THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

WOLF BLITZER, CNN HOST: Hello, I'm Wolf Blitzer. It's 11:00 a.m. in Juarez, Mexico, 1:00 p.m. in Washington, 8:00 p.m. in Damascus. Wherever you're watching from around the world, thanks very much for joining us.

We begin with the worsening attacks out there on the campaign trail as the Republican candidates trade insults in South Carolina. The primary there is just four days away which has led this narrative between the contenders. And in one famous case, a very famous brother.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

GEORGE W. BUSH, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: But we do not need someone in the Oval Office who mirrors and inflames our anger and frustration.

DONALD TRUMP (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: We made a -- we made a tremendous mistake. We went into Iraq. It shouldn't have happened. Everything you see right now is an offshoot of that decision. That was a very bad decision.

JEB BUSH (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: We cannot allow politicians to divide us up in our disparate parts anymore. We need a president with a steady hand.

TRUMP: I have never, ever met a person that lies more than Ted Cruz.

MARCO RUBIO (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: (INAUDIBLE) saying things that aren't true. Something that isn't true (INAUDIBLE) there's no other word for it but lie.

13:01:25? TED CRUZ (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Truth matters. And we are not in grade school where you just get to say liar, liar, pants on fire and not respond to the subjects.

TRUMP: Do you think this is fun? Do you think this is fun?

(END VIDEOTAPE) BLITZER: Donald Trump is seemingly at the center of each of those attacks, whether as the aggressor or the target. But that has been the following Trump -- that has been -- that line has been following Trump from Iowa to New Hampshire and now to South Carolina and beyond.

Our Jim Acosta is out there on the campaign trail. He's covering Donald Trump in North Augusta, South Carolina right now. Jim, he's called Ted Cruz unstable and, quote, "nuts." Does he see Ted Cruz right now as his main challenger in South Carolina?

JIM ACOSTA, CNN POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: I think that's the case right now, Wolf. But I think Donald Trump is worried about a number of candidates right now, and mainly because while he's way out in front, in terms of the latest polling, it is a bit of a muddle, in terms of where second place is right now.

And I think we're going to see that in the next day or two, in terms of how things are shaking out as we're getting closer to the primary on Saturday, Wolf. Yes, Donald Trump is certainly going after Ted Cruz. He was on "Good Morning America" on ABC earlier this morning. Again, calling the Texas senator a liar, saying that he and his lawyers are very seriously considering a lawsuit against Ted Cruz, based on the Texas senator's attacks.

But, Wolf, keep in mind, you know, this is a multi-front battle. Donald Trump earlier this morning, the latest video out there of Donald Trump this morning, is of him at Tommy's Country Ham House. You know that place well. It's a fixture in South Carolina politics. I remember last time around when Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich were bumping into each other in Tommy's Country Ham House in Greenville four years ago.

Trump went there this morning. Had eggs over medium along with some sausage and hash browns and told reporters there, at one point, that Bush does not get this kind of response here. You're talking about the crowd at Tommy's Country Ham House. And why that's interesting, I think, is because George W. Bush was talking about Tommy's Country Ham House last night during his remarks, when he was sticking up for his younger brother and presidential candidate, Jeb Bush.

And so, you know, the fists are flying. They're flying in all directions, Wolf. Last night, Donald Trump even went after Marco Rubio. Keep in mind, Marco Rubio may be showing up pretty well in the polls here. He may be bouncing back from that disastrous debate performance at his showing in New Hampshire. Donald Trump, last night, going after Marco Rubio, saying he was sweating so much in last Saturday's debate that it looked like he was getting out of a swimming pool.

So, Donald Trump is aiming at just about everybody right now, including the Republican National Committee who he's accusing of stacking that debate audience on Saturday night -- Wolf.

BLITZER: Jim Acosta. We're waiting for Donald Trump to show up over there. Thanks very, very much. Earlier this morning, Donald Trump said he's, quote, "very seriously thinking about suing Senator Ted Cruz over his presidential qualifications." Cruz was born in Canada but is a U.S. citizen. The Texas senator maintains there are no constitutional barriers preventing him from running. Trump's threat to potentially sue comes into the flurry of attacks between both presidential contenders.

