As we said, trump picking up a decisive win in South Carolina. Marco rubio edged out ted cruz for second place. Clinton bouncing back from her defeat in New Hampshire to senator Bernie Sanders in nevada. The democratic primary in South Carolina is on saturday.

Beginning with nbcs Hallie Jackson in las vegas. Good morning. Good morning. This morning, the center of attention in this race has shifted here to nevada, where donald trump will hold a couple of rallyies today. History on his side right now. No republican has won New Hampshire and South Carolina and lost the nomination. Trump has the momentum. His closest competitors and the establishment try to slow him down. Reporter on his victory lap oh, thats so much better. Reporter donald trump didnt mind the dark. Get the lights off. Turn off the lights turn off the lights reporter demanding the lights stay off after the protester pulled the plug. Trump fresh off his lightsout win in South Carolina. Such a beautiful victory. Such a conclusive victory. Reporter trump looking ahead to another first place finish tomorrow in nevada, perhaps unstoppable now. Though his rivals are trying to. If you believe we need a strong contrast with the democrats, then we welcome you aboard our team. Reporter but cruzs disappointing third place finish in South Carolina may mean more pressure to perform in the super tuesday primary. Cruz hoping for a twoman race but marco rubio makes three. Rubio reporter pulling in his biggest crowd yet in tennessee, from trump, who is refusing to rule out questions about rubios eligibility for the white house.

Reporter the end of the road for jeb bush. The end of the line for now for his familys president ial political dynasty. Tonight, i am suspending my campaign. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. Reporter after that emotional speech, the scramble for his supporters and his donors. And new this morning, the rnc launching a fresh attack ad aimed at Hillary Clinton for her performance in South Carolina in 2008. The clintons and the country might be irreparable. The rnc looking at the general election as the head of the party reiterates the promise to back whoever the nominee is. Cruz and rubio fighting it out, trying to prove it wont be trump. Expect to see over the next few days more endorsements come out, with rubio knocking down reports that mitt romney will back him soon. Guys . Hallie jackson, thank you. As we mentioned, South Carolina is the next battleground on the democratic side, where Hillary Clinton hopes to build on her big win over sanders in nevada. Kristen welker is following those campaigns. Good morning. Hillary clinton is focused on fund raising in the los angeles area. Hoping her donors and supporters are reenergized after heroin win in nevada. Reporter clinton had a big some may have doubted us but we never doubted each other. Reporter carried to victory by Union Workers and africanamericans bho ss who turned out in force. 76 of blacks in nevada choosing her. This one is for you. Reporter clinton posting this photo to instagram, savoring the victory with her husband. Trying to gain ground with minorities, sanders courted africanamericans at a Baptist Church in South Carolina sunday. Later, urged his supporters to fight on. South carolina has the opportunity to make american history, and i hope you will. Reporter while sanders won 72 of young voters in nevada and had a strong showing among latinos, the loss raises questions about his ability to win more diverse areas, like many of the super tuesday states. Sanders stressing, its all about turnout. The voter turnout is not as high as i wanted. I said over and over again, working class people come out. Reporter both candidates looking forward. Clinton commanding a double digit lead in South Carolina, where her ground game is in full swing. I want to ask if you plan on voting for Hillary Clinton. Reporter aides close to sanders acknowledged the slim chances in South Carolina. Sanders is sharpening his focus in places he feels confident, like colorado, massachusetts and michigan. Sunday night, both campaigns took aim at the republican front runner. We dont need to make America Great again. It never stopped being great. But we do need to make america whole again. You want a candidate who is going to defeat donald trump. Youre looking at that candidate. This morning, the Clinton Campaign is disputeing that sanders won the latino vote, as polls suggest. Arguing that clinton trounced sanders in areas that are latino. The Sanders Campaign is calling it spin. Of the latino vote, as super tuesday approaches and as this race heats up. Willie and savannah . Kristen welker looking at the democratic side. Thanks. Lets get analysis. Nicolle wallace served as an adviser to the mccainpalin campaign, and mark is the managing editor of bloomberg politics. Good morning to you. Good morning. Nicolle, the question, is donald trump unstoppable . He seems to have the momentum and has two big wins under his belt. Flip it the other way around. Can ted cruz or marco rubio win . I think its a harder question to answer. It would be defying decades of political history to seize the nomination in marco rubios case, after coming in third, fifth and second, and ted cruzs case, he hasnt won since iowa. It is possible. In my view, it is increasingly unlikely. Mark, the argument from a lot of republicans is, if you get fight, its the way to beat him. I guess the question for me is, which of the candidates, whether marco rubio, ted cruz or john kasich, gives up the fight at this point, given how well theyve been doing in the second place slot . None of them give it up. All of them think that somehow, trump can be eventually stopped when its one on one. Youve got the contest here tomorrow, and then