continuing to walk out of the basilica of the national shrine of the immaculate conception here in washington, d.c. a powerful two hour mass of christian burial for antonin scalia, associate justice of the united states supreme court. jake, these were powerful two hours, i must say, especially because father paul scalia, the son, one of nine children of justice scalia delivered such a powerful homily. >> the ability of father paul scalia to conduct that service as the celebrant, offering the homily, with such dignity, i know he would say his faith got him through it, but how difficult to conduct a service like that for one's own father, especially a father who was such a larger than life figure, not only to the nation but according to the sons and family members of justice scalia, to the family as well. such a tribute to him that father scalia was able to do it in such a way, wolf. >> and he did combine personal reflections of his dad, his father, with such powerful meaning and even brought in a little joke here and there. >> he did. there were some moments here and there about the one time h

there are 250,000 people at the march on washington. all of those people are civil rights icons, as i look at it. >> i don't doubt hillary clinton's support for civil rights and i don't doubt that she's been a supporter of the cbc and the issues you care about. but in 1964 she was a goldwater girl. by her own description she was a republican back then. i mean she was in high school. but she was not doing what bernie sanders was doing at that time. >> well, the thing that i think we all have connected with was that after her awakening, hillary clinton was able to participate in programs and put forth policies that were revolutionary at the time, working with the children's defense fund is just one. but keep in mind that back in that same time, ronald reagan, who was almost a deity for republicans, was a democrat. so i think if we're going to get into that part of things, i would say bernie sanders has just become a democrat. but i think the thing we need to focus on, frankly, is history. i think history says something about what a person

he was back in washington actually meeting with african-american leaders. he flew here and did three campaign events. a big difference in how they campaigned. hillary clinton i'm told by one close adviser was scared by what happened in new hampshire. so she clearly is campaigning more aggressively here. and the sanders campaign realizes they have a lot of energy a lot of support a lot of money behind them. this is not going to hurt him in the fundraising but it does show their campaign is not as equipped as her campaign to be as aggressive in these settings. she is the true athlete in this race. bernie sanders knows will have to step it up a little bit. >> impressive win for hillary clinton. she needed it she got it. she is going to be speaking soon. eventually we'll hear from bernie sanders as well. i want to go to brianna keilar right now. we expect to see her. i'm sure she is happy. she got the phone call from bernie sanders. >> we understand very much so wolf she is very happy. she was in her suite here at caesars palace receiving that phone call from b

we've had plenty of people in washington making all kinds of bad deals. the last thing we need in washington is someone who is going to focus on making a deal regardless of the outcome. >> i don't think that's what he's saying. >> i think what donald trump is saying he's someone who has staked his career on, quote, making deals. we've had deals coming out of washington that have taken the country in exactly the wrong direction. >> ron, ron, you can make deals as long as you make them in the right direction. >> this is a choice between someone who has been a, quote, conservative for about six months. versus someone who has been a reliable conservative and challenging the washington cartel and problems in both parties. that's what ted cruz is doing. that's the type of leadership that we need. >> ron, the exit polls, the cnn exit polls, out of new hampshire showed that those who voted in new hampshire who self-identified as quote/unquote very conservative gave the nod to donald trump over ted cruz by 12 points. i understand what you're saying, but the people

. >> you have a crony capitalist businessman that is supposed to change crony capitalism in washington? that doesn't make sense. >> we'll be back in a moment. hillary clinton's trust problem. one in five americans associate clinton with the word dishonest. plus we'll go live to column south carolina where a democratic town hall gets under way in less than 20 minutes. pro. its intelligent drive is msystems...ng. paradigm-shifting. its technology-filled cabin...jaw-dropping. its performance...breathtaking. its self-parking...and self-braking...show-stopping. the all-new glc. mercedes-benz resets the bar for the luxury suv. starting at $38,950. they speak louder. we like that. not just because we're doers. because we're changing. big things. small things. spur of the moment things. changes you'll notice. wherever you are in the world. sheraton. and choose world. choose, choose, choose. but at bedtime... ...why settle for this? enter sleep number and the ultimate sleep number event going on now. sleepiq technology tells you how well you slept and what adjustments you can make. you like the

this is the china shop, washington, d.c., they want to send the bull in and break everything. >> if you talk to voters, i talk to a woman when i was in iowa, and she said, she felt that donald trump was crazy. might get us into another world war. but she liked him anyway. as john said, he was a disrupter. it's amazing. a lot of these trump advocators, can make sort of a separation, with all of these things that they don't necessarily -- >> i think donald trump is to religion what ben carson is to foreign policy to a certain degree. he kind of tried to study up to say i love evangelicals, i'm like you. i get you, just the way ben carson -- >> let me wiki them. let me do a little google search. somehow it doesn't on that particular front, it doesn't come across as authentic. we saw it in randy kay's piece. before this voter. >> leading the polls. among evangelicals. >>> a lot more to talk about. we're going to look at a number of things. democratic bat until iowa, by the numbers guide coming up next. can a business have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes f

