All ahead on face the nation. Captioning sponsored by cbs good mornings, welcome to face the nation from the center here in greenville, South Carolina. At last nights Republican Debate was anything but peaceful. The reputation for brass knuckle candidates they took their brawling primary on to the stage. Donald trump was on the offensive attacking george w. Bush for the war in iraq. Obviously the war in iraq is a big, fat mistake george bush made a mistake. We can make mistakes. But that one was a beauty. We should have never been in iraq. We have destabilized the middle east. Dickerson you still think he should be impeached. Do whatever you want you call it whatever you want i want to tell you they lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none. They knew there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Dickerson okay. All right. I am sick and tired of him going after my family. Reality tv show, my brother was building a Security Apparatus to keep us safe. Im proud of what he did. Hes had the gal to go World Trade Center came down during your brothers dash. Dickerson our cbs Battleground Tracker shows donald trump with a big lead going into the final week before the primary here in South Carolina. 4 . Ted cruz follows at 20 . Marco rubio is at 15. Among the rest of the field john kasich has 9 support. Jeb bush and ben carson are tied at 6. Poll was conducted before last nights debate. We sat down with donald trump last night immediately after the debate asked him how it looked from his end. It was interesting. I mean, they were shooting at me because im leading by a lot i found it to be an amazing evening, i thought it was fascinating, actually. I actually liked it as they say, i one many of the debate this interesting thing as i was being hit from the sides, here, there, but i think it was probably my best performance. Dickerson it seems, though, in some of the things in your campaign moderated you seem to recognize the fact that people might be turned off by constant fighting. I do. I went to ivy league school, i know how to be behave. I can be so politically correct you would be bored to tears, john. But i truly understand that but at the same time when somebody comes at you with lies, lot of lies out there, when you look at what cruz did in iowa with the voter i dont know if you saw it voter violation, made up the fraudulent came to a government demanding that people go out and vote for cruz. When you look at what he did to ben carson. They have to be called out. These are dishonest people. Dickerson you mentioned that the World Trade Center came down during george w. Bushs watch. Are you blaming him for not blaming him. The cia and other groups, the cia said there was lot of that was going to happen. Not blaming anybody. Its a tragedy. Horrible. Worst in our countrys history, worse than pearl harbor, talking about civilians not military. Thousands of people killeda horror show. Now, could he have done something about it . The cia knew about things happening, you could have said, we were safe under his brother. His brother got us into the war in iraq which is one of the worst catastrophes ever. The weapons of mass destruction. The World Trade Center came down during his reign. You cannot say we were safe under his reidn and the cia said something that was going to happen. Dickerson when you say that he lied as you did, weapons werent there there were no weapons of mass destruction. Dickerson this is the democratic partyline. Look. Im a businessman, i built a campaign, people in the audience most were special interests, it was all these people which is fine. Its fine but really not appropriate. But the people in the audience were lobbyists and special interest people. I dont have any of those people because im putting up my own money. I tell the truth. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Im not blaming anybody im just saying he went in there, he thought there were weapons of mass destruction, maybe or maybe he didnt, okay . But he thought there werent. Im telling the truth. Dickerson you said he lied thats but 23 he knew there werent weapons of mass destruction and he used that as an excuse to go in and try to make up for some sins for previous years, then it would be a lie. But i dont think maybe thats true, maybe it isnt true. Dickerson impeached. You wouldnt own that any more. You would want in 2008 you thought they were let me tell you something. The war in iraq is a disaster. It started the chain of events that leads now to the migration, maybe the destruction of europe. Supposed to be a big fan . Im a republican, im a conservative, but the truth is, that we started the war in iraq. We spent 2 trillion on that war. We lost thousands of lives. We have Wounded Warriors all over the place. It shouldnt have started. Would have been so much better off. If you had Saddam Hussein who is bad guy, but killing terrorists, now, if you want to become a tourist you go to iraq thats like the harvard of terrorism, okay . So, look, it was not a great job. People can say hes popular, i dont know why hes popular also have economic collapse at the end of his term. That economic collapse gave us barack obama, without that collapse we wouldnt have had barack obama. Dickerson