Donald trump. He joins us by phone and, mr. Trump, it looks like youre poised for some big wins here on super tuesday. But that cnn interview continuing to make waves. Youve seen that tweet from mitt romney. He called your response disqualifying and disgusting and says your coddling of repugnant bigotry is not in the character of america. Your response. First of all, mitt romney is a failed candidate, should have won the race and he failed miserably. He was a terrible candidate for the republicans. Secondly, david duke was disavowed. I disavowed him on friday. I disavowed right after that because i thought if there was any question and you take a look at twitter, almost immediately after on twitter and facebook, they were disavowed again. I disavowed him every time i speak to somebody virtually and they just keep it going. Said, oh, we never looked at your twitter account. We never looked at facebook. I said take a look at facebook. It was totally disavowed. Are you prepared right now to make a clear and unequivocal statement renounce ing the support of all white supremacists. I of course, i am. Theres nobody thats done so much for equality as i can. In palm beach florida, i built a club, totally open to everybody that frankly set a new standard in clubs and a new standard in palm beach and ive gotten great credit for it. That is totally open to everybody. So, of course, i am. How worried are you may split the party as youre doing better and better in the primaries, more republican voices say they wont support you and nevertrump right now prominent republicans like j. C. Watts, mel martinez, the senator ben sass. Are you worried you may make it harder to defeat the democrats in november. Ive had tremendous calls from tremendous establishment people and nonestablishment people and the party is going to get bigger. If you look at any one of the primaries that i won, whether you go to New Hampshire or South Carolina or nevada, you take a look. Look at how many people have come out. Were just absolutely the numbers that double and triple in some cases what they had four years ago, were getting democrats coming in. Were getting independents coming in. Were getting a lot of people coming in and i will tell you as you know, i know the democrats very well also. They are very worried about it. We have tremendous numbers of people coming in and the Republican Party is growing larger and if it didnt it has no chance. Itll be like mitt romney four years ago, it has no chance of winning. Were getting people into the party that never had before. Let me interrupt you. That brandnew cnn poll Shows Hillary clinton defeating you relatively handily by eight points but losing to marco rubio and ted cruz. Well, theyre not going to get the nomination. I havent even focused on Hillary Clinton yet and i can Hillary Clinton doesnt want to run against is me and i have that on good knowledge. We have not focused i had one little skirmish with hillary three weeks ago and you saw what happened with that. I will defeat hillary and were going to take a lot of democrats and a lot of independents away and were going to possibly win places like michigan, new york, states that are not even in consideration and by the way, these arent things that have been taken advantage of in the poll. I will beat Hillary Clinton much more easily than anybody else. The New York Times had a look inside the democrats playbook this morning. It says the plan theyre going to run against you has three major fronts. Portray you as a heartless businessman, broadcast the degrading comments you made against women and highlight your brash and explosive temper. How will you respond. The way we have to respond. Look, well make America Great again. Our country has gotten soft and weak. Were being taken advantage of by everybody, george, if you look at china, if you look at you look at virtually any country we do business with, we lose. Weve become weve become a debtor nation. We owe 19 trillion. We are going to make America Great again. Thats what my whole campaign is. Well make great deals and strengthen the military and take care of our vets. Well do it right, george. Mr. Trump, thanks for joining us this morning. Thank you very much. And, george, as you know super tuesday just as critical for the democratic race. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders battling for crucial votes across the country. Clinton looking for a sweep down south. Abcs cecilia vega is in arlington, virginia, with the latest. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter hey, robin. Good morning to you. Just me and a few friends hanging out this morning, right . [ cheers and applause ] at a diner here some of these people have voted. Most promised me theyre heading to the polls right after this. A pretty mixed group and this is the most important day of this primary so far. This morning, Hillary Clinton hopeful a southern rout lees to it is great being here with all of you. Reporter clinton swinging through this swing state feeling confident. Secretary clinton, your super tuesday prediction . Just happy to be in virginia. Every single vote. Reporter in the final hours before voting begins shes next. Been great. [ cheers and applause ] what we need to do together is make america whole again. Reporter her husband piling on too. So they say all we need to do is build a lot of walls. She said, no, we dont. What we need to do is tear down barriers and build ladders of opportunity that everybody can climb. Reporter sanders hoping a northern push is his path to victory. Your state led the american revolution. And from massachusetts to maine, the political [ cheers and applause ] reporter taking on not just hillary but his rival across the aisle. Bing, bing, bing. Reporter who he hopes to survive long enough to face come november. We will defeat donald trump because we know that love trump s s. Reporter Bernie Sanders raised serious cash, more than 42 million in february alone for perspective that was more than Hillary Clinton raised in the entire month of january, more than marco rubio has raised robin. A couple of Bernie Sanders with me. We have some out in times square, as well. After all the ad, all the rallies, still a lot of un undecided voters out there, right, cecilia . Reporter there are, about 30 nationally and a number of people here in this