i was a huge huge carly fiorina fan and supporter. i think her most notable moment is when donald trump talked about her face and she responded so eloquently during the debate and i think she has the capacity of young conservative women taking a second look at ted cruz. for me, honestly i've been hesitant about ted cruz and the carly fiorina endorsement swayed my opinion. >> i don't think it does. i think carly's vote went elsewhere, to other candidates, some of them went to cruz and some of them went elsewhere. the percentage of her votes was at the time, 3%, 2%, that she dropped out. yes, do i think she is influential? yes. but the number of people she can influence i don't think is ultimately going to impact the race. >> you know, i think the only guy that can make a huge difference in this race, to match my prediction, is arnold schwarzenegger. when he supports john kasich, i think that's going to pay huge dividends because, my gosh, that's the terminator. having said that, i wonder, do endorsements matter? because if -- listen, n

>> you know, i have known carly fiorina for some time. i was the chairman of the california republican party when she was our nominee for the united states senate in 2010. she was a very, very, and still is, a very powerful spokesperson. she has a constituency in the republican party. she's going to be a great asset to the cruz team going forward. it's clear ted cruz has a tremendous amount of momentum. he's only 99 delegates behind donald trump. the field continues to narrow. most republicans don't want donald trump to be the nominee. as the race becomes a two-person race, those republicans who want an alternative to donald trump, a proven conservative, will have an opportunity to nominate ted cruz. this is terrific news. we're very excited about it. >> how is it terrific news when you know she was a candidate, carly fiorina's jobs record was questioned, laying off american workers, outsourcing, being a failed businesswoman and a failed candidate. what does she bring to the equation here of benefit to senator cruz? >> well, i think, look

carly fiorina: how are you guys doing? you know, your state, your region is known as first and freedom, right? you guys led the curve and declared independence before anyone else and you have the opportunity to lead the nation on tuesday as well by making sure that ted cruz walks out of here with a win. [applause] how many of you saw the debate the other night? good. what i saw is what i always see. substantiveuz being and serious and offering real solutions and israel policies for real problems we have. donald trump, not so much. you may have noticed that the next morning, donald trump said, he thought maybe we had enough debates and we should not have any more debates. man up on that, you are going to have to debate ted cruz. [applause] i ran forina: president because i think we need a conservative in the white house. i ran for president because i think the system, the status quo, the cartel works if you are big, powerful and well-connected, but it does not work for the rest of us, and so, about two weeks ago, in my home

carly fiorina fully behind ted cruz. clearly the cruz campaign smells some blood in the water when it comes to marco rubio who had a brutal night. as we sit here right now, i don't think marco rubio won one delegate. joining me to discuss, the editor for "the florida sun-sentinel" and a ted cruz super pac backer. also with us, susan, former rudy giuliani administration official and senior adviser and spokesperson for the committee to draft speaker ryan as president. if only we had time to talk about that but we don't. rosemary, i want to talk with you, in florida right now, a lot of talk about what marco rubio should or shouldn't do after this really bad night for him. what happens to his career going forward in your state if he doesn't win florida? >> you know, it has all unravelled so quickly. he has bet everything on winning here and yet, as you point out, the latest polls show him down 20 percentage points to trump. you know, we didn't endorse marco rubio in this election and he's our home town senator because we don

when it comes to early voters carly fiorina doesn't matter one bit. where it might matter is establishment figures coming over to ted cruz's side right now. carly ran a presidential campaign where she pretended to be an outsider. she was an insider and is an insider but a more important endorse happened yesterday, neil bush the brother of george bush and g.w. bush. >> let's talk about florida. you know florida well. likely republican voters in florida next tuesday, trump 40%, rubio 24%, cruz 19%. kasich 5%. looking -- you see the other polls too. even with a bigger advantage in florida for trump. any way that rubio can turn it around? if he doesn't win the state everyone agrees it will certainly be over. >> most think he this is the hill he will die on or keep alive longer. depending on the poll. we have a lot of early and absentee ballots. we are looking at 2.3 million republicans voting. how good of a game has rubio had in turning out the voters? we don't know. we know from polls that if people back a love donald trump. there was a chance they voted

carly fiorina endorsing ted cruz. my name is no longer next to the ballot box but now i'm endorsing ted cruz. how surprising is that? >> not really. i don't think there were massive amounts of carly fiorina voters that she could bring with her to ted cruz. any former rival -- >> she took him on multiple times in the past. >> that's right. that is a validation. and that is a totally good endorsement for ted cruz to tout. he needed some good news after not adding to his delegate total in a significant fashion yesterday. he is trying to move on from what was a big night for donald trump. no doubt about that. what i thought was interesting is how carly fiorina described how she was endorsing it. it linked up their messages that i hadn't seen so much this the campaign. she had witness running against over and over again the political class in washington. and that has been ted cruz's brand ever since he got to washington. so it kind of fit. and i think that carly fiorina was able to sort of not just endorse her support for

