depending what is most important to them. >> helps explain why it's so close between bernie sanders and hillary clinton in these caucuses. let's go back to jay. >> indeed. thoughs are fascinating numbers. michael, if you were going to go to a laboratory and design a candidate who is perceived as being honest and trustworthy and caring about people, like the average voter, you might come up with a guy like bernie sanders and then in the same breath if you go and come up with somebody who has the right experience and perceived as being electable, you might come up with hillary clinton. >> what i found significant thus far recognizing all of how early and so forth it is, winning seems least valued by these voters among those four categories. i think that bodes purely for her. >> it's interesting, why would electability be not as important as some of these others? >> i think it's the passion argument that michael was making earlier. bernie sanders is all about passion and these people are not thinking about electability right now. i don't think. and i think that the interesting thing about

could get to the point where bernie sanders beats hillary clinton. >> the excitement and expectation is growing in bernie sanders camp. they have a large number. still the report, bernie sanders has been beating hillary clinton among voters, he will likely pick up a couple of precincts and aims enough to put him over the top. we see that as 632 to 628. at best, hillary clinton may be able to say she got a draw. but it's looking like a possibility she may end up losing. and to come out of iowa and head to new hampshire after lose, a lot of people will take note of bernie sanders and say "who is this guy? what is he about?" that's not the scenario that hillary clinton want. >> the other side of the equation is bernie sanders would do well, and the turn out turned out to be close. also expected was donald trump would win with huge turn out. which there was, but instead he did not do well. >> he did not do well. the entire election we have been shocked and awed at every turn by what happened. i would point to as well the polls, predicting the latest register polls, the gold standard that

-american vote for democrats. >> reporter: what do you think it means for bernie sanders? >> it is hard for him now to break into that sector. they're the bed rock for the democratic party. if he can't win that, he can't win the ultimate election. >> reporter: voters will be prominent. >> states with large communities, arkansaw, georgia and virginia, again he has to find some way to break into that in order no have a chance to get the nomination. >> reporter: some people have said that maybe there was an enthusiasm [indistinct] gap. >> i don't get into that gap. this was a different race from 2008. perfect example, april of 2007 we are [indistinct] i worry about the gaps when we're facing donald trump in the fall. >> reporter: thank you for tha . >>> did you pick up on that? he said that they face donald trump in the fall. let's bring in ali velshi to talk about this. it's interesting after hillary clinton won nevada she was speaking directly to south carolina voters. i'm sure you heard what i did. she said tomorrow the campaign goes national and so many of the bullet points she ma

shellacking tonight, maybe 40 points, potentially 50 points ahead of bernie sanders in south carolina, recalling that eight years ago was very different for hillary clinton in south carolina. then senator barack obama won by 28 points. that was considered a landslide. she will have a much bigger landslide tonight in south carolina over bernie sanders. she just delivered her remarks. and there was a not so veiled reference to donald trump. she said despite what you hear, we don't need to make america great again. america has never stopped being great. but we do need to make america whole again. jake tapper, not so subtle in terms of a reference to donald trump. and she also at the very end she cited first corinthians. not one corinthians. >> right. donald trump having once said two corinthians instead of second corinthians. this is the first time i've heard her talk about corporate responsibility. it's a way of talking about the business world that is different than bernie sanders. it's a way of offering a general election pitch, really. i mean, she is talking about holding businesses

marco rubio at 10%. and now we're looking at hillary clinton and bernie sanders, the democratic primary. persony sanders ahead 51% to 40%. early numbers here. these are pictures that donald trump's headquarters. if the polls are right this is a very happy crowd tonight. it's not just about the wins and loses, but strong third or second place. ali velshi is in manchester tonight. ali? >> i think that's the more interesting part of it, john, who does come in. we've seen ted cruz come in with a fairly strong performance, but we're really look at jeb buck, john kasich and chris christie. bush and kasich have spent a lot of time in new hampshire. kasich and christie ignored iowa all together, putting their eggs in this basket. and you see a significant showing of what you're seeing, and 2% of the numbers are in, but most of the rest of the polls would have closed by now unless there are some problems with people not finished voting. we'll see if the trends hold up. on the democratic side you're seeing less than 10-point lead by againy sanders. the polls indicate a stronger lead. if i

for president will tell you. and that is that no president, not bernie sanders, not anybody else, will be able to bring about the changes that the working families and the middle class of this country, that our children, that the seniors, our seniors deserve. no one president can do it because the powers that be, wall street with their endless supply of money, corporate america, the large campaign donors are so powerful that no president can do what has to be done alone. and that is why -- and that is why what iowa has begun tonight is a political revolution. [ cheers and applause ] a political revolution that says when millions of people come together including those who've given up on the political process, they're so dismayed and so frustrated with what goes on in washington, with young people who before had never been involved in the political process, when young people and working people and seniors begin to stand up and say loudly and clearly, enough is enough, that our government, the government of our great country belongs to all of us and not just a handful of billionair

