8:00 pm
donald trump: thank you very much. i have thousands of employees all over the world. for purposes of tonight, we will just say all of the country. >> on-topic, on-topic. donald trump: you see so many other companies constantly. they used to move from new york to florida. or they've moved from new jersey to someplace else. i tell the story often about a friend of mine is in the excavation business, and he always orders caterpillar. >> nobody cares. donald trump: it takes a lot of courage to run for president. >> this is what people say when
8:01 pm
they have no experience or what they are talking about. donald trump: this has been an amazing. chris christie: get the hell off the beach. donald trump: i like to see everybody get together and unified. and when we unify, there is nobody, nobody that is going to beat us. chris christie: best of luck. ♪ mark: super tuesday is over. now it is just plain old wednesday. still there's a lot first talk , about. so let's get to it, and by it, i mean mitt. tomorrow morning in utah, mitt romney will make a rare speech about his thoughts on the 2016 presidential election. according to a republican source, the speech will not include an endorsement or any big announcement. romney is expected to single out trump or criticism on not releasing his tax returns and
8:02 pm
for not more vocally distancing himself from the ku klux klan. he does not plan to endorse any other candidates in the race. not everyone in the party or even in romney world agrees with mitt's attitude about trump. a former romney advisers said the party leadership could make more progress if they focus on building bridges instead of burning them. reaching out to the gop front-runner. others in the party are indeed in line with the 2012 gop nominee. that includes the current massachusetts governor kirk charlie baker. in other news in the race ben , carson is out. he says he sees no path to the nomination. he will not participate in the debate tomorrow night in his hometown of detroit. so john while we wait for , romney, how will it affect the
8:03 pm
energized stop trump movement? you know as well as i do mitt romney was often branded an , establishment republican. he is not really that. he is not a guy who is tight within the republican party. given the number of pygmies in the party, he is looking more titanic all the time. i think he could be a catalyst for what we both see out there, which is this brewing stop trump movement. whoher he can be someone brings that moment together and galvanizes it in a matter, i don't know. but this will be one more log on the fire burning on that side of the republican party. mark: there still people who like mark -- mitt romney want , romney to run. suspicions this is part of an effort to position himself to be drafted, to be the person that stops trump at the convention. this is not what it is about.
8:04 pm
romney could inspire people to give money to the super pac that is trying to stop trunk. -- stop trump. they could get some big money out there to get ads on the air in some of these upcoming states to try and stop trump. john: no doubt about that. groups have been out there like don quixote trying to tilt at the trump windmill. they have not had any money to do it. we've heard some discussions yesterday with paul sanger and maybe meg whitman getting behind that group. we have to acknowledge one thing whatever the effect, it is a , historic moment. this is a big deal. generically speaking the past , republican nominee speaking out against the current republican front-runner. it hasn't happened in my lifetime in politics. deal.k it is a big damn
8:05 pm
mark: mitt romney has a voice that is unique in the party. it's going to be a big day. we will be watching. moving on, get out your abacus and calculators, we are going to take a quick trip down delegate drive. barring some seismic event donald trump looks destined to become the republican nominee. the other guys seem to be relegated to hoping there is some tricky math that could leave trump and just shy of the number of delegates forcing a , contested convention in cleveland. trump's goal is 1237 delegates. according to the latest count, he now has 319 delegates. his opponents have a combined 385. here is one scenario we came up with for how trump to be stopped short of the majority, and it requires two basic assumptions. besides nevada, caucus states have not been trump's strongest.
