Bob Dole Says Cruz Candidacy Would Be Dangerous for Republican Party

During his few years in the Senate, Cruz has successfully maligned most of his colleagues, referring to centrists in his party as “squishes” and “the surrender caucus” and calling the Republican Majority Leader a liar on the Senate floor.

On Tuesday, Trump earned the endorsement of erstwhile Cruz supporter and former GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, and Cruz was on the receiving end of tough words from Iowa’s Branstad. “He’s not even on the scale – these people, we’ve got a bunch of real dummies, I tell ya”. “And we’re seeing conservatives coming together and unifying behind our campaign. Pick somebody out of the phone book and we win”. Texas Senator Ted Cruz is gaining ground during his “Cruzin’ to Victory” bus tour in New Hampshire.

Chasteen says he invites Trump and Palin to meet with IAVA to ensure they are supporting sufficient policies for veterans.

Whether Palin’s support puts Trump over the top in early voting Iowa, where he’s faced a renewed challenge from rival Ted Cruz, remains to be seen when the Hawkeye State caucuses on February 1. “In order to get Sarah to political events to support endorsed candidates we need your help to fundraise her travel”. “You can’t be so strident where not one Republican senator supports you”. “You gotta know what you’re going to do about it”. Trump’s overall positive/negative score is 29% positive, 58% negative (-29) while that of Cruz is 31% positive, 35% negative (-4).

The White House pushed back on Thursday against former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s comments on domestic violence, saying the issues she raised on the campaign trail are some that the Obama administration takes “quite seriously”. Ted Cruz argued Wednesday that the “Washington establishment” has dumped Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio’s bid for president, while none has backed Cruz. The impression included endorsements for a number of candidates, including Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush, and Sebastian the Crab from “The Little Mermaid”.

“I heard he was a great debater, but I beat him in the last debate”, Trump said. Whether it’s death by being shot or poisoning, does it really matter?

“Even though he’s a billionaire from NY, he sounds and looks like somebody you’d meet in the heartland who’s ticked off about the economy and government, and he projects the strength that he’d actually do something about it”, Pawlenty said.
