This evening, and the big question can any of Donald Trumps opponents take him down before super tuesday, just five days away now. Tonight, trump already taking aim, not just at his rivals, but at a former president ial candidate, mitt romney, after romney predicted a bombshell involving Donald Trumps taxes. Romney, of course, faced his own questions about taxes during his run. And tonight, the former president of mexico, unloading on trump, and trumps insistence that mexico would pay for that wall on the border. And a telling new poll this evening from marco rubios home state of florida. Trump with a crushing lead, 44 to rubios 28 . Abcs Jonathan Karl in houston at the debate tonight. Reporter for his rivals, tonight just might be the last big chance to stop donald trump. We werent expected to win too much and now were winning, winning, winning the country. Taking heat from across the border. Fox slamming trump as a crazy guy and a false prophet. As for that wall . Im not going to pay for that [ bleep ] wall. He should pay for it. Hes got the money. Reporter trump, whos been dinged for his own foul language i would bomb the [ bleep ] out of them. I was going to say, theyre full of [ bleep ], but i wont say that. And you can tell them to go themselves. Reporter is now tweeting, former president of mexico horribly used the fword when discussing the wall. He must apologize. Trump could get dinged on something else, too. His tax returns. He wont release them before super tuesday. And the last republican president ial nominee suggests hes hiding something. I think we have good reason to believe that theres a bombshell in Donald Trumps taxes. Either, hes not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is, or he hasnt been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay. Unleashed a barrage of insults on twitter. Calling romney awkward, goofy, a dope, and one of the dumbest and worst candidates in history. Trump also posted this photo of himself next to a tower of paperwork, with the caption, signing a recent tax return. Isnt this ridiculous . Tonight, ted cruz and marco rubio are increasingly desperate to kill each other off, but both are in danger of getting annihilated by the billionaire. Ill admit, hes the frontrunner, and im certainly an underdog. But ive been an underdog my entire life. We cant be fooled by pt barnum. The time for the clowns and the acrobats and the dancing bears has passed. And jon karl with us live tonight inside the debate hall in houston. And jon, we saw that poll in florida. Donald trump with a huge lead over marco rubio, in rubios home state. This has got to be alarming to team rubio. Reporter oh, it sure is, david. If marco rubio were to lose florida, his campaign would be over. They dont believe that poll is correct. In fact, top rubio adviser todd harris tweeted that, we are going to win florida, period, take it to the bank. But david, they are also preparing to take the fight for the nomination all the way to the Republican Convention this summer, because they believe theres a real possibility that nobody, not marco rubio, not donald trump, would get a majority of the delegates before then. All right, jon karl, well be watching right along with you tonight. Jon, thank you. Now, to the democrats, and just five days until super tuesday, as i pointed out earlier, and South Carolina, of course, right before it.

