kasich: what is saturday? [laughter] mr. kasich: oh, ok. haven't made up your mind, i don't think there's anything else i can tell you. what are you thinking? enough, heard me long what are you thinking? want to be with you but i want to hear what you think about this issue. mr. kasich: where did you grow up? [inaudible] mr. kasich: it is a sin to continue to help someone who needs to learn how to help themselves. that's my basic philosophy. [applause] believed thathave with rising economic strength that we cannot leave anybody behind. we cannot let the mentally ill sleep under a bridge or live in prison. you wouldn't believe that. you don't think we should turn addicted.on the drug and the working poor. sometimes it's harder for them to take a pay increase then turn it down because they lose more than they gain. , i was one ofone the main people to push the welfare reform through congress, which illuminated the entitlement on welfare. that was a significant accomplishment for us. that and balancing the budget. secondly, in our state, we we

as you can see, donald trump a huge win over john kasich. 43,720 votes ahead of kasich, but you see the fight for third place between cruz, bush and marco rubio, they're all at 11% right now. 84% of the vote is in. plenty of votes remaining. bernie sanders had an impressive win as well as. he's almost 45,000 votes ahead of hillary clinton in new hampshire. as of right now only 69% for hillary clinton. big, big wins for these two candidates. >>>s that's right. wa an unpredictable night. we have bernie sanders and donald trump in first place in their respective parties. donald trump right now has a 19 point percentage point victory over his next closest competitor. then john kasich second place finish and then that tight, tight battle for third place among ted cruz, jeb bush and marco rubio. it has been a very, very eventful night. >>> we are going to make our country so strong. we are going to start winning again. we don't win anymore. as a country we don't win on trade, we don't win with the military, we can't beat isis. we don't win with anything. we are going to start winning again an

governor kasich goes on to south carolina. sheree: on the democratic side bernie sanders beat hillary clinton by more than 20 percentage points. sanders says that he is looking to carry this momentum through the rest of the campaign. bernie sanders: what happened here in new hampshire in terms of enthusiasm and an aroused electorate. people who came out in large that is what will happen all over this country. the candidates now turn their attention to south carolina and nevada. the republicans have their primary in south carolina. democrats have a caucus and nevada on the 20th and in the primary on the 27th. addressing the recent violence. neighbors cannot tonight to talk about sunday' s shooting were three people were shot. emily: neighbors made it very clear that this is not what they want in their neighborhood. they also recognized that they can play a bigger role in walking the streets and reporting any suspicious he says the hazelwood neighborhood is a safe community. they need someone to cooperate to track down suspected

governor kasich has vision. he has been on the other side of the mountain, and can say to the american people, i know what is possible for this country, follow me, i will take you to a better place. america wants to believe in a leader who believes in them, not someone who is apologetic. finally, integrity. this is the most powerful position in the world. i like to think that power is in the hands of someone who will not use it for political or personal gain. there is no vocation or job where integrity is more important than the president of the united states. . am supporting governor kasich he's a republican, i'm a republican, sure, i would like to see a republican in the white house, but the reason i'm supporting governor kasich is because i love america, and everything america has done for me. i'm supporting america and governor kasich because i love my son, and i want a better future. we have some work to do, some ground to make up. if we work hard, together -- you and i, we share a common vision. please joi

that's john kasich. he did great in new hampshire, exceeded expectations in south carolina and he's going to do very well in massachusetts, arkansas, vermont. even threshold states like tennessee. mark: endorsements are overrated but after jeb bush got out of the race, and even before, marco rubio has received an enormous number of endorsements. john kasich has gotten some but not nearly the number and the prominence. where are kasich's friends like haley barbour, chris christie? >> senator trent lott, army. mark: you've had those before. i'm not being critical of it. part of narrative seems to be that rubio is now the guy. >> that's a now thing. mark: where are haley barbour and chris christie? he's a governor. why will the other governors not rallying around him? >> you make a case. i don't ever know that he's had a close relationship with haley barbour. mark: oh, he does. >> second, i would say fear. they don't want to be with a winner. they don't want to take a risk. no one wants to jump in and take

