What his opponents face. Especially rubio and cruz. He won new hampshire. They said South Carolina evangelicals would stop him. He won South Carolina. They said he couldnt win caucuses, couldnt win latinos, couldnt handle marco rubios ties. Tonight, a closer look at the whole trump phenomenon. Something weve never seen before as well as Donald Trumps own take on it and my conversation. We begin with Phil Mattingly covering the campaign. Super tuesday now less than a week away. What is trumps strategy moving forward . Well, anderson, its make the south trump country. If you paid any attention to Donald TrumpsCampaign Schedule over the left few months, he continued to sprinkle in trips down south. Theres a reason. Obviously, super tuesday. 25 of available delegates up for grabs. Over the next week, donald trump turning that southern priority into overdrive. Hes got visits to georgia, tennessee, alabama, oklahoma, arkansas, all states that vote on march 1st. All states that are crucial to donald trump closing whatever door that stills remains open to other candidates and shutting it for good. Reporter with the gop debate tomorrow, obviously, i mean its unclear whether trump is going to be attacking cruz or rubio. Certainly preparing for attacks from those two. Is his campaign showing signals of how he plans to handle that . Look, if you watched all the debates you know if he gets swung at, hell swing back. Started with a prebuttal today taking a few swipes at ted cruz. Some tried and true jabs dealing with citizenship or dealing with whether or not people in texas or washington actually like ted cruz. Did the same thing on twitter today. Youll note hell go after ted cruz no matter what. What donald trump does tomorrow night. Its what the other candidates do to him as you know quite well. The gop establishment is scrambling trying to figure out some way to stop this momentum thats gone forward. Tonight will mark the first night and the last major opportunity on the public stage before super tuesday for those candidates to really go to work on trying to stop donald trump, anderson. Phil mattingly, thanks. Now marco rubio out of state when the nevada results came in. Pretty much went straight to bed as soon as the outcome was known. He held a Campaign Event here. Jason carroll was there and joins us now. Whats rubios message after nevada because at some point if he wants to beat trump he actually has to beat trump. Yeah. Very true, anderson. His message postnevada is the same message his Campaign Says before nevada which is he is the conservative that can unite this party. Look, the campaign also recognizes they are feeling the pressure of the calendar. They do have to start winning some races here. Ideally they would like this to be a twoman race. They want the field to narrow. Once that happens, hopefully after super tuesday, they are hoping this would be a race between themselves and trump. And in their words, if they can go manoemano with him in the ring, their words, not mine, hopefully they can land some punches. Also the campaign telling us they feel strong going into super tuesday. And in terms of trump, rubio spoke about this earlier. And he basically says he does not believe trump is as popular as some of those polls show. The majority of Republican Voters in this country do not want donald trump to be the nominee. Thats been pretty clear now. The problem is they are divided among four people. Anderson, rubio also saying that he does not want this campaign to be about attacking trump. He said in his rally earlier that we just came from, he wants this campaign to be something his children can look back at and be proud of. Anderson . In terms of the strategy for rubio the next few days, how is allocating time and money ahead of super tuesday . They are feeling good about their finances. They feel as though they had a strong showing in South Carolina. Got a financial bump out of South Carolina. So in terms of finances, they are feeling good. In terms of strategy, its going to be what some of the other candidates are going to be doing. Theyll be hitting every super tuesday state with a special emphasis on states like arkansas, oklahoma, virginia, and also georgia as well. They also acknowledge that tomorrow here at the debate is going to be key for them. Rubio has to perform well here tomorrow night. They acknowledge that. He cannot have another performance disastrous performance like he had at that debate in new hampshire. Anderson . Jason kaurcarroll, thanks ve much. Ted cruz picked up an endorsement from greg abbott. Recent polling gives him about a fivepoint edge on trump but does not take into account reaction to