Where both trump and senator rubio are battling for first place, comfortably ahead of senator cruz, kasich and carson. Also too early to call the republican race in vermont where kasich, who campaigned heavily there, is surprisingly competitive this hour with trump. Well have the latest for you on those races, but also in vermont, fox is now projecting the home state senator Bernie Sanders will easily defeat Hillary Clinton. So the race is coming to this, the numbers are rolling in, the votes being counted. As i just was turning to michael goodwin. Any surprise on these results early on . If rubio is close in georgia, that would surprise me, because i think that one of the that was one of the states where we fought he would not get above the 20 margin which i believe is the threshold there. 15 or 20. So thats what he needs to get delegates. If hes running close to trump for first place, it would suggest hes going to get a bunch of delegates out of it. Lou we want to say again, too close to call on the republican side in vermont, which i think surprised a lot of people. Weve got a long ways to go through this evening, and as soon as our decision desk lets us know what theyve decided, we will have the projection for you. As we sit here now, its really important to figure out the prospect here. How much does trump need to make this a we talk about a sweep loosely of the 595 votes. What ive seen so far, georgia a critical state, shortterm and longterm, is when theres a gigantic win, and my sense is that indicates hes going to have a big night. Lou and we should also point out, hes also holding a News Conference at 9 00 tonight to. My knowledge, this has never been done. Dominated the day by talk of the News Conference tonight, and from early this morning. What News Conference . What is he going to do at the News Conference and whos going to be there. Its one more example of how good he is with the media. True, he knows how to steal the microphone. Thats the theme. The candidates are dying to take the microphone. Not only to votes but story of the day. And they look desperate and he rolls in and says im going to have a News Conference, whats he going to say . He says interesting stuff and hes the guy to follow. Thats the fact. Theyre having a hard time catching him. It will be interesting to see the second place. How much of a distance between donald trump when he makes the win and the second place winner will tell us where the second place guy is going to be able to go from here. Lou and, of course, its more than just inside politics, were talking about a delegate count that will be affected, certainly going to texas. Even if cruz were to hold, and win his home state, which is what everyone expected, based on the polls going in, i mean its still a passel of delegates to win, 155 of them. My guess is rubio will not break the mark. If they do, they will split the delegates. Lou if they do, thats effectively a win for trump. That will be the total were focused on. How many delegates did each candidate get out of this . Going into today, cruz had 17 and rubio had 16. It shows you what a long road they have to travel in the delegate world. And that is in the end, thats all that matters. Trump enters the evening with 82 delegates. I got the sense talking with Lieutenant Governor dan patrick that he wasnt quite as confident. They had a million early votes in texas, and the assumption was on the part of the cruz camp those were mostly theirs, we dont know if thats holding or not. Obviously, well know more later. The interesting pattern is most of the voters, the exit stuff i heard earlier. Trump had voters early and didnt go away from him, this is the in the close like others. Hes got a solid base of voters that havent moved away from him from the start to finish. Lou going to be a fascinating evening. Stay with us, and speaking of fascinating, turn to fox news chief washington correspondent james rosen at cruz headquarters in stafford, texas with the latest. James . Reporter good evening, from the redneck country club. Yes, that is the actual name. Venue ted cruz will be addressing supporters tonight. Ive been searching in earnest of rednecks, i find hospitable texans. He spoke to reporters at the time, and instead of positting super tuesday as a do or die moment. He cast it as a potentially fatal blow to the Rubio Campaign and what cruz sees as the second and final and decisive phase of the gop primary which cruz thinks he will enjoy a clear shot at the frontrunner, donald trump. For any candidate who wakes up tomorrow morning who has not won any states. For any candidate who wakes up and has a negligible number of candidates, time to think about coming together and unifying and presenting a clear choice. Reporter here in texas, republican primary turnout increased from 2008 to 2012, and at a polling station in fort bend county, a Public Library in katy, texas, there wasnt a single moment in several hours we observed when there wasnt a line of voters waiting to cast ballots. The real questions in the Lone Star State are these, will donald trump come within striking distance of ted cruz . And will marco rubio across the 20 threshold he needs in order to walk away with any of the delegates from the Lone Star State tonight, lou . Lou interesting questions, one the microsoft cloud allows us to access information from anywhere. The microsoft cloud allows us to scale up. Microsoft cloud changes our world dramatically.

