marco rubio. marco rubio. rand paul. marco rubio. marco rubio. marco rubio. marco rubio. governor christie. jeb bush. marco rubio. rand paul. marco rubio. marco rubio. marco rubio. rubio. marco rubio. donald trump. chris christie. rand paul. rubio. >> we hesitate to jump in here like golf announcers. let's state the obvious. something as basic and organic as folded pieces of paper in an organic u.s. mail paper while everyone who has watched a device is watching it being tallied up. it's from here that the voters in iowa, those who cared enough to go out and caucus can send a message that's heard not just around the political country but around the world. let's given where we stand given the fact this is very early on tonight. this is the republican side. again, pay attention to the percentage of the vote in. as you saw, republicans do one person, one vote. it's raw vote. having said that with 5% reporting, it's a cruz, trump, rubio race. those are the top three in a crowded republican field. to the democrats. again, our terminology is important. we have gone from too earl

. -- marco rubio. the audio us not clear but there are subtitles and they quote rubio has telling somebody he won't find any answers in the holy book. rubio aides said he actually said all the answerser in the bible. enough the cruz staffer is apologizing. >> i posted in haste. i should not have done it. it's apologized to marco rubio and the campaign, and posted that on my facebook and shared it on twitter and i'm saying it here. it was a mistake and i would not knowingly post something i knew to be false. >> but you can't put toothpaste back in tube. today marco rubio blast the cruz campaign and said he was actually praising the bike. >> talk about the va, where people who aren't doing their job need to be fired. who is going to be fired when ted cruz is president in this campaign now has repeatedly done things they have to apologize for. >> rubio is talking aboutkÑmo"p, and without jeb bush to beat up, donald trump is now targeting marco rubio. trump retweeted a supporter who questions rubio's citi

marco rubio is alleging that donald trump is a con artist. i want to give marco rubio his due. that was awesome what he just did in that presser. he has exposed donald trump for the character that he is, and he speaks for a lot of conservatives, republicans like me who don't want to see him take ahold of the republican party. he has already swept up a lot of the tea party movement, exposed them as frauds i think because they're not committed to the values that we thought they were committed to. he is touching on a lot of things that are very sensitive to us right now. and also, it's fun to watch. finally, we have broken out of the mold, we're doing these talking points and don't connect with people. i think rubio was lose. he was effective. and he got a lot of laughing. so this needs to keep going. there is really a lot to this con artist idea, he is a deal maker, and you can't trust him. >> can i just say -- >> stand by. i do need to say, we're going to hear from donald trump. donald trump is holding a news conference. donald trump says he is about to make a big announcement.

looking out marco rubio. if you are going to be double hammered i chris christie and donald trump on marco rubio, they will not be sure that he is ready for the job. they still think he is kind of green. i think that this does not have much at all for marco rubio. donors are sitting a lot on their checks right now. i do not want to throw good money in the bag. they are sitting on the check. again and again and again. our question for you is this. do you consider that that is a possible running mate? and excellent -- >> yes. neil: you wanted your running mate to do something that the presidential candidates do not feel like doing. would you have room for chris christie in your administration. the answer was, yes. what -- out of his element. christie is repeatedly doing it going after hillary clinton. just time and again saying i would serve a subpoena. i have convicted harris. he said, right now, chris christie's said he is protecting the american people. protecting the homeland. getting them uncomfortably out

>> marco rubio for president >> for g.o.p. presidential candidates being on the ground, talking veterans, listening to the issues is one of the most important tactics in their hunt for delegates u if you're a veteran or you have a family member that is serving now or in the past, can you raise your hand so we can thank you some in that's unbelievable. >> here in south carolina there are eight military bases across the state and of the nearly five million residents here, over 400,000 of them are military veterans. >> the fraud at the veterans administration is beyond belief. we're going to straighten it out, but we will make the veterans happy like they should be. >> from donald trump to ted cruz, the millitary and veteran affairs has been at the top of their list of talking points >> we have seen moralee in the military plummet. we have seen a commander in chief that does not stand with the service men and women that does not believe in their mission. >> lieutenant colonel is a veteran of afghanistan and is listening closely >

it would be a big blow, if he was third, below marco rubio. speaking of marco rubio, moving on. he is riding high since he was endorsed by nikki haley on wednesday. they were on the campaign trail today, and holding five rallies. this after scheduling challenges made him stand up to voters at the conservative review conference last night. there was an unforced error that drew fire. he rescheduled the event for tonight. there are a lot of eyes right now on young, marco rubio. so what constitutes meeting and beating expectations? mark: meeting is beating jeb bush. beating expectations is beating ted cruz, and, obviously the big casino, finishing first. i think -- marco rubio people , think that he was already riding high before the endorsement. reducing the image of trey gowdy, nikki haley, tim scott and marco rubio. my guess is if he is doing well, , he has momentum, dominating the news. john: i agree with all that analysis. i will say that meeting expectations will be a problem for him, because the ted cruz campaign will rightly say that the marco rubio computer is like crazy he