Here to go over each of the -- what each side is claiming, our Correspondent Tom Foreman. He's been doing a little checking for us. So, we -- they're accusing each other basically of lying.

TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, they're accusing each other of everything right now. And it's not just Trump and Cruz, Rubio as -- was just mentioned a minute ago by Jim there, is also in the mix. And they're ripping into each other over one thing after another. Just listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: I have never, ever met a person that lies more than Ted Cruz. I have never, ever seen anything like it.

[13:05:03] RUBIO: (INAUDIBLE) saying that aren't true. Something that isn't true (INAUDIBLE) there's no other word for it but lie.

CRUZ: Donald Trump and Marco Rubio both have the very same pattern. Whenever anyone points out their record, they simply start screaming liar, liar, liar. It's a very odd dynamic.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BLITZER: Let's go over a few of the specifics here. Trump is accusing Cruz, among other things, of misrepresenting his political position, because Cruz is saying Trump is a liberal hiding in conservative clothing. And while it's true that Trump has been a Democrat in the past and has donated to Democrats, Trump has also backed Republicans and many of his positions right now are strongly conservative.

What about Rubio? Well, he says Cruz is misrepresenting Cruz's position on, among other things, funding for Planned Parenthood. It is true that Cruz has accused Rubio of being weak on efforts to go after abortion providers, but it is equally true that Rubio has gone after them pretty hard. And there really isn't a lot of difference between Rubio's stance on that issue and Cruz's.

And why is Cruz accusing the other two of making false accusations against him? Because, presumably, he really does feel there is a difference between his position and theirs. And, in some cases, they're complaints about him are false. For example, I'd start off there with Trump talking about his Canadian citizenship, the idea that he couldn't run there. Well, he doesn't -- he's not a Canadian citizen. He's not been one. He was born there. But we've been over that over and over again. It's not really an issue.

The bottom line is that all of these candidates, at various times in the campaign, have misrepresented some facts here and there. And now, they're all attacking all of those things and saying, you're a liar, you're a liar, you're a liar. It's so different than a month ago when they were all trying to say, no, no, no, let's all get along because we're all Republicans together.

BLITZER: But as you point out, Cruz was born in Canada. He was four years old when his parents brought him to the United States. His mother was a U.S. citizen and father an immigrant from Cuba. But he did have Canadian citizenship automatically since he was born there.

FOREMAN: Right.

BLITZER: And formerly renounced it only about a year and a half or so ago.

FOREMAN: That is correct. It doesn't disqualify him from being a candidate right now as has been pointed out by Mr. Trump. And yet, these things keep surfacing over and over again. It doesn't matter how many times people check them and whether or not they determine them to be true or not. The campaigns know they have traction so they keep throwing them out there.

BLITZER: But Trump makes the argument, the legal argument, that he's backed by Lawrence Tribe of Harvard Law School, that there's a question what a natural born citizen really means. And that's why he's --

FOREMAN: Right.

BLITZER: -- threatening to go to court now to sue --

FOREMAN: Right.

BLITZER: -- Cruz saying he's not really eligible. There's a debate amongst some legal scholars --

FOREMAN: Right.

BLITZER: -- on whether or not Cruz is eligible.

FOREMAN: And that's the problem with so much of this. There is often some kind of gray area, and they're all picking at that gray area, for example between Trump and Rubio, on the issue of abortion providers. They haven't had exactly the same stances all the time. But certainly if you go to anybody who's to the left of the political spectrum, they're going to say they're both fierce opponents of abortion rights. That doesn't mean there's not differences between them.

BLITZER: All right.

FOREMAN: All right.

BLITZER: Tom Foreman, thanks very much.

Donald Trump has certainly been the loudest voice saying he never heard anyone lie as much as Senator Ted Cruz. And earlier this morning, we heard this from the Senator Rubio.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

RUBIO: So I think this is very disturbing when you have a candidate that now, on a regular basis, just makes things up. And especially in this era where everything is out there and everything is seen and instantly reacted to, you can't get away with that stuff.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BLITZER: All right, joining us now from Houston, Texas is Rick Tyler. He's the national spokesman for the Cruz campaign. Rick, thanks very much for joining us. Very quickly on this threat now --

RICK TYLER, NATIONAL SPOKESMAN, CRUZ FOR PRESIDENT: Good day.

