the most remarkable i have ever read. mr. trump's lawyers contend that advertisement you just saw is "an attempt to materially mislead the public." he provides a bit more detail. he says "this attack ad is not only completely disingenuous, but replete with lies, false defamatory and destructive statements and downright fabrications." mr. trump's letter goes on to say the ad "blatantly represents to the public that mr. trump is pro-choice, and nothing could be further from the truth." the letter concludes by threatening that if we will not pull down the ad, that mr. trump will seek immediate legal action to prevent the continued broadcast of this ad. and to hold me jointly liable to the fullest extent of the law for the damages resulting therefrom. i have to say to mr. trump, you have been threatening frivolous lawsuits for your entire adult life. even in the annals of frivolous lawsuits, this takes the cake. so donald, i would encourage you, if you want to file a lawsuit challenging this ad, claiming it is defamation, file the lawsuit. it is a remarkable contention that an ad that pl

endorsement to me that really meant a lot. >> you said, mr. trump,pñ during that announcement yesterday that you get phone calls from other big names that want to endorse you. you chose chris christie. should we expect any big endorsements from you in days to come? >> yes. i think you can. but, you know, frankly, sometimes they want to have dinner and let's get together for two hours. let's go to a movie together. [ laughter ] >> it's too much work. i'm not sure what endorsements mean. i have never understood it i did think that the chris christie endorsement meant a lot. i think the sarah palin endorsement meant a lot. i think that jerry falwell jr. meant a lot. >> do you think these endorsements move needles for you? you said you don't look for endorsements. you don't care about them. do you think it it helps you on super tuesday in any big way? >> i do. i think jerry falwell jr. really helped me a lot with evangelicals. liberty university. i'm leading with evangelicals all over the country. i.ç won in south carolina. that was supposed to be really a strong hold for ted cruz. he was

in the first four states have spoken, and mr. trump has emerged as the front-runner, but in five days, the candidates will face their biggest test yet, super tuesday, when nearly half of the delegates needed to win the republican nomination will be awarded and the biggest prize of the night is texas. immigration is a key issue in this state for all voters nationwide, including the many people watching us tonight on telemundo. so that's where we begin. mr. trump, you've called for a deportation force to remove the 11 million undocumented immigrants from the united states. you've also promised to let, what you call, the good ones come back in. your words, the good ones, after they've been deported. senator cruz would not allow them to come back in. he says, that's the biggest difference between the two of you. he calls your plan amnesty. is it? >> first of all, he was in charge of amnesty. he was the leader, and you can ask marco, because they've been debating this every debate that we've had. as far as coming back in, number one, you wouldn't even be talking and you wouldn't have

searches about eminent domain went up 740%. josh: mr. trump, you have said, i love eminent domain, the seizure of private property for the sake of the greater good, theoretically. you've tried use the measure in business endeavors and said you would support its use for the keystone pipeline project. in new hampshire, a project known as the northern pass would bring hydroelectric energy from canada into the northern grid. do you see eminent domain as a means? it. mr. trump: eminent domain, that person gets two or three times the value of their property. without eminent domain, you don't have roads, highways, schools, bridges or anything. eminent domain, it's not that i love it but eminent domain is a certainly it's a necessity for our country. josh: is that a yes on the northern pass project? governor bush: what donald trump did was use eminent domain to try to take the property of an elderly woman on the strip in atlantic city to turn this into a limousine parking lot for his casinos is not public use. in florida, we made that impossible as partly -- part of our constitution. mr. trump

will do the same. >> mr. trump? >> thank you. my whole theme is make america great again. we don't win anymore as a country. we don't win with trade. we don't win with the military, isis, we can't even knock out isis, and we will, believe me. we will. we don't win in any capacity with health care. we have terrible health care. obamacare is going to be repealed and replaced. we just don't win. you look at our borders, they're like swiss cheese. everybody pours in. we're going to make a great country again. we're going to start winning again. we're going to win a lot. it's going to be a big difference, believe me. it's going to be a big, big difference. >> thank you very much. it's now time to begin questions. voters in the first four states have spoken, and mr. trump has emerged as the front-runner, but in five days, the candidates will face their biggest test yet, super tuesday, when nearly half of the delegates needed to win the republican nomination will be awarded and the biggest prize of the night is texas. immigration is a key issue in this state for all voters nationwide, inc

