CNNW CNN Newsroom With Carol Costello February 10, 2016

California. Can clinton turn the page and capitalize in the south and west . It is whether you get back up. Lets talk, live in the cnn newsroom. And good morning. Im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. Anger wins in New Hampshire. Who would have thought a billionaire businessman and a democratic socialist would win and win big . You tell me that its evolution well you know donald trump celebrating victory to the tune of the beats revolution. We are going to start winning again. And we are going to win so much you are going to be so happy. We are going to make america so great again. Maybe greater than ever before. A tonight we head to South Carolina and we will move through South Carolina all across the country. And well end up in the midwest. And you just wait. Let me tell you, there is so much going to happen. If you dont have a seat belt, go get one. And buckle up if you are democrat. Bernie sanders riding a surge of fed up voters and cruising to a win over Hillary Clinton. It is just too late for the same old, same old establishment politics and establishment economics. The people want real change. And here is what were going to do. Now we take this campaign to the entire country. We are going to fight for every vote in every state. Cnns sarah murray is covering the republican race. Jeff zeleny the democrats and hugh hut looks at the message rippling throw the mainstream. There are some who didnt believe donald trump would win a single state. Once again trump shattered expectations not only winning New Hampshire but winning decisively. New hampshire, i want to thank you. We love you. Were going to be back a lot. Were not going to forget you. You started it. Donald trump exhilarated after crushing his gop rivals by more than 50 thousand votes . We are going to make america so great again, maybe greater than ever before. Boasting amid record republican turnout about how he pulled off his big win after a disappointing loss in iowa. I think the ground game was very strong. And ill tell you we really focused on it after iowa. The ground game was not something i was extremely familiar with but i learn quickly. The other big winner . John kasich. Kasich taking pride in running a positive campaign in a field of sharp elbows. Tonight the light over came the darkness of negative campaigning. Meanwhile the winner of the Iowa Caucuses ted cruz in a dead heat for third with jeb bush. This campaign is not dead. Were going on to South Carolina. As marco rubio suffered a bruising fifth place finish. I know many people disappointed. Im disappointed with tonight. Even admitting his rocky debate performance was likely to blame. Our disappoint tonight is not on you. It is on me. It is on me. I did not i did not do well on saturday night so listen to this. That will never happen again. Now john kasich really pinned his hopes on New Hampshire. He held 106 town halls there. Spent 62 days in the state and it ended up paying off for him. He told he was not surprised by the strong finish. You know, i was very calm about it. I sort of felt we were going to be in second place. I heard earlier that, you know, there was some word that we were going to be there. And when i traveled around to the polling places it was pretty clear. I was running into everybody and they were like yeah we really like you and all that stuff. So, you know, im gratified by it for sure. But i wouldnt say i was shocked by it. Saying that you are going weaken the military. Are you prepared for the incoming fire that is going to come your way now that you have landed a second place finish . Well i think they have spent about 120 million so far. And i dont know. Somebody said as much as 50 million in New Hampshire. I mean they ought to get this thing figured out at some point. I mean, they are spending so much money. Yob whos advising them. But i think thats kind of silly. I dont know whos advisi them. But i think thats kind of silly. What do we think the Bush Campaign spent against me the . They spent seven or eight. There was four million spent by another super pac. That was 12. Rubio spent money against me. Another million and a half. I think thats like 15 million of direct hits and that doesnt even count the mail pieces. And we beat everybody, except trump. Who never attacked me. So i know we cant just go through this like falling off a turnip truck and saying that everythings just going to be positive. Because im gonna have to respond to some of this stuff. But im starting to really think were on to something. Im starting to really think that the positive nature of a campaign can be very effective. Im starting to think it could be true. Now kasich says he still wants to run this sunny and optimistic campaign. But he and his advisors know politics can get a little more rough and tumble down here and they say they are prepared to push back against any attacks