so if you're turning 65 soon, call now and get started. because the time to think about tomorrow...is today. go long. welcome back at the top of the hour. 9:00 p.m. in washington. a grand old freak-out appears under way in some parts of the gop with what happens if donald trump dominates the gop. we have a new poll that shows him leading by an eye-popping 35 percentage points. trump winning it all could be in the words of some, toxic. we begin with sunlen serfaty. >> reporter: a chaotic close to campaigning.

trump's raucous rally in virginia interrupted by protesters. >> get them out of here, please. are you from mexico? are you from mexico? >> reporter: and a vilent scuffle between secret service and a news photographer slammed to the ground after trying to get a slam of the chaos, all while trump deals with his latest controversy. refusing to disavow former kkk grand wizard david duke and other white supremacists backing his campaign. >> will you unequivocally condemn david duke and say you don't want his vote or that of other white supremacists in this election? >> i don't know anything about david duke. i don't know anything about what's you are talking about with white supremacy. >> reporter: trump attempting some damage control tweeting a video from a previous press conference friday when he did disavow duke's support and pointing to that fact today. >> we looked at it and looked at

the question, i disavowed david duke. i disavowed him all weekend long and obviously it's never enough. >> reporter: all this giving marco rubio another opening to pounce. >> you say david duke to me, i say racist. immediately. >> reporter: rubio with his voice hoarse. >> trying to get my barry white voice going. >> reporter: and cruz keeping up their all-out assault on trump. >> where was donald in the gang of eight. not only was he nowhere to be found, donald trump was funding the gang of eight. >> reporter: meanwhile, despite pressure from some party elders to exit the race, john kasich says even though he has no hope of winning any states tomorrow, he is staying put. >> marco rubio is trailing in florida by 17 points. why aren't they telling him to get out and get behind me. i have a better chance of winning in ohio than he does in florida. >> reporter: a new cnn/orc poll

out today shows trump with a commanding lead of the field nationally. trump 33 points ahead of his closest rival, beating his four remaining opponents combined. faced with this, the republican party establishment is now in full-on panic mode fearing that trump is well on his way to becoming the likely gop nominee. >> sunlen serfaty joins us now. you've been with the cruz campaign in texas. how important is a win in texas for that candidate? >> so crucial for ted cruz. widely seen as really a do or die state for his campaign. if he loses here in texas, his home state, it would be widely seen not only as an embarrassment but as a crushing blow, a symbolic defeat. also when you are talking about the all-important math here, delegates, that contributes a large part to the candidate's viability going forward. there are 155 delegates at stake here in texas. the cruz campaign has always made texas really the

cornerstone of how they will amass this treasure trove of delegates going forward. that threatens to cut into that if they don't perform well here tomorrow. they have invested a large part of this week, four out of the seven days here in their home state of texas. three events today. still going tonight. ted cruz has a rally in houston later tonight. they are putting up the pressure here in their hometown. ted cruz predicts a very good day for himself here in textexa but, of course, the stakes are sky high for him to do so. the republican candidate has been trying in every way imaginable to position himself as the anti-trump. ohio governor john kasich. >> but i'm not doing it by throwing mud. >> that's the thing. >> personal attacks. >> you've been trying to set yourself apart in terms of how you're speaking, how you're talking to voters. when you see those images of -- >> that looked like something

out of some other country, the fighting. but i don't think that you beat donald trump by attacking him personally. i think it's a matter of telling people what your record is, what you have accomplished, who you are and what your vision is. >> so you don't think the rhetoric that rubio has been using, which is getting him more coverage, more play probably, you don't think that's translating? >> it's not what i would do because i just think that -- look. it's all about how you want to be in this -- in the business of politics. i would rather be positive about my ideas and my vision and, look, we're getting great crowds. the problem is what i have faced, anderson over the years is that -- or in this race, is that people didn't pay attention to me until after new hampshire. let me tell you, when we head north and i win ohio, that's going to be a whole new day. i'm not going to do it by smearing anybody or taking politics down. there's a lot of people watching. and when you see those videos

and you see the scuffling and then hear the name-calling back and forth. >> talking about spray tans and makeup, little hands. >> i would rather not win than lower the bar. i would rather -- i've never run a campaign like that. i've run more campaigns than all of these people put together. i don't resort to that. i think it's about vision. it's about hope and unity. i'm hanging in there. >> when you see this national poll where donald trump has a greater percentage than all of you combined, what does that tell you? >> first of all, we don't run a national election now. it's state by state. when we head north to michigan and ohio, we'll see a game change. at the same time, people are frustraitted. i was in chickapea, massachusetts. he said trump says it like it is. let me tell you about his hands or hair. he would have blown me off. i had time to talk to him about why his wages are not going up, what i've done to fix that in washington and ohio.

