Immigration fuels Cruz-Rubio Republican clash

That’s what Cruz asserted in the debate and Rubio called out.

Bush did utter a number of memorable lines last night as he tried to pull his campaign out of the land of single digit poll numbers.

And then there is the not-so-trivial-obstacle that targeting civilians is illegal under worldwide law supported by the U.S. Marco Rubio traded fire over the merits of the metadata collection program at the debate.

Trump’s leading most polls, just ahead of Ted Cruz, who’s in Minnesota Thursday, and again not going negative on Trump.

Of the pair of freshman Cuban-American senators who participated in Tuesday night’s Republican presidential debate, which one is more likely to be on stage in Cleveland next summer to accept the party’s nomination?

Celebrity billionaire Donald Trump came under fire for his controversial proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States, on a night when terrorism clearly became the centrepiece issue of the presidential campaign.

According to the survey, 42% of GOP viewers saw Bush in a less favorable light after the debate, while 37% said their view of him hadn’t changed.

You know, there was a time for choosing, as Reagan put it. Where there was a battle over amnesty and some chose, like Senator Rubio to stand with Barack Obama and Chuck Schumer and support a massive amnesty plan.

At almost the same time in Nevada, Cruz was defending his opposition to allowing undocumented immigrants from staying in the country legally. “So, so far, I’m doing better”, Trump said, apparently referring to his standing in a recent poll.

Rubio and Cruz each did well in defending their differing stances on foreign policy, immigration and homeland security. “Cruz is only trying to cover up his support for legalization, which he proudly touted during the immigration debate, well after the immigration debate, from the Senate floor, in a Senate committee room, to reporters across the country, and to his fellow alumni at Princeton”.

Cruz countered by saying that Rubio was spreading “knowingly false” information about his record.

“What (Rubio) knows is that the old program covered 20% to 30% of phone numbers to search for terrorists”.

“The problem for Trump is that he has a high floor and a low ceiling”, said Mackowiak, who suggests despite his high polling, Trump will have to win over many more voters in each state in order to close the deal and win. The Texas senator has said the amendment was a “poison pill” meant to highlight the fact that Democrats weren’t open to compromise on a pathway to citizenship to get reform passed, even as they demanded compromise from Republicans on the bill. He was followed by Rubio (13:33) and Trump (13:25).

“He looks like a serious candidate to me. And I think the lion’s share of their supporters come to us”.
