welcome to "cbs this morning." gayle king is off. soledad o'brien is with us. one of the most tumultuous days in republican party history ended with a bitter presidential debate. last night's tone was fiery, insulting, and at one point indecent. front-runner donald trump faced constant attacks from his main rivals and tough questions from the moderators. >> hanging over the debate was a scathing speech from mitt romney, the last gop nominee, who called trump a phony and a fraud. major garrett is outside the fox theater in detroit where he covered last night's debate. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the atmosphere was tense and the confrontation was battle lines have never been more sharply drawn. donald trump and his populace movement and a gop establishment personified by mitt romney. stakes high and nomination and future of the republican party

>> he referred to my hands of basketball. something else must be small. i guarantee you, there is no problem. i guarantee you. >> reporter: the 11th republican debate started with a lewd response from donald trump to a new low that foreshadowed the brawl to come. >> this little guy has lied so much about my record. >> here we go! here we go! >> so much. >> it's a minor civil case. >> donald, learn not to interrupt. it's not complicated. count to ten, donald, count to ten. >> i have a policy question for you, sir. >> let's see if he answers it. >> i will. don't worry about it, marco. don't worry about it, little marco! >> gentlemen! gentlemen! >> reporter: a defensive trump dismissed lawsuits alleged he had conned students to attend his now defunct trump university easement he conned those people like he conned these people in his un

>> let's put up full screen number two. >> rolling out statistic after statistic. >> the rating from the business bureau was a d minus. the last publicly revealed rating. >> my plan for taxes and tax gutting is the best by far of everybody. >> but, mr. trump, mr. trump, your numbers don't add up. >> trump was also pressed to answer a scathing speech earlier in the day by 2012 nominee mitt romney. >> donald trump is a phony, a fraud. his promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. >> he failed miserably and it was an embarrassment to republican party. >> reporter: rebels marco rubio and ted cruz attacked relentlessly and asked the record for trump's off-the-record meeting with "the new york times." >> if tonight you tell new york city to release the audio they will do it and we can see what your true views are on immigration. >> trump refused. >> i may have discussed

new york times" but i would never release off-the-record conversations. >> reporter: the context, trump argued, was his willingness to achieve compromise. >> but i've never seen a successful person who wasn't flexible. >> reporter: cruz and rubio declared that proof that trump's conservative rhetoric won't match his presidential reality. >> donald, please, i know it's hard not to interrupt, but try. >> not what you said. >> breathe. >> lyin' ted. >> when they are done with the yoga, cai talk? >> i hope we don't see yoga on this stage. >> he is very flexible so you never know. >> even after that comaustexhausting and noisy jousting, they all said they would support the nominee even if that is donald trump. senator john mccain spoke out romney finished his speech yesterday.

security positions, quote, uninformed and dangerous. after last night's debate, major garrett asked trump about the gop establishment pylon. >> different to you today to suddenly have romney and mccain coming after you? >> no, i didn't know mccain came after me. he better -- i'm sure -- >> reporter: ed he agreed with what romney did? >> oh, he did? well, that is not nice and he has to be very careful. >> reporter: why? >> i will -- he'll find out. but romney is a failed candidate. he made a fool out of himself. he should have beaten barack obama and he feels badly about it. the fact is mitt rney choked as bad as i've ever seen anybody choke other than marco rubio when he was grilled by chris christie, he choked. but i will tell you, mitt romney should have been president. he disappeared. he choked. something went wrong with him and i wasn't happy about it and neither are a lot of other people. >> reporter: does a conversation about trump university help you or hurt you? >> well, it's a small deal and

they don't talk about the buildings i've built overthe world. >> reporter: they are trying to make it appear something representative of your larger image. >> my larger image is buildings all over the world. we are working on hundreds of deals and doing tremendous work all over the world. big deals, much bigger than that. here is the thing. >> reporter: when you're talking about trump university, you're not talking about other things? >> i agree. they will take one deal or two deals and out of hundreds and hundreds of deals that you do and they will try to make you look bad. trump university, i'll end up winning that in court. as sure as you're standing there, i'll win that in court. i could settle but i'm not a settler. >> john dickerson is in washington, moderator of "face the nation." you have the unleashing of all of these attacks against donald trump. will it, in fact, have a dent in his popularity or simply embolden his supporters deepen their own commitment? >> it's possible that it does both. it's possible it's both a turnout mechanism for all of those people who think or so disappointed with the

