jeb bush isn't afraid. jeb bush: "that is downright wrong..." he stands up to trump for his liberal democratic positions. calls out trump for insulting women, attacking the disabled... even trashing a decorated war hero. trump: "i like peoplethat weren't captured..." jeb bush: "john mccain is an american hero..." jeb bush. the better man. the real conservative. a commander in chief. evening into very early wednesday morning with lows near 40 degrees. the sun is back wednesday through sunday with warming temperatures into the 70s by this weekend. in today's "50 days to 50 recover from yesterday's 50 pullups, so i pulled out... my p90x dvds. there's an entire set for several different workouts. i love these for when i can't get to a gym or outside for the workout. today i did the nearly hour-long stretch dvd. it starts you with some deep breathing and stretching of the neck, back, chest and arms. and then includes the legs. personal trainer tony horton is known for some goofy quotes, but some really solid exercises for the entire body. i find this

not jeb bush's year. and a lot of people who are close to him and have been lamenting for some time that he is a great leader, has a proven record, but you can't become a leader until you can prove that you're a good candidate. and he just hasn't been able to catch that fire, no matter what he did. and even with his brother coming in south carolina, where he's wildly popular, george w. bush, it was a one-day bump. and just the next day i was down in south carolina talking to a lot of people saying, it vanished. it was just too quick. it didn't help him. >> and it raises the serious question, is money really all that important? n politics? because david, you know he and a super pac had $100 million to do the job. that wasn't done. >> it's unbelievable. in every one of these states, the largest spender on television ads is the jeb bush super pac. zero. zero traction for what they were doing. and i think that gets back to dana's point, wolf. the electorate was just in a different place. >> all right. stand b

jeb bush. who was the number one spender in south carolina? jeb bush. he is calling in fourth and sixth places in all of these states. >> spending $2,000 per vote in many cases. >> he should have been able to stay on until the very end when there is a candidate that the establishment candidate was really rattled by. because of the way they spent money. he blew it. he has been running on fumes. they have zero hard dollars left and almost all the super pac money was gone. absolute political malpractice. whether or not you like jeb bush as a candidate and as a talent, the way that campaign was run is absolute lip ridiculous. >> it is not about the money. it is the strategic decision. it is what lauren alluded to. they've all spent mind boggling amounts of money. >> he spent the most. >> the strategic decision that will be dissected as people now begin the process of looking at what went wrong will be what you alluded to. that trump successfully branded him the day -- he did as chuck said. he announced the morning after jeb. he rode down that escalator. and

. >> we have been waiting for years for jeb bush to run. it was always, is jeb bush going to run? did he wait too long, and by the he couldn't have picked a worse time. everyone talked about this. it's been picking a fight with the pope, boycotting a debate and getting into twitter wars. it's these raw meat kinds of things. jeb bush wanted to talk about social security and education reform. he couldn't get attention. the other problem, i think, his campaign really underestimated donald trump add the electorate. they were laughing at trump. he was third in the polls. his staff barely concealed that. the president was all but giddy. they were excited about trump because they thought he was a joke as a candidate. look who is laughing now. >> they spent a ton of money, and it barely made a blip on the radar. where does that money go now, do >> well, the conventional wisdom is that marco rubio really stands to benefit. once again, to go back to your original point, if you go back a year ago, how many candidates were there? 7 had. there were 14 candidates. marco rubio was the least qual

jeb bush. who's the number one spender in south carolina? jeb bush. he should have been, with that much money, able to stay on until the very end when the candidate for the establishment was a little rattled. they've got basically zero hard dollars left and basically all of the super pac money is gone. that was absolute malpractice and whether or not you like jeb bush as a talent and a candidate, the way that campaign was run was ridiculous. >> it's what lawrence alluded to earlier. >> to spend money for nothing. >> they've all spent mind-boggling amounts of money, but the decision that will be dissected as people begin looking at the process of what went wrong will be what you alluded to. that trump successfully planned him. >> low energy sat out there for two weeks. >> like chuck said. he rode down that escalator the morning after jeb bush announced. and i remember talking to him over the summer, what are you going to do about trump? and they said we have to stay focussed on our lane. there's going to and outsider primary and an establishment primar