there's carly fiorina making the rounds. governor scott was on fox news talking to someone right now. it is interesting when you see rick scott. he wanted to make it clear because everyone wanted to know the answer, nobody. not until after the primary on tuesday. then what do you expect to see in tonight's debate? he expects to see questions about the economy. jobs, jobs, jobs. but i wanted to know, like you, what was going on with him on morning joe. he was asked a question in related to something trump said yesterday. here how it played out. >> donald trump can talk about the things he wants to talk about. marco rubio, ted cruz, john kasich. >> no. no. no. that's not answering any questions. rick, rick, rick. i know you and joe are friends and this is kind of awkward, but can you answer the question or should we scoot? >> well, i can tell you i'm glad everybody is in florida. the debate will be fun tonight. >> reporter: yeah. just kind of went on like that. it was awkward to say the least. seemed like a simple question. yo

listen to ted cruz and carly fiorina, tell a reporter if he has been unfaithful to his wife, ted cruz that is. >> this is an example of the media playing to donald trump's tune. >> look, i will give a very brief answer to your question which is "the national enquirer" story is complete garbage. it is total lies. it was planted by donald trump's henmen. i don't think people of wisconsin or people of america have any interest in tabloid trash. trish: fears over my grant sex attacks leading to creation women only train on german train cars, for women only. this is german politicians demand migrants integrate and learn the language or move their right to -- lose their right to stay in germany. get back to breaking story. according to arrest report that has just come in, this video you're looking at, backs up what the reporter, breitbart reporter told police in the city, you can see michelle fields trying to ask donald trump a question. her arm is extend the out at one point so that you can see she is trying to record his answer on her phone. lewandowski comes up from behind, grabs her arm

carly fiorina now backing ted cruz. front runner donald trump says all this opposition is taking advantage of the country. let's bring in fox news media analyst, thank you for joining us. >> good morning. kalobios heather: you call it political carpet bombing. that is what is going on. >> all the remnants of the gop establishment are scrambling onto this rickety boat to mount an assault on the trump battleship. a have every right to do it. it started with mitt romney and now other people endorsing but it has an air of desperation. two weeks at this level of intensity. as we saw tuesday when trump won mich. a hawaii and three states that were up, it just doesn't seem to be working. heather: chris christie is throwing support behind donald trump, carly fiorina as we said endorsed ted cruz. jeb bush meeting with different candidates including marco rubio. here is what he had to say. >> i would love to have support. i would not be presumptuous to say but it was a meeting the week two people have known each other for 20 year

does carly fiorina in any way help him do that, katie? >> well, i think what carly does, i don't disagree that she does appeal to a conservative base that cruz is already appealing to but one thing she does is remind people of the fact that donald trump has been very degrading and demeaning to women. he's got a history of that. it's why he has a significant gender gap even in the republican primary. it's much, much larger in the general election and carly is a reminder of the way that he treated her on a very public stage and it's helpful to have women in leadership that are conservatives standing up saying this cannot be our standard bearer or we will lose terribly in november. >> and i can hear senator cruz repeating that infamous line, right? about carly fiorina's face? >> look, i wish donald trump hadn't said that line. that being said, it's important to notice that this is not a gender thing. he's critiqued marco rubio's appearance as well. it's not a gender specific thing. you're wrong to say he's not winning women. he tied cruz in

ted cruz is getting support from annex rifle, former candidate carly fiorina, endorsing the texas senator at his rally in miami today. she said she would vote in the primary, her home state. the surprise endorsement comes as cruz tries to consolidate support and challenge donald trump for the republican nomination carly fiorina, you may remember dropped out of the race last months. democrats face off in a few hours. dave hours. david sutta is live. >> reporter: this is the media filing center, see all media from local, state, national, international, everyone filing a report, print or television or internet. lot of attention going on here. in miami-dade, roughly 1.3 million registered voters, a majority are democrat. they will be watching tonight. >> reporter: the stage is set for the debate since october, what was once 5 candidates is now down to two, bernie sanders and secretary of state, hilary clinton. >> running for president shouldn't be about delivering insults, it should be about delivering results. >> reporter: clinton pointing out the debates have been drastically different than

