Trump and Carson had teamed up to demand not only a 120-minute time frame, but also that the debate should include opening and closing statements from all candidates. When Trump is not in town, his New Hampshire campaign continues to put on smaller-scale events like house parties, said veteran Republican strategist Dave Carney, who remains neutral and whose wife Lauren is Carly Fiorina’s New Hampshire state director. The network agreed Friday to shorten the next Republican debate to two hours after the pair threatened to pull out of the forum if the network didn’t agree to their demands.

“For us it was imperative that the time be changed to 120 minutes”, said Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski.
Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer confirmed the agreement.
Trump and Carson may have clawed back an opportunity to introduce and sum up the reasons why they should be president. The objective was “reiterated” in a conference call Wednesday with the campaign staffs. According to Business Insider, the Donald spent more than half a million dollars on hats and related apparel. Merrill’s firm takes in $25,000 a month from the campaign, while Laudner’s firm takes in $15,000 a month. But even more striking, Trump received nearly $4 million in what his campaign called “unsolicited donations”.
Trump’s campaign has offices in Myrtle Beach, Columbia, and Charleston.
The video noted that Trump has touted his love of the military, but avoided the draft in Vietnam by receiving deferments. “Bernie Sanders (I-VT) gave [Hillary Clinton] a big pass by saying, ‘the American people are exhausted of hearing about your emails and your server”, she said of the Vermont senator’s handling of Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner.
Both mr. Trump and Dr. Carson were particularly concerned about the debate’s length and whether candidates would be allowed to make opening and closing statements. He’s raised money from hundreds of retirees, ranchers, dentists, physicians, real estate executives and financial consultants. The campaign is spending money as quickly as it receives it, and the campaign reports having had $254,772 on hand as of September 30.
Trump says Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen’s decision to delay hiking interest rates is motivated by politics. Seven in 10 Republican primary voters say they would support Trump if he becomes the party’s presidential nominee, while 35 percent of the voters think they could see Trump winning in the November 2016 election.

Illinois retiree Beverly Perlson, who’s from a military family, said she was immediately drawn to Trump because of his attention to veterans’ issues and his promise to overhaul the Department of Veterans Affairs. That problem spurred by raising rates, Trump argued, could be “a recession or worse”.
