tomorrow based on their meeting today. don't forget 7:00 p.m. tonight, special report, a supertuesday 2.0. our gang including neil cavuto. we saw connell mcshane in florida pretending to cover the race in florida but he had shorts and flip-flops on. neil: he did and he does, i have no doubt. if you could work a little harder, carry your weight around here, young man. great job, great job. we have a lot going on. we went into today with 367 republican delegates did say what its title you nine of them have been awarded an island, they all went, nine delegates to donald trump, we're down to 358 delegates to be decided. it seems weird to me that the location furthest from the continental united states, 15 of these islands in the pacific,

they come in before we get anything from them. i don't know. i am easily entertained. could be a very long day. donald trump is now standing at 469 delegates. ted cruz at 370, marco rubio at 163, do or die for him today and john kasich in ohio, 66 delegates at stake in that winner-take-all state which would morgan double what he has now if he wins it. connell mcshane in miami where everyone is focusing on that state, 99 delegates go for him. well, why oh, well. what is going on? hello? hello? >> i lobbied the assignment desk hard to be sent to the north

mary on islands, this could be second best in miami. neil: they do have ties in florida. connell: that is how long a day is going to be, it is all tied up. you want to talk about the race at all? neil: even the crew are wearing suits. it is of little discombobulated. neil: i know better than to believe that. the race in florida is interesting teresa is, florida politics, everyone , florida politics, everyoeveryone is tal. they think they did very well before today here in miami dade county. the rubio strongholds, in west miami they think they did well,

early voting might benefit them. the wall street journal put numbers together, 67 counties in florida, 27 voted earlier a higher rate than past elections. many counties will go in strong fashion for donald trump. the trump campaign, the entire west coast of florida, central florida and the northern part of the state in places they think they will do well. and anything helping from, early voters are described as infrequent voters. maybe they haven't voted in the past but we know from the past those are groups trump did well in. could be a replay, saturday night covering liana, that huge her the lead, ted cruz almost caught him late in the night but he has a future of the lead in florida thanks to early voters. neil: got to remember when marco rubio talks to anyone in the

press, very confident to pull this out, thinks it could be another michigan, sanders winning the state, other polls have got that wrong in second, third or fourth place finish in this primary season, that would be a huge leap to reverse what are double digit gaps. connell: gigantic. what is different about florida, it is not impossible, they maintained public polling is wrong, it is a closer race, yesterday he said it is not 20 points but there is a lot of data almost every day and new poll comes out and every poll shows donald trump in the league, despite a question of how much is he leading by, many of 20 points. it would be huge if marco rubio could pull that out but he maintains he can, he thinks he is closer than what public polls show. neil: i know you are pulling. you are burning on the side. might need a little more

emotion. there we go. going to rely on him tonight for a late breaking florida developments. i have my worries, no worries about the guy who runs the state of florida. every candidate covered his endorsement, getting his backing, has a way of doing that, florida governor rick scott with us now. good to have you. >> in florida all day, an exciting day comes down to florida in every presidential election. neil: you have decided not to back any one. >> in 2010 i was the business person, the outsider, republican establishment kept telling me get out of the race, they have their candidate, i trusted the voters, we won the election, turned our state around. i think it will come down to who is the best for jobs. neil: why didn't you support any

one? they came to you, you opted not to. >> i want to rely on the voters, the voters are start and will make a decision. i don't like the establishment telling me to get out of the reason 2010. i don't like could telling me who to vote for. neil: will issue support someone? >> we will see. i will not do anything before tonight and i will make a decision after that but i will support the republican nominee. we can't have four more years of barack obama. we turned our state around but the federal government has always so painful to deal with. neil: your attorney general pam bondi has supported donald trump, many others have. more getting on the wagon that he will be the nominee. are you thinking that is the case? >> he got the delegate lead. we are watching the races.

all these races are interesting but my responsibility is to make sure we have a fair election. i talked to the secretary of state, we don't have any incidents of fraud or irregularities. important thing today is make sure we don't have any issue is the neil: what has always come up in florida, say marco rubio is not able to win and polls will prohibitive this morning, he still wants to soldier on and continue. others said, might behind the governor's office a couple years from now. what do you think of that? >> this is a great job. i love being governor. i love talking to people, i was in six cities yesterday where i did rallies about the budget, we cut $1 billion in taxes over two years. million jobs in five years. neil: marco rubio might be eyeing your job. >> a lot of people will run for this job.

