sanders comes to the primaries -- to the debate and says he won't back down to hillary clinton . it is on. the fight for florida is now at the center of the presidential campaign universe. good evening, i am live in the spin room. this is where the candidates come to try to hammer home their case. it is a night of pointed questions, would you support children? is donald trump a racist? and secretary clinton, why do so many people find you to be untrustworthy? those are so many questions that were asked to name. we have more on the showdown in the sunshine state. >> the 7th democratic debate brought candidates spanish and english.

a personal email server while secretary of state.>> [ indiscernible ] >> that is not going to happen. i'm not going to answer that question. >>immigration was front and center. >>i would match my record against yours any day of the week. >>went and present -- saying she would take up -- clinton saying she would take up immigration reform in the first 100 days of her presidency. >>imagine where we would be today if we had achieved comprehensive immigration reform 9 years ago. >> bernie sanders pled to take action if elected. >>as president of the united states, i would use executive power. >>questions from the audience included a woman who had been deported who was asking for help. >>i will do everything i can to prevent other families from facing what you are facing. i will do everything i can to pass laws that bring families

>> sanders has become popular with his policies to fight education for all. clinton challenged him on the numbers. >>this is going to be much more expensive than anything senator sanders is admitting to. this is going to increase the federal government dramatically. my dad used to say if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. >>even know it was a democratic debate, donald trump got his time. >>is donald trump a racist? >> people can draw their own conclusions about him. you don't make america great by getting rid of everything that made america great. this was the first back-to-back debate in south florida. republicans take the states tomorrow night -- stage tomorrow night at the university of miami. this is marco rubio/chance to

state to allow him -- rubio last chance to convince voters in his home state to allow him to run. donald trump is at 40 percent. marco rubio is at 24 percent. ted cruz of texas has 17 percent and john kasich is that 8 percent. we're on campus with more on the preview. >> reporter: if you think that democratic debate was pretty hot, wait until tomorrow night right here at university of miami bankunited center. the republicans will mix it up. by the way, 3 of the 4 candidates are in south florida today campaigning their hearts out. let's take a look. >>i want to thank my wife. >>for marco rubio rallying in hialeah is comfort food

to be a campaign in trouble. he is down to the one with donald trump in recent florida polls and he picked up no tele- gets -- delegates this past tuesday. the florida primary is just 6 days away. there are calls for marco rubio to drop out. >>i will be on that ballot on tuesday. i will campaign as long and as hard as it takes. we are going to go to the white house. we're going to win this whole thing. >>on the way out of the rally, mopped by longtime supporters he underscored his resolve. >>i'm going to work it really haul all the way to tuesday. polls are polls. >>donald trump spoke to anderson cooper and says he is going to take both ohio and florida. >>do you think you will get all of the delegates we >> i think so. i see probably getting the delegates. it is like the fighters, that

it, you knock them out. if you knock them out, nothing can happen. >>ted cruz, the texas senator moving up in the polls, one in high to do -- idaho says he can unite the parties. he got the endorsement of carly fiorina. >>i will tell you the momentum is with us. conservatives are uniting with us, they are coming together with us. if this race continues and continues to narrow into a clear two-man race , head-to-head, donald trump loses. >>where was governor john kasich? he is in ohio where he has a critical test also on tuesday of next week. he needs to win that state to remain the bible candidate. joining me now is the host a facing south florida. we are here and the air- conditioning has broken. everyone is sweating a little bit. forgive us for that. your take away from that?

both hillary clinton and sanders had tough questions. when you start to think about the different things that we watch tonight, these are complementary candidates. the things the hillary clinton is strong in, bernie sanders a strong and. the things bernie sanders is strong in, hillary clinton is week. >>the question to hillary clinton, why does so many americans find you untrustworthy? how did she answer that? >> just by answering the question you are losing. is a tough spot to be in. i thought hillary clinton was at her best when she was talking to a woman whose husband was deported, when she lowered her voice. she is at her worse when she seems to be shouting trying to create a false energy. she needs to dial down a little and speak from a personal place.

>>was a video played during the debate, senator sanders talking about the dell castro -- fidel castro, seeming to sound supportive. it was an old video but they played the -- flip here let's play -- flip . let's play the clip. >>tran18 >> he deflected the question a couple of times, but can you imagine being asked that question right here in miami? >> here's a problem for bernie sanders particularly in south florida. when he talks about wanting to wage a revolution, admitting to be a socialist, those are powerful words here in south florida where you have those people who have fled country and have undergone revolutions, countries that have undergone

those words have meaning. . bernie sanders is having a hard time to bridge that gap. yes, his economic message is great, but the words he uses, he has trouble with them.. >>what about marco rubio/dance -- marco rubio last dance? >> he needs to reassert himself. i cannot be the soft marco, a cannot be the comedian marco, he has to be the policy got and really lay on the line and remind people why they had so many -- so much faith in him in the first place. >>not quite the level we have seen from the republicans but a real distinction drawn between clinton and sanders ahead of the florida primary. i will see you at the end of the newscast live from the spin room. studio. >>on our website we have a light -- live debate blog where our team has been posting all night long. we will also -- also post during tomorrow night , the

we are back in the spin room. i am joined by cooley on castro. you are a supporter of secretary clinton's. how does she do tonight? >> she did very well. she knows the issue so well. tonight i believe she resonated and spoke to a lot of the issues that floridians are concerned about, number one, ensuring that we create opportunity for everyone no matter whether you have a lot of money or not, your last name, the color of your skin. secondly, she spoke in a very compelling way about some of the foreign-policy questions that are on our mind. our relationship with cuba, she was clear that she supports the

with the cuba -- with cuba but she still condemns the actions of the castro brothers thing they need to change your she also spoke about puerto rico having the ability to restructure that. >> how alarming is it that she still has answer questions about her trustworthiness? >> the republicans have spent years trying to smear her reputation, bringing of this email issue which now the government has said that she was not the only secretary of state that had that kind of email set up. there were other secretary of state in previous administrations who did the exact same thing. so, it is not surprising that questions would come up because republicans have made a strong push over the years including recently with this trumped up email scandal to try to create that perception.

presidential candidate should secretary clinton get the nomination. is that something that you would accept? >> i don't think that is going to happen. i expect to be back in texas. i will continue to concentrate on my day job. i learned a long time ago that the best way to create future plans is to never forget what is in front of you. >>and very much. -- thank you very much . >>a homestead high school student is charged with extorting girls for sex. >>he use the app kick to target the girls it. we have -- we're live at the correctional center with a story . >> reporter: this app is the same one a 13-year-old virginia girl used just a couple of months ago to communicate with an 8-year-old man was now charged with killing her. a student used kick to core sex
