>> you can't just say when i get the smartest people and they'll tell me what to do. >> reporter: in a fox news forum last night both rubio and ted cruz questioned trump's ls. >> we are not going to allow the conservative movement to be defined by a nominee who isn't a conservative. >> donald wins the general election, who the heck nows what he'd do asmean, you know, we need a president we can trust. >> reporter: trump is also taking fire from the last gop nominee, mitt romney, over his returns. >> i think we have good reason to believe that there's a bombshell in donald trump's taxes. when people decide they don't want to give you their taxes it's usually becauseg they don't want you to see. >> reporter: trump fired back tweeting that romney, quote, blew an election that should have been won and is now playing the tough guy. straight wins, trump now seems confident he's on his way to the nomination.

amazing twopplause ] we might not even need the two months, folks, to be honest, all right. >> reporter: he's even musing about his potentialal pick. the outsider saying he may go with a washington insider. >> i do want somebody that's political because i want to get lots of great legislation that wes just sitting there for years and years and years. >> reporter: trump is also getting his first insider support. just yesterday, george, he was endorsed by two of congress, his very first congressional endorsements but as he told you just yesterday, endorsements are a, quote, waste did say that. you're in front of that board. let's give everyone a sense of why we call it super tuesday. what's at stake? >> this is the single biggest day of the entire primary. delegates at stake, about half you would need to clinch the nomination. you've got most of the big states in the south, a little bit of new england, a little bit

to get delegates even with a second or third place finish. >> donald trump ahead in most of the polls in most of those states right now so both rubioe to find somewhere to get a win. >> reporter: especially ted cruz. his home state votes, he has to win texas and his entire campaign has beeng in the south. if he can't find a way to win there it's lights out for that campaign. as for marco rubio it's unclear where he can win but you can look at where he's spending his of time in minnesota, virginia, tennessee, oklahoma, unclear which of those states he can win but he's got to show he can win somewhere. >> okay, jon, to m where the republican debate will be held tonight. this debate is maybe the last best chance for cruz and rubio to shake things up. up until now they've been going at each other moret trump. >> we've seen evidence that ted cruz is willing to take on donald trump but i think the real question mark is on the same stage can marco rubio it with donald trump? and i think nobody knows the

i think there's an an internal debate in the campaign whether they confront donald trump on the stage tonight or leave himtinue on the way. so i think that's the million dollar question. will marco rubio take on donald trump on stage tonight? >> will anyone pick up oneighing in on the campaign yesterday saying there might be a bombshell in donald trump's tax returns. of course, he faced questions, as well. you think anyone will pick up that attack? >>. it seems a bizarre line of attack by mitt romney who as you say was attacked on his taxes byrse of this. my advice to mitt romney, there's a lot of vulnerabilities donald trump has but don't go after donald trump on tax elevators. >> okay,ery much. you'll join us on super tuesday. you all can stay with us on super tuesday. i'll be here with our whole political time plusn "gma" and "world news tonight." now to another battle, this one between apple and the

security and privacy. in an abc news exclusive anchor david muir sat down one-on-one with apple ceo tim cook to find out why the company is refusing the government's request to unlocker's iphone. >> as we sit here you know some of the families of the victims in san bernardino have now come out in support of the judge's order that apple help the fbi unlock thate family reportedly saying we're angry and confused as to this. families tonight. >> david, they have our deepest what they've been through, no one should have to go through. apple has cooperated with the fbi fully in this case. they came to us and asked us for all we had on this phone and we gave everything that we had. but this case is not about one phone, this case is about the is at stake here is can the

software that we believe would make hundreds of millions of customershe world including the u.s. >> you'd have to write that system in order to unlock that phone. >> yes. yes, this is -- we have no morebout this phone. the only way to get information at least currently the only way we know would be to write a piece of software that we view as sort of the software of cancer. we think it's bad news to write. we would never write it. we have never written it. and that is what is at stake s it believes syed farook used that phone to communicate with his wife, his accomplice and i'm curious, do you struggle at all with the possibility theren on that phone that could reveal other plots, other people who were involved in attack? >> david, if we knew a way to get the phone that we haven't already given, if we knew a way to do in that

it. >> but in your quiet moments do you have any concern that you might be able to prevent a terrorist attack by phone? >> david, some things are hard, and some things are right, and some things are both. this is one of those things. >> and in this there are some things that just >> correct. >> as we walked across the apple campus, it was not lost on us that this would have been steve jobs' 61st not a day goes by he doesn't think about his iconic predecessor. >> i did think about what he would do and i am so convinced steve, steve always did what he thought was right and it is so clear to me that he loved s founded on so much and would do nothing to put all these customers at risk.

>> and joining me now abc's correspondent pierre thomas and abc's chief legal analyst dan abrams. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> pierre, one of the points cook makes if apple grants thishey may ask again it will set precedent. what are the feds saying about that. >> amy, i spoke to a number of senior government officials and they're just not buying cook's they say this is not about mass surveillance at all. one official told me the fbi simply wants apple to develop a way into that phone that will be known only to them. he admitted that the fbi andgencies will likely come to apple with new requests in the future but each time each agency must convince a court to approve a search warrant and emphasizedno investigation remains urgent because the killer couple swore allegiance to isis and said they need to know if others were involved and if anything else is out there. >> publicly we're talking about national security versust legally it's more defined than that. >> refer, phone company, computer companies have been assisted the government in

violating people's privacy supreme court has upheld it. the legal question here is effectively is in that much different? is this what's called an undue burden on apple? and that's as much anological question as it is legal. >> the federal response, what are they saying about these threats reportedly made by isis against mark zuckerberg? >> the leaders of facebook andhe subject of online threats because they openly have stated plans to try to block the broad social media campaign from isis. but a number of securityal of the video's credibility and whether this group really has the means to carry out that atch. george, over to you. >> we'll get the latest on that deadly rampage in michigan and learning what the days before he did that. abc's alex perez has an exclusive interview. >> reporter: this morning, the

reveal that dalton went to his after the first shooting occurred at this residential complex telling his family that his chevy equinox had been sideswiped and he needed to switch cars eventually taking his parents' chevy before heading back out. and then a few hours after that police arrived. >> that's correct. police told carol what t that moment was she in disbelief? >> i can only imagine. she's still in disbelief. >> reporter: for "good morning america," alex perez, abc news, >> thanks to alex for that. amy, you have startling new video. >> this shows just how dangerous e-cigarette batteries can be. a man was putting change in hislook at that. it happened at a gas station when his e-cigarette battery exploded lighting his pants on fire. the clerk ran after him with a fire extinguisher. the man suffered burns and as e-cigarette batteries become more popular

that is certainly a warning for everyone andome really incredible video, you've got the elephant video. >> another warning, if you see an elephant, move out of the way. we have another comes from africa. not from amy's safari this week which was amazing itself but from a u.s. senator learning about poaching on a fact-findingharged by these elephants protecting their young. he got too close. they wanted to protect themselves. and arizona senator jeff flake got a little too close andonsoring a bill to crack down on poaching which helps fund terrorist groups in africa out there for a good cause. >> i got to tell you when you see those elephants up ose tusks are incredibly large. near that. >> every animal in africa is a lot bigger than on tv. i found that out we got to get to sam. more on those wins. >> when you're cleaning up today