like the establishment is trying to steal their candidate away from them. but it also might focus the mind of some republicans who have been kind of wondering or tuning it out. mitt romney tried to set the stakes for republican voters. >> john, what about the attacks on trump university? he called it a minor civil case but there are 5,000 workers suing him and it was not just a main topic in the debate last night and main part of rubio's attacks but now the main topic of super pac ads. do you think that might have a dent in -- >> well, it goes at his professionalism and his brand is in the middle of that so it might work a little bit better rather than some of these more childish attacks. it goes at competency and it goes to this thing of sort of saying one thing and doing another. marco rubio's argument this is a template what he will do for the voters but it gets in the weeds pretty quickly so i'm not sure

>> john, there was arguments after argument against trump's candidacy and then at the end of the night all of the folks on the stage said they would support him if, in fact, he were a nominee and seemed to undercut an entire day they were trying to work against that exact point. >> i think that is right and i think it swallows the attack they are making. if they are saying he is going to ruin the country and ruin the republican party, then they sort of stepped back from that if they say, well, but i'll endorse him any way. so it doesn't seem to be that effective. but this is politics. >> how does it look for march 15th for him? >> well, we are a little bit a ways away. march 15th is the day everybody is focusing on because if the establishment is going to stop donald trump, they are going to have to do it in florida and ohio which vote on those days, winner take all contests. the strategy is a bit of a long shot at the moment is to have rubio win in florida and to have kasich win in ohio. that would deny trump the delegates or start to deny him the delegates to get to cleveland in the convention and

able to work it out there. but right now, it looks like trump is still in pretty good shape in those two states. >> is there one person behind the scenes running all of these attacks against donald trump? >> no. >> thank you, john. >> multipronged attack in this part of the game. everybody is trying to take him down. >> john speaks with ted cruz this sunday on "face the nation" on cbs. new jersey governor chris christie is defending his endorsement of donald trump. he has come under fire from establishment republicans for supporting the gop front-runner. he was mocked on social media for appearing distant during a trump victory speech on tuesday night. well, christie answered his critics yesterday. >> no, i wasn't being held hostage. no, i wasn't sitting up there thinking, oh, my god, what have i done? i was sitting -- standing up there supporting the person who i believe is the best person to beat hillary clinton of the

and it's why i endorsed him. >> christie dropped out of the republican race last month after a poor showing in new hampshire. apple and its fight with the fbi, google, amazon, microsoft among dozens of companies on thursday that filed friend of the court briefs. they argue the court order to help unlock the san bernardino gunman's iphone threatens product security and consumer privacy. relatives of six attack victims and law enforcement groups filed their own brief opposing apple. new air strikes outside of damascus could threaten the partially cease-fire in sea. the week-old truce does not include isis. rebels backed by the united states are making gains against isis and holly williams just visited a town on the front lines in northeast syria. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. syria. where the syrian democratic forces who are backed by the

campaign against isis. algae al jidadi was liberated from syria last week. buildings still standing are donned with isis slogans but now that group is under the control of the syrian democratic forces and arab kurdish alliance backed by the u.s. this was the isis police station, the islamic police station. this commander kabani told us that u.s. coalition air strikes helped her fighters defeat the extremists. but some paid a terrible price for the victory. this woman's son baz was just 20 when he was killed in al jadadi. if needed we will all fight against isis and take revenge on them for the lives of these

the syrian democratic forces are a little more th a rag tag army but they have captured territory from isis and the group is now america's most effective partner on the ground in syria. colonel taylor solo told us his fighters have been given a hundred tons of ammunition by the u.s.-led coalition the last six months and he said they have also asked for anti-tank missiles and machine guns. has the u.s. given you any of the weapons that you asked for? no, he told us. promises. one of the reasons the u.s. may be reluctant to give weapons to the syrian democratic forces is that they are accused of coordinating with russia and a longstanding truce with the syrian regime. but they fought courageously against isis and remain america's most important partner inside syria. norah? >> great reporting from inside