kasich's the only one left that can beat trump. rubio can't. cruz clearly can't but kasich can. that's why we're satisfied with our strategy. we just had another billionaire join our campaign just before i joined you, gretchen, a man named pll posiner out in california. the smart money is on john kasich because he has the clear path to get to the nomination. the others had strategies that didn't work. now they're looking for someone who can do it. >> polls are polls and those events haven't taken place yet so we don't know for sure if their strategies have taken place yet. >> yes, you did get a lot of endorsements. the fort worth telegram has introduced marco rubio. that's interesting because that's ted cruz's state. >> dallas morning news endorsed john kasich as did the waco tribune. he has more newspaper endorsements. >> he has. >>> the post office e-mail scans of your mail. but the program isn't going how it's planned. how would you like it if your neighbors could sneak a peek at all of your mail. i'm talking about everything. >>> did you know for severallese the u.s. postal

lost by 8 points to kasich. imagine if those numbers were switched, kasich and rubio, he would likely be number two now and have the momentum. so he looks like he has been stopped in his tracks right now. and imagine one other thing. trump gets over 30%, which is extremely impressive in a big field. but had the field been winnowed today, tonight, to one person for the mainstream lane, cruz and trump, 30% or so means a dead heat among the three. the longer that is postponed and new hampshire has postponed it, the better it is for trump. >> quickly, charles, if marco rubio finishes fifth, or sixth, what does that mean for his campaign? >> he continues because he has strong essential elements on paper. he is the best candidate, i think, against hillary, his youth being hispanic, his energy, his ideas and his sort of charisma, but he has been terribly hurt by one event. having in history with muskie in new hampshire 40 years ago, with other events, single events that not only hurt the candidate, but that give a stor

kasich: are you going to do a selfie? >> i'm not very good at it. mr. kasich: he is the best. coming home? a little courage, huh? think that is a big deal? i just called a lady that turned 107. >> i would go to work for you right now. mr. kasich: maybe i can get you to come straight to the va. 92 years old. fantastic. i have to take pictures because i have to go. battle of the bulge. unbelievable stuff. our guys that are here are looking into it. if we need it, we will do it. >> ready? >> thank you for taking care of social security. mr. kasich: we will get it done. we have to get it done quickly or we dig ourselves in a deeper hole. thank you. >> we are retired military. sorry. i am voting for you. we are retired military. >> i need you to back up a little. mr. kasich: thank you. get your friends also. i need friends. terrific. thank you. >> in new hampshire, you told us why it was important but why do you think you are the best person to end the gridlock in washington? mr. kasich: i get along with everybody. here we go. two more and i have to go. get your friends. thank you.

kasich: cannot hear. if you are from pennsylvania, we know you are loud enough. >> i went to ohio state. my grandfather died from black lung as well. i fished in a sulfur black creek. if i caught a little chub, i was happy. i got a master's degree from clemson university in environmental toxicology. i have given 21 years to this university. my wife has worked for the same company for 21 years. if either one of us lost our job, we would be at the poverty level. i have worked hard. i have taken extra jobs on the weekend to give my family extra money to do those extra things. i want to talk to you about social dependence. i have two questions for you, sir. if you are president, what are you going to do to stop this growing population of citizens who choose this way of life, not to stay in school, not get the job, who rather would just rely on the government? please tell me what you would do to this growing culture of social dependence. , why should i vote for this saturday and not met saturday? more importan

about seven months he saw kasich again. kasich went up to this part of new hampshire, held a town meeting with 60 people. they came together and he talk to him again and he said you were right, you were right to do this and he ended up voting for him. i think that's what you saw across the state here in new hampshire. is that going to reflect in south carolina? we don't know but i think all this talk over the past week from all of us that this would turn into a three person race has turned into a five person race. >> there's a presidential debate coming up saturday night as well. anderson lots to assess right now. >> i want to talk to our panel of analysts. we keep talking about who is in the establishment lane. do lanes exist? >> i think the lanes will have to start to meld at a certain point and if you look at the numbers david was talking about at a certain point the establishment is going to figure out what it wants to do and it may have to adopt donald trump because he's got 35% of the vote here. he looks like a winner

trump at 30%, kasich second, and bush. kasich running a strong second in the centers. again, trump just around 30 here, kasich second. we'll watch this play out throughout the night. who comes in behind trump in the big population centers and the big suburbs south of manchester where we've talked to our correspondents? merrimack, hudson, bedford. it's where as we look into the little towns filling in down on the massachusetts border, that will determine second place and how close second, third, and fourth are which will say a lot about how many go forward. >> i want to go to sunlen serfata at cruz headquarters. you have news, sunlen, what are you learning? >> reporter: that's right, wolf. the cruz campaign is watching marco rubio's results very closely. conversations with many of the cruz advisers that are watching results with the candidates right now reveal that they're looking at how well rubio does. they have always seen new hampshire as a chance to take down rubio, really blunt his momentum going forward and in conversations with cruz advisers, they see some signs

