Patrick in june last year, donald trump begin the transformation from mogul and tv start to republican candidate in a race for the white house. The talk of the political world. Mr. Trump they are bringing drugs, crime, they are rapists, and some, i assume, are good people. Patrick that was his june 16 announcement speech. Mr. Trump we cant worry about being politically correct. We just cant afford anymore to be so politically correct. Patrick only december, after the tragic terrorist attacks in paris and san bernardino, trump released his plan to stop future attacks in the u. S. Mr. Trump Donald J Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the United States. What donald trump said yesterday is qualified disqualifies him from serving as president. Patrick he spent the last eight months battling with those who disagree with this vision for america. There is the media you call women you dont like that fakes, fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. Patrick other influential it can be tending to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation. You know how to make America Great again . Told donald trump to go to hell. Mrs. Clinton donald trump [laughter] you know he does traffic in prejudice and paranoia. Patrick of course, president candidates from his own party. You want to talk about weakness . It is week to disparage women. It is weak to disparage women. Sen. Cruz he supports federal taxpayer funding for planned parenthood. That is a matter of principle. Mr. Trump i will tell you, you are probably worse than jeb bush. Sen. Rubio donald doesnt outline any policy. Patrick knocking now he can include francis to that list. Person that only things about building walls and not building patrick when is all said and done, donald trump has led in nearly every republican poll since july last year. Mr. Trump by the way, the original polls that just came out here we are through the roof. We are high. [applause] i like that hes not politically correct. I dislike what he has to say. He is brave and bold. I just like what he has to say. Patrick he came into the race as tv personality, businessman, and author of several books. The billionaire real estate mogul is selffunded, and quick to remind his supporters that he has turned down tens of millions of fundraising dollars. Mr. Trump no, i dont want it. I want to do Something Else. I want to be greedy, but for the United States. We want to bring money into the United States. For an exclusive interview in the days leading up to the South Carolina primary. Mr. Trump is politics, i understand. Ive only been a positive vision since june 16. Politician since june 16. I will consider calling myself that. Its hard to get used to. Patrick in greenville, trump blamed a former president still popular in south elena, george w. Bush, for 9 11. The crowd booed. Mr. Trump he is the one that got us into iraq. I cant say that i am thrilled. What you see now the migration and problems it is all caused by going into iraq. That is what started it. It was a chain of events. It is a shame. I dont know the president. Not. It was a tragic mistake. Patrick in recent weeks, of the candidates have targeted trump the campaign trail. Mr. Trump i would bomb the out of them. [applause] patrick now he says that will mr. Trump i will use a little bit salty of a word. Some of the words, i go like like. And then they will bleep me. All 3 of them on network television, they think i used the actual word. Patrick win or lose, i asked trump how he will look back on this time in his life as a president ial candidate. Mr. Trump honestly it has been amazing. But if i did not win and could effectuate these changes that will make life better for people and lower taxes for the middle income people who are getting killed, and also for business, which is leaving the country we have the highest tax rate in the world. Pfizer, big companys are leaving the country. I would consider it, pretty much a waste of time. Patrick he says a waste of time if you does not win. The polls are closed. We are just Getting Started at the Spartanburg Marriott. I am looking at a wall of media. People waiting for donald trump to her life. Will be talking to some voters and supporters coming up. Michael, carol . Michael and the polls just closed. We will see you in just a few. We are profiling all the candidates. Next up, ted cruz. Carol he is a United States senator from texas. Cruz was the longestserving solicitor general of texas. He is 45yearsold and he has 2 children. Cruz is a southern baptist. Michael now lets go to wyff news 4s nigel robertson. He is live with the Cruz Campaign in columbia. Nigel . Nigel michael, it has not been an easy road for senator ted cruz. We won iowa then became the target of the republican candidates. He will say they have targeted him as well. They would say he have targeted them as well. The run started with a ted cruz win. The texas senator beating out a crowded field in the iowa caucus. Less