Speaking to thousands at a packed Columbus rally, Trump said techniques practiced until late in the Bush administration and disavowed by President Barack Obama should be brought back because they work. It was well covered at the time, George. Trump is operating on his own set of “facts”.

“I’m going to have a midterm test in about 78 days, and we won’t have to worry about any more speculation”, Mr. Kasich said, referring to New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary.
