concorde where governor john kasich party ended about half hour ago. the mood went from pensive to party time as he finished second here in new hampshire. a practically jovial john kasich . s heree: another blast of winter weather tonight. right now we' re not seeing much snow. but it is the cold that could cause some problems. kevin: a little bit of good news report. the accumulating snows have ended for the majority of the area. there are still some flurries. even an occasional snow shower out there. you can see a few lingering flurries. northern and central parts of clermont county. a few more of your morrow and lebanon. there will be some lingering flurries. t expect widespread accumulations across the area. the problem is that during the dinnertime area we have that light snow putting down. all of a sudden you are on some black ice. that was my concern overnight tonight. the on the lookout for slick overnight tonight. the other big story tonight . we have that fresh snow cover on the ground. keeping temperatures in check. it feels like it' s close to zero outside. sheree: when

yet a consensus candidate. john kasich may end up being that candidate. there's only one person and that is ted cruz. trump might be in a stronger position right now the ted cruz, but cruise is in a strong position in the south. that may not be true after south carolina. mark: ted cruz beat trump in iowa. can he stand up to trump again? you cannot beat trump for the nomination unless you can beat him in specific states. what could ted cruz or anyone due to bring down trump? john: in some scenarios, ted cruz could be trump. south carolina. there a strong evangelical component here. cruz were to be donald trump in south carolina, that could change the calculation. mark: john kasich now has a pretty big target on his back. for weeks he has tried to stay above the fray, stressing his intention to run a positive campaign. that was before jeb bush and marco rubio saw him as a real threat which they do now. casing isl ball says now about to get some intense scrutiny. things like medicaid, immigration, guns. while taking his silver medal victory lap on morning tv, john kasich was asked abou

. that would be a game changer. keep your i on john kasich casey. this is a moment for him. he's always in danger of becoming an asterisk and people ignoring him. good in thehim some states he needs to win like michigan and ohio. donald trump, the most entertaining draw at this moment. the new york billionaire finds himself in a match with a multimillionaire who was also a 2012 republican nominee. that's right, mitt romney is back. take the next 40 seconds and catch yourself up. >> the years 2012. mitt romney is the republican nominee. 2016, mitt romney says we have good reason to believe there is a bombshell on income tax. mitt romney's tax returns made him look like a fool. he called mitt romney awkward and goofy. he fired back. show voters your back taxes. finally harry reid says i cannot imagine mitt romney having the gall to come after anyone's returns. i love when we do those things. that is incredible. my question is, why is mitt romney taking on donald trump this way, and will it work? mark: he needs to use his and he'sand stature using an issue on which he thinks he has

had to do what john kasich did, a hundred town halls. but donald trump demonstrated these giant rallies, these events here and there, maybe he gets snowed out, he stays in manhattan for a night, it doesn't really hurt him. so the hard part is over in that regard. now he's moving to a couple of bigger states and then super tuesday where these big rallies can be a lot more effective, where his domination of media attention can be something that nobody else can match. so donald trump really turned the story around tonight. meanwhile, marco rubio, who is starting to look like a really start challenger, totally collapsed. so now it's a question of where does the establishment support go? will it stick with rubio? will jeb bush get more of a lease on life headed into south carolina where his super pac has been taking a lot of criticism, a lot of flak for going so hard after marco rubio. maybe now establishment donors are going to say go after him. maybe jeb bush is the best alternative. so that splintered field is great news for donald trump and good news for ted cruz, too. but you co

former republican senator from new hampshire and national campaign trail for john kasich. john easton. and not to be confused with his father. thank you so much for being with me. >> great to be here. hard it make that mistake. hard to confuse the two of us. we're a little different. >> good to see you. thanks for joining us. governor kasich did well, and is hoping to get the same momentum in south carolina. he didn't. he came in behind bush. bush at 7.8% and bush suspended his campaign. let's step back and forget about how do you beat donald trump, so part front-runner. how do you beat the perception that low numbers like that equal, should you pull out of the race? >> look, it's actually about growing the vote. john kasich did better than anyone expected in south carolina. we stun people. we upset the pundits in new hampshire and had a great second place finish. he has grown his vote, improved poll standings in north carolina, michigan, in state after state. and so the key is really to hit each one of these primaries and win delegates. ted cruz didn't win any delegates yesterday. ma

