[ applause ] >> reporter: in a rousing speech that lasted nearly 30 minutes, sanders flexed hismuscles, painting the win as a validation of his call to take on wall street and big business. >> together, we have sent the message that we'll echo from

maine to california. >> reporter: and while secretary clinton's campaign may have been bruised, she tried not to show it. striking a note of confidence tuesday night. >> not whether you get knocked down that matttts. it's whether you get back up. >> reporter: but sourcrc close to the campaign tell nbc news top aids are taking stock of the strategy, including a sharper focus on wall street, a message that's rallied young voters around sanders. >> we also agree that wall street can never be allowed to once again threaten main street. i will fight to reign in wall street. you know what? i know how to do it. >> reporter: in a memo, clinton's campaign manager tried to calm jittery supporters. writing, the nomination will likely be won in march, not february, pointing to clinton's strength in super tuesday states, which are larger and more diverse, playing to her appeal among minority communities.

the barriers of bigotry. african-american parents shouldn't have to worry that their children will be harassed, humiliated, even shot because of the color of their skin. >> reporter: while the campaign is trying to down play the loss, noting sanders is from neighboring vermont, the too. new hampshire is where president bill clinton famously called himsmsf the comeback kid, and where secretary clinton beat >> thank you. >> reporter: but now, it's the the map. >> thank you, new hampshire! now, it's on to nevada, south carolina and beyond. [ applause ] >> sources close to the campaign say both hillary and bill clinton expressed concerns about the campaign. now, they're bringing on a new strategist, one of the top officials from president obama's re-election campaign. expect more outreach to the

then that race takes the one in south carolina to a poi it won't be so easy for her. now, she has to deal with outside forces she can't control. rumors about michael bloomberg, the former new york city mayor getting in. rumors about joe biden. this is going to be a very difficult three weeks. if the campaign panics at any point, maybe overcorrects, it could be in even worse shape in a month from now. >> rest your voice for a second. we want you to comment on the republican side of things. donald trump toppedhe latest polls last night. 75 polls heading into the new hampshire primary. voters turned out for him in force on tuesday. nbc national correspondent peter alexander is already in the next battleground state, south carolina. >> good morning. south carorona, where the next primary is ten days away. donald trump likes to boast he's a winner and he proved it in a

more than doublg his closest competitor, john kasich. this is a candidate who has re-defined republican politics and ran away with new hampshe. tell me it's a revolution >> reporter: donald trump, triumphant triumphant. >> we are going to make america great again. >> reporter: the brara billionaire turned politician, racking up his first win. >> we want to thank the people of new hampshire. right? do we lovee the people of new hampshire! >> reporter: extending an olive branch of sorts to his republican rivals. >> i wanted to congratulate the other candidates, okay? now that i got that out of the way -- >> reporter: taking aim at the democrat who carried new hampshire. >> i heard parts of bernie's speech. he wants to give away our country, folks. we're not going to let it happen. >> reporter: winning the war for second, ohio governor john

resonated in an otherwise nasty primary. >> the light overcame the darkness of negative campaign. [ applause ] and you made it happen. >> reporter: earlier, he was reflective with nbc news. >> we pgged away and plugged away. the little engine that can. >> reporter: a week removed from an iowa celebration, marco rubio fell into fifth place, acknowledging in blunt terms that his poor debate performance cost him. >> our disappointment tonight is not on you. it's on me. it's on me. i did not -- i did not do well on saturday night, so listen to this, that will never happen again. >> reporter: jeb bush, sandched in the middle of the pack. >> this campaign is not dead. we're going on to south carolina. >> reporter: bush aids telling nbc news, they'y' rising as rubio fades. ted cruz is looking for the first in the south primary next week. >> we go to south carolina, the

washington liberals may find south carolina far less hospitable hospitable. >> reporter: cruzpreleasing a new ad, mocking the republican front runner. >> i got the trump action figure. >> no way, it's huge. >> what does he do? >> he pretends to be a republican. >> reporter: trump firing back. >> ted cruz, the worst k kd of washington insider who just can't be trusted. >> reporter: meanwhile, chris christie lagging behind in single digits. >> just not enough. not enough tonight, that's okay. >> reporter: instead of a planned trip to south carolina today, the new jersey governor will head home, where he'll decide the future of his campaign. >> a tough night for chris christie and for carly fiorina and ben carson, as well. i flew down with john kasich from new hampshire overnight. he was clearly elated, even a little bit stunned by last night's results. as he told me, i think we're really on to something, with the

