spacey. right before that, i'll be moderating the debate from flint michigan. cnn with don lemon starts now. >> voters go to the poll in just a few hours and donald trump just keeps getting trumpier. >> millions and millions more are coming out and they're voting republican. i hate to say it. it not because of lying ted and it's not because of little marco. it because of trump, i hate to say. >> this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. the battle raging for the soul of the gop. mitt romney leading the war on trump but has this dealt a death blow to the party of lincoln? meanwhile, hillary clinton and bernie sanders preparing for the

debate in flint, michigan. plus this, bombshell evidence in the crime of the century. where has the knife been for more than 20 years since the murders of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman? there's a lot to get to tonight as more voters cast their ballots in primaries and caucuses this weekend. very timely, you got the debt of the day, right? >> well, mitt romney has a lot to say these days. >> it has been an incredible 24 hours in the republican political race here. first donald trump was attacked by mitt romney. then last night's debate hit a new low. parents don't want their children to watch. you sat down with the governor and asked him about donald trump and the voters. let's listen.

>> did party leaders looking back and yourself included misread their own voters in the republican base by betting on the fact that perhaps donald trump would simply implode of his own free will? >> oh, i don't know about other people. i certainly paid attention to donald trump. i didn't expect him to do so well. but he has tapped into an anger, which is very much understood. what he's done with that anger, however, is not to build it into resolve and high purpose, but instead to take it down a very dark alley and that i think is unfortunate. i don't think you can write off any candidate. i thought jeb bush would do better than he did. i liked jeb a lot. thought he would be able to gain momentum, that didn't happen. donald trump has and at this stage we say all right, he could easily become the nominee, probably most likely to become the nominee at this point. >> marco rubio in florida, ted

cruz in ohio. >> when are you going to choose one? >> it depends in part on how the process continues. i expect that after march 15th it may be clearer who is going to be the, if you will, the person who opposes donald trump most effectively. and so i would anticipate endorsing at that time. but let's say all three are doing about the same. >> then what? >> well, then i'd probably again encourage whoever is doing best in a particular state to get the support there and do that state by state and that would lead to an open convention where you'd see the delegates elected make the final decision. >> reporter: so this contested convention, is this a scenario that you're actively looking at? >> oh, i think it's a realistic scenario. a lot of people have thought that for some time. >> reporter: likely? likely? >> you know, i think it more likely than not that we will have a nominee before the convention that's donald trump. he has a much stronger shot of getting the 1,237 delegates than

not. but the debate last night was not good for donald trump. he showed that he cracks under pressure and i think that may begin to open the door for some people who are looking for a different path. >> wow. >> that's what mitt romney hopes, don, that people will look for a different path. but when i pressed him about whether he would allow his name to be put in nomination should there be this open convention, he said i don't even want to go there, i can't even talk about that, i don't want to go there. >> but, i mean, if he's out here and he's talking, i think if pressed enough, one never knows, right? >> well, i think romney understands that he's probably not the best standard bearer right now. he would like to see one of these three guys -- >> it's really, really late. >> and what a way to disenfranchise your voters.

by the way, those primaries, never mind. you came out in record numbers for donald trump and suddenly we're going to give you mitt romney or somebody new who hasn't been out there? i don't think so. >> there's lots of concern in military circles after donald trump's comments about torture in the military and carrying out his orders. i want you to listen to what mitt romney had to say and we'll talk about it. >> i mean, last night when he said he's not just for waterboarding, which is illegal, but he want to do more than waterboardi waterboarding, which is torture and he's going to tell the troops to do it and they're going to do it. the troops would be guilty of crimes and he would be guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. really? he's saying things that get people excited but are detached from reality. >> reporter: cnn said he is now going for a general election should he become the nominee start raising money. >> he has criticized his

opponents saying they're raising money from folks and he's self-funding. now we learn he's not really planning on self-funding. he's only been loaning money to his campaign, which he can get back if he's the general election nominee. it's a form of hypocrisy that people will find shocking. >> he's talking about war crimes in the first part of that, right? >> yes. and, as you know, donald trump retracted what he said today at the debate because everybody -- >> he said, "i do, however, understand that the united states is bound by laws and treaties and i will not order our military or other officials to violate those laws and will seek their advice on such matters. i will not order a military officer to disobey the law. it is clear that as president, i will be bound by laws just like all americans and i will meet those responsibilities." that's different for donald trump. >> what he said at the debate is

the military will do what i tell them to do. and there was an outpouring against this saying you cannot ask the military to break the law. they will not listen to you. everybody from military officers, people like mitt romney, cia officials and veterans say you can't -- you can't do that. >> i had jesse ventura on last night who said the same thing, this is a war crime. >> if you're running for office and at a certain point this outpouring comes out, you have to kind of take a look at what you said. nd i think that's what was discussed in the debate, which really was do you vet your ideas before you just put them out there? and that's what presidential candidates know that they've got to do. these things have to be thought through and this one, even trump admits in his own way, really wasn't. >> there's a lot of scrutiny on there. we did not call each other but great minds think alike. >> i know, i love your tie.

