Iowa Republican presidential forum on minority issues canceled

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson’s mild-mannered, soft-spoken demeanor – which helped endear him to many citizens within the 1st place – now seems to be working against him, while Sen. Ted Cruz’s tell-it-like-it-is, in-your-face style is now raising his stock.

Organizers of the Iowa Brown & Black Presidential Forum said Friday that plans to have an event in Iowa next month featuring the Republican presidential candidates discussing issues important to minorities has been canceled because of “unresolved scheduling conflicts”.

A new CBS News/YouGov poll of Iowa Republicans puts Cruz in second with 21 percent, only behind Donald Trump’s 30 percent. However the biggest gainer was Cruz, who soared in to 2nd place with 21 %. Sen.

“We’re seeing universities all across this country with leftist, coddled kids – usually with trust funds – protesting against frightful aggression, because the micro-aggression [of] ‘I heard a word that scared me, ‘ ” the Texas senator said, reports The Des Moines Register”.

“But he’s changed his position, and that’s fine, he has a right to do that”, Rubio said. “You expect them to fizzle out, but I think it’s better to start slower”. “This forum will provide a great vehicle to have meaningful conversations with several Presidential candidates that will get to the heart of those issues”. Also on Cruz’s to-do list is the completion of his 99 Iowa Pastors initiative, a key part of his outreach to the evangelical community that aims to designate a supportive faith leader in every county in the state. The Forum, on TV and online, will be held in Des Moines three weeks before Iowans gather for their caucuses.

“Tone matters”, Cruz says in an Associated Press interview.
