and why do gop of social -- gop officials need to emulate this? people like mr. trump are relying on rudeness to garner attention. in research conducting in september, other gop hopefuls like jeb bush and marco rubio became most associated with, strangely enough, the phrase joyful tortoise, and democrats screamed over them. not many gop hopefuls today have shown resident reagan's charismatic work. instead, they are either too quiet or too bombastic. we need them to leave the extreme. but despite this, they show that current gop hopefuls are unlikable because of their refusal to compromise. according to politico, and all the gop residential candidates rejected reagan's approach. president reagan's takeaway is this. political brinksmanship is never worth it when it endangers the american good. we need someone to clear the air for the gop and bring our nation back together. thus, we oppose.

the gop race just as tight on that side. for that we turn to my colleague devin dwyer in des moines this morning. >> thanks, cecilia. this incredible republican campaign is down to the wire. for the first time last night, both front-runners spent the night in iowa. ted cruz this morning, taking the day off before he finishes visiting all # 9 counties. donald trump is headed to church, but the top talker here, how personal and negative this fight has been. trump overnight said he would not vote for cruz if he wins. donald trump began running his first negative tv ad hitting cruz. cruz is fighting back. >> if donald trump wins it's going to be a snowball to hell. >> i was at that rally, martha, the cruz's case against trump is electrifying his sporters. they're placing 15,000 calls a day, but the big question here is, will those huge crowds for trump actually turn out to caucus? his iowa operation of course has been untraditional. the underdog, marco rubio getting endorsed this morning by the des moines register. rubio trails

fox news still had an open spot for gop frontrunner donald trump. he stood firm in not attending the debate due to the ongoning issues with the network. he instead hosted a veterans event close by, acknowledging that fox news apologized to him for it's past treatment. we'll have much more on trump's event, and whether he feels his boycott of fox will hurt his polling numbers. if you take a look outside, you're seeing a foggy start to the morning. von gaskin is in for tim miller friday through monday will be mostly sunny with highs from near 60 friday and approaching 70 by the end of the last gop debate is in the caucuses on monday. seven republican candidates squared off last night on the fox news channel. our michal higdon is live in the studio this morning with some of the biggest takeaways. the dynamics of this debate were donald trump wasn't there. but for the candidates who were, several top issues were discussed. the most contentious -- immigration. specifically an amendment ted cruz offered in 2013 that would have allowed some undocumented im

and of course, we all watched the gop debate. and so fireworks are sure to be going. >> of -- if there is a debate, of course there will be fireworks. >> a smaller field and more substance. what i love about our campaign -- frankly, the entire democratic field is that we are currently having the debate on the issues. we will talk about healthcare. and expanding medicaid. medicare for all. a single care system. we will talk about education. we have talked about criminal justice before. we will definitely be talking about wall street. and moving up the middle class. topics. people want to hear about that. >> they do. people get excited about that. >> people get fired up. >> we have had some good crowd that we have covered. some of the issues that we reverend jackson. that are important to south carolinians. we will probably have to address the medicaid issue. >> some senators believe that affordable care act. and calling for a medicare for all, single-payer system. >> so his thing is not to repeal and replay. >> we have to take it

and i believe the same is true for the gop. i think they think if they can divide the cruz voters and trump voters they will sneak an establishment candidate in there and i don't believe they will. charles: joni ernst who was helped into office by sarah palin went for rubio. when it's all said and done, do you think we'll have a new gop -- is this the elect that upend both parties in the power system we have become accustomed to? >> people talk about a third party. we need a third party. i don't know if it' doable in this day and age. but you can see the remake of a party much like when lincoln ran. he wasn't a traditional republican party, the anti-slavery party. but that's what the republican party melded into after lincoln won that presidential race. this is a fight for the soul of the gop, the republican party, but it could cop out looking like something entirely different from what we see or what we know it as today. charles: like anything else when you tear it apart, it's ugly. we'll be back. of course, donald trump at a

you were very close. >>> now we'll switch to the gop. struggle we saw this week for the heart of the gop, let's just go right to it and steve, inskeep, eight days from now the real test for the candidates. the poll out of iowa friday gives trump the commanding lead in iowa. if trump wins iowa does he become the nominee? >> i don't think that's insured. maybe ted cruz wins somewhere. somebody like jeb bush has a problem. kristen has been very insightful about this. he's arguing that donald trump isn't a conservative. >> how about that support they got. glenn beck friday. donald trump endorsed by sarah palin. what will these endorsements do for the general election? >> whether it's donald trump or ted cruz, i don't think the for ted cruz, his support comes much more from tea party-type folks, folks who get concerned about the things that jeb bush brought up earlier today. trump's support comes from the populous wing of the party. there's this big divide on the right. >> mike, very quickly, 20 second and jeb bush keeps saying he's not a tru

