Many agree that Mr Trump is damaging the Republican brand and sucking oxygen from other candidates.
He called New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie a friend, but said: “I’ve told this to Chris, I’ve told it to his people: He missed his time”.

Donald Trump, a political amateur, has won the first Republican presidential debate of the 2016 primary. American corporations in 2015 do not want to be associated with Archie Bunker’s rich uncle.

But many other candidates and members of the party had the opportunity to condemn the rhetoric. They don’t want to talk about it because they have no interest in doing anything about it. They are so out touch that they think voters will desert Republicans if they are tough on illegal aliens.

The businessman believes that “there is nothing to apologize for” while saying that he will still be able to get the votes of Latinos because of his record in giving them jobs. “It’s all of us saying to people in that church, ‘We understand how you feel and we’re going to respond to your feelings, ‘” said Graham.
