Cruz and rubio have paths to the doubt about it. But donald trump has the easiest path to the nomination now. The question is, does threeway race, narrowed down to two . The only question that republicans had about trump now is whether he can win in a one on one. Get there in time to test that premise or will he have already racked up enough delegates and enough wins by, and i think thats what is going to be the next ten days, this sort of fight between cruz and rubio to become the trump s it sort itself out in time to actually create a stop Trump Movement that can we have b some of the exit polling this morning and there was one particular nugget that really caught our attention, want to put it on our screen for our viewers at home. Ed of South Carolina gop voters, do you support banningtering the United States. 74 of folks yesterday said they supported that. What does that tell you, chuck . Look, i think Donald Trumps more in electorate than anybody else. Not marco rubio, not jeb bush, why hes out of this race, not and i think that that that has been what is probably the probably the best explanation for why otherans have failed where donald trump has succeeded. The most declarative, toughest talk, whether it is on immigration, whether it is on dealing with isis or and that talk has what has animated the republican base. So, again, i think it shows you Donald Trumps more in tune with where the Republican Party everybody else running. To be clear, thats banning muslims who are not u. S. Citizens from entering the country by the way. Dont go away. We want to come back to you in all right. We turn to the democrats where Hillary Clinton came out on top in the caucuses in nevada on saturday. It is giving her a boost headingna, but Bernie Sanders says hes only begun to fight. Nbcs Kristen Welker is in las vegas. Good morning. Reporter sheinelle, goodyou. The Clinton Campaign is celebrating this morning and also breathing a big sigh of relief. The polls were deadlockedhe caucuses here, but in the end, clinton pulled off a decisive victory, restoring the momentum she lising defeat in New Hampshire. Hello, houston taking her campaign to the state saturday night. We just won nevada reporter a texassized celebration, coming on the heels of a pivotal win for linched the nevada caucuses earlier in the day. This ones for you. I want to congratulate senator on a hard fought race here. Reporter senator sanders conceding before a crowd of dedicated hey ran very aggressive, Effective Campaign and i applaud them for their efforts. Reporter the loss raisesut sanders strength and more diverse states. Africanamericans chose clinton still, sanders urged his supporters not to give up. I believe that when democratsiladelphia, in july, at that convention, we are going to see the results of one of the great political upsets in the united reporter and there are some encouraging signs. Sanders won more latino votes here and trounced clintonung caucusgoers, netting 72 . Clinton ramping up her outreach. It is not enough just toore affordable. You need help right now with the debt you already have. Reporter the win gives clinton a bump, as sheth carolina, super tuesday, and southern states, where africanamericans make up a large part of the electorate. Actor Morgan Freeman another ad for clinton suggesting hillary has always stood with us. And makes their mothers fight for justice her own. Reporter but for her nevada, it is all about savoring this moment. Hillary hillary thank you. Thank youorter secretary clinton will spend the next two days fundraising in california trying to match the millions that senator sanders raised online. He outpaced her in january, but she has nearly twice the amount of cash on hand. Thank you. Lets bring again. You can see it on Hillary Clintons face. She looked relieved last night with really a solid win. How critical was this win for her campaign and for bernie how damaging was it for him . Especially in terms of his momentum . Look, a loss here for hillaryave meant the first three contests she would have lost two out of three, and barely the one that she won was won by an eyelash inot the case this morning. Now, shes got two wins under her belt. And now the question is Bernie Sanders, where can he win wse electorate. This was his best shot to puncture that myth ology he cant win when the electorate is more is every operationally nevada was perfect for him. You could bring in new voters, same day voter registry, all those things, caucus process, benefits enthusiasm more than clinton. Everything was in place for him, he outspent her, had more resources than she did and yet she won. Where does he win . The next 12y to see how clinton rolls eight of the 12 if not more. Can he beat her in texas or tennessee or georgia or those are the four biggest states that are voting on super tuesday. If he cant win any of those four, then i think wees going to be the presumptive nominee on march 2nd and while sanders will get a lot of delegates and will make sure she has to go all the way, she will have a durable delegate lead that cant be surpassed by sanders and thats what made nevada so significant yesterday. Lets take a closer lf the numbers you mentioned, 76 hillary won of the black voters in nevada. Once again, Bernie Sanders, heng for him, he took the Younger Voters, 72 of the voters under the age of 45. Does clinton then still have tohose millennials . What does she do to target the Younger Voters . Clintons challenge now is longterm here. Shes going to be in thispot where shes not theyre going to act as if they have control of this has to start figuring out how shes going to appeal to younger vo cant alienate these bernie supporters. I think thats going to be a challenge for her. Shes not going to win them over, but how does she start their second choice. How does she start becoming somebody that they cannot just live with, but get potentially rally around and ia challenge for her because so far she has yet to appeal to any younger demographic. Chuck, thank you. Next time if we have more time, youll have to tell us how you sleep because i was watching you last night when i went to bed. Well, thats all right, sleep, ill sleep in 2017. Who needs it, well look for more on meet the press where your guests are donald trump and senators marco rubio, ted cruz and Bernie Sanders. N the stump today, this morning jeb bush is home in florida. Hours after he suspended his the end of the bush dynasty . Nbcs Andrea Mitchell is here with us this morning. Good to see you. U. Good morning, craig, sheinelle. Well, jeb bush began this campaign as the frontrunner. He had the name, the legacy, the perhaps that was the problem. The people of iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina have spoken. And raley respectcision. Tonight, im suspending my campaign. Reporter the end of the road for jeb bush came night. Noticeably emotional moment for bush after his fourth place finish in South Carolina. Earlier this week, governor nikki haleys endorsement of marco rubio signaled how the states primary would play out. Im disappointed she didnt reporter you could say the campaign was in trouble before it even started. His mother famously telling matt lauer in 2013 are other people out there that are very qualified and we had enough bushes. Im a candidate for president of the United States of america eporter until he was upstaged the very next day when donald trump announced his candidacy. Which bush didnt consider a t was too late. One at a time. Reporter there were also awkward moments on the trail. To get back of creating a more peaceful world. Please clap. ] reporter at first the bush name didnt even appear on his posters, only at the end did he bring in his famous presidency is a serious job that requires sound judgment. Im thrilled to be the mother of one of the greatest men i reporter still, despite a 100 million super pac, money couldnt buy him votes. We dont have to go vote, i it is all finished. Reporter in the end, the son long thought to be the best qualified of his generation to run for president couldnt thank you for the opportunity to run for the greatest office on the face of the earth. I love you all. So in the year of the outsider, jeb bush, son and brother of president s, just out of tune with the mood of the now with the family legacy going to continue, it is going to have to be up to the next generation. Perhaps jebs son george p. Bush, who holds elected office in texas andrea, the support that jeb bush did have, those mainstream moderate voters, where do they go now . And the money, the big as of last week, he was pleading with donors to come up with a Million Dollars to help him get to nevada and they said no. Im his endorsement, i think the family endorsement has to go to marco rubio. I talked to some people, even though he feels marco rubio fromis protege, was, you know, jumped his place and shouldnt have been running and and one of the top bush family members said to me, rubio is going to have to get a lot around him because he has to prove hes up to the task.