than 24 hours after that win, cruz was in South Carolina talking with me. The party, how did you do it . Sen. Cruz this was a victory for the grassroots. What we saw from the ground was together. We had a coalition of pastors, republican women, young people, college students, young business owners. People that are passionate to turn our country around. I dont think anyone was going to win iowa or South Carolina from a tv studio in manhattan and d. C. I think you win on the grassroots. You win meeting wh people one here. Talking with people directly, looking them in the eye and answering their questions. This is a job interview. I think Something Else that was powerful that we saw yesterday coalition coming together. We saw conservatives and evangelicals and libertarians and reagan democrats are coming together. Nigel with all due respect, as senator, did you unite the party . If you look at the american people, absolutely yes. I have said many times, the biggest divide we havent politics is not between democrats and republicans. The biggest divide is between career politicians in washington in both parties. Nigel reports surfaced that the Cruz Campaign in iowa allegedly spread false reports that ben carson had quit the race before the polls closed. Both were going after the evangelical vote, who, some say, stole votes from carson. Sen. Cruz the information that was passed on by the team was true and accurate. It was relevant to the election. It was in fact what dr. Carson did. He did not come to New Hampshire, he did not come to his afterlife. He went to florida. He did not come to South Carolina. And carson is a good and honorable man. Hes decent and someone that i like and respect. In the political process, the voters are entitled to know the truth of what has occurred. Hampshire primary, cruz had his eyes set on the palmetto state, running as the evangelical candidate. He had to energize that base in a big way. Here is talking to a crowd of more than 1000 at the Td Convention center. Sen. Cruz South Carolina is going to play such a pivotal role in the next three weeks. South carolinas role historically has been choosing president s. And South Carolina this year is going to in short that the next republican nominee and next president of the United States is a true conservative. Nigel then came in february 9, the New Hampshire primary. Ted cruz not only lost to donald trump, he came in third, behind john kasich. Making the fight for a win in South Carolina thats much more vital. That fight evident in the gop trump ted cruz a liar and marco rubio classing with cruz over immigration. Cruz taking issue with something review had said in a spanishlanguage interview. Sen. Rubio i dont know how he does what i said on univision. He does not speak spanish. [laughter] [applause] sen. Cruz [speaking spanish nigel cruz also pounced on trump for what he called liberals past position. Mr. Trump you are probably worse than jeb bush. You are the single biggest liar. Sen. Cruz donald has this weird pattern. When you point to his own record, he screams liar, liar. Nigel all week long, ted cruz has canvassed the state, speaking to speaking to big and small crowds. Knowing that a small showing in the upstate a given a strong showing statewide. Backout live, im going to step out of the way. You can see the crowd of people beginning to assemble here at victory party. People young and old gathering. The excitement in the room is building. Back talking politics. The crews Campaign Said what they did in South Carolina, the ground game the same that they had in iowa. The polls in South Carolina are now closed. We will soon see if what worked in iowa will work here in South Carolina. Back to you in the studio. Carol to marco rubio now. According to politico. Com, marco rubio spent most outspent million. Win or lose, rubio has resonated Michael Rubio has earned several key endorsements, including that of governor nikki haley. Tonight, tim waller on rubios remarkable rise in the palmetto state. He is live in columbia. Tim . Certainly hoping this primary will be his breakout moment. Free big endorsements in South Carolina, including that of governor nikki haley. Three big endorsements in South Carolina. He hopes to become the mainstream candidate. Sen. Rubio the experience is not just what you did, but how it worked out. Tim life in portal fast lane has not always been easy for marco rubio. You have not been involved in consequence of decision where you have to be held accountable. You simply have not. Tim is a success in South Carolina sen. Rubio granted by the lessons of her history, but inspired by the promise of our future, ins my candidacy for president of the United States. Tim became apparent with notable endorsements. After 12 president ial town halls, i wanted to make sure that if i was going to endorse, i would endorse the one candidate that i believe was head and shoulders above the rest. Tim senator tim scott and congressman trey gowdy made