weill watch teha yo ro forjris a tennessee congress mberndolitical analyst. so is josh barrow. the new york times correspondent. good morning. >> good morning. >> nice to have you with us. this chris christie announcen took so many by surprise when it popped up on our phones yesterday. interesting specifically because some of the terminology he used to describe donald trump in the past. naive. on february 7th, he told a cwd he is just not the right person to b psident of the united states and not the person we want representing our country. what is the impact of not only the flip flop from christie, but the endorsement when it comes to voters. do they care? >> politics has a long history. ronald reagan chose george w. bush. kennyhose johnson.

that wasn't the big surprise. the surprise for some was that christie gives him an imprint of an establishment republican with him. i think most important for christie, i'm sorry, trump, christie will be an important surrogate with him in the early states and ones after that. making the case that rubio is not fit to be president. important day for trump. >> josh, are you surprised that marco rubio is getting more aggressive. talking about makeup application with donald trump. now comments about donald trump wetting his pants. is this a smart tactic or is it too late? >> i don't know. i think it is very late. if he was going to do this, he should have done this months ago. he is trying to be donald trump. mirror? it is really undignified. it is weird. for months, one of the cases is

if the only way to beat him is to act like him? i don't know. we are three days away from super tuesday, it is too late to make the shift. if you are going to beat trump, you have to make him look small and silly. calling him a con artist is a good line. calling out trump university is a good call. you cannot make the argument this quickly. i don't think you can tear it down in three days. >> the question is where was this before? the animation and emotion and pointed attacks. i agree with you. i don't know how this sticks with trump this late in the game. >> is there anything at this point that rubio or cruz can do to make a move? >> i think we will know that by march 15th. the republicans award delegates proportionately. winner takes all on march 15th. >> you have texas in the first. the winner take all. if trump wins texas, a lot of this, before we get to the 15th,

the case that i'm prohibitive frontrunner. it is difficult to stop me. you may see more endorsements. >> what about the democratic side? any path for bernie sanders? >> it is challenging. when you look at the states that is have already voted, states that are favorable to sanders. especially iowa and new hampshire. if sanders was going to just beat hillary nationally, he probably needed to win he iowa by 20 points. he about tied it. he needed to win new hampshire by 30. in south carolina, he can lose it, but lose it by too much. as the map gets more filled in, he continues to underperform, he will not be the nominee. >> two weeks ago. the story was powerful if in nevada. i think the chairman from south carolina said it well. the demographics and the african-american population,

i know he has one surrogate about the remarks she made 20 years ago. the path seems to have narrowed in the last week or two. >> lots to watch. harold ford jr. and josh barro, thank you. >> nbc is the place to be for super tuesday coverage. join lester holt and savannah guthrie of super tuesday here at 10:00. there are new developments in the horrific mass shooting in kansas. the shooter's ex-girlfriend is in custody this morning accused of giving him the gun. nbc's blake mccoy is in kansas this morning. blake, good morning. >> reporter: erica, good morning. let's start with the ex-girlfriend. along, the authorities wanted to know how cedric ford was able to get his hands on the guns. this is a convicted felon whose rap sheet dates back decades. police know this morning who helped him. with the kansas workplace

for free. weight watchers does have their work cut out for them. don't feel bad for oprah. she lost nearly $30 million yesterday, but she bought the stock when it was so cheap, she still made a lot of money on the investment. at the end of the day, she is still eating bread. there is a win-win. >> that's a win. olivia, thank you. dylan dreyer has the check of the forecast on this saturday. good morning. >> good morning. >> eating bread? >> i'm always eating bread. we are looking at a really nice warm up through the weekend. we have the big ridge in the jet stream pushing the cold air up in canada. warmer air from the south. temperatures most likely break records. in minneapolis, the old record 53 degrees in 1896. a forecast of 79. oklahoma city, 73 degrees. cheyenne, wyoming, 65. same for the carolinas and new
