Stage. Please welcome the candidates. Reporter the first forum wasnt technically a debate but felt like a preview. On monday night, 14 president ial hopefuls for the republican ticket took the stage at the college in New Hampshire. The candidates discussing their policies. Some using their oneonone time with the moderator to dole out punches against democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. She lied about benghazi. She has, as well lied about her servers and the kinds of information she had on her server. These go to the core of her character. Reporter senator Lindsey Graham positioned himself as the best to take on the clintons. I have been dealing with clintons for 20 years. Im fluent in clinton speech. When bill says i didnt have sex with that woman, he did. When she says i will tell you about building the pipeline when i am president means she wont. When she tells us trust me you got all the emails you need, we havent scratched the surface. I understand this crowd. Can beat them. If we dont beat them, it doesnt matter. Reporter absent from the stage, the gop frontrunner. Hes surging above the rest in polls by bloomberg and monmouth ever university. Hes leading the closest by double digits. The donald said he doesnt think you can artificially prepare for Something Like a debate. The unconventional debate prep from a candidate further fueling his performance in this thursdays debate. John kasich says hes not worried. Neighbor i will give him a hug, i dont know. I dont think about all of that. Itis not important. Whats important to me is what i say. Let people see, theres going to be so much time between now and then. Reporter now, trump did not come up at all during last nights forum. They were focused on talking up their own views. A sign of those sharing the stage with him thursday night are going to do the best to keep their focus on them not the frontrunner. Donald trump says he clearly won the debate even though he wasnt there. Planned parenthood will not be defunded. They kept the gop from a veto proof 60 votes. The fight is not over. Some are using the s word, shutting down the government unless something is done about planned parenthood. What will that something be that is satisfying. Joe johnson joins us now with more. Do you have an answer to that one . Not yet. Not so far, chris. This was blocked on a vote of 5346. Well short of the 60 votes needed to move that measure along. The issue of Defunding Planned Parenthood is not likely to go away if critics of the organization have anything to say about it. Two democrats sided with republicans on the measure, which would have taken away 500 million in funding. If first legislative fallout from the controversial videos. They put a spotlight on Fetal Tissue Research. Yes, it is likely to come up again in september, if there is another fight over shutting down the government. Thats why its not over yet. Many republicans seeing it and hoping they can swing the issue in their favor. In the race for the white house, three republican candidates left the campaign trail in order to participate in the vote in d. C. Back to you. All right, joe, thanks for all that background. Joining us is cnn politics reporter jay and sar ra. Great to have both of you with us. Jay, lets start with you. What do you think the headlines were . The 14 candidates on stage were thrilled donald trump was not there. That meant the headlines we saw were not dominated by what donald trump did or didnt say, which is unusual these days. I tuned in to see what the callers were saying. People were talking about George Pataki and other candidates like Chris Christie. These candidates since trump got into the race hes sucked up the energy from the room. Last night was an opportunity to get coverage and be able to tell the voters particularly in New Hampshire, what they are about. This is a popularity contest. Sarah, as much as we like to have fun about donald trump because of what he likes to provide, these new polls, you cant ignore them. He is clearly out in front. What is the best answer to why . Yeah i think the reality is when you look at the polls, we are not talking 10 , 12 , the polls have him with support from one in four voters. Hes speaking to a wider set of the Republican Party than we thought. At first, we thought they were angry, disenfranchised voters. Thats not the case. There is a broader dissatisfaction with washington. A broader dissatisfaction with politicians. What you will see is other candidates try to harness that not take on trump directly but try to talk about washington and how it needs to be fixed, how it is broken and how we need to change things and hope when trump does get out of the race f that happens, they can then pick up his supporters. Sarah and mj lets look at the latest fox poll. This is asounding. Hes at 26 . Jeb bush 15 , then walker 9 and down from there. This is an all time high for him. He has doubled his numbers over the past month or two. So mj to sarahs point, 26 arent just angry people. Thats bigger than angry people. They are enthusiastic people. I think sarah is right, we are not just talking 12 , 13 . When you have double digit leads over everyone else in a crowded field, you are the leader of the Republican Party right now. The question for donald trump Going Forward is can he bring up specific policy proposals that make his lead more than a temporary one month, two month fling. He has struggled. He was in an interview with dana bash. She pressed him on specific policy details, he couldnt go there on immigration and obamacare. When the voters look to him as the party of the leader is that sustainable. Hes not saying here is a detailed proposal of how to move the country forward. Sometimes you are right. You are right, period. Sometimes the voters will do it on a visceral level, not intellectual. They wont grade him as if hes on a test. He is getting a pass for the vetting of candidates because of the discontent and whats seen as freshness and candor. Its lifting him up. Conversely Hillary Clinton is going the other way in the fox poll. What is your read on that . Hillary clintons numbers are interesting. The Biggest Issue for hillary are people who see her as not trustworthy. Shes 51 up 22 against sanders. She has a wide lead. The problem for Hillary Clinton is voters dont trust her and dont think they can believe in her. Thats the shift shes made from secretary of state to a candidate. People are looking at her now through the lens of a politician. They dont like what they see. For trump, its easy to give someone the benefit of the doubt. They need to believe you are capable of being president and feel comfortable with you as a person. Voting for president is a very personal vote. As you pointed out, its more than a policy proposal. How do you feel about this person. Lets talk about what jumped out from the forum. It was an interesting set up arrangement. Each candidate get on stage and hoisted themselves