the environmental movement didn't happen in washington because of some senator making a motion. it happened because people said what is going on on this planet of ours? you can't destroy it. we have to protect the planet. you think about gay rights. if we were sitting here 10 years and somebody ago, said, i think in 2015, gay marriage will be legal in 50 states in america, the person next to him would have said what are you smoking?

[laughter] [cheering] sanders: but the point is, when people at the grassroots start moving, and when they say this is not right, in this country people should have the right to love anyone they want regardless of their gender -- [applause] tremendous changes took place. and now, you go and talk to young people, they shrug their shoulders and say what is the big deal? that is what a revolution is about. [cheers and applause] senator sanders: if we were here 30, 40 years ago, somebody jumped up and said i think america is mature enough, it has gone far enough, overcoming racism, in 2008 we are going to e

marco rubio ran as young senate candidate with the tea party support, promptly went to washington, d.c. and immediately led the effort, not just supported, led the effort for amnesty with a gang of eight bill. that is being dishonest with the voters and people are sick of it and it's not going to happen up here. >> well, it looks like he's paying off because he's moving up in the polls. >> we'll see. we'll see what the poll is on election day. >> jeff, donald trump posted this video message. >> the great slogan of new hampshire, "live free or die" means so much to so many people. all over the world they use thaethat expression, it means liberty, it means free enterprise it, means borders, strong, strong military where nobody is going to mess with us, it means take caring of our vets. what a great slogan. congratulations, new hampshire. wonderful job. >> does this video make up for him not being this with just a couple days before the primary? >> he was up there. >> this is for jeff. >> he was right there. he's coming right back. the snowstorm hit obviously. over the thing is it's tough

peter barns in washington d.c. with the details. peter. >> well, david, this is being conducted by the state department inspector general and also covers a close aid of hillary clinton's. a former state department employee who also sent e-mails to clinton's personal receiver. a foundation spokesperson confirmed the subpoena and that supports previous fox news reporting that the investigation into clinton is on two tracks. one on possible violations of federal secrecy laws with her use of private e-mail, which is being investigated by the fbi and one on possible corruption, possible influence pedaling or trading favors for donations. last night on cnn clinton's spokesman brian fallon attacked the state department investigators. >> they have mounted several different fishing expedition stile investigations when she decided to run for president. there's no basis to any of them, and i think it's intended to create headwinds for her campaign. not going to work. >> the clintons have dismissed allegations that donors gave money to the foun

you're ticked off at washington. washington's corrupt. and trump feels like a way to tell washington to go jump in a lake. i get that. that makes sense to me. david: coming up next we'll talk to rick tyler. he he is the cruz campaign manager and talking about the fight for south carolina. the back and forth between the pope and "the donald." that's next. we're the hottest young company around but if we want to keep the soda pop flowing we need fresh ideas! >>got it. we slow, we die. >>what about cashing out? no! i'm trying to build something here. >>how about using fedex ground for shipping? >>i don't need some kid telling me how to run a business! i've been doing this for 4 long months. >>fedex ground can help us save money and deliver fast to our customers. not bad, kid. you remind me of a younger me. >>aiden! the dog is eating your retainer again. let's take a short 5-minute recess. fedex ground is faster to more locations than ups ground. every auto insurance policy has a number. but not every insurance company understands the life be

i was working on other issues but this is major story in washington. first family is back here at white house. we have pictures. the president obviously was at high court paying final respects to justice antonin scalia. there has been some criticism as you know inside the beltway about the fact that the president won't actually be going to the funeral himself but he and first lady made it point to make it over and pay respects to justice antonin scalia who president called on number of occasion as giant of american jurisprudence. first family, at least the first couple, spending a little bit of time in front of the casket there, both dressed in black. spent a minute or so i would say. their hands obviously clasped. at one point heads bowedded. walked over to portrait of the justice. as you as you know, watching our coverage, honor guard of former clerks stood by his casket throughout the day. they remain posted there as well. ultimately the president and first lady spent a little time in front of that portrait there by nelson shakes. a beautiful shot.

