>> is that the only campaign that has beaten donald trump and the only campaign that can beat donald trump is this campaign. >> reporter: trump taking his at senator cruz. >> he's like a baby compared to some of the people i have to -- he is like a little baby. soft, weak little baby comparison but for lying he's the best i've ever seen. he's the best. >> reporter: cruz firing back. all day tuesday making the case it's unclear what trump even stands for. >> and, frankly, i'm not willing to gamble my daughter's future with donald trump. the truth of the matter is donald became president nobody knows what the heck he would do. he doesn't know what the heck he would do. >> reporter: this as senator marco rubio continues to win endorsements but acknowledging the field is too splintered. >> first of all this choice remains multicandidate. ben carson and ted cruz and

hard core of republicans who do not want donald trump the nominee. as long as they're being divided up for three or four people, it's good for donald. that's not going to continue. >> reporter: they'll drop out then. >> i think voters will take care of that. >> trump predicting a rubio/trump rumble could be coming. >> yeah, rububio. who, by the way, i've been very nice to. i've been very nice -- people say why are you so nice, because he hasn't hit me. when he does, he will -- you'll see what happens. >> reporter: now, one good sign for senatomarco rubio is that he ran strongest among caucus goers after received high profile endororsement from party leaders. there could be sign enough time f for rubio to catch up to trump to make the argument he's in nominee. he has one more debatate before super tuesday george. >> okay, tomom, thanksery much. let's bring it to donald trump. mr. trump, congratulations on

third in a row. the drudge report, want to show it to everyone. it says you are the nominee right now. are they right? >> wel i hope see. we certainly have an advantage, george. it was a great night. it was a great day and we were looking pretty good, i think, any standard. >> you know, you're winning despite the fact you have taken many positions at odds witith the republican party, supported democrats in the past, even more you're winning -- it's remarkable winnining again a united front of elected officials. want to show this chart from fivethirtyate. you have 0. what does that tell you about the republican party today and will it mama it haer to unite the party? >> i he many endorsements but i don't go out and seek them. now as of yesterday people were calling and a lot of people were calling and i'll have many endorsements but it's not something i want to work for to be honest with you because it's a waste of time. endorsements mean very little. we have as you know, we have

it's a lot of work. you know, they want meme to go t certain area, have a big news conference, i would rather be with the people and rather work with the people and get the kind because those numbers are amazing. we won with every singleroup, every single group. men, women, evangelicals, we won with all sorts of education, if you talk about education at the highest level to a lower level we won with everything, george. >> it was a pretty sweeping victory st night. piece from tom llamas. marco rubio making the same point with robin coming upup that nobody knows what you would do, how you would actually accomplish your goals as president. they're ying you haven't laid out the details. can you tell us right now what are e the firsthree things you would do on day one in a trump white house? >> well, the first thing i'd do is knock out some of the executive orders signed by our president. especially the one on the border

country like swiss cheese. i'll work out immediately to knock out obamacare and start taking care of our vets and military. >> you haven't said how w you'll replace it. >> our vets have been absolutely treated horribly and we're going to take care of our vets. that's been a very, very big part of my campaign, the vets. >> making the point you haven't laid out specifically how you're going to achieve those goals. how you'll build the wall or replace obamacare. >> i've been specific in terms of the wl and in terms of obamacare, what i'm doing is very specific, whether we use health care savings accounts and that could happen because a lot of people are liking it a lot, obamacare is falling out under its own weight dead by 2017. people are not signing up for it. it's a disasters. the rates and premiums going up p by 45%, 55%, 65% and we'll have it at a fraction of the cost and

i'm a very specific person, believe me. >> finally, mr. trump, have you given any thought to who your vice president nominee might be if, indeed, you are the nominee and whether it would be an elected official or a more outside the box candidate. >> well, i haven't given thought. because i want to get over the line. we'll still not be over the line. i think we'll do fantastic and amazing what you're looking at and some states where already i'm very close in texas and, you know, you have a senator from texas, i'm leading in -- this will be the following week butut florida is looking fantasticall ohio is looking great. you look at the different numbers and thdifferent states, we just got numbers in on georgia. doing fantastically well, arkansas, so we're looking very, very strong, i think, george and we look forward to it. it's going to be an interesting week. working, many of the states and it's going to be an interesting week. >> we got to go. can you give me one name? >> of a vice president? >> uh-huh. >> too early, george.