>> gloria borger, good to have you here. >> i want to turn now to tony perkins, president of the resource counsel. >> good evening. >> you support ted cruz. will he win in kansas, kentucky, maine or louisiana this weekend? >> well, we'll see tomorrow night about this time tomorrow night, the returns will be back in. he's doing very competitively in these states, my home state of louisiana, i've been campaigning for him tonight. we've got a big rally in south louisiana. it's a capacity crowd. i think he's going to do well. we look at the delegate counts, he doing quite well. he's less than 100 delegates behind donald trump and i think he is the best option if all this discussion about stopping donald trump, the best way is to rally around ted cruz. >> i must ask you about the debate last night. it was raucous and raw with talk of sexual prowess among other things. does senator ted cruz think this

is the best way to take on donald trump, to have a debate that hits such lows that people can't even watch with their own kids? >> that's a really good point but most of that was between marco rubio and donald trump. i agree with you. most of these debates at this point have lacked substance. last night it looked like people on the schoolyard elbowing and pushing and shoving, though i will say that ted cruz, he came forth with casting visions on foreign policy, on the economy domestically. he stood out. i am very concerned. if you were to take a snapshot of these republican debates and a what it says about america, it is disheartening. i think the republicans have to do better than donald trump and marco rubio sparring back and forth with name calling and, i mean, it just unacceptable. >> i'm sure you've heard this and you may have had the chance to listen to gloria borger's

interview with mitt romney, he encouraging the candidates to get as many delegates as he can in order to deny trump. does senator cruz agree with that? >> he's going taught to get as many delegates as he can. quite frankly, i think him coming out and attacking donald trump as he did, whether what he said or not is true and i think most of what he said is accurate or close to it, that actually helps donald trump because mitt romney is seen as part of the establishment. look, people are angry. they're frustrated, they're fearful of the future. donald trump is saying things that people can connect with. that's the reason you're seeing people turn out. they're frustrated with republicans who have overpromised and underperformed. the difference is ted cruz, we believe, is the solution to that problem. >> so ted cruz is now attacking trump largely on his record as

well and his temperament bushes w -- but why did it take so long? >> quite frankly, in my discussions with senator cruz, once i personally endorsed him, our discussion about casting a vision, to bring americans to that vision and lead them forward and not get involved in the name calling, the back and forth that really this campaign, this primary has become really at a low level. and he has for the most part stayed above that fray, which i'm very thankful for. there is clearly the room for and the need for to draw contrast between policies and, quite frankly, donald trump has not talked about policies at all. it's very shallow. he does not get very deep beyond the wall what he's going to do. i think it's very important that americans have an understanding of the policy prescriptions that these candidates are presenting. >> we know politics is a really

strange business, a strange profession. given all the terrible things that cruz and rubio and others in the party say did donald trump, how can they still say they're going to support him as a nominee? >> you know, it a great question. i mean, when all these things are said and done, i think the problem will be is that there will be a lot of conservatives, a lot of evangelicals in particular in the general election, if donald trump is the nominee, they won't vote for him. that's not speculation, don. that's based upon what happened in 2008 and 2012 -- >> he's getting a lot of support from evangelicals, though. >> there's two aspect to that. one is evangelicals are not that much different than the rest of society when it comes to what's happening in the world around us. many of them are being driven by fear, fear of what's happening in the world and frustration, as i mentioned earlier with the republicans. but the term evangelical, there's some elasticity to that term and it's being used more broadly than i think historically it has been used.

reuters broke it down and those who attend church on a weekly basis and are very serious about their faith in terms of it guiding their lives, those more than not either went for ted cruz or ben carson in these elections up to this point. the good news is we're seeing more people turn out and participate in the process. >> i've got to go. tony perkins, family research couns council. >> good to see you, thanks. >> sunday night beginning at 8:00 eastern. up next on this broadcast, with all the insults and the name calling, did we learn anything at last night's gop debate? and did trump's opponents weaken him at all? plus, what can be a bombshell in the crime of the century?