begin. the death of justice scalia, dr. trott -- mr. trump, i want to start with you. if you were president and had a chance with 11 months to go in would be an abdication to conservatives in particular not to name a conservative justice for the rest of your term? i weretrump: if president now, i would certainly want to try and nominate a justice. i'm sure frankly, i am absolutely sure president obama will try and do it. i think the senate will be able, mitch and the entire group will be stepping about it. -- do something about it. this is a tremendous blow to conservativism, a tremendous blow to our country. dickerson: to be clear, you are ok with the president nominating somebody? donald trump: i think he is going to do it whether i am ok with it or not. .t is up to mitch mcconnell it is called delay, delay, delay. [applause] dickerson: governor kasich, i want to get your thoughts on this. justice scalia with a real believer in the strict word of the constitution. harry reid says if we do not fill the vacancy it would be a shameful neglect of one of the senate house additional a

election on mr. trump's core issue, particularly that it is going to be a good issue for texas. but why wait until the day before the election? so that is the key here. and i think most people know at this point in the game they're going to be throwing all kinds of allegations just to hurt mr. trump. deirdre: okay. to your point, before super tuesday, and especially where texas is such an important state, senator cruz's home state and one where donald trump is obviously competing very seriously. now speaking of that, the fur is flying at least if you look at weekend exchanges. top candidates for the republican presidential nomination, you had florida senator rubio mocking from the time runner donald trump before a heavily college-aged crowd. here is a sound bite. >> always calling me little marco. i will admit he is taller than me. he is like 6'2", why i don't understand why his hands are the size of someone's who's 5'2". have you seen his hands? they're like this. and you know what they say about men with small hands. >> little marco rubio, a total, total feather weight. he is not

. he talked about his experiences in negotiating deals overseas. mr. trump: i'm a negotiator. i've done very well over the years through negotiation. it's very important that we do that. in all fairness, marco is not a negotiator. i watched him melt down, and i tell you, it was one of the saddest things i've ever seen. he's not going down -- >> he thinks this is a real estate deal. mr. trump: these people may even be tougher than chris christie. senator rubio: this is not a real estate deal. when you're dealing with terrorists -- mr. trump: you're not a negotiator. with your thinking, you will never -- you will never -- i repeat, you will never bring -- senator rubio: i bring -- this is not a real estate deal. mr. trump: he will never be able to do t. i think i may be able to do it, although i will say this, probably the toughest deal of any kind is that particular deal. host: as you hear donald trump, that has really been one of the key hall marks of his candidacy. he's an outsider. he's a businessman. he knows how to make a deal. he wrote the best-selling book "the art of the dea

other candidates. this is 45 minutes. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome mr. dollinger trump. trump. donald j. [applause] mr. trump: thank you everybody. thank you. thank you very much. [applause] so nice. thank you very much. please visit down. we had a very exciting evening last night. you know the work caucus, it's a little complicated. you don't know how it's going to work out. they say it's hard to poll. but we really one day last night. we ended up getting 46% of the vote. during the day, i saw all these people, they are all saying donald, we love you donald. will you don't know what's going to happen. and service we turned on the tv, it was obvious from the beginning. we had an extraordinary night. one of the things that made me so happy is, as you saw, we totally won with evangelicals. we were big league with evangelicals. it was such a good thing. we worked very hard. i am presbyterian, protestant. i was going to talk to pat, to is a great gentlemen. i have watched him over the years. the job he has done is incredible. i have to tell you, it's an honor to be with pat. i look forward to having him really.

trump needs no introduction. we are delighted he's here and he is all yours. mr. trump. mr. trump: hello, everybody. any questions? >> why is there so much bad blood between you and the bush family? mr. trump: it only has to do with me. very fair question. there is no bad blood. what has happened is jeb bush has spent about $20 billion on negative ads that in many cases are false. he has a lot of special-interest money. his campaign in my opinion is going absolutely nowhere but he has spent $20 million on negative ads on me. i think you would do better if he went positive. the only reason i bring it up is that we have to respond to those negative ads. no bad blood. >> what about george w. bush? >> once he enters the fray, like bill clinton enters the fray -- and i helped bernie sanders much more than he helped himself, believe me. if you look at it, that is when she started going down and that race started getting competitive. just take a look, you study the numbers and study the dates. she attacked me and i attacked her and that's when she went down and that race got competitive. only o

