Sometime Mar-a-Lago Clubresident (and owner) Donald Trump is the big choice of Republicans in the state of Florida according to a new Florida Atlantic Poll that was released on Wednesday.
“Oh my goodness gracious”. “I hope this doesn’t become a political chew toy in a political campaign”, he said. “Who are they to say that?” It polled 500 likely Republican primary voters in Alabama who said they intend to cast ballots in the GOP primary on March 1. On Boston Herald Radio early Thursday, Cruz said the Republican establishment was moving toward Trump, and he suggested the New Yorker might compromise on conservative principles on issues such as immigration and eminent domain.
Beck even said that he’s accepted an invitation to appear at another rally for “somebody else who will remain nameless”.
Paul Rieckhoff, who leads the non-partisan Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), also refuted Palin’s statement saying “It’s not President Obama’s fault that Sarah Palin’s son has PTSD”. Not when she offers gems such as this: “Believe me on this”.
“But they are aware that no such deal-making that damages the country will occur with Ted Cruz”, Limbaugh added. So major GOP donors who used to turn their noses up at Trump are now writing him checks. Back in March 2015, only 23% of Republican voters said they would support Trump in a general election.
“As a party, we’d have a better chance of winning with him, and I think a lot of Republicans look at it that way”, Giuliani said. “If it was Sarah Palin, let me just say I’d be deeply disappointed”.
Labeling Cruz “pro immigration” and “pro amnesty”, the spot mocks Cruz’s denial that his amendments would have allowed people in the country illegally to stay permanently and obtain legal status.
Palin vocally backed Cruz when he ran for Senate in 2012 as underdog against then-Lt. “But I’d rather go down standing up, as Morgan Freeman said in the movie Glory, fighting for something”.

The comments came not long after the conservative magazine National Review published its latest issue online featuring a collection of scathing anti-Trump essays from noted conservatives, underscoring the deep resistance that remains to his unorthodox candidacy, despite his commanding lead in early polls. “Our shared goal isn’t just to change the majority in control of the Senate, but to assure principled conservatives like you are there to fight for us”.
