Businessman Donald Trump is holding on to his position atop the crowded GOP presidential field following the first Republican debate, according to a new national Fox News poll.

The Donald tweeted this charming reference “I just realized that if you listen to Carly Fiorina for more than ten minutes straight, you develop a massive headache and then she has “a zero chance” at winning the GOP nomination”.

I wanted to use our time tonight to directly deal with an attack launched on me today by the left and the media.

As the new poll data rolled out, Trump doubled down on his assertion, made at last Thursday’s debate, that he would not rule out a third-party candidacy – a nightmare scenario for the Republicans.

In Iowa, Jeb Bush has fallen to 7th place in the field, polling a paltry 5 percent.

Ignoring warning signs his campaign may be running into trouble, the brash celebrity billionaire held a wide-ranging news conference before a speech in Michigan and lashed out on several subjects but declined to provide policy details. He’s just not ready yet.

Donald Trump has been disinvited from a Republican party event today over a suggestion that a debate moderator was tough on him because she was menstruating. Before Kelly could finish her question, Trump raised his finger, smirked and responded “only Rosie O’Donnell”.

She also told CNN “The point is women understood that comment and yes, it is offensive”. Trump has called Kelly a “bimbo” and a “lightweight” for asking about his disparaging comments toward women he believes he has slighted him.

Trump, who is now eclipsing much of the Republican political debate in the US, derives some of his popularity from shunning politically correct language, but his comments have also alienated a number of his Republic peers.

Trump said that was true of Rosie O’Donnell and he didn’t care if Kelly didn’t like his comments about women. “In my opinion, she was off-base”. They call me the ratings machine.

The first Republican primary Debate is Thursday night, and we’ve been getting a number of questions about bars that will be showing it. We know this is Washington, the wonkiest town in America. In 2014, 51 percent of those aged 18 to 34 identified with or leaned toward...

“If they don’t treat me well”, Trump said later, “Why should I make that pledge?”

Well said, Ben Carson.

Not all the Republican candidates were on the stage in Cleveland, but everyone was all ears at one Sacramento County watch party as the poll-determined top-tier of the GOP presidential field slugged it out in their first debate.

The fact that the debate was being held on the anniversary of the Voting Right Act posed some irony, they noted, since Republicans have been zealous in attempts to restrict access to the ballot box over the last five years.