know. maybe not the first but you'll be one of the first to know. >> mr. trump, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. >> as you alluded to earlier this morning i spoke with senator marco rubio and i began by asking him about his second place finish in nevada. >> we always want to do better. i lived there 25 years ago, 30 years ago and it was a great experience. obviously the city and state has changed a lot. we love coming back. we have a lot of family members there but always want to do better. we feel good about our second place finish. of course, you always want to be first but this is an unusual year and the nevada caucus is different than any other vote we'll see around the country, new experience and a lot of people turned out. a lot happened there. i congratulate donald. he had a good showing. we picked up significant number of delegates there and we move on to the other states. we have a big week next tuesday. >> it was another big victory for donald trump and he said that many are wondering why you

even he has said that you haven't hit him and we know that the next debate is cing up. do you expect to be -- are y going to change your tactics and be more aggressive towards donald trump. >> yeah, i don't understand this. i know there's a craving in the media for people to attack each other but i've never been a campaign that attacks people. noif i've been attacked i responded and we set the record straight aut policy differens. i pointed out the things donald is for that i don't agree with. but we'll have a debate tomorrow night and if there are policy differences we'll talk about those. if he says something i don't agree with like he did i in the last debate about george bush being responsible for 9/11'll correct him on it. >> youid say the other d day that it seems like voters are gravitating toward the one who ishe angriest. you didn't mention any names but many people assumed that you were r referringo donald trump. were you? >> well, sure, his rhetoric is one that taps into that anger? i share in that anger. it's one of the reasons why i ran for the senate five years ago. i was really upset about the

party to d do anythi about it but anger alone won't solve our problems. you also have to know what you're going to do about it. running for president voters need to know what you're going to do and donald hasn't outlined exactly what he'll do. he'll tell us what the result will be but reses to explain how it's going to happen. >> there have been four contests so far across the state. various parts of the country. and you have yet to come out on top. with super tuesday coming out, what do you need to do. >> i think what people need to understatand abouthese contests between now and march 15th, all are places that award delegates which is how the nomination is decided. it's not decided by how many states you win but how many delegates you have and awarding them proportionately. march 15th, you're in ohio and floridthat award them all at once. that's where you have to start winning states and we feel very confident about where we'll be come march 15th. >> you picked up five delegates yesterday. and you really picked up many more key endorsements from the

but we've seen with both republicans and democrats thatat voters aren't really embracing the establishment, politics as usual. are you concerned that being that type of backing may actually work against you and your campaign? >> in order for the republican nominee to become the president of the united states, it has to be someone that can bring the republican party together and then grow it, as well. and what we're showing is the ability to bring it together, to bring together all kinds of people within the republican party including some for whom i wasn't the first choice. >> thank you so much, sir. >> thank you. thanks so much. >> and it should be another lively debate tomorrow night. >> super tuesday coming up. right now donald trump ahead in all those states with the possible exception of texas. >> that's it. we move on to those severe storms slamming the south. at leaeast 27 toadoes reported and d linzie jis is on the sne in pensacola, florida. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morng, george. the devastation here is incredible. a tornado ripping through this apartment complex throwing debris over r these ca and look

we bringng inabc's chief legal analyst dan abrams. we know the stalker already convicted in criminal court. how strong is this civil suit? >> it's a very strong civil suit against him but he doesn't have money so the question is going to be, how strong a cas is it against the franchise owner, against the management company, et cetera. that where you're talking about the potential for deep pockets and the potential of a payout. this is really a case where we're going to talk about how much and who pays it more t than was there any wrongdoing. >> when we say how much, she's asking for 7$75 million. >> $75 million. she had been asking for 10 million and increased it to 675 million. keep in mind for context here on average most wrongful death cases in civil court pay out $3 million to $5 million so when you're asking for $75 million in a case like this, it's an enormous number. and certainly i would thi more than she's going to get but, again, the question is going to be who has to pay it and do they

though there's no question that he, the stalker is the pson wh is primarily responsible. >> which the hotel said this is terrible what happened.. put it all on him. what is their defense. >> the question is was it negligent. did ththey do something. the defense says, look, he fooled us. he was an iurance executive. he knew how to play the game and k the right room. her position is going to be, no, no, no, they should never have allowed had him to be in that room next to me and they should have found that peephole a lot earlier. >> as ryan said a couple morore weeks and -- >> absolutely. >> thank you, dan. we move on to that florida woman behind bars for hiring a hit man to kill her husband. dalia dippolito is serving 20 years for the crime but now she's back this court taking the stand for the first time in a new bid for freedom. abc's linsey davis is tracking the case. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, george. dippolito claims she was not trying to kill her husband. she says she was simply caught on tape discussing it because she was trying to get an acting job. her lawyer claims she was set up