marco rubio will every day. if he wants to answer your tough questions about his record and lack of experience, if he wants to answer your question about why he ran away from his own immigration bill when it got too hot. and maybe he will answer more than one or two questions at a town hall meeting telling people the speech he memorize over the course of time. let's get the boy out of the bubble. i'm ready to play. i'll be ready to see him saturday night. martha: are steve hayes, your reaction to that. >> there are two attacks on marco rubio. twice he raised marco rubio's age. he said this isn't a student council election. voters will say one of the things that concerns them about marco rubio is his relative youth compared to others in the field. that maybe he could be another barack obama and is too inexperienced. the second is really ridiculous that he doesn't take questions. rubio has taken questions at town halls in all of the early states. i was with him in iowa when he took 8-10 questions. he answers the q

ted cruz and marco rubio. rubio with a slight lead. what we are told is to them, not all that surprising. marco rubio spent a lot of time in this district and joked he was running for mayor. that looks like it might pay off. these are unofficial and not indicative of how it will go. very tight between marco rubio. jake. >> we have about half the vote in where marco rubio was taking a lead in that precinct. it looks as though he will come in third this evening. marco rubio having a strong showing. he just edged ahead of ben carson in the polls at the end of does. he is going to have a good night there. he has a 19% with about 28% of the vote in. let's go to greenfield, iowa. jim is at another republican caucus. this is one where i believe donald trump has taken the lead. what's going on in greenfield? >> as we are standing here, they are announcing the final results of this precinct. there five precincts in this high school here. we are giving a snapshot. 28% to donald trump. 26% to rubio and him coming in second and ted cruz at 21%. we

they finished ahead of marco rubio. >> marco rubio finished stronger than expected an has the momentum going into new hampshire. when you are at the top you are going to draw fire. it will be interesting the next couple days to see how these candidates respond to marco rubio. you have to manage he's going to be on the hot seat whether he's on that center position on the stage. jon: is it possible the guy who finished third considered the real winner? >> that might be going too far. ted cruz did win. but marco rubio does have all the sights aimed at him because he's expected to run in that establishment lane. you have got chris christie, jeb bush, john kasich. those three governors don't have a path unless they can beat marco rubio in new hampshire. that's why you are seeing them go after him on this. he does have a target on his back. but he's not necessarily the winner in iowa, and that's why you are seeing this play out in new hampshire a week from today. jon: should we look for a circumstance plar firing squad that includes those three governors aiming at marco rubio with trump and

of marco rubio now. we get updates in waves. he did better than trump when it came to voters who the economy was the biggest issue. this has always been trump's sweet spot. >> i think rubio is remarkably articulate. when he gets out there and makes the case, when he speaks about his own past, rising from his immigrant, the immigrant situation he grew up. >> and he had no prompter tonight. >> then, he spins it into the story about the american dream, american opportunity, then talks to some extent about the way he's going to do it, he's got a great story to tell. when it it get out there, i has an effect. so in a state like iowa, he put in a lot of effort that resonated. trump opened it up and had the kids running around on his airplane yesterday. its great showmanship. when they think about it seriously, at the caucus they have to make the case, he give speeches and listen, i think rubio message prevailed. and i think it's sort of an encouraging sign that on ideas and being specific and not just talking

he's been pretty nice to marco rubio so far. they've said marco rubio hasn't attacked them. now that we're seeing rubio's strong showing tonight, maybe that could be the next bitter battle in the republican primary. >> and sara, we understand the trump campaign, in a way, doesn't feel like it's getting the respect that it feels it deserves. it's now won two out of three races, won south carolina big tonight, by ten points, at least. they feel like if this was anyone else, you know, we'd be measuring drapes in the oval office. >> reporter: that is absolutely right, john. even before they came to victory in south carolina, of course, they felt pretty good going into this state, but they said, look, we won in new hampshire by wide margins, we're leading in the polls nationwide, we're leading in a number of these s.e.c. states, but for some reason, people just think donald trump is going to trip and fall and everything is going to disappear. they feel like if this were any other candidate, they'd already be seen as the heir apparent to the republican nomination. and it is clear

so you've got marco rubio, 24.1%, ted cruz, 23.5%, 6,000 votes for marco rubio, 5,800 ted cruz. look at this dominance of donald trump, 42.4%. donald trump has sent out a tweet that said thank you nevada. trump touted his entrance poll numbers listing all the groups he won including latino voters. jim acosta has more from vegas. >> reporter: despite trump's attacks on marco rubio and ted cruz he barely mentioned them here. he says he will grow stronger as other candidates drop out. he touted his support among hispanic voters. >> we won the evangelicals, we won with young, we won with old, we won with highly educated and we won with poorly educated. i love the poorly educated. we're the smartest people, we're the most loyal people and you know what i really am happy about it because i've been saying it for a long time, 46% with the hispanics, 46%, number one with hispanics. >> reporter: next trump will focus on the super tuesday states that will have their say next week. his next stops virginia, texas, georgia and arkansas. he's posting a big presence in all of those states. cnn

