joining me to talk about it, s.e. cupp, former george w.advisor and co-host of "the circus" mark mckinnon and steve mcman. s. echt s.e., your response to mitt romney's speech today. >> let me say, mitt romney is a very good man. i think he cares deeply about the country, about the republican party, about the conservative movement. >> there's a but coming here. >> i share his frustration. i share his frustration. >> get to the but. >> the however action i thought that his prescription today was wrong and, frankly, a little offensive. this is how democracy works. we in the media sadly don't get to pick a president. you know, we don't have king makers. and when the people choose a person that you don't like, i don't think that the prescription is to try to rig another outcome. i also don't think that appealing on strategy is how we're going to change hearts and minds. this isn't about strategy, this is about the soul of the conservative movement, the republican party and the country. and i don't think that that message to find a strategy to so

>> i listen to s.e. and i'm reminded years ago of a johnmy carson show where they cut to ed mcmahon doing a live dog food commercial, the dog would not eat the dog food. keeps encouraging him. johnny to save the whole thing goes in on his hands and knees goes in to eat the dog food. >> am i the dog in this scenario? >> no, marco rubio is the dog here, the dog food. the voters are not buying it. and so, therefore, we talked in the -- >> yet there is a candidate on the republican side who voters are buying and they're buying in droves. >> it's amazing, this has been our problem. we have been waiting for the candidate to come around to harness the enthusiasm of the republican electorate. since reagan. we got it. >> you got him. >> he's just going to destroy the party in the process. >> let's go to chris christie. >> tonight, donald trump is the clear winner on super tuesday. but the win is important for our country. tonight, donald trump has won georgia and massachusetts, alabama and virginia. and he's also

cnn political commentator, s.e.ican strategist lisa booth, donald trump supporter adriana cohen, plus mo. thanks for being here. we really appreciate it. let's first talk about this tweet. adriana, i'm going to you for this because we want to show a retweet of a side-by-side comparison between melania trump and a very unflattering picture of heidi cruz that sara murray was talking about. you heard ted cruz and how he's taking that. what possible motive could trump have other than insulting mrs. cruz's looks? >> 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 af

>> i agree with s.e.r they are low information, high information, low education, high education, everybody has the same vote. and should this become a two-man race and should ted cruz become the clear alternative to donald trump and this go to a brokered convention, at some point we're going to need unity within this party and we're going to need to stop talking about divisions and about sublabels within the republican party and figure out how to have a broad message and a broad tent that we can all fit under, whether you have a high school degree or you have three ph.d.s to your name. >> i suspect a lot of the voters and millions already have voted for donald trump probably resent the notion that they are relatively low information voters. >> particularly coming from a guy who graduated from yale and princeton, it's a little much. >> it's a surprising statement from ted cruz. he's an outsider. it's surprising to hear him say something like this. >> we have much more to talk about, including marco rubio,

china doesn't have the s.e., but it will come in a few weeks. this is an led we are talking about, not a semiconductor. >> it's essentially not a big technology here. that's the reason they can take on new people because they understand the technology really well. cory: apple doesn't really dual given phone. on a for most components, they lock in with a certain manufacturer. they're using samsung as well. >> they have done global sourcing. they've done it for some components. up withy when you end one window, there's much high risk for apple. at that time, they had wrapped them up and they ran into production shortages back then. those are the kinds of situations they want to avoid. cory: what were the lines like today? >> that was expected that there would not be massive queues around the block. they are expecting volumes to be lower. cory: you can say queues here. it's a global broadcast. >> the language is english, and i am english. people are expecting 10 to 15 million tops for this phone. if you compare that to 200 million sold last year, i

kevin is a republican strategist, s.e. cupp a conservative columnist, jeffrey lord, a former reagan political director and amanda is a communications director for ted cruz. what are you expecting from ted cruz tonight? does he focus on donald trump, trying to make this a two-person race? getting that idea across? or does he try to go after marco rubio and make it as much of a two-person race as possible? >> it's going to backfire if he goes against marco rubio. marco rubio's campaign is imploding as we speak. a lot of people who like marco rubio and supported him. if he attacks him hard he's going to look like he's kicking a puppy. he needs to direct it at donald trump. he is the alternative to trump. if you want to take him down you have to support ted cruz on super tuesday right now. >> jeffrey lord, what do you expect from donald trump? when i talked to him yesterday, he is clearly trying to be in a more presidential mode. whether or not he's capable of restraining himself when attacked is another question. he told me i