seems like all of washington came out. president wasn't there. vp was though. fox news's shannon bream, joins us now with details. get right to the issue of what kind of cases might be decided by this 4-4 court? >> it is interesting because there are still so much work to be done this term. there are cases on abortion and president's use of executive power just days away for right now, the bench and seat where justice scalia sat there still draped in back. they will stay that way for 30 days. got back to work this morning. chief justice john roberts reading memorial tribute to his missing colleague. 292 majority opinions scalia authored during his years on bench, he was also known on occasion to dissent. that provoke ad lot of laugher in the courtroom given biting colorful dissent scalia wrote when he was not happy with the majority opinion. president moving ahead spending weekend researching potential nominees. he expects the senate judiciary committee holding a hearing on the nominee. wants the full senate to vote. the expects that too. white house press secr

we need that type of leader in washington, d.c. david: donald trump and ted cruz did get along pretty well together until couple weeks ago. >> right. david: last night, he said if donald wins the general election who the heck knows what he will do as president. sending out image of scary donald trump as president. does image of a president trump scare you as well? >> well, what i do know is what type of president ted cruz would be because i worked with him. look at one of the profound issues in america right now. david: governor, i know you want to talk about ted, i just asked you about trump. ted cruz said idea of president trump scares him. does that idea scare you? >> well, the idea that i find far more promoting, and far better is one of ted cruz being president of the united states. david: you're not answering the question. >> and, well, the reason is because, david, you're off the field here because look at what is going to happen where i am right now, that is in the great state of texas. ted cruz i believe will win the state

the working men and women have been forgotten in these washington fight. when you have the washington dealmakers getting together, the rich get taken care of, big business gets taken care of and working men and women get left behind. last night we saw some clear distinctions and one reason conservatives are uniting behind our campaign is i am the only candidate in this race with a proven record of fighting over and over again, leading the fight for the working men and women of the country, leading the fight for the constitution and the bill of rights and i hope and believe tuesday will be a good day. melissa: chris christie endorsed donald trump today. i have not seen the speech. are you concerned chris christie's support for donald trump could give him momentum to roll on supertuesday? >> the endorsement was troubling news for the marco rubio campaign. i like chris christie. i don't think it was a big surprise to many observers. our focus is simple, united conservatives in the supertuesday states and i don't think the endorsement has any significant impac

he is back in washington, d.c. now he has a senate campaign to run as well. polls shows he was running at about 3% on average here in the granite state. rick santorum is another topic to talk about because according to fox's carl cameron, sources tell carl that santorum will be suspending his presidential campaign tonight and plans on endorsing. santorum will be on the fox news channel at 7:00 tonight speaking with greta van susteren and a top aide to santorum says he will indeed make two major announcements tonight. where we are right now, we're at roby's country store, one of the famous places here in new hampshire, open since 1887. politicians have been coming through here for decades. that was the same for senator ted cruz renewed i guess you could say, back and forth with donald trump after trump essentially said cruz fraudulently won the iowa caucuses. cruz fired back a little while ago tweeting out trump is having, hashtag trumper tantrum. new poll here in new hampshire shows trump is still well on top, according to umass lowell and whgh. bush, case i

i thought i imagined from washington and new york where i lived, full of starbucks baristas and people face piercings. what i didn't expect to see rally full of middle class older people, middle classed, middle-aged people sincerely buying into the program. not because they're socialists but they're so upset with the state of rural economy in america. i should have guessed that. i shouldn't. bernie sanders movement is more potent than i imagined. probably much more potent. melissa: tucker, thank you very much. >> appreciate it. melissa: connell. connell: today was not the day to have lunch at chipolte. i don't know if yesterday was either but they closed today for all the right reasons. mexican food chain taking a big step in the right direction. welcome change. we'll tell you how coming up. every day you read headlines about businesses being hacked and intellectual property being stolen. that is cyber-crime and it affects each and every one of us. microsoft created the digital crimes unit to fight cyber-crime. we use the microsoft cloud to visualize information so we can track down th

