Republican hopefuls poke fun at Trump after
his refusal to show up in the final debate
before voting begins in Iowa.
US Republican presidential candidates strained
to take advantage of Donald Trump's absence
in Thursday's presidential debate, mocking the
frontrunner for boycotting the last contest
before voting begins.
Trump withdrew from the final debate in Des
Moines, Iowa, in a row with Fox News after the
broadcaster refused to drop host Megyn Kelly,
whom he accused of unfair treatment.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who is locked in a
tight contest with Trump in Iowa, opened the
event with a sarcastic impression of the real
estate mogul's frequent insults of his
opponents.
"I'm a maniac and everyone on this stage is
stupid, fat and ugly, and Ben, you're a terrible
surgeon," Cruz told his rivals, including Ben
Carson, a retired neurosurgeon. "Now that
we've gotten the Donald Trump portion out of
the way," he continued.
