i'm jake tapper. what could be one of the most critical days in republican party history, a day that could literally turn the anti-establishment wing of the party into the new normal and make the tea party revolution look like a cup of sanka. a victory could chart him on an unstoppable path to the nomination. could we be in another night with second and third speech victories? sunlen serfaty is in las vegas, jeff zeleny with democrats in columbia, south carolina. you've will covering the cruz campaign, ted cruz taking fire from every direction. how is he responding today? >> ree he's trying to hold the line and push back aggressively. we saw ted cruz launch the most direct attack yet on donald trump's character, trying to stop his momentum going forward. >> but we have a big lead and we don't want to blow it. >> reporter: donald trump looking to extend his winning streak. >> south carolina, absolutely perfect. and hopefully by tonight we'll be together and say this is absolutely perfect. >> reporter:

>> reporter: it has been intention, jake. senator cruz himself really took a very cigarette tore call turn to theed to while out on the campaign trail here, pushing back much more aggressively against donald trump, arguing almost a personal term saying he's not willing to gamble his daughter's future on donald trump. i'm told the campaign has reached a boiling point and expect for ted cruz stand up for himself more forcefully in the day ahead. he said thoo th is a preview of the arguments he will bring going forward. and the campaign seems particularly incensed about this label around their campaign that their campaign is one that's dishonest. cruz visors telling me it has reached the point of absurdity and they're not going to stand for it. if you think it has been heated thus far, very clear the cruz campaign there s going to bring the fight into super tuesday. >> let's go to mr. john king. give us the lay of the land about nevada in general tonight. >> let's hope it's not like last night when it took 36 hours to get a fina

i'm jake tapper. we are live in texas today preparing for the final republican debate before super tuesday. it is exciting, we are counting down the hours until tomorrow night's debate. this might be the last opportunity candidates have to stop donald trump and his momentum. breaking right now, cnn is announcing the official lineup and podium placement. in the center of the stage will be front-runner donald j. trump. to his right, senator marco rubio of florida, to his left, senator ted cruz of this home state, the lone star state of texas. to senator cruz's left will be governor job kasich of ohio and all the way over here will be dr. ben carson. this could be the last chance that these other candidates have to try to stop the momentum of the man in the middle. phil mattingly is in virginia where donald trump spoke earlier at the christian school founded by pat robertson. it's almost as if trump has so much momentum people are asking as if he's the nominee. people are asking what he would do on the f

jake: that's how gearing won the war; using child soldiers. we're taking him down, jake. he's done. jake: after that, matt put together a task force. me, ted, cam. we spent months investigating gearing. stakeouts, surveillance, undercover... we poured everything that we had into it. thousands of man hours. cracked his distribution chains, infiltrated his laundering operation, and the day we arrested him - that was my proudest moment on the force. when the case went to court, half our evidence got thrown out on technicalities. some witnesses recanted, others didn't even show up at all. gearing made our whole task force look like a joke. the only thing that stuck was an unlicensed weapon charge. six months probation. jules: so you changed tactics. jake: matt formed a new task force - off the books. if we couldn't get him in the courts, we were gonna get him in the streets. whenever we heard of a stash house, we wouldn't wait for a warrant - we'd crush it. we take their guns, we destroy their product. zero tolerance. and it was working. jules: did you ever use violence? we thought abou

i'm jake tapper in the cnn election stern. pheiffer candidates are vying for votes in the wild west. the real question of course is can anyone stop donald trump. marco rubio and ted cruz say this is a three-man race. rubio arguing he's the candidate that gives republicans the best chance to unify. cruz insisting he's the conservative who can get the reagan coalition to the polls in november but donald trump is again the polling favorite in nevada. and after stomping the competition in south carolina and before that new hampshire, trump looks, frankly, unstoppable. let's go to anderson cooper right now who has a panel there to talk. >> we're going to turn from nevada, we're going to go back there shortly, check in with all our correspondents at polling locations. as jake was reporting, campaigns say they are not happy based on what they are seeing, high voter turnoutle b turnout. let's discuss a little bit about what we just saw in south carolina, the democratic town hall that cnn just put on. i'm join by michael smerconish and

