The nevada caucuses are donald trump to lose. He leads every public poll in the state. Senators marco rubio and ted cruz are expected to fight for second place. Sounds like South Carolina. Were expecting to have results from nevada in less than an hour. Stay with us. Well make sure that our website is updated, abccolumbia. Com and beginning at 5 00 a. M. , we will have the latest for you on good morning columbia. The republicans have moved on to super tuesday but the in the primary to worry about. Tonight, south carolinians got a chance to ask Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton their questions face to face. Our grace joyal is live with what they had to say. Grace . Polls show Hillary Clinton up 24 points over sanders in the state. That doesnt mean much to the sanders campaign. Sanders said when he first started here in South Carolina, no one who knew who he was. [ cheers ] Bernie Sanders opened the town hall in columbia by reemphasizing his call for clinton to release transcripts of paid speeches she made to wall street banks after she left the state department. Im very happy to release all of my paid speeches to wall street. Here it is, chris. There aint none. [laughter] i dont do that. I dont get i dont get speak fees. Hillary clinton said she will release details of the speech only when other candidates do sanders agrees with president bay. He says it will help us in the long run. Sanders committed to increasing funding for historically black college plan. When asked about guantanamo bay, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton said shes long supported its closure. As for prisoners being transferred to charleston, she said thats up for negotiation. Election, president obama, senator mccain and i all had the same position. I hope some of the republicans will understand that were in a fight against terrorism. We have to defeat it. We dont need to have guantanamo hanging out there over our heads. On police brutality, clinton says there are too many exam bells of unarmed citizens being shot at by police. Clinton used walter scott and zachary ham mons as examples. A court ruling to lead to a subpoena for her private email server. To worried voters. She said theres into basis for this. With 59 delegates up for grabs its the largest amount at stake so far. And its a chance for redemption to a gamechanging law to president obama back in 08. Before tonights on hall, Hillary Clinton has been hosting a series of townhall style meetings at churches across the palmetto state and she held a breaking down barriers tonight at central baptist church. She was joined by mothers of the movement a group of womens who whose children have died in racially charged incidents including the mother of trayvon martin. She said the country must come up with solutions to address the Community Gaps for africanamericans and also must combat systemic racism. Deal with the gun culture around the epidemic of violence, to keep guns out of the hds of those who should not have them in the first place. [ applause ] last week, Hillary Clinton met with al sharpton and other civil vites activists to speak on the same issues. Republican candidate dr. Ben carson is defending some comments he made about president obamas race tonight. Carson told a politico reporter that if he was elected president , he might be the first true africanamerican to hold the office. He then suggested president obama, who was born to a kenyan father, and a White American mother was raised white. So he cannot really identify with the experience of black americans. Today, the retired neurosurgeon tried to defend his comments. I dont think anybody would deny that someone who is raised in hawaii by his white mative years in indonesia with his mother does not have the typical black experience. The white house has not reacted to his remarks. Carson finished six out of six candidates in last weekends South Carolina gop primary. President obama has unveiled his longawaited plan to close the detention facility at guantanamo bay. It was a promise he made on his first full day in office. Firefighter weif we doesnt do whats refired now, i think future generations are gonna look back and ask why we failed to act when the right course the right side of history and justice and our best american traditions was clear. There are just over 90 detainees left in the cuban facility. 35 have been determined eligible to be transferred overseas. That do lead 40 to 60 prisoners transferred to a military or civilian prison in the u. S. Here at home, inside the statehouse legislation to help the department of revenue reduce income tax fraud cleared a house vote unanimously. Businesses have until january can 31st to send employees beige wage documents to the revenue department. Current law gave them an extra law in time. The director said criminals take advantage of that extra time to send in fake documents. South carolinians should not expect to see their state refund until after march 1st. The longer processing time will alou the agency to allow the agency to verify documents. Many dream of traveling into space. Judging from this video posted on twitter by mark kelly, we see someone in a gorilla suit bursting out of a bag on the oh, my goodness. Station and ter trizzing terrorizing a crew member.

Coming up clemson basketball tries to play its way back onto the ncaa tournament bubble. And another good impression from another new face for first impression. Hi, im tim hill. A newlook quite the first impression. Im tim hill. A new Carolina Baseball Team off to a 30 start. A lot of new faces. The trend continues. Usc trying to beat the weather and Appalachian State at founders park. Adam hill gets his First College start. Looks like he retires the first ten batters. Most of them by strikeouts. Look at this line. Hill, six shutout innings, two hits, 11 strikeouts, zero walks. Impressive, indeed. Gamecock offense slow in starting. Second inning, no hits. Spring valleys between cone at the plate. Going gene cone at the plate. Biff bunt. First hit of the game for later in the inning, bases loaded for marcus mooney. He thought it was gone. Mountaineers cant quite come up with it and cone would come around from 2nd base to score the second run on the play. The gamecocks take a 20 lead. Jonah bride, the new starting third baseman from oklahoma adding an rbi single in the third and carolina cruises 50, the final score. Chad holbrook, the coach pleased with him. We thought when we signed adam that we were getting the kid that had a bright future. I think you can see why we thought that today. He performed extremely well. There were nerves before i got out there and nerves when i got on the mound. But once i threw my first pitch, it was like any other game. Back to the basics. Doing what i do. Usc back at it tomorrow at klemmsome baseball needed to get back in the ncaa conversation. That means a second win against georgia tech. Jaron blossomgame, by 14. Team high 22 on the game. Clemson in control. Looking to up 14 at the end of the first half. Instead of marcus georges, beats the buzzer. Yellow jackets complete the comeback late in the second half. Adam smith, huge second half. Clemson down 3 in the final seconds. Donte grantham, talk about a huge second half. All of his 16 points come after halftime. Ties it up. Georgia tech going right to the hoop in the final second and georgias hunt gets the call at home. Replay would confirm it was correct. Game high 25. Jaron blossomgame gets a chance georgia tech likely bursting clemsos tournament bumper to bumper tonight. Tigers got to 1612 on the bubble tonight. Kevin punter is not expected to play in this game because of a stress fracture. He scored a career high 36 when the vols beat the gamecocks last month. Frank martin said its a loss his team learned from. We played hard that game but we didnt compete and its our job as coaches to let guys know thats not acceptable, not what you want to get better. We grew from that day. Day. Play of the day, vandy at florida. Nice block to josh hen derston henderson from 80 feet. Vandy gets the win, 8774.
