public opinion. no guarantee. attacks from the establishment could make trump stronger. >> what is one of the most plausible approaches? >> i guess the shortest long shot would be to deny trump the delegates needed for the nomination. by launching a withering set of ads immediately in delegate rich states, ohio, florida, which volt on march 15th. the hope would be to tear trump down and give some other candidate a chance to win. then there would be no clear winner. and the delegates could be persuaded to pick some one other than trump in possibly more controlled environment of the convention. >> looking quickly at democrats. does sanders have a shot against hillary clinton at this point? >> a very, very distant shot. he is winning states. she is winning more than he is. she has a delegate lead. unless something changes she is on the way off to the nomination. >> john dickerson. in houston, the police have released an incredible video today. it shows a team of thieves

truck. smashed the windows. attached a chain to the doors and pulled them off the hinges. ten people rushed in and ran through the store, smashing glass cases with hammers. grabbing handguns by the sackful. at this angle we see one man scoop up four rifles off the back rack. an early investigation shows the thieves got away with at least 50 weapons. scott, so far there have been no arrests.

improving. alex donahue sets the odds. >> the trump odds shortened up. he was 3:1. now 2:1. >> more likely. >> 2:1, scott is a good bet. clinton's odds are even better. here is a sobering thought. in

shut down many clinics. justice sam alito, there is information that they closed for reasons that had nothing to do with this law. texas passioned the law in 2013, amid national outcry over a pennsylvania clinic where a doctor was convicted of killing a patient and three infants in botched late term abortions. the law requires clinics to operate more like surgery centerers and have doctors with admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. texas representative jody laudenberg sponsored the bill. that its what this is all about. women's health. and quality of care. >> reporter: amy hegtrom miller, ceo of the abortion clinic challenging the law said it was a smokescreen. >> this law is cruel. harsh and does nothing to advance medical health for women. >> reporter: the key vote here as in all abortion cases is the moderate conservative anthony kennedy. today he did not tip his hand. he did ask whether the court should send this case back to lower courts to get more evidence. and scott,
