Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. We just gave away our lead guest. Right there, donald trump, live in our studio. A man of his word. Yesterday, he said, if i win, ill join you in your studio. Guess what . Here he is. The big winner, wasnt even close on the republican side or democratic side. Huge shifts on the left and the right. Lets geto where things stand this morning. Fueled by recordsetting voting turnout, Bernie Sanders won over Hillary Clinton more than 20 points. Hillary clinton conceded moments after the poll closed. Things arent closer on the donald trump doubling his closest competitor, the surprise of the night, john kasich. Cruz finished third after a win in iowa. Followed closely be jeb bush and marco rubio with Chris Christie in a disappointing sixth. Well talk to trump and kasich in a moment. First, lets start with the democrats. Kristen welker, good morning. What a night. The Clinton Campaign is waking up to the reality secretary clinton has a tough road ahead. Right now, senator Bernie Sanders has more momentum. The campaign has been bracing for a loss but didnt expect such an overwhelming defeat. Reporter riding a wave of antiestablishment enthuseiasmenthusiasm, Bernie Sanders troroced center clinton in New Hampshire, turning his underdog campaign it is just too late for the same old, same old establishment politic politics. The people want real change. [ applause ] reporter in a rousing speech that lasted nearly 30 minutes, sanders flexed his muscles, painting the win as a validation of his call to take on wall street and big business. Together, we have sent the message that well echo from wall street to washington, from maine to california. Reporter and while secretary Clintons Campaign may have been it. Striking a note of confidence tuesday night. Not whether you get knocked down that matters. Its whether you get back up. Reporter but sources close to the campaign tell nbc news top aids are taking stock of the strategy, including a sharper focus on wall street, a message thats rallied young voters around sanders. Street can never be allowed to once again threaten main street. I will fight to reign in wall street. You know what . I know how to do it. Reporter in a memo, Clintons Campaign manager tried to calm jittery supporters. Writing, the nomination will likely be won in march, not february, pointing to clintons strength in super tuesday states, which are larger and more diverse, playing to her appeal among minority communities. We also haveeo break through the barriers of bigotry. Africanamerican parents shouldnt have to worry that their children will be harassed, humiliated, even shot because of the color of their skin. Reporter while the campaign is trying to down play the loss, noting sanders is from neighboring vermont, the clintons have strong roots here, too. New hampshire is where president bill clinton famously called himself the comeback kid, and where secretary clinton beat barack obama in 2008. Thank you. Reporter but now, its the the map. Thank you, New Hampshire now, its on to nevada, South Carolina and beyond. [ applause ] sources close to the campaign say both hillary and bill clinton expressed concerns about the campaign. Now, theyre bringing on a new strategist, one of the top officials from president obamas reelection campaign. Expect more outreach to the young voters who overwhelmingly prefer sanders. The only demographic clinton won with voters, 65 and older. Senator sanders will work to improve his support among africanamericans. Today, meeting with reverend al sharpton. Back to you. Kristen welker, thank you very much. Lets bring in chuck todd. Nbcs political director, moderator of meet the press. Hillary clinton knew she was going to lose. I dont know they knew theyd lose this badly. Where do they go from here . They have to worry about a number one, not to panic. The worse it can get the more they panic. They have a money problem. Bernie sanders outraised her in january and will again. They dont have the ability to shoot out an email and raise a bunch of money. The next contest is not South Carolina. Its nevada. This is a race that suddenly is very tight there. Its very possible sanders beats her in nevada, too. Then that race takes the one in South Carolina to a point it wont be so easy for her. Now, she has to deal with outside forces she cant control. Rumors about michael bloomberg, the former new york city mayor getting in. Rumors about joe biden. This is going to be a very difficult three weeks. If the campaign panics at any point, maybe overcorrects, it could be in even worse shape in a month from now. Rest your voice for a second. We want you to comment on the donald trump topped the latest polls last night. 