The CNN Poll With Trump at 36 Percent Has a Serious Flaw

“The key question is: Will the now fragmented college-educated half of the GOP coalesce around another candidate (say, Rubio) eventually?…”

Trump has drawn strong criticism and disbelief from legal experts for saying last month that he would require American Muslims to register in a database in response to the Paris terrorist attacks. “I don’t think I have the kind of leverage I’d like to have in a deal and I don’t want to take the chance of hurting my campaign”. Because asserted San Bernardino shooter Tafsheen Malik entered the US last yr on a K-1 visa – the so-called “fiancee” visa – Trump told ABC News source today in that he would contemplate shutting this system down.

Former Virginia Republican Rep. Tom Davis, who served as chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said there is real concern among GOP political strategists working on House and Senate races about a Trump nomination.

This Friday, Cruz accused him of desperation and demanded a correction of the recent statements he made about the Act. He noted he has won several awards from Jewish groups and recently said he has “a very good relationship” with Adelson.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz has climb into a distant second with 16 percent, while Florida Senator Marco Rubio remains stuck at 12 percent and Jeb Bush is barely hanging on with a lowly 3 percent.

He said as president he would make sure the USA does more to stand by its allies – Israel in particular – and defeat its enemies. While each is competing in his own lane – Cruz as the conservative consolidator and Rubio as the establishment’s consensus candidate – each has a vested interest in exploiting the other’s vulnerabilities. Several candidates blasted him from the stage.

Trump sat down and shared his views on Israel in an AP Conversation – a series of extended interviews with the 2016 candidates to become the nation’s 45th president. That, even more than immigration, explains why he’s north of 30 percent now. “We don’t stop the offensive guys by taking away our guns”, Ted Cruz stated.

Not everybody. The Rev. Darrell C. Scott of the Ohio-based New Spiritual Revival Center, who organized the meeting, said Monday night on CNN that some of the pastors who had initially agreed “got scared” after receiving negative backlash from their own parishioners and others.

The primary benefactor of the Republican Jewish Coalition is casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who spent more on the 2012 federal elections than any other donor.
