here's one of the republican ballots and even though there's nine candidates listed here, there's only still four people in the race an as you mentioned this is make or break for governor john kasich here in ohio and senator marco rubio in florida as trump hopes to close strong tonight. this is the day donald trump hopes to solidify his gop front-runner status and knock off some of his final republican rivals. >> but if you go to your doctor and he tells you it's over, it's just done, you're done, you are gonna be dead in three weeks, doesn't matter. get out tomorrow and vote. >> reporter: trump also taking shots at ohio governor john kasich. >> and your governor is abntee. he goes to new hampshire. he's living in new hampshire, living. >> reporter: trump also trying to make a new point saying he's a peacemaker trying to rewri history of the recent violence surrounding his campaign events.

these are love fests. >> reporter: but sarah palin, not the same script addressing the violent clashes that have taken place at trump rallies. >> what we don't have time for is all that petty, punk ass little thuggery stuff that's been going on with these quote/unquote protesters. >> reporter: but senator marco rubio says some of the blame lies on trump. rubio banking on his home state to keep his campaign alive. not ready to surrender to trump. >> we have never had a presidential candidate that has to be bleeped out. >> reporter: governor kasich campaigning with mitt romney on message. >> and i watched the presidential campaign rally with people slugging one another. this is not how we fix america. >> reporter: and a trump supporter disrupting an event for senator ted cruz telling him to go back to canada. >> say, sir, one difference between this and a donald trump

to punch you in the face. >> reporter: yeah, now with conversations from republican voters in florida and ohio it's unclear if the violence will have any effect on donald trump. those trump supporters say they are sticking with him but to win in ohio and florida he may need more than just his core base. george. >> thanks. donald trump joins us now by phone in palm beach. five big states. how many are you going to win? >> well, i'd like to say five but i would never say anything. i want to see what happens. it's always a complicated process but i think we're going to do very well. we seem to be having great poll numbers. >> if you lose one or two, especially ohio, the chances of a contested convention go way up and rivals especially ted cruz are organizing for that. are you ready for a delegate by delegate contest in cleveland? >> well, i think i'm going to do well in ohio. i was there last night. we had an amazing stop in youngstown, and you know we're

look at what's happened and, you know, kasich supported nafta, he's now supporting ppp which is going to totally destroy ohio. it's going to take all of the car business out of ohio and you look at what he's doing and you look at what he's done. he's in favor of common core, expanded obamacare in ohio and ohio, frankly, if it didn't strike oil, you know, years ago, ohio has the highest budget increase of any state -- >> but are you ready for a contested convention? >> well, i don't know. i mean we'll have to see how we'll do today. maybe i'll tell you tomorrow but i think we'll do well in ohio for all of those reasons. i think we'll do really well in ohio. we'll see. if i am i'll be talking to you about it tomorrow. >> you said you're a peace-loving person bur you're still open to paying the legal fees of your supporter who cold cocked a protestering. by doing that wouldn't you be

>> i don't condone violence. i didn't say i would pay -- >> so you're not going to. >> nobody has asked me for fees and i haven't even seen it so i never said i would -- >> you said you were looking into it. if you're open to that, wouldn't by paying those fees, wouldn't that be rewarding violence? >> well, maybe so and maybe that's why i wouldn't do it. i don't condone violence at all and, you know, i looked and i watched and i'm going to make a decision but i certainly don't condone violence and maybe you're right and maybe that's why i wouldn't do it. >> and you've also said, you know, said a peace-loving person but many have talked about the various things you said on the trump that seem to encourage violence, so based on what you're saying right now are you going to be toning down your own rhetoric for the next phase? supply don't think i should be because i've had the biggest rallies of anybody, probably ever in terms of primaries and there's not even a contest and we have had very, very little difficulty.

other than that, i mean we've had very, very little difficulty. if you look at when you have 25 and even 35,000 people at these rally, we've had very, very little difficulties. >> finally one of the super pacs going against you has put up a new ad where it has women quoting you saying things you said about other women. i was wondering have you seen it? >> well, you know, i have seen it and it was a romney deal. you know, who ran one of the worst races in the history of presidential politics. he should have easily beaten the failed president obama and it's a lot of sour grapes. women, if you look at the women's polling, are leaving the booths, women i'm leading by a lot and i've done very well with women and with men and with educated and with the military and with vets, i mean, we're doing well in every category but i'm leading with women and i'm very happy about it. >> mr. trump, thanks for joining us this morning.

