And, an exclusive look at the fight against isis. There are jets, there are helicopters everywhere. Martha raddatz, on board the u. S. S. Truman. Taking you inside its campaign against terror. From abc news, its this week. Here now, chief anchor george stephanopoulos. And what a week its been. Super tuesday. The stunning republican debate. And with votes in five states saturday, the race for president may be taking a new, dramatic turn. For the gop, a big night for ted cruz. He trounced donald trump in the kansas caucuses, beating him by 25 points. Surprised trump in maine, too, with 46 , trump at 33. John kasich, marco rubio far behind there. Trump got two wins in the southern stronghold. Louisiana, 41 , but cruz just three points behind. And a tight finish in kentucky. Trump at 36 , cruz at 32. Add it all up, cruz won more delegates saturday than trump and tightened the gap in the overall race. Trump is at 378. Cruz, 295. Rubio, 123. Kasich trailing at 34. For the democrats, Bernie Sanders swept caucus states. Winning kansas handily. 68 . Clinton got 32 . He came out on top in nebraska. 57 for sanders, 43 for clinton. Not even close in louisiana. Clinton beat him 71 to 23. That added to her delegate lead. Shes now up overall by more than 200, even before you count the democratic superdelegates that give her an overwhelming margin. So how can Bernie Sanders come back . Hes here to tell us. Thank you for joining us this morning. You were admirably candid last week after south carolina, saying you got decimated. What is your take on last night . Well, i think we did great overall yesterday. We won, as you mentioned, by over two to one in kansas. We did very well in nebraska. There will be a caucus in maine. If the turnout is high, i think well win there. That means we would have won eight primaries and caucuses. What impresses me very much, george, its what i mean when i talk about a Political Revolution in kansas. They had the largest voter turnout in their caucus history. That was the case in colorado, where we won, as well. In fact, in every primary and caucus that we have won, we have won by doubledigit numbers. Were winning all across the country. I think geographically, were looking good. I think we have path toward victory. Youve still got that demographic problem. Youre winning in these states that are overwhelmingly white, like kansas and nebraska. Any state with more than 10 of the africanamerican vote, shes killing you. Well, i think youre going to see those numbers change as well. And what we are noticing, and this is very interesting. Its not just racial. Its more generational. Were doing better and better with young africanamericans. Young latinos. Young whites. In many instances, were winning those demographics. With the older people, were not doing as well. And thats something that were going to have to work on. I think here in michigan, where theres a caucus coming up where theres a primary coming up on tuesday, i think the issues of trade, where nafta and permanent normal trade relations have decimated communities. All over michigan, all over illinois, all over ohio, i have helped lead the opposition to these disastrous trade agreements. Secretary clinton, by and large, has supported them all. I think that gives us momentum in the midwest. You put out a tweet this week. I want to put that up. It says the people of detroit know the real cost of Hillary Clintons free trade policies. It shows those abandoned buildings and homes in downtown detroit. Is that really fair, though . Detroit has been hollowed out since the race riots in 1968. Well, what is fair, george. And honestly, i didnt know this until a week ago. That in 1960, it turns out detroit was one of the wealthiest cities in america. Flint, michigan, which today is mired in poverty, was an extremely prosperous city. There is no doubt, i dont think anyone debates this, that these disastrous trade policies have cost this country millions of decentpaying jobs and resulted in a race to the bottom where many of the new jobs being created pay significantly less than those jobs used to pay years ago. Thats the result of a disastrous trade policy. Im not going to say its the only problem that detroit or flint has. But its a significant part of the decline of the communities in america. Companies shut down. They go to china, mexico, pay people low wages, bring their products back into the United States. Very bad policies for the american worker. At the same time, theres a new poll out this morning in michigan. The nbc marist poll. It still shows you pretty far back. 57 to 40. A lot of ground to make up in a few days. Its a funny thing about the polls, george. We started this campaign, as you well know, at 3 in the polls. 