you never heard me be critical of washington d.c. you never heard anybody say the dog ate my homework in florida. if anybody on my team started saying it wasn't my fault, i politely sent them over into the corner and said either stop or you're going to be fired. because the first day in office as president of the united states, here's my pledge to you. unlike my sprepredecessor who w always critical of his predecessor. i will accept personal responsibility as president of the united states, and my team will do the same, and we'll begin to solve problems rather than blaming others that they're not getting solved. >> there's jeb bush. he also said about donald trump, you can't learn something if all you do is talk. it's interesting to hear from jeb bush. he says he's not going to blame other people when he gets into office. it's his office. he's going to take it. you hear donald trump blaming a lo lot of people. that's his angle. at one point he even blamed iowans because he wasn't even leading. >> i was there, and i heard the speech.

meantime, send you to washington. the lead with jake tapper starts now. >>> thanks, brooke. our long national nightmare is over. leo finally has his oscar. the lead starts now. >>> donald trump blaming his earpiece for refusal to condemn the klan, david duke, and white supremacist groups. they interrupt a trump rally. >>> the biggest day in the campaign, republican officials in washington in desperation mode trying to save the party as they know it. what will it mean to be a republican if super tuesday becomes trump tuesday? >>> plus. >> i made the worst mistake of my life. >> first on cnn, an american college student detained in north korea sobbing as he pleas for mercy. does he look like a spy working for the cia? pyongyang thinks so. >>> welcome to the lead. i am jake tapper. everything is on the line for republicans tomorrow, super tuesday. if the polls are to be believed, this time wednesday we will be talking about donald trump, the presumptive republican presidential nominee. instead of party leaders getting comfortable with the idea, they're in full panic mode becaus

your colleagues in washington. if you are going to have a problem with them, what are you going to say to them as president to get them on board so that we can get legislation passed? >> it's a great question, robert, thank you for asking it. >> let me focus on two levels, let me explain how we actually change the direction in washington. it's not that i speak with a lack of civility or respect, you have seen in the presidential campaign as other people insult me, i don't respond in kind. the bible talks about if someone treats you unkindly, repay them with kindness. it's like keeping coals on the top of their head. that is the standard i have tried to follow. i have not attacked my colleagues in the senate, democrat or republican. even if i disagree with them on the issues i'll tell you why they say ted is unlikable in washington. because i'm actually honoring the commitments that i made to the women and men who elected me. for example, on planned parenthood, i used the fight with the budgetary congress to stop gi

it was disappointing to republicans in washington. i spoke to two senior republican official who hoped that new hampshire would almost narrow the republican field and a party would able to quickly coalesce behind an alternative to donald trump and that alternative being marco rubio. we saw a wave of support come his way after iowa. but what the real fear is now in republican circles is this fight for are the establishment lane, the fight to be the donald trump alternative is going to last weeks and weeks and weeks. what did this mean for the bush and rubio campaigns going forward? they don't believe -- neither of them believe that john kasich present as serious threat in south carolina given that the electorate there is much more conservative than john kasich, who ran as a much more moderate candidate. both of them see each other as their biggest threat going forward. expect the race between bush and rubio to get much more intense in the come beiing weeks and wh that does for the fight against donald trump really throws that in disarr

his focus instead is on fighting the washington cartel, breaking up washington as usual, getting the message to the american people that they want to hear, that they want someone who is consistent, who is a conservative that they can trust. that's the focus. rick is a phenomenal, wonderful person. he's apologized. marco rubio has accepted the apology. we're moving on. we're going to focus on the people of nevada and reviving our economy and making our military strong. >> you talk about trust. look, this is not the first time your campaign has come under fire for an ad or a posting as we all know. you were criticized for the ad showing marco rubio shaking hands with president obama. the rubio campaign accused you of photoshopping the ad. it was not a picture of marco rubio and president obama. it was remarkably similar to an image you can find online. should the leaders of the campaign be responsible for the candidate himself? >> look, as we said, he's taken action and we're moving forward. now is the time for us to focus on what the people of nevada are concerned with and it is about

they would never even consider voting for ted cruz because they want somebody who is going to go to washington and make deals. that is the opposite of the appeal that ted cruz has with the more conservative electorate that is maybe more in south carolina and elsewhere but maybe not so much here in new hampshire. >> by the way, you are in new hampshire, in manchester, so stay there. just wait for a moment, i'm going to bring in a man who might have a crystal ball, the best crystal ball in this business and that's hugh hewitt. it pains me to say this, hugh hewitt -- i'm just kidding. i have to give credit where credit is due. you called it. here's your prediction on sunday. >> ted wins the republicans, trump comes in second but marco rubio is a very close third. >> the polls had trump in the lead. why didn't he win? why were you right? >> i think i was right because of jeb, josh and john, three operatives, jeff row, josh perry, john droguan who work for ted cruz who basically owned the internet and owned iowa. i told donald trump two weeks ago i thought ted cruz was going to win iowa and trump w

