you hear republicans and democrats, both of them, calling washington just a game. i think you're seeing both of these candidates really grabbing on to that type of message. the cleavage wasn't in the 90s i believe. it was the last recession. you started to see the tea party movement and the populist movement. we're seeing it take place and flourish in this campaign. >> donald trump self-funded. bernie sanders funded by small donors. neither taking big money from special interests. the clintons earned $153 million from speeches over 14 years. it is a stark contrast to that. >> it is. for two different reasons. obviously donald trump doesn't need anybody's money. if anybody missed that montage of clips, he will tell you he's very, very rich. he doesn't need anyone's money. bernie sanders has been fighting against the power and influence of big banks and big corporations his whole career in washington. his whole campaign is being fueled by small donations. it is funny when you look at them and you see they come together on this one issue, erin. >>> next hillary clinto

they expected a different kind of senator when he got to washington. and when he came in as a key member of the gang of eight, reforming the immigration program in the united states, a lot of those people who supported him when he ran for the senate and made him a star felt betrayed. >> so where do you think he'll land on immigration when all is said and done? >> it's clear he wants to do something about immigration. it's a personal issue for him because he is not only from florida but he is from a family of imgramigrantimmigrants. i would expect him to talk a lot about securing border but also talk about improving the system for entry and exit with visas so that it's a more orderly system. the real pressure on him will be whether he will take a hard stand on a path to citizenship for the 11 million or 12 million people in the country undocumented. that is the tough question for him to answer, and it's the one that he eventually will be forced to answer. >> i'm sure you're right about that. manual, thank you so much for joining me this morning. >> stil

ted cruz, the worst kind of washington insider who just can't be trusted. >> that's tough stuff. of course ted cruz is not one to sit back and let that happen. he released this ad earlier tonight. >> look, i got the trump action figure. >> no way, it's huge. >> what does he do? >> he pretends to be a republican. >> bailouts for the banks. >> too big to fail. >> i gave money to pelosi, reid and anthony weiner. >> hey, hillary, i'll give you money to be my house. >> check out my house, mr. trump. >> that's a lousy house people going to take your house and park my limos there. >> we wouldn't tolerate these values in our children. why would we want these in a president? >> well, that is the most interesting interpretation of eminent domain i have ever seen. dana, we are now entering a truly new phase of campaign. anyone who thought it was negative before, well, you ever ain't seen nothing yet. >> that is definitely a memorable ad that ted cruz has up but i thought that the donald trump ad was particularly p potentially devastating but if you saw at the end he used the words "trust-ed

. >> i'm wolf blitzer in washington. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. we have breaking news right now. a cnn key race alert. cnn can now report that hillary clinton has won. hillary clinton has won the democratic caucuses in iowa narrowly. very narrowly defeating bernie sanders. bernie sanders comes in second place. an extremely close race. i want to bring in jeff, who is our correspondent. he is covering this. you see what the results there are. these are the results now by the iowa, by the iowa democrats. >> there hadn't been an official announcement in iowa. now there's an official announcement. the iowa democrats, swref, say hillary received 700.59 estate delegate ekwifl i wants. those are representatives that will go to the iowa democratic convention. bernie sanders 696.82 state delegate ekwifl ebt with where's. it's official now. hillary clinton camp can properly declare she won the iowa caucuses. >> she, in fact, did declare a victory. i'm here in in as away, new hampshire,

they're really frustrated with washington. that's why you see the candidates who are from washington. it doesn't get mer washington than two senators running away from that record. marco rubio saying he doesn't want to be in the senate anymore, ted cruz staking himself as an anti-senate senator. there's no doubt they want someone from the outside. they get the sense they're frustrated and angry and donald trump has embodies that for them. >> you have to wonder what that means for those going forward in the senate and the house. voters are saying they're very angry with what they've done. interesting, marco rubio, there was one category that he did win and that was the category essentially people who think that he wanted experience, people who did want experience wanted marco rubio, and he hasn't been in this senate all that long even. >> yeah. you know, he paints himself as a 1-year conservative. that's a new part of his stump speech he's put in there in the past weeks. he kbos back to his time in the florida legislature as a

