Delivering their closing arguments. The whole country is looking to you. Every one of you is here not just for you, but hundreds and thousands across the country, who are saying enough is enough. Stop cutting deals with the democrats. Stop giving in. Stop burying us in debt and handing away the constitution. Start fighting for the american people. Its important, you know, all 50 states are important. I think we need to bear in mind that weve got a marathon here and not a sprint. But certainly early momentum is a good thing. You dont like the direction of our country like now and you vote for Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, youll get more of the same. All of these policies that are hurting our country become permanent if they them. And so we have to win. We cannot take a chance. We will make a difference in 2016. I spent a lot of money here, nobody else did. I spent a tremendous amount of money in this state, and i tell you, i love it. I love it. These other guys, theyre all gone. They made their little speech this morning and they ran away. And you shouldnt be voting for people. For trump, im going to be here with you all night. All night. I dont know if my purpose is to be president. My purpose is to be out here doing what i think i need to be doing and well see where it ends up. And if its not this crusade, it will be another one. Chief Political Correspondent carl cameron is live in nevada. Carl, set the stage for us. Reporter this is the first in the west caucus, and its the final of the first four, first in the nation contests. And donald trump is looking to go three in a row with a victory tonight. He and ted cruz are still in nevada and furiously working the clock. In fact, we have some live pictures of ted cruz in sparks, nevada where hes talking to caucusgoers. For mr. Cruz, this is a huge and very important event and its been a very rough week for him. He had to fire his Communications Director. He didnt get the finish in South Carolina that he hoped for. Donald trump comes into this with a big lead. For cruz, the pressure is on to show that hes still competitive and doesnt get eclipsed by marco rubio. As for donald trump, trump comes into this with the lead. He has been dominating since South Carolina and really aggressively going after mr. Cruz and to a lesser extent marco rubio. Its clear that Trump Realizes that doing away with cruz sets up this race that would be donald trump versus marco rubio. And trump has not made a lot of effort in going after rubio until this point. For marco rubio, who lived here in nevada as a kid, here in las vegas as a matter of fact, the opportunity for a big showing tonight is huge. He knows full well that cruz has been weakened this week, that trump has an advantage and a strong second place showing for marco would be a very big deal. We dont want to forget, we dont want to leave out either john kasich or dr. Ben carson. Ben carson today used the metaphor of the tortoise and the hear. And john kasich hasnt invested very much in nevada. Hes more focused on michigan, which votes two weeks from now, and the socalled s. E. C. And super tuesday states a week from now. The nevada caucuses have never really been something that changes the trajectory of a race. The turnout is low, maybe 50,000 to 70,000 votes. So not a big affair. It has been a tremendous battle, an incredible fight for a comparatively small number of voters themselves. Carl, great to see you. Joining us with his expectations, brit hume. Good to see you. So nevada hasnt mattered that much historically, so what role does it play tonight . Well, there are only 30 delegates at stake, thats fewer than iowa, which has often been criticized as too much made about not very much. So you get a sense from that. But at this stage of the proceeding, we only have a few states having held contest, every one of them counts as a token of momentum, and momentum is important. You look at marco rubio has shown some ability in two of the three states to close well and do better than his previous polling suggests that he would. Ted cruz has struggled, and donald trump, of course, has been the big winter last two outings. And the polling that we have, some of sit a week old. In fact, i think thats the latest poll suggests that he has a strong lead here. Therefore should be expected to win. If he does and does what was expected, i dont think it will have much momentum. So the really interesting struggle is for second place between cruz and rubio. And rubio, if he has a chance needs to