Cruz says he welcomes “establishment” backing Trump

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is coming under fire from the Clinton campaign and much of the liberal base for referring to Planned Parenthood, the country’s largest abortion provider, as an “establishment” organization. During the last gubernatorial election, she turned against the incumbent, Sean Parnell, who succeeded her after she resigned, and she endorsed a moderate Republican, Bill Walker, who was running as a third-party candidate.

Sarah Palin has come under fire for remarks she made in defense of her son at a rally Wednesday for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump – but during an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon Wednesday evening, Trump said she discussed her son at his suggestion.

In the GOP race, meanwhile, the CNN/ORC poll shows Donald Trump with an 11-point lead over Ted Cruz in the state that kicks off the 2016 race. “I think I am prepared to be both president and commander in chief”, she said.

“Look, you know, everything starts at the top”. While talking to just over 300 people who came to listen to him, he said, “So we had a big day yesterday – yesterday was fantastic in every way…Sarah came along and she said: ‘We love what’s happening.’ It’s a movement, and no matter where we go, it’s a movement”.

He said Mr Cruz had falsely “convinced the Iowa voters that he’s kind of a mainstream conservative”. “Unlike Secretary Clinton, it did not take me a long, long time to know that the Keystone pipeline was a very bad idea”.

In other news, while Trump still holds a steady lead in New Hampshire, Cruz is now moving up in the polls there, even though it’s a state he wasn’t expected to do well at all in. Trump is “greatly honored to receive Sarah’s endorsement”, he said in response, adding: “She is a friend, and a high-quality person whom I have great respect for”. “If you believe what we need is more deal-making, more going along to get along, use his words, with Harry Reid and Barack Obama and the Democrats, then you can can understand why the establishment is unifying behind him”, he said. I really want to run against her but I really would like to run against Bernie sanders too.

Almost half – 48 percent – of Republicans say Trump would best handle the economy, far ahead of Bush, Cruz and OH governor John Kasich, with just 7 percent each.
