you have the people speaking up to say they don't want washington to pick their candidates. they want a say. on the democratic side, bernie sanders has shown the people matter and the people can speak up and change the democratic establishment. hopefully that change is going forward and republicans elect someone sane. >> marco rubio won expectations. big win for ted cruz. can he keep that momentum in new hampshire? i'm not sure. hillary clinton may have won, but it would have been groundhog day all over for her in iowa although she won a tiny bit. donald trump is a loser today. >> maria. >> hillary clinton wins becoming the first woman to ever win an iowa caucus. bernie sanders did great. also a win. the democratic party wins. they are focusing on the issues that all americans care about. compared to republicans who will nominate somebody who is anti-woman or anti-latino. >> all right. ben. go. >> i'll say this. donald trump proves arrogance and cockiness does not win you the white house. ted cruz did better than anyone thought. marco rubio is a guy that has a little mo comi

we need that in washington, d.c. we need a balanced amendment in washington. i know how to do this because i did it as governor in florida. the reason we had reserves that were high was i had line item veto power, and i used it. 2500 separate times. enoe.called me veto corl corleone. legislators put line items in thembudget, and we called turkeys for some reason in florida. i would take that out of the budget and there was a sigh of i tried touse i said get it done, but the governor was the guy that did not let it happen. i would love to take that responsibility in washington. the next president should have power, to bring order and discipline to the budget. we did something no other state did, and now a few have done it. we eliminated lifetime employment protections for government is. but to makenitive, the point that government is the servant, not the master, of people. how can you be a servant if you have lifetime protections the matter what you do? we change that in florida. the government run is reduced by 13,000 workers. no one came close to that. we did

we drive up every summer to washington. it's always about the halfway point of that drive. we always stop and spend time here and money here, too, and we love being here. i have learned a lot about south carolina. i learned quickly, do not pick sides between usc and clemson. i have learned that the citadel is the finest military college in the world. and we learned what an inspiration south carolina is. you had a tough year, between floods and tragedies. any other state, any other community, would have reacted differently. but this state came together in a way that served as an example to the nation. for someone that doesn't live here, how moved and inspired the nation was when families of people who lost loved ones in a tragedy. they forgave the killer. it was not, it was about living out our faith. it was about living out our values. south carolina taught that to the country this year. it has been so rewarding to spend the last 10 days here, working alongside many wonderful people on our team. governor haley talked about the decision her parents made to come here. it was

on the one hand he is not a washington outsider whatsoever. that is the question we will see moving forward here, whether some of these newer politicians can make the most of their newfound support. host: in terms of moving forward , there may be some candidates who don't move forward. the lead editorial in "the new york times," the winnowing out of the candidates. continue ify not to they don't meet expectations or exceed them tonight in new hampshire? guest: the new york times endorsed john kasich and kasich has said if he does not do really well in new hampshire his campaign may be over. he, my chris christie and donald trump and others already have a public schedule out for south carolina and other stuffs around the country. they are maybe trying to telegraph that they are moving on from new hampshire one way or the other. host: beth is in north carolina, line for republicans. good morning. are you there? caller: yes i am. i am trying to get in to the conversation on tv. evidently i have been put through, is the c-span radio? host: you are

when you cut taxes by $5 billion and you grow over 400,000 jobs, that is a record that i can take to washington. >> if you add it up, kasich, bush, christie, put carly fiorina in there, even though she's an outside establishment voters, and marco rubio, donald trump would be in the rear-view mirror. but you have this cluster. >> and for kasich, the question is -- he may do well here, but where is he going to do well afterwards? it's hard to see him doing well in south carolina or the super tuesday states. and he does not have the kind of organization that he's built that could actually compete for a national campaign. that is the one thing that jeb does have going for him, while he has burned through a lot of money -- >> it's why ted cruz's campaign is quietly cheering for jeb bush. the ultimate representative of the establishment. but cruz's folks are cheering for jeb here in new hampshire because they want jeb, and more importantly, they want jeb's super pac to keep going to south carolina and keeping its fire on marco. >> we know there are a lot of evangelical tea party members in the south.

