Julia goldman is in South Carolina where a president ial debate will be held by cbs on saturday night. Reporter the campaigns here are ramping up quickly and getting ready for a fight.

Reporter donald trump stormed into South Carolina wednesday. These people. Reporter basking in the glow of his reclaimed frontrunner status. All of these characters are going to give it up. We are going to run the table and we will make America Great again. That i can tell you. Okay . Reporter holding on to his iowa victory, ted cruz tried to argue its a twoman race. Beat donald trump is me. Reporter recent polls have trump up double digits in South Carolina. But its a state cruz thinks he can win. In 2012, twothirds of gop voters described themselves as bornagain or evangelical. Can you imagine donald trump as president of the United States where he spends his time pushing people down to make himself the big dog on the stage . Reporter meanwhile, the diminished gop field continued their fight to become the establishment alternative to trump and cruz. Compare that to governor kasich, where he led the charge to expand medicaid and is quite proud of it. I wouldnt be proud of that, to be honest with you. Reporter john kasich arrived here ready to defend himself. Somebody wants to hit me or hammer me on them, god bless them but i wont back off of this.

Hillary clinton is getting a boost as she and Bernie Sanders prepare for tonights democratic debate. The Congressional Black Caucus is expected to endorse the former secretary of state later today. Minority voters will play a much larger role in nevada and South Carolina. Nancy cordes is at the university of wisconsin, milwaukee, the scene of tonights debate. Reporter good morning. This debate has become high stakes for Hillary Clinton after tuesday. She stayed largely out of sight yesterday, prepping for the debate, while Bernie Sanders did something of a victory lap around new york. To get the vote down there, you have to eat boiled peanut. Have you ever a boiled peanut . Reporter on the late show a native south carolinian. You have that with a nice beer. You want a beer . All right. This is a little reporter but sanders knows it will probably take more than that in a state where blacks make up a solid majority of the democratic electorate. He sat down with the reverend al sharpton in harlem wednesday. Is this your block . Yeah. Reporter later took a walk through his Old Neighborhood with scott pelley where they discussed the road ahead. You are going to be facing africanamerican voters and latino voters. How do you appeal to those people . The same way we do to all reporter but the first black president favors Hillary Clinton clinton. I dont think there is any doubt that he wants hillary to win the nomination and believes she would be the best candidate in the fall. It is great to see so many old friends. Reporter in a speech in springfield, illinois, president obama appeared to echo some of Clintons Campaign themes. Trying to find Common Ground doesnt doesnt make me less of a democrat or less of a progressive. It means im trying to get stuff done. Reporter clinton lost South Carolina eight years ago. Her husbands critiques of mr. Obama there were seen as one reason why. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale ive ever seen. Reporter in New Hampshire this week, it was sanders in his crosshairs which, the candidate discussed on the view. I was disappointed in president clinton. Ive known him 25 years and i like him and respect him. I hope this campaign does not degenerate he is fighting for his wife. I understand that. But nonetheless, lets keep it personal attacks. I agree. Reporter on election night, sanders asked his supporters to donate online and they sent in more than 6 million in 24 hours. It is no accident, charlie, that members of the congressional black contactus are endorsing secretary clinton today to try to erase some of the sting of tuesdays loss. More than a dozen of them say they will be campaigning for her in South Carolina. Thanks, nancy. We spoke early with cbs news political director face the nation john dickerson. Hes in South Carolina preparing for saturdays Republican Debate. Reporter good morning, charlie. Are you outside . Reporter i am joutdoutside. I can see my breath. We brought New Hampshire down to South Carolina and im not sure they are very happy about it. Whats the stakes for each of them in the context of New Hampshire going to South Carolina . Reporter Hillary Clinton wants to turn the page. She wants a new story line to people stopped talking about how badly she lost in New Hampshire. Bernie sanders has to build on that momentum from New Hampshire. He has to give people who are turning to him and looking at him maybe for the first time in a different way a really easy understandable message they can rally around. John, is there any question about how shell do in South Carolina and nevada . The polls suggest that she is far out in front. Reporter exactly. And what she wants to do is lay a predicate for victories in those two places so she can say im a National Candidate and i represent the Broad Coalition of the democratic party. So those two states are very well set up for her. She just needs to get people thinking about those two states and not the last one. So Hillary Clinton is expected to get the endorsement of the Congressional Black Caucus today. Famous black author coat says he is endorsing Bernie Sanders. What kind of difference will that make and what message will it send, if any, to minority voters . Coates endorsement for bernie difference. What makes a difference, Hillary Clinton, i was here six months ago or so and they were organizing in South Carolina among the Africanamerican Community as if she were behind by ten points and that was six months when she wasnt. She has been working the state very hard. There is an organization here that is in place and she has been reaching out to the Africanamerican Community for a long time. She isnt just arriving and hoping for the votes. So that should really help her in this state. John, lets talk about South Carolina for the republicans. The electorate there is much more like iowa than it is New Hampshire. A lot more evangelicals in the republican primary, less does that present a challenge for donald trump . Reporter right. Evangelicals. But trump is way ahead here. Hes in much better shape here than he was in iowa going into the vote there. We will be watching. Thank you. John will be the moderator when cbs news brings you the ninth republican president ial debate saturday night at 6 00 pacific john, could i say, just be yourself. Reporter ill be like gayle. Thank you, john dickerson. Always good to see you. The cruise ship damaged in the atlantic is back at court. Anthem of the seas docked last night.

