We begin with a campaign 2016 update from nevada where cbs news projects Hillary Clinton has defeated Bernie Sanders in todays democratic caucuses. Have a look at the numbers as the count continues at this sanders 48 . On the republican side, polls close in South Carolina in half an hour at 7 00 eastern time. We have both contests covered, starting with nancy cordes and nancy. Reporter jim, this is a huge relief for the clinton camp after a brutal loss in New Hampshire a week and a half ago. Clinton herself took the stage here at Caesars Palace in las vegas about 15 minutes ago. Say. I want to thank each and every one of you. You turned out in every corner of the state with determination and purpose. Hotel and casino workers who never wavered. Tens of thousands of men and women with kids to raise, bills to pay, and dreams that wont die. This is your campaign. applause and it is reporter in a statement, senator sanders said, i just spoke to secretary clinton and congratulated her on her victory here in nevada. I am very proud of the campaign we ran. Five weeks ago we were 25 points behind, and we ended up in a very close election. And, indeed, the clinton camp got a big scare earlier this week when polls showed her huge longtime lead had essentially evaporated. But she really barnstormed the vegas strip over the past couple of days, meeting with casino workers and dish washers and maids. In fact, we attended a caucus here at caesars earlier today. We met a maid who had met Hillary Clinton twice in the past week, and it really seems like that geographical focus here is the big group, though, that clinton has to thank for her victory women. According to our entrance polls, they broke for clinton 51 to 47 . And they turned out in greater numbers than men. So that was a big turnaround from New Hampshire where she lost among women by 11 points. Older voters, another key to her victory, voters over 45 went for clinton 66 to 31 , jim. Axelrod nancy cordes with the winning numbers for Hillary Clinton in nevada. Nancy, thank you. Now to the republican race, the polls will remain open until the top of the hour in South Carolina. Major garrett joins us from spartanburg, South Carolina, major. Reporter jim, state officials predicted record turnout. South carolina is famous for hardfought, competitive primaries, and voters who make up their mind late in the process. Donald trump has predicted victory here. Meanwhile, ted cruz and marco close the gap. Its crunch time, folks. Its crunch time. You know what that means, right . Reporter at Donald Trumps last rally before the South Carolina primary, he urged supporters to give him a mandate. Youre going to say to yourselves, that was one of the great evenings and one of the great days of your lives. Reporter the size of trump crowds in polls here point to a second primary victory for the developer. Please remember to vote for marco rubio today. Reporter volunteers for marco rubio worked the phones on primary day. Rubio is battling ted cruz for second place. Cruz has flooded state with tv ads, phone calls, and mailers and volunteers, likely not enough to catch trump but range. Conservative record. Reporter a small band of jeb bush volunteers looked for a ray of hope. I feel great. Im always excited on election day. Reporter while bush hunted votes in greenville, a fourth place finish or worse could prove fatal. Again, dismissed him as unelectable. Trump cant win, plain and simple. This isnt about appealing to peoples deep anxiety, which is legitimate. He cant be president. Reporter we interviewed trump friday and he told us he doesnt fear a smaller g. O. P. Field once his competitors start to drop out. Im going to get a lot of those vote, so when the field shrinks im at 35, 42, i have polls all over the place but im already up into the 40s in many polls. When the field shrinks im going to get a lot. Reporter john kasich arrived here with almost no on. Advisers now hope he could surpass bush. There will be a scramble right up till the last ballot is cast, but what i do know is were going to do far better than what the pundits thought we were going to do, and, you know, were going to do a lot better than 1 or 2 of the vote here. Reporter when all the votes are counted, the battle will not only be over who finished where but who deified or who fell short of expectations. Jim, the mystical powers of that conversation. Axelrod major, thank you. Now, for analysis of this big day in president ial politics, we want to bring in the man standing next to you, major, bob schieffer, who has covered every president ial election since 1968. Bob, lets start with Hillary Clinton, who is headed your way now. Does her win in nevada today steady her ship for South Carolina holding its democratic primary a week from today . Reporter you know, i think it means