BLITZER: -- that Donald Trump says he's very close to actually going to court, filing a lawsuit, questioning whether Senator Cruz is even eligible to run for president. What's your reaction to this threat?

TYLER: Well, he is eligible and I think all of his colleagues agree on that. There's only two ways to become a citizen of the United States. You're either natural born or you're naturalized. And since he wasn't naturalized and he has an American passport, then his own government recognizes him as a natural born citizen. So, he can file a lawsuit. He'll just -- you know, he'll just look foolish.

BLITZER: Are you preparing for that lawsuit? In other words, has the campaign hired lawyers to defend his assertion that he is technically, legally eligible under the constitution to run for president?

TYLER: We're prepared for anything. We have in-house council. So, you know, of course we are but we don't think it'll have any standing.

BLITZER: You don't think he does have standing?

TYLER: No.

BLITZER: Because Trump says, as a challenger, he technically would have standing in court. He says you could -- you could go to court yourself and get a ruling from a judge that he's eligible. You haven't done that, right?

TYLER: No, that's not the way the law works. I could go -- I could try to get a judge to have a ruling in case you hit my car that I would get compensated from you. But, of course, that would tie up the courts forever, so courts don't listen to cases like that. We don't rule on future aggrieved parties. That's just not how the system works. So, no, he wouldn't -- he wouldn't have a standing.

BLITZER: And what's your reaction to Trump basically saying, he's never seen anyone, whether in politics or in business or anyone, lie as much as Senator Cruz?

[13:10:05] TYLER: Well, he should look in the mirror, because Donald Trump -- everything we said about Donald Trump we can back up, usually with video. Because he's said all of the things that he now says he doesn't say. And, in fact, Wolf, on the debate stage when he called Senator Cruz a liar for the first time to his face, Senator Cruz has said that he had supported Planned Parenthood. And then, he said, no, you're a liar.

And then, he went on in the same debate to say that Planned Parenthood does wonderful things. Now, if the position is pro-choice or not is pro-life people don't go around saying wonderful things about Planned Parenthood. Pro-life people don't support Planned Parenthood, because Planned Parenthood is an abortion provider. And we know from earlier this year that they not only take unborn human life, they sell them for body parts. I mean, how can you possibly be pro-life and believe that Planned Parenthood does anything wonderful?

BLITZER: He says he opposes Planned Parenthood if Planned Parenthood's involvement in abortion. But he supports what Planned Parenthood does for poor women to test them for cervical cancer or breast cancer, other women's health issues. That's what he says --

TYLER: And they're --

BLITZER: -- that's what he says when he means when Planned Parenthood has done some wonderful things.

TYLER: Well, if he really means it, he should support all those people who provide those services for free who don't do abortions. That's a little like saying, I own a hotel but -- and all the money -- you know, but I don't -- that has gambling but I don't support the gambling. I support, you know, the food they sell. The money is fungible. It goes to abortion providers. And, you know, he's a businessman. He understands that. He wants to have it all three ways.

So, we haven't lied about anything that Donald Trump says. Donald Trump just doesn't like that we say what he has already said. But, look, I can almost forgive him because Donald Trump has no ideological core. He doesn't know what he believes. He doesn't know what he believes from one day to the next. And so, therefore, he has a hard time defending it. So, what else is he going to do except become very angry and call people liars? And I think the anger part, of course at that press conference yesterday, where he comes across as seethingly angry. I mean, that's a little upsetting for people to think that he's going to be -- act this way as president. I think it's remarkable.

BLITZER: I -- How's Senator Cruz going to do Saturday in South Carolina?

