look at those numbers i sho, d battlegrounds, ohio, florida, north carolina, these were republican primary voters who say they prefer a third party option than to pick between trump and clinton. >> yeah, trump is a disaster. politics is ultshauely about addition, not subtraction. the whole idea of trump is not that he's going to take these romney voters and add to them. he's losing romney voters. hispanics. there's not tons of hispanics in the republican party. he already has 60% negatives with republican hispanics. it's going to be very tough for any nominee to do better than romney, against hillary clinton. he's goiou to do worse. >> we ran the numbers using the exit polls from 2012 in ohio and wisconsin, just on the white te. and assuming all things were eq >>ual, and here's wisconsin first, trump would have to increase the romney share by 5 percentage points, go from 51% of the white vote, which by the way, romney got and still lost 56% of the white vote is what trump would need to flip it. in ohio, to flip ohio, he would have to move the romney white vote number from 57% to 61%. this

ohio. this was the last debate before so-called super tuesday 3 next week which promises be a turning point in the campaign. the republicans and d events in several states. besides ohio and florida, there are also contests in north carolina, missouri and illinois on tuesday. reena and kendis. >> hey there thank you so much, kenneth mo tune. >>> the candidates abandoned the school yard antics for for their most civil face to face discussion yet. >> abc's political director rick klein gives us his analysis on the debate from miami. good morning, rick. >> reporter: reena and kendis, donald trump tamed himself. his ultimate enemy finally he showed control dominated the stage because no one was attacking him. by far the tamest republican debate to date. republicans saving their tamest for the last. and the other candidates seemingly not wanting to hit donald trump. they had tried so many strategies and failed in the past. this time around they decided to hold their fire and donald trump was left standing at the end. he is the overwhelming front-runner. the other candidates playing in their own zones, playing in their own lanes. after some of the most wild are ending with an essential

florida and ohio. the democratic front-runner now has a laser focus on the g-o-p frontrunnersot - hillary clinton (d) presidential candiateclinton florida (must trim): when we hear a candidate for president call for rounding up 12 million immigrants. that doesn't make him strong. it makes him wrong. as for bernie sanders....an overall disappointing night. as the math for his path to the nomination -- looking extremely grim. pkg tag: most of the presidential candidates don't have any scheudle events today -- except for john kasich who will be in republican debate is scheduled for monday in utah. a debate trump says he didn't know about and will likely not participate in. ray raimundi abc news. nine on your side is following breaking news.a polar bear has escaped from its cage at the cincinnati zoo.zoo security tell nine on your side the polar bear is secure... and nobody at the zoo is in danger. we have crews on the way to the zoo and will bring you live updates when we get there. a dynamic hollywood duo pairs up once again...the blockbuster movie franchise a famous director and actor are taking on. march madness

weekend, a few other contests, but the upcoming winner take all, florida, ohio, they're on march 15th. crucial to everyone who is hoping doping deny the first ballot. here is what the delegate count might look like if kasich wins ohio, if rubio wins florida. if the stop trump takes care of business in those states. under those circumstances, trump would then need to get 67% of the remaining delegates to win the nomination out right. so jeremy, when i look at this, beating trump from ohio, beating trump in florida, they're essential if you want to stop him. but even that threshold, 67% the rest of the way, they start to add up fast after that. states like new york, pennsylvania, california, a lot of delegates, a lot of blue states there. even stopping him in florida or ohio may not be enough. >> that's right. don't forget about new jersey too. a lot of delegates up for grabs that trump is poised to do well in. i do think that the path gets increasingly narrow for ted cruz. that's something that the people who are urging kasich to get out of the race, marco rubio fans, will say is that you know, when you're talking about c

ohio. both are winner take all states which means there is a big chunk of delegates. no more 25 for trump, 17 for rubio, 17 for kasich. all 99 of florida's delegates dl go to a person who gets a plurality there. all ofit ohio's delegates will to a person who gets the plurality there. the great news for donald trump is he's leading in both states, leading john kasich in ohioo ohio by a smaller margin than rubio in florida, but is facing an attack he has in the phased yet. >> woodruff: is there something we know about the republican electorate in these states these candidates shouldan be watching out for?or >> there are states that will know some of these candidates well which ought to be good news for them. in florida an endorsement by jeb bush which probably wouldentu matter nationally could matter. he's a popular former governor there. >> woodruff: let's start now on the democrats. t bernie sanders wasn't supposed to win michigan. he did. how big a deal is it? >> you know, this saved bernie sanders because he was just ons the verge of being counted out as a credible nominee and the only protest candidate with a message. but he's turned that around.

