succeed president obama. >> that is, madame secretary, a low blow. >> reporter: she, seizing on what he has said to kasie hunt, on obama's record in dealing with congress. >> you don't think president obama successfully closed the gap? >> i don't. >> reporter: it was clinton's first chance since new hampshire to regain the trust of women voters. >> i've spent my entire adult life working towards making sure women are empowered to make their own choice, even if the choice is not to vote for me. >> reporter: sanders sees his candidacy as historic. >> somebody with my background, somebody with my views, i think a a nders victory would be a historical accomplishment, as well. >> reporter: they hammered each other on immigration, the economy, health care. >> i have fought my entire life to make sure health care is a right for all people. we're not going to dismantle anything.

i believe i can get the money that i need by taxing the wealthy, by closing loopholes, things we're way overdo for doing, and i think once i'm in the white house, we will have enough political capital to be able to do that. >> secretary clinton, you're not in the white house yet. >> reporter: and foreign policy. >> journalists ask who you listen to on foreign policy. we have yet to know who that is. >> well it ain't henry kissinger, that's for sure. >> that's fine. >> reporter: when asked if race relations would be better under his presidency -- >> absolutely. we are going to create millions of jobs for low-income kids. >> reporter: with clinton earning the endorsement of the congressional black caucus pack and a slam of sanders against john lewis. >> i never saw him. i was in the sit-ins, freedom ride, but i met hillary clinton.n. i met president clinton. >> reporter: sanders releasing

young daughter of eric garner. who died after new york police put him in a chokehold. >> that's why i'm for bernie. >> clinton is digging in for a fight as sanders continues to out raise her by a big marn since his new hampshire victory. >> andrea mitchell, thanks. let's turn to our panel. political analyst nicolle wallace and political correspondent, steve kornacki. good morning. >> good morning. >> let's take it piece by piece. if you watch the debate, you see there are certain voter groups and issues that keep cropping up. let's start with this battle, and it is an all-out battle for the african-american vote. steve, we saw hillary clinton really usher in this strategy that she's been trying out, which is to wrap her arms around president obama and his legacy not only that, say that bernie sanders didn't do so sufficiently.

president obama is still extremely popular with african-american voters. more than 50% of the electorate in south carolina. all of the areas where bernie sanders would try to come after hillary clinton, so many of them, the criticism he levelled against her could also be applied to president obama. she pointed that out time and again. basically put him on the defensive. he had to say, this is why i'm criticizing hillary clinton but it's not meant as a criticism of president obama. it's tough to accomplish. >> who do you think did better in terms of attracting minority voters? >> i think what was more interesting on that front didn't happen on the stage. john lewis is an american icon, not just in the african-american community. i thought it was one of the harsher criticisms of bernie sanders absenteeism on the movement i've heard so far. >> his response to a question. he didn't just say that. >> correct. >> we know hillary clinton has a problem with women voters. we saw it in new hampshire.

and madeleine albright saying things that didn't help. how did she go? >> someone just beat you for over 20 points. i've been there. she held her own last night and had one of her strongest performances. for her to do better among women, she has to do better, period. she did better. some of the things that have been off putting, she fixed. >> she said, don't vote for me because i'm a woman. she said it before. the fact i'm a woman is one of my qualities. didn't bernie sanders have an interesting reply. >> he was asked, are you blocking history? he didn't come out and say it, but we've never had a jewish president. when he won new hampshire, that's the first time a jewish candidate ever won a primary. for that matter, we haven't had too many people who call themselves socialists, either. >> the last topic, wall street. she said she wouldn't be influenced by the big banks. he said, let's not think of the voters as dumb. >> front page of the wall street

gushy her talks were. she's not going g get away with not releasing more information. >> when she was speaking in the paid speeches for the banks. >> she made hundreds of thousands of dollars speaking to the banks. this issue is not going away. he has a distinct advantage over her on the stage and the trail. >> she said president obama took some of the money from wall street and nobody said he didn't stand up to the banks. >> again, that comeback from sanders, why did they give the money then, that's easy to understand. >> nicole, steve, thank you very much. the next republican debate is in south carolina tomorrow night. most of the candidates are already in the palmetto state. last night, donald trump took his message to louisiana. nbc national correspondent peter alexander is following the gop. good morning to you. >> matt, good morning. south carolina, of course, famous for its rough and tumble politics. donald trump's opponents are

the casting company. we would not have let her appear in the ad, they said. a familiar face e giving jeb bush a boost. george w. bush will campaign with his brother, appearing here monday night. >> i'm proud of the fact he's coming and honored. >> reporter: john kasich is challenging them to be more positive. >> i don't know what he's thinking. does he realize the family legacy? spending all your time being negative. >> reporter: bush, who described himself as a joyful tortoise, is now campaigning with the joy of the texas chainsaw massacre, rubio is trying to shed his robotic image. loosening up in front of the cameras. according to an opposition aid. days after cracking under pressure on stage, rubio cracked a molar on a frozen candy bar. he said, it's not going to slow him down. >> we're not suspending our campaign. >> last night, you've heard of kissing babies? try signing toddlers.

at donald trump's ray, 11,000 people in attendance, he found a 19-month old in the crowd with a bejewelled binky and the mohawk. signing the back of his hand. not clear if there's a baby wipe for that. matt and savannah, back to you. >> thank you, peter. appreciate that. there have been major developments in the syrian crisis overnight. secretary of state john kerry announced big strides toward a potential cease-fire. keir simmons is in syria this morning. good morning. >> matt and savannah, good morning. there are people at damascus this morning who are optimistic and others do not believe there will be an end to the fighting. the hostility is still here. it won't apply to isis or the al qaeda-affiliated group. nusra. leaders say they have agreed to accelerate and expand the delivery of aid to communities under siege in syria, where some people, including children, have been dying of starvation. the secretary of state says he
