Trump Claims He Could Shoot Someone And Not Lose Voters

“Even right now today, Mr. Trump support(s) amnesty”, Cruz said, using the immigration term he usually reserves to attack Florida Sen.

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a campaign event in Pella, Iowa, on January 23, 2016.

“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters”, he said.

“Mr. Trump, at the time, was sending tweets publicly supporting amnesty”, Cruz said at a local pizza shop.

“Can you imagine eye telling hand, “Get lost, I don’t need you” or hearing the head telling the foot, ‘You’re fired, your job has been phased out?'” the reader said in a reference to Trump’s signature phrase when he was the star of “The Apprentice”.

Grassley did not endorse Trump but repeated Trump’s signature phrase, saying that Republicans have a chance to “make America great again”.

Many professional Republicans distain Trump and worry about his long-term effect on the party’s ability to win over general election voters. “And I think the American people do not want to see our nation move toward an oligarchy where billionaires control the political process”, he said. Pierson said he “is definitely going back to Texas in February” for “a trip or two” in advance of the primary although the dates and number of appearances haven’t been determined.

Gov. Chris Christie was tied with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for sixth place with 4 percent. “John McCain is a hero”, Bush said.
