Nbcs Kristen Welker covering the democrats for us in south krlaisten, good morning. Reporter jeff, good morning. The polls just opened in South Carolina. Im at a polling placeban columbia where folks started to file through. Secretary clinton has a double digit lead here. Her campaign insists they are granted. Senator sanders is not giving up. Still sharply focused on super tuesday. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders trying to catch fire at the oyster roast friday night. Making a series of stoorgat voters head to the polls. Lets have a great turnout in South Carolina. The South Carolina a rimaryal iu personally important to me. Reporter and the democratic candidat are sharpening attacks. Hi pllary clinton hitngting sanders on guns. We need to strip the immunity that the congress voted for, including my opponent, giving gun makers and sellers immunity. Reporter and sanders trying to court critical africanamerican voters here criticized clintons stance on e death penalty. My opponent belieres in the death penalty. I do not.

Do you apologizeteo black people . Reporter clinton sn. D she was talking about drug cartel shs. Still, clinton tops africanamericans by double digits, leaving some to wonder if sanders can stop her. Can a democratic candidate win the nomination . I dont think so. Thechfricanamerican coalition is probably one of the most im ortynt to a demaatic candidate. And while senator sanders ic hoping to nar wc he gap here, the past week he has been campaigning in super tuesday states. In fact, he is not going to be here w a the v trs come in. Instead, he will be holding a rally in minnesota. Jeff and erica. We will watch it. Kristen, thank you. Harold ford jr. Is a tennessee congre member and political b analyst. So is josh barrow. The New York Times correspondent. Good morning. Good morning. Nice to have you with us. This Chris Christie announcement took so many by surprise when it popped up on our phones yesterday. Interesting specifically because some of the terminology he used to describe donald trump in tus past. Naive. On february 7th, h told a crowd he is just not the right person to be president of the United States and not the person we want representing our country. What is the impact of not only the flip flo mp from christie, but the endorsement when it comes to voters. Do they care . Ronald reagan chose george w. Bush. Kennedy chose johnson. We have a long history of this. That wasnt the big surprise the surprise f some was that christie gives him an imprint of an establishment republican with him. I think most important for christie, im sorry, trump, christie will be an important surrogate with him in the early states and ones after that. Making the case that rubio is not fit to be president. Important day for trump. Josh, are you surprised that marco rubio is getting more aggressive. Talking about makeup application with donald trp. Now comments about donald trump wetting his pants. Is this a smart tactic or is it too late . I dont know. I think it is very late. If he was going to do this, he should have done this months ago. He is trying to be donald trump. Why did he want t full length rrore it is really undignified. For months, one of the cases is donald trump is too undignified. If he nly way to beat him is to act like him . I dont know. We are three days away from per tuesday, it is too late to make the shift. If you are going to beat trump, you have to make im look small and silly. Calling him a con artist is a good line. Calling out Trump University is a good call. You cannot make the argument this quickly. I dont think you can tear it down in three days. The question is where was this before . The animation and emotion and pointed attacks. I agree with you. I dont know how this sticks with trump this late in the game. Is there anything at this point that rubio or cruz can do to make a move . I think we will know that by march 15th. The republicans award delegatco proportionately. Winner takes all on march 15th. The winner take all. If trump wins texas, a lot of this, before we get to the 15th, you see trump being able to make the case that im prohibitive frontr fuunner. Fit is difficult to stop me. You may see more endorsements. What about the democratic side . Any path for Bernie Sanders . It is challenging. When you look at the states that is have already voted, states that are favorable to sanders. Especially iowa and New Hampshire. If sanders was going to just beat hillary nationally, he probably needed to win he goha by 20 points. He about tied it. He needed to win New Hampshire by 30. In South Carolina, he can lose it, but lose it by too much. As the map gets more filled in, he continues to underperform, he will not be the nominee. Two weeks ago. The story was powerful if sanders pulled off the victory in nevada. I think the chairman from south the demographics and the ri anamerican population, Bernie Sanders has issues. Know he has one surrogate about the remarks she made 20 years ago. The path seems to have narrowed in the last week or two. Lots to watch. Thank you.
