And everyone else much lower, i mean, somewhere. Reporter texas senator ted cruz posing a very real threat to the reality tv stars frontrunner status and before a huge crowd in las vegas, trump ready for debate night with unshakable confidence. Ill be honest, i think tomorrow night, i think its going to be big. [ cheers and applause ] oh. Ooh. And theyre all coming after me. So far everyone thats attacked me has gone right down the tube so thats good. Reporter for now cruz still playing nice. I dont think the American People are interested in a bunch of candidates bickering like schoolchildren. Reporter but the stage now set for a showdown on the strip just hours away. Florida senator marco rubio spending his debate eve rallying supporters in las vegas too rather than the eight rivals who will share the stage with him. So last sunday the president spoke to the nation in an effort to calm us and make us feel more comfortable. I swear to you i wish he hasnt spoken at all. Reporter 69yearold trump says hes ready and healthy enough for the fight. The billionaire offering a clean bill of health as proof. Well, sort of. After vowing to release his full medical report, trump instead offered up just this short note from his doctor saying trumps physical strength and stamina are extraordinary. And in true trump fashion, the doctor declaring that if elected, mr. Trump, i can state un unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency. The healthiest individual and that letter declaring trump astonishingly excellent but one glitch, trump said that the doctor who wrote that letter was named jacob boren steen. Jacob boren steen passed away his son wrote that letter and trump fixing that later post but a bill political oops out here. I would say. Lets dig into it now with jon karl and tom llamas.

Since july he has had a lead of at least 10 in every single abc Washington Post poll now, of course, his lead more than 0 points. Republican voters trust him on all the big issues, National Security the top of the list. Look at the attributes. On the question of who can handle terrorism the best, look at this, by far and away, trump wins that. And heres the one that amazes me, who has the best chance to win in 2016 . And in our poll overwhelmingly people say donald trump. Even though the poll also shows that Hillary Clinton would beat him more than any other candidate, yeah. Youre out on the trail with trump all the time been taking expect that tonight . Its the fight that Everyone Wants to see and im sure the fight that cnn, the host of the debate wants to see. Turns has been a counterpuncher and yesterday said cruz is a good guy and may be softening the blows. Cruz said he doesnt want personal attacks and doesnt want to go down the gutter. The fight he wants to have is rubio and attack him on obamacare and immigration. Rubio wants that fight with cruz, as well, and, jon, im wondering if Chris Christie will be the guy to take on trump tonight. Yeah, i mean hes there and fought his way back into the debate and has been playing that role, of course, he can bombast as anyone on that stage with the possible exception of trump. Rubio ready to go. His team said hes had four good debates and its shown. Family from vegas in the audience and the really prepared for several attacks from christie, rand paul and senator well all be watching. To robin. The fight against isis.
