>> i know. seven of the top eight caidates shared the stage for the final debate before monday's high-stakes iowa caucuses. but the front-runner was not there. >> donald trump a few miles away, hastily set up event to raiseoney for wounded veterans and helping him counterprogram the cable debate. >> brandi hitt was at the main stage and ins us from iowa. good morning, brandi. >> reporter: good morning, reena and kendis. there was clearly a different feeling during last night's debate with fewer attacks. more debating. donald trump making a clear point to not show up yesterday and yet, still his name came up several times. >> let's address the elephant not in the room tonight. >> reporter: a republican showdown like no other in iowa. >> i kind of miss donald trump. >> i have not insulted donald personally and i don't intend toto. >> reporter: front-runner donald trump boycotting the fox news debate. >> has anyone seenrump? where's trump? >> reporter: and instead holding

the exact same time. >> we raised over $5 million in one day. donald trump gave $1 million. okay? >> reporter: trump clearly still upset over his feud with co-moderator megyn kelly. >> i'm not going to do thehe bate out of respect for myself. >> reporter: across town, trumump's clost competitor in iowa, ted cruz, moved front and cecenter onhe debate stage in iowa. >> and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and ugly, and ben, you're a terrible surgeon. now that we've gotten the donald trump portion out of the way -- >> reporter: cruz also came under attack as a flip-flopper on amnesty for illegal immigrants. >> i was for amnesty. so was ted, but now he said it wasn't so. that's not true. >> the truth is, throughout this campaign, you've been willing to say y or do anhing to get votes. >> stop the washington bull and let's get things done!

qul healthy debate last night. tonight's dueling events were apparently a little tomuch to resist for mike huckabee and rick santorum. shortly after their undercard debate, they packed things up and ended up going to the trump rally, reena and kendis, and standing with donald on stage. >> iwas kind of weird to see santorum standing near the trump sign in front of him. i guess it was a party they couldn't miss. brandi, any truth to what trump said that fox news made a last-minute fort to try to get him there? >> reporter: yeah, according to fox news, in a statement they released yesterday, they had three conversatioions with donald trump leading up to last night's debate, and according to the network, they claim that trump asked them for $5 million to ntribute to his charities for him to then show up.

no, we can't exchange money for you to show up to a debate. this is not gointo happen and they copied to say they stick by megyn kelly and think she did a kendis. >> bill o'reilly even offered he said no. we'll talk with you soon. >> of course the debate and trump's boycott comes just four days before the iowa caucuses. >> so how did this play out for abc's deputy political director now. what a fun night. >> yes, what a night, shush. >> it was a bit tamer than usual. blows ter in the evening instead of right out of the gate which we're used to with donald trump. >> with trump out of the way, ted cruz was sort of the next candididate in t lead. how de fare in the debate? >> it wasn't his strongest night. he's very close in the polls in iowa with donald trump. and he really needed to land a blow on donald trump who wasn't there. instead, it was marco rubio who took cruz on a even accused willing to do or say anything to get elected. so, that was a pretty tough hit.

gilmore is the dark horse in this race that is going to come back and get there -- >> he was in the undercard debate. >> finally. twitter went crazy. did any of the other candidates takeke advanta of the trumpless debate? >> i think marco rubio did. he was able to talk longer about foreign policy. it wasn't a great night for him. the moderators showed some previous statements on immigration about ted cruz also. and, of course, immigration is a critical issue in iowa. >> sure is. speaking of iowa, does trump's boycott of this debate impact his iowa campaign? are we seeing anything? is there any signs of this? >> i think we're only going to know monday night. if he wins, then maybe we can say it was a brilliant strategy. do is trying to freeze the field. now, of course, that isn't how time works. but if he's successful monday night, it may look like a good move. if not, people will say why did he decide to skip it? >> it was interesting to see him not there on stage. as for the democrats, sanders is

well, correct? >> yes. as is donald trump, they need the fifirst-timeaucusgoers to turn out. so, if you're seeing a large or larger crowd on monday evening, it may be a good sign for both bernie sanders and donald trump. >> that's so interesting. we've been talking so much about iowa, but right a aroundhe corner, next stop is new hampshire. what's really the key in new hampshire? what do we need to look out for here? >> well, new hampshire is an absolutely critical state. i really think that after the new hampshire primary, we'll see a win noticing of the fieldld. it's a very different electorate than iowa. you're g going to e the more establishment pick, usually the person that leads there, but as we're seeing, it's donald trump as well. >> fascinating times, though, in the campaign cycle, i think. >> absolutely. >> the primary season about to kick into high gear. thank you very much. abc deputy politicalirector shushannah walshe. thank you for coming. >> any time >> after all this time, we're down to three days before the