d and say, hey, i'm available in case of an emergency. trump has not put thison away. if he loses both florida and ohio march 15th, chances are we're heading to the contested conventionnow, trump leads in the delegates, as katy said, a little less than a hundred. so far, trump has won about 45% of all the s available. let's assume trump can win that same 45% in the 14 contests besides florida and ohio. well that means he's really got to do well in florida and ohio. if trump wins both florida and ohio, this is what delegate totals look like. nearly 300 delegate lead over cruz. he only needs to win 50% of remaining delegates to be the nominee. without rubio and kasich, both would drop out, that but if he loses both, florida and ohio to kasich and rubio, then suddenly you have a jumbled mess. everybody stays in, and lester, we're headed for that contested convention. >> wow. chuck, thank you. we want you to know mitt romney will speak out live tomorrow morning in the studio here in new york. an exclusive interview with matt lauer on "today." >>> you think hillary clinton might be sitting back today, gleef

d had to do it. >> >> a critical night no doubt. manyo questions still remain. can rubio win florida march 15. can caseic win ohio. on a very same day. will any republicans drop out. can sanders regain momentum. the movie has some scenes too play. it could be a really thriller.hr coming up this summer. >> two homes shot at randomly. two families feeling fortunate that no one f was hurt. police are trying to figure out who fired the bullets. that could have easily injuredn >> the bullet dropped. and hit here. >> . steve. a retired police officer. says. the round appeared to be from a small caliber pistol. possibly a 38. he says he first checked to makee sure his sleeping wife was okay. then he called police. >> . . my neighbor called me. m and he says that are you okay over there. i said well. did you get shot at too. he said yes. >> policeid believe the same person or persons fired a round into the house next door. police who pwhrao euf the shootings wereh random.om from inside that home. >>th . after a bullet went through the front of ah house. hit a popcorn machine. intohi an inside wall. nobody got hurt. it is

. >> ohio and florida could make or break the presidential candidates in the g.o.p. and on d side, hillary clinton could face stronger than expected competition from bernie sanders in the midwest today. we go to cleveland with the story. >> good morning, there are enough delegates at state to make donald trump and hillary clinton frontrunners to likely nominees for the party with florida and he the big pries but the other states voting could make the difference. >> it is here the day that could be a critical town point in the race for president. >> this is the place i want to win, the place, this is going to do it. >> going frontrunner donald trump was in the winner-take-all state of ohio overnight. attack the governor and rival john kasich. >> kasich cannot make great america again. can't do it. >> the stop trump movement is in full effect. >> this country is not about tear one another down. >> the rivals saw problems trump rally. >> don't worry you will not be beat up at my rallies. >> a difference between this rally and those of donald trump i am not asking you to punch an

republicans would get together and vote for rubio in florida, kasich in ohio, and deny trump the delegates he would need, and then they'd just work it all out de convention. enat's what mitt romney called for explicitly. but it's taken nine days for senator rubio to endorse it, and if donald trump is stopped in those two states, it won't be because there was coordination. >> pelley: and what about trump ?ast night at the debate? he seemed very different than wat we're used to. >> reporter: he's trying to close the deal. he's talking about unity, talking about his flexibility, to calm those in the republican party who have been nervous about his nomination. that's not going to stop those who are trying to deny him the nomination, but he's trying to rob them of new examples for why he might be objectionable. in real estate they call it the "good cop-bad cop" negotiation. trump is playing both parts, and last night he was the good cop. >> pelley: john dickerson, we'll be watching sunday on "face the nation"." thanks, john. a big issue in the campaign is pae flow of u.s. jobs overseas. well, the u.s.-based parent company of nabisco is shipping ou

certainly a lot of intrigue h d heading into tomorrow night's debate. >> if trump wins florida and ohiok, is it all over? >> look, those two states, florida and ohio, they represent the other campaigns' best chances to slow donald trump's momentum. if he were to come out of those two big states which essentially are microcosms of the country, you can argue. that's the reason that people talk about ohio as essentially the 50 yard line of american politics. trump, you know, to mark's point, trump would need about 54% of the remaining dell gatss in order to reach that 1,237. he'd very likely have the momentum that he needs to do that. i think to mark's other point, they will -- a number of other campaigns will try to stay in to bleed as much support as possible in order to prevent that. but it would be very hard to stop that momentum. momentum is such a valuable commodity in campaigns. >> sara, trump says he wants to be the uniter. he wants a softer tone in tomorrow night's republican presidential debate that cnn is hosting. is either one of those two scenarios realistic? >> it's very hard