the jury is out on john kasich. there is not a groundswell among around to the governor of ohio today. after flying a little too close to the new hampshire sun, a scorched marco rubio spent election night taking the blame for his poor debate performance. he said he would do better here in south carolina. he told fox news this morning that he still thinks he is going to win the nomination. all candidates say that. is marco rubio alive? john: the word day it perhaps too harsh. in this instance, it will be very hard for him to come back. hugeoney thing is a problem. he does not have that many dollars left. the new hampshire thing was crushing for him. it is one of those extraordinary stories. he went from people talked about winning the new hampshire primary to finishing fifth. is goingney right now to be very difficult. there is going to be establishment candidate. unless trump runs the table before there can be. rubio could have his chance back in the spotlight here. himas this huge burden on now. the scrutiny of eve

do they go to cruz, rubio, kasich? and a number of people said kasich cause he sort of has that off-the-cuff feel. reporter: kasich has built a good ground game in new hampshire. he has polled second and third there lately. in the wake of cruz in iowa, trump suddenly has pressure. and rubio has momentum. who has the inside lane? alex triantafilou: eight days can be a lot of time in this kind of a race. so, the answer is anybody can win new hampshire. reporter: kasich told cnn today he' ll know in a week if he' s a story or not. he also had some fun today saying he' d try to reunite pink floyd if he makes it to the white house. calls the wall in pittsburgh the best concert he ever saw. mike: thanks so much. one more takeaway from iowa sean comer points out the moderates rubio attracted last night will ll coalesce around one candidate or spread themselves thinner among four or s certified most accurate forecast. have already had a little bit of springlike weather around here. have seen the flashes of lightning out there?

also neither did john kasich. we are moving on to a list of march 1st primaries, where kasich has the opportunity to not just win delegates but win the state. massachusetts, vermont, virginia, minnesota, then illinois, michigan and ohio. i don't think you can name a state other than florida that marco rubio has a chance of winning. and was mentioned earlier in your break, one other point, ted cruz is going to have a real tough time breaking out of that evangelical voter base where he hasn't done that well. so this is wide open. it is a jump ball. and john kasich is still the candidate that does best against hillary clinton. in overhead to head poll. >> let's listen to you, you brought up marco rubio, let's listen to this part of his speech last night really calling this is a three-man race. >> after tonight this has become a three-person race and we will win the nomination. >> he says this is a three-person race. and it sounds like to me it is very clear that you and the kasich camp really say forget history here.

that's john kasich. he had been predicting he was going to do well in new hampshire, he was second to donald trump and what he said that was different than everybody else is he remained positive and didn't engage in the name calling. listen to what he said. >> we never went negative because we have more good to sell than to send our time being critical of somebody else. maybe just maybe we are turning the page on a dark part of american politics because tonight the light overcame the darkness of negative campaigning. and you made it happen. you made it happen. >> so, sara, what is the plan for him in south carolina? do we know what his ground game is like there? >> well, i think that it's going to be -- you know, it's going to be a tough path for john kasich here in south carolina. he wanted to show up with momentum and he is doing that. he flew here overnight, he's holding a couple of events here today but his team is realistic that this is not necessarily a state he will be able to win. he did sell wel

john kasich. john: yesterday i thought government kasich would be here tonight. his staff said the governor would like to join us. but shortly before our show they stopped answering our phone callings and emails. i don't know why. but it means i will have to examine the governor's record without him. first the bad part. part of obamacare was a deal to offer states extra money about they would expands medicaid. governor kasich said sure we'll take it money. and asked to defend this government expansion he invoked god. he says when you die and you meet st. peter he will ask you what you did for the poor. it sounds compassionate and kinds. but a republican governor should know the big government program hurt the poor more than they help. newly eligible for medicaid patients are learning yeah, i'm covered but no doctor will see me. medicaid patients wait longer and receive less care than the uninsured. thanks, government. then there is the cost. america is going broke most live because of big handouts like medicaid. kasich against the wishes of the republican legisla

