotry and bullying wherever i hear it, and i hear a lot of it from the republican candidates. They seem to have completely forgotten about issues and they are running their campaigns based on isults. Reporte clinton even ripping on Trumps Campaign slogan. What we need to do together is make america whole again. Reporter but the man on the receiving end, saying bring it on. But i havt even started on hillary yet. Hillary cannot make america great.

Reporter thats right, david. They believe Bernie Sanders will win some states, but they are feeling confident. We have learned that bernie 42 million in the month of february alone. That is more than marco rubio has raised this entire campaign so far. But one clinton aide telling me tonight, it is not about raising money tonight, it is about winning tell gases. All right, cecilia say fwa with us. Thank you. Lets get right to george stephanopoulos, who will be leading our coverage in primetime tonight, and george, first up, the republicans. So many asking, is trump unstoppable . So, bottom line, what are we watching tonight . Reporter no question, david, hes going to win most of the states and most of the delelates tonight. But the question is, are marco rubio, ted cruz and even john kasich going to do well enough in some states to find a reason to stay in and then what kind of signal is that going to send to the rest of the Republican Party . Weve seen the party really splitting apart over the trump question. Some coming around to accepting the fact hes going to be the nominee. Some resisting it, being partal of this never trump movement. Trump will be the frontrunner at the end of the night, but will he be firmly in command of the gop . Big question, and a similar what are you watching there . Reporter shell have big wins in the south, no question about that. Strong with the africanamerican vote. And cecilia just talked about, though, would Bernie Sanders do well enough in those other states outside of the south, places like massachusetts, minnesota, maybe even oklahoma, well enough to give him momentum and prevent Hillary Clinton from turning her sights fully on dounld donald trump or the republicans after tonight .

Reporte well, the biggest thing to watch ic the state of texas. The single biggest delegate prize tonight. 155 delegates. Thats ted cruzs home state. He absolutely must win there. But it is also an essential if he falls below 20 , he can be shut out and not get a single degasde delegate out of texas. They have to find somewhere else to beat trump. The best prospects for that will be somewhere in t t south, for ted cruz, hes predicated his whole campaign on winning in the south. For marco rubio, hes worked very hard in the state of virginia, campaigned there in the final days. And also in the stata of minnesota. The only state on here, david, that donald trump did not even visit. So, thats the look on the republican side. All right, but the big state of texas, well be watching for all the republican candidates there. Meantime, on the democratic side, jon, what are you watching . Reporter well, the democratic side, Bernie Sanders cant afford to watch Hillary Clinton romp through the south the way s s did in south carolina. She trounced him in south carolina, and now, you have all south carolinas neighbors voting. She needs to find a way to either beat Hillary Clinton down there or at least remain close. All righgh jonathaha karl with us tonight. Jon, well be back with you throughout the night. In the meantime, we want to get to Abcs Paula Faris at trump headquarters in palm beach, florida, night. What is the mood ththe . You have word about a tweet sent by trump . Reporter yes, we do. And to give you a sense how confident donald trump is today, he was in ohio before heading to florida, a little bit later tonight. David, none of these are super tuesday states. So, that should tell you, hes forward thinking. Trump got in hot water earlier this week, ifou remember, for retweeting a mussolini quote. Look what he posted today. Trump at a huge rally, attached to it, a quote from gandybegangandhi that says, first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Tom was a very honest man. A very caring man who was always interested in what the other person had to say