he accomplished things in the senate which is hard to do in washington. he is the person who got through the budget provision that defunds taxpayers for obama care exchanges. so obama care is going to have to go. he has the best strategic vision for protecting us from radical islam. and projecting american power intelligently overseas. connell, i was governor on september 11th. connell: yes. >> to me the single most important role of the president is to keep the american people safe. i have absolute confidence marco rubio as president would do that. connell: that's why you picked him. foreign policy. >> one much many reasons. foreign policy hadding to so do wit. i like his domestic agenda. he is inclusive politician. so many in both parties in this campaign are running to divide for their own benefit. he is looking to bring people together for the country's benefit. connell: seems like he got tripped up, didn't seem like he got tripped up he got tripped up by chris christie in the debate. you see things play out. it probably hurt him, we don't know. >> in

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

about records, that record right there means more than any legislation than any type of person up in washington, d.c. or the beltway has tried to pass. >> scottie, you bring up endorsements and how much does it matter? >> it always matters. >> well, in south carolina, look at rubio, he has the best list of endorsements you could get. >> and sarah palin did not bring iowa to donald trump as you know as well. >> mayor nutter. >> as someone who has run for office, you would like to have the endorsement but it is not true that the culinary workers endorsed secretary clinton. >> they did. >> and she addressed them and they were helpful, but by the way of the endorsement, and if you can get it, you would. >> and it stings more when it doesn't go your way. >> and in this day and age with the instant communication, endor endorsements are less important than they used to be, and it is the politics tof past. and we are have seen it frankly on both sides. >> in many instances the rank and file is making the decisions based on the information they are gettingt at wref, and at the risk of ever disagreeing w

cnn special coverage from washington, now begins. >>> we're counting down to two crucial contests in two states. >> both the democrats and the republicans have a lot on the line. >> announcer: it's a whole new climate in the presidential campaign with the first contests in the south and the west, the candidates are turning up the heat. >> it's not enough just to be against thing. >> they're throwing everything at me, except the kitchen sink. >> ted cruz, i think he's an unstable person. >> you noticed how rattled donald gets? boy, he really -- he lost. >> he is a liar. >> announcer: right now, in the democratic race, it's nevada's choice. hillary clinton, planning to look like a front-runner again, after her crushing loss to bernie sanders in new hampshire. it's the first battleground where minority voters could decide the winner. will they rally behind clinton and her her rebound? >> it's not whether you get knocked down that matters. it's whether you get back up! >> announcer: or will nevada feel the burn? >> a funny thing happened. the people became involved in the campaign. >> an

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

in the campaign, you've heard a lot about washington and wall street. we all want to get secret, unaccountable money out of politics. that starts with appointing a new justice to the supreme court who will protect the right of every citizen to vote, not every corporation to buy elections. and we also agree that wall street can never be allowed to threaten main street again. no bank can be too big to fail, no executive too powerful to jail. but if we listen to the voices of flint and ferguson, if we open our hearts to the families of coal country and indian country, if we listen to the hopes and heartaches of hardworking people across america, it's clear there is so much more to be done. the truth is, we aren't a single issue country. we need more than a plan for the big banks. the middle class needs a raise! and we need more jobs! we need jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced, jobs that provide dignity and a future. we can do it by unleashing the innovation of our entrepreneurs and small businesses. we can do it with new investments in manufacturin