last night. Cnns Sunlen Serfaty is traveling with the Cruz Campaign and joins us now. The idea that texas, more than anywhere else is cruzs best chance to get another win, which he obviously badly needs, how confident is the campaign tonight . Well, they are confident, ander anderson. A cruz adviser saying theyre very optimistic with their chances of how well theyll do here in texas. This adviser adds they are going to compete for every vote and making sure not to take anything for granted. Cruz ruled out that big endorsement today with the texas governor. That goes a long way on the ground. Really sends them into voting next tuesday with a big boost of momentum. There are a lot of delegates at stake here in texas. 155 delegates. Cruz himself today called it the crown jewel of super tuesday. You couple that with the symbolic nature of this state for ted cruz being his home state, that set the stakes very high for him to do well here. We heard senator cruz spinning his third place showing in nevada into some sort of almost victory sounding speech. Is he sticking with that rationale and acknowledging he needs to do better . Hes not acknowledging that in any way. Hes not acknowledging weakness or that he needs to improve. He is saying very clearly when we spoke to him in a press availability earlier today that hes going to compete for every vote. Hes going to campaign very aggressively this week. I think its very clear he has an understanding of the stakes, and thats in large part why weve seen him sort of ratchet up the rhetoric in a dramatic way saying this is a pivotal week. But not claiming that its a pivotal week for him which is an important difference. Hes call super tuesday the most important day of the election. It cant be overstated. Weve said toime and time again how much super tuesday is such a pivotal and important date for the Cruz Campaign. Theyve staked so much, investing in this strategy. Of course, theyve got to perform. Sunlen serfaty, well see. In a few moments a conversation with our team of political analysts and professionals about how donald trump has up ended the race so far. First my conversation late today with the candidate himself. Mr. Trump, congratulations. An enormous win last night in nevada. Third in a row beating your opponents nearly every category. Do you see the race for the nomination ending sooner than a lot of pundits predicts . I dont see it going to the convention. I think were doing very well. In terms of last night, what do you read in the numbers . You beat cruz among evangelicals, very conservative. Really among almost every category of voter. I think we won just about every category. And it was just, you know, a special evening. Special people. I know the state very well. Ive invested in the state very heavily and done well there. And they are just great people. Weve had three in a row now. Three special groups of people. The whole country is special to people. And its i sort of think its a movement. Supporters of senator cruz have said its crucial he wins texas for him to even consider moving forward. Do you think you could possibly win texas . Do you think you can beat him there . Ill give you his answer to that later. And mitt romney said i think theres something looming in the taxes. Well have Donald Trumps response to that. You can imagine what it might be. A rare and revealing interview with Melania Trump about what her life was like before her marriage. All ahead on the program tonight. With advil, youll ask what backache . What sore wrist . What headache . What bad shoulder . Advil makes pain a distant memory. Nothing works faster stronger or longer than advil its the worlds 1 choice. What pain . Advil. Im there for ray. Sie. Ted loved baseball. Dr. Phil likes to watch football. Renne, who wants sloppy joe on the menu every day. Rosies my best friend. Evelyn likes to dance. Harriett wants her fried shrimp as well. Alice anne likes Vanilla Ice Cream with chocolate syrup and rainbow sprinkles. They give me so much back. I cant even imagine how i could possibly give them what they give me. 80 but up to 90 fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. Lets do more. Add one a day womens 50 complete multivitamin. With vitamin d and calcium to help support bone health. One a day. Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon. Then quickly fell back to earth landing on the roof of a dutch colonial. Luckily geico recently helped the residents with homeowners insurance. They were able to get the roof repaired like new. They later sold the cow because they had all become lactose intolerant. Call geico and see how much you could save on homeowners insurance.