he will hold a rally and then return back to washington, d.c. to cast some votes tomorrow. >> he lost to donald trump by more than 60,000 votes. donald trump had more than 60,000 votes ahead of ted cruz. clearly a very significant number. i want to go over to john king right now. the evangelical vote very important in south carolina as it was in iowa, not so much in new hampshire. >> no, not so much in new hampshire, but ted cruz stuck waiting fo are a number of mall towns to report, but it looks like ted cruz is at the moment is holding on to third place. some small places in there could change the math, but if he comes out third, what does he do, he has a win in iowa and a show in new hampshire. they go on to south carolina and why is this a big state, often decisive, but not this year, but ted cruz in iowa with the evangelicals. let's look at the population here. the deeper the color the more evangelicals you find. let me shrink this down. the big ad war is here. this is critical to a christian conservative. this part of the state is critical

the republicans are going after her because they know she will not only be effective in washington but she's our best chance to make sure that the white house stays in democratic hands. >> but that's bernie sanders saying it's very serious today. i know what he said about not caring about the e-mails but today she is saying it's very serious. do you think this is very serious? >> well, i will let senator sanders answer for himself. i was out this weekend here in iowa. we have been having events all week with thousands of people. this doesn't come up. what the voters here care about is affording health care. affording college. affording child care so i'm not hearing about it from the voters here. i think they take a lot of other issues much more seriously. >> i appreciate you being on. thank you very much. coming up in the next hour we'll talk to bernie sanders campaign manager. just ahead how the top republicans spent their day in iowa. all three campaigns in overdrive knocking on doors, making thousands of calls. doing everything they can to nail down votes. we go inside. could protec

>> well it's no surprise that when you're challenge the washington cartel, when you come to washington, d.c. and challenge a leadership in both parties and then you're in a strong position to become the republican nom nigs for president, people are going to say bad things about you, that shouldn't be a surprise. what's surprising is that marco rubio reacts so poorly to people challenging his record on am nesty. he has a record, he ran for senate in the state of florida as a tea party candidate, as a conservative candidate. he came to washington, d.c., he betrayed that by signing onto the authoring the rubio/schumer amnesty bill. doing barack obama's bidding on providing an amnesty he said he wouldn't do whenever anyone calls him on his record, he gets mad and says that's a lie and so on. marco rubio should just stand up and take responsibility for his position which is that he's a liberal on the issue of am nesty. an issue that's concern to many people that goes to the issue of trust. he said he wouldn't do that. for him to step forward and essentially do barack obama's bidding on an i

it's washington, d.c.'s game of kicking the can, and your kids are going to be it. >> that's it for "the lead." i'm jake tapper. tune in sunday morning for state of the union. the guests, jeb bush and marco rubio. turning you over to brianna keilar in "the situation room." >>> happening now, natural-born lawsuit. donald trump threatens to sue ted cruz over his citizenship if it rival doesn't clean up his act and stop running negative ads. trump is trying to clean up his own act by cutting down on vug garts. will he watch his mouth in his next event? we're standsing by. >>> embracing obama. one ran against him, the other has criticized him, but they're seeing who can hug the president more tightly. >>> machete attack. four people are wounded and a suspect is dead after a terrifying rampage in an ohio deli of was this a case of lone wolf

wolf blitzer, back to you in washington. >> it's amazing how close it's been among the democrats. almost all of the votes now in -- what, 49.9% for hillary clinton. 49.6% for bernie sanders. i want to go back to jeff zeleny quickly. jeff, you're there with one of bernie sanders' top advisers. >> wolf, that's right. i'm joined by jeff weaver, the campaign manager for senator sanders. jeff, what do you make of what is still remaining out there? and are you satisfied with all the information you've gotten about this? >> well, look, there's still some of the vote out. it's very, very tight. who knows whether one of us or the other will be a couple delegates up or a couple delegates down? but this is a tremendous victory for our campaign tonight. we started in single digits and fought our way up to a tie and maybe a win. so this is really going to be a springboard for us into new hampshire and the states beyond. >> what do you think is the fund-raising possibility of this night? senator sanders raised $20 million in january online. what's your estimate of what this will do? >> well, it