what people have to say about his absence in an upcoming gop debate. break thanks for staying with us for the news at 5:30. i'm judi gatson. presidential front runner donald trump is right here in the palmetto state. he is holding a campaign rally tonight at gilbert, which kicks off in a couple hours. we first go to charles molineaux at harmon's tree farm. bombastic billionaire and leading republican presidential candidate donald trump will headline a rally in lexington county on wednesday just days before primary season begins in earnest with the iowa caucuses. trump will appear at the harmon tree farm in gilbert and host a rally at 7 p.m. the doors open at 5 p.m. the candidate's appearance comes as he continues to hold a commanding lead in national and south carolina polls as the candidate of choice for gop primary voters. white house ... and a big question: is donald trump dropping out of the much- anticipated last debate before voting starts in iowa -- a brilliant move ... or a big mistake? steve handelsman, who goes to iowa tonight, is in washingt

is the gop going to have to live with a trump nominee? >> as much as i love national review, i think they have shown up at the war long after the last shots have been fired here. they're telling the republican party to pull the rip cord long after we have hit the ground and gone splat. seven days to go before the iowa caucus and national review saying, we should be the party of ronald reagan but not donald trump. that's great. i check, reagan is not on the ballot. the choices we have been left with, ted cruz who has thrown the conservative cause under the bus for his own political gain many times and donald trump who some voters are beginning to see as well, he's not ronald reagan, he's not the long-term future of the turnaround ceo the interim leader who can clean up our books, keep our country from going bankrupt. >> alex, you wrote just months ago that trump was a power-hungry strong man, why is suddenly the man the gop should trust? >> well, i wrote actually last august, what rich is saying in national review is not news. i wrote trum

he was a former chairman of the gop. and for someone who's been that involved in politics at a high level in south carolina for so by it. as we said, not everyone was senate majority leader harvey peeler told me he'd been seeing indications mcmaster was considering joining the trump camp. richland senator john courson says he was not terribly surprised and sees some parallels between trump's growing acceptance in some republican circles---and what happened with ronald reagan, somebody courson says also tapped into unrest within the gop with his first campaign for the white house. jack kuenzie wis news ten. trump will not be making an appearance on the main stage tonight for the fox gop debate. and senator ted cruz is calling him out. "apparently mr. trump considers megyn kelly very very scary. and you know donald is a fragile soul. she might ask a mean question and who knows what could happen. his hair could stand on end." we'll have more details on what to expect in tonight's debate in inside the state house- lawmakers

tonight's gop response to the state of the union speech came from the governor's mansion in downtown columbia. governor haley also countered the president's assessment of progress made in the past seven years. jack kuenzie joins us with more on how the governor spoke for her state and her party. charles and judi---the governor mixed sharp criticism of the obama record with an outline of her personal story and a pitch for the republican approach to fixing america's problems. in doing so---the daughter of indian immigrants rejected what she called the "siren call of the angriest voices" against those who want to come american dream. but haley also called for limits on illegal immigration and refugee resettlement. and she used last summer's deadly attack at mother emanuel church to point out that faith and unity can prevail over violence, hate and division. we didn't turn against each other's race or religion. we turned toward god and to the values that have long made our country the freest and greatest in the world. we removed a symbol that was being used to divide us and we found a st

so which gop candidate should democrats fear the most in a general election?e with reaction, former ohio congressman and fox news contributor dennis kucinich. sir, great to have you here. thank you for waking up with us. >> i want to point out, sweden doesn't have a president, they have a prime minister. >> i appreciate that. let's start with the question of who democrats should fear the most. you have been in a unique position of running for president twit. and we hear from hillary clinton saying i don't want the debates, kind of laughing at the donald trump nomination. we know that's not necessarily the reality, though. in your assessment of this, who do you think democrats should fear the most? >> donald trump, there's no question about it. i mean, donald trump has appeal with the old reagan democrats. there's a new generation of them. and donald trump certainly, from my experience in talking to people, seems to be reaching them on whether or not he'll be able to actually complete the entire election without any major faux pas remains to be seen, but he sho

they don't want to get the wrath of the gop base. at the same time, they want to reassure the general election voters this is not their party. >> what i'm hearing from you, the establishment has a fundamentally shrunk from the fight. for all the jeb bush calling donald trump the chaos candidate and running ads against him, i was looking at ad figures today. you've got huge amounts of money being dropped on anti rubio ads in iowa. as far as i can tell, i don't think there is a dollar being run against trump in iowa. >> very little money being spent against trump. some of the biggest people in the republican party, the conservative movement, the koch brothers, americans for prosperity, on the sidelines. what we're watching now is not a financial war but a political and messaging war. and it's one done even indirectly. didn't mention trump by name in the speech. >> the question is putting money where your mouth is. i've been reading things from conservatives, this is an extension crisis, we could be looking at a breakup of two parties,

to be sure, trump' s positions have powerfully connected with a plurality of gop voters. voters scared by the waves of economic and social change washing over their lives. voters who don' t believe a pledge to cut taxes will solve every problem. the gop has lost 4 out of the last 6 presidential elections. so here' s my message to candidates. like president reagan' s "morning again in america" brand of conservatism, the party needs a positive message that inspires, that' s my bottom line. you can read my thoughts on matteroffact.tv, or share your thoughts with us on twitter. i' m fernando espuelas. have a great week.