matt and savannah? >> peter alexande thank you very much. donald trump joins us fresh off the win i new hampshire. good morning. good to have you here. >> good morning. >> known you more than 30 years. you've always said you're a winner. last night, voters went into the lls and officially made you a winner. how does it feel? >> it's great. the people from new hampshire are great. i've had bonding relationship with them a long time. i've been up thexe long before the political thing. we did better than anticipated. we would have rallies where ten times the number 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 kasich. you've said you are sure you can beat hillary clinton or bernie sanders. are you thehe favorite to be the next president of the united states? >> that, i don't know. i don't want to talk about favorites. i think we're doing very wewl. we have something special.

carolina and weilled up the stadium. it was packed with people. it's a movement. people want to see a smart country. they want to see usake the country back. they want great deals, not horrible deals. we lose money with trade. we can't win with the mililiry. we can't beetat isis. think of general george patton not being able to beat isis. it doesn't work that way. this country doesn't win anymore. >> new hampshire reordered things. who is your biggest competition now, is it kasich? cruz in south carolina? >> great question. i think all of them. they're all accomplished people. ey're governors and senators. they're all very good people. maybe, you know. but i think, probably, 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 to take a good, hard look at you and say, can he be the leader of the free world?

>> they've been looking at me, matt, six months. >> now this new hampshire win says, 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 president. they want them to be able to admire the president. you were on wh us last week and we talked about being more subdued. you said, i'm trying to become more statesmanlike, more subdued. this week, you continued using some words, repeating a word that a supporter said to you at an event that i'm not going to repeat here. is t tt satstatesmanlike? >> we had 5,000 people in a snowstorm, in a blizzard, and everybody was having a good time. a woman, not a man, shouted out this word, and then shouted it out again. >> she didn't have to repeat t. >> we had a good time and it wasn't the worst thing in the world. >> you're a presidential candidate and we have to bleep it, is that what you want to show? >> we were having a tremendous time, got a standing ovation.

standing, screaming. it's one of the reasons i won. you have to be yourself. now, as i get -- look, i was a good student a 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 differently. we were having a good time. the p pple went out and voted for me and that's why we got the numbers we did. look, this country, political correctness is killing us. >> is it political correctness or good manners, temperament? >> it wasn't the worst thing in the world. it was a woman and it was a 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 release your tax returns? >> they're being worked on now.

>> i guarantee the biggest ever doing. 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 toay a lot of tax. every politician probably does. i watched others wherehey say, i want to pay taxes. i fight like he not to pay taxes. i hate the way the government spends my money. >> big winner in new hampshire, donald trump, thank you for@ being here. >> thank you very much. now to the surprise second place finisher on the republican side. ohio governor john kasich. he made his way to south carolina over night and will look to capitalize there on this momentum. governor, good morning and congratulations. >> thank you. we're very happy. >> i s you on your bus in new hampshire, and you definitely were 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 candidates? >> no, i don't think it was the faltering.

we do have great grassroots people, which we'll be able to use throughout the 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 message. i always felt that will light could overcome the darkness in a political campaign where we could say what we're for. bringing families together, creating jobs, making sure no one gets left behind. that message was used consistently for the last -- well, i've been doing it most of my lifetime -- but a very strong message about all of that. i think, finally, it broke through, along with the fact that our tv commercials were positive. i had so many millions of dollars spent against me. we overcame it. >> i'm gladou said the light can overcome the darkness and your positive message resonated with voters. you're behind a guy who is way ahead in the polls and has a

close to him, talking about donald trump, targeting that person with negativity. can your positive message hold up under that withering attack that has claimed other candidates? >> well, matt, here'she thing, somebody wants to mess with me, they're messingith the wrong guy. i'm not going to sit there and be a marshmallow and have somebody pound me. look, i was a congressma balanced the budget, i was the military reformer, i've been the governor of ohio. all those positions, we've seen jobs created and problems solved. we'r'r not going to sit back and ke a pounding from anybody, we're going to tell peopl whatt we're for. in my speech last night at the close of the voting, you know, it's gotten rave reviews, which i'm grateful for. i'm talking about bringing people together and reviving the spirit of america. >> governor kasich, you gave your resume. it's pressive.

