He is joining us live in just a moment going to talk to george about that. First its your voice, your vote and abcs tom llamas starts us off on the latest republican race from manchester, New Hampshire. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you. Donald trump now changing his tune acknowledging he may not win every primary while still trying to show that trump swagger that carried him this far. Overnight, donald trump in full spin mode trying to shed the loser label. For trump, even though he lost iowa, he is still a winner. I came in second. Third was quite a bit away. Reporter actually it was a narrow victory, a difference of 1. 2 . But trump feeling more confident about New Hampshire. Do you now feel real pressure. No, i dont think i feel any pressure. Ive done very well in New Hampshire. Ive been here a lot more. Reporter and trump out with a new line of attacks against the iowa winner, senator ted cruz, accusing him of winning with dirty campaign tricks, citing how the Cruz Campaign mistakenly suggested in an interview dr. Ben carson was dropping out. He insulted ben carson by doing what he did to ben carson. That was a disgrace. Reporter cruz apologized to carson but says trump is the one with the real character problem. I can tell you six weeks ago donald trump was saying every day that i was his friend, that he loved me, that i was terrific, that i was nice. [ laughter ] and now youre an anchor baby. And now im an anchor baby. Cruz will have to get through marco rubio also. I think teds been very calculated and will say or do anything to get a vote. Reporter but the granite tate already proving to be a rocky ride for rubio. So when senator rubio gets here, when the boy in the bubble gets here i hope you guys ask him some questions. Reporter governor Chris Christie called you the buy in the bubble suggesting youre a delicate candidate thats not been tested. What do you say. Chris has had a tough couple of day, did very poorly in iowa. Sometimes when people run into adversity they dont react well. Reporter and rubio and cruz will several events in New Hampshire. Donald trump with a single event in arkansas, trump says that he will be adding events here in this state and also acknowledged that skipping the debate right before the iowa caucus like lie hurt him but he would do it again in a second. Why . He raised 6 million for veterans. George. Okay, tom, thanks. Lets talk to mr. Trump right now joining us by phone. You heard tom llamas there, mr. Trump. Might have hurt you. Whats the biggest change you need to make as you head into New Hampshire . Roger stone says you need to sharpen your focus on cruz and rubio. Well, i think i dont have to make too many changes, i mean, im doing pretty well. I came in second when people said i would be in the top ten when i went out to iowa, they all said id be in the top ten. You were leading all the polls going into the vote. No, but the polls came out very late and said toward the end it looked like i was doing very well, frankly and i ended up coming in second place and its interesting because the man that came in third place, a good guy, marco, everybody saying he won like it was a big victory. I came in second place, ab easy second place and nobody said that. On saturday you yourself said unless i win i will consider this is a big fat beautiful and by the way very expensive waste of time. I dont like second place. Im not a fan of second place but i did well and the person that came in third place everybody is raving about how wonderful it is and they dont say that about me. I came in second place so i dont say that. Place but i was told dont even go to iowa because im not going to win iowa and i thought it was something i should do and i went there and i almost won it and by the way, i got more votes than anybody in the history of the state other than the one particular player. Who is the bigger threat, ted cruz or marco rubio . I dont know. And there are others also that you didnt mex, i mean somebody else could sneak up so i mean theres always threats. I dont assume that anybody is out of it. You have some people that were supposed to be threats and theyre no longer threats it would seem but you have somebody could come out of the pack. You got some people coming down hard on you, as well. John sununu former governor of New Hampshire in the New York Times says i think trumps loss will remind people that the guy has a history of losses. He brought up your bankruptcies and the charges against Trump University and goes on to say theres no longer trump vodka, frag begans and three magazines that mr. Trump put his name on. History of losses. Losses and started off with very little. I used the bankruptcy laws just like anybody else, its corporate, its not personal. Look at the biggest people, i wont mention their names here but a list of the biggest people we have in business, all of us do that, use it. Its a business tool and use that to our advantage and ive built an amazing company. I have a company thats worth many, many billions of dollars and Everybody Knows it. You were outspent in iowa. Are you ready to spend more of your own money in New Hampshire, go up on the air, make sure you get that victory . Oh, yeah, were spending a lot of money. New hampshire is my first place and i really liked iowa. Di well in iowa by all accounts, i mean, lets face it. I did well and came in second and there are ten people that didnt and, you know, we started off with 17 if you think of it that way but i think i did very well. You look at a guy like sununu, you talk about losers, he got fired by bush like a dog and this guy goes out and i guess hes working for somebody that he wants very much because i its a ridiculous attack. What do you think happened in iowa because all the polls in the final three days did show you with a clear lead. Well, i think its very hard to poll a caucus. Caucusing is very tough to poll and that showed it. Now, didnt show a big polling. Showed i could win by a little bit and i was actually surprised because i was not supposed to win iowa. I was supposed to do really great in New Hampshire but not iowa, and, you know, thats the way it is. Look, i came in second and the person that came in third was praised as though he had a great victory but they didnt say that about me. The New Hampshire polls can often swing very hard after iowa. Are you braced for that and if you fall short again, is that the end of the road for your campaign . No, not at all i think well do well with South Carolina and with the s. E. C. In nevada. This is long term. I have Unlimited Money and im still funding my campaign and, said yesterday, i dont think i get any credit for selffunding my campaign. I get nothing. Its an amazing thing, im putting in millions of dollars and i will put in millions but i dont think the voters when they go into the booth say, oh, wow, hes funding his campaign, isnt that wonderful . Everyone else is not doing that. Im the only one selffunding and honestly, i dont think i get very much credit for that and it is something you should be given credit for. You heard it here. You are in for the long haul. See you in New Hampshire. Okay. The battle between the democrat, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders shifting their focus to New Hampshire after the Associated Press officially declared clinton the winner in iowa. Abcs cecilia vega is in manchester also with the latest. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter robin, good morning to you. This is Bernie Sanders backyard. He is basically coming home here and even after that tight iowa win, Hillary Clinton is here playing catchup. Overnight, Bernie Sanders hitting the trail on his own we believe in you. [ cheers and applause ] more importantly, i believe in you. Reporter drawing supporters out in full force, now just less than a week from the first primary vote here. The vermont senator amping up his ground game enjoying a doubledigit lead in the polls but also looking ahead to the clinton. Secretary clinton won here in 2008. So, you know, we are taking nothing for granted. Reporter clinton trying to avoid an upset. Well, i am in a contest with your neighbor. I have the highest respect for him. Were in his backyard. Reporter this is the backyard. Now, i want to give you an example of what it looks like here. We have obtained a copy of a fundraising memo that Clintons Campaign manager sent out updating the status of the race. In it he says New Hampshire voters have a history of england, so its not surprising sanders has a double digit lead here, robin. This is clearly an attempt to try to explain why a presumed frontrunner is in a second tier standing. Thank you. Well bring in abcs matthew dowd, taking it in talking to donald. Bernie sanders with a double digit lead and also a 20point lead in the latest one before the iowa voting but hes still the favorite. Still the favorite and i think hes the odds on favorite. He has to win New Hampshire. Regardless. He has to win New Hampshire. A wink to the super bowl. Its a lot like an allstar rookie quarterback in their first game who throws an interception on the first him in iowa. Theyre going to put him back in in the second series but if he throws another interception hes gone. Coming out of iowa and he kept talking about this, donald trump, saying, you talk about marco rubio. He came in third. But he has the momentum. Marco rubio absolutely has beginning to consolidate the establishment lane in the party. I think marco rubio has to finish second in New Hampshire. He has to do that in order to keep everybody else at bay and so if he does, then he continues that momentum. How about the others . Who needs to gain some traction in New Hampshire, Chris Christie christie . A real dice roll. Chris christie, jeb bush and kasich. If they dont beat marco rubio and finish second its over for them. The race is done. In 2012 we did some polling and the republicans, one in five, they waited until election day, election day to make up their minds so we could see some surprises like we did in iowa, right . The interesting thing about New Hampshire voters is they always wait until after iowa votes but then they dont necessarily follow iowa. Weve had a lot of people that won iowa and have gone on to lose New Hampshire but they always wait to see what happened and then they make their decision. This race could adjust dramatically in the final 72 hours. Its not politics as usual. Even though what happened in iowa it proves its not business as usual. This is the most fascinating race ive ever seen. Its an amazing race. You heard it from matthew dowd, thank you. Complete coverage of the race for president including the next Republican Debate moderated by world news tonight anchor david muir and this week coanchor Martha Raddatz this saturday night 8 00, 7 00 central right here on abc. Thanks, robin. We turn to a Major Development in the Global Health emergency caused by the zika virus. The first reported case of the virus spreading from person to person by sexual transmission instead of mosquito and it happened right here in the u. S. Dr. Richard besser has all the latest from the epicenter of the outbreak in brazil. Good morning, rich. Good morning, george. Disturbing development in the zika epidemic spreading across the americas. Just yesterday a Health Department in texas reported the first case of zika transmission in the United States during this outbreak and it wasnt spread by a mosquito. It was spread through sexual transmission. An individual went abroad, and infected their partner. The cdc says they are developing guidelines for in that should be out in the near future. In the meantime, the others hold, pregnant women should avoid travel to any place where its beg spread and those who return with symptoms should see their doctor. George. Such a scary emergency. Thanks very much. This is he indicating so quickly. To that massive storm moving across the country, tens of millions in its path as a series of damaging tornadoes tear across the south. Abcs Steve Osunsami is in clarksville, tennessee, with the latest. Good morning, steve. Reporter good morning, robin.

Robin. Unfortunately, its not take care. Thank you. Now amy with the mornings other top stories starting with that water crisis in flint, michigan. Thats right, a congressional hearing is scheduled on the flint, michigan, water crisis happening today but the former emergency manager is refusing to testify. Flint switched Water Supplies to save money and since then the water has been contaminated with lead. A michigan congresswoman wants to spend 1 billion to replace water pipelines and the governor wants to spend 30 million to pay residents water bills. The pentagon is asking for a 50 increase in its budget to fight isis. Defense secretary ash carter making that request to congress.

Well, there are new details about the apparent explosion that ripped a hole in this planes fuse lalg in midair. It happened over somalia.

Same ma al bhchlt ad said she bought eight kit kats and none of them, none of them had the trademark wafer inside.
