number one, he couldn't get past it the stigmaing that governor chris christie put on him that he was robotic, not an authentic candidate, not a person of substance. he couldn't shake that off. i think also he had a difficulty when he would be critical of donald trump's behavior let's just say and then he started emulating his bebevior at the same time. and i think when he started talkinggbout size of hands and getting into something that was not proper keeping within the demeanor of a presidential race or who marco rubio truly is, and number thre it has to do with the electorate. it is polls showed that two-thirds of republican voters feel that the republican party indicators more to special interests. you have rubio who is talking very aspirationally b b didn't address that specific issue. donald trump does and i think that's somemeing that made a difference. rubio hadomething that i ought was really nice that he said. he said tonight, while we are on

the winning side. >> let's get to the democratic side before we have to let you go because of time. hillary clinton tonight did extremely well. >> really good night for her. >> was this knockout punk for hillary clinton? >> she is acting likesley is. it is pretty significant. she still has a couple of races where she's very tied with bernie sanders. learly she is way ahead. in her speech tonight when she was giving her speech, she sounded like a general candidate. she was really referring to donald trump that whole speech through. and she's looking forward to the opportunity to be able to be fight the republican contender. she thinks it's donald trump. >> wow. but bernie is still not out yet. >> no, he's not. >> thanks again ass always. >> a pleasure. >> you got it. now, first alert weather where chief meteorologist onmorales, south florida's most accurate forecast. >> let's talk weather and talk

first 90-degree high temperature of the year in pembroke pines. but there were several spots afternoon. that included fort lauderdale executive airport, open pa lockka, pompano beach. you get the pictu here. it was way above normal today. currently temperatures have cooled. we're in the 70s. 78 inany, many spots. as col as 17 degrees in homestead. we have a big area of high pressure almost right over us keeping winds calm plus the air has dried. that's the one good thing. it was so humum sunday and monday at least today, with these near 90 temperatures, it wasn't as humid as it had been during the last couple of days. so at least it didn't feel that oppressive but it's certainly hot, especially if you stand out in thsun. i'd expect the same for tomorrow. plentiful sunshine for tomorrow here in south florida and very warm temperatures yet again.

wednesday so you can plan accordingly here, watch out for the risk of fog again in the morning. it's happened for two straight nights. it might happen aain tomorrow, especially in inland locations. notice how much of boward would see the fog early tomorrow before as you see we head to the midmorning hours and it just disappears and dies off. we'll see plentiful sunshine towards the midday. here comes the mid afternoon and looks like we'll spend the rest of the day rain freeee in the metro area despite an isolated shower in inland spots. starting off the day comfortably at 69 degrees but the afternoon high would be 88, again, way above normal for this time of the year. then the evening still pretty warm with the sunset near 7:31 in the evening. beyond tomorrow, you can expect the warmth to stick around for thursday, as well. maybe a slight chance of a shower on friday and then this upcoming weekend, a chance of scattered thunderstorms. saturday and sunday as an approaching front will be

and we could see so of that thunderstorm activity scatter about. notice temperatures next week could start off about 15 degrees cooler than what they were today. >> john, thank you. up next the reason behind a massive emergency shutdown of one of the nation's largest mass transit systems. >> only in florida, a daring rescue as what if one piece of kale could protect you from diabetes?
