over by a con artist portraying himself as the fighter of thehting for the working man but he spent years sticking it to the working people. >> why didn't you make this case earlier? was that a hiss take? >> because -- you know,d prefer not to get into this situation where we're attacking one another but the cover he's getting from the media these days is extraordinary. you watch laste shows afterwards. they're like what is trump going to do to marco rubio like he's some sort ofd there are people now in the media, i'm not saying you, but others rooting for him to win because they love first of all what it means for their ratings in as the other, for those biased this means you will have a republican nominee who basically agrees with hillary clinton on planned ng neutral on israel, on -- even on issues regarding the economy like the takeover of our health care system by the government. he used the talking pointats consistently use, that if you don't support a government intervention in the

favor of letting people die in the streets.ding back and as soon as the nominee they'll open up the floodgates and hit him with a bunch of stories. it's important for republicanso be aware of what is happening. >> he has been hitting youover night in twitter calling you a choke artist, lightweight and puts up this tweet thatf the drudge report this morning asking where do you win? and that is a big question. donald trump is ahead in almost every state on super tuesday. you're ahead in yeah, i acknowledge i'm an underdog and have been my entire life, unlike donald, i didn't inherit hundreds of millions. my dad was a id the job as a maid that trump hires foreigners to do and my whole life i've had to fight and will fight now. no way the party ofervative movement, i'll allow it to be taken over by a con artist. he calls me a choker.artist. he spent 40 years sticking it to the people he claims to be

>> where do you win on tuesday? if he wins eight or nine states, can he be stopped. >> he can f all, if you look at tuesday most will award delegates proportionately and we'll do well in virtually every state and hopefully win a if we don't you'll see us continue to pick up delegates. when we get into march 15th we'll win florida -- >> he's up double digits right no, he's not. that's one poll. we've seen multiple polls that show a very different race. i am -- i know florida well. i've won there. we are going to win florida. florida is not going to vote for a con artist and it's not going to vote for someone who in palm beach right now is nowg americans that are willing to work, instead he's importing a workforce from abroad and out there some immigration crusader. fraud and we'll expose it. >> thanks for joining us. let's go to matthew dowd in

you saw about eight months' worth of attacks onht from marco rubio and ted cruz. does it change the dynamic of this race? >> well, i think that -- i think marco rubioches but i don't think there were any knockouts and one of the difficulties for marco rubio in this is he's been this ic i'm not going to attack figure through 11 debates and showed up a very different marco rubio. now, he landed punches butt of the problem. what is the authentic part you're running in the race. in the end your question is right where can he win on tuesday? debate last night changed the dynamic at all. i think donald trump is still set up to win most of the states on tuesday. >> if he wins most of the statesz has to win texas to stay in and marco rubio has to win florida two weeks later to have any chance to get the nomination? >> irobably going to win here in texas but i think he absolutely has to win in texas. i think this debate last night

the results in, this debate will fade in memoryoing on to the next thing. i think donald trump and his supporters last night watched that debate and all of them cheered and anybody is pretty set. >> nothing they put on the table will hurt donald trump? >> i think the only thing that could hurt donald trump if in the af allegations they made and attacks they made stick over the next three days. not in the moment of the debate but in the aftermath of the , matthew dowd, thanks very much. we'll have much more sunday on "this week." i'll be with our whole political team for a specialt 10:00 p.m. back to robin in l.a. >> thank you very much. back now with the countdown to oscars and host chris rock stage. his monologue one of the most eagerly awaited in oscar's history.