jeb bush isn't afraid. jeb bush: "that is downright wrong..." he stands up to trump for his liberal democratic positions. calls out trump for insulting women, attacking the disabled... even trashing a decorated war hero. trump: "i like peoplethat weren't captured..." jeb bush: "john mccain is an american hero..." jeb bush. the better man. the real conservative. a commander in chief. right to rise usa and 70s and lows in the 30s and 40s. rain returns to the forecast monday through wednesday of next week. break 3 and 70s and lows in the 30s and 40s. rain returns to the forecast monday through wednesday of next week. break 3 one of the big questions for the jeb bush's super pac continues to throw mud, this time about john kasich. newt gingrich responded, "any suggestion that john kasich is anti-defense is simply false. i served with him for sixteen years and he consistently fought for a better, more effective military. any ad attacking kasich on and oh in the s-e-c. the gamecocks are pursuing a perfect conference record...they're 12 and oh...with f

jeb bush. it was because he raised $100 million in the blink of an eye to start off the race. >> and it was because he was born a bush. >> he just tapped those donor networks. he stacked up $100 million. it was the, forgive me, it was the shock and awe strategy that his brother used in 2000 to scare everybody else out of the race. and i think the tragedy of the sort of political, the tragedy of the way the jeb bush campaign fell apart is the way they spent themselves into oblivion. if you're jeb bush and this race is going to have donald trump as the nominee or maybe ted cruz as the nominee or maybe untested marco rubio as the nominee, that is such a fragile state. you want to be there so you are another option. with $100 million to sit on, he should have been able to stay until the very end. instead, who was the number one spender in iowa? jeb bush. who was the number one spender in new hampshire? jeb bush. who was the number one spender in south carolina? jeb bush. when he's coming in fourth

will it help jeb bush? at the end of the day it may end up helping donald trump. >> you're getting some word on what we might expect to hear from the former president of the united states and jeb bush at this event that's coming up, it's an important event. >> right. guess what, former president bush wants you to vote for his brother. that's the headline. he's going to talk about what characteristics he thinks makes a good president and then he's going to say my brother has those characteristics. something we just found out. there was a little lobbying of a very important governor, south carolina governor nikki haley we've been told met with former president bush and former first lady laura bush today at that veterans event. and i am told that former president bush will talk about nikki haley during his comments. everybody wants nikki haley's endorsement. her phone has been ringing off the hook. her staff told me today she's undecided as of this morning, but maybe this will make the difference. >> a lot of

jeb bush is out. that's critical for them, and they're going to try to say it's only us now to take on trump and cruz. and john kasich is going to say, not so fast. he's going to have an argument to make now against marco rubio about why the establishment should start consolidating around him and his executive experience and his battleground state, versus marco rubio's battleground state. so, i think that john kasich isn't going to sort of let marco rubio just consolidate establishment support and call it a day. i think that on our houston debate stage on thursday night, guys, watch how kasich and rubio square off against each other. >> excellent plug for the debate thursday night in houston. >> well done, david. >> thanks, david. >> you've now won your payment today. >> let us know when you hear about rubio/cruz, who won there, because we're waiting for that call here. >> because they both basically claimed victory today. >> both for second and third place claimed victory. all right, but let's talk a

fail-safe to jeb bush. if two of the three are out of the race and you start consolidating numbers, that person is taking donald trump one-on-one, donald trump has hit his ceiling. we know he is going to get one third of the primary voters out there right now. marco rubio ceiling as we have seen from august all the way through continues to rise. part of the reason why he gave a victory speech in iowa was because he was polling in fifth or sixth place and get to a third place. he almost beat donald trump in iowa where he was winning for four months >>> stand by. jeb bush is now taking to the stage. >> when i began this journey in miami i said i would go everywhere speaking to every, keeping my word, facing the issues without flinching and staying true to what i believe. for the better part of a year i have endeavoured to do just exactly that. i have put forth a vision for america that includes all because our country deserves a president for everyone. the presidency is bigger than any one person and certainl

