Donald Trump is now the undisputed Republican front-runner once again

The senators are also vying for support of Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate expected to spend millions of dollars backing a pro-Israel presidential candidate.

The Republican Party’s presidential contenders pledged allegiance to Israel and warned of “apocalyptic” Islamic terrorism on Thursday as they courted one of the nation’s most powerful Jewish donors.

The comment drew murmurs of disapproval.

Pressed on whether he would state that Jerusalem is the “undivided capital of Israel”, Trump was booed as he hesitated with his answer. Since that time Trump has consistently pushed the envelope with politically incorrect statements and tough criticism for his opponents. “I want to wait until I meet with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu]”.

Should candidates make their medical records public?

“Some in our own party – in the news today – have actually questioned Israel’s commitment to peace”, Florida Sen.

It’s unclear what specifically is causing the decline, but the rise of Rubio and Cruz as alternatives might have something to do with it. Note that Carson’s bubble in September got deflated when Carly Fiorina (dark gray line) suddenly caught fire. “They are dead wrong, and they don’t understand the enduring bond between Israel and America”. “Let me be crystal clear: there is no moral equivalence between Israel and its enemies”.

“And we all love him”, said the RJC official who posed the original question.

MANASSAS, Virginia (CNN) – Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday that he’s going to take a trip to Israel soon, one day ahead of a conference in Washington where he’ll address the top Jewish Republicans in the country. “He should know better, and probably does”.

While there’s no chance Thursday for the candidates to personally interact with Adelson, many of them have already met with him.

“Marco Rubio gives Republicans the best chance to win because of his favorability and he is seen as most trusted across the board in terms of the issues that matter most”.

“He has no plans now, or in the immediate future, to get involved in the primary”, Abboud said, noting that Adelson won’t be at the forum because he’s on a personal trip.

The real-estate tycoon holds a 20-point lead over his closest challenger, Texas Sen.

Still, the specter of Adelson’s nod looms large for the GOP field. He nearly single-handedly propped up former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s 2012 presidential bid and was widely criticized for prolonging an ugly primary season. Those subgroups are also the three most important and powerful when it comes to deciding the GOP nominee in 2016. I would predict that most of the candidates with numbers below 5 percent are not going to stay in for the long haul.

I still argue that the fundamentals are that the anti-Trump vote will consolidate around a candidate as the field narrows, and that he won’t be the nominee.

“I want to say where have you been for the last 70 years?” He noted he has won several awards from Jewish groups and recently said he has “a very good relationship” with Adelson.