marco rubio has done a very good job, a very good partner, we got elected together in 2010. he has been helpful with regard to the federal government. the presidential race, we will see what he does if that doesn't work out. neil: many have looked to you that may be sniffing around presidential waters. is that true? >> i got two more years of this. i am working on making sure the state is number one for jobs and public safety. every day i will worry about the future down the road. neil: your success as governor, you turned things around, a businessman coming in to political office can do a lot of good. how would you assuage those who are leery of donald trump, another businessman, in a different field, in health care and real-estate, a lay them of their concern that a business guy can't run a stage or for

that matter a nation? >> i look at it like i had specific goals. i put out a goal when i ran, 700,000 jobs through seven steps and worked in everyday. a lot of people say business and government are not the same. they are the same if you are very focused, good business people are very focused and good elected individuals are focused on what they ran on. that is why i said 700,000 jobs at 1 million, but i went through piece by piece to speaks the state agency by agency and that is what i did believe we elected a business person we will see what they do. neil: marco rubio says he is going to keep fighting on even if he loses the state. would you advise him if you lose the state, that is it, it is over, don't throw this out? >> it is the decision for senator rubio, he believes he has a message good for this country. it is up to him to figure out

what to do with his future. neil: that is a non answer, i think. >> move to florida, do your shows in florida. we love everyone coming to florida. neil: is a beautiful state. thank you, we will see what happens later tonight. we keep an update on belgium, try to corner terrorists behind the terror attacks in paris last year. we don't know how close they are, we know there was a shootout and some injuries, presumably as you but get a live shot of belgium among those behind those attacks, we know that more than that, we will keep you posted and back to the united states, the delegates the progress for both parties. this is all about slowing momentum for the leaders. no one is going to overtake him tonight but they all hope in both parties to slow the people who are out front. the microsoft cloud allows us to

t-i-a-a.

neil: none of the candidates who are the leaders of the pack have any chance of closing in dramatically. undemocratic side bernie sanders hopes to close the gap little bit. on the republicans side all the other candidates are miles behind or so it would seem. donald trump is best positioned to close the gap or stay competitive is ted cruz but it is all about stalling momentum for donald trump to avoid getting the 1,237 delegates he will need to be crowned the republican party nominee for hillary clinton who is on her way, more than half the delegates going into the day to be the democratic nominee. one thing you hear on the republican side is if they could

succeed, stopping donald trump with just a simple wind, ohio or florida, or canceling out neither ohio and north florida, game changer, but at best it seems to me it looks like maybe he could pick up florida, ohio might be dicey, so at that is the best his enemies can hope for. >> ohio is a struggle but he has a chance of winning, john kasich may be only one potential we. at this point if he loses florida and ohio we look at ted cruz is closing the gap, ted cruz has a bizarre night tonight in terms of his map. if donald trump loses those, his delegate count is held down and that is good for ted cruz, but guys like marco rubio and john kasich in the race and that

hurts ted cruz because the map going forward does not become more favorable to the conservative candidate. it will go to these purple states that ultimately break for a guy like donald trump or marco rubio at isn't ted cruz. y is superbazaar and worth watching, donald trump winning will help him barrel towards that number, the percentage chance of him getting that if he wins one of those states is very high. neil: the other issue for ted cruz is a series of second place finishes. by my math he would see that gap widened against donald trump but i guess his hope is if he can shake the others, one or both of them out of the race, he will do better one on one than they would versus donald trump and pick up delegates that way. that almost seems like that hail mary pass. >> second place is less and less

important, calorie free at this point because so many states are winner-take-all. ease the be -- don't know why they call it supertuesday tweet or whatever. but it is true all these states are going to be take all tuesdays or many of them because if you win the state you win and you get all the delegates in second place won't be good enough for anybody skier. at this point for a guy like marco rubio this is a trick shot from the upper deck of the stadium and she has a strong wind in this direction. this is not possible at all. they want a contested convention and you have been predicting this for ten years but a contested convention is what we will get if donald trump can't get 1237 and that is -- neil: what is wealth 85, 1236? do they hate him so much they would do everything in their power to stop that or is it a matter of the gap between heat or whoever, ted cruz is in

