i love you. >> reporter: john kasich boasting a big win at home, denying donald trump a clean sweep and drawing a stark contrast. >> i will not take the low road to the highest office in the land. >> reporter: earlier, vowing to take his campaign to the convention back here in cleveland. >> i'm going to keep doing what i'm doing, because i think people really do appreciate the positive message. >> reporter: trump basking in victory. >> this was an amazing evening, great evening. >> reporter: widening his delegate lead by winning the grand prize of florida, knocking out marco rubio, who was touted as the establishment's best chance to beat the billionaire. trump trawling rubio on twitter hours after he exited the race. >> i believe with all my heart that the winner of the florida primary next tuesday will be the nominee of the republican party. >> thanks, marco, trump vote. we agree.

fractured party, they're going to leave us a fractured nation. >> reporter: ted cruz telling hallie jackson it's a two-man race. >> head to head is a nightmare for donald trump because 2/3 of republicans recognize he's not the best candidate to go against clinton because he loses against hillary clinton. >> reporter: mocks s s s s s s still. >> i have to explain to the people, they don't understand basic physics, basic mathematics, basic whatever you want to call it. >> reporter: surrounded by family and staff, trump gave credit to his campaign manager, who is still under investigation for allegedly grabbing a reporter last week. while tuesday's event was billed as a press >> thank you very much, everybody. thank you. >> reporter: trump left the stage without taking a single

>> one of the statistics out is the fact that donald trump was able to barrel through anti-trump ads. more than $20 millionhim across the five super tuesday states. >> peter alexander, thank you very much. governor john kasich is with us on the phone. good morning. >> congratulations on your win. this was a big one. i know you were hoping to win. it was a must-win for you. is any part of your feeling thisigh of relief? >> well, no, not really. i mean, really, it's a good accomplishment. i beat trump by 11 points. it's remarkable, isn't it? lived in ohio, came in here and trashed me, and he lost. let me tell you, neitherr trump can win the general election. you know, they can't come into ohio with the philosophies they have and win. you can't win ohio, you can't be what we'll be doing is we're going to now start to get the

rise around the country. when people look at my record of job creation in washington, job in ohio, bringing people together, reminding people we're americans before we're republicans and democratsng common sense solutions, we've been able to do well. we have a ways to go, to make sure we're going to be traveling everywhere. we'll have a national i'll be the nominee. >> i'll ask you about that. i swore there would be no math, but if you win every delegate from here on out, youeet the magic number of 1,237, which means it would have to be the result of a contested convention. can you explain to people who support you, how to pull that off? >> nobody is going to get enough delegates to win at the convention. everyone is going to fall short. that was what was so big about ohio. for those people that wanted to have some sort of common sense in this election,

could raise the bar, you know, i take the low road to the highest office. if you see these guys fighting on the stage, it was absolutely unbelievable, what was going nobody is going to have enough delegates. when we get there, the delegates will have to figure out, number one, who can run the country, and, three, who can win. >> nobody is going to have the required number of delegates, that's your prediction. one person who, can get the required number of delegates, and that's donald trump. let me ask you this way: would you be willing to activelyh ted cruz and his campaign to make sure that donald trump does not get to 1,237 and then take your chances at the well, look, i don't have any intention of doing anything other than going out across the country and telling people about my terms of whether campaigns

i don't get in the middle of that. i'm not a political operative. i'm a but as the guy on the masthead, you wouldn't be involved in that discussion? >> look, i can tell you, allou about this, matt, is i'm out there running to the president. i'm not out to stop donald trump or stop anybody else. by winning yesterday in dealt him a very, very big blow to being able to have the number of delegates. if you want to talk about mathematics and you want to talk about probability, and really look at it hard -- tell you the biggest probability, they can't win a general election for either of we have. >> let's end on saying ohio. >> i appreciate you guys. came out when hampshire and i said we'd keep going. i appreciate the people of ohio for allowing me to do this.