TYLER: Look, we're trying -- we're working really hard. We're averaging about 10,000 doors a day and we're doing about 20,000 phone calls a day. We have over 10,000 people out volunteering for the campaign and working there. We also have a Camp Cruz which is a dormitory-style place where our volunteers from out of state can live and it holds about 80 beds. So, we're excited. We've got a great ground game. That's how we won Iowa, even though the Des Moines register said that we were going to lose Iowa. We won it because of ground game.

We did well in New Hampshire for the very same reason. And I think we'll do very well in South Carolina. I don't think we have to win it. We said -- we said we have to win an early state or get second or third and two out of three. We've already won in an early state. We got third in New Hampshire. So, I'm positive we'll do fine in South Carolina. And then, we'll go on to March one where the people who don't have money and don't have an organization will be exposed. And I think we'll do great in those states.

BLITZER: You got Nevada in between South Carolina --

TYLER: That's right.

BLITZER: -- and Super Tuesday. How are you going to do in Nevada?

TYLER: I think we'll do very well. It's a caucus state, so we're organizing there. It's a very conservative state. It's not evangelical state. It's a Mormon state. But it's very conservative voters and conservatives like Ted Cruz.

BLITZER: Rick Tyler from the Cruz campaign. Thanks, Rick, very much.

TYLER: Appreciate it. Good being here.

BLITZER: Thank you.

Donald Trump isn't one to back down, especially when he's facing a challenge in the polls. I want to bring in Scottie Nell-Hughes. She's the chief political correspondent for USA Radio Network. She's also a Donald Trump supporter. I want to get your reaction. First of all, they're not worried about any lawsuit that Donald Trump may file, challenging Senator Cruz's eligibility to run for president. Your reaction?

SCOTTIE NELL HUGHES: Well, at least they're not worried publicly. I know they have to be worried or else they would have gotten, originally, and gone and got the judgment as suggested through a court that Ted Cruz could run. As well as we have to ask, why is there not a resolution passed on the defendant floor by any of the standing Congress saying that Ted Cruz is eligible to run, just like they did with John McCain? So, I guarantee they are a little bit worried about.

But what I found interesting about Rick Tyler's interview there is that he forgot to mention that Donald Trump did not put us $19 trillion in debt. Donald Trump did not sit there and write a letter that was basically endorsing a judge that has twice missed the opportunity to strike down Obamacare. Donald Trump did not flip-flop on the TPA and say that he was tricked by McConnell, therefore that's why he voted for it.

Donald Trump did not say that -- did not answer the question in last week's debate about the 800,000 illegal children listed is and if he would use it whether or not to deport them. You know, I -- Senator Cruz has done a lot of great things, but you cannot run away from your record. And if you want to the talk about flip-flopping, Wolf, there is somebody right now that is in office that conservatives have put their faith and trust to who has flip-flopped on a lot of issues, just has never had anybody call him out until Donald Trump has come onto the scene.

[13:15:00] BLITZER: What about what he said, Rick Tyler, about Donald Trump's support for some aspects of what partial - of what Planned Parenthood does?

SCOTTIE NEIL HUGHES, TRUMP SUPPORTER: Well, listen, that is such a liberal talking point to say that women's health issues is only about abortion. Planned Parenthood does do other things. And I agree with Rick in the fact that, you know what, we need to completely defund it. That's exactly what Donald Trump said back in August, that if they were doing abortions or if they were selling body parts, then we should completely disband it and make sure that no tax dollars are going to supporting it. So that, once again, they have selectively taken clips from what Mr. Trump has said and spun them to put into their own commercials.

And, Wolf, it's not just with Mr. Trump. It would be different if Mr. Trump was the only one that was saying the Ted Cruz - or the Ted Cruz campaign is lying. You have Marco Rubio, you have Governor Jindal came out today, you have TV stations in South Carolina pulling Senator Cruz campaign ads that go against Marco Rubio for legal issues. So it's not just one little spark. There's lots of fires popping up that are showing that the people that are really on fire in not a good way is the Cruz campaign.

BLITZER: That - that ad that was pulled from South Carolina television was from a super PAC that supports Ted Cruz, not directly from the Cruz campaign, just to be precise on the legal aspects of this.

The whole business of raising 9/11 now, raising the Iraq war, the - Donald Trump is really going after Jeb Bush on those issues. Is that wise politically?

