surveillance tactics. is this the town that knows too much? captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news." >> axelrod: good evening. i'm jim axelrod. and this is our of a western edition of the broadcast. in the first southern contest of campaign 2016, donald trump won the republican primary in south carolina. about 2,600 miles away in the first western contest of the year, hillary clinton won the democratic caucuses in nevada. we'll have more on the democrats, in just a moment, but first, t let's go to major garrett, whoer is covering the republican race for us tonight and is in spartanburg, south carolina. major? >> reporter: jim, donald trump has now won two primaries, news, hampshire and south carolina, that have historically propelledpu republicans to the party nomination and in some cases, the presidency.

campaign. what we do know is trump encountered the most consistent and withering criticism during the week in this state questioning his conservatism andsm his temperament for the presidency, tv ads, robo calls, direct mail pieces and broadsides from his republican rivals all across the state. and guess what? he still emerged the winner, with his constituency and his message intact. here's some interesting datans from the exit polls. they show that trump won inho three crucial categories-- who can handle the economy, who was an agent of change, and who could embody voter anger with washington. in every case, jim, trump won these by two to one, in some o cases, by better than two to one. lastly, trump surprisingly won among evangelical christians, a large voting bloc in south carolina, thought to be a prime ted cruz constituency. for cruz, millions spent and many conservatives mobilized, but all it gained him was a tight battle for second with marco rubio.

governor nikki haley and then rest of the state's tea party- aligned political establishment, but this night belonged to donald trump, a campaign that has no pollster, and has no senior strategist, it has trump, a few loyal aides, an instinctnd and a working class message that t not only captivated those votersd and brought them into the process but also captivated many other republicans as well. >> axelrod: all right, major, sood let's look ahead. mr. trump will have the nevadae caucuses on tuesday, and then super tuesday a week from then.ek how does today set him up for the next week and a half or so? >> reporter: it creates momentum, jim. primary victories give people in i other states the option and the encouragement to vote for the front-runner. in politics, momentum iscs enthusiastic, and it is infectious.fect and the trump campaign is going to say, "i told you we'd win. we're winning now. get on the bandwagon and we'llon keep winning." he's well positioned for nevada and certainly well positionedos for the march 1 super tuesday primaries.ione

south carolina, thank you. on the democratic side, hillaryin clinton is the winner of today's nevada caucuses.y' nancy cordes is at clinton is campaign headquarters in las vegas. nancy. >> reporter: jim, this is a huge relief for the clinton camp after a brutal loss in new ha hampshire about a week and a half ago.sa here at caesar's palace, clinton told cheering supporters that some may have doubted us, but we never doubt each other. >> i want to thank each and every one of you. you turned out in every corner of this state with determination and purpose, hotel and casino workers who never wavered. ( cheers and applause ) tens of thousands of men and women with kids to raise, bills to pay, and dreams that won't die. w this is your campaign. and it is-- >> reporter: senator sanders

he has a good chance to win ao number of states on super tuesday, march 1. >> a little while ago, i called up secretary clinton and congratulated her and her staff with a victory here in nevada. they ran a very aggressive, effective campaign, and i applaud them for their efforts. >> reporter: clinton reallyn barnstormed the las vegas stripme over the past couple of days, meeting with dishwashers and casino workers and maids. at a caucus here at caesar's palace today, in fact, we met a maid who had spoken to clinton twice in the past week. and women, in fact, were instrumental, jim, in clinton's win here. they broke for her 57% to 41%. and that was a big turnaround from new hampshire, where she lost among women by 11 points. p older voters were another key to her victory.

66% to 31%. sanders, as he has before, dominated with younger voters. he won them by a whopping 47 points.h and, interestingly, he also bested clinton among latino voters, whom she has been courting here for over a year. but she dominated among african americans and that is a big sign of relief for the clinton campaign which is looking tout keep its african americanhe coalition together in south carolina, where democrats hold. their primary a week from today, jim. >> axelrod: nancy cordes witham the victorious clinton campaign in las vegas. thank you, nancy. for more on this big night in presidential politics, let's go back to bob schieffer in south carolina. bob, let's start with hillary clinton, who is now headed your way. does her win in nevada today steady her ship? >> reporter: well, i think athi least it is no longer taking on water. some people were saying during the middle of the week she might actually lose out there in nevada. she didn't. it wasn't a win by as much as

probably have hoped for. but i think it is a win, and it will give her a little bump going into south carolina, where i she is a heavy favorite because of the large african americanme vote, to beat bernie sanders. so she's still-- she's still >> axelrod: bob, you've been doing this a long time. donald trump? >> reporter: no.p? short answer, no. but i'll tell you what, he didn't win down here by as much as some people thought he was going to win. had he won by, say, 20 points or something, i think he would be en route to getting the republican nomination. but what we've got here is theat three-man race now. maybe the lead on the republican side is marco rubio is back in the game after his early stumbles. ted cruz is still in there. i think there's some hard decisions that are going to have to be made now in the next few days by jeb bush and his people.

fold his tent? that we'll find out in the next couple of days. >> axelrod: bob schieffer, as always, thank you so much for your insight. a week after he died while vacationing in texas, supreme court justice antonin scalia was laid to rest today after hisdi funeral in washington. our chief legal correspondent jan crawford was there. ( bells tolling ) >> reporter: the bells tolled 79 times for justice scalia, one for each year of his life, asli his casket was carried into the basilica. thousands of mourners gathered to pay final respects for a legal giant, the court's most influential conservative voice. >> let us pray. >> reporter: scalia's son, thescal reverend paul scalia, led the mass, delivering a moving and personal homily. >> but more important to us and to him, he was dad. sure, he forgot our names at

( laughter ) but there are nine of us. ( laughter ) he loved us. and sought to show that love. >> reporter: with those memories, there was humor. >> he had found himself in myin confessional line. ( laughter ) and he quickly departed it.

on the court that will be difficult to fill. now, justice scalia's burial was private, and by tomorrow, with the end of the official mourning, washington will immediately turn its focus on to the battle over his successor. jim. >> axelrod: jan, thank you. now to the clash between apple and the f.b.i. this week, apple announced it would fight a court order to unlock an iphone belonging to one of the san bernardino terrorists, citing privacy concerns. let's bring in cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger. a lot of angles to this story, jill.th let's look at the business angle and what this could mean toan apple's brand. >> reporter: you know, it's amazing.re apple fans, they are so loyal. we look at marketing surveys, and they say, "part of thelo reason we love apple is because of the privacy." right after this thing went public, we saw twitter light up with people saying, "thank you,ht apple," with a special hashtag. this is part of apple's brand promise-- privacy, security. and i think that's part of the battle.

department deputy commissioner john miller said yesterday, hang on, there were iphones in the pockets of people killed in california and in paris as well. so in a way, this is also a lose-lose for apple. >> reporter: absolutely. in fact, we know that john's boss, mr. bratton, the commissioner, said this was corporate irresponsibility. and i think apple is a little bit concerned because they mayeo make people upset about, "hey, why aren't you complying? this is national security." but, on the other hand, again, this is part of the promise. and, frankly, what if these people get upset and say, "hey, apple's not going to do this.. we'll go somewhere else. maybe another company will do it." >> axelrod: steve jobs, apple's founder, famously apolitical. tim cook, the current c.e.o., not so much, playing it very differently. >> reporter: yes, very outspoken, really wants to be part of the dialogue in politics. came out as gay in 2014, very supportive of l.g.b.t. issues, very supportive of environmental issues. i think he believes this is partat of his legacy, a moral legacy at apple. g and what's going to bein interesting is to see whether