a push for reveal as the National Security and public issues to date. There is nobody better than marco rubio on those issues. Tim the u. S. Senator from a florida began his career in the florida legislature. At age 44, the youngest candidate to run for president on the gop ticket. He is married with 4 children and his roman catholic. Sen. Rubio i believe that in this primary in this state, we will help transform not just our party, but our country. Tim since containing for president , rubio has been criticized for working with democrats on a failed immigration bill. He was also accused of memorizing his lines during the New Hampshire debate, which earned him the title of robot. Sen. Rubio lettuce dispel once and for all that barack obama does not know what hes doing. Barack obama does not know what hes doing. This notion that barack obama does not know what hes doing. Anybody who believes barack obama is doing what hes doing a purpose does not understand what you with your. Tim foot has gained support on sen. Rubio the most powerful Intelligence Agency in the world is going to tell us where isis is. If you capture any of them alive, they are getting a oneway ticket to guantanamo bay, cuba. We are going to find out everything they know. Help me welcome the next president of the United States. Tim many see rubio is a comeback kid, who has learned from his mistakes, and has the ability to unite the party. Sen. Rubio South Carolina will be definitive and determinative. I. E. Government. I need your vote. Tim he also appealed to many social conservatives, with a strong message on family values. Job any of us will ever have is to be a parent and a spouse. We should never have any Government Policies that undermine marriage, ort that undermine family formation. When im president , we will not. [applause] tim now with some of the states most influential endorsements gov. Haley if we elect marco rubio, every day will be a great tim there appears to be no stopping rubio, at least for the foreseeable future. Let me show you the very large crowd developing here at the carolina haven in downtown columbia. A couple hundred people here to support rubio on his primary night celebration. You look at what rubio has faced in the past iowa third placed finish. New hampshire, lackluster fifthplace finish. His supporters very much hoping for a third or second, certainly a third first place finish. We will find a very soon. Timm waller, wyff news 4, live in columbia. Carol we are seeing a lot of people showing up for these parties tonight. Next, we take a look at former Florida Governor jeb bush. If bush wins the nomination and the presidency, he would become the third bush to serve as president in the last 25 years. But bush contends hes his own man. Carol jeb is not his own name, its an acronym for john ellis hes named for family, and the family legacy hes carried into South Carolina is as big as they come. Jeb i am sick and tired of him going after my family. Michael South Carolina helped to grow the bushs into a dynasty. Former pres. Bush my dad told me labels are for cans. Michael in 2000, george w. Won the state with 53 . His younger brother needs no reminder. Jeb its a great state with great tradition in present of politics. And a great connection to the bush family, i might add. Michael their father also one South Carolina twice. South carolina is going to reset this race. Michael senator Lindsey Graham seed seemed to nod to that on sen. Graham we are going to give jeb bush the momentum that he needs and deserves to win the nomination. Michael around the state, jeb bush kept the trail hot. But his numbers stayed cool. The polls leading up to the primary would not make him a favorite. I want a president who understands that they have to go back to washington dc and bring a conscience back to our republicans. Michael bush admitted when Governor Haley endorsed marco rubio, he suffered disappointed. Jeb bush traveled on and worked to harness and emotion of the candidates to master. Jeb i think people are legitimately angry. I give you statistics that are deeply troubling to me. Its more important in the human context of having to live paycheck to paycheck. Michael having earned his first paychecks in a Family Dynasty in the 1990s. Two term governor of florida. A all caps at tournament with my brother was building a Security Apparatus to keep us safe. Im proud of what he did. S a certain new York Real Estate man hit that legacy hard in the Peace Center Debate. Mr. Trump when the World Trade Center came down michael bush took on the trump attacks. Jeb my mom is the strongest woman i know. Mr. Trump she should be running for president. I lost hundreds of friends. The World Trade Center came down during he kept us safe . Thats not safe. Michael hes relied on the jeb style of retail quality retail politics. Jeb i guess it is politically correct to suggest that a husband and wife, a man and woma n, better organized around loving their children is