Giuliani: Trump ‘refreshing’ for Republican primary
But not too far.
The five-day rolling online poll had Trump at 15 percent among Republicans on Friday before he rocketed to 24.9 percent on Tuesday.
And when asked about whether he would deport undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S.as children, Trump fumbled and said, unsure, that “it’s a tough situation” and “it depends”.
To the ear of a good chunk of GOP voters, he talks with an ineloquent authenticity that is the opposite of the candidate-speak people hear from other candidates, including his rivals. Trump is surely in. Only in the last few years has he seemed to find some cohesive ground in what he thinks and whom he supports.
Pollster Patrick Murray said there’s little doubt Trump has pulled support away from Christie.
The former reality-TV star is first among Republicans in the national survey at 20 percent – the largest share of any Republican contender recorded by the independent Q Poll in two years. For the couple of months that Ross Perot quit the presidential race in the summer of 1992, Clinton actually increased his lead over President Bush. He’s likewise critical of free-trade agreements. Records show he has only given money to Republicans since 2010.
As for the Republican Party, Trump said he has recently had “very nice” conversations with Reince Priebus, the head of the Republican National Committee.
Compared to Trump, all the other candidates, including Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, are boring. But those who try can change the dynamic of a race – and history. But the liberal is widely considered to have tipped Florida and perhaps New Hampshire to Republican George W. Bush.
The Democratic presidential primaries are usually wide open – there are no “establishment candidates”.
Bush was affirmed the victor in Florida by 537 votes.
She has a one-point lead over Scott Walker, 44 to 43 percent.
“Everybody knows who he is”. There is no consensus that he cost Bush the election.
Then Trump turned his gun on fellow Republicans who criticised him, calling Senator John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, not a war hero because he was captured, and Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina an “idiot” for calling Trump a “jackass”.
Predictions of his demise were apparently premature.
Luntz puts the cost at $200 million.
– “Absolutely, if they’re not fair, that would be a factor”. I want to get the bad ones out…. “I think I’ll get the nomination”. It is easy to cast aspersions and ridicule nearly everything about Donald’s shoot-from-the-hip campaign from his inflammatory and offensive epithets about Mexicans, his over-simplified Wolman Rink strategy for the middle east, his arrogant diatribes against the Chinese (his best customers) his self-aggrandizing insults of all politicians and his mocking distain of traditional media.
“They’re killing our trade and manufacturing and other things and with me, that’s not going to happen … and, by the way, the Chinese know it”.
