A must of school yard taunt and real political urge season. Off color. Nobody has ever commented on my hands. He referred to my hands if that is something, Something Else must be small. I guarantee you there is no problem. I guarantee it. Lets see the answers. Dont worry about it, little marco. In mere minutes, it turned into a personal affair and stayed that way all night. Count to 10, donald. Count to 10. Three candidates desperate to stop one, donald trump. Florida senator marco rubio on full attack trying to stay alive with a win in his home state of florida. And hes asking us to make him the president of the United States of america. This is not a reporter texas senator cruz in a one on one fight with trump. If you went to manhattan and said im lying to the American People no. Youre the lying guy up here. Youre the one. Youre the one i have given my answer, lying ted. Continuing to believe his lower volume pitch will get him through his own march contest in his home state. Three times. Ten times. In 2008 he wrote four checks to elect Hillary Clinton as president. His Business Practices. Ever heard of trump stakes. You know what, you know what, take a look at trump stakes. He has spent a career convincing americans something hes not in exchange for their money. Now he is trying to do it with the country. Stkpwhrr in two Interviews Trump appeared to flipflop. Do you believe american boots should stay on the ground in afghanistan to stabilize the situation. We made a terrible mistake getting in there just in the first place. About afghanistan, you said we made a terrible mistake. Our question was about afghanistan. Okay. I never said that. How is any of this telling it like it is . In afghanistan, i went iraq. I corrected it the second day. Cnn just came out with a poll. Excuse me, a National Poll, a National Poll where hes at 15, hes at 14. And im at 49. Are you at 15 in the new cnn poll . Do you believe in cnn . I watched a cnn interview donald did. This network being brought up a dozen times. The clock is ticking for trumps competitors, to stop him before he moves to the next battle. I beat Hillary Clinton in many polls. I beat her in a recent fox poll. I beat Hillary Clinton in usa today. I beat her in a poll today in ohio. Im the only one that beats Hillary Clinton. And i have not started on hillary yet. Believe me, i will start too. I havent even started it. If you pitched it as a screen play, it would get laughed out of anybodys office. If you did it at school, you would go to the principals office. If you did it where i grew up, you would get knocked unconscious. It is being passed at political dialogue. David gregory, mark preston and sara murray. Mark preston, i start with you. We had heard this was linked to a new strategy. What did you see last night . I think if you are a republican and youre watching that stage, you are looking at john kasich and saying, wow, this is the only grownup here. For someone who has not had great debate performance as of late, this is said about ted cruz. I think cruz was fair live effecti effective. I have no problem. Hes relishing. I would never you could have bet me anything you wanted that nobody would ever talk about this in a president ial race and i would be paying out the rest of my life. Do you realize youre probably the first person in American History to make a joke about your you know what. I only made a joke about my hands. Arent they beautiful . I have powerful hands and relatively large hands. And a politician said i didnt have large hands. Its the first time anyone has ever south side that one. I think it was a good moment. Mrs. Trump, what did you think of that moment . It was a great moment. Okay. No, it was fine. He was attacked. And marco rubio attacked him, and he responded. Who wants to take this one . Dana bash having the moxie to put the mike to mr. Trump after that. Sara murray, you take it. Go ahead. Sayre is ra, what did you think of that moment . Wow, im so lucky to get this one. As soon as i was watching this play out, i just felt like do these guys even want to win voters in a general election . Im watching this play out on stage and i cant believe this is what it has come down to. A lot of people are sitting at home thinking the same thing. Sure, it may have been light hearted and funny, but the idea they are running to be the next leader of the free world. And they are talking about their hand size and maybe the size of Something Else struck me as very beneath the level of discourse we want to be at, particularly at this point in a race. And i cant imagine i was alone in that feeling. David, switching topics. Some pundits are calling this cnns debate. It was referenced a dozen times. They used a clip from new day. Big night for new day. Big night for the morning of new day. Let me play for you this clip pointing out trumps inconsistencies. Mr. Trump, one of the things