Had successfully tested a Hydrogen Bomb to protect north korea from warmongers like the u. S. For hours after, the world waited nervously. But finally, after analyzing the shock waves, the white house calming fears. The initial analysis is not consistent with the claims that the regime has made of a successful Hydrogen Bomb test. Reporter today on the campaign trail the candidates weighing in. North korea is a paranoid, isolated nation. They are when you have a Hydrogen Bomb, if thats true, you are a threat. This underscores the gravity of the threats we are facing right now. Reporter we spent the day with republican candidate senator ted cruz. I thank you. Reporter here in iowa where away. How are you doing . Reporter ted cruz has spent here. Welcome to iowa. Reporter and the polling is in his favor. Neck. Far ahead. With rubio trailing at 14 and but some republicans worry cruz is too polarizing, too unwilling to compromise with congress, to win the general election. How can you be a president and hate the democrats and hate the culture of washington so much and be effective . I dont hate the democrats. Its Hillary Clinton who describes her, quote, enemies as republicans, as half of the country she considers her enemies. Im praying for you. Thank you very much.

Trump trumps the competition. Cruz is just at 18 . Atne Campaign Stop a cruz supporter wanted answers.

On television and in newspapers trump questioning if senator cruz can even be president since he was born in canada to an American Mother trump even suggesting democrats would have a field day challenging cruzs president ial eligibility if he gets the nomination. How do you run against the democrat, whoever it may be, and you have this hanging over your head if they bring a lawsuit . A lawsuit would take two, three years he says hes a naturally born citizen because his mother was u. S. Born, a u. S. Citizen, and as a result hes a naturalborn citizen. Well, i hope hes right. Stepping off his campaign bus this morning, cruz put it to rest. The child of a u. S. Citizen born abroad is a naturalborn citizen. Reporter donald trump a couple weeks ago talked about your ethnicity and your religion. Now hes talking about, you know, that you were born in canada. Not criticizing it but saying that you could have problems with that. Why do you think hes doing that . Oh, look, im not going to try to psychoanalyze donald trump. You know, my view, if others do you think he sees you as a threat . Youd have to ask him that. A lot of folks in the media would love to see donald and me get in a giant food fight. And im certainly not going tone gauge in that. I hope donald wont either. Reporter if im a trump supporter in iowa or anywhere for ted cruz . Well, listen, i think my record is stronger than his. And i think my record is vonger candidate running. Reporter cruz and trum have certainly played nice so far, even seemed to agree on one of the biggest issues of the campaign season, immigration.

Well increase fourfold the fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. We will end sanctuary cities. Well put in place a strongly verified system at the workplace. We will end Welfare Benefits for those here illegally. We can solve this problem. Reporter tonight on cnn trump saying cruzs immigration plan sounds very familiar. He said and we will build a wall. So now hes taking my idea for the wall. Im glad hes taking it. I think its the right thing to do. Reporter so how is cruz catching up to the trump train . One of the cornerstones of cruzs support here in iowa and around the country is his faith. We need those prayers desperately. Reporter cruz is also trying to show voters another side. Staying strong with the help of a fitbit. Do you go up and down steps . That is awesome. Reporter and making voters laugh with comedy bits like his impressions. Maguire. You had me at hello.
