Im not a politician, i guess now i am, but im not. You are a president thinking about donald trump. Friends do not let friends vote for con artists. If you want someone to stand up to washington, ask yourself who has stood up to washington. Tonight the battle lines get drawn all over again. In nbc news, decision 2016, super tuesday, heres lester holt. Good evening, good to have you here with the polls closed in almost all the super tuesday states, im joined by my colleagues. We want to get straight to the results, starting with the gop race and the biggest prize tonight, the state of texas. On the republican side, ted cruz wins in his home state. Texas. In oklahoma tonight, cruz also the projected winner. In georgia, donald trump is the also in the trump column is virginia tonight, a win for trump there. And massachusetts, donald trump also the projected winner. Lets move over now to the democratics, lets go to chuck todd before i move on to the democratic side about what weve seen here right now. Especially texas. Does that change the dynamics of the republican race . I think it does. I think heres what we can definitively say. A very good night for donald trump, a very bad night for marco rubio, and a survivor night for ted cruz. He had to win his home state. Oklahoma was tailor made for him. One of the few primary states where no independents could vote. The big story is marco rubio got his one on one opportunity with trump over the last 72 hours. And it failed miserably. Were going to get to the democratic proprojections. Donald trump is speaking at a News Conference in florida. Lets listen to what he has to say. All talk, no action. He hasnt won anything. And he actually hasnt come very close. So well see what happens. Yes, go ahead. Go ahead. Were going to monitor that News Conference, lets take you through the democratic results. And well start again in the state of texas where nbc news projects Hillary Clinton wins tonight in texas. In virginia, the democratic primary there, another one for Hillary Clinton tonight. In georgia, clinton and her southern Firewall Holding together, she wins in georgia as well. In vermont, Bernie Sanders home state, he is property jekted ed projected winner, also oklahoma, Bernie Sanders the projected winner. Aerowe are going to go to Savannah Guthrie to understand also i mention the southern firewall is holding together. Bernie sanders, two important wins. How much does this make his path to the nomination difficult . Its tough because he has this great strength in the demographic roots that are a part of Democratic Party going forward. Already weve heard from her spokes american tonight saying how can you try to seek the nomination of the Democratic Party by all but ignoring the diverse states, which Bernie Sanders did. He didnt compete in the southern states, but look, he won oklahoma. That is where he felt like he might have a chance. He won. Obviously in his home state of vermont. So he will continue to go after the nomination. He will continue to try to accumulate dell galts egatesdelegates. Its tough on the democratic side. Theres something called super delegates. Theyre not pledged to any one candidate. Most of them are going for Hillary Clinton. And that makes that potentially an insurmountable lead. But he has a lot of bank and continues to contest. He has an ability to raise money that Hillary Clinton is probably envious of. He raised like 5 million in one day this week. And a lot of them are small donations which means we can go back again and again and again to the donors to ask for more money. Weve heard Hillary Clinton begin to pivot her remarks toward donald trump now as not the presumed democratic nominee, but beginning to act like that. Lets go back to the trump News Conference right now and listen to more of what he has to say. I dont know that shes going to be allowed to one. What she did is a criminal act. If shes allowed to run. I would be very, very surprised, but if shes allowed to run, honestly, itll be a sad day for this country because what she did was wrong. And what she did let me just tell you, what she did was wrong. Okay, one or two more questions. Go ahead, jeremy. Where did i say that . Where, where, where . I didnt say that. Ill negotiate. If the walls going to be 50 feet, ill take two feet off the wall. You didnt listen, jeremy. Would you allow them to stay in the country . At this moment, absolutely not. No. We have a country or we dont. We have a country or we dont. We have borders or we dont have borders. And at this moment, the answer is absolutely not. Okay, how about one or two more questions, david, go ahead. Make it a nice question, david, please. Some people inside the Republican NationalCommittee Delegates trying to clear you a way . I thinkdown okay, go ahead. Well look, after i lot of respect for the group. And i like the rnc. And i dont know that ive been treated fairly or not. I really dont know. I cant tell you that, but i can tell you that i do respect them what i really have is a great number of people. Exactly where we were before we started speaking. I was amazed at the numbers. Energy. The democrats dont. They dont have any energy. Their numbers are down. Our numbers are through the roof. And people are making the statements theyve never seen in modern times, a party that was so energized. Well as im doing, and im not just speaking for myself. Whether its me or anybody else. But