he's putting the pressuren cruz out yesterday and today telling everyone he can this is a must-win state for ted cruz. robin and george. >> let's go to cecilia right now. covering the democrats from the start. she's in des moines right now. se is sill ya, the clinton family out in force all weekend long. and they'rplanning what they call a victory party tonht. >> reporter: they are. this is the invitation. that shows a confidence heading into today. hillary clinton packing in the crowds. i'm telling you, i have never seen her on this campaign trail over the last couple of days sounding more confident and more energized. take a look at this. just last night, 2600 peop paing into a high school gym for her, a raucous crowd but her campaign is telling me privately, they're approaching today with caution, this race that seemed to be hers for her lose. bernie sanders overnight telling his crowds he's in it for the long haul. bernie sanders wants to stay

the convention. this summer. >> all right, cecilia, thank you very much. let's talk to hillary clinton, good enough to join us on a very important and busy day. thank you so much for doing this. do you have the victory party all set for tonight? >> well, this is a very tigh race, robin. it's really going down to the wire. but we feel very good. we worked so hard. i had a great operation here. so m many younpeople organizers who fanned out across the state. the thousands of volunteers, we did knock on 125,000 doors this past weekend. so, we're very committed, very energized, very enthusiastic. it all depends on who shows up tonight. who comes out to caucus in iowa. i'm urging anyone who interested in caucusing for me, please be

i'll be there in spirit. because if you stand up for me, i will stand up for you during this campaign and into the white house. >> there are so many similalarities bween what's going on right now and eight years ago, you, again, are unexpected challenge that you are facing, what arehe differences and similarities between what you're experiencing now and what happened eight years ago here in iowa? >> well, i think that i have much better organization to be just really clear about it. i think that we built an organization, using a lot of the lessons learned and we recruited some of the best people that you could find, anywhere in the country, wking in democratic politics, i think i'm a better candidate. i think that, in addition to just knowing more about the caucus processss and whawe needed to do to build toward

secretary of state, really deepened and intensified my understanding about what the next president will have to face. so, all and all, i feel like it's a different, energized effort that is really bringing in people from across the state and indeed across the country whknows what's at stake in this election, understanhow really dramatic d drastic it would be if the republicans were to take back the white house, they would rip out the progress. we wouldn't be able get the economy going for everybody, get income rising, get affordable college, everything i'm talking about, which is really in response to t the conces and the worries that i hear from people as i crisscross this state. >> all 99 counties you have crisscrossed and we have seen you and your husband and we have

>> i haven't gotten all 99. i don't want anybody to think my silence is affirmation, but i covered a lot of ground and i have met many thousands of people. and really have learned so much. that's the best part of this. it's obviously exhausting, it takes a lot of concentration, but what keeps me going are the stories they tell me. it's something so intimidate, at least in my experience. i try to listen to people and hear what's on their minds. when people tell you about the open heart surgery their granddaughter had and they couldn't afford it without affordable health care. or when a young woman as she's drowning in stude debt and needs a way out. it sticks with me. the months i spent here listening to iowans has really made a better candidate and i think it will make me a better president. >> well speaking of listening to iowans, we have jon karl, he's out and about.

a third of voters here are undecided and let's hear what one votehas to ask you, jon. >> reporter: hello, robin. hello, secretary clinton. we're with rob from denison. you're u undecidedetween hillary clinton and john kasich. what is your question. >> good morning, secretary clinton. as a liberal republican seems to be a dying breed, are you going to work bipartisanly with a partisan congress. >> that's a really good question. thanks for asking it because i get asked that a lot. i have a record of working with republicans, when i'm actually in a position to do so when, you know, there's a campaign it's a little bit different. when i was first lady, i worked to achieve the children's healthth inrance program, working across the aisle with both democrats and republicans. even reformed our foster care

partisan republican in the house. in the senate, i worked hard to get health care for the national guard and reserves. i worked with senator lindsey graham in that case, i don't knowow if therwas a single republican who didn't co-sponsor one of the bills that i worked on. as secretary of state, i had milar efforts to reaeach commo ground to prove successful. i know in a campaign the distinctions have to be drawn. because we have to givvoters a real sense of what each of us wants to do and to hold us accountable for the agenda we put forth. but m confident that i'm going to work really hard to find that common ground across the aisle and we will make progress together. >> secretary clinton, thank you very much. we appreciate you joining us on this very busy and important day. thank you. >> thanks so much. great to talk to you. >> you as always. >> hillary clinton on top of the democrats right now. donald trump on top for the

he joins us now by phone. good morning, mr. trump. good to have you again with us this morning. you know, you have never actually faced voters before, are you nervous? >> well, you have to be a little bit nervous. you know i like to win. i want to win for the country. not for myself. this is actually my first election night. i've gone through many election nights but always for someone else, george.. this is a little bit different for me. >> i'm sure it is. what worries you most? >> well, just hope everybody is going to be able to get out and vote. skirting the weather the weather will be okay. it won't start snowing until everything is over. we just made it. that was a biggie. i hope everybody gets out and votes. we have had the biggest crowds of anybody, including sanders who's second. i will say that. we have the most enthusiasm.