8:06 pm
two, trump may see closer races in states with big suburban populations like in virginia last night where he won, but not by very much. even in the states trump has lost, he still gets a lot of delegates. 1/3 of the delegates about. let's say this pattern continues. in the heavily suburban states, white and rural states, the great plains, the midwest. let's also say he loses ohio to john kasich and somehow loses he is way ahead right now, he loses florida to marco rubio. those are two of the big winner take all states. if that happens, he would fall -- even if every other winner grabbed every state, he would fall short of the magic number of 1237. so john, we have laid out that scenario there are lots of other , scenarios. you could tweak it, but does that make a case to you that it
8:07 pm
is possible that trump continuing along, continuing to win a lot of states could stop short of a majority? john: it is plausible. it is not the likeliest outcome. it is certainly plausible. the key thing you have said, where trump may not be's strong, the caucus states where republicans are allowed to vote, he may be weaker. the key thing, he will have to lose the winner take all states. not just ohio and florida but other big winner take all states. he would have to be beaten. in that happens though, i think there is a reasonable -- not the most likely outcome, but a reasonable that he could be stopped short of 1237. that is the only way he will not become the nominee. i am more open to that possibility then the idea of a contested convention than any other time in my career. mark: taking this, we will discuss it again. could the math workout? it could.
8:08 pm
he can win some winner take all states. but these outsiders we mentioned earlier in the program if they , start to advertise big in the states, if marco rubio really focuses on florida and the big field starts to work against trump. john kasich focuses on ohio. you can see a situation where trump is pinned down. he does not win enough states in the winner take all categories to get to that majority. that is what the party is going for. there is a lot of calculation going on. possible, butt is not the most likely outcome. far from impossible. john: i'm not saying he has to lose all the winner take all states. he has to lose the big ones. if you start looking down the field far enough and get into a one-on-one race in places like california and new jersey, i know he has got chris christie on his side, but he could lose those states. you could keep him from getting over the goal line mark:.
8:09 pm
all right. the headlines proclaimed hillary clinton's super tuesday victories. the mastermind behind bernie sanders effort laid out their plans for sanders path forward. they are briefing up to reporters in vermont. their scenario involves the prospect that sanders could win big states like new york and california. and also do well in michigan. that is coming up on tuesday. they were not superhigh on winning florida in their briefing. the, how plausible is sanders plan to stop hillary clinton from getting the majority. john: i think it is not that plausible. i admire those guys. they know the delegate math as anyone in the democratic party. they're trying to find that narrow path. it is really narrow. i think it is a lot less plausible than the earlier thing we're talking about with trump. holding him short of 1237. the states that are more demographically diverse of the
8:10 pm
states where hillary is going to be strong. not the kind of monochromatic demographic description where sanders plays well in. i think it will be very hard for them going forward. mark: sanders did better than i thought he would. i thought he would win or two, but he won four states. this is not about delegate math now. what he needs is a momentum changing win. if he could win in michigan, hillary clinton would face a little more challenge than she does it now. that would be a state she should be in at this point, but it will be difficult for him. once you fall behind in the democratic party rules, it is hard to catch up because of the proportional representation. there is no winner take all. sanders would have to start winning states in a very big way, bigger than he is now if he is going to catch up. the road is tougher for bernie sanders. all right, coming up, another see pack, another debate, and mitt romney again.
