Conservative group to air $1 million in ads against Trump in Iowa

The group, the Club for Growth, is focusing its considerable firepower first on Iowa, where Mr Trump has leapt to a significant lead over more conventionally credentialed Republican candidates, panicking Republican leaders.

Trump on the other hand retaliated on his social media account be tweeting, “Little respected Club For Growth asked me for $1,000,000 – I said “NO”.

“Today not a single republican candidate, announced or potential, is clearly and consistently supporting a path to citizenship”, Hillary Clinton said in Nevada. “Whatever. Whatever”, Trump said at a lively campaign rally in Dallas on Monday.

“I’m not aware of any organized effort to attack Trump“, Malek said.

Fiorina, an ex-CEO of Hewlett Packard turned Presidential candidate, has come under attack from Donald Trump.

“I heard the comments he made to Megyn Kelly and I was outraged that he was basically using women’s periods not just to avoid a political question but also to insult her and all women’s intelligence”, she said.

Speaking to a roomful of reporters at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Club for Growth president David McIntosh said Trump had “the worst record of the entire field, with the possible exception of Bernie Sanders, on economic policies”.

Trump went on to slam what he calls “sanctuary cities” where local authorities don’t turn undocumented immigrants to federal authorities. It is a test Mr Trump, for all his apparent strength, has yet to face.

Numerous 11 candidates who will be at a prime-time debate (5 p.m. PDT/8 p.m. EDT) see a path for themselves to the Republican nomination for the November 2016 election, and any route they take will require getting out of the long shadow cast by Trump.

“It will when it’s appropriate”, Trump responded. He bashed the group for once asking him to make a $1 million donation. “Now they are spending lobbyist and special interest money on ads!”

The new effort comes on the eve of the second major Republican debate, after months in which Mr Trump has seemed to float above virtually any criticism from fellow party members. After his performance in August’s debate, Donald Trump was able to consolidate and build on his support while Gov. Scott Walker was set back.
