i love iowa, i don't think iowa's going to care." trump's in a battle with fox news -- which is hosting the he doesn't like megyn kelly -- who is one of the moderators. instead, trump says he'll spend his time hosting an event in iowa to raise money for veterans and wounded warriors. his supporters seem to be a bit divided. "that is great. they are going to have terrible ratings. you i don't like it. i wish he would go there. i wish he would go to the debate and stick it out because there is always going to be he is not going to like, and you can't just miss things for that, but i'll wait until my decision for sure. others said the same thing. if he's elected, there will be many people he may not get along with them. senator ted cruz claims trump is scared of megyn kelly. cruz -- debate stage with the other candidates then i would like to invite donald right now to no word yet from trump's camp about whether he would take him up on that -- and have a one- on-one debate. as trump and cruz focus on each other, the republican who's been
