Were going to get to our top story. Last nights president ial debate. What did you think . It was interesting. They actually talked a lot of policies and there was an actual debate that took place and not one candidate dominating. Imagine that. Seven of the top eight candidates shared the stage for the final debate before mondays high stakes iowa caucuses. But the frontrunner was not there. Donald trump, a few miles away. His hastily set up event planet to raise money for wounded veterans and helping him Counter Program the cable debate. Brandi hitt was at the main stage detainee and joins us from iowa. Good morning to ow, brandi. Good morning, reena and kendis. There was clearly a different debate with fewer attacks. More debating. Donald trump making a clear point to not show up yesterday and yet, still his name came up several times. Lets address the elephant not in the room tonight. A republican showdown like no other in iowa. I kind of miss donald trump. I have not insulted donald personally and i dont intend to. Reporter frontrunner donald trump boycotting the fox news debate. Has anyone seen trump . Wheres trump. Reporter and instead holding his own rally for veterans at the exact same time. We raised over 5 million in one day. Okay . Trump clearly still upset over his feud with comoderator megyn kelly. Im not going to do the myself. Reporter across town, tremps closest competitor in iowa ted cruz move front and center on the debate stage. Everyone on then stage is stupid, fat and ugly and ben, now that weve gotten the donald trump portion out of the way ing. Reporter cruz also came under attack as a flipflopper on amnesty for illegal immigrants. I was for amnesty. So was ted but now he said it wasnt so. Thats not true. The truth is, throughout this campaign, youve been willing to say or do anything to get votes. Stop the washington bull and xwae lets get things done this was a healthy debate here last night. Tonights dueling events were apparently a little too much to resist for Mike Huckabee and rick santorum. They packed things up and ended up going to the trump rally, reena and kendis, and standing with donald on stage. It was kind of weird to see santorum standing near the trump sign in front of him. I guess it was a party they couldnt miss. Brandi, any truth to what trump said that fox news made a lastminute effort to try to get him there . Reporter yeah, according to released yesterday, they had three conversations with donald trump leading up to last nights debate and according to the network, they claim that trump asked this em for 5 million to contribute to his charities for him to then show up. And fox news roger ailes said no. We cant do Exchange Money for you to show up to a debate. This is not going to happen and they copied to say they stick by megyn kelly and think she did a great job last night, reena and kendis.

The candidates bd were landing blows later in the evening instead of right out of the gate with trump out of the way, ted cruz was the next candidate in the lead. How did he fare in the debate. It wasnt his strongest night. Hes very close in the polls in iowa with donald trump. And he really needsed to land a blow on donald trump who wasnt there. Instead, it was marco rubio who took cruz on and even accused him of being able to do willing to do or say anything to get elected. So that was a pretty tough hit. Now i secretly think jim gilmore is a dark horse in this race thats going to come back and get there. He was in the undercard debate. Finally twitter went crazy. Did any of the other candidates take advantage of the trumpless debate. I think marco rubio did. He was table to talk longer about foreign policy. The moderators showed some previous statements on immigration about ted cruz also. And, of course, immigration is a critical issue in iowa. Sure is. Speaking of iowa, does trumps his Iowa Campaign . Is there any signs of this . I think were only going to know monday night. If he wins, we can a maybe it was a brilliant strategy. What donald trump is trying to do is trying to freeze the field. Now, of course that isnt how time works. But if hes successful monday night, it may look like a good move. If not, people will say why did he decide to skip it. It was interesting to see him not there on stage. As for the democrats, sanders is hoping for a large turnout, as well, correct. Yes. As is donald trump, they need turn out. If youre seeing a large or larger crowd on monday evening, it may be a good sign for both Bernie Sanders and donald trump. Thats so interesting. Weve been talking so much about iowa. About right around the hampshire. Whats really the key in New Hampshire . Here . State. I think that after the new see a winnowing of the field. Its a very different electorate than iowa.

Unusual because the frontrunner donald trump did not take center stage because, well, he just wasnt there at all. No, trump was a few miles away holding his own event after a standoff with the debate host fox news, he insisted megyn kelly be removed as moderator after she called him out at the first debate. So fox said no to that. So trump held his own show right around the corner. Abcs david wright has that story. Before we get to the issues, lets address the elephant not in the room tonight. Its not about donald trump. Donald trump for once was not center the stage. I kind of miss donald trump. He was a little teddy bear to me. We always had such a loving relationship. Reporter but he was still very much the center of attention. Let me say im a maniac. And everyone on this stage is and ben, youre a terrible surgeon. Now that weve gotten the donald trump portion out of the way reporter trump went rogue, holding his own event for veterans ten minutes away in des moines. Fox has been extremely nice and the last number of hours actually. Reporter and over on fox, the last gop debate minus the gop frontrunner. But center stage this time was ted cruz who is now running second in iowa. Chris, i would note that the last four questions have been rand, please attack ted. Marco please attack ted, chris please attack ted. Jeb, please attack ted. Not to join his fellow candidates, ostensibly because he doesnt like the moderator. The latest iowa polls show him slightly ahead but everyones waiting for saturday when the Des Moines Register relees its poll. Its one of the more fascinating campaigns ive watched. I dont think ive ever seen Something Like this on both sides of the aisle. Reporter so its a little early to call it just yet. Im david wright in new york. A fascinating debate. We want to get a little bit more on this right now. Abcs brandi hitt was at the actual debate and joins us now from des moines in the Early Morning hours. Good morning. Reporter good morning, reena and kendis. Whats the reaction there . Was there a clear winner from last night, do you think . Reporter you know what, a lot of people are talking and a lot of analysts agree that marco rubio had a great night. You had rand paul who got loud cheers from the crowd because he had the most supporters probably there in the room. Theres donald trump who wasnt even there but still possibly a big winner because not only was he the first issue discussed, the stretch of the debate, he was also one of the top candidates trending on google all night long. And brandi, youre going to be there straight through the cleanup effort, as well, thats going on behind you. But through the long haul. But do you get a sense that tonights move hurt or helped trump . Reporter thats the big question. Yes, we all come in like a big swathe of people and get the heck out of here very quickly, right . When it comes to hurting or helping, Trump Supporters say he did the right thing by holding this rally. His opponents say this was a huge mistake. We dont know the till early poll numbers come out or possibly obviously when the caucuses happen on monday. He needs to convince all of those people who are supporting him to show up. This isnt like a normal election. You have to show up at a very specific time. Where im from in california, you can go to the poll in the morning or in the evening or during your lunch break. Here in iowa, you show up in the evening rain or shine. To go out and turn out for him, hes not going to win iowa, reena and kendis. Fascinating. We hear there could be snow. We look forward to her reports. Hopefully she helps those folks cleaning up behind there, as well.
