Brooks on Super Tuesday: ‘Really Bad Day for Trump,’ ‘Really Good Day for Cruz’

Congressman brooks, thank you for joining us. How do you react as a guy pushing for Ted Cruz for this Romney intervention?
>> I really haven’t paid much attention, so it’s not a concern of mine.
>> Well, what’s that mean? He was a nominee of your party and you don’t think his voice matter?
>> His voice matters. It’s premature. He has the right as an American citizen to say whatever he wants to say. Some will be influenced, some won’t. Principally this is a campaign between the trump team and the anti-trump team. That’s what I’m more focused on. There are plenty of players surrounding —
>> I understand.
>> The two teams that will have an impact, but I’m interested what the candidates will say and what they’re going to do for America.
>> How do you match trump’s force? Can Cruz unite.
>> Donald Trump is already behind. Going into yesterday, his team was ahead. They had more delegates than did the anti-trump team. Now, Donald Trump is behind. With what happened yesterday, he fell behind the combination of Kasich, Rubio and Cruz. What I call the anti-trump team, and with Ben Carson looking like he is going to drop out, that enhances the viability of those three anti-trump candidates. And going forward, if you really analyze the election results yesterday, it was a really bad day for Donald Trump. It was a really good day for Ted Cruz.
>> Okay.
>> And Marco Rubio got what he needed to be able to claim some degree. The analysis is I look at is this. Two types of primaries and caucuses. Closed is where Republicans choose the nominees. Donald Trump has lost 80% of the states where Republicans are choosing the nominee. Coming up, we have 20 plus states that are closed primaries. Only Republicans are allowed to vote.
>> Yeah.
>> In Donald Trump continues losing 80% of those states, that’s over 1,000 delegates in those 20 states. He will be in a world of hurt. We’re going to see how he goes forward from his severe losses in the states that only allow Republicans to participate.
>> Okay, let me —
>> In the selection of the Republican nominee.
>> Let me ask you a matter of principle? Would you deny the person with the most delegates going into the convention the nomination?
>> Well, to me, the one with the most delegates is the anti-trump.
>> I’ve never heard of such a thing, this coalition.
>> Sure you have, 2008, Mike Huckabee and John McCain, senator McCain, they coalesced on a strategy that help one win New Hampshire and the other win Iowa. It has happened before. It has happened many times throughout American history. I think normally you would not see a team, but when you’ve got Donald Trump, one candidate, that is so belittling, so inn —