second. >> tonight will be a test of whether this anti trump coalition like mitt romney has been saying, vote for the guy who is not from and will be a test to see if that is a real movement and if he is at 1235 at the convention i don't see how the republican party is doing anything bad engine during a real civil war that is going to put the future of their party in peril. neil: on the first ballot won't that the wrong? >> of course a you alienate the millions of voters who decided to cast their vote for donald trump and the republican party could be left in a shambles as you see a republican party that splits in favor of hillary clinton becoming president of the united states. that seems like that real big risk. neil: anything could happen. always a pleasure, thank you very much. you are not imagining it, donald trump. point nine delegates overnight. picking up the northern islands, there were no let for votes

there. this is where time for theme. 9 delegates up for grabs in the pacific. when it comes to the general election they don't matter anymore. more after this.

neil: and interesting, fun night, picking up at 7:00 p.m. all and this at a time when hillary clinton doesn't need more bad press given comments she made about coal miners will all be out of jobs and she looks forward to it and that was not what she meant, then along come

comments about libya. suffice it to say it got a little deeper and more worrisome. peter barnes with the latest. >> hillary clinton is being called out for comments about libya at town hall meeting on an as nbc when comparing it to the war in iraq. >> libya was a different kind of calculation and we didn't lose a single person, we didn't have a problem in supporting our european and arab allies in working with n >> the u.s. lost its ambassador christopher stephens in libya with three other americans in benghazi, no comment or clarification from the clinton campaign on her comments last night on this but one of her supporters on fox news said she was referring to the u.s.-led nato campaign to remove gaddafi specifically and of course she knows about the loss of american lives in benghazi but the

campaign interesting lee was quick to correct this other comment on coal from clinton at the town hall meeting sunday night. >> we are going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business, right? and we are going to make it clear that we don't want to forget those people. those people labored in those mines regeneration this, losing their health, often you losing their lives, to turn on our lights and power, our factories now we have to move away from coal and all the other fossil fuels. >> with many workers in crucial primary states like ohio and illinois relying on cold jobs clinton's campaign put out a statement very quickly stressing that, quote, coal will remain a part of our energy mix for years to come, the clinton's plan would safeguard workers retirement and health benefits. neil: that is going to play again and again in those states.

you know things are bad when a liberal website like salon is saying hillary clinton could be in a heap of trouble if it is donald trump she's going against because far from the consensus view that they could walk all over donald trump, he is galvanizing a lot of independent voters and even democrats, remember the 20,000 his switched sides to vote for an open primary for him in that state? that says something, when liberal sites are saying something about donald trump not being such a pushover. >> clinton's cold comments the to the heart of this, the larger democratic move away from or some might say abandonment of the white working class as a key voting constituency. we have seen democrats increasingly focus on the rising american electorate and that is young people, single women and minorities which may build a strong coalition but you are leaving a voting bloc that is turning out to be very potent and very large, completely out of the equation.

trump appeals to those voters in large numbers. sanders also to a pretty large extent so if those people decide to cross over, talking about rust belt democrats, reagan democrats they used to be called, that could cause a serious problem for clinton. neil: it reminds me of 1980 where the jimmy carter folks i mentioned on this show before were hoping it would be ronald reagan because polls showed they woods want it. they were up by 20 points. a laughable opponent, trees cause more pollution than cars and thought they would stumble over and we know in retrospect what happened. i am beginning to wonder whether democrats are similarly cocky today. >> you can see them ramping up their operation especially in latino communities. the last couple weeks. the question for donald trump is going to be can he court enough

of that white working-class votes to offset what a lot of people expect are going to be big losses among racial minorities, among women and other -- other key voting blocs. that remains to be seen, certainly donald trump is turning out a lot more people than anyone expected to turn out in these primary contests. is possible but it will be an uphill climb. neil: thank you, we have a good idea of that. a lot of polls were particularly closing in illinois and john north carolina and ohio. states where hillary clinton leads in the polls, have been narrowing considerably. the same phenomenon although we didn't appreciate the magnitude of it that is going on in michigan a couple weeks back when hillary clinton was up by double digits but there was evidence of a late break out for bernie sanders, ultimately resulted in him winning michigan. for hard to say if that happens again but we are watching it. a lot of talk back and forth

what happens if donald trump rallies, he in sides of violence that happens but when hillary clinton targets him, how do you think he responds? let's just say, quickly. this just got interesting. why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas for pulmonary hypertension, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache.