record, i think we'll rise. god bless our country. >> governor, thank you very much for being with us. on the democratic side, it was a huge night for hillary clinton, as we said. she swept all five contests. a clinching the nomination. clinton used her victory speech to take direct aim at the republican front runner, donald trump. nbc's kristen welker is in on that. good morning. >> good morning to you. secretary clinton wakes up this morning as the strong democratic front runner, afteran last week. she proved last night she can compete in every corner of the country. it was a major blow to senator bernie to the nomination got a whole lot tougher. >> hillary! >> reporter: this morning, hillary clinton celebrating a clean his is another super tuesday for our campaign.

ingdefyingion expectations. the buck yn eye stategnificant victory in what was expected to be a tight race. >> we're closer to securing the democratic party nomination and winning this election in >> reporter: overnight, clinton managed to seal the deal in two more states. the apparent winner in missouri and illinois. despite a sanders adveritch, clinton carried three states by double digits. in phoenix, arizona, no signs of letting up. >> don't let people tell you that you can't think big. >> reporter: or giving up. >> next week, arizona has a election. we will win if the voter turnout is high. let's make it high. thank you all very reporter: but clinton is also looking to arizona.

spanish language ad. and leaving setting her sights on donald trump, the man who may be her next competitor. >> our commander in chief had to be able to defend our not embarrass it. >> campaign officials acknowledge the steep odds. in order for sanders to com he has to win big states like new york and pennsylvania, and winning them by huge mar zwrin margins. still, he can stay in the race as long as he wants to. >> kristen, thank you very much. let's dive further into this with chuck todd. nbc's political director and "meet the press." nicolle wallace, political analyst, and mark, the managingf "bloomberg politics." give me your headline from last night. >> i think you'll hear a deafening roar in the republican

brokered l take place at the same time that trump has done nothing but strengthen himself. there is a disconnect between the conversation the having and the reality. >> the republican establishment died last night. the republican establishment is shockingly willing now to let donald trump be the resigned to it, and they'll focus on trying to hold the house and the senate. >> let me pick up on that. nicolle, we talk about theef at the table. the bargaining, the anger. >> she does it all on a daily >> exactly. >> as our establishment republican, is it acceptance phase? if establishment republicans are saying, we accept it, does that mean we're accepting we're to lose the white house in 2016? >> i think it is a healthy acceptance of the will of the voters. our voters are speaking at the top of their lungs, and they're doing so at the polls, appropriate and civilized place. ted cruz had a terrible night last night.

the republican party start to around him, until he lost everything last night. >> john kasich, he'd been hanging around on the sidelines, mark, for a long time. he steps up and wins his home. does he get some kind of slingshot effect from that, that carries him further? >> i think he has 72 hours to show the establishment and thehat he's a viable person here. his argument about the general election is powerful, but the delegates is more he can't win a majority now, and it'll be up to cruz and kasich to say, they're the stop trump movement. not meetings in not campaign ads. it's not web campaigns. can either of them stop trump? i'm spectacle but they have a >> on the "times" this morning, yes, trump and clinton had big nights last night, but the resounding triumphs matched an reality, most americans

>> the most striking numbers in the exit polls were -- and i look at the battleground states- ohio, florida and north carolina. a full third of republican primary voters, when asked if trump and clinton are the nominees, will you be or consider a third party, over 40% of republicans in ohio said third party. 39% of north carolina republicans said third party. republicans. look, there is an anti-trump appetite out there. there's just no messenger to tap into it. was horrendous last night in his attempt to put the party together. >> thanks for setting me up. i'll say two words. give me your first fast. the two words are paul ryan. >> last gasp. if the convention blows up, he'll be the republican d his window. >> part of what's happening now, acceptance that trump will be