>> a possible reversal on the legal fees. >> it does seem that way. all the campaigns are very busy. we'll look live at the kasich campaign. hard at work in columbus, ohio and we're joined now by the republican presidential candidate, john kasich. good enough to join us live this morning facing a crucial showdown in ohio. he joins us from westerville. governor, good morning to you on this very busy and important tuesday morning. we just heard from donald trump. he was very critical of your record in ohio among things saying that you supported nafta. how do you respond to what he said? >> well, we're up over 400,000 jobs. we're one of the fastest growing states in america. i've cut tacks by more than any sitting governor. we're running a $2 billion surplus surplus. our credit is rock solid. our pensions are very strong and we've left no one behind. we've helped mentally ill, drug addicted, the working poor and the same formula i used when i

committee and balanced the budget in washington and saw a tremendous growth in jobs so both in washington and in ohio i've used the same formula, we have come out of the very bad situation here and we're doing really, really well and the numbers speak for themselves and, look, this is the way it is on election eve, all the time, and, you know, as arnold schwarzenegger told me years ago, john, in politics you have to learn to love the beatings and i do. just another election. >> and the numbers are in your favor right now. some of the polls are showing you at a slight lead -- >> we're going to win in ohio. we've got great momentum. >> is it a make or break? do you have to win ohio? >> yeah, we have to -- we're going to win ohio. don't worry about it. you'll see tonight. we're going to win ohio. we'll do better in illinois than anybody thinks and i'll be campaigning all across this country. we're getting momentum and for the first time, i've been getting attention here in the

of people in ohio watched me in the debates and would say how come they don't ask kasich any questions. finally i'm starting to get some time and we feel very good. our ground game is terrific and, look, i have about a 79% approval rating among republicans in ohio, and i think they're just rewarding two things, one is a good record and, secondly, the fact that i've run an unwaveringly positive campaign. i'm not going to take the low road to the white house as we've seen some do. >> sir, how difficult has that been? we've seen mayhelp. we have seen violence. we have seen name-calling and you have stayed above the fray. how difficult has that been or has it? >> well, it's not been difficult because i have an obligation to the 11.5 million people who live in ohio, and, of course, to my family. i have two 16-year-old daughters and when i look at the things i saw at that rally and i see in rallies and the rhetoric, it's disgraceful, frankly.

spends its time slugging each other in the aisles or where the people who want to lead the country are insulting every group that he faces. i mean, they're blasting these images all over the world and i'm sure people are shaking their heads, saying, what's happening to america? so it's been very easy for me to be positive because i think you win with vision. i think you win the trump voter as somebody who has a record and accomplishs and a vision. i think today, you know, when politicians' lips move people think they're lying, and the reason i talk about my record is because i want everybody to examine it. i want everybody to understand that i have done these things. these are not just promises, these are things i've accomplished and the people of the state are better off as a result and when i was in washington, the people and the country were better off as a result so i'm very happy with what we've done. >> i know as i said very busy, important day. we really appreciate you joining us this morning, governor kasich, thank you. >> all right, give my best to george. >> oh, he's right here. >> i'm right here, governor.

results from the day. also a contest in northern mariana island and donald trump has won all nine delegates. hillary clinton's campaign hard at work and bernie sanders' campaign out there, as well in north carolina. and hillary hopes to win in florida and north carolina but bernie sanders pushing hard for upsets across the midwest and chicago. you. the polls are already open here. this may be the state where hillary clinton was born, but bernie sanders is hoping for a big win here and today he needs not just to win some states, he needs to win some delegates. in this race to the finish, bernie sanders on a whirlwind tour. on monday alone stopping in four of the five states voting today. his final stop, chicago. >> let us see this great state lead the country into a political revolution. >> reporter: hillary clinton

her own overnight in north carolina. >> you know, i had to come back to charlotte because i love the name. >> reporter: but this morning there is trouble on the horizon in ohio where sanders is approaching on clinton's lead. >> reporter: people saying bernie sanders winning ohio, no way. well, guess what, we have a good vote tomorrow, people come out. we're going to win here in ohio. >> reporter: a buckeye state loss while not enough to block clinton's path to the nomination would be an embarrassing setback. >> i am asking for your support. i would be honored to receive it. i hope to be your nominee. >> reporter: and while both candidates have their hopes on pulling off a victory today, in dueling town halls overnight, their focus was all about donald trump. >> we have a major candidate for president of the united states,