that come their way. Well see. For mainstream republicans though, despite kasichs second place finish the race for the white house is still as muddled as ever with no real momentum and no realali alternative to donald trump. That leaves Establishment Republicans fighting amongst themselves. And with three weeks to go until super tuesday the one thing you can count on is that the race will get even nastier among Establishment Republicans. I want to bring in conservative radio talk show host hugh hewitt. Should he feel that optimistic, kasich . Yes. The happy warrior. Hes my governor. Hes won 14 or 15 elections. Hes only lost one before. He know this is game. John swooefr a very competent ald vierz. Hes going to be. Donald trump won big last night. Hes not going anywhere. Ted cruz won big last night and they are going to fight a knife fight. It was described on my show last night as the knife fight in a phone booth. Because you have donald trump versus ted cruz and you have jeb bush versus marco rubio. And john kasich is standing over here, the happy warrior, not having to get down into the mud here. I dont know. So i think an open convention in cleveland hes not going to do it. Ive known him a long time. He will not do that. Im talking about jeb bush. Jeb bush was on new day this morning and guess who he talked about. That would be john kasich. Lets listen. I commend him for his election. He worked hard in New Hampshire and came second. But he has nothing going on down here. He has no tangible support. Weve been building an organization here. Hes a hes been a capable governor for sure. Im the most conservative, capable governor in the field. And here in South Carolina they generally support the most conservative candidate that can win. And i think thats me. So here is the thing hugh. John kasich doesnt have the money. Hes out of money, right . Jeb bush still has lots and lots of money. You heard jeb bush say hes the most conservative candidate and rub on he could be the John Huntsman of this campaign. Hes not John Huntsman. The idea that john kasich is a moderate is laughable. He was a budget hawk who killed the b one. Jeb bush is going after him on the military side and being a budget hawk and the guys been out passing the constitutional amendment on the balanced budget. Im neutral in this. Im a switzerland person. But jeb bush is going fight very hard. Each of the previous bush candidacies had a moment of crisis where at water first advised 41 and then 43. And bush is going to fight very hard. Marco rubio is going fight slard. Donald trump is a brawler. And ted cruz hassed a good a group as anyone in the race. But john kasich is. So the five tickets out make for a wonderful explore Tory Committee into where the Republican Party want to go because they can win the white house carol. The bottom line i took away from last night is the democrats are trapped between an unwinnable but likable Bernie Sanders. And an unlikable and unwinnable Hillary Clinton. I mean, the honest factor was so high in the exits last night. So i think it is the republicans to lose the white house and that this process is going to be very useful in finding the person whos going to win that white house and not lose that race. All right hugh, thanks for your analysis. Always insightful. Thank you. No signs of a coin toss here. Bernie sanders the decided victor in the New Hampshire primary beating Hillary Clinton when it came to Younger Voters, female voters. First time voters in every shade of democratic ideology. And this morning sanders is courting the vote me may be falling short on, that would be African Americans. Meeting with al sharpton in a few minutes. More on that in a minute but first jeff zeleny is in New Hampshire. Good morning. Reporter as snowfalls here in New Hampshire a new bit of perspective on the race. It is a new day for Bernie Sanders in this campaign. He has raised 2. 6 million last night in four hours alone after the polls closed here. That worries the Clinton Campaign the most. They know this race is now on and it is going to be a long one. A victory lap for Bernie Sanders. The people of New Hampshire have sent a profound message to the political establishment. To the economic establishment. And by the way, to the media establishment. Reporter in a profound message to Hillary Clinton whos no longer the undisputed Democratic Front runner. A commanding across the board win for sanders among women, young voters and independents. Riding a wave of discontent at politics as usual. The people want real change. Reporter the Clinton Campaign predicted a loss and got one. Even bigger than they feared. Supporters masked frustration with cheers. My goodness. I i i dont know what wed have done tonight if wed actually won. Sanders will draw more scrutiny as the battle with clinton intensifies. They are throwing everything at me except the kitchen sink and i have the feeling that kitchen sink is