Donald trump. Today, the race was jolted by an impeccably timed bombshell when Trumps Campaign was validated by one of the last people you might have expected. Heres major garrett. There is no one who is better prepared to provide america with the strong leadership that it needs, both at home and around the world, than donald trump. Reporter Chris Christie saidth donald trump is the bestla candidate to take on Hillary Clinton and praised his executive experience. Hell provide strong,le unequivocal leadership. Ha he will do what needs to be done to protect the american people. Reporter but when he was a candidate, christi questionedfo trumps fitness for the white house. We are not electing an entertainerinchief. Showmanship is fun, but its not the kind of leadership that willha truly change america. Reporter the highprofile endorsement turned attention away from last nights debate when, for the first time, marco rubio, trailing trump in his home state of florida, pummeledll the billionaire frontrunner with personal and policy heres a guy that inheriteda 200 million. If he hadnt inherited 200io million, you know where donald trump would be right now . Selling watches in manhattan. You hired some workers from poland. Im the only one on the stage thats hired people. You havent hired anyone. Let me finish the statement you havent hired one person. He hired workers from poland and he had to pay 1 million in a judgment. Wrong, totally wrong. Reporter after the debate, trump told us this about rubio. The guys a choke artist. I watched him melt four weeks ago with Chris Christie. I never saw anything like it. He melted. Reporter trump continued the theme on twitter with thisev never let them see you sweat depiction of rubio and stage makeup and at his press conference. But i saw him backstage and he was putting it on with a trowel. Reporter on cbs this morning, rubio trotted out his own new attack line. Donald trump is a con artist. A con artist is about to take over the Republican Party. But not a con artist like donald trump. Reporter at a rally in even more. He mocked trumps tweets by trumps misspelling. Lightweight chocker marco rubio looks like a little boy on stage, not president ial material. He meant to say lightweight, buty he spelled it leight, he got that wrong. Reporter he then resorted to toilet humor. Then he asked for a full length mirror. I dont know why, because the podium goes up to here. But he wanted a fulllgthro mirror. E maybe to make sure his pants werent wet. Reporter trump hit back,d imitating rubios 2013 state ofis the Union Response when he interrupted his speech to take ak, drink of water. Its rubio cheers reporter the attacks have led many in the republicanpu establishment to throw up their hands in dismay, as former candidate Lindsey Graham did last night. My party has gone bat bleep crazy. Reporter late today, maines trump, arguing donald trump could be one of americas great president s if he put together a good team. Scott, trump left open putting christie on that team, either as a running mate or a cabinet member. Pelley major garrett, thanks. P Bob Schieffer has been watching all of this play out today, and hes joining us right now. Bob. Reporter well, scott, i mustco tell you, i thought things couldnt get lower than theyd already reached in this campaign. I mean, the political discourse, but last night it went even below where i thought it could possibly go. I mean, no discussion of the issues, but people arguing, screaming, hollering. It was like kids out behind the barn rather than a political debate. And then, as he always does, donald trump has this tremendousec ability to change the subject. He rolls out Chris Christieo. Today and suddenly, that debateab seems like it was years ago. Were talking about Chris Christie. Ft pelley after 2012, bob, the Republican Party realized it broader electorate, includingca hispanics and african americans. What happened to that effort . Well, ill tell you, that is what is bothering a lot of traditional republicans. Donald trump gets big applause when he talks about building that wall along the border with mexico, but what some republicans are beginning to wonder is, is he really building a wall around the Republican Party, making it impossible forch the party now to reach out andba to try to broaden its base. Hispanics are the largest growing segment of our society, and trump seems to be trying to run them off with all of this talk. He says that hispanics love him, but the polls dont back thisba up. And i think i think this is the problem that is reallyw. Bothering republicans now. Ive got to tell you, scott. Pa if they try to run a campaigneo that appeals only to people who look like me, that is going to pelley Bob Schieffer, on the campaign trail with us for 2016, bob, thanks so much. , thank you, scott. Pelley now to the democrats on the eve of their South Carolina primary. Heres nancy cordes. Hey, guys he reporter the republican freeforall overshadowed everything the democrats dide today, and that was just fine with them. Nt in a statement, the Democratic National committee snickered, aas a superpac supporting clinton released this picture of a seal overcome by laughter. Ot this was sanders in minnesota. Le o there are some people out there, people like trump and others, who want to divide us up. They think they can get votes by making bigoted and racist remarks about latinos, or telling us that were supposed to hate muslims. Reporter but democrats admit trump would be an unpredictable general election opponent. How do you go up against a candidate like trump . Whenever you hit him, he hits back twice as hard. This is going to be a choice for us as american people. Do we want someone who divides g or someone who unites . Reporter but as a clinton supporter, he knows if she and trump are the nominees it will not be pleasant. He will go after her constantly,y, scott, over benghazi and her e mails, another 