Donald Trump gets 25 percent of Iowa likely Republican Caucus participants in a too-close-to-call race with Sen.
“I saw people getting together and, in fairly large numbers, celebrating as the World Trade Center was coming down, killing thousands of people – thousands and thousands of people”, Trump said at the rally on Monday.
The Carson campaign did not immediately respond to a request for related footage. “I think waterboarding is peanuts compared to what they’d do to us, what they’re doing to us, what they did to James Foley when they chopped off his head”, Trump said. “Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio lead among party insiders”, said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. Just three percent said they would support former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, according to the poll results. Trump was 20 points off Carson at 59 percent.
“Worth remembering, however, is that winning Iowa is no guarantee of success elsewhere”, Brown said in the statement.
“The thing that will destroy our country is if we’re overly concerned with violating someone’s sensibilities while we allow blatant activity to occur that would violate all of our sensibilities”, he said. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won the 2008 caucus and former Sen.

Seen as a torture technique by the Obama administration, Donald Trump said that bin Laden would not have been killed in 2011 if it wasn’t for this method, although a 2014 Senate Intelligence Committee report draw the conclusion that it didn’t produce any breakthrough intelligence in the bin Laden case.
