Donald Trump wants to bring back waterboarding as an interrogation technique
“I would bring back waterboarding and I’d bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding”, Trump said during Saturday night’s Republican debate on ABC, days before New Hampshire holds its primary for the November 8 election. I think waterboarding is peanuts compared to what they’d do to us… what they did to James Foley when they chopped off his head.
Senator Ted Cruz called waterboarding “enhanced interrogation” and said he would “use whatever enhanced interrogation methods we could to keep this country safe”.
“We’ve watched it happen, everybody, for the last seven years. Not since Medieval times have people seen what’s going on”.
“I’d go through a process and get it declassified frankly… certainly waterboarding at a minimum”, Trump told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union”. Marco Rubio said he doesn’t criticize President Obama’s recent visit to a mosque, but believes he “continues to put out this fiction that there’s widespread, systematic discrimination against Muslim Americans”.
“She just said a bad thing, you know what she said?”
Billionaire businessman Donald Trump: “If I’m elected president, we will win, and we will win, and we will win”. “Under the law, torture is excruciating pain that is equivalent to losing organs and systems”, Cruz said.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump also clashed with former Florida governor, Jeb Bush, a man whom he has routinely derided as a “low energy candidate”.
Bush: “How tough is it to take property from an elderly woman?”
The example tonight, in Manchester, New Hampshire on the eve of that state’s primary, came courtesy of one of Trump’s supporters.
“Despite the Iowa setback, Donald Trump is way ahead of his GOP opponents”, said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