if im going to win five, ive already won five, but maybe it could be six, seven, eight, nine, it could be nine, i could win nine states tonight. If im going to win all of these states with tremendous numbers, and if im going to come in the worst is second. In the two or three that i might not win, i think, you know, were a democracy. I think its awfully hard to say thats not the person we want to lead the party. Its very hard. But i really think its a great question, david. Because i really think that one of the biggest things that everybody is seeing happening, and everybody is the Republican Party has become more dynamic, its become more diverse, were taking from the democrats, from the independents. We have a lot more people. We have a lot more people. I mean, take a look at south carolina, look at the numbers. Look at the numbers from four years ago. When nobody even wanted to waste their time and vote. And then you look i was and you had lines that went a mile long. And it was virtually more than doubled. So we have a very, very dynamic donald trump not going the usual route of a Victory Party tonight, but rather a News Conference with governor Chris Christie looking on behind him. You heard him going after Hillary Clinton a moment ago. We talked about the fact that clinton is beginning to pivot some of her attacks towards clinton. Heres some of what she said earlier this evening. America prospers when we all prosper. America is strong when were all strong. And we know weve got work to do. But, that work, that work is not to make America Great again, america never stopped being great. We need [ applause ] we have to fill in fill in whats been hollowed out [ chanting usa ] lets go to nbcs andrea mitchell, she joins us live from miami. Andrea, weve heard her make that remark a couple of times over the last few days. At the beginning of the, her campaign against donald trump if it becomes that . Reporter absolutely. She is pivoting towards donald trump, assuming that he is going to be the republican nominee. And assuming frankly that she will nail down this nomination. Perhaps later in march, although Bernie Sanders certainly said tonight after his big win in vermont, his home state, and then later he won oklahoma that he will go on all the way to june and in the convention. He has the money to do that. But as you can hear them breaking down this watch party, the Victory Party here, Hillary Clinton certainly big over the with her large margins of African Americans states with majority African American votes, her large minority votes. She won across the board and in virginia, sle won the white vote as well. She didnt do that well in oklahoma, which he won because fewer minority. According to her spokesman, you cant win the nomination if you cant win in more diverse states. Bernie sanders top spokesman and strategist had to respond and well see who wins by the end of june and who has the nomination. The campaigns going at each other. She and sanders have not speaken oken tonight. Back to the republican side, ted cruz who won in texas and oklahoma is talking right now. Lets join his speech in progress. This is a man who loves his wife and loves his children, and loves our constitution, and loves our country, and did long before he was obviously, obviously ted cruz not quite at the podium. Momentarily. Maybe this is part of the introduction. Savannah, while we wait, lets go back and listening to Hillary Clinton, eight years ago, we were talking about wow, we may see the first African American president. After tonight, will people begin to talk in terms of wow, we might see the first female president . I dont know. It doesnt seem to have resinated that much. You know, eight years ago, after she lost the nomination to barack obama, there was some hand wringing in clintons quarters about maybe we should have played that out more. Played that female card. Shes dabbled with it. Its been overtaken by events. And by events, i mean donald trump. I think what people are really going to be talk about ing about is wow, we have a former reality star, megabillionaire, donald trump, who is redefining the Republican Party for a generation. This is where they Start Talking about the wigs and how the Republican Party is fundamentally changing. This is history. Let me support what donald trump said tonight about turnout. Record turnout by 300,000 of alltime in virginia. 300,000 more people voted tonight, nearly a million people, than anybody had ever voted in a virginia Republican Party. Were on track for a record turnout in georgia and oklahoma. On track for a record turnout in tennessee. It is not because of ted cruz or marco rubio, it is because of donald trump. He is bringing in the different voters. And it is, you know, we looked at it, he is winning tonight because he is the candidate that these voters say will bring needed change. I think we have boards up to here to show folks. He dominated in alabama, tennessee, georgia, every state that he won. He got well over 50 among voters who said i need to bring needed change. Georgia, 51, he is the candidate of change inside the Republican Party. Not ted cruz, not marco rubio. You mentioned marco rubio, were going to speak to him live in just a moment. Well ask him what he sees is his path forward after tonights losses. Well be right back. We will not allow the next president hey, need fast heartburn relief . Try cool mint zantac.

