Reporter but overnight a quick stop in south carolina. I almost want to just go in and pray. Reporter trump hopes his lastminute New Hampshire blitz will deliver a better result than iowa. His team of volunteers going door to door. We just wanted to send out a reminder, hand you a reminder and see if we can get your support for m trump on tuesday. Reporter and were with them trudging through the snow. Its freezing. Is it worth it . I think its absolutely worth it. We have to take back our country and not let it be in the wreck that its in. Reporter but ted cruz has a ground army of his own. Hello. Oh, wow. Reporter theyre showing the type of dedication that helped cruz win in iowa. And i are Walking Around here is probably not going to change a lot of hearts and minds individually. Reporter you never know. If its one vote its worth it. Reporter senator cruz hoping to extend his winning streak talking up an issue critical to New Hampshire voters. The reason the Second Amendment is in the bill of rights, each and every one of us has a god given right to defend our home, to defend our family and to defend our children. Reporter but cruz is feeling the pressure. Rubio surging in the polls, the target on his back getting bigger. His record of accomplishment is slim. Hes willing to break his word to the voters and make deals with democrats. We know who the boy in the bubble is up here. Reporter rubio feels the attacks are growing because his campaign is taking off. If y get a call on tuesday night saying that i dropped out, it isnt true. Its a lie, keep voting. Reporter now, rubio, of course, referring to the cruz campaigns effort on caucus day in iowa suggesting that dr. Ben carson was dropping out of the race. Dr. Carson.

Tom llamas whos been covevering thicampaign every step of the way, tom, thank you. Lets get some pregame analysis now with abc political analyst matthew dowd who is also right there in the debate hall. Hey, matt, gooood mornin i guess my first question is how high are the stakes generally tonight . Reporter i mean, i think tonight is the most important event in the republican race up until this time. It sets everything up for super i mean for tuesday in New Hampshire and this moment with all seven on stage, each of them has a huge stake in whats going to happen tonight. All right, so lets talk about what t individual candidates need to do tonight. Trump is leading in the polls buothers have been gaining on him, so how does he maintain poll position . Repeporter ihink donald trump, he needs to make sure that hes about ten points up right now. There and i think one of the ways to do that, be strong but he actually needs to deliver in a very calm and steady way, not in the manner hes done in previous debates b stightforward but exceedingly calm and cool. Exceedingly calm and cool. Well see if he can gohere. And marco rubio got the best bounce out of iowa. Hes now in send place in the polls. What do you think his strategy is going to be tonight in ththe face of the inevitable attacks from his rivals . Reporter well, you know, its interesting, marco rubio finished third in iowa, but he stepped all over ted cruz who finished first in iowa, and ted cruz hasnt gotten any lift out of iowa. I think marco rubio something is going to be under assault by everybody on that stage especially the governors or former governors trying to figure out a way to move on from here. I think what youll see tonight is basical Everybody Knows that theres only four tickets out of New Hampshireo of those here once tuesday voting starts. As you said, stakes incredibly high, matthew dowd, we appreciate your anasis on saturday morning. Then there would be four. As we head into tonights debate were getting a glimpse in the candidates pregame rituals courtesy of the website the independent journal review. Check it out. My favorite thing to do on the day of the debate is play plants versus zombies on my iphone with my two girls. Siri, what questions will david muir be asking at the New Hampshire debate . Before debate i normally call my mom to get advice. Interesting. I didnt knothere was a zombie game that he was playing. Thats an odd way to prepare. Download that now, dan. Im all over it. Abcs david muir and Martha Raddatz will be moderating tonights debate. Theyve got a preview now from the debate hall. Hey, dan and paula, good morning. Were just now hours away from the seven gop candidates taking the stage right here behind martha and me in manchchter, New Hampshire. A donald trump will be at the center because he is the frontrunner based on polling, cruz and rubio will be on either side of him, and thats the top three. But theres going to be a lot of focus on the other four, bush, theyre looking for their moment in the spotlight, really looking to survive the race so theyre going to make their case certainly to voters right here in new hampsre to try to change the course of the race.

How are you . Reporter clinton says shes confident despite the polls. Numbers go up and go down. We have a strategy and feel good about t it. Reporter heated rivalry cent stage in their debate this week. I think its time to end the ry artful smear that you and your campaign have been carrying out. Lets talk about issues. Reporter and clinton is still not holding back. You seemed like you walked out there ready for a fight. Im tired of the innuendo, the insinuation, the smear from a campaign that says its running a positive campaign. Reporr sanders slamming her ties to wall street. Madam secretary, it is not one street. In my view, the Business Model of wall street is fraud. Reporter but clinton is still not saying whether she will release transcripts from paid speeches to groups like goldman sachs. Why y not justut theout there and put this line of attack to you know, we will look into it. I said that but lets get to whats really going on. It is a smear. Nobody buys me.
