Trump said his own previous support for the bank bailouts following the financial collapse and President Obama’s stimulus program came before he was a candidate for public office.
The raucous crowd that showed up Sunday night seemed eager to answer that question with a chant they repeated as Sanders prepared to speak.
“People are really enthusiastic and if people come out to vote, I think you’re going to look at one of the biggest political upsets in the modern history of our country”, he told CNN.
Speaking at a Veterans of Foreign Wars hall in Merrimack, Kasich says he plans to govern by forming coalitions to get things done.
Cruz also went on the offense against Trump.
Cruz took to the airwaves to challenge the conservative credentials of Rubio, the Floridian running third in Iowa, according to the polls.
SEN. TED CRUZ: Listen, we are drawing contrast, both trump and marco are attacking me. they’re attacking me with all their might.

Clinton said she had been subjected to “years of scrutiny, and I’m still standing”.
Sanders also would not address reports that the Clinton campaign is training its caucus leaders to potentially throw some support behind long-shot candidate former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley in order to blunt potential Sanders gains as a means of exploiting the complicated Iowa caucus rules.
A majority of conservative likely voters say they support either Trump or Cruz, while the same two candidates combine for less than 30% of moderate or liberal primary voters.
“Because I think our campaign is the campaign that is generating excitement and energy that will result in a high voter turnout”.
In the Republican caucus, Trump leads Texas Sen. For results among the sample of likely Republican primary voters, the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.8 percentage points, it is 5.3 for results among likely Democratic voters.
Iowa has an unusual election system called a caucus, which involves people gathering at sites across the state at 19:00 local time (01:00 GMT Tuesday).
