>> i will unite this party. we will grow it. we will win in november. >> people, when we stand together, we'll be victorious. >> we will not let the american light go out. we will fight for our >> i hope you will stand up for me. i hope you will fight for me. >> everybody, i love you. get out and vote. vote. vote. good evening. i'm scott pelley with our super tuesday, super team, norah o'donnell, john dickerson, charlie rose, anthony mason, bob schieffer with our political panel, peggy nunan. it is the biggest night yet of campaign 2016 as america chooses a new president. >> nearly half the delegates needed to capture the nomination were up for grabs tonight along with a third of the delegates needed for the democratic nomination. let's have a look. trump won georgia, alabama,

massachusetts, and vermont. but ted cruz won his home state of texas, the biggest delegate prize of the night. and neighboring oklahoma. so he survives to fight another day. marco rubio gets his first win in minnesota. >> on the democratic side, hillary clinton has won massachusetts, georgia, virginia, alabama, tennessee, arkansas, and texas. and bernie sanders won his home state of vermont as well as oklahoma, minnesota, and colorado. >> so, john dickerson, what have we learned tonight? >> learned a good night for the front-runners. what about the challengers? bernie sanders got some wins. he got wins in states with the liberal electorate and not an, pretty white electorate. doesn't suggest he will be able

democratic party where african-americans are playing a central role he has been able to make inroads. on the republican side. best of all outcomes for donald trump. he won big in a bunch of states. yet his competition has enough hope that allows them to survive. which means his competition continues to be split. there is not a single alternative to donald trump. >> john dickerson. thank you very much. major garrett is in palm beach, florida, where donald trump held a news conference tonight. florida is the next big contest. winner take all. coming up in two weeks. major? >> reporter: scott, on the biggest night of his political career, donald trump did not rent a hall and pack it full of cheering supporters. instead, he decked the stage of his, the opulent stage of his ballroom here at the resort with american flags and a podium giving it all we assume by design the look and feel, just a little bit of an east room presidential news conference. we asked trump to respond to

house speaker paul ryan. that trump had not done enough to disavow ku klux klan and other hate groups like that. trump said he did in fact disavow them. david duke and others like them and said he would work with leaders in congress including paul ryan. then he added ryan better play ball or else. >> i'm going to get along great with congress. paul ryan. i don't know him well. sure i am going to get along great with him. if i don't, he will have to pay a big price, okay. we have done something that almost nobody thought could be done. and i'm very proud of it. this, i am a unifier. i would love to see the republican party and everybody get together and unify. and when we unify, there is nobody, nobody that is going to beat us. thank you very much, everybody. thank you. thank you very much. thank you. >> trump did not declare himself presumptive republican nominee but did say he is expanding and remaking the gop.

trump sees a multicandidate field ahead as something that works to his advantage. it will divide the anti-trump vote. this race turns into a completely different stage on march 15th when big states like ohio and florida have primaries and award their delegates to the winner, winner take all. charlie. >> joining us now, winner of the republican primary in home state of texas, senator ted cruz. senator, thank you for joining us. i should also say you won oklahoma as well. that means that you have won three primary states. a caucus state. my question to begin what does this mean for your campaign? >> well, charlie, thank you for having me. a terrific night tonight. what we have seen throughout the course of this whole primary has been a gradually winnowing process. started out a year ago, 17 candidates. first four states, winnowed that

and for the republicans, 65% to 70% of republicans who recognize donald trump its not the best with hillary clinton. if donald is our nominee, all likelihood we lose to hillary clinton in the general election. what i hope and believe will happen coming out of this is that we will see republicans unifying and coming together in this election. coming together that the strongest campaign to beat donald trump is our campaign. >> senator ted cruz. congratulations again. thank you for joining us this evening. >> thank you, charlie. thank you for having me. >> speaking of hillary clinton. she won seven states tonight. now she is looking ahead to florida which is two weeks from today. nancy cordes in miami where a clinton campaign rally has just wrapped up. nancy, good evening. >> reporter: good evening. clinton didn't just win big in the south tonight. she won by 30 points. 40 points.