they want something different to happen in washington, d.c. they are tired of the same old business being led by the same old people. and bernie represents something new. he represents a revolution that's going to adjust how business is being done in washington, d.c. and you can see that revolution taking place even in some of the remarks that hillary clinton is talking about. now she's beginning to talk about those issues that bernie has been talking about everywhere. not only in a black state of south carolina, not in harlem, but bernie sanders has been talking about that in iowa, in new hampshire. so he's been talking about those issues that are relative to the african-american community from the very beginning. >> we'll see if the young voters show up at the polls today. maria, let me come to you. does this expectation that hillary clinton will win by a large margin hurt her potentially, maybe some of the voters who were -- might have been excite philadelphia this were a much tight erase might stay home and this margin will be narrower? >>

we have to run this bunch out of washington d.c. we have to rid the earth of them. get them out of there. >> all right. on the democratic side it's even closer when you look at the numbers in the polls. hillary clinton with a 3 point lead over bernie sanders and statistically that's a tie because it's in the poll's margin of error so that's called a dead heat. the candidates are fanned out making their last minute pitch to voters at this hour and late into tonight. they don't want to miss a moment. you don't want to look back with regret. phil is here in des moines and that is where ted cruz will be holding a major rally tonight. our senior white house correspondent is in iowa. that's where donald trump is about to speak live at any moment. how confident is he about winning iowa? the polls show him ahead but it all comes down to turn out. does he think in a state where caucus going is an inherited thing that people are going to show up for him? >> that's the million dollar question and we're going to get that answer tomorrow night. i asked the campaign manager for d

bush also vowed to change washington. but he's also putting the blame on republicans especially with this supreme court nomination. a question of will you give this nominee a hearing? that's going to put republicans on the defensive. but at the same time, don, i don't see the republicans caving. now, will the democrats say, well, the president won't sign spending bills unless you give him this nominee. that, will they raise the stakes to that degree? we'll see later this year, but i don't see republicans caving any time soon and i think republicans might say, listen, we might lose the senate over this, but this is more important to prevent obama from shifting this court. >> i appreciate all of you coming on tonight. gloria borger working hard in the field. all the guys, lazy in the studio sucking up the air-conditioning or the heat. gloria, thank you very much. >> come on down. it's fun. >> thank you, guys. see you soon. >>> when we come right back, hillary clinton on the trail in harlem. will african-american voters be t

tom foreman, cnn, washington. >>> so what is the campaign's take on this? joining me now is bernie sanders campaign manager. jeff weaver. we appreciate you taking the questions. i want to give you a chance to respond to this. is that senator sanders in this photo? we're going to show it again at the sit-in chicago in 1962? >> today the photographer of that photo and another photo which is also bernie with the university president which is featured in our advertising came forward and said he took the foe itos and that is in fact bernie sanders in those photos. >> so the campaign confident despite the fact you have this research done that showed a different name in the caption that this is indeed him? >> i think there was some confusion at one point by some relatives of somebody else. but the photographer himself, who took the actual picture said that is bernie sanders. i was there. he named other people in the room. we're 100% confident given that that that is him. >> you stand by the ad. i want to ask you about another topic. this is something that senator

here in washington. 4:00 p.m. in rio de janeiro. 8:00 p.m. in syria. wherever you're watching from around the world, thanks very much for joining us. >>> up first, presidential politics here in the united states and the mad dash for votes in new hampshire. republican candidates, they're crisscrossing the state right now, just five days before the first of the nation primary. most of the candidates have multiple campaign events in new hampshire today. they're also sharpening their attacks on one another ahead of tuesday's primary. but texas senator ted cruz says he's taking the high road. donald and others have tossed more than a few nasty personal attacks my way. i can't control what they do. but i can control how i respond. and i have not responded in kind, and i do not intend to respond. i don't think the people are interested in a food fight. but i think the most important decision for the men and women of new hampshire is who do you trust? >> the new jersey governor, chris christie, made no poll gees for taking on some of his republican rivals. >>

ryan, former senior communicationings to mike huckabee is hogan gidley and in washington commentator van jones. thank you all for being here. hogan, let me begin with you. i want to read you something from a "new york times" piece. talks about mitch mcconnell. it said while he's begun preparing senators for the possibility of a trump nomination if it threatened to harm them in the general election they could run negative ads about mr. trump. let's step back and think about that. that is you know, the highest ranking mitch mcconnell saying that his fellow senators can run negative ads against the party's nominee. >> right. also make the comment that we drop him like a hot rock, i think is what he said. i want to know who the we is. the establishment? they have already gut punched the american worker time and time again. they hurt the republican party time and time again, so i'm not exactly sure where he's going. i understand he is trying to protect the senate but that's what makes donald trump so popular is that he's going against what they stand for. >> hurts them more. >> absolutely

