candidate sarah palin endorsed him yesterday in iowa. the "new york post" quickly dubbed them "ladies and the trump." >> they will campaign togogher today in iowa and oklahoma. major garrett is in washington and looks at palin's decision to back trump while turning her back on former ally ted cruz. >> cruz needed palin in 2012 when he ran for the senate and would have loved to have her support now. trump has always been bigger than palin as political nonconformist and reality tv star and now the resilient gop front-runner. >> no more pussy-footing around! >> reporter: sarah palin's endorsement bringsnergy to trump's cacaaign in iowa and de deprives his closest rival ted cruz. palin is not the political force

in part t tea party movement she helped inspired has matured and moved on. at trump's side she proved capable of amplifying some familiar themes. >> are you ready for a commander in chief who will let our warriors do their job and kick is sis as? >> nor claims he is a phony conservative. >> well, trump and his -- uh, his trumpers are not conservative enough. my goodness gracious. what the heck would the establishment know about conservatismsm >> reporter: palin endorsed trump for the senate in 2012. before last night events he took the blow in stride. >> sarah palin is fantastic. without her friendsdip and support i wouldn't be in the senate today, so regardless of what sarah decides to do in 2016 i will always remain a big fan of hers.

off attacks from another republican, long time iowa governor terry branstad. >> i think it would be a big stake for iowa to support him. >> it is no surprise that the establishment is in full panic mode. >> reporter: cruz dismissed branstad as part of the problem. >> the washington cartel live on cronyism and it lives on making deals. >> reporter: cruzz retained superior organizational strength in iowa and as the caucuses approach that strength is likely to prove as important, possibly more important than any one endorsement. in a moment out of his apprentice past, trump told his iowa director yesterday, "you better win, or you're fired." charlie? >> thanks, major. >> yes. republican strategist rick davis is with us. he was john mccain's manager in 2008. the senator became a republican nominee and chose sarah palin as his running mate.

what does this do to ted cruz? >> i think it's a battle for sort of a dwindling carson vote. i think we have seen koors becarson city number one in iowa and now slip to maybe three and maybe four. i think the percentage he is sitting on, both trump and cruzz look at that like a dog salivating over a good, meaty bone. they want the people coming off carson on to the ballot and that is why the focus on evangelicaca. i think what we saw yesterday between the visits to the liberty university and jerry falwell the nice things he said about donald trump to the sarah palin announcement was a real targeted effort to seekk the evangelicals without having to talk the talk, he is walking the walk. >> is there a downside for him in sarah palin endorsing him? >> not in iowa. i think everyone else in the country people are scratching their heads when they wake up saying what is he thinking? i think he has made a bet if he

sweeping the whole -- >> running the table? >> running the table. >> do you think that this ends up being a contested battle at the convention? >> yeah. . i honestly spent a lot of time looking at the delgsegates and who is positioned in these republican states. three are battling is out right now. the sort of outsider segment landed on donald trump and really happy with what they have got and about a third of the vote. then a third of the vote on movement conservatives. they sit squarary in there with ted cruz and they are not going anywhere right now. they are very loyal to cruz. then there is the establishment. that is another third to a little bit more. they are sprprd over five o six candidates. and so as that consolidates, and it probably will the first three or four states you have three trains running down the track and if they continue to win at 30/30/30, i don't know how you

one person, you know, with the necessary delegateso be the presumive nominee. not a good d d foriowa. the governor came out against him and the headlines are with donald truup and sarah palin. >> you lose and win every day at a campaign in this stage down to the wire. a big win day for trump and big losing day for cruz. >> if trump pulls off iowa and new hampshire there and south carolina, it could be moving towards the nomination. >> well, in the old schedule, that was the case, right? because nothing stopped you. >> right. >> ts time, there is a two-week period of time right after south carolina where it's all proportional primaries and everyone sort of gets spread out throughout the south and southeast. what happens is nobody really wins or lose ons. you just collect delegations. >> right. >> i iis an opportunity to reset the race and if there is a juggernaut juggernaut, i think you see people saying, wow, especially on the establishment side we

