Donald Trump Exudes Confidence Ahead Of Early Primaries

On Saturday, Beck attempted to tell voters just ahead of the Iowa caucuses that casting a ballot for Donald Trump would be a big mistake.

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.

De Blasio said Trump’s comment that he could “shoot somebody” on the city’s famous 5th Avenue and not lose support was inappropriate at a time when lawmakers are trying to “deal with the scourge of gun violence”.

The context for the Johnny Cash-like assertion was Trump trying to differentiate himself from his rising rival, Ted Cruz, who Trump suggested had much softer support, i.e. the kind that would be horrified if you shot someone.

Donald Trump is hard target for criticism because not all of his supporters are conservatives and many are interested in his projection of strength, not where he stands on a particular issue.

Donald Trump and some mainstream Republicans are engaged in a long-distance flirtation. He holds a 40.6 percent share in a Reuters-Ipsos tracking poll that was released Friday.

However, the establishment’s growing acceptance of Trump’s electoral prospects so far hasn’t manifested itself in tangible support for his campaign. “I have the most loyal people – did you ever see that?” He is known for his political commentary, such as advocating for limited government and defending the Second Amendment, Cruz’s campaign said in a press release. “…That doesn’t mean he’s not giving us a fight in Iowa”.

Trump believes his voters’ loyalty is so strong and competition so weak, that even a random shooting in the middle of a street won’t turn people away from him.

Still, John Catsimatidis, a major Republican and Democratic donor, said it’s time for the GOP to accept that when it comes to Trump’s strength, “the facts are the facts”.

“I am here to announce that I am endorsing Senator Ted Cruz as the next President of the United States!” 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.

He blasted Trump’s past reluctance to strip federal money from Planned Parenthood and cast the billionaire’s plan to deport more than 11 million people who are in country illegally as “amnesty” because he would then let many of them return.
