Right back. As they left the polls. Here now with what we found out. Good evening. The Unemployment Rate may be down to 4. 9 . The economy was most important issue for both parties today. Lets look at republicans first. A third of republicans told us the economy was their top issue. Government spending came in second at 28 . Among those who made the economy their top issue, look at huh they broke. Donald trump got most of these voters. 36 . Marco rubio, 25 . The economy playing for donald trump. The economy the top issue among democratic voters. There you see, 38 saying the most important. Followed by income inequality at 27 . Now, of those democratic voters who said that the economy and jobs are most important. 62 of those voters went to Hillary Clinton. 36 went to Bernie Sanders. Particularly interesting because of course senator sanders made income inequality and economy signature issues. As donald trump pointed out, has declined since the last president ial election. Elaine, anthony, thank you very much. We will go to Bob Schieffer who is with our two cbs news political contributors, peggy noonan, and jamaal buoy. If i was writing a press release for the mainstream traditional republicans, the washington republican establishment, i would start it out like snoopy would i would night. This is the night they never thought would happen. Peggy, they never took donald trump seriously. Theyre past the denial now. Theyre coming to grips with the fact that donald trump is on his way to getting the republican nomination. And the alternative that may be emerging is some one that washington republicans, especially in the senate like, dislike even more than donald what, what are they going to do . It is an amazing moment. They, of course, they being the washington establishment, republican establishment, they do not want trump for all the reasons you know. And everybody knows. They also do not want the man who i think emerged as his challenger, tonight, ted cruz. I think a lot of people had been thinking it would be marco rubio who would be coming up. He would be the antitrump. I think it has not worked well for him tonight. He still hasnt won something. And if you are going to be a winner it is important to win something. I think virginia was probably a i thought rubios comments in his interview with charlie rose in which he said, threw down the gauntlet. He said a trump nomination will destroy the Republican Party. It will split the Republican Party. He will fight to the end. This is epic. Real open question, if trump comes and march 15, takes primaries, and he is the nominee, presumptive one. Republicans like marco rubio they said these things they have to make a choice are they going to fall behind him or reject him. If they reject him, then they have to say to themselves, theyre forfeiting the white house now. The more important thing here is to prevent a trump takeover of the Republican Party and prevent a destruction of conservative movement, conservatism. You know, i heard today from Republican Leaders, senior people in washington, who say theyre now hoping for an open convention. How long has it been since you have heard leaders of either party say, what we really want is an open convention. They want to sew it before they get to it. Yes, Party Leaders exist so that they can continue themselves and have a certain amount of predictability, they dentont want an open convention. They all call it a brokered convention. Thats because they still have the illusion that they will be the brokers. Im not sure thats so. This thing i think, if it goes to the convention, if it goes to the floor, wow. That would be a donnybrook. Lets talk a little bit about the democrats. What about Hillary Clinton . Is she well on her way now to getting the nomination . 100 . This was a great night for her. Expected to continue doing as well. The upcoming primaries all have similar combination. Virginia, georgia, large africanamerican population, substantial latino populations and enough white voters to bring her the the extra mile. This is sort of just a steady march to the nomination for clinton. With that said, that does not mean Bernie Sanders needs to give up or leave. From the beginning its clear that Bernie Sanders is much more concerned about his message. He said actually and said again tonight i will see you in philadelphia at the convention. Be right back.

Senate republicans want to leave the nomination to the next president , well today the current president tried to change their minds. Here is chief legal reporter the meeting with Republican Senate leadership was little more than a go towop. Thank you, guys. Come on. Thank you. Minority leader harry reid. We can at least meet with the president s nominee which should be coming quickly. They were adamant. They said no. We are not going to do this at all. Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell said reid would do the same thing. If the shoe were on the other foot do any of you think the democrat majority in the senate would be confirming a republican president s nomination in the last year of his term . Of course not. Reporter the president now is narrowing his list of nominees. And in search of a solid liberal with a sterling resume who brings diversity such as federal judge ketai brown jackson. And, federal Appeals Court, paul clerk and corporate lawyer. And patricia millett, lawyer in thebaush bush administrations. The election, all things being equal some democrats think the president will tap a nominee that can help rally the base since turnout in november could well be the key to the white house.

And watching his brothers campaign from a distance, larry has been surprised by a couple of things. Starting with the name. People say, well, bernie. Bernie, to larry it has never been bernie, its been. Bernard. Bernard, really. Reporter larry lived in england since 1969.

Reporter dorothy and Elias Sanders didnt raise cool children, they raised political ones. Larry too has run for office. He lost badly. Still, a brother watching from afar can be a useful sounding board for a president ial candidate. He calls you, says how am i doing . No. He doesnt say how am i doing . He says, he says things like, its a hard job. Its going pretty well. I dont know what is going to happen next. Reporter neither does larry. Have you bought your suit for the inauguration.

It is the biggest night yet of campaign 2016 as america chooses a new president. Nearly half the delegates needed to capture the republican nomination were up for grabs tonight along nomination. Lets have a look at the republicans. Trump won georgia, alabama, virginia, tennessee, arkansas, massachusetts, and vermont. But ted cruz won his home state of texas, the biggest delegate prize of the night. And neighboring oklahoma. So he srvives to fight another day. Marco rubio gets his first win in minnesota. On the democratic side, Hillary Clinton has won massachusetts, georgia, virginia, alabama, tennessee, arkansas, and texas. And Bernie Sanders won his home state of vermont as well as oklahoma, minnesota, and colorado. So, john dickerson, what have we learned tonight . Well, we learned it is a good night for the frontrunners. What about the challengers . In the democratic race . Bernie sanders got some wins. He got wins in states with the liberal electorate and not an, pretty white electorate. That to fix his problem in the Democratic Party where africanamericans are playing a central role he has been able to make inroads. Into that constituency. On the republican side. Best of all outcomes for donald trump. He won big in a bunch of states. Yet his competition has enough hope that allows them to survive. Which means his competition continues to be split. There is not a single ternative to donald trump. John dickerson. Thank you very much. Major garrett is in palm beach, florida, where donald trump held a News Conference tonight. Florida is the next big contest. Winner take all. Coming up in two weeks. Major . Reporter scott, on the biggest night of his political career, donald trump did not rent a hall and pack it full of cheering supporters. Instead, he decked the stage of his, the opulent stage of his ballroom here at the miralago giving it all we assume by design the look and feel, just a little bit of an east room president ial News Conference. We asked trump to respond to criticism today from Republican Leaders in congress including House Speaker paul ryan. That trump had not done enough to disavow ku klux klan and other hate groups like that. Trump said he did in fact disavow them. David duke and others like them and said he would work with leaders in congress including paul ryan. Then he added, ryan better play ball or else. Im going to get along great with congress. Paul ryan. I dont know him well. Sure i am going to get along great with him. If i dont, he will have to pay a big price, okay. We have done something that almost nobody thought could be done. And im very proud of it. I just want to leave you with this, i am a unifier. I would love to see the Republican Party and everybody get together and unify. And when we unify, there is nobody, nobody that is going to beat us. Thank you very much. Thank you. Trump did not declare himself Presumptive Republican nominee but did say he is expanding and remaking the gop. And he made it clear that trump sees a multicandidate field ahead as something that works to his advantage. It will divide the antitrump vote. This race turns into a completely different stage on march 15th when big states like ohio and florida have primaries and award their delegates to the winner, winner take all. Charlie. Joining us now, winner of the republican primary in home state of texas, senator ted cruz. Senator, thank you for joining us. I should also say you won oklahoma as well.
