"there's the personality characteristic, is the candidate trustworthy... but there's also the issues -- where do people stand on the issues. are they closer to your positions? and then there's also the idea of credibility and will they actually be able to get things done. in the primary election you're making some calculus as to can this candidate actually win against their republican opponent in november." oldendick says what was a record turnout of voters for the republican primary here in south carolina will not be mirrored by the democrats this week. he does expect there to be a lot of voters, but nothing like what we saw back in 2008 with president obama's campaign. live in the newsroom, michal higdon, wis news 10. jackson is in south carolina encouraging people to vote. jackson says there are close to one point two million who are eligible to vote, but only about a million of them are he will be in winnsboro this morning, then at midlands tech at noon and allen university. over the weekend, jackson made stops at churches in columbia, chester and rock hill. fresh off his first place finish in south carolina, donald trump believes he will have enough delegates to clinch the gop nomination before the party's convention in july. trump's victories in south carolina and new hampshire and second place finish in iowa has given him a decisive lead in the delegate count. some have said that if the field does not narrow in the coming weeks, the chances of having a brokered convention would increase dramatically. trump dismissed that notion to cnn's jake tapper. "...so, i have a second and i have two firsts. and new hampshire was a blowout and this one was a blowout. and, you know, i don't think, i don't see where this a... convention. and i think most of the smart people are saying there's convention." trump also told tapper that he expects to win states that quote "republicans don't even think of." trump was in altanta on sunday and is now headed to nevada. after jeb bush dropped out of the race in columbia saturday night, the narrowing republican field now looks to gain supporters in nevada. trump, ted cruz, marco rubio, and ben carson all have scheduled campaign stops across nevada today. john kasich will be stumping in virginia today. meanwhile at a las vegas rally sunday- celebrity donnie wahlberg said he believes marco rubio has the right stuff. the blue bloods star and former "new kids on the block" member has officially endorsed rubio for president. wahlberg told the crowd that he's never voted for a republican before-- but rubio changed his mind. an endorsement from wahlberg-- who is a boston native-- may come in handy as part of rubio's efforts to hang tough on 'super tuesday.' massachusetts will cast its votes on that day. just coming into the wis alert center right now the commander of the u.s navy's 7th fleet says this morning - the situation in the south china sea is not a battle between the u.s and china. the rise after beijing deployed a surface-to-air missiles last week on an island in the disputed waters. china says patrols by u.s. navy vessels and military aircraft have raised concerns about stability and peace in the area. the u.s. says it is not using the patrols to single out china and wishes the situation wasn't portrayed as "u.s. versus china." a developing story this morning... richland county deputies say a weekend death at a columbia motel is suspicious. investigators were called to the motel 6 on nates road on saturday afternoon, where they found a man unresponsive. no other details have been given regarding the man's death. deputies are asking you to call crimestoppers at 1- 888-crime-sc if you have information that can help. columbia police continue their search for suspects tied to saturday night's shooting at columbiana centre mall. parts of the mall were put on lockdown until all areas could be evacuated. investigators concluded it was an isolated shooting that began as a fist fight fired shots into the air. daniel morales owns a cell phone repair kiosk inside the mall. he says he was near that fight when it broke out and saw one of the men pull out a gun. that's when he says people started running to get out of the way.

"there's the personality characteristic, is the candidate trustworthy... but there's also the issues -- where do people stand on the issues. are they closer to your positions? and then there's also the idea of credibility and will they actually be able to get things done. in the primary election you're making some calculus as to can this candidate actually win against their republican opponent in november." oldendick says what was a record turnout of voters for the republican primary here in south carolina will not be mirrored by the democrats this week. he does expect there to be a lot of voters, but nothing like what we saw back in 2008 with president obama's campaign. live in the newsroom, michal higdon, wis news civil rights activist jesse jackson is in south carolina encouraging people to vote. jackson says there are close to one point two million african-americans in the state who are eligible to vote, but only about a million of them are registered. he will be in winnsboro this morning, then at midlands tech at noon and allen university. over the weekend, jackson made stops at churches in columbia, chester and rock hill. fresh off his first place finish in south carolina, donald trump believes he will have enough delegates to clinch the gop nomination before the party's convention in july. trump's victories in south carolina and new hampshire and second place finish in iowa has given him a decisive lead in the delegate count. some have said that if the field does not narrow in the coming weeks, the chances of having a brokered convention would increase dramatically. trump dismissed that notion to cnn's jake tapper. "...so, i have a second and i have two firsts. and new hampshire was a blowout and this one was a blowout. and, you know, i don't think, i don't see where this a... convention. and i think most of the smart people are saying there's convention." trump also told tapper that he expects to win states that quote "republicans don't even think of." trump was in atlanta on sunday and is now headed to nevada. after jeb bush dropped out of the race in columbia saturday night, the narrowing republican field now looks to gain supporters in nevada. trump, ted cruz, marco rubio, and ben carson all have scheduled campaign stops across nevada today. john kasich will be stumping in virginia today. just coming into the wis alert center... russia is expected to request permission to fly over the united states using surveillance planes. the request by russia comes under the open skies treaty at one of the most tension-filled periods since the cold war. the treaty allows unarmed observation flights over all 34 member nations. defense officials warn it will help moscow collect intelligence on the united states. russia will make its formal request today in vienna. tied to saturday night's shooting at columbiana centre mall. parts of the mall were put on lockdown until all areas could be evacuated. investigators concluded it was an isolated shooting that began as a fist fight between two men who fired shots into the air. daniel morales owns a cell phone repair kiosk inside the mall. he says he was near that fight when it broke out and saw one of the men pull out a gun. that's when he says people started running to get out of the way.
