Presidential Election Poll 2016: Trump and Sanders Have Strong Leads in Iowa

“There’s another candidate in this race who talks quite a bit about immigration – and everything else”, Cruz said, a line he added to his stump speech Saturday, recalling the Capitol Hill fight that tried to grant citizenship to those here illegally. Cruz tried to shut the government down again in 2015, further fueling the fire of dislike.

During his exchange with Baier, Cruz attempted to explain his sponsorship of a 2013 immigration amendment as being part of a broader effort to “defeat Marco Rubio’s amnesty” bill.

“It’s up to him to ask God’s forgiveness, but I would like to suggest to you that the man owes America an apology, and he should ask conservatives for America for forgiveness for supporting billions of dollars of bailouts, for pulling for the nationalization of our banks”, he said.

Donald Trump is no longer content to attack his chief rival for the GOP nomination merely over Twitter, on the debate stage, and through his abundant supply of free media.

The standings remain mostly unchanged from the last Fox News national poll two weeks ago when Trump led with 35 percent support and Cruz followed with 20 percent support.

Donald Trump tweeted in response to the endorsement saying it was a “sad answer” to his own endorsement form Sarah Palin. “You never make a good decision when you’re angry, it will not end well if we play into the anger”, Beck said. “Had I not brought up the subject of illegal immigration, an issue which Ted Cruz is very weak on, nobody would even be talking about it. I will build a great wall, and Mexico will pay for it”, said Donald Trump, in a campaign statement released with the video.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz campaigns in New Hampshire. Seeing National Review come out against Trump is not that much more surprising than watching Barbara Bush endorse her son in Jeb’s latest campaign video.

Cruz is attacking Trump for favoring eminent domain, depicting Trump as a heartless businessman.

During a rally in Sioux Center, Iowa, Trump told the assembled crowd, “My people are so smart”.

Trump has also increased his criticism of Cruz in recent days as the Texas senator gains in the polls.

“I’m going to leave tone to the judges of tone”, Cruz told reporters Wednesday, bristling when given the invitation to judge Trump’s coarse language, “and I’m going to focus on substance and policy”.
