No more “under-card,” no more clown-car jokes -- Americans on Saturday night will see lean GOP presidential field in the party’s eighth official televised debate.

With three Republican candidates suspending their campaign after last week’s Iowa Caucus, a field of seven will share the stage, ahead of such inevitable questions as who’s the prime target for attacks and which candidates have the most to lose.

National frontruer Donald Trump has dominated the 2016 GOP election cycle and public polls but finds himself in the unusual position of having to mount a comeback after losing.

Trump lost in Iowa to conservative firebrand Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz. The billionaire businessman leads Cruz and the rest of the Republican field by double-digits going into the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday and is projected to win.

However, polls are occasionally unreliable, and the primary season is just getting started.

Trump will as the front-ruer face much of the attacks.

But after wiing Iowa with some questionable, eleventh-hour tactics, Cruz will also be a likely target.

Joining Cruz and Trump at the ABC debate at St. Anselm College, in New Hampshire, are Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.

After poor showings in the Iowa caucus, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, former Sen. Rick Santorum and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee suspended their campaigns.

Ex Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina and former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore failed to qualify for the debate.

“Disney's ABC may continue to attempt to steal the New Hampshire primary for their chosen establishment candidates but the voters of New Hampshire know better,” Fiorina spokeswoman Sara Isgur Flores told FoxNews.com on Saturday.

Before New Hampshire, the GOP field was so big that TV networks had to hold an "under card" or early debate for the second-tier candidates.

In the days before the Iowa Caucus, the Cruz camp sent a mailer to prospective caucus-goers suggested they had committed voting violations that could be resolved by picking Cruz.

And Cruz supporters seized upon a news report that Carson was retuing to his Florida home after the balloting to imply that he was quitting the race.

Most polls show Rubio now in second place behind Trump in New Hampshire, with Christie, Kasich and Bush desperately needing to do well to keep their campaigns alive. That situation could result in those candidates piling on Rubio.

Bush in recent days has deployed his family to help with his struggling campaign, including his mother, Barbara Bush.

Trump tweeted Saturday: Wow, Jeb Bush, whose campaign is a total disaster, had to bring in mommy to take a slap at me. Not nice!”