>> hi, jake. well, you know, the intelligence community likes to make a light-hearted comment about all of this, calling it the litany of doom, and that is what it was. i think one of the real underlying threats, which is how much isis has taken over as a major threat to the u.s., how much it has grown beyond what al qaeda ever was. and that is driving a lot of what the intelligence community clearly is doing these days. all of this leading to the republican chairman of the committee absolutely blasting the pentagon, and it really caught our attention over its intelligence practices. the chairman accusing the pentagon from everything of providing the congress with false information to deleting e-mails. another e-mail scandal out there. listen to just what the chairman of the committee had to say. >> we have been made aware that both files and e-mails have been deleted by personnel at cen com and we expect these and all other relevant documents from the committee. >> the war against isis, now, they

>> i just knew you were going to say that, jake. i would like to note for the record that while some male presidential candidates may not have made it through the snow, hillary clinton is here strong along with 20% of the women senators. so we are going through new hampshire, working hard for her, getting people out canvassing and a little snow never scares the senators from minnesota and michigan. >> that's right. >> so senator stabinow, why hillary clinton and why not your senate colleague, bernie sanders? >> first of all, let me say we're calling this women on the road to the presidency because the real revolution that's going on this year that we should all be excited about is a revolution to not only elect the most qualified and competent person in the race, but the first woman to be president of the united states. and frankly, jake, we work with both of our democratic candidates and they're terrific in their own way, but the truth of the matter is it's not enough just to be an advocate. we all have a passion for the fact that

and i'll say this beyond that, jake. listen, if donald becomes president, who the heck knows what he would do? even donald doesn't know what he would do. and i think the challenges facing this country, they're too grave to roll the dice and risk losing the supreme court for a generation, risk yet more economic stagnation and risk on foreign policy allowing radical islamic terrorism to continue to rise and threaten america. >> but just for the record, even though you think all of that about donald trump, you still would support him for the presidency if he gets the nomination? >> i -- i will support the republican nominee, but i'm working very hard, and i intend for that republican nominee to be me. >> all right. super tuesday just two days away, as you noted, you're favored to win in your home state of texas. there are 11 states voting that day. beyond texas, are there any other states you think are must-wins? >> listen, we are very strong in texas and running neck and neck with donald in a number of the super tuesday st

jake? >> thank you. if you paid close attention to the presidential race, it is far from the first time he was questioned about white supremacist support for his candidacy. he retweeted folks with horrific views. white national super pacs robe oh called voters telling them to support trump. phil mattingly is in oklahoma digging into this. mitt romney, the 2012 republican nominee called donald trump's response cod he willing of repugnant bigotry. why doesn't trump come out and say all these groups are vile, i don't want their support. >> reporter: it is a question confounding and rattling republican officials leading up to super tuesday. the reality, as you said, it isn't a new thing with donald trump or his campaign, and his lack of response leads some to wonder if this is an explicit strategy. some white supremacists like grand wizard david duke may suggest support for donald trump. >> running against donald trump at this point is really tree son to your heritage. >> i disavow, okay? i don

i'm jake tapper. our politics lead now, donald trump making an explosive charge against texas senator ted cruz, that cruz cheated his way to victory in iowa, trump says. donald trump firing off yet another twitter tirade this morning saying ted cruz, quote, didn't win iowa, that the texan committed, quote, fraud and there need to be repercussions. sunlen serfaty is in ted cruz today. how is the cruz campaign responding? >> reporter: well, ted cruz initially tried to use humor to downplay this, coining a new phrase calling this a trumper tantrum. but moments ago ted cruz lashed out, a ten-minute rant at donald trump calling him essentially an immature sore loser. >> what kind of people are we dealing with with these politicians? >> reporter: trump on a new tear against ted cruz. >> he insulted ben carson by doing what he did to ben carson. that was a disgrace. >> reporter: today fanning the flames to the controversy over what last-minute tactics the cruz campaign used in iowa, accused of trying to shif

jake? >> wolf blitzer, back to you in washington. >> thanks very much. we're following the breaking news. the initial indications we're getting from some republican caucus sites, a much larger turnout than originally expected. good news for donald trump. i want to go to jim scuitto. jim, what are you seeing? >> reporter: we're speaking to the precinct chair here. they're expecting record turnout here in greenfield. they're prepared for record-shattering turnout. about 1 in 5 -- this is a rough count -- are first-time voters. that's a combination of young people, never voted before, but also older people who voted before, but not in a gop caucus like this one. both of those early indicators that that precinct chair might be right. it is rural and agricultural, but they have correctly predicted the winner of the iowa caucuses going back to 1996. this year unpredictable. he doesn't know how it's going to go, wolf. >> we'll stay in close touch with you. let's go to brian todd. brian, what are y