those kinds of margins are really going to drive up the number of delegates that she takes home tonight. that upset win in massachusetts was just the icing on the cake for her. sanders came out early in the night, spoke in his home state of vermont. when clinton took the stage here in miami, she barely mentioned him. instead, she positioned herself as the anti-trump. not mentioning donald trump by name saying she doesn't want to build walls. she wants to tear down barriers. and she argued that what the country really needs is a little love and kindness. >> this country belongs to all of us. not just those at the top. [ cheers and applause ] not just to people who look one way, worship one way, or even think one way. [ applause ] >> we can disagree on a

that's what a democracy is about. but i hope all of us agree that we are going to not allow billionaires and their super pacs to destroy american democracy. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: sanders took home trophies of his own. he won in vermont, oklahoma, minnesota, colorado. and he certainly has the money to keep going. but the reality is, norah, it would take some kind of major development at this point to change the trajectory of the race. >> nancy cordes, thank you very much. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. almost sixty million americans are affected by mental illness. together we can help them with three simple words. my name is chris noth and i will listen.

the economy was most important issue for both parties today. let's look at republicans first. a third of republicans told us the economy was their top issue. government spending came in second at 28%. among those who made the economy their top issue, look at huh they broke. donald trump got most of these voters. 36%. marco rubio, 25%. the economy playing for donald trump. >> the economy the top issue among democratic voters. there you see, 38% saying the most important. followed by income inequality at 27%. now, of those democratic voters who said that the economy and jobs are most important. 62% of those voters went to hillary clinton. 36% went to bernie sanders. particularly interesting because of course senator sanders made income inequality and economy signature issues. >> as donald trump pointed out, the median income of americans has declined since the last presidential election. >> elaine, anthony, thank you very much. we will go to bob schieffer who

political contributors, peggy noonan, and jamaal buoy. >> if i was writing a press release for the mainstream taditional republicans, the washington republican establishment, i would start it out like snoopy would i would start it was a dark and stormy night. this is the night they never thought would happen. peggy, they never took donald trump seriously. they're past the denial now. they're coming to grips with the fact that donald trump is on his way to getting the republican nomination. and the alternative that may be emerging is some one that washington republicans, especially in the senate like, dislike even more than donald trump, and that is ted cruz. what, what are they going to do?

they, of course, they being the washington establishment, republican establishment, they do not want trump for all the reasons you know. and everybody knows. they also do not want the man who i think emerged as his challenger, tonight, ted cruz. i think a lot of people had been thinking it would be marco rubio who would be coming up. he would be the anti-trump. i think it has not worked well for him tonight. he still hasn't won something. and if you are going to be a winner it is important to win something. i think virginia was probably a big disappointment. i thought rubio's comments in his interview with charlie rose in which he said, threw down the gauntlet. he said a trump nomination will destroy the republican party. it will split the republican party. he will fight to the end.

>> what do you think? >> real open question, if trump coes and march 15, takes primaries, and he is the nominee, presumptive one. republicans like marco rubio they said these things they have to make a choice are they going to fall behind him or reject him. if they reject him, then they have to say to themselves, they're forfeiting the white house now. the more important thing here is to prevent a trump takeover of the republican party and prevent a destruction of conservative movement, conservatism. >> you know, i heard today from republican leaders, senior people in washington, who say they're now hoping for an open convention. how long has it been since you have heard leaders of either party say, what we really want is an open convention. they want to sew it before they get to it. >> yes, party leaders exist so that they can continue

amount of predictability, stability built into the system. they don't want an open convention. they all call it a brokered convention. that's because they still have the brokers. i'm not sure that's so. to the convention, if it goes to that would be a donnybrook. >> let's talk a little bit about the democrats. what about hillary clinton? is she well on her way now to getting the nomination? >> 100%. this was a great night for her. expected to continue doing as well. the upcoming primaries all have similar combination. virginia, georgia, large african-american population, substantial latino populations and enough white voters to bring her the the extra mile. this is sort of just a steady march to the nomination for clinton. with that said, that does not mean bernie sanders needs to give up or leave. from the beginning it's clear that bernie sanders is much more concerned about his message. >> he said actually and said again tonight i will see you in philadelphia at the convention. he is not going anywhere someone's hacked all our technology. technology...