clinton and bernie sanders. martin o'malley drops out. ted cruz the clear winner here on the republican side. we're told he is popping champagne bottles on his campaign. but marco rubio, donald trump, one point apart. >> yes, if you put the democratic race up here one point apart, 2/10 separates hillary clinton and bernie sanders. that is with 99% of the precincts reporting. we don't know how many precincts we are waiting to here from. there are a few out there, the democratic party says they're trying to get in touch with the precinct chairs to find out what is going on. we keep waiting for the numbers to be updated. it could happen any minute. let's bring in chris moody in des moines, chris, explain what is going on here. >> reporter: well, you said it, it is -- we are still waiting. it's 3:00 a.m. on the east coast and we still do not have the results of the democratic caucus at this point. it's very quiet in des moines. at this point a lot of the candidates have already left town heading to new hampshire. but the democratic caucus watchers are still biting their nails wai

will bernie sanders supporters stop her in her tracks. >> we need a political revolution. are you ready to join in that revolutio revolution. >> hillary clinton is polarizing, hasn't shown herself to be honest. >> hillary clinton was the best choice to me >>> the results about to roll in. our coverage 2016 starts right now >>> good evening. thanks for joining us. i'm adam may live in new york. >> i'm ali velshi is charleston, south carolina. these polls have closed finally across south carolina. results should be coming in fairly quickly. this is a democratic primary. republican already had their primary in south carolina. this has a little less suspense than many have had in the past. we're expecting a win by hillary clinton across the state. it remains interesting and remains competitive >>> certainly does. we should get the first numbers any moment. i think it is interesting to note that while this may not be a suspenseful race tonight, eyes are already on super tuesday a couple of days away where almost 1500 delegates are up for grabs. that's between 25 and 30% that will be pl

are undoubtedly ted cruz, and bernie sanders two guys talking to and about very different americas. bernie, ted, and the road ahead. it's the "inside story." >>> welcome to "inside story." i'm ray suarez. donald trump had a theory about a different way to win iowa. a campaign not obsessed with hitting all of the counties. and not concerned with a long presence on tv and radio. trump relied heavily on free media, and didn't start to spend much until close to caucus night. he even skipped the last debate in the race. ted cruz used something closer to a play book drawn from recent history. mike huckabee and rick santorum who worked hard, became fixtures on christian talk radio, and spent a lot of time in iowa. in a deeply fractured field, 28% was good enough to win, and maybe good enough to slow down a trump train the polls said could be unstoppable. >> and while americans will continue to suffer, under a president who has set an agenda that is causing millions to hurt across this country, i want to remind you of the promise of scripture. weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh

john: with all due respect to askedy clinton, if you bernie sanders supporters how bernie's campaign is going, this is what they will tell you -- >> pretty, pretty, pretty, good. ♪ john: we have a good show for you tonight. we are outside the thomas cooper library on the campus of the university of south carolina where we sat down with bernie sanders earlier today. we will show you our conversation with them on the supreme court and much much more in the program. in case you missed it on presidents' day, this is what bill clinton said about bernie momentum and having a similar effect on the democratic party that the tea party movement had on republicans. altogethert mysterious that there are a lot of people that say, well, the republican party rewarded the , just tell people what they want to hear, move them to the right and we will be rewarded, except they did not get anything done. then that has gone on in our party now. john: today, we asked bernie sanders to respond. want to asked something bill clinton said yesterday, he seemed to compare it your supporters and your m

the deal, or will bernie sanders surprise again heading into super tuesday? >> announcer: right now the democratic candidates fighting for their first primary victory in the south. >> the fight goes on, the future that we want is within our grasp. >> it's the last chance for t triumph before the race goes national on super tuesday. >> you have a chance to make history. >> announcer: who will have the advantage heading into the biggest round of voting yet? it's south carolina's choice. tonight in the battle for the democratic nomination, hillary clinton re-energized by her win in nevada working to knock out her opponent and take control of the race for good. >> going to wrap up the nomination and then we're going to win this election. >> announcer: bernie sanders trying to spread his political revolution to the south and prove he can go the distance as the campaign moves cross-country. >> we are actually listening to the american people, not the 1%. >> announcer: it could be a game changing contest in a state where african-american voters are a powerful force and both democrats need

