Transcripts For WOI Local 5 News At Six 20160131

Thanks bree. Switching to politics now. Nikki as monday night the final push to sway voters their way. We had a chance to sit down with one of those candidates. Local 5s Sabrina Ahmed spoke with ted cruz. Sabrina today we are just a few days away from the iowa caucuses, so we had the opportunity to sit down with senator ted cruz on his very large bus, talked to him about what its going to take to win iowa, his likeability factor, plus what some voters are saying to him on the trail. Senator ted cruz we are two days away, all the time for the media attacks, all the noise, all of that has passed. This is all about the men and women of iowa. The men and women of iowa making a decision and what were focusing every waking moment on is asking for the support of the men and women of iowa, building and mobilizing our grassroots team. Weve got over two hundred thousand volunteers nationwide. Weve got over Twelve Thousand volunteers on the ground here in iowa. But, the great thing is the men and women of iowa take very seriously their responsibilities first in the nation. To examine and study the records, and what were seeing is as theyre doing so, more courageous conservatives are uniting behind our campaign. One of the amazing dynamics were seeing in this race is the washington establishment is abandoning marco rubio. I think theyve determined marco cant win, and theyre flocking to donald trump. Now, in both instances, the reason they say is that they want someone who will go along to get along. They want someone who will cut a deal. Both bob dole and trent lott recently said that theyd be fine with donald trump because they can work with him. Hell cut a deal. Trump went on t. V. And said he thought the problem with ted is that he wont go along to get along. He wont cut deals with democrats in washington. And, he, donald trump, will do that, and marco rubio, weve seen in the gang of eight amnesty bill. Marco rubio is very happy to cut deals with democrats even if he promised the voters hed do something else. Sabrina and, of course, it all comes down to voter turn out, as he said, so it will be very interesting race and it will be very interesting to see what transpires come local election headquarters, from ames, im Sabrina Ahmed, local five news, we are iowa.

I had to halt a couple bouts just because there were stickers everywhere. Lance carlson was a Political Science major during college, natural sound of swords clinging and he says this tournament was the perfect way to mix two of his favorite interests. Lance carlson, West Des Moines resident its very appropriate to have fencing represent the political trail, with all the attacking and the defending that happens, especially during this last push ahead of the caucuses. The round robin format allowed everyone the time to size up their opponents to see whod stand out. Natural sound of swords separating while there was many a parry on the floor, it was not enough to foil some of the upset bids.