another election year battle, centers on the vacancy for the supreme court. senate republicans want to leave the nomination to the next president, well today the current president tried to change their minds. here is chief legal correspondent jan crawford. >> reporter: the meeting with republican senate leadership was >> thank you, guys.

>> thank you. >> minority leader harry reid. >> we can at least meet with the president's nominee which should be coming quickly. they were adamant. they said no. we are not going to do this at >> majority leader mitch mcconnell said reid would do the same thing. >> if the shoe were on the other foot do any of you think the democrat majority in the senate would be confirming a republican president's nomination in the last year of his term? of course not. >> reporter: the president now is narrowing his list of nominees. and in search of a solid liberal with a sterling resume who brings diversity such as federal judge ketanji brown jackson. and, federal appeals court, paul watford, former supreme court clerk and corporate lawyer. and patricia millett, lawyer in the election, all things being

president will tap a nominee that can help rally the base since turnout in november could well be the key to the white house. >> jan crawford, thanks. apple's top lawyer told congress today they thief could steal more information from an iphone than by breaking into a house. that's why apple is fighting a court order to unlock an iphone used by one of the san bernardino terrorists. the fbi director presented his case for opening the phone. here's jeff pegues. >> reporter: fbi director james comey says what investigators are asking of apple is simple. >> we are asking apple, take the vicious guard dog away. let us try to pick the lock. >> reporter: law makers question whether investigators have done everything in their power to break into the killer's iphone before taking apple to court. republican congressman daryl issa.

you and/or contractors that you employ could not achieve this without demanding an unwilling partner do it? >> correct. >> congressman john conyers, a michigan democrat questioned the timing of the case. >> i would be deeply disappointed if the turns out that the government is fund to be exploiting a national tragedy to pursue a change in the law. >> reporter: last december, sayed farook and his wife, killed 14 people in the deadliest terrorist attack on u.s. soil since september 11th. in the days and weeks after at take -- investigators attempted to extract info mum the iphone. the fbi made a mistake, resetting farook's passworded than at prohibited the iphone

>> before there was bernie, there was larry. larry is bernie sanders older brother by six years. close through childhood and life. watching his brother's campaign from a distance, larry has been surprised by a couple of things. starting with the name. >> people say, well, bernie. >> bernie to larry it has never been bernie. it has been. >> bernard. bernard, really. >> larry has lived in england since 1969. mostly in the university town of oxford where he taught and practiced social work. from where he has been more than a little bemused at bernie or bernard's current hip campaign image. >> he is being called cool? >> you find that amuseing? >> it is. cool is not the word that comes to mind. >> dorothy and elias sanders

york city, i'm scott pelley. captioning funded by cbs it's wednesday, march 2nd,

this is the "cbs morning news." pulling away. donald trump and hillary clinton score big victories on super tuesday, and now both candidates are sizing each other up as possible foes in the general election. >> hillary clinton doesn't have >> that work, that work is not to make america great again. america never stopped being great. without warning. at least four people in alabama are hurt when a tornado batters the birmingham area. survivors say they never saw it coming. welcome back to earth! with a smile and a thumb's up, astronaut scott kelly returned from orbit. what comes next for the man who spent nearly a year in space. good morning from the studio 57 newsroom at cbs news

