Reporter and underscoring the importance of the next several days. Cnn confirmed that mitt romney recorded a robocall for senator marco rubio in florida. The crux of the call not so much an endorsement. More the endorsement of stopping donald trump. Coming less than a week after mitt romneys scathing remarks about donald trump. This isnt just about marco rubio. Mitt romney is willing to do this for ted cruz and john kasich as well. Next tuesday, they either have to win or possibly go home, michaela. Interesting tactic on the part of romney. We turn now to the democrats. Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton looking for votes in michigan and mississippi. Our senior Political CorrespondentBrianna Keilar is live in miami with more. Reporter big stakes today for democrats in michigan and mississippi, especially michigan, which is rather delegate rich. And the race is pretty close between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Polls show clinton ahead. Im hearing from both camps they think this is tighter than we have seen in the polls. We just saw Bernie Sanders last night at a fox news town hall cleaning up an answer he gave during the cnn debate taking about racial blind spots. If youre white, you dont understand what it is like living in a ghetto. In africanamerican communities you have People Living in desperation, often being abused by white police officers. That is a bad thing. Thats got to change. Im fighting to reform a broken criminal justice system. I know about white poverty. It exists in my state is and all across the country.

More than 2,000 emails she sent on her private server now classified. 22 of them top secret. She did blame overclassification in part for that. Heres what she said. Others might say that wasnt at the time but now with circumstance we dont want to release it. So therefore we have to classify it. Ive asked, and i echo colin powell on this, release it. Once the American People see it they will know how absurd this is. And alisyn and chris, i know youre thinking, why are you in miami covering the michigan primary, mississippi primary . This is where both candidates will be pivoting. Bernie sanders will come to miami tonight, really pushing toward the next series of contests, even as he waits for the returns. We have the univision event simulcast on cnn. So we will have both candidates understanding tough questions tomorrow. We were thinking brilliant boondoggle. Cnn political analyst and editor at the atlantic, brownstein, Jackie Kucinich and mark preston. Ron, i want to get your take. I know you are paying close attention to michigan because you think it is telling of where the electorate is. Just pull up the polls. This is a snapshot where the republicans are right now. Trump gets 36. Cruz 23. Kasich said he will do very well gets 21. Rubio, 13. Ron, why are you so focused on michigan . Michigan, first of all, was one of the trio of states, michigan, illinois, ohio, that ended the race. It will tell us, alisyn, whether ted cruz can do what he needs to do, expand behind the aoe van g gel is cal voters he has been relying on. In all of these states, evangelicals are a big part of the population but probably not big enough to win on their own. Ted cruz and john kasich have been is narrow casting on their own. Whether any of them can get big enough to truly challenge trump, who seems to have hit a wall. He is a frontrunner. The question is whether any of the other candidates can take advantage. Mark preston, lets take a look at the latest numbers about what may happen in florida. What are you hearing about this push to have marco rubio step out not as a position of weakness but one of strength. A sacrifice for the party. To set him up for the future. Looking like a guy who gave it all early for the party. Well, look, i think there is probably some concern amongst backers that marco rubio hasnt taken off like they hoped he would. He is going to be the establishment candidate. Look, marco rubio won in florida, if you recall, back in 2010. He ran against a popular governor charlie crist. He came out of nowhere. He does the math in a way no one else can. There is something to be said about marco rubio being able to win his state. The biggest problem for marco rubio in florida, though, is up along the panhandle, on the georgia alabama border. It is voters that arent rubio. Arily connected to marco we talk about cubans, and the carta right in the middle of the state. He needs to do well in jacksonville, across tallahassee or stun any inroads they can make. 10 . Especially with the margin of error. It could be five or six. The closest we have seen it. Jackie, lets talk about donald trump. There is still a concerted effort to try to go after him basically. There is a new conservative super pac ad that highlights some of his more colorful language. I went to an ivy league school. Im very highly educated. I know words. I have the best words. [ bleep ]. He gets the nomination theyre going to sue his low pressure low pressure. I dont give a [ bleep ]. They are ripping the [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. What the hell are we doing . Youre not going to [ bleep ]. I have the best words. And you can tell them go [ bleep ] themselves. So, jackie, it is entertaining. Do you think that voters know he uses colorful language. Why is the pac going in that direction . I think if you see that on your tv over and over again, maybe it will start moving the needle with some people who havent been paying attention, which is hard for us to believe but they are out there. Folks are saying they are seeing the needle start to move on trump. The question, though, is this all too little too late at this point . Are these numbers at 30 . Theyre not going to move. The question is, someone else can accumulate more than him at this point. We just dont know if this movement is actually going to pay dividends. Well, heres the nice thing of watching new day. We can answer this question. We have Ron Brownstein on this panel been looking closely at the trump ceiling. Now you say you are seeing the suggestion. The moving of the needle. Slowly of the trend. What is is that theory about this not attrition but settling . Right. You have this precarious balance in the republican race to allow it to limp along for a long time. Donald trump has won only onethird total votes cast. Super tuesday, he only got 40 twice. And normally, kind of a traditional canned and mark and i have talked about. Traditional candidates won arkansas, massachusetts, vermont