diner with me are undecided including this entire table right here. This is steve davis. You were telling me youre split who are they . Hillary clinton and john kasich. Reporter two different parties. That shows you what were looking at today. This is interesting. We asked this question in the last few weeks and every time we ask an undecided voter those are the two names that come up like that. Its interesting. All right, cecilia, thank you very much. George. Im here with our Political Team, matthew dowd, Donna Brazile and jon karl. A lot to talk about. Youll here tonight as well. You heard donald trump confident about the nomination and said ted cruz and marco rubio not going to get it and their back is up against the wall. No question. The danger for them super tuesday becomes trump tuesday. If he sweeps tonight, he goes from becoming the likely or the frontrunner to becoming the likely republican nominee. What cruz and rubio have to do is find somewhere to beat him tonight and in the states he wins, hes going to win most of them they have to keep it close enough to keep getting delegates. And, of course, ted cruz still ahead in texas. See how that plays out. Matt dowd, you saw mr. Trump dismiss the idea of dividing the Republican Party but the voices getting louder and louder. Some for him but many against him as well. A huge argument going on within the establishment should they endorse or coalesce but the real division between the leaders of the party and voters of the party. The voters are going one direction and the leaders want to go another. Another thing thats interesting about tonight Bernie Sanders will win more states than marco rubio, ted cruz and john kasich combined tonight. A threat of a third party, a conservative party, a break from the Republican Party real. I think its real. For the last month or a month and a half ago i said plan a is not working. After tonight its certainly not working so have to go to plan b and only thing plan b is conservative or Republican Party that runs not as the current gop. Meanwhile, donna, democrats are throwing up their battle plans as well, the New York Times article laying out the case against donald trump. The first time democrats seem to be taking it seriously. How worried are they . Look, democrats are worried about enthusiasm. They are worried about making their voters. There is no question that we have to focus on the fall election but right now today is a big day for Hillary Clinton. She has to banken 0 the fact that a quarter of the delegates will be people of color. Beyond that, can she break into bernies stronghold in the northeast, massachusetts, thats the key today for her. Okay, Donna Brazile, jon karl, matthew dowd, well see you tonight. Abc news will be out in force all throughout the super tuesday. Ill be here with our whole Political Team usa for a prime time special at 10 00 eastern and world news tonight and gma tomorrow morning. You. New trouble for the anthem of the seas cruise ship. A powerful storm is cutting its trip short as passengers on board blattle a norovirus outbreak. Abcs gio benitez is here with the latest. Reporter just weeks ago the ship was tossed around like a toy in the water. The cruise line now hoping to prevent a repeat. This morning, the anthem of the seas is rushing back home facing yet another problem, less in hurricaneforce winds, Royal Caribbeans oneyearold cruise ship cutting its trip from the Eastern Caribbean two days short and heading back to new jersey, the company says hoping to beat a severe storm friday. The company also revealing the crew is battling the norovirus. Ten guests per day reporting symptoms. You actually had to walk by the medical facility to get off the boat and the medical facility was jam packed standing room only literally just full of people. And thats when we kind of went, whoa, this is not good. Reporter the company tweeting monday the norovirus cases didnt affect the decision to return. Three people that im traveling with have shown some symptoms, so its definitely going around. Reporter just three weeks ago the same ship was hit with massive 30foot waves and 120mileperhour winds. 4500 passengers on board during the weather crisis. And in this latest case Royal Caribbean says the norovirus is affecting a small percentage of that is not why its ending the cruise early but no doubt passengers are still worried. No doubt about that. Thank you. Now amy joining us with other top stories and a legal victory for apple. Thats right. A federal judge in new york ruled the fbi cannot force apple to unlock an iphone at the center of a drug case. The judge saying it would betray our constitutional heritage. But the ruling has no affect on apples battle over the San Bernardino shooters iphone. Government officials are warning Utility Companies that the nations power grid could be vulnerable to a sophisticated cyberattack like the one that caused a recent blackout in ukraine. U. S. Investigators have now confirmed hackers compromised the system six months about of that outage. The malware was so destructive proikss are still not back to normal. An ohio teenager is due in court today facing attempted murder charges. Investigators say the 14yearold opened fire in the cafeteria at Madison High School hitting two students, police and some dramatic video of a tornado hitting this Hardware Store in louisiana last week. A fedex driver tried to take shelter inside. The door was locked so she hid behind a soda machine. It fell over. Look at that. My goodness, when the tornado destroyed the entire store, incredibly she was not injured. She walked away without a scratch. And finally, an explanation for your constant craving for junk food. Youre not getting enough sleep. Scientific evidence now shows there is a link between lack of sleep and the munchies. Its because of a chemical in your brain which builds up when you dont get enough rest. That chemical makes your body crave rewards. For most of us thats fatty or salty foods. By the way, it is the same chemical that makes marijuana smokers get the munchies. Thats a nice little twist. For your tuesday. Munchies. You had us at munchies. Yesterday morning. Over to rob right now. The Severe Weather today could affect the voting. Thats true, pass the bacon but because of the lack of sleep. Look at this. Just southwest of Oklahoma City.
