Republican Ted Cruz Jumps Seven Points Into Second Place

Fox News anchor Bret Baier confronted Sen.

Addressing Trump, Moore said: “Here’s a statistic that is going to make your hair spin: 81 percent of the electorate who will pick the president next year are either female, people of colour, or young people between the ages of 18 and 35…”

Ted Cruz’s campaign for president continues to gain steam, and one endorsement he just received could boost his already strong campaign.

Rubio, facing huge pressure from the right and the reality that the GOP-controlled House was not even going to vote on the measure, began walking back his support soon after it passed the Senate. “I oppose legalization. Marco Rubio supports legalization”, Cruz told reporters gathered before the event at Life Church, a Pentecostal church in this conservative pocket of Virginia.

After that it gets tricky, unless you’re Donald Trump. A plurality of debate viewers – 25.8 percent – said Cruz won the debate, followed closely by Trump, at 23.8 percent.

Many of Cruz’s views are even more extreme – and more distant from the American mainstream.

As he did during the debate, however, Cruz ducked the main thrust of the question in order to speak broadly about voters judging all of the candidates.

“I understand why Donald made that proposal”.

“I think we defeat terrorism by showing them that we do not fear them”, he said in his first answer.

“For the first time in five debates, Senator Rubio publicly admitted not only did he support Obama and Schumer’s amnesty but he still supports amnesty and citizenship today”, Cruz said Thursday – highlighting a Rubio stance that is anathema to the GOP’s conservative base.

“I’ve never supported legalization”. “He doesn’t mention that [now] in the speeches in Iowa”. “Eight years later, Republicans may have their own version of the Obama campaign in the form of Donald Trump”, Jordan Gehrke, a Republican political strategist, wrote in a piece for National Review.

As he was battling with Florida Sen. We are all children of God (or nature or whatever you believe in), part of the human family, and nothing you say or do can change that fact one iota.

Do you support Ted Cruz?

As the recent debate showed, one of Rubio’s approaches to neutralize Cruz is to link their positions.

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

With voting in Iowa (Feb. 1) and New Hampshire (Feb. 9) nearing, Paul said he plans to keep “pounding the pavement” with trips planned to both states.

The leaked audio of Cruz questioning Trump’s “judgment” perhaps offers an explanation for why Cruz has been treating the front-runner with kid gloves while attacking Rubio. Trump told the newspaper he was concerned that he would be at a disadvantage if a contested convention materialized.

Perhaps I am influenced by the Christmas season, but there was something genuinely appalling that candidates who so often claim to be devout Christians allocated the bulk of their time to warfare, to throwing people out of our country or to walling them off. There was nearly nothing about our obligations to millions around the world who are suffering, from the very wars the candidates were so focused on and from a depth of poverty that is hard for us in rich countries to fathom.

“I feel like gravity has caught up with Ben Carson”, he noted. Deal with it. All my best, Michael Moore P.S. I’m asking everyone who reads this letter to go here (http://michaelmoore.com/weareallmuslim), and sign the following statement: “WE ARE ALL MUSLIM” – and then post a photo of yourself holding a homemade sign saying “WE ARE ALL MUSLIM” on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram using the hashtag ‪#‎WeAreAllMuslim‬.
