. >> greta: karl rove and donald trump is here. nine hours the polls open for the all important florida primary. it will be a sizzler. donald trump saw the brutal fight between romney and gingrich. donald trump will be here in a few seconds. first, karl rove the. nice to see you. the position tonight show that mitt romney a sizable lead ahead of gingrich. five days it was a different story. with what happened? >> if the polls are to be believed, there have been 15 polls in the last week alone showing romney of an average lead of 12.5 points. if this all comes to pass, it will be because of two debated performances and because the two candidates went at each other mono on mono on the stump and on the airwaves and mailboxes. mitt romney if he does win tomorrow night will have gotten the better of speaker gingrich despite two high profile endorsements of gingrich, one by herman cain and close endorsement from sarah palin. >> if he wins tomorrow night, 2 million republicans will be voting. 650,000 have been absentee voting which leaves

yesterday we sat down with donald trump at his resort in palm beach, maro lago, is he still thinking of running for president? well, listen to what he says? >> well i am thinking about it, we will see what happens. this is a very critical time for this country. the country is going to hell in a hand basket, what is going on is unbelievable. >> so if you ran, would you try to get into the republican race or would you run as an independent. >> it would have to be as an independent, i would be precluded and, you know, sadly i am precluded from running now because of the show, if i didn't have the show i probably would have just kept going because i was doing well and leading in the polls. >> what is going on now that you don't like about this race? what would cause you to do this? >> well, first of all, it is a very nasty race, i have never seen anything like this. it is republican against republican, and yet the level of hatred, i guess you could say there is no other word for it is unbelievable. and the question is are they hurting themselves? are they hurting the party? are they hurt

it is depressing. >> schieffer: and what about donald trump saying he might get into this thing? a courageous patriot. i mean, the man is willing to give up his tv show to run for president. america thanks you, just like abraham lincoln gave up his tv show to run. >> schieffer: let's talk a little bit about -- >> thanks for letting me following follow him. >> schieffer: sure. let's talk a little about your poll that came out came out in the miami herald this morning. now it looks like mitt romney has got, you know, double digit lead here. when did you start to see this thing shifting toward romney or did it not shift or was it that way all along? >> no, you sort of see things shift probably around tuesday or so, it looks after the debate on monday made a difference, and the gingrich just came in here and didn't have much of a message and romney and his people are out spending gingrich and his people three to one and really beating him up over freddie mac and parlaying gingrich's consulting work for freddifreddie mac into angst ine housing market, many houses down here are in fore

so, for those would have continued to cut down donald trump, i say, "enough is enough," shut up about it and don't vote for him, work harder for your candidate, and i assume that g.o.p. the find out who it is, if not via iowa tomorrow, then, through south carolina, new hampshire, before south carolina, and, then, florida after that. >>eric: ron paul has maybe indicated, maybe not, i don't know where it came from, but the thought of a ron paul third party candidacy was out there, what do you thing of that one. >>guest: well, with ron paul, too as with donald trump, i respect they have that right to perhaps mount a third party candidacy, however, i just see based on history, based on what i know about campaigns, too often it allows the power of the incumbency to be strengthened and that incumbent do day in there, and president obama, heaven forbid we have to go through four more years of president obama and his failed socialist economy. so ron paul has great things to offer, and, too, i am surprised that so many people forget he is the one who is running with scissors he understands we

and -->> i like donald trump! i'm a big fan!> and it's not an ideological thing and that's, i think, a problem that somebody -- look, i think a lot of the republicans call him and try to get him the support every day because they're worried that he's -- they're worried about him. they're worried he'll run as an independent and be a problem. >> so as a republican, if the choice was between mitt romney or donald trump, then you -- that would be convuluted for you. >> it would be tough. i love donald trump. i think he's fantastic. i like his opinions, like what he does. i like what he says. he's got some great ideas. but, you know, i'm a republican. i'm going to go with mitt romney so i'm going to really, you know, beg donald trump and try to get the entire party to say we need your help. not as the candidate. not as the independent candidate. it would hurt us. >> people forget that perot went ahead of clinton. clinton fell into third place and perot started eating democratic party votes, something no one thought perot could do bec

what does business tight an donald trump think? ier today. >> donald, nice talk to you. and environmentalists against labor and republicans against democrats and business against anti-business and keystone pipeline project. you thought about the news that is going no permit is going to be issued now for the pipeline? >> i think it's disgraceful. frankly, we don't need canada. we should be able to drill our own oil. as long as it's there we should have approved it. it's jobs and cheaper oil. it's just absolutely incredible. i guess president obama took care of the environmentalists but it is absolutely terrible and it is not an environmental problem. >> greta: i take it one step further. in 2008, that was when the state department agreed there would be an environmental impact study done to see what effect the pipeline would be done on the environment. they outsource today the trans canada the pipeline company to pick the own company to do the study. they picked a company that had other business. a conflict of interest. so naturally w