laterovernor kasich apologize. his remarks monday came a day after he signed legislation blocking funds to planned parenthood. we'll have more on kasich's anti-choice record with former ohio state senator nina turner after headlines. wikileaks has published documents showing the national security agency spied on a 2010 meeting between israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and italian prime minister silvio berlusconi, during which israel sought advice on how to strengthen its relationship with the united states. the documents released monday also reveal new details about u.s. spying on countries taking part in the 2009 u.n. climate summit in copenhagen. one document contains details of a confidential meeting between german chancellor angela merkel and u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon in the lead-up to the climate summit. wikileaks says the release includes some of the most highly classified documents ever published by a media organization. a new study has found greenhouse gas emissions largely stemming from fa

kasich, yes. his senior strategist ran a case for john mccain saying i'm not in the best position to win a nomination but i'm in the best position to choose you. he talked about, it's not about being a republican, he talked about the need for the parties to come together. however, however, in 17 election cycles, new hampshire has failed only thrice. iowa goats with the heart and picks candidates. but since 1952 they only failed three times to select the eventual nominee. bush has no path so that's his big problem. kasich has a similar problem. he need a huge launch out of new hampshire. rubio though he did not have a great debate, he's well made for a long-term candidate. bill: do you think the debate and rubio made an impact? >> we saw the last wmqr poll that came out and it shows rubio is still in second place. bill: 2008, hillary clinton was in new hampshire she was on the verge of losing her second straight to barack obama. she cried on behalf of all the women she said she had been fighting fo

chris frates, 16% john kasich. he is the man that emerged from that pack of governors. >> he did and he was saying all week that he thought he was running second. even though the polls showed all week that he wasn't, he came out and he had the data analytics to prove it. they invested very heavily on finding their voters, locating them and getting them out. in fact, they had -- they took polls among all their voters and saw who were they competing with? who else the same level of support as john kasich among these competition and then they went and found out what would push them over the edge to john kasich. they were able to find those folks, particularly after the sunday -- the saturday debate, they saw a lot of movement after that saturday debate, they went back to those voters where they had about equal support among their competition and said, okay, marco rubio, for instance, you were a voter, you were with rubio, you're worried about experience, they didn't rag on rubio so much but they did say here is why jo

crazy, experienced and john kasich. >> who is crazy. >> my point, only one john kasich in the john kasich lane and the others are somewhere else. that's a fact. >> do you have any idea what he's going to do in the debate tonight? >> the best way you can approach it is to talk to the american public about the way you will approach the big problems our country has. eck economics social cultural, how are you going to restore america's standard in the world. john kasich has done that in every debate. he'll do it again tonight, that's what the voters want. that's what they deserve. the media wants something different. they want mud slinging. they want name-calling. they want a spectle. he has refused to give it to them. he can solve problems, someone who has been there before and has shown they can do it time and time again. that's john kasich. >> john, a long way from new hampshire. >> great to be with you. >> all right, thank you. up next, the dean of the north american political press core is here to school us on the debates, nomination fights, dan balds joins us after this. cough liquid ge

i think that john kasich put a marker out here and who knows we could be looking at a trump kasich ticket which would be a strong ticket. >> you think that might still be the case? >> they are two strong candidates. >> thank you so much for joining us. appreciate your insight as ways. >> the evangelical vote giving a big boost but didn't play a part in last night's win in new hampshire. we will take a closer look at the exit polls just in. ♪ are you ready? are you ready? i mean, really ready? are you ready to open? ready to compete? ready to welcome? do you look buttoned up, prepared, professional? you've got to be ready. the floors, mats, spotless. the uniforms clean and crisp, ready to produce. ready for the unexpected. are you ready to prosper, to grow? do your people have the right safety gear? are they protected? to be ready is to anticipate. prepare. emergency lights, alarm panel. ready. ready? ready. ready is safe. you think your customers can't tell the difference between who's ready and who's not? of course they do. you, have anticipated, prepared, figured out, focused. you're

will it be enough for john kasich to emerge? john: to stay with you on this, you have covered kasich for a long time because you have been an ohio reporter. john kasich saying the others are the angels of darkness and i am the angel of light. that's not really the john kasich i've known. have you seen him change much? is the cranky john kasich still below the service -- surface? >> you saw it at the breakfast this morning when he was challenged. i think he has tried to tone it down, and he was wary of that perception that he is an angry guy and whatnot. he wanted to come across more positive, particularly in the last few weeks, that has been his mantra, that he is the positive candidate. he is trying to reinforce the argument he is making that he is the adult in the room and the guy you can can count on to get things done. mark: every night this week they have some event. tonight back-to-back town halls and tomorrow a debate on msnbc. do you get the sense it will all thetents -- intense way through, or will they go to their neut