i believe they're going to go out and vote. the theme is, make america great again. this is the chance. i'm self-funding my campaign. i'm the only one doing that,t, george. i'm putting up my money. nobodydy else isoing that. i think that's a big difference. lot of people like that. t there's great enthusiasm in those rooms and all over the state and all over every state. you know, when you look at new hampshire, you saw the polls where there'e's i guesa 25-point lead. in iowa, i think we're going to do really well and we're going to find out soon. >> your staying power has surprid so many people so far, i was wondering what your response is to chris christie e

himself down over time. i think we mht have lost mr. trump. >> yes, i ha you. did you get that? >> i hear your fine. >> what is your response to chris christie who said you're ing to take yourself down over time. well, people said i wasn't gog to run. then, they said, if i ran, he would have fun and leave. now i'm in first place. chris took his down with the bridg new jersey is the 50th worse state. meaning it's the last. he shouldn't be talking like that. i'm surprised he would talk like that. because i know him. i guess he used to be a friend until this all happened. no, i think it's been just the e opposite. i would be very surprised. he's got enough problems and he's doing very poorly in the polls. i'm surprised that he would have said that. my life has been a life of success, it's been a life of nning, it's been a life of making great deals. it's been a life -- i have

many didifferent ys. for somebody to say that, obviously, isn't doing really well right now is pretty unual, ihink. you'll be facing the voters for the first time tonight. we'll be talking to your sons in the next half-hour. thank you for joining us this morning. we'll be talking to you later as well. >> thank you very much. donna brazile. and matthew dowd and when we see what's going on here, it's like an electric-type atmosphere. and it's something that we haven't witnessed in quite some time -- such uncertainty. >> it's fascinating. the campaigns. they're friends and family. donald trump talked about it. the voters are now in charge as of today. and it brings tremendous anxiety because everything you thought was going to happen may not happen. we'll look at tonight i think and we're going to be surprised in the course of this. there's an expectation there

happens on the rublican or the democratic side. right now the voterhave taken control. both sides, donald trump on the bernie sanders on the democratic side. power up against the organizations of hillary clinton and ted cruz. >> the bighallenge tonight, george is to take all of that passion the campaign trail and translate the good thing about the hawkeye state, voters can turn up night and register to vote. this is a same-day registration. it brings a lot of uncertainty to the race and it may be an advantage to mr. trump and mr. sanders. let's go to rob for the weather. >> hey, george, we're watching this massive storm traverse its way across the country. it wilill impact wa but not until midnight tonight.

"your voice, your vote." the iowa cauaucuses. and we wish you a good morning, america, from the hawkeye state. we're live in iowa. you see jon karl there at the diner in urbandale. voters getting ready to make their big decisions tonight. also right now, senator marco rubio is standing by live here in our green room right now. wel talk to him in just a few nutes.

little breakfast. one of the rules on the campaign trail. >> is that really our green room we got to up our game. that's pretty bad. >> we had good food. he decided to take advantage of that. how about the bush volunteers? they're hard at work this morning, getting out the vote for their candidate jeb bush. we're going to be following this all morning long. but back to amy in times square. >> that's right, we're hard at work. we do have a very big headline we have had some interesting conversation. >> reporter: well, those aren't for sharing. >> we do have a very big headline overnight, about vanessa hudgens. >> the actress with a jaw-dropping performance last night. in "grease live." just hours after her father passed away. a battle she shared with her we'll tell you how they rallied around the star when she need it the most. but right now, back to iowa and george. >> thank you, guys. let's go back to jon karl, surrounded by those voters out

hey, john. >> reporter: hey, george, we got supporters here at the machine shed restaurant of all the candidates. what blows me away about this crowd here is how many still are undecided. so, in this room, how many still haven't made up your minds? look at it. you got people here still hours away that still haven't madede up their minds. george, what we love about this race, it's still too close to call on both sides. after weeks of pounding the pavement, more than 1500 rallies and over 60,000 television ads, costing $33 million combined, it's finly caucus day in iowa. this morning, hillary clinton telling robin -- >> i tnk that the months i iowans has really made me a better candidate and i think it will makme a better president. >> reporter: and it's a a tight race for the front-runners. donald trump speaking with george earlier.