And six is greater than one. Complete allergy relief or incomplete. Let your eyes decide. Flonase. 61 changes everything. I spoke late today with donald trump who is getting ready for tomorrows nights cnn debate here in houston and hoping to turn his string of three victories into many more. Heres part two of my conversation with the republican frontrunner. Supporters of senator cruz have said its crucial he wins texas for him to even consider moving forward. Do you think you could possibly win texas . Do you think you can beat him there . I could win texas. I dont know that i will. Thats the only state im a little bit down. Oklahoma im way up, and interestingly, in massachusetts, im way up, almost 50. And were doing well all over. Florida were doing very well. And i know alabama and arkansas, just about every place we are going to be. Georgia has been in particular, georgia has been strong. Were looking forward to a good week next week. You never know in the world of politics. You know that better than i do. Compared to senator cruz, youve been fairly mod nest going after senator rubio. I want to get your reaction to something rubio said this morning about your win in nevada. Im going to play a sound bite from him. A majority of Republican Voters in this country do not want donald trump to be the nominee. I think thats been pretty clear. The problem is they are divided up among four people. Do you buy that argument that the fact that theres a divided field going against you that its allowing you to win . No, i dont because i think i would do very well with one on one. Id almost like that. It would really be a simp live kagss. When you get up to 46 and 47 , and thats in a sevenperson field. Thats at a very high position. I laugh at the pundits who say if you add up all of the rest, its 53. When people leave, i pick up a lot of votes. You are gearing up for the cnn debate tomorrow night. What do you see as senato rubios biggest vulnerability. I think ill save that for tomorrow night. We have to keep some good action for tomorrow night. Well be totally prepared. People have not done very well against me. So far everybody thats attacked me has gone down. Maybe thats a good thing for the country because maybe thats what our country needs. Everybody thats attacked me jeb bush spent probably 15 million to 20 million on negative ads on me. The only reason i went after him was because of that. He spent a tremendous amount. Spent 150 million but he spent about 20 million on negative ads on me which was not very nice. You talked about also winning the 44 of the latino vote last night. Obviously some polling experts who point out there were so few people involved in the caucus in terms of latinos it represents about 0. 5 of the entire latino population in nevada. Are you planning to make more of an outreach to latinos and africanamericans . Well, i think so. When you say one half of one percent, i dont know what that represents. We got 46 of the latino vote and that was far more than anybody else in the field. And thats pretty good, i think. Obviously, its not the whole nation but its what we had to deal with. We were dealing with that area and got 46 of the vote. I think thats indicative of the nation, actually. I want to move on to senator cruz. On monday he seemed to toughen his talk on illegal immigration saying hed push for i. C. E. Agents to look for, deport undocumented immigrants. It was an interview this past january he said, i dont intend to send boots to knock on your door. Do young hes changing his stance . He is also changing his stance. He wants to build a wall. I heard it from him and somebody else. They are all copying me. We have Sheriff Joe Arpaio supported me. So you know in terms of that kind of endorsement, its probably the ultimate. The fact is he was weak on immigration, and the illegals, as far as he was concerned. He was willing to give amnesty and you know that debate between him and rubio and it went on very long and loud. But he was very, very weak on illegal immigration. Now hes getting tough. And he is because hes getting very nervous. I watched him the other day. Hes a nervous wreck. He didnt know this was going to happen to him. Now hes in third place, not even in second. Looks like rubio is taking over, reasonably solid in second place. Im in first place by quite a bit, but he has very much toughened his stance because he was losing. Youve been asked when youll release your tax returns. On monday you said youd do it at some point. Just today you probably know mitt romney said, quote, i think theres reason to believe theres a bombshell in trumps taxes. Mitt romney refused to release his taxes for quite a while. Ults m ultimately did. Why not just get them out there . Well have his answer to that and more on my interview with donald trump after a break.

Youve been asked when youll release your tax returns. On monday you said youd do tat some point. Today mitt romney said, quote, i think theres reason to believe theres a bombshell in trumps taxes. We should point out mitt romney refused to release his taxes for quite a while. Why not get them out there . Because my returns are complex. Ill make them at the right time. Nobody has been bringing it up but mitt romney. He brought it up because he lost in the last election and lost very badly. I dont know why hes bringing it up. I have many, many companies. I have tremendously i have a very complex system of taxes. And frankly, i get audited every single year. So unlike everybody else who never gets audited, i get audited every single year which i think is unfair. But i go through large audits. Well make a determination over the next couple of months. Point blank does that mean you absolutely will release them . Its just a question of when . I will make a determination over the next couple of months. A lot of polls last night, they said they wanted change and wanted somebody from outside of government. Obviously that is all good for you. Once you are actually in the white house if you actually make it and become president of the united states, im not going to ask you who your Vice President would be. Its too early for that. You wouldnt even say if you had been considering it but are you going to look for somebody with political experience to help you with congress and help you once youre in washington if you get there . Yes. The answer is yes. I would not do im very political and ive been political and youve known me for a long time. And ive gotten tremendous zone changes and tremendous, you know over the years ive been a very political person. Ive supported politicians and all. But i would absolutely not need another business person. Ill have many business people, i mean, some of the greats. Carl icahn endorsed me. Many of them endorsed me, the best ones. Youd want someone with congressional experience id want someone with political skill because thats where i would really want tha