voters in five states casting ballots on super saturday. tonight former republican candidate mike huckabee calling on the remaining gop candidates

to clean up their act. he and a lot of others blasting the nasty tone of the race. joining me is nicholas kristof, columnist for the "new york times," bob cusack, editor in chief of "thehill.com." >> watch this. >> we are not going to turn over the conservative movement or the party of lincoln or reagan, for example, whose position is not conservative. >> this little guy has lied so much about my record. >> here we go. >> people in florida can't stand him. he couldn't get elected dog catcher. >> if we nominate donald, we're going to spend the fall and the summer with the republican nominee facing a fraud trial. >> oh, stop it. it's a minor case. >> request did you give my campaign $100,000? >> it's a minor civil case.

>> lying ted. >> breathe, breathe. can you do it. i know it's hard. >> when they're done with the yoga, can i answer a question? >> you cannot. >> people say everywhere i go, you seem to be an adult on the stage. >> look at those hands, are they small hands. and he referred to my hands, if they're small, something else must be small, i guarantee you there's no problem. i guarantee you. >> you said your friends found it uncomfortable and awkward to watch with some of their kids sp. >> yeah. >> is this the kind of gop that they want? >> i think some of the electorate likes it. because john kasich is playing the nice guy and he's not doing very well. the republican brand, they're losing some of what they have now and they've been hurting in

recent years because of this. it was basically an r rated republican debate. remember all the talk, this is the party of family values. >> that's where i think donald trump is going to pivot. after super tuesday, he had a presidential type of contest. >> his wife interestingly said to him beforehand, can you be more presidential like you were the other night. carl, is it fair to call last night a bit of a pissing match? >> that's a good description but i think there's something deeper. in december i said to you that trump was a crypto fascist. you looked at me and i think now we have seen the underlying seriousness of an almost fascist message of a major republican campaign in trump's campaign and we need to go back to that and why is that appealing to so many americans? this might be a teachable moment because if the republican party

gives itself over to trump and his nationalistic, authoritarian message, we have gone somewhere in american politics where we have never been. we stopped fascism in world war ii and we are hearing a lot of that kind of message that is underneath what this campaign is all about and it's astonishing to think that at a republican convention, that message could prevail. >> so then what's happening to the party of lincoln? >> that's exactly right. what is happening to the party of lincoln? partly it became the party of the southern strategy of richard nixon, that the democrats historically had been the party of segregation until the civil rights movement, it had been the democratic southern oligarchs who had pursued and perpetuated segregation in the south until the administration of jack kennedy and lyndon johnson and then as a tactics in the nixon administration, it was decided

that the future of the republican party was partly about getting the votes of disaffected white southerners, and it has succeeded to a remarkable extent, that's not to say that many or all or most republicans are bigots or anything of the kind, but it has helped the republican party immeasurably and now it is time for the party, particularly after the kkk comments of donald trump and it not just about disavowel, trump has never said these people have no place in our politics and i condemn everything about what they believe and those who follow them. and he hasn't said it. so there is an onus on the republican party to go into that convention and say this is not us. >> but republican establishment had been calling him out on that particular message when it comes to the kkk. nick, despite all the antics, all the candidates faced tough questions last night. i want to play another moment from the gop debate last night

where trump was asked about his changing views. watch this. >> mr. trump, one of the things that people love about you is they believe you tell it like it is. but time and time again in this campaign, you have actually told the voters one thing only to reverse yourself within weeks and even sometimes days. we've tee'd up just three examples in a videotape similar to those we used with senator rubio and senator cruz in the last debate. the first is on whether the war in afghanistan was a mistake. watch. >> what about in afghanistan? >> do you believe that american boots should stay on the ground in afghanistan to stabilize the situation? >> we made a terrible mistake getting involved there in the first place. that thing will collapse about 2 seconds after they leave, just as i said that iraq was going to collapse after they leave. >> about afghanistan you said we made a terrible mistake getting involved getting there in the first place. >> we made a mistake going into iraq. >> our question was about afghanistan. i never said that.

okay, wouldn't matter. i never said it. >> and there are many other examples. so how is any of this telling it like it is? >> i think you have to stay in afghanistan with the fact that you're right next to pakistan where they have nuclear weapons and we have to protect that. >> is trump a weaker candidate today than he was yesterday? >> it's been astonishing how much he has been able to survive this. over and over it's been shown he's the most mendacious candidate in modern time. politico found all of the contenders were different statements by trump. i do think fox news, frankly, gets some credit for trying to truth squald all of the

candidates. the attacks of the candidates also drew some blood. i doubt in it drew enough to really have a major impact. and you don't see a major decline in the betting markets in trump's likelihood -- >> stay with me, everyone. when we come right back, have we forgotten how to have a debate that really matters? and can the gop survive all of this?