inciting violence among his supporters. >> people remember mob violence that led to limping. >> reporter: yeah, to get a sense of how these candidates are feeling about today, look no further than where they had headed tonight. hillary clinton goes to florida where she's got that double-digit lead and hoping for a victory party and bernie sanders goes to arizona, george, where they vote next week. >> he's looking ahead. cecilia, thanks very much. let's talk about it with jon karl, matthew dowd and, jon, let me begin with you and the democrats. i think the clinton campaign bracing for another night like last tuesday where they got beat in michigan. it's close now in ohio. in missouri, in illinois. could set up this kind of situation where she wins more delegates but also has real weaknesses revealed. >> reporter: that's right. that was a complete shock in michigan. one of the biggest upsets we have seen. bernie sanders is in a much stronger position now in ohio and missouri than going into michigan so he could easily come out of today actually winning

necessarily winning more delegates because hillary clinton is poised to win very big in florida and north carolina. >> and, matt, on the republican side you saw donald trump. he said he'll talk about a contested convention tomorrow. will we be talking about that tomorrow? >> well, today being march 15th i recall shakespeer and julius caesar said beware the ides of march. it's likely to be the establishment candidate. if donald trump sweeps there won't be a contested convention. if he loses one of the big ones and looks like it's to be ohio, the contested convention is coming our way and we'll have an unbelievable time, the republicans will and us in the media in ohio in cleveland when that comes but i think tonight what's going to happen is the last bastion of the establishment is probably going to lose and that's what is amazing about the race. >> we'll see what happens and i'll be here for live updates as election results come in. now today's other top headlines from amy. >> all right, george. we have breaking news out of germany where a car exploded on

the driver was killed. no one else was hurt. police believe it was a bomb but they are not saying whether they believe it was a failed attack. back here in this country for the first time the nfl is acknowledging a link between football and degenerative brain disorders. appearing on capitol hill nfl senior vice president jeff miller cited research on a number of retired nfl players diagnosed with the brain disease cte and said there is, quote, certainly a link, but he says many questions remain about just how common it is. and brood's hottest show visited the white house. the stars of "hamilton" performed songs about the nation's founding fathers and the show's creator, lin-manuel miranda even involved president obama in some freestyle rapping. take a look i'm not done it's the oval office i can't believe i'm there it's so much more intimidating opportunity knocks and i can't stop

and, yo, the mike drops >> how good is that? that's -- you think that's going viral? that's going viral. >> yep. president obama is correct. that did absolutely go viral and i love the #bamforham. >> i know. it's a must see. >> he is so talented. >> freestyling like that. and the president too. >> all right. >> thank you, we'll go to ginger with severe weather we're seeing. >> right, we have to start with almost 40 severe weather reports from kentucky too south carolina including this ohio tornado that is phillipsburg. 105 mile-per-hour max sustained wind, ef-1. thankfully no one hurt. threat from up to grand rapids. damaging wind.

if you have clear runny nose that goes to yellow and body aches more likely a cold. itchy scratchy eyes and sips go on and on, it's more likely to be allergies. >> if you haven't shown symptoms yet, anything to keep it at bay. >> a number of things. first thing i say is suck it up and shut it out so the suck it up is use a vacuum cleaner with a hepa filter to sock up the pollen around the house, floor, rugs. and shutting it out. so nice to open the window and let the breeze in, that brings in all the pollen. clean your air-conditioning filter and that will help a lot. take it off. when you come in from the outside, take a shower, change your clothes. that is a's going to get the pollen off your body off and stay on track. track pollen levels online. weather sites all have them and when levels are high stay indoors especially the morning when they're high. >> what if you're already showing symptoms, what do you do?

