In an emotional one-hour sit down from Las Vegas, Paul says he feels life does begin at conception, but thinks basing his entire abortion position on a hypothetical situation can be difficult:  "A person immediately after rape?  Yes, it's a tough one.  And I won't satisfy everybody there."

"I think it was a big issue because of politics, because of the opposition, the demagoguing, the media jumping on this," said Paul.  "Actually, I think I ended up probably defending him more than he defended himself."

The GOP candidate went on to say that he doesn't believe Romney really doesn't care about poor people, but actually, it's his views on finance that are the true issue: "I think the problem is he's a victim of his own economic theories, rather than him being cold and heartless."

Tune in to "Piers Morgan Tonight" at 9pm ET/PT as the Republican race's oldest candidate talks about social media, his exercise regime, his stance on abortion and much more.

"You may argue that Donald Trump's 15 minutes are up in terms of politics.  You may even argue this is nothing more than one billionaire endorsing another near billionaire."

One thing you can't argue, however, is that Trump is someone who epitomizes the spirit, and the opportunities, that come from living in the United States:

"A man – love him or hate him – who's as American as a cheeseburger and large fries.  Donald Trump."

In the words of Morgan, Only in America:  "When Donald Trump talks, people tend to listen.  I was endorsed by him on 'Celebrity Apprentice.'  And look where it got me today."

As the live hour continued, Morgan welcomed Jerry Springer for a face-to-face chat.  Known nationwide for his tabloid talk program "The Jerry Springer Show," the television host is also a former mayor with strong political opinions, particularly on Mitt Romney:  "Why is he running for president?  In other words, he could be a wonderful person, bright, and all that.  Lovely family man, smart, and all that," said Springer.  "But I don't sense any passion. When he says 'I'm running for the soul of America,' what soul!"