HUGHES: Well, I don't - it's one of those questions, though, that I think a lot of people have out there. You know, I'm one of those that believe that it's not only - I put a little bit of blame on Bush because post-9/11 did - did our president do anything to seal the southern border? Did he do anything to lock down our national security? Sure, you can sit there and say that he kept us safe for the rest of his term. Well, you use that same justification that it means that we're safe now under Barack Obama. And I guarantee most Americans don't feel like we're any safer today than we were.

But I also put a lot of blame on the Clintons as well. I think that, you know, we know that the plans of 9/11 happened for years in planning that took them to get to that stage. We do know that there were briefings that said that there was going to be airplanes that were put into buildings that were classified, that were probably read hopefully by national security officials underneath both administrations. And yet neither were responsible enough to do what it took to make sure that everybody was on lockdown. I mean we're talking Governor Bush himself, when he was in Florida,

had - there were - the I.D.s that were issued to some of those terrorists were issued underneath Governor Bush while he was governor. So you know that there were some loopholes going on, and I believe it was both the Bush's and the Clinton's legacies that should hold fault for 9/11.

BLITZER: Scottie Hughes, thanks very much.

HUGHES: Thank you.

BLITZER: And for the first time in this campaign, all six, yes, all six Republican presidential candidates will answer questions from the voters of South Carolina in two town halls only on CNN. They'll be live Wednesday and Thursday night, 8:00 p.m. Eastern, moderated by Anderson Cooper. Ben Carson, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, they kick it off Wednesday night. John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Donald Trump will field questions Thursday night. That's live beginning at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday nights right here only on CNN.

Up next, former President George W. Bush made big headlines when he returned to the campaign trail last night, but is it enough to get his little brother, Jeb Bush, a boost?

And the funeral has now been set for the Supreme Court justice, Antonin Scalia, but there are still questions over when President Obama will name his potential successor.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[13:22:21] BLITZER: Jeb Bush is hoping family ties and a more forceful approach will give his campaign a much needed boost in South Carolina. Bush held a town hall meeting in Columbia this morning after campaigning with his big brother, the former president, George W. Bush, last night. The family name could be an asset in South Carolina. Both Bush 43 and Bush 41, they won primaries there.

Our correspondent, Athena Jones, is covering the bush campaign. She's joining us now from Columbia, South Carolina.

Athena, give us a little update now on the Bush events scheduled for today. This overall strategy as it's unfolding in South Carolina.

ATHENA JONES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Wolf.

Well, Governor Bush just finished up his event here. He has a couple more today. And a part of the Bush campaign strategy here in South Carolina certainly seems to be to rely a lot on the bush family name. This is someone who began his campaign without - by saying that he's going to be his own man. Well, he's bringing out his family again. We saw George W. Bush on the - take the stage last night. While Barbara Bush, Jeb Bush's mother, will be joining him once again on the campaign trail here in South Carolina. We're told she arrives on Thursday and she'll stay through the primary. Governor Bush just made that announcement to us in a gaggle with reporters after his event. So they're clearly doubling down now on the Bush family name. We first

saw, of course, Barbara Bush on the stump with him in New Hampshire. So, Bush is really playing on his name because it's a state that has been so kind to his family in the past, hoping that it will do so again. I asked him, can he - can he beat, for instance, Marco Rubio and John Kasich, who he seems to be closest to in the polls, and he said, I hope so.

Wolf.

BLITZER: You know, there's a lot of positive reviews for former President Bush's appearance with Jeb Bush out there last night. We'll see if that is too little too late or how it unfolds Saturday in South Carolina.

Athena, thanks very much.

Donald Trump calls Ted Cruz unstable, Cruz says Trump has lost it and almost all of the candidates are calling one another liar or dishonest or even worse. Our political commentator Ryan Lizza is here to talk about this. He's a Washington correspondent for "The New Yorker" magazine.

Why is this campaign, all of a sudden - it was bad, but now it's really getting ugly. Why has it turn odd ugly?

