Ted cruz marco went on univision in spanish and said he would not rescind president obamas illegal executive amnesty on his first day in office. Marco rubio well, first of all, i dont know how he knows what i said on univision because he doesnt speak spanish. This is a disturbing pattern. For a number of weeks now, ted cruz has just been telling lies. He lied about ben carson in iowa. He lies about planned parenthood. He lies about marriage. Things. Ben carson so many people have said to me you need to scream d jump up and down like everyone else. Is that what you want . I dont think so. John kasich on these attacks, some of them are personal. I think were fixing to lose the election to Hillary Clinton if we dont stop this. Myra he was speaking kind of southern there. We will have more on the debate for you and share it with you throughout the newscast including the response to justice and tone Antonin Scalias new death. Allyson the republican candidates had a lot more to say after last nights debate at the peace center. Geoff we fought the crowds and caught up with a few of them and their supporters. Donald trump i think we done i think we won. I think we did a good job here at every paul said we went. Thank arson i just said lord if you really want me to do this they all say its impossible you have to open the doors. And if you open the doors ill walk through them. And if you close the doors ill so far hes got the door open if he doesnt close them, i will keep walking to the white house. Ive never been more proud of jeb bush than i am right now. This is the guy i got behind when i was at 3 . He is clearly under Donald Trumps skin. It is a good, decent man. He stood up for his family he stood up for women he stood up for the disabled he showed sympthay to the Illegal Immigrants who are not rapist and drug dealers and he wants to fix illegal immigration. When marco is just marco. The world is a better place. And tonight marco was marco and that is why when i talk about being president ial on the stage there was none better than marco rubio tonight. He led the charge from the important issues from foreign policy. Encouraging a new generation of voters and taking care of our economy. Allyson and youll hear more from the president ial candidates later this morning on meet the press. Donald trump governor john kasich. And senator marco rubio will talk to chuck todd about last nights gop debate here in greenville. Geoff hundreds of republican supporters gathered outside the peace center during the debate. Allyson many of them have affecting us. Wyff news 4s corey davis tells us what he learned from voters. We had some really great indepth conversation with voters who were outside the peace center as the debate went on. When candidates were out there going after each other on stage, we spoke with mothers fathers, and parents, kids and even College Students about whats important to them. They are really passionate about the issues that really matter most to them. Jim what does the top of your sombraro say . It says trump, make America Great again. Lacks could you show us . Can you see it . Why do you support him . Cause the politicians that we have now have really gone the wrong way. Weve lost support and confidence from the ones we have now. We need somebody out there who will make our nation great again. When ted cruz stepped at Liberty University and run for president i knew right then and there i needed to back this man. Hes a christian, hes conservative, he has a proven record. What are some issues that are important to people your age . Definitely Student Loans and student debt. I think that the democrats sort of have the hand up. Theyre saying that theyre going to give away free college and we kind of wand to know what , the republicans are going to do to help us out. I think as a student most of the issues revolve around around student debt. Im kind of in that period where im traveling into adulthood coming out of college. Student debt is a big thing, Student Loans. Collects we also spoke to people about health care and also veterans who were really passionate and wanted to know what candidates would do to help people who leave the military and help those veterans who are trying to get care now through the v. A. System. So a lot of passionate, enthusiastic voters outside the peace enter while the debate was corey davis, wyff news 4, in greenville. Allyson social media played a big part in last nights gop debate. People were asked to use the hashtag gop debate on twitter. To submit questions to the candidates. Geoff wyff news 4s Gabrielle Komorowski spoke to sean evins a member of the twitter team about how social media and twitter have broken down the barrier between candidates and voters. Collects how its changed the talk to me about how twitter has changed the debate how its changed the whole election , process. Well twitter is the l le movement. Twitter allows people to participate whether theyre next to the candidate at a rally, or theyre talking to their friends, or sitting on a couch watching the debate. You are using twitter to be able to participate in the debate itself. It is like you are at the rally, every rally without actually being there. Alive using gopdebate. Opportunities for question to be asked in debate is a real thing. Having your voice or live. Eight years ago when we knew we would have someone new going to the white house, it wasnt common at the time to follow your favorite candidate on social media. That is exactly right. Twitter has changed and allowed for much closer access to the