Then he saw Donald Trumps poll numbers and said, you know what, im good up here. Welcome to cbs this morning. Gayle king is off. Welcome. The final Republican Debate before super tuesday was more like a heavyweight fight with marco rubio as the hardhitting underdog. Your ties and the clothes you wear are made in mexico and china. You wouldnt know anything about it. I dont know anything about bankrupting four what is your plan . What is your plan on health care . Yeah, yeah, yeah. 38 years ago. He lied 38 years ago. All right. I guess theres a statute of limitation on lies. One verbal attack after another. We will ask senator rubio about the debate in a moment. But first Major Garrett is at the university of houston, the site of the debate. Reporter what do you get when you combine political desperation with piles of unused Opposition Research . A shouting match that at times bordered on bedlam. Donald trump was pulmommelled as never before. Youre a lot of fun up here tonight, i have to tell you. Donald, relax. Im relaxed. Youre not my boss. Youre a basket case. Go ahead. Dont get nervous. Rubio unloaded long dormant personal attacks on donald trump. Heres a guy that inherited 200 million. No, no, no. Reporter rubio tried to undercut Donald Trumps campaign on immigration. And cruz questioned his ability or inability to defeat Hillary Clinton. Were talking about the polls. Im beating him awfully badly in the polls. But youre not beating hillary. If i cant beat her, youre really going to get killed. Reporter on foreign policy, trump said the art of the deal might work in the middle east. The palestinians are not a reality deal, donald. A deal is a team. Let me tell you. Reporter the most heated and trumps vague plans to replace obamacare. We have to get rid of the lines around the states. Now hes repeating himself. No, no, no. I watched him repeat himself five times four weeks ago. It was a melt down. I watched it. Trump faltered at times but also found his footing and landed haymakers. I know youre embarrassed but keep fighting. Swing for the fences. In the aftermath of the shout fest, trump emerged emboldened. Is there anything about your experience tonight that tells you it would be worth your time to brush up more on the substance of entitlements, healthcare . No. I think i did great on every subject tonight. Reporter one question left unanswered, why hasnt trump released his personal tax returns. For delaying their release. But the man who first raised this issue, mitt romney said thats no excuse. Marco rubio is with us now from houston. Senator, good morning. Good morning. Did someone hit the panic button last night . I dont know what youre talking about. I can tell you that a con artist is about to take over the Republican Party and the conservative movement and we have to put a stop to it. Look at the report you guys just did. Donald trump had no answers on the issue of healthcare. If you listen to that report that led into this, the media is pumping him up as some sort of unstoppable force. He has a record of sticking it to working people for 35 years. If any other candidate in this race had his record, there would be nonstop reporting on it. Were going to put a stop to it now. There is no way we are going to the conservative movement and donald trump is a con artist. What do you think a trump government would look like . It could be chaos. No one knows, but it would look like the positions hes held for all these years on many of these issues. He is wholly unprepared to be president of the united states. He refused to answer questions on public policy. He has no plan for health care for example. They asked him about the debt, he claimed he was going to cut the debt by cutting fraud and abuse. I tried to get the moderators to ask him about it. This is the most important government job on the planet and were about to turn over the conservative movement to a person who has no ideas on any substantive issues. He spent a career sticking it to working people. We want to ask you specifically about a meeting morning that your Campaign Manager met with top donors behind closed doors and the possibility of a contested convention to get the nomination was discussed. Is that something youre thinking about . No. But the truth is that it is possible that no one gains the 1,236 delegates necessary to win. No one may have that number of delegates. And that would trigger a convention in which after the first round delegates are free to vote for whomever they want. Youve said a number of times con artists. But you have been on the stage with him throughout this campaign season. You were very different last night. You were much more combative than i have ever seen you. Race. Number two, i acknowledge were an underdog. Do you acknowledge that you have failed to do this so far . Not to get into a fight with other republicans. But i would much more prefer not to turn over the party to a con artist like donald trump. Im asking everyone watching tonight if youre a republican and you dont want your party taken over by a con artist like donald trump, unite with us and join us. Two days ago you said we will win florida. Theres a new poll out that shows thats not the case. Donald trump is still ahead by double digits. It appears that donald trump is rolling toward the nomination. Yeah. Well, if you want to base that on one poll, its fine. We have our own polls. We will win florida. I know our state very well. It is not going to vote for someone like donald trump. I will acknowledge that there are some people watching this broadcast that are intrigued by him. They think hes a straight talker and he fights for the little guy. Years sticking it to the little guy or longer. Every time one of his businesses failed, you know who didnt get paid . The little guy who was working for him. Thank you for this morning. Thank you. Joining us now John Dickerson in washington. Help us understand whats going on in the Republican Party. Are they in a moment of panic because it looks like trump is marching right to the nomination . Sure. Last night was the best venue for somebody like marco rubio to actually take him on. Youre not going to win a twitter war with donald trump. The debate sevenvenue is one in which rubio could have shown by a Trump Presidency could be dangerous. When you get into a shouting match with donald trump, youre playing on Donald Trumps turf. So the talking points you heard are ones he didnt deliver last night. He got into that shouting match with him. Well have to see if that does anything for voters. John, do that math for us. As we look towards tuesday night, how close is trump to capturing this nomination . What will we see on tuesday night . Theres the delegate question and theres the momentum question. On tuesday night there are 11 states. Texas is a big one. Donald trump if he wins all the rest of the states, even if the other contestants get some delegates coming out of that, the question is what will the conversation be afterwards . If donald trump wins a whole bunch of states, then while the others may be amassing delegates, it will continue this kind of snowballing of the trump victories. The question then becomes, will people join behind his campaign . Theres some sign thats thank you so much. On sunday john will talk with senator ted cruz on face the nation.
