i mean, i think bernie sanders is, you know, can be very classy and has been. not all of his supporters have been classy. >> we'll see. they all rallied around hillary then. thank you all. we'll be back tomorrow with more "mtp daily." my pals, john and mark, have "with all due respect" right now. chris, thank you very much. i appreciate it. this has been an amazing -- >> happy to be noticed by donald. >> all over the country, all over the world, but for purposes of tonight. >> are you stupid? on topic. on topic. >> beautiful. when you see so many other companies, now leaving, they used to move from new york to florida. or they would move from new jersey to someplace else, chris. but now -- >> this is the crap i have to hear. >> a friend of mine who is in the excavation business and i always orders caterpillar. >> nobody cares. >> it takes courage to run. it takes courage to run for

president. >> people say when they have no experience and don't know what they're talking. >> this has been an amazing period of time. it's been amazing for me even from an educational standpoint. >> get the hell off the beach. >> i would love to see the republican party and everybody get together and unify and when we unify, there is nobody, nobody that's going to beat us. thank you very much, everybody. >> best of luck. super tuesday is over. now it's just regular, plain, old wednesday. still, a lot to talk about. so let's get to it. by it, i mean mitt. tomorrow morning in utah, governor mitt romney will make a rare speech about his thoughts on the 2016 presidential race. according to republican source, the speech will not include an endorsement or any big announcement. he is expected to single out

trump for criticism for not releasing his tax returns and not vocally distancing himself from the klu klux klan. he does not plan to endorse any other candidate we're told. not everyone in the party or even in romney world, agrees with mitt's attitude about trump. for instance, former romney advisor, eric told, the party leadership could make more progress if they focused on building bridges instead of burning them. indeed in line with the 2012 nominee of the gop, that includes the current massachusetts governor, charlie baker, who said today that he won't vote for trump in november, up against hillary clinton. and in other news in the race, ben carson is out. he says he is sees no path in the nomination and won't participate in the debate tomorrow in his hometown of detroit. so john, while we wait for mitt romney's speech tomorrow, which will get a ton of attention, how

will willard mitt romney's address affect the energized stop trump movement? >> well, look, i mean, mark, you know know as well as i do, branded republican in 2012, but never really that. he is not a guy who is a tight within the republican party, although given the number of pigmes, i think it could be a catalyst and observing for days, brewing stop trump movement. whether he can be someone who brings the movement in a powerful way, i don't know. but this will be one more log on the fire burning on that side of the republican party. >> look there are still people around mitt romney that would like him to run and even though he is not going to, there will be suspicions, part of an effort to position if he is drafted at the convention to be the person who stops trump there. >> right. >> that's not what this is

about. governor romney could inspire people to give. one of his former aids is running one of the big stop trump super pacs and they're trying to raise money this week. maybe his private courtship of donors could get money out there to get ads on the air in some of these upcoming states to try to stop him. >> very important you just made about the money. the group and other groups have been out there kind of like trying to tilt this trump windmill for a while and haven't had any money to do it. this might help. we heard about some discussions yesterday with paul singer, witman getting behind it. the ricketts. whatever the effect of this, it's an historic memo. this is a big deal. just genericcly speaking, the past republican nominee speaking out against the current front runner, hasn't happened in my lifetime, i don't think it has

happened in your's either. it's a big damn deal. >> big day tomorrow. we'll be watching it closely. all right, moving on. get out your abcuss and buckle up, delegate drive. barring some seismic event, destined to become the republican nominee. the other guys in the race seem to be relegated to hoping that there is some tricky delegate math that could lead trump shy of the number for nomination, forcing a contestsed convention in the summer. trump's goal is 1237 delegates, delegate count, truchl now has just 319 delegates. his opponents have a combined 385. so here is one scenario we came up with, how trump could be stopped majority, and it requires two basic assumptions. one, that besides nevada, caucus states have not been trump's strongest. he lost iowa and alaska and