he said this about jeb bush. "jeb bush has zero communication skills, so he spent a fortune of special interest money on a super bowl ad. he is a weak candidate." then the return, "you aren't just a loser, are you a liar and a whiner. john mccain is a hero. over and out." has jeb bush found what he thinks is going to work in new hampshire and beyond, dana? >> reporter: he hopes so. i actually just sat down moment ago with jeb bush. i'm around the corner from him speaking live. we didn't want to interrupt him. right before he began to speak, i talked to him because -- i asked him about that. also just about the broader idea that he came in to this campaign saying that he really only wanted to run if he could do so joyfully. does that square with tweeting that someone is say whiner, loser, and liar, the tweet that you just read to the viewers. his answer was, look, i'm the guy standing up to donald trump, you know, he said, i'm going to be joyful, but i'm also a warrior. he genuinely feels -- and i think we've seen

imagine you are jeb bush. you wake up to this all these donors, these supposed supports and life long family friends the people that most want you to be president. these are the people helping you become president. instead, they're begging you through mind woets to do your duty and quit the race for the good of your country. if there was any more rail left on the jeb bush company that can enthat forever. >> that said, the kind of thing has been going on for a while with jeb bush and specifically with the publication politico.com. if you look at these ings strings of stories politico has run about jeb bush just like this, it's been now a couple months of this from politico over and over again. this is like a spec beat they got at that beltway publication, foretelling of the doom of jeb bush. blind quoting people, supposedly close to him, saying terrible things about him. i mean, this is more than just a trend. it's almost weird. this is from the beginning of december, jeb bush is convincing donors, the polls ar

they say that's not jeb bush's problem. they want to hear a plan, though, for not just from jeb bush, but how all the candidates hope to address that. we'll hear from george w. bush about five minutes from now. 15 minutes later, his brother jeb bush expected to take the stage as well. this is obviously been scheduled for maximum impact, coinciding with the network evening newscast at 6:30 tonight. >> peter alexander, timing it down to the minute. thank you so much. i want to bring in ann gearen, a political correspondent for the "washington post." susan page is the washington bureau chief for u.s. "today." as we're looking at this big crowd, ann, how important do you think the rally is? >> it's very important. as he said, there are 2,000 people there. there's a lot riding on it. there's a lot of spotlight. this is the first time his brother, with whom he has had a publicly conflicted relationship over his brother's legacy, will come out for him. it was sort of left that his mother very popular figure who has been popular ev

are they just wasting their photo on jeb bush or worse than wasting their vote by voting for jeb bush, are they helping donald trump continue his victories at 30% by now allowing the support to consolidate around other anti trump candidates. >> we mentioned cameron and marco rubio and ted cruz and their campaigns going back and forth. there's a little bit of a battle playing out between john kasich and jeb bush's campaigns this morning. john kasich, one of his chief campaign officials saying there is no way forward for jeb bush. but there is a way forward for kasich, because of what happened in new hampshire for kasich, beating expectations there. and in the meantime, jeb bush's head official came out and said that jeb bush is running -- is -- said that john kasich is running a zombie campaign, trying to win the vice presidential sweepstakes. that's where we're at. are either of them right? >> yeah, again, this is about a two or three-person contest. that conversation right now does not involve people like jeb bush, john kasich or ben carson, who we have not even mentioned. look, goin

ted cruz at 12%, jeb bush at 11%, marco rubio at 11% but just below jeb bush. ot democratic side also 50,000 vote advantage, bernie sanders in new hampshire got 60% of the vote to hillary clinton a very disappointing only 38% of the vote. a major setback for hillary clinton in new hampshire, but now it's on to south carolina. >> i want to go to south carolina with a focus group. >> hi there. we watched the results coming out of new hampshire with a group of about 65 undecided voters here, both democratic voters and republican voters and they all had in their hands this dial. right now it's on neutral and when they liked something they turned the dial up and when they didn't like something they turned the dial all the way down. so this was real time sentiment per second every second that they reacted we caught it and we saw what you might call an ekg line on the screen. when hillary clinton was speaking here on the democratic side, they really liked a few moments when she was talking about playing tough on wall street, they liked her talking about equal pay for