75 polls heading into the New Hampshire primary. Voters turned out for him in force on tuesday. Nbc National CorrespondentPeter Alexander is already in the next battleground state, South Carolina. Good morning. South carolina, where the next primary is ten days away. Donald trump likes to boast hes a winner and he proved it in a huge way last night. More than doubling hislosest competitor, john kasich. This is a candidate who has redefined republican politics and ran away with New Hampshire. Tell me its a revolution reporter donald trump, triumphant triumphant. We are going to make America Great again. Reporter the brash billionaire turned politician, racking up his first win. We want to thank the people of New Hampshire. Right . Reporter extending an olive branch of sorts to his republican rivals. I wanted to congratulate the other candidates, okay . Now that i got that out of the way reporter taking aim at the democrat who carried New Hampshire. I heard parts of bernies speech. He wants to give away our country, folks. Were not going to let it happen. Reporter winning the war for second, Ohio Governor john kasich, whose optimistic tone resonated in an otherwise nasty primary. The light overcame the darkness of negative campaign. [ applause ] and you made it happen. Reporter earlier, he was reflective with nbc news. We plugged away and plugged away. The little engine that can. Reporter a week removed from an iowa celebration, marco rubio fell into fifth place, acknowledging in blunt terms that his poor debate performance cost him. Our disappointment tonight is not on you. Its on me. Its on me. I did not i did not do well this, that will never happen again. Reporter jeb bush, sandwiched in the middle of the pack. This campaign is not dead. Were going on to South Carolina. Reporter bush aids telling nbc news, theyre rising as rubio fades. Ted cruz is looking for the first in the south primary next week. We go to South Carolina, the palmetto state. Washington liberals may find South Carolina far less hospitable hospitable. Reporter cruz releasing a new ad, mocking the republican front runner. Figure. No way, its huge. What does he do . He pretends to be a republican. Reporter trump firing back. Ted cruz, the worst kind of washington insider who just cant be trusted. Reporter meanwhile, chris single digits. Not enough tonight, thats okay. Reporter instead of a planned trip to South Carolina today, the new jersey governor will head home, where hell decide the future of his campaign. A tough night for Chris Christie and for Carly Fiorina and ben carson, as well. I flew down with john kasich from New Hampshire overnight. He was clearly elated, even a little bit stunned by last nights results. As he told me, i think were really on to something, with the positive nature of this campaign. Matt and savannah . Peter alexander, thank you very much. Donald trump joins us fresh off the win in New Hampshire. Good morning. Good to have you here. Good morning. Known you more than 30 years. Youve always said youre a winner. Last night, voters went into the polls and officially made you a winner. How does it feel . Its great. The people from New Hampshire are great. Ive had a bonding relationship wiwi them a long time. Ive been up there long before the political thing. We would have rallies where ten times the number of people would show up than we expected. We got to see it from an early point. I think South Carolina, frankly, is going to be similar to that. You doubled up on john kasich. Youve said you are sure you can beat Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. Are you the favorite to be the next president of the United States . That, i dont know. I dont want to talk about favorites. I think were doing very well. We have something special. Two days ago, i was in South Carolina and we filled up the stadium. It was packed with people. Its a movement. People want to see a smart country. They want to see us take the country back. They want great deals, not horrible deals. We lose money with trade. We cant win with the military. We cant beetat isis. Think of general George Patton not being able to beat isis. It doesnt work that way. This country doesnt win anymore. New hampshire reordered things. Who is your biggest competition cruz in South Carolina . Great question. I think all of them. Theyre all accomplished people. Theyre governors and senators. Theyre all very good people. Maybe, you know. But i think, probably, i wouldnt want to pick one. Theyre close enough, and well see what happens. Theyre all accomplished people. Its serious now, mr. Trump. I mean, now people are going to take a good, hard look at you and say, can he be the leader of the free world . Can he be our president . Theyve been looking at me, matt, six months. Now this New Hampshire win says, this guy is on track. When it comes to parents in this country, they want their kids to be able to look up to the president. They want them to be able to admire the president. You were on with us last week and we talked about being more subdued. You said, im trying to become more statesmanlike, more subdued. This week, you continued using some words, repeating a word that a supporter said to you at is that satstatesmanlike . We had 5,000 people in a snowstorm, in a blizzard, and everybody was having a good time. A woman, not a man, shouted out this word, and then shouted it out again. She didnt have to repeat it. We had a good time and it wasnt the worst thing in the world. Youre a president ial candidate and we have to bleep it, is that what you want to show . We were having a tremendous time, got a standing ovation. N. Everybody was up and down, standing, screaming. Its one of the reasons i won. You have to be yourself. Now, as i get look, i was a good student at the best school and all that stuff. I know what to do and whatnot to do. I will say this, as you get closer, you act differently. We were having a good time. The people went out and voted for me and thats why we got the numbers we did. Look, this country, Political Correctness is killing us. Is it Political Correctness it wasnt the worst thing in the world. It was a woman and it was a repeat. I said, you should never say that word. Then sarcastically repeated the word. Did i reprimand the person . You cant reprimand if youre going to say it yourself. When are you going to release your