Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders are facing off in the South Carolina primary where the polls close in less than 30 minutes. Exit polls suggest the economy and jobs are the most important issues to voters there. And 70 of democratic voters told us they want the next president to continue president obamas policies. More now from nancy cordes in columbia, South Carolina. Welcome to ward 9. Reporter the First Southern democrats cast their ballots today in whats expected to be a lo porto sided contest. I have known Hillary Clinton, i guess about 100 years. Shes very humble. Shes calm. I think its about time that we have a female president. You want to get a picture together . Reporter clinton camped out in the state all week, working to run up the score. Many super tuesday states as possible in three days. Clinton will stick to the south, visiting tennessee, arkansas, and virginia. She even popped over to alabama today before returning to South Carolina to watch the results. So i want to thank the mayor to do for doing what he tried to do to raise the minimum wage in birmingham. Reporter sanders will and colorado. And while polls show clinton has a big lead in texas, sanders cant afford to ignore the delegaterich state. Thats where he went today and was greeted by a crowd of 10,000. I believe that Donald Trumps idea of dividing us up is a horrific, unamerican idea. Reporter he wasnt the only one talking about the latest twists in the g. O. P. Race. You wouldnt know anything about it because youre a lousy businessman. I dont know anything about bankrupting four companies. Reporter the voters we met were transfixed, too. I dont want my son to look at those debates and think thats the way he should behave in society. Reporter Malcolm Harris is a veteran and former republican. It doesnt look like a party. It looks like a w. W. F. Fight going on, on stage, and no policies. None. Reporter there is a sign that sanders does not expect to close the gap is right behind me clinton will be speaking from that podium tonight hoping to celebrate a big win while sanders, jim, left the state for good this morning. Axelrod nancy cordes in columbia. Thank you very much. Now to the republicans and the sniping between donald trump and marco rubio. What started in thursday nights Republican Debate is only getting nastier this weekend. Heres Julianna Goldman. He couldnt get elected dog catcher in florida. Hes flying around on hair force one. Reporter for the second rubio hurled the kind of insults more often heard in a school campaign. Rubio, total lightweight. And little mouth on him, bing, bing, bing. Donald trump, a con artist, will never get control of this party. I see him starting to sweat. Thank god he has really large ears, the biggest ears ive ever seen, because they were protecting him. The guy with the worst spray tan in america is attacking me for putting on makeup. cheers and applause donald trump likes to sue people. He should sue whoever did that to his face. Reporter rubio is betting on mudd slinging to defeat g. O. P. Frontrunner, but others in the party fear a Trump Victory is inevitable. It is my honor and privilege to introduce to you the next president of the United States of america, donald trump. Reporter as trump rewrites the campaign playbook, hes forging new alliances with winner, like with chris christi, and maines governor paul lepage, who according to the New York Times just last week said a trump nomination would deeply wound the Republican Party. Meanwhile, republican leaders, Like Senate Majority leader mitch mcconnell, are working on a backup plan. The times says hes given republican incumbents the green light to break with trump if hes the nominee. But the Republican Party may be too decentralized. Various attempts to stop trump went nowhere, like a superpac proposed in this memo that was circulated last fall to top donors, including billionaire sheldon adelson. If trump wins, it says, everyone loses. Trumps opponents do seem to have unified around calling on him to release his tax returns to up the pressure. Rubio today provided forms showing he and his wife made 2. 3 million from 20102014 and paid about 526,000 in taxes, but, jim, these are just theyre not the complete returns, like Hillary Clinton has provided and like mitt romney provided in 2012. Axelrod Julianna Goldman with the latest on the republican side of the race. Thank you. Senator ted cruz has promisedded to release his tax returns soon, and hes pressing donald trump to do the same. In an interview with John Dickerson for face the nation, cruz suggested trumps refusal to show his returns raises ethical questions. Why is it a problem if he doesnt release his taxes . Well, he said in the debate, he said, gosh, im being audited for two years, then he said three years, then he said maybe five years. Listen, if theres a problem in his taxes the voters have a right to know because come september, october, the general election, folk in addition the media are going to make a heyday about any problems with his taxes and i think primary voters have a right to know. Axelrod you can see the rest of johns interview with ted cruz tomorrow morning on face the nation.

Elizabeth palmer is in damascus, where shes been talking to people shocked at the break in the fighting. Reporter here in damascus after the partial ceasefire took effect, we did continue to hear sporadic shelling and mort arg from the city suburbs. But overall, day one has gone better than anyone expected, although, of course, there is no official monitoring. We went down into the center of damascus to a park thats both a campsite and a hangout for some of the thousands of syrians who had to flee from other areas. And like everyone else whose lives have been shattered by the war, they hope todays lull might actually somehow lead to lasting peace. Want to go home. Throughout the day, there were several reports of violations, rebel groups accuse the army of breaking a truce, but there are no major incidents. Russia actually grounded its bombers for the day. But president putin has only promised a 24hour pause, so it is quite possible those russian planes will be in the air again tomorrow hitting the Al Qaedalinked nusra front, and isis fighters.

Kamala khan is just an average teen from jersey city who happens to have shapeshifting abilities. She also happens to be muslim. Sana amanat is the series editor.

Reporter to tell that story, amanat drew on her own childhood growing up as a muslim in new jersey.

It was a big turning point in my life because it was the first moment where i realized i was the other. Reporter she found solace in comic books, like the of mutant who do good in the face of prejudice. In the first issue of ms.

Its a story that resonated with readers everywhere. That issue went through an unprecedented seven printings and was a New York Times bestseller, with over 20,000 copies.

Diversity has always been really important in comics. Reporter john jay professor Jonathan Gray writes about comics and pop culture. That marvel is representing this character at a time when we have some, you know, Divisive Political rhetoric, i think it shows that we can sort of embrace our diversity and not sort of be turned off by it. Reporter ms. Marvel has been a phenomenon, a sign of the marvel, the most recent issue of the franchise series the avengers features kamala khan, front and center. Amanat says their intention was never political. We went in to try to tell a unique story, who muslims are and who muslims can be, but really about who a good person is. Reporter in these stories, marvel presents diversity as struggle and strength. Their corporate motto could well be, with great power comes great responsibility. Don dahler, cbs news, new york.
