Major garrett is outside the fox theater in detroit where he covered last nights debate. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. The atmosphere was tense and the confrontation was battle lines have never been more sharply drawn. Donald trump and his populace movement and a gop establishment personified by mitt romney. Stakes high and nomination and future of the Republican Party and from the beginning the fight was on. He referred to my hands of basketball. Something else must be small. I guarantee you, there is no problem. I guarantee you. Reporter the 11th Republican Debate started with a lewd new low that foreshadowed the brawl to come. This little guy has lied so much about my record. Here we go here we go so much. Its a minor civil case. Donald, learn not to interrupt. Its not complicated. Count to ten, donald, count to ten.

Dont worry about it, little marco gentlemen gentlemen reporter a defensive trump dismissed lawsuits alleged he had conned students to attend his now Defunct Trump University easement he conned those people like he conned these people in his university.

If tonight you tell new york city to release the audio they will do it and we can see what your true views are on immigration. Trump refused. I may have discussed Something Like that with the New York Times but i would never release offtherecord conversations. Reporter the context, trump argued, was his willingness to achieve compromise. But ive never seen a successful person who wasnt flexible. Reporter cruz and rubio conservative rhetoric wont match his president ial reality. Donald, please, i know its hard not to interrupt, but try. Not what you said. Breathe. Lyin ted. When they are done with the yoga, can i talk . I hope we dont see yoga on this stage. He is very flexible so you never know. Even after that comaust exhausting and noisy jousting, they all said they would support the nominee even if that is donald trump.

He better im sure reporter ed he agreed with what romney did . Oh, he did . Well, that is not nice and he has to be very careful. Reporter why . I will hell find out. But romney is a failed candidate. He made a fool out of himself. He should have beaten barack obama and he feels badly about it. The fact is mitt romney choked as bad as ive ever seen anybody choke other than marco rubio when he was grilled by chris christie, he choked. But i will tell you, mitt romney should have been president. He disappeared. He choked. Something went wrong with him and i wasnt happy about it and neither are a lot of other people. Reporter does a conversation about Trump University help you or hurt you . Well, its a small deal and they try and make this such a big deal. They dont talk about the buildings ive built overthe world. Reporter they are trying to make it appear something representative of your larger image. My larger image is buildings all over the world. We are working on hundreds of deals and doing tremendous work all over the world. Big deals, much bigger than that. Reporter when youre talking about Trump University, youre not talking about other things . I agree. They will take one deal or two deals and out of hundreds and hundreds of deals that you do and they will try to make you look bad. Trump university, ill end up winning that in court. As sure as youre standing there, ill win that in court. I could settle but im not a settler. John dickerson is in washington, moderator of face the nation. You have the unleashing of all of these attacks against donald trump. Will it, in fact, have a dent in his popularity or simply embolden his supporters deepen their own commitment . Its possible that it does both. Its possible its both a turnout mechanism for all of those people who think or so disappointed with the establishment and it now looks like the establishment is trying to steal their candidate away from them. But it also might focus the mind of some republicans who have been kind of wondering or tuning mitt romney tried to set the stakes for Republican Voters. John, what about the attacks on Trump University . He called it a minor civil case but there are 5,000 workers suing him and it was not just a main topic in the debate last night and main part of rubios attacks but now the main topic of super pac ads. Do you think that might have a dent in well, it goes at his professionalism and his brand is in the middle of that so it might work a little bit better rather than some of these more childish attacks. It goes at competency and it goes to this thing of sort of saying one thing and doing another. Marco rubios argument this is a template what he will do for the voters but it gets in the weeds pretty quickly so im not sure it has a big impact. John, there was arguments after argument against trumps candidacy and then at the end of the night all of the folks on the stage said they would support him if, in fact, he were a nominee and seemed to undercut an entire day they were trying to work against that exact point. I think that is right and i they are making. If they are saying he is going to ruin the country and ruin the Republican Party, then they sort of stepped back from that if they say, well, but ill endorse him any way. So it doesnt seem to be that but this is politics. How does it look for march 15th for him . Well, we are a little bit a ways away. March 15th is the day everybody is focusing on because if the donald trump, they are going to have to do it in florida and ohio which vote on those days, winner take all contests. The strategy is a bit of a long shot at the moment is to have rubio win in florida and to have kasich win in ohio. That would deny trump the delegates or start to deny him the delegates to get to cleveland in the convention and then hopefully they would be able to work it out there. But right now, it looks like trump is still in pretty good shape in those two states. Is there one person behind the scenes running all of these thank you, john. Multipronged attack in this part of the game. Everybody is trying to take him down. John speaks with ted cruz this sunday on face the nation on cbs.

Algae al jidadi was liberated from syria last week. Donned with isis slogans but now that group is under the control of the Syrian Democratic forces and arab Kurdish Alliance backed by the u. S.

But some paid a terrible price for the victory. This womans son baz was just 20 when he was killed in al jadadi. If needed we will all fight against isis and take revenge on them for the lives of these young martyrs. The Syrian Democratic forces are a little more than a rag tag army but they have captured territory from isis and the group is now americas most effective partner on the ground colonel taylor solo told us his fighters have been given a hundred tons of ammunition by the u. S. Led coalition the last six months and he said they have also asked for antitank missiles and machine guns. Has the u. S. Given you any of the weapons that you asked for . No, he told us. So far, all we have had are promises. One of the reasons the u. S. May be reluctant to give weapons to the Syrian Democratic forces is that they are accused of coordinating with russia and a longstanding truce with the syrian regime. But they fought courageously against isis and remain americas most important partner inside syria. Norah . Great reporting from inside syria, Holly Williams. Thank you so much. The u. S.

Recent satellite images show military installations on chinas manmade islands in disputed waters of the south china sea. Despite assurances from chinas president it had no intention to military ize militarize. Last summer we hired a small boat to try to see those small islands firsthand. It almost looks like a city in the middle of the sea. The u. S. Has been patrolling the area as tensions have escalated. Today, despite hundreds of journalists gathered, we had little doubt they would call on us. China had pledged not to militarize its islands in the south china sea, so why has china deployed surfacetoair missile batteries and why is it constructing militarygrade airfields on those islands . [ speaking in Foreign Language ] planes and vessels coming in and out of the south china sea, they are mostly americans, this Parliament Spokeswoman says. The u. S. Deployed our navy to the region.

President obama has given us a hint of his familys plan once the next president s take office.

Couple of years because sasha, transferring something in the middle of high school is tough. President obama is in rare company. The last president to stay in washington after finishing his term was Woodrow Wilson back in 1921. It would be very hard to move sasha in the midst of high school. Hard for anybody.
