New Donald Trump Attack Ad: Sen. Ted Cruz Is ‘Pro Immigration’

As Douthat’s tweet suggests, a more helpful choice than criticizing Trump might have been for National Review to find a specific candidate to support. It is possible that Trump will sweep the early states and turn into an unstoppable force.

There’s an uneasy civility about the equation Trump and Cruz share. “It has to be someone who tells you exactly what they are going to do as president”. “I believe I have found him”.

Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley was the introductory speaker at Mr. Trump’s Pella event. “He was supporting Marco Rubio’s Dream Act”, Cruz said. Trump did not repeat the “shoot somebody” line at a later rally in Pella, while stressing to the crowd there that he would tone down his rhetoric as president.

Chris Christie: The momentum the New Jersey governor appeared to have a month ago in New Hampshire seems to have dissipated – if not disappeared entirely. “The average voter in New Hampshire doesn’t care”.

“Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported”, Scott Leader, one of the men, allegedly told the police.

One reason so many Republican bigwigs oppose Cruz is that he is considered by many political professionals to be too right-wing to win a national election. Trump has been performing strongly in SC. Ted Cruz, R-Texas speaks during a campaign stop at Lino’s Restaurant in Sanbornville, N.H. Cruz is dreaming of a face-off with Democratic front-runner Hill… Grassley did not endorse Trump but repeated Trump’s signature phrase, saying Republicans have a chance to “make America great again”. However, Cruz could still lose Iowa.

Senator Cruz of Texas, his closest competitor, stood at 10.5 percent. As there is no establishment candidate or presumptive nominee to be dissatisfied with this time, Trump is seen as a candidate from far outside that establishment, running against that establishment. But the sampling is key for both candidates: Only including voters who previously caucused in their party’s most recent competitive caucus, Cruz is neck-and-neck with Trump, with 30% for Cruz to 28% for Trump. None of these hits are death blows for Cruz, but they each serve as a distraction at a time when he can ill afford to take his eye off the ball. He has been accused of sexism after his vituperative attack on Megyn Kelly, the Fox TV news host who aroused his ire with tough questioning during a Republican presidential debate.
