Reporter republican candidates are gearing up for the most parts debate and signaling they are ready to punch first and back even donald trump is the primary target of attacks here and now he is threatening to sue ted cruz over his citizenship if he doesnt pull his negative ads. Who won the last debate, please . Who won . Reporter campaigning friday in florida, donald trump signaled he was ready for a they spend a fortune. They are spending money you wouldnt believe it. It comes out of pacs and who puts up the money . Special interests, special interests. Who else . Lobbyists. There is nothing conservative about donald trump. Reporter trump has come under fierce attack here from rival republicans and outside groups, raising questions about his conservative values. Look past the boasting and youll see right through him. He supported partial birth abortions. Reporter South Carolina is a state where faith is central to selfdescribed evangelicals born again christians make up 65 of primary voters four years ago while ted cruz one the evangelical vote in iowa earlier this month, donald trump won it in New Hampshire. Now the rest of the republican field is trying to make inroads the stump. Inspired. Reporter on the air waves. I discovered my purpose by discovering the lord. Yesterday where marco rubio and ted cruz. Faith is the most important influence in my life. Im saved by grace and it has transformed my life and my familys life. Reporter as they highlight their faith they are signaling that questions about trump are fair game. I will take him on because he is not a conservative. And i dont believe he is a steady hand as a leader. He certainly is an incredible entertainer and taken his reality tv status and to new heights but not what you need as a president of the United States. Reporter now bush and other republican candidates are seizing on trumps penchant for profanity in the hopes that wont sit well with religious voters here so expect that to be a line of attack that you will hear on the debate stage later tonight. Julianna goldman, thank you. The race for the democratic nomination is turning into a battle for the support of minority voters. They will play a real role in the upcoming contest in South Carolina and nevada. Hillary clinton is trying to accomplishments of the Obama Administration and speaking to a largely black audience in South Carolina, clinton slammed Bernie Sanders during thursdays debate. He has called the president weak, a disappointment. He does not support the way i do, building on the progress that the president has made. Sanders responded to the criticism at a democratic dinner in st. Paul, minnesota. With clinton in attendance americans should be proud of the accomplishments of the Obama Administration. But we have got to be honest and to acknowledge we still have a very, very long way to go. A new poll Shows Hillary clinton holds a more than 31 edge over sanders among black voters nationwide. Now to talk about what we can expect from tonights debate fight, we are joined by the Washington Post political reporter phillip bump. Good morning. Good morning. What can we expect tonight at the debate . What will be the biggest issues and battles . Sure. We are far enough into this now and had enough debates i think we have gone through a lot of the policy issues and talk about Foreign Policy and particularly with the syria deal this week. And probably talk about Eminent Domain and a way drump onald trump hit a lot. I think taking one another out before the key South Carolina primary. One of the big swings we had in New Hampshire was rubio seemed to lose momentum because of his last debate performance. What, if anything, can he do to regain momentum at this point . Its going to be tough. What needs to do after the New Hampshire primary he came out and said this is my fault and i messed up during that debate. He cant do that again. Key thing. Twothirds of New Hampshire voters said the debates were instrumental how they made their decision. He needs to demonstrate he can handle the pressure and im sure hard to get him to lose his focus and stumble again. Chris christie and jim gilmore and Carly Fiorina left the race this week. How do you think it looks for those Still Standing . I think ben carson is the next person to go. This is a tough year to make predictions but i feel comfortable with that one. John kasich did well in New Hampshire and most didnt have him on their radars prior to New Hampshire. Kasich will try to stick around for the ohio florida and rubio and cruz for the florida primary but this is going to take a while. This race in South Carolina is different than New Hampshire. Very different territory. Yes. Its sort of a weird blend between iowa and New Hampshire. Iowa had more conservatives and conservative has a lot more conservatives than New Hampshire but a religious state. Going back to the debate question one of the things tonight is a lot of questions of morality and trump swearing and that is important to the voters what about on the democratic side . How do things look after march first . I think Hillary Clintons support will hold. New hampshire is a white state. Once we get to South Carolina and nevada, nevada is a caucus so hard to say. I think it will. I think after march 1st, a lot of primaries in the deep south and strong africanamerican turnout and in South Carolina more than half the vote was black in 2008. How important is it to make a strong showing in South Carolina . Very critical. Hillary clinton should do well in South Carolina. If she doesnt do well there, a warning sign for the campaign. He is trying to make inroads in the africanamerican community. Will we see that probably increase the next few weeks . He has no choice. We are coming to a slew of states in the deep south. The s. E. C. Primary they call it and he needs to pull away the away to win some of those contests. We keep asking this question and still dont have an answer yet. At some part do you think a centrist candidate will pull away. Its a threeway split. Donald trump pulls a lot of that moderate vote because he pulls a lot of the vote. Its a fourway contest in that regard as well. All people will be sticking around until ohio and florida so it will take a while. Thank you, phillip bump.