you are friends with marco rubio. can we say you are now a marco rubio supporter? >> i think what you can say is i'm licking my wounds. i was incredibly emotionally invested in the jeb bush campaign. he wasn't just a candidate to me. he's been my friend my entire adult life. i want to wait and see what he does and, look, give me a couple of days to rebound. it's not as easy going from one spouse to another. never a good idea to go into another relationship right after a divorce. >> gloria, you've interviewed john kasich -- >> family counsel from ana navarro. >> good words. you spent some time with john kasi kasich. we're going to be speaking with him live very soon. he says it's a four-man race right now. he eliminates dr. ben carson. there's still five republicans running. is it a three-man or four-man race? >> i talk to a lot of republicans. there are some who would just wish that john kasich would get out of the way so that they could consolidate behind marco rubio. the establishment is running to marco rubio. but as one republican said to me today, he said, loo

yes, a little marco rubio here. ted cruz here and here. marco rubio there. it looks like a slugfest, wrestling match for second and third. the early results come in. if you look at the map, we take you back to 2008. that's the john mccain victory. right? this was all huckabee then. donald trump is winning here. this was mccain and mccain. 2012, this is all newt gingrich. newt gingrich with a little romney. donald trump, once again proving he wins across the republican spectrum. he's pulling in these major counties, and if you look at the map right now, wolf, every indication is that donald trump is winning up in the evangelical country, winning in the center of the state, winning along the coast right now. that would suggest to you that donald trump is on the way to just what he wanted tonight, victory in south carolina, and, again, nobody who has won the new hampshire primary and the south carolina primary has not gone on to win the republican nomination, wolf. >> based on the exit polls, john, we had earlier announced that both trump -- the trump, rubio an

of marco rubio now. we get updates in waves. he did better than trump when it came to voters who the economy was the biggest issue. this has always been trump's sweet spot. >> i think rubio is remarkably articulate. when he gets out there and makes the case, when he speaks about his own past, rising from his immigrant, the immigrant situation he grew up. >> and he had no prompter tonight. >> then, he spins it into the story about the american dream, american opportunity, then talks to some extent about the way he's going to do it, he's got a great story to tell. when it it get out there, i has an effect. so in a state like iowa, he put in a lot of effort that resonated. trump opened it up and had the kids running around on his airplane yesterday. its great showmanship. when they think about it seriously, at the caucus they have to make the case, he give speeches and listen, i think rubio message prevailed. and i think it's sort of an encouraging sign that on ideas and being specific and not just talking

if marco rubio can overtake jeb bush in a significant way, it will not only be very good for marco rubio. it will be kind of a seismic event potentially for jeb bush with regard to his ability to go forward. >> i guess that's the big question, right? is this something that really could be a death knell for him in a state where he must do so well. even more bad news for him perhaps than good news for marco rubio. dana, what is your understanding as to why she chose the make this endorsement? i know there had been speculation, everyone wanted her to endorse but that she would wait and not come out and endorse. what made her decide ahead of this primary to come out and the do it? >> not sure exactly what the reason is. just in talking to some of her advisers leading up to this, it wasn't entire clear whether she would endorse but it certainly was not a shut door, the idea that she was going to endorse. look, she is a very astute politician. nikki hayley understands the power of her endorsement and understands the power of south carolina vis-a-vis this republican presidential race. and you k

marco rubio ahead by ten ahead of cruz. as they come in, we're going to bring you more information as we get it live. >>> also breaking overnight, hillary clinton and bernie sanders at a town hall in south carolina. both confronted racial issues where african-americans will play a major role in the outcome of the democratic primary which is on saturday. right now the polls show hillary clinton with a soiled lead, nearly 2/1 there. one tense moment at the on the hall came when chris cuomo asked "headline news" why s hillary clinton why she's not heeded the call. >> john and christine, it's one of the major moments. now, the topic of her page speeches to goldman asks has been throughout the cold of this campaign. it was no exception at the town hall on tuesday night here in south carolina. major differences how bernie sanders and hillary clinton addressed this. take a listen to what bernie sanders has said about the paid speeches he has or hasn't given during his career. >> look, i have not had a paid speech -- it's against t

i look at marco rubio, marco rubio told us to google donald trump, but i did one better. i googled him. and when i googled him, you know, he owes america and the gay community an apology. because it sounds like that he may have had a gay lifestyle in his past. >> what? >> he owes people an apology. >> no, lynnette. >> all you have to do is goog i will. >> lynnette. >> you'll see it. that's what is on google. you have to shall cautious when you tell people to google people. we don't know. so we'll say allegedly. he shouldn't have told people to google donald -- >> we did our own fact check, and we found donald trump did indeed hire workers from outside of the united states to work in his various hotels, in marco rubio -- mar-a-lago. >> he knows how create jobs, he hires people. that's who we need in our country. >> rochelle, donald trump says illegal immigrants, undocumented immigrants are taking americans jobs, but he is getting people from outside of the country and hiring them instead of americans. that doesn't bother you, rochelle. >> go ahead. whichever of you wants t