>> i like john kasich. he's been an effective governor. >> reporter: iowa governor accepted federal dollars to expand medicaid under obamacare. >> the governor was for expanding medicaimedicaid, whic part of obamacare. >> reporter: he went after kasich on defense spending. >> john kasich also has this belief that you can, you know, save money so much that you can't -- that on a net basis you don't have to increase defense spending. i don't think that's an honest evaluation of the needs of the military right now. >> reporter: jeb bush already cut this anti-kasich web video. >> we need to rebuild the military. >> reporter: 16 years ago, george w. bush used south carolina to turn his primary campaign around and is still popular with republicans. jeb is hoping to capitalize on that. >> there's no doubt in my mind that jeb bush will be a great commander and chief for our military. >> reporter: marco rubio's campaign is hoping the bush/kasich battle gives him time to recover from a devastating fifth place finish

governor kasich has vision. he has been on the other side of the mountain, and can say to the american people, i know what is possible for this country, follow me, i will take you to a better place. america wants to believe in a leader who believes in them, not someone who is apologetic. finally, integrity. this is the most powerful position in the world. i like to think that power is in the hands of someone who will not use it for political or personal gain. there is no vocation or job where integrity is more important than the president of the united states. i am supporting governor kasich. he's a republican, i'm a republican, sure, i would like to see a republican in the white house, but the reason i'm supporting governor kasich is because i love america, and everything america has done for me. i'm supporting america and governor kasich because i love my son, and i want a better future. we have some work to do, some ground to make up. if we work hard, together -- you and i, we share a common vision. faith and

mark: john kasich shows that he did. his supporters do not think he will win this state, how crippling to his candidacy would a very poor performance in south carolina be? john: i flew down with john kasich. he is not a marshmallow or a concussion. he is in a very weak position. in south carolina. he is seen as an asset rather than a liability. their goal in south carolina is to prove jeb bush in calling this a comeback story. they think this is a win state for him. would not bush out of the race if john kasich one -- won. not doing well would be ok for k-6. -- kasich. mark: there are no expectations for him here. there are for trump because he is still the poll leader. there are for ted cruz because this is a southern evangelical states. i think john kasich and survive a bad performance, but he cannot be super bad. he needs to show some ability to perform well in this part of the country. john: john kasich will spend a lot of time -- he will be in south carolina but he will also spent time in michigan and get ready for

and in second place is john kasich, and john kasich is a national campaign. and affected donald trump is the three main rivalries to deal with it in third fighting, put to man a very strong position. and and as we coming to the final days she will not win new hampshire, and and every demographic group, and every age up to 65. it is a broad base defeat. and if your hillary clinton you are looking at this and saying i have a problem and it is not just -- every age group. bill: is exclusive to new hampshire? or is it an erosion with the the state's already? >> that is a question, if you look at iowa, it is not broadbased defeat, but we have two states and look at iowa and liberal states, and when the identifies as the socialists and you explain it away. she barely was able to keep bernie sanders at bay. there is no getting around it and we wait until we get to south carolina for firewall. and bernie sanders is cutting into a lot of people who were voters since 2008, he won women overwhelmingly. is it one off? we will see. bill: trying to address this, you have t

kasich got three. still, the governor could not be happier about how his campaign is going in new hampshire. here he is on gma. >> i've been positive. we've had 106 town hall meetings. people come and laugh. they cry. they talk about the things that matter to them. we've been positive. our ground game, a former senator said it's the best ground game he's seen in 40 years. last night we were out there in a driving snow storm, probably 300 people standing out there cheering. it was like a movie set. >> all right. here are some of john kasich's tweets from that event. it's a pretty big crowd. that is not atypical. they're not trump sized rallies, but there's a sizable number of people in the crowd. to gauge what it means, a former new hampshire senator and chairman of the kasich campaign in new hampshire. welcome, sir. >> great to be with you. >> nice to have you here. the ground game, obviously, it's important to governor kasich. not so important to donald trump. although he seems to -- i don't know, fin

