donald trump two big wins in south carolina. if you look at the betting markets right now, it has his odds for the nomination about even with marco rubio, why? >> we're in a unique situation right now. instead of coalescing around the front-runner they're trying to go against the front-runner. they have made two bad assumptions during this race. first, they assumed that donald trump has a ceiling he can't get above the ceiling. a assumption that's going to be broken in the next week or two. the momentum as win, you gain the ceiling. the early 1900s in football, when you bet on the running game and knute rockne shows up with the forward pass. donald trump has invebted the forward pass here. donald trump it seems the only way they can stop him is with a contested convention. it doesn't seem like they have a plan for somebody else to win. >> he has four opponents right now. >> meantime that path for hillary clinton with south carolina and super tuesday coming up, she can build up a huge lead. >> i think it's get very difficult if b

, political state of south carolina. i think though he won, it's an accumulative effect that could be problematic in the long haul. >> so the teflon could wear off. >> could wear off. endorse. how important is that? and does rubio's path to the nomination look viable to you? >> i think the mitt romney thing is a good thing for marco rubio. it accumulates the establishment in his lane. he wants to build up enough so that basically he can become a one-on-one race with donald trump. the problem is ted cruz is still in this. he's doing ver well, especially among evangelicals and social conservatives. i think marco rubio has a good path. but where does he win? he's finished third, fifth, and second. he's not had a victory. it's open. it will be difficult for him to demonstrate what's the first state he wins in? >> does the jeb bush development, a poignant scene overnight, does jeb bush bowing out, does that possibly help marco rubio? do his voters and funders go to rubio? >> his funders automatically go to rubio. the establis

he still has a pretty big lead in your state, can he be stopped in south carolina? >> he become the michael moore candidate of the republican party. at the end of the day, i don't know what's going to happen here. jeb is definitely surging. donald trump will not win the nomination. if you want to get a replacement for justice scalia, nominate a conservative -- nominate someone can win. rat votes. what he said abouteorge w. bush is michael moore stuff. i think that will bite him here. he's unfit to be president of the united states. if we nominate donald trump we're giving not only the supreme court nominations to the democrats but control of the government. >> you would still support him? >> i got to really re-evaluate after what he said about george w. bush. the mainstream democratic party opposition of george w. bush, didn't go where donald trump went. being responsible for 9/11 that's something that comes from the part of america. >>> we're just five days away which could be a critical moment for many of the campaigns and this morning the battle over the supreme

senator from south carolina. he got booed by the audience. if donald trump wins south carolina after all that, i think it's very difficult to stop him. if he's able to wiwisouth carolina in the midst of all that. >> right. but this is a guy who has shown over and over again that the normal rules of politics don't apply to him. that said, is there anybody you think came out well last night? jeb bush? marco rubio? kasich? >> well, i think, to me, i had two sort of folks that i thought were winners in the course of it. i think john kasich did. the fight. tried to stay above it all. and i think he's gotten a lift from his second place finish in new hampshire. i thought he did well. i thought marco rubio, after his last awfululebate performance, where he got attacked by chris christie, i thought he came back and did well. i thought jeb did fine. if i were picking two people i thought won, it would be john kasich and marco rubio. >> thank you, matt. >>> we want to remind you george has a big show this morning on "this week ts" with guests marco rub

how does the race stand right now in south carolina? >> reporter: well, we've had no reliable polling since a week before the iowa caucuses. but donald trump had led every poll here in south carolina october. very much. >> probably not. thank you. >> all the polls in new hampshire, as well. let's get more from our polititil analyst matthew dowd. matthew, very different terrain from iowa and manchester, new hampshire and that has vicious politics. >> it gets nasty and negative fast. it has aspects of iowa and new hampshire. first it's an open primary. that means democrat, independents and republicans can vote in it like new hampshire. but it also has the higigst to iowa but one of the differences in the evangelicals in south carolina is they're not driven to the polls by social issues but establishment conservative issues and so when you look at all the panorama of this and also is, south carolina is going to have twice as many liberal and moderate voters as iowa, so when you look at it, you give advantage, donald trump, when you go into

he's already in south carolina, charleston, south carolina, this morning. governor kasich, congratulations. 106 town meetings in new hampshire. is that what made the difference? >> george, i think that helped and it was a great grassroots organization and then onto of it was the message which is, you know, we're americans before we're republicans and democrats. and we need to grow our economy which i've been able to do both in washington and in ohio and when we do that, we make sure we leave no one behind and the mentally ill, the drug addicted, working poor, everybody has a right to rise in america and restore the spirit of this country. that's really what it's all about, george, and, you know, it's really funny, as you and i talked yesterday, the light really did overcome the darkness. i had so many millions of ads out of there with a strong second and it's remarkable and feels great. >> our pollsters are going through the results calling you the anti-trump. you were the candidate of experience. he's the outsider. you had that hopeful message. he's taking

john kasich looks like he'll go on to south carolina and then somebody else. i think you'll have some that will stay in the race but this now looks like it'll go into south carolina a five-person race instead of a four or three-person race. >> it could go on for months. >> into april and may for sure. >> same thing on the democratic side. hillary clinton coming into the vote today well behind bernie sanders. she was behind barack obama i eight years ago. managed to win. that's unlikely this time. >> last time around, george, she was able to make up the difference with unmarried women in the closing days of the campaign. this time her campaign is really focused on making sure that she can reconnect with those women and try to close the generation gap. if she's able to do that she'll end up losing but gracefully. >> meantime, there is some talk about a campaign shake-up on the clinton side. >> i talked to a lot of people last night. let me tell you, george, it's very demoralizing to put that statement out before the big day but john podesta pushed back and said