let me ask you about politics, now. You had a tough ad hitting senator cruz saying he couldnt be trusted you pulled it down, but i just watched it on tv. No, i pulled it down because be a very nice person. Then i saw him do negative ad, i put it back up. Its honorable ad, hes a nasty guy. People dont like him. Think of it, United States senator, you have a lot of friends that are in the senate, in this case he doesnt have any friends. Doesnt have one endorsement from one u. S. Senator these are people that work with him. How can that be possible . You also have questioned his christianity. Is that a christian thing to do . I say. This you cant lie then hold up the bible. Okay . Consistently lies. What he did to ben carson was a disgrace. What he did with the voter violation, which is a fraud. Is a disgrace. You cant do that, you cant hold up all of these values and hold up the bible and then lie. Dickerson speaking of holding up the bible you promised not to use profanity any more. Ive always done it just as way of emphasis and had fun doing it. Running politics we cant do it. Other night, i got standing ovations. Lot of times i dont use i didnt use the word. I explained that tonight, i hope. Dickerson you used a few other words. Not big deal. You know, jeb bush goes on, he said hes going to rip down his pants and moon everybody on the street. Moon everybody. Nobody writes about it. Its in couple of papers but nobody writes about it. Thats far worse. Going to rip down his pants and moon everybody . This is a president ial candidate. Dickerson seems like race to the bottom to me. Its terrible. I think its terrible. But i didnt say it he did. Dickerson he won new hampshire. Give me your sense of the campaign right now . I think were doing great. I just dont people to do robo calls like an example, i deal with manhattan real estate. These people are babies compared to the politics. Robo calls put out. Im leading by a plot as you know. Robo calls put out by we think cruz it was one of his top people. Saying donald trump is not going to be running in South Carolina, thats a fraud. What i have is because i have a little bit of microphone out there. What i have is im able to explain to people that its a lie. A lot of people couldnt do it. Ben carson wasnt able to do that, they hit him very quickly. Took away a lot of votes. Dickerson your tax returns, when are you going to see them . Were working on it very hard. They will be very good. Dickerson come out after the nominations. Im the first one to put my Financial Statement out. I put out Financial Statement with no extensions, with no anything. I have one the worlds most complicated tax returns, its a massive return. But i will get it done as soon as i can. Remember this, when i did my financials which are much more important, when i did my financials everybody thought it would take a year to put them out. I put them out in 30 days everybody was very impressed with them. Dickerson the money that you raised what is the status that have . Giving away a lot of it. Much is given away. Dickerson how much . I dont know. I can tell you i dont know. Lot just going from the people that made it directly to the but much of it is millions have been given out already im very proud of it. Dickerson drum, thank you very much. Thank you. Cbs news conducted overnight poll of what republicans and independents to gauge their reaction to the debate. Respondents thought marco rubio was the winner with 32 . Donald trump was in second with 24 . John kasich came in third with 19 support. Ted cruz behind him at 12 . Ben carson at 8 . Jeb bush at 5. Joining us this morning is winner that have debate at least according to our poll. Florida senator marco rubio, what was it like on the stage for you . Seemed raucous. It was interesting debate. I think its the smallest stage weve had now with six people. More time for everyone to speak, it happened on the night that Justice Scalia left us and passed away i thought that added some somber seriousness to the beginning of the debate. Differences. When donald and jeb going at it a little bit, jeb and donald and other debates i think. The crowd was pretty involved, too. Dickerson you called senator cruz a liar. Well, hes lying. Obviously in the last couple weeks he has really exhibited this very troubling tendency to say things that arent true, just making things up. This week alone had to pull an ad because it didnt tell the truth about my position about sank could you ware cities. Lied about my position on marriage and planned parenthood. Hes not being honest about previous position on immigration. He tried to portray as some sort of purist his record is something very different. These things are being exposed now. Its really a troubling trend. Dickerson what do you think that means in terms of the presidency, though . I think it means someone is willing to say or do anything to win an election. Even if its not true. I think its going to trouble people deeply. We all want to win but you cant just make things up. And if you have a campaign thats willing to do things like what he did to ben carson in iowa, what he apparently is doing here now according to dont know. But donald mentioned that. I think it seeks to how you conduct yourself