i'm anne-marie green. donald trump and hillary clinton rolled up decisive super tuesday victories. both trump and clinton solidified control of their races, if not control of their parties, and began to focus on each other. trump, battling opponents, and hardening resistance from the republican establishment, won in the deep south and as far north as massachusetts. major garrett begins our coverage. >> reporter: donald trump was looking for a knockout punch and he nearly got it. after sweeping contests in the south, trump continued to confound the republican establishment on super tuesday and finds himself well on the way to securing the gop nomination. >> i think, honestly, we have done something that almost nobody thought could be done. and i'm very proud of it. >> reporter: trump won the majority of conservative republicans and moderates as well and riding a wave of voters who are fed up with washington. in several states, he scored double-digit wins and is looking forward to facing hillary clinton. >> i watched hillary's speech

have been poor and everything is poor and everything is doing badly. she has been there for so long. i mean, if she hasn't straightened it out by now, she is not going to straighten it out in the next four years. it's just going to become worse and worse. >> reporter: trump's decisive wins was a blow to cruz but he won texas and oklahoma. >> as long as the field is divided, donald trump's path to the nomination remains more likely, and that would be a disaster for republicans. >> reporter: cruz has the money to keep going, but for marco rubio, it was a long and disappointing night. despite his win in minnesota, his first victory in this campaign, some have called on rubio to get out of the race. >> if i have to campaign in 50 states and in every territory, i will do that to ensure he is not the nominee and i am. i will campaign as long as it takes. one more point. no one is coming to us and say get out so we can rally around donald trump.

odds with republican party leaders. in his victory remarks, trump said he would try to get along with house speaker paul ryan but if ryan didn't play ball, he, the speaker, would pay a long price. trump's republican rivals have dim prospects of ever catching up. major garrett, cbs news, palm beach, florida. >> trump racked up huge delegate gathering victories. you now has at least 315 of the 1,237 needed to win. on the democratic side, hillary clinton is widening the gap between herself and bernie sanders. clinton won big in delegate-rich states like texas, georgia, and virginia. and while the vermont senator won his home state, clinton came out on top in neighboring massachusetts. all told, she won 7 of super tuesday's 11 races. nancy cordes is with the clinton campaign in miami.

to this election season, hillary clinton is starting to pull away. this wasn't a knockout punch. there are still many more races to come. but she has now established a lead in the delegate count and it will be very, very difficult for bernie sanders to catch up. >> what a super tuesday! >> reporter: hillary clinton swept six southern states, thanks, in large part, to huge support from african-americans, who make up more than a quarter of the voters in the seven southern states that voted yesterday. hillary clinton had at least 75% support among them. >> i believe what we need in america today is more love and kindness. >> reporter: with tuesday's victories in hand, the clinton campaign is seemingly turning an eye towards the general election and a potential showdown with donald trump.

stakes in this election have never been higher and the rhetoric we are hearing on the other side has never been lower. >> reporter: but clinton's democratic opponent bernie sanders says he is not going anywhere. >> by the end of tonight, we are going to win many hundreds of delegates. >> reporter: sanders did pick up a few states of his own on super tuesday. his home state of vermont and minnesota and colorado. and so he has little reason to drop out. he raised $42 million last month, so he has got plenty of money and there are six more states voting over the next week, including michigan, which is delegate rich and it has 142 delegates. nancy cordes, cbs news, miami. with 35 states yet to vote, hillary clinton holds a nearly 3-1 edge over sanders in delegates. nearly half of her support comes from so-called super delegates

candidate they wish. so where did clinton and trump draw their support from? anthony mason has a look at our exit polling data. >> reporter: with hillary clinton and donald trump having strong nights, we wanted to look at the architecture of their strength on super tuesday. first. she won 88% of democratic voters for whom experience was the top issue. she won 8 out of 10 african-american voters and among women, she took almost two-thirds, 65%, and those who ranked the economy the top issue. donald trump won six states and here is a look where his strength came from. he won 63% of republicans who wanted an outsider and he won a majority of voters who ranked immigration as their top issue and he won 44% of voters who put change at top and he won 37% of