if i were to talk to him babout his kids' future, i could win that voter. but you'll not win it if you are out there trashing him. >> at the last gop debate you were offered a chance -- trump said cut waste, fraud and abuse as a way to bring down the deficit. you were asked point blank is that really -- >> and i said it wasn't and i said how we would do it. as a result of being positive, people are saying john kasich is the only adult on the stage. >> for you the path is you have to win ohio? >> yes, i absolutely have to win ohio. if i don't win ohio, i'm out. if i get smoked in new hampshire, i said i'd be out. i finished second. >> do you think ted cruz -- >> i think it's very hard. if you can't win your own home state when i don't know why you are in the race. that's for every candidate to decide. people say, you should get out of the race. maybe they should get ot of the race. i don't know what cruz is going to do in texas tomorrow. but i know how i'm going fo do

in ohio. i'm going to win it. you move from ohio, pennsylvania, illinois, these are places i can do very well. >> we're hearing from some establishment republicans exactly what that means these days, who are now publicly saying, i don't know what i would do if it's donald trump and hillary clinton. i'm not going to vote for hillary clinton, but i can't vote for donald trump. do you worry about what happens to the gop? >> well, i'm worried about the gop when we're not running a campaign based on ideas. i believe in politics. you get your energy from ideas. you unite people with ideas. if you are negative -- i'm not sure you can even win ohio with that kind of negative message. at some point people are going to say, i expressed myself but now we're picking a president of the united states. >> if you are waiting until illinois to -- >> it's coming soon. right around the corner. >> by then a lot of delegates will be decided. >> but not so many i can't win the delegates i need to win.

>> if you see ohio when you see minds begin to shift? >> i'm going to get attention. people are going to continue to hear my message. we're getting huge crowds everywhere we go and enthusiastic people. and we have more people signing up and helping us with fund-raising. and the reason it's happening is because i think they want to see the bar raised, and not lowered. >> do you see a potential for a broker convention? >> it could always happen. it's unlikely to happen. i can't think of a better place than cleveland, ohio if we're going to have a brokered convention. before bringing back the panel, i want to play a little bit of reaction from congressman peter king when asked about how donald trump handling jake tapper's question about kkk leader david duke. >> the thought that anyone can even listen to a question about david duke without immediately saying, he's a racist, he's a big bigot, i want nothing to do with the ku klux klan. he said he didn't know who david duke was or what a white spre

supremacist is. i know what they did to al smith and catholics over the years. this is a vicious anti-american group. he's either dumb or a liar. and also what it does to the republican party. if we get branded as the party of the ku klux klan, we're going to get destroyed. we're joined once again by our panelists. does this kkk argument to peter king's point, does it continue? does it actually -- because rubio is using it now. it's been in the news cycle for the last two days. >> the republican establishment is already having this unternal debate. some of it is an ex-ternal public debate. do we embrace him or turn and run? some argue let's embrace him. let's not let the party fracture.

we want the party's votes. let's hug him. lose a presidential election and try to keep those voters. others say turn and run. those who say turn n run say every congressional cand daughter, every candidate for dog catcher as a republican in this country will be asked, what do you think of the kkk? will you disavow david duke? disavow donald trump? no matter what you are running from, if you are a republican, you'll turn and go the other way because that's the question you'll get. >> i was talking to someone involved with those senate campaigns. and he said to me, you know, if donald trump is the nominee, they are going to tell candidates you're alone. you run as who you are. you don't have to explain anybody else. and i think there's also some concern, quite frankly, about corporations funding the convention, for example. will corporations ante up for all those big-ticket items they usually pay for at conventions when you have these kinds of