3 . We have come a very, very long way. Closing the gap nationally with secretary clinton. Im very proud that in many of these matchups that take place, sanders versus trump, clinton versus trump, you know who is doing better against trump . Bernie sanders is. In almost every state weve contested. We started off in iowa, 50 points behind. New hampshire, 30 points behind. Won new hampshire, tied in iowa. Were closing the gap here in michigan. And i think were going to surprise people on election night. As you know, the delegate math is working against you. Democrats have proportional representation. She has a 200point lead right now. A bigger lead than barack obama had over Hillary Clinton back in 2008. Dont you have to do something brandnew to try to change the dynamic . You would have to win by massive numbers in about every state. Heres what i think. Youre right. I mean your numbers are correct. But were still fairly early in the process. I think maybe 18, 19 states that have voted. We think we have an excellent chance to do well out on the west coast in california, state of washington, oregon. We have an excellent chance to do well in large states like new york. We think were going to surprise people here in michigan. So i think that time is on our side. Because, the more people get to hear our message, and that message is that we need to reform a corrupt Campaign Finance system. In which billionaires and superpacs are buying elections. One of the key differences between secretary clinton and i, she has a superpac. Millions of dollars from wall street are coming in to her campaign. We have raised almost 5 million individual contributions averaging 27 apiece. People appreciate that. Theyre tired of superpacs buying elections. I think we have momentum on our side. More people hear our message, the better were going to do. Senator sanders, thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you. Were going to turn now to the gop. A tumultuous week for the republicans. Headlines describes a party in crisis as it deals with the rise of donald trump. Heres jon karl with more on the battle to control americas grand old party. Reporter even with his saturday stumble, donald trump just dared his rivals to try to unite against him. Marco rubio had a very, very bad night. I think its time that he drops out. I would love to take on ted one on one. Oh, do i want to run against just ted. We go head to head, head to head, i beat donald trump. Reporter with two wins, cruz narrowed his gap are trump. At the end of the week where party elders hit the panic button. The hash tag never trump lighting up twitter. The republicans are eating their own. Reporter and something we have never seen before. The partys last two president ial nominees lashed out at the man on the verge of taking over the Republican Party. Donald trump is a phony. A fraud. Hes playing the American Public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the white house. And all we get is a lousy hat. Reporter now the partys power brokers are banning together the try to bring him down. Running scathing athds like thi one on trump university. Donald trump made million. While hardworking americans got scammed. Reporter he also drew fire for flipflopping on torture and immigration. Im changing. Im changing. Reporter trumps rivals are holding out hope they can keep him from getting an outright majority of delegates before the convention. Marco rubio and john kasich are banking on winnertakeall prim mares in their home states, just nine days away. Were going to win florida. Were continuing to play the delegate math in this campaign. We understand this will be a different kind of primary. Where the delegates are going to count. Were going to win ohio. That will create a whole new ball game. Reporter if they both can beat trump on their home turf, a contested convention this summer could actually happen. The guy in second place says that could tear the party apart. They seized on this master plan. We go to a brokered convention and the d. C. Powerbrokers will drop someone in. If that would happen, we will have a manifest revolt on our hands. Reporter Republican Leaders i have spoken to believe last nights results are a sign that donald trump is losing momentum. And that a contested convention is now much more likely to happen. Its also the only realistic chance of defeating trump. It may all come down to the big contests over the next nine days. 150 delegates up for grabs this tuesday, with michigan the one to watch there. And 367 delegates at stake on march 15th, with the biggest prizes, the winnertakeall states of florida and john kasichs ohio. If trump is going to be stopped, george, hes going to have to be stopped there. Okay, jon karl. Thank you very much. Lets go to governor kasich. Hes joining us as well. Thanks for joining us. Youre laughing . It sounds like a sporting event. A little bit. Like a sporting event. There are numbers as well and statistics. The numbers dont lie. Youre way behind in all the states. Last night, too. Three fourths and a third. Youre 0 for 19 overall. How do you justify staying in the race . Well, first of all, george. We did better than anybody thought we would last night. We picked up delegates in three states. We have our game plan. You were there when you put your game plan together in the old days, back when you. Werent as a broadcaster. We have our game plan. Our game plan was to do well in new hampshire. We achieved that. Did better than people thought in south carolina. We continue to pick up delegates. Were closing fast in michigan. Were going to have a good result out of michigan. Because you see, its like march madness. We have moved to the midwest. More to my territory. I will win ohio. And it will be a whole new ball game. Ill be able to compete in a lot of these states. Lets face it. There are some places in the south, i didnt we just didnt compete there really aggressively. We didnt compete in caucuses last night. We still got delegates. So just hold on, george. Look at mississippi, michigan, ohio. Lets take one step