in washington, 2:30 a.m. friday in pyongyang. wherever you're watching from around the world, thanks for joining us. the democratic presidential candidates meet in a high-stakes debate less than eight hours from now. this will be the first face-off between bernie sanders and hillary clinton since his blowout win in new hampshire. sanders hopes to maintain the momentum, while clinton is trying to hone the message and strategy. brianna keilar is in milwaukee, wisconsin for us. the site of tonight's pbs democratic presidential debate, simulcast here on cnn. brianna, how important is this debate for both bernie sanders and hillary clinton? >> it's really going to be a crucial 95 minutes tonight, wolf. because you have this narrative in place now, coming out of bernie sanders' win in new hampshire. he's really riding high. we have seen him taking this victory lap in the last day, being very visible, going on "the view," going on "the late show," talking to reverend al sharpton. and you see hillary clinton kind of laying low in the las

republicans in washington, d.c. are starting to tell republican senators that they don't have to go to the convention if they are the nominee. they should think of running against you if you are the nominee. that combined with marco rubio doing the never trump hashtag. do you think republicans are violating the pledge? >> totally. if they want to play the game i can play it better than they k. and i have more people than they do. doing that is a total violation of the pledge, yes. >> how do you see this possible hypocrisy of the pledge? >> i think republicans are headed for a split whether trump is the nominee or not. this has gone so deep for so long. if trump is the nominee, there's no way on god's green earth that many rank and file republicans can vote for him or go to the convention or do the things they normally document if he's not the nominee, a lot of the voters will be so angry they will sit out the election. the republican party has a big, fat problem. >> already. brian, real quick. >> i was going to say,

i think i need to ask you about the story in "the washington post." donald trump is now talking to rudy giuliani. the former mayor of new york city is now advising him on his campaign. he doesn't say he is supporting donald trump. the mayor says there are a bunch of other washington and new york insiders giving advice to donald trump. interesting. >> it is interesting. donald trump is taking counsel from anyone else from outside. he does trust his wife, melani. to find he has a circle of former political leaders giving him advice and he is taking it is a real story. donald trump is not known for heeding counsel of others. he is known for shooting from the hip. this could be interesting in terms of what we hear from him in the coming weeks. >> shooting from the hip has worked for him. >> it's paid off. >> let's get at the south carolina numbers. so interesting with ted cruz and marco rubio. ted cruz playing this as a tie for second. 1,000 vote difference out of several hundred. they needed to win. this is what ted cruz saying on abc this week. basicall

i'm jake tapper in washington. fareed is next. twell what if i told you that peanuts can work for you? that's right. i'm talking full time delivery of 7 grams of protein and 6 essential nutrients. ever see a peanut take a day off? i don't think so. harness the hardworking power of the peanut. hyeah?m. we've got allstate, right? uh-huh. yes. well, i found this new thing called allstate quickfoto claim. it's an app. you understand that? you just take photos of the damage with your phone and upload them to allstate. really? so you get a quicker estimate, quicker payment, quicker back to normal. i just did it. but maybe you can find an app that will help you explain this to your father. quickfoto claims. just another way allstate is changing car insurance for good. if i wanhello.o up... or if i want to go down... no. but then if i want to come back again... yes. it's perfect. my favorite part is to be able to lift your legs up a little bit and it feels like i'm just cradled.

washington d.c. has failed them. they are electing republicans to change things down there and the congress hasn't done a thing. and they are angry with president obama because they don't agree with him. and some don't like them. so that's manifested itself. let's remember something this is 20 to 25% of the republican electorate. so we're not talking about the majority of the american public. they are angry but i don't necessarily think they are attracted to that. >> he's telling them i'm going to get rid of all of these people you don't like. you know if there is meaningful change in washington it is going to involve some kind of compromise where people who are here illegally are going to get to stay. that is the only way it is going to get done if you look at the math down there. if you tell that to republican voters right now you are basically punching yourself in the face. how do you lead without ill nating the people who want to hear something else even if it's not true. >> what i think is you have to em poer th

