Watts, mel martinez, the senator ben sass. Are you worried you may make it harder to defeat the democrats in november. No, i think its just the opposite. Ive had tremendous calls from tremendous establishment people and nonestablishment people and the party is going to get bigger. If you look at any one of the primaries that i won, whether you go to New Hampshire or South Carolina or nevada, you take a look. Look at how many people have were just absolutely the numbers that double and triple in some cases what they had four years ago, were getting democrats coming in. Were getting independents coming in. Were getting a lot of people coming in and i will tell you as you know, i know the democrats very well also. They are very worried about it.

That brandnew cnn poll Shows Hillary clinton defeating you relatively handily by eight points but losing to marco rubio and ted cruz. Well, theyre not going to get the nomination. I havent even focused on Hillary Clinton yet and i can tell you the one person that Hillary Clinton doesnt want to run against is me and i have that on good knowledge. We have not focused i had one little skirmish with hillary three weeks ago and you saw what happened with that. I will defeat hillary and were going to take a lot of democrats and a lot of independents away places like michigan, new york, states that are not even in consideration and by the way, these arent things that have been taken advantage of in the poll. I will beat Hillary Clinton much more easily than anybody else. The New York Times had a look inside the democrats playbook this morning.

A couple of Bernie Sanders supporters here in the crowd with me. We have some out in times square, as well. After all the ad, all the rallies, still a lot of un undecided voters out there, right, cecilia . Reporter there are, about 30 nationally and a number of people here in this diner with me are undecided including this entire table right here. This is steve davis. You were telling me youre split between two candidates right now. Who are they . Hillary clinton and john kasich. Reporter two different parties. That shows you what were looking at today. This is interesting. We asked this question in the last few weeks and every time we ask an undecided voter those are the two names that come up like that. Its interesting. All right, cecilia, thank you im here with our Political Team, matthew dowd, Donna Brazile and jon karl. A lot to talk about. Youll here tonight as well. You heard donald trump confident about the nomination and said ted cruz and marco rubio not going to get it and their back is up against the wall. No question. The danger for them super tuesday becomes trump tuesday. If he sweeps tonight, he goes from becoming the likely or the frontrunner to becoming the likely republican nominee. What cruz and rubio have to do is find somewhere to beat him tonight and in the states he wins, hes going to win most of them they have to keep it close enough to keep getting delegates. And, of course, ted cruz still ahead in texas. See how that plays out. Matt dowd, you saw mr. Trump dismiss the idea of dividing the Republican Party but the voices inside the Republican Party getting louder and louder. Some for him but many against him as well. A huge argument going on within the establishment should they endorse or coalesce but the real division between the leaders of the party and voters of the party. The voters are going one to go another. Another thing thats interesting about tonight Bernie Sanders will win more states than marco rubio, ted cruz and john kasich combined tonight. A threat of a third party, a conservative party, a break from the Republican Party real. I think its real. For the last month or a month and a half ago i said plan a is not working. After tonight its certainly not working so have to go to plan b and only thing plan b is conservative or Republican Party that runs not as the current gop. Meanwhile, donna, democrats are throwing up their battle plans as well, the New York Times article laying out the case against donald trump. The first time democrats seem to be taking it seriously. How worried are they . Look, democrats are worried about enthusiasm. They are worried about making sure that they can energize their voters. There is no question that we have to focus on the fall election but right now today is a big day for Hillary Clinton. She has to banken 0 the fact that a quarter of the delegates will be people of color. Beyond that, can she break into bernies stronghold in the okay, Donna Brazile, jon karl, matthew dowd, well see you tonight. Abc news will be out in force all throughout the super tuesday. Ill be here with our whole Political Team usa for a prime time special at 10 00 eastern and world news tonight and gma tomorrow morning. A long day for you, thank you.
