The attack against donald trump. America never stopped being great. Does the Clinton Campaign fear the gop frontrunner . Plus, ill go one on one with former mexican president vincente fox over Donald Trumps plan to build a war on the border. Hannity starts right here right now. Welcome to hannity and tonight donald trump is surging towards the gop nomination after winning seven states in super tuesday. And following his Strong Performance trump says hes the candidate to bring the Republican Party altogether. Take a look. I am a unifier. I would love to see the Republican Party and everybody get together and unify. And when we unify, theres nobody, nobody thats going to beat us. Here with reaction, contributor herman cane, Geraldo Rivera and Monica Crowley with us. Herman, lets start with last night. I think if you add it two ways, if you agree that donald trump and ted cruz the insurging candidates, 10 for trump, 4 for cruz and 1 for marco rubio. You now see the reaction from the establishment. What is your take . My take is the establishment thought four months ago that trump was going to flame out. He didnt. He got stronger. So the establishment i believe is acting insane and irresponsible. Because now theyre in a panic because they cant control trump so now they do want to get behind marco rubio. Theres nothing wrong with trying to promote the person what you want to support. The problem i have, sean, is they also simultaneously want to try to stop somebody else. The American People who voted for trump have spoken. Let it play out. If hes nominee, they ought to support him. I have a twitter fight earlier with this plit come high, geraldo. I went on radio saying that this is not the marco rubio i have known all these years. How many times in his interview last night can he say con artist and fraud and wont denounce the kkk and hired Illegal Immigrants and misspelled the words and the size of his hands . Thats not marco. It seems to me the establishment is putting this in his head and regurgitate it. I have big hands. Thank you. Marco rubio clearly took on the role as attack dog. Marco rubio became what Chris Christie did to him. Chris christie destroyed marco rubios candidacy. Is this the real marco rubio . I dont think thats marco himself. I dont im not a shrink. I dont care. I only know what i see. Marco rubio tried to take down trump and indeed if you analyze the results last night, i think donald trump underperformed. Now, marco rubio is effective in some of the attacks and same time marco rubio destroyed his own character. He made himself smaller than he is. Than he could be. He i think e lemm naliminated ae to be the nominee. It seems underperform and still triumphant. No doubt about it. I think i would i think theres influence coming from outside. I think he is being fed this, probably promised a lot of money. I dont think this is the marco that we have known and, you know, except for comprehensive immigration, a lot of people respected, to me it is like a ckamikazi mission. What now . Theyre all going to blow up the party because they so hate the insurge insurgency . Yeah. The establishment is panic mode for a listening time about donald trump and only now starting to get really serious about it and they have decided that marco rubio is probably their best shot at retaining control of the party apparatus. Remember, they hate donald trump but they fear him more because they cant control him. So i think they hate cruz, too. Of course. Of course because hes blowing up the whole system, too. With rubio, and what hes done over the last week or so, i think the calculation is that the only way you have any chance of trying to take donald trump down is by mirroring him. By mocking him, dismissing him, the way hes done with so many other candidates from jeb bush to marco rubio to ted cruz. That youve got to fight him on his own territory. The problem is donald trump is the master of this game. And you cant beat the master at his own game. And if anything, her man cain, donald trump showed a side of himself. Speaking objectively here. Not taking sides in this. But donald trump showed a side of him that was very different last night. You could use the word president ial in the way he approached. He was magnanimous coming to ted cruz and his victories. How tough it is to run for president. You know, and what im watching sheer the kitchen sink, scorched earth, mma knuckle brawl and where does this go tomorrow night in the debate, herman cain . Well, i agree with you. I saw a different donald trump through the eyes of the lens of the media last night when he did sound more president ial. He sounded conciliatory. He sounded calmer and up touched on some significant substance issues. This is what i heard from my callers and listen erps to my radio show today. Now, where does this go tomorrow in the debate . Well have to wait and see because as you know ben carson whats announced he wont be there called for more civility. Lets see whether or not marco rubio is going to continue the attack not happening. Attack dog approach you talked about which i think thats just not his character and i think that makes him seem smaller by trying to continue to go down that road and then lets see what happens tomorrow. Is the big unknown. Geraldo, i think this is going to be an mma, bare knuckles bloody brawl tomorrow and theyre going to try to take trump out in one pump. Its a hail mary. I agree. I dont know why youre giving marco rubio the benefit of the doubt. He was a little snot nose in the attack on trump. Trump, on the other hand, as a person who considers him a friend, i love donald trump. He profoundly disappointed me, sean, with that kkk david duke thing. Dont tell me about the disavowals. Stop. He did it in august. Social media. 