and as we wait for the house, more about the iowa caucuses from this morning's washington journal. get ready to cauc catherine lucey joins us. let's begin with this poll from the des moines register some of the bloomberg political poll. donald trump is on top was 28%, followed by senator ted cruz at 23%, which slipped a little bit. senator marco rubio follows with 15%. dr. ben carson at 10%. withing it out, rand paul 5%. chris christie with 3%. the others with 2% or less. catherine lucey, what are your predictions for tonight on the republican side? guest: i think we have all learned not to make too many predictions for it obviously, donald trump has remained a leader for a very long time. looking into this pretty good, and ted cruz has lost some ground. i think the big questions we're waiting to see is the difference here between organization and momentum. donald trump has a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of excitement. there are a lot of people at his rallies who say they have never caucused before. ted cruz has invested heavily in a very strong traditional organization to turn people

let's go back to wolf in washington. >> our political directors, you are looking at all the numbers. who showed up and what they won. >> he asked the voters as they showed up, what are you looking for in a candidate quality. this will help explain to everyone watching why ted cruz is where he is. take a look at this. among the voters that said i am looking for a candidate who shares my values, ted cruz is demolishing the field. 37% for cruz and 21% for rubio and 16% for carson and 7% for paul. that is 41% of the republican electorate. that was an important quality. when we asked about the quality of someone who can win, the electability question. rubio and 25% for trump and 22% for cruz and 2% for carly fiorina. not as many caucus goers looking for electability as for someone who shares their values. this quality, telling it like it is, that is the donald trump thing. that is what he is campaigning on. 67% of voters looking for a candidate who said i want someone who tells it like it is. only 15% of the republican caucus going electorate is looking for that quality. with four oust te

king marched on washington unafraid to challenge the status quo to end racial profiling, take on police misconduct and take down a system that profits from mass imprisonment. >> there is no president who will fight harder to end institutional racism. >> this, to me, is the defining test of this race. because of where the calendar goes next. where you have either majorities or high pluralities of african-americans in the democratic electorate. if bernie sanders can break through and get a sizeable number, that means a longer race and a changed race. >> and the place to look when we get numbers out of south carolina is younger african-americans because the big question is going to be whether younger african-americans vote their race or their age. younger people have flocked to bernie sanders. and why wouldn't a younger african-american connect with his message the way a younger white person would? that's the argument that the sanders campaign is making. >> that's why you see people in the congressional black caucus come out and more aggressively support hillary clinton as they did last we

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

i don't live in washington d.c. i live in wisconsin so i'm very close to i think what the average, every day republican primary voter looks like and thinks about and i think that there was never an appetite for jeb bush from the beginning. it was -- the idea was that, you know, it sounded good on paper and looked good in a big play book that they put together and they thought they could just really raise a lot of money and create an appetite for it. i think the good news for america sadly for jeb bush is that this proves that money does not buy elections. he had more money than god and he could not convince more than 6% of whatever primary he was in to vote for him. so i think in a sense we can all be happy that elections cannot be bought in the united states. they're really the voice of the people that have to be listened to and i would say from the beginning that there never was on the ground in the base in the grass roots an appetite for a jeb bush campaign. >> we have to leave it right there. thanks so much to b

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

he has defined what he thinks is the wrong approach by washington and then he's offered what he believes is a rather simple remedies. that is something that's really resonating right now. >> but a lot of people in the beginning didn't believe that he could do it. >> that all of these people misjudged the pundits pm they misjudged the anger of the american people. >> they really shouldn't have because the three people who are the frontrunners right now, marco rubio in 2010, ted cruz in 2012 and donald trump in 2015. what do they have in common? they're the outsiders. and they have close to 60 and 70% in some places. and marco rubio now wears the establishment proudly. and the idea you can beat trump from the left, senator rubio himself was asked tell us which state you'll win and he said i'll win florida on march 15th. ladies and gentlemen, by march 15th, 50% of the delegates will have voted. he's skipping the first four contests 0-4, he's not going to win anything on super tuesday, according to mr. rub io himself and he may win florida. i think cruz has a much better chance of winning te

i know a lot of politicians in washington. good guys and bad guys. i know liars in washington. but i will tell you, i know ted cruz. he is not a liar. his honesty is impeccable. his integrity is unshakable. and the last thing, you cannot beat a democrat with a democrat. if you think you are going to beat hillary clinton with somebody else who is for amnesty , because while ted cruz was saying we've got to build a wall, while ted cruz was saying you are not doing the gang of eight bill, donald trump was meeting with dreamers. donald trump was telling mitt romney he is too tough on mexico. he is saying these things now to get elected. but between planned parenthood and all the other things he's said he's going to do, you cannot beat a democrat with a democrat. he will lose in the general. for the first time since 1920, we have a true constitutionalist, somebody who will stand on that constitution, for the first time since 1920. if we don't forget our principles, if we as conservatives all across america realize this guy means what he says and says what he means, this guy is quite