just one choice. Michael the man who attended the Peace Center Debate has at times found himself in what feels like a schoolyard fight. Jeb when you debate a guy like trump, you have to have the last word. Because he is a bully. He does not stop talking. I actually saw on tapes. She just its not what he says. Its just that he says it louder and louder. You just have to keep talking through it. Its not a skill set i ever envisioned being necessary to aspire to the presidency. But ive gotten better at it. [laughter] [barking] michael he has kept to his older brothers political playbook. Compassionate conservatism. Jeb is not strong when you denigrate women. Its not strong when you cast aside hispanics as though they are not worthy. Michael and in spanish on Jimmy Fallon Jeb [speaking spanish] jimmy whoa whoa whoa, holds the michael the bush dynasty keeping to its own toys its own choice for fighting. The ultimate word is yours the voter. We are glad to have chip felker out analyst this year. Does nikki haleys endorsement signal backroom politics . Chip it was highly soft. She is governor of the state. It was highly sought. But if he finishes second, great, it does a lot of good. If he finishes third, then we will see whether the endorsements matter or not. It was a big timing. Could not have done better if you had asked for it. Carol a lot of people observed her and questioned her about the jeb bush endorsement. He actually commented it hims elf. Disappointed. But there are things bigger than friendship. Time. Ds in the pulling data. I know the bush people thought that she might endorse anybody. That was an interesting decision on her part. Michael Lindsey Grahams endorsement of bush. What does that do to him . Chip some voters for graham have been bush people anyway. It was just a transference of that vote. Call it establishment, i hate that term, but they will be likely bush voters anyway. Whether or not we see these endorsements of howdy, of gowdy, of scott, of haley, doesnt push him into second place . Then it matters. Carol its going to be an interesting night. We will talk about this in the hours to come. Michael chip, as going to say hello to the Live Watch Party in spartanburg. Carol more commitment 2016 coverage after the break. First, lets took a list of the results. Michael trump following along the template of the polls. Hes leaving, with marco rubio leading, with marco rubio at 18 . Carol as you can see, these are very early numbers. Than carson, 5 . We will get back with more right wish your skin could bounce back as quickly as it used to . Neutrogena hydro boost water gel instantly quenches skin to keep it supple and hydrated day after day. Formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid which retains up to 1000 times its weight in water this refreshing water gel plumps skin cells with intense hydration and locks it in. For supple, hydrated skin that bounces back. Hydro boost. These numbers will continue to change as we go through these hours. We want to tell you more about the candidates. Next is dr. Ben carson. Wyff news 4s Mike Mccormick is live in greenville. He is with the carson campaign. Mike the official ben carson watch party is underway at the embassy suites. That is the podium back there where hes expected to address his supporters later on tonight. This is a night that carson and his supporters have been working for for a while now. Ben carson came to spartanburg in april, before he announced he would be joining the race for the presidency. Even then he had a focus on leading. Dr. Carson we have to lead. When we dont lead, its like having a third grade classroom with no teacher. Mike as americas leader, ben carson wouldnt bring political experience to the white house. His experiences in the medical field. Carson study that hell and john hopkins studied at yale and john hopkins, where he went on to direct pediatric neurosurgery for 29 years. He is married with three children. He is a seventhday adventist. Hes been awarded the president ial medal of freedom, the highest civilian honor. Carson and his wife founded the carson scholars fund, which rewards students. Carol we want to interrupt quickly. Michael winner of the democratic the republican primary for president. Carol followed by marco rubio, ted cruz, john kasich, and ben carson. One of the remaining candidates can clean experience as a governor, and present a candidate. Michael john kasich made a strong showing in the venture primary, coming second to donald trump. Carol he has been busy since New Hampshire, and confusing himself to the voters of South Carolina. Gov. Kasich i have decided to run for president of the united. Carol john kasich has actually attracted protesters do at least one appearance. Planned parenthood upset over his vow to defund planned parenthood in his estate. Why do you hate Womens Health . Carol it did not seem to interrupt kasich. Gov. Kasich i always like when young people can show up protest, you aint livin. We