with us here in the situation room, s.e. cupp, politics executive editor mark preston and the former virginia attorney general ken cuccinelli, a ted cruz supporter. thanks to all of you for coming in. jamie gangel reporting that among mitt romney's inner circle, there's one school of thought. go to the convention, maybe trump won't have enough pledged delegates to ensure that he's going to be the nominee. have an open convention, let mitt romney or maybe paul ryan, a white knight emerge. is that realistic at all? >> i don't think it's realistic that paul ryan will come in as the white knight. he's the speaker of the house. >> reluctanreluctantly. >> he was the vice presidential nominee four years ago. >> he certainly was. but we've been talking about this the last couple of days. there are definite strategies that republicans are talking about to try to deny donald trump the nomination. in fact during his speech today, he let a little of that information out when he said i'd like to see john kasich win ohio, i would like to

s.e., the issue is does donald trump need to say more? does he need to do more? this is not the first time we have seen violence at a donald trump rally. >> donald trump i think gives sort of a nod and a wink to this sort of thing when he talks at his rallies about protesters. get them out. get them out. in the good ole days we would have knocked them out. i wish i could knock them out. he'd said that. donald trump is not entirely responsible for what this lunatic guy did at a rally, but it should be up to donald trump to set the tone just as it would be up to donald trump to set the tone of an administration. his rhetoric throughout this entire campaign has set exactly that kind of tone. >> andy, what does donald trump need to do tonight though, because you have said he needs to have a new tone, he needs to be presidential? is he going to do that tonight or when someone throws the bait out, which they will, is he going to take it? >> oh, he's going to fight back, but we have to get to this point where we have someone protesting at a donald trump rally and he get

you expecting to be unveiled at this event, specifically, will there be a smaller phone, an iphone s.e., and what will the features be? guest: sure. i think that this event's going to focus on three product lines. the iphone, the ipad and the apple watch. in terms of the iphone, we're hearing that's going to be an iphone s.e., which will have a smaller four-point -- 4.0-inch screen which is smaller than the 4.7 and other screens. this will really be appealing to people who had older iphone models, looking for something that's a little bit more functional and easier to hold in the hand. emily: so, you also believe there's going to be a new ipad, potentially an apple watch update. tell us. guest: sure. so there's going to be a new version of the 9.7-inch ipad and this is the ipad screen size that first launched in 2010. the current ipad at this size is the ipad air 2. that's going to stick around. what apple's going to do is take the ipad pro, with all those features, with the physical keyboard and the stylist pencil, and they're going to bring that to the smaller screen size. so they're

lower 70's.e then we cooldown just in time for the weekend, well below-average temperatures. if you are going to check out the cherry blossoms, tomorrow be the last best chance to do it. after that, all bets are off with a heavy rain on the way towards the end of the week. all of this moves out late, late friday. tomorrow will be a beauty, lower 60's, lots of sunshine come the wind out of the south at t5 to 10. lower 70's thursday, class increase. chance of showers and thunderstorms. lower 60's. withy, only near 54, morning lows in the 40's. we stay below-average most of next week. a little shift in temperatures, but tomorrow the cherry blossoms , if you have not been out there, go for it. rain thursday and friday will clean the pollen out of the air. alison: and it will be cold in the morning. steve: yes, tomorrow morning, bundle up. leon: the colonials are our best hope for a championship. that is coming up, plus the usa clashes with wadham allah in a world cup -- clashes with guatemala in a world cup qualifier. he's begun forgetting words. forgetting where he lives. but wh

our political commentator s.e. cupp, along with former ted cruz communications director, amanda carpenter, jennifer grantholm, our cnn chief political analyst, gloria borger. we are the women of the world here. >> yeah. >> yay! >> i love that. >> all right. i just want to start off, gloria, we were in houston looking at a much smaller and more intimate space. this is a very big space. a big part of what's happened in these debates thus far has been the booing and clapping and cat calling that come from the audience. >> there's going to be a lot of people here. we at cnn try to keep that to a minimum and try and get the audience evenly divided that way, although donald trump has complained about that. there are going to be a lot of people here, but there are going to be fewer people on that debate stage. so what you're going to see now is people -- these candidates understand that this is it for them. marco rubio's stakes could not be higher. he's got to win the state of florida or i would argue that's it. he's not

we're back with michael smerconish and amanda carpenter, jeffrey lord, s.e. cupp. and a conservative columnist. let's start right to left, john king, what did you make of tonight? very substantive. not a lot of sniping. >> every candidate tried to do what they think is their job. number one, donald trump gets the moment. like him or not, he understands if he has a big day tuesday, the math is heavily in his favor. he is trying to tell the republican establishment, stop fighting me and join me. kasich playing straight to ohio, an economic message, an optimistic message. ted cruz talking to the republican base, saying you better rally around me or you're going to get him. and marco rubio taking a big step tonight to restoring his reputation as a young upcoming leader in the party who talks generationally about the next generation. and is that enough to win florida? who knows. >> gloria borger. >> i think the argument that has resonance trump made over and over again tonight is i know the system and i'm the only one who can fix it because i was a part of it. i was an

