And the race for the democrats is still too close to call, if you can believe it. Were waiting for results from a few outstanding precincts. The votes are being counted or searched for, frankly. As you can see, from the tally right there, its the tiniest, teeny, tiny razorthin lead, a virtual tie between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. And the gop, a blockbuster night, for turnout. You saw the lines going into the caucusesing. Look what happened. You saw ted cruz, beating donald chump. And marco rubio. Perhaps the Biggest Surprise of the night, though, is just how much we saw the rubio surge play out. Hes headed to New Hampshire. All eyes turn to New Hampshire. A lot to get through. We want to bring in chris moody. Hes in des moines. Lets start with this bizarreo world we are in, at 2 00 a. M. On the east coast, the democratic race, is it over . Explain whats happening right now. You wouldnt have asked for a more exciting night in iowa, on the democratic side and the republican sid
Heres what president obama said minutes ago. I i this its an indication that mr. Putin recognizes there is not going to be a military resolution to the situation in syria. The russians now have been there for several weeks. Over a month. And i think fairminded reporters who have looked at the situation would say that the situation hasnt changed significantly. In the interim, russias lost a commercial passenger jet. Youve seen another jet shot down. There have been losses in terms of russian personnel. I think mr. Putin understands that with afghanistan fresh in the memory for him to simply get bogged down in an inconclusive and paralyzing civil conflict, is not the outcome that hes looking for. Now, where we continue to have an ongoing difference is not on the need for a political settlement. Its the issue of whether mr. Assad can continue to serve this president while still bringing the civil war to an end. Its been my estimation for five years now that thats not possible. Regardless
Midst of a peace rally. The turkish Prime Minister says two suicide bombers are believed to be responsible for the attack. Our own arwa damon is in ankara with the latest. Ankara. We dont have arwa, lets go to bob former cia operative and cnn intelligence and security analyst. Bob, to you. As we wait to get arwa up for us. Look, theyre not theres no group claiming responsibility at this point in time, but youve also got very interesting timing with turkey ratcheting up its attacks, pursuit of isis. Well, poppy, i think we talked about this a year ago, maybe more about how the chaos continued in syria, it would move into turkey one day and the rest of the region. And, indeed, it has. Yeah. We dont know if the bombing was done by the islamic state. It certainly has the hallmarks of possibly a suicide bombing, mass casualties, and the target turkish kurds is an obvious one. Were going to have to wait and see who did this. The kurds, i can tell you right now are going to blame the turkish
Nasty word to describe her 208 campaign loss. But new poll shows half of the u. S. Voters would be embarrassed to donald trump as president. No charges, a grand jury decides not to indict anyone in the jail cell death of sandra bland. One president ial candidate says she would be alive today if she were a white woman. Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. This is cnn breaking news. Breaking news, u. S. Boots are on the ground right now in syria. A small group of u. S. Special Operations Forces now back in Northern Syria to advise local fighters battling isis. Officials call it the next step in the fight against the terror group over in syria all this comes as iraqi forces to retake a city captured by isis. Backed by shiite fighters and u. S. Air strikes iraqi troops pushing for the center of ramadi. The battle is brutal. The terror group is using civilians as human shields. Donald trump is on the offensive with more vulgar insults on the campaign trail, mocks Hillary Clinton fo
Up before anyone in the audience had time to sit down. Refusing to rule out a third party candidacy. Listen to this exchange with fox news moderator brett baier. You are standing on the stage, the place where the Republican National convention will give the nominee the nod. I fully understand. And experts say an independent run would hand the race over to democrats and likely another clinton. You cant say tonight that you can make that pledge. I cannot say. I have to respect the person if it is not me, the person that wins, if i do win and im leading by quite a bit, thats what i want to do. I can make that pledge. If im the nominee, i will not run as an independent. I am discussing with it everybody. Im talking about a lot of leverage. We want to win. We will win. I want to win as the republican. I want to run as the republican nominee. Trump didnt stop there. He targeted the media for treating him unfairly and being stupid on immigration and iran. He took time out to call out rosie od