dont were we fund Womens Health very aggressively, including the fight to reduce infant mortality. Why are you doing that by cutting off Womens Health . Gov. Kasich we are not going to do that. Planned parenthood themselves in this pickle. Carol when the most experienced politicians seeking the nation. Serving his second term in ohio governor. He served in the house of representatives from 2003. Was a Ranking Member of the house budget committee. He began his political life as a Ohio State Center at 26 are sold, the youngest ever elected to office. Gov. Kasich i know how to get spending under control, how to change the regulatory environment, how to lower taxes for people. Carol he announced plans in 1999 to run for the presidency. Caucuses due to poor fundraising. He worked for fox news and wrote 3 books. He also worked as a banker. Gov. Kasich rational regulations carol on tuesday, he met with several hundred supporters in greenville. He said as president , he will cut taxes, balance the budget, and eliminate regulations that hurt Small Businesses. Gov. Kasich when government at all levels is not sensitive to the needs of Small Business, then we end up doing things that hurt Small Business and their ability to create a jobs. While we think about the big people, we think about all the big companies, the bulk of the jobs get created by Small Business. Candidates are focused on rebuilding the economy. He acknowledged the importance in america. Gov. Kasich this is a praying state, they tell me. That faith in god is a very of South Carolina. Of the foundation of america. It needs to be renewed, not have to apologize for believing that there is a greater who gave us life. Carol the 63yearold kasich hes married with two children and a christian, a number of the america. Michael junkies against me to point of not attacking john kasich has made a point of not attacking his fellow candidates. Springs. Many called him the rational candidate. Jeb bush we watching the return of supporters and carolina. Michael Mandy Gaither joins us live at the hilton columbia with more. Mandy the doors just opened at the jeb bush watch party. There are a lot of supporters, including the main standing next to me, anthony rivera. You drove all the way up from miami. I want to show our viewers at home some video of bush going to you were at the polls in greenville as well this morning. Telling what you heard from people. It was very positive for the governor.

People are hopeful and ready for governor bush to fix this country. Carol you and i just talked about this moments ago. We all party heard that some organizations are calling for t rump at this point. I think the night is very early. I think we will exceed expectations. The governor has a campaign that is built to last. You will see that he is the candidate to take back the white house in 2016. I really strongly believe that South Carolina is jeb bush after doing a lot of hard work weve had the best ground game of any other candidate.

In a north carolina, both primaries march 15. Ship fell, our analyst. Are glad to have him with us. Carol now that trump has been declared the winner, the focus will be on who came in second and third. Chip the polls have been indicating that. The real cononst is who can finish second and third . Does cruz have the ground game . Does not seem to be getting new vote. Or could those endorsements propel rubio into the second slot . It will be a longer nate to make that determination. Michael we willlle watching. Chip, you said much of the trump candidacy acts on a single motion. Frustration or even anger, take your pick. At them, whoever they are. They are frustrated about the economy, the party. They receive it as not being responsive to their positions. Carol do you think trump, whether you like him or not, has actually opened up everyone to discuss these issues more than they mightve . Chip he would claim that for immigration, although we have been talking about that for 30 years. After mitt romney lost, there was an autopsy done by the republican party. That was the term they used. One of the plans they came up with none of the plans they came up with have been enacted, including an appeal to latino voters. Whether this translate to a general election, if this is the path to win the nomination, that is what you have to talk about. People back to the process. One in 10 socalled lost voters are now coming back. How do we account for that . Is it the anger factor . Chip i think it is. s not about the messenger, it is the message. They know the messenger is somewhat flawed. They do not care. They like that he is giving a middle finger to people in certain things. That is how they feel. Michael they like that blunt style. Chip they like it, and they dont care who it offense. Its all about the lack of political correctness. Carol as we head into the break, heres a look at the latest results. Michael we will keep these flowing to you throughout the night. The polls closed