as you go into these counties, clinton getting 20% here, clinton getting 20% here, clinton getting 17% here. obama had a clear victory in the swath where you have the highest american percentage. i could only find one county, lexington county where bernie sanders was getting 40. most of the places when you go through these counties, it's a thrashing. he's in 19, 20, maybe cracking 30. it's an overwhelming victory. it's not just a victory. the reason it's so important, number one, hillary clinton now has something in common with donald trump. she's won three of the first four. a different map. cruz won iowa. trump won the other three. she's won three of the first four. this is the momentum phase of the campaign. a lot of super tuesday plays out down here in states like south carolina where you're going to have and electorate like tonight. the scope of this victory tonight, you saw a very happy candidate there delivering that speech. it sends a message to bernie sanders. it sends a message to any democrats that were nervous about her candidacy. >> similarly in some of the other southern

yes, by hillary clinton. i mean the clinton campaign a month ago would have told us that nevada was not competitive state for bernie sanders. they spent the last week saying well this is a competitive state. there are lots of white people there and young people there. so they have changed the baseline. i agree with michael, if she doesn't come -- if she doesn't win by at least 5 points if it's this close when it's over i think she loses her argument against bernie which is that he is unelectable. >> you don't cover the spread in politics you win or you lose. okay. if she wins this in the state, first thing i said when we started this i said what van was saying talking about the pain. this is the state with the fourth highest unemployment in america. the second highest home foreclosures in america. 30% increase in home foreclosures in the last month. enormous pain. she hangs on and wins a 4-point lead that's a big deal. and i'm sorry if people don't think she covered the spread but there ain't no spread in pol

and to hillary clinton. you've got jim cliburn down there, the other day saying he's all for the clintons. whatever problems they had between them eight years ago, they're gone. bill clinton is popular in the south. i think among african-americans, that's my hunch. this looks like a good thing for them. then they go into this incredible run of states, alabama, arkansas, colorado, georgia, massachusetts, minnesota, oklahoma, texas, tennessee, virginia and vermont. except for vermont and the two caucus states, minnesota and colorado, hillary clinton has all the name brand. but she still misses one thing. bernie's got a message. feel the "bern." a lot of excitement surrounding the clinton campaign. what happens when one party -- like in football, would you rather have the mo or the football? the clintons have the football but i think the mo is still with the bernie people. >> yes, but i think today is sort of a setback. you can't look at it any other way. >> i agree. >> look, super tuesday, when you judge who w

so bill clinton is best when bill clinton is positive. bill clinton is best when he talks about his vision. as president, he was a positive, if you will, communicator. i think he's best with that, but let's face it. no one likes to see someone they care about and it's tough on family members to see family members attacked or under duress. there's a natural instinct to want to react. >> his words are magnified. let's play again, mayor nutter, what he said most recently about bernie sanders saying he exists in a hermetically sealed box on "the view." let me play that one more time. >> i was disappointed in president clinton. i've known him for 25 years and i like him and i respect him. i hope this campaign does not degenerate. >> he's fighting for his wife. >> i understand that. nonthe le nonetheless, let's keep it on the issues. not on personal attacks. >> could these attacks backfire? should he go negative at all? >> i didn't hear the exact thing that president clinton said, but i get the point. i agree with mark certainly. you generally

adam: one of the things hillary clinton has going for her is bill clinton. he is out here all the time. he golfs here a lot. when i went inside, i did go and see bill clinton at an event. there were people lined up for hours waiting to see him. there is something else to remember about nevada -- it's a very transient state. people keep moving in and out. the voter population today is a lot different than 2008. i would not assume there is a connection to bill clinton. i think that is really the big question. john: you can vote on the casino floors. does bill clinton have more influence at the bellagio or the las vegas suburbs? adam: the suburbs. there was a big fight about this last night because the culinary workers, which represented a lot of the workers on the strip -- where the caucuses were held at casinos where people were working and go caucus. clinton supporters tried to get that turned out unsuccessfully. bill clinton really brought it. i think you will see more of bill clinton in the suburbs than the floor of the bellagio. john: that is almost impos

who's here for clinton? yell out. sanders? yes. clinton? sanders? clinton? sanders? hillary. hillary? you see a very converse crowd. reflects where we are here in clark county. 11% identify at african-american. both side agrees it will be very tight. what they're doing here is lining up, going to go inside, register. then the caucusing will begin. >> what you're saying, jason, 20 minutes to get inside and then the doors close? is that what happened? >> reporter: 20 minutes to get into line. that's why some people here are confused because they think if they're not inside the doors by 12:00 they won't be able to participate. not the case. as long as you're in line by 12:00 you will be allowed to participate. all you need to do, get in line. a very long line. as long as you're in line, you're all right. >> thanks very much, jason. we'll get back to you. dana, what? four years, or eight years ago about 117,000, 118,000 it democrats participated in these democratic caucuses. looks like a big turnout right now. i wonder if that helps hillary clinton or bernie sanders? >> i think b

