Five stars or a big bust. Hey, everyone, good wednesday morning. Im reena ninan. Im richard bacon, and we begin this morning with the aftermath from last nights president ial candidates debate. The nine top candidates on the stage in las vegas. Most of the action was right there at center stage involving donald trump, senator ted cruz and jeb bush. Bush and trump squaring off several times but shaking hands after the debate was finished. Abcs Stephanie Ramos has the details live from washington. Stephanie, good morning. Reporter good morning to you, richard and reena. Well, this final debate of the year focused on National Security and terrorism, and the verbal punches came out swinging almost immediately. Postgop president ial debate, donald trump sympathizing with his competition. I like jeb. I think jeb is a nice man. I really do but, you know, i think id do the same thing if i were him, id be attacking me. Reporter on stage the gloves coming off. Youre a tough guy, jeb. We need to have a leader youre tough. Youre never going to be president of the United States by insulting your way youre real tough. Reporter jeb bush and donald trump wasting no time to spar over Foreign Policy. He gets his Foreign Policy experience from the shows. Come on. That is not a serious kind of candidate. I know youre trying to build up your energy, jeb, but its not working very well. Please, one at a time. Reporter in their fifth debate faceoff, almost every question focusing on National Security for the nine leading candidates with trumps proposal to ban muslims from entering the u. S. At the forefront. Were not talking about religion. Were talking about security. Our country is out of control. Reporter marco rubio and ted cruz also clashing, first over the nsas bulk surveillance program, then immigration. Rubio suggesting the two of them have similar positions on the issue. For marco to suggest our record is the same is like suggesting the fireman and the arsonist have the same record because theyre both at the scene of the fire. I personally am open to allowing people to apply for a green card. We will build a wall that works, and ill get donald trump to pay for it. [ laughter and applause ] ill build it. Reporter trump and cruz neck and neck in the polls but staying friendly throughout the debate, and governor Chris Christie boasting about his executive experience while jabbing at the senators. If your eyes are glazed over like mine, this is what its like to be on the floor of the United States senate. Reporter Chris Christie hammering the senators there on stage, but they actually got more air time than he did. Ted cruz, he spoke the most, more than 17 minutes, followed by trump and rubio. Richard and reena, back to you. Trumps comment to bush, im at 42 , youre at 3 , thats got to hurt, right . Thats got to hurt. What did trump say about running as an independent, stephanie . Reporter well, this is a pledge that weve heard before, right, but last night trump said once again he will not run as an independent. He added hes committed to the Republican Party and is honored to be the frontrunner. Okay, well see what happens. Stephanie ramos live in washington. Steph, thank you for that report. Thank you so much. In the spin room after the debate, donald trump characteristically called last night his best debate performance in the history of the world. No, he said, so far. One candidate who had a hard time breaking through was one time frontrunner dr. Ben carson. An cysts say they seemed to be a victim of circumstance in the race. I think that probably the thing that came out of this was the continual slide of ben carson, who led at one point in time and then afterward the tragic events in france when people started focusing more on these issues related to security, he started falling. I think in the course of this debate that fall continues and my expectation is ben carson will be in seventh or eighth place by the next couple of weeks. But donald trump out of this debate is still the dominant player in the gop. Dowd also saying there were two winners in the debate, marco rubio and Chris Christie. Donald trump dominated the chatter on social media, as you can imagine, during the debate. Yeah, believe it or not he was the most searched candidate according to google trends and he also gained the most twitter followers during the debate and the top tweeted moment came when trump called jeb bush a tough guy. That was fun to watch. It was. Later its often i think that debate is better watched through highlights, as well. I think you saw the best moments there. So later in the pulse, the comment that had Chris Christie trending all night, plus Live Team Coverage later on good morning america. And be sure to watch the democratic debate this saturday night hosted by abcs david muir, martha raddatz. Coverage begins at 8 00 eastern. Itll be great. Ahead of that debate frontrunner Hillary Clinton is providing new details about her plan to battle isis. Speaking to an audience in minneapolis, clinton said the u. S. Needs a 360degree strategy to prevent domestic terrorism. She positioned herself as the more serious and experienced candidate compared to her republican rivals. It is not enough to contain isis, we must defeat isis, break its momentum and then its back. What they are saying democratic rival Bernie Sanders says he intends to question clinton about Foreign Policy during the debate including her votes in favor of the iraq war when she was a u. S. Senator from new york. About 650,000 students in los angeles will be back in class today after an unscheduled day off. Thats because of a terror threat. That threat was emailed to a School Board Member promising an attack with guns and bombs. Administrators admitted that following fears from the San Bernardino attack influenced the decision to close the schools. Schools in new york were open yesterday despite the School Superintendent receiving almost the same exact email that was sent to l. A. The email was declared a hoax. New yorks Police Commissioner said the type of threat it contained was similar to recent episodes of the showtime drama homeland.

With abreva. After a dvt blood clot. Mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you.

Wayne newton hanging out with donald trump. Remember the debate was in las vegas, of course. And the official u. S. Opening for star wars the force awakens is this friday but the reviews already out. They are. The embargo ended an hour ago, weve seen it ourselves last night. The New York Times says it delivers the thrills with a touch of humanity and the big news is that the movie is good. The film opens today in britain and the times of london and britains Daily Telegraph both gave it five stars. But its not all good reviews actually. The Los Angeles Times says the force awakens is, quote, only at its best in fits and starts. And the Chicago Tribune says it is good but not great. Still it says thats much better than not bad. Star wars like abc is part of disney. I think it does deliver. I think it does, but its the last scene that got me and then i thought, oh, why did j. J. Abrams do that to us. When is the next one oh, why did i fall asleep during the film, which you did. Just for a second. I was a little tired. This early shift can be tough on a gal. And missed the dramatic twist because you were looking at the back of your eyelids. But you know what it does really well, although there are funny lines in it, it takes the story seriously, which i think you have to do for a film like that to really work. It was a compelling story. Yeah, it was. And i think that they play again on the father son relationship. There are lots of nods to the old films but also they press the same emotional buttons and they do it well. Well said.
