night of his campaign. savannah and er alexander, thank you so much. marco rubio is with us from michigan where he held a rally last night. good morning, sir. >> good there have been these four republican contests. donald trump has won three of them. we've seen the field of candidates narrow.s dynamic seems to be the same. you've got you and ted cruz and some of the other candidates fighting each other, and trump sailing to victory. lot of morning, why not take on trump directly? what's your answer to that? >> yeah, first of all, you needrything we've applied, the lessons of every other campaign before and throw them out the window. this is an unusual year and an unusual process. the nevada caucuses, by the way, are i respect nevada very much. last night, that was different than the rest of the country. here's the bottom line fact, the vast and overwhelming majority

it's evidenced by the fact your poll last week showed if it came down to donald trump and me, i'd beat him by 16 points.a dynamic where as long as there are four people running, dividing up the non-trump vote, you'll get results like last night. the sooner we can narrow the race down, the easier it'll stop donald trump. >> sorry to interrupt. some candidates dropped out and we've seen donald trump grow hisyou say nevada is an outliar er but he got 46% of the vote last night. >> mitt romney got over 50% caucus in nevada, with the same number of candidates in the race. as i said, it's a state that's like that, or along those lines. i love nevada. we did well and picked up delegates there last night and moved on. one candidate dropped out between saturday and today andnor bush. i think you'll see more of that happening over the next few days and weeks. as that happens, i thinkoing to get stronger.

people joining our effort. we're the only ones in the race that can unite the republican party and grow it. it's how we'll win in i'm channelling republicans and conservatives who like you and support you but are frustrated you're not specifically going after donald trump, and you seem more focused on tedeir concern seems to be by the time you get rid of ted cruz, if that is the strategy, it'll be too late. donald trump will states and too many delegates. why not go at donald trump right now? >> first of all, i haven't heard that. i talk to people all day. i go to rallies all the timee voters begging me to attack anyone. second, i think it's a media narrative. a lot of people want to see republicans attackingcause it makes for good television. i'm not in the race to attack anyone. >> forgive the interruption, but you've been going after cruz. >> i'm respo. if i'm attacked, i'm going to respond and set the record straight. in the case of ted cruz, he's

me and we've had to clear thent to the fact he's making things up. if you recall in the last debate, donald trump said george w. bush is responsible for 9/11. i corrected him in a firm way in entire nation. when instances liegs s s like that arise, i won't hesitate to point out our differences or things i i didn't run for office to tear up other republicans. i'm going to tell people who i am and why i'm running. i'll give them a choice. if they elect me, they'll have someone who unifies the party, party, governs this country responsibly, deals with our challenges, and i will be a president for all americans. even the people that don't agree with us.o bring the country together as best i can. >> senator marco rubio, always good to get your time. thank you. >> thanks, senator. >> thank you. now we have donald trump on he, of course, won the nevada caucuses last night. congratulations on your win, sir. >> thank you very much. >> you came kind of close toictory of the whole nomination last night. you said, it'll be an amazing

take two months. clearly, you're feeling good. is this nomination yours tohis point? >> i don't know. i can't answer that question. i can only say we're doing really well. we have tremendous numbers out of the different states we'rehis coming week. if you look at georgia and texas, where we have a real good shot. you look at some of them down the line, i think we havembers. i think we'll do very well in ohio, tennessee, arkansas. we're looking at really great i hope we do well. >> mr. trump, we just talked to senator rubio. he's criticized for not going after you more directly. it strikes me he's the oneen't really gone after. you've gone after many of the others in the field and many aren't in the race anymore. when it's time to go after rubio, what will be your line of criticism with him? >> i wouldn't want to tell you. so far, he's been very nice and him. we haven't been in that mode yet, but probably it'll happen. if it doesn't happen, that would

it would be very nice. there is a possibility that will >> as you look at his record and the things he's done as a united states senator, what are your >> he's somewhat inexperienced, young, nice guy. we'll be talking about it at the right time if it comes up. so ome up. i've been accusing senator cruz of doing pretty bad things, i've never seen anybody like this. i've dealt with much, much tougher people over my lifetime,lt with anybody that will lie like he lies. >> why go after cruz if rubio is the one who seems to be de polls and getting closer to you? granted, not close if you look at nevada's results last night. >> that only happened last night. really, cruz was second. it now looking like he's going to be second, based on last night. >> why do you think senator rubio hasn't gone after you?

this has to become a one on one race. we talked to him about it. he hasn't done that. why do you think? do you think he's -- he fearson? >> maybe because 14 people went after me and 14 people now officially are gone. i don't know. after me. he's been very nice, and i think i've been respectful to him. we'll see what happens.s change. occasions. other people have been that way and we go at it. so far, i have an k record. maybe he looks at that. i'm not sure. you'll have to ask him that question. >> we heard you in a piece a few minutes ago calling ted cruz a little baby. you talked about wanting to a protester who was misbehaving at one of your events. you said when you become president, you'll change your tone and temperament. how well you're doing. how your life has gone with the tone and temperament. why would you change that if

>> i have to tellshouldn't be changing it too much. the protester was out of line. he was hitting people, screaming during the speech, and everybody wanted to hear what i was he was screaming horribly. the cops were so gentle, how they took him out. he had a big smile on his face, to the people. they were booing him. he should have been out on a stretcher but they couldn't touchgraceful. nevertheless. >> that style has worked well for you in your life. why change it when you become president? >> i think i might tone it down a little bit.- we had a total of 17 people and now we're down to 6. i may very well change it. right now, it seems to be working >> donald trump, thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> thank you very much. while republican voters caucused across nevada, hillary sanders were taking part in a town hall in south carolina. ahead of saturday's democratic

nbc's kristen welker is in us. good morning. >> good morning to you. senator sanders is trying to blunt secretary clinton's tuesday, they traded sharp jabs at the town hall here. one of the most heated moments came when clinton was transcripts on the speeches she gave to wall street. >> why is there one standard for me and not for everybody else? >> reporter: tough questions tuesday night. again, pressed about releasing transcripts of her paid goldman sachs speeches. >> if people are going to ask for things, everybody should be on a level >> reporter: clinton vowing to release her transjipts s cripts when others follow suit. giving sanders an am happy to release my paid speeches to wall street. here, chris. there ain't none.y's ruling by a federal judge, her top aides

american public. >> i don't believe i ever have. i don't believe i ever say no! just say no! >> is that a question that you would like another shot at answering? >> i'll just say no. both candidates also expressed their support for president obama's plan to close guantanamo. today, clinton will campaign in le sanders will hold a news conference here and then go to super tuesday's stage, where he may have a shot at winning. >> thanks so much. now to washington. new developments in the ongoing battle over the u.s. supreme court. senate majority mccome mc mcconnell said his party won't meet with the nominees presented by presidenthe said the president has a right to nominate, but the senate has rights, as well.
