“You watch”, he said earlier this week. “I don’t even know if she’s going to be the candidate necessarily”. “I have a lot of respect for them”. “Donald Trump’s hitting a nerve in this country”, admitted his rival, Ohio Governor John Kasich.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul was quick to rebuke. But anybody who doesn’t realize that the people of this country are kind of fed up with the way things are … you’re missing it….
Trump’s stand-out remarks included his response to Fox News host and debate moderator Megyn Kelly about comments he’s made in reference to women as “fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals” and his insistence to not necessarily support another Republican if he doesn’t become the GOP’s nominee.
“Only Rosie O’Donnell”, Trump said, without missing a beat. He has instant name recognition across America as well through presenting the US version of the Apprentice, and he is a one man self publicity machine. He says this led to the creation of the Islamic State, or ISIS. “And that’s what is happening whether you like it or not”.
Immigration is a favourite subject of Trump, who has promised to build a wall between Mexico and the United States to stop illegal immigrants.
“I will give FNC this – if they were treating the dems like this I would have said they were gratuitously busting their chops”, he wrote on Twitter.
Trump added that “What what I say, and oftentimes it’s fun, it’s kidding”. “I’ve always admired her and like her“. “I owed over $100,000 just four years ago”. These people aren’t babies. These are total killers. “You’re sort of in the trenches with people”. “You’re living in the world of the make-believe, Chris”. He accused Christie of being friendly with President Barack Obama, whom he hugged during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. “And you can’t be happy about that”. We don’t win anymore.
He sparked a firestorm and offended many Hispanic voters when he said Mexico was not “sending its best” and said the immigrants were bringing drugs and crime to the US. In a Tuesday interview, Trump said he’s been defying expectations all his life.
“The questions to me were not nice. And I thought Megyn behaved very badly, personally”, he told reporters. He’s getting a fifth to a quarter of the GOP vote in national polls and has good numbers in both Iowa and New Hampshire.

Trump deflected by declaring most of his insults were directed at O’Donnell, with whom he has had several prominent Twitter spats. I don’t know that I’ve ever met him. I think I handled it well.