the gap is large between sanders and clinton in south carolina- but sanders and clinton are neck and neck in other upcoming the most recent polls out of massachusetts have the two neck and neck- at 46% each- while polls out of michigan give hillary clinton a seven point lead. ww wis news 10 recent polls show hillary clinton's lead over bernie sanders expanding in south carolina. but sanders has gained some ground, especially among younger voters. meaghan norman has more. dawndy, hillary clinton does have a significant double-digit lead over bernie sanders. and clinton does have some more momentum coming off a win in nevada. but bernie sanders is still a popular choice among many young voters. i spoke with a state lawmaker and congresswoman maxine waters of california, who is campaigning for hillary -- how the two candidates would stack up against the winner of south carolina's republican primary - donald trump. "bernie sanders may be bold and he may be ambitious in his visions for this country but bernie sanders is not crazy. bernie sanders is the won't have any problem beating any r

clinton. but yet, talking about economic troubles that have not been fixed over seven and a half years, it's a tough line to walk. >> yes. when you're hugging the president you're hugging the establishment when people are antiestablishment. what we have going on here is hard left populism and hard core politics. i think that both candidates really didn't do what i expected them to do. hillary clinton did not sharpen her message. she is still meandering all over the place. and bernie sanders for the love of god, how do you go through the debate and not mention e-mails or the state department went after the clinton foundation? >> we should point out there wasn't a question. >> if i'm running you don't have to ask me the question. >> if i'm moderating i have to ask. >> it's a pertinent question. and going left of her, saying the president hasn't shown enough mercy to the community. these are the kindÑi of proposa i'm going to do to bring the racial equality and instead of talking about it, he di

clinton. jeb bush, we have seen, has been using his mother in ads and recently has brought out his brother, the former president, to endorse him. could this work in south carolina? could this be a turning point for jeb bush's campaign? >> i wouldn't say the state is not ready for another bush. we'll find out. i will say new hampshire was the correction for george w. bush. 18 points where mccain beat him. george w. bush is beloved in south carolina. extremely high poll numbers. came back eight times when i was a chairman to raise money, elect people like lindsey graham, the tim scotts of the world. so is jeb bush coming in to run for the bronze medal or put some sanity to this primary? >> hogan, we haven't mentioned john kasich. obviously had a big win in new hampshire. will that carry over into your state? by the way, he did not attend the summit today, neither did donald trump. kasich's response was, because we didn't attend because we're here, they were at another event. kasich, how will he

but i met hillary clinton. a met president clinton. >> reporter: i spoke with the clinton campaign source today who says she's going to try to draw compelling contrasts on issues that she sees being of import to african-american and hispanic voters, namely that would be crime, immigration and guns. guns perhaps the area where there's the most clear contrast between sanders and clinton, wolf. >> very powerful statement from congressman john lewis there. thanks very much. let's go to jeff zeleny. jeff, you've been on the campaign trail with the sanders campaign. how are they handling expectations, first of all, for tonight's debate? >> reporter: first of all, they're trying to get them in check. it's been a very big week for the sanders campaign, no question about it, bigger than they anticipated. that 22-point win in new hampshire has sort of raised the bar and the stakes for them. i'm told that one senior advisor is going to keep doing what he's doing. it's been working so far. but briana is absolutely right, a

bernie sanders and hillary clinton, of course, fighting for every last vote and so far clinton is leading by a wide margin. she spent most of the week campaigning hard, of course. this afternoon she's in alabama before heading back to south carolina for the watch party tonight. after a concert and rally last night, bernie sanders looking ahead to campaigning in texas and minnesota today. cnn correspondent jeff zelledy following their campaigns. jeff. >> reporter: they're certainly not counting on a win. he's been across the country in illinois, minnesota. he's going to spend tonight in minnesota as well. looking ahead to those super tuesday contests next week. but it gave him a chance to reach out to a more diverse part of his democratic electorate. he did not spend as much time here as some of his advisers would have hoped he would. he notice thad to keep going in this contest he needs to do well. we'll see if he does well here, but south carolina is feeling so different than it did eight years ago when it was hillary clinton outside the state not remaining when barack obama won this con