Ooh they got smoothies . For me. Lou donald trump moments ago tweeting thank you georgia. The state he has just won. We have new information now on how trump did win, and here with much of that is Fox Business Network reporter jo ling kent from our virtual studio. Jo ling . Reporter lou, big prize in georgia for the gop. 76 delegates, and i want to show you how donald trump eked out what would have been called a win right now. Those who prefer the next president to be an outsider. 59 went for donald trump. This continues ongoing trend that weve seen in other early states, georgia continuing. That but the battle for second and third place between rubio and cruz very much still happening. Want to show you something about rubio here. Those who oppose the muslim ban proposed by donald trump. They support rubio the most. You see 34 there. Rubio in the past has called this ban unconstitutional. He says it violates the constitution, he thinks trump was impulsive in proposing. That 34 of them are going for rubio in georgia. One other thing i want to show you, shared values are very important to them in this early primary race. The early exit poll data shows those people are going for cruz. You remember shared values often equate to religion in this particular case, there are expected to be many evangelicals voting in this race. Well see how they end up turning out. The secretary of state of georgia saying that voter turnout has been very, very high. Lou . Lou jo ling kent, thank you very much. Well be going back to jo ling for more as we get more information from the exit polling. Joining me political reporter for real clear politics, rebecca bird, and editor of the National Review, rich lowry, rich, great to have you here. Rebecca, any surprise for you in those demographics, those numbers that were breaking down in the exit polling that jo ling just presented . Well, some of the early exits are surprising for me in virginia and vermont, lou, where we have john kasich in a tight race with donald trump up in vermont, and in virginia, a tight race unfolding between marco rubio and donald trump. If they are able to come close to beating him or overcome him in either of the states, its going to punch a hole in the narrative that donald trump is unstoppable and hell be having people ask a lot of questions about what they did there that worked . Lou you think two states would make the difference . It could, because right now donald trump is sort of like a runaway train, so hes sort of steam rolling his way to the nomination. Lou no, i understand, i understand. Still the likely nominee. You know, lou, everyone in the party is look for some way out of. This you have donors, on Conference Call trying to figure out how they could possibly attack trump. All the candidates talking about maybe taking it to the convention floor. Lou any loophole they can find in what appears to be the republican candidate of destiny, rich lowry. I have never seen its extraordinary, i have never seen a time which the establishment of any party has been a raid against the prospective nomination of not one, but two candidates because the gop establishment, the ryans, the roundtables, the chamber of commerce, the mcconnells, are fit to be tied at the thought of cruz or trump . I dont buy that, lou, the establishment clearly doesnt like trump, elements of it. Not organized in the least. They couldnt organize a twocar parade down fifth avenue. Donald trump has not been hit with negative advertising as you would expect to see for any frontrunner of a party for eight months straight. Now it happened a little bit in arkansas and oklahoma before tonights results. You think they are opening their arms. The next ill here is the National Review is embrace donald trump as well . Because were conservative. No. Lobbyists in washington, can we deal with this guy . Yeah, theyre talking themselves into that. Trump helps that narrative by saying everything is negotiable. You have to have a little establishment. Im not a maniac like ted cruz, and whats the source of ted cruzs mania . Hes a rock ribbed conservative who believes what he says. Lou do you think he can slip here, eight victories, not ten, as have been generally thought would be his topend performance . That would have, as rebecca suggested, some influence . It will have little influence on the momentum because the media has been itching to declare this thing completely over. Lou wait a minute, wait a minute, the same media that has been attacking him full force throughout his decided now yes. Lou looking for anything . They want to make him the republican nominee and attack him more lou. Thats how it works. My goodness, sounds like a death spiral. [ laughter ] maybe its somebody circling a drain. Rebecca berg, thank you very much, rich lowry, thank you. Up next, marco rubio is banking on personal attacks to take down trump. You probably noticed. Have you seen his hands . Theyre like this. And you know what they say about men with small hands . [ cheers ] he said i have small hands . Theyre not small, are they . I never heard that one before. Ive always had people say, donald, you have the most beautiful hands. Thats where we are, folks, here on super tuesday. Will the attacks backfire . Some say they have, former ambassador to the United Nations john bolton will be here next. It is just starting to get exciting. You dont want to miss a minute on the Fox Business Network. John bolton, next. When you think what does it look like . Is it becoming a better professor by being a more adventurous student . Is it one day giving your daughter the opportunity she deserves .