not to take anything away from your strong finish last night, nald trump still beat you by 20 something points. this is a year where it seems like voters don't want the esblishment. they might feel you represent that. >> he had 65% that didn't vote for 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 a showing. we're going to see how it goes, savannah. nobody thought i'd run for president. no one thought i'd raise the money when i decided to. no one thought i'd make the debates or get to new hampshire. as some people have said, in fact, my two daughters said, daddy, we win you won because we're not so sure mr. trump will last. but we'll see what happens. wel see what happens. it's a long, long road, all the way to the nomination. some point, we're going to be going to the midwest. we're going to be g/ing to pennsylvania and ohio and michigan and illinois. just wait.

ohio governor john kasich, appreciate it. >> thank you. thank you very much. let's bring chuck todd back in. chuck, on to the republicans now. we know who had the best night, donald trump. john kasich had a good night, as well. whwh had the worst night? >> i think -- i guess you have to say chris christie. he went for the kill onarco rubio. it didn't help him. it certainly hurt rubio. marco rubio arguably had equally as bad of a night. christie did worse. i don't know -- he's not going to quauafy for saturday's debate, as far as the criteria. he probably has to reassess his campaign. that's why he's in new jersey this morning and n south carolina. marco rubio is also on the ropes. south carolina, matt, is goeng to be a blood bath. we have aboututen days. jeb bush, trump, ted cruz, john kasich, marco rubio. it could be a circular firing squad. who goes after who? when you asked donald trump who his chief rival is now, i'd say ted cruz. he won one.

have a natural constituency out there. i think you'll see cruz and trump fight it out. bush, kasich and rubio fight to see who can be the l lt remaining establishment republican. >> chuck todd, thank you very much. we have ary ricola on the way to you. let's get a check of the weather from mr. roker. >> we have a lot of cold air coming in. also, a beautiful day out west. they could use rain in southern california today. 88 degrees. you look at what's happening in minneapolis today. 13 for high. wind chills near zero. we have a little bit of a clipper bringing lake-effect snow that will continue to pile up over the next 48 hours. all year long you worked hard to take care of business and take care of the people who matter most. so when your tax refund arrives,

spirits are high inside studio 1a. >> a look at some of the headlines of the morning. an alarming morning from the director of national intelligence, james clapper. he said isis will probably attempt direct attacks on the united states in the coming year. he also warned about the terror group's presence online. >> isil used terror not only for recruitment and propaganda, but also to hack and release sensitive information about u.s. military personnel. >> five dozen isis-linked arrests were made in the u.s. last year. a flight from boston to san diego had to be diverted. an intoxicatedassenger became abusive and threatened crew members. the man was taken away to the delight of fellow passengers. [ applause ] airport officials say the man is not facing charges. in politics, the big story,

winning big in new hampshire. sanders topping hillary clinton by more than 20 points. trump winning big over a crowded republican field. he joined us in our last half hour and we asked him if he's now the overall favorite in the presidential race. >> i think we're doing very well. we have something very special. two days ago, i was in south carolina and we filled up the stadium. it was packed with people. there's something going on. it's a movement. people want to see a smart country. >> senator marco rubio ended up in fifth place in new hampshire. he's still in new hampshire and joins us live. good to see you. thank you for getting up early. >> i'm up early every day. thank you. >> up late and up early in this case. >> yeah. >> you said last night to your supporters tt you were disappointed. very straight forward about it. you said the loss is not on them, it's on you. it strikes me that this was really the first time you owned up to saturday night's debate being not a great performance

do you think you should have said something sooner, been more authentic and maybe it would have salvaged the moment? >> that's not the right analysis of it. a debate is a debate and i don't think the people at home analyze it like the media. the problem is 24 hours later, the media fixated on that and that's what people heard about. they heard that somebody bad happened saturday night with rubio. when you see the margins, very close, that's enough in a race like this. my supporters did everything 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 debates in this 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. it's not just about winning the election but what is at stake here. you won't see anyon work harder