minnesota and perhaps won't get stronger in caucus. he may see close races in states with big suburban populations, like in virginia where he won, but not by very much. even in the states trump has lost, he still gets a lot of delegates, one-third of the delegates about and given that, let's say the pattern continues in the caucus states and heavily suburban states in the midwest and northeast, rural states in the great plains. let's say he loses in ohio to john kasich, he also loses florida to marco rubio. those are two of the big winner take all states. even if trump won in either other winner take all states, pro forgs na proportionately, he would fall short. all right, so john, we've laid out the scenario, lots of other scenarios, would you tweak

about, but does that make a case to you that it's possible that trump continuing along, continuing to win a lot of states, is stop short of the majority? >> i think it's eminently plausible. it's certainly plausible. the key thing there in addition to some of the things you said about the demographic places where trump may not be strong, the caucus states where only republicans are allowed to vote, he may be weaker, the key he'll have to win the winner take all. not just ohio and florida, but other big winner take all. if that happens, though, there a reasonable chance that -- reasonable, not the most likely out come, but the reasonable chance he could be stopped of short of 1,237. i think that's the only way that donald trump does not become the nominee, but i'm open to that possibility, more open than i've ever been to the contested convention in my career. >> yeah, look, the question of whether they could take it from a contested convention is a whole other topic. we'll discuss again.

but could the math work out where they stop him? he could. but what's interesting, the outside groups we mentioned earlier in the program, if they start to advertise big in these states, if let's say marco rubio really focuses on florida, rubio focuses on florida, kasich focuses on ohio, you could see where trump is pinned down, doesn't win enough states in the winner take all category to get to the majority. that's what the party is going for. a lot of calculation going on. >> right. >> again, as you said, plausible. it's not the most likely out come, but far from impossible. mathematically we're in the flesh and blood word in which we're living. >> look, i'm not saying he has to lose all the winner take all states, but he has to lose the big ones. if you get into a one-on-one race, new jersey, other places like that, he could lose those states, if he does, you could

keep him from getting over the goal line. >> yep, all right. so this morning, hillary clinton's super tuesday victories, the master minds behind bernie sanders', tad devine laid out the plan for a path forward. briefing to reporters up in ver month. basically their scenario involves the prospect that sanders could win big states like new york and california and do well in michigan, coming up on tuesday. not super high on winning florida in their briefing. john, how plausible is the sanders plan at this point to stop hillary clinton from getting the majority. >> not that plausible. look, i admire those guys. they know, tad devine knows math as well as anybody in the democratic party. there is probably a narrow path, but really narrow. a lot less likely than the previous thing we were talking about on the earlier top bick holding trump short of 1237. those big states, man, more

demographically diverse, not many with the mono chromatic that sanders plays well in, a very, very, very hard road going forward. >> sanders did better than he did yesterday. i was flat wrong. i thought he would only win one or two. he won four. it's about delegate math, however. he needs a momentum changing win if he could win in michigan, for instance, hillary clinton i think would face a little bit more of a challenge than she is now. that would be the kind of state she beat him in at this point. it will be difficult for him. as we've discussed many times, once you fall behind in the democratic party rules, it's hard to catch up. there is no winner take all. sanders would start to have winning states in a big way, bigger than i believe his aides think he can and then he'll have to start flipping super -- >> it is.

>> any potential game changers to change the game for the next presidential contest coming up on saturday? we'll discuss the possibility of that, after this. but with my back pain i couldn't sleep... so i couldn't get up in time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a sleep aid plus the 12-hour strength of aleve... for pain relief that can last into the morning. and now... i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. make you feel like an svp doeinstead of a vp? a new desk then you might be gearcentric. right now, save up to 40% on desks and filing cabinets! office depot officemax. gear up for great®. that just tastes better. fresher. more flavorful. delicious.

this week is what political scientists call a freaking dream. super tuesday, last night and coming up, we've now got mitt romney surprise speech in utah. the republican candidates minus ben carson in detroit, and then, the accelerators known as cpac in the washington area into the weekend. all of that culminates this weekend, kentucky, maine, lou c they stop trump from dominating on sunday? >> a lot of things will happen between now and then, for sure.