the long-rumored four-inch iphone s.e. is said to have a faster chip than current iphone models. the new ipad pro is said to have a 9.7 inch screen and a handful trending this morning, leonardo dicaprio's oscar gold sets a twitter record. according to twitter trackers, his best actor win generated more than 440,000 tweets per minute sunday night. that makes it the most-tweeted minute of an oscars telecast ever. the previous record was owned by ellen degeneres' star-studded selfie. geoff: let's honor they leave the date that it was, considering it only comes once every four years. -- and let's honor the leap day that was, considering it only comes once every four years. how about los angeles clippers owner steve ballmer? a chance to show off his hops with a little help, the 59-year-old billionaire making dunking look easy with the two handed slam. of course, he had some help from the trampoline and the lowered basket but still impressive. i believe the team unveiled a new mascot yesterday. 49 days. that's how long of an offseason it was for clemson football, but not very long. the

let's bring in democratic strategist paul bagalla and s.e. cupp.io just after kasich finished a distant third in michigan after he had hoped to do better there. obviously it's his home state, not michigan but still was that a harbinger of bad things to come? >> if you're kasich, not if your trump. trump won oakland county which is very affluent very well educated. i spent some time there. not a place that donald trump is supposed to win. if he matches that in ohio in places like cuyahoga county wealthy suburbs, if he can match that then yes, there's nowhere trump can't win in a state like ohio. if kasich isn't winning there, he's probably not winning elsewhere. >> is it over tomorrow if kasich doesn't win -- if trump wins florida and ohio is the race over? >> yes, as a practical matter. there's still the math and there's a lot of barriers but yes. this is what's so astonishing. john kasich was re-elected a year and a half ago in a landslide, won by 32 points. he carried 86 out of the 88 counties. and in 47 of those counties he got 70%. he's a colos

and s.e. cupp, and cnn political analyst gloria borger. let's begin with what we heard mr.ing to anderson about islam, islam hates us. we know c.a.r.e. is holding a news conference, they're demanding an apology. >> i'm proud of what donald trump is doing. i really want to get into this so no yelling until -- i know people are going to freak out. what donald trump is mostly talking about is the culture of islam. culture means a value system. if you look at the culture of islam in the united states, these are wonderful people. they're 3 million americans. they're engineers, they're doctors. they love america and they love american culture. what does that mean for muslims in america? it means if you're in the muslim religion in america, you can get a divorce as a woman without being killed. you can be gay without being thrown off a building. you can leave the religion without being executed. in the middle east, if you're gay, you do get thrown off a building. if you try to get a divorce as a woman, you do get murdered. what we won't tolerate is the hatred of cult of ur in the

we're going to talk about that now with republican strategist s.e.d hillary clinton supporter and sara huckabee. sorry, sara huckabee sanders, senior adviser to donald trump. thank you all for joining us. sara, i'll start with you since you're on the trump payroll. what do you think? do you believe that he's doing enough to stop these protests? >> you know, i don't think that there's anything in donald trump's rhetoric that is inviting or inciting violence. i want to know sometimes where the outcry is when barack obama was saying let's put -- you know, the gop is putting a monday to the americans' heads and things like that. there was no outcry overthat language. donald trump isn't saying let's start a vie on the or create violence. you have people that are coming in, creating a scene, into a very passionate, fired-up crowd and expecting no consequences. i made kind of the comparison earlier as a southerner with a couple of fellow southerners here, if i went into an lsu game saying lsu tigers are losers and expected no one to say anything to me and f

s.e. cupp. and gloria borger. our guests. awesome to have you on.ng all those tweets, you know, he's always said i want to be the adult in the room, i want to remain above the fray. is this as attacky as he's going to get? >> attacky, that's about right. he does sort of want to remain above the fray. i think he's never really done that before. and he hinted before he won ohio in a bunch of interviews including with anderson cooper that he would have more to say about donald trump. i think this gave him an opportunity to say it. and i wouldn't be surprised as it gets more and more try dent if trump continues along this vein. >> s.e., what do you think, think he needs to say more than this? >> yeah, welcome to the fight. it's not even nine months. i don't think it's particularly courageous for john kasich to call trump out on what a lot of us have been calling out for months. just conveniently after he put, you know, 66 delegates in his back pocket. >> right. >> i don't think it looks very genuine for john kasich to have said, well now enough's enough