. mr. trump: it is interesting. my sons are hunters, and they love hunting, and they know about your moose. is that from disease? wow. wow. that is unbelievable. that is down 50%. wow, that is amazing. look at that. that is incredible. yes, go ahead. well, i do support the death penalty. i have to be a little careful with that. if some but he kill somebody, i support the death penalty, and i support the death penalty for policeman who get killed. you know, and officers said they pulled the trigger. death penalty. i do not understand people who do not. you have cases where a guy will come up to and 85-year-old woman, punch her in the face, shoot her in the head, rape her kill her, and then they put them in jail for 25 years. how you can even think of that and i have friends who are good people, and they say "no, no it is cruel and unusual punishment. " it is like the other day when they talked about waterboarding and they said actually to ted cruz. they were talking to him about it, and you could see he was hedging. he did not want to get involved too much. "well, i don't know her quo

immediately, to find out if mr trump has got the votes he was looking for there in the caucus. what happens here just to get you right up to speed on the process, we are not expecting something to be a parliamentary number. so we will get a drip drip drip effect as the percentages come through. there had been a feeling the people in the caucus in nevada were angry enough to go for mr trump, but smart money says that is pretty much a done deal. what is interesting about this is the marco rubio/ted cruz contest, because marco rubio has to knock out mr cruz or vice versa. as soon as we begin to get that result, we will bring it to you live here on al jazeera. staying in the states, republican squaring up for a fight against the u.s. president over his refreshed plans as of yesterday to finally close down guantanamo bay. it is an effort to deliver on a pledge he made more than seven years ago. he believes the existence of it undermines america's standing around the world. >> reporter: it was one of his first promises in office, and now u.s. president obama is hoping in his last year he

now that everyone knows what happened, it's time to move on. >> mr. trump was forced to cancel a campaign event here in new hampshire today because of the snow. he, of course, flew home last night in his private jet so he could sleep in his own bed and he risked missing a full day of campaigning right before the primary. he could have just stayed in new hampshire overnight. i stayed at the hanover inn last night, it was lovely. can you explain to the voters why he so seldom spends a night on the road? isn't staying in a state one of the great ways to meet actual voters? >> well, he actually had a campaign event. it wasn't the fact that he wanted to go home. i'll also say that it has been rescheduled to monday so it's not being skipped. mr. trump has been in the state for quite some time. he's been there this week and will be there tomorrow and staying through tuesday. so it's not that mr. trump is skipping. it's just when there's 10 inches of snow on the ground and you can't get in, i think it's best for everyone's safety to just reschedule it, don't you think so? >> after coming

. that wbur poll in massachusetts has mr. trump leading in massachusetts by 21 points. there are two recent polls out of georgia right now on the republican side. both of them show mr. trump leading, one by 12%. one by 26%. the only place on the forthcoming calendar donald trump is not leading. the only state where that's true is the great state of texas. in texas, it does look like ted cruz could win there. there have been five polls released on the texas race over the last three days. one shows a tie between senator cruz and mr. trump. the other four show senator cruz leading in his home state by a range of anywhere from 1 point to 15 points. so, what do you do if you are donald trump presidential front runner and you are leading in every single state in the country except for one, which is the home state of one of your competitors. if you are leading everywhere in the country, are you donald trump, obviously what you do, you go to that one state where you are fought leading. you hold a raucous sweating yelling and hollering red faced scream your lungs out rally in front of 8,000 p

massachusetts has mr. trump leading by 21 points in massachusetts. there's two recent polls out of georgia right now on the republican side. both of them show mr. trump leading. one by 12%. one by 26%. the only place on the forthcoming calendar where donald trump is not leading where one of his competitors appear to be enjoying a home state advantage. the only state where that's true is the great state of texas. it does look like ted cruz could win there. there's been five polls released on the texas race over the last three days. one of them shows a tie between senator cruz and mr. trump. the other four show senator cruz leading in his home state by a range of anywhere from one point to 15 points. what do you do if you are donald trump presidential front-runner and leading in every single state many the country except for one, which is the home state of one of your competitors. if you're leading everywhere and you're donald trump, you go to that one state where you're not leading. you hold a red face, scream your lungs out rally in front of 8,000 pumped up texans in ft. worth. if

think mr. trump's plan represents the republican party. given how well he's been doing with the republican primary voters, do you still believe that? >> i believe in liberty and justice for all. i think everything we do should by fair and i've already described how we can secure the bord border. it's not just people from south america and mexico. but there are terrorists who want to destroy us and we have to stop that. but in terms of the people here already after we stop the illegal immigration, we need to be reasonable. and i would give them a six month period in which to get registered as a guest worker, assuming they have an acceptable record. they have to pay a back tax penalty and taxes going forward but they don't have to live underground anymore. and i think they do not become american citizens, they do not vote. if they want to become an american citizen, they go through exactly the same process everybody else goes through. and we have other ways of utilizing our facilities and our talents as foreign aid. doing things in south america and central america and mexico that