kasich is not the only candidate stomping. -- stumping. for more on that, we have the campaign trail here . what' s on the eve of the new hampshire primary -- >> on the eve of the new hampshire primary, they are working on overdrive. >> we have come a long way and i think that we will be just fine tomorrow. >> hillary clinton is asking for the voters to give her another look. >> my final push to get as many granite stators ers as possible. >> i am angry and so are the people who show up by the thousands here. >> it is a fight between marco rubio, ted cruz, john kasich , and jeb bush. >> the day i' m sworn into this, it is my watch. >> it all comes down to turn out. >> i' >> there is concern about how the weather will impact what is expected to be a record turnout tomorrow and this will taper off in a forecast tomorrow. reporting from manchester. >> how are some of the independent voters going to vote ? independent voters can vote in either primary. i' m rebooting gets underway tonight in three tiny towns in new hampshire, including a notch

rubio 7 and kasich at 5. speaking of kasich, after a strong second place showing in new hampshire, the republican governor is turning his attention to south carolina. he actually sent his bus down before he even left new hampshire. >>> up next, one of the people in charge of kasich's successful new hampshire campaign. we'll talk about the strategy moving forward and his positive campaign that he says he wants to run. longer than ever. as we age, certain nutrients become especially important. from the makers of one a day fifty-plus. one a day proactive sixty-five plus. with high potency vitamin b12 and more vitamin d. i am totally blind. i lost my sight in afghanistan. if you're totally blind, you may also be struggling with non-24. calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com. that's why i switched from u-verse to xfinity. now i can download my dvr recordings and take them anywhere. ready or not, here i come!

john kasich was the favorite governor kasich feels like he is peaking at the right time. governor kasich: we knew we would walk into the clearing, because we' ve built our house on solid ground. in a state like this you are really running for congress in a way. you build everything up, and one minute they find out he is doing well. the other side starts panicking and running negative ads. it has been a ball. miriah: the vulcan race could hinge on undecided voters. in a latest cnn poll 30% of republican voters in new hampshire were undecided. lisa: for the latest out of new hampshire with our team and the granite state, mike dardis is there. his next report is at 6:30. mark: the boys of summer are the reds are packing up the truck getting ready to go to a good year for spring training. they send the equip that a week before the pitchers and catchers report. in case you' re wondering, the high in good year today is give or take a degree or two in the middle 80' s. how about it? lisa: in southern california -- they are having a heat wave. mark: i would much rather have this.

on the republican side, john kasich also a big surprise. did john kasich anyone any of you over tonight? not one person raising their hand. how about donald trump, did donald trump coming in first win anyone over tonight? you decided -- four people decided on donald trump. we were able to see their reaction tonight in realtime, because they all had in their hot little hands a dial tester. when they liked what they were saying, they would turn it up. there it is at 83. then they would turn it down if they didn't like it. at one point donald trump was speaking and this group had a big reaction. watch this. >> we are going to preserve our very sacred second amendment. there's not going to be anymore chipping away at our second amendment. if we had protection in california recently and so many other places, you can even look to paris, if there were bullets going in the other direction, it would have been a whole different story, folks. but nobody had protection. >> so the dial really spiked there for donald trump when he was talking about the s

i think kasich can easily take it. but i think perhaps more important, then, if he has to stay at home to defend the home turf, that's going to keep him away from other win or take all states, illinois, missouri, which he counted on doing well. if he is to ever turn the corner. >> abbey, here in texas, we talked earlier about how the governor, governor abbott came out for senator cruz, he has rick perry as well. does he seem to have the state well wired, or does he need to worry about losing the state to trump? >> we don't see it now, but certainly consultants are watching the polling. statewide matter, but also it is broken down by congressional district. they've told me state legislature in the congressional districts, ted cruz was doing great weeks ago. donald trump came in second. marco rubio was a distant third. they are closely watching this. no one is seeing any movement where donald trump has moved ahead, but certainly looking for it. so he has got it wired. i would also add that the donor class is probably dri

that comment from john kasich if he had the fire it went out. >> kasich is never known for his message discipline. and the stakes are so high in the mines of many leading republicans. if john kasich is not sure if he is intending to be president, then get out of the race is what undoubtedly what many leading republicans are saying to him right now and let the guys who are in it to win it. and believe their purpose to fight it out. >> they are saying that to john kasich and they are telling him to hand his supporters over to a top contender, what would be the affect of that? >> it would be status quo. the reason they are targeting h supporters and asking them to support rubio. that giant loss to donald trump is smaller. the problems that they have. they have three strong candidates. and donald trump and marco rubio. and they are going to ted. and they toss hillary clinton in the presidential race in ohio. 54- 37 percent. and if you look at his numbers against donald trump. he's losing to trump, 31- 26 in his own home state. that can't bode well. if he's planning to grab ohio and all of

