think about that, for president? >> reporter: also, a new buzzfeed report about an off the record interview the "new york times" conducted with trump, where he is rumored to have revealed flexibility in his hard-line immigration stance. his rivals demanding it be released immediately. >> that tape can clear itp and the voters deserve to know. >> reporter: even mittomney tweeted, another bombell? what is he hiding? trump responding. >> things are negotiatablee negotiable. shorter. >> building it is not >> no. >> watch the backlas to be louder and more public. one republican senator said he will not support donald trump if he is the nominee. wouldn't vote for him, saying conservatives will need to find a third party option. > peter alexander, thank you.

side. a strong showing today and tonight could all but end the democratic race. nbc's andrea mitchell is in miami with that part of the story. >> good morning, matt. bernie sanders is about to vote in burlington, vermont. you see a live shot of e polling place in burlington. hillary clinton is so far ahead in the biggest states voting today. she's already looking beyond bernie sanders to a general election matchup. her strategy against the most likely republican nominee, donald trump. >> republicans want to sell the sa snake oil. >> reporter: today as voters head to the polls, hilary kinlary clinton trying to clid fisolidify her lead and bernie sanders trying to hold on. clinton is crushing sanders 2:1 in texas, tennessee and georgia.

sanders topping clinton. >> it is time for massachusetts to lead the political revolution. >> reporter: in massachusetts, sanders' backyard, they're locked in a tight race. >> they've been after me for 25 years and i'm still standing. >> reporter: hours before super tuesday, the state department released the final batch of e-mails from clinton's private server she used as secretary of state. it's a place republicans vow to hit her on. >> we'll be talking about those e-mails every moment of every day. >> reporter: now, clinton is turning her focus to a potential matchup with donald trump, who she and her husband think is her most likely opponent. >> america never stopped being great. we have to make america whole. >> the clintons think their best case against trump is to point to his controversial remarks and

clinton has called for love and kindness and telling crowds, instead of building walls, we need to tear down barriers. they have no illusions of how toh it'll be if they run against this unconventional republican candidate. >> andrea, thank you very much. we'll turn to chuck todd, nbc's political director and moderator of "meet the press." >> good morning. >> i've seen the polls you've seen. take me through what you expect trump's night to look like. >> it is possible that trump wins every single primary and caucus tonight other than texas. he could win every one by five or more points. >> we wake up tomorrow, show me what you think things could look like in terms of the delegate count. >> this is a conservative estimate we've put together. he has a 60 delegate lead. he could build well or a 100 delegate lead. this is a conservative estimate. if he's closer to 40% in all the polls, this number could be well over 300. what we don't know is who is

this will matter tonight. >> a lot of attention on marco rubio. what could happen with him tonight? will he win any contests at all? you t tnk trump will win most. >> i think we're going to be 0 for 16 for marco rubio. what they will say is a good night i i if he's in a close second in virginia. if he can beat cruz here maybe pull a surprise up there in minnesota. that's what he's hoping to do. >> you talk about these two states. they play prominently in the strot strategy of ted cruz. but you add this state, as well. >> ted cruz has been spending all his time in texas. if he loses texas tonight, he really has no way to go. he'd like to pull off not just texas but maybe an oklahoma, arkansas. they border texas. he's been spending a lot of money. he hopes to win in alaska. if he can win more than one state, it's a big deal for him. then good-bye, marco. >> hillary clinton coming off a huge win in saturday in south carolina.

>> pretty much a dominant here in the south. i think the question is going to be, does she pull off a minnesota? does she pull off a massachusetts? i say that if she does that, they're knockout blows to bernie sanders. sanders is targeting the states with the least diverse electorate. three up here plus oklahoma and the colorado caucuses. if she can sweep the south and win one or two of these, bernie sanders has a problem. >> this leads us back to the desk. nicolle wallace is joining savannah savannah. >> for the republican party, for years, there was always the talk about, there are fissures in the republican party between movement conservives and the establishment. now it's a gaping crack. what happens? what happens to the republican party if trump emerges tonight and he's the nominee? >> in 2012, the rules changed about how you get delegates, to make it easier for an establishment front runner to seal up the nomination. >> excellent. good job.