s.e.'s point, republicans use to say you had to believe in free market economy and free trade. trump is against free trade. had to believe in neocon foreign policy. he attacked the war in iraq and said it was stupid. >> you have to believe in fundamentalist christianity, 2 corinthians and he stops. >> let's go back to wolf. >> thanks very much. we're about to hear from donald trump getting ready to address some of his followers in palm beach, also answer reporters' questions. we're also going to be hearing shortly from hillary clinton. both have won several states. we have a key race alert right now to update you on what's going on. take a look at this. in vermont, first of all, only 2% of the vote in on the republican side. trump is ahead 36.4%. 25% for john kasich, ohio governor. 19% for marco rubio. 16 delegates at stake in vermont. in virginia on the republican side, donald trump is ahead with 36.8%. 30.5% for marco rubio. only 16.9% for ted cruz. 49 delegates at stake in virginia. okl

s.e. cupp, what do you make of this? for rubio, do you see any -- i mean, do you see him getting out? >> well, first of all for anyone tuning in, i just want you to know, he didn't die. okay? i understand there's, like, a funeral mood around -- >> politically -- >> no, politically, he didn't die, either. marco rubio is very young. marco rubio has a very promising political future. anyone that has been felled in this cycle by donald trump will be able to blame this unexpected crazy phenomenon looking back and saying, look, it wasn't me, maybe there was some tactics i would have done differently, but it wasn't -- the time wasn't right for me. i think the time will be right for marco rubio in the future. one thing i think we can mourn at this funeral is this idea of optimism, right? i mean, that was what i loved about marco rubio. this idea that not only can we make, you know, country a better place for more people, but we can bring more and different kinds of people into the republican party. that's important to me, it's n

. >> and i'm playing that out, s.e. receipts s let's say kasich picks up the state and gets the 66 delegates, picks up some caucuses and primaries over the next ten days. let's say he gets 100 delegates, best-case scenario. marco rubio picks up his state of florida. he's got 106 now and now we're talking over 200 delegates along the way. maybe we're talking about 50. cruz, not a favorite of the win or take all states but could pick up in all of the states to come. he gets up to around 300. let's say trump picks up another 50 delegates and he's around 360. let's give him 400. you see what i'm getting here? i know i'm a numbers nerd but it's changing it later and later and later, right? >> right. and trump wouldn't have the number needed going into a convention. that's why everyone is so hot and bothered. this could be an all-out floor fight. again, florida is very much in the air. as long as there is not one candidate being coalesced around with support, trump benefits from that. >> donald trump is one delegate short of

the iphone s.e., as most people expect it to be called, is a trade-in for the iphone 5s. and allows them, when they launch the next iphone 7, allows more differentiation between products so you don't risk trade-down activity, helping to protect gross margins. outside of confirmation we will not have a massive gross margin risk, i don't expect it to be super meaningful. betty: i know you have an overweight rating on apple, so tell me what makes it, given the scenario in the next 12 months, is there anything that could derail the overweight rating? what would you watch out for? andy: the biggest risk, when i think about it, is the replacement cycles extending. in other words, people who bought iphone 6's, and it takes in three or four years to replace their phones, rather than two years. that would drive decline in unit volume, or at least more stagnant unit volume than what we are expecting. betty: andy, thank you so much. andy hargreaves on apple shares, which have been powering ahead. still ahead, we head to nike's innovation event in new york city. our guest is kevin du

he recently discussed the book with conservative commentator s.e. cupp on "after words." this is an hour. >> host: matt, first when did you start writing this book because it really predicts the landscape of where we are now with this election. it's so timely. take me through the process of windows all formed in your head. guess i think i did get lucky with the timing. somebody said i should buy a powerball ticket because i could see the future is hard to say when you start writing a book. you write a proposal or so when you turn in that manuscript? i would say i've years ago i started writing comma which led me to this book and it was around this time the sarah palin went rogue and i had initially thought i like sarah palin and after the way she kind of got radicalized and changed i started seeing candidates like christine o'donnell and sharon engel who were saying things that i felt uncomfortable with as a conservative. they were playing identity politics. they were casting themselves as the victim playing the victim card which struck me as a conservative and it was in

joining us now, gloria borger, political commentator s.e.cupp, mark preston and our political commentator ana navarro. mark, he's got 678 delegates. we say right now he needs 1237. how likely is it that trump reaches that number by the time of the convention? >> listen, he has about a 55% chance of doing it, i guess. that it could possibly happen. look, a lot has to do with his rhetoric over the next few weeks heading into the next few contests. he has got to be a uniter. he needs to get the establishment behind him. if he's capable of doing that, he'll have an easier road. if not, we are heading to a contested convention. as you were talking with sean spicer earlier, there are going to be riots outside and it is going to be ugly. >> is there a credible path for ted cruz to reach 1237. >> i think it's extremely difficult at best for him to do so. for him his best play is to play it out, himself try to get the establishment behind him and try to win it on the second ballot. >> gloria, you've been doing a lot of reporting on this meeting under

