Sen. Burr checking if Cruz released classified info in debate

He said, “Donald is great at the one-liners but he’s a chaos candidate and he’d be a chaos president”.

“He looks like a serious candidate to me”.

The third fight of the night was the one Chris Christie had with someone who wasn’t on stage – Hillary.

Mr Bush’s campaign was cheered when Mr Trump, late in the debate, seemed to become upset at Mr Bush and a moderator under the heat of questioning.

Until Republicans get that down to three or four, which won’t happen until sometime after the Iowa caucus in February, we’re not going to get an old-fashioned primary debate. He didn’t go after the front runner Trump and we wanted to know why he isn’t beating them both.

“I’ve even been given the designated honor as the “Maniac” in Washington”, Cruz wrote, a reference to what Trump said about him – then walked back – at the debate.

Mr. Trump was at 26 percent in the Franklin Pierce University/Boston Heraldpoll taken from December 13-17, followed by Sens. “It’s hard to hold all of that together with Scotch tape”.

“I’m a Republican. I’m going to be a Republican”, Trump told CNN, adding that he’d met good people in his new political family.

It didn’t make me happy to tweet it, but Trump did well.

“The problem for Trump is that he has a high floor and a low ceiling”, said Mackowiak, who suggests despite his high polling, Trump will have to win over many more voters in each state in order to close the deal and win. “That’s what he’s not doing”. Rubio said. “So let me just be very clear”.

Earlier, a pre-debate forum featured four other candidates: former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham and former NY governor George Pataki. And he shouldn’t care about getting Trump’s less than brilliant followers. Cruz also declined to Attack, despite growing tension between their campaigns as the gap between their poll numbers has shrunken. And while Cruz’s position is not disqualifying, he may have a harder time in the general because of his more stringent stand. In one testy exchange, Rubio noted that Cruz had voted against the Defense Authorization Act, which includes funding for Iron Dome, the short-range anti-missile program Israel has used to deflect rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip. And the audience was bigger than the GOP debates hosted by other cable networks.

The relationship between the USA and Russian Federation has been complicated in recent years by events like Russia’s annexation of Crimea in Ukraine and Putin’s support of the Assad regime in Syria.
