State putting 50 delegates and the trump column. Senator ted cruz in second place, 11 delegates and senator rubio third with 10 delegates. In nevada it is the battle for second place. Todays developments only accentuating the intensity of the fight there. The Cruz Campaign accused of dirty tricks and dishonesty in South Carolina over the weekend and today cruz had to fire his Campaign Communications director for tyler. Tyler admitted and apologized for his promotion of a video that wrongly depicted rubio as insulting the bible. Rick tyler is a good man. This was a grave error of judgment. Turned out that mr. You sent around was false but even if it was true we are not a campaign that will question the faith of another candidate. Even if it was true our campaign should not have sounded. We will have reaction. We are joined by senator Jeff Sessions and who has the political advantage now . Can trump wanted all . Will cruz and rubio battle one another . Will they take on trump with this n

We have the power in this process, but only if were willing to use it. Only if were willing to expect more out of our wouldbe leaders and only if were willing to expect more out of ourselves. We have a job to do, and that job is not just to find the guy that can shout freedom the loudest. Its not just the guy that can tell the best joe biden jokes. By the way, did you hear what joe biden said the other day . Never mind its too easy. If thats what conservatives reward, and if thats all they reward in the next year and over the next two days here at cpac, if thats what they reward with cheers and Standing Ovations and straw poll votes, then thats all that we as conservatives will ever get, talking points and platitudes and empty promises, but when conservatives elevate on serious preside
And youre going to hear a lot of that over the next 12 hours. I want to tenp you something c;s to bes pz optimistic about as we kick off my partdh there are in americans a deep there are deep reserves of feelings that america is a lot more about countrytg than its about the federal register. There is in america a deep skepticism of the idea that you can centrally plan all of life. Weve got things that youre going to hear about. Senator lee did a great job in the last sessionu ptalking about the crisis of ther three branches that check and balance one another. Theres polling showing only about 38 of the voting public know that we have three branches of government. So when we have a crisis of a legislature thats for decades kicked legislative and lawmaking authority to the executives, and we have an executive that just claim the authorities that violate his constitutional oath, theren crisis.

Our people built the farms, the ranches, the schools, the4 5n churches, the not for profit associations, the cpac, almost everything meaningful in American Life happened just as senator lee said by voluntaryism.

As of sunday afternoon the number of people arrested for their actions inside the capitol was up to 116, and counting. But there is some good news when it comes to security concerns. The big protrump demonstrations that were expected over the weekend, well, they never happened and most state capitols the protesters were actually outnumbered by the police. I want to bring in ellison barber on capitol hill and dasha burns in lansing, michigan. When i got to d. C. Last night, i just couldnt believe this city, entire city blocks, every street level business boarded up with military presence and check points. It feels like at every corner. Talk to us about where you are. Yeah, its not a d. C. That most of us who have been here before have seen before and i told you earlier in the week or last week, rather, that whether you talk to someone whos lived here for five years or 50 years they almost always say they
