I sure hope the president chooses a true progressive what will stand up for the values and the interests of the people of this country who understand that you need to protect the right to vote of a person, not right of a corporation to bay an election, who will understand that we still need the Voting Rights act to be enforced because too many people are being deprived of their right to vote in this country. Madeline al bright met with volunteers in texas. Vermont senator Bernie Sanders is courting voters in iowa or ohio, i should say. It appears hes focusing on super tuesday and beyond. All of the political geniuses out there are figuring out this thing. How it could be . How can you actually run a Wing Campaign with an average contribution of 27 . But i think would people are saying is not only are they supportive of what were fighting for but theyre saying Something Else. Theyre saying were going to do everything that we can to make sure that billionaires do not buy elections. The latest Quinnipiac University poll shows clinton leading sanders with 55 of democrats saying they will vote for her compared with 40 for sanders. Ohio holds its primary on march 15th. March 1st is super tuesday. 12 states and American Samoa will hold primaries and caucuses on tuesday. The republican candidates for texas are in texas for their final debate before super tuesday. Donald trump will be front and center with senators marco rubio and ted cruz on each side of him, then you have ben carson and john kasich. We are joined by our political consultant randy with what we can expect. Welcome. Thanks for having me. Lets start with the debate. Do you expect donald trump to throw the knockout punch, or is it cruz and rubio who is going to throw the punch and send them back to new york . Certainly the temptation for marco rubio and ted cruz is going to be to gang up on donald trump and try to attack. They have to. Well, hes leading the polls. Hes leading the delegate count, and the Republican Party establishment desperately want for donald trump not to be the nominee. But its more complicated than that. Because for cruz to have any chance of defeating trump, he pretty much has to knock out rubio first. And for rubio to have any chance against trump, he has to income out trump first. Seems like they just cant quit. Republican Party Leaders are privately behind the scenes reportedly making calls to the likes of john kasich and ben carson saying get out now before its too late. Its all like a complicated crazy game of survivor. Do you gang up and attack the guy who is leading . Or do you attack someone else that could be the lone survivor there . Its hard in a brief debate. Randy, you brought up delegates. Gop establishment is reportedly worried now about trump. But lets talk numbers. Super tuesday, 11 states, 595 delegates at play. Donald trump is leading now but it could be a game changer if Something Else picks up, if cruz, rubio pick up some big numbers . First of all the polls for super tuesday show that donald trump is leading in most every state except texas. And thats ted cruzs home state. What about florida. Florida is march 15th. Down the line two, weeks later. Hes leading in florida, too. But heres where rubio and cruz at least have a little shred of hope that rate now most of the states are awarded proportionately. Its not winner take all. Down the road, more of the states are winner take all. Some of the bigger states. Not california. It used to be in california but not any longer. So theyre hopeful even though theyre losing now if they win a few later they could catch up. But time is running out. Does tonight matter . Are people still listening to what theyre saying, or have most people made up their minds . I would imagine most people who are following closely have probably made up their mind, but in the super tuesday states i imagine theyre more closely focused than they had been. Yes it does matter, because again i cant emphasize strongly enough the state of panic, at least the state of panic that i hear Republican Party leaders are in over the possibility of donald trump becoming their nominee. They dont want donald trump to be the party logo. So there are calls for kasich and carson to drop out and support rubio. There are calls from conservative columnists urging republican billionaires who have so far reportedly been sitting this out to donate and pool their money to blitzkrieg the airways with attack adds on donald trump. But every time he gets hit, he just carries the momentum. Hes never lost the momentum really. And theres another problem. The other problem is right now all tess establishment Republican Party officials are rushing in to support rubio hoping to buck up his candidacy becks their preferred alternate of the ones left. But the problem is trump is doing so well becks antiestablishment. So what does an establishment endorsement mean . Heres something to keep in mind that i think is really important. For all the fretting by the Republican Party officials in some ways they really only have themselves to blame. For years now Congressional Republicans have been making promises to their con stitt you quints that they couldnt possibly keep that they would shrink the size of government that they would reverse the rules on abortion that they would get rid of obamacare, they would lower taxes. And now its coming back to bite them. Time and time again they have disappointed their own con stitt you quints. So its not surprising that their own con stitt wents have tuned them out. If someone you love keeps making you a promise and breaking the promise, you may start looking elsewhere. Some say donald trump is making crazy promises, building a wall and making them pay for it. Were out of time. We could talk to you for the whole show. We forgot clinton. Would you say South Carolina, clinton is going to take that. Thats what the polls suggest. Up next on the four on, two Golden State Warriors star steph curry set to visit a school to encourage students to drink water, but it is who is behind that message that has some people questioning the visit.

