It is all over. Donald trump has won the title of king of the frivolous lawsuit. Mr. Trump is apparently very unhappy with a Television Ad were running. Be im very prochoice. If you want to file a lawsuit challenging this ad claiming it is deformation, file the lawsuit. I dont know that were doing to have a lawsuit, but we want to keep somebody honest. Because his position is anyone who points to his record is somehow lying. Cruz does lie. Ive never seen anything quite like it. Ted has proven that hes willing to do or say anything to get elected. If we elect marco rubio every day will be a great day in america. Jeb is a sad case. Its sad. There you go again. Its all decided. We dont have to go vote i guess. Its finished. I should stop campaigning. I hit jeb because hes easy to hit. Im not going to try to get in the mind of donald trump. This guy Lindsey Graham is one of the dumbest guy ive ever seen. We would get slaughtered if donald trump is our nominee and we would deserve it. The republican president ial campaign has a new frontrunner for most ridiculous lawyer in the world, jeffry l. Goldman actually wrote a letter to the cruz for President Campaign that begins with i am counsel to donald trump. The Cruz Campaign provided us with a copy of that letter and in it Donald Trumps lawyer complains about an attack ad and says the Cruz Campaign does not stop running that ad, quote, we will seek immediate legal action to prevent the continued broadcast of the attack ad and hold you jointly liable to the fullest extent of the law for any damages resulting there from and well look forward to doing it. Im sure by now like me youre all looking forward to seeing the attack ad that Donald Trumps lawyer says is the very definition of liable. Life, marriage, religious liberty, the second amendment, were just one Supreme Court justice away from losing them all. Would President Trump ban partial birth abortion . Im very prochoice. But you would not ban it . No, i am i am prochoice in every respect. We cannot trust donald trump with these serious decisions. Donald trumps lawyer must have over slept that day when they talked about liable law in law school. Ted cruz urged donald trump to file a deformation suit against him. If donald trump files the lawsuit that he threatens in this letter, that lawsuit will be frivolous and it will result in both donald trump and any lawyer that signs his name to the pleadings being sapgsed in court. Ted cruz is like so totally right about that and i dont think ive ever said that sentence before, but this time this time ted cruz is right. Ted cruz will keep running the ad and i will try to run the ad as much as i possibly can on this program and jeffry lrchl. Goldman will not dare to file a lawsuit against ted cruz or me because they definitely would be sanctioned. They definitely would be fined for filing the most frivolous lawsuit that donald trump has ever forced one of his lawyers to threaten in writing thereby making the trump lawyer the laughing stock of america. Tonight donald trump sounded as if he now realizes that ted cruz is a smarter lawyer than the guy donald trump is paying to write his phoney letters. I dont know that were going to street a lawsuit, but we want to keep somebody honest. When he makes statements like about im prolife and he said hes not, he cant say that. The worst news of the day for the Trump Campaign came in the latest poll of Republican Voters that shows donald trump in a tie within the margin of error with ted cruz who is at the top of that poll at 28 , donald trump at 26 nationally. Marco rubio 17 , john kasich 11 , jeb bush down at the bottom with 4 . Joining us now alex and joe joining us tonight from South Carolina. Alex, i dont know who your lawyer is i have a team of lawyers. I can tell you who it shouldnt be. That guy. That guy. Its just what was interesting in that interview as you point out is that donald trump seems to be walking away from the prospect and its maybe because hes realized that the longer donald trump talks about this ted cruz ad the more people go and google the ted cruz ad and look at the footage of donald trump speaking out a prochoice position on reproductive rights. I get to play it. When its necessarily that relevant you can keep playing it because its part of the part of trump is to keep launching these kind of sal vows thinking he has immunity. Maybe this is one where he doesnt. Here is the part where im cheering for trump to file the lawsuit because ted cruz said today what he would do if trump does actually file a lawsuit and we want this to happen, lets run this what ted cruz said he would do. One of the things i look forward to most of all is deposing donald trump. For that particular endeavor, i may well not use outside counsel, i may take the deposition myself. And i will say this, whether in a deposition or a court of law getting donald trump under oath under penalty of perjury answering these