If we knew the winds of 125mileperhour sustained were going to be in the area, we never would have gone. No question about it. Reporter after reviewing weather reports for the area, a former cruise line captain told us the ship should never have set sail. There really was absolutely no way that that ship was going to avoid that storm. Its a miracle that the damage and the injuries were as minimal as they were. This could have been an absolute catastrophe. Reporter Royal Caribbean offered passengers one more night on board here in port and hundreds of them took them up on the offer. The anthem of the seas will be here for a few days for inspections and repairs and then its off on another cruise next week. Thanks, don. A baltimore server is reeling this morning from a shooting spree that left two sheriffs deputies dead. The violence began wednesday at a panera restaurant in a crowded Shopping Center. Officials believe one deputy was targeted because he was wearing his uniform. Jeff, good morning. One of the deputies was responding to a call at that restaurant when he tried speaking to the suspect who was sitting at a table and that is when investigators say the suspect pulled a gun and fired. Lynn faulkner and her daughter sophia witnessed the chaotic scene inside the crowded restaurant. He just took out his gun and shot him in the head, like right after the officer asked him, how is your day.

There are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy. But i believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place to a nation where every child can not only dream of going to college, but attend one. Where quality healthcare will be a birthright of every citizen. Where a good job is not a wish, but a reality. Where women receive equal pay and a living wage is paid to all. An america where after a lifetime of labor, there is time for rest and grandchildren. A nation that defends our people and our values, but no longer carries so much of that burden alone. I know we can create that america if we listen to our conscience and our hearts and not to the pundits and the naysayers. Im Bernie Sanders. I approve this message, good morning to our viewers in the west. It is thursday, february 11th, 2016. Welcome back to cbs this morning. More real news ahead, including all the women who are voting for Bernie Sanders. Well ask the editor of cosmopolitan if Hillary Clinton can win them back. But first, heres todays eye opener at eight. The campaigns here are gearing up quickly, but despite a smaller field, the republican race is no less uncertain. She stayed largely out of sight prepping for the debate while Bernie Sanders did something of a victory lap around new york. Hillary clinton wants to turn the page. She wants a new story. Bernie sanders has to build on that momentum from New Hampshire. Passengers streamed off the ship. Some were kissing the ground, which is completely believable. Given what they went through. One of the deputies was responding to a call. The suspect pulled a gun and fired. Fidel castro says that you told him that you did you wont tell me anything . Im still struck by hearing a police say so and so was full of poop. You should have been there. I was a little surprised. This grows out of a toptobottom review done by the agency that found gaps in training and proficiency on equipment like this. According to google, ben carson was the least searched for republican candidate during yesterdays New Hampshire primary. Most of the country standing right where we left him. There. Hes still there. Le. Ready, seven. Im charlie rose with gayle king and norah odonnell. The republican president ial candidates are focused this morning on South Carolina. That states gop primary just nine days away. Chris christie and Carly Fiorina will not be there. They dropped out wednesday, and the survivors wasted no time targeting New Hampshire winner donald trump. Donald had a good night last night. Now New Hampshire is a good state. For a liberal republican. He doesnt have any policy positions. He tells you what hes going to do but he wont tell you how hes going to do it. Hes not been tested. Hes a talented guy. And he is an entertaining person. Unless you are a woman. Unless youre hispanic. Unless youre a p. O. W. Unless youre a disabled person. Its really entertaining. But if youre not, its downright divisive and ugly and meanspirited. Donald trump hit back at a rally in South Carolina. But he also took shots at Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Honestly, women dont like her, men dont like her. Take a look at whats happening to her. A guy that nobody ever heard of literally is beating her so bodyly. I dont know. I honestly, i talk about hillary, i honestly dont know if hillarys going to be running. This guy sanders is up ranting and raving like a lunatic. But, you know, he won. But i was there. I saw it. And im shocked. You know, because hes so nontraditional. And i just dont see a socialist as the head of this country. I mean where are we going to . Bernie sanders visited his native brooklyn with scott pelley yesterday and scott asked sanders if he can win in states that are less liberal than New Hampshire . Look, if you and i were having this conversation nine months ago, what would you have said to me . You would have said bernie, nobody knows who you are. Youre regarded as a fringe candidate. You dont have any money. You dont have any political organization. Last poll we saw you with 4 . How are you possibly going to do well in iowa or New Hampshire . Well a lot has happened in nine months. Sanders almost beat clinton in iowa