Republican president ial hopeful ted cruz is all smiles this morning after winning last nights iowa caucus. Gop frontrunner donald trump came in second and marco rubio was a close third. For the democrats it was a tight race for Hillary Clinton and bernie sanders. Clintons campaign is calling it a win. Democratic president ial hopeful Martin Omalley and republican candidate Mike Huckabee dropped out of the race. Next stop for both parties is new hampshire. And supporting the candidates from the very beginning their spouses. Abcs linsey davis sat down with the husbands and wives of the president ial hopefuls to reveal more about the candidates who want to be president. Perhaps the best way to get to know the candidates . Heidi cruz what people dont see is how much fun ted is and how thoughtful he is. Is to hear from the people who know them had 3 teenage children not once did he question to college. Linsey davis for the people who just see Chris Christie and wanna say, hes a name caller
Frontrunner was conspicuously absent. Dominating the news cycle for months, donald trump was in the headlines, skipping the g. O. P. Debate just as he said he would do, but the billionaires promise became promising for some of his political rivals, capitalizing on trumps absence by getting more face time for themselves. Im a maniac, and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and ugly, and ben, youre a terrible surgeon. Now that weve gotten the donald trump portion out of the way trump, instead, holding a counter rally just a few hours down the road in des moines, raising money for veterans and it was no coincidence that it began the exact same time that would take center stage.

Santorum joined something the moderators pressed them about right off the top. If i can help raise money for veterans and the answer was yes, i would, and
Armies whose idea time has come. It was. The chamber was absolutely jammed. The gallery filled, standing room only, no staff allowed on the floor. Just 100 senators. As the vote proceeded, it was silent like a tomb, and when John Williams of delaware cast the deciding vote, everyone, there was a corporate exhaling of breath. It was so tense that everybody literally held their breath until that last vote was counted, and in a blink, Richard Russell was on his feet demanding to know what the hell wed do next.

I mean this was really today, Martin Luth

This session will be with two very distinguished guests today, two veteran reporters who covered the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