well done. there's a reason the cououry wants to kill the republican establishment. trump has this locked up at thiss point because of theules put in place in 2012. >> irony alert. >> right. >> what is the reality of a third-party candidate? not talking about trump, but an actual republican who might say, i can put the party back together? >> you can't find anperative in washington who doesn't have their own scenario. it's mitt romney. it's rick perry. constitution party. it's -- maybe they can comen n commandeer the libertarian vote. if you want to run an independenen campaign, you have to start tomorrow. michael bloomberg's people, who are seriously looking at this, they have basically said, if he doesn't make the decision to go tomorrow, as in march 2nd, you can't get on the ballot in the state of texa

this, they have to start now. they can't wait another two weeks. >> take us inside your watching party. what state will you be watching closely tonight? >> i'll be sober because i'll be here. you can't find a clear headed republican who ss there is a realistic third-party scenario. they are moving fromort of depression to acceptance on the reality of trump is our party's standard bearer. i think that i am watching for this turn toward acceptance. trump is going to have a huge night. trump is all but certainly the republican nominee. i think what you hear republicans say privately is that they were able, a couple weeks ago, to imagine the scenario where he started to settle in and mature in the role. they're alarmrm that the refusal to acknowledge the news cycle cycles -- you gave him a chance

it makes him run against clinton daunting. >> the clinton versusrump race, democrats were laughing saying, if it's trump,that's great. they're not saying that again. >> they say, okay, republicans didn't g after this guy early. they know they have to engage early. here's what it means for us as a country, nasty, low, early, often. it's going to be a race to the bottom. >> by the way, roker commandeered his monitor back. >> roker. >> that was short-lived. >> i'll raise your touchscreen, buddy. >> thank you so much. stay with nbc news throughout the day and night. complete coverage of super tuesday. we'll be will lester holt tonight for prime time coverage as the results come in at 10:00 p.m. eastern. i'll take a double latte, chuck. >> could some storms impact vovong tonight?

center stage on capitol hill today. the head of the fbi and apple's top lawyer will appear before congress as apple celebrates a ss a ruling in a similar case. pete williams has more. good morning. >> it is apple's first court victory, with the judge ruling the government cannot force the company to open a locked iphone. the ruling came late monday from a federal judge in brooklynver a dispute in an iphone belonging to a suspected drug dealer. this is a separate case from the tug of war over the iphone used by one of the san bernardino attackers. but the legal issues are basically the same. the judge ruled the relief the government seeks is unavailable because congress has considered legislation that would give the same result. phone companies allowing the government to tap into their systems when it has a search warrant. congress decided not to cover

google under the law. the judge said requiring apple to bypass security mess sureasures that the company markets to its customers would be something offensive. he said it's beyond the government's power. later today, the fbi director james comey and apple's general council appear before a house committee. they both agree that this problem will get worse unless congress draws bound are iye -- boundaries lines. >> you have the ruling in brooklyn, the san bernardino case is going forward. they're not legally bound but what is the practical effect of what happened in brooklyn on the san bernardino case? >> the legal matter is the brooklyn ruling is not binding on any other court, but it is the first decision on the issue and it does give apple a leg up. it'll be arguing in court in california later this month why it should not have to help the fbi open that san bernardino phone, savannah. >> pete williams in washington, thank you. turn to california now where the search is on for a

overnight after a bizarre police chase and standoff. nbc's steve patterson is in los angeles. >> police with the california highway patrol say this guy is still out there, escaping after an hour's long police pursuit with an ending you have to see to believe. >> reporter: low speed, high stakes. >> all over the paint, riding the shoulder, trying to get past the traffic. >> reporter: play by play from the air, calling a dangerous game on the ground. >> he's not going to get very far. you can run but you can't hide. >> reporter: a notion the suspect would test, starting east of los angeles. police say the suspect kidnapped his girlfriend and their two young children, boys ages 1 and 5, heading south in a hummer. police pursuing, just not very fast. >> he's not breaking a a speed records. >> reporter: the chase spanning multiple highways, a couple hours, 40 miles south through orange county.