1,500 pages ofs her emails are coming out this evening. Pelley nancy cordes for us tonight. Nance, thank you. In another important story, we learned today what may have set off the gunman who shot up that factory in kansas where he worked. More than a dozen coworkers wered hit and three of them died. Renee benjamin, joshua higbee, and brian sadowsky. The rampage yesterday began onon the road to the factory, and Manuel Bojorquez is in hesston, kansas. My car stopped. He was already out of the car and had this big machine gun. Reporter edna decker was one of 38yearold cedric fordset first targets. Angry. Or reporter he tried to carjack her, but shot and missed. I could have been his first victim. That died, because it was directed right at my head. Reporter you ducked just in time. Yeah, i did. Ep reporter just up the road, ford shot and carjacked another person, then drove that car tos, his job, excel industries, in hesston. Inside this building, armed with an Assault Rifle and a pistol, he shot 14 coworkers, killing three of them, until police gunned him down. Just 90 minutes before the shooting, ford had been served with a protective order taken out by his former girlfriend who wrote, authorities believe the protective order triggered fords actions. Video from his facebook account appears to show him firing a gun. Ford has a criminal record. Are looking into whether he legally obtained the weapons. T. Walton is the Harvey County sheriff. This man was not going tono st shooting. The only reason he stopped shooting is because that officer stopped the shooter. Reporter and it wasnt just an officer. It was the towns police chief, doug schroeder. Kansas governor, sam brownback. Rather than waiting on backup, he went right in and did heroic duty and service. Reporter when the police chief stopped the attack, there were still 200 to 300 people inside the building behind us. Scott, late this afternoon, officials said they would charge a kansas woman for giving ford the weapons, knowing he was a convicted felon. Pelley Manuel Bojorquez in kansas tonight. Manuel, thank you. We learned today that thern Governors Office in michigan was concerned about the Drinking Water in flint long before the public was told of dangerous lead contamination. Dean reynolds found the proof in reporter problems surfaced soon after the city, underm orders from a government appointed emergency manager, switched its water from lakero huron to the heavily industrial flint river. It was cheaper that way, but the water was discolored and foulan smelling, and people got sick. Jim ananich is a state senator. Time and time again, members of the highest level of the government have clearly been just lying to the citizens of flint and to everyone else. On reporter and now emails from governor rick snyders own aides showed they knew too the water was bad early on. In october 2014, a half yearde into the plan, snyders policy adviser, valerie brader, wrote that elevated chlorine levels could cause longterm damage if not remedied. Michael gadola, the governors legal assistant, responded, the states water qualitype experts insisted the river water but independent researchers said the heavily treated river water was so corrosive, lead from aging pipes was leeching intofo the water for homes. Today, a contrite snyder held a press conference. There were red flags in these emails if you look at it and beyond emails. We didnt connect all the dots that i wish we would have. Or reporter Melissa Mays Wasfi among the first to complain about the water here. When you read the emails today, how did you feel . Furious. I keep telling myself, nothings going to shock you anymore. All this time, these people sat in the office going back andhe forth emailing about this butbo nobody stood up and helped us. Reporter Governor Snyder today authorized a 30 million aid package to help Flint Residents pay at least a portion of the water bills theyre still getting. Scott, as he put it, people shouldnt have to pay for water they cannot drink. Pelley Dean Reynolds in flint. Dean, thank you. Tonight a partial ceasefire is supposed to take effect in if it does, it would be the first in the fiveyearold civil war there, but no ones holding out hope. We do know the guns will be quiet in one town south ofe, damascus because there is no one left to kill. Its rare for western reporters t to get into syria, but ours Elizabeth Palmer traveled there today. Reporter the drive in tokh Sheikh Miskeen is nonstop wreckage, and when you stop, theres silence. Before the war, 30,000 people lived here. Now, no one is left. Opposition fighters, a whole o collection of groups working together, were so entrenched here that the syrian army simply couldnt advance into the town. It was a stalemate that lasted a whole year, until they called in the russian bombers. Wave after wave of air strikes, starting in december, followedyria retreat. The today, there are a few Soldiers Left guarding the ruins as the battle has moved on. The two friends who were killed. Jafar oleyan is an infantry soldier. G . I cant even describe it, he says. The rebels had the advantagee because they knew the terrain. You must be tired, though . Oh, yes, he says we are so tired. Victory has brought a lull for these men and some time to regroup, but what if their lullre was replaced by a genuine truce . Put your hand up if you think it has a good chance. Yeah . Yeah, they are ready for this peace. Ey they are reporter ready for the peace. But one soldier adds, if we see isis or alnusra, we will kill them all. Like his country, syria, hoping for peace but braced for a lotar more war. Here in syria, scott, and so, technically, this partial cease fire is in effect, but its far too early to know where or even if its going to take hold, and, of course, how long it will last.

Recycles metals. Every day. Heaps. And heap. Of metals. They say the number of copper thefts in the area seems to be dropping off.