>> voters won't change in washington. they know this is the election between those power brokers in washington who want to maintain the status quo and all of those americans who believe the government should work for the people rather than the other way around. that's the competition you're seeing. people are tired of political correctness and those really focused on favoritism for a few here in washington rather than opportunity for all. >> well, you want change in washington to be clear, to be sure, and the question is, who is most likely to get that change? it's the issue of, you know, electability versus purity, really. when voters in iowa were asked about who the most electable was, it was marco rubio at 43%, donald trump at 25%, cruz 22. you have a record and heritage has a record of being on the side of purity sometimes instead of electability. what do you think in this case? >> well, there's really no purity in politics. what we want to do is move things in a positive direction. americans know we haven't been doin

what we can expect from tonight's republican debate in south carolina with cnn political commentator, washington correspondent for the new yorker, ryan lizza, and mj lee, director at the center for politics at the university of virginia larry sab dough, and politics editor at the root.com, jason johnson. good to see all of you. see if i can do good traffic copping here. mj, you first. ted cruz releasing an ad attacking trump using the word sleeze. listen. >> trump bang rolled politicians to steam role the little guy, a pattern of sleeze stretching back decades. >> so much for being more positive, mj. >> yeah, not seeing a lot of that around here just a week from the south carolina primary. this is because donald trump and ted cruz both badly want to win this state. first southern primary of the 2016 race. look, they've had tensions brewing awhile. this is crunch time. they each have one victory under their belt. they want to show they're the anti-establishment candidate. there's a lot at stake for the two of them. donald trump who doesn't like to be criticized showing frustration, tweeting yeste

that's what washington, d.c. does. the drive-by shot at the beginning with incorrect and incomplete information and then the memorized 25-second speech that is exactly what his advisors -- >> the bottom line, this notion that barack obama doesn't know what he is doing -- >> there it is. there it is. memorized 25-second speech. there is is t is, everybody. >> here's the response. i think anyone who believes that barack obama isn't doing what he is doing on purpose doesn't understand what we are dealing with here. this is a president, this is a president who is trying to change this country. >> oh, boy. hard to come back from this. and the boston herald ran with it. choke. it takes you back to the drinking of the water moment. >> yeah. i mean, we're chattering a lot about this. but when you look at the google search trends, 538 did an article about this. actual viewers spike -- the interest spiked when he talked about his pro life position. that was two, three times as many hits as when this exchange was going on. so may

it is the election, the primary for the democrats, ryan is with me, cnn commentator and washington correspondent at the new yorker. it's interesting, joe johns told us from one of the polling sites that it looked like to him, this is anecdotal, that voter turnout is very light. >> yeah. >> who does that help, hurt? granted, we don't have the numbers. >> look, so the conventional wisdom which has been wrong in this campaign, but i think it's right in this case, is lower turnout hurts bernie sanders. so, in a lower turnout election you have this core of the democratic party. people that vote in every election, and those voters so far in the first three states have been hillary clinton supporters. in iowa, the sanders campaign predicted that they would lose the campaign under a low turnout scenario. they would tie it under a little higher. and they would win it higher than that. >> this was iowa. >> iowa. and it was obviously in the middle. it was tied of it they nailed that. their projections have been more voters better for sanders, his two core constituencies are young people, millennials, and i

ted cruz said he would go to washington d.c. and challenge the leadership in both parties, particularly the republican party which he note in conflict after conflict with barack obama that republican leadership surrendered before breakfast and we've seen that to be true with republicans frustrated with the lack of republican agenda even though we won the house and won the senate. you know, ted cruz did not go to washington d.c. to change ideas and become somebody else and climb the latter. ted cruz insure rent conservative conservative and conservative leaders chat le ee the status quo and with republicans that want to challenge. >> three days until super tuesday. we'll see how he does in texas. ron and kaley, thank you both. >> thanks, victor. >> christi, back to you. >> thank you so much. great conversations there as we also have to talk about apple ratcheting up the fight with the fbi warning that compiling with the order to hack a phone could mean a government with quote limitless powers. >>> but first, a new california star

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.
