Trump continued his efforts to burnish his conservative credentials Thursday, touting his endorsement from Sarah Palin (without whom, Trump asserted, Cruz never would have won his U.S. Senate race). “I also don’t see malice in Trump like I see with Cruz”.
Cruz is attacking Trump for favoring eminent domain, depicting Trump as a heartless businessman.
Cruz’s ad rips into Trump for supporting eminent domain laws, saying the billionaire is “what’s wrong” with the system.. “He was supporting Marco Rubio’s Dream Act”, Cruz said.

“It would be a big mistake for Iowa to support him”, Branstad said.

When faced with a decision between the two men, Graham said: “What does it really matter?”

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, an early frontrunner, was tied in the number five slot with Ohio Gov. John Kasich with five percent of support. “I don’t think the outcome will be substantially different”.
