it is thursday, february 11, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead including the women who are voting for bernie sanders. we'll ask the editor of cosmopolitan if hillary clinton can win them back. first here is today's "eye opener at 8." >> campaigns are ramming up quickly. despite a smaller field, the republican race is no less uncertain. >> she stayed largely out of sight prepping for the debate while bernie sanders did something of a victory lap. >> bernie sanders has to build on the momentum from new hampshire. >> passengers streamed off, some cheering, some kissing the ground. who can blame them. >> awful experience! >> one of the deputies was responding to a call. that's when they say the suspect

>> you won't tell me anything? >> get lost, brother. >> i'm so struck by hearing a priest say so and so is full of poop. that's unusual. >> you should have been there. i was a little surprised, too. >> this grows out of a top-to-bottom review done by the agency that found gaps in training and proficiency on equipment like this. >> according to google, ben carson was the least searched for republican candidate during next year's new hampshire primary, mostly because he's standing right where we left him. he's still there. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. the republican presidential candidates are focused this morning on south carolina, that state's gop primary just nine days away. chris christie and carly fiorina will not be there. they dropped out wednesday reducing the gop field to seven.

targeting new hampshire winner donald trump. >> donald had a good night last night. new hampshire is a good state for a liberal republican. >> if he doesn't have any policy positions, either he tells you what he's going to two but won't tell you how he's going to do it. >> he hasn't been tested. he's a talented guy. he's entertaining unless you're a woman, a hispanic, a p.o.w., unless you're a disabled person, it's really entertaining. if you're not, it's downright divisive, ugly and mean spirited. >> donald trump hit back at a rally in south carolina and also took shots at bernie sanders and hillary clinton. >> honestly women don't like her, men don't like her. take a look at what's happening to her. a guy that nobody ever heard of literally is beating her so badly. i don't know. i talk about hillary, i honestly don't know if hillary is going to be running. i was there last night where

raving like a lunatic that he won. i was there. i saw it. i'm shocked because he's so non-traditional, and i don't see socialist as the head of this country. where are we going to? >> bernie sanders visited his native brooklyn with scott pelle and he asked if sanders could win in states less liberal than new hampshire. >> if you and i were having this conversation nine months ago, what would you have said to me? you would have said bernie, nobody knows who you are, you're a fringe candidate, no money, no political organization. last poll we saw, 4%. how are you possibly going to do well in iowa or new hampshire. a lot has happened in nine months. >> sanders almost beat clinton in iowa before trouncing her in new hampshire. he had overwhelming support from young voters.

all female voters. joanna coles is editor and chief of "cosmopolitan" magazine here to talk about why clinton is struggling: good morning. >> good morning. >> there's no doubt she got trounced. what happened? >> i think one of the things we have to remember in this cycle at this point in this election is that voters are looking for something new. what we hear from millennial voters in particular is there's a huge mistrust of american institutions. so they feel the political system has failed them. if they want to start a them. they would rather raise money on kick starter because the banks brought about the financial crash. this is a generation being told to go to college, get a degree. in fact, they go to college, get a degree. they graduate with huge amounts of debt and they can't find a job. of course, hillary clinton is seen as part of that establishment. bernie feels like this exciting

promising free education -- very appealing if you're a young millennial. i think hillary is running a general campaign. she's actually running from a much more moderate place, promising more of the same, and bernie is promising something new and is right out on the fringe running a very aggressive primary campaign. >> what norah is asking, is hillary doing worse outside of new hampshire? is there in the nation a sense that women are perfectly happy with her other than those who separate themself out because they're millennials? >> first, i love your questioning, it's deeply sexist. the idea that women only vote with their vagina is as saying men only vote wither that penises. they vote with what their care about. this is a generation deeply in debt. they talk about wanting experiences rather than things because they can't afford things. they don't think they're going to be able to buy a house. they can't pay off their student

they're worried about health care. bernie appears to be this very exciting radical candidate as does donald trump. >> we know that. all the polls show us that. >> why are you asking why women across america support hillary? >> i've been told that you have been at the white house and you have been asking about women specifically and who they favored. all i asked -- >> all our readers are very young women and we're interested in what they're engaged in. >> that's the reason i ask the question. readers are young women. we're asking what are young women thinking? >> i'm trying to tell you that they don't trust american institutions, and because hillary has been their secretary of state, they feel she's very much at the heart of that government which they think has let them down. and we're in a primary part of the campaign when things shift to the general part of the campaign and we have the nominees i think the discussion will be very different. i don't think women look at hillary and think she is their feminist icon.

