3:33 am
on the other side has never been lower. >> i am a unifier. once we get all of this finished, i'm going to go after one person. that's hillary clinton. >> reporter: among the states projected to be taken by clinton, texas, the powerhouse state with the most delegates, also giving ted cruz a crucial win at home. >> so long as the field remains divided, donald trump's path to the nomination remains more likely. and that would be a disaster for republicans. >> reporter: a home state celebration for bernie sanders, too. the projected winner in vermont saying he is undeterred by clinton's overall success. >> it's not winner take all. by the end of tonight, we are going to win many hundreds of delegates. >> reporter: and senator marco rubio also vowing to stay in the race after winning his first state. >> i will campaign as long as it

well, you heard briefly from bernie sanders there in marci's report. sanders isn't slowing down one bit. he's got events scheduled today in maine and michigan. >> sanders told supporters last night that she's not done fighting. abc's david wright was at the sanders event. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, kendis and reena. the party is over here at bernie sanders' headquarters. apparently nobody is telling the candidate or his campaign. bernie sanders among the first to come out and declare victory seizing the moment of his slam-dunk here in his home state before he knew the results in any of the other states and vowing to fight on, saying he of new delegates to the convention. and with the money he needs to carry his campaign forward. clearly, they were hoping for a few more victories. but the sanders campaign says in the weeks and months to come, making their case to the american people that bernie sanders, not hillary clinton, is
3:36 am
to represent the democratic party, particularly with the republican nominee donald trump. kendis, reena? >> abc's david wright in vermont. david, thank you so much. and stay tuned for in-depth analysis. our political team is standing by for early morning roundtable discussions. that's just in a few minutes. we want to turn our focus to another developing story this morning. severe weather in alabama, injuring at least four people. it even forced polling places to close for a time last night. the national weather service has confirmed at least one tornado and two other potential twisters. the tornado southwest of birmingham packed sustained winds of 75 miles an hour, seriously damaging at least a dozen homes, uprooting trees and downing power lines. >> further north, a snowstorm hitting the great lakes region from green bay to chicago to western michigan. police across two counties in the milwaukee area reported at
3:37 am
two dozen strand drivers who careened into ditches. many schools and government offices throughout the region will be closed today. the snow in chicago triggered a couple of runaway spinoffs at o'hare international airport. you see this private jet? it was forced actually the closing of the runway there after it slid off the pavement and shortly after that, an american airlines jet slid on a taxiway having to be towed back to the terminal. no one, thankfully, was injured in either of the incidents. >> that's all o'hare needs is more delays. >> delays, right. we're happy to say that no students were injured during a rather unique trial run that took place at a community college near l.a. >> that trial involved four-seat electrical shuttles that made the rounds on campus, testing its navigation systems. >> the shuttle was created by a small silicon valley startup. it has no steering wheel but does require a human to hold down a trigger on a joystick. if that is released, the shuttle comes to a stop. >> they want to be the big man on campus. >> i guess so.
3:38 am

3:42 am
>> donald trump says he's not taking sides. he wants to be impartial. when i'm president of the united states, we are taking sides. >> donald trump's path to the nomination remains more likely. and that would be a disaster. >> well, the race for the white house taking a big turn last night as the super tuesday results have come in, spelling major victories for the clinton and trump campaigns. >> and here to break it all down, these guys, the brains of abc's political coverage, rick klein, shushannah walshe and devin dwyer joining us at this early morning hours. thank you, guys, so much. we got a lot of information, rick, from the exit polls including something interesting it's telling us about these candidates' voter base. >> look, the bottom line for me is that we have looked for republican divisions. the party's actually not divided. they're embracing donald trump. you see massachusetts and alabama and tennessee and arkansas and all these states regional diversity and ideological diversity inside the
3:43 am
the thing is, if you judge the party by its voters, donald trump owns this party right now. it's just that the leaders are saying something different and they're not comfortable with it. so, the voters are speaking very clearly and very similarly across states. >> when it comes to those leaders, republican establishment, i feel their ipods have been playing johnny cash's "god is going to cut you down." should they be listening to beyonce's "formation"? how do they reconcile the difference? come on, girls, get in formation. >> they're definitely panicked. but the question is, is it too late? one example of the panic is new anti-trump super pac formed called our principles pack. it's got big donors behind it. meg whitman, paul singer and just yesterday, they got jeb bush's former spokesman on board. and they have ads out. really the question is, is it too late. >> that is the big question. and i was trying to think of another beyonce song. >> you do love your beyonce. >> yeah. >> continue the analogy. >> exactly.
3:44 am
is seen by many of his supporters as "irreplaceable." that's the closest beyonce i could get. >> that's pretty good. >> i mean, at this point, it seems as if the tide is turning against him right now. >> that's right. clinton looks absolutely unstoppable right now. and she began this campaign as someone who was the likely nominee. she was the presumed democratic nominee. now she's earned it. she had that scare in iowa. she took a huge hit in new hampshire. she's really come back now and tonight we really see her sailing out of super tuesday with that strong lead that she's earned. >> and quoting the weekend. >> that's right. >> rick, we really saw from the exit polls two different pictures. what republicans wanted is someone more of an outsider. the democrats are going towards political experience. what's going to happen when it comes down to november if it's really down to hillary and the trump campaigns? >> you're seeing the divisions in the country play themselves out in the way you're seeing these races begin to settle. you have front-runners that come
3:45 am
resumes, entirely different rationales, speaking to different thoughts and passions of the voters. the fact one party seems close to nominating hillary clinton sort of the ultimate insider and the other party is closer than ever to nominating donald trump, the ultimate outsider tells you this is going to be an epic clash. we always look for, why is this race going to matter? i don't think this is going to be a hard one to define. if this is hillary clinton against donald trump, we know what the big forces are. the voters are speaking to that right now. >> what did we learn about donald trump last night? i know that rick mentioned he can appeal to the cracker barrel crowd as well as the whole foods crowd. what did we learn about donald trump? >> you really look at those exit polls. he dominated in so many different groups. but the one group that really -- i just -- it shocked me the most is evangelical voters. he edged ted cruz out. it was close but he edged him out. this is someone ted cruz called vulgar and profane but the thrice married gop front-runner
3:46 am
>> by the way, my mom who does study bible closely says two corinthians is acceptable. >> i was going to say to play the contrary argument, there is a red flag for trump tonight. marco rubio won a state. it's good for marco rubio but it was trump's worst performance in the state of minnesota. he finished third place there. with so many midwest states coming up, you have illinois coming up, you have ohio a big prize, those states coming up. perhaps there is a little bit of a silver lining. >> let's point out, he did get like two net delegates out of minnesota. >> we're not talking about the delegates. >> but if it was for the hillary camp, who would the dems like to see run against that they could completely crush? which of the candidates would you think? >> you hear her campaign say it's totally excited to run against donald trump. and take the example this week. kkk scuffle, the david duke example. they want to see that front and center. i think you've started to see a little bit of it from hillary. >> we're going to continue to torture these guys. >> we're going to be right back.