your colleagues in washington. if you are going to have a problem with them, what are you going to say to them as president to get them on board so that we can get legislation passed? >> it's a great question, robert, thank you for asking it. let me focus on two levels, let me explain how we actually change the direction in washington. it's not that i speak with a lack of civility or respect, you have seen in the presidential campaign as other people insult me, i don't respond in kind. i try very much -- the bible talks about if someone treats you unkindly, repay them with kindness. it's like heaping coals on top of their head. that is the standard i have tried to follow. i have not attacked my colleagues in the senate, democrat or republican. even if i disagree with them on the issues i'll tell you why they say ted is unlikable in washington. because i'm actually honoring the commitments that i made to the women and men who elected me. for example, on planned parenthood, i led the fight for us to use the budgetary

here in washington, 10:00 p.m. in damascus, syria. from wherever you're joining us, thanks for joining us. we begin with the presidential race. the republicans hitting nevada, the democrats looking ahead to south carolina. three of the five remaining republican hopefuls are in nevada today. that's the short-term focus. long-term, it's the march 1st super tuesday primaries. meanwhile, on democrat's sides, hillary clinton and bernie sanders are getting ready for their battle in south carolina, and the next test of how african-american voters are going to break. we'll get to that a little bit later this hour. but first, let's check the pulse of the republican race for the white house right now, donald trump is riding high after his ten-point win in south carolina. with a stop in atlanta, he ticked off the groups that gave him the win. >> so we won with everything. we won with highly educated, pretty well educated, and poorly educated, but we won with everything. tall people, short people, fat people, skinny people! just won. >> florida s

in washington. a whole new world on the campaign trail. next stop south carolina and nevada. hillary clinton is the favorite. now scrambling to regroup after new hampshire was lopsided. she even lost the women's vote. republicans are all chasing donald trump. all while two, dropped out. now a race like none we've ever seen before, frankly. it's about to get more interesting. let me start with jim acosta at the trump rally in pendleton, south carolina. jim? >> reporter: that's right. it is a figure of speech in politics. a candidate taking a victory lap on stage.

. >> ted ted cruz, the worst kind of washington insider who just can't be trusted. >> that's a lousy house. i'm going to take your house with eminent domain and park my limos there. >> eminent domain! >> wow. there have been some dirty tricks. what do you expect over the next ten days? >> south carolina has long history here of creative campaign tactics, don, to say the least. i expect a sprint to the finish here in south carolina. as hugh was just saying, a lot of candidates have a real shot here in south carolina. it they get a bit of luck and they perform well in the debate here on saturday night. >> so outsiders, matt, have shaken up the party to the core. it's shaking up the left as well. the electorate is angry at the establishment. are you hearing the same thing in south carolina? >> there's a lot of frustration all around. people are frustrated with what seems to be a prone political class in washington, a political class that listens more to lobbyists and donors. much that much is warranted. many here in south carolina feel left behind on both sides. i think our party has th

in the meantime we send it to washington. "the lead with jake tapper" starts right now. >> thanks, brooke. i'm back from new hampshire. as donald trump might say, there was so much winning going on. "the lead" starts right now. there will be blood. donald trump moves on to south carolina with ted cruz in his cross-hairs. if you thought the race was chaotic and ugly before, wait until you see the tv ads running today. >>> going national. bernie sanders getting a huge fund-raising bump after his blowout win in new hampshire. can he break through in friendly territory for hillary clinton? >>> determined to attack. the top u.s. security official warning isis could strike inside the u.s. this year. and we may not see the terrorists coming. hello, everyone, welcome to "the lead." i'm jake tapper. our politics lead today, new hampshire narrowing the republican field. carly fiorina announcing she is suspending her campaign today. governor chris christie expected to do the same. while tuesday spelled the end for some, it was a momento

he's got those plans and washington doesn't like it because it disrupts their power structure. that's okay, if he's elected president, what you do is you drive the country to make sure the congress enacts the vision of the president. that's how ronald reagan governed. that's how in 1994 we got a balanced budget, welfare reform. that's the way we intend to do it. the dallas paper is not going to make a difference. >> i get it. ron brownstein, watch this ad from donald trump running in south carolina about immigration. >> i'm donald trump and i approved this message. >> jeff shaw was a 17-year-old football star gunned down just outside his home. his killer? an illegal immigrant gang member who just got out of prison. jeff's dad jamil is supporting donald trump for president because he knows he'll end illegal immigration. >> we're going to enforce that. that's a beautiful thing. i believe donald trump wants to make us great again and he loves america. >> what's your thoughts on the ad? and donald trump continuing this narrative, the one he started his campaign with, and how that m

is the establishment whom we cover in washington, d.c., and wielded power for many, many years under president george w. bush and they control the house, they control the senate, are they going to be able to take back the presidential nomination? >> so does that mean a real coalescing around one of the four establishment candidates? >> yeah. is there push for marco rubio or jeb bush? is that going to work at all or not? we'll see. dana bash stay here. that's it for this special edition of "the lead." dana and i will be back with cnn's special coverage of the new hampshire primary 7:00 p.m. eastern. i now turn you over to wolf blitzer in a place we like to call "the situation room." >> who wins new hampshire depends on who turns out to vote. just moments from now we'll bring you the first answers to that key question. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer, you're in "the situation room." >> i'm anderson cooper with new hampshire's secretary of state predicting a record turnout. we've just received the first exit polling data on who