o jeb bush has a plan. i think in the end, there are some folks that are just going to respond to trump, tough guy, i guess so. but i think you saw tonight a guy that is calling g.w. bush a liar. i don't think that plays well. >> so as much as you're saying, as you said, that jeb bush is presidential, you think based on your analysis, and you've endorsed jeb bush, you think that donald trump hurt himself tonight? >> i just thought it was over the line. you have a guy that is attacking g.w. bush, defending planned parenthood, defending imminent domain, i don't think that sells well. it seems to be the issue that stays at the top of the google search. i'm curious. is jeb bush weak on that? as you heard, donald trump goes right at him on that issue. >> and again, trump's thing is we're going to throw 11 million people out. i don't think -- i have to tell you, i've seen polling on this issue. republicans doesn't support deporting 11 million people out of this country. they want someone to fix the problem, okay,

we saw jeb bush in new hampshire. likewise, a lot of energy leading up to the vote in new hampshire. he clearly thinks he has a new opportunity in this campaign to keep ongoing. he finished fourth and beat marco rubio there, his one-time protege. that's very big for his campaign. >> we have the audio back. let's dip back in. >> eight hurricanes and four tropical storms. you know what? because when there was a problem, i didn't blame fema. i didn't blame the president. i didn't say, the dog ate my homework. i ran to the challenge and we forged a consensus to solve it. there were no excuses. that's what we need in the presidency right now. we have a president who pushes us down all the time. if someone disagrees with him, it creates this gap and hillary clinton would do the same thing and so does donald trump. if you want someone with a servant's heart, someone who solves problems, someone focused on applying our conservative principles consistently, you're looking at the next president of the united states with your he

jeb bush wants to stop him. jeb bush, who has -- >> can jeb bush do it? that's the question everybody is asking as we enter south carolina. >> look, i don't think jeb bush has a way to be the republican nominee and i don't think if he could be the republican nominee it would be worth a nickel, because the party would hate him so much by the time he got there, i don't know that would work out. but could he stop marco rubio in south carolina? maybe. his brother is hitting the trail for him. jeb bush still has a lot of money. they could run a lot of attack ads on marco rubio and drag him out of the race. but rubio could come back. >> i just get confused. we're talking about these candidates trying to appeal to the evangelical voter and they're launching these attacks on each other. donald trump calling ted cruz a cheater. jeb bush a lightweight. i'm looking at tweets that have gone on today and it's not just donald trump. it's getting fiery in the state of south carolina. >> well, let's not blame south carolina for this, because it's sort of where we are in

often. >> jeb bush. >> jeb bush. this is something we're really interested in listening to? when you listen to john kasich, he has shocked everyone in the party because he jumped eight points in two days. now in second place. i'm going to tell you, you listen to the tenor of all the other candidates and all of a sudden their tenor softened. listen to donald trump today. he's talking about how we're going to come together. he's listening to what kasich is saying. he understands what kasich said is resonating. that's what i think america's going to start to understand. you gave him a chance yesterday. he shocked the media. he's had more time on the air. today mr. kasich has been on all day today and people are starting to hear the fact there is a candidate among all the continue of separatisseparatism. there's some wheat that's risen above the chafe and that's kasich. >> i hear you about preschool, the point remains the same. my question to you is why do you think the governors in this race, bush, christie, kasich, why

i want to go to jeb bush's headquarters. he's slightly behind ted cruz, 11% of the vote outstanding. what's been the reaction over there? >> hi. you heard say that the cruz campaign is happy with his third place, possibly fourth place finish in this race. the bush camp sees this as a win. they're in a fight right now for third place, they're painting this as a win given how far bush has come. he was written off and now he's back in the conversation and they believe he's in the best position to head into south carolina. they say they're well organized in that state. he should compete better with evangelicals than he did in new hampshire. he told me that the military population of voters in south carolina will be beneficial to bush who has laid out a plan for instance to defeat isis. they're excited about tonight. bush is on the plane to south carolina where he'll hold his first event tomorrow. they say that they're very well organized there. they've had a 20 plus staffers in the state and that they've made hundreds of thousan

