boyfriends will disappoint them! announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." the democratic presidential race is getting tighter. hillary clinton and bernie sanders found more issues to fight about at last night's debate. this was their last showdown before the nevada caucuses and south carolina primary. >> the candidates reached out to minority voters who are about to play a much larger role in the campaign. nancy cordes is at the university of wisconsin-milwaukee where she covered last night's debate. >> reporter: good morning. everyone was wondering if hillary clinton would retool her message after her big loss in new hampshire and the answer is -- she did! she embraced parts of the sanders' world view and she acknowledged that the economy is rigged in favor of the 1%. but she also went into detail about why she thinks that his very ambitious plans to fix it won't work. >> i am not a single-issue candidate and i do not believe
7:04 am
>> reporter: clinton and sanders clashed over health care, wall street donations, and their loyalty to the president. >> and many people will actually be worse off than they are right now. >> final thought, senator? >> i think that is inkrak accurate -- inact accurate. >> calling the president weak and a disappointment. >> have you ever disagreed with a president? i suspect you may have. one of us ran against barack obama. i was not that candidate. >> reporter: the debate was in wisconsin but the candidates were clearly focused on the next primary in south carolina, where african-americans could decide the outcome. >> so race relations would be better under a sanders presidency than they have been? >> absolutely. because what we will do is say instead of giving tax breaks to billionaires, we are going to create millions of jobs for low income kids so they are not
7:05 am
would be the best heir to the legacy of the nation's first black president. >> the kind of criticism that we have heard from senator sanders about our president, i expect from republicans and i could not expect from someone running for the democratic -- to succeed the president of the united states. >> madam secretary, that was a >> reporter: >> i think once i'm in the white political capital to be able to do that. >> secretary clinton, you're not in the white house yet. >> reporter: that exchange reminded a lot of people of that famous exchange from 2008 when barack obama told hillary clinton she was, quote, likeable enough. clinton was asked last night, gayle, why she lost among women in new hampshire. she said her goal was to empower
7:06 am
even if that choice was to vote for somebody else. >> thank you very much, nancy. the republican candidates will meet tomorrow night in south carolina for a cbs news debate. most of them are already in that key state criticizing each other. and pitching voters who will go to the polls a week from tomorrow. but donald trump was hundreds of miles away last night and he was speaking to about 10,000 fans at a rally in baton rouge, louisiana. julianna goldman is outside of the peace center in greenville, south carolina, the site of sooted saturday's debate. >> reporter: the stakes are high here and republican candidates are certainly upping the ante ahead of tomorrow's gebtdebate. donald trump was in louisiana last night but set his sights squarely on south carolina. >> we have a big one coming up. great place. south carolina. i think we will do very well. >> reporter: from the campaign trail to the airways south carolina is looking like a five-man slug fest. >> don't listen to donald trump. really. don't listen to donald trump.
7:07 am
policy experience, period. >> jeb is spending all of this time being negative. >> how do you think donald trump going to washington will solve anything? not a true conservative. these people are stupid! >> reporter: it's donald trump target. >> i just hope you doobleg then't believe the crap because it's all crap, okay? they are lies! >> reporter: trump taking time to sign a baby at his baton rouge rally struck a softer tone yesterday and criticized an ad pulled by ted cruz. cruz wasn't feeling the love. rolling out this minute-long ad here. >> yes, it's donald trump. it's you and your cronies and government. >> reporter: anti-trump superpac is distributing what they call a voters guide and switching political parties and ask can we trust donald trump to stand strong on key conservative
7:08 am
>> it's bare knuckle politics and been that way a long time. >> reporter: chip is in south carolina where a local paper has set up a website to track underhanded tactics. >> this is for the long haul and if you come out of this primary and you're doing well, you can -- you can handle it on the national stage. that is part of it. it's a testing ground. >> reporter: so far at these debates, jeb bush has been the no aggressive on taking on trump. that is expected to change tomorrow night. charlie, bush is also bringing in reinforcements -- his brother, former president george w. bush will campaign with him on monday. we have inside the peace center, john dickerson, a moderator for tomorrow night's debate and kim strasle will be one of the pannists. >> good morning. >> reporter: let me gib with the republicans and talk about the fights in the gop taking place now in south carolina. cruz versus trump. go ahead. >> well, that's right.