if you look at those events, it's not 100% clear to me that romney -- trump will dominate them any way. you think about some of the things we were talking about before. some of them are caucus states, a lot run by rick santorum, although we've seen him do well with evangelicals, he is not necessarily in a better position to do well with evangelicals in caucus states than ted cruz is. even if there isn't or aren't any big intervening event or events. >> yeah, look, we both agree, trump is in an overwhelmingly strong position since last night. even if he had a bad debate, these events helps him peril. four years ago, mitt romney was in a strong position. it looked like he was cruising, but then he had a bad cpac speech, talking about being conservative, and rick santorum

won with no delegates at stake and changed the race dramatically. it has some peril for trump. the race is looking to keep the race alive. this could be a real factor in the race, regardless of whether trump does well or not at cpac, whether trump does well or not at the debate in the motor city. >> look there was not much good news for marco rubio in last night's results. the one thing they pointed to, it's not totally uncredible, is the notion that marco rubio did well with late deciding voters, and maybe a case to be maybe that marco rubio's attacks on trump, as he claims, helped propel him to a better finish, although his finish is not great, if those attacks continue as you points out at the debate tonight, with ben carson now off the debate stage and if cruz and rubio go hard at trump tonight, and those attacks take a little bit more out of trump's hide,

structurally, as you say, it may not be a great saturday, as good as his tuesday night was. >> i know the bell rung, but with the exception of nevada, a hybrid caucus system, he has lost every caucus, so watch saturday. >> yep. >> all right. if you saw donald trump super tuesday super press conference in florida last night, you probably noticed governor christie, who introduced trump, and then as trump stook, stood behind him staring at the back of his head. he was thoroughly mocked on social media, and has been trounced for seeming to some like an opportunist, foreign dorsing trump, but john, i ask you this. is it indeed possible that christie's presence by trump's side figuratively is helping the front-runner more than the mockers believe. >> let's be clear. he was mocked in our open. there is a lot of mockery going around here. let's look at trump's

performance at the press conference last night. compared to previous trump press conferences, including one i attended in south carolina. he was very presidential. he drew a lot of reviews, how good he was. i think there is a chance that christie is having a moderating influence on trump's rhetoric, that christie is providing some adu adult supervision in the campaign helping him a bettso t answer is yeah, i think as much as christie might deserve mockery, he might be doing some good in trump world. >> i think the inside game, no doubt. if i were running for president, pure skills, i would want christie as my campaign manager. he knows a lot about politics. if he is giving trump advice, he may have seen the benefits of that. as much as he was mocked for standing back there and making faces and looking a little vague and distant at times, he has,

trump has someone in his corner who a known figure, a great fighter and has had great success in politics. i think people can mock all they want. people questioning his decision to back trump. but i think there is no doubt that donald trump is lucky and happy to have chris christie by his side and helping him quite a bit. coming up, al hunt joins us live to talk about mitt romney's speech tomorrow, after this.

any time you talk about money, donald trump likes to tell you how well thee he is, how he is worth billions of dollars, the first time he was asked about his taxes, he said they're beautiful, they're big and beautiful. well, great. let us see them. he likes to tell people how well he has done. why isn't he willing to let us look at the tax returns. >> that was mitt romney last week, and what i believe was his last interview with fox news, where he was talking about donald trump. as we mentioned earlier, the former republican presidential nominee plans to deliver a speech on the state of the race in utah. to talk more about that and more about what's going on in the republican race, bloomberg view star columnist, al hunt. al, thanks for coming by. >> good to be here. >> what's motivating him to do this? his own desires, taking guilty about taking trump's endorsement. no one else is stopping him. >> all of the above.

let me ask you a question. do you know anybody who is a really avid mitt supporter, who will vote for donald trump. >> no, but rich who might give money to stop donald trump. >> that money would be better given to the little sister of the poor. it won't work. it will play into trump's hands. these criticisms haven't worked before. some of these groups have been focus groups, they've shown trump on howard stern where he says awful things about women and they say ah, that's old donald. so i have serious questions as to whether that stuff is going to work. somebody has got to beat him, cruz or rubio or kasich, i suppose. and then you know how tough that is. >> yeah, is romney's voice singular in the party? in other words, the speech is getting a lot of attention tomorrow. is there anybody like him who could speak out, or it doesn't matter matter, because no speech will slow him down. >> nobody in the party that commands that kind of attention,