>> john kasich. >> good governor. >> john kasich. >> i'd go for him. >> donald trump. go right around the room. everybody got their word? one word. i want it fast. i want it served up to me. >> leader. >> flashy. >> alpha dog. >> rich. dogmatic. >> narcissistic. >> divisive. >> marco rubio? >> rising star. >> marco rubio. >> fresh race. >> marco rubio. >> strong politician. >> marco rubio. still new. >> marco rubio. >> immigration. >> marco rubio. finish your turn, senator. >> needs experience. >> halle, first to you. these one word reactions, people really get it. they really nailed all sorts of characteristics that we can all see and observe ourselves. >> reporter: right, and especially car trystics the candidates are aware of. they've brought caroline and katherine out there. people can see the humanized ted cruz even though unlikable as a family man is a benefit to the campaign. you talk about cruz being unlikable, andrea, and that is a line of attack we see pushed by, who else? donald trump. you know, he's been tweeting even again this morning, calling cruz a liar

one poll puts kasich in second place behind trump. another has him in a tight battle trying to hold onto 4th place. todd dykes, wlwt news 5. sheree: thank you. speaking at michigan state university. again, he' ll head back to south carolina tomorrow where he' ll attend a meet&greet in greenville and a town hall meeting in lexington county. after justice scalia' s death president obama said he would nominate a replacement in due time. but kentuckian and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says the senate shouldn' t approve any appointments. until after the presidential election. justice scalia was found dead in texas saturday morning. his doctor says he had a history of chronic health problems. funeral plans haven' t been released. today former ohio governor ted strickland called on senator rob portman to vote on president obama' s future justice nominees. mike: the democrat running for portman' s senate seat says that is bigger than politic parties. he demanded that any nominees receive a fair hearing and a senate vote following co

john kasich is presidential. we are one day away from the republican candidates are making their final push to south carolina voters. plus... warm and sunny temperatures this weekend. i'll have your first alert forecast coming up. plus... the gamecock women are champs good morning. thanks for waking up with sunrise. i'm mary king. i'm len kiese. it's 6 o'clock. today -- candidates will make their last plea for votes for tomorrow's south you can see another busy day ahead for the candidates all around the state. last night here in columbia three of those candidates -- donald trump, john kasich and jeb bush -- reached out to south carolina voters at usc's school of law. they took questions during a cnn town hall -- hall's on back to back nights. hot topics from last night -- trump defending his stance on immigration after comments from pope francis that called into question his christian views. jeb bush even came to trump's defense on the topic of his religion. john kasich meanwhile had an emotional moment after re

kasich: carol: we greenville in spartanburg. but there are other upstate counties that have only reported partial results. night. after this. i'm 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, there's 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... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto . nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't 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 a

john kasich. john: yesterday i thought government kasich would be here tonight. his staff said the governor would like to join us. but shortly before our show they stopped answering our phone callings and emails. i don't know why. but it means i will have to examine the governor's record without him. first the bad part. part of obamacare was a deal to offer states extra money about they would expands medicaid. governor kasich said sure we'll and asked to defend this government expansion he invoked god. he says when you die and you meet st. peter he will ask you what you did for the poor. it sounds compassionate and kinds. but a republican governor should know the big government program hurt the poor more than they help. newly eligible for medicaid patients are learning yeah, i'm covered but no doctor will see me. medicaid patients wait longer and receive less care than the uninsured. thanks, government. then there is the cost. america is going broke most live because of big handouts like medicaid. kasich against the wishes of the republican legislature chose to m

kasich must do well here and he knows for a new poll shows kasich in third place behind marco rubio and donald trump. kasich told me he's still the interest in his campaign is climbing here in recent days and he says, they are in a good primary. what if it doesn't continue after new hampshire: >> man: i wanted to have a discussion like that. we had a meeting the other day, we bought out south carolina and a matter what we will do in the south of what to do in michigan but we have to look down the road you want as for marco rubio, he wrapped up tonight and that he got ready for the gop debate which happens tomorrow evening. in derry, new hampshire, i am blair miller, fox 25 speech and on saturday republicans will discuss the issues in manchester. just release today here on stage, you see that lineup, donald trump right in the center. to his right marco rubio, to his left eye chris, carly fiorini did not get a invite. they had to rank in the top three in iowa or the top six in the polls. now earlier we looked at the polls numbers and new hampshire, this poll that was released today had a

