Trump says he will be the ‘great unifier’
“A super PAC with ties to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is shutting down in an effort to put an end to building questions about the closeness of the two operations, the group’s lead consultant said Thursday”.
On the campaign trail in Florida on Saturday, Trump bashed two recent polls that showed he’s in second in Iowa and drew attention to Carson’s faith – a Protestant denomination that believes in the imminent return of Jesus Christ and observes Saturday as Sabbath instead of Sunday as most Christians.
As he settles in the top tier of Republican presidential candidates, Rubio, the Florida senator, is increasingly willing to slam his primary rivals.
An Associated Press-GfK poll finds that Republican voters view Donald Trump as their strongest general election candidate.
“No, not at all”, Trump said.
Like Trump, the retired neurosurgeon has tapped into the powerful wave of antiestablishment anger defining the early phases of the 2016 contest.
“Moving forward, if he’s the nominee of the Republican Party, I think that’s a matchup that works very well for us”, he told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos on This Week. “I really think that was a huge mistake in the last cycle and I’m certainly not going to get into that, no matter what anybody says”.
“We feel very good about where we are today in terms of winning the nomination”, said Podesta, who served as chief of staff to former President Bill Clinton and as an adviser to President Barack Obama. “I’d never say bad about any religion”. In the terrifying hypothetical that Trump were actually elected 45th President they don’t really have any sense of what he’d do in office. ‘I mean stranger things have happened’. “There was a time when I was, you know, very volatile”. “I think it is generally agreed that it’s much more hard to dominate people who are armed than people who are not armed”.
Despite Carson’s advances in Iowa, Trump still leads the Republican presidential pack in several national polls. According to the Religion Dispatches, the progressive writer also says Carson’s statements that the “Holocaust occurred because Nazis would not allow Germans to carry guns” are “offensive” because they are “exactly opposed to Adventist teaching…your decision not to act [with violence] is where you have power”.
“I get these two polls – and remember, I don’t believe them, I don’t believe them – in Iowa. It was playing off fears of a lot of Americans”, Sanders said during an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union”. But he seems like he’s not quite all there or thinking out loud in a way that is vaguely endearing but not at all what people look for in a head of state. Now, we would argue, it is easier to see him getting out.
And on Friday, Trump whacked Carson using one of his favorite attack lines – that the candidate had low energy.
Trump suggested he wouldn’t apologize to Carson over the comments.
“My energy levels are perfectly fine”, Carson said in Iowa.
Apparently, in his first political organizing task – putting in place a competent team and abiding by legal requirements – Trump failed. “I wasn’t always like that”, Carson continued.
“My personal interactions with him have shown him to be a gentleman”, Carson said.