The four on 2 will be right back. The red carpet is being rolled out in los angeles. The 88th annual Academy Awards are set for this sunday. Millions will watch the best take home an oscar for their achievements. Common sense media is here to talk about how to discuss the red carpet with your children. Caroline, thanks for coming here today. So oscars. Big deal. Like the super bell for actors, right . So youre saying that all of the glitz and glamour, this is the perfect time to talk to our children about what was at these events . Exactly. Its not like you need to be like the debbie downer, this is not good for kids. Watch it and enjoy it if you like the red carpet. But you know what, you can also teach your kids a little bit of media criticism as youre watching. So you have some talking points for us. Lets start with entertainment in marketing value when it comes to turn it op. Its an hours long event. What about to entertainment in marketing value . This is a different type of show than kids watch, than any other show that kids watch. Its really about promotion and publicity. You can teach your kids that. You can say, what is the show about . What impressions do you have after watching the show . You can ask those questions to dig a little deeper about the purpose. You can say, who benefits from appearing on this . What about when theyre wearing a certain dress . This is made by soandso. Exactly. Theres no other shows the kids watch like that. Diamonds are beautiful, butt kind of celebrates superficial values. And thats what we want to help our kids realize theyre watching. What about the focus of the appearance, especially when it comes to the ladies, either criticism or rave reviews when it comes to how they look head to toe . Exactly right. Kids really do absorb these messages. They cant absorb the message that appearance is all that matters. But you as a parent with want to say, its not all that matters. What do you admire . Ask your kids what do you admire about people . You can say who is missing from the red carpet . Theres a huge controversy about who was nominated. You can see where are the africanamericans . Where are the people what have a larger body type . Those types of questions are whats going to get your kids to realize what theyre watching and have a little bit more of a critical view. It sounds like you can make it more lake a Family Experience watching it as opposed to just saying, look at that dress. You can make at more well rounded and talk about, caroline what is the ceremony about. Whats the point of it . Its about art and achievement. These are hollywood values, the red carpet. So we want to sort of interpret that for our kids and say this is really about art and achievement. A lot of kids have the achievement experience of having been in a play. You can say, when have you worked hard for something . How were you recognized . Who would you name in a speech . At the end of the day we want our kids to realize that its effort and achievement that really matters, not your appearance. And tolls realize they dont roll out of bed looking like. That i covered an oscars about three years ago, caroline. I was in that dress from noon to midnight, the longest day. Best experience, but it takes they have groups of people around one lady doing hair, makeup, touching them, make are sure, right . Exactly. We want our kids to realize its work to get to look that way. People dont get out of bed like that, and thats not the expectation that we have for you, for your kid. Its whats inside that really matters. Good advice, caroline. Thank you. Mike, mark, over to you guys. Ladies, talk about red carpet weather. Did it reach 70 degrees . Mark will have the answer. It certainly felt like it. I was in San Francisco working on a story, and i could just walk around enjoying the story. Shorts and flip flops. Looking outside here, you can see looking out towards the oakland estuary a bit of haze. San jose in the 70s for today. Everybody cooling off in your friday forecast. Possibly a few showers as well. Heres the latest on live storm tracker. You can see the clear skies over a good portion of california except we have some high clouds approaching cape mendocino. Theres a weak front out there. Definitely clouds and cooler temperatures for your friday forecast. Possibly well be tracking a few rain showers especially in the northern portions of the state that could be clipping marts of the bay area. Look at that san jose number. 76 degrees. Livermore 70, novato 7 2, and santa rosa checking in 72 degrees as well. Of course its been a very unimpressive month in terms of rainfall. In fact, these are all the rainy days so far for friday. Theres the chance of a shower. San francisco picking up under an inch of rain. February nearly 4. 5 inches of rain. This month has been atypical. Were expecting a lot more. Overnight lows, first thing tomorrow morning in the 40s to around 50. Santa rosa 42. San jose 47. Livermore in the mid40s. Heres the plan tomorrow in San Francisco. 7 00 a. M. , partly cloudy, 54. Well take this into the afternoon hours. More clouds, increasing throughout the day. 64 degrees by lunchtime. A slight chance of a shower, probably in the form of a few sprinkles by tomorrow evening between about 6 00 and 7 00. So High Pressure has really been in charge of our weather over the past few days. Tomorrow it is going to move out to the east as we showed that you front to approach our coastline. With that were going definitely cool off the temperatures. Numbers coming down a good five to ten degrees. Primary rainfall to the north of the bay area. Heres our futurecast model taking us into your friday. Definitely some clouds bi12 00 friday. Not too much in the south bay. More clouds up in the north bay. And then you can see throughout the evening hours of friday that system falls apart. So theres going to be clouds and maybe a few light showers. Saturday morning starting off with clouds. Skies becoming partly cloudy, then the slight chance of a shower into sunday. So these are all not much of a factor to change plans, but a little bit of a clang the weather pattern. The significant rainfall we need not showing up yet. San jose 68, san mateo 65, hassle mon bay 62 Half Moon Bay 62 degrees. Partly sunny saturday. Slight chance sunday. Cant put too many rain clouds in the five day. Partly sunny skies for monday and tuesday. Eventually were going get some rainfall. Coming up well talk about the pattern change that could be happening beyond the fiveday. Month of march. It seems like tomorrow is better than first thought. We beefed up the cloud cover a little bit. Maybe instead of four drops well do nine drops. Mark, thanks.