questions, ill point out it didnt work out very well for bill clinton. Joe, that deposition would be videotaped and im sure the Cruz Campaign would find a way to leak it in our direction or anyones direction. Were never going to see that because trump is going to back out of this, but how crazy is this playing in South Carolina that the republican frontrunner in that state threatening a lawsuit about a tv ad that everybody in South Carolina has seen, how are they reacting to this . Its kind of brilliant in its own way because were talking about this Utter Nonsense that is never going to happen and were not talked about the fact that the guy donald trump simply doesnt know anything about public policy. He is he has a terrible temperament to be a president. On issue after issue after issue he proved that he didnt know anything. Early today i saw him at another forum upstate and he was asked how he would strengthen the military, specifically . How specifically will you strengthen the military . Its going to be stronger than anything and he gets away with that crap. Tonight he shows he didnt know the difference between medicaid and medicare. Tonight he showed that he didnt know that the east asia trade deal doesnt include china, but it includes the other countries in the region that we want to strengthen against china. On issue after issue after issue the guy doesnt know anything and were letting him get away with it. That is a great point that trump talking about a lawsuit is better for trump than trying to actually talk about public policy, which ive said before hes an utter ignorant. Trump is playing to his base and his base is incredibly resilient. It doesnt matter to them and he knows that and his success in the media his success is predicated for their desire for him and as long as they desire him he continues to be a figure in the media and a major player on the national stage. It doesnt matter if the media tries to fact check him. None of it matters to the people who support him. I want to show an example of what you were talking about. This is donald trump saying absolutely nothing about health care in america, although he does string a few sentences together in this area. Lets listen to it. We cant let people die in the streets. We have to work out a deal with the hospital or somebody in that community where if somebody is sick and really sick and they dont have housing and they dont have we cant let them die. So all americans will get health care of some sort. We have to take care of them. Were going to take care of them. Its idiotsy. We have a program to take care of those people, medicaid. In the sentence before the one we saw he talked about medicare handling it. Medicare is health care for the elderly. Medicaid is health care for the indigent, obamacare is health care for the working poor. He has absolutely no idea that those three things are true and part of a significant part of American Public policy. If you look at the transcript of that interview, it is literally a string of extreme super lives. When he is pressed on any specific policy its its going to be the best because the other thing is the worst and thats enough to continue his role in this race. Joe, whats your assessment having watched more campaigns than any of us about how the media is doing in its job of handling the problem of dealing with donald trump . I think its a real embarrassme embarrassment. Its probably the most embarrassing coverage of a candidate that ive seen in my 11 got help me president ial campaigns. First of all, were watching him like crazy because he boosts ratings, second of all were not doing our job when he says Something Like people who are dying in the streets, nobody says to him, but wait a second, isnt there medicaid to take care of that . It really is malfeasance of the worst sort and i think in some cases it is its for most wrong reasons for ratings. I agree with joe that there should be a lot more push back and details asked for. If for example someone asked donald trump a follow up question that mattered im not sure it would make any difference to donald trump or the people that support him if he was wrong on that issue. We may never find out because that the phenomenon doesnt happen, he goes into a string of words that overwhelms the interviewers and they cant figure it out. You know what id like to see, id like to see people journalists ask him a question about something he actually knows about, which is reality tv. Mr. Trump, how do you think kim is handling her campaign her image these days and just to see whether hed actually answer it because or whether hed say thats not a question for a president. I think hed answer it. All right. Going to take a quick break here. Coming up a new National PollShows Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders in a tie nationally and a poll of what the voters want the senate to do about president obamas next nomination to the Supreme Court.