8:11 pm
will any of this be potential game changers? on saturday. we will discuss the possibility of that after this. ♪
8:12 pm
♪ haslinda: this week is what political scientists call a freaking dream. super tuesday last night, now coming up, we have mitt romney's surprises speech in utah, then republican candidates debating tomorrow in detroit, and then then the smorgasbord of conservative protocol action cpac. ee, known as a
8:13 pm
all of this culminates this weekend in some voting. on saturday we have caucuses in in kansas, kentucky, and maine. john, can any of the events leading up to saturday's of voting top trump from dominating those contests on saturday? john: i am not sure. a lot of things can happen. if you look at those events it , is not 100% clear to me that trump will dominate them anyway. you think about some of the things we were talking about before some of those are caucus , states where trump will not do well. we have seen trump a do well with evangelicals. he is not obviously in a better position to do well with evangelicals in caucus states than ted cruz is. so i don't think saturday will be a great day for donald trump even if there isn't or aren't any intervening events. mark: if he had a bad debate and
8:14 pm
debate, these bad events hold some peril. mitt romney was in an extraordinarily strong position, and it looked like he was cruising to the nomination. that he had a bad cpac speech where he talked about being severely conservative, and rick santorum one those caucus states , state with no delegates at stake, and it changed the races. saturday has peril for trump. the press is looking to keep the race alive. that is just a reality. this week and could be a real factor in the race regardless of whether trump does well or not. whether trump does well at the debate in the motor city. john: there was not much good news for marco rubio and last night results. pointed to,g they and it is not incredible, the notion that rubio did very well with late deciding voters in a lot of states. there is a case to be made that rubio's attacks on trump, as he
8:15 pm
claimed, propelled him to a better finish and he would have had otherwise. if those attacks continue, it could -- with ben carson now off the stage, if ted cruz and marco rubio go hard at trump tonight, and those attacks take a little more out of trump's hide, together with the weakness in those states we've talked about structurally, it could not be a great saturday for donald trump as this tuesday night was. mark: i will say with the exception of nevada, which had a hybrid caucus primary, trump has lost every caucus he has participated in. if you saw donald trump's super press conference in florida last night, you probably noticed governor christie, who introduced the trump, and then as trump spoke, stood behind him staring at the back of his head. , christie was thoroughly mocked on social media. he has been trounced for seeming to some like an opportunist for
8:16 pm
endorsing trump. john, is indeed possible that chris coons -- chris christie's presence is helping the front runner more than the markers -- mockers believe? john: he was also mocked in our cold open. there is a lot of mockery going on here. let's look at trump's performance at that press conference last night. compared to previous trump press conferences, including one i attended in south carolina, trumpet was very presidential, and he drew rave reviews from a lot of obama advisers and alums from the campaign for the white house. i think there is a chance christie may be having a moderating effect on his rhetoric, helping to make donald trump a better candidate, a more modulated candidate. a more modified version of donald trump. the answer is yeah, as much as christie my deserves the mockery he might also be doing some good , in trump world. mark: i think the inside game,
8:17 pm
there is no doubt about it. if you talk about fewer skills if i were running for president, , i would want chris christie as my campaign manager. the guy knows a lot about politics. he knows a lot about symbolism. as much as he was mocked, trump -- looking for a condition at times trump has someone in his , corner who is a known figure, a great fighter, and somebody who has had experience in electoral politics. i think people can mock christie all they want, but i think there is no doubt that donald trump is lucky and happy to have chris christie by his side. he is helping them quite a bit. coming up, al hunt joins us live to talk about mitt romney's a speech tomorrow after this. ♪
8:18 pm
8:19 pm
8:20 pm
romney: anytime you talk about money donald trump always , likes to tell you how much money he has. the first i was asked about his taxes on the today show, he said they are beautiful, big and beautiful. great, let us see them. he likes to tell people how well he has done. why isn't he willing to let us look at the tax returns? mark: that was mitt romney last week in what i believe was his last interview with fox news where he was talking about donald trump, as we mentioned earlier. the former republican presidential nominee plans to deliver a speech on the state of the presidential 2016 race tomorrow in utah. for more on republican race, here is the columnist al hunt. thank you for coming by. what do you think in motivating mitt romney to do this? is it because he has his own desire? does he feel guilty about taking
8:21 pm
trump's endorsement? because no one else is stopping him? al hunt: all of the above. and let me ask you a question. do you know anyone who is a really avid mitt romney supporter who will be affected by what mitt says who is going to vote for donald trump? that money would be better given given to the poor. i don't think it will work. it will go straight into trump's hands. these criticisms have not worked before. there showed things in focus groups like trump on howard stern, where he says awful things about women. and they showed to women voters and they say, that is all donald. i have serious questions if that will work. somebody has got to be him ted , cruz or rubio or john kasich. you know how tough that is. mark: is romney's voice singular in the party? in other words, the speech is getting a lot of attention. is there anybody like him who could speak out, or does it not really matter because no speech
8:22 pm
will slow trump down? al hunt: i don't think anyone in the party really commands that kind of attention the way a eisenhower 40 or 50 years ago, or reagan in the 1990's. whether it is mitt romney or paul ryan. paul ryan, this is driving him crazy. he just hates all of this. donald trump is the antithesis of everything paul ryan believes in. i think he is smart enough to know he can selectively criticize and speak out. it will not matter. mark: one more thing about romney. is there a chance that romney lays out an argument of clarity that the other republicans, the candidates can latch onto? , al hunt: i'm told he's going to talk about temperament a great deal. presidential temperament. that is a very legitimate case to be made against donald trump. the others have touched on it, but not as deeply as they should. mark: ted cruz had the best night of the remaining trumpet challengers.