the chinese government leaves very little up to chance ahead of this press conference. we were asked to submit question topic areas, then received this e-mail from the government which said that we should attend the press conference and raise the question about the south china sea. to the question and make it precise and short. recent satellite images show military installations on china's man-made islands in disputed waters of the south china sea. despite assurances from china's president it had no intention to militaryize militarize. last summer we hired a small boat to try to see those small islands firsthand. it almost looks like a city in the middle of the sea. the u.s. has been patrolling the area as tensions have escalated. today, despite hundreds of journalists gathered, we had

china had pledged not to militarize its islands in the south china sea, so why has china deployed surface-to-air missile batteries and why is it constructing military-grade airfields on those islands? [ speaking in foreign language ] >> reporter: take a look at the planes and vessels coming in and out of the south china sea, they are mostly americans, this parliament spokeswoman says. the u.s. deployed our navy to the region. isn't th militarization? china is just pointing its finger right back at america. it could be so difficult to be able to ask questions at that level of government. we went to four separate meetings ahead of today's press conference just to be able to soledad? >> seth doane in beijing, thank you. president obama has given us a hint of his family's plan once office.

>> i believe that these will be a forensic audit, not just some whitewash call-in, somebody we are paying and have them kind of put a rubber stamp on it. >> reporter: are you done with wounded warrior project? >> yes, except for my new mission of trying to see change there. >> reporter: the board says it's ordered a review by independent auditors and that it would be inappropriate to answer questions until all of the facts are known. full disclosure? a cbs news corporate executive serves on that board. the board won't tell us if its review will be made public or whether the board's spending is under review as well. the board has also hired legal counsel. >> chip, thank you. i think it's incredibly important that that review be transparent and made public. >> doesn't sound like it necessarily will be, though. how do they not have a full-time cfo for an organization of that size? it seems very odd. >> i know the wounded warrior projects have done a lot of good things for our veterans. i've done stories over the years

it is friday, march 4th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including new attacks against donald trump. plus, how the front-runner flip-flopped on key issues right in the middle of last night's debate. first, here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. stakes are high. the nominates of the presidency and the future of the republican party. and from the beginning, the fight was on. >> hold on, senator! >> i'm talking! >> hold on! >> i see hillary clinton in -- >> hold on! hold on! hold on! >> at the end of the night all of the folks on the stage said they would support him if he were the nominee. >> i think it swallows the attack they are making! >> there is no truce here in northeastern syrian. the syrian democratic forces

campaign. >> almost 3,000 delegates are gathering here in beijing. so everything is carefully choreographed. >> the charity's ceo steven nardizzi has yet to comment publicly on the charges he has seen overexcessive spending at wounded warrior project. >> the film nina opens next month. zoe saldana and the production company are under fire since she was cast. >> monday, charlie will join us from cuba from his weekend with diplo. >> i will be dancing! >> it's so good! so good. how long have you had that music? >> 25 years! the only music we have ever had! sglej is i think seth is saying we should stop and get some new music. i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell and soledad o'brien. gayle it off. donald trump spent last night's republican debate fighting off attacks and explaining his shifting opinions.

interviewer that the war in afghanistan was a mistake. then told another that he never said that. >> trump said he misspoke the first time and he gave in new reason why the u.s. needed to invade. >> in afghanistan, i do mean iraq. i think you have to stay in afghanistan the fact you're next to pakistan which has nuclear weapons and we have to protect that. nuclear weapons change the game. and i was always against going into iraq. in fact, i believe i was always against it. >> the moderators asked trump to explain other conflicting statements too. >> within one day, you reversed -- on the syrian refuges. >> you're right. let me explain. the first time the question had been put to me was early on and my campaign had just started. i was very much like, okay. by the time i went back and studied it and they were talking about bringing thousands and thousands, i changed my tune. so i'm a very, very big

amendment. >> in 2000 you wrote in your book i generally oppose gun control but support the ban on assault weapons. >> i do not support the ban on assault. in terms of immigration and almost anything else, there always has to be some, you know, tug and pull and deal. you have to be able to have some flexibility, some negotiation. i may have discussed something like that with "the new york times" but i would never release off-the-record conversations. i don't think it's fair, frankly, to do that to anybody. >> how flexible are you on this issue? >> not very flexible. >> your campaign website, to this day, argues that more visas for highly skilled workers would, quote, decimate american workers. however, at the cnbc debate you spoke enthusiastically in favor much these visas. which is it? >> i'm changing. i'm changing. we need highly skilled people in this country. >> you are abandoning the position on your website? >> i'm changing it and -- the position because we have to have

