Said i was his friend, terrific, he won iowa. Suddenly every day he comes out with a new attack. I can tell you ted has been very calculated, not just on immigration, but budgeted issues. No, im not going to be a pin pusher. Somebody wants to attack me, im not going to sit there and take it. Wall street should never be allowed to wreck me again. I am fought candidate issue. We are not a single candidate country. Does wall street make Huge Campaign contributions . Plus that adult film actress in the ted cruz ad, hearing from her for the first time. I do identify myself as the conservative republican. I knew it was something i could get behind and support. Theres more to this story. We will get her reaction. Lets begin with a snapshot of where the candidates are today. Hillary clinton is headed to the west coast for a stop in nevada. It is the next state scheduled for saturday the 20th. The latest polls show a dead heat in that state between clinton and Bernie Sanders. Meanwhile, sanders will hold a rally in colorado right before he and clinton speak at the Democratic Partys annual dinner in denver. Now, on the republican side, only two candidates are out on the campaign trail today, jeb bush and john kasich. Both of them in South Carolina. Thats because theyre all getting ready for a debate tonight in 14 victim. It is their ninth one and last before next saturdays republican primary. At a rally in tampa, florida, donald trump threw jabs at just about every one of rivals without mentioning him by name, heres what he said about Bernie Sanders. I never thought id see the day in our country when communists, is the leading democrat. We will have a communist and i like the entrepreneur. Go it is a crucial weekend for both parties. We have reporters following all the candidates. Nbc Halle Jackson is in green victim, South Carolina. Kelly kobiaya is in london, with report for universal health care. Nbc Kelly Odonnell is at the white house, my colleague Thomas Roberts is at the liberty tap room, with a good morning to you all. Lets start with you, thomas, what has been the gop debate . It is a big gop debate. Everybody is an open primary. South carolina loves their politics. This state delivers a win for 2012. Jeb bush out of New Hampshire feeling as if he has a little more kchdz in his game, especially with the bush name. The popularity of his family here. For the 63rd birthday, it was announced his brother would be here with him on monday in charleston, the first time weve ever seen the former president out on the campaign. Take a listen. The fact that you are ruling to have your brother come out and campaign with you. Is that a signal in your campaign is willing to embrace what your last name means politically. I never had this problem you all thought i have. I loved my brother. Its a part of who i am. I have a record i share, of course as governor of the state of florida. I am focused on the detailed plans i laid out to keep our economy up and keep us strong. So my brother will be a part of that story. I am proud he is coming. This is the first time hes kind of stepped out in the political realm. I think there will be a lot of interest in what he has to say. I know there is love going between jeb and donald trump. Jeb is really wanting donald trump to go after his brother. If he does, because of his popularity here in this state. He said in a radio interview, this is the governor, jeb bush saying he expects his brother not to be critical of everyone. He is there to talk about his virtues why he is the one with the steady hand who can be the president. He said his brother is the only one who knows what its like to do that. And he feels really confident about coming out on the campaign trail. Jeb bush has the deepest bench of formers with his parents being both the former first president , george h. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush that came out in New Hampshire. Hes got his brother george, his sisterinlaw, former first lady and jeb being the first son, himself, there is a deep family members from here on out. You are right about the popularity of bush, 43, however you want to distinguish him from his father. Kate dawson did a private poll. He comes in at a whopping 84 popularity in that state. He is right up there with the popular governor nikki haly and others. It will be interesting to see what effect he has. Also, were going to have you back, thomas, i know you spoke with some young voters there. I want to hear their take on the campaign. Ill have you back in a bit. Dont go anywhere. Appreciate it. Paul singer is joining me now. Palm, we talked about the popularity there. You heard the numbers with the former president in South Carolina. Of course, he won the 2000 primary. Goes on to win the states general election in 2000 and 04. Do you think this is the only state we can expect to see w campaigning for his brother . No, i doubt i. Remember march 1st there is a whole sweep across the states, alabama, arkansas, texas. Some of those i think the bush name will ring very strong, particularly george w. Bush, of course, texas is basically headquarters for the bush family while ted cruz, obviously, is a texan. I think you could see bushes out beating the bushes for votes in texas. George w. Bush has already done fundraisers for jeb in arkansas. So i think you will see them salted around here through some of the southern primaries. They could make a serious contribution. At the moment its South Carolina or bust. He has to do well there before we start looking for the next place to go. Who dujs u do you think stands most to win, the most