especially in high intensity situations. I think its very troubling. I hope hell stop doing it. Dickerson you are here in the debate and Chris Christie wasnt you had quite an exchange in new hampshire, the fact that does that mean . Ultimately debate wasnt the reason why chris is not in the race now, hell have to answer that. I like Chris Christie i think he has a future in Public Service beyond being governor of new jersey. I dont think weve heard the last of his service, it was very unour year. Any other year Chris Christie would be front runner but we had all these people running, just worked out the way it did. I wish him the best. Dickerson what do you think of john kasichs point that the bickering is going to help hillary. Ultimately. They had pretty intense debate between her and Bernie Sanders as well lets not forget that barack obama and Hillary Clinton said horrible things about each other he ended up winning she ended up working for him. Be all about policy. If you watch i never launched these attacks. If im attacked i need to respond that was mistake a made a week ago when i didnt. I should have responded about chris record. You get pummeled for that. I dont like it. But unfortunately 134 times you have to do it because people are saying things that just arent true. Dickerson ask you about replacement to Justice Scalia, what is going to happen there, do you think . The president said hes going to nominate someone. He can nominate someone. The senate is not moving forward on it until after the election. Majority leader already made that clear i agree with that. Theres been precedent established over 08 years in the last year, especially in the last 11 months you do not have lame duck president make lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land. Well have election in november. This vacancy will be an issue, voters will get to weigh in then choose a new president then that new president which i expect will be me, will then be able to nominate someone and work with the senate to confirm. Dickerson dont the voters weigh in when they pick the powers extend until the last day if there were emergency. This is lifetime appointment. Not a law you can reverse, this is not a policy you can undo. Theyre going to be there until they die or leave. That is a very serious thing. So, the president can decide whatever he wants but im just telling you the senate is not moving forward. Dickerson if you were president would you have ha last year moratorium. I would understand, yeah. In fact not just for the Supreme Court theres practice that in the last eight months of the presidency or nine you stop doing Appellate Courts as well. I would respect that practice. Dickerson if you had if you were pad you had nominee to put forward would there be a litmus test . I god governor bush, conservestives have said justices who are conservative not about your views on thish auto us its very simple. Does the justice that were nominating have consistent and proven record of interpreting the constitution as initially meant. Those words what do those words mean to that society at the time in which those words were written in the constitution. Thats what i want to have out of justice that looks at legislation says, what was the meaning mind this legislation when it was passed by congress. If you dont like the meaning, then theres a practice, constitution provides a process to change the constitution called article v it gives you a process for changing the constitution. Im looking for people that are going to look at the constitution and apply it and interpret it based on the original meaning of the words in that document. Dickerson talk about politics a little bit. You did well in iowa, less well in new hampshire. How well do you have to do in South Carolina and when you have to put a stake in the win column . Going to get into the weeds here on politics early on. In these early states its all proportional. If you look what happens in new hampshire, i finished in fifth but same number of delegates as person who finished in fourth and third. Same in iowa. Only one less delegate than in these proportional states we just want to continue to pick up delegates and do consistently well. Once we get into the win or take all now stakes become much higher. For us i think its continuing to do well in these early states. Get ourselves in the strong delegate position then really give ourselves the opportunity when race is narrowed to do real well. Dickerson is it a onetwo process, in other words, basically best governor bush and kasich to be alternative then take on donald trump . Except if you look at it one of the reason why im the candidate that gets attacked by everyone in this race, ive been attacked by ted cruz, attacked by Chris Christie, attacked by jeb bush, i get attacked by everybody. Because i believe our message one that appeals to voters across the republican party. So, i think thats why ultimately i am the only one left in this race that can bring this Party Together quickly and then grow the conservative movement. Ive never viewed myself in one on one competition with anyone on that debate stage last night. Appeals to voters supporting everyone. Dickerson senator marco rubio, thanks. Well be back in a minute.