RYAN LIZZA, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Well, a couple of reasons. I think, one, there's an assumption that in Iowa and New Hampshire, a little bit more - voters are a little more gentle in those states. South Carolina is used to a little bit more rough and tumble. But then the second thing is, those states usually winnow the field a little bit more. It didn't happen. There's not - we're not down to a two or three person race the way previous open Republican fields have been at this point. And there's basically a death match to be the alternative to Donald Trump. Look at all the polling, and there's not much in South Carolina. He has a third or more of the vote, and then two- thirds of the vote is divided up among the non-Trump candidates. And so, if you're a non-Trump candidate, you've got to decide, all right, do I go after my closest competitor, whether he's in the establishment lane or in the very conservative lane like Ted Cruz, or do I go after Trump himself? And so you just have the circling - circular firing squad -

[13:25:17] BLITZER: Yes.

LIZZA: Of all the candidates trying to consolidate the race into a two or three-person match.

BLITZER: That - that - originally that race was almost 18 or 20 Republicans. It's now down to the final six. So we'll see what happens -

LIZZA: But not enough to get the clarity.

BLITZER: Yes, we'll see who emerges -

LIZZA: Yes.

BLITZER: From South Carolina.

Who has the most to lose, though, because this is an all-out war that has now developed?

LIZZA: Look, I think - Bush is in decent shape because he's got money and he's got a well-funded super PAC and he surprised people in New Hampshire. So a lot of people were writing him off saying in the fall he should have dropped out of the race. So he's showing some surprise - surprising saying power. If he sneaks into second or third place in South Carolina, he'll have an argument to go on. I think Rubio, since New Hampshire, has been the candidate that is on - that you have to watch. And if - he obviously didn't perform where he thought he was going to perform in New Hampshire. And if he doesn't perform well in South Carolina, you're going to see a lot of fundraisers and other establishment types who thought he was going to be the main alternative to Trump asking some hard questions of his campaign.

But, frankly, I don't think - I don't think any of these guys get out of the race because they can all say, you know, Bush and Rubio can say no matter where they place, well, we're going to wait at least till Florida votes on March 1st and stay in until then. Kasich's going to say, I'm going to wait at least until Ohio votes and I'm going to stay in until then. And I think most of these guys stay in until March 1st, if not March 15th when you have -

BLITZER: March 1st is the Super Tuesday, where there's about a dozen contests, that race, and that will certainly winnow out.

So you - you don't think that -

LIZZA: It could but -

BLITZER: You said that the individual -

LIZZA: Yes.

BLITZER: The candidate who finishes fifth or sixth in South Carolina will still stay in the race?

LIZZA: Well, let's go through them. Trump stays in no matter what. He's polling up -

BLITZER: Cruz stays in. Yes.

LIZZA: Cruz stays in no matter - no matter what, although Cruz has -

BLITZER: But Dr. Ben Carson, do you think he stays in even -

LIZZA: I Think -

BLITZER: Even if he comes in sixth in South Carolina?

LIZZA: He's sort of a nuisance candidate at this point. He doesn't need much money and - but - and he's proven the ability to fundraise. And so he might - he might stay in no matter what. And then the three so-called establishment candidates, I - why not, why shouldn't they wait till the - till the - until they're big home state votes?

BLITZER: Right.

LIZZA: So, I - so far, if you look at the polling and how this is playing out, it looks like it's not going to be that much different than New Hampshire. The sort of muddle continues on into March.

BLITZER: They've got Nevada, then they've got Super Tuesday, then they've got mid-March, they've got a whole bunch of Midwestern states as well.

LIZZA: Yes.

BLITZER: And that - that could be fascinating.

LIZZA: That's right.

BLITZER: All right, Ryan, thanks very, very much. It continues.

By the way, next week, you'll see all of the Republican presidential candidates live in Houston, Texas, for the CNN Republican presidential debate. I'll be moderating that debate. That's next Thursday, February 25th, it all starts at 8:30 p.m. Eastern, only here on CNN.

When will President Obama move to nominate a replacement of the U.S. Supreme Court? We could have a better idea just a little bit later from now. Later this afternoon, he's going to have a news conference. I'll explain. Stay with us.
