Latest Iowa Poll: GOP Has a New ‘Top Tier’ Candidate
Trump has been highly critical and skeptical of Muslims in recent days, and his loaded rhetoric continued at the rally on Monday night that attracted thousands who loudly cheered him.
But there was a bigger cheer when he pledged – without any details – a tough response to ISIS.
“They asked me did I see a film; I did see the film”. “That was not the case, as best as I can remember”.Rubio said: “It didn’t happen and there are fact checks to prove it”.
And, again to cheers, Trump embraced an interrogation method now classified as torture. To be completely honest, I’m not really sure how you beat Trump given that he’s seemingly incapable of sabotaging his own campaign and he’s stubbornly survived every effort at demonstrating what an enormous shitheel he is. But watching him react to the latest round of “Trump said a insane and unjustifiable thing” at least clarifies what his appeal is and should instruct the terrified Republican establishment on how to deal with him.
“Cruz is also now experiencing a jolt of warm impressions from the Republican faithful after months during which he appeared to gain little traction in terms of improving his image”.
Ms Balkar addressed Mr Trump personally on Facebook saying, “me being Muslim doesn’t make me any less American than you are”.
“I know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it”, he added, “but there were people cheering as that building came down, as those buildings came down”. Birthright citizenship is something many believe is guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment, but Trump said a new constitutional amendment isn’t needed to change it for “anchor babies”, a term he insisted wasn’t offensive.
An extensive review by the Washington Post following Trump’s claims did not turn up any evidence of mass celebrations within the United States.
Trump and his advisers have stood firm behind his statement that American Muslims celebrated the attacks shortly after 9/11 in New Jersey.
In a statement, Jersey City Mayor Fulop criticized Trump for his statements. But he highlights another line in the same story.
“Whether it’s thousands and thousands or 1,000 people or even just 1 person, it’s irrelevant”. Tailgate is a lot of people.
Rick Johnson, 55, from Kettering, Ohio, said he “heard about that, too, when it happened….”
Another reporter clarified that the footage Carson had seen was “in New Jersey”.
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, former New York Gov. George Pataki and former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore did not register any support.
Most likely GOP voters, 24 percent, said the economy and jobs are the most important issues in deciding who to support, followed by terrorism and foreign policy at 15 percent, the deficit at 11 percent and immigration at 10 percent. “Nothing wrong with that”.
