went at it last night. the others fighting to break out and abc's tom llamas was there in charleston for all of it. good morning, tom. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. what a night.t. the two front-runners wasted no time going at it. senator ted cruz standing his ground accusing donald trumpp of manufacturing that birthther controversy b but donald trumump saying with ted cruz, there's serious problems for the gop. overnight, a clash of titans at the republican debate. donald trump and senator ted cruz once allies rumbling on stage. >> there's a big question mark on your head. >> reporter: trump ordering cruz to get a court order to sho he's eligible to run for president since cruz was born in canada. cruz painting trump as a natural born politician. >> you know, back in september, my friend donald said he had had his lawyers looookt 24 f from every which way and there was no issue there.

columnist for "the washington examaminer." trump said after the debate the bromance is over with ted cruz. who got the better of it? >> reporter: well, look, both of them, cruz and trump had their best debates of the campaign. they dominated this debate but trump clearly came out on top. his response to the new york values attack from cruz was so effective that cruz was actually applauding him and even that exchange on uz's citizenship. you could argue that cruz won theexchange but look what they were debating, george. they were debating whether or not ted cruz is eligible t be president. that a debate that donald trump wants to have. it's certainly not a debate that ph.d. wants to have. >> kristen, you thought ted cruz won. >> i thought he did because i i think he rtltled donald trump. donald trump's not someone who rattles easily but when cruz brought up the fact tt donald trump's mother wasn't born in the united states, of course, that's irrelevant when it comes to the constitutionality of trump's caaign. but i did seem to throw him off

saw that this is the ted cruz who i is a national debate champion in college. this is the ted cruz that came out to play last night. >> jon, at times the others seemed to struggle toet in a word dururing the debate but marco rubio really unlshed a barrage cruz right at the end ofhe debate. >> reporter: he sure did. clrly marco rubio has calculated that he is not going to be able to beat donald trump unless he is first able to destroy ted cruz. ththeyent b backk and forth at it. i think that that's the political cage match we'll see going into iowa. but, george, even on that score i think you could argue trump won because while they were beating up on each other, trump emerged from this debate largely unscathed. meantime, hillary clinton on late night tv last nit. here she was with jimmy fallon. >> he does have a running commentary. we both do. could you believe what he just said? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> what does that mean? i have no idea. yeah, we have an ongoing dialogue about it. >> that was her talking about how she watches debates with her husbd former presint bill clinton but, kristen, one of the

salivating about is this cage match between bere sanders and hillary clinton with him leading iowa and new hampshire. >> you're right. if you take a look at the polls hillary clinton' decliner the decline of her lead looks about as dramatic as the decline in her lead lood eightears ago. are we seeing a rerun of the same movie becausese while hlary clinton gets certain piece f tof the side there are piececes from eight years ago that seem to be flocki to bernie sanders. first time caucusgoers and there has to be nervousness in the clinton camp. are we seeing a rerun of eight years ago. >> kristen, jon, thanks very much. over to robin. >> inow you'll be there this week on sundaynd we'll be watching. thank you. now to breaking news, reports just coming in of two military helicopters colliding ofoff the coast of waii. the search for survivors under way and abc's gloria riviera h has th latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning,

and makes 9 classroom a tense situation. >> but it isrying to counter that everyone gets a trophy mentality. >> yeah, definitely. i'm a big fan of doing that when they're 2 and 3 and just being introduced to things and encouraging participation but when you get to 4 or 5 they nee to start learning that you need to earn that prae ando this can go a long way in helping that kind of mentality. >> wt do you think parents should take away from this and incorporate at home. >> everyid needs structurend discipline. and you want to make sure that you are putting rules in place and that they know that they have to follow those rules. but i don't see anything wrong with saying please and thank you. >> i think the first time you ask is a pase andnd if the child doesn't listen it's i'm not going to ask you again. >> exactly. >> and tha doesn't mean you're giving up control. it just means you're teachchg them to be resescted and that breeds respect in turn. i love what you said there. it doesn't mean you're forfeiting control. >> not at all. >> by not saying that.

>> you're all aboutmaers. i am too. i agreeuthere is a time and place where, you know, children crave -- >> structure. >> structure and control and knowing thatt they have somebody who's in control of the situation. >> i say please to do -- they take advantage. >> maybe it's how you say please >> it's not an option. still be polite. >> they know they have to do it and follow rules and should be penaltiesn place if they don't. >> but i do appreciate that they are trying to do something, that they recognize there's a problem and trying -- it's a creative solution for them and if it's working for them -- >> we want to make suret doesn't discourage kids from asking for help if they need it or ask questns in a classroom. all thingses important. >> let's go outside to sam. >> all right, everybody, so i thought i was walking out into times square but apparently this is hickory, north carolina. everybody f from hickory, raise