Treatment with xarelto. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk while taking, you may bruise more easily p and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. P xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. R get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned before starting xarelto , any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto monitoring restrictions. Treatment with xarelto. Was the right move for us. Shopping for an suv .

Welcome back to our super tuesday coverage, we are joined now live from miami by senator marco rubio. Senator, good evening, nice to have you with us tonight. Good evening. So you have far have not wins in your column tonight, are you disheartened . No, of course not. First of all, lets understand where we are in this campaign. I mean these states are awarding delegates on the percentage of votes you get. Were going to have significant number of delegates out of every state of tonight. In the state of virginia, where we were trailing by 15 points, we basically have as many delegates at donald trump. Smn still out, were doing well there and feel good about tobacco. So usually in a traditional race, when you have someone like donald trump in the lead in some of the states, you would have everybody coming back together and saying all right, its time for everyone to rally around for trump. Whats happening is the opposite. On the contrary, people are saying you have to fight on because whats at stake is the soul of the Republican Party. And i asked people to join us at marcorubio. Com. We cannot allow the Republican Party to be led by someone who refuses for example to condemn the kkk as donald trump did. You went after donald trump hard this week. And a lot was schoolyard things, spray tans and the size of hands, do you think voters rejected that . Do you think that worked against you . No. Been insulting people for the last 12 months. Every now and then, everyone deserves to get a taste of their own medicine. Second, i would say look at every state tonight thats on the board. He will underperform every public poll that was taken, especially for example in virginia. Ahead of us by 15 points, no one expected that to be competitive. Weve only had five days now to explain to people what a con artist donald trump is. And youre seeing the impact across the country. I cant wait to make the case, well see what happens on saturday, again on monday theres voting going on in america. And then again, the following week on march 15th, where then states. Winner take all. And thats where we feel great. Tonight was supposed to be ted cruzs night. The night he swept all the southern states, the most conservative part of the country. He leads in texas, and a win in the neighboring state of oklahoma and he doesnt take all the delegates. Tonight, i never said we were going to win or close out this campaign on super tuesday. Ted cruz did. I can tell you our best states are yet to come, including home tonight. Senator rubio, chuck todd here, mass is your challenge at this point. Has your Campaign Come to the assessment that theres only two outcomes here for you, either you dont catch donald trump and he becomes the nominee or you have to take this all the way to the convention. There does not seem to be a mathematical path for you to clinch the nomination before cleveland. Conclusion . No, i dont believe that. I think especially once you get to the winner take all states, it gets friendlier for us, especially as the race narrows down. If people werent on the ballot, we would have won virginia and a couple other states as well. We feel good as we get into march 15th about that. The question is how does donald trump get to 1,237 delegates. Chuck, usually in the campaigns, you have a front runner and the party says lets rally around john mccain or mitt romney, thats not going to happen with donald trump. They know that the nomination of donald trump means the end of movement, and the end of the modern Republican Party, and a very devastating way. We cannot nominate someone in our party who in addition to being a con artist and sharing all these opinions with the democrats on planned parenthood, rally, and you name it, someone who this week repeatedly refused to condemn the clue klux clan, that means devastation in november. A