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

establishment and the washington cartel. a candidate who has been dismissed outright by the media, some polls had him 15 to 20 points behind, but you refused to let the establishment and the cartel and the media do your thinking for you, you refused to let them tell you how to vote. you wanted a candidate who didn't adopt his positions because of the latest opinion polls. but instead because of a deep and underlying conservative philosophy that grounded him so that he knew exactly what he believed, exactly what the principles were that built this reat nation. so tonight i want to say to the people of new hampshire, thank you for what you did 36 years ago. thank you for giving america and the world, and, yes, history itself, our 40th president of the united states, ronald wilson eagan. and i ask the people of new hampshire and the people of south carolina and the people of nevada and the people of the super tuesday states on march 1, to each of you do not listen to our words. do not listen to the rhetoric from campaigns, but

money and the stamina and the fact that you have ted cruz who is not liked by the establishment in washington. you have donald trump who if you add them both together you have over 50% of the vote. not liked by them. how much money do you think goes to marco rubio after today? >> well, i think that is the big decision that establishment candidates or the establishment part of the republican party, the centrist part, if you will, however you want to call it, they have to make a decision if they really want to put their power behind somebody like marco rubio. because if not, then, you know, we're sitting here talking about scenarios for ted cruz to go on longer. for marco rubio to go on longer. i talked about how donald trump is leading in every single other poll and every single other state outside of iowa. that is why those kinds of scenarios, if people don't start getting out and getting out fast and consolidating behind one or two candidates other than trump, i still think trump can actually trump everybody else moving forward. >> and when we come back we'll talk about much more in a second

. >> the washington cartel in full terror that the conservative grass roots are rising up. >> we won. we won. >>> of course plenty to cheer about for trump supporters after winning the south carolina primary with 32.5% of the vote, trump is now the unrivalled front runner among the republican candidates. marco rubio edging out second place over ted cruz. >> well for the democrat, a crucial win for hillary clinton, blunting that rise of bernie sanders, a so called nevada firewall held up, helping to ease anxiety among her supporters. more in a moment but we're going to start with donald trump's commanding victory in south carolina. and the now shrinking republican field. cnn's senior political reporter manu raju joins us from south carolina. the trump campaign must be motivated ae but move to the south on march 1st. >> a very encouraging victory here. this is ha man who has never run for office before. and taking two of the first three primary states is such a resounding manner really gives him a head of steam into nevada where he's a heavy favorite to win the caucuses there on tuesday

. >> cnn washington correspondent, joe johns. i think i heard your voice in that room, joe. what was he doing the morning after the cnn town hall? >> reporter: well, for one thing i think he was just making his appearance felt here in south carolina. there has been this running narrative in the pall meadow state that bernie sanders has been writing off south carolina because hillary clinton has such a big lead in the polls and that has been sort of spurred by her strong support in the african american community. sanders, this morning saying he has not been writing off south carolina but also tipping his hat to the idea that he might have to worry about doing better in some other states. listen. >> we came to south carolina and if you look at the polls we were like 7, 8, 9% in the ebolapolls. we were 60/70 points behind. we have picked up a lot of support and closed the gap very significantly. but this from day one was going to be a very difficult state for us. we're not writing off south carolina. >> so, if you look at his schedule, it tells a slightly different story. after

