Donald Trump repeats crude Ted Cruz insult shouted at rally, feigns outrage

Many of them predicted that Iowa-caucus results showed the race essentially winnowing to a three-way race between Trump and Sens. A woman then yelled something hard to hear through the noise. In the last 10 elections, the victor of the Republican primary went on to become the eventual nominee eight times; on the Democratic side, seven winners went on to become nominees.

On Tuesday, Cruz said Trump engaged in profanity because he doesn’t want to talk about his positions. In an interview with MSNBC, he called Rubio “confused”, Jeb Bush a “loser”, Hillary Clinton “evil” and Ted Cruz “nasty”.

Katrina Pierson, spokesperson for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, argued on Tuesday that saying the word “p*ssy” at a recent campaign event put her boss in the same category as America’s Founding Fathers.

-Rubio, who had arrived in New Hampshire with a burst of momentum after placing a strong third in Iowa, acknowledged New Hampshire was a setback for him.

Bush’s campaign debuted a new ad questioning Kasich’s conservative credentials, while an outside group backing Rubio pulled an ad attacking Cruz and replaced it with one assailing Bush.

“Wow, wow, wow, wow”, Trump declared, savoring his victory at a campaign rally before promising swift action as president on the economy, trade, health care and more.

“We need someone who can beat Hillary Clinton”. Lindsey Graham added that voters in New Hampshire saw a “guy on the rise” in New Hampshire. Some Republicans have expressed concerns that if the pack of moderate candidates continue on after New Hampshire, their harsh criticisms will drown Rubio’s campaign. It’s estimated that more than $100 million was spent by the candidates on ads there alone.

But a debate performance on Saturday night that was widely mocked by Republicans and Democrats, as well as legions on social media, might have changed the equation for the United States senator from Florida, although he is still showing strength in polls. Mr Christie and Mr Bush both piled on Mr Rubio, claiming he had not been tested the way governors had.

The Clinton campaign said the support of black and Hispanic voters would be key to victory.

Over the weekend, a pair of prominent Clinton supporters criticized female voters who support Sanders despite the prospect of electing the first female president.

“You’re number one to us, Marco!” one supporter yelled.
