if you watch the debate, you see there are ceceain voter groups and issues that keep cropping up. let's start with this battle, and it is an all-out battle for the african-american vote. we saw hillary clinton usher in the strategy she's been trying out, which is wrap her arms around president obama and his legacy. not only that, say that bernie sanders didn't do so sufficiently. >> that's the interesting thing. president obama is still extremely popular with african-american voters. more than 50% of the electorate in south carolina. all of the areas where bernie sanderer would try to come after hillary clinton, so many of them, the criticism he levelled against her could also be applied to president obama. she pointed that out time and again. basically put him on t defensive. he had to say, this is why i'm criticizing hillary clinton but it's not meant as a criticism of president obama. it's tough to accomplish. >> who do you think did better

>> i think what was more interesting on that front didn't happen on the stage. john lewis is an american icon, and it was one of the harsher criticisms of bernie sananrs absenteeism on the movement i've heard so far. >> his response to a question. he didn't just say that. >> correct. >> wenow hillary clinton has a problem with women voters. we saw it in new hampshire. tough week with gloria steinem and madeleine albright saying things that didn't help. how did she go? >> someone just beat you for over 20 points. i've been there. she held her own last night and had one of her strongest performances. for her to do better among women, she has to do better, period. she did. some of the thingng that have been off putting, she fixed. >> she said, don't vote for me because i'm a woman. she said it before. the fact i'm a woman is one of my qualities.

interesting apply? >> he was asked, are y blocking history? he didn't comeout and say it, but we've never had a jewish president. for that matter, we haven't had too many people who call themselves sococlists, either. >> the last topic, wall street. she said she wouldn't be influenced by the big banks. he said, let's not think of the voters as dumb. >> front page of the wall street journal has a story about how gushy her talks were. she's not going to get away with not releasing more information. >> when she was speaking in the paid speechehe for the banks. >> she mad hundreds of thousands of dollars speaking to the banks. this issue is not going away. he has a distinct advantage over here on the stage and the trail. >> she said president obama took some of the money from wall street and nobodyaid he didn't stand up to the banks. >> again, that comeback from sanders, why did they give the money then, that's easy to understand.

the next republican debate is in south carolina tomorrow night. most of the candidates are already in the palmetto state. last night,t, donald trump took his message to louisiana. nbc national correspondent peter alexander is following the gop. good morning to you. >> matt, good morning. south carolina, of course, famous for its rough and tumble politics. donald trump's opponents are hittinggim for his use of vulgarity. he says, in fact, he's swearing off foul language. as the candidates get ready to square off for the next debate tomorrow night. >> reporter: the billionaire barrelling into baton rouge. donald trump earlier taking aim at ted cruz for alleged dirty tricks, charging cruz's allies with spreading misinformation in south carolina with push polls. we are watching, trump tweeted. cruz denying any involvement. >> i have read reports of what is being said, but somebody else
