WHAT ELSE?

Donald Trump has promised to boycott, but expect his absence to be felt greatly.

Expect Ted Cruz especially to focus his attacks on Trump, and the other candidates to try to get some oxygen now that the GOP frontrunner ill not be there.

Jeb Bush’s resurgence in New Hampshire may offer the flailing former Florida governor some new moxie.

Expect questions about the economy, immigration, veterans’ issues, and, given the Iowa audience, faith and ethanol.

Hillary Clinton of course will also be the candidates other main target, although given Bernie Sanders’ polling performance, smart moderators would begin to turn their questions to his campaign to “trump” the candidates…