questions rumbling around. there are questions about what it does to the brand of the republican party which they worked really hard to try and get in a good place. >> the question is what happened there? what exactly happened there? let's stipulate that mr. trump says he had problems with the ear piece. but the fact is presidential campaigns, as much as issues or anything else, they are a series of tests to see how people react under pressure. and this was a situation where he got asked a question and you can see him trying to make the calculation as to how to answer this question. i think it's a reflection of the fact he's a very tactical candidate. he was trying to figure out what the math was on that. and he got caught in a bad moment. that is symptomatic of a problem that can get repeated over and over as you get more and more scrutiny. it will be interesting how he handles -- >> i think hugh hughes called it

a disqualifying moment. >> they are eager to disqualify him, too. >> i guess the thing is trump is leading in all of these states in the south. the idea that somehow he needs this dog whistle to make the sale on tuesday is a little odd. but he does have a way of trying to figure out what his audience wants to hear. he's also this candidate where, you know, there's something for everyone. so in this instance, it's like, if you like david duke, when you like the fact -- >> he did disavow the guy two days before. >> exactly. >> that's another thing we should point out. >> he's playing both sides against the middle. he knows his audience. he was in georgia today saying i'm the mess. >> messenger for you. i know how you feel. at some point maybe this will be a rearview mirror. we know how donald trump is. he goes from controversy to controversy. >> certainly once he's running against a democrat, you can already imagine the commercials

that a superpac will be doing based on this and other comments and other things he's retweeted. >> what has he not given us? p.o.w.s, he's talked about hispanic americans, the disabled, journalists, now the kkk? donald trump has done everything but he's also gone against common wisdom. is this going to hurt donald trump tomorrow? no. but this repeated onslaught, these controversies as we're calling them. i call them just dangerous rhetoric that's divisive and not good for our country. democrats are going to beat him across the head with thus. people like rob portman, people who have to win elections for the united states senate to stay in the hands of republicans are in more danger with donald trump at the top of the ticket. kayleigh you disagree? >> this has been an all-out effort to attack donald trump. first he was a con man, then a flip-flopper then sexist and racist. there's been every effort to paint him as one of these labels. >> and none of them has stuck.

>> he still may be a racist. >> he is -- >> i think that he has found a vein of bigotry and zeen phobia and is playing that because they vote as well. >> bakari, you really think that proclaiming support for the kkk is a viable viewpoint that would pick up a lot of support in this country? >> why did he not disavow it? >> because his earpiece malfunctioned. >> i said this earlier. there were seven states he's going into where there's a wing of the republican party or folks that would vote republican, support that type of rhetoric. >> you're saying the south is racist. >> what's defensive is the fact there are people there that are racist and that want the confederate flag flying over state capitols. >> that is not the majority. >> i'm not saying it's the majority but here's the thing i want to say. in 2012, the gop had to do an autopsy report because they have a problem reaching out to black and brown voters. donald trump and his rhetoric

and the danger that exists with the words he speaks and what he allows to happen in his space, whether it's a black lives matter activist -- >> -- the black vote by hillary clinton by 25%. >> i don't know what -- >> wait a minute. you believe donald trump will win the african-american -- >> not beat her 25%. win 25% of the african-american vote. the only minority poll which came out in september shows him win -- >> i'm sorry, nia? >> let me just say -- >> there's a more recent poll that came out two weeks ago that shows him with 12% hypothetical matchup. >> still more than romney. >> he's not running against an african-american man. >> and that was -- >> the first african-american candidate to run for president. but, look, donald trump's earpiece, unless you are one of his firm supporters, you realize his earpiece did not malfurn malfunction. his brain malfunctioned for that brief moment because he had disavowed david duke before. >> could have been a bad

interview -- >> a brain freeze. it happens. and i am actually fine with people getting asked, other republican candidates getting asked the question. until now every single one has been solid in disavowing the kkk and disavowing -- >> there's an easy out for donald trump here that is a win-win. he can beat up the media and say, look, i didn't hear the question but let me look right into the camera. today after the fact, i didn't hear the question. i had a bad earpiece. look straight into the camera and say i disavow david duke and white supremacists n racists. if they are out there for me, i don't want their support. boom, stop. and then say stop asking me these questions. >> it's been more than 24 hours. >> if he wanted to do that, he could do it. >> we're -- wait. no one is going to listen. we're going to take a break and continue this discussion one at a time. also, more of my conversation with melania trump. i asked her what kind of first lady she thinks she would make.

