that's what hillary clinton is hoping for this time around. savannah? >> andrea, a lot of candidates hoping for that this morning. as we mentioned earlier, heading into today, marco rubio has been at the center of the discussion in the republican race. lester holt caught up with him on the trail yesterday. go morning. >> great to see you. rubio came under fire during saturday's debate, with opponents like governor chris christie taking aim for rubio's repeated use of the exact same attack lines against president obama. rubio defended his comments, as we tked over a cup of coffee at a local diner. >> let's dispel the fiction, that barack obama doesn't know what he's doing. >> you repeated the same thing four times. >> i'll say it again. barack obaba is trying to change america and is doing damage to the country. >> by repeating it, it played to the notion that you are a bit contrived, rehearsed. >> that's silly. understand, people when they're

whatever they need to say. >> called marco robot. a headline that said, you choked, it didn't bother you? >> it can't affect you. on our website, we raised more money on the first hour of that debate than all the other debates. >> chris christie said, let's not make the mistake we made eight years ago, of electing a first-term senator. you and president obama. what do you and president obama have in common, in terms of what you represent? >> i have different experiences than he had. i served in the third largest state in the country for four years. we had real achievements in florida. in the senate, i had achievements. >> is your youth an advantage or disadvantage? >> i embraceit. it's who i am. i haven't lived as long as some people running for president but i've done more than most of them. >> your third place showing in iowa, strong third place, has put a lot of expectations on you, in terms of going forward here. what does that mean in terer of what happens in new hampshire?

election. i think it'dde a mistake to judge this election by any of the metrics of past elections. we've never had six or seven well-funded, credible candidates running for president on the republican side at the same time. i think the nomination is going to take a little longer and be a different process than in the past. we're going t t do well here. >> but he is looking ait past the primaries. rubio says he would beat the democratic nominee, whether it be bernie sanders or hillary clinton. savannah, he is owning the repetition of the attack lines against president obama. >> ster, thanks so much. i know you'll have more on the latest twists and turns on "nightly" tonight from new hampshire. let's bring in chuck todd and mark, manager of "bloomberg politics." first, donald trump repeated a vulgar term used by a supporter at a rally last night.

>> any other candidateho did that, the staff would say, we can lose the primary over this. trump and his team loved it. the crowd loved it. this symbolizes the trump campaign. different and not politically correct. >> donald trump said something offensive to somebody. >> for him, it doesn't impact anything. >> let's talk about the race. i won't move to who places second right away. let's not miss who may place first. donald trump. if i told you that six month ago, what would you have said? >> the combination of trump and sanders. we talk about the upsets in the history of the new hampshire primary. when the country is aangry, the first place to tell u is new hampshire. they'll hand us donald trump and bernie sanders. the establishment of both parties are frightened of. the more they express their fear, the more some voters want to rally around them. this i i a huge, symbolic message

>> the people of the establishment say, they can win new hampshire but they'll never win the nominee. they've been underestimated the whole cycle. assume they win big tonight, they'll speak to the e ggest autd audiences they ever have in the context of becoming the presidential candidate. whoever is second, third and fourth for republican, hillary clinton has to make a case, here's why the other states shouldn't follow suit. >> for anyone hoping new hampshire w wld provide clarity as to the trump alternative in the race, no longer going to happen. is it all because of what happened on saturday night with marco rubio and the debate? >> it is all because othat. rubio doing the face plant at the debate, it wa an opportunity. he had the opportunity to seize the nomination. he had an opportuty -- there were people ready to rally around his campaign. you would have seen a flood of endorsements. a flood of money. a flood of -- and probably a whittling of the field.

think, hey, rubio has a glass jaw. >> they all say they're going to south carolina. every last one. >> they have no reason not to. saturday night, another debate. if you're chris christie or you're marco rubio, whyhy not go? get on the debate stage and try again. marco rubio wt from having, as chuck said, the nomination, or at least the establishment wing part of the nomination in his hands, to now potentially having his nomination in mortal danger. he could finish second tonight and turn it around again. clinton. she expects to lose here. the only issue for everyone, it seems, is by how much. what will these next days be like for her if she does, in fact, lose here? >> if the polls are right, and it's double digits, it is going to be stories about joe biden, michael bloomberg. bernie sandede is already outraising her and will with more money. nevada will suddenly look like it's in play. the national polls will show

this is going to be the most painful three weeks before the uth carolina primary for her since she's had in february 2008. >> thank you so much. wewel have more from here in new hampshire coming up, including live interviews with jeb bush and chris christie. for now, matt, up to you in new york. >> we'll be back with you in a couple minutes. we want to turn to the fight against the zika virus. the obama administration now asking congress for $1.8 billion in emergency funding. health experts are once again warning americans considering trips to latin america and the caribbeans. tom costello is covering this outbreak for us. >> we have 51 cases of zika in the united states according to the cdc. people who returned to the country, they've contracted zika abroad. we know of 16 in florida alone. while we don't yet have any known cases of mosquito transmitted zika in the u.s., thousands of amerins travel south of the u.s. border every day. >> reporter: with spring break

to make the m mds seamsterem em stereotypical. >> it is. it's a huge challenge, and one i felt pressure to create an authentic character. so many people do suffer, and i wanted to bring a realistic portrayal to the role. >> you can't just read about something like that. have you had people close to you,u, family, friends, who have had this condition? >> you know, i have not had many experiences, no, with knowing people with this. but when i met with paul, our director, he told@ me this was his story. and shed more light on what he's gone through and why we were making this movie. and how important it was to him. you know, this movie, the cast, the crew, everybody was insnired by him, that there was this energy on set t create something very authentic and very real. >> it asks some really big questions.

