donald trump continues to lead with his hard line on immigration. we get more from hallie jackson.n. >>eporter: for donaldguage he might like. russian from vladimir putin and poetry from jimmy kimmel. >> there are two kinds of people which one will you be, a loser like them or a winner -- >> like me. >> trump could be headed for a storybook ending. the race's leader for months. now facing fresh competition with ted cruz solidly in second place. but he's playing defense today after attacks from marco rubio over what to do with the estimated 11 million people living here illegally. rubio wants to eventually make some cruz does not. and says he doesn't status. that's more politically palatable to conservative primary voters. now he's havin to explain why he said this, proposing an amendment back in

start to shrink. cracking down on isis money won't be he'sy. today's agreement is encouraging because it could form the basis for far greater cooperation between washington and russia, cooperation which experts say is the key to defeating isis. kate? >> richard engle, thanks so much. still ahead tonight, the fastest growing type of cancer, but there's an innovative prevention that puts the deep freeze on cells that whatcha doin? just prepping for my boss's party in a couple weeks. what are those? crest whitestrips. they whiten way better than paste. crest 3d white whitestrips whiten 25 times better than a leading whitening toothpaste. someone's making quite an impression. this holiday season, select crest whitestrips are buy one, get one free. start the interview with a firm handshake. ay,no! don't do that! try head & shoulders instant relief. it cools on contact, and also keeps you 100% flake free. try head & shoulders instant relief. for cooling relief in a snap. think your heartburn pill works fast? take the zantac it challenge!
