carly fiorina displayed her foreign policy knowledge and then landed several succinct jab on trump. the candidates with the highest poll numbers took the stage for the second second prime time republican debate. the first topic? front-runner donald trump. >> the most dangerous person in the room is a person who doesn't know what he doesn't know. >> mr. trump, we don't need an apprentice in the white house. we don't need an apprentice in the white house. we have one right now. >> for the 55-year-old construction worker out in the audience tonight who doesn't have a job and can't fund his child's education i can't tell you what, they could care less about your career. >> is visceral response to attack people on their appearance? short, tall, fat, ugly, my goodness. that happened in junior high. are we not way above that? >> i never attacked him on his looks and, believe me, there is plenty of subject matter right there. >> reporter: jeb bush criticized trump's plan for immigration reform. >> are we going to take the

reagan approach, the wholesome opportuni opportunistic approach? the approach that says you come to our country legally and pursue your dreams with a vengeance and create opportunities for all of us or the donald trump approach, the approach that says everything is bad. >> reporter: retired neurosurgeon ben carson who is number two in the polls, says he can't be bout. >> i in no way to get into bed with special interest groups or lift the boots of billionaires. >> reporter: this was carly fiorina's first-time primer debate and was asked to respond to trump's response of her appearance. >> i think everybody across the country heard what mr. trump said. swroo she called on republicans to submit a budget to defund planned parenthood. >> this is about the character of our nation and if we will not stand up and force president obama to veto this bill, shame on us! >> i agree that we should defund planned parenthood. i don't think many people in america who don't think that we