>> disrupting. having said that, candidates, they have an obligation to do what they can do. try and provide an atmosphere to reduce the violence. the best ideas. >> it is our commitment. you may have noticed the speaker kind of had it all ways they are. also going after donald trump for a tone. though former special assistant. i think that that is called walking a tight wire. >> i do think that it is called walking a tight wire. he recognizes the head of house

of representatives on one hand. it is a prominent national republican on the other. he wants to speak out. at the same time, he also represents an institution. if it were donald trump, a lot of those guys up on the hill, i think, you know, paul ryan. haven't they aren't you lost? >> it will be very interesting, neil. they could very well use the senate. a very bad effect down ticket.

not only do they not want to be seen with them, they don't want to get the nomination at any cost. neil: the prime minister meeting with the president ahead of st. patrick's day. >> shamrocks. the president's remarks on what have been going on. the divisive rhetoric. it is offensive. the first time you said that. with that kind of help donald trump? >> i think that it does. we should bring a gun. the same gentleman that said

talk to your friend and talk to your neighbors and get in their face. people going there to interrupt and agitate at events. >> that is kind of what you would expect as a leader of the opposition party. i want you to react to this. >> when you are in siding mob violence which is what trump is doing in the clips, there are a lot of memories that they have. they are in the dna. people remember violence to people being shot. >> you owned a plantation.

i think that my relatives could tell her a little bit more the race. that is just despicable. neil: remembering my history correctly. it may be 68 on the democratic party. >> the same one that brought jim crow. maybe hillary clinton mocked ought to look in the meter. which one is trying to impress blacks. >> ron christie. >> always, neil. neil: let's go to jeff flock.

i want you to notice how he is dressed. contrast that with connell mcshane. he was here earlier. he had some flip-flops on. a professional through and through. >> we take things seriously here in ohio. perhaps, you know that you should. this is the one regardless of the crazy town there in florida. could be in the balance here in ohio. partly because the governor of the state is running. you know, they have really come out. a lot of people. this could be a whole new life for his campaign. important to note, up for grabs

today, in ohio, winner take all, 66 delegates, bigger obviously. those are all the winner take all. doubling his delegate total. which he would still be very far behind on even if you want all the delegates from now until the end of the nominating process. he has had some things to say about donald trump. both of them have come back and forth. he will have more to say about donald trump going forward after today. listen to how that came out. >> teasing that you will save more on this. >> is it a strategic decision to

do that? >> we do not do a lot of strategic bangs. >> the hint has been started. running this positive campaign. in the last few days, he has had things to say about trump rallies, the spirit of negativity. he is hinting that he will have more to say about that going forward. does he endorse someone else? i do not know. he says he will drop out if he loses his home state. >> are you hearing that the appearance of mitt romney yesterday helped him, hurt him? looked more like an establishment guy? >> more of what we heard on the ground here is that it did not do anything to help. he has the endorsement in every

living present or former ohio state football coach. i think that that helps more. >> thank you and thank you for wearing a tie. appreciate it. connell mcshane. he is going to kill me. this is all about donald trump. i was just pressing these numbers. 61% of the remaining delegates. getting to 1237. 92%. 1174 of the remaining delegates. donald trump. therein lies a hercules task for anyone. donald trump.

he 15 we were telling you earlier how many delegates closed the deal. donald trump made about 56% of the remaining. ted cruz is not that far behind. he needs 68% of the delegates. about 100 behind what you need to get to close the deal. separated by about 100 right

now. so. what to make of that. ted cruz. congressmen certainly hope so. the republican from arizona with me right now. do you think that he can do that? well, i think that he can. the truth is, not really a political battle. if no one goes into the convention, i think that there is a very good chance to get the disapproval. >> if it looks that donald trump, he did not have the 1237. he had hundreds of delegates behind them. the trump people say, trying to rob him.