maybe ieye eisenhower would. paul ryan, this is driving him crazy. he hates all of this. i mean, donald trump anti of everything he believes in. >> the field, is there a chance that romney lays out an argument that, you know, he is a pretty smart guy, clarity that the other republicans between the candidates can latch on to? >> i think he is going to, what i'm told, he'll talk about t temperament a great deal. the others have touched on it, but maybe not as deeply as they should. >> cruz, i think people agree, had the best night of the three, remaining trump challengers, but not a ton giving him momentum. >> do you know how many

delegates he got out of texas? winning three is important. not enough to say boy, he is on par with donald right now. of course, rubio, if it hadn't been for minnesota. they turned into a mediocre. >> my brother and others said before last night that trump, the stop trump movement was better off with multiple candidates in the race, because they could focus on stopping him in different places. i didn't think that was true. now i'm thinking it is true. if rubio focus everything on florida. >> i totally agree. that's the only way to stop him. if kasich wasn't running in ohio, if he dropped out, marco rubio wouldn't win. trump would win. the same thing in florida. the only way to stop him is to have multiple candidates. hopefully they can zero in on one challenger. what they're counting is he goes on to that convention with 1140

delegates or 1120 delegates and it goes to the second ballot and there will be -- >> i don't think trump got any major endorsements of the super tuesday. >> i don't think chris christie say boy, i want to get on the bandwagon now. >> will the moment come? if he is short of a majority, will there come a time where lamar alexander, other leading senators and governors. >> i don't think lamar alexander ever would. all kinds of reasons in politics, but most of the people who i consider really serious minded republicans, whether they're conservatives or so-called moderates, they don't think donald trump is any where near to be qualified president. it's not an ideological thing. it's not like in fights before. this is a man who eminently unqualified. >> paul ryan said the party should come around. do you think if trump decided he

wanted lamar alexander's endorsement, he could get on the phone and set up meetings if things, if he continues to win states. i would like to work with you, do you think they would be susceptible to that? >> i think a number of them would not be. >> what about the convention? >> you've interviewed some of them. stewart stevens, they can't bring themselves to do this, they cannot bring themselves to embrace an eminently unqualified person. whether they go for an independent, whether they go to cleveland, i don't know. but i think this is different than other battles i've seen. people did think in 1980, the bush people thought reagan was not as qualified as bush. >> but they went to the convention. >> they didn't think reagan would be a disastrous president and be unqualified. >> could this be ryan and chris christie in cleveland.

>> priebis got his wish. it will be fun to watch. it may be, i don't know, it may be a bit bizarre, but i think it will be a lot of politician whose will have to go. >> right. >> we're talking about people like lamar alexander who is different than your run of the mill. >> i was kidding when i say priebis got who he want. he's neutral. jeb bush's campaign talk about his new position in life, sort of like his old job. involves trying to stop donald trump from becoming the republican nominee. listen to the program on the radio here in washington on 99.1. there's a more enjoyable way to get your fiber.

the prompter says it's miller time, but that's a joke he has heard often. former communications. >> you could do so much better than that, mark. >> that's why i didn't read it. >> tim miller, jeb bush's

communication director, joins us from miami. he has a new job. working for our principle pac, a super pac for the sole purpose of trying to stop donald trump from being the republican nominee. tim joins us from miami. tim, why did you take this job? >> because it's -- sometimes in life, you need to be on what is right and good. and stopping donald trump from being the republican nominee and stopping him from being the president is certainly that. he has no chance to become the president, as you know, because hillary clinton would wipe the floor with him in the general election. his favorite thing to talk about his his polls. he loves talking about the polls. half of his stump speech is the polls. i don't know what he would talk about in the general election, since hillary is cleaning his clock in every poll out there. so it's our job to stop that horrible reality from happening.

