Republican feud escalates as SC Gov. Haley backs Marco Rubio

Trump has repeatedly advocated enhanced interrogation techniques for foreign prisoners, and he said again Wednesday he would “absolutely” allow waterboarding, which simulates the feeling of drowning. The South Carolina primary for them is on February 27.

Cruz’s team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The manoeuvring comes as some Republican leaders fear Donald Trump or Ted Cruz will collect the delegates needed to secure the party’s nomination before a more mainstream candidate can consolidate the support of voters turned off by the brash billionaire and Texas senator. “You have been threatening frivolous lawsuits for your entire adult life, even in the annals of frivolous lawsuits, this takes the cake”.

Truth Check believes that the ad suggesting that Trump supports the campaigns of Democratic candidates is “misleading”.

In a statement, the Cruz campaign insisted that it would now air the ad with greater frequency.

But Cruz, who said he would like to take Trump’s deposition himself, said a lawsuit against the ad has no chance.

Amid the squabbling, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley endorsed Rubio as the Republicans’ best hope for winning the White House, a boost to Rubio and a blow to Bush, who had lobbied hard for her to pick him. The Cruz camp has argued that the mailers were simply an advertisement, but Trump has said that their official appearance was misleading.

“When you see a number this different, it means you might be right on top of a shift in the campaign”, McInturff said. “I don’t think we need to be sending federal taxpayer found an organization on video has been implicated in what appears to be multiple federal felonies”. The Texas Senator accused Trump of being against the Second Amendment, being in favor of Obamacare and being pro-choice which the latter has denied. I would agree if they were referring to a revolt against Trump who received 35 percent of the vote in New Hampshire and only 24 percent of the vote in Iowa. He raised the subject of eminent domain, and said, “Theoretically, I’m not saying this happens, but theoretically for a moment, imagine that a developer decided they wanted to take private property away to build a hotel or something like that-just theoretically”.

Jeb said he was “disappointed” by Haley’s endorsement of Rubio, his onetime Florida protégé, who Bush insists doesn’t have the experience or leadership qualities needed to be president.