picking up with the conversation we were having. david duke,eerpieces, brain freezes. the african-american vote. nearly all of it. back with our panel which i'm not going to introduce again because it's too long. where were we? >> super monday, about to go into super tuesday. we're laughing because we're having a good conversation. it's an important conversation. there's some disagreements. if you step back and look at the

big picture, by not that far after this time tomorrow night, plus three or four hours, we could be looking at the inevitability of donald trump. he could win all 11 states tomorrow. more likely that ted cruz wins texas and donald trump is favored in the other ten. >> is there anyone who believes that donald trump will not be the republican nominee? >> well -- >> i have to believe -- >> that's hoping. >> i will call it a belief, wishful thinking, hope, prayer, hanging on for dear life. >> where is the possibility that he does not become the nominee? what is that path? for who? >> you know, i think -- i don't know if it's going to be timely, but at some point there will be one person left versus donald trump. >> you sure about that? that's the issue. that's the issue. >> they'll be battered. thaul be bruised. they'll probably be poverty stricken but one left. will there be time enough to

consolidate the anti-trump vote, which is significant, and will that vote consolidate? will the cruz voters, rubio voters, kasich voters all turn into one? that's a question that's needs to be answered. who will be left standing is a question that needs to be answered, and will there be enough time to still be -- >> you really like the trump/rubio matchup? >> nia, i'll take the trump versus anyone matchup. give me one last person standing. >> but doesn't that theory sort of your unicorn theory, doesn't that -- >> pink flying unicorn. >> my pretty pony unicorn. the idea is that if cruz drops out all those vote goes to rubio which is not what's going to happen. you'll have some of those cruz votes going to donald trump. >> that's one of the questions that needs to be answered. >> another theory -- >> gloria has another theory. although you didn't raise your hand. >> second unicorn theory.

there are two campaigns now talking about it which is this contested convention which is that nobody gets out. you just spoke with john kasich. he is not going to get out. i mean, i doent think he's going to get out right away if his funders stay with him and love him. >> he wins ohio. >> if he wins ohio. and he's backed by the state party in ohio which is different for marco rubio in florida. if cruz wins texas, i don't think he'll get out. so there are people -- i know it's a unicorn theory, but -- >> here's my question. i think your unicorn -- >> can i finish my unicorn theory. wait a minute. i want to finish the unicorn theory which is that you go to a convention. he doesn't get the requisite number of delegates. you have a first ballot in which everyone is bound and then the second -- >> this is like the double rainbow and unicorn. >> and by the way, it -- >> let's accept this unicorn theory for a moment.

what happens to a political party who takes its front-runner who has won almost enough delegates to get nominated and you say to his supporters, we're throwing your votes out and we're going to substitute our judgment? >> but as a democrat, we just spent the first hour and 15 minutes talking about the front-runner of the republican party and him avowing or disavowing the kkk. that is the level of political discourse that we're having in this country on the republican side. and marco rubio, who is a complete superstar, who any democrat will tell you they don't want to run against in november if they're being honest with themselves is being reduced to having to talk about hands and who peed on who. this is the conversation that we're having on the republican side. if it goes to the convention and all hell breaks loose -- >> but just -- >> i was going to -- >> i was going to say -- >> let me look at your hands. >> for accuracy sake, i don't

think anybody was -- >> but does rubio change tactics after maybe tuesday. maybe he'll beat cruz in some of these states. >> what if marco rubio -- >> marco rubio turns this into a two-man race. the only thing we've been talking about -- >> except there's still five guys on the ballot. >> we rarely -- >> two-man race and he's got the larger hands. >> marco has taken the page out of donald trump's book and said things that are really outrageous. i think it's a double-edged sword. on one hand he's getting the media narrative, the attention, he's turning it into a two-man fight. he's turning off a lot of people. it emphasizes his youth. i think that a lot of people are used to a very optimistic marco rubio who speaks in poetic prose about the exceptionalism about america. and hearing him talk about -- >> kayleigh raised a point earlier. it goes to what bakari was saying. bakari was saying this kkk,

we've had this narrative. we've had this narrative and the media has and those who are opposed to donald trump have had it. but trump supporters, this is not a discussion it seems like they're having. they feel they know who this candidate is. they know what's in his heart and head and know what's in -- what he, you know, hopes to do as president. >> it's important to look at each of these elections we've had. nearly 60 -- pushing 70% of the vote has gone to outsider candidates. i include ted cruz among that. ted cruz and donald trump are the two candidates receiving very few endorsements which in this electoral cycle with this temperature in the nation, that's a good thing. rubio is consolidating the congressman and governors but makes him look like a washington insider in an election that is about being an outsider. sngs. just ahead, another item in addition to the davids duke story. a white nationalist group making robocalls supporting donald trump saying among other things the white race is dying out because we're afraid to be called racist. the trump campaign says it knows nothing about this group.