>> tim, the pac has not raised as much money as it would have liked. perhaps an infusion of cash. how much cash do you hope to raise in the next three weeks? >> well, sure. and look, i think that our principal spent about $3 million in iowa, with some success, seeing that's one of the states that donald trump has not won to ta date. focuses on his issues. because of the fragmented field, for a variety of reasons, there was not a financial support in the ensuing weeks that there needed to be. so now more and more money is coming in the door. our principal has raised more in the last week than it had through its existence to date. we have a $1 million television buy on air right now. over $1 million, focusing on how

donald trump scammed people at trump u. a new piece of information just surfaced with donald trump writing on the trump blog in 2005 that he thinks outsourcing is a great thing, huge, fantastic, outsourcing is awesome. that's going to be something he is going to have to contend with tomorrow night in detroit. >> you're going to raise $10 million, $15 million, how much will you raise between now and march 15th. >> as much as we can and spend as much as we can. >> you're not going to give you me a number. we'll move on. >> i'm not going to give you a number. american future fund is also spending money on this, and our ae seeing more and more money come in the door and so you know, hopefully we'll spend as much as it takes. >> yeah, tim, mitt romney is a moderate fan of this program. not impossible he is watching right now. what would you like him say in his speech tomorrow? >> hey, governor romney. what i would love for you to say in your speech tomorrow is that

no matter who you are in the republican party, no matter what, you know, whether you can fancy yourself an establishment republican or a conservative, or a movement conservative or poplist, donald trump is not looking out for you. he's looking out for himself. what you've seen from mitt over the past few weeks, is highlighting the fact that donald has not released his tax returns. my guess he hasn't released because hasn't given anything to charity. he probably pays very little in taxes. he hasn't put out his tax returns. mitt has rightly called him out on that. rightly called him out that he would not denounce the kkk. my hope he continues to do that tomorrow with more clarity. i expect he will. i look forward to hearing what he has to say. >> tim, you guys -- >> -- wall to wall with the same

intensity that you cover donald trump's events. >> charlie baker, a few other people have come out, but i don't know anything of the things cumulatively have gotten as much attention as governor christie's endorsement. what do you think about governor christie did and how much you think that is helping donald trump stabilize in this commanding position he is in? >> well, i think basically what it did was exposed the fact that chris christie's entire campaign was a farce. ostensibly he was running for office as the tell it like it is candidate who wanted to talk hard truths about the specific policy proposals that our country needs to address and then he went and endorsed the candidate who offers absolutely no policies specifics, who does not -- who wants to tell people the opposite of hard truths. he tells people what they want to hear. he has a reputation for being a guy who people wish they would say. but donald trump is telling people what he thinks they wish

he would say. he is not telling hard truths. he is a complete phony and a fraud. and frankly, the fact that chris christie is going to support him just so he can continue to get on tv, standing behind donald trump at mar-a-lago, fake gold sha, a huge portion of it has been occurred negatively towards chris christie and extremely well deserved. >> is the republican party in your associates, your friends, people you've talked to in the party, are you in a panic over the prospect of donald trump being your nominee. >> i'm not in a panic. i can't speak for he have been. i think he can absolutely still be stopped. i think that the conventional wisdom in d.c. about this is very much considerate of the fact that this nomination

process will work out like past nomination processes have. in fact, it's completely different than past process he is. donald trump has received less than half the delegates, cruz and rubio combined have more delegate than trump does. if you looked at the exit polls yesterday, the key number was half of the voters who showed up to vote said they would be unhappy with trump as the nominee. this is not like george w. bush in 1999, where he was -- >> tim. >> consolidating as. donald trump is consolidates more and more people who don't want him as the nominee. so we're in for a long process. >> if donald trump called you and left you a message, tim, i would like to reach out to you, explain to you what i'm about, please call me back, would you call him back? >> yeah, sure, of course i would call him back. i have a lot of things that i would like to talk to him. i would query him on a number of things, and share that with your viewers and other folks like that. but i would never vote for him. i would never support him.

there is nothing he could say to win me over, because he is a complete fraud. he is demonstrated that he is a complete fraud over a body of work throughout his life, and frankly, the fact that just what came out today about the fact that is he pro outsourcing, pro path citizenship, central elements of his campaign. donald trump can't be trusted as president. he would have no respect for the constitution. but we don't ever have to worry about that. what the republican party has to worry about if he gets the nomination. because he'll get his hiny whooped. >> we'll talk to you soon. >> i look forward to it. >> donald trump and hillary clinton, after these words from our sponsors. is it becoming a better professor by being a more adventurous student? is it one day giving your daughter the opportunity she deserves? is it finally witnessing all the artistic wonders