and if this polling is right, they show he's the one that will come to washington to break washington which people are ready to do. and they're the ones saying he's the one that will get us back to work. that is a powerful message. so all of this other stuff, people aren't identifying with that. and as a matter of fact, you'll even hear him -- i don't like everything he says but i like this. >> we'll continue this conversation in a second. i want to go back to wolf blitzer who has a key race alert. >> thanks. good conversation. this is a key race alert. take a look at this. very early, but donald trump maintaining a steady lead, 34.9%. marco rubio in second place right now 22.6%. ted cruz with 18%. jeb bush 12%. john kasich, 7.7. dr. ben carson, 4.8. less than 3,000 votes cast right now. but trump maintaining his lead, 356 votes right now, ahead of marco rubio. it's obviously dana and david, very early. you guys are working the exit polls and we're getting more indications of what's going on. >> really fascinating stuff. more about what the former congressman, mike rogers is talking a

in the campaign, you've heard a lot about washington and wall street. we all want to get secret, unaccountable money out of politics that starts with appointing a new justice to the supreme court. who will protect the right of every citizen to vote, not every corporation to buy elections. >> bernie sanders may have come in second, but he reminded his supporters where he was in the polls only a few months ago. >> we began in iowa. we were 50 points behind. when we began in new hampshire, we were 30 points behind. and we were way behind here in nevada. but what i think is happening is that as people hear our message -- and it's a tough message, because it speaks to the truth of an american society today that a lot of people just don't want to address. >> ron brownstein, the next big democratic contest is next saturday in south carolina primary. by all accounts, he's doing well there. >> absolutely. you'll see the biggest participation by african-americans where she won about three-quarters of them tonight in nevada as well. there was one bit of i think ve

. >> the washington cartel in full terror that the conservative grassroots are rising up. >> we won. we won. [ chanting "usa" ] >>> hello, everyone. i'm kate bolduan. we welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world this evening. >> and i'm john berman. we are live, yes, live for cnn's special coverage, a pivotal night in the race for president, a race that changes so much based on what happened tonight. in the republican race, donald trump with a huge win in south carolina, now clearly the front-runner, seemingly by a lot. for the democrats, hillary clinton reasserting herself in nevada with a decisive win there. >> and looking at the republican field, it is shrinking, and jeb bush, the popular florida governor, the man once considered really the front-runner for the gop nomination, he is now out, announcing he's suspending his campaign in front of a room of supporters tonight. marco rubio, ted cruz right now still at this moment battling it out for second place. it is close, it is tight. we are watching this. the night, though, belonged to the republican billio

recognizing that, you know what, we need somebody who is not part of the problem right now which is washington. if you are looking at the results here in south carolina, 43% of the voters went with somebody who has never been elected into the political office. so dr. carson's message of, you know, heal, inspire and revive is something that a lot of the voters are still wanting in their president. >> all right. jay sop osborne with ben carson and he is still in the race, and not going anywhere as he said. thanks for being with us. matt lewis, and also a cnn xhen ta for the, and errol louis, and you are joining us for the first time tonight, and i want to give it to you, ben carson not leaving the race, and lot of the ted cruz supporters saying, he has to get out, because they believe he is pulling directly from him. >> i can see why they think that, and more importantly, they have to convince ben car sson o that if they have any hope for him leaving the race for that reason. there is going to be a certain momentum that is going to be leading towards when we talk about the delegate counts after

and if it's even found in government, it's at the state level, not in washington, d.c. for the first time in eight years, you're going to have a president that follows the constitution. that means on my first day in office, in my first moments in office, i will cancel every sing. one of barack obama's unconstitutional executive orders. every one of them. when you make me president, when you make me president, we are going to have a president that embraces a free economy. free enterprise works, i know it, because my parents, we're not rich people. my father was a bartender and my mother was a maid. the reason they had a job is because free enterprise works. because someone who had access to money risked that money to open up a hotel and hire them. free enterprise works because it is the only economic model in the world where you can make poor people richer, and you don't have to make rich people poorer. we are going to save free enterprise. we're going to fix our tax code. i have a plan out there to do that we are going to roll back these crazy regulations that come out

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

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

i'm live in columbia and our coverage from washington is just moments away. stay with us. technology. technology... say, have you seen all the amazing technology in geico's mobile app? mobile app? look. electronic id cards, emergency roadside service, i can even submit a claim. wow... yep, geico's mobile app works like a charm. geico. expect great savings and a whole lot more.

