Trump Says Jeb “Needed Mommy To Help Him”

Mr. Trump said he wouldn’t be treated “fairly” by Ms. Kelly, and therefore wasn’t interested in participating in the last debate before the Iowa caucuses on Monday. The only one who did, and I thought it was a rather nicely-delivered hit, was by Jeb, when he came out against the demonization of the other, particularly Muslims, in response to the to the video that had been shown on YouTube.

“He led the charge to finally fix this immigration problem that has existed now for, as Marco says, for 30 years”, he said. Ted Cruz of Texas may be entertaining, but that there’s no time for such distractions.

John Kasich did a good job of promoting his New Hampshire-centric persona.

Rubio can also claim explicit, and implicit, recent endorsements from several big name conservatives who hold sway over diverse sectors of the voter base. “I honored my commitments”, Cruz said. “And he kind of wriggled out of it with slightly more finesse and a sense of conviction than Rubio did in explaining away his contradictions”.

Jeb Bush vowed that his “first duty” as president would be to fix the Veterans Administration at the GOP debate Thursday night.

Trump won’t be gasping for the oxygen of publicity because the media has been on a 24/7 Trump binge for months, and the lead-up to Thursday’s debate has been no exception: His promised nonappearance has been the major story line. You see, why are we one of the most generous people in the world, no, the most generous people in the world? I’m not sure when evoking General Patton and General MacArthur ceases to suffice, for any voter, as an meaningful indication of foreign policy direction.

I’d say, if you need the fear of God to cause you to care for the less fortunate, you really aren’t – you’re caring about yourself. What he apparently didn’t think he needed to do was make a real compelling case for himself, because he sure hasn’t, and just spending the most money doesn’t make up for a failure that fundamental.

There shouldn’t be as much bluster without Trump as moderators will have to place their attention on the other candidates.

Rubio believes he can win either SC or Nevada, but even if he remains in the top three in the first four states, Rubio would win delegates because states award delegates proportionally until March 15.

Cruz accused Rubio of supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants in 2013 when he helped write the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform bill, saying that Rubio sided with Democrats like Sen. The Suffolk poll comes as Cruz has had a consistent showing in second place, often with a sizable margin over the third-place candidate, in national and Iowa polls. This debate will not feature an undercard round of low-polling candidates, a feature of earlier Republican debates with so many candidates vying for the party’s nomination.

All you fans of dynastic politics can take heart.