it was here, now it's gone, super tuesday. most of the votes counted. we're back with the masterminds >> they are the masterminds. we want to ask you guys, what that you didn't know monday morning? >> thank you for the lexical masterminds. be smoke and not fire. i am shocked by the fact that he invested as much as he did in states like texas in particular, also alabama and vermont, is going to walk away with a goose egg, a big old round number that is zero of delegates out of these states. this is an a-level campaign. they know how it works and they were expressing we're going to eat into cruz's lead and rack up delegates everywhere. he was confident even talking to george stephanopoulos tonight. he's going to get delegates just about everywhere. >> what doesn't resonate with voters are? >> his attacks, the kind of childish. >> the small hands.
3:50 am
as donald trump said that little marco rubio. he was reduced in the minds of voters. and it may have backfired. >> that means he didn't get 20% of the vote. >> that was the threshold. they knew this. this was not a surprise and they didn't get it. >> one of the most surprising things that happened right before super tuesday, when we learned that bernie sanders raised $42 million in february alone. rubio raised in his entire campaign. what's also surprising is that bernie sanders, who likes to talk about billionaires but doesn't really like to talk it tonight at his campaign event. >> it doesn't get him any further. with jeb, he had a lot of money but didn't really help him in the end. >> he says he's going to go to the convention. he says he's going to go to the conven bounty of delegates. he has the money to go there. >> we were watching you typing away during the abc coverage last night during primetime coverage. what shocked you as you were there feverishly working? > i got to tell you, one of the most fascinating things to me is the most important quality voters say they want to see in a
3:51 am
shares their values. where does donald trump fall in that? he is the worst rated candidate in all the states last night -- in fact, in every state, i think, in the candidate that sharesmy values. so what is going on here? how can you win when the republicans don't think you share his values? it's because there are two other qualities that trump, no pun intended, and that is brings change to washington and actually tells it like it is. those are his qualities. >> i was kind of interested in one exit poll his proposal to ban noncitizen muslims from by 69% of republicans. >> no one talked about this till donald trump. it's like the republican party didn't know what they wanted talking about these things. to have two-thirds of them on the same page is remarkable. >> one of the interesting things of the night was a lot of people were talking about chris christie. >> there was that look. we got a shot of it. trending on twitter. >> #freechrischristie. >> was he bored standing behind
3:52 am
>> what was the deal with that? >> i find them the most unlikely allies. what happened to this romance? >> i think it's just utter shock at what's happening even at this moment. >> in front of his eyes. >> we want to thank you guys. incredible political powerhouse. thank you for all you do for abc especially in the late night. >> thanks for being here. >> super wednesday, everybody. >> super wednesday, everybody. it enhances my body's natural moisture so i can get into the swing of it a bit quicker. and when i know she's feeling like that, it makes me feel like we're both... when she enjoys it, we enjoy it even more. and i enjoy it. feel the difference with k-y ultragel. today you can do everything in just one click, even keep your toilet clean and fresh. introducing lysol click gel. click it in to enjoy clean freshness with every flush. lysol. start healthing.