appreciate it. >> so tell us, what's your reaction to carly fiorina's endorsement of ted cruz? >> well, i think it's what you would -- i think you'd see this. there are people out there that are trying to find a way. i think there's also some motivation, personal motivation behind it. i think that mrs. fiorina ran a reasonable campaign and i think that there probably is an affinity between her and senator cruz. it probably is a natural endorsement for her. >> it is likely that carly fiorina remembers the comment about her face by donald trump, as do many of women voters. are you confident that donald trump can overcome that and appeal to women voters in the rest of the primaries, but in a general election? >> i think so. and i think what you really see here is that the people are voting across the united states right now in a series of primaries and caucuses. we've seen record turnout across the board. i think we're looking at like 35% -- 35% increase in turnout in the primary cycle, which is pretty remarkable. i think that you see, you know, almost 80% of the vote going to peo

of course. >> carly fiorina, good to talk to you again. thank you very much. >> thanks. >>> as we've been reporting, it's looking more and more like the republicans could be on the road to a contested convention, the convention set for july in cleveland. and the magic number to clinch the nomination is 1237 delegates. still, a lot of questions to be answered between now and july. trump says even if he falls short of the magic number, that he should get the nomination, for instance, and predicts there will be riots if there's a contested convention. riot, threats aside, though, we wanted to look at what a contested convention would look like. tom foreman joins us to explain. >> anderson, you mentioned the magic number. what that means is the number of delegates that any one of these guys has to get to clinch the nomination. and this is the delegate count right now. so you see they still have some way to go. if anyone gets to it, it's all over. if not, if you get to july and the convention and nobody has that number, you already have what's

. >>> carly fiorina stole headlines last week when she endorsed ted cruz. today she spoke to jackie nespral. >> i asked carly fiorina if donald trump should be held accountable for what's happening in at some of his rallies. >> let's talk about donald trump and the violence we've seen in his some of his rallies. some of them have been cancelled, including one here in south florida at doral. some say that he is responsible for someef that because of the tone that his campaign has taken. how would you assess that situation? >> well, you know, first i think we need to be honest and say protesters are showing up as part of an organized effort to shut these rallies down and to gain media attention and they're succeeding. let's not imagine that this is just spontaneous protesting going on. these are organized groups who have a purpose in shutting down people who attend donald trump's rallies, opportunity to exercise their first amendment rights. it's also true, however, that tone starts at the top. you don't see these scenes of violence at other candidates' campa

we are here inside the ted cruz town hall event that is happening, and which former candidate carly fiorina has just shown up in the last couple of minutes. faith assembly church, about 1200 people on hand for this town hall that is taped for later broadcast. has been talking about standard themes, eliminating the department of education, 25 programs within the government, and earlier he bashed donald trump for having very little grasp of how government day does not understand where growth comes from because he has said a system better than he does. and he may well be right because donald is the system, he is washington. notice his perspective is government is the answer to everything, whatever the problem is, we need more government. for every issue he does not agree with obama and hillary, he good enough job. he will negotiate a better deal. here' s the key -- if you want that never come out of his mouth, small business. greg: we are back live faith assembly church on curry ford road in orlando, ted cruz joined by carly fiorina who mid-february. some have been talking about her mate for t

carly forgot who the candidate was. >> ted cruz had quite a pit bull in carly fiorina. i would say she does ted cruz an enormous favor. she has been at the receiving end of donald trump's not so flattering comments about her looks. lou: what do you think of that? >> it's what we expect of carly fiorina. >> the bigger scoop is that the cia hired a hooker to murder antonin scalia. if we are taking national enquirerrer stories seriously we should be talking about that and hillary clinton being on death's door. lou: where would you like to go. >> something beyond tabloid garbage. lou: how about nato and the degree that you agree or disagree pant rebalancing of nato to meet a large array of potential enemies is probably well-remembered anremember d isd and he's leading the agenda. >> he says the americans contribute too much disproportionately. lou: do you disagree with this? this is a serious matter. >> i think that's a good question and i would say i don't think we should withdraw from nato. lou: did donald trump suggest we do? >> i'm answering your question and i'm glad w

carly fiorina's endorsement an unusual pickup for him. she was polling very, very low before she got out of the race. but remember what she did on that debate stage when she was in? she attacked donald trump successfully, some would argue, at a time when not many people were going after donald trump, and she also repeatedly went after hillary clinton, too. so expect to see her in that same role. hear what she had to say in south florida when she gave him that endorsement. >> there are some people in our party now who are saying, you know, donald trump wouldn't be so bad. [ booing ] >> i mean -- okay, maybe he's a liberal, maybe he's a fraud, but at least he's a deal maker. we can make deals with him.

