issue head on in last night's debate. >> i do not condone that at all, >> reporter: trump's campaign telling nbc news, we are not involved in the incident and it takes significant measures to ensure the safety of allees. at the often wild said this -- >> you know what would happen at prior rallies like this? stretcher. we have protesters that are bad dudes. they've done bad things. they are swinging. they are really dangerous. >> reporter: now, newout what happened between a reporter for conservative website and crump's campaign manager, accused of grabbing ing bing her arm.

of "meet the press." ahead of tuesday's critical contest. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i want to talk about the alleged altercation in a second,rt with last night's debate. a week or so ago, there was a republican debate that looked like wrestle mania. last night looked like who benefitted most from the civil tone? >> well, what happened was if you looked at our polling and everybody else's polling in that week, marco rubio's ratings took a nosedive. ted cruz saw his ratings go down. donald trump was even hurt by this. individually, and the only guy that benefitted in the last john kasich. individually, i understood why marco rubio laid off. why ted cruz laid off. obviously, this worked for matt, i have to say, i have stunned because this race, donald trump is four days away from putting this race away.nd rubio just sort of take a pass -- again, i get what kasich is doing. it's been working for him.

go in the gutter, they sort of -- they may have overcorrected here. >> rubio, they say this is his last stand before florida's did he do anything, in your opinion, that would help hurt his fortunes around? >> i don't know.hether any of the debates are going to have any impact on trump. it's not about him. i think marco rubio did fine. -- did anything happen with trump where he would come down? that's what rubio has to do. he has a lot of ground to make up. it's not just him getting to 35. he has to bring trump that's what i didn't see last night. i didn't see anything that trump did that made him come back to the pack. >> this issue of violence at some of the trump's rallies, the protester being punched, thed altercation between trump's campaign manager and this reporter, you know, did trump say what he had to say

will not tolerate any violence at my not only is that the only answer, he needs to take it to another level. remember what john mccain did toward the end of the '08 the mccain-palin rallies were exciting, rowdy and a little over the line, a little on edge? mccain stepped up and calmed ithimself. the candidate himself, donald trump at these events, needs to not talk about punching people in the face, singling out theay he does. >> needs to set the tone. >> creating this hostile atmosphere. it is on him to calm things can't -- he's not responsible for how people act. i understand that. but he can set a different tone. to have a moment where he does that, like john mccain did. it helped mccain. i think it would politically help trump if he did it. that's the irony.n his political best interest to do this, not that are there.