>> thank you very much. meanwhile, i want to bring up something that happened on this show on tuesday. donald trump apparently himself when he joined both us and our friends over at abc by phone. >> this is what happened. their show. they asked him about thatement that showed women trump. here's what he said when asked about that ad. >> have you seen that and make of it? >> i have seen it, and it was romney deal. >> a couple minutes later, heon this show. here's what he had to say. >> obviously, i have not seen the ad, so i have would have to see it. i've heard about the not seen the ad. >> does this matter? when a guy contradicts himself within a couple of minutes, do people care? >> pre-trump, that the thing that tripped up a campaign. took two days to explain it to

in the post-trump era, heimself within a news cycle. which was within the hour of the morning shows. >> hour? five >> yeah. >> this is politics in the age of trump. the fact checkers are irrelevant irrelevant. in trump's power, in his trust he has with the supporters, thest trump more than the media. >> you asked before about whether republicans were resigning themselves to losing the general election if trump is the nominee. they believe hillary clinton is that trump could beat her. part of what they're drawing on is the fact that trump flies above stuff like this and maybe he would againstin the general election. >> we live in a post-truth political world. donald trump is the poster child. >> we have gone past our time here. >> you're all in therapy with me now. >> exactly. >> we're eating into the nightly news's ave more in the next

people didn't vote for trump the republican side. they'd consider a third party candidate. 1/3 of the voters said they'd be satisfied if the race came trump versus clinton in the general election. nearly half of those who voted for someone other than donald trump said that they wouldsider a third party candidate going forward. in ohio, where we are right now, obviously going to be crucial coming up in the general election. not even 2/3 -- nearly 2/3 consider a third party candidate. only 3 in 10 said they would be satisfied with a trump versus clinton race come november. amongry clinton with a big night. into her numbers in illinois, look where her strengths are. the key groups supporting cl clinton. a large number of african-americans, 70%. did well with older democrats. sanders still does very well with the democrats under the age

white voters. clinton showing strength with married women. also very strong with thosed that experience is one of the key issues they're looking for with a candidate. >> peter, thank you very much. ohio governor john win in his home state raises the chances of a rare contested convention. what is that and what would it look like? here to break it down is political correspondent steve kornacki. good morning to you. >> morning. >> you hear contested convention, brokered convention used are they the same? >> brokered convention is the old term. back in the days when you didn't have the primaries. delegations from states would arrive at the conve they'd be controlled by a boss or a king maker. the king makers would get together behind closed door, hash out a deal, tell the to vote. at an open convention, the delegates would make the decision themselves in the light of day.

1,237, the number of delegates the nomination. they hold the first ballot anyway, just to prove it? >> mostly. however, the wild card in this, is if donald trump is really close to the number and not quite over, you also can about 150 probably unbound delegates. agents. if trump is really close coming into the first vote, if he picksthe unbound, he gets over. otherwise, everybody has to vote the way they were told by the >> there are a lot of conversations going on now. >> right. throughout the spring, even the states that had the primaries already, they'll have theirion where they pick the delegates who will vote. >> after the first ballot, nobody has the required number of delegates, can anybody now or a second ballot? >> technically, yeah, though it's more complicated. some of the rules in some of the states tell their delegates, even on the second ve to vote the way your

not every delegate is a free agent but a lot are. beyond the second ballot, you're in a scenario where basicallylegate is going to be a free agent. historically, that's when the white knight candidates emerge. >> paul ryan could walk in and say, i'm ready if you want me? the second. >> how many rounds? how long does this go on? >> it could go -- there's no limit. it goes until there is a winner. in the old days, you'd have dozens of ballots. woodrow wilson, i think it took 40 ballots and democrats settled on him. wasn't in contention at the beginning. you get that far in, crazy. >> if you get the candidate who gets the come nomination because of aention, how does that impact that candidate's chances in a general election? >> there are zero examples in the television age of american zero examples in the age when

determined the delegates. if the republicans went with somebody besides trump, and trump comes into the with the most delegates but not the majority, you'd have an angry donald trump and thousand or so delegates andn trump voters who would be threatening not to vote for that party. >> a lot of tension in cleveland, ohio. steve kornacki, thank you very let's get a check of the weather from al. >> we have great restaurants in cleveland i can take you to. fantastic. although, unfortunately, we're going to be flying throudwest from cleveland to chicago all the way up to minnesota minnesota, minneapolis, high advisories. airport delays in minneapolis, des moines, chicago, indianapolis and detroit. the winds are going to be gusting upwards of 40 tos per hour. and we're going to be watching snow developing in the up of wisconsin. storms will come to an end, but