be greater than ever before. martha: big night for donald trump and john kasich's ground game in the united states that carried him into second place finish last night, coming in at 16%. >> at a time when change is in the air, maybe, just maybe we are turning the page on a dark part of american politics because tonight the light overcame the darkness of negative campaign. [cheers and applause] >> and you made it happen. bill: ted cruz, marco rubio and a close third point and fifth place finish, all now turning their attention this morning to south carolina. >> we have done what the pundits and the media said could not be done. and what the washington establishment desperately hopes would not be done. >> lien need someone who can defeat hillary clinton in the fall. >> not just hillary clinton, apparently made the bernie sanders as well. >> our disappointment tonight is not on you. it is on me. on me. i did not -- i did not do well on saturday night but that will never happen again. bill: interesting response when you consider is the story in a statement, two days have been about debat

35 percent of the vote. john kasich a distant second 16 percent ted cruz at 12 jeb bush at 11 followed by marco rubio, chris christie and carly fiorina. trump celebrated that run win. >> we are going to make america great again. >> we are going to rebuild our military. it is going to be so big, so strong, so powerful, nobody, nobody is going to mess with us. believe me. >> the question about who was going to emerge from the governor's has been answered with john kasich second place finish. he bested chris christie and jeb bush with about 60 percent of the vote here. in doing so he struck a moderate tone. >> we are going to solve the problems in america not by being extreme, not by being first a republican or a democrat but reminding everybody that we are westerns dedicatied to shining p america. >> two in the books iowa and ted cruz victory and done fald trump with a victory in new hampshire it is on to south carolina. many of the campaigns are already there. the candidates are heading there now. there will be two exceptions. they will be in south carolina for a bit. ted cruz

their sets on nevada. john kasich is tonight's break out candidate after coming in second. he proved he has a ground game there. does he have the resources, the organization, the money to go the distance. we're watching the republican battle for third place. ted cruz, jeb bush and marco rubio, each of this them needs momentum coming out of new hampshire. as you can see, donald trump a huge win over john kasich. 43,720 votes ahead of kasich, but you see the fight for third place between cruz, bush and marco rubio, they're all at 11% right now. 84% of the vote is in. plenty of votes remaining. bernie sanders had an impressive win as well as. he's almost 45,000 votes ahead of hillary clinton in new hampshire. as of right now only 69% for hillary clinton. big, big wins for these two candidates. >>>s that's right. wa an unpredictable night. we have bernie sanders and donald trump in first place in their respective parties. donald trump right now has a 19 point percentage point victory over his next closest competitor. then john kasich second place finish and then that tight, tight

ted cruz and marco rubio, who are tied at 20. john kasich, ben carson are mired in the single digits. mark in houston, my friend, what stands out most to you about this poll? >> donald trump is king of the south. and he is strong not just in the horse race, but the voters here don't consider him the most conservative, and yet they still give him the lead. that means attempts to paint him less conservative will not have an affect and the other thing in the poll, we tested him head to head with the individual candidates and he beats them. that puts -- that undermines the argument, there you see it, trump over cruz, 49-40, trump over rubio, 48-44. close, but it puts if the field were just winno, somehow trump would disintegrate. >> i agree. if you look at this poll and look, it's hard to poll a whole bunch of states altogether, but it's a complicated business here doing all the solt eauthern sta. it's the way is he ahead and all important trait, donald trump holdings a commanding lead over these two guys. a delegate race as you know, and so it's possible that in given states, ted

' s look at the republican numbers right now, and yes, donald trump has 35%. john kasich is a strong second there with jeb bush and ted cruz falling behind. and john kasich, that is where mary has been live all night long. this is a big victory. never too is a big deal. everybody has been looking at that number, mary -- number two is a big deal. everybody has been looking at that number, mary. mary: most people would not be happy that they got number two, but here, they have treated that like a victory speech. he has covered over 100 town hall meetings and he he says he has learned a lot about new mr. kasich: maybe, just maybe, in a time when change is clearly in the air, maybe, just maybe, we are turning the page on a dark part of american politics, because tonight, the light overcame the darkness and the negative campaigning. [applause] mary: alright, so john kasich needed second place, but where does he go from here? let' s not forget that senator lindsey graham, who has dropped out of this race, has put his support behind jeb bush. he says that john kasich is to moderate for the

everybody. welcome to manchester. and john kasich is at his fourth town hall in event of the day behind me. we will talk about this and whether is a concern in the cincinnati area. let' s talk about that. >> we want to hear from kevin >> and it looked of depressive -- it looked impressive at times. a lot of what is falling on the rooftops has 30 much melted on major roadways. not too much is falling and there is a heavier batch towards florence. these will come and go. you may be perfectly dry and there is a downpour. there is a mixture of showers and, occasionally, still some rain with snow shower activity. as i mentioned, the temperatures are at or generally of love the snow has been accumulating and it will change overnight tonight with a winter weather advisory. the difference is, unlike what we are tracking, a big storm system that will dump snow, this will be a cumulative events across the area and not everyone will see the amount. there is a quick covering. there will be a timeframe in which the snow showers are heavier. i will have a look at your forecast coming up. >> speaking