people love about you is they believe you tell it like it is. But time and time again in this campaign, you actually told the voters one thing only to reverse yourself within weeks and sometimes even days. The first is whether the war in afghanistan. Do you believe american boots stay on the ground to stabilize the situation . We made a terrible mistake getting involved in the first place. That place will collapse two seconds after they leave. Just as i said iraq was going to collapse. About afghanistan, you had we made a terrible mistake getting involved in the first place. We made a mistake going into iraq. Our question was about afghanistan. Okay. I never said that. Wouldnt matter. I never said it. And there are many other examples. How is any of this telling it like it is . In i meant iraq. With afghanistan, we have to stay a while because it is next to pakistan and we have to protect afghanistan. Last night was an important moment of accelerating that case. It was basic saying, and you heard it from rubio effectively. You heard it even more effectively from ted cruz, the guy who tells it like it is just telling you what you want to hear. He shoots from the hip and doesnt think before he talks. That can be something dangerous as a president. You cant trust what youre getting is the real thing. Whether its a businessman or someone who starts Trump University that he is a fraud. You just cant belive it. At a time when so many supporters want authenticity have either of his primary rivals have undermined his authenticity. Divide and conquer. Everybody has a role to play. Theyre not trying to beat trump. They are trying to stop him at this point. Or divide and survive. Which we will talk about after the break. Preston, i dont know what your take is. But i felt the reason they were using cnn is the fact that they dont have more of their own clips. Its who they didnt show last night. This was somewhat of a reflection who had given trump a pass. Now we have reached this moment. In many ways, chris, what is interesting about what happened last night, if you are a republican voter or someone who is focusing on this race right now, you have to be thinking to yourself, what is happening to. Davids point about the idea of surviving and everybody trying to get a little piece of this, we heard mitt romney say yesterday in his speech, lets have john kasich go to ohio and win ohio and his 66 delegates. And marco rubio go to florida and win his 99 delegates. That is to deny donald trump to get to 1,237 in june. Lets take a break. Then we will come back and take a look at why we were seeing this last night. Was it just madness . Actually, no. Theres a method to that. We will have one of the main players. We will have senator marco rubio. Certainly a lot of light on him last night. And we will talk about why this is the new strategy. On the democratic side, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are making their lastminute push. Cancan Bernie Sanders make up much needed ground. Good morning, michaela. All eyes on michigan. A whole slew of states, mississippi, florida, illinois, ohio, north carolina, kansas, louisiana, they will all be voting over the next two weeks. Sit michigan that holds its primary next week. It is front and center because of the debate. The flint water crisis caused both candidates to make the citys predicament part of their stump speeches. They have already visited that city. And the debate will show how they handle the issue. Big picture, its crunch time for Bernie Sanders as he cherry picks for votes in states he hopes he can pick up a few delegates. Lets listen. We started off at 3 in the polls. 60, 70 points behind second clinton. On tuesday, we won major victories. Not by a little bit. I think and of all of you and your friends and coworkers come out saturday, we will have a pretty good victory here in kansas. Hillary clinton, for her part, spent last night listening to the republican candidates and their speeches, mocking them at times on social media. She is going to be traveling in michigan today in detroit, giving a speech about jobs. And Bernie Sanders is going to be in illinois, then wrapping up in western michigan. Busy schedule for him. Thanks so much, joe. Were calling it march madness on cnn next week. Super saturday coverage. Sunday the next democratic debate in flint, michigan, followed by race to the white house. And next tuesday is super tuesday. Wednesday, a debate in miami. And thursday a gop debate in miami. Im going to start resting up right now. You should. Ted cruz and marco rubio unleashing on donald trump. Will it work to slow trumps momentum . Thats next. They speak louder. We like that. Not just because were doers. Because were changing. Big things. Small things. Spur of the moment things. Changes youll notice. Wherever you are in the world. Sheraton. Every Auto Insurance policy has a number.