coming pretty soon. As the race moves to nevada and South Carolina, sanders vowed to build on his growing movement but it is ab open question whether he can find the same appeal in a diverse electorate of black and hispanic voters. What began last week in iowa, what voters here in New Hampshire confirm tonight is nothing short of the beginning of a political revolution. A humbling and frustrating moment for clinton. But she made clear shes been down that road before. I know ive had a blessed life. But i also know what it is like to stumble and fall. And weve learned it is not whether you get knocked down that matters. It is whether you get back up. And carol, for secretary clinton. It must seem like ground hogs day. Shes going to have to go through this again to see if she can build back up. One thing against her here is that shes lost a lot of the core base of the Democratic Party. She will have to build that back. But the complex of this democratic primary is about to change considerably. In nevada and South Carolina and in march. So many contests here. Thank you jeff. Coming up tomorrow Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders face off in the pbs news hour democratic president ial debate on cnn. Thursday night 9 00 p. M. Eastern. Also still to come, Bernie Sanders might have been nailing shots and a win last night but South Carolina, that could be a completely different game. ray id like to see more of the old lady.

The democratic candidate is to meet with the reverend al sharpton for breakfast in harlem. And if this all sounds familiar to you. This might be why. It is the very same spot sharpton met barack obama in the 2008 campaign. There with more, good morning. And good morning. That meeting is supposed to get under way about 9 30, right here at sylvias restaurant. An iconic spot. The meeting is supposed to take place for about 20 or 30 minutes. A number of people gathered out front right now waiting for sabds to show unders to show up. Doing all he can to try and woo African American and latino voters. Clinton is out polling him and out pacing him so far heading into the nevada and South Carolina. And an endorsement from the reverend al sharpton would definitely be a, would be a huge push for sanders coming out of that huge win in New Hampshire. When we were talking to voters out here earlier today we were hearing from a number of them saying that, you know, this is clinton county. It may be harlem but they also call it clinton county. She has a lot of support here. But that was among a lot of the older voters i was speaking to. I was speaking to younger vote who are say they would definitely put their support behind sanders. They may have some sort of a generational divide here in harlem as well. Al sharpton has made it clear that whether it is clinton or whether it is sanders. Do not take the African American or latino vote for granted. Show us how many people are there waiting. A lot of people. Because as you know sanders is gaining popularity in places like harlem. Especially with younger people. So not surprising that a number of again, an iconic spot here. It is going to be interesting to see how that meeting goes. I was hoping that you would move the camera but maybe you are in a place where you cant do that. Just so we could see the line. As you can see here carol, yeah what you are looking at really is press. It is not a line of folks out here. Yeah this is the press that is coming out here to see sanders and clinton. As people come by and stop and see what is going on, they are weighing in on whats happening here. And what i found to be interesting is while clinton clearly has a lot of support among older African Americans who are dedicated to her, among younger African Americans at least here in harlem, there seems to be some support for sanders. Jason carol live from harlem this morning thank you. Of course this is a reason sanders is wasting no time courting black voters. He needs them to win South Carolina but can he . New hampshire voters felt the bern in part because twothirds of voters identify as politically liberal and the vast majority of those voters in New Hampshire are white. With me now cnn political commentator, and a political director and anchor for New Hampshire one news. Welcome both of you. Good to be here. Nice to have you both here. So sanders asked for donetation in his acceptance speech. And the website struggled to keep up. How widespread do you think sanders support is . It is pretty widespread, carol. You look at the results here in New Hampshire. He won look at the exit polls. He won every demographic. The only one Hillary Clinton won were voters over 65. This was not just a victory for Bernie Sanders and New Hampshire. It was a trouncing overwhelming victory. It points to a lot of problems for Hillary Clinton and it points to sanders appeal and not just because the state is white. Its because hes on hes winning the issu