would not go down well. what do you think of that? >> i think that it is a very important point. but to think that i've caused that are barack obama's leadership and the perspective that we are not doing enough to stop barack obama undermining the country. it has made it to where we have this. yes, that is why it is important that everything be done in a position that is important to the rules. it has to be strictly according to the rules. i am concerned about that. mr. trump is a product of the rage of the republican base. it robs us of reason.

his background, his history, his record, anything but conservative. he spent 20 years trying to buy every politician he ever came into contact with. i do not know how you do that. i am very concerned for our country if we nominate him. if we see a hillary clinton as president, it brings destruction. >> would you support donald trump if he ends up being the guy? if it comes down between hillary clinton and donald trump, i can definitely trust mrs. clinton to do the wrong thing, so i would vote for mister trump. >> on the one hand, you see the constitution destroyed. finished under hillary clinton.

maybe trump would do some good things. i don't know. it is vital for this party and the future of this country that we now turn all of our focus on ted cruz and help him to become president of the united states. he does have a record that reflects his words. neil: with him long before he was marching up those polls. we have oil down and we have stocks down. the fact that oil is down to the degree it is, stocks will be down a lot more. yesterday it was down a lot. would we be coupling here? and if we are, what does that say? ♪

more people buy them because they are worried. you have to see the default swaps. the question is, if they european's, that sort of foreshadows the crisis. a recession. everybody says yes. this election could be played out in the middle of some typical economic times. september, october, oh eight. and then it went boom for mr. mccain. i loved the people. >> i love suntan lotion. i love suntan lotion. no fighting. i will pay for your legal bills. [laughter] >> this european bank situation.

other things to talk about. you are always saying, you know, just because we got over the fiscal crisis, it does not mean that it is behind us. we could revisit it. it could happen again. >> i actually do worry about that. a pretty good job in the financial system. much better shape than they were. they have some real weaknesses. the overall paying for the economic growth. further down the road, you know, our government does not look in very good shape. they are still some real weaknesses out there. >> saying that this does not happen again.

they take it to a different id. i do not want to scare people like that. talking about european banks. not as strong as they were. stronger, certainly, and they were seven or eight years ago. they were vulnerable. if i remember correctly, we were in the middle of a massive selloff. compounded the problems and capital available. here, there, everywhere. making all estimations move. would you buy that? >> need to be concerned about the basic structure of our regulatory system. it should be, shareholders capital.

good incentives. the reality is, you do not ever know. we could not figure out exactly what tipped us off the last time. having a good system of capital behind the financial sector, a pair of decent regulations, that is what you have to do. you have people with income in their pocket. people that will not panic. >> that is a great common denominator. i was just doing my best william shatner demonstration. thank you very, very much. all right. incredible story on donald trump. you could question whether he is as much of a billionaire. finding by far the least. can we keep doing that? after this. ♪ find fantasy shows.

[laughter] it has been remarkable for a number of different reasons.

we know donald trump is leading in all of these polls. the public polling is getting it wrong. what nobody is getting wrong is the amount of money that is being spent. looking at the amount of money that is being spent. 55,000,004 rubio. that is fine. kasich 14. $10 million. we flip that around. earned media. this may be more common. look at how much more donald trump has been able to quote on quote earned. >> what we mean by this is every time we see trump appear, and interview or maybe we are taking one of the rallies live, that is earned media. meaning they do not have to pay for it. it is free media. trump has been earning so much

of that. that firm, the data that puts it together. i talked to trump's campaign chairman. he also made one other point. the narrative around donald trump. their campaign has been very effective on the ground here. many times in the fall. back in october. then let the campaign did. the information from those people that attended the rally. turning many of them into volunteers. that made for a strong round game. standing to do very well. they all win big here. that median number is remarkable. >> that is remarkable. talking to jeff flock. he was in a polling place. i noticed you are not in a polling place. you are nowhere near a polling