country, not for myself. >> reporter: overnight, we caught up p with theed cruz. are you going to win? >> listen, that's up to the people of iowa. >> reporter:onald trump and hillary clinton makingg the final pushes for both a family affair. >> everything she ever touched she made better. >> he will be unbelievable. >> reporter: ivanka trump giving tutorials on how to caucus. >> it's a secret ballot and you just write down the name trump. and you are done. >> it sounds like you want to make a political revolution. >> reporter: bernie sanders has an army of his own, 15,000 supporters on the streets and knocking on the doors. more than 76,000 touched this weekend alone. the clinton campaign said it's knocked on more than 125,000. senator marco rubio is casting senator ted cruz as the front-runner. >> reporter: all that's left is getting their supporters to the caucuses. >> i don't care if you're feelinhorrly, a 104

>> reporter: so, now, the big question is, how many of these people actually get out to caucus? so, let's do a quick surve here -- how many of you are going tonight at 7:00? [ cheers and applause ] >> and george, as you know, that's the name of the game right now. bernie sanders said that he wants his people to beg, borrow, or if necessary, kidnap, to get people to go to the caucus tonight. so, we'll see what happens. hopefully no felonies here tonight. >> a little poetic license right there. >> that sounds like him. we'll bring our roundtable back. the candidates went a little longer in the first half. they can talk and talk and talk. we're back with matthew dowd and donna brazile. so close between hillary clinton and bernie sanders, should she lose, what kind of impact would that have on her cpaign? >> well, first of all, you gain a lot of momentum. there are three tickets out of iowa.

candidates. they'll all get to leave the state tonight. momentum is very important. when she lost back eight years ago, she was down 13 points, she made it up in new hampshire. if she loses tonight, then she'll have to rebound like she did in 2008 and hopefully, this time, she'll have a little more momentum going into what i call the big super tuesday states on march 1st. >> matt d dowd, on e other side, ted cruz is now saying that donald trump will be unstoppable if he wins here in iowa. he's way ahead in new hampshire right now. >> no nonincumbent republican has ever won the first two. i think that if donald trump were to pull it out tonight, he'll win overwhelming in new hampshire. he'll win south carolina. it's very difficult to stop. it is not impossible to stop. it will be very difficult to

the other thing is how close if he wins, donald trump, how close is second and third. consolidate a big part of the establishment. >> what have you both learned in the last six months? >> this is an unpredictable year. also a year where the establishment has come under attacks in both political parties. i'excited about the prospects of new people especially tonight. will they show up? will young people make a difference? >> yeah, i think two things -- two things that i have really learned. one, the estabablishments fractured on both sides. we know now that for sure. it's been coming. the other thing, the rules have changed. everyboddid the high jump one way and it's now being done another way. based on this year. >> my sports analogy. you gave it.

>> i went to track and field. >> a better metaphor is boxing this year. we begin with a developing winter storm as many as 15 inches of snow falling in the southwest as that storm moves into the central rockies and plains today. the heaviest snow won't hit iowa until after midnight. in southn california heavy rains flooded highways. well, the justice department will now investigate san francisco's police department after the shooting death of a man which has inflamed racial tensions there. police responding to a report of a stabbingng back inecember, saying woods refused to drop the knife he was holding. he was killed in a barrage of police gun fire. well, there are new concerns about the spread of the zika virus as the w.h.o. holds an emergency meeting. the mosquito-based virus has been linked to birth defes. dr. richard besser with that

>> reporter: right now geneva, a very special meeting is taking place at the world health organization, and they're going to determine whether to call the zika epidemic spreading around the globe a public healthth emergency of concern. it's important. in 2014, they were slow to respond to the ebola virus. while they're meeting, the virus continues to spread around the globe. indonesia has reported its first case. colombia has reported more than 2,000 pregnant women infected with the virus. in the united states four pregnant women with zika are being monitored. here in brazil, they're not waiting for the results of that meeting. they're sending soldiers and public health workers door to door looking to wipeut any place the virus can be breeding. sflrt, rich besser with the latest from brazil, thank you. a new study suggesting that a high-fiber diet may help lower the risk for breast cancer. researchers found that teenagers who ate foods high in fiber had a 24% lower risk of developing breast cancer before menopause.