wous. we can't have it both ways. >> well, you could exist as an organization without any government funding. you could. >> we will. we've been around for 100 years. we're looking forward to celebrating our centennial. it's dangerous when politicians put their own political agenda ahead of the well-being of folks in this country and access to health care. that's what we're seeing in the republican presidential primary, every single candidate saying we want to end access to planned parenthood, don't want to have safe and legal abortion any more. that doesn't reflect where the american people and frankly, where most republicans are. >> i'm not trying to force you to say nice things about him if you don't want to, but there seems to be no political upside for the fight for him to praise the role that you all play in health issues, again, outside of abortion. so i'm just wondering where you think the fact that he is doing that is a good thing, because he seems to be as the republican

front-runner, planned parenthood does a lot of good. >> i mean, i think it probably reflects is that he or his polling is showing what we see constantly. that is that people support us and support our health care. so of course, i'm always grateful when people understand what we do, and there are i think a lot of folks that don't understand the good work that planned parenthood does and i think that's important. but i don't want anyone to be misled about the danger of someone who is going to run for president and then say for the two and a half million folks that come to us for health care, that you can't come back for health care. we're going to cut them out of, that we've been part of for decades in america. >> within the context of the republican nomination fight, your candidate, hillary clinton seems to be doing pretty well. would you say she's the favorite to be the next president of the united states states. >> i want to make sure i make this disdistinction, she has a d record in women's health, that's why so many folks come to us.

think she is poised to become the democratic nomination. she is demonstrating a breadth of support. i think this november's election is going to be, i don't think anyone is taking anything for granted. one of the most interesting political years and we've been doing this a long time. it's been an interesting political years. i think i'm glad to see so many young people interested in electoral politics. i think that they're going to be a critical voting block in november, and i think they would certainly swing for her. >> i've covered enough of these that when the supreme court is put on the table. >> yes. >> elites say, oh, voters are going to care about it. voters tend not to care much about it. any indication this opening in the fight is going to be part of the dialogue? >> i think it will be. i just left the supreme court, where of course they're hearing the case about the texas laws that have been so restrictive on women's access to safe and legal abortion in that state. i was interested this week any

think it was cosmo's poll, health care and reproductive rights. the assault at the state level and so many cases in the courts, this a special year, and i tend to agree with you. usually the supreme court seems rather far away. but because of all the assaults on women's access to basic health care and the efforts to turn back the clock decades, i think the supreme court, one, obviously a seat that's very much important to a lot of cases that we all care about. and i think it's much more in the mind of voters than i've ever seen. >> all right, so as president obama thinks about who he might nominate, is an absolute that he nominate someone on their public record or direct questioning of the president, affirms they'll uphold roe v. wade? is that an absolute? >> i think anyone respects the history of the court and respect judicial precedent. we'll be looking closely at any

nominee. i think right now, i'm in the camp of believing president obama was elected for a four year term, not a three year term and it is unbelievable to me. we had an important today in front of eight judges. a lot more cases coming up in the ranks, and i think the american people deserve to have nine judges on the supreme court. >> a litness test for either party, others say that rowe is such an important precedent. times changed. so do you insist that president obama nominate a potential justice who is on the record as saying i will vote to uphold rowe if it comes before the court. >> i'm not in a position to insist president obama does anything. i will tell you for planned parenthood and for the millions of people who depend on us for health care, that is really

important us to have a federal judiciary and that includes legal abortion. i don't think it's a hypothetical case. today, we saw a case argued before the court that even as the solliistor general said, won can't access it. >> i didn't ask the question the right way, because i said insist. i'll ask one more time. yes or no, would you be disappointed if he nominated someone whose record had been positioned - >> didn't support women's rights? >> i would be disappointed any judge that wouldn't support rowe versus wade. >> if the president picked someone without his knowing in advance based on their statements that they supported upholding rowe? would that disappoint you if he did that? >> obviously i'm going to be disappointed in any nominee that doesn't support women's rights.

