He changed his mind after sanders trounced her in New Hampshire and caught up to her in the polls here. For cbs this Morning Saturday, im nancy cordes, in las vegas. Joining us now with insights lauren fox, a reporter for the political website talking points. What has happened in nevada . Hillary clinton had an early lead there and Bernie Sanders didnt open an office until october and now things have tightened up. Certainly what we are seeing in nevada is across the rest of the country as Hillary Clinton has started campaigning. Bernie sanders is gaining a lot of momentum with young people and he is starting to really break through with latino voters who are key demographic in nevada and democrats especially. I think Bernie Sanders coming off of a win in New Hampshire and has momentum and keep moving with that. I think tonight is close and as Hillary Clinton wins or loses in nevada, especially if its a close win in nevada, she has to move to South Carolina and really that has to be where her firewall is and where she definitively wins and be the leader in this race. You use the magic word momentum which is an important part of this. What do you think happens in well, i think that if Bernie Sanders starts to do well with latino voters and what we see tonight he does well among young people and latino voters then maybe some of the black voters in South Carolina will give him a closer look. What we have seen is Hillary Clinton really has a lock on minority voters in South Carolina so far. But that could start to change if Bernie Sanders does well in nevada. Nevada is such a different race, right . Its a 24hour cycle. It is a long slog. Explaining how the caucus process works when youre going out and youre knocking doors and youre trying to convince people to stand in line for a long period of time, its hard. You know . Its a low turnout type situation. And that does tend to benefit someone like Hillary Clinton, so tonight might be close. Polls might show it being maybe a little closer than it might actually be given the turnout we expect. In the South Carolina race, we had trump butting heads with the pope. Do you think that will have an i dont think it will. With evangelicals in South Carolina i dont think it would have the impact than if he was moving through the northeast right now. I think it shows donald trump is going headtohead with anybody and he did start to soften his stance but i still think it was a major sort of moment in his campaign showing how willing he others. We have been watching this second place spot. They are going headtohead. Are you surprised we are this far along . It seems like its shifting from cruz and rubio. I think the narrow field, not even just cruz and rubio and kasich in New Hampshire i think this is a large field and why we are starting to see the volatility we are seeing but this is crucial for cruz or rubio and set up the race who is took taking on trump moving forward. What does South Carolina mean for jeb bush at this point . I think a make or break moment for him. He says he has put a lot of money in resources and spending a lot of money in advertising in South Carolina and this has to be the moment he shows he could break through. Lauren, thank you so much. I appreciate it. On face the nation tomorrow morning, john kasich and the latest on the reports in the gop primary in South Carolina and the democratic caucuses in nevada.