i'm saying to myself, what is the biggest problem right now in washington? well, it's clearly the dysfunction in washington, the fact that they don't talk, they don't work together. very rarely does anything get done. the one person who has the independence and can be the change agent to actually get washington working again, it was very clear to me that that was donald trump. >> jeff, an endorsement like that actually moving the needle for him at all in new hampshire at this point? >> no, i don't believe so. i listened to senator smith, whom i met back in the reagan days and have enormous respect for. i'm sure he's going to disagree, but i just think that when you are involved, i mean, he was the -- scott brown was the nominee for the united states senate the last time around, surely he's got some folks in new hampshire that like him. so, yes, i would think. but the more important thing is, like president reagan, who brought in conservatives and moderates together in the party, donald trump, when you've got sarah palin on the one hand and scott brown on the

we have tom lobianco joining us from washington. tom, good morning to you. this debate was a different hillary clinton. not content to sit back and wait until more favorable political terrain. she seemed to have an answer for everything he said. this was an exchange on who was more establishment and her response. watch. >> secretary clinton does represent the establishment. i represent, i hope, ordinary americans and by the way, who are not all that enamored with the establishment. >> senator sanders is the only person who i think would characterize me a woman running to be the first woman president as exemplifying the establishment. i have to tell you it is really quite amusing to me. >> so tom, hillary clinton down 30 points in the latest cnn/orc poll in new hampshire. what is she trying to do here? >> she has to put a dent in that. you know, the funny thing is both sides downplayed what the expectations are. you know, you could argue whether or not successfully. she has to put a dent in that. she has to move past this. a lot of this -- you don't want to j

he met just a little while ago, earlier today, in washington, d.c. with african-american civil rights leaders to talk about endorsement. not clear who is going to endorse, but the naacp, the urban league, reverend al sharpton and many others. they're pushing hard now. as to hillary clinton's latest ad, i think is something we also have to point out. an ad running in nevada right now. and it pulls on the heart strings, reaching out to latino voters in a very sort of sentimental way. this is a 10-year-old girl, telling hillary clinton on camera that her parents got a deportation letter, and hillary clinton's response. listen. >> feel really, really strongly that you're being very brave. and you have to be brave for them too. because they want you to be happy. they want you to be successful. they don't want you to worry too much. let me do the worrying. i'll do all the worrying. is that a deal? >> so neck and neck in nevada. and you can tell it by the tv ads and everything else that's going on, jim. >> joe johns, thank you. john, if i could go back to t

. >> well, you know, we're certainly in a political era now with gridlock in washington where the art of political compromise i think unfortunately has been lost. i do think that the president has to be someone, he or she has to be someone who is an effective negotiator with a good temperament. he or she will have their finger on the nuclear button. and whether or not trump is that person is something not only iowa caucusgoers have to pay attention to but voters in the general election. >> tim o'brien, appreciate you being with us. >> thanks, anderson. >> i want to get the panel's take on this. donald trump has repeatedly said as president, you know, i'll modify myself, i'll change a little bit, i won't be quite so aggressive in my personality. do you think voters believe that? and do you think voters want that? >> sure, i think they believe it. you know, he has built, with all due respect to this gentleman, he has built this enormous business organization, which beyond doubt is successful. can you go through and cher write-pick a failure here or there? sure. of course. you can do tha

that's the reason he has few friends in washington. he's finding fewer and fewer on the trail. >> not in iowa. he road his few friends all the way to victory in the iowa caucuses. guys j stand by. we have a lot more to talk about. >> including fireworks. the super scary kind that can erupt in your face like is happening to marco rubio. you'll hear from chris christie is happening and what happened when a big name rubio supporter was asked to name the senator's accomplishments. >> a super scary kind of fireworks. >> the booming ones that come at you. >> and sanders needs to make enroads with the minority voters. we'll have the client team to respond to his new endorsement. we said goodbye the day. and to the city. and drifted off into the twilight. and when we woke, we found that the whole world had reinvented itself. sail with princess cruises the best cruise line in europe. princess cruises. come back new. that's why i switched from u-verse to xfinity. now i can download my dvr recordings and take them anywhere. ready or not, here i c

