3:02 am
the fireworks started early. >> mr. trump -- >> i cannot say i have to respect the person that if it's not me. >> he's already hedging his bet because he's used to buying politicians. >> reporter: trump quickly put on the spot asked to explain past comments that the fox moderator called disparaging against women but no apology from the business mogul. >> i think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. >> reporter: the other contenders trying to bring the focus back to the issues. >> i'm pro-life. i've always been pro-life. >> reporter: illegal immigration and an area where this field has had differing opinions. >> a majority of the candidates on this stage have supported amnesty. i have never supported amnesty. >> i believe the great majority of people coming here illegally want to provide for their family. we need to control our border. >> reporter: and a fiery debate between rand paul an eye doctor and new jersey governor chris christie a former prosecutor
3:03 am
over government surveillance programs. >> i want to collect more records from terrorists but less records from innocent americans. >> when you're sitting in a subcommittee just blowing hot air about this you can say things like that. >> you fundamentally misunderstand the bill of rights. >> for all the talk about donald trump and his place in the spotlight, the other nine candidates for the most part ignored him, opting not to engage him. but that didn't stop trump from getting in his digs. >> our leaders are stupid. >> reporter: one thing the entire field can agree on hillary clinton. the republican candidates blasted the democratic front-runner insisting they could take this country in a better direction. reena, t.j.? >> incredible. karen traverses, thank you so much for staying up with us this evening. our debate coverage continues now with abc's deputy political editor shoshana wallace with some insight. what is your favorite moment. >> it was really right out of

inexperience. >> especially when megan kelly asked about his remarks about women, she had the comments behind her. >> what's the other big moment people will be talking about? >> i think that brawl between chris christie and rand paul. really it was a mini brawl. we know that on the stage, these are two men that don't like each other. they have a history of fighting over national security issues. but this time it got personal. let's listen. >> senator, you know when you're sitting in a subcommittee just blowing hot air about this you can say things like that. when you're responsible for protecting the lives of the american people then what you need to do is to make sure is to make sure that the system works the way it's supposed to. >> here's the problem, governor. you fundamentally misunderstand the bill of rights. every time you did a case you got a warrant from a judge. i'm talking about searches without warrants indiscriminately of all americans' records. that's what i fought to end. >> wow. >> t. j. what was your favorite
3:06 am
moment? >> that was one of my least favorite moments because they got nasty. got a little personal. debate the issue. that's a serious debate. it's so funny, those two are like two blocks away from each other on the stage. but the exact opposite thing happened with john kasich, the governor of ohio home field advantage if you will. he was asked a question that was kind of meant to put him in a box, asked about what would you say to your children, how would you explain your position on same sex children if one of your children were gay. this is how he came back. >> because somebody doesn't think the way i do doesn't mean that i can't care about them or can't love them. >> we need to remember that in this country. that's how our debates don't take on that tone too often. we disagree and have to hate each other. that was a perfect way to handle the answer. >> it doesn't have to be vicious. >> he wants to be a different kind of republican. that came across tonight. >> i loved his answer. >> okay. i have to say for me it was probably the moment where they
3:07 am
asked donald trump when did you become a republican. >> of course when did you actually become a republican. >> i hate the concept of abortion. i hate the concept of abortion. and then since then i've very much evolved. >> he didn't answer the question. >> he dodged that one. >> right. >> and that's sort of the thing. he may be the front-runner right now in the polls but is he going to have the momentum to where republicans across america would support him right now? >> it's still early and celebrity and name recognition is a big part of this right now. >> but he didn't hurt himself tonight. a lot of people would tell you. >> i think so. >> moving on what is take away going to be? a moment that people remember or we had no game-changer tonight necessarily. >> i think that people will remember that first question that he's not going to support the republican party. it was the gop debate. >> shoshana abc news deputy political director shoshana walsh. it's been awhile. >> new mom, welcome back.