place. >> you are pricing the odds. >> that is part of what i am saying. [laughter] >> let me tell you. you are so wrong about that. at the miami city hall. take my word for it. we are not allowed to go any closer than that. the laws that they have here in the state of florida are limited on what i can do. neil: it must not occur to you at all. [laughter] >> i do not want to get you in any kind of trouble. >> the ss i miss is right behind them there. >> a number of top officials in the state of florida. they are bypassing endorsing anyone. governor rick scott earlier is not keen on doing this right

now. i believe, you, too, not committing any candidate at this point. why? >> it takes a wild to get off the grid and get over the bush campaign. i think that the writing is on the wall. we want to make sure that we support the candidate that can best support our chances of keeping donald trump. eventually winning the nomination. three remaining candidates, supporting the one that seems at the appropriate time to be the one. that all depends on the election results. >> going into that. the other three stay in this race. denying that number he will need to be the nominee. >> here is how it works. it is more complicated than that, i think. he should drop out.

if kasich wins ohio, he should stay in. the next date that come up are mostly the northeast. you are better off stopping him they are and with cruz.get to t. you get west of the border states with canada. i would say, if that goes according to plan and kasich wins ohio and trump wins florida, the best place would be a three person staying in the race. maybe kay said shopping out northeast if he does not do well there. frankly, for his sake, if he wants to be the nominee of the party, he is better off. >> the math would favor that. sharing that. he says otherwise. doing very well.

at the end of that, being the nominee, could you support him? >> i am a party faithful for 14 years. we keep majorities in the house and senate. donald trump is willing to walk back some of the things he is saying and doing. if he starts talking about reasonable people helping the government, yes, maybe. >> a very long list. some of the people running for president. quite a few others. neil: marco rubio on the list. >> i can. i can. that would be progress. mitt romney. i do not think that romney would do that. i have a long list of people

doing a great job. >> well, the answer is not what you are hearing. donald trump becomes a better candidate in terms of uniting the country, yes. the answer is no. i just will not support him. i concentrate on keeping the senate. >> if you do not support him, who would you support? would you sit out the election? >> i would go to vote. i would not vote for hillary clinton. >> who would you vote for? >> we would have a republican nominee. i may do that in the presidential race. we will see. we will see. florida's key to winning this election in november, donald trump looks like the only one

that can win it. that is a heck of an argument that he can make. >> thank you very much for taking the time. i appreciate it. >> just to let you know, if donald trump or to pick up florida, not only is he a long way towards getting the 768 remaining delegates, he would be down to 600. he would need only about 42% of the remaining delegates to become a nominee. you can understand why he is spending so much time. more after this. ♪

communism. you want to stay in some of these hotels. especially with some of the powers that they can have. it just does not make sense that we would want to lose our privacy and get into a communist country. neil: i can see michael block. he checked out of there and now goes to another. what about you? >> i am not really worried about hotels from the national security standpoint. as for u.s. consumers, they are not too far apart. the reason i see it as a worrying trend is here is the

problem. they are hemorrhaging out at a record rate. that currency has to devalue. they know what is going down. chinese backed entities are around the world. call it what you will. what worries me is the global economy standpoint. desperate to get money out of china. they are doing it by buying assets. anywhere but china. that currency will be devalued. that will cause all sorts of problems. >> the superpower, the economic superpower. japan in the late '80s doing the same thing. >> japan did that. yes, i am concerned. a good point that was just made. the money is trying to lead china. trying to capture assets around the world.

they do manipulate their currencies. there is potential that they will continue to manipulate their currency. this potential government entity could be dangerous for us globally. >> pounding that again and again. essentially what he is saying. i will not let him do that. >> we are all going along for the ride, unfortunately. using money supply. creating these reserves. do not make the currency go down. they can help save the chinese economies. even china sees that. they are getting the money out and buying other assets. i am not in favor of it. i am not in favor of anything that has a restraint to free trade. i do not see it as a security

issue. the u.s. will rule upon it. we will see how they do. pretty arbitrary in my opinion. global consumers to decide. do i want to stay. >> tweeted out by donald trump shortly. you did it. you did it yourself. there we go. all right. thank you. donald trump could be getting a lot of financial support should he wanted. would you be open to that? after this. ♪