? >> thank you so much. great to be with you tonight. mr. trump has had the most pro-america message out of all of the campaigns, particularly when he announced that stopping illegal immigration, and that resonates here in the country. and not to mention jobs and the economy. i mean, this is a big key. and most other candidates aren't even talking about this. we're at a time where you have marco rubio and senator cruz pushing something like tpa, which fast-tracked obama's secret trade deals when nafta in the state of south carolina eliminated a third of the jobs. this is going to resonate all across the south, because mr. trump has been against that trans-pacific partnership since day one. >> one of the big things that also happened tonight, not only the big win for your guy, donald trump, was governor bush. he dropped out of the race. donald trump did not mention jeb bush in his victory speech. other candidates did. why not? >> well, mr. trump thanked everyone for being in the race. he said candidates, plural, and he also made a mention of marco rubio and ted cruz, who are battling

frustrated over the direction of the economy. mr. trump continues to lead in -- his leadough he has narrowed. one of the more recent in-state public polls showed him narrowly ahead of senator rubio, about six percentage points. we have senator cruz in third place and senator -- excuse me, kasich way back. , estate that reflects the nation as a whole, is something of a reflection of this national race. county in terms of student population, fairfax county, closing tuesday. the administration is expecting a huge turnout. what about the rest of the state? >> to your point, at least 20 school systems will be closing on tuesday to accommodate polling. there will be another -- number of other school systems opening late to accommodate polling. virginia is not a state in which voters register by party. to simultaneous primaries. voters have to go into their polling places, request a ballot, express their preferences, and then take their leave. but there are a number of new restrictions put in place on voting in virginia. many of them pushed by republicans, including a photo id law that is

on day one, who has the experience, who has the temperament to be commander in chief. mr. trump, senator cruz has said about you right here in new hampshire this week, quote, i don't know anyone who would be comfortable with someone who behaves this way, having his finger on the button. we're liable to wake up one morning, and if he were president, he would nuke denmark. saying that's temperament to keep this country safe. >> i think i have the best temperament. i built a massive corporation. i employ thousands and thousands of people. i've gotten along with people for years and years, have tremendous relationships with many people, including politicians on both sides. and no matter how you cut it, when i came out, i hit immigration, i hit it very hard. everybody says, oh, the temperament, because i talked about illegal immigration. now, everybody's coming to me, they're all trying to say, well, he's right, we have to come to him. i hit other things. i talked about muslims. we have a problem. nobody else wanted to mention the problem. i brought it up. i took a lot of heat. we have to hav

been fined for hiring people illegally. mr. trump: i am the only one that has hired people. sally: candidates clashing over immigration. senator cruz: when i was leading the fight against the gang of eight, where was donald? he was firing dennis rodman on "celebrity apprentice." kelly: a jim was used when saying mexico will not pay for a wall at the border. mr. trump: the wall just got 15 feet taller. he used a filthy, disgusting word on television. he should be ashamed. >> if he builds the wall like they built trump towers, he will use illegal immigration to do it. sally: they talked about the vacancy on the u.s. supreme court. >> i have appointed over 100 judges as governor. i even appointed a judge to the ohio supreme court. they are conservatives. sally: trumping cruz. mr. trump: i am beating him in the polls. senator cruz going you are not beating hillary. mr. trump: if i cannot beat her, you are really going to get killed. sally: in washington, sally kidd, wyff 4 news. carol: on the democratic side, and a news 4 exclusive, wyff news 4's nigel robertson talked one on one with

restricted by the way to mr. trump. i find it interesting that everybody's focused on trump because he says in more interesting ways what the other candidates are saying as well. he may up the ante in anti-muslim sentiment, but if you look at what the other republican candidates have said, that's pretty troubling too. he may express strong anti-immigration sentiment, but you've heard that from the other candidates as well. i'll leave it to you to speculate on how this race will go. i continue to believe mr. trump will not be president. the reason is because i have a lot of faith in the american people. i think they recognize that being president is a serious job. it's not hosting talk show or a reality show. it's not promotion. it's not marketing. it's hard. a lot of people count on us getting it right. the american person are pretty sensible. i think they'll make a sensible choice in the end. all right. thanks, everybody. thank you. >> president obama at a press conference today in california. presidents don't usually play pundit but when they do it tends to be very interesting. they

say? >> i have to say, mr. trump, you have been threatening frivolous lawsuits your entire live. even in the annals of frivolous lawsuits, this takes the cake. >> i've had great success in business, great success in lawsuits, great success in things i do. i don't know that we're going to have a lawsuit but we certainly want to keep somebody honest. when he makes statements like, for example, i'm pro-life and he said he's not pro life. >> but it's safe to say you haven't always been pro life. >> that's true. ronald reagan likewise. >> what happened? when did that change come? >> it changed years ago. and what happened is i saw things with people and people that i know and people that i respect that made me change. ronald reagan changed. he said he evolved, he used that expression. >> right. >> ronald reagan actually used to be a fairly liberal democrat and he became a fairly conservative conservative. i mean fairly. >> but ted cruz says we can't count on donald trump in the future, especially in picking supreme court justices, if he's changed in the past. so how do you convince a