to win an election but turn the country around. >> you say it will never happen again. you feel it was a bad performance. a lot of political analysts are saying it was something more serious. it was exposing a flaw in you as a candidate, and they translate it to a lack of depth. >> it's absurd. no one in this race, for example, has shown greater depth, knowledge, understanding or better judgment on the foreign policy issues than i have. the fact of the matter is, that debate wasas hours and 15 minutes long. i got asked a host of questions on complex things and i answere 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 o o the issues are clear and, moving forward, we'll make it clear. there is not an issue before this country that i cannot the race. when it comes to foreign policy and national security, i have more experience and have done

republican candidate ress remaining combined. >> you are somebody to spouts off talking points, as someone said. or you're aile wide but an inch deep? >> 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. i don't know what you're going to ask me. i do this every dada 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 news. where 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 again. we're going to get back to the fundamentals of what made us successful in the past. we're going to get there. >> you saw the results last nighd, the margin of victory for donald trump and john kasich had aood night. do you think anyone can stop donald trump from getting the nomination right now? >> sure.

the republican nominee. new hampshire is a state that has been badly hurt by, for ample, losing jobs to china, the closing of mills, loss of our manufacturing base. donald has tapped into that a it's an important topic that needs to be discussed, without a doubt. ultimately, 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 conversatatn about depth. i mean, where are the policy ideas about how we're going to bring manufacturing back? it's not enough to say you're goingo do it. voters deserve to know how you're going to do it. i don't know how you're going to continue to run a campaign into south carolina and beyond without specifically outlining policy ideas on these issues. i think 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 to bring manufacturing back. we need energy reform and tax reform.

expenseive in the industrialized world. we're at a competitive disasvantage globally. we're in the part of the campaign where the race is narrow, less people in the race, and there is going to be a focus on policy. we'll see how people hold up. they'll have to step up and outline their solutions to these serious problems. >> marco rubio, thank you f f your time. >> thank you. let's get a check of the weather now from al. >> announcer: today's weather is brought to you by kayjewelers. every kiss begins with kay. >> guys, we're looking at some lake-effect snow showers around the g gat lakes,s, but also seeing snow from washington all the way up to boston. what we're going to be really watching over the next 48 to 72 hours, the great lakes, there's almost no ice cover. that keeps theh lake-effect snow machine cranking. for today, we're going to look at more snow showers, flurries extending all the way down into charleston,,est virginia. lake-effect snow showers get going and will continue with avy snow at times through

you know i could good morning to you. i'm sheli muniz. >> and i'm eric harryman. the time is 8:56. two people are dead following is fiery crash in the northbound lanes of i-95 before exit 3a and the 836, police saying a car hit the barrier and bounced to the opposite barrier and at that point the car went up in flames. the man accused of flashing women at a dateland mall is expected to go in front of a judge this morning. police say jose antonio gore flashed women at least three times at the mall since december 29th. investigators are looking for more victims. meteorologist ryan phillips has a look at the wednesday forecast. still chilly, eric, fighting through cloud cover, trying to get a little sun in our sky. i think that will come into play later this afternoon, a high overcast.

opa-locka, asell as miami. 56 in pompano beach. a little breezy towards the beaches, 57 here into the top of the hour by the lunch hour, partly cloudy skies and our high today at 66. here's kelly with traffic. >> a couple accidents on the palltto expressway blocking a shoulder. if you're headed out the door, on the turnpike, traffic moving between 42 and 47 miles an hour from coral reef drive to tamiami

dolphin. jenna's morning jam, "smooth sail sailin". >> i like it. >> he'll be performing here on march 9th. >> want to go? >> no, performing here. yes, i want to go. >> think they'll let me in? >> i think so. >> i would let you? >> you've let me in before. >> this is going to be huge. >> how huge? >> so huge.

