plex on the race for the white house. liz? >> reporter: jeff, we're two hours out from polls closing in south carolina and it could be a long night for republicans. the first ace spot is pretty sure to go to donald trump but it's the second place spot that is the one to win in nevada. exceptionally high turnout will make for another nervous night for hillary clinton. >> was made for you and me >> it's a little early for a victory dance, but self-proclaimed socialt bernie sanders has good reason to do a happy dance in nevada. he's locked in a tight race with hillary clinton who was once expected to run away with caucus votes there. >> if there's a large turnout, i think we'll do just fine. the low turn out, that may be >> reporter: based on long lines in reno, they look like they're taking the exercise seriously. >> the clinton pulling out the comedic star power of this video of will ferrell reminding when to people come out and caucus. across the country this could be the last stand for jeb bush if votes don't come their way for south carolina. he posed for first lady mom and supporters. this is the big day for the cuban american senators. marco rubio and ted cruz are

on what happens tonight. live in the plex, liz nagy, 7 news. >> okay, liz, thank you. >> robbin: tonight it could be do or die for some of the republican candidates. >> jeff: so who has the most to lose? director fiu institute public policy joining us live in the plex right now and brian, have donald trump the front runner. cruz and rubio fighting for second. what could the results in south carolina do to the gop field in the end. >> thanks, jeff, i think first and foremost it's important to note we didn't expect trump to continue to slide through the prime easier the way that he is. sosogiven that that's a constant and next we want to look at who is going to foll into the second and third space. this is where the fiercecefight is going on between senator rubio and senator cruz and i % think that the push that the governor in south carolina has given rubio should help propel him possibly in this race and you might see rubio ending in secwnd place. now the real eye should be on jeb bush. again this could be his last stand going into and through south carolina. what we really want to see is whether or not the establishment is going to start to kind of pause and think about who they're truly going to endorse and much of the establishment failing to rally around a particular candidide. of been waiting and so a lot will be riding on this race in terms of where the establishment goes going forward. >> robbin: you spoke about defying expectations on the gop side. we talk about for the democrats. no one expected to see a senator bernie sanders being so close to where hillary clinton is. possibly the upset. what do you say about what we're seeing the democratic side? >> reporter: it's amazing what the outsider candidates are doing in this election. this is an liquids i've not seen in ite some time and actually i study latin american polilics and it's something you see quite often in candidates. those that support the fringe really rallying tremendous support within the electorate. bernie sanders s has been able to inspire a lot of young people so you have a lot of new voters making their way into the electorate and seem to be putting their backing behind bernie sanders. that said you still see a fairly confident secretary clinton. with respect to neva this evening, likely secretary clinton will hold on with respect to the elections, but don't forget, you also have the super delegates. they're likely going to fall in favor of secretary clinton and she'll walk out a clear winter. >> jeff: thank you, brian, and we'll check back in with you tater tonight as the results come in. >> thousands gathering to a say final farewell to supreme court justice antonin scalia. a mass led by his son, reverend paul scalia, shared personal memories of