He should have beaten president obama very easily. He failed miserably. It an embarrassment to everybody, including the Republican Party. I guess he wants to be relevant. He wants to be back in the game. That was donald trump going after 2012 nominee mitt romney. By the end of the debate, all the candidates agreed to support the eventual nominee. How is that going to work . Lets welcome in Time Warner Cable news errol lewis. Errol, let me start with you. The hours leading up to last nights debate. In the morning, mitt romney appears at university of utah and talks about trump else unfitness for office basically. John mccain followed up and said, i would also echo the many concerns about mr. Trumps uninformed and indeed dangerous statements on National Security issues. I want republican vote stories think long and hard about who they want to be our next commander in chief and leader of the free world. All of that. The establishment is coalescing, it seems, to point out some of their misgivings. How is all of that playing . We will see how it plays out. It is extraordinary actually. To read the transcript of mott romneys speech, it is well argued, concise, touches on all Different Things. His temperament, demeanor, obscenities, the violence. Playing footsie with racists. To your midlevel party leadership. Volunteer county chairs, people who influence others to say, look, think long and hard. And hes saying im not going to do it. John mccain said if you believed in me in 2008, im not going in in direction. It will be up to the voters. Also, again, that important middle strata to guide is this the way we want to go. Two interesting points. As soon as alisyn says the word establish werement, it mitigates those people with donald Trump Supporters. 70 say theyre not changing their mind on donald trump no matter what others think. It it it is an unfolding strategy. No doubt. Errol is right. What mitt romney did yes, maam was emboldened. They didnt think he was Strong Enough in 2012, neuer was he smart enough when he was taking on barack obama when it comes to the strategy of winning. What mitt romney was doing yesterday and what we havent seen done up to this point is to have some kind of unifying voice to make the case against trump that didnt have a stake in the game, meaning marco rubio, ted cruz or john kasich or any others that had been running up to this point. Does mitt romney want to get back in the game. It all depend on those you talk to in his inner circle. But this is how it will play out the next few months. My 10yearold son would say, this just got real. The idea that the establishment is some group of moderate swishes is not accurate. There is a conservative core to the gop establishment, even though they may be in some disfavor. This is about the tonage of trump and exposing his vulnerabilities. Donald trump signaled that he will negotiate on this whole business of deporting 11 million Illegal Immigrants in the United States. Thats a big deal. That is either flexibility or he has no true north. And he would order torture even if it is considered illegal. I think part of this divide and conquer is to say at all Different Levels within the Republican Party, this is someone who should be disqualified. That said, i think it is striking. Its a question for senator rubio. The extent to which they are saying he should not be considered, that he could destroy the party, they will say, well, when hes nominee, we will still support. Disqualify has been a buzz word. You hear it from party leadership. Certainly theres something afoot. Anybody who is making phone calls is hearing the same thing. This isnt divide and conquer. It is divide and convention. How will this work this idea of even car son being asked to stay in the race. What is the theory now about we need everybody . Sure. The theory is roughly 1,200 votes are needed to become the nominee. Delegates are bound to vote is once for who they were sent to the convention to support. That leaves outliers. They go and cast their first vote. After that, anything can happen. And so the notion of deny, deny, deny, to try to keep donald Trump Delegates from having a firm majority. Under 1,237. Get in the convention. Then what. Thats what we talk about with a brokered convention. Come with this guy, come with that guy. It will look different with several more debates and a bunch of other strategy that will be playing out and election returns from the primary states. We have seen in the last 30 days, 10 million in ads spent against trump. That moves the needle. You dont know whats going to happen. There is talk of a unity ticket between rubio and cruz. There is a reason mitt romney has decided not to endorse. They need to hold back to play a role in negotiating some kind of outcome if this strategy can be pulled off. David, mark, errol, thank you so much. We do need to save time. We are talking with one of the republican candidates. Marco rubio will be here this hour. We look forward to that.