get cruz out of the way and cruz needs to get rubio out of the way. We might get a sense of that tonight. Nobody is talking about rubio or cruz talking about having a shot at first. It seems like theyre conceding the man who owns the casino in las vegas is the one who is going to win tonight and that would be donald trump. The question is, brit, while rubio and cruz continue to say i got second here, i got third here. At some point dont you need to win in order to win . Of course. The fact is, the field remains even as crowded as it is now, this split in the field has two possible effects, megyn. It allows trump to keep winning with 35 or so percent of the vote. Might get more tonight. But it also prevents him from getting above 50 . Because when these others drop out, when and if they do, he will inherit that support. The question is, will it be enough to push him over the 50 mark, where he will have a clear path to the nomination. The hope among main stream republicans is somebody can get one on one with the guy and beat him. That becomes increasingly important when we get past the states that will vote next week when there are almost 600 delegates at stake and then some states are winner takes all. Looking forward to that sort of second super tuesday, the march 15 voting day, where we have florida, ohio, north carolina, illinois, missouri, florida and ohio just took a look at the latest polling. In florida, the last polls were january 21, so a month ago. It showed trump at 40 in florida. The next closest was cruz at 19 . Rubio in his home state hat 13. 7 . 40 to 19 to 13. In ohio, the latest poll by quinnipiac, trump had 31. Kasich had 26. Ted cruz had 21. Right. Remember, megyn, this is pretty fluid at this stage. Some of those polls that were taken that were in that average, several other candidates were in the race. Certainly jeb bush was in the race. You know, it looked even more spread out than it is now. I would say that i would be very surprised if its almost a month from now when those states vote, we will have had 600 delegates on march 1 selected and the race may look different. If it doesnt look different by them, trump has a clear path to the nomination. So if you had to put money on it, number one, do you think trump secures this nomination . Number two, how do you see him patching up against Hillary Clinton, if its her . Well, if trump wins the nomination and hes certainly the man to beat, i think it will be hard for him to beat Hillary Clinton, because you look at the negatives and negatives matter in the longterm a lot. He has the highest negatives in the field of either party. Something on the order of 60 at the last round that people have an unfavorable opinion of him. Nationwide. Yeah, nationwide. Thats right. And when you get into a general election, you know, if youre that becomes a tremendous burden. Now, Hillary Clinton has very high negatives, too. But not as high as his. Of course, weve not seen in this republican race, megyn, anybody making a really concerted effort with an expensive Advertising Campaign to go after trump. All theyve ran so far is going after each other. Can you imagine what the democrats would spend and what kind of advertising they could do on donald trump with the positions hes changed, with the things hes done . The imminent domain dispute that the bush people finally made an ad out of, that caused a big blowup in the last debate that didnt help trump out very much. So when the full guns of a general Election Campaign are loosed on the guy, i think hes vulnerable. And i think it will be hard for him to beat her. But in this crazy year, who knows . Who knows is right. Mark your calendars for a special kelly file election 2016 event. Tomorrow night, we go facetoface with the gop candidates. And the voters of texas for a q and a, just days before the big super tuesday vote. Donald trump will not be there because he will be in another state. But well have the other candidates together and theyll take questions directly from the texas voters and from yours truly. We are keeping a close eye on news coming out of nevada where a lot of attention is on senator marco rubio. Oh, look at that, feeli ining patriotic. Next, why team rubio needs to make a big change and why he thinks rubio has a lot more to brag has to do a lot more than just brag about the endorsements he received to win. Plus, big news from the Senate Judiciary committee on the future of the Supreme Court. A historic fight is shaping up. The nomination should be made by the president.

