Presidential Race: Ted Cruz Cites ‘Flashdance’ in Response to Donald

Citing Tashfeen Malik, the woman who with her husband Syed Rizwan Farook killed 14 people during a shooting rampage at a San Bernardino developmental center this month, Trump said the USA needs to “get its hands around the problem” of radical followers of the religion and the threat they create.

A few examples. Trump wants to change the tax code; Cruz wants to abolish the agency, the Internal Revenue Service, that collects taxes. True, Trump’s most recent contribution to his growing series of openly bigoted statements – each of which was supposed to be the last he could get away with as a major USA presidential candidate – has drawn criticism from his own side.

Donald Trump leads the candidates seeking the Republican Party’s nomination in the Y 2016 election with 35% of support from Republican voters, the opinion poll released Friday found, the same lead he held before Monday, when he said Muslim immigrants, students and other travelers should be barred from entering the country.

Westmacott joined David Cameron, who earlier called the proposal to ban Muslims “divisive, unhelpful and quite simply wrong”, and the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, who said “the only reason I wouldn’t go to certain parts of NY is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump”.

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper.

Trump remains the overall front-runner, the man in the middle for Tuesday night’s debate in Las Vegas.

Support for the junior senator from Texas has soared to 31 percent among those likely to attend the February caucuses that kick off the Republican presidential nomination process. People selected for KnowledgePanel who didn’t otherwise have access to the Internet were provided access at no cost to them.

That tactic came unstuck somewhat this week after he was recorded at a private function calling Trump’s judgement into question over national security. And one of those polls shows him ahead of Donald Trump by a sizable margin. And he’s really becoming the figure on the right of choice in that state, and Iowa votes just seven weeks from tomorrow. Once the party picks a nominee, this thinking goes, it can unify around shared views and contrast them with those of Democrats. Marco Rubio hovered at 10 percent. “Some donors say that New York Cruz sounds different than Iowa Cruz”.

There is likely little political love lost between Trump and the NY governor.

Cruz is a mismatch there compared to the Deep South and Iowa; New Hampshire is overwhelmingly secular. Cruz has staff, volunteers and a plan to turn out voters in most states.

CNN notes that Paul nearly missed the main debate, but a Fox News poll on Sunday showed him doing better in Iowa. A win or even a solid second in Iowa would excite conservatives and give Cruz a shot at an impressive plurality. It’s an unconventional analogy for a presidential election, but at one least Republican candidate appears to identify with Alex Owens, the aspiring performer and protagonist of the 1983 hit movie “Flashdance”.