she joins us from washington. what are the latest details? >> reporter: we know justice scalia went to texas on friday for a hunting trip at a secluded rezorts. he had dinner on friday night. the ranch owner had been speaking to reporters and said scalia was entertaining and engaged throughout the dinner. around 9:00 p.m. he said he had a long week and wanted to get a good sleep. a separate source tells evan perez that scalia said he wasn't feeling well on friday. the next day the range owner checked on scalia because he didn't show up for breakfast and lunch and found him in bed lying in repose. the sheets weren't wrinkled, no signs of foul play. it appears he died in his sleep of natural causes and the family has reportedly requested for him not to have an autopsy. >> in terms of political fallout, a fight brewing over the successor between the white house and republicans. any timetable as to how it could play out? >> likely it will be within the next month we'll hear about a nomination based on previous nominations coming from president ob

in washington, 6:00 p.m. in london, 8:00 p.m. in jerusalem. wherever you're watching from around the world, thanks very much for joining us. up first, so-called political outsiders turning the presidential race upside down. a brash billionaire businessman and reality tv star is, a 74-year-old self-declared democratic socialist both winning very big in the first primary election of the 2016 campaign. senator bernie sanders trouncing hillary clinton 60% to 38% in new hampshire primary. on the republican side donald trump took 35% of the vote, ohio governor john kasich finished second with 16%. followed by senator ted cruz, former florida governor jeb bush and senator marco rubio. trump told cheering supporters he'll fix the country's problems, including the economy and creating jobs. >> if we had 5% unemployment, do you really think we'd have these gatherings? forgetting about security, forgetting about isis which, by the way, we're going to knock the hell out of isis, we're going to knock the hell out of them and it's going to be done the right

they trample on the middle class and they control washington. and why do they chain all those pens on the desk? who is trying to steal a pen from a bank? makes no sense! >> that is larry david who is the host of "saturday night live." i guarantee you will reprise his bernie sanders character. how do you know that because the real bernie sanders is leaving new hampshire to go to "saturday night live." >> we saw donald trump do it earlier this season, right? we saw hillary clinton make a cameo. now it is bernie sanders' turn. the show won't confirm it. snl won't admit it, but bernie sanders' campaign confirmed he will be in new york. they had no choice to reveal it because it would be odd for him not to be on the campaign trail this weekend. he's been on the show tries. larry david playing bernie sanders. here is one of those two times from earlier in the fall. >> we're doomed. we need a revolution. millions of people on the streets. and we've got to do something and we've got to do it now! i'm the only candidate up here who's not a billionaire. i

katie, columnist for above the law and washington correspondent for the new yorker. >> trump took aim at ted cruz on twitter. this is what he said. if he ted cruz dunn clean up his act, stop cheating and doing negative ads i have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen. here's how cruz responded. >> there's more than a little irony in donald accusing anyone of being nasty. given the amazing torrent of insults, obscenities and sul garritys that come out of his mouth on any given day. i have to admit it is amusing. a couple of months ago donald said i was his friend, i was amazing and terrific and suddenly every day he comes out with a new attack. i wake up in the morning, look at my e-mail to see whatever the latest attack is. you are being attacked by donald, it is always colorful. i will give him this, he's not boring. my approach has been i'm not going to respond. he can launch whatever insults he wants. >> he should know keep your friends close and enemies closer, right? do you think he will sue? >> absolutely not. donald trump was provoked really. ted cruz has rel

, it welcome contributes to the narrative of rubio being a washington insider. but there is of a different m magnitu magnitude. when you're endorsed by someone that stood next you to at a debate podium and sparred with you, you got in disagreements with and was on the campaign trail, when you're endorsed by snaun is your equal and colleague and says, yes, i wasn't the guy but there is the guy. i do think that is meaningful. i don't think it's going to, you know, make him rise more necessarily. but i do think in the marginal situations when you have a voter of massachusetts where trump is leading by 20 points saying to himself, you know, i do go with rubio or trump? maybe you think of new jersey governor chris christie and maybe that makes a difference? >> and ron, you made reference to the "new york times" piece entitled "inside the republican party's desperate mission to stop donald trump" writing this "the endorsement by mr. christie landed friday with crippling force. it was by far the most important defection to mr. trump's insurgency. mr. christie guy miff

they trample on the middle class, they control washington, and why do they chain all their pens to the desk? who is trying to steal a pen from a bank? makes no sense. >> now the sanders campaign has embraced this larry david impression. in fact, earlier this week at the town hall, the real life sanders said to anderson cooper i am larry david. to see the two together and see what humor they come up with is a great opportunity for the campaign. although it is always a little risky when a candidate appears on "snl", i would say the show so far has given him a pretty fair ride. certainly pretty easy treatment, not making fun so much as leaning in and embracing his performance on the campaign trail. i think by sanders coming down to new york leaving the new hampshire campaign trail for a day it's showing the campaign is thinking past new hampshire. they expect to win in that state on tuesday, so by taking advantage of the national exposure of "snl", they are looking ahead to other early primary states like south carolina. seeing if they can make jokes and get in the hearts and minds of som

