mr. president, my hope is that senator murray and i and our committee can work together over the next two or three weeks and complete our work on our biomedical research legislation and our -- by our markup on april 6. i hope that we can come to the floor and present to senator mcconnell, the majority leader , along with that a consensus, bipartisan consensus for additional surge of funding including mandatory funding for -- for medical research in the areas that i have suggested. i have said that we'll need to replace other mandatory funding in order to be considered. i hope that we can work that way in the committee, and i hope the senate will look forward to receiving it. i will conclude by simply saying that last year i believe no bill was more important that we worked on in the senate than the bill to fix no child left behind. it affected 50 million children, 3.5 million teachers and 100,000 public schools. and the only reason it happened was because we had senators of very different backgrounds and attitudes and political differences who agreed that a result was more important. same

mr. trump after that. sara murray, you take it. go ahead. >> sayre is ra, what did you think of that moment? >> wow, i'm so lucky to get this one. as soon as i was watching this play out, i just felt like do these guys even want to win voters in a general election? i'm watching this play out on stage and i can't believe this is what it has come down to. a lot of people are sitting at home thinking the same thing. sure, it may have been light hearted and funny, but the idea they are running to be the next leader of the free world. and they are talking about their hand size and maybe the size of something else struck me as very beneath the level of discourse we want to be at, particularly at this point in a race. and i can't imagine i was alone in that feeling. >> david, switching topics. some pundits are calling this cnn's debate. it was referenced a dozen times. they used a clip from "new day". >> big night for "new day". >> big night for the morning of "new day". let me play for you this clip pointing out trump's inconsistencies.

sara murray is covering the trump campaign. what are you hearing from mr. trump about his strategy tonight? >> well, anderson, donald trump told you just last night that he wants to see a softer debought. and that is because he knows he's now the undisputed republican front-runner. he wants to appear presidential, above the fray. and he wants to look like someone who can actually unite the party behind him. of course, he could face challenges doing that. there are a number of his rivals who want to take him out on stage. that's why donald trump is coming in with a backup plan. and that backup plan is a big flashy press conference tomorrow morning at mar-a-lago where he's going to pick up an endorsement from dr. ben carson. they do feel good going into this debate. they think it will be a solid debate performance and they called it what should be the last republican debate. this may be's last time you see all these candidates on stage together. >> sara, as gloria pointed out in our last half hour, donald trump no matter how he does tonight, he gets to change

murray was talking about. you heard ted cruz and how he's taking that. what possible motive could trump have other than insulting mrss? >> well, look, ted cruz, a pac that supports ted cruz launched those negative attack ads going after donald trump's wife so he has every right to defend himself and push back against that type of personal attack upon the trump family. you know, i disagree with some of the comments that ted cruz made. he said that donald trump is afraid of strong women. that's absurd. in the trump organization, donald trump has nurtured and grown so many women to the executive level within his organization, he certainly is not afraid of strong women. his wife is a strong woman. so many women who work on his campaign, in his companies, so that is just completely false. >> s.e., i've got to bring you in here because you were having a hard time not talking. your response. >> a for effort to adriana for attempting to spin this into something that it isn't. there's really no way to defend slamming a candidate's wife just on her looks. i happen to believe that spouses are not off limits. i thought it was a