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

good.no who wants to have a bureaucrat in washington taking care and educating your kids. you want local education. i have seen it and i've watched it and it is beautiful. parents and children. the children graduate and they stay in the boards because they love the school. be at a point where we can spend less money and have a far stronger and better country. i look at military spending. build aig -- i will military bigger, better, stronger. i guarantee we can do it for less money. like they are ordering missiles they do not want because of politics, because of special interests. because the company that makes the missiles is a contributor and the other company that makes the missiles are not. we are ordering missiles that the generals do not want because of politics. here is the beauty. they come to me and they say we would like you to use such and such a company because we have helped your friends. i don't care. i have no friends as far as i am concerned. you know what? you are my friends. think self funding is big. i am the only one that is self funding. democrat or rep

he went to washington being a supporter of term limits in washington. he became a firm supporter of term limits not only for members of congress but also for justices on the supreme court. it is good to have a healthy turnover and new talent coming forward. part of the solution here lies in us, the voters. there is a tendency for us not to look past pandering. we have candidates at say i'm against the lyrical correctness -- political correctness and think the alternative they want to show people's insult and obscenity's rather than saying politically correction allows even republican -- or compels even republican candidates to say that they want young women to be drafted into the military. we saw that during the debate on saturday. that was nothing more than political correction rather than thoughtful analysis of a change that would be bad for america. we have to be a lot more sophisticated. we can't have a bernie sanders that says things are bad so therefore i will to take from others and give to you. we have to ask ourselves, what caused this. what in

and there's a lot of frustration about the idea that washington is not listening to people and their every dave concerns. donald trump's candidacy for many of these voters has become a vehicle for those frustrations. and he has talked about it, whether it's been about the economy, whether it's been about immigration, whether it's national security. he has not offered real substantive positions, but instead he has offered clarity. he has defined what he thinks is the wrong approach by washington and offered really simple recommend dips. >> a lot of people in the beginning didn't believe he could it it, that he to have more substance, that the people in the republican party misjudged the anger of the people. >> and they really shouldn't have. >> absolutely. >> go ahead, kellyanne. >> they really shouldn't have because the three people who are the front-runners, marco rubio in 2010, ted cruz in 2012 and donald trump in 2015, what do they all have in common? they were the outsiders challenging the establishment. so cruz and trump are still doing that as the outsiders and they have a coal

the people in washington are public servants. we haven't had enough of that. donald trump welcoming you to one of the greatest cities in the whole world. maybe more phd's per capita than any place in the country. people all over the world are investing here in hiring people. i am proud to have you with us. [applause] donald trump: that is so great. he is an incredible guy. thank you, get him out of here will you. [applause] never fails. the cameras follow that and they know how many people are here. take a look. unbelievable. [applause] 32,000 people. we can get them all in. fire department, let them in. got thousands of people over there. all right. that is the first time that senator sessions does ever endorsed a person running for president. that could be a big deal. we've had some interesting times. this isn't me, i am just a messenger. this is a movement. we're going to take our country back. time whennever been a we've made silly decisions and min so wrong. our borders like swiss cheese. we're going to make our country so great. competent. to be so you w

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

all of washington preparing to do battle over the supreme court. what will all of this mean in novemb november? we'll talk about politics with hue hue et. a veteran of the white house council, council office who also served two attorneys general. my goodness! i've gotten that out. i'm also very jealous you're in california this evening. hue straight to it. valentine's weekend is over. no love lost between cruz and trump. here's what happened on saturday night. look at this. >> this guy will say anything. nasty guy. i know why he doesn't have one endorsement from any of miss colleagues. >> pick from the buffet there. >> it is fairly remarkable to see donald defending ben after he compared him to a child molester. donald has a weird pattern. when you point to his own record he screams "liar, liar" liar." >> was it me or do you think saturday night was nastier than before? new high new low? >> new level of intensity. i will say this. three polls came out today allegedly taken on sunday, a bad polling day, but nevertheless, the day after the debate. do

sometimes they give out the worst week in washington awards. you can argue that ted cruz is up for that this week. he was battered by both sides on this dishonest city issue and had to fire a staffer. it turned out to be completely wrong and he finishes a third most likely and gives this tired deflated speech about moving on to super tuesday. >> you did not hear from marco rubio last night. he left. he was out campaigning. getting a good night's rest so he'll be on tv this morning trying to tout what looks to be a number two position in nevada. the five remains will meet head to head in the next gop debate. that's tomorrow night in houston, texas. it will be only on cnn. >>> there was another big cnn event. they made their final pick to voters just a few days before their primary. cnn town hall event. we saw some new strategies, new line. a new campaign direction. wheel break it down next. the future belongs to the fast. and to help you accelerate, we've created a new company... one totally focused on what's next for your business. the true par