d >> donald trump campaign violence. >> donald trump will always put himself ahead of us. >> reporter: voters from ohio to florida are bombardedination. they're going to sue his [ bleep ]. >> attacking everything from donald trump's off color campaign style to his failed business ventures. >> my job was to sell people on trump university. >> reporter: since late february, 23,000 commercials attacking donald trump have run nationwide. according to ad tracking group. >> two out of every five tv spots on the republican side for the last week attacked donald trump in some way. >> reporter: are they working? >> every time you attack donald trump, trump goes up. attack him again, he goes up further. >> reporter: yet watching al negative ads about donald trump? >> it's crazy. hypocrisy. foolishness. american democracy. >> reporter: cbs news contributor, republican strategist frank luntz, analyzed ads this cycle. one of least effective attacks on trump. >> trump entrusted convicts to help him run his company. >> pathetic. it is pathetic, it is not, it is not authentic. show me the real evidence rather than just making claims. it's ver

florida. con kasich won ohio and promises to stay in the race until the republican convention despite pressure for him to drop out. ta at donald trump talked about the dn hillary clinton talked about the gravity of the campaign. >> can you explain it? i can't. my numbers went up. i don't understand. nobody understands it. >> the next president will walk into the oval office next january, sit down at that desk and start making decisions that will affect the lives and livelihoods of everyone in this country, indeed everyone on this planet. >> although clinton has now nearly the double number of delegates bernie sanders does he is vowing to remain in the race. more than half the voters in florida, ohio, and north carolina picked someone other than donald trump. that is fueling the talk the party could choose someone else at their convention in july. >>> here's speaker of the house, paul ryan, in an exclusive interview on cnbc. >> people say, what about the contested convention? i said, well, there are a lot of people running for president. we'll see. who knows? >> who knows. could he be the nominee? ryan did not say yes and did not say no either. >> we w

d yesterday. critical, if donald trump sweeps those, he's o a clear glide sed is ground hog day of primaries. if he gets those two states, florida and ohio, he'll be on a glide path to getting the nomination. spring thyme for donald trump you might say. if he loses ohio, he'll need to get 60% of the delegates between now and the convention. it almost -- it becomes almost certain that this goes all of the way to june 7th when the california primary is, the last day of voting or a contested convention if he doesn't win those two states. >> it becomes the epicenter of the stop trump move sflmt not only it's the critical moment where everything flows from this. n often believable time inhi that clearly trump is worried about in ohio, kasich will campaigning with romney while donald trump has canceled a florida event to campaign in ohio. another sign that it really does come right down to ohio. by the way, romney won't be endorsing kasich, endorsing anybody not named donald trump. that's why he's in ohio. >>> now to that devastating flooding across much of the south, millions of people in the flood zone. thousands of homes damaged over the we

d-day for a couple other candidates is next tuesday. if he can win the key contest of florida and not marco rubio finally out of the race, if he can win ohio which is a much tougher thing to do against john casey and he may well win in north carolina, missouri, illinois. i don't think he has to win all five. i think three or four would be impressive but at this point it's getting tougher and tougher to see how he will lose the nomination. you can talk about a contested convention all you want but if donald trump goes in there with a large plurality of the delegates, i think eventually people will recognize what will happen if he is denied the nomination. kind of a walkout to begin with and the party will quite possibly be tornasunder . jon: we will get to those polls in the upcoming state in a moment but i want to look first of all at exit polling about the late insiders. in mississippi, the late insiders on the republican side broke toward ted cruz, 45 percent of them did. donald trump only got 27 percent and casey with 18 and marco rubio with just four percent. in michigan, the late deciders broke for casey, 39 percent to donald trump's

ohio. rubio out of the race because he beats him in florida. the bad news for donald trump, potentially losable. >> d ds marco rubio have a chance in florida? >> that's a big question. there is a new poll out here, nbc poll, take a lo. this is grim for marco rubio. we have been seeing this now for the last week. marco rubio in his home state, practically doubled up by donald trump, maybe losing to ted cruz. the real problem for rubio is this, when you look what happened over theeekend, you're saying, maybe it'll j j minds at the last minute and change the race. florida is an aggressive early voting states. a lot of the votes are already locked in. if there is a last-minute surge, it may not be enough. >> our poll has kasich up by five points in ohio. thank you both so much. >>> let's talk about severe weather in the south now. flooding is still very much a concern for thousands of residents. the rain has finally let up, but the rivers are still rising. nbc national correspondent mielal al vamaguer is in louisiana. >> good morning. rescue teams worked late into the night trying to reach anyone who may