ahead considerably from bernie sanders. now, privately, wolf, this is the more interesting part. sources with the campaign not so cautious. one of them, in fact, saying that they think that this race is going to be over mid march, march 15th. there's another series of contests on that day. that's just two weeks from wednesday. that tells you something. they have a lot of work to put in. but they think ultimately by mid march hillary clinton will have pulled far ahead of bernie sanders. almost 60% of the dell gegates l have been awarded. >>> jeff zeleny is over at bernie sanders headquarters in rechst rochester tonight. is he there on the ground getting ready to address the crowd behind you? >> reporter: he has landed just moments ago at the rochester airport. you can see the crowd behind me is gathered, several hundred people are here, are clearly true bernie sanders supporters. they have been waiting for a couple hours for him to come address the crowd. he was here just yesterday in the state as well in the minneapolis area. he is clearly focusing on minnesota as one of the sta

the legacy. with bernie sanders taking offense to the latest line of clinton attacks. >> i think we have been an ally. have you ever disagreed with a president? i suspect you may have. >> calling the president weak, calling him a disappointment and calling several times that he should have a primary opponent when he ran for reelection in 2012, you know, i think further than saying we have our disagreements. >> one of us ran against barack obama. i was not that candidate. >> alex seitz-wald joins me now. you've been covering hillary clinton going back. what do you make of the debate? >> a new tone to her. it's been striking, much hotter and calmer this time around, and i think that reflect it is larger message. she's the adult. she's the realistic one in the room and lets sanders be hotter and more passionate, but i think that bit you played, it's an issue that was brewing for a while and had it out in a big way. especially important into south caroli carolina, where we expect 50% to 60%. obama is a 90% approval rating and bernie sanders doesn't have a great answer on this. he did ta

and bernie sanders one on one, a debate you'll see right here on cnn tonight. plus, donald trump says he's going to positive. is he taking a page from john kasich's playbook? and when bill clinton attacks, could he actually hurt his wife's campaign? let's go "outfront." >>> good evening, i'm erin burnett. outfront tonight, showdown in milwaukee. hillary clinton and bernie sanders about to face off in the pbs news hour presidential debate which will air right here on cnn at 9:00 eastern. two podiums tonight. the stakes could not be higher for both candidates. they will meet on this stage at the university of wisconsin. it has been just 48 hours since sanders landslide victory over clinton in the new hampshire primary, beating her by 22 points. for clinton, not long ago considered the presumptive democratic nominee, she's locked in a battle for every vote as she looks ahead to nevada and south carolina, states that she expects to win. the african-american vote will be crucial. bernie sanders cannot win without some of that. today the congressional black caucus pac throwing its support t

berman. >> i'm poppy harlow. so glad you're with us. >> big, big wins for bernie sanders in the new hampshire primary. bernie sanders riding a wave of younger supporters. he pulled in 60% of the vote to 38% for hillary clinton. >> what began last week in iowa, what voters here in new hampshire confirmed tonight is nothing short of the beginning of a political revolution. [ applause ] >> and for the republicans, donald trump took 35%, winning by 51,000 votes. this is the largest margin of victory for any republican candidate in a contested primary, at least since 2000. >> we are going to make america great again. [ applause ] >> ohio governor john kasich, dark horse of the establishment candidates, if you will, came in a strong second place. though still far behind donald trump, with a pile in his rear-view mirror as they fight it out for third place. >> jeremy diamond joins us now from manchester with more on tonight's winners and losers. the winners were big winners, jeremy. >> reporter: absolutely. i mean, you had donald trump and bernie sanders both coming out with huge double di

to close in on bernie sanders' very large lead in this state. and she's joined by former congresswoman gabby giffords today. >> speaking is difficult for me, but january, i want to say these two words madame president. >> and can i just say how exciting it is to see gabby giffords. i'm joined here by robby muco. we've seen gabbie fif gourds's long struggle to recover and to see her there with hillary clinton and speaking so well with her husband, mark kelly. >> it's really inspiring, absolutely. >> let's talk about new hampshire first of all the republicans already going after hillary clinton, as they have been. there was a tweet today from matt katz, new jersey reporter covering chris christie and this is what chris christie had to say about hillary clinton. this wasn't on camera, but this is the quote. i'll beat her rear end on that stage, meaning in a general election, and afterwards, she'll believe i didn't serve her with a subpoena. clearly going right after her on electability which has been one of her arguments against bernie sanders. >> well, andrea, as you mentio

