They dont have the ability to shoot out an email and raise a bunch of money. The next contest is not south its nevada. This is a race that suddenly is very tight there. Its very possible sanders beats her in nevada, too. T 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 shecontrol. Rumors about michael bloomberg, the former new york city mayor getting in. Rumors about joe biden. To be a very difficult three weeks.

Last night, voters went into the winner. How does it feel . Its great. The people from New Hampshire are great. Ive had a bonding relatio a long time. The political thing. We did better than anticipated. We would have rallies where tenumber 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 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 i think were doing very well. We have something special. Two days ago, i was in South Carolina and we filled up the it was packed with people. Its a movement. Country. They want to see us take the country back. They want great deals, not horrible deals. We lose money with win with the military. We cant beet at isis. Rge patton not being able to beat isis. It doesnt work that way. New hampshire reordered things. Who is your biggest competition now, is it kasich . Cruz in South Carolina . Great question. I think all of all accomplished people. Theyre governors and senators. Theyre all very good people. Maybe, you know. But 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 togood, 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 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 ant 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, mored. This week, you continued using some words, repeating a word an event that im not going to here. Is that sats tatesmanlike . We had 5,000 people in a snowstorm, in a blizzard, and time. A woman, not a man, shouted out this word, and thenout again. She didnt have to repeat it. We had a good time and it wasnt the worst thing in the youre a president ial candidate and we have to bleep it, is that what you want to show . We were havingtime, got a standing ovation. 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 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 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. Or good manners, temperament . It wasnt the worst thing in 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 tax returns . Theyre being worked on now. Whats the hold up . I guarantee the biggest ever in the history of what were 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 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 i hate the way the government spends my money. Big winner in New Hampshire, thank you very much. Now to the s place finisher on the republican side. Ohio governor john kasich. He made his way to South Carolina over night and will look tos momentum. Governor, good morning and congratulations. Thank you. Were very happy. I saw you on your bus in New Hampshire, and youwere feeling this coming. What do you think made the difference in the final days . Was it something you said, or was it the faltering of other 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 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 i always felt that will light could overcome the darkness in a Political Campaign where we could say what were fong families together, creating jobs, making sure no that message was used consistently for the last oing it most of my lifetime but a very strong message about all of that. I think, finally, ith, along with the fact that our tv commercials were positive. I had so many millions of dollars spent against me. We overcame d you said the light can overcome the darkness and your positive message resonated with voters. Youre behind a ahead in the polls and has a habit of when somebody gets close to him, talking about donald trump, targeting that 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 withtheyre 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, budget, i was 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. Last night at the close of the voting, you know, its gotten rave reviews, which im grateful for. Im talking about people together and reviving the spirit of america. Governor kasich, you gave your resume. Its impressive. Youve been in government years. Not to take anything away from your strong finish last night, donald trump still beat you by 20 something points. Re it seems like voters dont want the establishment. They might feel you represent that. He had 65 that didr him. Its just that there are so many people that when you take the votes, you dont have them together, he gets that kind of awere going to see how it goes, savannah. No one thought id raise the money when i decided to. Id make the debates or get to New Hampshire. As some people have said, in fact, my two daughters said, daddy, we win y were not so sure mr. Trump will last. But well see what happens. Well see what happens. Its a long, long road, all the way to the 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. Ght. Ohio governor john kasich, appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you very much. Lets bring chuck todd back in. Chuck, on to the republicans 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 chri for the kill on marco rubio. It didnt help him. It certainly hurt rubio. Marco rubio arguably had equally as bad of a night. To qualify for saturdays debate, as far as the criteria. He probably has to reassess his 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,ohn kasich, marco rubio. It could be a circular firing squad. Who goes afteren you asked donald trump who his chief rival is now, id say ted cruz. He won one. As things go south, he should have a natural constituency out i think youll see cruz and trump fight it out. Bush, kasich and rubio fight to see who can be the last remaining establishment chuck todd, thank you very have ary ricola on the way to you. Lets get a check of the weather from mr. Roker.