maybe massachusetts, washington, oregon, where there's hotbeds of progressivism. she might start to point out that more. >> van, then we have to go. >> i just think there are areas, is he barack obama -- no. frankly, that's not the point. the point is that there are key differences and on the question of peace, on the question of war and peace, where he gets closer to the president and to the base than hillary clinton, he never made it an issue. >> you think bernie sanders is closer to barack obama than hillary clinton? >> on syria. on peace. >> in life. in the real world. >> on real soldiers dying? yes. on stupid wars? yes. >> on life. >> why is hillary clinton opposing our president? >> this is the game we're having. >> we'll get van a cool cloth for the break. standing by, polls are closing in south carolina. cnn could be on the verge of making a major projection right after this. nobody move! get on the floor! do something! oh i'm not a security guard, i'm a security monitor. i only notify people if there is a robbery. there's a robbery. why monitor a problem

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? >>

, they don't like you in washington. and if you want to be liked in washington, that's not a good attribute for president. >> here's a man, robin hood over here. he talks about corruption. on his financial disclosure form, he didn't even put that he borrowed money from goldman sacks ande

, 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

and if it's even found in government, it's at the state level, not in washington, d.c. for the first time in eight years, you're going to have a president that follows the constitution. that means on my first day in office, in my first moments in office, i will cancel every sing. one of barack obama's unconstitutional executive orders. every one of them. when you make me president, when you make me president, we are going to have a president that embraces a free economy. free enterprise works, i know it, because my parents, we're not rich people. my f

i went to washington to distance myself from it. you see bernie sanders saying i'm not a democrat or republican, i previously was an independent, trying to somehow not seem like you're just somebody who goes to washington, d.c. and casts votes. congress has about a 15% approval rating right now. i don't think you want to hitch your kite to that institution right now. >> right. on governors, you know, specifically jeb bush would say governors should be president, not a senator. he was comparing himself to marco rubio, essentially saying he, jeb bush, is better for prime time as an executive of a state, he's dealt with natural disasters and economy, employees, et cetera. what do you think the strongest attribute of a governor is going into the oval office? >> that they don't have to vote on things. look what's killing hillary clinton. her vote for the iraq war. that's what bernie sanders is nailing her on that. but the idea that a governor has created his own administration. you can judge but it would be impossible to say that governo

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

that other senators that washington d.c. had not stood up for it in cases like water bo d boarding. and there is no bigger amount of cowards in the world a -- >> -- exactly. like what if there were kids in the audience? i don't know if there were but i wouldn't want my kid to hear that. and i guess he repeated the p word because someone in the audience, a woman had shouted it out. do we have that sound cut yet? we do not. so donald trump said on morning joe, we were all just having fun. it was a fun moment. i got a standing ovation, the place went wild. somebody said mixed cheers. no the place went wild. i got a standing ovation. and all i was doing was repeating it and doing everybody a favor. he was just having fun. but you know what critics will say. it is not presidential to use such a term and so unnecessary and it is so crass. >> but it is talking about head lines. and if he would have just used the word coward it would not be headlining. >> but people are talking about the word. we're talking about the word -- >> but most people understand what it is in reference to. >> -- re

on education, on welfare, reforming those programs, getting the money and power out of washington. and that's just a fact. again, when you have a record, you have an enormous advantage. that's why he's done so well in the past few weeks, because when you carry your message to 106 town hall meetings, you understand what voters are concerned about, but you also have real ideas, real vision, that resonates with them. so it's been a great campaign. of course, with 12 candidates, you can always find someone who hates john kasich, but the fact is he is the right kind of leader for the country right now. >> all right. i have to leave it there. john, thanks for stopping by. >> still to come in the news room, john kasich and the power of the undecided voter in new hampshire. will his gamble pay off on this primary day? we'll talk more about that, next. see see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that i won't stop. until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for mod