primary. we also predict that bernie sanders will be the winner of the democratic primary in new hampshire. there you see the winner, donald trump, the republican primary winner, bernie sanders we project will be the democratic winner. we make that projection on the basis of the exit poll information we have received. we also make that projection on the actual numbers. the actual votes that have already been tallied. all of the polls in those states, in the states are now closed. let's take a look at the pick hers right now from donald trump headquarters. you can see they're beginning to get the word. they are ready to celebrate right now. donald trump headquarters, bernie sanders headquarters. they've got the word as well. the cnn projections. trump is the winner in new hampshire. bernie sanders is the winner in new hampshire. the republican race, the democratic race. obviously, a lot of excitement right there. the polls apparently were very accurate on the basis of the actual numbers, though, and the exit polls, we have those projections. let's go to dana and jake. jake, this is a moment

crushing loss to bernie sanders in new hampshire. it's the first battleground where minority voters could decide the winner. will they rally behind clinton and her her rebound? >> it's not whether you get knocked down that matters. it's whether you get back up! >> announcer: or will nevada feel the burn? >> a funny thing happened. the people became involved in the campaign. >> announcer: later tonight in the republican race -- it's south carolina's choice. donald trump resurgent after his landslide victory in new hampshire. >> all of these characters are going to give it up and we will make america great again. >> announcer: ted cruz hoping to thump trump as the race moves into the bible belt. >> if conservatives stand together, we will win the republican nomination. >> announcer: marco rubio, john kasich and jeb bush, all battling to be the mainstream alternative in a diverse state known for its military might, and political brawls. >> donald trump. he has no clue. >> jeb bush has no foreign policy experience, period. >> i don't take crap from anybody. >> now, it's time for voters

here on cnn. big stakes for hillary clinton and bernie sanders tonight. a full preview this hour as we count you down here in new hampshire and what the candidates need to do. >>> breaking news tonight. donald trump accusing ted cruz of stealing the election. and the attacks getting nastier between clinton and sanders. will we see more fireworks tonight? >>> good evening to all. i'm erin burnett live tonight in dairy, new hampshire. that is tonight's cnn democratic presidential town hall site. outfront tonight hillary clinton and bernie sanders. they'll be facing tough questions from voters starting very soon. the stakes for both candidates could not be higher tonight. in just six days there will be voting in the new hampshire primary. i want to begin with the breaking news tonight. donald trump speaking today, charging ted cruz stole the iowa caucuses, threatening to sue. >> i probably will, yeah. what he did is unthinkable. he said the man left the race and he said it during the caucus. then the clarification went out of ben carson saying it was untrue, they got the statement and the

bernie sanders have won the maria: again, already projected trump. ed: these were the ones who had the larger numbers. ap is saying they have both won. we are sorry for interrupting. latest in merrimack. christiansen -- lynn christiansen. one voter called this a traffic apocalypse. lynn: that is about right and we know it and we admit it. we changed the traffic pattern because past years we have had some congestion. not huge but some and we change the pattern to try and make it better. obviously it made it much worse. so we have been trying to tweak it a little bit. we put officers out there to help with directions and moving nothing we could do to make this work better this afternoon. karen: they' re wrapping this up, closing down. the polls right here. lessons learned for next time? lynn: absolutely. we will review how we did and how we did it and what we can do to make it work better next time. karen: back to you. ed: the votes will be closing but it is important to note the votes are still important. the ap is saying trump and sanders have one. maria: the ap is calling this race fo

electorate being liberal is helping bernie sanders now keep this close. if it had been like in 2008 only 45% of the electorate said they were liberal this would be different. that is helping bernie sanders. >> it's interesting, i wonder why the dynamics have changed within the democratic party and nevada. we know obviously that the demographics are changing but the dynamics in terms of where people are on the democratic spectrum is fascinating. >> we've been seeing this in both parties, seeing in these nominateing race that the activist base that is more idyllically pure cares more about idyllicle purity are driving these candidacies on both sides. i don't think that was the same kind of dynamic in 2008. >> really interesting numbers. >> david, quickly, we're about to start getting the initial exit poll information from south carolina where there is a republican presidential primary. not a caucus primary under way. >> right. polls there don't close until 7:00 p.m. eastern but we are going to start looking at digging in now to the numbers in south carolina and i'll be back with you on som

away from opening the polls. bernie sanders and hillary clinton, of course, fighting for every last vote and so far clinton is leading by a wide margin. she spent most of the week campaigning hard, of course. this afternoon she's in alabama before heading back to south carolina for the watch party tonight. after a concert and rally last night, bernie sanders looking ahead to campaigning in texas and minnesota today. cnn correspondent jeff zelledy following their campaigns. jeff. >> reporter: they're certainly not counting on a win. he's been across the country in illinois, minnesota. he's going to spend tonight in minnesota as well. looking ahead to those super tuesday contests next week. but it gave him a chance to reach out to a more diverse part of his democratic electorate. he did not spend as much time here as some of his advisers would have hoped he would. he notice thad to keep going in this contest he needs to do well. we'll see if he does well here, but south carolina is feeling so different than it did eight years ago when it was hillary clinton outside the state not remai