before trouncing her in New Hampshire. He had overwhelming support there from young voters, and women. Our exit polls showed sanders beat clinton by 11 points among all female voters. Under 45 voted for sanders by a huge 40point margin. Joanna coles is editor in chief of cosmopolitan magazine and shes here to talk to us about why clinton is struggling with women. Good morning. Good morning. New hampshire, theres no doubt she got trounced by Bernie Sanders, amongst all demographic groups, including women. What happened . Well, i think one of the things we have to remember in this cycle at this point in the election is that voters are looking for something new. And what we hear from millennial voters in particular is there is a huge mistrust of american institutions. They feel the political system has failed them. If they want to start a business, banks wont lend to them. They would rather raise money on kickstarter because banks brought about the financial crash. This is a generation thats been told to go to college, get a degree, and in fact they go to college, they get a degree, they graduate with huge amounts of debt, and they capital find a job. And of course, Hillary Clinton and so bernie feels like this exciting feelgood candidate whos promising free education, very appealing if youre a young millennial, and i think that hillary is running a general campaign, so shes actually running from a much more moderate place, promising more of the same. And bernie is promising something new, and hes right out on the fringe, running a campaign. What norah is asking, is New Hampshire . Is there, in the nation, a sense that women are perfectly happy with her . Well, first of all other than those who separate themselves out because their millennials. I love your questioning, i think its deeply sexist. The idea that women vote only with our vaginas is as ridiculous as suggesting as men vote only with their penises. They vote for the things they care about. And one of those things is their pocketbooks, right . This is a generation that is deeply in debt. They talk about wanting experience, as well as things because they cant afford things. To be able to buy a house. They cant pay off their student debt. Theyre worried about health care. And bernie appears to be this very exciting, rather cool candidate, as does donald trump. We know that. So why are you asking me why women across america, do they support hillary or not . Because ive been told by the producers that you have been part of the white house and that youve been asking about women specifically and who they favor. Well young women and were very interested in what theyre engaged in. So how theyre so i asked a question, your readers are young women so were asking what are young women thinking. Im trying to tell you. That they dont trust american institutions. Because hillary has been the sect they feel that shes very much at the heart of that government which think they has let them down. And were in a primary part of the campaign when things shift to the general part of the campaign and we have the nominees, i think the discussion will be very different. Hillary and think she is their feminist icon. I think young women think of beyonce or rihanna as their feminist icon. And yesterday there was a fascinating tweet i saw, which had gone everywhere on twitter, which said Madeleine Albright and Gloria Steinem, not my kind of feminism. And you think, well what is your kind of men nymph . Its the mother of feminism. That created a little bit of a kerfuffle the two of them speaking in support of hillary where Gloria Steinem said theyre going to Bernie Sanders because theyre looking for young men. She has sinced walked that back, of course. But that also, i think, rubbed many young women the wrong way. Well i think you can never come out and tell a young generation what they should think. Or what they must think. Or how lucky they are to be in the position. And that was very unfortunate. And we saw it rebounded on them. And i do think that this is a generation that look at beyonce and think, i want to be like her. Look at the way she won the super bowl. Right . No one can remember if it was the broncos or panthers. Beyonce came out. It was the broncos. Who cares. Do you think theres something called clinton fatigue . You alluded to that earlier. I do think that elections this is a consumer culture. We are taught to want new things. And Hillary Clinton, as she herself said, her democratic town hall on cnn, shes been around in the public eye for 25 years. And that feels dull. People want change. That doesnt mean they wont support her in the actual general election when shes up against some of the republican candidates who want to say women have no right to choose, and have no access to abortion which i do think is an important issue for young women. The race is still early. Very early. We cant assume that New Hampshire is going to dictate the rest of the election. On another question, you and your husband are good friends with the mayor, bloomberg. Do you have any sense of where hes leaning . I have no sense of where hes leaning. But it must be very galling for him, i would think, looking at how well donald trump appears to be doing and thinking well i ran the city of new york extremely longer life span, and i also am a billionaire, but i made it myself, i didnt inherit it, and why is donald trump doing so well in the polls . Thank you. All right. Thank you for coming. Joanna coles, good to see you. Michelle miller gets an answer from Lionel Richie on a question that many have been asking. Hello talk about hello.