as much fiber as teens. and finally the players have arrivein style for sundaday's super bowl. some more stylish than others. take, for exame, quarterback cam newton, whose $850 versace yellow zebra pants were turning heads. ththey were parently very comfortrtable for that cross-country flight to california. lara, next trip to l.a., what do you think? >> absolutely. just a thought. > anyway, here's what's coming up -- lot more from robin and george, of course, live in iowa. we'll take a closer look at the candidates from their longtime running mates, their spouse's perspective. and then, senator marco rubio and governor chris christie both will be live with us. from right here in times square and in iowa.

abc's linsey davis is here to introduce us to some of us. >> reporter: it made sense to talk to them. forget campaign ads or debate sound bites to get a sense of the ople running for president. we went straight to the e source. people who know their secrets, dreams and what makes them tick. take a look at the candidates through the eyes of their spouses. their lifelong running mates. it's been said you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep. >> clearly smart. also a guy who likes to have fun. >> so impressed with her work ethic, with her tenacity. >> reporter: perhaps the best way to get a sense of who the presidential candidates are. >> he's so compassionatete and lots of fun. and passionate. >> reporter: is to talk to the people who likely know them best -- spouse. or collectively thspice. >> don't worry, you got my vote. that was my first words i spoke to bernie. >> i remember meeting him and him saying he was randy paul. i think it was probably our

calling him rand and he liked it. >> i called my mother and i said, mom, this congressman just asked meut to lunch. she said, oh, my goodness. you don't kn a thing about current affairs. you ne to go get "newsweek" magazine rig away. >> reporter: running mates. the concept for the christies started way backck in studt government. >> i was his running mate and he won and the following year i ran for president and i won. >> reporter: what made you fall inove with chris? > he had eat storie he still has great stories. and he was cute. he was cute. >> reporter: they have seen them at their best. >> the first time when he opererated on baby in e womb that was incredible. >> reporter: and stood by them in their deepest despair. for cay and frank fiorina that meant losing a 34-year-old daughter to drug addiction addiction.

when lori died, it makes everything else in life pale in comparison. >> reporter: people seem to love or hate ted cruz, why do you think he's so polarizing? >> if you're not in there trying to fix the problem, you don't like the problem fixer. >> reporter: for people who just sechris christie, and what to say he's a name-caller he lacks self-control, how would you help people see your husband as more "presidential"? >> the name-calling caught on video sometimes, there was always a purpose to that. >> the people who know carly and i would tellou we fight all the time. i taught her to debate. >> reporter: for those you say, your husband was a phenomenal surgeon but that doesn't prepare

you say to those critics? >> then they haven't looked at what accomplishment really is. we need people who know how to really solve problems. >> he's not a great cocktail party conversationalist. sometimes in politics that ce off as being aloof. it's more just he would much rather sit down and have more one-on-one or substantive conversations. >> reporter: so, while the candides now woo america, their spouses fondly rememember their own courtship and share their partner's greatest asset. >> his steadfastness. >> patience. >> his sincerity. >> her brain and her ethics. >> his optimism. >> his smile. >> his greatest asset. >> me. >> and this is just a small sampling of the interviews we have online, where you'll find an intimate look at seven of their candidates and their spouses. you'll be surprised and moved by

this is so great, linsey. >> a way to getet some insight like you haven't seen of the candidates. >> you really y see the otion. you see how taxing this journey is, not only for the candidates but t for theisignificant others, also. >> to watch the full episodes of our abc news d digital sies, running mates with linsey davis, you can go to our website. goodmorningamerica.c on yaho let's head back now to george in iowa. i'm here with florida nator marco rubio joining us right now. your whole family is here. >> they are. they got here last nht. they'll be with through new hampshire primary. we're excited about having them. >> for the first time you're going to face voters as you run for president tonight, what is the thinon your mind that you want them to know the most in these final seconds? >> well, if they nominate me to be the republican nominee, i'll unite the republican party and the conservative movement and

i believe we'll grow the conservative movement. i know i'll win. i believe hillary clinton and bernie sanders know that i'll win. so, i hope that's why people tonight, when they go to their caucus site, they will consider caucusing for me because we can win. >> you want that last-minute switch? >> sure. someone going to a caucus tonight, t there's aandidate that you have been with, you don't think they're going to make it to the finish line, caucus for me, because we can win not only the primary but the general election. >> tomorrow, y you said,ou can't go in there to make a point you must vote for someone who can win. are you talking about donald trump? >> i'm talking in general that i give the republican party the best chance to win and grow the conservative movement. we have to be united. the republican party has to come together. but that's not enough. we've got to take our message to young americans who are struggling under student loan

who are living paycheck to paycheck. to blue-collar workers who have seenheir jobs disappear and sent overseas. i have lived paycheck to paycheck. three years ago i still had a student loan. i honestly believe thatt i can take our message and convince them that conservatism is the best approach for them. >> jon karl is out with some voters at in urbandale. jon, you have a voter that has a question? >> reporter: we sure do, george. but first, you mind with if we eat our homemade cinnamon roll. >> oh, my goodness. >> send that over here. what are we doing here? >> come on over, senator, come on over. >> reporter: i got jill from johnst, iowa. ththis is thvoter you want right now. she's deciding between marco rubio and ted cruz. >> good morning.