jeb bush isn't afraid. jeb bush: "that is downright wrong..." he stands up to trump for his liberal democratic positions. calls out trump for insulting women, attacking the disabled... even trashing a decorated war hero. trump: "i like peoplethat weren't captured..." jeb bush: "john mccain is an american hero..." jeb bush. the better man. the real conservative. a commander in chief. right to rise usa quarterback peyton manning. manning was among several university of tennessee athletes named in a lawsuit filed by a group of women. the women say the school created a "hostile sexual environment" through a policy of indifference. manning was mentioned in an alleged incident from 1996 with a female athletic trainer. police investigated and manning was never charged. the trainer sued manning twice. both times, the cases were it's president's day, and it's not too late to take advantage of the first major sales holiday of the year. if you didn't get in on the deals over the weekend- you still have a chance. many retailers are having storewide sales to

jeb bush is basically out of this race. the challenge for donald trump is the rise of marco rubio and the rise of ted cruz. i mean if he wants to bloody someone, he should bow bloodying them. i think this reminds everyone of the fact that donald trump is petty and obnoxious and it doesn't do him any good. it seems he's been lured into a fight by jeb that serves him no purpose. >> what do you think, ron? >> i think donald trump gave you kind of a short, concise version of what is holding back so many republican voters from moving toward him, particularly among that white collar center right mainstream conservative. they simple low don't think he has the temperament to be president. i was in nashua south of here in manchester and that was the biggest concern they had about trump. having said that, post-new hampshire trump has a lane. he has blue collar support. cruz as the evangelical support. the big question going in is anyone going to consolidate that mainstream conservative white collar side and it looked like rubio had a

bush and he did it twice. >> rrrr, rrrrr. >> this is jeb bush's new noise. he has just unveiled it in the context of complaining about what it is like to debate donald trump. >> he doesn't stop talking. and i actually saw tapes, he just starts -- i mean it's not what he says, it's just the fact that he says it louder and louder and louder and you just have to keep talking through it. it's not a skill set i ever envisioned being necessary to aspire to the presidency of the united states. but i've gotten better at it. rrrr. >> jeb bush in south carolina complaining about the republican presidential front-runner, donald trump, but doing it obviously with good cheer. later, though, candidate jeb bush's mood had darkened considerably when he tried what i think was supposed to be a little humor on a crowd in somerville, south carolina. >> i know how to beat hillary clinton. i know how to win and i ask for your support on saturday. it's all been decided, apparently. the pundits have made it all -- it's all decided. we don't have to go vote, i guess, it's all finish

mark: he has a better chance of winning a state if jeb bush gets out. and now jeb bush. another family affair for the florida governor, who held campaign events with his mother, barbara. our man was at the event in greenville, when barbara brush arrived. >> mrs. bush, are you happy to be here? mrs. bush: thrilled. >> what are you going to say? mrs. bush: everything. i was here for my father's wedding. >> do you think we will see a surprise tomorrow? mrs. bush: i hope so. >> what do you think will happen? mrs. bush: i think he is by far, the best. john: and also to have two of -- also at that event were two of his brothers. both were optimistic about his chances. afterward, i cut up with the candidate himself. we had a chance to chat about family. a lot of love in your family. jeb bush: is that surprising? mark: it's not always the case with siblings. jeb bush: we love each other a lot. mark: how big is tomorrow? jeb bush: south carolina is important. it has always been important in running for president. certainly in my family, it has , been a big part of it. no question

hillary clinton and jeb bush. jeb bush is in deep trouble, you know, despite his fourth place finish and 11% in new hampshire or maybe because of it. and hillary clinton in that blowout in new hampshire. yes, it's a white state but it's liberal democrats and, you know, this is something that the clinton campaign, as i say, will have to focus on. i don't know what the solutions are but i sure know, to win in the general election, it is not enough just to attract minorities. you have to get, you know, 38, 39, 40% of the white vote if you're a democrat you want to win. >> i agree with what larry said but it means that she wouldn't be able to win the white vote in a general election. those are two different things. and i think they play a huge part in the vote last night. 30% of the voters were independents in the democratic primary and bernie sanders won 72% of those. so it's not entirely reflective of what the democratic party thinks. hillary clinton is leading in most of the national polls and many of the states co