beyonce horry anna as their feminist icon. yesterday there was a fascinating tweet which i had seen which said madeline albright and gloria steinem, not my kind of fen anymore. what is your kind of feminism if the mother -- >> a little kerfuffle, the two speaking in saying they're going to bernie sanders because they're looking for young men. she has since walked that back. that rubbed many young women the wrong way. >> you can never come out and tell a young generation what they should think, what they must think or how lucky they are to be in the position. that was very unfortunate. we saw it rebounded on them. this is a generation that look at beyonce and say, i want to be like her. nobody can remember if it's the broncos or the panthers -- >> it was the broncos. >> do you think there's anything

i've seen articles about that. you alluded to that earlier? >> this is a consumer culture. we're taught to want new things. hillary clinton, as she herself said at her democratic town hall on cnn she's been around in the public eye for 25 years. people want change. that doesn't mean they won't support her in the actual general election when she's up against some of the republican candidates who want to say women have no right to choose and have no access to abortion which i do think is an important issue for young women. >> the race is still early. >> very early, very early. we can't assume new hampshire will dictate the rest of the election. >> you and your husband are good friends with mayor bloomberg. do you have any sense of where he's leaning? >> i have no sense of where he's leaning. it must be very galling for him looking at how well donald trump appears to be doing and thinking i ran the city of new york extremely efficiently. i gave people a longer life span, and i also am a billionaire, but i made it

i didn't inherit it. and why is donald trump doing so well in the polls? >> thank you. >> thank you for coming. >> good to see you. michelle miller gets an answer from lionel richie on a question many have been asking. >> talk about "hello." who owns it, you or adele? >> well, i was here first. hello. is it me you're looking for >> certainly room for both of them. does lionel richie mind sharing wind chills have started the day below zero, and with highs reaching into the 20s today, we're looking at another cold one! light snow moves in by mid afternoon and lasting through the evening with accumulations of around an inch or so expected. friday will be blustery and chilly with more snow on the way late saturday

where are my distinguishingogs at? you see this bun? all fluffy and what not? so fresh and so clean and so fresh and so clean. burger king is doing its thing.

>> i bet you're paying attention. that is snoop dogg in a burger king training video for its newest item. burger king will soon be the first chain selling hot dogs in this country and sell for $1.99 and chile cheese dog for $2.99. mellody hobson. i you're playing snoop dogg records at your house. you see that video and say i can't wait to go! >> something like that. >> reporter: okay, let's go. why is burger king doing it now? mcdonald's tried it in the past and did not work. they are calling this the biggest menu change in year. >> this is big. they are doing it because supposedly 20 billion hot dogs are consumed in the united states every year. 20 billion! when they tested this in fire markets, they found that people spent more money. instead of choosing between a hamburger and a hot dog, they

a side and drove up the average ticket. customers came there to seek the hot dogs because the competition on a national scale really doesn't have it. think about it. we are used to seeing hot dogs on the rollers in convenience stores. >> i was surprised to learn that mcdonald's actually tried this in the '90s. i don't remember that but they clearly failed at it. why does burger king think they can succeed where mcdonald's sold? >> 995,1995, the mchot dog. i don't remember it either. it was a long time ago. it's a different time now in terms of consumer interests and tastes and how these companies have willing to break the mold and be less rigid about what they are. so i think they have seen that it worked when they tested it. and these companies have tested lots of new things. like, mcdonald's now has all-day breakfast and seen some of these things have actually worked. i think they are going to continue to test new things. they say it's a product launch,

expect more in the way of hot dogs down the road. >> we are always hearing about people wanting healthy, healthy, healthy. from all we have read about hot dogs, it's not, not, not healthy! why do you think this is a gamble they think it's going to work? >> they are are partnered with oscar mayer. 100% beef hot dogs and it's broiled and it's fresh. and it's flame-grilled. when you look at burger king's recent offeringings like a mozzarella bacon cheeseburger or chicken fries or pulled pork sandwich they are not talking about healthy fare in those offerings. the customers are still coming to the stores so they want it. >> how are they doing compared to other companies? >> now they are a private company but not a standalone

their sales on their own. certainly, this whole category has been challenged. they have been challenged by the fast casual, like panera and others and chipotle, until recently, which have had the problems that they have had. the up-starts like five guys. they are really trying to hang on for market share here which is why i think they have gotten so willing to be so different and try new mellody hobson, thank you very much. a very "frank" discussion. >> they are groaning, norah? >> i borrowed it from the chyron. i can't take credit for that. are nuns trying to save their kitchen? an arent hike that a neighborhood fears is losing

month rent by more than 50% from about $3,500 to deds 4,5 hundred. what money they have comes from the generosity of others and their own hard work. >> from some donations and some of the best we know, baking. too much to make. we already walk day and night making pastries. we cannot make too much more by month. >> reporter: the kitchen is in san francisco's tenderloin neighborhood and once considered undesirable, but now within walking distance of a revitalized area of market street where twitter opened its headquarters in 2012. demand for office space has skyrocketed citywide. >> it's an absolute frenzy. it meant rent has risen dramatically and more than manhattan and more than double