so if you think presidential debates have gone downhill this election season, you may not realize how tense things were in the very first tv debate. look at the moments before 19670s kennedy/nixon debate from our new series "race for the white house." >> kennedy did not present himself until he was fully ready. he wasn't going to stand around with richard nixon and chat before the main event, he was going to come in like a prize fighter he was. >> nixon made every mistake you could think of in that debate. >> look at the faces of the two candidates in this debate and ask yourself who is presidential and who is scared.

>> the contrast is dramatic. >> doesn't sound so different from what we saw last night. carl, political drama clearly nothing new to presidential races. what do you remember about the kennedy/nixon debates? >> watching them. thinking at the time that issues were being overwhelmed by considerations of appearance. and that's what we see in this remarkable documentary that cnn is broadcasting. and we see the continuation to some, te extent in the debates e having now. we're having great difficulty looking at the deep substantive questions and so much has to do with appearance and manner, as opposed to deep beliefs and policy questions. >> nick, in that clip they pose

a question, who came off as more presidential? who do you think came off as the most presidential last night? >> i'd say john kasich, frankly. in the 1960s, those who listened to the president debate thought nixon won. those who watched thought kennedy had won. but, you know, i think i disagree with carl a little bit. it sure does seem to me a lot has changed since that debate. that was dechorus in the discussions in the latest one about genital size truly was not. the latest one was about kindergarteners fighting. we didn't learn about policy or any deep analysis of anything. it was like watching a football scrimmage more than watching a presidential debate. >> bob cusack, we're hearing

about trying to create a contested convention to stop trump. do you think thaps goit's going work? >> i think it would be very difficult because if you look at the map, things have to change dramatically. donald trump has been winning for seven months. we don't get to a brokered convention unless some of these guys start winning a lot of states. based upon the polls this weekend, i don't see it. i don't think the debate changed much. >> nick, the campaigns aren't buying this strategy. ted cruz is in second place and still has plenty of money to keep going. isn't this all wishful thinking by the establishment? and they're playing with fire, aren't they? >> well, i mean, i think they're desperate. i think that they are just aghast at the idea of trump as the nominee. not only what he would do to the country, but what he would do to the party. you've seen more than a hundred

foreign affairs experts from the republican party writing an open letter saying they will not support trump. they're aghast at this idea. i talked to friends who are so against hillary, so determined to see her defeated and yet just can't stomach the idea of trump as president. i think they're frankly trying to doing nfrg they can in the hopes to reach a different outcome but i think it's probably tu to an late. >> in the case of a contested convention, you say it's not out of the question to see a rubio/kasich ticket? why is that? >> that might be an appealing way to solve this. it could be an outsider if they could get past the rules and agree on somebody like paul ryan, for instance, it a real long shot but ryan would be a hell of an effective candidate. i know it being talked about

among some republicans, but the odd of bringing it about are really deep and long. >> i want to look ahead to sunday for all of you to take a look at this. cnn is hosting a democratic debate in flint, michigan. the gop candidates were asked about flint's water crisis last night. here's part of marco rubio's answer. >> the politicizing of it i think is unfair because i don't think someone woke up one morning and said let's figure out how to poison the water system to hurt someone, but account. >> is important. i give the governor krd itnd he's took about. >> it's not politicizing to say what's happening with the poisoned water in flint is an emergency. what's your take on that? >> i think democrats have been more active on this issue, whether it's been on capitol hill or actually going to flint,

michigan. hillary clinton has gone self times, bernie sanders has been there. and democrats are putting out press releases saying why didn't they talk. >> yes, thank you. i appreciate you joining me on this friday night. super saturday coming up.