process. You are able to follow candidates, what rallies they are at. In some cases, you can see great behind the scenes moments of candidates preparing for debate or going over notes or talking to other constituents and voters from all around the state come all around the country. It gives you access that was previously not allowable. Best way for people to follow . Gopdebate tonight for the candidates, follow friends, local news organizations. Twitter is a great opportunity sense of community. Allyson as we head to the first in the south president ial primary next saturday make sure you download our wyff4 mobile app. Geoff and follow wyff news 4 and our reporters on facebook and twitter. Allyson the gop primary happens next saturday, february 20. Followed by the democratic primary a week later on february 27. Geoff in georgia both primaries are on tuesday, march 1. And in North Carolina. Both primaries are on tuesday, march 15. Dale good morning. We have temperatures in the 20s across the upstate, teens in the mountains. It is going to be a cold one. We will talk about Winter Weather in a few moments. Gilliard you know, theres an old saying about South Carolina, were always first in the things that are last and last in the things that are first. This economy is rigged. We can do better. And thats where bernie comes in. Bernie is not in the pocket of wall street. Everybody knows the problem. Bernie wants to do something about it. He gets it. I mean, he really gets it. Sanders im Bernie Sanders, and i approve this message. Its always worth remembering. That icing the Cinnamon Rolls is a privilege not a right. Unleash the power of dough. Give it a pop. Look at this sweet face. So sweet. Ok, were going to need a napkin gooey, flaky, happy. Toaster strudel. Im chris bosh. When i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung, it was serious. Treatment with xarelto. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. If you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto. Was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto. Turning to our continuing coverage of the School Consolidation proposal in geoff turning to our continuing coverage of the School Consolidation proposal in Pickens County. Dozens of parents held a protest in Liberty Square near the court house yesterday. The School District has approved the proposal to close 3 under enrolled schools ambler, a. R. Lewis and Holly Springs elementary schools, the district says it will save the district almost 12 million over 5 years. But some parents dont think we had 3 meetings, each had 2 to 300 people in them at the individual schools they were trying to close and it was a resounding no. So at some point you got to realize that the School District is actually owned by the people and you need to listen to what they have to say. The proposal now heads to the full school board. They are scheduled to vote on the 22nd. Allyson a group of fast food workers protested in the upstate. They want a raise in the minimum wage. The group gathered outside the mcdonalds on laurens road in Greenville County saturday the group is asking for the minimum wage to be raised to 15 dollars an hour. And later the protestors moved to Downtown Greenville. As they marched at the gop debate at the peace center. A similar protest happened at the democratic debate earlier this week in milwaukee. Geoff a group of protestors gathered in falls park, and outside the peace center. They asked the gop president ial candidates to fall for a reduction. Or elimination of nuclaear weapons world wide. The group called global zero throughout the debate. If youre doing everything right but find it harder and harder to get by, youre not alone. While our people work longer hours for lower wages, almost all new income goes to the top 1 . My plan make wall street banks and the ultrarich pay their fair share of taxes, provide living wages for working people, ensure equal pay for women. Im Bernie Sanders. I approve this message because together, we can make a Political Revolution and create an economy and democracy that works for all frustrated with your Overactive Bladder medicine not working .

Natalie morales has more natalie the new cdc report intended to caution not just pregnant women but all women about the dangers of drinking but what it said set off a , firestorm instead. More than 3 million u. S. Women are at risk of exposing their developing baby to alcohol because they are drinking, having sex, and not using Birth Control to prevent pregnancy. And suggesting that not only pregnant women, but those who could potentially be pregnant should not drink alcohol at all. They want fewer babies with fetal alcohol syndrome and that is a great thing to want. To tell all young women, as a potential baby vessel, here is our recommendation for you, that is where it gets muddied. Natalie the recommendation seen by some as a patronizing lesson that suggests women are not in control of their bodies. One woman tweeting, this has to be a joke, right . Insulting derogatory garbage. The cdcs mention of contraceptives, also struck a nerve amongst critics. Am i a person or a thing that might potentially at one point contain a baby. It seems like when youre saying never drink anything if youre not on Birth Control, youre viewing me as the latter not as the former. Natalie but the recommendation is based on plenty of science. Studies show theres no known safe level of alcohol use during pregnancy, and one in 10 pregnant women in the u. S.

Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class.