victory over bernie sanders. we didn't. they did. >>> plus, on the republican side, ted cruz wins the night. donald trump loses the night. marco rubio says third place is the best thing ever. >> what a night. >> good morning. welcome to "early start." i'm john berman. >> i'm christine romans. it is tuesday, february 2nd. 5:0 5:00 a.m. in the east. >> ted cruz won the iowa caucuses. donald trump finished second. marco rubio finished a very, very close third. ted cruz did well with evangelicals. the democratic side, we have been waiting all night to get a clear answer? .4% all night. about an hour ago, the state democratic party said there was one precinct left. hillary clinton leads with 4.08 state delegate equivalents. a mathematical formulation. she is a very tiny bit ahead. there are 2.2 state delegates equivalents remaining. the clinton campaign says the math works in their favor. we are waiting for more information. joining us live from des moines this morning, the last reporter, senior digital reporter chris moody. great to have you here with us. >> reporter: great to be here all

, whether bernie sanders are donald trump, you can say they have been ahead in new hampshire a lot, this state loves to take people in that position and hurl them to the earth. independent voters who have been waiting to put their thumb on the scale, no lead is safe. donald trump could be in third place on tuesday night. not the likeliest outcome, but it would not surprise me at all. mark: you have got to wonder if trump and cruz are thinking through the strategy that this fits into, because tactically they might think it's a good thing, but strategically i don't know it is in either of these guys' interest to have this war. -- fight. you have a situation where all four of these candidates, any one of them is still in the zone where they are poised where they could theoretically leap into second place or even first. that's just how crazy this thing can be over these eight days. i think if those two guys beat each other up enough, they could create just enough room for one or more of the establishment guys to rise up. mark: it does not take a great memory to remember the days that c

. right now bernie sanders also has an extremely impressive win over hillary clinton's almost 70% of the vote is in. he's 36,000 vote ahead of hillary clinton. he's got 60% of the vote to hillary clinton's 39%. bernie sanders just a little while ago in his victory speech said this: >> nine months ago we began our campaign here in new hampshire. we had no campaign organization, we had no money, and we were taking on the most powerful political organization in the united states of america. [ cheers ] and tonight with what aprpears o be a record breaking voter turnout -- [ cheers and applause ] because of a huge voter turnout, and i say "yuge," we won because we harness the energy and the excitement that the democratic matter will need to succeed in november! [ cheers and applause ] >> bernie sanders, the independent senator from vermont, with a very impressive win over hillary clinton. john king, you're taking a closer look. let's look at the republican side. the battle for third place that is really under way, bush, for example, can he take third and beat cruz? >> can he, yes. trump w

caucuses are still too close to call. hillary clinton, bernie sanders now in a dead heat. earlier tonight after his big win senator cruz celebrated with his supporters in the hawkeye state. take a look. >> god bless the strait great state of iowa. >> tonight is a victory for the grassroots. tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives across iowa and all across this great nation. and the next president of the united states will not be chosen by the media, will not be chosen by the lobbyists, will not be chosen by the washington establishment. but will be chosen by the most incredible, powerful force, with all so forth resides in our nation by we the people, the american people. >> joining us now with reaction from the washington times, charles hurt, fox news contributor kerstin powers, and fox news legal analyst peter johnson jr. welcome you all. what a night. so many different story lines. one, the media, the polls wrong again. just like in 2000, 2004, 2008. two, if you add up trump and cruz and carson, you have got over 60% of republicans and anti-establishment night. an in

. lou is hillary clinton supporters, green are bernie sanders supporters and the great counties that were there, it was a tie. guest: you will notice the southern counties for clinton are rural, 56 counties in the state that have populations of less than 15,000 people, clinton had the vast majority of those. she also had the most populous county in the state, where des center, and not surprisingly, bernie sanders had the counties around the university of iowa, it can see in the east side of this day, south of cedar rapids, johnson county, iowa city, the university and he did well there. the county north of des moines, where iowa state university is, bernie sanders had the counties with the largest college populations. surprisingly a little bit, bernie sanders did well along the western edge of this day, the northwest, and down south ,long the river, the low hills they apparently only exist in iowa and japan, i just learned this the other day, -- host: fun facts. guest: got to love him. that is where hillary clinton did well back in the day, but bernie sanders did better this time. ho