Toppings so fresh and so clean. Burger king is doing its thing. Deejay, grill that. Ill bet your paying atepgs. Thats snoop dog in a burger employee training video for its newest menu item. Burger king will soon be the biggest restaurant chain selling hot dogs in this country. Starting a week from tuesday, the classic grilled dog will sell for 1. 99 and the chili cheese dog will go for 2. 29. Cbs news financial contributor Mellody Hobson is in chicago. Good morning. Good morning. I know youre playing snoop dogg records at your house. You see that video and you cant think, well, i cant wait to go. Something like that. Why are they doing it now . You know mcdonalds tried in the past. It did not work. Theyre calling this the biggest menu change in years. This is actually big. Theyre doing it because supposedly 20 billion hot dogs are consumed in the United States every year. 20 billion. Wow. And when they tested this in five markets, they found that people spent more money. Instead of choosing between a bought both making a hot dog like a side. So it drove up the average ticket, customers came there to seek the hot dogs, because the competition on a National Scale really doesnt have it. Think about it. Were used to seeing hot dogs on those rollers in convenience stores. Right. Yeah. I was surprised to learn that mcdonalds actually tried this in the 90s. I dont remember that. But they clearly failed at it. Why does burger king think it can succeed where mcdonalds failed . So 1995, it was the mchot dog. I have to admit, i dont remember it either. Yeah. So its been a long time ago. I think that, you know, its a different time now in terms of consumer interest, taste, how these companies are willing to break the mold and be less rigid about what they are. So i think theyve seen that it worked when they tested it. And these companies that test it, lots of new things like mcdonalds now has allday breakfast. And theyve seen that some of these things have actually worked. And i think that theyre going to continue to test new things. Launch, its a category launch. Meaning, i think we can expect more in the way of hot dogs down the road. You know, were always hearing about people wanting healthy, healthy, healthy, and from all we read about hot dogs its like, not, not, not healthy. So why do you think that this is a gamble that they think going to work . Well, theyre saying that theyre partnered with oscar mayer, 100 beef hot dogs. Its the char grilled instead of the boiled or the rollers that were used to seeing. So i think theyre pushing that its fresh and different in that way. But burger king has been unapologetic. They stay in their lane. When you look at their recent offerings like the mozzarella Bacon Cheeseburger or the chicken fries. Or the pulled pork sandwich, they are not talking about healthy fare in those offerings, and i think the customers are still coming to the store. So they want it. How are they doing as a competitor to the other companies . Well, now theyre a private company. So we cant theyre inside of not a standalone like they were. So we cant see their sales on their own. But certainly this whole category has been challenged. Theyve been challenged by the fast casuals like panera and others, chipotle until recently, which has had the problems that theyve had. But theyre, you know, the upstarts like five guys, and theyre really trying to hang on for market share here, which is why i think theyve gotten so willing to be so different and try new things. All right. Mellody hobson, thank you so much. A very frank discussion. Badumbum. Norah, ooh. You got to get credit for it. I borrowed it from the kyron. I cannot take credit for that.

The notre dame house has been serving the homeless since 2008. But soon, the sisters here might be served with an eviction notice. Month rent by more than 50 from about 3,500 to deds 4,5 hundred. What money they have comes from the generosity of others and their own hard work. From some donations and some of the best we know, baking. Too much to make. We already walk day and night making pastries. We cannot make too much more by month. Reporter the kitchen is in San Franciscos tenderloin neighborhood and once considered undesirable, but now within walking distance of a revitalized area of Market Street where twitter opened its headquarters in 2012. Demand for office space has skyrocketed citywide. Its an absolute frenzy. It meant rent has risen dramatically and more than than they were in 2009. San francisco says this is affecting the citys character. If you start losing the nonprofits, whether they be profit or nonprofits or they be the arts, you lose the soul of your city and we cannot have that. Reporter the landlord says the nuns and their kitchen can stay for now, and they plan to meet with him this week, and they know they have a strong devote advocate on their side. We have to pray for him. I hope he understand. God be with him. Reporter for cbs this morning, mireya villarreal. Very strong advocate, indeed. I love that story. I hope someone steps in and help the nuns. Im thinking they will. We will have a part two of this story, no doubt. Once, twice, three times a legend and doesnt coverage you can count on.
