This escalates a feud with fox news. The network refusing to back down on trumps call to replace moderator megyn kelly. But trump is hoping to steal back some of spotlight by hosting his own event at the same time. donald trump, r president ial candidate they cant toy with me. Lets see how they do with donald trump, r president ial candidate they cant toy with me. Lets see how they do with the ratings trump is tied with texas senator ted cruz in iowa.

We take a look into the Affordable Care act with a siouxland professor. Hillary clinton has said we shouldnt scrap obamacare even if theres problems with obamacare, we can work on solutions to fix those kind of things, on the republican side what you see from trump, cruz and rubio is more of an approach that says again, lets scrap obamacare. But theyre not calling obviously for replacing it with a single payer federal health care system. Bernie sanders, who calls himself a socialist is calling for that Single Payer Health c ce system to replace e obamacare. We asked some students what they think .

Most people who have looked at that have said, you know taxes are going to have to go up, said irvin. And i think bernie has said the way to raise those taxes would be primarily on the upper income folks in the country. When it comemeto higher educacaon, Hillary Clinton is proposing lower Interest Rates on college loans. The proportion of your budget that has to go to student loans, if thats a large portion of your budget, based on kind of your initial salary, thats less you know goods and services that you can purchase in the economy, said irvin. Both parties have talked about making college more affordable. But multiple republican candidates take a different approach.