>> reporter: absolutely, jake, dana. just to give you an example of what's happening in the room right now, we have all the tvs tuned inside this auditorium here to cnn, and so every time we're up on screen, every time you see the results on the screen behind me, this place starts to cheer. so they're starting to do that right now. they've been doing it every ten minutes or so. so you can definitely feel the excitement building inside this room in manchester. they have a taste for what's about to be announced. they feel like later on this evening, when you talk to the campaign manager, corey lewendowski, he's humble, has his head down, waiting for the results to come in before offering an official response from the campaign. when you talk to high-level people inside the state part of this campaign, they're predicting victory, feeling very good about tonight. as you can hear this crowd behind me, every time cnn comes up on screen and shows those numbers that are starting to come in, they're getting very excited here, jake

i'm jake tapper. welcome to "the lead." we'll begin with our politics lead and what is shaping up to be a brutal competition for the african-american vote between hillary clinton and bernie sanders, with clinton deploying a major civil rights icon this afternoon who questioned where was bernie sanders during the civil rights struggles of the 1960s? this as the two candidates prepare to debate in milwaukee, wisconsin, this evening. you can watch that pbs news hour debate live tonight right here on cnn. senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny joins me now from the debate site in wimilwaukee. jeff, i don't know if it's accurate to call hillary clinton the front-runner anymore. will we see her behaving this evening more as an underdog? >> reporter: jake, an underdog might be a bit of a stretch but she's a wounded front-runner for sure. the clinton campaign tonight is trying to draw more distinctions as they have been trying to with bernie sanders but there's no question she has far more to lose. a showdown in milwaukee. >>

>> reporter: it certainly is, jake. polls are tight and the clinton campaign is afraid that the caucus format here might favor bernie sanders even more than polls are indicating. this is part of the reason why she's battling so hard for south carolina and black support there. bernie sanders telling bet that she's just aligning herself with president obama to court the african-american vote. >> show the world that democracy is alive and well here in nevada. >> reporter: today bernie sanders is making a final pitch to nevada voters before saturday's caucuses. >> the issue is not just who wins the democratic nomination, the issue is whether nevada will play a leading role in moving this country toward a political revolution which transforms this country. >> reporter: as hillary clinton tries to tighten her grip on south carolina eight days before the first in the south primary, scoring a big palmetto state endorsement from jim clyburn, a former civil rights activist and the highest ranking african-american in congress. >>

look forward to it, jake. god bless. >>> let's turn back to that contentious democrat democrat case where bernie sanders conceded in a phone call to hillary clinton last night, but on stage he refused to call it defeat and he promised the fight would go all the way to the convention floor. >> i believe that when democrats assemble in philadelphia in july at that convention, we are going to see the results of one of the great political upsets in the history of the united states. >> senator bernie sanders joins us now. senator, thanks so much for joining us. the big question coming into nevada was whether you could do well with non-white voters. and you seemed to do well with latinos, but hillary clinton, to be frank, cleaned your clock with african-american voters. is that a concern going into south carolina, where they are a majority of the democratic electorate? >> well, it is a concern, jake. let's remember this, four or five weeks ago f i was on your show, you would have snoenoted i was 25 points behind in

manchester, new hampshire, i'm jake tapper. welcome to a special edition of "the lead." we are just hours away from polls closing here. the granite state known for surprises. with nearly a third of republican voters still undecided in these final days of campaigning here, there are very few certainties at this hour. for three republican governors with everything on the line here, the results tonight could catapult them onto the next state or send them packing. i caught up with all of them as they made their closing arguments across the state today. and while jeb bush and john kasich were reflective, chris christie was ready to go another round. >> it's actually a great test because if you're going to be president, you're going to have a lot tougher challenges than this. >> how can you better? when you win dicksville notch, that's the icing on the cake. >> marco rubio will leave and there's going to be no evidence that he was ever even more. >> our reporters are fanned out across the state covering all the candidates. we begin w