on to a stool, i found. They were asked questions for a few minutes. The next one out. Three for a satellite from washington because they were voting on the planned parenthood bill. Were there are stumbles . Yeah people were calling it the gop political speed dating. They didnt get a lot of time on the stage, but it was an opportunity to talk about the policy issues they were interested in. Jeb bush did not have a strong performance. He seemed nervous. People were talking about it on social media. Seemed nervous, uncomfortable. He was trying to tell a story of buying a tshirt that said his dad was the greatest but his delivery was off. I am hoping this is his rehearsal and using last night to shake off the nerves and not have a repeat of that on thursday with a bigger audience more people are going to be watching. Not to mention, the wild card donald trump is going to be on stage. The wild card. Looking at last night sara who popped . I dont know that anyone did. People were into George Pataki. I think people see more of carly feeiorina and like what they see. What we saw is not a good presur sor for thursday. This is candidates going around answering questions, not a lot of interaction with one another. One we know about previous debates, thats what drives the headline when you see the candidates play off one another and get unscripted moments. That gives a window into what they would be like as president more than anything else. Its not planned. Its how are you reacting with this stress this stimulus in the moment. We are going to see more of that on thursday than what we saw last night. Thanks for the analysis. Coming up in the next hour we will talk about the fight over planned parenthood funding with the executive Vice President , dawn. Also in the 8 00 hour we will hear from david, the man behind the sting videos that fuelled the funding battle. Stick around for all of that. Michaela . Darren wilson is breaking his silence. The former Missouri Police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown says hes not haunted by his actions and was just doing his job. Browns family say that proves hes racist. Boris sanchez has more with the article. Repeatedly in the piece, Darren Wilson is trying to move away from what happened in ferguson. He literally has moved away to a new home. He has new daughter born in march. His name isnt on the deed to the property where he lives. Even though hes trying to stay out of the spotlight, the comments coming close to the eve of Michael Browns death are stirring controversy. Darren wilson speaking out almost a year after shooting and killing unarmed 18yearold Michael Brown. A new photo of the former ferguson Police Officer accompanying an over 20page indepth interview in a magazine. The reporter says the now 29yearold lives in an undisclosed new home. I want a normal life. Reporter far from his wish in an interview, wilson says he will only go to places where there are like minded individuals and its not a mixing pot. And about the death that sparked National Outrage wilson says he doesnt think of Michael Brown as a person because, quote, it doesnt matter at this point. When asked if he thought brown was a bad guy, wilson said i only knew him for those 45 seconds in which he was trying to kill me, so i dont know. Browns family is not surprised. So many inconsistencies in the article. It perpetuates the view of wilson being selfserving. Wilson has not read the justice departments report on the racism in ferguson. The former cop says hes not going to keep living in the past. Wilson says if you live in a high crime area with a lot of poverty, theres going to be a large police presence. He claims its not a race issue. He goes on to say, in ferguson theres a lack of initiative to get a job. The youth are running in the streets, he says not worry about working in the morning. The 29yearold claim that is culture is everywhere in the inner cities. Darren wilson is no racist. I know him well. I think the article misrepresent who is he is. Wilson said hes interviewed in other Police Departments but has not been hired because he is a liability. He wants to go back to the ferguson Police Officer department to prove he isnt defeated. Interesting. A lot of security risks reaching out to other departments for jobs. Its certainly been an impact on his life. Boris, thank you very much.

Out rage this morning after a kentucky sheriffs deputy is caught on tape handcuffing an 8yearold boy for misbehaving. The boy has adhd. Now the aclu is suing on behalf of the boy and a 9yearold girl who was restrained by the same officer. Martin savidge is live with more in atlanta. Good morning. Good morning, alisyn. You have to think there had to be a better way of handling this. The video you are about to see occurred in november of 2014. Its come to light now because of a lawsuit filed on monday by the aclu. Take a look. You need to behave or suffer the consequences. Its your decision to behave this way. Reporter this controersial video is difficult to watch. The sheriffs deputy facing a federal lawsuit by the aclu restrains the third grade boy with handcuffs. The boys hands pulled with Excessive Force behind his back. He can be heard crying out in pain. The small, 8yearold child who, according to the lawsuit suffers from disabilities from adhd and history of trauma. Hes cuffed at the biceps. His wrists are too small for the adult constraints. It hurts. Sit down in the chair like i have asked you to. Reporter that officer works at the elementary identified. The sheriff of Kenton County alleging his failure to adequately train and supervise him. If you want the handcuffs off, you have to ask nicely. If you are behaving i will take them off. If you are acting up you are not going to get them up. Reporter the complaint was submitted on behalf of the boy. And a 9yearold girl was handcuffed in the same manner by the same officer on two occasions causing pain and trauma. There was no legitimate Law Enforcement purpose there. Neither child committed a crime. All of their behavior was due to their specific disabilities. Look at me. If you want the handcuffs off, you have to stop. Do you want them off or not . Cnn reached out to the School District and the sheriffs office. We have not had any response. In a Statement Given as part of the investigative report the deputies actions were explained the child refused directives from the teacher of vice principal and tried to swing with his elbows against the officer. Again, to watch that really really tough to see. Chris . Tough to watch, but you have to listen to what hes saying also. Its going to go to the justification of the action. Lets go to cnn Law Enforcement analyst and cnn political commentator. I am not reference what is the sheriff said because i like to see kids get hurt. Im not referencing it because im just a journalist. It is relevant to an analysis of this situation. This is not a random cop who got called to the scene where
