7:04 am
opportunity to convince people that i'm the right choice to be president. there are still significant number of undecideds across the country in illinois and ohio and north carolina and the other, missouri and other states in play but also in florida so i think it's an opportuty to do that and an opportunity to get people supporting other candidates to give you a second look and also an opportunity to reinvigorate your own supporters. that's what the debates are about. that's what it was about. felt good about the night we have, see if it pays dividends. >> anything you wish you would have said? >> well, look, i give credit to the moderators. it was a policy debate. it was very policy oriented and a lot of topics we could have talked about that we didn't get to, two-hour debate. i give them credit. substantive debate and aim good it was. i wish i would have given out my website marcorubio.com. >> according to most of the

7:06 am
should be the nominee.@ >> the majority, almost two-thirds of republicans do not want donald trump to be our nominee. if you have someone your front-runner and nominee who has a significant percentage of the party rejects you won't win a general election. i think i'm the only candidate left in the race who can unite the republican party and also grow it and so i think that is the reason why ultimately we're going to be the nominee. it's not going to be a traditional way. will take a long time most people anticipated to get there. but it's important and i feel really good about it, especially after tuesday when we win florida what it is going to mean for our campaign. >> senator rubio, thanks for jojoing us this morning. >> thanks, george. five big states on the ballot tuesday. >> a lot at stake. one of the questions talked about last night in thehe debate, the physical violence seen at some of donald trump's rallies. well, now one reporter is saying she was assaulted by trump's campaign manager. abc's tom l lmas has that story in palm beach for us. good morning, tom. >> reporter: amy, good morning to you.

7:10 am
danger, these incidents of viololce to donald trump's campaign? >> well, it seems like aanger to a lot of people at the rallies. i don't think it's actually going to be a political danger in the course of this. i think donald trump said last night, listen, i discourage this. there is some accountability he and his campaign have for creating an environment around these thingshappen. i think going forward they have to do everything possible to stop this kind of thing from happening. sometimes it does, george, as you know, these things happen but politically it's not going to hurt donald trump right now going into tuesday. >> he praised that debate as an elegant debate, remarkably civil. his opponents mostly pulled their punches last night and i guess they're responding to the criticism of last week's debate. was it an overcorrection? >> i was fascinated. we went from some combination of "game of thrones" a a a comedy central roast to "downton n bey" this week in the course of seven days we saw that i think what
7:11 am
trump in the category of the bar isn't very high, this was donald trump's best debate in the course of this. he stayed strained. he stayed disciplined, calm in the course of this even when pushed by ted cruz he stayed this way. i think it's good for donald trump going into tuesday and this, george, we don't know if there will be another debate after this. this may be the last debate. >> good you got all of amy's favorite shows in one answer. >> so true. >> way to go, matthew dowd, thanks very much. all right. we move now to some deadly flooding down south. six states under flood watches this morning. both louisiana and mississippi. in states of emergency as more water is on the way. abc's steve osunsami is in greenville, mississippi, with the very latest. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, to you, amy. the forecast calls for as much as another inch of rain and if you take a look all around me you'll notice that that is an inch that families don't need.