the 15th of march and next big winner take all state and they rally around either a rubio or a christie or a bush and say, we got to stop the trump movement. >> it's i ieresting t t watch every single day. >> every day. >> we thank you for coming in today. >> thank you. the latest poll in new hampshire finds the democratic primary there is turning into no contest at all. bernie sanders leads hillary clinton by 27 points in that survey released yesterday. the first in the nation primaries less than three weeks away. but the vermont senator is trailing clinton in national polls.s. nancy cordes is covering sanders big surge in new hampshire. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. yes, 60-33 is an enormous lead. a trump-sized lead, you might say. the campaigns like to say they don't pay much attention to the polls but sanders was celebrating those numbers at each o his campaign events in prove he is a real contender. >> if you run into people and say i like what bernie stands

please tell them that is really not the case. >> reporter: the clinton campaign shot back in a statement saying, senator sanders is trying to make a case on elect ability based on meaningless polls. and they said sanders is gainini because republican groups are talking him up, tweeting about run against him than against clinton. naturally, ted cruz did say last night, he was asked about this, he would prefer to go up against sanders this clinton because he thinks a socialist would be easiest to beat. clinton, you'll recall, won in new hampshire in 2008 but wasn't going up against an opponent next door back then. sanders is from neighboring vermont and historically candidates from bordering states almost always win in new hampshire. >> thank you, nancy. breaking news. a terror attack on a university in pakistan. at least 20 people are dead.

it is wednesday, january 20th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there is more real news ahead, including a plan to revolutionize the collegege admissions process. but first, here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> sarah palin's endorsement takes more from ted cruz than it adds to donald trump. >> are you ready to stump for trump? >> the battle for the carson vote. trump and cruz look at that like a dog salivating over a bone. >> campaigns like to say they don't pay much attention to the polls, but sanders was celebrating those numbers at his campaign events. >> a group of armed men stormed the university attacking students and staff members in

>> governor snyder said no one in flint will go without clean water. all of these cases will be gone by midday. >> it's a piece of energy and it has a lot of real estate to travel over, a lot of things it will encounter as it pushes to the east. >> george clooney and whoopi goldberg echo t sentiments that thete is a lack of recognition on one of hollywood's biggest nights. >> once you got your car, you did a lot of parking. >> you didi did a`lot of parking, what do you mean? >> it gave you freedom to go somewhere with someone that you cared about to be on your own. >> oh. >> am i right or wrong? >> you're wrong. >> okay. >> i was. >> i was precocious. >> this morning's "eye opener" at 8:00 is presented by liberty mutual insurance. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. the inauguration of the next

year from today. republican hopeful d dald trump said if he wins the white house, there will be a place for sarah palin in his administration. the former vice presidential nominee will campaign with trump today in iowa and oklahoma. her endorsement of the billionaire is seen as a letdown for ted cruz. he is battling with trump for the anti-establishment vote. in iowa tuesday palin slammed the republican elite for not supporting trump. >> they're attacking their own front-runner. now, would the dnc ever come after their front-runner and her supporters? no, because they don't eat their own. they can't afford to see the status quo go, otherwiwe they won't be available to be slurping off the gravy train that's been feeding them all these years. now they're concerned about this ideological purity? give me a break.

wingin', bitter clinging, gunslingers. tell us that we're not red enough? yeah, coming from the establishment, right. >> now, you may remember that ted cruz won a senate seat in 2012 with sarah palin's support. he says he will always be a fan of hers no matter who she endorses. campaigning in new hampshire, cruz kept pushing his anti-establishment message. >> conservatives are uniting behind our campaign and we will see, like the empire strikes back, the establishment wilil strike back because they don't want an end to the cronyism and the gravy train from washington. >> a recent poll found that 52% of likely republican voters in iowa prefer an anti-establishment candidate and another poll in iowa found that 57% feel betrayed by republican party politicians. a new poll of democrats is adding to the drama in the democratic race. it shows bernie sanders with a commanding lead over hillary clinton in new hampshire. the senator from neighboring vermont is ahead by nearly 30 points.