>> you're not releasing the discussion with "the new york times" behind closed doors? >> that is correct. >> which have some asking on your immigration policies you're really just playing to people's fantasy. >> no, i'm not. >> which a tactic you praised in your book "or theart of the deal." >> i'm not. >> after the debate trump said it was not the one he was asked about last night. before the debate, the last two gop nominees denounced this year's front-runner. mitt romney said trump is a phony and a fraud. and, in a statement, senator john mccain called trump's national security views dangerous. major garrett asked trump about those attacks. >> reporter: still different for you today to do romney and mccain coming after you suddenly? >> i never knew mccain came after me. >> reporter: he said he agreed with what romney did? >> he did? that is not nice and he has to be very careful. >> reporter: why? >> i will -- he'll find out.

political contributor for our digital network cbsn and campaign's political campaign manager in 2008. we asked john dickerson the same we. . last night a full assault on donald trump from mitt romney and john mccain and others. at the end of the debate last night, they all said they support the nominee. if trump is the nominee, he is our guy. >> talk about letting the air out of the tire. big day and very vicious attacks. on the former nominee which almost never happens. these guys don't get involved in campaigns after they have been the nominee especially if they have lost. it was extraordinary. the debate, attack, attack, attack on trump. he was on defense all night. then the key moment where they said are you prepared to support donald trump if he is the nominee? everyone cavaliered and said, oh, yeah, sure. what is the problem? >> you know politics. has trump wrapped this up already? >> yeah, it's wrapped up. last night, someone needed to

didn't even look like they came to box. >> chris christie has said that the real risks, if you alienate the voters and tell them your choice is just wrong, isn't that why at the ends of the night they wrap it up and say we support what the voters do? >> i think you got to start with the real risk is nominating donald trump, right? because he is the least likely person to win this election but we have seen throughout the course of all of this election voters don't care about elect ability and want to throw a brick at a glass wall in washington. i think there is something to that. and i think that is what the establishment of the republican party has to start getting used to the idea that donald trump is going to be their nominee. >> you talked about a knockout punch. in the past, if a candidate said i'm changing my position, i'm softening my position that usually would have been enough. >> yeah, but donald trump, his entire candidacy is not based on idealology or issue position. everybody on the stage was

people coming after donald trump and they gave him nine months to solidify his base. he has the most intense supporters in this entire election. when you look at the numbers, his people aren't going anywhere. >> does your party deserve this candidate? >> i think it's exactly what we created. when you spend years, you know, saying that the institutions that you have built, the republican party, the congress, the white house are all corrupt and even within your own party when you throw people under the bus constantly, what do you think the voters are going to get the message on? >> i want to show you this. one point that donald trump made repeatedly last night was about his elect ability and his ability to defeat hillary clinton. he claimed multiple times the polls show he would beat hillary clinton. if you take a look at real clear politics average, in fact, he is the only one on that stage who would not defeat hillary clinton if the election were held today. >> yeah. he is the least likely candidate to do well and i think that is the panic that the establishment has is that we could actually drop an election that is in a

a third term of barack obama is not an attractive concept. and she has taken that as part of her campaign. >> just to be clear. donald trump said that is one poll. this is the average of the polls worst. >> yeah, but i don't think it's an issue, right? when you look at the exit polls from these primaries, it's maybe 12, 15% of the voters think issue. >> what is interesting about this it seems from john mccain and from mitt romney and other republicans, they just don't think he is qualified to be president. they seem to be saying we genuinely worry about the future of the country if donald trump is president. >> i think their concerns are well-founded and concerns are legitimate. they come at this with an open mind. they know politics didn't bean bagging and you don't get the candidate you want. this candidate particularly raises concerns about whether or not he could really administrator the nation. >> secondly, will he destroy the party? >> i think the party is in the process how to do that to themselves, right? i wonted

they let him grow. ted cruz stood next to donald trump for nine debates and never attacked him one single time. now he is complaining that, you know, he doesn't get enough time to beat him up. >> as norah said, you have nobody to blame but yourself. >> i didn't say that. no, i didn't say that. >> not me! >> no, i said is this the candidate that the party deserved? i asked the question. yeah. okay. rick davis, thank you. >> my pleasure. the boston marathon bombing claims part of a ballroom dancer's leg but three years later, she is about to run the race. >> i do think running a marathon is nearly impossible. >> of course. >> yes. >> yeah.