the brilliant and creative people throughout history. like hemingway and van gogh, elliott and f. scott figerald, who suffered from bipolar disorder. it asks, was it a curse for them or the source of their brilliance? i thought it was fascinating. >> i thought it was fascinating, as well. paul, our director, you know, he talked about how it was soard for him when he was diagnosed to suddenly go from being a person to then being just an illness. he found such comfort in these great artists who also had this. so it does raise that question. however, he isvery, you know -- treatment. >> it also asks the question, is it beneficial to treat these >> right. >> you and i both remember a heated discussion i got into on that subject here in this studio. how do you think the movie comes down on that?

viewer? >> i think that what i thi our director did a wonderful job with is this movie kind of just shows, this is it. these are the two characters in a love story, which he's saying is kind of its own mania, to fall in loveve really, he puts the question out there for the audience toake that decision. >> they can live their lives when they're on the medication, but they don't feel like they are living full lives. >> right. >> on the medication. >> right. >> it's a delicate balance. >> right. >> i was reading a magazine article about you last night, and it talks about you living theltimate second act right now. is that how you feel? >> i think that was, you know, what the lovely interviewer kind of gathered on her own. i feel very lucky that i've had wonderful, creative experiences recently. doing this movie was, as an actor, really lerating because

the freedom to find these characters every day and to improvise. you know, it s challenging because there were the highs and the lows of these performances. really trying to get it right. he allowed us to play. you don't often get that, especially with a small movie on a budget. but we had time. >> as i mentioned, it's intense. it "touched with fire." katie, thanks. >> thank you, matt. >> good to have you. it opens in new york and los angeles on friday and nationwide on february 9th. just ahead, a recipe guaranteed to spice up your valentine's day celebration.

ted kroousz,cruz and marco rubio, 13%. jeb bush and john kasich, 10%. there's a bunch of peop who come in second. >> donald trump's quote, no one remembers second place. it won't hold true. the second place is a headline coming out on the gop and democratic side. bernie sanders has a significant lead. 56% over hillary clinton's 40%. she closed the gap slightly. predictions are right now that bernie sanders likely will pull out a victory here. in the democratic race, you have the talk of hillary clinton. how does she recover? is south carolina her fire wall? who comes in second? a three-way tie in the gop. that would be a long night, number one. number tt, you'd have to see who can take their ground game to the next step and whether or not they'll eventually take on trump. >> if you get the pack of second place among republicans, i don't

unless they run out of money. a lot of people can make the case to move on. last night, donald trump across the streett the hockey arena. 5,000 people were there. what's getting attention is what he repeated from a woman in the crowd right in front of him. he amplified it and repeated it. talking about ted cruz. thing. you know what she said? shout it out because i donon want to -- okay. you're not allowed to say, and i never expect to hear that from you again. she said, i never expect to hear that from you again. she said, he's a [ bleep ]. that's terrible. terrible. >> even by donald trump andards, that was a word we had not seen him use in public that way before. >> has a presidential candidate ever used that? >> i'm going to say no. meanwhile, bill and hinllary

the former president introducing secretary clinton with maybe a little too much honesty. >> somimes when i'm on a stage like this, i wish we weren't married. then i could say what i really think. and i don't mean that in a negative way. >> that was interesting, also, to see bill clinton on the campaign trail with his wife. this is the second day -- yesterday was the second day in a row that bill clinton was the big dog as he's referred to in the world of politics, going after bernie sanders in this very aggressive way. you heard him there say, i'm hope holding back, really, because i want to say some other things. among the things he did actually say, the bernie sanders campaign is being sexist and accused the campaign of being hypocrites regarding the ideas sanders posed. willie and i have been out on the streets talking to different people in new hampshire. the live free or die motto is

undeclared. between 4% to 5% of the people, indendent. if you want to get a person from new hampshire riled up, say what is undeclared? no one owns me. you won't know my vote until i walk in and cast the vote. today, they'll decide. >> there's a famous line new hampshire voters use. i've got my top three. i won't telel you who it is yet. today, the top three becomes the top one for most people. there's already been voting. returns are in from three small new hampshire towns. tpey y t things going at midnight. trump, kasich and cruz are tied with nine votes. >> nine votes. >> senator sanders leading secretary clinton, 16-7. this is a cool place to come witness democracy. you go to the little halls or big rallies like donald trump had, and see voters listen to the answers and make their decision today. we've been leading up to iowa and new hampshire for more than a year.
