they're setting their sights on super tuesday. >> peter, thank you very much. donald trump is on the phone with us now live. mr. trump, good d morning. >> let me completely reverse my line of questioning from yesterday. i said, is it possible the attacks coming at you from other republicans have slowed your momentum. you won three of the four contests yesterday. is it possible the weight of theually helping you? >> i think so. i mean, you see the numbers i got. in mississippi, i love the and happened. the numbers were astronomical. i'm surprised at it, matt. i'll be honest, i've never seen ads. i mean, they came at me. i heard what you said about, somebody said, what are you going to start now? last week, they million on negative ads. >> the more they call you a con man and a fraud, the more your

>> that's one of the what i did last night. i brought out a magazine which i have. mitt romney got up last week and talked about the stakes.ve a great stake division. we have a great magazine. we have a great -- all of the things he talked about, you he went through a list of things. i don't want to even do that, but what he said was a lie. it was fraudulent, and he . i understand where he's coming from. he had a very horrible loss, and he hasn't recovered from it. >> you're making me hungry. >> i know., the truth is, you had a loss and he hasn't recovered. we have to recover as a party. this tremendous positive energy in the party. ng to the polls. 65% up. millions of millions of people, some people have never voted before, and they're votingp. they're voting in the party. >> that's a good way to get to the next question. on the election nights you've

i can unify the party. yet, you do have thisent of the party, orthodox conservative, traditional republicans, who are terrified at the prospect of youry. to the extent it is on you to do so, how can you unify? how can you get them over to your side? >> okay, something going on that's the biggest political story all over the world, and it's what's happening with the republican party. you see it better than anybody. where millions of people are voting in the primaries, millions more than four years ago. 65% more.ocrats are down 30% and 35%. no spirit behind hillary and there never will be. there's nothing to be spirited t. what happens is we have something that if we could embrace it, we're going to have a massive victory in november. instead of all of thisf, i was at the tournament

and i turn on the television and every time there is a was a negative ad in florida about me. a horrible and false ad. these are false ads. these are disgusting, false adstten by people that are absolutely haters. if this party came together, matt, nobody could beat it. that's one of the things i paul ryan called me, such a smart call, such a wonderful call. >> mr. trump, as always, thanks we appreciate it. >> thank you very much, matt. >> wif the e have the wines, steaks in there, lot of things. >> branding has been accomplished. as we mentioned, the upset of the night wept nt to sanders stunning hillary clinton in. will it reshape the democratic race and the delegate race? kristen welker has more on that. >> good morning to you. secretary clinton wakes up with more delegates this morning, but it is senator sanders who has

upset in michigan.in is significant because it shows he can be competitive in these larger, more diverse states. a lot of folks asking thisly what happened. there are indications this morning that clinton's ground game in michigan may have been lacking. sanders' message resonated. he hammered clinton forng nafta, unpopular in michigan and throughout the midwest. even sanders seemed surprised by the win, speaking to in a hastily arranged press gathering after the results came? >> what we have done is created the kind of moe mentum that we need to win.n, this has been a fantastic night in michigan. we are very grateful. >> we're getting new poll numbers out this t's take a look at florida. secretary clinton firmly in the lead. she topped senator sanders, 62% to 32%. in ohio, she's leading 52% to

this democratic race just got a everywhere. >> kristen, thank you so much. chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press," and steve kornacki. fellas, good morning to you. >> 's start with the democrats. the michigan victory for sanders, did it seem a surprise?t to sanders and his team. what does it mean for momentum and the delegate mass? >> the delegate mass, it didn't do anything. got more delegates because of her dominance in mississippi. he actually lost ground. but it does mean something in momentum.reminder to hillary clinton, she has work to do to gain trust of sort of the spectacle part of the democratic comes to trade deals, this or that. the bitter she etter she learns this now,

after her on the same issues. sanders won in michigan, he can win in ohio. there are northern tierhe can do well in. let's switch to the republicans. donald trump had a big night. marco rubio had a bad day with a couple of third and fourth place. if florida wasn't on the calendar next tuesday, is there any way he could stay in the race? >> the performance was so bad for rubio.mal circumstances, a candidate in that situation might think about, do i even want to contest my home state? this is the problem ford why it was a big win for trump last night. early voting is already underway in florida. tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands ofe books in florida. if marco rubio were to say, i'm going to get out of the race, let the party unite around ted cruz, even if it united fromnt forward around cruz, wouldn't be enough to stop trump in florida.

you get 99 delegates if you trump is in a good spot right now. >> how is the effort, the t to take away florida, take away ohio, how is that looking this morning? >> he has a better shot at ohio than florida. john kasich is a sittingvernor. you get the sense that florida republicans aren't comfortable rallying around rubio. but the ohio republicans are comfortable to rally around ut it's still not looking good. kasich finished third, not second in michigan. no extra bump. of course, what we described withkasich nor rubio got momentum out of last night going into their home states. it's trump with the momentum. >> do we look at pollingoing forward, since there seemed to be bumps in the road? >> we are under sampling, i are doing it, under ump --
