“It means losing the First Amendment”. “Our country is out of control”, Trump said.

I found it amusing that while Jeb Bush was lighting into Trump, the CNN cameras went to split screen, showing Trump making faces and rolling his eyes. You know, Mark Levin wrote a column last week that says that the attack ads his Super PAC is running that are saying the same thing, that they are knowingly false, and they are, in fact, Alinsky-like attacks like Barack Obama. And just for ratings. “And I think I got a chance to express my views and compare them to someone who talks a big game but really hasn’t thought it through”.
“It’s not CNN. It’s Americans watching you”, said Hugh Hewitt, a radio talkshow host at the Salem Radio Network and one of the moderators of the debate.
Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are topping Republican polls right now.
“It’s not a war on faith”, he added. Yes, there are clear differences of opinion among the candidates – particularly Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul – which is precisely what a healthy, broad-based party should have.
I won’t criticize Trump.
Earlier, a pre-debate forum featured four other candidates: former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham and former NY governor George Pataki.
The poll also found that one of Trump’s most controversial statements to date – that the USA should ban all Muslims from entering the country until officials get a handle on terrorist threats – is broadly popular among likely Florida Republican primary voters: 48.3 percent said they “strongly approve” of Trump’s position, while 24.2 percent “somewhat approve”.
“Well, let’s see, I’m at 42 and you’re at 3, so far, I’m doing better”, Trump retorted. “He’s a chaos candidate, and he’ll be a chaos president”.

Trump retorted that Bush was only attacking him because his campaign was a “disaster”. Eventually, a serious smackdown took place between the two, during which Bush declared, “You’re never going to be president of the United States by insulting your way to the presidency”. While Cruz strongly supported legal immigration expansion during the 2013 effort, calling for an expansion of the number of visas for high-skilled foreign workers even more greater than the bill originally proposed, he has since flipped, proposing a sweeping immigration plan last month that seeks to reduce future immigration levels, and associating himself with Trump on the issue.