7:09 am
then you've got the battle to be the alternative to cruz and trump. that is at least two fights. and then those who are fighting to be the alternative hope to take on trump or cruz. it's basically three fights and it's ranging all over the place on issues from veterans to values. there is some talk of who has better christian values and then, of course, there is the competency question, who has the experience, who has been tested and who can handle the presidency once they get there. >> we keep hearing that george bush is hitting the road for his brother. is that an asset or liability for him, do you think, in south carolina? >> well, south carolina is a place george w. bush came back and in 2000 against john mccain and a lot of history here and a bit of organization here. also the veterans here. there is a connection between him as a war-time leader. and also just the good feeling about the bush family. for the kind of voters that jeb bush is trying to turn out, it's a good thing. he was even bragging he's a member of the establishment because of his brother and his father. not something any candidate is
7:10 am
>> what impact has the previous debate and the new hampshire results had on the numbers in south carolina? >> right now, trump looks like he is still way up and way ahead. it's a little -- still a little early for that impact to be fully known. but at least in one survey i looked at this morning, and you know how these things are quite volatile, he is still way up. >> kim, what are you looking for? >> well, i think down here, this is going to be a very different race than it has been in iowa or new hampshire, because south carolina is just a little bit more of a varied state. so there is a lot of talk down here because it's a manufacturing state about jobs and the economy to a degree. you probably don't have in iowa or new hampshire. i think as john referenced, there is a big veteran and active duty military presence here. so foreign policy is going to play a big role, a bigger role than it has in the past. but, also, those values voters in the evangelical community, we are back in a place after new hampshire where that is, again,
7:11 am
the candidates going at it. but this debate will be slightly different than what we have had up in this now. >> these are post-debate questions. post-debate from new hampshire and post-results from new hampshire. what about marco rubio? has he been slowed down significantly? >> i think he is certainly been slowed down and he knows it. he admitted it. he is going to have to come down and look as though he is nimble on his feet. be able to ask -- answer questions and not sound formlaic. he has come out more aggressive down here and hitting at his competitors more harder, particularly trump. i think you're seeing all of these guys had held back their fire on trump and gone after emp each other a lot but now training their guns on the top guy and he has a lot of incoming. >> thank you, john dickerson and kim strassel. good to see you. >> thanks, gayle. john dickerson and major

of this agreement. syrian civilians are, once again, paying with their blood, as the regime claws back territory from rebel fighters. supported by russian air power. russian air strikes, which only started in september, seem to have tipped the balance in syria's five-year-long civil war giving the regime the upper hand. this week, regime forces launched an assault on the town of tall rifat which had been a stronghold for the rebels, some of them armed by the u.s. we met abdul balul who runs a school in telerefat. the shelling and air strikes are random, he told us. homes are destroyed and children's bodies lie in shreds

7:15 am
incidences isil has used battlefield. >> reporter: artillery shells? >> sure. >> reporter: isis has access to chemical artillery shells? >> there are reports that isis has access to chemical precursors am nirks that they can use. >> reporter: the cia believes that isis has the ability to manufacture small quantities of chlorine and mustard gas. and the capability of exporting those chemicals to the west? >> i think there is always a potential for that and why it's so important to cut off the various transportation routes and smuggling routes that they have used. >> reporter: are there american assets on the ground right now hunting this down? >> the u.s. intelligence is actively involved and being a part of the effort to destroy isil and get as much insight into what they have on the ground inside of syria and iraq. >> more of scott's interview sunday on "60 minutes."
