Eporter the state w wl be the first test of their appeal to minority voters. Nevada is more than a quarter latino. Clinton has tried to blunt sanders momentum here by portraying him as one dimensional, focused only on income inequality. What do you think of secretary clinton cawlingsgs you a oneissue candidate . Obviously, she has not been listening to my how far and a half speech. Reporter both are campaigning with one eye on the larger South Carolina primary democrats will hold a week from tomorrow. She worked to reform juvenile justice in South Carolina, exposed racism in alabama schools. Repepter clinton released a new ad today narrated by endorsement of the highest ranking African American in congress, South Carolinas james clyburn. And i believe that the future of the Democratic Party and the United States of america will be best served with the experiences and knowhow of Hillary Clinton as our 45th president. Reporter clyburn had been planning to remain publicly neutral in the primary, but he changed his mind, scott, after sanders trounced clinton in New Hampshire and pulled even with her here in nevada. Pelley the nevada vote tomorrow. Nancy cordes, thanks very much. Today, Major Garrett talked with nald trump and asked him t same queueion that we asked clclton yesterday, does he subscribe to the truthtelling standard that jimmy carter set in the 1976 campaign when he said, i will never lie to you . I would be very, very satisfied just to say i dont lie, and, you know, she sort of fudged it a little bit. Understood what she was saying. I would much r rher say i dont e. You know, one of my problems is im straight. I tell it straight. I tell it like it is. Reporter we interviewed donald trump before a noon rally in myrtle beach. The crowd of more than 5,000 began arriving at 6 00 a. M. Do you ever worry if youre elected president ,ul let them down . I will be so disappointed in myself. There are so many things to do. O. Our countnt is so far behind. We owe 19 trillion. Were going to start chopping away at that. No, i dont want to let those people down. Reporter do you feel that as a burden, though, if you become president . Its a burden. It makes it tougher for me. I dont want to let these people down. Reporter a day after calling the pope disgraceful, trump s stened hisis tone. W wl, i think he was in a not as severe as the media let it known. But this morning he was so nice and i really appreciate it. Reporter is this an issue in anyway, illegal immigration. Look, mexico is ripping off this country, theyre ripping us off b bween the druru trade and the illegal immiation and they said to the pope something and he went out with it. But he didnt know the United States stand. He didnt know where we are or our people but he was terrific. Reporter we also asked about a september 2002 radio where trump said he backed the war with iraq despite saying the opposite on the campaign trail. You could see t tt was a very weak, like that w w theirst person that ever asked me about the war. Un, im a businessperson, so theyre not asking me about the war. Then shortly after that, i started saying i started really studying it and looking at it. I didnt like it because youre going to ruin in the balance in the middle east, which is what happened. Reporter trump also said he does not believe the most recent poll here showing the race tritenini with ted cruz. Scott, trump said he expects to win and if the republican field shrinks in the aftermath intends to pick up a good portion of the pelley and the vote in South Carolina is tomorrow, as well. That poll major mentioned shows trump with only a fivepoint lead over cruz, but other polls show a wider margin for trump. So the real battle is for second place, the trump alternative. And with some insight into that, John Dickerson is joining us, the anchor of face the nation. John. Scott, ted cruz has been second in the polls to be the first trump alternative. And the electorate in South Carolina looks like iowa, state where he won,ith about the same number of p pple who identify as very conservative and evangelical christians. Marco rubio, trying to come in second after his fifthplace finish in New Hampshire, needs either to come in second or to come in a close third to make his case that hes the mainstream answer to donald trump. For jeb bush and ben carson, this is a makeorbrere. Bush brougug out his mother and his brother to campaign for him this week, and if he has a will start to come down. Thats true, also, for carson. John kasich is not expected to do well. His game plan relies on midwestern states like michigan. He just has to hope his rivals dont do too welel in South Carolina which would make it hard for him to stay inhe conversation. Pelley the winnowing continues. Thank you.

Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me.
