a doesn't night for carson. a horrible night as you pointed out to the governors, new hampshire is going to be important, but i really think it's going to be overshadowed by south carolina, nevada and supertuesday. >> all right, david as we await both hillary clinton and donald trump and it should be ted cruz in just a little while, maybe we can just give us your sense of what unfolded tonight in iowa. >> well, and as joe pointed out organization is crucial. it's going to be crucial if hillary clinton ekes out a win over bernie sanders. visited 99 counties, had a superior organization on the republican side, that makes a big difference. but it's interesting to hear congressman kingston talk about organization, there are other candidates who ignored iowa, exphaib he sets ujohn mccain, sg battle in south carolina. you win iowa maybe you're not competitive in new hampshire or get beaten by double digits but you set up your fire wall in the south carolina and the south, ted cruz is sending a signal to the southern s

carson's team claims the cruz campaign spread rumors that carson had dropped out of the race. it followed a report that carson would be taking a break and going to florida. cruz is now apologized to retired neurosurgeon. james astle in johnson iow, iowa, tonight. what headlines do you see coming out of iowa? >> this is not a normal election finish in america. about 60 of the vote on the republican side went to ted cruz, donald trump, and ben carson, and yet what we saw was normal politics reasserting itself after such a strange unconventional campaign. i think the ground game of ted cruz really did put donald trump and some of his inflated predictions for himself rather back in his box, and what was perhaps most striking of all for me was the late serge by marco rubio to some extent united the somewhat conservative main treatment republican vote and took some votes off of donald trump, it would seem. >> is this a surface wound or is it fatal? >> we can't say it's fatal. he moves on to new hampshire, where he has an enormously strong lead. that is likely to be cut back a little

ben carson please come out on the stage. rf bizarre opening with candidates seemingly wandering on to the stage. donald trump was back, but the front runner in new hampshire was not initially the main target of attacks that was marco rubio. a third place in iowa has given the florida senator momentum. the others tried to drag him down. >> that's what washington, d.c. does the drive by shot at the beginning with incorrect information then the 20-second memorized speech. when you are a governor of state to recommend rise a 20-second speech where you talk about how great america is, doesn't solve one problem. >> we're seeing the launch from a nuclear north korea is the direct result of the failures of the first clinton administration. the clinton lead the world in relaxing sanctions against north korea. billions of dollars flowed into north korea. and what we are seeing with north korea is foreshadowing of where we will be with iran. >> this attack brought boos in the audience. quiet.

we haven't even mentioned ben carson who has virtually faded into oblivion in terms of the latest polling. so we'll know some answers around 7:00 when the polls close, del. >> mike viqueira thank you very much. let's go to a senior reporter for the center for public integrity. dave thanks for being with us. no one thinks the polls will be accurate in new hampshire. do you feel the same way? >> new hampshire voters pride themselves on being a countervailing force to whatever happens in iowa. this happens every four years, and a very, very important factor here in new hampshire is the fact that dependent voters can walk up and say, i feel like voting democrat, or no, maybe i feel like voting republican. you can have all of these polls and see the numbers as they are today, but the ultimately results could be at least markedly different, be not for the top tier but the two, three, and four finishers on the republican side because of the unpredictability of the voters. >> dave, if there is going to be a surprise, who is showing signs of momentum? >> don't expect any surprises on the democrati

ben carson according to abc, they wanted the top finishers in iowa. so the top finishers in iowa, ben carson got 9.3% of the vote, it wasn't in the top three but good enough for abc. he is the top six in polling. if you look back to 2008 and 4, there were regularly eight people on the debate stage. so carly fiorina saying why do we have to limit it now, we have culled some of that after iowa, we should all be on the stage. she may have a point but she is not going to be on the stage at least of right now >>> one person that we haven't touched on is the guy who won in iowa here, ted cruz. what do we expect from him tonight? >> i expect him to lower expectations as his campaign has done. this is not the natural place for ted cruz to do well. it is not a very religious state. new hampshire prides itself, and i don't know how they measure this, as the least religious state in the country. it makes it difficult for ted cruz. however he did win iowa and heap didn't just eke it out as hillary clinton did against bernie sanders. ted cruz won and the reason th

ben carson is still in the race. the cruz campaign say they got their messages mixed and they didn't get the updated message out to the team. that won't fly with donald trump who will go after him as will ben carson. as for marco rubio he is seen as the establishment candidate. he will come under pressure from the others who want to pull him down. this is going to be pressure that marco rubio hasn't seen before. he has been very solid, his answers seemed to have been rehearsed. this time he has to give more to show that he is not the inexperienced candidates that the others are painting him as. jeb bush and chris christie will paint him like that. they have banked of doing well here. they say it begins here. if they don't do well on tuesday, this is also where it will end. there will be a real fight on stage. this is the 7th republican debate. we've said this is important because of this and this is because because of that, but we're actually in the election cycle. people are having their voices heard, they're castin

the others in the field, ben carson, john kasich up the rear, 7.7. ben carson is at 4.8%. a lot has been made about the so-called hunger games aspect of the south carolina race because one of these so-called establishment candidates is not going to be able to continue. the conventional wisdom has been wrong in the past, but given all the realities of modern campaigning particularly with regard to money, that some of these candidates are not going to last. lisa stark is at the ted cruz campaign and lisa you've been talking about the nature of the south carolina voting. you've been doing reporting over the last two days. it's a state where ignore anything will go. ted cruz has been accused of doctoring pictures, of marco rubio shaking hands with p.m. be that as it may. it has been a nasty back and forth, but sad to say it's somewhat typical of politics here in south carolina. >> absolutely. you know, this has been a war of words this week between donald trump particularly, marco rubio, also ted cruz, they've had a lot of name calling, as you say some of them accused of under

