Powered in large measure by africanamerican voters. This gives her huge momentum. Heading into soup super tuesday. Whether sanders can bounce back. We begin with david wright. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan. That is exactly right. Hillary clinton is leaving South Carolina with huge wind in her sails. And the pressure is now on Bernie Sanders, who has just two days to make up some serious ground. Thank you so much, South Carolina. [ crowd chanting ] all hillary, hillary. Hillary, hillary. Reporter this is what a 50point victory speech looks like. And tomorrow, this Campaign Goes national. Reporter compare that to the concession speech.

Meej,anwhile, on the republican side of this race, donald trump out on the trail and opening fire on his new nemesis, marco rubio. Trump is getting help now from his new ally, Chris Christie. But rubio who had been keeping it positive, until recently, is not relenting. Mary bruce is in memphis, tennessee, this morning. Mary, good morning to you. Reporter hi, dan, good morning. With super tuesday around the corner, the attacks are getting supersized. It is getting ugly out here. The republican candidates seem to be using every chance they get to take each other down. Hes a very nasty guy. Friends dont let friends vote for con artists. This is my country, damn it my country reporter this morning, the Top Republican candidates are eviscerating each other. Attacks yet. But hes flying around on reporter marco rubio trying to outtrump trump has launched a personal assault against the frontrunner. He just came out firing. Relishing his new attack dog status. Channeling rocky in a new highlight reel from the florida senators latest debate performance. There are hundreds of people waiting in the middle of a field to get into this airport hangar to hear donald speak. Trump is fighting back hard. Light weight rubio. Total light weight. Little mouth on him. Bing, bing, bing. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. Reporter rival ted cruz is also piling on, blasting trump for not releasing his tax returns. By maybe, his tax returns show he doesnt have quite as much money as he says he does. Reporter cruz and robe yeo have both released summaries of their returns. Donald trump is clearly hiding something. Its probably the fact that he doesnt make as much money as he says he does. Reporter now the candidates are crisscrossing the country ahead of tuesdays contest. Donald trump alone will be in alabama, virginia, georgia, to come in in florida. Which, of course is marco rubios home state. Big stakes there for him. The discourse is incredible. Its a far cry from the Lincoln Douglas debates. Mary bruce, thank you. Lets bring in george stp stephanopoulos, who will host this week later this morning. Im sorry i didnt get the formal wear memo. The cocktail wear memo. Its oscar sunday. The big headline from overnight. Getting back to the democrats. Hillary clinton trouncing Bernie Sanders. Does he have a viable path to the nomination . Its getting much more narrow right now. That nearly 50point win in South Carolina. Huge, huge numbers in the africanamerican community. She won about 85 of the africanamerican vote in South Carolina. You have six Southern States coming up on tuesday. Which also have heavily africanamerican populations. If she sweeps those, Bernie Sanders is going to win in his home state of vermont. He has to win in two or three other states to be viable. Heres the fact to watch. 25 of the voters of the democrat primaries are africanamerican. To do much, much, much better with that community, he cannot have a viable path to the nomination. And overnight, in her victory speech, Hillary Clinton seemed to be positioning inging herself for a run against donald trump. She took on his slogan. Take a listen to this. Despite what you hear, we dont need to make America Great again. America has never stopped being great. She also talked about the need for love and kindness and a clear act of counterprogramming against trump. But in a year of so much anger, which trump has really tapped into, is this a winning message . That wiwi be the question. Shes clearly, as you say, setting herself up as the antitrump in the general election. Will this fire burn itself out or keep on rising and rising and rising . And the question for her, can she harness both sides . And for donald trump, if he gets the nomination, can he find a way to reach out beyond his core base of very angry vers. Such an interesting year. Chris christie, ted cruz, and Bernie Sander graepts lineup. Thats coming up on this week. And no sleep for george. Then were on to super tuesday. Hell lead our entire team at 10 00 eastern tuesday night on tuesday night. Lets go to ron for a look at the headlines. Good morning, sir. Good morning to you, dan. Sara, good morning to you.