as we've been discussing, donald trump is getting support from all kinds of places, including white supremacist. david duke is supporting him citing among other things trump's stance to immigration. the anti-defamation league has called on him to condemn david duke, something he failed to do when jake tapper asked him about it on "state of the union" this weekend. trump said he had disavowed duke before, which he had at a press conference on friday, and also years before, calling him a racist and bigot. he also blamed his answers on a lousy earpiece of tapper's show. as you saw, i asked donald trump's wife melania about it when i spoke to her earlier today. >> i'm sure you know there was an interview he gave yesterday where jake tapper was asking him about david duke, disavowing him, the kkk, and he didn't disavow. he had done it previously several days before, and he's

now put out a statement -- >> he disavowed many times. he disavowed press conference on friday. so i don't know why media needs to ask him so many times because he disavowed. >> when you saw that interview, did you think that's going to be a problem? >> i don't think so because they were asking him about the groups, and he said i don't know about the groups, what you are talking about, the groups. so he disavowed. many, many times. so media just bringing up, bringing up all the time. >> so just to be clear, donald trump disavowed duke at a press conference friday. it raises questions why two days later he claims to not know who david duke was. was it a brain freeze or faulty earpiece. this is all bringing tae ining to another group coming out to support trump. robocalls from a white nationalist group started to flood early voting states like iowa, new hampshire and vermont

before their votes. now the same group is expanding its robocalls to some super tuesday states. drew griffin looks into it. >> reporter: this is the super tuesday message trump's white nationalist supporters are making in their robocalls ahead of tomorrow's vote. >> the american national superpac makes this call to support donald trump. i am william johnson, a farmer and white nationalist. the white race is dying out in america and europe because we're afraid to be called racist. i'm afraid to be called racist. donald trump is not a racist but donald trump is not afraid. don't vote for a cuban. vote for donald trump. >> reporter: the american national superpac is a confederation of white nationalists across the u.s. jerod taylor is the online editor of amran, the outlet of one of these groups called the american renaissance. >> most white people would prefer to live in majority white neighborhoods and send their children to majority white schools. and deep in their bones they are deeply disturbed by an

immigration policy that is making the united states majority non-white. and so when donald trump talks about sending out all the illegals, building a wall and a moratorium on islamic umigration, that's very appealing to a lot of ordinary white people. >> reporter: taylor who says he's a white advocate, not a supremacist, thinks whites should live with whites, blacks should live with blacks. >> why should we want more muslims? muslims have been a terrible problem for europe. and here they want to pray five times a day, stop the assembly line, foot baths for before they go to prayer. they want women only swimming pool hours. and some of them want to kill us. why should anyone want more muslims in the united states? >> many of the things you are saying, people would interpret as vile and racist. >> they can call me all the names they like. but what i'm saying is natural, normal and healthy. >> do you think that donald trump wants your support?

>> i don't know whether he wants it or not. i think he wants support from everyone, whether or not he'd agree with me is an entirely other matter. remember, it is i who am supporting donald trump, not donald trump who is supporting me. >> reporter: late this afternoon the trump campaign sent cnn this statement saying mr. trump nor the campaign have knowledge of this group or the calls being made. we immediately disavow all related activity. to be clear, the american national superpac says it has nothing to do with the official trump campaign and has no communication with donald trump. its white nationalist members just like trump and are willing to support him whether the candidate welcomes them or not. just to button this up -- >> yes. >> -- all those views you have, donald trump is your man? >> he is the best man so far. >> so this guy says he's the best candidate so far. what does he believe donald trump will do as president that he's so excited about? >> this guy complained about an