they know hillary clinton very well and bill clinton very well. they're closely attached to the clintons. that familiarity has paid off. i just look to the abc exit poll release and 84% so far, so far 84% of african-american voters in that democratic primary are voting for hillary clinton. that's huge. it may not hold up as high as that, but that is a huge victory. one thing to worry her, white voters in south carolina, they're voting for bernie sanders. in south carolina white daem accurate are voting for bernie sanders. that has got to be a concern for hillary clinton >>> what is the path forward for bernie sanders heading into super tuesday? does he need to re-adjust his strategy? >> i think he is talking about a lot of issues that people care about. the only way forward for him main to go negative against hillary clinton and talk about the risk democrats might be taking because she represents the status quo. voters who are happy with president obama are going to vote for hik. voters who want change are voting for bernie sanders. that's her big

clinton has scored endorsements from some of the most in influential black leaders. she is known for the black democrats and cliber would have backed her last year if not for the chance to back up the first black president. her popularity has never gone away. senator sanders has a well financed campaign here and has more than 200 paid full and part time campaign staffers and has support from dick putlian and angela bassa and danny clever and a growing face of young followers. endorsements may not mean as much as trust this time around. the easy bet this saturday is >> we will know if that's the case in about two days. >> sure. >> thanks jack. i appreciate that. >>> coming up next, take a closer look at the candidates, plus the fight and the only way to make em' better was to make em' bigger. our new center cut 10 ounce filet. our perfectly seasoned 16 ounce t-bone. and our fire grilled 18 ounce outlaw ribeye. big, bold, steaks. only at longhorn steakhouse. you can't fake steak. for lunch, try our steakhouse burger >> as we take a look to the democrat race to the whit

clinton gained five. sanders says in every interview and in most speeches, he thinks the race is actually closer. >> this campaign is trying to do -- to ask the american people to think big and not small. >> now, if his ideas are big, it's pretty clear who he regards maybe as small. and she takes offense. >> i have spent my entire adult life trying to knock down barriers. trying to even the odds. >> there's the tension between the candidates of late, and listen to this one, the surrogates are turning it up, too. listen here. former secretary of state madeleine albright after saying she doesn't understand why young women are flocking to support senator sanders. >> just remember, there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other. >> wow. okay. cnn's mave reston and jonathan mann are still with us. we're also joined by molly ball and jeff zeleny. who would have thunk it? madeleine albright, attack dog. >> did you see the look on secretary's face, secretary clinton's face? no expression ther

you have hillary clinton, bill clinton, and chelsea clinton reveling in what they hope will be a crushing symbolic victory. bernie sanders had come into south carolina strong enough to change the paradigm. they mishandled expectations in nevada, that is not happening. stategoing to lose this badly, including the african-american vote. i don't think the results will be close enough to make a difference. he is going to have to pull in miracle out of his hat on super tuesday to get back in the momentum game. i don't see him doing well enough in south carolina. if somehow he managed he could be within six or seven points, that maybe would help him. i was on the trail with him this week out of the state for a brief time. i was up with him in missouri and kansas and oklahoma and ohio. at 2:00 in kansas city or 1:00 in the afternoon on wednesday, 7000 people out to cease -- to see bernie sanders. he still believes that by campaigning in the states and beyond that there is still a movement behind him. if you looked at 9000 people, you would think that to. she has such a big lead here and some of

secretary clinton winning over senator sanders there. you don't know the precinct or two that are left outstanding. the bulk of them if you look at 97 me 97%, 98% of the vote count statewide, you're missing 6% in the state's largest yoint. that's where the missing votes are in des moines and the area around it within polk county. >> pretty awkward. pretty embarrassing, john. i've got to tell you. that they didn't have it adequately staffed in those 90 caucus sites. very embarrassing for the democratic party in iowa. we'll see if they can recreate those numbers and do it in a fair and responsible way. even though it's about as close as you possibly can think, it's a virtual tie right now, the bragging rights are important for hillary clinton if she wins or bernie sanders if he were to win in iowa. that would be significant. clearly an embarrassment for the democratic party right now. let's take a closer look at what has happened so far tonight in the iowa caucuses. first on the republican side, cnn projected a while ago ted cruz, the texa

