KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 9am January 29, 2016

The 9. A live look at the festivities in San Francisco. In case you have been under that rock, you know super bowl 50 is coming to go the bay area. We are in full swing. We have a report coming up from super bowl city. We have our reporters fanning out everywhere. Along with gasia, mike, i am sal. Good morning. We are going to be at super bowl city at our studio there starting monday for the 9. When you joining us on monday, thats what you get to see. A lot of people coming into town for super bowl. Our twitter question today is this. If you could take all of these out of town visitors somewhere thats not in all the guide books and magazines, your secret spot in San Francisco or anywhere else in the bay area, let us know where you that is a great question. I was thinking about it this morning. A great question. Clear day. You can see the sierra nevada. When you can see the sierra nevada, you have to have a sierra. Its not going to be in our lists is fishermans wharf, right . No. What do you do that you love in the bay area that you wish everyone knew about . Let us know. Use the ktvuthe9. I like that question. You are in that question. All right. We have to go to business here. The Republican Debate before the iowa caucus has promised as promised donald trump was a no show. His presence was felt on stage. Ktvus political reporter ross polumbo is in iowa. He was at the debate last night. Ross, a lot of people say donald trump won even though he didnt show up. Reporter well, good morning you guys. Everyone is actually saying that this morning. You know, donald trump himself this morning is out. Fox news apologized right up into the debate time hoping he would show up. He said it was simply too little, too late. He carried on with his veterans fundraiser. He raised some 6 million on a separate stage in des moines, iowa. But over here on this side on this stage the debate went on without him. But as you say, his presence certainly was felt. Take a listen. Lets address the elephant not in the room tonight. I am a maniac and everyone on this stage is stupid fat and ugly. And ben, youre a terrible surgeon. Now that we have gotten the donald trump portion out of the way. Reporter trump came up again and again. But they did take on more traditional topics. Foreign and domestic terrorism were first up. Google says that they are the number one issue that viewers want to hear about, but it was immigration where the biggest sparks flew last night. Fox showed clip after clip of ted cruz and marco rubio flipflopping. Its the first time that has happened during a debate. Then they asked them to explain. Listen to this. Havent you proven that you cannot be trusted on this issue . No, because if you look at the quote, and its specific, and it says blanket amnesty you used to support a path to citizenship. So did you. So did you, marco. Jeb bush took on russian owe russian owe. Donald trump was on top even though he was not there last night. The big question this morning is, who won . Google was actually tracking that this morning as well, and they are saying that 29 of people on google believe that rubio won. 17 believe trump one. 15 believe rand paul won. Ted cruz wasnt in the top three. I can tell you most analysts believe that ted cruz came out on top. Most analysts believe he is going to do well in iowa. He has the largest ground game from 12,000 volunteers out there to get his people to the caucuses. Here in iowa, that is the name of the game. For now thats the latest live in des moines. I am ross polumbo. Back to you. Thank you very much. Joining us now is political analyst brian sobel. I want to ask you, ted cruz is so uncomfortable even when he was delivering that joke. I think we are beginning to see a window as why a lot of people dont like the man . He is hard to read and he is not very well liked in the United States senate. He goes often on his own tangents and that sort of thing. Doesnt kind of play well with others. And you can see that. It comes out on stage. I thought rubio and bush had a fantastic debate. Youre right. And i know rubio was drilled on the immigration issue. He appeared polished. He touched on what a lot of iowaans are passionate about, and that was religion. He talked about being a christian. Twothirds of them are evangelical christians. That would have played and is play well with then. The other thing to consider, too, is that while everybody was taking shots at cruz, as the frontrunner, rubio i thought slipped in and did a good job. I thought he had a very good night. I thought jeb bush had a good night. Better than previous debates. John kasich continues to turn in wonderfully statistical numbers. He cant get over hump. This was the only debate in iowa so far. Yeah. He didnt debate in it, donald trump. Is that going to play a role . That remains to be seen because if people cared or didnt care, they are going to utilize that when they go to vote. If people were on the fence before this debate between cruz and trump . They might fall on the cruz side of things. The fact that last night was the Second Lowest rated debate of the cycle, is it because donald trump wasnt there or because people are just no. Sadly, it is that with donald trump not being there, a lot of people actually were watching the counter event. Thats right. Trumps event. It got bigger numbers than trumps counter event . It did. But the total numbers were down. You know, for better or worse, donald trump attracts people to the show. Caucuses are different. Yes. You are not going to a little booth and punching a hole. You are having a conversation. I am curious about the next 48 hours. Do the candidates page for the people they know will caucus for them or people who are 5050 . Both, mike. What they do is youve got a ground army, as it were, out there at all the caucuses talking with people and that sort of thing. Then the candidates make specific appearances where they think they can push the caucus over the top. It is unlike anything else. You may have a caucus meeting in a big gymnasium with republicans on one side and dems on the other. Its really, when you are out there in these states where people to people really matter, its interesting to watch. I was once doing something in nebraska where if all the candidates didnt show up at mrs. Smiths house kind of thing. Right, right. You were out. Right. Youre out. We have a short time left. Is trump going to be the nominee, if you have to choose today . I dont believe he will be at the end of the day. Does he win iowa . Yeah, he wins iowa. Thank you, brian sobel. Thank you. We are looking at the weather now. Rosmary orozco, i heard that we are Getting Better news about the weather surrounding super bowl city and even the game itself . Youre right.