Oh, look at you, so great to see you none of this works. Come on in. Lou were getting more and new information in on the republican race in virginia which remains, as you see there, far too close to call, donald trump, with 1 reporting has a lead. Hes holding almost 39 . Rubio, 31 , and cruz back at 18 . Were going to be bringing you that, and its very slow, these numbers. Im a little surprised how slow virginia is to bring the numbers. In joining us former u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations, American EnterpriseInstitute Senior fellow, john bolton. Also fox news contributor. John, its great to have you here. What do you make of the contest so far . Too close to call in vermont. Too close to call in virginia as well. Trump has taken georgia. That was expected. We dont know how those margins are going to hold up and the early margins are sizable in trumps favor, but again, so early that its hard to make anything of it. Right, i think thats right. And i think as far as the exit polls go, i havent believed exit poll in 20 years. Lou shame on you who asked me when i left who i voted for if my life depended on it. The issue is how well ted cruz does in texas. I think trump will prevail essentially everywhere else, but for senator cruz, i think he needs a substantial win in texas. I believe, based on the way his organization has handled the long, early Voting Period in texas he could well have a big win, and that propels forward into next tuesday. Some momentum for him biazzo high for kasich and florida for rubio dont come for a week after that. Lou were a little more than an hour and a half away from the polls closing in texas, were frustratingly far from that. We have alabama, massachusetts, oklahoma and tennessee to come in as well as georgia, vermont and virginia. But when you talk about what can be done there, its going to be interesting to see based on the thresholds with the 20 apportionedvote threshold in the state of texas. Whats going to happen to it . Winning it would not deny if trump does perform well there or rubio performs well there, it wouldnt deny them delegates . I worry when parties begin to tinker with their rules. The democrats had a long series beginning with the mcgovern disaster in 1972 that kept changing their rules, and it was a wonderful thing for the Republican Party and republican candidates, because its very hard to predict what these changes do. I think proportional representation generally is a mistake. I think you should reward candidates who can carry the states in the primary that they need to win in the general election. So lets take vermont on the republican side. Who cares who wins vermont. Were not going to win it in november anyway. Likewise, a mystery to me why anybody cares why Hillary Clinton won south carolina. Lou i think john kasich cares greatly tonight. Thats his best opportunity. You know, as ive always said, lou, as vermont goes, so goes the nation. Lou ambassador, one quick question, speaker ryan coming out today and carrying the democratic talking points water, talking about any candidate whos a racist, a bigot would be unacceptable. Were you shocked that the speaker would be so bald in his affront to his own party and nominees . I wasnt clear what he meant. I think the Republican Party has to be unequivocal in rejection of racism. We need to win this election in november. And people are mounting high horses at this point. Thats a mistake. We have to see who wins the primaries and caucuses and got to win in november. Lou in one or two cases, john, theyre mounting high horses when they should be looking for shetlands. Thank you very much. John bolton, good to have you with us. Good to be here. Lou a lot more ahead. Polls are closing shortly in four more key super tuesday states. Well have more information for you. Well be able to analyze this from every which direction, every which Demographic Group and category. Were watching a very competitive race at this hour in virginia. Early yet, 1 of the vote as you look at the totals. They havent moved for some time. We expect those to roll up quickly. The National Liberal media and the gop political establishment trying manufacture controversy around donald trump. Shame mr. Trump, how do you feel about the recent endorsement from david duke . I didnt even know he endorsed me. David duke . I disavow, okay . Lou for the speaker of the house paul ry