>> you know, i think just having to relive things that happened, you know, even though they happened in the past, have to go relive that and also have a million different opinions about it, but i mean, he laid everything out for me the day after we got engaged. >> one thing to hear from him but another to see it. what was watching last night's episode like because it was gut-wrenching in my house and we weren't even -- we didn't have skin in the game. i can't imagine what that was like for the two of you. >> the better question is has she seen last night's episode. >> oh, did you have a blind spot -- >> i have ee seen bits and pieces so i've taken the approach for the last few episodes i've watched mostly just our part so obviously that's so nice to relive but i just don't know if it's necessary to relive, you know, the other parts. >> that would be pretty difficult, i can imagine that to be the case. the big headline this year was ben had fallen in love with two women. how do you get past that, lauren. >> you know what, i kind of during that portion and i think

that i thought that could be a possibility so i wasn't shocked initially and i think that day that he did get down on one knee then told me and was just totally honest, i think interest that day we really just took -- made a commitment to move forward. >> yeah. your parents didn't really help you out any when you were like help me decide. what did they make of last night? did they find out with everybody last night or did you tell them ahead of time. did your family really know what happened? >> on like at the end? >> right. >> yeah, they did. we let them know and you know it's kind of like anything else during the show. it doesn't always relate with real life in a sense and so to fall in love with two people and try to get advice on that doesn't happen. there's no training. >> so i know that you all decided not to get married last night. everybody was so disappointed. why couldn't you just have a wedding too. >> we've done this fairly odd the way it is. let's try to make things as normal as possible from here on out. >> we asked viewers to send questions.

asks what is the most surprising thing you learned about each other after the show? >> oh, i don't mow if it's surprising but i've talked about it a little bit. ben is very much a morning person and i'm not so much so that was just one of those little adjustments you make when you get engaged and, yeah. >> that's livable. >> livable. totally livable. >> lauren makes amazing breakfast sandwiches. >> oh. >> like you don't get that on the show so it's really nice to wake up and a breakfast sandwich -- ? that's a hint that you'll be are to go make some breakfast sandwiches. when guys tell you you're good at something like folding clothes, don't always believe that. marital advice for you two but congratulations, good luck. >> thank you, thank you so much. >> and now you can finally have a normal date. we're excited. to camera, right? >> no, hopefully not. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> now back over to g.i. joe and robin. >> congratulations to them both. >> yeah, congratulations to both of you. that's great. an abc news exclusive.

announcing the lord & taylor agreed to settle charges on instagram posts. abc's rebecca jarvis leer with the details. >> reporter: ftc is taking aim at a hugely successful ad campaign, instagram posts, blogs, even what appears to be a news article online. it was all to promote a new line of dresses, the problem, according to regulators, lord & taylor didn't make it clear the whole thing was a paid advertisement. it's an expertly executed ad campaign, 50 of the hottest fashion bloggers all in the same paisley dress all over instagram paid as much as $4,000 each to post these pics on the same day. rachel and rachel got the dress for free and among the trend setters behind the ad blitz, lord & taylor. >> they reached out and said we have this dress from design lab and want to send it to 00 influencers and see how they style it and promote it.

same time between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. and then post it tagging lord & taylor. >> reporter: the campaign, a huge success. lord & taylor selling out of the dress almost immediately. the photobomb reaching more than 11 million instagram users in just two days. but this morning, regulators are calling into question the retail giant's tactics. >> consumers are looking at posts on instagram, they have no idea and they think this person who's fashion sense i value likes this dress and they don't know that it's there because lord & taylor paid the influencer. >> reporter: the ftc settling charges saying lord & taylor violated federal law claiming the department store giant duped customers by failing to disclose it paid for the posts in exchange for endorsements. do you think your followers know you get paid for these posts? >> yeah, i think now like blogging is like an understood thing as a career. i wouldn't say like every single person knows, but majority does now. >> reporter: in a statement lord

america" "when it came to our attention that there were potential erins we took immediate action to ensure that clear disclosures were made. we cooperated fully with the ftc's inquiry into this matter. there is no indication of wrongdoing whatsoever." nour, the bloggers which are not accused of any misconduct were asked by lord & taylor within a week after the original post went out to include #add in their photos they did include that and they did say their people, the people that follow them, they know they're authentic and true to their core and knew what they were getting. >> let's talk to tory johnson about this right now. lord & taylor did the right thing here? >> absolutely. in terms of complying with whatever the ftc has asked them to comply with, the law is the law and it's designed to help protect consumers to make them aware of when someone is being paid to make an endorsement or a recommendation. >> we should say you do the "deals & steals" every week. never paid. >> we are never paid by thecans. i'm paid by abc, not by the

