to keep republicans who have not yet endorsed our haley barbour the former chairman of the republicanational committee whose close to christie john kasich, and nikki haley the popular governor of south carolina. peopleey's are important . what you think they and people like them are going to do in these 10 days? they had hoped that rubio would be their salvation. he did get a few endorsements. tim scott. the money has not come his way. both the money and the is clickable elite establishment are going to wait. i don't think you will see too many big endorsements for south carolina. their hope is that bush or john kasich will revive. they are not going after trump or ted cruz. you will not see them intercede in this battle. john: south carolina is always important. it has been productive of who would be the republican nominee more often than not. the question of who comes out here the strongest and who drops out, if jeb bush has a horrible showing and decides that he just can't go forward. i imagine jeb bush and john say thatll immediately they will give their endorsement to this other

former governor of mississippi haley barbour is with us., are you ready and willing to accept a trump nomination for the presidency from the republicans? >> you know what? it's an unusual year, stuart, when the question opens with zombies. but, look, it's my intention to support whoever the republicans nominate. and i don't have any doubt that i will. i'm a little like him, i don't think that donald trump is there yet, but certainly ahead of everybody else. well ahead of everybody else. big win for-- big win for him in nevada because instead of winning with 32% or in the low 30's where he would seem catchable, if this 46 sticks, i'm not saying it will, that's the kind of number that's very, very hard to catch up. stuart: i got nearly half the votes cast last night in nevada. his total of votes, 34,000, was greater than all the votes cast in the nevada republican caucus in 2012. i mean, 32,000 cast in 2012. 34,000 just for trump last night and this is his third victory in a row. when you woke up this morning, i don't know whether you went to

>> it's hard for people who have given as much to the party as haley barbour has to say they'll walk away from it. at the end of the day, i care more about the country than the party and policy than the party. i just cannot bring myself to support someone who i don't think he's still -- i think trump has yet to decry the robocalls that were made, not by his campaign, but by an unaffiliated group supporting him that said at the end of the day, don't vote for a cuban. i have trouble with someone who wasn't immediately ready to renounce the kkk. it's just -- or the endorsement of the leader of the kkk. those are things i can't get comfortable with. >> governor barbour, what do you think of that position? >> look, i was chairman of our party when governor whitman was elected governor of new jersey. i was proud she got elected november 1993. i'm proud she got elected today. she's a great governor. she did just what governors are supposed to do. >> what do you think of her position regarding -- >> we need more people like that. john kasich she mentioned. john kasich's been that kind of gov

to quote one of our favorite haley barbour lines, good gets better, back gets worse.ind a way -- every endorsement bernie sanders gets in the last -- next week will be trumpeted in the media. john: you saw him in this debate. very noticeable in new hampshire. when he did his closing statement, he sang the song of being an immigrant. his father, a polish immigrant. that is what that talk is about. going to nevada. even though he is from a different immigrant story, he understands the immigrant story. they are going to fight in nevada. mark: hillary clinton must try to play some offense and take away his young people vote. but she is going to have to play some defense. one big question -- what hillary clinton's post-new hampshire campaign will look like. tv ad a glimpse with this focused on courting african-american voters. >> something is broken when african-americans are more likely to be sentenced to longer prison terms for doing the same thing that whites do. when too many encounters with tragically,ent end we need investment in education, health care, and jobs to c

when i called kathleen blanco, when i called rick perry, when i called haley barbour that were being hit by katrina and i said what can i do for you, he said you won't believe this. we're out of fuel. our first responders do not have fuel. i said is it so critical that it is worthy of a convoy from idaho to mississippi? he said without question. i said then please, at some point in the future, make sure the paperwork catches up because governors know how to make things happen. you're pragmatic. i think you need to look at the history of when governors have taken the spotlight and have shone because you will shine. you are going to the white house. i believe after this. you are going to have good discussions but know that in that wonderful, historic setting, in addition to speaking, do the president of the united states, you have many staff members there making a lot of notes, issues such as a proposed fiduciary rule that we really believe as well intentioned as it was, really will have a dampening effect on middle and low income americans on getting the advice they need as they prepa

. >> jon meacham likes to quote thoreau, i like to quote haley barbour who said in politics "good gets better, bad gets worse." right now sanders has money, momentum and message. and everything that could go wrong in the clinton campaign is going wrong right now. there's distrust between the candidate and the staff, there's questions about the balance between fund-raising, positive message, negative message. there's no doubt as a static message, these next two states, nevada and south carolina, should be better for her but sanders has momentum and in those two states the best she can do is come out with victories that stabilize her campaign. the real battle will be in march where she is going to be almost certainly now at a financial deficit and fundamentally all the talk about bringing new people or changing up the message, whatever, she's going to have to perform as a candidate. she's going to have to remind people why she was the favorite for so many people in the democratic party. it's hard to do that when you're on your back feet trying to deal with all the complaints and criticis