Reporter sanders recently telling me, he still has a path to the nomination. There are a number of people right now who say the math just doesnt add up for you, looking forward. How do you think you can win this nomination . Are you ready for this one . The answer is, by getting more delegates than my opponent. Get past South Carolina first. More delegates, his answer. Cecilia vega live in charleston tonight. And cecilia, Hillary Clinton seems to be spending a lot of time there in South Carolina, even though super tuesday looms large. Is this a calculation on the part of the campaign . Reporter it certainly is, david. And she has another event that starts here soon. She is hoping for a really big win on saturday, and with that, the momentum to propel her into next week. Looking ahead to super tuesday, david, she has visits to five different states between now and then. David . All right, cecilia vega, always great to have you. We turn now to a Major New Development in the standoff between apple and the fbi. Late today, word apple has now responded to a judges order that it break into that terrorists iphone after san bernardino. Apple refusing. Tonight, asking the judge to vacate the order. Apples move comes just 24 hours after our exclusive with apple ceo tim cook. We asked him, does he worry there could be information on that phone that could save lives . His answer here in a moment. And fiery moments on capitol the fbi director with his own words for apple. Abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas on the heated debate. Should apple break into that phone . Reporter tonight, apple defiant, arguing a judges order that apple help the fbi break into the San Bernadino terrorists iphone violates the constitution. Saying the fbi is seeking a, quote, dangerous power. The move comes less than 24 hours after apple ceo tim cook sat down for an exclusive interview with our david muir, revealing why they wont do it. This case is not about one phone. This case is about the future. What is at stake here is, can the government compel apple to write software that we believe would make hundreds of millions of customers vulnerable around the world, including the u. S. And youd have to write that system in order to unlock that phone. This is we have no more information about this phone. The only way to get information, at least currently, the only way we know, would be to write a piece of software that we view as sort of the software equivalent of cancer. We think its bad news to write. We would never write it. We have never written it. And that is what is at stake here. But in your quiet moments, do you have any concern that you might be able to prevent a terrorist attack by breaking into that phone . David, some things are hard, and some things are right. And some things are both. This is one of those things. Reporter but today on capitol hill, critics taking aim at apple. Fbi director james comey, just hours after tim cooks argument, testifying this is only about one phone. This is a single phone in a very important investigation, where the ask is, to write a piece of software that will work only in that phone. Right . Not in anybody elses phone. And you, apple, can hold the phone. I think apple leadership and i think tim cook is going to have a very hard time explaining why he stood in the way of justice on this issue. Reporter a question that we posed to cook. To some people at home, listening to this argument, who understand where youre coming from, who might say this was a terrorist attack on u. S. Soil, and that if ever there was a case that apple would make some sort of exception, that this might be that moment. Do you really want to plant the flag on privacy and safety on syed farooks iphone . I think safety of the public is incredibly important. Safety of our kids, safety of our families, is very important. The protection of peoples data is incredibly important. And, so, the tradeoff here is, we know that doing this could expose people to incredible vulnerabilities. This is not something that we would create. This would be bad for america. Reporter the Justice Department has just released a court. And we just spoke to a legal scholar who believes this case is destined for the supreme court. David . Perhaps all the way to the supreme court. Pierre thomas on this case again. Pierre, thank you. Now, to a new medical headline tonight, and to a breakthrough for women struggling to have a baby.

The First American recipient is 26 years old, part of a Clinical Trial to see, is it safe and effective . And Cleveland Clinic is going to do ten of these. A lot of hope right here in the u. S.

The Wildcreek Golf Course could soon have new owners. Why the Reno Sparks Convention authority wants out. And a new tax on medical devices is making some people angry. Whats being done to stop this new tax. Thanks for joining us. Im noah bond. The convention for a new owner for the Wildcreek Golf Course. The rscva says its been losing 150 to 200 thousand dollars a year, operating the course. And its value of an attraction for visitors, has declined. So today, the authoritys board weighed its options, rejecting the ideaat least for nowof selling the land for development, and deciding instead to try to find a new ownera decision that pleased wildcreeks neighbors, who feared a loss of property values. Lucey im pleased with the outcome. I think our board did a great job of giving direction not only to our staff and how were going to move forward. And they really heard from citizens today and made sure that was reflected in the direction that we take before us. The authority will apparently approach the county about the possibility of taking the course over. Lucey cautioned hes just one vote on the county commission. Its not known, what the other commissioners will feel, about the idea. In the meantime, the Convention Authority maintain, and operate the course. Meanwhile. A Road Construction project just down the road from the golf course, is about to get underway. In april the Regional Transportation Commission will begin work, to improve the intersecton of pyramid and mccarran. It took a few years, to finish preparing for the project. Rtc had to acquire, then demolish properties that will be paved over for the changes. It will take more than a year to complete that phase of the plan. The project, we expect once we get started out here will be about 20 months in duration. Will be traffic controls the entire time. Some time crews will be doing some off road work. Harrington says the best way to stay controls as they happen, is to check the rtc facebook page. Of course youll also find the information here on kolotv. Along mobile aps.