8:23 pm
wholel not get off momentum going forward. al hunt: i had a look at that. 23 states were important, not just his home state. not to say he is on our with donald right now, and of course rubio, if it had not been for minnesota, it would've been a miserable night. mark: my brother said to me the stop trump movement was better off with multiple candidates in the race because they could focus on stopping him in different places. i don't think that is true. you can see it in multiple places, if kasich focuses on -- al hunt: that is the only way to stop them. if john kasich dropped out in ohio, rubio would win. donald trump win. same thing in florida. the only way to stop him is having multiple candidates some point, they could zero in on one challenger. i think that will be very hard
8:24 pm
to do. what they are really counting on is he goes into that convention with 1140 delegates, or 1120 delegates, and there will be a second ballot and blood on the floor. mark: i don't think donald trump got any major endorsements in the wake of his super tuesday night. al hunt: he is not someone i want to get on that bandwagon with. mark: will that moment come? if trump is short of the majority, what you see john cornyn, lamar alexander, republican leading senators voting for trump? al hunt: i don't think lamar alexander everwood. there are all kinds of reasons in politics. whether they are conservatives or moderate, they really don't think donald trump is anywhere near qualified to be president. it's not ideological thing. it is not like in the fights before. they just think he is a man who is eminently unqualified. mark: he threatened paul ryan
8:25 pm
but also said the party should come together around me. decided hek if trump wanted lamar alexander's endorsement he could get on the phone and set up meetings and get these? if things goes his way, he reaches out to them and says look, i will be the nominee, i would like to work with you. with a be susceptible to that? al hunt: a number would not be. ben weber andd stuart stevens, they think he is -- they cannot bring themselves to embrace and -- and eminently unqualified person. independentor an candidate, that is a real pipedream. if they just sit it out and go home to cleveland, i don't know. people really did think in 1980 , bush people really felt reagan was not qualified as george bush. they got regular be a disaster as president, unqualified. it really is a seachange. mark: could we see rents primas
8:26 pm
in -- al hunt: they will be a convention, it will be fun to watch. but i thinkbizarre, there will be a lot of politicians who will have to go. we are talking about lamar alexander, who is different from your run-of-the-mill -- mark: thank you. i was kidding when i said rinse pre-miss. he is normal. up next, a former spokesperson for jeb bush's campaign. he is here to talk about his new position in life, which is kind of sort of like his old job, trying to stop donald trump from becoming the republican nominee. you can listen to this program on the radio in washington. 99.1 fm. ♪

8:33 pm
-- what would you like to see mitt romney say in his speech tomorrow? tim miller: hey governor romney, i would love to see you say, no matter who you are in the republican party, no matter whether you can stand for yourself in the establishment or the conservative movement, or the populist, donald trump is not looking out for you. he is a fraud. he is looking out for himself. i think that what you have seen from mitt over the past few weeks is highlighting the fact that donald hasn't released his tax returns. my guess is it's because he gives basically nothing to charity. he claims he gives money to the wounded warriors, but he has no evidence of that. he probably pays very little tax. taxas not put out his return. mitt has rightly called him out on that. he would not clearly denounced the kkk. my hope is that he would continue to do that tomorrow with moral clarity.