to lose . Marco rubio did well. He basically said he apologized for it after his New Hampshire show in the primary. We will see if we see a more unchained marco rubio released from his talking point. Without chris christie, we pay see a little more battle between jeb and marco. We know their relationship has really frayed. I think rubio is a guy that has to prove he can get past his talking points. I will ask you a few more questions. Thanks for sticking around for that. Lets go around to the preparations for tonights debate. Reporter in front of a rowdy florida crowd, jeb bush taking aim at bush. Hes a gutless guy. Online, a different target. As trump warns ted cruz on twitter, if he doesnt quote clean up his act, stop cheating and doing negative ads, trump will sue him for fought being a natural born citizen. There is more than a little irony in donald accusing anyone of being nasty, given the amazing torrent of insults and obscenities and vulgaritys that come out of his mouth. Cruz and trump battling to win over evangelicals. This new one on trump from illegal immigration. His killer an illegal gang member that just got out of prison. This one from cruz, not a republican rival. But Hillary Clinton. Whats the latest bat on file . The ad swoopoofs the movie office space. Maybe you should vote for more than a pretty face next tim time . They have a more colorful film history than we were aware. That actress, the star of several adult movies who now says shes not no hard feelings. I have no ill will against ted cruz, he has a job to do. Im a middle class working girl. I have a job to do. The job tonight from marco rubio prove he can pan back from his debate performance in New Hampshire. Rubio says hes ready. I think we have to have some perspective here. I have one answer i would have done differently. The next debate is as good as anyone we ever had. Reporter a Rubio Campaign says he is eager for tonight. He is ready to take on attacks directly. He will probably be in the line of fire. Watch for jeb bush to land some punches, too, he is looking for a South Carolina comeback. John kasich hopes to keep up momentum after that second place finish. His tactic is a little different. Alex, he is locking to stay positive and above the fray. Do you get a sense it is john kasich or there are others with wind at their back . Reporter i think there may be others with the win at their back, jeb bush, the bushes have done well in South Carolina. Bush has his brother, former president george w. Bush coming out on the cane trail for him on monday in South Carolina. Marco rubio is hoping not no give up the momentum game either after that disappointing finish for him in New Hampshire. He is looking to crowd out the others in the establishment lane. Then, of course, donald trump and head cruz, the two probably at the top of the standings. We havent seen much reliable pollings since New Hampshire. Few look at what we saw the numbers in january, both of them are sort of right up there and both of them will be taking it to each other, too. Halle jackson in green victim. Thank you so much. A lot more to come to you this morning. We will talk to a pomster in South Carolina about who stands to fwan the most in tonights debate and plus who is making the best impression so far. A little later, speaking with Gregory Meeks t. Chair of the congressionalt path that endorsed Hillary Clinton this week. I will get his reaction and Harry Belafonte endorsing Bernie Sanders. Why former secretary of state mad len albright today Madeleine Albright is back tracking about someone going to and who is listening. We have to move all pints towards republican side and theyre not say wag we want to hear. Theyre not talking mass incarceration. Theyre not talking about the high cost of education. And theyre not talking about the black lives matter, something is that we really want to address. From to the white house now where president obama is still a big talking point for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders after thursdays debate. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell is there. My friend, what are all the candidates saying . Reporter as can you imagine, when you are talking about president obama and competing in a democratic primary, different states, different equipmencys have a different relationship with the president. Hillary clinton is certainly setting herself apart, trying to say she is the most certain legacy of president obama. Now, Bernie Sanders is also trying to make sure he doesnt alienate voters also feeling good about president obama. So its not the wider perceptions of the president. Its about narrow packets of the Democratic Party, different groups who really respond differently. So in, they were out on the campaign trail in minnesota and speaking separately to a very Traditional Democratic party group. That is an annual event the humphrey mon dale dinner. Thats for the states two Vice President s, humphrey and mon dale. You can see how they address things. Both did their standard stump message. When it comes to Bernie Sanders, he knows the history of minnesota, often voting for more liberal candidates. Hillary clinton is trying to identify with those voters who really feel a connection with president obama. When you listen to these two clips of their speeches, you will get a chens of how they address the president differently. We have got to be honest and to act knowledge, we still have a very, very long way to go to create the nation that i know all of us believe we can create. I think millions of americans are better off. Because of