it is not just jeb bush. >> did jeb underestimate donald trump? >> i don't think jeb underestimat donald trump, jeb just wouldn't get to donald trump's level, which is very different. and i think jeb had a very elegant campaign. he had a great campaign. it just wasn't enough for voters angry, who are looking for something so different, and he, you know, democracy is an amazing process. and in this democratic process, everybody has a voice and a vote. and those who chose to vote and unfortunately you're seeing that -- that not everybody who should be voting is voting in the primaries. nd you also see a growing number of independents in florida. you have this big voting bloc that is independent that unless they change to a republican or democratic c arty, they won't be voting on march 15th. you know, they're voting in a way that i think it is heart over head. and i think it is -- it is a fascinating time, also a dangerous time. >> let's talk about immigration, because, of course, governor jeb bush's stance is pro immigration ance. the contrary from

and rubio at 16, and jeb bush at 8%. that is for the folks that went to the polls seeking a change candidate that was donald trump. >> so, we're watching this battel for second place. this will keep our viewers here at least until 2:00, if not beyond. we do not know who came in second in south carolina. is it marco rubio? separated by a thousand votes give or take. what are voters saying in the exit polls about these two candidates? >> if you look at the numbers here, marco rubio is winning the category of looking for people of experience in politics. those voters that wanted the experience candidate went with rubio. bush at 14. kasich at 11. but ted cruz wins those voters that are looking for somebody who shares their values. so, if you went to the polls and the big candidate quality you were looking for is a candidate that shares your values, you were likely to be a cruz voter. cruz 34%. so, as you look at that battle, as the votes come in, it's sort of looking to see, well, did the shares my value notion win out the d

nicole: tight race for that spot, ted cruz is holding between governor jeb bush. and marco rubio. chris christie finishes in sixth place followed by carly fiorina and retired neurosurgeon ben carson. >> by tomorrow morning, tomorrow afternoon we should know what the vote count is indeed will allow us to make a decision about how we move from here in this race but no reason to sit in south carolina in a hotel room to hear that. nicole: for more on this, more from manchester, new hampshire in a few minutes. lauren: let's get you caught up on global market action, the japanese market open for business. to the tune of 2.3%. nicole: we have back-and-forth action inert going. if the decision is done, and the ftse isn't 1.3%. lauren: stock market futures higher by 150 points, as in the f-22, nasdaq features a 65. nicole: it is up $0.53, 120%, gold pull back. lauren: the future for the driverless car, right out of really's believe it or not a skier captures video of the yeti, the abominable snowman, we have that story coming up, you are watching "fbn a.m.," your first look at morning mark

jeb bush, he is bringing w. bush, his brother, on to the campaign trail on monday. he is someone that is very popular among republicans. still, even though earlier in the campaign you remember very well, jeb bush struggled to answer questions about the iraq war and his brother's position and his actions towards the war, and you know, someone like john kasich, it's interesting. he won new hampshire budget i think he's coming to south carolina knowing that because of his past actions on closing down military facilities, he gets that it's an uphill climb for limb him in a state where those issues are critically important. eight military bases in this state and that community is very, very influential. >> also influential, rhine, the evangelical vote? like iowa, but different. you have about half of the gop primary voters considering themselves to be evangelicals, but i thought it was interesting ahead of the republican party in south carolina came out and said, don't group them all together. the evangelical in our state differ from the north to the southern part of the