impressive second place at 16%. ted cruz at 12%. it went down from there. jeb bush on the list, marco rubio, as well. i think the fact that donald trump matched the polling is what a lot of people are looking at. he underperformed in the polls in iowa. he was leading by 20 points in most of the polls leading up and he delivered. >> he overperformed, and he had under performed in iowa. the official gop front runner spoke lastight at his victory party. here's what he said. >> we have to thank the candidates because they really read -- we have some talented people. to be victoous against some of these people, even if it's for one week, but i believe it'll be many weeks, okay? but they really are terrific. new hampshire, i want to thank you. we love you. we're going to be back a lot. we're not going to forget you. you started it. remember, you started it.

hn kasich is interesting. a lot of people wonder, what happens to second place? is it one of the four or five guys? john kasich emerged. does he have the message, the power, r rources to go and compete? marco rubio is another guy people were looking at. he fell to fifth place. obviously, the debate performance where chris christie tore him apart was devastating. >> he could not recover from that. saying what chris christie referred to, 20-second memorized speech. ing back to kasich, i was at his headquarters last night and 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. really going negative as he needs to in the trump ena. john kasich is saying, negative politics is old school. it's what he said last ght. a lot of his supporters, they broke out into cheers on this second place.

to fight another day in south to 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 trumpphis morning and asked him about john kasich. you started to see the ear signs. he said, well, he got lucky. the state of ohio, they've done well, struru oil there. he's shaping, how do i go after this guy who came in second? chris christie, governor of new jersey, finished a disappointing sixth. he invested so much in the state. instead of heading to south carolina, as he planned, he's back in new jersey this morning, assessing his campaign. he spent more than 70 days campaigning in new hampshire. as i said, came in sixth place. >> after criticizing rubio so hard, many are saying, how is it that chris christie didn't benefit? he essentially toooo out rubio, but his own campaign at the same time. we'll see if chris christie can lift to fight another day. projected winner for the

a little color here, bernie sanders before this was announced, playing basketball with his grandchildren. this is how he was shaking off the nerves. as you know, back in n york, he was always a favorite to win here. but this gap, i believe they said, is pretty historic. it's the largest gap between two candidates on the democratic side. after the polls, bernie sanders rallied his supporters. here's a little of what he said. >> together, we have sent the message that we'll echo from wall street to washington, from maine to california. [ applause ] ] and that is that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a

contributors and their super pacs. >> so bernie sanders winning by 22 points. i think a lot of people -- we lked to experts even yesterday -- yeah, he's up 20 points in the polls but there's no way it'll be that w w on election night. it was. it was 22 points. hehe won by 11 points among women. part of hillary clinton's mpaign is she is a historic female candidate. she lost by women overall by double digits. hillary clinton speaking last night. i know i have work to do, particularly with young people, but i'll repeat again what i have said this week -- [ applause ] -- even if they are not supporting me now, i support them. because i know -- [ applause ] i know i've had a blessed life,

to stumble and fall. >> well, that's her message to the young women out there. we'll see if there is adjustments to that. guys, back to new york, it is significant t e lost women by 11%. not just young women. in iowa, we saw her lose handily to young people. we saw the same thing. it is what some are referring to as hillary woman problems. we'll see how her campaign adjusts to that moving on. >> guys, good jobob out there. next key date in politics, south carolina republican primary and the democratic caucus, both on the 20th. >> that reminds me of the key date we have coming up this weekend. valentine's day. >> february 14th. >> we know what natalie is going to do from earlier. >> nah, nah, nah. >> what are you going to do valentine's day?

>> i'll see "deadpool." >> listen, there's a prediction about valentine's day and "ghost busters 2." bill murray's character is talking to a psychic. >> you had another date in mind. >> according to my source, the end of the world will be on february 14th in the year 2016. >> valentine's day. bummer. >> wow. >> the end of the world? >> i'll hold my little babies, i guess. >> we know what you're going to do. >> how about the kids? >> ew. >> what? >> i will have a nice family dinner. big, big, big -- >> thank you foror taking it there. what's your last meal? >> rib eye steak, cream spinach,

blood testing routine. i couldn't have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. i found another way. yeah, treatmenttwith xarelto . hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problemem xarelto is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dtary restrictions. treatment with xarelto was the right move for us.