vote for donald trump is a vote for Hillary Clinton in november. Its Savannah Guthrie in new york, ted cruz was just speaking and said to those who havent won any state, by which hes referring to you, i wish you would prayerfully getting out of the race and uniting to try to stop donald trump. Obviously, that is not your plan, but how do you argue that youre not just an agent of the nomination of donald trump, if this Party Continues to be divided with all of these candidates . Yeah. I understand teds spin on this. Heres my answer. Ted was supposed to clean up tonight. And sweeping the southern states, and tonight was a night he was going to claim victory. That didnt happen. Ted cruz basically won his home state where hes not going to get the majority of delegates or hes not going to get all the delegates and he won the neighboring state of oklahoma where hes going to share delegates, and thats it. Where does he win from here . Thats the question ted has to ask. He cant unify the Republican Party and he cant grow it. Im the only one in this race that consistently beats Hillary Clinton in every poll. Im the only one that has a chance to unite the Republican Party and the math only gets worse for ted cruz. Tonight was supposed to be the night, youve heard his campaign say that. They were going to sweep the southern states, he basically got beat in every single one except his home state and the neighboring state of oklahoma. Thats it. On the other hand, look at virginia, thats indicative of the broader country, and we basically have tied donald trump there, andest that despite having to share the ballot with four or five other candidates. Senator marco rubio, thank you for taking time with us, we appreciate it, sir. And as were having that conversation, some breaking news. Weve got the results coming in now from arkansas. And nbc news projects that donald trump will win in arkansas and rubio in fact will likely come in, at least right now, he is in third place. In arkansas. We to want go right now and check in, ted cruz were told has finally made his way to microphone. Lets hear what he has to say after his wins tonight in texas and oklahoma. Donald trump pledges to be neutral between rally and the palestinians. As president ,ly not be neutral. America will stand, unapologetically with the nation of rally. Donald trump says he will keep in place the Iranian Nuclear i will rip to shreds this catastrophic Iranian Nuclear deal on the very first day in office. If youre angry with washington, i understand. But donald trump has been part of the washington corruption for 40 years. Hes harry reids favorite republican candidate. And jimmy carters. Just yesterday, it was reported that the New York Times had the secret tape recording of donald saying that he doesnt mean what hes saying on immigration. That its all were listening to ted cruz speaking in texas right now. He won tonight in texas. He won in oklahoma. Howie jackson is there at his headquarters. Halle, clearly he wants to see tomorrow. We heard him making remarks about marco rubio, tell us more about that. Reporter really, lester, this is the crux of cruzs argument that hes trying to make the republican base. Beaten donald trump. And you heard him say a couple minutes ago, he said i beat donald trump not once, not twice, but three times, and putting pressure on other candidates in this race, specifically marco rubio to essentially clear the way. The campaign feels that if marco rubio stays in this race, they believe that rubios supporters simply will not go to trump, that itll hand trump the nomination basically. The question for cruz now is can he coalesce conservatives around his candidacy . We saw him do well with white evangelicals in oklahoma, and if he won, he picks up the states, but he lost that assignment group. Evangelical group in georgia to donald trump. The question now, how much more work does he have to do to bring people behind this candidacy . And move forward in this race . Where does he go . States like kansas and louisiana that voted. March 15th now the next big day for this republican race, lesser. Halle jackson, thanks so much. Were going to take a break. Were going to look at what the super tuesday results mean for the deeply divided Republican Party after a short break. The future belongs to the fast.