donald trump represents strength and marco rubio represents washington, d.c. we don't need any more d.c. politicians. >> i want to talk about this nasty turn in the gop race with bob cussack, editor and chief of "the hill" and ari fleischer. ari, have you ever seen a day like today in politics before? these guys are trying to be president of the greatest country of the world. >> you really miss george w. bush now, don't you? i don't know whether to laugh or cry. the laugh part of me says look at the surge and turn out on the republican side in all four contests so far. >> there's a massive outpouring of people interested in this republican race maybe because they're not talking about political issues. the cry part is -- >> you said like normal -- i don't conduct myself. i don't know any of my co-workers conduct themselves at work. we thought we had seen it all in this campaign. everything sort of ramped up so much in this debate last night and then today. why is that, ari? >> don, here's the thing that you have to look at if you are a republican. there's a rea

i don't know how many conservative voters will say ted cruz washington insider when the constant washington insiders bob dole and trent lott and others are saying we don't like ted cruz, we can't stand him, we won't vote for him. you can't have it both ways. i think the difference between trump and cruz is this. they both have set it up this year to put the establishment flat on its back. the twoun tag team of trump and cruz. however, one is talking about taking on the washington accomplishme establishment and one's gone there and done it. >> but why change your tactics if you're winning? why would donald trump change and give specifics about things or change his campaigning when he's winning? >> he won't. >> kellyanne, i've got to disagree with you because this collection it's not about who's more conservative, which is what we typically see in a primary. this election is about who is more of an outsider. and for donald trump that means going after ted cruz and saying ted cruz took wall street money. i agree with you ted cruz is a great candidate, we'd be lucky to have him, he's the second

every single time there's been an opening in the supreme court since washington the president has put forward someone to fill that seat. these are people who love the constitution. if the framers of the constitution wanted for the last year in the president for the president to be -- i'm a lame duck, i cannot nominate someone, it would be in the constitution. it's not in the constitution because we have one president at a time and that president has to do his or her job until the very last day. so the reality is this is the only president in the history of the republic that's being asked to wait. the longest it's ever taken is 120 days. they want this president to sit on his hands 340 days and refuse to fill a vacancy on the highest court in the land. it's ludicrous. he should do his job. they should do their job. >> nobody is saying the president can't submit a name and make a nomination. in fact, he's more than welcome to do any of that. they're saying he or she is not going to be confirmed as has been the case for the last 80 years. >> josh, aren't you playing a really scary roulet

here in washington, 8:00 p.m. in tripoli, libya, wherever you're watching, thanks for joining us. we're following two developing stories this hour. first, it's the race for the white house. republicans are spread out across south carolina as they try and reach undecided voters in tomorrow's primary. saturday is also caucus day in nebraska for democrats. we'll check in on the latest with the hillary clinton and bernie sanders campaigns out there. and in washington right now, people are streaming in to pay their last suspect respects to antonin scalia. he's lying in repose at the u.s. supreme court. these are live pictures you're seeing right now. president obama and the first lady, they're expected there some time later today. we're going to talk more about justice scalia's life and legacy, that's coming up later this hour. >>> meanwhile john kasich called the republican race a demolition derby, of course referring to the running battle between donald trump and ted cruz, between ted cruz and marco rubio, between donald trump and jeb bush. are they willing to keep up the pressure an

you but in a segment to follow because i said on cnn thursday night, i was surprised on the day "the washington post" broke a story that a superhad arrived at the clinton foundation from the state department that question wasn't asked in the thursday night debate. >> absolutely. it was appalling that you have not only that. so number one, you have the fbi confirming that there is an fbi investigation going into the leading candidate to new hampshire and former secretary of state, not one question but further and even also equal, that the clinton foundation has allegations coming against it and again, neither of those issues are being brought up and i think that that's not just sad if you're a republican but as a democrat because if you allow your supposed front run tore get through the primary without facing tough questions and end up as a party post july with a candidate that's under indictment, that's a big problem, as a republican, i don't have a problem with that but i think if you're a democratic voter and knowing that your top candidate wasn't questioned about that giving them a pass is a

joining me from washington, our cnn political director, mr. david chalian, and cnn's chief political analyst who you will see also until the wee hours tonight, gloria borger. so great to have both of you on. david chalian, to you first, what are the top three things you will be watching for? >> well, start, brooke, with what you just read there in your intro, which is independents. i believe that -- one of the first things i'll look at is to see how independents split here. in our last tracking poll, they were splitting between the two parties. they can choose to play in either the republican or the democratic party. which one do they choose to play in and how does that affect the trump and sanders vote totals? those are the candidates that have been drawing from the independents. so that is the first thing i'm watching for. i'm also watching for what the voters tell us they're looking for. this is the head versus heart argument. i want to see, are new hampshire voters coming out tonight to back the person they think has the best chance of win
