Yes, that is former president , clinton, bouncing for joy with Campaign Staffers in nevada. After his wife stormed the vegas strip for two days. And then won the states most populous county by ten points. Do you think secretary clinton the end . No, i dont. Matter of fact. We had three rallies the night before. No, i am proud of what we did. Still the loss is a blow for sanders who is tied with clinton in the delegate count until you factor in superdelegates. Top Party Officials who are fre to back either candidate. That gap will grow. If clinton prevails as expected in South Carolina. In texas this weekend. She accused sanders of misleading vote ears but his plans. I dont think it right to look a person in the eye who is hurting and need help and tell them that if they vote for you you will get 5,000 in health care but only have to pay 500 for it.

Can any one catch trump . Marco rubios strategy is that he is trying to claim he is the one mainstream alternative to donald trump. But he still hasnt won a contest. His best shot for a decisive win when the more moderate electorates in ohio and florida vote. Before that rubio has to beat back a challenge, john kasich, from the mainstream title and do well enough to survive on super tuesday, march 1, when 11 states vote. Many which have electorates that favor donald trump and cruz. Trump may have momentum off march 1 then. Thats right. Ted cruz though hopes all of his chips are kind of riding on march 1 as well. Super tuesday. Thats when his home state of texas votes. Other states. Alabama, arkansas, oklahoma, tennessee. Which have a large share of strong conservatives and evangelical voters groups heap does well with. That strategy took a blow saturday in South Carolina because it has an electorate with the same makeup and where cruz went headtohead with donald trump and still lost by 11 points. John dickerson. Anchor of face the nation. Thank you for the insight. Agreed to a partial ceasefire in syria to start saturday. But it wont stop the fighting. Two important forces, isis and the al qaeda affiliate called al nusra were not included in the agreement because theyre terrorist groups. And about a third of syria is held by isis.

And merchants ran the shop from the ground floor theyre all dead. This video shows the the frantic moments right after one of the explosions. Survivors rushing to help the wounded. You might think people who witnessed carnage and today burying more than 100 family members and friend would welcome a pause in the violence. Not so. Are you optimistic there will be no way, abu mahran tells me. Everybody in the crowd agrees. We dont want a ceasefire until all the terrorists are out of our country. It is not a good sign for this proposed truce when even the citizens arent on side. And the people we spoke to today, scott, are very skeptical about this pro posed ceasefire. They say, in a war this complex and savage. There is just no way to coordinate all of the factions laying done their arms. Liz palmer with a rare report from inside syria. Liz, thank you.

The president is reviewing files of possible nominees, while Republican Leaders are vowing to block any one the president sends up. Democrats accused republicans of being obstructionist. But when democrats control the senate, and republican george w. H. Bush was in the white house, then the Judiciary Committee chairman, joe biden proposed the same thing republicans are doing now. Once the political season is under way. And it is. Action on a Supreme Court nomination must be put off until after the Election Campaign is over. Current committee chairman, chuck grassley, a republican, agreed. In his heart of hearts, he understands why this senate must do what he said it must do in 1992. Now in the past it has taken scott, the president is likely to move more quickly than that. Jan crawford at the court for us tonight. Jan, thank you.
