Ted Cruz, the victor in Iowa, has slipped a bit in the most recent New Hampshire polls, owing perhaps to voter wariness of aggressive Cruz campaign tactics in Iowa that retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson decried as “dirty tricks” and un-Christian besides.

Chris Christie told a campaign rally in Bedford on Saturday that Trump would be welcomed back to the stage “with open arms”, and the New Jersey governor was thrilled that “none of you people made enough fun of Donald Trump to make him not come tonight”.
“He simply does not have the experience to be the president of the United States and make these decisions”, Christie said.
Seven Republicans seeking the party’s nomination to run for the White House are due to return to the stage in the latest TV debate.
“The Keystone pipeline – without eminent domain, you wouldn’t go 10 feet, OK?”
In the ABC Republican debate Saturday, Chris Christie husked Rubio like an Iowa corn cob, reveling him to be unripened. “The drive-by shot at the beginning with incorrect and incomplete information and then the memorised 25-second speech that is exactly what his advisers gave him”.
Republican presidential candidate, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Republican presidential candidate, businessman Donald Trump spar as Republican presidential candidate, Sen.

When the crowd booed, Mr Trump said: “That’s all his donors and special interests out there”.
On the subject of immigration, Ohio Governor John Kasich said he “couldn’t even imagine” ripping families apart by deporting immigrants living in the country illegally and that doing so did not match American values. Christie said. “Every morning when I wake up, I think about what kind of problem do I need to solve for the people who actually elected me?” Last night he was wet on his forehead from sweating out attacks from Christie.
Cruz bypassed an early chance to tussle with Trump, refusing to repeat his criticism from earlier this week that he did not have the temperament for the White House. Or the more familiar Trump persona that raged against Cruz the next day on Twitter, accusing him of stealing the win and demanding a re-vote?
Trump and Rubio have taken flak from competitors as candidates launched an all-out offensive across New Hampshire.
