TODAY WAS SUPER TUESDAY, THE DAY DURING AN ELECTION YEAR ON WHICH
SEVERAL STATES HOLD PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
AND DEPENDING ON THE RESULTS OF SUPER TUESDAY, TOMORROW COULD BE
PANIC WEDNESDAY BECAUSE, LET'S BE HONEST, THIS SUPER TUESDAY
COULD BE THE DAY THAT TRUMP RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT BECOMES
OFFICIALLY NOT FUNNY ANYMORE.
(LAUGHTER) WHY DO AMERICANS CALL THIS DAY
"SUPER TUESDAY?" DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THE WORD
"SUPER" MEANS?
CALLING THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS "SUPER" IS LIKE CALLING BROCCOLI
A "GUILTY PLEASURE."
(LAUGHTER) TRUMP'S CHANCES OF GETTING THE
NOMINATION ARE LOOKING VERY GOOD.
HE'S EARNED SO MANY ENDORSEMENTS.
MOST RECENTLY, AT A RALLY IN GEORGIA YESTERDAY, TRUMP WAS
ENDORSED BY THE C.E.O. OF NASCAR AND SEVERAL PROMINENT NASCAR
DRIVERS.
WITH THE NASCAR ENDORSEMENT, DONALD TRUMP HAS LOCKED UP THE
COVETED "GUY YOU WISH YOUR SISTER WOULD BREAK UP WITH"
VOTE.
(LAUGHTER) PEOPLE WERE REALLY APPLAUDING
WHEN THESE NASCAR DRIVERS JOINED THE STAGE AT THE TRUMP RALLY.
AND THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.
DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO APPLAUD WHEN THREE OF YOUR
FINGERS WERE BLOWN OFF BY A FIRECRACKER?
(LAUGHTER) IT'S NOT NICE!
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) BUT THE C.E.O. OF NASCAR, BRIAN
FRANCE, SPOKE SAYING THAT "TRUMP IS A FAMILY MAN."
AND IT'S TRUE.
JUST ASK ANY OF TRUMP'S THREE WIVES.
(LAUGHTER) THAT'S HOW MUCH HE LOVES
FAMILIES.
HE MADE THREE OF THEM!
TO BE HONEST, I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS EVEN NEWS.
DONALD TRUMP BEING ENDORSED BY NASCAR IS LIKE BERNIE SANDERS
BEING ENDORSED BY A VEGAN COFFEE SHOP.
(LAUGHTER) BUT THE BIG NEWS ABOUT TRUMP THE
LAST COUPLE OF DAYS HAS BEEN OUTRAGE AFTER TRUMP'S INITIAL
REFUSAL TO DISAVOW THE KU KLUX KLAN AFTER THEY ENDORSED HIM.
NOW, IN HIS DEFENSE, TRUMP DID EVENTUALLY SAY HE WAS AGAINST
THE K.K.K., AND HE DID THAT AFTER TAKING ONLY 48 HOURS TO
THINK ABOUT IT.
(LAUGHTER) HE JUST NEEDED TO SLEEP ON IT.
TWICE.
TRUMP HAS GOTTEN OUT IN FRONT OF THESE RACISM ALLEGATIONS.
IN FACT, JUST THIS MORNING, HE RENOUNCED SUPPORT OF ALL WHITE
SUPREMACISTS AND THEN DECLARED, "THERE'S NOBODY THAT'S DONE SO
MUCH FOR EQUALITY AS I HAVE," POINTING TO HIS MAR-A-LAGO CLUB
IN PALM BEACH, FLORIDA AS AN EXAMPLE.
TRUMP'S MAR-A-LAGO RESORT IS OPEN TO PEOPLE OF ANY RACE,
COLOR, OR CREED...WHO CAN AFFORD THE NON-REFUNDABLE $100,000
APPLICATION FEE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
TRUMP'S BEST ARGUMENT FOR BEING PRO-EQUALITY IS THAT HE BUILT A
COUNTRY CLUB THAT DOESN'T BAN MINORITIES.
NOTHING REPRESENTS THE MELTING POT OF AMERICA LIKE A GOLF CLUB
IN FLORIDA.
THE SITUATION WITH DONALD TRUMP HAS GOTTEN SO CRAZY THAT TED
CRUZ HAS BECOME THE VOICE OF REASON.
CRUZ RECENTLY WENT ON A CONSERVATIVE RADIO SHOW WHERE HE
OFFERED TRUMP A LITTLE ADVICE.
>> YOU KNOW, I'VE JOKED THERE ARE NOT MANY IRON RULES IN
POLITICS, BUT ONE THAT YOU CAN COUNT ON 100% OF THE TIME IS THE
KLAN ALWAYS BAD, NAZIS ALWAYS BAD.
YOU WILL NEVER GO WRONG WITH THAT RULE.
EITHER THE KLAN OR NAZIS, BAD, BAD, BAD...
(APPLAUSE) >> James: TED CRUZ HAS THE
MORAL HIGH GROUND HERE.
TED CRUZ WAS ENDORSED BY THE GUY FROM DUCK DYNASTY.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DUCK DYNASTY GUY AND THE K.K.K. IS
THAT ONE OF THEM HAS A TV SHOW.
BUT AFTER HIS LOSSES ON SUPER TUESDAY, TED CRUZ IS HAVING A
TOUGH NIGHT.
TED, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR CHANCES OF BECOMING PRESIDENT
NOW?
>> BAD, BAD, BAD...