1976 100 times, geraldo. Give me one intelligence. June 1976 first interviewed david duke at a cross burning outside of new orleans. I have known this guy over 40 years. He is a disgusting he is a racist punk. Fine. Everybody says how many times does he have to say it . Why did donald trump, why did donald trump allow even an equivocation . There wasnt. Thats not accurate what youre saying. The power he has. Thats not the accurate. That david duke is a stop. Is scum. He said it in august. He said it on friday. He said it on social media all weekend. Youre not being fair. For the fact that he allowed why not condemn wit the same vigor that he condemns the chicago gang bangers or isis . Because thats where he resides. To bring it back to tomorrow night at the fox news debate, look, marco rubio is constantly trying to bait donald trump into mutual combat on territory that they both understand. Mocking, dismissing, ridiculing. My advice to donald trump is dont take the bait because if you start taking the bait and falling into the trap, youre fighting on the same ground. What trump did yesterday not his nature, though. Yes. But what he did yesterday, he called a press conference rther than a campaign rally. Very smart. He took questions from the press. His demeanor was calmer, more president ial. I think if he proceeds that way hell end up calming a lot of fear that is a lot of people might have about trump and his demeanor and carries himself going forward. Is he president ial . I think he took a big step toward that last night. If the others want to engage in a brawl tomorrow, my advice to donald trump is fight back when necessary, defense yourself, but dont necessarily take the bait. Deny the others the ability to drag you in. All right. Herman, real quick because we have to go. Yeah. Well, i agreel with monica entirely. That is, if he keeps that same demeanor of last night in the press conference, he will rise above all the bickering thats going to take place as well as all the attacks that are definitely going to come against him tomorrow night. All right. Thank you all. Geraldo, you will be back on this. We need to have an argument. Thank you all. Next on this busy news night tonight on hannity we are going to send the message that the party of lincoln and reagan and the presidency of the United States will never be held by a con artist. So, is the gop establishment, are they sending marco rubio on a Suicide Mission that could ruin the florida senator and blow up the party .

For all the headlines, log on to foxnews. Com. And welcome back to hannity. Senator marco rubio is hammering gop frontrunner donald trump with vicious attacks on the campaign trail. Take a look. Hes not a tough guy. He told a protester i want to punch you in the face. He doesnt sweat the pores are clogged from the spray tan that he uses. Donald is not going to make America Great. Hell make america orange. Hes always calling me little marco. And ill admit hes taller to me. Hes like 62 and i dont understand why his hands are the size of someone 52. Have you seen them . Theyre like this. You know what they say about men with small hands. You cant trust them. We are going to send the message that the party of lincoln and reagan and the presidency of the United States will never be held by a con artist. So rubios attacks a Suicide Mission and could it ruin his career and destroy and hurt the Republican Party . Here to answer that question, author of the greatest comeback, patrick j. Buchanan. How are you . Fine, sean. So i watched marco in two interviews last night. For the record, ive always liked him. Very hard not to like marco rubio. I get the sense that he couldnt get out the word con artist, fraud, supporting the kkk, hiring Illegal Immigrants, Trump University over and over enough and probably a preview of tomorrows debate. Do you agree with me that probably this is that this is not marco we have known and, b, probably being influenced and hes the hired gun nowinsurgenc . I think hes made a calculations decision to be getting the applause of the media establishment, the establishment. Hes tearing down donald trump. The establishment wants him destroyed. Mar mar marco volunteered to be the instrument of destruction. He wont be the nominee. I dont think the trump people at the convention sum port marco after these type of attacks but theres no doubt about it. Its effective. It has marco tremendous amounts of attention. He never otherwise got. Let me just tell you about the strategy they had in virginia. They ran all these savage attack ads on trump again and again and again. Thats where i live. Marco is calling him a scam artist, a con artist. Marco closed the gap there. Thats the strategy between now and the ides of march. Okay. But if you look, pat, he got the votes in northern virginia, not an area where any republican will do well in a general election, same at minnesota. Minneapolis st. Paul, not republican friendly territory here. What is his goal here . To win or prevent trump or cruz from getting the delegates . This is not a youre right. This is not a general election strategy. Its not even a good nomination strategy but it is a good strategy if the objective of you and your supporters is to bring down trump no matter how you have to do it because we cant accept him and theres a lot in the media, a lot here in the establishment in washington, there are a lot of pokes in the party delighted to see donald trump taken down. You dont think theres back door and close door meetings and he is not getting support and being offered money to do all this . Maybe its my mind. I think this is orchestrated, well funded and well organized. Right. I think this helps marco in the short run. In the long run i agree with you. May terminate the political career. I dont understand if they manage to destroy donald trump, who do they thinks going to get the nomination . Marco rubio . Ted cruz. Likelihood is ted cruz and the establishment doesnt like him anymore than they hate them both and you, also, pat. They dont like me, either. Well theres 14 or 15 contests. 