earlier story saying we misspoke about what he believes. he doesn't believe we should get rid of muslims, he just doesn't want any more muslims. he wrote us a letter to tell us we should show that distinction to our viewers. what he believes donald trump will do is he will send away all illegal immigrants. he will build a wall on the border with mexico. and he will stop all islamic umigratiu immigration, at least temporarily. that's why they are supporting human and say donald trump is their man. >> the trump campaign has said we don't know anything about this group. we completely disavow what they are saying. i mean, is this a big group? are these groups big? any group can sort of glom on to a candidate to try to get publicity, to try to raise money n that may be what this group is trying to do. >> these groups are getting publicity they never would have gotten just based on -- they live on their websites. they believe their group, they claim their group's hundreds of

thousands strong. we have no way of knowing that. they base that on how many go to their websites. >> which is a ridiculous metric. >> of course. we could be dealing with very, very small group of people who have collected enough money to put on these robocalls, which is very cheap to do. but they are getting these robocalls out now state after state after state. they are moving with this campaign. >> disturbing calls to get. drew griffin, thanks. just ahead, more on my interview with melania trump. i asked her what kind of first lady she hopes to be if she gets to the white house. >> we are in 21st century. i will be me. i will be different than any other first ladies. i will -- i will help women. i will help children. they are our future. they need our guidance and help. and also i am involved in many, many charities already, so i

now more of my one on one

interview with melania trump. she told me she doesn't always agree with everything her husband donald trump says but she lets him be him and he lets her be her. in the second part of the interview i asked her what kind of first lady she hopes to be. if your husband is elected president, i think you would be the second foreign-born first lady. i think john quincy adam's wife -- it hasn't happened in a long time. have you thought about what being the first lady would mean? >> we are in 21st century. i would be me. i will be different than any other first ladies. i will -- i will help women. i will help children. they are our future. they need our guidance and help. and also i am involved in many, many charities already, so i will choose one or two that are

very dear to me and work on that. >> when you say help women and children, do you have a sense of how? or what way? >> i have ideas, but, let's see what happens. i take it day by day. we don't know what will happen, and we will see. so then we can talk. >> i saw the interview you did in 2000 when your husband was thinking of running with the reform party you said you'd be a traditional first lady. you named betty ford and jacqueline kennedy. is that still the model you're thinking of? >> i see that they compare me to jackie kennedy. it's an honor, but, of course, we are in 21st century, and i will be different. and she had the great style, and she did a lot of good stuff, but this is different time now. we have a different problems that we need to take care of. and we will focus on that.

>> being part of this campaign, running for president, is it a lot different than you thought it would be, or is it -- >> i take it day by day. i didn't think much about it. and i support my husband 100%. but i am not on the campaign because we have a 9-year-old son at home. i'm raising him. he needs a parent at home. i'm teaching him morales and values and preparing him for his life to be an adult. >> are you worried about if you do get to the white house the attention that that becomes for your child? >> we will deal with that. i say day by day and he will be in good hands no matter what happens. and attention is already from the first day that he was born. we're used to that. we have thick skin. we are smart. we are tough. and we can handle it. >> do you speak -- i understand

you know slovenian. do you speak in slovenian to him? >> sometimes, yes. and he speaks with my parents. >> does mr. trump know any words? >> maybe few, but i'm not the kind of wife that say you need to learn. >> is there something in particular you're looking forward to about being in the white house? is there -- >> i take it day by day and enjoying life and live meaningful life, and i think we need to bring america together. we need compassion. we need kindness. we need jobs, of course. that's my husband's job to do. and he will do very well. he's a great leader. great communicator. he gets along with people, and great negotiator. >> do you think this campaign is going to go on for a long time or are things going to become clear pretty soon?

>> well, tomorrow it's super tuesday. so we will see what happens. and we will see. he's working hard. he's connecting with american people. he will work for them. and we will see what happens. but he's -- he's here until the end. >> you see yourself playing a larger role moving forward on the campaign trail, or do you see yourself continuing as it has been? >> more interviews, but as for traveling, i need to be a parent to my child, and i am with my husband traveling when i can. i was in iowa, new hampshire. i go for the debates. and when i can, i'm there. >> any speech-making in your future? >> we don't know yet. not thinking about that yet. >> well, melania trump. hispanics will be a key voting bloc in texas tomorrow. ted cruz holding a late rally in houston. one of two latinos in the race.

does that add up to an edge in the gop? randi kaye talked to voters and some of what they say may surprise you. that's next. they come alive when you touch them. and then they go back to still when you let go. so every time you take a picture, you get more than just a photo. you get to relive the moment. because it teleports you through space and time. i'm kidding. time travel is dangerous.