: and 20% for hillary clinton. let's break down the numbers. so sam bleiweis for that. >> sam: this is to be expected. we expected the board to light up for hillary clinton and this is exactly what we are seeing. the first couple of counties to report around here. the first county that i saw was this county. and keep in mind that a lot of these are going to be absentee at this point. those are the numbers coming in right now and they say ze ro percent of precincts. horry county, you can see that hillary clinton leads with almost 1,000 votes in horry county from the upstate toward greenville. you can see, again, mostly absentee ballots. all absentee ballots here. hillary leading with 2500 votes at this point. bernie sanders trailing her at this point under 1,000 votes. so this is the story that we are going to see, and i think we are going to continue to see as this -- as this map will mostly light up for hillary we will wait to see if there are any of these counties for bernie sanders, but we will wait and see, daw

hillary clinton was actually in alabama today. she touched down in south carolina a short time ago ahead of this key primary tonight. you know, she and aides are pretty relaxed about this idea that they are going to secure a win here. but make no mistake, they are watching the spread. what they would really love to see is hillary clinton give bernie sanders a shellacking like he gave her in new hampshire. they feel like if she can achieve that they will be well positioned to open up a big lead coming into super tuesday by the end of super tuesday by about 100 delegates over bernie sanders. that's their aim at this point. if she can win and best bernie sanders by as much as 22 points that is something, wolf, that will be sweeter than the strawberry cupcakes that hillary clinton bought baut in birmingham, alabama, today, which i understand were promptly devowed by her staff xh has spent many, many hours on the ground here in super tuesday states, wolf. >> brianna keilar with the hillary clinton campaign. jeff zeleny with the sanders

clinton: i will do my best. ♪ ms. clinton: thank you so much. ♪ ♪ ms. clinton: you will. we got to. >> thank you so much. [laughter] ♪ ♪ [indistinct chatter] [indistinct chatter] [indistinct chatter] [indistinct chatter]

of clinton. a fox news contributor is here, also a former pollster for president jimmy carter. good to see you, sir. >> good to see you. >> let's start with that delegate race. what is bernie sanders delegate strategy? >> let's understand, the delegate -- how the delegates are portioned in the democratic party. in the primaries and caucuses, they are not like the republicans. there are no winner take all contests. they're all straight proportional contests, which means that when you have some two candidates head to head, this race will go on for a long time. the lead that right now that bernie sanders is facing are the uphill struggle, is because of the super delegates in the democratic party. one fifth of the party officials and establishment party members in other were given free seats to the convention who can do what they want and they have really put a thumb on this election and in that case, we will see it i think develop more and more as an issue. but bernie sanders' strategy is to keep ru

new hampshire's been very good to the clinton family. saved bill clinton's candidacy in 1992. helped extend hillary's race in 2008. i don't think necessarily it buys her time. but look, this debate is coming at a time when the two of them are having a real debate about what should the democratic party be. should it be what it's been? is it the party of obama and clinton? or does it need to go in a new direction as bernie sanders? clearly an army of supporters wants to take it. >> chuck, thanks very much. tonight's msnbc democratic debate kicks off live from the university of new hampshire, co-moderated by chuck, 9:00 eastern time. >>> in the republican race, another new poll shows marco rubio leaping over ted cruz in new hampshire, to take the number two spot behind trump. jackson tells us, rubio's adversaries are piling on to try to stop his rise. >> reporter: with momentum in new hampshire, marco rubio rubio's hoping for a photo finish, drawing crowds in every shot as republican rivals take theirs. >> thank you guys for being here. >> reporter: sparked by this slip, rick san

>>> hillary clinton breathes a sigh of relief. does her campaign need to correct course after such a close finish? >>> last night saw record turn out for the republican caucus. should democrats be worried? >>> you may remember two years >>> you may remember two years ago ran in a primary for u.s. senate in wyoming. she battled carpet baggers. she announced she'll run again. she will run for wyoming's house seat. she made an error. she announced her bid on facebook. the attack ads write themselves. >>> i was expected to come in anywhere like 10, 11, 12, 13. i ended upcoming in second. didn't devote tremendous time to it. didn't devote tremendous money to it. in fact, i guess in terms of money per vote, i'm at the bottom meaning the most efficient. i came in second. a came in a strong second. third was quite a bit away. i think 2,500 close to 3,000 votes away. it was a big difference between second and third. >> everyone was wondering what does it look like when donald trump finally loses. that's what it looks like. spinning his sec

clintons have not had an easy time in iowa. bill clinton won the nomination in 1992. but not before he came in fourth place in iowa. hillary clinton did not win the nomination in 2008. she lost iowa to barack obama in 2008. she also lost iowa to john edwards in 2008. she came in third place. lawrence o'donnell, master of strategy -- >> a quick parens thinks. in '92 when bill clinton was running the iowa senator tom harkin was running so everybody said, forget about it. i think the gdp of iowa dropped considerably because the democrats just ignored it basically. >> still, fourth place, 3%. you wear that like a tattoo the rest of your life. >> that absolutely is not second, that's right. >> martin o'mally is the distant third place in all the polls and there's a question as to how many caucuses will his supporters be able to put up, 15% of the total number, and stay viable? >> if any. then there's this trick that you can play. if you are the clinton campaign or the sanders campaign. if martin owe rally, if you see in your caucus gymnasium it looks like he's maybe around