it was placed by marco rubio's campaign. it says paid for by marco rubio for president. i just stopped counting how many times the word lie is used here. it says cruz busted on lies. it goes on to talk about how many times rubio says he lied about a whole host of things. this is where the political race is right now. this is a political season, especially because the stakes are so high here in south carolina. >> you have rubio staffers at a cruz rally and putting them on every single vehicle. thank you very much. >>> let's talk about someone who is deeply popular here in south carolina who endorsed marco rubio. that's senator tim scott, who joins me now. senator, let's just start with the big question here. you've endorsed marco rubio. you heard dana's piece. it has gotten nasty. why did you choose rubio? >> well, i had the good fortunafortune of hosting two presidential forums. one was head and shoulders above the rest. that was marco rubio. he has more experience on foreign policy than any other candidate. he has lived the american dream. he uses conservative principle

marco rubio, i heard from a congressman that's supporting him that said, marco rubio almost surprised himself last night, and so if he can now do that step change into being one of the leaders of that pack that you just talked about, kasich, christie, jeb, he might do very well. but these next two days are critical because people haven't made up their minds. >> half the electorate up for grabs. thank you both so much. >>> and breaking tonight, fresh off his better than expected results in iowa, senator marco rubio is here to talk about his chances for new hampshire. plus, new details on the secret to how senator ted cruz scored his big victory. tony perkins will join us on that. and how hillary clinton pushed some sanders' supporters a little too far, when we come back. >> i'll look back over the years of my involvement in the very first job i had, and i know -- i know -- i thought i married an italian. my lineage was the vecchios and zuccolis. through ancestry, through dna i found out that i was only 16% italian. he was 34% eastern european. so i went onto ancestry, soon learned that

marco rubio went out there, he did the right thing. he said kind things about this man who has given his life to public service. and donald trump is a classless clown. and it was -- it was horrible for him not to do that. and we are now i think in a situation where we are beginning to adapt to absurdity. it is absurd to have someone like him on the national stage who won't even acknowledge -- if he were your child on a soccer pitch, you would have wanted him to act better toward jeb bush tonight. there is something really going wrong in this country and somebody has got to be willing to speak about it tonight. >> in terms of adapting to the new normal in politics, jeffrey, i want to ask this question. this week we had president obama, former president george w. bush, and pope francis. all three of them within the course of about three days go after, whether named or not named, go after donald trump and his positions and his tone and tenor. >> right. >> do you think that helped donald trump? >> yes, i do. our friend david over here has

same with marco rubio. he cannot go against hillary clinton. >> those are lies. >> people are tired with washington insiders. he's not going to have -- >> the campaign just ryes. >> you have jason laughing and andy smirking. >> that's a lot of bragadocio. as a professional political consultant, i look at trends and i've seen him trending down, whereas i see marco rubio trending up. i would predict here today that ted cruz is likely to lose the state of texas and the are the is this is going to be a two-person race. the reality is for the last 24 hours anyone's been talking about is donald trump and marco rubio and i think we saw last night in marco rubio's performance that he's the first candidate that can actually take the fight to donald trump in any meaningful way. not only can he throw a punch, he can take a punch. he's been on -- putting donald trump on his heels. i think donald trump needed to get chris christie on board to help him. >> andy, you have left than 30 seconds left. >> okay. there are only

decided to go with marco rubio tonight. jeb bush, john kasich, chris christie a mature they's wedding sitting in hampshire knowing how well the rubio just did? it? another one, totally fascinating story, a year ago we would have said we have two sitting governors one former governor all accomplish people accomplished people come okay and john kasich their bill rating of 63 percent, very high. we would have said these people, well they are governors and people like to vote for governors. we have jeb bush 2.8 percent, john kasich 8.9 and governor christieabsolutely nowhere in iowa a betting on new hampshire, opening on new hampshire but the problem is here comes marco rubio. fresh. the thing i heard you say repeatedly about marco rubio, he exudes positive five that you to as opposed to the anchors that we have seen coming from particularly trump campaign and sanders campaign. though, you know there is something to be said the peeling to the angels of james madison. people still want them but are they upset and angry, absolute

it was a strong speech by marco rubio. the reason he is getting so much attention is the des moines poll, he did ten points better than anybody expected him to going into last night. i want to show everybody a little more in case they didn't stay up late of his speech when he came out to talk to supporters. >> this is no ordinary election, 2016 is not just a choice between 3 to political parties, but it is a referendum. it is a referendum on the identity as a nation and the people. america there are two ways forward for us, we can be greater than we have never been. martha: that is not the option you wants to see. what do you see in what happened last night. >> they don't build a statutes, the front runner nationally and in new hampshire ted cruz deserves credit for pulling victory in iowa. he needed to win their more than a conservative in the race. there is a grouping of candidate in new hampshire bunch that together, ted cruz and john kasich and chris christie, has an opportunity to emerge as the main challenge to donal