it's the world's oldest annual marathon, but what happened in boston on april 15th, 2013 changed the historic event forever. three people were killed and more than 260 hurt after a pair of bombs detonated near the finish line. among the most severely wounded that day was adrian haslett davis. a professional ballroom dancer who lost part of her left leg. her three-year recovery has been painful and difficult. but resilience and determination means she can stand and dance again. next month, adrian plans to overcome when she says is her biggest challenge yet, completing the race she had never dreamed of running! >> reporter: the milestones you've made running, what has ma that meant? >> gosh the world to me. >> reporter: adrian haslett davis is making good on a promise. >> and i wasn't very fast for so long.

>> i can run! i'm so fast! >> reporter: you're going to run the boston marathon? >> i am! >> reporter: are you a runner? >> i am now! running for me was like torture. i would run a block and be winded and feel like i was going to die, but -- >> reporter: now you're missing part of your leg and you're running a marathon? >> yeah. >> reporter: think about that. >> yeah. it's bizarre. >> reporter: so we are here on wilson street. >> we are. we are. >> reporter: where the finish line is. >> yeah. >> reporter: and birds are chirping. >> it's a beautiful day and very similar to that day. >> reporter: she stood on this very street nearly three years ago watching runners as they crossed the finish line. adrian would not be able to walk away. can i ask you about that day. >> yes. >> reporter: on april 15th? where were you when the blast occurred? >> so i had taken a right on to boylston street and the finish line was behind me, and i heard a loud blast behind me, and i

fingers in my ears and knew -- i still, to this day, don't know how i knew, but i knew that it was a terrorist attack and knew another one was going to hit. and the next thing i knew, i was on the ground. and i thought, well, i don't have any experience in this, but there is no way you can live through something like this. >> reporter: after her lower leg was amputated, adrian began a long and difficult recovery. >> i feel like i could stay as positive as possible, but it doesn't mean that the outside world isn't going to hurt me. >> reporter: painful as it was, though, you've documented the whole thing. >> uh-huh. scary looking? >> not at all. >> i was that have gone it was as raw as it was and i captured those raw moments. ow! i wanted to be as emotionally honest as possible. >> there is your foot. >> oh! >> reporter: what was it like to stand on your own for the first time? >> gosh.

>> so stand up for me. >> i remember standing up and just, as anyone would, you adjust your shirt at the bottom and i had both hands where you could see the emotion build up and i put my hands in front of my face and i lost it! >> reporter: adrian's difficult days, mixed with milestones. >> reporter: the professional dancer made her way back on stage, but with success came hardship. it affected your marriage? >> it did, yeah. it did. but that's -- yeah. >> reporter: adrian and her husband adam davis who was also injured during the bombings began their recovery together, but have since separated. she told us they agreed not to discuss their split publicly. how has your life changed? >> every way possible. i look at life so much differently now. i'm more patient with people. i didn't think i was impatient before, but i'm nor patient with people.

yeah, i am. i will always hold that. i learned that running really helps out with that. in a good way. but i believe in feeling every single bit of that and not burying it, so that you can really enjoy the good days. >> reporter: i like that you said, my life is not going to be defined by what has happened to me. >> yeah. yeah. and i want my life to be defined by how i live it. i'm not just an amputee. i'm not just a marathon survivor. you know? none of us are. and i think it's important to always remember how far you've come as well, because i have days where i think i haven't come that far at all, which sounds crazy to say, but you get in these mindsets and it's important to see, you know? to see how far you've come. >> reporter: she's come very far and remember hundred will mark a personal goal but she is doing it to support the efforts of limbs for life, an organization

tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto was the right move for us.

fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. treatment with xarelto . hey guys! hey, finally, somebody i can look up to... ...besides arnie. xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto . nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your sk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related

do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary strictions. treatment with xarelto . ...was the right move for us.