hillary clinton win is in south carolina. but only a few hundred votes are in. 87.5% for hillary clinton. only 12.5% for bernie sanders. once again, very early. by all accounts, this is going to be a very, very decisive win for hillary clinton. >> david axelrod, if you're bernie sanders do you commit amount of resources to mississippi, to georgia? >> no. i think he will commit his resources to where he thinks he can win and his time, which is just as valuable. or maybe more so. look, i think one of the things that happened here, tad devine, the very smart strategist who has been running the sanders campaign said in the wall street journal this morning that their strategy was if they could run the table on the first three contests that they felt they had a shot in south carolina. that didn't happen. and so they didn't have the momentum they needed to get the push here. this is a momentum problem today for them going into tuesday. that's what they need to worry about. but they are certainly going to concentrate on tuesday and b

time in memorial questions, always with bill clinton, that big role -- >> nothing more clinton classic and andrea mitchell on a rope line. you don't need to be the biggest clintonologist to see what is going on there. he wants to frame this fight, he believes hillary clinton has a chance to do well enough here to not suffer a big defeat in new hampshire whether she closes the gap completely or not. if i were a clinton person watching that, i would be concerned he's headed in the direction which might be successful but might, as happened in 2008, backfire. >> they are lucky in this case that i have an opponent whose wife -- no clinton can trash bernie sanders without getting accused of racism like he was often in 2008. that was a bill clinton where a lot was going on there. calculation, irritation, provocation, tactical, strategic, metta -- he is a free radical in this campaign and he can be an extraordinarily brilliant surrogate. he can also cause a lot of trouble. >> the clintons are correct when they say they are held to a tougher standard by the media, and bernie sanders does things

and hillary clinton? >> my reaction is that john lewis is a hero, in the civil rights movement, and i'm not surprised that bernie sanders and he did not meet. bernie sanders was very active in the congress for racial quality at the university of chicago. he led sit-ins there. arrested protesting the housing policy of his own university. he came to washington when dr. king was there. yes, they didn't meet, but i don't think that in any way diminishes the effort of bernie sanders and hundreds of thousands of other young people who participated in the civil rights movements in the '60s didn't meet but bernie's life and direction of hit life and commit was shaped during those college years. we're very proud of bernie's record, not just as a college student but everything he did in this political dreier advance the cause of civil rights and equal rights. >> was it a fair comment from congressman lewis? a cheap shot? >> listen, i'm not going -- i think congressman lewis has the right to say whatever he wants. h

the clintons flourished -- bill clinton flourished as a centrist, the dnc. barack obama you call him a progressive. when he was in ohio, in northern florida, in the suburbs of denver, he wasn't saying i'm a liberal, i'm a progressive. so this is really good. now, republicans, we have our own little skirmish going on inside our party but more americans define themselves as centrist and slightly more conservative. >> i have not heard blue dog in quite a while. >> everyone, we're coming back, more must-see moments from our democrat being town hall, just days ahead of the new hampshire primary. and we'll talk to anderson coming up. in new york state, we believe tomorrow starts today. all across the state the economy is growing, with creative new business incentives, and the lowest taxes in decades, attracting the talent and companies of tomorrow. like in the hudson valley, with world class biotech. and on long island, where great universities are creating next generation technologies. let us help grow your company's tomorrow, today at business.ny.gov you totalle

hillary clinton doesn't have to be it. could be someone else at another point in time. >> and steve, we've talked so much about the clinton legacy last night in the town hall. i bet you'll hear tonight just how she has been on the front lines for health care, and the battle for equality as it relates to pay, as it relates to gender. is it that these young people were not around, any under 30 does not get her legacy, or is it as pointed out the messaging of it all. >> you talk about i guess the cliche about younger people as they tend to be more sort of idealistic, maybe the message of the sanders campaign of a revolution versus the message of the clinton campaign, much more pragmatism, which is hey, look, last eight years a tough slog for the obama administration dealing with the republican congress, you know, this isn't about a revolution, this isn't about sweeping transformative change. this is about more progressive, pragmatic incremental change, might be something about that, contrast in messages. other thing i'm looki

