carolina. nancy cordes is at the university of wisconsin, milwaukee, the scene of tonight's debate. >> reporter: good morning. this debate has become high stakes for hillary clinton after her big loss in new hampshire on tuesday. she stayed largely out of sight yesterday, prepping for the debate, while bernie sanders did something of a victory lap around new york. >> to get the vote down there, you have to eat boiled peanut. have you ever a boiled peanut? >> reporter: on "the late show" sanders got campaign advice from a native south carolinian. >> you have that with a nice beer. you want a beer? all right. this is a little -- >> reporter: but sanders knows it will probably take more than that in a state where blacks make up a solid majority of the democratic electorate. he sat down with the reverend al sharpton in harlem wednesday. >> is this your block? >> yeah. >> reporter: later took a walk through his old neighborhood with scott pelley where they

discussed the road ahead. >> you are going to be facing african-american voters and latino voters. how do you appeal to those people? >> the same way we do to all americans. >> reporter: but the first black president favors hillary clin n clinton. >> i don't think there is any doubt that he wants hillary to win the nomination and believes she would be the best candidate in the fall. >> it is great to see so many old friends. >> reporter: in a speech in springfield, illinois, president obama appeared to echo some of clinton's campaign themes. >> trying to find common ground doesn't -- doesn't make me less of a democrat or less of a progressive. it means i'm trying to get stuff done. >> reporter: clinton lost south carolina eight years ago. her husband's critiques of mr. obama there were seen as one reason why. >> this whole thing is the biggest fairy tale i've ever seen. >> reporter: in new hampshire this week, it was sanders in his cross-hairs which, the candidate discussed on "the view." >> i was disappointed in president clinton.

i've known him 25 years and i like him and respect him. i hope this campaign does not degenerate -- >> he is fighting for his wife. >> i understand that. but nonetheless, let's keep it on the issues, not making personal attacks. >> i agree. >> reporter: on election night, sanders asked his supporters to donate online and they sent in more than $6 million in 24 hours. it is no accident, charlie, that members of the congressional black contactus are endorsing secretary clinton today to try to erase some of the sting of tuesday's loss. more than a dozen of them say they will be campaigning for her in south carolina. >> thanks, nancy. >> we spoke early with cbs news political director face the nation john dickerson. he's in south carolina preparing for saturday's republican debate. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. >> are you outside? >> reporter: i am jououtside. i can see my breath. we brought new hampshire down to south carolina and i'm not sure they are very happy about it. >> what's the stakes for each of

them in the context of new hampshire going to south carolina? >> reporter: hillary clinton wants to turn the page. she wants a new story line to emerge after this debate. people stopped talking about how badly she lost in new hampshire. bernie sanders has to build on that momentum from new hampshire. he has to give people who are turning to him and looking at him maybe for the first time in a different way a really easy understandable message they can rally around. >> john, is there any question about how she'll do in south carolina and nevada? the polls suggest that she is far out in front. >> reporter: exactly. and what she wants to do is lay a predicate for victories in those two places so she can say i'm a national candidate and i represent the broad coalition of the democratic party. so those two states are very well set up for her. she just needs to get people thinking about those two states and not the last one. >> so hillary clinton is expected to get the endorsement of the congressional black caucus today. famous black author coat says he is endorsing bernie sanders. what kind of difference will that make and what message will it send, if any, to minority

voters? >> reporter: i don't think the coates endorsement for bernie difference. what makes a difference, hillary clinton, i was here six months ago or so and they were organizing in south carolina among the african-american community as if she were behind by ten points and that was six months when she wasn't. she has been working the state very hard. there is an organization here that is in place and she has been reaching out to the african-american community for a long time. she isn't just arriving and hoping for the votes. so that should really help her in this state. >> john, let's talk about south carolina for the republicans. the electorate there is much more like iowa than it is new hampshire. a lot more evangelicals in the republican primary, less independents. does that present a challenge for donald trump? >> reporter: right. more conservatives, more evangelicals. but trump is way ahead here. he's in much better shape here than he was in iowa going into the vote there. >> we will be watching.

