And yet, im here today with a word of hope, encouragement, and exhortation. Laura he wants to help our country in every way. I just havent disagreed with anything that hes said yet. Kim laura suckow brought along her two daughters. This will be kimberlys first caucus. Kimberly his respect for other people, and just his dignity really, and his reliance upon it is just really important. Kim in a state where every vote counts, cruz just won over one more iowan. Stephanie mom invited me, because i was on the fence before coming to it. But now, he sold me. Glenn beck was also there today, after recently endorsing cruz. And one more interesting thing about todays rally. Cruz didnt mention trumps name once. Todd . Todd that is interesting. Thank you. A Cruz Campaign flyer is taking some iowans by surprise. Some voters received this flyer in the mail, giving a grade on their past voter turnout record. But one voter tells us it feels like a personal attack that he and his neighbors all received an f grade. Kcci spoke with a Cruz Campaign spokesman, who tells us using civic guilt is an effective way to persuade voters to caucus. He says its based off of a Republican Party flyer from 2014. Well, cruzs main rival in iowa, donald trump, held a Campaign Rally in dubuque today. Trump again brought up the fact that cruz was born in canada, questioning how he is eligible to run for president. Trump also defended his decision to not participate in thursdays fox news debate. Donald trump i think the debate turned out to be good, that i didnt do it. Boring, boring. That was a hard thing to watch, wasnt it . But it wouldnt have been hard. If i was there you wouldve liked it, right . Todd trump also had a rally today in clinton and one in davenport. He says he plans to stay in iowa through caucus night.

Rubio spoke to voters today at a rally in sioux city, telling them he believes he is the only one who can beat the democratic nominee, come november. Sen. Marco rubio there is a reason why Hillary Clinton spends more, and her super pacs spend more time attacking me, than any other republican. Because they dont want to run against me.

She talked about her emails today in a oneonone interview with our steve karlin, following a Campaign Rally in ames. Sec. Hillary clinton i think voters are pretty smart. With benghazi, they saw me is all retroactive. There was nothing marked classified at the time. Todd you can see more of steve karlins oneonone interview with Hillary Clinton tonight, on kcci 8 news at 10 00. Clinton did not focus on her emails during the rally in ames, though. Instead, she and former arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords focused on gun control. Clinton highlighted the differences between her policy on gun safety, versus that of Bernie Sanders. Sanders is also in iowa today. He spoke in manchester this morning, telling supporters what it will take for him to beat clinton on caucus night. Sen. Bernie sanders right now, if the election were held today, i would say its a tossup. Some polls have us a little bit ahead. Some polls have secretary clinton a little bit ahead. Virtually tied. We will win the caucus on monday night, if there is a large voter turnout. We will lose the caucus on monday night, if there is a low voter turnout. Todd sanders also spoke about the 2008 election of president obama. Not because of the color of his skin, but because of his ideas.