i think it helps john kasich, and bush >>> ben carson, is he fading? >> i would have to say he was fading. they asked questions and when it came to him or didn't come to him, carson said he wished he had been asked about north korea. he didn't provide an answer when he had the floor. he was trying to get his foreign policy bona fides up for the group but it didn't work for him. he is still in the race >>> a new poll shows that the democratic race is now virtually equal. 44% for hillary clinton and bernie sanders is 42. clinton used to have a 31 point lead. presidential candidate hillary clinton served as obama's first secretary of state. she got support this day. >> a lot of you younger women don't think you don't have to climb the ladier. it is not done. you have to help. hillary clinton will always be there for you, and just remember there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other >>> of course, clinton narrowly beat bernie sanders in the iowa caucus on monday. now to haiti where provisional government is set to take control tomor

i asked michael, he answered without me asking, did i miss john kasich and ben carson. are they not in this debate. they haven't had any air time at all >> no. they gave brief opening statements and that was it. so far marco rubio has been joined sort of arrested from attacks from donald trump, not tonight. right away with the credit cards, with the debt, with the immigration. >> all that stuff coming out in the past that didn't get traction. they're bringing out against each other. marco rubio and ted cruz talking about some immigration employment violations that donald trump caused him to pay a million dollar fine. it is just getting personal rye now >> exactly. that's what we expected. >> reporter: to the panel over there, one of the things that donald trump pointed out when he said about immigration, he has support and mentions joe that ted cruz does not have the support of a single republican senator. he said you work with every day and not one has decided to endorse you. that's the tenor of this debate >>> any surprises from you? did you think that they were going

ben carson got less than 10%, the rest of the g.o.p. pact were in the lower digits. some candidates were not in iowa. mike huckabee announced he is suspending his campaign. there's a close race on the democratic side, so close the democratic press may not be able to call it. hillary clinton is leading bernie sanders by less than a half of one percentage point. for marylands governor martin o'mallee suspended his campaign after receiving less than 1% of the vote in iowa. michael shure is in dooum in -- de-moyne, at ted cruz's headquarters. the cruz people must be happy. polls seem to show that he was dropping in the last few days of the campaign, instead he pulled out a solid victory. i'm schedule michael shure is not there with us. let's bring in david shuster, joe watkins and jeanie to look at this. the convention alt wisdom has been turned. you and i were looking at the counties, david, and it could get to the point where bernie sanders beats hillary clinton. >> the excitement and expectation is growing in bernie sanders camp. they have a large number. still the re

that will likely happen if bush and carson and john kasich get out of this race. i've heard this several times today, it is an important thing to know, that people are waiting for donald trump to make some sort of critical error that is so over the top, more of some of the things we've seen already, that, in fact, he is destroyed, that marco rubio will move into a place where he can fight ted cruz for the next few months and take over that general election position, that poll position where he will go against a democratic candidate. >> waiting for him to make a misstep. how many has he made? how many taboos has he broken and yet here he is winning the south carolina primary. going to randal who is at the donald trump headquarters in south carolina literally waiting for donald trump, a triumphant donald trump to come out and address supporters. >> talking about those missteps that he has made, he made one less than 24 hours ago when he was referring to a myth, actually, about general john blackjack perjing and whether or not he killed some muslim pows back in world

that iowa is not representtive of the rest of the country, if you add up the votes of cruz, rubio, and carson, two cuban americans and a black guy won a majority of republican votes in iowa tonight. bruce you are nodding. are we missing a story here? >> no, i think it's a terrific story. it's not always just positions on issues, but it's a lot like barack obama, what aspiration do i see for myself in the campaign of another. look at marco rubio he is a great campaigner. he has the best set of candidate skills in the republican field. having those kinds of candidates in our field i think is a real strength as we move forward, particularly against these older whiter candidates like bernie sanders, and hillary clinton. >> rick, i'm sorry, i cut you off. >> yeah, ron brownsteen has been doing very impressive empirical working looking at what the coalition is. iowa does look like the republican party. the republican electorate is older. it is whiter. occupationally it resembles the occupations of the '80s. they are like americas 25 years ago. and when you have a candidate like donald trump beginni

--which wasn't true, of course, that--that carson was getting out of the race. donald trump was right to call him out. of course, he didn't make for a sympathetic character because people don't feel sorry for donald trump as such. >> but he shows authenticity. that's where donald trump tends to win. if you were running a race and you said john seigenthaler was getting out and give your vote to somebody else, you would be infuriated. he shows what voters perceive as genuine anger. there is authenticity with donald trump on the right and bernie sanders on the left. that's what is trumping right now. >> and the numbers are still coming in. we're far from complete with all the totals but right now 34%. the poll going in into today is 31%. that's one of the numbers they want. can i match that vote. if that does hold. >> 12% of the precincts have voted in the republican party. those numbers are so steady but anything could happen. director of women politics institute at american university. she's in washington, d.c. what does this mean for hillary clinton tonight? >>