We say that every day is a great day in South Carolina. Ladies and gentlemen, if we eelect marco rubio every day will be a great day in america. Help me welcome the president of the United States, lets go to the polls on saturday and move that down the way. Marco rubio thats nikki haley giving the prized endorsement saying if we elect marco rubio, quote, every day will be a great day in america. Alex wagoner its a good thing she didnt oversell this rubio era where every day will be a great day. And recess will be an hour longer. President obama had a good point in his press conference which is that weve been paying so much attention to trump that we havent focus in had on the rest of the field. I think nikki haley is sort of belies that transformation too because she appears to be a moderate southern republican governor who is all about the establishment, but if you unpacked marco rubios comments and the positions hes staked out since this race began, hes very far away from nikki haley and what she represents. Will her endorsement matter . It may matter a little bit. A couple of points here in South Carolina, but i couldnt help thinking what a great ticket that would be a rubio, haley ticket especially because she is known now in minority communities across the country as the person who insisted on pulling down the confederate flag. Lets look at how donald trump is benefitting by having a big field, what happens to him if it goes down to a one on one fight for the nomination. Lets look at this poll. When is late in the latest poll nationally ted cruz versus donald trump ted cruz destroys him, 5640. Just wipes him out. If you put marco rubio one on one against donald trump, he wipes him out, 57 for marco rubio, 41 for donald trump. If you put jeb bush against donald trump, donald trump at the moment anyway comes out ahead of jeb bush, 5443. If you put donald trump with john kasich, he comes out ahead in this poll, 5244, but alex it shows you whats happening. This is the product of a field. Kasich is basically sort of seen as dead man walking. If he be can do that well, it might my sense is that the republican establishment, if they have power still within the part party, should train its sights to the establishment candidates and say we have to consolidate. We are at the crisis point. Kasich, you got to bow out. Cruz, marco, its two men enter one man leaves. Joe, could that happen . Well, the person im looking at right now is jeb bush. I mean that is the most interesting evolving story in South Carolina this week because ever since his brother came to town hes been looking kind of hang dog and saying things like maybe i should stop campaigning. He it really looks like he knows that the writing is on the wall. I think the kasich probably wants to stick around to play in michigan on the 8th and that will be his last stand on the 8th of march, but, boy, jeb bush came into this thing as the flatout favorite to win this nomination and i think the thing thats killing him that i hear from people is hes just one bush too many. And alex, the irony might be if the National Poll holds up and donald trump has hit something of a collapse in his numbers, it may be because of what he said in that debate, the post debate poll and it has donald trump talking about how george w. Bush lied us into war, that whole line of argument, it may be that the trump attack against bush ended up undoing trump. Maybe. I mean, i will say im shocked that it is donald trump that has brought the conversation to the Republican Party about the legacy of george w. Bush. I mean i do think that trump understands this in a way that everyone else doesnt and understands their frustration and their sense of if you tilt in terms of our engagement in the middle east and hes tapping into that. Whether the assertion that bush lied and people died, which has hurt on the far ends of the instruct rum, whether that proves a bridge too far remains to be seen, but there is a vein of frustration and failure that trump is tapping into that is still powerful in certain sectors of the republican base. Lets listen to what donald trump said about nikki haley tonight. You know, nikki haley gave a speech a couple of weeks ago and she said that we, we, yeah, its not good first of all, shes very weak on illegal immigration. Shes very weak on illegal immigration. You cant have that. Joe, nikki haleys approval number is Something Like 68 , but in a trump crowd she gets boos. I thought it was 80 . It could be. Shes really, really popular here. The thing about trump is this, its one of the most telling moments tonight was when she started listing a list of characteristics that a certain person had and it was clear to me and anybody who had a modest political i. Q. That she was describing Bernie Sanders and she then asked him who is this candidate that im describing and he said it sounds like donald trump. He didnt get it. I mean, this is a guy who does not exist outside of his own brain. And if nikki haley endorses another candidate, even though she has 80 approval, hes going go after her because that is the only thing he knows. Thank you both for joining me tonight.
