Certainly, the oldest canada at 74. That is the storyline. In momentum going tonight supporters waiting to see if they can truly celebrate and feel the burn at the holiday inn. The sanders campaign, the caucus coverage continues now. From whotv, the place for politics, this is a special edition of channel 13 news at ten, the Iowa Caucuses. Welcome back come everyone to the special caucus like coverage at channel 13 news and dan you have been sitting out here since up in oclock tonight, i think we started out for clock, but welcome to all of you watching around the world whotv. Com, it kick off a few things that have happened senator ted crews declared the winner for the republicans marco rubio running strong third and donald trump we have heard his speech from him and rubio donald trump in second place. Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton running neck and neck tonight. Get us updated on the republican numbers. We have ted cruz in front 28 percent for a couple of hours now. Trump four points behind, then the story of the night really marco rubio, thirdplace coming up 23 percent of the boat so far which puts him as mike mentioned several times eight points out ahead of where i will pull put him released over the we can. Other news out of the republican side of things governor Mike Huckabee dropping out of the race and we purred now from giving their speeches for the governor huckabee for running and that will be interesting to see where his support goes now, on the democratic side Martin Omalley suspended his campaign as well. Just hearing from the executive producer Iowa Republican party come a record shattering 180,000 republicans have taken part in the 2016 Iowa Caucuses. That is incredible in new record of candidates. Insiders waiting in the wings. But i think that is a tremendous turnout. That is good for the party. Way have said all along but we need is a good turnout. In listen, everybody thought it was trump but its not senator cruz and donald trump the marco rubio closer to trump. Then trump is to cruz. We have been looking at the night, the computers, but regardless every time we look at dr. Ben carson. Lets. Stay out of this one. Right around 10 percent the entire evening but what do you predict happens with him coming out of here. I think he stays in for a period of time. People like ben carson and he has an extraordinary story but i think what happened to ben carson him a few months ago, talked about think the top three but i think what happened among other things, paris in san bernardino, dont think that help plus a very mildmannered personality that maybe does not serve him quite as well in this rambunctious political year. The same power held a couple of months ago emerges as a front runner and raise a bunch of there. So i think you see him stay in for a period of time. I think channel 13 mike with carson come a member of his campaign and im not sure if Campaign Manager. But regardless we will check in. Dr. Carson we did hear from earlier. Things are wrapping up into be clear, dr. Carson said he is not going anywhere. This is only the beginning. He cried dirty tactics, very upset he and his Campaign Manager about the rumors that he would suspend his campaign that vowing to continue want to New Hampshire, nevada that went on to talk about tonights plan to destroy isis. That is something voters have been waiting to hear more about foreign form policy. So he did speak aggressively about destroying isis. He criticize president obama for not pose a threat to the United States of america and dr. Carson said what planet does he live on for the Statement Like that. We need to seal the border and visiting southern porter and the holes in terms of not being a secure border. He took a jab at donald trump by saying recently, reading his bible, king david as a warrior and obviously a jab at donald trump speaking at the university. Second karen fans. So the bottom line the Carson Campaign will continue on to New Hampshire, not going anywhere. Act to you. Thanks, no problem. So we cut you off and we had some insight to offer so lets go back to a shot to include insiders. What do you see on the democratic side, 138 precincts to report which is about 9 percent of the precincts. I can tell you Hillary Clinton is up four tenths of 1 percent and i can tell you up to 138, 62 percent of those precincts are in counties that have been hillarys counties tonight but even in counties that lane link to one candidate or the other areas of those counties can divert so what we try to do is hone in on precincts and those remaining 138 precincts fallen to which of those categories. You like to predict early. We do what we can but sometimes you have to count the dam votes. Responsibly. We want to be right not just first which is the most important thing, erroneous report. We did hear that someone called i suspect that is not the case, on the topic up dr. Carson dave price did a phenomenal job looking ahead to all of this as did the entire staff but step but dave made a good point the last thing people in New Hampshire want to see before you come there to get underwear and then though to washington dc, for breakfast or otherwise the thing come to New Hampshire and i know of no clear way to say to the people of New Hampshire you dont matter so i joined and dave suspicions. Or to say to them we dont want to buy underwear. In New Hampshire, what is wrong. I can see that we have sonia heights standing by them donald trump and thinking many people, lets check in with sonia come i know you talked to a number of people and it looks like the talk about the mood with trump coming in second to ted cruz. I think a lot of people surprise came in second. One of the things i noticed among the supporters here, they did not seem as infested and covering other elections, other caucuses throughout the year. But i think this speaks to whether or not donald trump is a more of a spectacle then a politician. As i was saying earlier tonight i think there were maybe five supporters for about everyone media person here. If there were media around the world, around the country, people clamoring to get in here. The highest turnout ever, record recordbreaking, it would help him. But good oldfashioned shoe leather pounding the pavement going to every county, town Hall Meetings makes the difference with iowa voters. Donald trump with huge events here. Large venues but didnt get the people out to caucus as much as he thought. Now, he did say in june, when he declared people thought he would come near the top tier candidates but did come in second tonight. Said hes going on to New Hampshire with high hopes and he should because he