He had a tough night, but he worked hard. He spent a lot of money. He is a lightweight, as ive said many times before. But you know what, were going to go to florida, were going to spend so much time in florida. We have about a 20 point lead. Donald trump a sort while ago, holding a News Conference after a big, big night. Hes got six wins right now. Arkansas or virginia, georgia, alabama, massachusetts, and tennessee in his column tonight. And lets look at some of the races. Were still watching that we dont have polls on, vermont, the republican race too close to race as you can see. Governor kasich is second place there right now. This is minnesota were also watching this very closely. Too early to call. And in massachusetts, democratic race between Hillary Clinton that is too close to call. Looking at our nbc political analyst, eugene robinson, also an associate editor and columnist looking like this is a race going to be a race between trump and clinton. Nicole, let me again with you, we talked about trump deniers in the Republican Party. New believers when we wake up tomorrow . Listen, im going to call it the Chris Christie affect, i think we saw both Hillary Clinton and donald trump really turn toward a general election posture. And in hillarys case, more to do with message, but in trumps case, it had to do with tone and demeanor, i think he reassured republicans. Big chunks of the establishment hell never win over. Instead of a Election Party instead of a election demeanor. Stage craft is not an easy thing to pull off as a candidate and i thought he did. The message was toned down a bit from the bombast of the last you think, stage craft . If it had candy colored lighting behind the colored flags. More than any president would ever have because hes donald trump. Its got to be, and theyve got to be big and shiny. But, it clearly that whole event was to send, send this image was to imprint this image of donald trump acting president ial. Secretary clinton had to act like the presentative nominee to match some of that you are a rap. I think shes sounding like the presumptive nominee now. She doesnt want to sound prumps issue and sound as if shes sort of writing off Bernie Sanders because in fact, to win the white house, shes going to have to have the enthusiastic support of Bernie Sanders supporters if she gets the nomination. But, i thought you heard in her message, a more general election a bit softer, a bit more, you know, let us all come together. Weve come too far. Were not tired. We keep marching on. But nicole, interesting to hear you say tonight the tone and tenor president ial, but savannah this morning, savannah and i this morning, we were talking about how unpresident ial he had become and how frustrating it had been. I guess my question is, okay, every time you he takes one step forward its like a minute. Minute. And then tomorrow or the next day, its unloading on whoever is in his way. And its the bull in the china shop again. I have my deniers, my truthers, and my believers. So right, this is all the therapy. Were all in therapy. We have a group rate. This is this group that is writing on the wall. We believe hell be the nominee. Mathematically impossible for the other guys to win. I told you how you have a minute of hope when you say too close, but really cant catch up. Last seven days, taking, i think he took four news cycles to just them. He just you know, our blood runs, it terrifies rams. When he takes the stage and pulls it back a little bit. This is how easy we are. We are momentarily reassured. Do you really think the republican establishment is ready to wrap its arms around donald trump . Believers. Can we survive this . Meaning can the Republican Party survive this . Is this about a where were about to go. When you say survive it speak in 1800s. And the senate is very much at risk. And i heard from someone today whos work on the campaigning for two decades who thinks the house is at risk. From his perspective, looking at the arc of his performances, tonight was an improvement for the last seven days. Walk me through what it would have we seen anything yet . No. Race to the bottom. I agree with you actually. A dive, a plunge, plummeting you know any sort of the clintons arent afraid to go low either. They will fight, you know, the other democrats are afraid of fighting dirty. They never have been. So theyll throw. You know, if thats the matchup, they will have to i think because, and trump is signaling that. Hes going to go after everything. Going from everything that bill or Hillary Clinton has ever said or done. Practically put her in jail not his press conference. President ial looking press conference. Increasingly doing that and imparting on this idea that, indictments coming and might not make it i can make you one prediction. Whoever wins that contest l win, coming out of the election, will be the most unpopular new president in history of the country. They will have an unfavorable we know she has struggled with women voters up until this point. Will that carry her . I think hes going to have i think this will be the real fight of his campaign. I think that hes got men, hes got right leaning men, republican men, he will win or lose based on whether or not he can get sort of the mom vote. Married women, when they side with the republicans, republicans win. George w. Bush was able to narrow the gender gap. Thats how he won in 2004. Mitt romney and john mccain were not able to do that. Thats in part how they lost in 08 and 12. If trump can foot in narrow the gender gap, he will have a very hard time winning. Conversation earlier about, about whether she will stand up and go, i could be the first woman president. That has not been played out there in a large way. No, and i dont that that has turned out to be that compelling of a reason for females to vote for Hillary