7:11 am
the political thing. we did better than anticipated. we would have rallies where tenumber of people would show up than we expected. we got to see it from an early point. i think south carolina, frankly, is going to be similar to that. >> you doubled up on john you've said you are sure you can beat hillary clinton or bernie sanders. are you the favorite to be the next president of the united states? >> that, i don't know. i don't want to talk about i think we're doing very well. we have something special. two days ago, i was in south carolina and we filled up the it was packed with people. it's a movement. country. they want to see us take the country back. they want great deals, not horrible deals. we lose money with win with the military. we can't beet at isis.rge patton not being able to beat isis. it doesn't work that way.
7:12 am
>> new hampshire reordered things. who is your biggest competition now, is it kasich? cruz in south carolina? >> great question. i think all of all accomplished people. they're governors and senators. they're all very good people. maybe, you know. but i wouldn't want to pick one. they're close enough, and we'll see what happens. they're all accomplished people. >> it's serious now, mr. trump. i mean, now people are going togood, hard look at you and say, can he be the leader of the free world? can he be our president? >> they've been looking at me, matt, six months. >> now this new hampshire win this guy is on track. when it comes to parents in this country, they want their kids to be able to look up to the ant them to be able to admire the president. you were on with us last week and we talked about being more subdued. you said, i'm trying to become more statesmanlike, mored. this week, you continued using some words, repeating a word
7:13 am
an event that i'm not going to here. is that sats tatesmanlike? >> we had 5,000 people in a snowstorm, in a blizzard, and time. a woman, not a man, shouted out this word, and thenout again. >> she didn't have to repeat it. >> we had a good time and it wasn't the worst thing in the >> you're a presidential candidate and we have to bleep it, is that what you want to show? >> we were havingtime, got a standing ovation. everybody was up and down, standing, screaming. it's one of the reasons i won. you have to be yourself. now, as i get -- look, i was at the best school and all that stuff. i know what to do and whatnot to do. i will say this, as you get closer, you act we were having a good time. the people went out and voted for me and that's why we got the numbers we did. look, this country, political correctness is killing us.
7:14 am
or good manners, temperament? >> it wasn't the worst thing in repeat. i said, you should never say that word. >> then sarcastically repeated the word. >> did i reprimand the person? you can't reprimand if you're going to say it yourself. when are you going to tax returns? >> they're being worked on now. >> what's the hold up? >> i guarantee the biggest ever in the history of what we're it's complicated stuff. we will be releasing that. >> will people be surprised at the rate you pay, lower or higher than expected? >> i fight like hell not a lot of tax. every politician probably does. i watched others where they say, i want to pay taxes. i fight like hell not to pay i hate the way the government spends my money. >> big winner in new hampshire,
7:15 am
>> thank you very much. now to the s place finisher on the republican side. ohio governor john kasich. he made his way to south carolina over night and will look tos momentum. governor, good morning and congratulations. >> thank you. we're very happy. >> i saw you on your bus in new hampshire, and youwere feeling this coming. what do you think made the difference in the final days? was it something you said, or was it the faltering of other >> no, i don't think it was the faltering. we were on our way up anyway. we do have great grassroots people, which we'll be able to country. we'll be building teams everywhere we are. secondly, i had a positive message. as you know, savannah, i was the only one with a really positive i always felt that will light could overcome the darkness in a political campaign where we could say what we're fong families together, creating jobs, making sure no
7:16 am
that message was used consistently for the last -- oing it most of my lifetime -- but a very strong message about all of that. i think, finally, ith, along with the fact that our tv commercials were positive. i had so many millions of dollars spent against me. we overcame d you said the light can overcome the darkness and your positive message resonated with voters. you're behind a ahead in the polls and has a habit of when somebody gets close to him, talking about donald trump, targeting that negativity. can your positive message hold up under that withering attack that has claimed other candidates? >> well, matt, here's the thing, somebody wants to mess withthey're messing with the wrong guy. i'm not going to sit there and be a marshmallow and have somebody pound me. look, i was a congressman, budget, i was the
7:17 am
governor of ohio. all those positions, we've seen jobs created and problems. we're not going to sit back and take a pounding from anybody, we're going to tell people what we're for. last night at the close of the voting, you know, it's gotten rave reviews, which i'm grateful for. i'm talking about people together and reviving the spirit of america. >> governor kasich, you gave your resume. it's impressive. you've been in government years. not to take anything away from your strong finish last night, donald trump still beat you by 20 something points.re it seems like voters don't want the establishment. they might feel you represent that. >> he had 65% that didr him. it's just that there are so many people that when you take the votes, you don't have them together, he gets that kind of awe're going to see how it goes, savannah.
7:18 am
no one thought i'd raise the money when i decided to. i'd make the debates or get to new hampshire. as some people have said, in fact, my two daughters said, daddy, we win y we're not so sure mr. trump will last. but we'll see what happens. we'll see what happens. it's a long, long road, all the way to the some point, we're going to be going to the midwest. we're going to be going to pennsylvania and ohio and michigan and illinois. just wait.ght. ohio governor john kasich, appreciate it. >> thank you. thank you very much. let's bring chuck todd back in. chuck, on to the republicans we know who had the best night, donald trump. john kasich had a good night, as well. who had the worst night? >> i think -- i guess you have to say chris chri for the kill on marco rubio. it didn't help him. it certainly hurt rubio. marco rubio arguably had equally as bad of a night.
7:19 am
to qualify for saturday's debate, as far as the criteria. he probably has to reassess his that's why he's in new jersey this morning and not south carolina. marco rubio is also on the ropes. south carolina, matt, is going to be a blood bath. we have about ten days. jeb bush, trump,ohn kasich, marco rubio. it could be a circular firing squad. who goes afteren you asked donald trump who his chief rival is now, i'd say ted cruz. he won one. as things go south, he should have a natural constituency out i think you'll see cruz and trump fight it out. bush, kasich and rubio fight to see who can be the last remaining establishment >> chuck todd, thank you very have ary ricola on the way to you. let's get a check of the weather from mr. roker.
7:20 am