super tuesday a week from tomorrow. I think its increasingly as nicolle said increasingly hard to come up with a scenario where any of the three can stop him, unless they get one on one. Republicans are talking about unorthodox supporters. Maybe try to simply stop trump from getting a majority of the delegates. All three scenarios are, at this point, not just unlikely, but may be improbable, unless something changes. We need to kav yachtcaveat it. Maybe trump are will falter or something strange will happen. If you look at political history, trump is in a mark, does the calendar favor him, the states coming up next and the fact they turn to winner takes ss all in a little while . Winner take off is a way that could hurt trump. Say in ohio or florida, home state politician could win a winner take off state and get momentum. Trump, both demographically and geographically, doesnt have weaknesses. A guy that can win New Hampshire decisively and South Carolina decisively tells you a lot of what you need to know. Hell probably win here tomorrow. A northeastern, southern and western powerhouse. Its up to the others candidates to decide, do they all stay in, and how do they explain how they eventually stop him . The voters need to decide this. Right now, again, on the current trajectory, trump is strong. Lets hop over to the democratic side. The Clinton Campaign said they were relieved they won nevada. A lot of people were looking at how it was going to spin and the story changed because of the result. Africanamerican voters. Thatll be important in South Carolina this saturday. Whats the path forward for sanders . I think she made it difficult to imagine a scenario where Bernie Sanders overtakes her. Shes become almost trumplike on the democratic side. The democratic process makes it harder for an upset candidate like Bernie Sanders. This was a decisive victory for her. She goes to represent much more favorable terrain for her and her message. Saturday ends up being quite important in this race. Good to have you both. Thank you so much. Thanks, guys. Also this morning, disturbing new information emerging about the uber driver suspected of killing six people during a weekend shooting ram pain in kalamazoo, michigan. Blake mccoy has more on the investigation. Good morning. Good morning from kalamazoo. This is where that driver is expected to be charged later today in the deaths of two people and the injury of two others in the shooting spree. Investigators say they have a gun. They have surveillance video. They still dont know why. Reporter this is the man police say went on a rampage in kalamazoo. 45yearold jason dalton. A husband and father of two, allegedly shooting his victims at random. They werent targeted for any reason other than they were there to be a target. Reporter dalton is an uber driver, and police are looking into reports he picked up and dropped off fares in the six hours between the first shooting and when he was caught. One of the passengers spoke with nbc news by telephone. I kind of jokingly said to the driver, youre not the shooter, are you . He shook his head or said no. Got up into the room and they say the news. I said, thats the car that we were in. Reporter sububer says theyre horrified and heartbroken. They did a background check and dalton did not have a political record. The locations, apartment complex, a car dealership and the parking lot of a crackerbarrel restaurant. Among the dead, four women returning from a play. They had car pooled to save money and were swapping cars when the shots ss rang out. Also dead, a father and teenage son who were shopping for a new car. You see the stuff on the news all the time. You dont think about it because it doesnt affect you. Then this hits not just your community but your friends. Reporter loved ones fighting back tears during a sunday night vigil and struggling to make sense of such random violence. Two survivors are in the hospital. A mother of three shot multiple times is in serious condition. And a 14yearold girl who was pronounced for more than an hour yesterday, doctors were ss ss were preparing her body for Organ Donation when she was able to squeeze her mothers hand. Doctors realized she was still just awful, awful story. You never wrap your head around why that could happen. Blake, thank you. For the first time, the director of the fbi is personally weighing in on his agencys fight with apple over unlocking a phone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters. Pete williams has more on this. Good morning. Good morning, savannah. The fbi director james comey says the investigation of what happened in San Bernardino cannot be complete or thorough without gettinina look at the phone. In the post overnight on a National Security blog, he says, we cant look the survivors in the eye or ourselves in the mirror if we dont follow this lead. The lead is a phone that was owned by syed farooks employer, and that he used, which the fbi found in his mothers caca agents need apples help to unlock it. Apple is resisting, saying the company, if it does what the fbi wants, it would have to create software. If that software gets in the wrong hands, it could jeopardize comey writes on his blog, we dont want to break anyones encryption or set a master key loose on the land. The fbi says there may not be anything of value on that phone, since farook deployed other phones but not that one, and it was owned by the county. Tim cook, apple ceo, said this case is about much more than a single phone or a single investigation. He says whats at stake is the Data Security of hundreds of thousands of lawabiding people, and sets a precedent that threatens everyones civil liberties. Stakes high on all sides. Pete pete, thank you. A powerful cyclone tore through fiji.