i'm jake tapper. republicans are preparing for their next debate tomorrow night in greenville, south carolina. judging from the barrage of insults, tweets and attack ads, it ain't going to be dainty and that's just the way they like their politics in the palmetto state. marco rubio going after all of his rivals. dump and ted cruz escalating their tussel. trump talking about suing cruz. as if that aren't enough an erotic film actress now in the mix. sunlen serfaty is live in greenville. trump is tweeting he might sue cruz over questions over his citizenship. how is the cruz campaign responding? >> reporter: jake, the cruz campaign is basically trying to downplay this, calling it another trumper tantrum. ted cruz and three other of his republican candidates are here today to make their pitch directly to evangelical voters at bob jones university. donald trump is not here but he's still very much in the mix from afar. donald trump's pledge to stay above the fray in south carolina short-lived. trump blast

i'm jake tapper. we are in the thick of it, people, so of course we begin today again with our politics lead. donald trump in new hampshire, the site of the nation's first in the nation primary. in just five days, and mr. trump is not taking anything for granted. granite. it's the granite state. anyway, he has four events today. some old-school politician-like appearances. he's taking an alternate route to get around today, it's called the high road. until today a road not taken. sur lan s sunlen serfaty is on the trail. trump is noticeably toning it down today. >> that's right. he backed off of going after ted cruz, as we saw him do all day yesterday, hammering him, claiming that cruz did not win iowa, that he stole the iowa election. well, there was absolutely none of that coming from donald trump today, and ted cruz was the one throwing the punches. on the ground in new hampshire, ted cruz reveling in taunting trump. >> donald trump is very rattled right now. he told the entire world he was going t

>> yes, jake, there absolutely is. the sanders campaign believes if their turnout is north of 170,000, that is a good night for them. let's put this into a bit of perspective for you. let's look at these numbers from the last two competitive iowa caucuses on the democratic side. in 2004, there were 124,000 people who participated. in 2008, 239,000 people actually attended. so the higher the number, the better it is for senator sanders. they believe that will be an indication that they brought in new voters to this process, new people who have never caucused before, so watch for the lines at caucuses, new people register to vote. if the number is higher than 170,000, that is good for senator sanders. we also bumped into him just a short time ago. he and his wife jane were having a quiet lunch before this big storm. as you can see behind me, they are setting up what they hope will be a victory party, but again, jake, it all gets back to the turnout number. if it's more than 170, the sanders campaign believe they will pul

i'm jake tapper. staying with our politics lead now, it's a fairly regular occurrence for me to sit here and tell you how donald trump said something, how he called for the u.s. government to bring back torture or to ban noncitizen muslims from entering the united states or seeming to make fun of a disabled reporter or belittling the sacrifice of pows, take your pick. pundits have thankfully learned the lesson and stopped breathlessly predicting the end of the trump phenomenon because this time he went too far. there is no too far, it seems. joining me to talk trump is scott adams, the creator of dilbert and author of a book called "how to fail almost every time and still win big" and scott on his blog has been analyzing the rise of the republican front-runner for months now and frankly has some of the most interesting and accurate observations about why trump is appealing to so many people and in the process winning. scott, thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> we don't even need

this was not a complex question from jake tapper today either. this is a simple question of, do you disavow white sprem tist, kkk and david duke. and the point was, donald trump couldn't answer that question. he had to wait and tweet out later. if he can't answer a simple question about the kkk as president of the united states of america, they should be asking at every one of his campaign stops, what other question will he have trouble answering? >> stay with me as we await this rally. you're looking at live pictures at madison, alabama where donald trump is tweeting out he will have a quote big surprise. an announcement of sorts. one would expect. at this rally. the last time we heard that from donald trump was a few days ago and that was an endorsement from chris christie. what will it be this time? we will find out. stay with us back in a moment. i am powered by protein. milk has 8 grams to help give you energy to unleash your potential. start every day with milk's protein and milk life. you may have ibs. bloating? ask your doctor if non-pres
