Falling. And floor food. Weve all done it, the fivesecond rule. Scientists now weighing in just before the biggest snacking weekend of the year. Is it true . Well, we have made it to friday. We should say good morning, everybody. Well get started with what was really a heated democratic showdown that took place in New Hampshire. Were talking Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton going toetotoe in their first ever debate being described as caustic, nasty, even ugly. Putting clinton on the defensive again was sanders renewed attack on her her ties to wall street. It is time for your voice, your vote. Abcs bazi kanani following the developments from washington. Bazi, good morning. Reporter good morning, kendis. Again, this was the first democratic debate with just two candidates on the stage and with just days to go until the next round of voting, they did not hold back. The top two democrats facetoface for the last time before the New Hampshire primary. I think its time to end the very artful smear that you and your campaign have been carrying out. Reporter the candidates clashing over charges of not standing up to wall street. I helped lead the effort against deregulation. Reporter while Hillary Clinton dodged a question about releasing the transcripts of her paid speeches to banks and big corporations. I will look into it. I dont know the status. Reporter she showed her muscle on foreign policy. I fully, fully concede that secretary clinton, who was secretary of state for four years, has more experience, but experience is not the only point. Judgment is. A vote in 2002 is not a plan to defeat isis. Reporter Bernie Sanders again refused to go after clinton for her email controversy. Reporter instead going after her connections to the political establishment. Secretary clinton does represent the establishment. I represent, i hope, ordinary americans. Senator sanders is the only person who i think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president , as exemplifying the establishment. Reporter and the candidates are right back on the campaign trail in New Hampshire today. While Hillary Clinton is far behind in the polls there, analysts say her performance in this debate was strong and could help her in future contests. Reena, kendis.

We cant get in because theres so many in there. And the fire marshal wont let anybody get in. Theres donald trump. His motorcade coming in right now. Trumps message only an outsider can fix americas problems. No politician is going to solve it. No politician. These people, i would like to use really foul language. I wont do it. Of [ bleep ] but i wont say that. No, its true. And trump still taking aim at ted cruz accusing the Cruz Campaign of spreading misleading information suggesting that ben carson was dropping out of the race after the iowa caucuses. Abc news obtained the voice mail left by cruzs campaign on caucus night. Hello, this is the Cruz Campaign with breaking news.