. -- rather ohios and florida vote, if rubio can somehow win his state and john kasich loses ohio, that could win over the field down. if he is the only one who wins his home state, he can survive. if you look at the public polling of the three, he is in the worst shape in his home state. people in the us data this -- people in the establishment who say he is most likely are wrong because it starts with winning your home state. al: i think would be bad for a -- bad for him if ted cruz dropped out. of those ted cruz votes, more would go to trump than to rubio. mark: we will talk more about that as we go forward. in third place was ted cruz. a press conference and speaking houston, where he earned the nod of his old friend texas governor greg abbott. ted cruz compared the race with a circus. sundays, 8:00 p.m. on showtime. sen. cruz: we can't be fooled by pt barnum. [applause] the time for the clowns and the acrobats and the dancing bears is passed. [applause] now is the time for texans to stand together. mark: cruz talked about how happy he was back to be in texas, but texas may not be t

-- john kasich may end up being that candidate. there is only one person with any chance, and that is ted cruz. strongerump has a position, but because of ted cruz in the south and the sec primary day, at this moment he has the best position. that may not be true after south carolina, but it is true today. mark: he be trump -- beat trump in iowa. when he engages with trump again, which will happen in this state and beyond, can he stand up to trump and taken down in the polls? the reality is, you cannot beat trump at the nomination unless you can beat him in the state. it is possible that ted cruz can't even him in some states. based on what we know, trump is ahead. the question is, what could trump do -- could ted cruz due to bring trump down? it could be a four-way contest, but it looks like they will not get a chance to focus uniquely on trump. john: ted cruz in some scenarios could beat donald trump in south carolina. there is time between now and the debate. there is strong evangelical voters here. him in southd be carolina, that could change the calculation a lot. mark: hard to g

ahead of john kasich, john kasich who nevertheless beat expectations with a number two finish, a second place finish. the rest of the republican pack bunched together with 12% or less. between the democrats bernie sanders also soundly beat hillary clinton in new hampshire by more than 20 points. a painfully, painfully wide margin for clinton on the heels of his defeat in iowa last week. let's hear from the winners, sanders and trump. >> we are going to start winning again and we're going to win so much you are going to be so happy. we are going to make america so great again. maybe greater than ever before. i love you all. thank you, new hampshire. thank you. thank you, new hampshire. thank you. we are going now to south carolina, we're going to win in south carolina. >> i also hope that we all remember, and this is a message not just to our opponents but to those who support me as well, that we will need to come together in a few months and unite this party and this nation because the right wing republicans we oppose must not be allowed to gain the presidency. >>> let's talk abo

get out of the race. then ohio and florida vote. if rubio can somehow win his state and john kasich loses ohio that could win of the field. if he is the only one who wins his home state he can survive. if you look at the public polling of the three he is in the worst shape in his home state. people in the establishment to say he is the most likely are wrong because it starts with winning your home state. hunt: i think would be bad for a ted cruz dropped out. more of his vote would go to trump than to rubio. in third place was ted cruz. he had a press conference in houston. ted cruz compared the race with a circus. cruz: we can't be fooled by pt barnum.

. charlie: tell me how you see it? one by notd trump losing on saturday night. i think john kasich is going to come in second. marco rubio will be third. theory, john kasich is everybody's favorite uncle. they are going to vote for him in new hampshire because they are independent minded, fair-minded. everyone has a lawyer uncle. nephews.for some we have christie increase. we have a doctor uncle, we have the distant scary uncle, and the cool uncle. we have dad, jeb bush. nobody votes for dad yet. he did release the crack and over the weekend. he is surging up. it is going to be trump, k-6, rubio. overkill on the rubio repetition has rallied some conservatives to his side as has the ted cruz overkill on the ben carson story. there is nothing like the sound of liberal media and democrats to rally people to them. afteris getting rebound the pile on of the weekend. charlie: it wasn't from liberal writers. it was from everybody. it was everybody's judgment that perhaps it was only three minutes as you have suggested but it seemed to be the topic of conversation because he seemed to have mo