is ahead in the polls as well by significant number. He loves iowa, very gracious and thanked all the other candidates including Mike Huckabee who suspended his campaign and very good friends with him. He loves iowa, made by a farm someday but would like a lot more if what i have one tonight. Very, very true, no doubt, thank my can cherry have mentioned how important that is in the caucuses, ted cruz what we refer to all 99 counties. It is his evening and i dont think we should take that away from him. We saw something tonight, however that we have not seen before and may not see again. We saw a humble donald trump. He was very gracious. It was a different donald trump. He did exactly what he should have done tonight. And you know, you never know whats going to happen tomorrow in New Hampshire you may see something differently. Do you think that was strategic to future states, absolutely. If i just come in sick and im not going to bash you. Here is the thing, trump police hes going to win big in New Hampshire and thinks he will win big in South Carolina and big so in some respects, can afford to be humble but the thing about trump thinks two or three steps ahead and what he did tonight was good from a political standpoint. Im glad to see him lose because im a lot more worried the marco us ted cruz. It make if you are co rubio. We make if you ted cruz, we will see. Here heres the thing that i think senator cruz nothing away from him tonight. And the problem has come at the people that he works with and i know this was among supporters in iowa, theres not one United States senator who endorse senator cruz. I think you will see a lot of momentum to rubio going into New Hampshire but i dont think senator cruz does that well in went to South Carolina so dont count him out at all. But i do think in terms of the other states, marco rubio has more friends and ted cruz come a Big DevelopmentHillary Clinton is up eight tenths of a percentage on a night like this come a big deal with 91 percent of the precincts and then came from polk county. So that is probably the strongest development tonight. To think that is giving her some cushion . Exactly. Thank you very much gentlemen. Lets check in with dave price and i think it is interesting what mike was saying about ted cruz not having support of any of his fellow senators because ultimately everyone in this country knows who have for we send to the white house has to be able to work with other people. Necessarily have that reputation and the question will be whether voters care about that or if they are so disgusted with the system that they want to put somebody else and even if he does not have that track record of getting along with others and accomplishing something with others. What he has accomplished in the states by the opposition from governor branstad and iowa secretary of state and others, he walks out of here with a big win, hes beaten back donald trump and ash you look at it some of these other connectives, obviously a good night for Marco Rubio Donald trump kind of cap things tame and his remarks there but looking further down the list Mike Huckabee has already dropped out but what about people it weird statement from andy carson to go home to get some clothes, that comment we did check around we have dry cleaners so if he wants to replenish his supply he could do that if he chose to bit further down on the list rand paul looking for a better night and all along hoping to find 10,000 College Supporters to boost him up there. He would have to do soulsearching and has to think about whether he wants to focus instead on holding onto the senate seat back in kentucky Carly Fiorina not much of a night in Rick Santorum terrible night way nightly at the bottom. This is somebody back four years ago one the Iowa Caucuses the start look at a couple of these people wondering what the path forward is and deep soulsearching they have to do. You start looking at close numbers, jerry keeps talking Hillary Clinton him bernie sanders. No matter which way this turns out it seems perhaps both of them will claim victory because the gap just frankly will not be and i apologize, we were not listening to the tail end of what you said because we are looking at other monitors but we always appreciate has dave has mentioned repeatedly what happens with dr. Ben carson because it does seem a little strange that his Campaign Manager said i was thinking of places to buy underwear. We were watching these monitors because ted cruz 2016 caucus when are getting ready to address the huge crowd of the of the state fairgrounds where Stephanie Moore has been standing by live for us all evening. A live shot of the stage. We saw one of the supporters wanted early endorsers former secretary of state matt scholz former candidate bob. And so obviously, we are getting close to hearing from ted cruz that we will just hang onto this live picture because it appears he will take the stage soon. Ted cruz was so hammered in the last couple of days. Now that will get taken out of context and be a commercial in New Hampshire. Thats how this works in the last debate, so your 2016 i will caucus winner, ted cruz who has just been introduced. [cheers and applause] obviously one that is not resonating with Iowa Republican caucuses. There is no question that did bring up the question what it means to be naturalized United States citizen commit crews who has argued before the Supreme Court multiple times himself probably in authority within get people calling him out within his own state of texas, bringing this up and challenging, bringing a lawsuit over it. So you see him shaking hands with iowa supporters, people who have run for office, who currently hold office and the state and to have run very well and are very popular with evangelicals. Talking about the voting power. And we cannot overstate the risen above the tax from the gop establishment within the state of iowa terry branstad, the longing in america did not support anybody, attacked one candidate, texas senator ted cruz. That we talked about so much the day it happened, made headlines because governor branstad always made a. Of saying i will not endorse anyone. And he came out and said, this is who you should not vote for in all of that on the stance of Renewable Fuels, a spokesperson for the Renewable Fuels industry and iowa but the where does ted cruz stand on Renewable Fuels, the renewable fuel standard. Attacks were taking money from big oil, yesterday on meet the press thing for iowa was renewable based on over all. We will go back to the Clinton Campaign headquarters in a bit. Let me first of all say that to bet cash to god be the glory.