leave marco rubio alone. where do you stand on that? >> well, listen, trump is the front-runner. i think you have to go at him. wasn't good enough for marco rubio to beat jeb bush. we're not playing for second place. i think now is the time to play for first and so i think that's where you have to train the fire. >> todd gillman, last night, we saw what could be a preview for marco rubio. one of the big questions this entire campaign has been will marco rubio ever take on trump? last night, he did. he actually named trump by name, went after him on his statements on israel. said he would be neutral towards israel and the palestinian authority when he becomes president and marco rubio says that's a bad idea. is that a sign of what's to come tonight? and do you think marco rubio pushes it even further? >> there's no question, for rubio, there are two questions to go after trump. one is because he has to beat trump. and the other is because he needs to stop focusing on ted cruz because he needs to establish hims

so, that could be a huge benefit for marco rubio. he believes now that bush is out, he can consol date the support, people center right. and you have to look after john kasich. the reason he's stalking about trump and cruz. they don't believe he is a viable alternative. they don't believe he has that deep infrastructure that marco rubio does. watch for him to sharpen the contrast increasingly with ted cruz and with donald trump. >> i don't know whether they believe it or not but they certainly don't want him to be a viable alternative and don't want to include him in the math. i think that is clear. thanks so much. >> let's focus in on this because again we're waiting to find out who is the winner in the race for sengd placond plac south carolina. for more, let's bring in a communications director for ted cruz. we're waiting -- great to see you. there is a thousand point difference right now. what are you looking at? what are you watching at this moment? >> well, we're excited to go forward, we came in third in a blue state and now w

marco rubio was talking about taking it to the convention. it is like everyone keeps trying to extend their firewall more and more. no one can really believe that donald trump will be the nominee. they are all setting up scenarios where maybe i'll get it this way or that way. no one can come to terms with the fact that donald trump might roll through super tuesday. they all kind of have a strategy that they think is somewhat plausible. >> it is the second stage of grief. it's called denial. >> none of those strategies include actual wins. that's the problem. >> the problem is when you get into a room with donors, which is where this brokered convention idea was brought up, the first question out of their mouth is what is your path to victory? if you get to march 15th without a win in a single state, you have to come out of the box. you talked about cruz in texas and kasich in ohio, marco in florida. the timing is important. for cruz, it comes on tuesday. he will get a bump on that. kasich and marco have to wait another 15 days. >> if they win

marco rubio is still in the game after what happened tonight. he told the crowd in columbia, to him, south carolina the place of new beginnings. certainly for marco rubio, a fresh start. tim waller, wyff news 4 live and claudia. carol: looks like they are loading up the chairs and cleaning up the fourth. the second-place slot is still cruz saw a large crowd at a south carolina state programs. that is where we find nigel robertson live in columbia. nigel? nigel: guys, this was not the night ted cruz was hoping for//he even told the crowd he did not know if it was going to be a second-place finish or a third-place finish. in the end, he finished in third place. but in front of a very large and energetic crowd. ted cruz to listen supporters that this race is far from over. he says he will win the be the democrats in november. he said "we are the only campaign that has beaten and can beat donald trump." it couldn't be done. and we won. [cheering] [applause] they said a bible believing conservative could not compete. and we the five expectations. --

between ted cruz and marco rubio. so we took a deep dive into the numbers to see sort of where are their strengths, where are cruz and rubio, obviously not as strong as trump tonight. where are their strengths and that might inform us how they plan to message and build their campaigns going forward from here. so take a look at this. among republican voters who say i need a candidate who shares my values, that is where ted cruz wins. 36% of those voters to rubio's 26%. carson has got 11%. and bush down at 10%. and they make up 37% of the electorate. electability is a marco rubio strength. those voters that want a candidate who can win in november big-time. by 30 points. rubio wins 49%. trump 19%. cruz 19%. kasich 6%. the problem for marco rubio there, only 15% of the electorate is looking for the candidate that can win in november. and then take a look at when people decided. this is fascinating to me. if you look among voters who decided in the last week 30% of them went for rubio. 27% went for cruz. 16% went for trum

fend off marco rubio. his role got more difficult, not easier. when you talk to politicians and other operatives, one thing they were impressed by is how disciplined donald trump was in the concession speech. he complimented ted cruz and mike huckabee. he kept it short and moved on to new hampshire. was donald trump on the campaign trail today? he will hold a campaign rally in new hampshire. will see if he comes out swinging against marco rubio or against ted cruz again. what the tenor of this will be for iowa and new hampshire. one thing we know about donald trump, he is very competitive. he likes to be a winner. i'm sure there is a lot of discussion within the campaign about the fact they cannot lose two in a row. >> the question is, can new hampshire make donald trump the comeback kid? is it even possible for donald trump to be a comeback kid? >> i wonder if there is a change, sara murray, in strategy or tone by donald trump as we head into new hampshire and the states beyond? >> reporter: i think that