Clinton. I dont think theyre necessarily making that assessment. There doesnt seem to be that excitement about that issue alone. Women may want to vote for Hillary Clinton, but the fact of her femaleness does not appear to be the main driver. It seems to me though, if she gets to the general election, that the potential for a historic moment kind of dawns on everybody. It becomes more real. And i think that does become an element of the campaign, even. She doesnt have to come back to it exclusively. I think the other potential in the general election between trump and clinton would be for latino voters to turn out for clinton in historic numbers. In breakthrough numbers. In numbers that more approximate their weight in the population because, you know, usually the latinos the Biggest Minority Group in the country. Usually the African American vote is often greater than the latino vote in sheer numbers, and its equal in weight. Im with you, i think its going to be the way African American vote was for obama is against. Nice too talk to both of you. She quit a high profile position in the Democratic Party and threw her support if i Bernie Sanders. How does she feel about the decision now . We will be joined after this break. A heart attack doesnt care if you run everyday, or if youre young or old. No matter who you are a heart attack can happen without warning. If youve had a heart attack, be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. Bayer aspirin. Hello my love the flame is out. Ugh. Today the flame is out, tomorrow my attitude. Your mother. Antonio. Antonio. Que . The stove. Its not working. Campbells microwaveable soups. At the end of tonight, 15 states will have voted, 35 states remain. And let me assure you that we are going to take our fight for economic justice, for social justice, for environmental sanity, for a world of peace to every one of those states. Speaking in vermont. He has two victory tonight to Hillary Clintons six, but still plenty of heart and plenty of money for him to move forward. And right now we have congresswoman of hawaii who just resigned as vice chair of the dnc to put her support behind Bernie Sanders and joins us now. Good evening, its good to have you with us. Aloha, good evening. Good evening, lets look at this map. It is a tough one for Bernie Sanders, he all be conceded the south to Hillary Clinton, was that a strategic mistake . Bernie sanders, i think has mission. And the issues that really come from his heart that he cares about, about bringing tonight to people who dont have, you know, whose voices have not been heard about bringing justice in all the ways that you just heard coming from him. I am proud to endorse senator Bernie Sanders because of the issues that are most central to me as well as the issues that have not yet been talked about this campaign. And that is the issue of war and peace. But tonight, congresswoman, Hillary Clintons spokesperson brian fallon said you cant try to win the democratic nomination by writing off a whole sector of the democratic electorate. If you look at exit polls out of alabama, arkansas, georgia, oklahoma, clinton is beating sanders in the black vote by 80 points in some cases. How does he go forward with numbers like that . Well, look, there are many states that are yet to vote. There are many people who are still looking at this election and considering who they will choose to be our next president. Who they will choose to be our next commander nor chief. I can tell you for myself as a soldier and war veteran and as someone who during my first deployment to iraq, i served in a medical unit where i saw firsthand, daily, the very high human cost of war. But to speak of the cost that these interventionist regime economy and our ability to invest here at home through a variety of different programs, my endorsement for senator Bernie Sanders is based on this central point. On this question of war and peace. On this question of who will be that qualified commander in chief to take us down a path towards peace and prosperity, versus continuing down this interventionist wars of regime change policy that secretary clinton has championed and supported and advocated for both in iraq, in libya, and now in syria. Let me just ask you, Bernie Sanders has made some big promises. Hes talking about government run health care, hes talking about Free Public College tuition, and he acknowledges that thats some tough sledding in washington. He says, of a revolution is needed, a political rev luck and yet were seeing that the turnout is actually down among democrats. How do you get this revolution if democrats arent showing you want to polls . I think by having these people who have not yet felt that they have a voice being heard in the political process. I think as youre seeing whats happening on the road, youre seeing a lot of excitement coming from places where people may not have been involved yet or involved for a very long time because there is an honesty being addressed here about these issues that are important and affecting people every day lives. On these issues of war and peace, theyre directly connected to those programs that talking about. That Hillary Clinton is talking about, and if we allow this interventionist regime change policy that secretary clinton has championed, we will see how those resources of which trillions of dollars have been spent overseas continue to stand in the way of us as a country actually investing here at home. So we cannot look at these issues as separate things. This issue of war and peace and what kind of commander in chief we will have is central and core success for us here at home. Congressman, got to leave it there, thank you for your time tonight. We appreciate it. Thank you. And were going to take a break and were looking beyond tonight through the general election when we come back.