in South Carolina at 7 00. Just reminder, trump was called by nbc news the winner at just about 7 30 tonight. Carol this call is being made by nbc, also the new york times, several news organizations are calling it. More numbers from tonights contest. That is a decisive margin of victory right now. Let us see that holds throughout the night. Carol it will be interesting to see where the votes came from. Here is a look at voting from Palmetto Middle School in williamston. Michael right over our shoulders, Election Officials reported some troubles. Some of the machines simply were not working. The reported a low number of election volunteers. Carol corey davis is live and local in greenville county. How long were those lines . Corey people did not have to wait long at all her at riverside high schoole. The poll workers just starting to clean up. There was a large turnout here. More than 575 voters. That is about 25 of registered voters in this precinct. Look at this video. The crowd was steady throughout the day. Poll workers says the voter primaries in the past, where they have seen as little as 15 voters in one day. I showed my id, selected my choice, and that was it. Corey how do you feel now that you have made your boat . Good. Your vote . Its nice to make your voice heard in any little weight. I just got out of town and i have some absentee ballot. Im going to cap to carry that down to 301 university bridge. Corey that voter you just heard from was heading to the county voting offices to get that sorted out. From what we were told, the machines at riverside high all worked well. There was an issue at the wall lights brings the Walnut Springs precinct. That backed up the line for about 2030 minutes. We will track that county out to see how many of them decided to cast a vote in todays primary. Corey davis, wyff news 4, live in greenville county. Michael we look what more time at the result. They continue to come in. Carol this went down slightly. Michael 32 for trump. 20 for cruz. Gov. Kasich carol we greenville in spartanburg. But there are other upstate counties that have only reported partial results. Night. After this. Im chris bosh. When i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung, fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. Treatment with xarelto. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto. Was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto. Carol we turn now to our social media tracker, who has his sleeves rolled up. Michael the man, marc dopher, tracker for tonight. Marc people use social media for also the reasons. But its a great way for princes of candidates to get the word out. Donald trump says he has been able to get the word out because he has a bigger presence than his competitors. Donald trump was the projected winner of the primary. The palmetto state prides itself on voting for the eventual gop nominee. Only once in 36 years has eight candidate won has a candidate won the South Carolina primary and failed to get the national emanation. Its also important who finishes second, third, and fourth. The winner will get 29 delegates. The other 21 will be divided up among congressional districts. Here is how this factors in across the country. If we clear the board, we can go to the national scene. Iowa had 30 delegates. Here is our 50 in South Carolina. The ultimate goal is for one of these candidates get to the magic number of 1237. That person will then run for the presidency as a democratic candidate. We are pretty much everywhere on air and online as we tracked the South Carolina republican primary. You can check out our mobile app. It has everything you can use. Uptotheminute results, you are doing in the field, you can see how many votes the candidates have and much more. Carol marc, thank you very much. As we head can to break, donald trump at 34 . Ted cruz at 22 . Marco rubio at 21 . Jenna bush with jeb bush with 10 . Michael march dopher winning the search leave vote tonight. Donald trump with 21. 5 . Rubio leading in greenville county, according to politico, but that is just with a few votes. Carol i misspoke a moments ago, i said some counties had all of the results. That is not true, for everybody, it is mostly partial results. They come up with these results by looking at bellwether countys. And those counties have donald trump as the winner tonight. Michael we have a prize fight going on for second place between marco rubio and ted cruz. Are back that staying pretty steady, with some jockeying between second and third place. John kasich and ben carson have remained steady as well. Chip felkel joins us now. What are you thinking right now . Chip you are looking at the results as they come in. You see some consistency in terms ofhe lower three candidates bush, kasich, and carson. Although its something that their supporters will not talk about, as this consolidates, the threeway race will have to make decisions. That is not one for anybody to talk about.