hillary clinton's camp just e-mailing out a statement saying quote, hillary clinton has won the iowa caucus, going on to say after thorough reporting and analysis there is no uncertainty and secretary clinton has clearly won the most national and state delegates. that is what clinton's camp is saying. no word yet from sanders' camp. we'll let you know when we have more. ben, this all happens in a state where 43% of the democratic caucus-goers describe themselves as socialists. let's not forget that. >> i do think that it is important. there is one thing we have to look at tonight. there is a big debate on trust with hillary clinton. there has been. most people are saying with just republicans to are bringing this up, it's just republicans that are making benghazi and the e-mail and the server everything an issue. and these polls saying we do not trust hillary clinton. you can't say this is now just a republican or democrat talking point or fight. there are truly democrats now and the majority of them in iowa, and i think moving forward and this may be her vulnerability, is this they

clinton collecting 74% of the vote. bernie sanders with 26 percent and willie wilson coming in with .4% of the vote. >> now, right now wach fox's tara is at headquarters. >> reporter: brian, dane nan, it's only been a few hours since hillary clinton was announced the winner of this south i. clinton supporters are still celebrating. south carolina is always a key state to win for the race of the white house as a winner here will likely impact results in next week's super tuesday states. place with 26% of the vote. she was defeated by president obama. and today we knew the african-american vote would play a mainly role in tonight's result because they were a majority of the vote in 2008 but early staff showing that african-american voters made up an even larger portion of voters. so the support not only from minorities by the congressman played into her win and while much of her victory speech was the future of the future of her administration, she did make a quick job at republican front-runner. >> despite what you hear,

hillary clinton used no such wording. and now late tonight, we have something of a protest from the sanders campaign. our correspondent traveling with the sanders campaign with us by telephone. explain what's going on? >> reporter: good evening. we just got off the bus. we're about to board the sanders charter to new hampshire, but there's some concern bubbling about 90 precincts the iowa democratic party did not staff 90 of these precincts. this is on background from campaign aides that they are being asked to help with the count. of course, it's not clear exactly what that means. the sanders campaign is not clear on what they're being expected to contribute, whether or not this count will be done fairly and of course with the margin what it is i think we might be able to show our viewers just how close the number of delegates that we're talking about here. these represent about 5% of the precincts still outstanding and that number has not moved over the course of the last hour or so. of course with the race potentially

and this is clinton universe. 92% for clinton, 7% for sanders. you can see equal slices one quarter and one quarter, a swath looking for honest and trustworthy and a swath looking for the right experience and it's all clinton. we've seen this in iowa, new hampshire. the way the qualities are dividing what the voters are looking for, that's what is dividing the democratic electorate. >> it's fascinating. we don't know exactly which of these qualities is driving the most voters. >> right. these two are equal. 25% one -- and when we do the others, cares about people like me or has the ability to win in november, also roughly equal slices of the electorate. one in bernie's camp, one in clinton's. >> it is fascinating. the other 50% we getting any indication what was motivating those? >> the other 50% are looking for a candidate who can win in november, the electability. those are clinton voters, and those that are looking for somebody who cares about me, or people like me, those are sanders voters. >> like it was in iowa and new hampshire. >> the dem

so how progressive are the clintons? >> so the majority of sanders and clinton supporters may not be swayed to switch support after last night's debate, but what about the small percentage of people who are undecided. dante spent sfrbl elections studying the state and the impact they can have on the election. he also has a new book out. thanks so much for joining us. let me pick up on that young, the last student who talked about the trade agreement. that really hit home. working class. he's in college, but there's a realization, everyone won't have that journey. what happens to the middle-class worker, the family that perhaps got together to send him to college. >> that's where bernie sanders has really been different from what's come before in new hampshire primaries. we have seen progressive, insurgent candidates challenging the status quo of the establishment candidate, but bernie sanders is reaching those working class, lower middle class voters who feel like the great recession left them even further behind. they h

[ applause ] >> clinton accompanied by her husband and daughter, chelsea, took to the stage after sanders. she addressed the youth vote in which sanders has dominated throughout the campaign cycle. >> i know i have some work to do, h young people but i will repeat again what iga have said this week -- [ applause ] -- even if they are notng me now, i support them. because i know -- [ applause ] i know i've had a but i also know what it's like

"jeb bush has zero communication skills so spent a fortune of special interest money on a super bowl ad. he is a weak candidate." tonight at the trump rally in manchester, new hampshire, does trump have anything else to say about bush tonight? >> reporter: not so far, anderson. you know, in addition to the snow here in new hampshire, there's been a blizzard of put-downs between donald trump and jeb bush today. donald trump described this rally