, and nobody is going to mess with us. that, i can tell you. >> mr. trump, thank you. i want to bring this to senator cruz then. behavior, that's not the tempt country safe. why not? >> well, the assessment the voters are making here, they are evaluating each and every one of us. they are looking to our experience. knowledge. they are looking to our temperament and judgment. they are looking to our clarity resolve. the world is getting much more dangerous. we've had seven years with barack obama in the oval office, a commander in chief that is unwilling even to acknowledge the enemy we're facing. this is a president who, in the wake of paris, in the wake of san bernardino, will not even use the word radical islamic terrorism, much less focus on defeating the enemy. i am convinced, every individual standing on this stage, would make a much better commander in chief than barack obama or hillary clinton or bernie sanders. and the primary voters are making the assessment for each of us, who is best prepared to rebuild the military, to rebuild our navy, our air force, our army, our m

be with you tonight. mr. trump has had the most proamerica message out of all of the campaigns. particularly when he announced stopping illegal immigration and that resonates here in the country and not to mention jobs and the economy. this is a big key and most other candidates aren't even talking about this. we have marco rubio and senator cruz pushing something like eta, when naftau eliminated a third of the jobs. he's been against that transpacific partnership since day one. >> and not only the big win for your guy, donald trump, was also governor bush, he dropped out of the race. donald trump did not mention jeb bush in his victory speech. other candidates did. . why not? >> well, mr. trump thanked everyone for being in the race. he said candidate said pluro and made a mention of marco rubio and ted cruz battling for second place. he still didn't seem to resonate with voters p. right now we're going to focus on moving forward to nevada and spread the message to make america great again. >> you could have said jeb bush, thanks for playing. every other candidate did that ton

actually him a liar. let's go. go ahead. .inaudible question) mr. trump: this is a different this is for gitmo, but you folks haven't asked that it'sion yet because ridiculous that they're moving people into this area and we're win we're and if i moving them out. and nay shouldn't be closing gitmo, they should not be closing it in any way, shape or form. movingy shouldn't be people, hard eped criminals, into this area, and i will stop it. and if i don't stop it in terms of time, if i win, they're going back. i'd keep it each, we have to be lament, we'll look at everybody's case, certainly, and you don't want to have people that are innocent of something suffering. but you have some very hardened people. we want to keep it open and that's the way i feel. and i don't want people coming into this area. i've had such complaints, i've had people from south carolina calling me, asking me do this press conference about guantanamo bay. and there's not going to be any people coming here, and frankly i think the governor should be it.ng a strong stand on (inaudible question). trump: eventually the

inspire us all. mr. trump: good morning to be here. supposedly i lost. probably would've called pat, i don't know if i want to be there today. no, we had a great evening. pat: you are working on a project in washington, pennsylvania avenue the old post , office building. everybody wanted this, but you got it. "the art of the deal" -- what did you do? donald trump: it is a great -- built built in to in the 1880's. thick walls made of solid granite. today they use like plastic, right? one of the most beautiful buildings in washington. for years it was a post office. i way say to people, if you can get the post office in a city, you get the best location. this was the one for washington. they put it outot bid. -- out to bid. it was one of the most hotly contested projects ever. big landlord. they chose us. it's a great honor because we were chosen in the obama administration, which is sort of amazing. a lot of people did not think we were able to get it. we have a great financial staff we want to make sure it gets . we want to make sure it gets done. we have a great track record for this

big deal to me. all the other candidates have donors they have to answer to, but not mr. trump. >> at 7:00, we are going to go behind the scenes. come with us as we get the all access pass and perhaps you can gather your perspectives on the front runner here in south carolina. >>> the formerment bill clinton was back in the up state democratic presidential candidate hillary clinton. the former president made a stop at the west end community center in greenville and highlighted his wife's background as secretary of state and work on healthcare and foreign policy. bill clinton said hillary clinton is not a single issue candidate and he said she would work on behalf of all people. >> you got working people saying what about me? you got millennials and college students saying "what about me"? the reason hillary is running for president is to make sure the american dream is available to 100% of the american people. >> at 7:00, dave jordan will have a report on former president clinton's remarks and you will hear from voters who were at the rally. >>> cnn will host the first of two town hal