in iowa tuesday sanders said that voter turnout w ws elections and his campaign will be better able to deliver against republicans. >> any objective look at our campaign and the energy and the excitement that it is generating withthoung people and with working people, compare that to secretary clinton's campaign. will come to the conclusion that if our goal is to have a large voter turnout, we arehe campaign that can do that. >> sanders will campaign thursday in new hampshire. clinton will spend jt one day there this week and four in iowa. a new repept coming out this morning could fundamentally change the college admission process. administrators from top colleges and universities are launching the document can the turn-- "turning the tide." frank bruni looks at the growing concern in his new article and

you go is not who you'll be." we're pleased to have frank bruni back in studio 57. welcome. thanks. >> this has been an issue you've written about before. >> yeah. >> so what's going to change in the admissions process from this report? >> well, the report can't command change, but the report is signed off on, endorsed by so many people at top universities that it clearly indicates a desire and an intention to do things differently. i think what's going to happen is you're going to see in bits and pieces over the coming years the admissions process becece less slaveo the metrics that have been used so far. already you have a lot of schools saying s.a.t., a.c.t. is wptional. schos saying they're not going to be as impressed with a huge load of a.p. courses. they're trying to get kids away from script following during high school and encourage more genuine passions in them and figure out a way to judge them by the way they commit to these passions. >> this is a really big deal, i think, because you said it could

padding but also levels the playing field for kids that don't get the opportunity to get the tutors and they'll pay attention to other things like what, frank? >> pay attention to things like civic engagement. one of the things this report goes into at great length is it's telling admissions officers let's stop being impressed simply by the name of a charitable organization the kid has worked for. let's find a way through essays and letters of recommendation to figure out whether that charity work was genuine, heartfelt and sustained or just checking off another box on this is what they want to see in cambridge. >> specifically the report addresses academic pressure and mental health issues. it says many middle and upper income communities, rates of depression, delinquency, substance abuse and anxiety appear to be considerably higher. why is that? >> kids feel they have to nail things in a certain way. as admissions rates have dropped, they're competing

getting the message, partly from the admissions process but also partly from their parents, they're getting the message if they don't hit a certain marker, get into aertain kindf school, they have failed in life and forevermore will be behind the eight ball. that is so destructive. it's not only that we see those high rates of mental illness of kids in high school but every university is reporting records numbers of kids coming in for treatment for mental health services on campus and that's a bigger and bigger problem. >> but the bottom line is how do you look and make sure thaha yoyore not leaving behehd some really terrific kids who don't have the privilege that other kids have. >> which is key. the context for this is we're living in a country with yawning income inequality and higher education is asking, very appropriately more than ever, what's our part in social mobility, how do we remedy that. one of the reasons you're seeing schools step away from standardized tests is there's a lot of research that what standardized tests judge more than anything else is family backgrounds incomes. so they're trying to say what

potential and don't just reflect privivege. >> s spay attention to a kid who maybe has to stay home and help the family or has a part-time job and has to help the family and can't be engaged in community service. >> and recognize the character in that kid. and that character will be his key, instead of a load of a.p. courses. >> so how realistic is this, frank, that you think this will actually happen? >>,i don't think we'll see an overwhelming sea change in one admission cycle. but when you look at the number of people that have signed off on this, when you look at the news conference today someone from yale will be there, someone from m.i.t., the university of michigan, you are clearly seeing a signal admissions offices will make some changes. i think over the next five years, big chchges. >> you also write ababt a survey of middle and high school students about what they thought was important. >> the author of this report was the person that did this research. they asked kids what matters most, individual achievement,

they were shocked to find only 22% said c criageing for others. and they said that's enclosurely -- we've got to getting -- >> did it have anything to do with background? >> i don't know if they broke it down that way. what they're asking in this new report is to what extent does the college admissions process bring about those values and exacerbate the problem of an excessive focus onndividual achievement and where do i rate and what's my status in society. >> very interesting. >> thank you, frank. always good to see you. vice president joe biden lost his son, beau, to cancer and now he's leading the mission to come up with a cure. our dr. david agus will reveal

we lost two of them games. i'm trying to get one with of them. y to walk o o of here 1-3. this will be my third game here. >> one and two? >> you know what i mean. >> no, i don't! >> no, wait.