being with us. we turn to south carolina where hillary clinton and bernie sanders are out searching for votes outof tomorrow's crucial democratic primary. john terret is there at the hillary clinton rally in the state capital columbia. john. >> that's right, paul good evening to you from columbia. and i can tell you there's somewhat of a twofer going on here. not only is this large crowd in the center of columbia going to be treated by what they say is the 45th president of the united states, they're going to be treated to the 42nd as well. bill and hillary clinton are on the stage behind me in a very short time. the clintons don't want to happen what happened in 2008 when she was ahead in the polls, but she still lost the primary here. they're making every effort to prevent that from happening with rallies like there one right up to the point the voting gets underway tomorrow. bernie sanders of course well behind in the polls here in south carolina. he abandoned the state for the last couple of days but he's been back today campaigning among other things with killer mike, a rapper and

great to have you with us. deeper divisions between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. clinton said sanders is too critical of president obama. >> she said he is a single issue canned day. on the other side, donald trump vows to play nice and going on the attack at the same time. they face off in their debate tomorrow night. senior correspondent jeff zeleny at the scene of last night's debate. >> reporter: hillary clinton and her call for a reality check. now, it was just those two on the stage behind me. but president obama hung on nearly every word. and he she hugged him tightly. >> secretary clinton, you're not in the white house yet. >> a civil but contentious night for hillary clinton and bernie sanders. side by side is on stage since the commanding new hampshire victory up ended the primary fight. again and again, clinton tried making one thing fair. she is the rightful heir to president obama. >> today senator sanders said president obama failed the leadership test. this is not the first time he has criticized president obama. he has called him weak. he has called him a

bernie sanders are make strong appeals, 55% of the vote in south carolina is expected to come from african americans. what do you see in the race between clinton and sanders? >> they are going to tout their records on issues against african americans, bernie sanders as a his at least a little part in the civil rights movement and is he trying to burnish that. he has not really run that in a state with a high black population, it's not just saturday in south carolina, 15% of the democratic electorate in nevada which also votes on saturday in their caucuses are minorities. we have results, bernie sanders doesn't and we've always been there for african american vote. again it's a frustrating thing for hillary clinton to go into south carolina eight years after she went in there still trying to get the african american vote from a democratic competitor but she's going to have to work for it. and the polling there and all indications seem to be that that is in her favor. >> given that bernie sanders needed to seacial had a must-win with new hampshire he got it, the polls are showing som

i'm proud to be jewish and proud of my heritage. >> thank you. senator bernie sanders. thank you all at the university of chicago for having us here. join me at 11:00 for a live post game analysis of the republican debate. >>> that was great. that was the hardball college "t!rass band onset.lete with a chris matthews with democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders, live from the university of chicago's institute of politics. this is a live shot right now with that event having just wrapped up. i'm rachel maddow back in new york. we do not have a brass band. that was a remarkable event. there's a lot going on in news and politics tonight. on the political side, bryan sandoval has taken his name out of contention for the supreme court nominee. a whole new raft of polling has come out. donald trump continues to dominate the field. the rest of the republican field has now started amongst themselves in earnest as to who ought the quit. on the democratic side of the race we did have this remarkable, long forum town hall with bernie sanders who is safeç to say back to being the u

at all. donald trump, democrat bernie sanders, they won big in new hampshire. look at that. young voters, independent voters, even women voters helping drive sanders to a 22-point win over hillary clinton. >> as the results came in, the candidates looked ahead, straight at south carolina. both winners and losers. that's what they were focusing on. look. >> we are going to make america great again. >> hillary, you just needed this much and head to south carolina because it ain't working here. >> the real winner is the conservative grassroots. >> i did not do well on saturday night, so listen to this, that will never happen again. >> there's so much going to happen. >> i love you all. thank you, new hampshire. thank you, we are going now to south carolina. we're going to win in south carolina. i love you all. thank you very much. >> i love you all. thank you very much. thank you, new hampshire. thank you. that was donald trump right there. cnn politics reporter jeremy diamond is in new hampshire. thank you, jeremy. what a night it was for donald and bernie sanders. >> unbelievable.

winner for the democrats. bernie sanders as expected. if you want to anger the sanders' campaign, ad just as quickly "from a neighboring state in vermont." 60 to 39 the percentage with 69% in the numbers. will change as we go throughout the night. bernie sanders addressed an uproarious crowd. >> together we have sent the message that will echo from wall street to washington, from maine to california -- [ applause ] -- and that is that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors and their super packs. [ applause ] >> bernie sanders earlier tonight and now to the republicans. he has done it. he pulled it off. donald trump of new york has won the new hampshire primary. our projected winner just after 8:00 p.m. eastern time tonight. we also called second place fairly early this evening for the governor of ohio, former congressman, john kasich. it is the rest of the race that we expect to remain fluid as a higher percent of the vote comes in. the big race was between third, fourth and fifth. between cruz, bush an