his presidency. So i, yes, will build on the progress he makes because i am a progressive who absolutely likes to make progress. And in thapd Bernie Sanders clip, he had just been saying there is a lot accomplished during the time of the obama biden administration, especially within it comes to coming back from such a difficult time in the economy. But a difference there and its one that will be noted by many democratic voters. Now today, they will spend time in nevada and that state has caucuses next weekend and this is another area with a strong labor population. Many minority communities. It will be a different kind of test after these two first contests in which Bernie Sanders won very big in New Hampshire and Hillary Clinton narrowly beat out sanders in the iowa caucuses. How important is nevada . Hillary clinton is clearing her schedule for monday to spend more time in the state. Shes going to ask her husband, former president bill clinton to handle three fund raisers they had on tap in florida. So she can have more time in nevada. Bernie sanders will be there, too. Alex. Thank you for the run down. Much appreciated. Join me once again as promised. Thomas, i know you spoke with a grownup of students there at the university of South Carolina, i like to refer to as the other usc, just saying. What is weighing on their minds this Election Year . Reporter alex, you know best as a parent to college age kids, there is a message out there that is getting their attention. We want to talk about that in a second. But from everything to Marriage Equality to isis to immigration and a womans right to choose, this was a collective body of kids that have an idea. Most of them are voting for the first time. So we started out, though, with the issue of Bernie Sanders policy idea of Free Public College tuition. Take a listen. Free college, sounds like a great deal. But lets look at the fact. Its going to cost money, right . Who will pay for it . We have to raise taxes. Its a delusion. There is no way to pay for it. You think this building is free . I dont think its fair you tell someone because they dont sister money to pay for college they cant succeed in life. There is a perception from other folks about your reality. I have been asked some of the oddest questions that no one of another nationality or race have been asked. For example, i have been asked, oh, did you get a scholarship to come here. I actually didnt. Why would you assume i did. I have been asked, oh, is your dad in a home . I have asked that. I have to tell people my parents have been married 22 years, im 20. That shocked many etoo no end. Im so sorry. I am not white. I am not black, but even so, i have never been asked anything like that. The American Dream, is it dead . Its not dead. But there are more obstacles to overcome. With that, the American Dream is more motivation to achieve that dream. For some people i think it is definitely changed more obstacles, but im optimistic . Yeah, the whole idea of the American Dream is slowly fading away. In our culture these days and just like donald trump says, were making America Great again. We will evolve with the times. The American Dream for some is on its knees. A lot of us up here, we have a Strong Foundation. Thats why we are here, we have parents that back them. For a lot, i would say the majority of our nation, they dont have that Strong Foundation to bounce off of. Reporter so alex, we see there this collection of young folks going to college, again, between the ages of 18 and 21. The majority of them are first time voters. And it was a different opinion around the room where we had a rubio supporter, a bush supporter, a bernie supporter, a trump supporter. A hillary support and a cruz supporter. The young lady you saw there, aleah singleton, a policy maker, who spoke about the odd questions she gets on that campus. I have to admit the other students were completely horrified when she admitted some of the experiences of the questions she has had to face. Each and every one of those students offered her an apology and said i know this is not what we said to you, but we want to apologize on behalf of these other folks that have asked you these questions. It was a great group. They all left as friendsch they all feel passionately and opinionated about the candidate of their choice. It was amazing to get them together and talk about their ythsz ideas. They were also well read in. I thank them for their time. They gave us a fascinating look at where the youth vote is going . They were fantastic. All of them. Their individual points. I know you will bring more to the interview to the broadcast the next hour. Your own broadcast. Its really good, very, very fascinating. I was listening intently. The soft core porn actress on the ad pulled featuring her. Does she have ill will towards ted cruz . Guaranteed health care to all. At what cost . Next a reality check from europe. All right. Lets bring paul singer back. The walling correspondent for usa today. Palm, lets talk about the Cruz Campaign to pull the ad on a woman whose acting history was in soft porn. Heres her reaction. This is politics as usual. It was done in a snap moment. Someones got to make a decision. I have no ill will against ted cruz right now. Hes got a job to do. Im a middle class working gimpl i had a job to do. Is this as she said so he doesnt lose support from evangelical christians . There is so you can put on our headline soft core porn. People click on that stuff. Of course, you know, you could make an argue that a Campaign Like ted cruz should see this womans story as an insp