>> carly fiorina was running on this brand of an outsider. she was never really part of the party establishment, the party insiders, the folks inside the beltway. that said her endorsement could be significant in a couple of ways, not because she has so much support, she was polling very low before she got out of the race, but potentially for her role as an attack dog surrogate against donald trump and against hillary clinton if cruz makes it far enough and if she is the democratic nominee to take her on. cruz talking about the delegate situation when it comes to how he will play here in florida. listen to what he had to say. >> it is a simple question of math whether or not one can get to 1237 votes. if a candidate does not have a path to the nomination, then it is time for that candidate to prayerfully reflect with their family whether there is a path forward for them. if there is not, then it is up to each of the candidates to make that decision. >> that's a line we've been hearing from cruz, this idea that candidates should prayerfully re

we saw carly fiorina slowing her support behind ted cruz. how significant is that and what does that mean to you? >> i like carly have much but i don't think it makes a difference. it is down to a trump and a cruz race. cruz is the substantive guy. he has to make his argument why his policies are more substantive and can move the country forward. trump can throe rocks against the window. what the victory showed last night, 59% of the republican voters are very angry with the republicans in congress and the republicans in washington. he is basically the outsider. cruz has to make the charge. i'm an outsider too and i'm going to change it and i know how it works. heather: one of the things carly fiorina says, cruz is the one man that can beat donald trump and the d.c. cartel. it's clear they are trying to come across as the outsider as well. >> ed is right. 59% want somebody from the outside. it's actually big per numbers from that in terms of their support of trump and cruz. 81% of those people picked trump or cruz last night which means kasi

. >>>> i am very pleased to introduce someone you know very well, miss carly fiorina. >> just moments ago at miami-dade college, carar fiorina announced she was throwing her support behind ted cruz. julia bagg is live at the downtown miami campus and this is huge. how did people react? >> reporter: shly, the crowd here loved it and the texas senator saking to his supporters now and in the last few minutes talking to hem about how he will restore the u.s. military with the ability that they deserve to have, to be able to fight battles abroad. also he's talking about how he claims he is the only candidate who has proven to beat donald trump now eight times. that's what he's touting. let's go ahead and look at what things were like when carly fiorina took the stage, electrifying. [ inaudible ] >> she said he is fearless and he's not afraid to take on the status kuo. have a listen to what else she said. >> we're going to have to beat donald trump at the ballot box, and the only guy who canbeat donald trump is ted cruz. >> the crowd certainly loving that, but then also happening just downs

joining me by phone, carly fiorina herself. thank you for taking a moment out and being with us by phone. >> caller: it is my pleasure, kate, how are you doing? >> i'm well, thank you. i'm in florida, the weather couldn't be better. >> caller: yes, florida beat iowa and new hampshire in february for sure. >> it does. it does. you have had fairly unkind word for ted cruz in the past. in january you said ted cruz is just like any other politician. he says one thing in manhattan. says another thing in iowa. he says whatever he needs to say to get elect end then he's gonna do as he pleases. >> caller: i know this is the game that get paid here when an endorsement happens. look, before i ever had a conversation with ted cruz to discuss an endorsement or anything else. i went into the voting booth in the virginia primary. i had it think long and hard about who to vote for. would have been tempting to check the box for myself. it is cool it see your name on a presidential ballot but i had to think long and hard about why i ran for pre

former presidential candidate carly fiorina is with us right now. she endorsed ted cruz yesterday. miss fiorina, thank you so much for joining us, carly, i mean that because it seems like the people in this contest are now taking sides. i mean, you are -- the anti-trump faction for lack of a better phrase and, of course, ben carson is due to come out for trump tomorrow. chris christie has come out for trump tomorrow. this battle royal. this end game working out, how do you see it? >> well, you know, one of the things i appreciate about ted cruz and that i tried to do in my own presidential campaign is he never gets down in the dirt. he doesn't hurl insults. his tone isn't angry or violent. he doesn't talk about spray tans or body parts. he talks about the issues. he talks about the substance. and i think that is what voters desperately want. and i think tonight what was crystal clear is that ted cruz has a lot of substance. and donald trump doesn't. i think what was also crystal clear tonight is this is a two-man race and only ted cruz can beat donald trump at the ballot box which