and alabama. You would see voters and elected officials coalescing behind him. Thats not happening. He is not moving out of second gear. Hes staying where he is. Bigger than anybody else. But not big enough to put it away. The problem is you have kasich and cruz, who who are narrow casting. Kasich is moderate and cruz is fading. Not get to go a fight where he decisively puts it away and you just have the math question. Mark, quickly, donald trump is still far and away the frontrunner. As you know, all sorts of Establishment Republicans have tried to put a which i think in his armor. Now there is a new get out the vote call that mitt romney reported for marco rubio. We have just gotten a hold of it. Listen to this. Hello. This is mitt romney. And im calling on behalf of marco rubio for president. I believe these are critical times that demand a serious thoughtful commander in chief. If we republicans were to choose donald trump as our nominee, i believe the prospects for a safe and prosperous future would be greatly diminished. And im convinced donald trump would lose to Hillary Clinton. Mark, does this mean mitt romney is supporting marco rubio . Yes. And no. He is supporting marco rubio, john kasich and ted cruz and quite frankly, Alisyn Camerota and chris cuomo if they decide to get in the race. He is trying to stunt any momentum for donald trump. I spoke to a romney person early this morning if you can imagine that, in the wee hours. The spokesperson told me governor romney is happy to help senator rubio, senator cruz or governor kasich any way he can. He clearly believes donald trump is not the best person to represent the Republican Party and it is not someone he can support that being donald trump for the republican nomination. Where this could help, and the New York Times broke this story overnight. They were very smart in saying this. This could help marco rubio in the state of michigan or idaho where there are a lot of lds members, mormons and mitt romney is a mormon. Thank you very much. If called upon, chris and i would serve. Panel, stick around. We do want to talk about the democratic side coming up. Stay with cnn for the most comprehensive political coverage. Results from todays super tuesday 2 contest at 7 00 p. M. Backtoback debates tomorrow night on cnn. We will simulcast the univision debate. And thursday, gop debate. New day will be live from florida tomorrow and the rest of the week. Breaking news. Nine people have been injured after a packed commuter train jumps the tracks and plunges into a creek in the San Francisco area. It apparently stuck a tree that had fallen in the middle of the tracks. Live from San Francisco with breaking details. I think its amazing nobody was killed. Reporter yeah. Good morning, michaela. This was quite a scare. You had bad weather move in, which led to this tree falling on the tracks, which is what led to the derailment. Breaking overnight, a harrowing scene. A packed train 45 miles east of San Francisco sending a train car full of passengers flunging into a swollen creek. I realized something was wrong. I held onto the rails. Right then the train flipped over. I was thrown out of my seat. Reporter all 214 miraculously managing to make it off the train alive. Officials saying nine injuries, four critically, but not life threatening. Absolutely chaotic. You can only imagine the terror and the angst that went through their mind. Very fortunate nobody was killed. Reporter rescue crews fighting the creeks fast currents through the night to pull riders to safety. Its scary. Its still scary. But, you know, somebody was watching over us tonight. Everybody got out. And everybody is going to hopefully be okay. Reporter well, ntsb has a team headed to the region.

Voters less than an hour from heading to the polls in the delegate rich state of michigan and mississippi as well. Lets take a look at a new poll from monmouth showing Hillary Clinton leading Bernie Sanders. This is not new in this state. But there is a couple of new dynamics. Jackie, ron, mark. Ron, well start with you. She has been up in michigan. Lets start this way. Everyone wants to figure out if she gets to the Halfway Point. Its a big deal. How big a teal is it that she goes into the Halfway Point before getting to the winner take all . I think michigan is very revealing of ahead. The core dynamic has been Bernie Sanders has not been able to win by a large enough margin to overcome Hillary Clintons advantage over africanAmerican Voters. She has 78 in every state except oklahoma and there she was 71 . They can do better when they get on on it of the south into the midwest. Michigan looks like the other states that will follow all coming on march 15th. If sanders cant vertebrae through in michigan it is hard to see him breaking through in other states. Even though he has shown, its not known if she will win 41. One of the achilles heels has been whether or not shes honest and trustworthy. It was posed to Bernie Sanders whether or not he believes she is honest and trustworthy. He did not exactly take the bait. Listen to this moment. I will let the people of the United States also a trump supporter. Jackie, what do you think of that tactic, a few times on the campaign trail he doesnt take the softball. It is robbed in order to take the hard road. He has been focused on keeping his policy discussion when it comes to Hillary Clinton. We saw this very early. He said no one cares about your emails. We actually saw it in the debate the other night. He was very critical of her. It did get a little chippy. It didnt get into that space where it got personal, where it became about this email scandal, which republicans have really seized on. That said, Hillary Clinton is going to have to continue to answer into the general if Bernie Sanders falls to the way side. Both immediately ran away from this bernies tone in the debate line. Thats bernie being bernie. He wasnt trying to be men then. Whether or not its going to be a good enough tragedy remains to be seen. Preston, this fox town hall, it was interesting they didnt have more ammo. The emails, the trustworthiness. It went right by like it would have been anywhere else, let alo alone fox. What do you think the significance is . Hillary clinton has been criticized over and over again for not appearing on fox. They do get a lot of viewers. They tend to get the republican viewers, no doubt about that. But in many ways this question about Hillary Clinton and her honesty and her emails and what have you have been answered over and over and over