let's go to the campaign headquarters of marco rubio. jason, marco rubio told me on sunday they were hoping for a strong showing and maybe a win. it's a state where he spent some of his childhood, but not a good night for him. >> reporter: clearly not the night they wanted, but still they are feeling encouraged by having a strong second place finish. that's what they're hoping for at this point, a strong second place finish. in speaking to one of the campaign operatives here, he tells me they feel as though this is not over for them. he feels if some of the other candidates were to drop before super tuesday, they still feel as though they have a shot as taking some of these states going forward. they obviously recognize at this point that time is becoming of the essence if they're really going to have a significant win going forward, but in terms of tonight they feel as though their ground game was strong. they're waiting for results from clark county, which includes las vegas. it is the most poplus county in the state. still looking for

this man has a marco rubio button. you're not totally committed to marco rubio but you're leaning towards him. why? >> i really like his message, a positive change. the other candidates i've heard yell about change or talk about outlawyering change, but marco seems to bring a real positive message about the change, and he's building a good consensus. i think we need to have consensus in people together if we're really going to change something. we can't just yell, stomp our feet, put in another lawsuit, go from orange to red. we have to have somebody really bringing people together. >> here in nevada, it's shaping up to be a big battle between ted cruz and marco rubio. why don't you like ted cruz? >> i think he liens too mueans the legal stuff. he yells about the law too much. i would rather have adults in the room talking about the issues and have real programs they can bring and actually get voted on and approved. if we bring something we can't get approved, we're right where we are right now. >> a lot of people are

and campaign rally marco rubio made fun of trump's misspelled tweets that were directed at marco rubio trying to major laps. >> how the misspell words so badly? i only reached two conclusions. number one, that is how they spelled those words at the wharton school of business where he went for number 2, just like trump tower he must have hired a foreign worker to do is an tweets. >> reporter: if you had any doubt about last night it is game on between donald trump and marco rubio. >> that is mudslinging like i have never seen. dave: an election like we have never seen. marco rubio responding to the donald's heart attacks and a surprise endorsement from chris christie. >> he is trying to take over the conservative movement even though he is not a conservative. donald needs a lifeline. i have more than my fair share. dave: that heat used since last night, marco rubio is having got his campaign with four days until supertuesday. >> chris christie endorsement month after the new jersey governor singing a different tune about donald trump. >> i don't think he is suited to be president of the

well, let's see what marco rubio did. he says he's got great foreign policy experience because he served on the foreign relations committee. now, he has missed, during his time in the senate, 60% of all the meetings of the foreign relations committee. hey, marco, show up for work for the american people. marco rubio says that he's going to help create jobs. the only person in this race that's created jobs is the guy standing right there, donald trump. how about this, marco rubio says he's going to create jobs, and he's on the small business committee in the senate, and he's missed 85% of the meetings as senator. he's on the commerce committee to create economic activity. he's missed 80% of the meetings of the commerce committee. since he's been in the senate, he's missed 68% of all of the committee meetings he's been assigned to. let me say something clearer, this guy shows up for work every day. he works hard. he's built incredibly successful businesses. and let me tell you, one message to senator rubio, wherever you are

what is interesting about this is the marco rubio/ted cruz contest, because marco rubio has to knock out mr cruz or vice versa. as soon as we begin to get that result, we will bring it to you live here on al jazeera. staying in the states, republican squaring up for a fight against the u.s. president over his refreshed plans as of yesterday to finally close down guantanamo bay. it is an effort to deliver on a pledge he made more than seven years ago. he believes the existence of it undermines america's standing around the world. >> reporter: it was one of his first promises in office, and now u.s. president obama is hoping in his last year he can actually accomplish it. close the controversial detention center at guatemalaned bay cuba. >> are we going to let this linger on? another 15 to 30 years? >> reporter: for all that time dozens of men have been held in limbo. they went on a hunger strike and they were finally fed through a tube. they're going to try to end the location, sending a plan to congress. it is a bit vague, listing 13 sites where the detainees could be held. it would

and marco rubio. perhaps the biggest surprise of the night, though, is just how much we saw the rubio surge play out. he's headed to new hampshire. all eyes turn to new hampshire. a lot to get through. >> we want to bring in chris moody. he's in des moines. let's start with this bizarreo world we are in, at 2:00 a.m. on the east coast, the democratic race, is it over? explain what's happening right now. >> you wouldn't have asked for a more exciting night in iowa, on the democratic side and the republican side. request if you talked to someone several months ago, she would have said, this is hillary clinton's year. she will run away with it. maybe she will get attention from other candidates but not much competition. that's not the case here in iowa. bernie sanders virtually tied with her tonight. surprising, not a lot of people that were watching this close recently. but certainly, a couple of months ago. after the caucus results were rolling in, all of the candidates gave speeches. let's listen to w