if you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's, and your symptoms have left you with the same view, it may be time for a different perspective. if other treatments haven't worked well enough, ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works by focusing right in the gi-tract to help control damaging inflammation and is clinically proven to begin helping many patients achieve both symptom relief as well as remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. while not reported with entyvio, pml,

a rare, serious brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections, or have flu-like symptoms, or sores. liver problems can occur with entyvio. if your uc or crohn's medication isn't working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio. entyvio. relief and remission within reach. at ally bank, no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like social media equals anti-social. hey guys, i want you to meet my fiancée, denise. hey. good to meet you dennis.

battleground states tomorrow. more than a quarter of eligible voters in texas are hispanic. this time, the question how will that factor in, if at all, for hispanic voters. randi kaye takes a look at that. >> how important is it to you to have a hispanic president, the first hispanic president? who cares? one of you? it's not really a big deal. >> i want the most qualified. >> the most qualified candidate to some voters is donald trump. >> my fellow trumpsters are equally excited. we haven't been this excited in a long time. >> reporter: on the eve of super tuesday, we gather at southern method university in the heart of dallas, george w. bush country. turns out, not only do a handful of them like trump, they've hardly been affected about i

anything that he's said. all but two in our group support trump's idea of building a wall at the southern border. >> okay. what a lot of people don't realize with the whole immigration issue, if the person comes over to this country and they don't have the right documentations, it's against the law. i don't understand why people don't get that. >> there's no such thing as open borders. >> reporter: undecided voter likes kasich and rubio. she's against trump's wall. >> and i'm looking for a leader that will unite, will not use fiery rhetoric. i want someone that can bring us together as a nation. build bridges, not walls. >> reporter: senator rubio is popular amongst this group. delia likes rubio's immigration plan which doesn't include mass deportation. >> i can't imagine how they are

going to take 11 million people. what's it going to do to the economy? i am sorry. who is building houses? who is serving the food. >> reporter: only one voter supports texas senator ted cruz. >> he's so strong on the issue of religious liberty, pro life. >> reporter: duke has crossed cruz off his list because of his plan to deport illegal immigrants. >> it would not be centered today if you were honest with texas voters when he was running his campaign and told them that he wants to round them all up. if that's what his plan was, he never would have been elected. >> reporter: chris doubts cruz could get anything accomplished in washington as president. >> he's made his name by burning every single bridge in washington in terms of the senate and congress. he's the most disliked man in washington. >> reporter: and if in the end

donald trump is the nominee, this rubio supporter vows to skip the republican ticket. you say you will for the vote. absolutely not. why not? >> he's very thin skinned, very emotional. in terms of being a commander in chief, being the guy who has the trigger on the nuclear weapons, i would rather have hillary clinton have those judgment calls than donald trump, frankly. >> oh, my gosh. oh, wow. >> randi is joining me now from dallas. did you find anyone who would not vote for donald trump if he was the nominee? because they seemed to react very sharply to him. >> reporter: two voters in all told us they would absolutely not vote for donald trump if he was the republican nominee. another, besides the guy you saw at the end of the piece, is a young woman who believes donald trump is a con artist, as marco rubio said, she also worries that he could make a mockery of the united states so is considering a write-in candidate or staying home on election day. there was great support for

donald trump. one guy telling me not only is he voting for donald trump, but his dad who is a lifelong union member is also voting for donald trump. it's important to point out, we talked a lot about the immigration issue. for these voters, many issues are going into their decisions about who to vote for. jobs, religion, small government, which is what they are looking for, and freedom of religion, certainly. a lot of decisions here. >> randi, thank you very much. we'll be right back. ble. luckily, alka seltzer plus cold and cough liquid gels. rush liquid fast relief to your tough cold symptoms. fast, powerful liquid gels from alka seltzer plus so we know how to cover almost alanything.ything, even a stag pool party.

most people in the community recognize the blue trucks as pg&e. my truck is something new... it's an 811 truck. when you call 811, i come out to your house and i mark out our gas lines and our electric lines to make sure that you don't hit them when you're digging. 811 is a free service. i'm passionate about it because every time i go on the street i think about my own kids. they're the reason that i want to protect our community and our environment, and if me driving a that truck means that somebody gets to go home safer, then i'll drive it every day of the week. together, we're building a better california.