Zantac works in as little as 30 minutes. Nexium can take 24 hours. Try cool mint zantac. No pill relieves before, i had Something Else i was going to talk about. You have breaking news. Apparently republican Lindsey Graham supposedly on another network said the following. We may be in a position where we have to rally around ted cruz. This is a man looking at the delegate count. You know the delegate count, it is clear, trumps the leader, cruz is second. Theres no ambiguity between second and third as marco rubio would like to have us believe. Do you believe the Republican Party is ready to rally around cruz . I think thats a march 15th decision. I think right now the math looks like donald trump will get about a half the delegates tonight. That still may not be enough given the winner take all states and the turn in calendar to larger industrial states, bluer states. I think its not until after march 15th that it comes. Thats amazing that Lindsey Graham is saying. Not a ted cruz fan. Thats between cruz and trump. For him to say that, its earth shattering. I think it tells you the kkk thing did have impact on the senators. It really did. And i think theyll now move the potentially to consolidation, but theyre going to give both cruz and rubio a chance to make their case. Governor, his opponents couldnt put a move in his armor. Where is there a vulnerability . Shes building a coalition that looks like america. All the people that hes been insulting, the swaths of demographics, she is going to embrace. When she talks about making america whole and filling in the hole, to be able to bring people together to break down barriers, well hes talking about building walls. That is a message that will resinate far large group. Thats warm and fuzzy, but with trump, youre going to have to go straight at him. Off positive and go for the throat as well. Theres plenty of ammo. Both on the democratic and the republican side who have some binders that are, that people are waiting to unload. But donald trump is bringing new voters. Donald trump is bringing what the reagan democrats were invented in your home state of michigan. Donald trump, those folks are coming and voting in republican primaries, and he could overperform in michigan, couldnt he . He could, he could. He actually could, hes talking about the thing that people in michigan care about most, which is jobs going overseas. But, he is extremely vulnerable on the fact that hes got he cant be railing on china when hes making his clothing line in china and in mexico. Hello, those are fighting words. But the this is interesting and complexing for people in this race, there is a certain overlap, if you were doing a vin diagram diagram, you might get a sanders and a trump voter. How many anecdotes in places like new hampshire, im torn between sanders and trump. But both are tapping into this anger on the side. Theres also a vin diagram that allows for her to be able to go after the people who are saying, no way in hell am i going to vote for donald trump, and so those potential folks are prospects. Weve got to take a break. Id like to keep the conversation going. Well be back darn, final in it takes a lot of work. To run this business. Im on the move all day long.

We have another call to make colorado. Nbc news projects that bernie colorado. His third victory of the night. Before we close out this hour, chuck todd, youve been looking at the delegate breakdown here in both races. It is, but im going to show you the republican race obviously is where it matters most. And im going to circle these three guys here, trump, cruz, rubio. When the night began, cruz and rubio had 18 each, donald trump sat at about 80. Donald trump added over 100. We expect him to possibly pick up maybe another hundred when we allocate all of them. Cruz is in a solid second in delegates. Rubio, in a distant third. And look, this terms you the night. Big night for donald trump, bad night for marco rubio whats the point of no return . March 15th. March 15th, if donald trump sweeps those five states, not just florida and ohio, ail illinois, missouri, north carolina. If he wins them all, theres no stopping him now. Left the irony is the Republican Party leadership front loaded this calendar, okay, theyve got 60 of the republican delegates spoken for by the end of march. Why . Because they didnt want a repeat of 2012, they wanted to wrap this up. They thought theyd wrap it up for the establishment candidate, and instead, donald trump purposes. Theres a lot of people saying, how did we let this happen . And what is the Republican Party stand for now . Is this trump party . We talked about the different lanes over the last few years, you have with the establishment wing of the Republican Party, you have the conservative, the one thing that unites those two trump. But is that enough to stop him . Does the general election more or less start now . I think youre going to start seeing Hillary Clinton trying to do both. She still has to beat sanders woul aliening ate ing supporters but attack towards trump. I think youre going to see trump fight a twofight war. He knows he needs to go after rubio and finish him off in florida. Best shot to clear rubio out because ultimately, i think he thinks he has a better shot in a one on one with cruz than rubio.