gentlemen, good to have you on. i never would have thought in a million years we would being talking about this all these years later. so, lawrence, to you first. you have followed the o.j. simpson trial closely. today los angeles police say investigators are examining this knife reportedly found years ago on the property that o.j. simpson was living when he and his ex-wife nicole simpson and ron goldman were killed in 1994. what could be learned from this knife all these years later? >> first of all, i hope this is the murder weapon because if it is, it will answer a lot of questio questions. we know based on the pathology, the wounds on the vick from him, the knife had to have a single sharp edge and that it is

serrated. weep know we know a little bit about that knife. they'll have to document it, make measurements and they will then proceed to do presumptive testing to see if blood is present. >> could blood be present all these years later? could you find dna all these years later? >> it could. dna is a very -- >> even if people have handled it? >> that's not the issue. the issue is that it could have been adjacent for soil. and for four years soil contains a component that contains dna. it's quite possible that the blood was there, the dna was there but it's gone. >> so, jim, a construction worker, let's tell the story. a construction worker reportedly found the knife on the property several years ago and gave it to

an off duty lapd officer, who is now retired. he kept the knife for several years before turning it over to investigators. what can you tell us about that? >> the house was torn down in 1998, sold to a new owner. the address was changed. that's why the house was dorn apart. that would give rise to looking for something. the construction workers were told -- saw an off duty lapd au officer, who was working on a movie shoot in the area. and the officer kept it for 18 years. that is one of the most startling revelations to me. one, could be the knife they've never been able to find? and, two, this is potentially evidence and it was never turned over. and when you talk about a case where everybody was looking at how the lapd collected and

handled and tested evidence and then you have potential evidence that's just kept as a momento of gruesome crime. >> i want ever to pay attention, especially you, judge alex. >>, this story as being told you'd know that any time you come into contact with evidence that you should and shall submit that to investigators. i don't know what the circumstances are, why that didn't happen or if that's entirely accurate or if this whole story is possibly bogus from the get go involving a variety of people. so we're looking into that but i was quite shocked. >> judge alex, talk to me about

this officer's conduct. if this is verified, could he be charged with a crime? ia, i think he could be charged with a crime. this is still an open investigation. o.j. simpson was acquitted. technically the investigation is still open. regardless whether it is the knife or isn't the knife, the fact that the officer thought it was and was looking to frame it and put the serial number of the o.j. simpson case on the frame, clearly he thought it was evidence, is what is outrageous to me, that the officer knew he had evidence that could lead -- i think most persons believe that o.j. simpson was the murderer but that hasn't been proven in any way, shape or for. that knife could prove who the actual murderer is. it's described as a buck knife folding knife, which could in the nooks and crannies contain

dna. the fact that the officer thought he was holding evidence to a crime and decided to keep it, under california law he could be charged with concealing evidence, absolutely. >> so even if it's not the knife, you still think he could be charged because of the possibility that it could have been the knife? no, i think if it's not the knife, it's not evidence of a crime and he can't be charged. but it speaks to his character. it's unfortunately, another dark mark on the record of the lapd. i expect lapd scoured that property. i think they probably scoured that was left behind pi the gart gardeners genuine, what could it mean to o.j. simpson and the murder case that's still over over 20 years. make a dep--

tremendous racial divide. it had nothing to do with education or if you it just was an incredible, chaotic situation. amazing. >> there are still, you nope, he mentioned -- there are still people out there, judge alex, who believe that o.j. simpson did not commit that, though more african-americans believe he did now than when it actually happened, when the. >> i don't think want o believe that oej d.j. did it. let's taste it, he was a likable guy. who can forget the whole bronco chase. i mean, it was incredible

experience to be watching it live on television. remember, this trial came right after the rodney king acquittal. so if the -- following that injustice, there was the formula for the racial divide. it was a perfect storm for it. but regardless of whether this knife is he could confess to the murder tomorrow and nobody could do a single about about it p. it would just be for peace mind or to point in a different direction. >> jim, what if this knife -- what if it implicates someone else? >> oej always said someone else did it. i talked to tom lange, the lead dkt in this case. he's never seen a case where there's to exculpatory evidence. he said everything pointed toward one suspect, o.j.

simpson. look, i think if you had videotape of o.j. simpson committing this crime, there would still be people who would say he was set up. >> there was dna evidence. and they still lost with dna. >> i know, i know. i know. it really caused -- when you talk about a difficult. >> they never found -- when i talk about these conspiracy theorists, the people who say o.j. simpson was set up, that was done by possibly a hit by the mafia. if you're going to almost sever

the person who did this was right-handed. o.j. simpson was right-handed. severing the throat that would cut the carotids and there would be a great deal of blood. the head have very cass cuellva. he may not have gotten a tremendous amount of blood on his clothing but we'll never know. he did track blood into the vehicle, though. the vehicles. >> i got to go but just from a show of hands, did everyone who remembered exactly where they were in wh this started, show of hands when you saw this information today. i know i did. i was like this is way too weird. i feel like it's 1994 all over
