missing key senate votes. cruz also accused him of skimping voters on the trail and running the campaign from, quote, a tv studio. a line of attack that s now been taken up by new jersey governor christie this morning. take a listen. so the buzz right now, you re in portsmouth and any sightings of marco rubio there? no, no much we have been looking for marco and can t find him. we had the bus all over new hampshire and not find him. we understand he did a quick town hall here and left to go back to madison avenue in new york. joining me now msnbc.com senior editor beth foie and mark murray. we want to before we get to the gop, moments ago in iowa, hillary clinton doubling down effectively on comments she s made about donald trump being used by isis as a recruitment tool. i ll play you that sound bite and then get your reaction. if you go on arabic
