Here’s Donald Trump’s Closing Statement at GOP Debate
Tonight’s Republican debate attempted to get the audience interested in worldwide affairs.
Gamblers kept gambling at the nearby slots and gondoliers kept rowing in the hotel’s indoor canals, seemingly oblivious to the Republican cage match that took top billing on Tuesday night.
Earlier this year, Donald Trump turned up the heat on immigration rhetoric in the GOP primary race.
A Republican senator is investigating whether Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz released classified information while discussing the National Security Agency during Tuesday night’s debate.
During the debate, Bush went after Trump by calling him a “chaos candidate,” attacking his plan for fighting ISIS, and telling him that he couldn’t “insult his way to the presidency”.
Mr. Bush, who defended his brother and former president George W. Bush’s West Asia policy, which included coalitions with friendly Arabs, said: “If we push the Muslim world away, we can’t win this war”. But thanks to attacks in Paris and then San Bernardino, the US immigration conversation has shifted from fears over jobs to fears over personal safety. Tensions were heightened by a hoax email threat on Tuesday that closed the Los Angeles school system.
Mr. Bush termed Mr. Trump a “chaos candidate”, who would make a “chaos president”, and Mr. Trump returned the favour by questioning Mr. Bush’s energy levels and declaring, “under him America would never be great again”.
It got under Trump’s skin.
“I really am”, Trump simpered. Last week, Trump stunned the field by proposing to ban Muslims from entering the USA, a move his rivals assailed only to find many Republican voters backed the idea and Trump’s lead in opinion polls grew.
Do Donald Trump supporters show up? This year, the two leading voices against illegal immigrants have been Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz. On the other were those skeptical of “getting stuck in Middle Eastern civil wars”, as Cruz put it, or “toppling secular dictators in the Middle East”, as Rand Paul said.
Just days after accusing Cruz of acting like “a maniac” in the Senate, Trump struck a more conciliatory tone. “While everyone said I beat him last night, I was only responding to his desperate attempt to stay relevant by attacking me”.
The prime-time event also featured New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who said his experience as a federal prosecutor makes him the most experienced in going after terror suspects.
In particular, Cruz slammed Rubio for his participation in crafting a compromise immigration bill in 2013.
GOP candidate Marco Rubio said Wednesday that the struggle between himself and fellow Sen. If you’re looking for reasons to think Christie might gain on Rubio in New Hampshire, there you have it.
So, the bill would have given the executive branch a new power.
“If your eyes are glazing over like mine, this is what it’s like to be on the floor of the United States Senate”, he said, delivering a zinger that will appeal to the many voters angry with Washington politics. They saw ammunition all over the place.
The debate had no outright winners or losers. Bush, eager to energize his sagging campaign, brought the fight to Trump on the debate stage, repeatedly talking over the billionaire as the pair tangled.
