It’s Trump’s highest number in any Monmouth polling of Iowa, the university said.
Sanders has said previously that he could win Iowa but his comments suggested an attempt to lower expectations in the final week before the caucuses.
The debate is not one of the six primary debates sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee. Nobody else has been able to do anything like this short of the Kennedys, and they’re pikers compared to the way Trump is doing this.
“It doesn’t make sense to me”, said McCreery, a 70-year-old retiree from the aptly-named town of Clinton. The GOP front-runner dug in his heels, insisting he meant to retaliate against the network by depriving them of ratings.
USA presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has stepped up his fight with Fox News, using the word “bimbo” in a nasty tweet about host Megyn Kelly after pulling out of a debate.
“We will be working with the DNC and the other campaigns to schedule additional debates”, Briggs said.
He gave the example from 2012, when former Speaker Newt Gingrich was asked an embarrassing question by a CNN debate moderator at a SC debate about allegations he had an open marriage.
“Obviously we would love all of the candidates to participate, but each campaign ultimately makes their own decision what’s in their best interest”, said RNC chief strategist Sean Spicer.
Trump’s Fox feud dates back to the first Republican primary debate, when moderator Megyn Kelly took Trump to task over derogatory statements he’d made in the past at women.
That statement said the leaders of Iran and Russian Federation “both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president” and that “Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings”.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said Republicans “don’t have time for these kinds of distractions”. In fourth place, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson (10%) is the only other candidate cracking double digits. “You stick it to them and let them have it”. “I’m going to have something else in Iowa, do something where we raise money for the veterans and the wounded warriors. Let Fox play its games”, Trump said. “When the race gets tight, it’s a little more exciting to go with the underdog”, she said. Ted Cruz, has proven to be a master of commanding media attention at key moments.
“In (the recent) Politico interview, the President himself noted he was not a big fan of participating in presidential debates, but he never backed out of a debate two days before it was scheduled to be held”.