we heard s.e. cupp talk about republican voters being about purity. but this is anything but purity in terms of what they're thinking. >> jeffrey lord does the notion of mitt romney coming out tomorrow making a speech make you shiver? >> actually, i want to send him a contribution for his airfare and -- >> you want him to come out because it reinforces -- >> i hope cnn covers it from beginning to end. what more could he do? to be candid, the leadership of the republican party is at this point incompetent. and this is a prime example. mitt romney should have been president of the united states. he isn't. he thinks this is going to send a message to conservatives? they view him as the godfather of obamacare. they view him as the heir to gerald ford and nelson rockefeller. >> charles, it's not as if mitt romney had been in the public eye even in the last like -- i don't know where he's been living or -- where is he -- just sort of out of the blue he appears again? >> i don't think mitt romney is going to connect with the base of the republican party. i d

s.e. cupp, aaron lewis, lou ver rig low, and barcari sellers. first thing i want to play is a mash up of bernie sanders and hillary clinton last night and how they both referred to donald trump. it's quick, so don't miss it. >> donald trump is a pathological liar. >> what trump has done is like a case of political a are son. he has lit the fire and then he throws his hands up and claims that he shouldn't be held responsible. >> he is saying if you go out and beat somebody up, that's okay. i'll pay the legal fees. that is an outrage. >> so lou, this would be the moment where i say ouch, here are the democrats going after the frontrunner in the gop. but wait, there is more. because it's not just the democrats doing it, it's the republican establishment, as well. the super pac has just come out with this ad, they title it unif unifier. have a look. >> a trump supporter is under arrest tonight after punching a protester at a rally. >> the latest in what some believe is a growing hostile atmosphere. >> next time we might have to kill him. >> donald t

. >> reporter: did you s.e that as a motive? >> i never thought that that in itself would have been a motive to kill her or that he would have been that angry just because of that to kill her. >> reporter: why in the world would rodney want lynn dead? >> i don't think rodney wanted lynn dead. >> here was a person that was willing to help us in the investigation. and he was very cooperative initially and throughout. >> reporter: the search for suspects continued. lynn's neighborhood turned up nothing. same with ft. bliss. lynn had no enemies there. could've happened. it seemed unreal. an army commander being murdered was unheard of. >> reporter: but then one name cropped up. roheey mentioned it to police. >> we asked him who else would have wanted to do this to lynn. did she have any enemies? rodney tells us that there's this one girl. her name is april. and this girl has a crush on my brother. and so he mentions her. and that's important. >>> coming up -- crush? this was way more than that. >> i was kind of playing detective for

. >> the other thing he did, s.e. cupp is clearly reach out to marco rubio and marco rubio voters saying people should give a big hand to marco rubio. >> yeah, they were most closely aligned for the optimism candidate, so i think he felt a real kin sthip with marco rubio and probably wants marco rubio's voters. he knows they're not going to go for trump and probably not going to go for cruz. i think what will be interesting for john kasich now that he's made it to the show is what's going to happen in the days and weeks ahead? he will face scrutiny like he's never had before. that will include donald trump mocking him as the absentee governor. sometimes trump intentionally mispronounces his last name kasich to try to get under his skin. i think you're going to have ted cruz coming after him for his accepting medicaid expansion for obamacare in ohio. and i think you're going to have a slew of, you know, former staffers of john kasich who knew him on the hill talking about how he wasn't that nice of a guy while he was o

say that apple is looking at something closer to the 5s which was introduced in 2013 calling it the s.e. cheaper, four inches and same sort of body as the 5s replacing it as the entry level phone but keeping the guts of the 6s. take a look at the screen. we have a screen grab of this morning what the apple online store has been running. it reads, we can't wait to show you what we have in store. analysts believe the smaller screen and lower price tag is a muf to attract more buyers around the globe, including china which is a huge consoumer of smartphone. analysts say the se will also fight phone fatigue and appeal to the estimated one-third of customers who did not upgrade to those larger screens. >> so people who don't really care to have these larger screen iphones but maybe they don't want to be left behind from everything that is new right now, like apple pay. >> other expectations for this morning's apple event announced by tim cook and bands for the apple watch. no actual new hardware apple will announce an updated ipad at 9.7 inches hoping to reinigivate the sales that have been