clinton staff says they hope -- clinton's staff says they hope the momentum from last night moves them even further. myra: bernie sanders didn't actually spend primary night in south carolina. he chose to watch returns out of state, campaigning elsewhere during the primary. patrick hussion has more the sanders campaign. >> a lot has been made of the african-american vote here in south carolina, as the first true test involving a state with a majority of african-americans voting democrat. when it was all said and done, hillary clinton took 80% of the black vote in south carolina, this was the first in the south primary which means we're just , getting started, and this week's super tuesday will also involve southern states with large perecentages of black voters. said his campaign is just , beginning. bernie sanders you know what : democracy is about -- and i really do love democracy -- it's one person, one vote, it's you disagree with me, that fine. you got a better idea than me, fight for it. that's a beautiful thing. but what democracy is not about is a handful of billionaires buying

that should be strike one and strike two for the clintons should be the welfare reform that bill clinton also instituted. now, barack obama polled that. it had been put on the books by the clintons. for some reason they still want to call bill clinton the first african-american president. i don't know what that is all about. the cbc congressional black caucus didn't endorse hillary clinton today. their pac did. a big difference, right? >> the reason we make that discontinuing is because keith he will tonight sweetd, he wanted to make sure everybody knew it was the pac that endorsed and he did not have input. that could turn out to be a difference. making sure that everybody understand that's there is a gap there. they're trying to make the point because some people were not inclined. >> hillary thinks just because she married the first black president, she can be black. i don't think the black americans are buying that. i was reading an article. it was the federalist. >> very nice. and them bill clinton -- >> for everyone. >> only if there are pictures. bill clinton plays a sax with arse

clintons, well, the clintons bring in a neighbor of her own to bring in. marty walsh will be here next to talk about the ground game hillary clinton will put on the final weekend in campaigning. usually an awesome boston effort, and it's apparently coming here for hillary. this is "hardball," live from new hampshire, the place for politics. ten feel dry? a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications. but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene, available as an oral rinse, toothpaste, spray or gel. biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy too. remember, while your medication is doing you good, a dry mouth isn't. biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth. >>> i'm going to make my case to the people of new hampshire. this state has been so good to my husband and me and my family. i am not going to stop fighting for new hampshire. i'm going to keep fighting until the last vote is counted on tuesday. >> i was in the room this morning watching that by hillary clinton. welcome back to

that is how clinton people are casting this. and i think that's an effective argument. >> i think, jake, no matter where your politics fall, democrat, republican in flint, you're happy that the national attention is on you now including you know, one of the front-runners in the race for the presidency because it's been as you know, months and months with not a lot of people paying much attention to the crisis. now they are happy to have that. we'll take a quick break. up next you'll hear from jake's interview with bernie sanders. what did sanders say ahead of tonight and ahead of the big day on tuesday. hey! this is lloyd. to prove to you that the better choice for him is aleve. he's agreed to give it up. ok, but i have 30 acres to cover by sundown. we'll be with him all day as he goes back to taking tylenol. yeah, i was ok, but after lunch my knee started hurting again so... more pills. yep... another pill stop. can i get my aleve back yet? for my pain... i want my aleve. get all day minor arthritis pain relief with an easy ope

hillary clinton is the big winner. she's got 73.5% to 26% for bernie sanders. 92 -- 97% of the vote is in and she's winning by a bigger margin in south carolina than senator barack obama won eight years ago over hillary clinton. let's go over to jake and dana and david. minnesota is an important state for bernie sanders. the primary there is this coming tuesday. that's why he's there tonight. >> that's right. there are about 15 states coming up in the first week of march for the democrats. and hillary clinton will compete hard in all of them, as will bernie sanders. he might actually win more states, but the clinton people say it's likely that she'll win more delegates, just because of where she's competing and the proportional allotment. let's talk more about south carolina and the historic victory that she has this evening and why the voters went for her in such astounding numbers. >> we talked a little bit earlier as we had the first wave of numbers about the candidate qualities. and we talked a little bit about how

and let's begin with clinton and sanders. msnbc's kasie hunt is in the spin room, not far from where i am right now. this is ground zero for the democrats and you've spoke with the sanders about the progressive versus liberal debate. we also have alex sites-wall who has covered the debates every season. we've not seen anything like this, though. kasie, last night there was a town hall. hillary clinton defending her progressive badge and some of the criticism that she's received. let me get your insight compared to what you've heard already on the campaign trail. >> look, i've made speeches to lots of groups. i told them what i thought. i answered questions. >> but did you have to be paid $675,000? >> well, i don't know. that's what they offered. so -- to be honest, i wasn't -- i wasn't committed to running. i didn't know whether i would or not. >> you didn't think you would run for president? >> i didn't. when i was secretary of state, several times i said, you know, i think i'm done. and, you know, so many people came to me,