kasich spent 12.1 million. christie spent 18 million with spending $585,000 he turned up being number three so i think this is really telling about the attitude, the outsider dynamic, the rejection of the establishment is still very strong. >> you have a different idea your biggest surprises? >> my biggest sbries tonight is that everyone can go to bed, it's over and if you're a campaign young person working for jeb bush it was amazing last night. you finally got what everybody was talking about. absolutely i gave kasich credit, but bush was the biggest surprise. a close second was john. kasich has spent so much time in new hampshire they're going to make him pay taxes and also coming in close there was bernie sanders who everybody thought would win, but i would remind you it was a double digit win. that's another surprise. >> so we have to move to the biggest disappointment. who needs to go home? >> well, for me i was a big fan of carly fiorina dispointing to see her do so poorly here. i think christie has gone

so john kasich will be sleeping in south carolina. we're live at his headquarters in concorde, new hampshire brandon gunnoe, 7 news night team. we saw happen was probably rim necessary incident what we saw? iowa. coming off his surprise win in i works texas senator ted cruz spent this week tempering expectations for new hampshire primary. if you're watching numbers at the bottom of our screen there, cruz is in a fight for third tonight with former florida governor jeb bush. it kind of keeps going back and forth. let's get to cruz campaign jonathan hall is there with what cruz is saying tonight, john. adam, kim, you know his campaign bus here in new hampshire says cruz in victory cruising to third place. because that after all is what happened. cruz has just barely eked out a third place within. not what they want but not disaster for campaign. 45-year-old texas senator has courting evangelical christian that is great in iowa tougher in new hampshire. a they clearly believe cruz is going places. even if it wasn't here. he's ushering a

some money could go potentially to kasich. kasich is looking for some bush money. in texas, cruz could get some bush money. but it's the money that rubio is looking for. >> hold on -- ana, hold it. it's interesting that's money is important but jeb bush and his superpac had more than $100 million and it didn't exactly work out for them. >> money is not everything. donald trump has proved if you can keep your face on the media full-time that you don't need to buy television ads. this race is simple. either the republican party rallies around marco rubio as their last chance to defeat donald trump, or donald trump will be the nominee. and kasich will have to make a decision very soon about whether he wants to be the person that allowed donald trump to be the nominee or the person that fell on the sword and got out of the race. >> everybody stand by. we're standing by to speak with ohio governor john kasich. we're going to get his thoughts on what's going on. he's a republican presidential candidate. much more right after this. ♪virgin islands nice ♪ ♪so nice â™

. >> kasich! kasich! kasich! kasich: we are conservatives here. we believe government is a last resort and not a first resort. as i like to talk about the home, which is the family, we know that the family is only strong. single day to make sure every american has a job in the united states of america. [applause] mr. kasich: and when i am president of the united states, [applause] mr. kasich: first of all, you know, we' re going to have a battering ram knocked down the wall of the city they don' t want to change. it is what i have done all of my lifetime. we' ll will tell people, i believe, i hope you agree -- we will solve the problems in america not by being extreme, not by being first a republican or democrat, but reminding dedicated to shining and fixing our problems. [applause] mr. kasich: this campaign has changed me. the people of new hampshire -- the wonderful people of new hampshire -- have changed me. i want to tell you how it happened. i don' t know, you know, i don' t know if it happened the first 25 town hall to the second 25 for the

but that's kasich, is it not? >> that is john kasich. and i agree with you, he has a tough road after new hampshire, no matter if he finishes third, fourth, or fifth up there. but he has always been very serious about his record. and i think privately, what has really bothered him in this primary season, is the idea that people who are either first-term senators or a businessman from new york are suddenly, you know, seizing the moment, whereas john looks at his background and says, wait a second, on qualification, on just strict resume, i'm more qualified than they are. i think he's been very frustrated about this. but he has used the budget agreement of 1997, by a way of saying, i've done this before, i will do it again. what he doesn't -- go ahead. >> yeah, no, i'm just curious, is he a -- is he don quixote or is he a realist? how is he going to handle a result that is fourth place or worse here on tuesday? does he take a second look at where he stands? >> for all his bluster may be too strong a word, but john is very relatable and exc