Im proud that weve been picking up endorsements over the last few days because its proves what ive been saying. That is i am the conservative in this race that can unite this party. We wont just unite the party, we will grow it. That was senator marco rubio in nevada earlier today, telling voters that the bigname republican endorsements he picked up yesterday proved that hes the man who will lead the gop to victory in 2016. John roberts is live in grand rapids, michigan tonight. John . Reporter good evening to you. Marco rubio just wrapping up a rally here in grand rapids. Earlier he was in minneapolis, started off the day in las vegas, but decided the caucuses are one day, but super tuesday is ahead, that biga michigan primary, at every stop, making the argument he is the one candidate that republicans can coalesce around, pointing out that donald trump, 65 of republicans dont want him to be president. Suggesting if you nominate someone that cant get elected in the november election, you really are wasting your vote. Rubio has been racking up endorseme endorsements, mostly from Establishment Republicans and rubio has been portraying himself as not of the establishment. A little earlier today, i asked him about that, saying how can you maintain your independence with all of these Establishment Republicans endorsing you. I wasnt their first choice or in some cases not even their second choice. But now they realize this is what the race is. These are the finalists and theyve made the choice that they think is best for the party and our country. Reporter rubio was very positive going into tonights caucuses, looking ahead to super tuesday. Theres only so much proportionality before the 15th. So if marco rubio is looking to make a move, he needs to do it quickly. John, great to see you. My next guest is stuart stevens, former Mitt Romney Campaign strategist. He thinks the Rubio Campaign needs to change its campaign and soon. I know you like marco rubio, nothing against him. But how is he messing it up . Well, look, as you say, im a great marco rubio fan. I just think that you have to post up against a guy who is winning. And i think a message about the party is not a very compelling message to most people. Most people who vote republican primary, they dont care about the party, they care about nar lives. I think that donald trump has laid out a series of economic proposals that would have devastating impact on jobs and these crazy Foreign Policy ideas that would put america at reisk. He needs to talk about that. He needs to talk about what its going to mean if donald trump were president. The first report on that, major financial donors who dont like trump are not going to give money to an antiTrump Campaign, because theyre worried that they will get hit. Just yesterday, we warn marlene ricketts, a big republican donor, better be careful, that they have a lot to hide he said about the ricketts family. So he scares some people, and they also worry that its not going to work because hes teflon don. I thought the senator from nebraska had the perfect response to that. That thuggish threat from donald trump, he said can you imagine if this guy had his hands on the fbi and the cia and the National Security apparatus . These are opportunities. Donald trump is uniquely unqualified to be president of the united states, and he demonstrates it every day in different ways. I think you have to take that, use it against him, show what people want in a president , show how donald trump is lacking and show the sort of steadiness and temperament that a marco rubio still, the voters see that. Theyve seen what his temperament is. They know what his qualifications are. They like that. That is not a deal breaker for them. They see a man financially successful, you know, those ads, weve seen some try, but people have rejected that in favor of a disrupter. I think that its like any argument. First, you have to argue to win an argument. Secondly, you have to frame it. So look at last week in South Carolina, in the most military state in the country, he called george bush a war criminal basically. And one of the most religious states in the country he attacked the pope. You have to frame that. He was running basically as a combination of Michael Moore and Christopher Hitchens but never held accountable for that. Thats how you win. You have to show what the consequences are that these what hes saying and how it affects peoples lives. Jeb bush tried a little of that. You saw how it ended with that. The question is people like jeb bush tried that but failed miserably. I want to talk about marco rubio. I see your point. Youre basically saying if rubio doesnt change something about the way hes running this campaign, he can expect the same results hes been getting. Your message about just talking about the party is interesting. He does say middle class americans are struggling and talks about his personal story and so on. Is it what is it about him . What does he need to do to go from third and fifth to first in some of these contests . I think he has to show that he understands your life better than donald trump does. I think hes putting out half the argument. I think hes showing that he understands your life. Hes not showing that donald trump doesnt understand your life. Its a choice. If they believe that both are equally qualified, or both can satisfy what it is that they have, he may lose that argument and right now he is losing that argument. So you have to go in and disqualify the other person. Its a straightup debate. You have to show why the other person is wrong and why youre right and what the consequences are. What about this argument that we keep hearing that, you know, if only kasich or cruz could get out, that would clear the path for rubio to amass more votes. This sort of argument that less candidates need to be in the race. I think thats a terrible argument. First of all, theres something inherently weak about it. If i could have picked the field of two in the daytona 500, maybe i would have had a shot. You have to race the field. You cant say if only these people got out, i would have a shot. People want you to go out there, post up with whos in there and win. I think theres been this strange, almost unique obsession with the order of losing versus the paramount need to win. Donald trump is focused on winning and hes won a couple of these things. He may win today. The rest of the field wants the win. Theyve got to go out there and challenge donald trump. If only we could have different contestants, i know i could win this thing. Stuart, great to see you. So ted cruz is right now working the voters of nevada with his final pitch, but earlier he was going after donald trump with a lastminute push to cut trumps lead. Well show you the exchange there, next. Plus, Senate Republicans vowing to ignore any nominee president obama may name to the Supreme Court. So what is the next step in this night thats next. And the Supreme Court question may come up tomorrow night when we go face to face with the candidates in houston, texas. A special conversation with the voters, the candidates and yours truly.