J late yesterday afternoon word came that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died at the age of 79. A key conservative on the court his death has already had an impact on the president ial campaign. We go to jon crawford outside the Supreme Court in washington. Jan . News of scalias death sent shock waves the loss of this larger than life figure here at the courts and in the law, regardless of your ideology, i think it is almost hard to imagine the when justices return to the bench next week the empty seat will be scalias. The remedy for a case is always subject to the courts and always depends upon the realities on the ground. Reporter he was a giant in the law. Nominated by president reagan, Justice Scalia shaped the conservative Legal Movement with his sharp intellect and his clear colorful writing. Like his dissent calling the courts decision upholding obamacare, pure apple sauce. One of his most significant decisions for the court that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. He told 60 minutes lesley stahl he couldnt imagine doing anything else. When i first came on the court, i thought i would foresure get off as soon as i could, which would have been when i turned 65. Because, you know, justices retire at full salary. So theres no reason not to leave and go off and do something else. I cannot think of what i would do for an encore, i cant think of any other job that i would find as interesting and as satisfying. Reporter but almost his death broke the fight began over his successor the Supreme Court now is divided 44. And republicans already are vowing to block whoever the president sends up. John . Dickerson janf they do block the person, what happens to the court . Reporter i think that is a very likely scenario that we will not have a ninth justice on the Supreme Court for the indefinite future that means that the Lower Court Decision all of these controversial cases that the justices will be hearing this term, that decision will remain. So, we are going to have cases this term on affirmative action, boring, the future of obamacare, on labor unions, it is a docket chalk full of controversy. But the already Court Decision if the court split 44 would stand. It means that all the controversy some ways that we expect here at the court now will be shifted across is the where the fight will be in congress. Dickerson all right, jan crawford, thanks so much.

Our cbs news Battleground Tracker shows Hillary Clinton with a wide lead here over Bernie Sanders at 59 to 40 . Senator sanders joins us now from denver, colorado. Senator, you hear you have quite a bit of work to do here in South Carolina. How do you expect to close the gap between you and secretary clinton . Well, we have thousands of volunteers in South Carolina. Were to knock wrong doors, making phone calls, if you look at that poll, john, what youll see is that we have already made up a significant difference. The gap used to be much larger, momentum is with us were going to do quite well in south doing very, very well in nevada as well. Dickerson you have a large share if you look inside of the polls you have a large share where voters but having difficulty within African American community. Youve been trying to address that. Talk about what youve been trying to do and if youve been able to make any progress with African American voters . Well, i think we certainly have. We started off way, way behind with the African American community. We have closed that gap, still have a long way to go. We have brought on surrogates, were doing fantastic job for us of people like ben gellous former head of the naacp we have a former state senator from ohio who has been out there. Keith ellison the cochairman of the progressive caucus in the u. S. House we have just great surrogates out there. African American Communities in the next week and i think youre going to see a lot of momentum for us. We have just a minute left, i want to ask you, what is your path when you look at Going Forward to states after South Carolina, where should those who support you be looking for you to do well . Well, you know, i think we surprised a lot of people in iowa. John, as you may recall, we started off 40 or 50 points behind. We certainly surprised people in new hampshire. And i think were going to continue to surprise people. Right now speaking to you from denver, colorado. Last night we had a rally, close to 0,000 people out at that rally i think were going to do very well here in colorado. I think were going to do well in minnesota. I think you are going to see us doing far better across the board. Dickerson all right, senator hold it right there. Well be back with more from you well take this quick break.

Dickerson welcome book im John Dickerson in greenville, South Carolina, where a Republican Debate was held. Beer back now with more from senator Bernie Sanders on the democratic race. Senator sanders before we get back to the political questions i want to ask you about the president s replacement for Antonin Scalia what do you think will happen . Hes going to nominate somebody but republicans have said well, ill say, john, it is beyond my comprehension and just speaks the unbelievable level and unprecedented level of republican obstructionism against obama from day one. This is not something that is in debate. The constitution of the United States of america provides that the president appoints, nominates, a Supreme Court justice. And then the senate holds hearings and deliberation and votes on whether or not to approve that nomination. The idea that republicans want to deny the president of the United States is basic constitutional right is beyond my comprehension. I will do everything that i can to make sure that when the president makes his nomination, the senate goes forward in as speedy a process as possible. Holds the necessary hearings and hopefully appoints and selects
