howard fineman and curtis lee who is with me right now. let me go to howie jackson on -- howie jackson, sure. what do you think about tonight's debate? what explains the behavior. i guess cruz was the most consistent taking shot after shot at barack obama irrespective of the topic going for the pro-israel crowd which makes sense. i guess most of what he did was going after the tea party people. he was working their hard right rail of the race like he's always done. i don't know what the strategy is. is there enough of the hard right rail for him -- delegate votes for him to win the nomination way out on the hard right? >> well, that's the bet he's making, chris, that by moving to the right of donald trump he can pick up that conservative support and try to bring together the so-called anti-trump folks within the republican party. what was most striking about this, i mean, i think he nailed it when he talked about it was serious, it was substantive for the most part. even donald trump himself acknowledged how civil the evening was. you didn

sir, thank you and curtis lee, political reporter for the los angeles times. what do you think of the guy that imitates his act but looks creepier. >> stay with what you know. that was i think the fatal flaw with the rubio strategy. he didn't need to get into the gutter. he didn't need to go where trump was. all he needed to do was make the policy argument. we know he is strong on that. we know he has got the brainpower as well as the car r -- you never go where you're not comfortable or good. he was both of those things. he was not good at it and clearly uncomfortable with it after a while, particularly in the last debate. it just seems forced, and so he paid the ultimate price. i think it may have cost him the pathway to the nomination. >> i'm sure comedians out here that write shows, they can figure out the difference between something funny and something that thumps on the floor. what do you make of this? >> yeah, i mean, i was on the trail with rubio in february before he turned to this. i mean, most of the time he was talking about, you know, this future

i want to bring in curtis lee. who won tonight? >> i don't know. it was a good debate for marco rubio. >> rubio, it was good for him so was that a mistake in trump being so careful? did he leave the door open for somebody else to give the bugle boy positive speech that trump -- rubio -- >> we saw trump focused on the general. he mentioned democrats a lot, hillary clinton and he's kind of trying to stay above the fray it seemed like tonight and focus on capturing the nomination. i mean rubio had a good debate performance but is it too little too late after last week's performance? >> i wonder who will get the headlines. thanks, curtis and robert costa back there and howard fineman. i'll check back with you later on the show. much more ahead on gop's fight in miami. this is a special of "hardball" live for tonight's republican debate. stay with us. pet moments are beautiful, unless you have allergies. then your eyes may see it differently. only flonase is approved to relieve both your itchy, watery eyes and congestion. no other nasal allergy spray ca

curtis lee and i to ban kids to go to carver and i take them to school every morning. i have sort of stain around the school to help the staff around there and mine the kids. you know the drill and, you know it's a good school. the good staff members there. good teachers. i know most of them, you know and i call all of them mrs. or mr. but we need doors. we need walls. the kids need doors and walls. they're in a pod is setting. this voice all over the place. they can't -they don't have a door to close for themselves from the noise and the teachers can't teach the kids can't learn under those conditions. you've got good teachers there. now, it's also a safety security issue. because we all hear in the news about some clown that runs up in the school shooting up the place, but at least the teachers should have somewhere to shelter the kids in case something like that happens. so, i think it's a very very important issue that carver with no-you can't close the classrooms off. and the kids can't focus because they don't have a classroom setting to focus in. so, i have some