at a time. You say michigan. Brandnew poll out this morning has trump at 41, cruz, 22, rubio, 17, youre in fourth at 13. Youre not closing the gap. No, thats you have your polls. And there have been a lot of other polls that are out. Just watch. We have a lot of momentum up there since that debate. People have been very positive. I was there for a couple of days. I will be back. And i can tell you that we are closing the gap. And you will see a better result than what you expect. And then, of course, we go to the Gravitational Center of the political universe in ohio. Ohio always is, that is for sure. Its amazing. That is your home state. If you look at the numbers, even if you win ohio, theres no realistic path for you to get the number of delegates you would need before the convention. Your entire strategy is a spoiler strategy, isnt it . Win ohio, broker the convention. No. Look, george. George, first of all. Lets talk about what the strategy ought to be. The strategy ought to be who has the record and the vision to run the United States of america . And to be the leader of the free world . Ive been endorsed now, i think by 30 major newspapers in this country. What do they all say . Hes the guy that can do this. Hes the guy that can bring people together. Were not running for class president. This is not valentines day where we stuff the ballot box, okay . Secondly, my message is starting to really get out there, george. And you know, and i just had a commentator tell me the other day, if you dont start namecalling, youre not going to get anywhere. You see, im not going to do that. And i think people are realizing it. And i tell them, lets send a message. At the same time, let me interrupt you. This has been your consistent message all year long. Youre the experienced guy. The guy that can make the system work. Donald trump, ted cruz are promising to shake the system up. And theyre the ones getting the votes. Well, george, ive shaken the system up more than anybody that is on that stage. As you know. I have never been establishment. You know how many toes i had to step on to get the budget balanced in washington. To reform the pentagon take on defense contractors. What ive done in ohio. Im not an establishment guy. The problem is, you guys didnt give me coverage. For six months i wallowed at 1 in the polls. Why . Because im not namecalling. Ive had you on the show from the very first day you announced and you know that. You know im not just talking about you. You want to look at the numbers. The amount of coverage people get when they namecall . As compared to the discussion about policy and who can run the country. Fair point. Thats indisputable. You know that. So heres the situation. Look, im going to be competing up north. The calendar worked in the south. Didnt work great for me. We never worried about that. Our strategy was always to survive and get to the north. Forget the marist poll. I dont know who took it, what its about. If i thought it was true, i would tell you were not doing better. We are doing better. Were going to win ohio. Im going to be competitive all across the north. You said this already. You know youre banking on the possibility of a brokered convention would turn to you. Thats your only way to victory . George, no one is going to have the numbers. What are you talking about . I would have to win 68 of the remaining contests. Okay . 68 of the remaining delegates. Marco would have to win 64, ted would have to win, 60. Donald trump will fall short. This is not like this is the way its going. If trump wins all the rest of these things, hell go to the convention with the right numbers. But if he doesnt have the right numbers, were in a multiballot convention. What is the big deal about that . Other than its exciting. And you know what, this year, is there anything else to be expected with the way things have gone this year . Lets just, ill tell you what will be great about it. I agree with ted cruz from the standpoint, we cant let a bunch of washington insiders pick the nominee. You know why . I would have no chance at that. Because they dont like me. Plain and simple. But, think about how much education our kids are going to get about the way in which we pick a president. It will be fantastic in this country. So spending their time, you know, looking at some of these hollywood stars. Theyre nothing wrong with that. Now theyll spend more time thinking about how we pick a president. I think it will be very cool. But you dont think theyll be watching a Republican Party split apart . I think at the end of the day, the Republican Party is a reflection of the nominee. Frankly, i went to cpac. Conservative Political Action committee. They said, you know, kasich, we dont know if hes a conservative. I got two standing ovations. They were energized. I beat Hillary Clinton by 11 points, more than anybody else. We can get the crossover votes. And my agenda is i got a shock and awe agenda for the first 100 days of congress. So the fact is well bring the party together. I dont worry about that. I worry about making sure to get on your show so people can hear my message of Economic Growth and providing Economic Security for americans. You got it today. Governor kasich thank you for joining us. All right, george. Thank you. Are we headed for a brokered convention . Will it split the gop in two . Glenn beck and Reince Priebus join us next.