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

let's go back to the election center in washington, d.c. wolf blitzer has breaking news. >> we have a key race alert on the democratic side. right now, 1% of the vote is in. these are actual votes. the first votes that have been reported, bernie sanders ahead by 252 votes over hillary clinton. 58%-38%. no votes reported on the republican side. once again, this is very, very early. these are the first real votes. let's go over to john king. show us what's going on in merrimack. this is significant potentially, john. you're familiar with this area. >> let's go back to 2008. let me show you where we're talking about. south of manchester. in the 2008 race in the democratic primary, merrimack is right up here, just above your south of manchester, north of nashua. about 2% of the state population. she narrowly won in the 2008 race. nashua is important to secretary clinton tonight. hudson over here. again, 2% of the state population. an area she did very well with blue collar traditional democrats and suburbanites. wolf, as jake just noted, it's k

let us go back to campaign headquarters in washington, d.c., and wolf blitzer. wolf? >> all right, jake. thanks very much. here's our cnn key race alert right now. on the republican side, donald trump is the winner. he's building that lead impressively. 35%. he's 8,500 votes ahead of john kasich, the ohio governor. he's got 16%. look at this battle for second and third place under way right now. ted cruz just changed to 12%. jeb bush, 11%. marco rubio, 10%. chris christie, 7%. carly fiorina and ben carson, they're down below. take a look at the democratic side. bernie sanders, the independent senator from neighboring vermont, 58%. he's about 10,000 votes ahead of hillary clinton at only 40%. a big, big win for bernie sanders. a big, big win for donald trump. you know, actually i want to go back to anderson right now. anderson, you're getting more information and you're also getting expert analysis. >> yeah, that's right. david axelrod, gloria borger are taking a deep dive on the numbers both for donald trump and for hillary clinton, what bode for her future and for th

in this campaign, you've heard a lot about washington and about wall street. now, senator sanders and i both want to get secret unaccountable money out of politics, and let's remember, let's remember, citizens united, one of the worst supreme court decisions in our country's history, was actually a case about a right-wing attack on me and my campaign. a right-wing organization took aim at me and ended up damaging our entire democracy. so, yes, you're not going to find anybody more committed to aggressive campaign finance reform than me. we also agree -- we also agree that wall street can never be allowed to once again threaten main street, and i will fight to rein in wall street, and you know what, i know how to do it. so when i tell you no bank could be too big to fail and no executive too powerful to jail, you can count on it. now, the real differences in this race are truly over how do we create a future of prosperity, opportunity, and security for all of us? we need to build a growth and fairness economy with higher wages and more good-paying jobs includin

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

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

. >> for months the republican establishment in washington and elsewhere was convinced that donald trump was going to implode, there was no way his popularity could last, he was saying outrageous things, surely this was going to end and for months you and i have been speaking about this and i have seen no evidence that he can be stopped, that he won't get the nomination. i hope that the republican establishment is realizing that this man is here to stay and they need to rekon with him. >> they probably are. they're trying to at least and i think part of the reason why they're quite concerned tonight is because all of their potential candidates who are if had that cluster for second and third place, it was sort of a circular firing squad. >> john kasich was twice -- donald trump beat him, 16% to 35%. >> voters wanted somebody from outside the establishment, outside politics and that's what they chose. >> wolf, back to you. >> thanks very much. it wasn't close. 50,000 votes he beat kasich in new hampshire. donald trump by 50,000 votes and they're still counting the votes. 91% of the vote i

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. that's literally what happened behind me tonight. donald trump took a victory lap on this stage savory that landslide win he had in the new hampshire primary. there was a point during the speech he tipped his hat to carly fiorina and chris christie. even though trump has been attacked by his rivals all day long, even marco rubio got into it. he's been taking a kid glove approach with donald trump. donald trump did not really talk about his gop opponents at this event, save a couple of lines for jeb bush. but donald tr
