Trump wins 5th presidential debate in Las Vegas
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who has also been critical of Rubio’s voting record, gave the same defense as Rubio when he missed the vote to confirm Attorney General Loretta Lynch earlier this year, claiming “absence is the equivalent of a no”.
During Tuesday night’s debate, they clashed on immigration reform. Right now, a Cruz Super PAC is running ads in support of Cruz that use an unflattering quote by John Boehner as an endorsement of Cruz.
Cruz was referencing Rubio’s leading role in a bipartisan group of senators who crafted an immigration reform package in 2013 that aimed to strengthen border security, overhaul legal immigration and allow a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants in the country illegally.
Cook said of the field overall, “They were trying to tap into the fears, the legitimate fears of voters but turn those fears into partisan anger, and that’s just not constructive”. Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the committee, simply stating: “The committee is not investigating anything said during last night’s Republican presidential debate”. “I think what you have tonight is a couple of individuals who fundamentally agree that Washington is broken, and they have their own vision to change that, and that’s what came across on the stage tonight”.
I agree that Putin’s endorsement doesn’t mean much.
After the debate, many in West Michigan have mixed feelings about Trump.
His bill, an amendment to Senate immigration legislation, proposed stripping out the option of citizenship. “I oppose legalization for illegal aliens”, Cruz told reporters. At no point did he describe his amendment as a poison bill or procedural maneuver to derail the bill. “They tried to call him a reality star”, Long said, and portrayed his campaign as “a lark”. “We defeated amnesty and they are furious”.
Still, Jeb! never directly answered whether he would support Trump or was even considering not supporting him.
Ben Carson captured the spirit succinctly when he said, “We need to be on a war footing”. One of those would have supported legalization, but banned a pathway to citizenship. Nevertheless, he still trails Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton by a more than a 2-to-1 margin among likely voters, according to a Monmouth University poll released Wednesday.
Voters at a Cruz rally in Las Vegas rally on Thursday felt differently.
Under this strategy, Mr Bush plans to make New Hampshire, the first primary state, his second home as the holidays approach, and to spend more than half his time there in the seven weeks before the Feb 9 primary.
He said, “We are not talking about isolation, we’re talking about security”.
