where fireworks are expected on the south carolina stage. that is the site of the next republican debate. th the attacks getting more heated on the campaig trail, anything can happen. we have coverage for you with nbc's hallie jackson covering the republicans. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this morning, the candidates are getting ready for the debate. the stage is the smallest with six people left in the race. south carolina h a reputation of being a rough and tumble state. don't expect tonight to be different with republicans already looking ready to rumble. >> reporter: in front of a rowdy crowd, donald trump taking aim at jeb sh. >> he has a vicious streak. >> reporter: online, a different target as trump warns ted cruz clean up his act, stop cheating and doing negative ads, trump will sue him for not being a natural born citizen. >> there is more than a little irony than donald calling somebody nasty with the insults and vulgarities. >> reporter: cruz and trump battling for evangelicals in south carolina. and on the air waves, ad wars intensify. this one from trump on illegal immigration immigration. >> his killer, an illegal immigrant. >> reporter: and this fro cruz hit not a republican rival, but hillary clinton. the ad spoofs the movie "office space" but a different kind of film that has cruz explaining why he yanked this off the air. >> vote for a pretty face next time. >> it happened with one of the more colorful film history than we were aware. >> reporter: the actress the star of adult movies who says she has no hard feelings. >> i

>> there are six candidates left. what advice would you give the candidates? >> given this is the ninth debate, we know the patterns with each and how they project themselves. people haven't done well trying to a aack. you look at what chris christie did with marco rubio. it was a very effective attack and really harmed rubio, but christie is out. he was a suicide bomber on stage and took rubio out. that is the fine balance these candidates have to navigate between being too nasty a a showing a positive vision and keeping in the race. >> you mentioned marco rubio. there will be an extra focus on he really needs to have a really strong performance. he needs to show he can go off script and not a robot candidate. there is a focus on that emphasizing that part of his political background. he needs too show he can be more off the cuff and intelligent. >> donald trump in south carolina at last check, he was up around 16 points, i believe. prprary voters in that state are not just evangelical. nearly 70% of the voters are evangelical. donald trump did well with evangelical voters in iowa. how is a guy like donald trump doing well with the so-called god voters. >> it is interesting he is navigating that balance so well so far. i think part of what cruz knows with the opening there, when he did the new york values attack, that was not sailing i ithe wind. what i'm looking for tonight is trump's use of the foul language. this is the bibleelt and polite culture. that language in front of children is not going to g well. >> a lot to watch. ise jordan, thank you.