was jeb bush's biggest problem donald trump, marco rubio or jeb bush? ma margaret? >> i think c, jeb bush. frankly, it was the last part of the moniker, bush. part of it is that he was the third bush, and the republicans, frankly, americans are not so into the dynasties and by the time you fwoet third time around, the name bush was a drag on hill, and the other part is that he is the policy wonk that doesn't have the charisma that his brother had, and he is much more like his dad as a candidate who is frankly won it as reagan's third term rather than in his own right in the beginning, and so my view of it, jeb bush was asked a few days ago, what did you learn from jon meachum in the book that he wrote about your dad, and a wonderful biography, and he said, i learned how hard it hurt to lose in 1992. >> and being a bush was not an asset, but he was trying to run a campaign at ideals and ideas at a time when the fact is that it is much more about populism and financial. and so this is also about the last republican family, and the yankee loan stars, and the lee atwate

jeb bush, and he talked about how hard campaigning is, and maybe that's a reference to jeb bush. we reached out to the trump campaign to see if there is any reason or comment and we have not heard back yet. trump is focused, especially the last couple of days on mostly on cruz and also on rubio, and his comment earlier today, he said something about rubio being soft on immigration. he tried to brand ted cruz as a liar, and tonight he could have mentioned jeb, and this is a guy that never speaks, you know, with any prepared comments, maybe a few notes written down on the back of a piece of paper or something like that, and no specific mention and we don't know why. >> kasich is still in this case, the sole surviving governor. what does he do? >> he doesn't have a lot of cash, and i am talking about cash only. since the beginning of february, $1.5 million is what he picked up, and you put that against ted cruz or marco rubio, $13 million, so he needs more >> if he needs it, he might be able to get that. i see people, as they see the field thinning out, he could get some. >> they ar

jeb bush is fourth and other candidates are slaugiogging thr the new hampshire snow and jeb bush's mother hitting the campaign trail, trump was stuck in new york city after flying back home in his private jet. the democrats are throwing off enough heat to melt all that snow. they slugged it out in a fiery debate and hillary clinton tries to gain ground in new hampshire, as she sees her national lead shrinking dramatically. she's gone on the attack accusing bernie sanders are smear tactics. >>> and we're getting chilling new details on the explosion aboard a somali airliner. investigators now suspect the man blown out of the plane was the bomber and carried a laptop computer packed with military-grade explosives. our correspondents, analysts and guests will have full coverage of all the day's top stories. with donald trump trapped in new york the other candidates had the snow-covered campaign trail to themselves today but it's stuff sledding out there. jim acosta is following the republican field. jim, what's the very latest? >> reporter: wolf, with just four days to go till the new hampsh

plus, jeb bush is out. we'll have more on that in a moment. >>> first, in the state of nevada, hillary clinton picked up almost 53% of the vote there. bernie sanders at 47%. in the state of south carolina, the primary there, donald trump finished with a 10% lead over his closest competitors, kris sanchez whi-- clinching a littl more than 32%. marco rubio got 22.5% and ted cruz, 22.3%. hillary clinton is in texas. hours after her win in nevada. before heading south, clinton game an emotional victory speech there. she mentioned the need for more middle-class jobs, for reforming the criminal justice system, and equal pay. the front-runner also took jabs at bernie sanders whom she calls a single-issue candidate. brianna keilar reports. >>> thank you, nevada! >> reporter: hillary clinton with a decisive win in nevada. what many of her top aides have decided is the best day of her campaign since she declared last april. and besting bernie sanders in a state where she really thought she might not be able to. she s

at the end of the day jeb bush has to sell jeb bush. voters have to ultimately believe in him and he's going to make the country better. while the endorsements are nice to have, and while rallies motivate your base supporters, it's not the deciding factor in an election like this. charles: do you think at some point we'll start to see the campaigns shift toward the substance what the next president is going to do? >> of course, it's early in the process. with regard to what's happening with ted and donald trump, they are trying to point out he's using tactics that are not usually used. with ben carson it draws into question his credibility. when you call someone a liar it gives people a chance to look differently at you. i think they accomplished that goal. charles: i understand where you are coming from. hopefully we are past that point. at the source tum, tum, tum, tum smoothies! only from tums ♪ >> more on the race to the white house back with the panel. jillian, w talked about humanity, do you think that might be the thing that st