clinton buzz. there are people interested in seeing her as a famous icon, but that is different to voting for her. she'll take tonight, put it in perspective and get down to south carolina, and wage a battle there, and how she does will be significant. it's important to emphasise they need to look at who is voting for her tonight, and who is not. as we talk to the young women, i had a couple of them tell me i don't appreciate it when older men tell me what to do, i don't like it when older women tell me what to do. when i hear from gloria and madeline albright they need to speak as a person, not tell me what to do. you can hear the crowd getting enthusiastic behind me. hillary clinton will be out. you can bet she'll put a positive spin. >> okay. we'll let the control room know to let me know when she speaks, and i'll toss back and we can listen to that. i want to go back to mike viqueira. she's at bernie sanders headquarters in new hampshire. >> i'm here at the bernie sanders crowd in new hampshire

could hillary clinton, should hillary clinton, rely on black voters? should anybody? contested to rain, it's the "inside story." welcome to "inside story." i'm ray suarez. public opinion researchers have found a big and persistent gap in black voter sentiment on hillary clinton and bernie sanders. advantage: clinton by a healthy margin. bernie sanders was the at large congress member then a u.s. senator from vermont, one of the whitest states in america. so goes the thinking, the map looks good for the former secretary of state. the action this week testing that assumption has been fast and furious. the political action committee of the congressional black caucus endorsed hillary clinton, keith ellison and others endorsed bernie sanders. secretary clinton and her husband the former president, are the fast friends of black america. the daughter of eric garner who died during a confrontation with the nypd, endorsed sanders. clinton and sanders met in a debate last night in milwaukee. sanders related the issue with black america as persistent gaps. >> if you have african

you have hillary clinton. governor chris christie missing from the podium, but i'm sure he'll make his way. marco rubio. and -- i'm not campaigning, but i'm back here. there you have it. we have actually new remarks from ted cruz on immigration moments ago at a town hall in new hampshire. let's take a listen. >> what are we going to do? first of all, we're going to build a wall. and i've got someone in mind to build it. >> this is the first of five events for the senator as he traveled the state today. much like he did in iowa. in the final days and hours before the caucuses. the question now, can ted cruz's ground game here in new hampshire match the organization he built in awa? will donald trump who has now admitted he didn't campaign hard enough or spend enough money in iowa change his strategy as we lead up to the primary? joining me now, the chair of the new hampshire republican party, jennifer horn. thank you so much for joining me. >> thank you for inviting me. >> how do you describe the gop in new ham

hillary clinton flew that out there. one thing that struck me from the debate is hillary clinton has really calibrated her attacks on bernie sanders. she went out of her way to stress their similarities, but every time something came up where she and bernie sanders differed, she cloaked her sense in a way with barack obama. i think that's because she's looking at the younger voters who he's going to need and she knows for them, president obama was probably the last candidate they got excited about. every time he throws something at her, for example, wall street money, the campaign contributions, she's quick to point out, barack obama did it, too. this is the way the system works. trying to give them a sense of reality, so if you look at the bigger picture, you can say bernie sanders offering a great dream, just like president obama did, but hillary clinton is trying to chip away at that and say, well, what about the details? how much is it going to cost? she repeatedly stressed how much, you know, the math doesn't add up

. >> you reran some of senator clinton's -- secretary clinton's speech tonight. you've been in big crowds. you have a tendency to talk a little louder. no one shouts louder than senator sanders. all night long. he is shouting. he is literally almost the howard peal of this campaign. >> but hillary was so angry compared to sanders. >> i don't know if she was angry. but again, let us not slip into some gender bias here. a man raises his voice, he's enthusiastic. a woman raises her voice, she's angry. let's be very careful about how we characterize some of these things. >> with the iowa caucuses over the race of course moves to new hampshire. we're going to have a very special event this wednesday night, two nights from now. the two democratic presidential candidates, hillary clinton, bernie sanders going to take part in a presidential town hall in derry, new hampshire live on cnn. it is a critical moment for each of the candidates to face the voters in new hampshire. first time they're going to be on a stage on the same night in the same place since what happened h

sanders, and in each one clinton one. if sanders had one is going tosses, he would have won. on the republican side, ted cruz upset donald trump with the help of a strong evangelical turnout. he called his with a victory for the grassroots. >> tonight is a victory for the grassroots. tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives across iowa and all across this great nation. tonight the state of iowa has spoken. amy: marco rubio came in a close third after trump am a bit ted cruz won. we will have more on iowa after headlines. the world health organization has declared the zika virus an international public health emergency. while the virus itself is usually not life-threatening, it appears to be linked to microcephaly, which causes babies to be born with abnormally small heads. it also causes a host of other health problems, including seizures, developmental delays, hearing loss and vision problems. the world health organization says the virus is "spreading explosively" and that up to 4 million people in the americas
