Good morning. Hillary clinton is focused on fund raising in the los angeles area. Hoping her donors and supporters are reenergized after her win in nevada. The question, c she maintain her momentum.

Sunday nigig, both campaigns took aim at the republican frontrunner. We dont need to make America Great again. It never stopped being great. But we do need to make america whole again. You want a candidate who is going to defeaeadonald trump. Youre looking at that candidate. This morning, the Clinton Campaign is disputing that sanders won the latino vote, as polls suggest. Arguing that clinton trounced sanders in areas that are latino. The Sanders Campaign is calling it spin. This underscores the importance of the latino vote, as super tuesday approaches and as this race heats up. Willie and savannah . Kristen welker looking at the democratic side. Lets get analysis. Nicolle wallace served as an adviser to the mccainpalin campaign, and Mark Halperin is politics. Good morning. Nicolle, the question, is donald trump unstoppable . He seems to have the momentum and has two big wins under his belt. Flip it the other way around. Can ted cruz or marco rubio win . I think its a harder question to answer. It would be defying decades of political history to seize the nomination in marco rubios case, after coming in third, fifth and second, and ted cruzs case, he hasnt won since iowa. In my view, it is increasingly unlikely. Mark, the argument from a lot of republicans is, if you get donald trump in a one on one fight, its the way to beat him. I guess the question for me is, which of the candidates, whether marco rubio, ted cruz or john kasich, gives up the fight at this point, given how well place slot . None of them give it up. All of them think that somehow, trump can be eventually stopped when its one on one. Youve got the contest here tomorrow, and then super tuesday a week from tomorrow. I think its increasingly as nicolle said increasingly hard to come up with a scenario where any of the three can stop him, unless they get one on one. Some republicans are talking about unorthodox supporters. Maybe try to simply stop trump from getting a majority of the delegates. All three scenarios are, at this point, not just unlikely, but may be improbable, unless something changes. We need to caveat it. Maybe trump will falter or something strange will happen. If you look at political history, trump is in a commanding position. Mark, does the calendar favor him, the states coming up next and the fact they turn to winner could hurt trump. Say in ohio or florida, home state politician could win a winner take all state and get momentum. Trump, both demographically and geographically, doesnt have weaknesses. A guy that can win New Hampshire decisively and South Carolina decisively tells you a lot of what you need to know. Hell probably win here tomorrow. A northeastern, southern and western powerhouse. Its up to the other candidates to decide, do they all stay in, and how do they explain how they eventually stop him . The voters need to decide this. Right now, again, on the current trajectory, trump is strong. Lets hop over to the democratic side. The Clinton Campaign said they were relieved they won nevada. A lot of people were looking at how it was going to spin and the story changed because of the result. She did well with africanamerican voters. Thatll be important in South Carolina this saturday. Whats the path forward for sanders . I think she made it difficult Bernie Sanders overtakes her. Shes become almost trumplike on the democratic side. Ththdemocratic process makes it harder for an upstart candidate like Bernie Sanders. This was a decisive victory for her. She goes to states with much more favorable terrain for her and her message. Saturday ends up being quite important in this race. Good to have you both. Thank yoso much. Thanks, guys. Also this morning, disturbing new inforortion ememging about the uber driver suspected of killing six people during a weekend shooting rampage in kalamazoo, michigan. Blake mccoy has more on the investigation. Good morning. Good morning from kalamazoo. This is where that driver is expected to be charged later today in the deaths of two people and the injury of two others in the shooting spree. Instigators say they have a gun. They have surveillance video. They are sure he did it. They still dont know why. Reporter thihiis the man police say went on a rampage in 45yearold jason dalton. A husband and father of two, allegedly shooting his victims at random. They werent targeted for any reason other than they were there to be a target. Reporter dalton is an uber driver, and police are looking into reports he picked up and hours between the first shooting and when he was caught. One of the passengers spoke with nbc news by telephone. I kind of jokingly said to the driver, youre not the shooter, are you . He shook his head or said no. Got up into the room and they saw the news. I said, thats the car that we were in. Reporter uber says theyre horrified and heartbroken. They did a background check and Police Confirm dalton did not have a political record. Eight people were shot in three separate shootings. The locations, apartment complex, a car dealership and the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel restaurant. They had car pooled to save money and were swapping cars when the shots rang out. Also dead, a father and teenage son who were shopping for a new car. You see the stuff on the news all the time. You dont think about it because it doesnt affect you.

Two survivors are in the hospital. A mother of three shot multiple times is in serious condition. And a 14yearold girl who was pronounced dead for more than an hour yesterday, doctors were preparing her body for Organ Donation when remarkably she was able to squeeze her mothers hand. Doctors realized she was still alive and rushed her into surgery. Just awful, awfulultory. You never wrap your head around why that could happen. Blake, thank you. Personally weighing in on his agencys fight with apple over unlocking a phone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters. Pete williams has more on this. Good morning. Good morning, savannah. The fbi director james comey says the investigation of what happened in San Bernardino cannot be complete or thorough without getting a look at the phone. In theheost overnight on a national s surity blog, he says,s, we cant look the survivors in the eye or ourselves in the mirror if we dont follow this lead. The lead is a phone that was owned by syed farooks employer, and that he used, which the fbi found in his mothers car. Agents need apples help to unlock it. Apple is resisting, saying the company, if it does what the fbi wants, it would have to o eate software. If that software gets in the wrong hands, it could jeopardize the security of any iphone in the world. Comey writes on his blog, we loose on the land. The fbi says there may not be anything of value on that phone, since farook destroyed other phones but not that one, and it was owned by the county. Tim cook, apple ceo, said this case is about much more than a single phone or a single investigation. He says whats at stake is the Data Security of hundreds of millions of lawabiding people, and sets a precedent that threatens everyones civil liberties. Stakes high on all sides. Pete, thank you. A powerful cyclone tore through fiji. Death toll now at 17. Authorities are getting a scale of the disaster and to deploy aid to the islands. 6,000 residents were staying in emergency shelters after their homes were destroyed or swamped.

E bus pulled over ououide of chicago on sunday afternoon after peiple on board heard a big pop. The driver got all the passengers off the bus. Moments later, the entire bus erupted with flames and thick, black smoke. Nobody was injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Now to the incredible finish at the daytona 500. Take a look. Here they come to the line. This is the finish to the daytona 500. Bouncing off each other. Unbelievable i think it was hamlin. After 500 miles, it came down to that. Wow. They had to review a photo finish, determining that danny hamlin edged out martin truex jr. By 0. 01. Its the closest finish of that in second grade, hamlin wrote a letter to himself, wishing for his daytona 500 victory. Im sure he described it just like that. Let it be a photo finish, extra exciting. Al, how is it going . Like lightning mcqueen. Yeah. We have rain in the southeast but watching another storm out of texas and on into the southeast.
