just days before the iowa caucuses, the republican front runner says he's skpping tomorrow night's debate. this escalates a feud with fox news. the network refusing to back down on trump's call to replace moderator megyn kelly. but trump is hoping to steal back some of spotlight by hosting his own event at the same time . (donald trump, (r) presidential candidate) "they can't toy with me. let's see how they do with (donald trump, (r) presidential candidate) "they can't toy with me. let's see how they do with the ratings" trump is tied with texas senator ted cruz in iowa. cruz says he still wan a one-on-one debate with trump before monday night. as we get closer to caucus night.. the campaigns gain even more steam. ktiv's tiffany lane spoke to a siouxland professor about platforms candidates have established over the last few months.

the political system," said briar cliff university freshman stone conley.