14 or 15 go to insurging candidates if you agree theyre insurgents. Lets look at the polls. Real clear politics average in florida, for example, trump 43. 8. Heres how bad its gotten. I want to be very clear. I like the old marco rubio. I didnt like the comprehensive immigration bill but i have always he was a Tea Party Guy in 2010. But when he runs an ad like this, invoking the kkk, when donald trump disavowed it again and again and again, this to me is this is now way beyond the pale of what i would expect in a primary let me roll tape. I asked donald trump three times if he would disavow the support of david duke. I have to look at the group. Trump refuses to denounce the kkk. Think about that. For president . Ronald reagan made us believe that it was morning in america again. Well, now the children of the reagan revolution are ready to assume the mantle of leadership. Thats a rubio superpac. Pat, your reaction to that. Because im stunned. Well, this is it is outrageous. Everybody knows that david duke has got nothing in common with donald trump and trump and the kkk is preposterous, outrageous. A reporter goes up, do you renounce the kkk . They put that in peoples minds. It is insidious and the idea that rubio and his superpac, i understand why theyre doing it. They want to destroy this guy. Sean, theyre going all out. Does it work . Do you think this works . And also whats coming in tomorrow nights debate. I think to a degree it is hurting i think it hurt trump. The attack ads in northern virginia. I dont know if the kkk was in there. These things are designed to hurt him. My guess would be you might see some kind of closing in florida. But again, you got to wait for april 15th. Or excuse me. March 15th. Ill tell you. Then at this point well see whether trump has a clear shot to the nomination and cant be stopped or short in terms of delegates. Win ohio and florida on the 15th . I dont think so. One of the two or loses them both, hes not done. Theres races between now and then. But i will say this. Look. The people and the republican establishment, the e nor mouse turnouts they should be ecstatic and happy. They pull this party together, sean. You can beat hillary. The turnouts of her and bernie are anemic despite for bernie. Isnt it amazing . This is winnable if the party gets together. But they hate the two top guys, two most popular people that are winning in this process. They hate them. Well, theyre going to have to get over that by after march 15th. Ill tell you. Are they will be responsible for blowing not only opportunity to win, this i think if you drive these trump people off from the party coming in theyre again. The party is gone and i dont know why it shouldnt it. Its been repudiated. Not coming back on trade or open borders or the rest of it. That is over. Bush republicanism is yesterday and the establishment has got to wake up to it otherwise it doesnt have a future at all. All right. Pat buchanan, the original insurgent, thank you for being with us. Thank you. Ill get along great with congress. Okay . Paul ryan, i dont know him well. Im get along well with im. If we dont, hell have to pay a big plan. Theyre working on la plan of donald trump. Did the Party Establishment underestimate the campaign . Also later tonight we know we have got work to do. But that work that work is not to make America Great again. America never stopped being great. So does hillary really fear donald trump . Ed henry with a full reaction ed henry with a full reaction and reaction of i am benedict arnold, the infamous traitor. And i know a thing or two about trading. So i trade with e trade, where true traders trade on a trademarked trade platform that has all the. Get off the computer traitor i wont. cannon sound im going to get along great with congress. Okay . Paul ryan, i dont know him well but im sure ill get along great with him, and if i dont, hell have to pay a big price. 0ing . That was republican frontrunner donald trump talking about speaker ryan last night. So is it time for the gop establishment to accept that trump will be the nominee . Here with reaction, conservative columnist a. J. Delgado and former White House Press secretary Ari Fleischer is with us. A. J. , you were right about trumps rise way before people and we were discussing this on twitter and deadon accurate. When marco rubio, who i know you used the like and i have always likes him, invoking the kkk in spite of many disavows, disavow, disavow, to me its a bridge too far. To me, in my mind conjures up a conspiracy to go scorched earth and destroy the party because theyre not winning. Absolutely. And i think the establishment has a choice to make. They could either go with rub yess disgusting tactics lately or they can realize that trump will be the nominee so they could either get on board or they can choose to reveal themselves to be puppets of the donor class, people who are not with the American People and standing against immigration, the trump is with us. Its a case of, you know, to borrow my fellow guests former bosss tomorrow, you are with us, with trump and standing against illegal immigration and standing against the donor class or youre with us the likes of marco rubio. Somebody who said in 2010 that he would never support amnesty and then exactly the moment he was elected into the senate did just that. Theres something mentally or morally wrong supporting this type of candidate. Looking at 14 out of 15 contests won by insurgents, Donald Trumps success in the race, what i think the establishment is not getting is that they created donald trump and ted cruzs popularity by not using the power of the purse to repeal and replace obamacare, by making a promise in 2014 that they would defund obamas executive amnesty. You know, look at the polls, exit polls last night. 60 of republicans in most states feel betrayed by their party and now the establishment is turning around and scorched earth not winning . Well, i do think the establishment helped create the rise of donald trump with the frustration a lot