7:28 am
happened saturday night with en you see the margins, very close, that's enough in a race like this. mything they needed to do. we finished shorter than we wanted because of me. it's something that won't ever happen again. we have eight campaign so far. i've done great in all of it except 90 seconds worth of it. i won't ever happen again. this election is too important. about winning the election but what is at stake here. you won't see anyone work harder or more passionately, not just to win an election but turn thearound. >> you say it will never happen again. you feel it was a bad performance. a lot of political analysts ares something more serious. it was exposing a flaw in you as a candidate, and they translate it to a lack of >> it's absurd. no one in this race, for example, has shown greater depth, knowledge, understanding
7:29 am
foreign policy issues than the fact of the matter is, that debate was 2 hours and 15 minutes long. i got asked a host of questions d i answered every single question with as much or more depth than anyone else in the race. i'm not worried about that part. i think both our record on the are clear and, moving forward, we'll make it clear. there is not an issue before this country that i cannot discuss in depth with anyone in when it comes to foreign policy and national security, i have more experience and have done more work than all the other res s remaining >> you are somebody to spouts off talking points, as someone said. or you're a mile wide but an >> i'm on the air with you now and you can ask me any question you want on any policy issue you'd like and we can discuss it in depth.ou're going to ask me.
7:30 am
i don't think that's the narrative that's taking hold. i think the narrative was, he had a bad debate and people heard about it on the it really hurts is you can't get any other message out. all they want to ask you about is the debate that night. it's on me and it won't happen to get back to the fundamentals of what made us successful in the past. we're going to getou saw the results last night, the margin of victory for donald trump and john kasich had a good night. do you think anyone can stop donald trump from getting theight now? >> sure. donald trump is not going to be the republican nominee. new hampshire is a state that has been badly hurt by, for example, losing jobs to china, of mills, loss of our manufacturing base. donald has tapped into that and it's an important topic that needs to be discussed, without a doubt. to be president, you can't tell people what's wrong. you have to tell people how you're going to fix it. we had a conversation i mean, where are the policy
7:31 am
bring manufacturing back? it's not enough to say you're going to do it. voters deserve to know how you're going to do it.'re going to continue to run a campaign into south carolina and beyond without specifically outlining policy ideas on thesehink that's where the issue of depth that you just asked about comes into play. i can tell you we have a plan. i know how we're going tocturing back. we need energy reform and tax reform. our tax doed code is expense ive in the industrialized world. we're at a competitive disadvantage globally. of the campaign where the race is narrower, less people in the race, and there is going to be a focus on policy. we'll see how people hold up.tep up and outline their solutions to these serious problems. >> marco rubio, thank you for your time. >> thank you. let's get a weather now from al. >> announcer: today's weather is

8:44 am
under performed in iowa.cial gop front runner party. here's what he said. >> we have to thank the candidates because they really ve some talented people. to be victorious against some of these people, even if it's for one week, but i believe weeks, okay? but they really are terrific. you. we love you. we're going to be back a lot. we're not going to forget you. you started it., you started it. >> donald trump wins. john kasich is interesting. a lot of people happens to second place? is it one of the four or five guys? john kasich emerged. does he have the message, the power, resourcesmpete? marco rubio is another guy people were looking at. obviously, the debate performance where chris christie tore him apart was >> he could not recover from that.
8:45 am
referred to, 20-second memorized speech. going back to kasich, i was at his headquarters last night willie and i were talking. the message john kasich is presenting is polar opposite to what we're hearing from donald trump. the tell it like it is.egative as he needs to in the trump arena. john kasich is saying, negativecs is old school. it's what he said last night. a lot of his supporters, they broke out into cheers on this second place. it means, of course, fight another day in south carolina. >> of all the fights we've seen on the republican side, we haven't really seen trump and kasich go at it. i interviewed trump this morning and asked him about johnstarted to see the early signs. he said, well, he got lucky. the state of ohio, they've done well, struck oil there. how do i go after this guy who came in second? chris christie, governor of new jersey, finished a disappointing invested so much in the state.

8:47 am
here's a little of what he said. >> the message that we'll echo from wall street to washington, from maine to cali [ applause ] and that is that the government of our great country belongsl of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaignbutors and their super pacs. >> so bernie sanders winning by 22 points. i think a lot of people -- we talked to expertsyesterday -- yeah, he's up 20 points in the polls but there's no way it'll be that way on election night. it was. it was 22 points. he won by 11 pointsomen.