it's a service we provide to viewers and i think it's really important that "a," we follow the law so bloggers have to follow the law and i think there's a little gray area in terrells of give consumers a lot of credit. i think consumers, we decide which bloggers to follow, which instagram photos we want to see in our feed and whether or not someone is getting paid to make a recommendation at the end of the day if i don't think that dress is cute, the buck stops with me. i'm not going to open my wallet simply because a blogger, a celebrity, somebody told me it's a cute dress. >> if you don't like it, if you do, you do. >> exactly. >> the product, does that have any bearing. >> i think the product has some bearing. looking, this is a dress. it would be different if this was a drug and there was a blogger that was being paid to make false claim, this secret smoothie made me lose weight even though it didn't. that's an absolute violation. >> anything having to do with health really. >> absolutely. absolutely. it's a dress and with apparel, accessories, there's a lot of paid endorsements, paid posts

and you will battle him to the death. black and blue, fight night, the greatest gladiator match in the history of the world. god versus man. day versus night. son of krypton versus bat of gotham. >> ooh. so good, jesse but i have to ask you taking on the iconic villain lex luthor was that intimidating at all for you? >> it was both intimidating and kind of a great honor because the role is really wonderful and it provided kind of a great challenge as an actor and, you know, with the character like that and then this clip it's kind of hard to see he has like real emotional core and that he has his own feelings about things but that's the challenge of it is to kind of provide this evil character with a real emotional personal center. >> there are so many layers you brought to lex luthor which was so fascinating to watch on the screen. isn't it fun to play someone

it's kind of fun, isn't it. >> you get to do all these things that in person you'd be arrested for or killed, you know, yelling at bigger people. stealing. >> peeking to that you're going up against superman and batman. what was that like in real terms on the set with henry cavill and ben affleck. >> i got to take out all these feelings in high school being around the football team and notscreaming at them and forcing them to wear cape, my two dreams and i got to accomplish both of them. >> theres with a lot of improvising. >> the script is written by this guy named chris terrio. brilliant writer, didn't want to change a lot of his stuff but there was a feeling of like to make it our own and make these and original. >> it's so great and it's so top secret. i mean, any of us who have seen it had to sign nondisclosures and so secret you actually had to be in disguise when walking to the set? >> yes. >> we have some picture, i

you're channeling your inner laura ingalls. >> that wasn't disguise. that's just how i go outside. i just am lamenting, you know, kind of the south and, yes, that's my antebellum look. no, no, yeah, because i had this wig on and lex luthor is notoriously bald so didn't want to reveal my character has hair so i had to wear that for months. as great it is to feel you're playing this cool role it's incredibly emasculating walking to your work in a kind of hold handkerchief. >> very funny so that is a wig. it's not -- that was my next question. was that your hair you grew out. >> i signed as many non nondisclosures agreements, i signed more and can't reveal but there are great like my character changes personalities and visual looks and so the visual look is a redundant thing so i can't say anything. >> fair enough, fair enough. so what do you do after playing lex luthor. what are you working on now?

was on a book tour for the last several months and, you know -- >> woody allen movie -- >> i did a woody allen movie too and it's the strangest thing, we did it a year and a half ago and then you work on other things and then coming back to it now is really fun but also you feel a bit disconnected to it and also actors have an unusual amount of down time so try to occupy myself. >> you told me even despite the down time you have not watched yourself in this film yet. >> yeah. >> are you going to? >> no, i -- you know, i try to avoid it because it's like -- you know, it's like hearing machine. maybe that doesn't exist anymore. no one has -- >> i know what you're talking about. it never hears like what you -- >> when you play it back. it's like that times a million. because not only criticizing your stupid face but your voice sounds weird and everybody about you so i'm critical. everybody is critical. >> i'll tell you, you're fantastic in this film and i understand you were actually another role?

play another role and i didn't think i could do it and i think maybe i was rude to the director in saying i couldn't do it and he was like, wow, he's rude enough to be lex luthor. >> it worked out perfectly. >> yeah. >> thank you so much, jesse eisenberg to stopping by and justice" opens nationwide march 25th. see it, unlike jesse. coming you, the best moments by the south by southwest