the debate stage marco rubio the real marco rubio? >> i think the marco we saw last night, the young dynamic energetic candidate that many people have been waiting to see for a long time. he took the fight to trump which he prosecuted him not just on his flip-flops on policy but his business record as a con man. someone who claims to be for work americans but built his empire on the backs of people who weren't here legally, on projects that resulted in bankruptcies. that is the effective line of attack. he's narrowed at least in the press today this to a two-person race which is what his campaign wants heading into super tuesday. >> alex, when you look at all of this, and you look at all the back and forth and the fact that ben carson and john kasich have not been mentioned once all day. no one is talking to them. there's a lot of talk about some people having to get out of this race, to narrow it down, either before super tuesday or the day after. what do you foresee happening? >> it all goes to the point you made about cruz having b

where will marco rubio stands? ted cruz, this could whittle down the race >>> if we thought the rhetoric was hot, wait until the next 10 days. thanks for being with us. stay with us because coming up next our special election day coverage continues with the democratic caucus in nevada. we will dig deeper into that. hillary clinton wins, but it is bernie sanders who is claiming a victory tonight. we will explain why. nevered ada >>> we talked about the republicans and now we talk about the democrats. they held their caucus and it was a big win for hillary clinton. she once held a double over her rival and she held back a strong challenge from the vermont senator finishing 5 percentage points ahead of him. the numbers at the bottom are the delegates. there is a spread of around five/600 or so. our correspondent has more on a result that clinton hopes to silence some of other doubters. >> here what they call the first in the west contest, the nevada kau caucuses gave hillary clinton what she came form. it allows her t

if he was third below marco rubio. speaking of marco rubio, moving on. he is riding high since he was endorsed by nikki haley on wednesday. they were on the campaign trail today, and holding five rallies. this after scheduling challenges made him stand up to voters at the conservative review conference last night. this was an unforced error that drew fire. he reschedule the event for tonight. there are a lot of highs right now on this young guy, so what constitutes meeting and beating expectations? mark: meeting is beating jeb bush. beating expectations is beating ted cruz, and obviously the big casino, finishing first. people think that he was already writing high before death riding high before the endorsement. --already riding high before the endorsement. anthony have seen this image of nikki haley and marco rubio. my guess is, if he is doing well, he has momentum dominating the news. john: i agree with all that analysis. i will say that meeting expectations will be a problem for him, because the ted cruz campaign will rightly say that marco rubio com

that's where marco rubio comes in. his campaign knows this, they know rubio will be in the cross-hairs. i'm told rubio will be ready to defend himself. he didn't come to new hampshire to attack other republicans, but if he's attacked, he will defend. chris christie keeping the eye on the ball in terms of comparing the differences when it comes to experience. perhaps not in attack mode but in contrast mode as his campaign is drawing that differentiation, so look for him to do what he's been doing since the iowa caucuses, which is look at other candidates' experiences, particularly marco rubio, and perhaps hit him hard there. john kasich, for example, we know he was on the treadmill watching the golf channel. he held a rally here. he is looking to continue to stay positive and continue his message of being a little bit above the fray when it comes to what we're seeing in the back and forth in the establishment lane. finally you've got jeb bush, lawrence, who may be following his mother's advice. we saw barbara bush talki

marco rubio doesn't. and donald trump's record doesn't say that. >> that will have to be the last word on the republican candidates in this block. former senator bob smith, thank you for joining us. great to see you again. coming up, donald trump has not had a strong ground game in new hampshire. everybody says the outcome here is about the ground game. we'll find out on tuesday. and for the first time, bernie sanders has now closed the gap with hillary clinton in a national poll. and right here, later, coming up. we have the most sought after person in new hampshire. we will have a sought after undecided voter right here. ♪ [screaming] ♪ ♪ the bold nissan rogue, with intuitive all wheel drive. because winter needs a hero. now get a $199 per month lease on the 2016 nissan rogue. nissan. innovation that excites. does your mouth often feel dry? multiple medications, a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications. but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene, ava

so is marco rubio. marco rubio is from a different generation, from a different upbringing than jeb bush. he was raised in the streets of las vegas and the streets of west miami, florida. i can tell you that's not a place where you play nice the entire time. i think marco showed last night that he is very capable of handling a punch. very capable of getting under donald trump's skin. i will tell that you donald trump is very savvy. when the narrative was nothing but rubio won the debate. rubio got under donald trump's skin today, donald trump turned it around and threw out the chris christie endorsement and turned around the entire media narrative for the rest of the day. the guy knows how to play the media. he knows how to play the game. i think in marco he will find a. more even match for this back and forth. it is a little sad, i must also say, to see the gop primary deteriorate into a contest where we are talking about sweating, choking, hig and wetting your pants. >> pretty amazing, i must say. rub

and marco rubio. nicole: we have all the latest development and analysis. lauren: the nikkei down another 2.3%, worried about a global slump. nicole: call up arrows, 146 for the dow, 24 diaz and b, they are gaining 1%. lauren: oil prices below $30 a barrel, $20.29 is the quote. nicole: twitter is the stock to watch at an all-time low yesterday, second day in a row, we will tell you what to watch for. lauren: welcome to "fbn a.m.," the latest breaking news and with respect to expect for the day ahead. nicole: bernie sanders wins the primary and the vermont senator be hillary clinton with the support of women and young voters. sanders gets 60%, clinton has 38%. the secretary of state vowing to fight on with more diverse groups. >> now we take his campaign, the entire country, we are going to fight for every vote in every state. we are going to fight the real solutions that make a real difference in people's lives. nicole: on the republican side john kasich with a strong second place finish, 15% support