bill bumgarner, a senior vice president with the cruise line, says the strength of the storm caught them off-guard. would you say the captain ultimately made a mistake in deciding to go ahead with this voyage? >> if we knew the winds of 125-mile-per-hour sustained were going to be in the area, we never would have gone. no question about it. >> reporter: after reviewing weather reports for the area, a former cruise line captain told us the ship should never have set sail. >> there really was absolutely no way that that ship was going to avoid that storm. it's a miracle that the damage and the injuries were as minimal as they were. this could have been an absolute catastrophe. >> reporter: royal caribbean offered passengers one more night on board here in port and hundreds of them took them up on the offer. the anthem of the seas will be here for a few days for inspections and repairs and then it's off on another cruise next

good morning to our viewers in the west. it is thursday, february 11th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including all the women who are voting for bernie sanders. we'll ask the editor of cosmopolitan if hillary clinton can win them back. but first, here's today's "eye opener" at eight. >> the campaigns here are gearing up quickly, but 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 around new york. >> hillary clinton wants to turn the page. she wants a new story. bernie sanders has to build on that momentum from new hampshire. >> passengers streamed off the

ship. some were kissing the ground, which is completely believable. given what they went through. >> one of the deputies was responding to a call. that's when investigators say the suspect pulled a gun and fired. >> fidel castro says that you told him that you did -- >> you won't tell me anything? >> i'm still struck by hearing a police say so and so was full of poop. >> you should have been there. i was a little surprised. >> 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 yesterday's new hampshire primary. most of the country standing right where we left him. there. he's still there. le. >> ready, seven. >> 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. >> and the survivor's wasted no time targeting new hampshire winner donald trump. >> donald had a good night last night. now new hampshire is a good state. for a liberal republican. >> he doesn't have any policy positions. he tells you what he's going to do but he won't tell you how he's going to do it. >> he's not been tested. he's a talented guy. and he is an entertaining person. unless you are a woman. unless you're hispanic. unless you're a p.o.w. unless you're a disabled person. it's really entertaining. but if you're not, it's downright divisive and ugly and mean-spirited. >> donald trump hit back at a rally in south carolina. but he 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 bodyly. i don't know. i honestly, i talk about hillary, i honestly don't know if hillary's going to be running. i was there last night where this guy sanders is up ranting and raving like a lunatic. but, you know, he won. but i was there. i saw it. and i'm shocked. you know, because he's so nontraditional. and i just don't see a socialist as the head of this country. i mean where are we going to? >> bernie sanders visited his native brooklyn with scott pelley yesterday and scott asked sanders if he can win in states that are less liberal than new hampshire? >> look, 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 regarded as a fringe candidate. you don't have any money. you don't have any political organization. last poll we saw you with 4%. how are you possibly going to do well in iowa or new hampshire? well a lot has happened in nine months. >> sanders almost beat clinton

in iowa before trouncing her in new hampshire. he had overwhelming support there from young voters, and women. our exit polls showed sanders beat clinton by 11 points among all female voters. and those polls reveal women under 45 voted for sanders by a huge 40-point margin. joanna coles is editor in chief of "cosmopolitan" magazine and she's here to talk to us about why clinton is struggling with women. good morning. >> good morning. >> new hampshire, there's no doubt she got trounced by bernie sanders, amongst all demographic groups, including women. what happened? >> well, i think one of the things we have to remember in this cycle at this point in the election is that voters are looking for something new. and what we hear from millennial voters in particular is there is a huge mistrust of american institutions. they feel the political system has failed them. if they want to start a business, banks won't lend to them. they would rather raise money on kick-starter because banks brought about the financial crash. this is a generation that's been told to go to college, get a

degree, and in fact they go to college, they get a degree, they graduate with huge amounts of debt, and they capital find a job. and of course, hillary clinton is seen as part of that establishment. and so bernie feels like this exciting feel-good candidate who's promising free education, very appealing if you're a young millennial, and i think that hillary is running a general campaign, so she's actually running from a much more moderate place, promising more of the same. and bernie is promising something new, and he's 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? >> well, first of all -- >> other than those who separate themselves out because their millennials. >> i love your questioning, i think it's deeply sexist. the idea that women vote only with our vaginas is as ridiculous as suggesting as men vote only with their penises.