conservative, ted cruz had the highest numbers there. with hillary clinton's strong night, how would sanders voters feel if clinton was the nominee ultimately? they are split down the middle. 38% said they would be satisfied with clinton and 79% said they would not. a different look when you look things. among nontrump voters on super tuesday in the gop side, fully us they would not be satisfied with donald trump as their nominee. so a deep chasm in the republican party. coming up on "cbs this morning," we will wrap up the results of super tuesday and discuss the growing divide in the republican party. straight ahead on the morning news, we will speak one-on-one with "face the nation" host john dickerson and get his impression on the race for the white house. and, later, astronaut scott kelly touches down on earth

as the road to the white house winds on, super tuesday might be remembered as the turning point. hillary clinton and donald trump made huge leaps toward their respective party's nominations. earlier, i spoke to cbs news political director and moderator of "face the nation" john dickerson about where the race is headed. all right, john, a big night for donald trump. very successful. give me a snapshot who -- where did he win and who did he win with and who is supporting him? >> he won with lower -- low income voters, higher income voters in some places. so the trump coalition bounces all over the place, depending on the states, which is one of the things that republicans are trying to come to terms with here and certainly his opponents are trying to come to terms with it because ted cruz thought with evangelicals, i'll be able to make inroads and he didn't. >> what can we expect moving forward?

tonight. will they coalesce around trump donald trump or double down on the resistance? >> there is a choice for republicans to make. do they start to move behind donald trump or do they have a resistance movement that has to snap into quick action, because if he is going to be stopped, he has to denied the 1,237 delegates. the only way to do that is to start beating him up so badly on these contests that are coming up that he can't win and that then marco rubio or ted cruz becomes the person who can win these winner take all states and amass enough delegates and then goes to the convention and fights it out at the convention. the challenge with that is, a, they have to fight fast and furiously. and some republicans may not be ready for that. also, because there are two alternatives now, john kasich making it a third and who knows if ben carson adding another, that splits the anti-trump votes and it's a messier conversation to have, it's messier in terms

you know, if john kasich hadn't been in the race, marco rubio might have done well enough in virginia to beat donald trump. so the presence of these candidates out there really does change the landscape of things. >> i'm wondering now, after super tuesday, can we look at this more than as a two-man race and the other man being ted cruz? >> you could, except marco rubio continues to be carried aloft by the hopes of the mainstream republicans who are incapable of coming to terms with the idea that donald trump would be the nominee of the party that they love. and so while the rubio path to the nomination is now a single file path, very narrow that he must walk, it sustains or continues to exist because there are some republicans who really hope that somehow they can use -- that he can do better and get to the convention and have a situation where it can be competitive and where somehow, through some perhaps even some

nomination. so he did not -- he only got one win. that's not a great record. but because there is this real desire to beat donald trump, he is allowed to fight another day where another kind of candidate wouldn't be. >> let's talk about the democrats. hillary clinton did well, as expected. you know, bernie sanders maybe not terrible. but, you know, hillary clinton definitely is way ahead in the delegates. on the flip side, bernie sanders continues to raise money. so i'm wondering is he out of the race? can we write him off? or do you think he will live to fight another day? >> well, he won in enough states that you can't just write him off. he also has a very strong message and a lot of people who are liking him and he has a lot of money so hard to written him off. the biggest problem to him than winning fewer states than hillary clinton and being behind in the delegate count, he still seems to be incapable of doing very well in the

is a part of the democratic coalition. you can't be a democratic nominee and not have that kind of vote. so it's one of the reasons why in future states, he'll have a tough time winning, but it also is a flaw in his candidacy if he is going to be the nominee for the party. >> john dickerson, moderator of "face the nation," thank you very much. >> sure thing. we will have much more analysis coming up on "cbs this morning" when we talk with bob schieffer about last night's results. still ahead, return to earth. astronaut scott kelly has a warm homecoming after a record stay on the international space station. a hard outer shell with a smooth center. luscious.... flowing... welcome... to the best time of your day. unwrap... unwind... experience the melt. only the lindor truffle.