for the good of the party? mark: onward. john: john kasich has been attempting to hug his way to the white house. we are talking about the powerful moment at a town hall yesterday in south carolina, when he embraced a supporter who spoke emotionally about his personal struggles. >> i was in a dark place for a long time, i was depressed, but i found hope. i found the lord and my friends, now i have found it in my presidential candidate that i support. i really appreciate what those hugs you have been talking about. [applause] john: despite buzz about john kasich in the final days, his team has been talking down prospects, despite his finish in new hampshire. mark, back to the question. meeting and beating expectations. mark: fifth or sixth. beating would be a strong fifth, maybe fourth. john: portside jeb bush. -- or tie jeb bush. mark: my hat is off to his campaign. he has shown up quite a bit. they are testing waters to see if there would be a fire here. realize that was not happening, they spun everybody successfully and nothing to see here, he has nothing on the line. he is about

sixth place. but john kasich has now moved up to fourth place, just ahead of jeb bush. so this is a fierce battle under way for second place. but donald trump. donald trump is the big winner in south carolina. and no one can take that away from him right now. jake. >> wolf, if these numbers hold up, this is a rough result for jeb bush. i have to say. coming in fifth, and let's turn to our analyst table here, coming in fifth behind john kasich. this might not be the end result. if he actually ends up coming in fifth behind john kasich, who barely competed in south carolina, and jeb bush put a lot into south carolina, it's tough to make the argument that this is a campaign that should continue. >> it is, as john was just saying. look, i think he needed to break into the double digits here. i think it's going to be a very tough conversation to have with your funders about continuing to support your campaign after you brought your brother to the state, who was so popular in the republican party and very popular in south carolina. and you couldn't do any better than single digits, if tha

written off over and over. >> reporter: john kasich hours after his poignant moment on the campaign trail continued to push positive campaigning and community. >> you have to celebrate other people's wins and sometimes you have to sit with them and cry because that's what we need in this country. >> reporter: all three have one more day of campaigning in south carolina. for donald trump, all things look like they are on a glide path, but now it is urgent, especially for jeb bush who staked his campaign on a big performance in the state. for john kasich, it is momentum after the second place finish in new hampshire. cristina and miguel. >> thank you, phil. joining us to cut through the political jungle. we have colleen mccain nelson. thanks for watching the debate and now being live with us. you're the machine. a junkie. >> i was up all night thinking about this. >> oh, good. don't think too much. we are barely awake. one of the toughest moments is when a voter asked trump about taking on bush over his -- trump knocking bush over the iraq war. i want to play that for you. it got testy. >>

supporters and donors, but right now his nasty battle with ted cruz is for second place. and john kasich is making it clear he's still going after the gop's middle ground, although he tripped himself up today with a clumsy comment about women voters. i'll ask him about that. that's coming up next hour. >>> on the democratic side, bernie sanders is going on the attack and spending heavily in a bid to slow hillary clinton's momentum. polls show clinton with a big lead in south carolina just ahead of saturday's primary. with super tuesday following right after that, the heat is on. i'll speak with senator james rich, a rubio supporter and our analysts and guests will have full coverage of the top stories. let's begin with the disarray with donald trump's opponents. can anyone, jim, stop trump? >> that is the question, wolf. donald trump looks like a safe bet in tomorrow's gop caucuses here in nevada. the latest polls show trump is way out in front of his main rivals, marco rubio and ted cruz who are at war with each other with a major political casualty to show for it, the resignation of cruz'

the other side. who does this benefit. >> benefits bernie sanders, trum trum, john kasich. if they're truly unaffiliated voters they can go in and cast ballots the other way. if they were registered as a republican or a democrat however they can't change their registration on the spot. and that could cause problems if somebody who had thought potentially he or she might vote for bernie sanders and thinks bernie sanders will win instead wanted to vote for donald trump or john kasich, they ability do that and some people fit in that category. melissa: since 1952 tells you how important new hampshire is, only three candidates that lost new hampshire primary went to win the presidency. is that weighing on hillary clinton's mind at all? >> it could be. if you talk to the clinton team they would have you believe because bernie sanders is from vermont next door he would be sort of a favorite son and had this built-in advantage no amount of spending they undertook was likely to overtake. i don't think that is very good argument. i think if bernie sanders beats her and beats her soundl