neil: you know the incredible thing about donald trump in this race he has spent very little money and when he has spent it has been his money. of course it is very expensive to run for president of the states. republican nominee, that is billion dollar undertaking. he could afford it. he has money to do it, but would he do it or just let the republican party handle it? finance chair of the republican governors association is with us right now. fred, very good to have you. >> nice to be with you. neil: do you think that, first off, mr. trump would accept that money. and would you guys be helping him with that money. >> well, first of all, neil, he

has to get to the nomination. i don't, i think we're four months off of. we learned through the cycle. scenario where he is nominee. i could give you a scenario where john kasich wins and nominee. neil: you're absolutely right. the thing would be, if he did get that far, quite right to point that out, he built his whole campaign, not under anyone's influence, i don't accept a penny from outside groups. how would he be able to distinguish the difference getting money, let's say from your group or from the republican party as an aggregate? >> well, first of all the republican governors association has nothing to do with federal election. we strictly work on electing governors. we have a chance to pick up two or three more this year. we wouldn't be planning in that. what trump has to do. he has to make clear he wants

the money. secondly, what i find talking to major donors around the country which is the real question, not what the organizations would do, but what major donors would do, they're really divide. there are people who will back the nominee. there are others who are turned off what they perceive is an intolerant and insensitive and very careless approach to policy on trump's part. and think for him to win them over, a lot depends how he conducts himself over four months. neil: now he is trying to sound last couple tuesdays when he had a big night or weekend, saturday, when he had a big night, he starts off trying to sound very presidential. there is potential to zing his competitors and it is over when they're out of the race. do you expect that to happen let's say marco rubio would bow out if he loses florida tonight. he said to me, no, he plans to fight on but if that doesn't happen, in other words, if he steps out, that donald trump's

tone will change because competitors are fewer? >> i don't think his, i hope his tone changes. i think the more likely scenario here is that john kasich wins ohio. assume for a change, that the polls are right and kasich wins in ohio. if that is the case, there is no way anybody is getting to the convention with 1237 votes and it is going to be voted on by the delegates. then as you know anything can happen. neil: ohio, and trump were to pick up florida, mathematically a bit more after climb for trump but he is still in the driver's seat. >> i think he is still 50% probability he get there is but i think also likely, neil, that without winning ohio outright and all of those delegates it is unlikely he gets to the 1237. neil: really? >> by the time -- oh, yeah. if you look at the math he has to win huge percentage of remaining delegates. neil: about half of them.

about half of them if he splits those two big states. assumes he wins others. could you support him if he ultimately is the nominee? >> depends how he conducts himself past four months. brought a lot of new ideas and voters to the party. shows a lot of intolerance and incentive doesn't appeal to me. neil: his people say, fred, you got to get over that, not you specifically. all sounding like babies. what do you say? >> i don't think they are sounding like babies. they want a president who speaks for the nation. unify people, bring people together, not separate them and not stigmatize people different from himself. i think he has to be presidential and demonstrate a different tone in his comportment. if he can do, if he can appeal to people's better instincts, then he can bring people together. if shows that, of

task force to try to stop the whole process. they're launching ads. they will have folks on tv, sunday moring shows. cable tv, saying bad idea for present to go forward with this but blocking this is the senate so many times promised might not be so easy.

mainly because people like garland are widely respected and well-known that there would be questions if he wasn't at least considered. one of the things the white house might do to battle back against this is they may put some of their nominees in public situations, making speeches before law groups, et cetera so they can get known. it will be a real battle, even if there are not hearing wit would seem unlikely at this point. neil. neil: wow. thank you very much, gerri. we get word chris christie is about to get remarks on jobs an economy in the state. i believe linden, new jersey, after a weekend he was spending so much time with donald trump on the stump a number of papers have been criticizing him he missed a state trooper's funeral as a result. it is the third trooper's funeral he has missed a lot of times because he is busy campaigning. dagen mcdowell on the fallout for the governor as a result.