charles: stacey, today ted cruz gotten dors am of carly fiorina. -- got the endorsement of carly fiorina, does that make a difference? >> i think it will with some voters, the bigger issue is future as tammy mentioned. someone who is very young. if he looks forward to running for presidency, losing florida this go is a death nel. i would love to see him, she is not going to win, trump is going to win florida. he seems to come in a close second, i don't think it would be cruz. he has to look at exiting the race, throwing his support to someone he can rally for. trying to salvage of what left of hid reputation after a brute at campaign season for him. charles: ford, we ran out of time, yes or no, do you think rubio get out before or after. >> after, his career not over. charles: wow thank you. >> we really appreciate it,ure numbers have been through the roof. lou dobbs is next. >> i am lou dobbs, donald trump close ing to securing the republican presidential nomination, with impressive victories in three states last night. michigan, mississippi and hawaii, trump pulled it off despite a bar

liz: do you know how you know he may be that person carly fiorina says he is, that could possibly be donald trump when you hear donald trump talk about it, he has a good sense that ted cruz is the one to battle at the moment and it hit him hard at that news conference last night which some people thought was terrific and others thought was lower went, constantly why're and all that. >> not a single issue. liz: two of these issue is, a lot of our viewers. all the tax plans of all republicans and democrats add to the deficit and a lot of tax friendly ideas that seem to them simply balloon the deficit. what is going to do about that? >> for starters ted has put more proposals for cutting spending on the table than any other candidate. you have to do that when you are spending more than you are taking in. it is a hard thing to do politically. nobody wants to identify cuts here or there. donald trump hasn't done that. ted cruz has done that. i saw steve more yesterday and steve has been an your network frequently said ted cruz has the best tax plan. ted -- steve is all about what gives us

also joining us carly fiorina who i got to know and come to admi admire. you made a big endorsement for senator cruz. >> i did. i was proud to do it. i tell you how i got there. it was before i even had had a long meeting with the senator. i live in virginia with my husband frank and i went into the voting booth. >> you decided right there? >> let me tell the story. so i see my own name on the ballot. that's kind of cool. i think about all of my supporters and for a moment i thought, maybe i should cast a vote not for me but for my supporters then i thought why did i run for president? i think we need a real conservative in the white house. we need someone who is actually going to challenge the system. because i think we need someone who is going to stick to the substance not talk about spray tans and body parts actually understands these are serious signs of serious issues and they need serious solutions. when i thought about that i thought this is a man who i know the kind of nominees he is going to put in the supreme court. the supreme court hangs in th

joining us, carly fiorina. carly, welcome. great to see you. >> thank you. great to be with you. >> he didn't have any victories last night. so what is his path forward from here? >> well, look. ted cruz has always said this needs to get down to a two-man race, and it hasn't been a two-man race wchl all due respect to john kasich who has, as expects, won his home state, he has no path to the nomination. i understand how hard it is to let your supporters down and maybe he thinks he's going to hang in there and be picked in a brokered convention. truthfully the only way to beat donald trump -- and i want to beat him. he doesn't represent me, he doesn't represent our party or so many of whose are conservatives and republicans, the only way to beat him is at the ballot box and the only person to do that is ted cruz. i urge people who do not want him to be our standard bird to unite now behind ted cruz. >> the question heading into the general election, how do you beat hillary clinton? doesn't ted cruz need to move to the middle with independent voters to do that

deirdre: carly fiorina endorsing conservative. cruz's senior foreign policy advisor. how important for conservative women and conservatives in general and we are honored and thrilled to have her with our campaign. she is so clear-cut in her principles and or business acumen. and with her experience on the international stage, we are honored to have her support. deirdre: ted cruz said he can beat donald trump for the nomination. >> there is on one campaign that has beaten donald trump repeatedly and can and will beat donald trump in this nomination. >> ted cruz is interesting because he's always saying i'm the only one that can beat donald trump. but he never beats me. meaning he rarely beats me. the fact is that we are going to do well. deirdre: how can senator cruz gain back some of the votes and for their next commander-in-chief. ted cruz is the only viable alternative at this point. deirdre: we know you are his foreign policy adviser. i want to get your view on iran testing these missiles saying they could be capable of reaching israel. we have a quick sound bite.

i have been saying carli fiorina a lot so let's get to her. she understands why voters are supporting trump despite not backing the front-runner herself. >> i understand and respect the people who did vote for him. i know many of them. they're not racist or crazy or stupid. while many people call the donald a fraud, a con man, the truth is, the hard truth is there are a lot of voters out there who think they have been conned election after election. >> and not by donald trump. more likely -- well, the establishments of both parties from time to time, i guess would be fair. joining us now, the former chairman of the south carolina republican party, chairman of american defense international, van hipp. van, i want to compliment you to your face. i think van is one of the smartest people in the country with his analysis of politics and his look toward the trends and the issues that are most important to the country. so van, i just want to say thank you for being with us tonight. we're watching something of a surprise, i think, for a lot of people