they vote for the things they care about. and one of those things is their pocketbooks, right? this is a generation that is deeply in debt. they talk about wanting experience, as well as 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 debt. they're worried about health care. and bernie appears to be this very exciting, rather cool candidate, as does donald trump. >> we know that. >> so why are you asking me why women across america, do they support hillary or not? >> because i've been told by the producers that you have been part of the white house and that you've been asking about women specifically and who they favor. >> well -- young women and we're very interested in what they're engaged in. >> so how -- >> they're -- >> so i asked a question, your readers are young women so we're asking what are young women thinking. >> i'm trying to tell you. that they don't trust american institutions. because hillary has been the sect they feel that she's very much at the heart of that government which think they 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. i think young women think of beyonce or rihanna as their feminist icon. and yesterday there was a fascinating tweet i saw, which had gone everywhere on twitter, which said madeleine albright and gloria steinem, not my kind of feminism. and you think, well what is your kind of men nymph? it's the mother of feminism. >> that created a little bit of a kerfuffle the two of them speaking in support of hillary where gloria steinem said they're going to bernie sanders because they're looking for young men. she has sinced walked that back, of course. but that also, i think, rubbed many young women the wrong way. >> well i think you can never come out and tell a young generation what they should think. or what they must think. or how lucky they are to be in the position. and that was very unfortunate. and we saw it rebounded on them. and i do think that this is a

generation that look at beyonce and think, i want to be like her. look at the way she won the super bowl. right? no one can remember if it was the broncos or panthers. beyonce came out. >> it was the broncos. >> who cares. who cares. >> do you think there's something called clinton fatigue? you alluded to that earlier. >> i do think that elections -- this is a consumer culture. we are taught to want new things. and hillary clinton, as she herself said, her democratic town hall on cnn, she's been around in the public eye for 25 years. and that feels dull. 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. we can't assume that new hampshire is going to dictate the rest of the election. >> on another question, you and your husband are good friends with the mayor, bloomberg. do you have any sense of where he's leaning? >> i have no sense of where he's

leaning. but it must be very galling for him, i would think, looking at how well donald trump appears to be doing and thinking well 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 myself, i didn't inherit it, and why is donald trump doing so well in the polls? >> thank you. >> all right. >> thank you for coming. >> joanna coles, good to see you. >> michelle miller gets an answer from lionel richie on a question that many have been asking. ♪ hello >> talk about "hello." >> oh, yeah. >> 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. so does lionel richie mind sharing "hello" with adele? what does he say

are consumed in the united states every year. 20 billion. >> wow. >> and when they tested this in five markets, they found that people spent more money. instead of choosing between a hamburger and a hot dog, they bought both making a hot dog like a side. so it 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're used to seeing hot dogs on those rollers in convenience stores. >> right. yeah. >> 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 it can succeed where mcdonald's failed? >> so 1995, it was the mchot dog. i have to admit, i don't remember it either. >> yeah. >> so it's been a long time ago. i think that, you know, it's a different time now in terms of consumer interest, taste, how these companies are willing to break the mold and be less rigid about what they are. so i think they've seen that it worked when they tested it. and these companies that test

it, lots of new things like mcdonald's now has all-day breakfast. and they've seen that some of these things have actually worked. and i think that they're going to continue to test new things. they say it's not a product launch, it's a category launch. meaning, i think we can expect more in the way of hot dogs down the road. >> you know, we're always hearing about people wanting healthy, healthy, healthy, and from all we read about hot dogs it's like, not, not, not healthy. so why do you think that this is a gamble that they think going to work? >> well, they're saying that they're partnered with oscar mayer, 100% beef hot dogs. it's the char grilled instead of the boiled or the rollers that we're used to seeing. so i think they're pushing that it's fresh and different in that way. but burger king has been unapologetic. they stay in their lane. when you look at their recent offerings like the mozzarella bacon cheeseburger or the chicken fries. or the pulled pork sandwich, they are not talking about healthy fare in those offerings,

and i think the customers are still coming to the store. so they want it. >> how are they doing as a competitor to the other companies? >> well, now they're a private company. so we can't -- they're inside of a bigger company, but they're not a stand-alone like they were. so we can't see their sales on their own. but certainly this whole category has been challenged. they've been challenged by the fast casuals like panera and others, chipotle until recently, which has had the problems that they've had. but they're, you know, the upstarts like five guys, and they're really trying to hang on for market share here, which is why i think they've gotten so willing to be so different and try new things. >> all right. mellody hobson, thank you so much. a very frank discussion. ba-dum-bum. >> norah, ooh. >> you got to get credit for it. i borrowed it from the kyron. i cannot take credit for that. is san francisco too expensive for nunns trying to save their