dagen, what do you we think? >> do we have the sound from yesterday, that video of donald trump essentially making fun of chris christie's absent teism? neil: we do indeed. cue it up. here we go. this is it. >> your governor, kasich, if you look at him, i'm being totally impartial. he goss to new hampshire. he is living in new hampshire. living. where is chris. is chris around? even more than chris christie he was there. right? even more. i hated to do that but i had to make my point. >> the truth hurts, doesn't it, neil? donald trump is not hurting chris christie. chris christie is hurting chris christie. look on super tuesday, the photo getting off airplane with donald trump. who is under the umbrella? trump is. not chris christie. the press conference that night, the night of super tuesday, with what i call bitter brides made look on his face. neil: that is a little mean.

he did look uncomfortable. to what end? he is obviously doing this. i think it's a given in any administration he would be a good attorney general. he is a brilliant prosecutor but is he angling for something more, like running mate's slot? he would be a good attack dog something traditionally role of a running mate? >> he is angling for whatever he can get. he is angling for surgeon general if he can get it because his entire political future is hitched to donald trump. and donald trump increasingly, it is very obvious when he is on the campaign trail doesn't really need chris christie there. donald trump -- neil: so why is we him so much? >> i don't know. neil: he has christie at this, you know, question and answer session. he has him a lot. he must see some value in it? >> value was apparent yesterday when he is poking fun at him. he can be a great stooge apparently, standing next to donald trump. but, neil, this goes back to when president obama came to

new jersey after hurricane sandy. there are a lot of republicans who point to chris christie as him being the guy who hurt mitt romney's chances very late in that presidential election season. people don't forget that. i will leave you with a quote from albert brooks in "broadcast news." wouldn't it be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive? what if needy were a turn-on. neil: someone's hater here. i will just leave it at that. >> i'm saying, donald trump when he starts making fun of you, it will not end there. it is going to go on and on and it is hilarious. neil: obviously whatever galvanizes you is evil. i will leave it at that i'm kidding. i'm kidding. >> no you're not. neil: i'm not actually. dagen mcdowell, thank you very much. also we're getting update on a lot of this republican money. hear about all these donors sitting on the sidelines. they're still committed but they just don't know who they are committed to. even at this late-stage.

don't know how much cash flow is issue, you need about a billion dollars to run for president, once you get the nomination, right? >> 500 to 700 million. i think you could get done for that. because of his media status he will be on lower end of that range. neil: but he looks to guys like you? >> i'm not sure about that. but my guess is he is hoping rnc will join forces with him. then the finance area of the rnc and presidential trust will galvanize around him and raise money. neil: do you think that might happen? >> it might happen if he finds into a different gear in his gearbox. if he switches to a presidential gear out of sort of the experime right now, then i think the republican party would probably galvanize behind him. they're waiting for that. neil: there is also, something in your tone, i caught you on maria bartiromo's fine show, you were not would zing any of the candidates but, is the party getting to be more of your

mind-set, he might be the nominee, we can't keep fighting like this, what? >> all right. so listen, i'm 0-2. so the choices that i wanted did not get in the game. but the choice that we have now is the people's choice and so ultimately at the end of the day he is probably 1.6 million votes ahead of the other candidates. i think it is sort of unfair to him if i'm being fair that the other candidates are still in the race. neil: what do you make of what mitt romney has been doing, anyone but him? >> i love governor romney. he is a role model for me. he is a great person. i would not have done what governor romney did, i'll tell you why. at end of the day if donald trump becomes nominee he will need people like mitt romney to govern and build type of cabinet. neil: do you think that will happen? >> politics makes very strange bedfellows. those -- neil: i think of harsh words, worst words with reagan and bush, voodoo economics he ends up getting on ticket.

calling him charlatan, phony, liar, how does that work out? >> a little bit of nastiness has taken place i personally don't like. it is not presidential. doesn't make us look great. i think candidate trump said he done that to knock out other seven people. neil: you don't like the tone or how he speaks -- >> if you have to run the free world, you are also going to be public relations spokesman for the united states. neil: good point. >> you have to hold yourself in certain way. but i'm hoping if is nominee he reaches out, makes apology but unlikely and pulls out olive branch to guys like governor romney. he will need jeb, governor romney, paul ryan. neil: going to need you. >> he will not need me. neil: yes he will. show you what a big power player, wall street week, iconic show 8:00 p.m. on this fine network, he is the lou rukeyser. not any of gray hair. >> hopefully you think i have better hair than lou. neil: i have you have better. >> i want to thank neil cavuto