let's go to concorde. bernie sanders camp. winner of the democratic side. they said large voter turn out would benefit bernie sanders. in fact bernie sanders your winner tonight. >> mark, have aness that party going on here right now. usually, these things don't really get going until you know well, couple hours later in the evening but i will step sought way restricted because of our riser space you may be able to see they are pumped if here. the tv was on loud when it was the announced that association press has declared de santos the winner here in new hampshire. and, this place absolutely erupted. and you can hear them now. chants i have heard number of times. over the last week or so. bernie, bernie, bernie. these folks absolutely adore the very months senator. they have come out big for him. over the last week has made after very close second place finish in iowa. but victory tonight, and now the de santos campaign, looks forward to south carolina. nevada, and then down the road to super tuesday. certainly, de santos is rock star here in new hampshire. but he has much bigger --

race between former secretary of state hillary clinton and vermont senator bernie sanders. some, hang on as we say, good day, good afternoon, i'm bill hemmer, special edition of america's newsroom. >> great to be here on a saturday afternoon. it's a really exciting day. and we've got a live look for you at las vegas. where they are caucusing as they can do only in las vegas. cesar's palace, folks, and the big question, and this is a very big question for hillary clinton today. will her firewall hold up in the face of what bernie sanders is calling a political revolution that is clearly catching fire? we should have an answer some time in the next couple of hours. on the republican side, let's go over to columbia, south carolina, where the polls are open, analysises saying that the state is trump's race to lose. as the rest of the field is jockeying for a second or third place finish, most likely. >> so we have live team fox coverage, and here we go, carl cameron covering the trump campaign, he's live in south carolina. ed henry watches the democratic race in nevada. we have anal

moment bernie sanders and hillary clinton have been waiting for. polls close at 7:00 p.m. eastern. we are getting hard numbers right now. stand by for this. as cnn makes this major projection, hillary clinton is the winner of south carolina democratic presidential primary. we have projected that the former secretary of state, former u.s. senator, former first lady of the united states will win the south carolina democratic primary. a very important win for hillary clinton going into super tuesday. let's go over to brianna keilar. they are about to hear the word right now. i assume there will be a lot of joy behind you, brianna. >> yeah, wolf, that's right. in fact, there is a delay here. cnn is playing on the speaker. so they are just hearing this right now, that the polls have closed and they are waiting for this projection. and the crowd is starting to get very excited. she has girlfriends with hillary land back with her days as first lady. what folks are hoping for is a victory that has a very large margin. a decisive win that will propel them into super tuesday. >> brianna, a

. onto the democratic side. if you wanted to know how the caucuses work, if bernie sanders had done better, and he lost around five points, he would be inging his back to south carolina, but instead, sanders and his campaign staff are downplaying the loss in south carolina. now he is headed off to new england to lay some super groundwork for super tuesday. on the other hand, rather than rushing to south carolina, clinton heads to southern california to hobnob with some rich people there. we asked about from and why did one caucus victory here so changed dramatically the perception that clinton is now, it is inevitable, in a commanding position? that one poll, that cnn poll, that showed in nevada that it was a tossup. ratherised expectations than lowering them. hillary clinton came in by winning the popular vote and she also won the delegate count. strength with african-american voters and latino voters and even though sanders made a slight dent on side, we think, he didn't do enough to rob her of that coalition but to big delegate leads on march 1 and the way the democratic process

senator bernie sanders fighting over the very final votes right now in south carolina. they're looking ahead also to the big prize, super tuesday. the largest single day delegate haul. mrs. clinton leading senator sanders two to one in their previous contests. now with more than seven times as many delegates at stake, she's in alabama, was earlier today, and sounded pretty confident on the campaign trail. >> if i'm so fortunate enough to be your president, i'm going to fight to raise the federal minimum wage, but we also have to create more good jobs, jobs that can give people a real shot. >> she may be back to columbia, south carolina for a potential victory party tonight. her opponent, senator sanders, bracing for potential loss there. skipping ahead to texas. even leaving south carolina out in a stump speech earlier today. >> and in iowa we ended up in a virtual tie. in new hampshire, we won that state. in nevada, we came within five points. you bring your friends and your neighbors and your co-workers. we are going to win here in texas. >> senator sanders is in texas and ha

voter turnout, and i say huge. >> fed up voters delivering landslide wins to bernie sanders and donald trump. >> you are going to be so happy, we are going to make america so great again, maybe greater than ever before. >> throwing more chaos into the republican race providing john kasich's campaign, other candidates left reeling. >> our disappointment tonight is not on you. it's on me. it's on me. >> once considered untouchable, hillary clinton in the fight of her life. >> i know i have some work to do, particularly with young people. >> an epic shake-up from this first in the nation primary. starts now. >>> and we do say good wednesday morning, everyone. voters in new hampshire living up to their reputation of being independent thinkers, you might say, shaking up both sides in the race for the white house. >> voters came out near record numbers. take a look at this scene. it's from well into the evening. you can see cars as far as the eye can see, people rushing to vote. >> those voters sending shock waves through the democratic race giving fellow new englander bernie sanders