>> the question about the president, you won't know until they're on the court. >> that's true, so how would -- that's not a process. >> well, he could nominate someone who had written supported rowe, will you uphold rowe if it becomes the court. would you be disappointed if he picked someone without knowing for sure that they supported rowe? >> well, i guess you're going into such a hypothetical, but i will be disappointed and i don't think just myself, but millions of women will be disappointed if the next nominee to the court doesn't clearly support women's rights. that includes rowe. >> give me a name of someone you think would be good. >> oh, my gosh, no. i'm not going to start speculate what you would pick? >> i've heard lots of names. >> which names do you like? >> i'm not like into picking. that may not be the best judgment to have my endorsement if they want to be, you know, confirmed to the supreme court. it's just important that we do look for judges who have a

judicial temperament that understand that women are equal parts of the society. it was interesting sitting there today in the courtroom, getting to hear a case argued where we have three women on the supreme court as a woman, as a mom, i could tell you, it makes a huge difference to have different voices in the room who actually have walked in the shoes of women in this country, and so it's been extremely grateful for sotomay sotomayor. >> thanks very much. >> okay. >> i appreciate you coming in. coming up, how good of a stand up comic is marco rubio? you're going to find out at least what some people think, right after this. lavorful. delicious. only one egg with better nutrition... like more vitamins d, e, and omega 3s. and 25% less saturated fat. only one egg good enough for my family.

if you have been paying any attention to this campaign, you may have noticed that marco rubio has been doing something kind of funny.

but telling jokes about donald trump, we thought it would be interested to bring in a couple of professional comedians, the question i just raised, is marco rubio actually funny? >> he went backstage, he was having a meltdown. then he asked for a full-length mirror. i don't know why because the podium goes up to here. maybe to make sure his pants weren't wet. >> that's a huge problem in the political sphere right now. incontinence. >> you come off as sophomore rick. i was just a semi finalist on nbc's last comic standing. >> when seth myers hosted. >> i think rubio is funny. potential to be very funny. i definitely see what he is trying to do, but it may be a little too late. >> looks like a little boy on stage. not that i look like a little

boy -- >> yeah he does, he looks like a little boy on stage. >> he wouldn't be the youngest president, but he would be the oldest president ever elected. so it's like an eight year term. >> i don't worry about trump. i worry about sanders. because he looks old now. he looks like the ghost of president past now. so if he gets the full eight years, he he'll look like walking dead, just parts of his face falling off. >> great honer. i think he meant to say great honor. i don't know how he got that wrong. the e and o are nowhere near each other on the keyboard. that's how they spell it at the wharton school of business. >> he only went to one of the best business schools. sweet burn. >> trump tower, he must have hired a foreign worker to do his tweets. >> foreign people can't spell. >> he doesn't sweat. he doesn't sweat because his pores are clogged from the spray

tan he uses. >> pretty sweet. horrible white high-fives. >> donald is not going to make america great. he'll make america orange. >> you want to play the orange thing, i live in florida, i see oranges everyday. he is more orange than oranges. >> you know what they say about men with small hands? you can't trust them. you can't trust them. >> oh. >> he could have -- there was more. definitely more nectar in that joke. you know what they say about men with small hands, fast cars, helicopters, they big huge falic buildings. >> our thanks to neil brennan, he has a play off-broadway. you should see it. the dude is hill rarioarious.

welcome back.

john wlorks w john, who won the day. >> the same guy tomorrow, willard mitt romney, who announced he's going to do something in salt lake city, tomorrow, and immediately attract the attention of people in the media. getting on planes, automobiles, buses, heading to salt lake city. that's a man who can command the spotlight, therefore, winning the day. >> yeah, i think tomorrow, he might win the day. today, i think hillary clinton won the day. you know, she did well. sanders did better than i thought he would, though. bernie sanders won four states. but hillary clinton is benefitting now from something that is often been her enemy, the expectations game. sanders wins four states, his team lays out a pretty rigorous road map and yet she is in a commanding position according to all wc, which is what her campaign wants.

check out bloomberg politics.com. how hillary clinton's road map to beating bernie sanders got put into place. see you tomorrow from detroit. say yeah say. let's play "hardball." good evening, i'm chris matthews, back in washington. well, too little too late and too loopy. the republican establishment trying to keep the nomination from the man who has now won ten state primaries and on the way to tripling the number. question, this being a democracy, how do you deny your party's, people who have never done anything like it have come rushing from their houses to support. how do you hold primary after primary, asking people to vote in them and then when you