responsibility of her stalker, michael barrett. and, two, thisas not irreparably damaged her career. >> reporter: this morning, erin andrews returns to the stand to face cross-examination, questions from the lawyers for the hotel who she says was at fault. >> they called me and said, you're putting this man that requested to be next to you. is this okay? they could have stopped this. i'm so angry. so mad. >> reporter: in emotional testimony, andrews broke into tears numerous times on the stand as she told the jurors how the naked videos taken by michael barrett turned her life upside down. >> i was screaming, dad, i'm naked all over the internet. i felt so ashamed. i was so embarrassed. somebody sent me a still of the video to my twitter or someone screams something from the

>> reporter: barrett appeared in two taped depositions. andrews left the courtroom before they were shown. barrett said he snuck past a maid, sawed off the peephole to her door and took video of her naked with his cell phone. >> why did you decide to do that? >> great question. >> i'd like to hear the answer. >> i would, too. i've thought about it over and over in my mind. it was a huge, huge mistake in judgment. >> reporter: he says he feels horrible. >> i knew what i was doing was wrong. i knew it was a horrible thing. for her sake, and my sake, i knew that soon enough i'd be in huge trouble. >> reporter: erin's mother says the pain can't be undone. >> the huemiliation continues. the things that woman has had to hear breaks my heart. >> reporter: erin says her career%is damaged and her life will never be the same.

to this harm and personal security and safety, and they fell down on the job. >> the stalker, michael barrett, was not in the courtroom. this was taped testimony. a taped deposition that was played in court. erin andrews left while it was beingg played. did he say anything when he took the jurors through exactly how he accomplished this that, in your opinion, really hurts the hotel? >> what hurts the hotel is the idea t tt basically, this information was easy for someone to get and provided in a way that didn't give her any waing. i think that came through loud and clear. there's plenty of people who are going to say, well, okay, but the hotel didn't do anything explicitly wrong. it didn't try to hurt her but, yet, it was clear that this guy, who doesn't come off as the most sophisticated or well-trained, he's not a security expert, was able to do this relatively easily. it's scary. >> meanwhile, you have her on the stand so emotionally. sympathetic, likely, to the

if yououe the defense lawyer, it'sour turn to cross-examine her today, what is your approach? >> to minimize the damages. not to say this wasn't terrible. it was heart wrenching to watch. r life and career was affected. she talked about watching this tapeith the fbi and she vomited uncontrollably. th's how much she was shook. the only thing you do from the other side, the other lawyers sa look, $75 million is a lot of money. wrongful death suits pay out $3 million to $5 million. otherwise, i think people identify with her. >> thank you so much. let's get a check of the weather from mr. roker. >> thanks so much. we have the severe weather to talk about, but there is a winter side to this storm. as we've seen so many times this winter already, from madison, grn bay, chicago, into detroit, we've got the possibility ofsnow. 31 million people at risk for snowy, wintry travel. this extends from iowa to maine.

can't sit on the dining room table, we've lost functionality. >> you were a paramedic. that's how you initially got into this? >> having to come into homes like this to get people out or, as a firefighter, too, coming in and trying to put a fire out and trying to find sosoone. seeing people burn up in these homes is very common and it's sad and tragic. it's such a small place. they think they can get out. >> reporter: the homeowners gave us permission to be there, but wish to remain anonymous. they're hope is to let other hoarders know, they're not alone. judy knows this firsthand. her sparseless furnished apartment is that wayntention gnatly. ally. she wrote a memory, "white walls." >> what was it like for you glow growing up in the home of a hoarder? >> i felt i was drowning in her disorder.

the money, i cannot control it. >> where is the control? >> it's elusive. it's not there. there is a great fear that people will despise me and i'll be left with nothing and no family. i don't know how to respond to that. >> reporter: judy's mother tried to get helput to no avail. it's evident her pain and shame run ep. >> maybe i can make up for the shame i've caused you all these years. i am so sorry. i'm so sorry. >> as you see, it's just heartbreaking. in 2013, hoarding became a recognized psychiatric diagnosis. now people can get counseling and therapies for it,@ and they can also seek insurance coverage. judy's mom did not want us to

ank her for being so brave to allow us in with our family rahs s -- cameras and see how this is affecting her. >> i think a lot of people will relate to that. it took a lot of courage from her. >> appppciate it. we have more information on hoarding at today.com. tomorrow in our series, we'll tell you about a young man who is so obsessed with counting calories, he lost half of his body weight. that is tomorrow on "today". we'll turn the page. coming up, we have jennifer lopez and tina fey, both live in our studio.