that her ship is not taking on water like it was. This would have been a very embarrassing defeat if this had been even a close win for Hillary Clinton. This is not as big as they would have probably hoped for, but i relief. Shes won. This will give her a little bump going into South Carolina where, if predictions hold, she will win decisively over Bernie Sanders because of the large jim. Axelrod all right, bob. So lets talk republicans. It has been a week of vivid with his dustup with the pope, taking on george w. Bush. Just today, mr. Trump wondered via a tweet if mr. Obama would have attended Justice Scalias funeral if it were neld a mosque. You have been talking to a lot of trump supporters. How does this kind of coverage affect his connection with his supporters . Reporter you know, i was at a trump rally last night, and i have to say, his supporters at that rally love him. But we have been reporting earlier this week that some of his support seemed to be declining in South Carolina. And were seeing an indication in some of these exit polls that, that may actually be true. One of the questions we asked voters, who do you think has conducted the most Unfair Campaign down here . And it was trump by about 40 . He was leading among those who considered him conducting those those conducting an Unfair Campaign. So this may tell us that hes not going to win here by as much axelrod okay bob schieffer, and major garrett, thank you both so much. A week after he died while vacationing in texas, Supreme Court Antonin Scalia was laid to rest today after his funeral in washington. Our chief Legal Correspondent jan crawford was there. Reporter the bells tolled 79 times for justice scalia, one for each year of his life, as his casket was carried bothe basilica. Thousands of mourners gathered to pay final respects for a legal giant, the courts most influential conservative voice. Let us pray. Reporter scalias son, the reverend paul scalia, led the mass, delivering a moving and personal homily. But more important to us and to him, he was dad. Sure, he forgot our names at times or mixed them up. But there are nine of us. laughter he loved us. And sought to show that love. Reporter with those memories, there was humor. He had found himself in my confessional line. laughter and he quickly departed it. laughter as he put it later, like heck if im confessing to you. Reporter all eight justices were in attendance. Justice clarence thomas, the only justice to speak, read scripture from the book of romans. Because the love of god has poured out into our hearts. Reporter it was the second day of official mourning for scalia, who lay in repose friday at the Supreme Court. People were still waiting in line late friday night to pay respects to a man who left a Lasting Imprint on the law and whose sudden death leaves a void difficult to fill. Now, Justice Scalias burial was private and by tomorrow, with the end of the official mourning, washington will immediately turn its focus on to the battle over his successor. Jim. Axelrod jan, thank you. Now to the clash between apple and the f. B. I. This week, apple announced it would fight a court order to unlock an iphone belonging to one of the San Bernardino terrorists, citing privacy concerns. Lets bring in cbs News Business analyst jill schlesinger. A lot of angles to this story, jill. Lets look at the business angle and what this could mean to apples brand. Reporter you know, its amazing. Apple fans, they are so loyal. We look at marketing surveys and they say, part of the reason we love apple is because of the privacy. Right after this thing went public, we saw twitter light up with people saying, thank you, apple, with a special hashtag. This is part of apples brand promise privacy, security. And i think thats part of the battle. Axelrod new york Police John Miller said yesterday, hang othere were iphones in the pockets of People Killed in california and paris as well. So in a way this is also a loselose for apple. Reporter absolutely. In fact we know that johns boss, mr. Bratton, the commissioner said this was corporate irresponsibility. And i think apple is a little bit concerned because they may make people upset about, hey, why arent you complying . This is national security. But, on the other hand, again, this is part of the promise. And, frankly, what if these people get upset and say, hey, apples not going to do this. Well go somewhere else. Maybe another company will do it. Axelrod steve jobs, apples founder, famously apolitical. The current c. E. O. , tom cook, not so much. Reporter wanting to be part of the topic. Very supportive upon l. G. B. T. Issues, very supportive of environmental issues. I think he believes this is a part of his legacy air, moral legacy at apple and i think it helps him sell more iphones macs. Axelrod thank you.