tax returns . Theyre being worked on now. Whats the hold up . I guarantee the biggest ever in the history of what were doing. Its complicated stuff. We will be releasing that. Will people be surprised at the rate you pay, lower or higher than expected . I fight like hell not to pay a lot of tax. Every politician probably does. I watched others where they say, i want to pay taxes. I fight like hell not to pay taxes. I hate the way the government spends my money. Big winner in New Hampshire, donald trump, thank you for being here. Thank you very much. Now to the surprise second Ohio Governor john kasich. He made his way to South Carolina over night and will look to capitalize there on this momentum. Governor, good morning and congratulations. Thank you. Were very happy. I saw you on your bus in New Hampshire, and you definitely were feeling this coming. What do you think made the difference in the final days . Was itomething you said, or was it the faltering of other candidates . No, i dont think it was the faltering. We were on our way up anyway. We do have great grassroots people, which well be able to use throughout the country. Well be building teams everywhere we are. Secondly, i had a positive message. As you know, savannah, i was the only one with a really positive message. I always felt that will light could overcome the darkness in a Political Campaign where we could say what were for. Bringing families together, creating jobs, making sure no one gets left behind. That message was used consistently for the last my lifetime but a very strong message about all of that. I think, finally, it broke through, along with the fact that our tv commercials were positive. I had so many millions of dollars spent against me. We overcame it. Im glad you said the light can overcome the darkness and your positive message resonated with voters. Youre behind a guy who is way ahead in the polls and has a habit of when somebody gets close to him, talking about donald trump, targeting that person with negativity. Can your positive message hold up under that withering attack that has claimed other candidates . Well, matt, heres the thing, somebody wants to mess with me, theyre messing with the wrong guy. Im not going to sit there and be a marshmallow and have somebody pound me. Look, i was a congressman, balanced the budget, i was the military reformer, ive been the governor of ohio. All those positions, weve seen jobs created and problems were not going to sit back and take a pounding from anybody, were going to tell people what were for. In my speech last night at the close of the voting, you know, its gotten rave reviews, which im grateful for. Im talking about bringing people together and reviving the spirit of america. Governor kasich, you gave your resume. Its impressive. Youve been in government many, many years. Not to take anything away from your strong finish last night,t, donald trump still beat you by 20 something points. This is a year where it seems like voters dont want the establishment. That. He had 65 that didnt vote for him. Its just that there are so many people that when you take the votes, you dont have them showing. Savannah. Nobody thought id run for president. No one thought id raise the money when i decided to. Debates or get to New Hampshire. As some people have said, in fact, my two daughters said, daddy, we win you won because last. But well see what happens. Well see what happens. Its a long, long road, all the way to the nomination. At some point, were going to be going to the midwest. Were going to be going to pennsylvania and ohio and michigan and illinois. Just wait. All right. Ohio governor john kasich, appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you very much. Lets bring chuck todd back in. Chuck, on to the republicans now. We know who had the best night, donald trump. John kasich had a good night, as well. Who had the worst night . I think i guess you have to say Chris Christie. He went for the kill on marco rubio. It didnt help him. It certainly hurt rubio. Marco rubio arguably had equally as bad of a night. Christie did worse. I dont know hes not going to qualify for saturdays debate, as far as the criteria. Campaign. Thats why hes in new jersey this morning and not South Carolina. Marco rubio is also on the ropes. South carolina, matt, is going to be a blood bath. We have about ten days. Jeb bush, trump, ted cruz, john kasich, marco rubio. It could be a circular firing squad. Who goes after who . When you asked donald trump who his chief rival is now, id say ted cruz. Hehe won one. As things go south, he should have a natural constituency out there. I think youll see cruz and trump fight it out. Bush, kasich and rubio fight to see who can be the last remaining establishment republican. Chuck todd, thank you very much. We have ary ricola on the way to you. Lets get a check of the weather from mr. Roker. We have a lot of cold air coming in. Also, a Beautiful Day out west. They could use rain in southern 88 degrees. You look at whats happening in minneapolis today. 13 for a high. Wind chills near zero. We have a little bit of a clipper bringing lakeeffect snow that will continue to pile up over the next 48 hours. All year long you worked hard to take care of business and take care of the people who matter most. So when your tax refund arrives, make it go a little further at walmart. From electronics, to home decor, even tires, get low prices on everything you need to get more fun out of your tax refund. Thats your latest weather. Matt . Al, thanks very much.