8:34 pm
i expect that he will, and i look forward to hearing what he has to say. you have to covered wall-to-wall with the same intensity as donald trump. mark: you have come out to join this effort. charlie baker, the governor of massachusetts, came out. a few other people have. i don't know if anything has gotten as much attention as governor christie's endorsement of donald trump. i am wondering what you think, you have written on twitter quite a bit. , helping donald trump stabilize the commanding position he is in? tim miller: basically what it did was expose the fact that chris christie's entire campaign was a farce. ostensibly, he was running for office as a tell it like it is candidate, wanting to talk hard that ourut policy country wants to address, and then he went and endorsed the candidate who offers absolutely no policy specific, who wanted tell people the opposite of hard
8:35 pm
truth. donald trump to tell people what they want to hear. say, guy that was due to he says what they wish he would say. he is not saying hard truth, he is a complete phony and a fraud. the fact that chris christie is going to support him just so he can continue to get on tv, standing by donald trump, around a lot of fake gold chandeliers and whatnot, i think it reflects horribly on him. to the extent it has gotten a lot of media coverage, a huge portion has been accrued negatively to chris christie, and i think that is extremely well-deserved. mark: is the republican party in -- and your associates, your friends in the party, are you on a panic over donald trump being your nominee? tim miller: i am not in a panic, i cannot speak for everybody. i think that he can absolutely
8:36 pm
still be stopped. the conventional wisdom being said in d.c. is very much considered of the fact that this nomination process will work out like past nomination processes have. in fact, it is different. donald trump right now has received less than half the delegates. ted cruz and marco rubio combined have more delegates than trump does. if you look at the exit polls yesterday, the gi number was half the voters that showed up to vote, they would be unhappy with donald trump as the nominee. this is not like george w. bush in 1999 where he was a consolidating support as the process went on. donald trump is finding more and more people that don't want him to be the nominee. mark: less than 30 seconds. if donald trump called you and left a message, explain what i about, would you call him back? tim miller: yes, sure i would call him back. i have a lot of things i would like to talk to him about.
8:37 pm
i would be happy to bury him on himt of things, -- query with a lot of things. i would never vote for him, i would never support him. there is nothing he could say to win me. he is a complete fraud. he has demonstrated he is a complete fraud over the body of his life. in fact today, he was pro-outsourcing and pro-path to citizenship, and even the campaign, he can't be trusted for president. he has no respect for the constitution. but we don't ever have to worry about that. we are to make sure the public -- republican party does not give him the nomination. mark: thank you. we'll be talking to you regularly. i look forward to it. the president of planned , parenthood is here to talk about the supreme court. ♪

♪ mark: here with me is the president of planned parenthood cecile richards. ,thank you for joining me. donald trump has been talking a lot about planned parenthood and praising planned parenthood. i know you don't agree with him and support him, but do you like that a prominent voice in politics is defunding the role of planned parenthood? i think what he is saying actually reflects for the american people are. -- one ine minute five women in america has been to us for health care. what he is saying is very disingenuous because on the one hand he praises our work but then he says that he was president would end the ability of people to come to us for health care. he can't have it both ways. mark: but you could exist as an
8:41 pm
organization without any government funding. cecile richards: we been around for 100 years. we are about to celebrate the centennial, so i look forward to doing for this work or another 100 years to i just think it is really dangerous when politicians begin putting their own little agenda ahead of the well-being of people in this country and their access to health care. that is what we are seeing. unfortunately this republican presidential primary, it is every single candidate saying they would end access to legal abortion. think that reflects where the american people are and frankly where republicans are. mark: he seems to be, there seems to be no medical upside in the context for him to praise the role you play in health issues outside of abortion. i was wondering what you think, the fact that he is doing that is a good thing because he seems to be, as the republican front-runner saying that planned parenthood does a lot of good? cecile richards: he or his poll
8:42 pm
numbers are showing what we can see which is that people support us. i am always grateful when people actually understand what we do. there are a lot of folks running for office that don't even understand the good work planned parenthood does. i don't want anyone to be misled about the danger of someone who is going to run for president and then say for the 2.5 million folks to come for us for health care you can't go back there for , health care. we have been part of this for decades in america. mark: within the context of the republican nomination fight, your fighter, hillary clinton, seems to be doing well. would you say she is the favorite to be the next president? cecile richards: speaking as the president of planned parenthood, i think she has an incredible record particularly in women's health. is favored bye some a folks that come to us. she is poised to to win the democratic nomination.