marco rubio is not a usual name. in this instance if and when trump starts going after marco rubio a again it's going to have less of a backlash effect with his supporters because that's not someone that they had a particular level of affection for previously. so if and when he does start that you could see it tonight at the debate, could start seeing it on the stump here in new hampshire and in south carolina. where we see marco rubio becoming a little bit more competitive with trump in the polls, and that's something that it's going to be interesting to watch and see because immigration is going to be front and center in trump's attack on marco rubio i think, alex. >> very interesting assessment you bring to us. thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> how much of an impact tonight's debate affect the vote and what are the winning issues for bernie sanders in new hampshire that could win him votes across the country? we're now weighing in next. working on my feet all day gave me pain here. in my lower back but now, i s

here's marco rubio's state. marco rubio gets florida and trump comes in second, cruz third, kasich fourth. unless they start taking something else from donald trump, look where trump is now. he's more than halfway. if you're a cruz supporter and you say why do you keep calling my guy third, he would be here and rubio would be there. as long as cruz and rubio and kasich stay in the race, if trump keeps winning, you can run it out. you can go through the month of may. i can take a state or two away from him, but look what's happening. you get to the end and he wins. he's the nominee. the only way to beat him is to start beating him. come in ahead of him. the guys who keep coming in second and third bragging about that, they're going to be at his nomination. >>> outfront tonight, donald trump's campaign manager. good to have you with us tonight. a slew of endorsements today for marco rubio. the mainstream republican party seems to be coalescing and coalescing around marco rubio. does that worry you? >> well, thanks

and marco rubio is about the future. that's the contrast with hillary clinton or bernie sanders for that matter. that will be the winning formula come november. so, no, he's right on policy. he's got the strongest backer out in terms of understanding foreign policy and being on the intel committees. part of that new generation. rock sol id. he's a conservative. he's got a spine. he knows what he believes in. he doesn't need a teleprompter to talk through these. he believes them to his core. >> the criticism that you heard from chris christie, doesn't need a teleprompter because he memorizes these 25-second sound bites. some are suggesting, and it may be unfair that because those are going to be replayed and replayed and replayed, those sound bites from the debate, could be a rick perry oops moment for him. you've heard that presumably as well. >> no, he didn't say anything wrong. he actually said what he believes, that's barack obama knows exactly what he's doing. and marco rubio has been talking about that for more than

then there's marco rubio. the gop establishment rallying behind him even though he is yet to win a single state. his campaign is preparing for a brokered convention. trump is fighting with two people who won't actually be on the stage tonight. last debate it was the pope. this time it is former mexican president vicente fox. >> i'm not going to pay for that [ bleep ] wall. he should pay for it. he's got the money. >> trump's response on twitter, vicente fox horribly used the f-word when discussing the wall. if i did there, there would probably be an uproar. that's probably true. romney claimed there would be a, quote, bombshell, in trump's tax returns. there's a lot to get to tonight. first i want to get to jim acosta. this battle with the former mexican president just breaking late today when he is using the f-word to talk about whether mexico will pay for the wall. what do you think trump will be talking about tonight? >> he is asked about it, erin. i think he'll engage. this is not an endorsement coming fro

marco rubio is in a great place. he has shown extraordinary resilience coming back after new hampshire. his head seems to be in a good place. he is not overconfident, but quite confident. i think donald trump is annoyed. what impresses me about these guys is that they are rested. unlike bernie sanders and hillary clinton, fighting bad cold, these guys seemed pretty well rested. that seems to be putting their two heads in a good place. john: i agree with that. both of those guys are in a good place. one thing that benefits rubio is the sense of being a comeback kid. natalie wood voters see as resilience -- not only what voters see as resilience. trump is working hard in this state. you get a sense from all of his media appearances that he is not running scared or desperate. he feels strong. he can sense that victory is within his grasp. re do you think cr -- whe you think cruz' head is at now? mark: he is annoyed at defending these attacks. he is being called a liar for doing things that are aggressive politics. almos

rubio little marco. sort of setting the tone for donald trump when he gets out here in a few moments. but one interesting thin that i think we have to take note of, ashleigh, and that is over the weekend donald trump thought it was necessary to respond to some of these attacks from marco rubio. i was with him in arkansas. he was talking about his defense of trump university, the lawsuits that are now facing his organization because of this school that he was running to teach people the model -- the trump model of success. he felt it necessary to talk about that. also felt it was necessary to talk about the money he received from his father growing up. marco rubio says it was a $200 million inheritance. donald trump is saying, no, it was just a $1 million loan and i paid it back. those are other things you may hear during this speech. not because donald trump is worried about marco rubio of saying it again and again, it's because it is sort of setting and laying the groundwork for the general election cam