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

, washington despised ronald reagan. do you want to know which candidate will take on washington? just ask the simple question, who is washington attacking? revolution came from the american people, and it turned this country around. why am i so optimistic? because the same thing is happening again. all across this country people are waking up. nevada has aou, powerful voice in that process. away from thes nevada caucuses. tomorrow night nevada has a voice. historically not that many people come out. last cycle 32,000 people came to the caucus. everyone of you has a voice where you are speaking for ifdreds, if not house and's, not millions of courageous conservatives across this country when you come out tomorrow night and cast your votes. and so if you agree with me that it is now or never, that the stakes have never been higher, that we are standing at the edge of a cliff staring down, and if we keep going the same direction , we risk doing irreparable damage to the greatest country in the history of the world. and i w

because all the money in washington and all the lobbyists in washington wanted amnesty. if you look at the special interest, amnesty, they it's its great, it's cheap labor. and, by the way, the way we won these fights is that i stood up and tried to shine a light on them, shine attention on them and empower the american people. rubio/schumer amnesty passed. it was headed to the house it pass. john boehner intended to take it up, pass it with all the democrats and a handful of republicans, roll over about 200 house republicans. and i stood with jeff sessions and steve king and we took the case to the american people and what happened is millions of american people rose up, lit up the phones to congress and said don't do this and we dedee feated the rubio/schumer amnesty bill in the house. in the world of washington, that's considered unlikable. when republican leadership -- i wrote a book last year called "a time for truth "oup. the opening chapter desights the inside story whachd on the debt ceiling, where republican leadership wanted to make it easier for harry reid to

typical politician. 70% of voters voted for an outsider candidate or someone who has never been in washington. they're tired of politicians. jeb bush says he's tired of politics too, but he's the stereotypical politician, so it's a confusing ad. >> do you think that was effective? >> i think it was very effective. one of the very best i've seen. this has nothing to do with political correctness. what donald trump said about john mccain and p.o.w.s, that's what turned me at that moment. i think this man is unfit. i think he's going to win new hampshire because there isn't enough time to cut into his lead. they're all fighting for second place. but frankly, that stuff isn't going to sell anymore now that voters are looking at these candidates more carefully and more closely. i think the ad is very effective and could cause some problems for donald trump. >> i'm wondering if you're looking at the outcome of iowa -- you saw that ad with jeb bush. the other candidates are saying hey, maybe we can slay the dragon. is it going to make a dent in donald trump's armor? >> the reason the result in iowa

up is the democratic line, washington, d.c. you are on the air. to doug fromon battle creek, michigan, on the republican line. hi, how are you doing, great to be on your show. i have been in politics before i was able to vote. one of the first presidents of the hand of was richard milhouse next and. nixon. - that my dad was going to vote for him and i said i think my dad is a democrat. he gave me a sour look but i still like the guy. family, we have spent, indian, american indian, and we have filipino all mixed together so we were never raised in any sort of -- with any sort of racial views toward other people. to detroitoduced us which was a melting pot. you have the jewish culture there you have to know a few .ebrew words to say shalom and the type of thing he grew up with and to us was to be sympathetic, understanding, and open-minded and what is going on around you. was that no one is right just because of their race. i consider myself a republican. i was told i am an eisenhower republican a long time ago. then i was told i was a moderate repu

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

they marched on washington. they sat in. and we made huge breakthroughs. but it happened not because of somebody on top. it happened because millions of people essentially said, enough is enough. what about the women's movement? 100, 150 years ago, women said sorry, we are not going to be treated as third-class citizens. we are going to do the work we want to do. [applause] we are going to be able to vote, to run for political office. huge, terrible, enormous struggles. but women as a result of those made enormous progress. the environmental movement didn't happen in washington. by some senator introducing legislation. 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. and you think about something like gay rights. if we were sitting here 10 years ago, and somebody said i think in 2015, gay marriage will be legal in 50 states, the person next to him would have said what are you smoking? which raises another issue. [laughter] but the point is, when people at the grassroots start movi