>> i have seen the top four candidates speak and i'm undecided between you and ted cruz. what can you say to me to swing my vote for you tonight? >> well, thank you for having me as one o of your falists. let me say two things, i like ted, he's a friend of mine. we have a big difference when it comes to national security. ted voted for rand paul's budget that brags abobout cutti defense security. when i'm president, we're going to rebui the military. i believe the world is a safer place when america the strongest. here the other, we have to win this election. bernie sanders and hillary clinton, neither one of them can be president, we must n. if i'm our nominee i know we'll win. so do the democrats. i hope you'll take that into account tonight. because this election, if we get it wrong, there may be no turning around for america.

a chance to directly address precisely the voter you're looking for. >> yeah. plus, we're going to give away sweet rolls in our presidency. >> senator, have a good day today. good luck. back to new york. rob's got the weather. >> george, look at how sweet these kids are from virginia beach, virginia. emma celebrating a birthday. how old are you? >> 8. look, some severe weather we want to talk across the midsection of the country. in the deep south, strong winds,

memphis, nashv >> it's mild and springlike out there. lara, back to you. >> thank you so much, rob. "pop news" time. we'll begin with some sad, but heartwarming in the way. the iconic musical "grease" come to life on fox. last night. for one of the stars, it had to be incredibly difficult to perform. vanessa hudgens took the stage just hours passed away from stage 4 cancer less than 24 hours earlier. take a listen. and i don't mind but i can feel and i can cry >> wow, there she's singing "the worst things i could do." itad to be tough. revealing she performed the show in honor of her dad.

social media agreed. she nailed the part. no word on how many millions tuned into the broadcast. but #greaselive was the number one trend on twitter. taylor swift posted this on snapchat. singing along witith the show. the question is, did they do the nd jive? covered in the live show by joe jonas, who dated both of those gals. so impmpressive d so inspirational. >> the performance was so good, still, you think how emotional that must have been for her. >> what a tribute to her dad. vanessa we're all thinking about you, and we'll be right back.

it over the course of time. it's going to continue tonight. the fact is, what i have wanted all along is come out of iowa as the number one governor. i think we'll overperform what the poll's done. but when you look at how much jeb bush has spent in this state and how much time and money we're polling g ahead ofim here on the last day is a good sign of our camampaign. >> there are only three tickets out of iowa, do you think that's wrong this year? >> of course, it's wrong. ere's never been this many candidates who got to the starting line. i don't think that's it. i think iowa and new hampshire will be seen as an exacta. ththey'll beead together. that will help to cull the fieield down. probably four, five when we leave w hampshire next tuesday. >> you said last night donalald ump is going to bring himself down. i asked mr. trump about that

it seemed to hurt his feelings. he said you guguys used be friends. >> we are friends. but we are running against each other. if i'm asked a question about m i'm going to give an honest question. i know donald trump for a long time. his feelings don't get hurt that easily. >> how do you explain though what has been happening all year long, at least in the polls, no one has voted yet, you talked about the governors, you had a lot of expernced governors here in this republican's race, but it's the outsiders that seem to be outpacing you? >> well, first off, george, i'm a little offended calling ted cruz an outsider, he went to princeton, harvard, he worked at the united states supreme court. heorked for the federal government and then had a federal job in texas. hardly an outsider. let's stop calling ted cruz an outsiders. and donald trump --

let's see what happens when people vote. anybody who's been in this business for any perioof time will be fascinated to see what happens. so, let's wait and not draw conclusions based off polling. i rememb back in 2004, everybody was getting ready to crown howard dean the next president of the united states and i don't think that happened, either. >> sounds like you're expecting a surprise tonight? >> not that i'm expecting a surprise but i just don't think, you know, looking at these polls all yearnd the fact hohow obsessed everybody gets about polls, it matters when people actually start to vote. now within 12 hours of people voting, yeah, i'll w wait for e vote before i start reacting. >> governor, good luck today, good luck tonight. we'll see out out on the trail. >> george, look forwrward to seeing you in new hampshire. thanks for being i in iowa t tay. thanks for having me on. >> okay, take care. let's go back to rob in new w yo.