one, that means -- >> that's three games! >> yeah. but you said 1-3. >> if we win! >> one four three? >> that's what i meant. >> usc, baby! >> they must be really good friends! that is kyle lowery of the toronto raptors giving his teammate a hard lesson. he hopes to improve his games played in london but his math, he said it was a bit off. >> for more than 40 years mike lupica has covered will every sport and authored 22 sports theme knowledge for young adults. he sold five million copies of his book oip the extra yard" is his newest novel aboutut a eighth grade boy who deals with challenges on and off the field. the book is published by a division of cbs. great to have you here. what happened to the other eight

>> really? >> yeah. >> we have peyton manning and tom brady. break it down. >> the funny thing is you always hear about brady versus manning. i always thought about it as manning versus bill belichick. they are not guarding each other and not in the low pos in basketball. interesting to watch peyton play now and to go to another sport, is like somebody who is a great fastball pitcher in baseball and now thro[ing melons and cantaloupe. he c carly can't throw the ball and he is getting by on guiel. the only advantage they have on sunday, i think, is that the game is in denver instead of foxborough. >> how about their defense? >> broncos defense, i believe, has been the most formidable in the sport this year. we saw what happened when brock osweiler was the quarterba against the patriots before and brady. it's hard to do that twice in

>> you're predicting the patriots? >> i do. only for my own twisted amusememt. because the patriots make everybody so crazy, outside of, like, a six-state area in new% england. so they are always beingccused of s sething and i just love the fact that it makes most of the country this passionate. >> your twisted amusement is fun to watch. your latest t lumn about t t nfl coin toss and you're not a fan because? >> a billion dollar industry, the biggest we have ever had in sports in this country, often comes down@to a flip of the coin. you tell me another place in spspts -- then they don't use a real coin! >> the question whether it's flipped or not as we had this past weekend. >> all i know is that you can make a case that aaron rodgers might be the best plalar in football. two years in a row, because of a coin flip, he never gets to touch the ball in overtime. that is a bone-headed system. >> right. wh would you place itwith?

charlie, i see why they have to keep the line moving to television. play until the game is resolved. certainly play an extra quarter. where do they have to be? nowhere. >> let's talk about your new book "the extra yard." your agent. >> agent to the stars and me. >> it's about an eighth grader, teddy. what are some of the underlying themes in this book? >> norah, i got into this world because ono year i took all of the kids who got cut in my town and started a team of my own and gave them a chance to give back. i didn't know what i was doing. my wife now says in retrospect, honey, you writing inside of the mind of a 12-year-old seems like pretty much a perfect fit! but if you start reading my book, you know i'm going to ask my main character to ovorcome something. teddy in this book has g gwn up without a father because of a divorce and his father lives on the other side of the country. you would think he would be

back into his life. it's not that easy. this is a book that kind of tips the whole father/son and sports thing. >> you coached all of your kids? >> i tried not to screw them up but let me tell you something. these books are writttt in that spirit. there's not a time, norah, when i go by a field or a gym where i coached and wouldn't give up a zillion dollars to have one more friday night or saturday afternoon back. >> who is the audience for your books? >> oh, it starts in middle grade. we go from, like, 8 to 15. and the great thing is once i get them, they stay with me. i was telling gayle beforor the show today, i'll be out in public now and i'll see somebody who i know is a mom and coming towards me. i know they are not going to want to talk about my dopey newspaper column or tv. they are are going to tell me a story how i got their kids to want to read. then they will say, you probably get tired of hearing that. i said, not at all!
