Ben Carson dives in national polls

There were a lot of happy people over in New Jersey.

“And it’s a great example when the war on women came up”, Cruz said. “I’ve seen what it can do”, he said.

“He definitely goes against the grain and we really like that”, Foster says. The Iowa primary is on February 1. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, who impress him and echo his deeply conservative views on such things as abortion, same-sex marriage, and immigration.

Cruz says his approach is modeled after Republican hero Ronald Reagan’s after the 1980 election. “I think that made no sense”, said Cruz, according to Bloomberg Politics.

“I’m the only person on that stage who has actually fought terrorism”, said Christie, a federal prosecutor during the George W. Bush administration, adding that he “knows how to use those tools, and knows how to bring to terrorism to heel”. PolitiFact reports Cruz was one of 32 senators who voted against the bill, which would have allowed a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who could prove they entered the country before 1982. He made no reference to the Friday shooting in Colorado Springs at a Planned Parenthood facility, but renewed his pledge that he would instruct the Department of Justice to investigate the health care provider on his first day in the White House.

He considers his notoriety among the GOP establishment a badge of honor. Ted Cruz weakened national security-a frequent attack from Sen.

Trump, for his part, remains steady on the top of the national polls, the undisputed frontrunner less than two months from the Iowa caucuses.

In the ballot test, Cruz is now at 16 percent – and in a statistical tie for second place with Ben Carson and Marco Rubio. The low-key physician and author who overcame poverty growing up in Detroit is the victim of controversy over the details of his up-by-the-bootstraps life story and his woeful inexperience and knowledge of national security and foreign policy matters – especially in the wake of the terrorist attacks on Paris. Putin is sitting on the other side (of the table) right now.

“If that doesn’t sober you up to reality”, the former Arkansas governor said to pin-drop silence from a crowd of hundreds of Christian conservatives, “nothing will”.

In many cases, those numbers are even higher than Hillary Clinton’s, who nonetheless maintains a sizable lead against Sanders. But King wonders how long that civility will last if the two appear to get into a face-off. Carson had been neck-and-neck for the lead with the real estate mogul in early November. Carson had a 10-point lead over Hillary, but now she edges him 46/43. It ended the federal government having your cell phone information and my cell phone information.

The congressman said the key is to energize conservatives and evangelicals to turn out to vote in November.