>> is your husband michael? >> reporter: the real act investigators say was dippolito's reaction to these south florida police officers telling her this lie. >> i'm sorry to tell you, ma'am, he's been killed. >> no. >> reporter: but her lawyer claims the policeere setting her up for an appearance on the reality show "cops." >> whether you like dalia dippolito or not, she's entitled to the same constitutional rights as you and i and this case is about a police department that tossed her under the bus for purposes of getting fame on a a "cops" tv show. >> reporter: the boynton police say we are confident we have given the state attorney's office sufficient evidence to meet the state's burdeden and playing off the line dippolito said in that undercover video her ex-husband tol police that he is 5,000% sure she was trying to kill him but she's sticking to her story. >> she is. >> it was just ann acting job. >> she was convicted. okay, linsey, thanks very much.

normal -- because now you guys have taken a class and modernized it for the new audience. can you stream the whole season. >> well, you know, i think there's some fun stuff we were able to go like with carlying through some story lines that didn't have to be neatly tied up within 28 minutes like the old show so you can kind of watch a few episodes at a time but parents are also talking about that they're goingo dole it out. you finish your homework and do your chores you can watch an episode of "fuller house"." >> can we mention this guy. you're traveling w with aig furry dog. there was a big furry dog in the show. the dog is plow everywhere. same dog, different dog, i just got to know >> well, could it not be the same dog. time has passed. >> he's aged even better than john tame moss. >> all right. i don't me to bring everybody down let's go to the clip. >> we planned this whole night for you. you have to go out and have some fun. >> i have fun.

a delight to have you both with us. thank you. [ applause ] and there's no applause sign. that came from the heart. so appreciate theetter that you all put outvery year anand, bill, you decided to do something different this year to direct it to teens like we have here in the studio with us right now. what was the purpose behind that. >> well, the initial ipiration came from high school newspaper where they interviewed us and asked us what superpower would we like to have? and we were kind of surprised when melinda talked about time and i talked about energy, that those really do relate to the inequity that we've got to solve in the world, and so it's the young generation that's got the innovation and perspective that will help drive what probly will take a generation or more to fully achieve? that's the purpose of having

generation, more energy. your superpower, more time as it applies to women around the world. >> if you poll young teens today, they think that women are going to be different in the home 15 years from now, different than their granother's generation but it's actually not true especially when you look at this unpaid work that women do at home. >> and that disparity in time impacts all of us, doest it? >> it absolutely does. and when i talk about unpaid work, it's some of the caring things we want to do at home like care for our children and the elderly but things like chores and if you are snding your time particularly in the developing world carrying water, chopping wood or even in the u.s. doing laundry or chores it means you don't reach your potential. >> we want to get some of the solutions you are suggesting but fit, bill, more energy. tells why that is your superpower you want. >> well, energy is probably more fundamental than people realize. life started really improving a few hundred years ago when we

you can just flip that light switch, that's pretty magical. we all take that for granted and yet there's s several blion people who don't have it. >> for you both let's lay out some ideas and solutions especially as the next generations here in front and happening on every single word that you're saying, so when it comes to more time, what are proposing. >> well, first of all recognize the amount of time women are paying on unpaid work then reduce it and redistribute it inside of the household. if we do those three things both at a policy level and directly in our homes, it fundamentally trance fors society because you open up women's potential. >> so where is gabe? okay, gabe, what's your question. >> i have a question for bi. so, we all know about wind and solar technologies. but i'm wondering, what other technologies are you excited about that are less well known. >> well, it's a very good question. wind and solar, if we could bring the price down even more

store that energy because it's intermittent that's one path to a solution, another path is instead of taking the sun and making electricity which is hard to store, to directly make gasoline, so it may come in a form that we don't recogni as one of our key sources right now. >> as i'm a citizen of a developing country, pakistan, i've seen girls go through a lot of obstacles this their careers so i wanted to ask how do you suggest them to overcome this problem of energy and how do you think that would help them succeed? >> first, recognizing this a problem and using your voice and political participation. i would say in terms of reducing this inequity, go into stem fields whether it's science, math, technology. innovations that help women spend less time cooking or less time gathering water or washing machine that works more efficiently and lastly, i would say redistribute the workload in

you need to talk with your partner even before youe married about whose roles and responsibilities, what are the hidden expectations of this work. >> you saw her husband was looking at her as she was responding, nodding. >> we've had that conversation. >> thank you very much for your question. nolan, you'll have the final question. >> so how can the simple act of turning off the faucet or even the lights greatly affect how we save ournergy on a larger scale? >> well, i think it's important we're aware that americans use twice as much energy per person than even the other well-to-do countries and so if you get that mind-set of how do we conserve it you help with the local water shortage. u save money, so awareness is where it all beginsnd conservation is a piece of what weeed to do. >> oh, well, bill and melinda gates, thank you very much. thank you all. the students were just, i mean, leaning in. >> gat conversation.

like that and it's just, boy, what would your superpowerbe? just think about it. you can read bill and melinda