was it a, jeb bush. b, john kasich. c, marco rubio or d, ted cruz. >> as much as jeb wanted it, it went to his florida colleague, marco rubio. >> did mark get that one right? >> let's check. >> naturally, nikki haley did not endorse jeb bush but did endorse marco rubio. >> the answer is c. >> never talk about the value of an endorsement you don't yet have. a lesson we all learned from jeb bush this week. question two, on wednesday we reported that presidential hopefuls did a pitch perfect job of keeping expectations nice and low for his performance this weekend in south carolina primary. which of the following things did the governor say about how he will do in south carolina. a, a three-way split. b one vote is a victory, c, better than a fifth or d, i think we'll do better than a squat. >> it was race up from the bottom. he named a number. i think he said better than squat. >> is squat the appropriate answer here? >> let's check wednesday's segment. >> i don't think people expected me to do squat. i think we'll do bet

between marco rubio and jeb bush, jeb bush is best prepared to be commander in chief on day one, iraq and afghanistan 36 times, 33 years in the air force, i feel comfortable, he has been tested, he has been a crisis manager. at the end of the day he has the judgment, background and experience better than marco rubio but having said that marco rubio is better than hillary clinton, bernie sanders, people of south carolina will look to someone they think is the most conservative and electable and jeb bush has one hell of a resonates -- resume in doing difficult things. bill: what the memo said about donald trump, jeb, remains the only republican candidate willing to take on donald trump and willing to stand up for conservative values. i do believe ted cruz would take exception to those points. >> i can tell you is this, donald trump did well in new hampshire. he is a disaster for the republican party, he is not a tried and true republican, and background and experience is ill suited along with temperament to be president of the united states. we are in a war we cannot afford to lose, don

jeb bush wants to stop him. jeb bush, who has -- >> can jeb bush do it? that's the question everybody is asking as we enter south carolina. >> look, i don't think jeb bush has a way to be the republican nominee and i don't think if he could be the republican nominee it would be worth a nickel, because the party would hate him so much by the time he got there, i don't know that would work out. but could he stop marco rubio in south carolina?his brother is hl for him. jeb bush still has a lot of money. they could run a lot of attack ads on marco rubio and drag him out of the race. but rubio could come back. >> i just get confused. we're talking about these candidates trying to appeal to the evangelical voter and they're launching these attacks on each other. donald trump calling ted cruz a cheater. jeb bush a lightweight. i'm looking at tweets that have gone on today and it's not just donald trump. it's getting fiery in the state of south carolina. >> well, let's not blame south carolina for this, because it's sort of where we are in the race. the ads that

jeb bush isn't afraid. jeb bush: "that is downright wrong..." he stands up to trump for his liberal democratic positions. calls out trump for insulting women, attacking the disabled... even trashing a decorated war hero. trump: "i like peoplethat weren't captured..." jeb bush: "john mccain is an american hero..." jeb bush. the better man. the real conservative. a commander in chief. right to rise usa season... with a win monday at tennessee. i would imagine it would feel great to accomplish that... against the former conference power. usc... seems to be running the show now in the sec. carolina's quest to maintain its dominance in the league requires tremendous focus. the second ranked gamecocks won't discuss what a win in knoxville means for instead... it's all about playing well in tennessee... where usc's only one once in program history. staley: "history says we haven't done well playing in knoxville. our team has done a great job at being the top team in this conference. we're going to go in pretty confident that if we play our style of pla

john kasich, jeb bush especially. so i wouldn't be surprised if they start to go after him a little bit more heading into south carolina. i also think that chris christie, his results last night he said he's going to think about what the next steps are, but the writing on the wall doesn't look good for him. >> he says that he has a flight and he's gone home to new jersey to talk about it with his wife, but says he has a flight scheduled for south carolina and he's going. what are your redirections for south carolina. >> i think donald trump is well positioned in that state so far, but i also think that jeb bush who has the endorsement of lindsey graham who has been campaigning around the state, jeb bush has built up a pretty significant operation in south carolina, i think they're well positioned. i think that marco rubio has focussed a lot on south carolina as well so there is the potential there. south carolina is a very different state from new hampshire besides geographically. it's a bigger state. the media market
