Candidates taking each other on ahead of the critical primary votes tuesday. Trump racking up another big karl starts jon. Reporter good morning, amy. Last night may have been the last big chance to takeut for the most part they didnt even seem to try. Trump kicked off the debate by touting another big endorsement from one of hisrivals. Tomorrow morning. Reporter his debate with his tame. I cannot believe how civil its been uporter personal insults, interrupgs and vulgarities of the last debate disappeared. Donald trump tried to loan like the unifier this time. The republicanor whatever you want to call it should embrace whats happening. Were having millions of extra people join. We are going to beat the reporter one place trump was controversial comments about muslims. Last night you told cnn, quote, islam hates us. Did you mean all 1. 6muslims . I mean a lot of them. I mean a lot of them. Reporter marco rubio said talk like that is alienating americas muslim the world. If you go to any National Cemetery especially arlington youll see crescent moons there. In large mosques all over the have people chanting death to the usa. Reporter some of the strongest criticism came over his praise for brutalarian regimes including Vladimir Putin of the russia and the china government that mowed down protesters in tiananmen square. That doesnt mean i was endorsing it. S a strong, powerful government that put it down i think that the Chinese Government butchered those kids and when that guy stood in build a statue of him over here when he faced down the Chinese Government.

Redible nation we have that the son of a bartender and the son of a mailman and dishwasher and a successful businessman can all stand on this stage competing and for your support.

George. Okay, jon, thanks. Lets take it to senator marco rubio who joins us from palm beach. Ng us. Youre getting a lot of good reviews last night but did you do anything to slow donald trump down . Well, i dont know if itsonald trump down. I think its like any debate an opportunity to convince people that im the right choice to be president. Number of undecideds acrossn illinois and ohio and North Carolina and the other, missouri and other states in play but also in florida so i think its an opportunity to do that and an opportunity to get other candidates to give you a second look and also an opportunity to supporters. About. Thats what it was about the night we have, see if it pays dividends. Anything you wish you would have said . Well, look, i give credit to it was a policy debate. It was very policy oriented and a lot of topics we could have talked about that we didnt get to, twohour debate. I give them credit. E debate and aim good it was. I wish i would have given out my website according to most of the polls ive seen over the last several days still down by double digits in florida. One report that youre not even in the final four days . Well, were not down by double digits. Ive always ack going to be a tough fight here in florida. But were making real progress. I love all the trends that are happening and i think a couple of things are happening. Number one is there is a of voters that are now making up their minds and i think theyll head our way, i hope so anyway and feel strongly they will and a lot of kasich and cruzt realize neither of them have any chance to win and florida and if they dont want donald trump to be our nominee voting for them in florida is a vote for even if you win florida on tuesday night, get every single one of the delegates by our calculations youll need to win 78 of the remaining delegates to get t be done. Your best hope is a contested convention. How do you answer Donald Trumps argument whoever has the most delegates going to that veng should be the nominee. The majority, almost republicans do not want donald trump to be our if you have someone your frontrunner and nominee who has a significant percentage of the party rejects you wont win a i think im the only candidate left in the race who can unite the Republican Party and also grow it and so i think that is the reason why ultimatelyhe nominee. Its not going to be a traditional way. Will take a long time most people anticipated to get there. But its important and i feel really good about it,day when we win florida what it is going to mean for our campaign. Senator rubio, thanks for joining us this morning.

Said last this. There is some accountability he and his campaign have for creating anthese things happen. I think Going Forward they have to do Everything Possible to stop this kind of thing from happening.

His opponents mostly pulled their punches last night and theyre responding to the criticism of last weeks debate. Was it an overcorrection . I was fascinated.