>>> the big news this morning, the big wins for donald trump and bernie sanders. the new hampshire victors in landslide style, crushing the competition. we'll talk about how they pulled off the big wins and what it means going forward. the presidential race, it is on. >>> good morning, welcome to "early start," i'm john berman. >> and i'm christine romans. nice to see you all this morning, it's bright and early wednesday, february 10th, 4:00 a.m. in the east. big victories in the new hampshire this morning for the outsider candidates, donald trump and bernie sanders with 92% of the votes tallied in the state's first in the nation primary trump vastly outpacing his rivals, nearly 20 points ahead of john kasich, john kasich who nevertheless beat expectations with a number two finish, a second place finish. the rest of the republican pack bunched together with 12% or less. between the democrats bernie sanders also soundly beat hillary clinton in new hampshire by more than 20 points. a painfully, painfully wide margin for clinton on the heels of his defeat in iowa last week. let's hear

this and help hillary clinton, his i think preferred candidate, and maybe bernie sanders. >> yeah. gloria, what's the reaction there on the ground for people to hear the president weighing in on, you know, just before a primary? >> reporter: look, i think -- i think no one is surprised that the president is critical of republicans, of course, but i don't think it matters to republican primarygoers here what barack obama thinks about any of the republican candidates. the interesting thing to me, if you look at our poll today in south carolina, the candidate overwhelmingly that republicans thought could bring about change, remember change, is donald trump. >> donald trump, right. >> reporter: 60% of them thought donald trump was a candidate of change. who was the candidate of change in 2008? barack obama was the candidate of change. who can change washington? donald trump. so that's really important to trump. people want change from obama. and when you talk about trump and obama being the exact opposite, that's what republicans want. they didn't -- they don't like obama. they've had

bernie sanders who is proving to be her strong, if slightly improbable opponent. and once again, even though secretary clinton was expected to have an unassailable financial advantage in this fight for the democratic nomination, once again her opponent is proving to be really, really good, like record setting really good at raising money. last night after senator sanders scored his massive win in new hampshire, his 22-point victory, the largest margin of victory in any new hampshire primary in, like, half a century, last night, overnight, through the morning, through today, the sanders campaign has been taking a shock and awe approach to displaying the fund raising response they got to their victory last night in new hampshire. at one point last night the sanders campaign uploaded his gif, this little online video clip which they said showed the pace at which donations were flooding into their website as senator sanders declared victory in new hampshire. by midnight last night, they said they had raised more than $2.5 million. by this evening, less than 24 hours after the polls closed

hillary clinton if she wins or bernie sanders if he were to win in iowa. that would be significant. clearly an embarrassment for the democratic party right now. let's take a closer look at what has happened so far tonight in the iowa caucuses. first on the republican side, cnn projected a while ago ted cruz, the texas senator, he is the winner in the iowa republican caucuses with 28%. trump with 24%. marco rubio in a very impressive third place with 23%. ben carson with 9%. but cruz did win. he beat trump by 6,233 votes. a big win for ted cruz. he now goes on to the next contest. all of them go on to the next contest. clearly a disappointment for donald trump. he was hoping to win the most recent polls in iowa showed he would win. but he did not win tonight. impressive night, though, for marco rubio. on the democratic side, hillary clinton and bernie sanders about as close as you possibly can see with 98% of the vote now in. 49.8% for hillary clinton. bernie sanders 49.6%. martin o'malley, he's down. he's now suspended his campaign for all practical purposes he is now out. technica

% for bernie sanders. not doing so well. uncommitted the same number. hillary clinton doing well so far. about a quarter of that vote now in on the democratic side. let's go back to jake and dana for more. >> thanks, wolf. >> in our own jeff, he is in des moines at sanders's campaign headquarters. we just spoke with him. what did he have to say? >> we just spoke with senator sanders and his wife surrounded by his family. we are here in des moines watching the results come in carefully. >> what do you think you accomplished here? we are only at the beginning of the race. >> what we have shown is that the american people are very dissatisfied with the situation with the middle class continuing to shrink. i think even more, regardless of people's persuasion, people are really angry about a campaign finance system. that's corrupt and allows billionaires to buy elections. >> of course senator sanders is upbeat as he watches the results. he raised $20 million in january alone. his aides expect him to raise as much as they possibly does, win or lose. the sanders campaign is encouraged by t