8:43 pm
as you can see my last night demonstrating her breadth of , support. i don't think anyone is taking anything for granted. this has been one of the most interesting political years. i have been doing this for so long. what are the most interesting political years. i'm glad to see so many young people interested in electoral politics, getting out and organizing. they will be a critical voting block in november. they will certainly swing for her. mark: i have covered enough of these that when the supreme court is put on the table, a will carehat people about this, but voters usually don't. do you think this fight will be part of the dialogue on the presidential campaign trail? cecile richards: i think it will. i just left the supreme court where they are hearing the case about the texas laws that have been so restrictive on women's access to safe and legal abortion in that state. i was interested in the cosmo poll that showed for millennial voters their top two issues were , health care access and
8:44 pm
reproductive rights. because of the assault at the state level, and because so many cases are in the court, it is a special year. i tend to agree with you that usually the supreme court seems rather far away. but because of all these assault on women's health care and the efforts to turn back the clock, i think the supreme court will be important to a lot of cases we all care about. it is more on the minds of voters than anything i've ever seen. mark: as president obama thinks about who he may nominate, is it an absolute for you that he nominate someone based on their public record or direct questioning that they will uphold the roe versus wade? is that absolute? cecile richards: i think it is important that anyone who is a nominee for the court respects the history of the court and respect judicial precedents. i am a camp of believing president obama was elected for
8:45 pm
a four-year term, not a three-year term. it is unconscionable to me for the united states senate, or the leaders to say we will not even an -- consider anyone. there are a lot more cases coming up in the ranks. the american people deserve to have nine judges on the supreme court, regardless of who is president. mark: i want to take you back to this, is there should be no limits to either party. others say it with such an important precedents. dence. e does obama have to nominate someone who has said they will support that decision? insistrichards: i can't president obama does anything, but planned parenthood and the millions of people that depend on us for health care, it is really important to us to have a federal judiciary that supports women's rights and the rights of
8:46 pm
safe and legal abortion. it should not be hypothetical. today we saw a case argued before the court that even as the solicitor general said, if these kinds of restrictions are a fact upheld, there may be constitutional right or a legal right to say it is a safe and legal, but it effectively no right at all because women cannot access it. mark: i should not have said litmus test. would you be disappointed if not obama nominated someone who did not uphold roe versus wade? cecile richards: i will be disappointed in any judge who does not support roe versus wade. mark: if he picks without knowing in advance their statement on upholding roe, if he did that -- cecile richards: i will be disappointed in any nominee that does not support women's rights are you. mark: you won't know until they
8:47 pm
are on the court. he could nominate someone who has written, i support roe, or asked, will you uphold roe to come before the court, would you be disappointed if he takes someone without knowing the supported roe? cecile richards: i think it goes into such a hypothetical, i will be disappointed. millions of women will be disappointed if the next nominee to the court doesn't clearly support women's rights including roe. mark: giving a name. cecile richards: i will not start speculating. mark: who would be someone you would like? cecile richards: i have for lots of names. mark: who have you heard? cecile richards: i am not into picking. that is not the best judgment to have my endorsement if they want to be confirmed to the supreme court. it is important we look for judges who haven't judicial temperament that understand women are at desk equal parts of
8:48 pm
the society, and sitting there today in the courtroom, getting to hear a case argued where we have three women on the supreme court -- as a woman, as a mom, it makes a huge difference to have a different voices in the have walked inly the shoes of women in this country. i am grateful for the addition of a linda kagan. mark: we can all agree it is great for the court to look more like america. cecile richards: absolutely. mark: thank you. coming up, how much of a standup comic is marco rubio? we will find out what people think after this. ♪
